"text": "\"Is an Executive Order unconstitutional? Add a New Topic Add to My Favorites Debate This Topic Report This Topic73% Say Yes 28% Say No Too Far I think Obama has signed more executive orders than any other president in America's history. Our rights and freedoms are slowly being trampled by the current administration. As for Obama's last 23 orders, I think most are justly issued, however a few important ones need to be vetoed for the interest of the general population of the country, not just gun owners. Posted by: oceanpoet Report Post Reply Challenge2Abuse of Power It's about checks and balance. That\"\"s WHY congress makes the laws so the President cannot have too much power. It's totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! What it is it about this president we have now that makes him think he is any different than those before him? He has to abide by the constitution as we all do. If he wants to change laws, go about it the way it was ORIGINALLY designed."

"text": "\"Supreme Law of the Land: What does that really mean?4/17/20144 Comments There are several explanations for why the states do not have the ability to nullify federal \"\"law.\"\" The most iron clad is as follows: Priority of the Supremacy Clause Article VI clause 2 (The Supremacy Clause) establishes that the only unqualified \"\"supreme Law of the Land\"\" is the Constitution itself. No \"\"law\"\" is above it, not federal enactments, not treaties, not international law. Federal enactments only rise to the level of \"\"supreme Law\"\" if the enactment is made \"\"in Pursuance\"\" of the Constitution. In \"\"Pursuance\"\" means the enactment, if a bill, satisfies the procedural requirements of the Constitution i.e., both houses of Congress pass the bill before it goes to the President and appropriation bills start in the House. And, the bill satisfies the substantive requirements of the Constitution. This means a bill relates to and is within the scope of one of the enumerated powers of the general government. No Unconstitutional \"\"Laws\"\" only Null Enactments If the procedural or substantive Constitutional prerequisites are not met, then the federal bill does not become part of the \"\"Supreme Law of the Land.\"\" This principle was espoused in 1803 by the U. S. Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison. In fact, the Marbury Court tells us this is a rule of Constitutional law which predates our Constitution and the colonies."

"text": "\"Feb152005The War Powers Resolution: An Unnecessary, Unconstitutional Source of \"\"Friendly Fire\"\" in the War Against International Terrorism? Sponsors: International & National Security Law Practice Group Robert F. Turner By Professor Robert F. Turner The conventional wisdom, at least until recently, was that our tragic misadventure in Indochina was a result of presidential usurpation of the power of Congress to \"\"declare War,\"\" and the 1973 War Powers Resolution was the necessary legislative remedy to guard against future encroachment and protect the American people from presidential adventurism. The argument made sense to a lot of people in 1973, but it is not supported by the facts. The time has come to reexamine the proper constitutional role of Congress concerning the sending of U. S. armed forces into harms way, to reassess the rationale behind this controversial statute, and for Congress to consider anew the utility of a statute that even former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell has declared to be unconstitutional and harmful to the security interests of the United States. This is all the more important in the light of the current war against international terrorism, as the War Powers Resolution has played a fundamental role in encouraging the killing of hundreds of American troops in the past and endangers the safety of both military and civilians alike in the current struggle. Congress recently enacted a collection of new authorities and repealed several statutory provisions recognized to hamper unnecessarily the war against terrorism, but that job may not be finished. Background and Overview The War Powers Resolution was enacted over a presidential veto as Public Law 93-148 on November 7, 1973. Its alleged purpose was: [T]o fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations. [ 1]The statute consists of ten sections. Section 3 requires the President \"\"in every possible instance\"\" to \"\"consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances,\"\" and regularly thereafter until the forces are removed or hostilities cease."

District Court Judge Arthur Schwab released his opinion concerning Barack Obama's executive amnesty, in which he said the usurper-in-chief has, once again, violated his oath of office and the Constitution. The judge expressed his opinion on the matter in a case involving Elionardo Juarez-Escobar, an illegal alien who has been in the United States illegally for many years, attempted to avoid being deported under Obama's recent amnesty announcement. \"\" On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced an Executive Action on immigration, which will affect approximately four million undocumented immigrants who are unlawfully present in the United States of America,\"\" wrote Schwab. \"\" This Executive Action raises concerns about the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of government. This core constitutional issue necessitates judicial review to ensure that executive power is governed by and answerable to the law such that the sword that executeth the law is in it, and not above it. President Obama contended that although legislation is the most appropriate course of action to solve the immigration debate, his Executive Action was necessary because of Congress's failure to pass legislation, acceptable to him, in this regard. This proposition is arbitrary and does not negate the requirement that the November 20, 2014 Executive Action be lawfully within the President's executive authority. It is not. \"\"\"\" This Executive Action 'cross [es] the line,' constitutes 'legislation,' and effectively changes the United States' immigration policy.

Circuit Judge Milton Hirsch on Monday became the first state judge to rule on the constitutionality of Florida’s revamped death-penalty sentencing law. Miami-Dade prosecutors immediately vowed to appeal. He issued the ruling in the case of Karon Gaiter, 37, who is awaiting trial for first-degree murder for fatally shooting a man seated in a car in North Miami-Dade in April 2012. Hirsch wrote that Florida’s recently enacted “super majority” system — 10 of 12 juror votes are needed to impose execution as punishment for murder — goes against the long-time sanctity of unanimous verdicts in the U.

White House Pool / Getty Imagesby Robert Longley Updated October 04, 2017A presidential executive order (EO) is a directive issued to federal agencies, department heads, or other federal employees by the President of the United States under his statutory or constitutional powers. In many ways, presidential executive orders are similar to written orders, or instructions issued by the president of a corporation to its department heads or directors. Thirty days after being published in the Federal Register, executive orders take effect. While they do bypass the U. S. Congress and the standard legislative law making process, no part of an executive order may direct the agencies to conduct illegal or unconstitutional activities. President George Washington issued the first executive order in 1789. Since then, all U. S. presidents have issued executive orders, ranging from Presidents Adams, Madison and Monroe, who issued only one each, to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who issued 3,522 executive orders. Reasons for Issuing Executive Orders Presidents typically issue executive orders for one of these purposes: 1. Operational management of the executive branch 2. Operational management of federal agencies or officials 3."

In the United States, judicial review is the ability of a court to examine and decide if a statute, treaty or administrative regulation contradicts or violates the provisions of existing law, a State Constitution, or ultimately the United States Constitution. While the U. S. Constitution does not explicitly define a power of judicial review, the authority for judicial review in the United States has been inferred from the structure, provisions, and history of the Constitution. [ 1]Two landmark decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court served to confirm the inferred constitutional authority for judicial review in the United States: In 1796, Hylton v. United States was the first case decided by the Supreme Court involving a direct challenge to the constitutionality of an act of Congress, the Carriage Act of 1794 which imposed a \"\"carriage tax\"\". [ 2] The Court engaged in the process of judicial review by examining the plaintiff's claim that the carriage tax was unconstitutional. After review, the Supreme Court decided the Carriage Act was constitutional. In 1803, Marbury v. Madison [3] was the first Supreme Court case where the Court asserted its authority for judicial review to strike down a law as unconstitutional. At the end of his opinion in this decision, [4] Chief Justice John Marshall maintained that the Supreme Court's responsibility to overturn unconstitutional legislation was a necessary consequence of their sworn oath of office to uphold the Constitution as instructed in Article Six of the Constitution. As of 2014, the United States Supreme Court has held 176 Acts of the U. S. Congress unconstitutional.

"text": "What are 'Checks And Balances'Checks and balances are various procedures set in place to reduce mistakes, prevent improper behavior or decrease the risk of centralization of power. Checks and balances usually ensure that no one person or department has absolute control over decisions and clearly define the assigned duties. The existence of checks and balances within an organization prevents any one person or department from having too much power and forces cooperation in completing tasks. Next Up Branch Manager Branch Accounting Separation Of Powers Foreign Branch Bank BREAKING DOWN 'Checks And Balances'Checks and balances are important, especially in businesses and other organizations where one individual can make decisions that affect operations. That said, checks and balances can cost more money and decrease efficiency, so a balance needs to be found. By separating the duties of various employees into clearly defined roles, businesses and organizations are better able to ensure that rogue employees or executives cannot bring down a business without other employees noticing. The term is most commonly used in the context of government. An Example of Checks and Balances Within the Government The United States Constitution provides checks and balances for the U. S. government through its division into three branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch. The Constitution gave specific abilities to each one of these three branches. The point was to ensure that no one section of the government would have too much power."

The case ended with the Court overruling its decision in Grovery, Townshend (1935) and found the restrictions against African Americans unconstitutional.

Such pronouncements are called signing statements. They have been published in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (discontinued in January 2009) and the Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States. Signing statements have also been published in U. S. Code Congressional and Administrative News (West Group) since 1986. The Executive Branch, which is headed by the President, is tasked by the Constitution with the duty \"\"to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.\"\" ( Article II, Section 3 ). This language is often referred to as the \"\"Take Care Clause.\"\" Congress passes laws and the President enforces them. If the President feels a law is unconstitutional or otherwise ill-advised, the President can veto the law instead of signing it. At this point Congress can respond in various ways."

"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."

Here are the main things that cause people to pay alternative minimum tax. This page provides a list of items that can cause (or contribute to) liability under the alternative minimum tax. The list isn’t complete — there are other items that can contribute to AMT liability. Based on our experience, the items described below are likely to affect more people than other items. For a complete list, see IRS Form 6251 and its instructions. By the way, if you count more than 10 items below, just consider it a bonus. The main culprits IRS statistics indicate that two items are far more important than any others in causing people to pay alternative minimum tax.

"text": "Tax Exempt By Investopedia Staff What is 'Tax Exempt'Tax exempt refers to income earnings or transactions that are free from tax at the federal, state or local level. When a taxpayer earns wages or sells an asset for a gain, that individual is creating a tax liability. While a tax deduction refers to an amount that reduces a tax liability, a tax-exempt item is excluded from any tax calculations. BREAKING DOWN 'Tax Exempt'A tax deduction is a deduction from gross income that is based on certain expenses incurred by a taxpayer, and deductions are subtracted from gross income to arrive at taxable income. Federal and state tax codes provide many types of tax deductions, such as an individual taxpayer’s deduction for home mortgage interest payments. Tax-exempt items, on the other hand, may be reported on the tax return for informational purposes, but the item is not part of any tax calculations. Factoring in Tax-Exempt Interest One common type of tax-exempt income is interest earned on municipal bonds, which are bonds issued by states and cities to raise funds for general operations or for a specific project. When a taxpayer earns interest income on municipal bonds issued in his state of residence, the income is exempt from both federal and state taxes. Taxpayers receive a form 1099-INT for any investment interest earned during the year, and tax-exempt interest is reported in box 8 of the form. Tax-exempt interest is reported for informational purposes only and is not included in the calculation of personal income taxes."

"text": "Kelly Phillips Erb Forbes Staff Taxes 3/15/2017 @ 8:54AM 54,261 views What Exactly Is The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)? Shutterstock Following the discussions about President Trump’s 2005 tax returns on Rachel Maddow’s show last night (more from Forbes’ Dan Alexander on that here ), I immediately received questions about the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax). If you’re scratching your head wondering what the AMT is, exactly, here’s a brief explanation: The AMT is a secondary tax put in place to prevent the wealthy from artificially reducing their tax bill through the use of tax preference items. The idea was that people who had very high incomes should not be able to use certain deductions to lower their tax bill below what should be reasonably expected for taxpayers at their income level. The inspiration for the AMT can be traced to 1969 when then Secretary of the Treasury Secretary Joseph W. Barr testified before Congress that 155 individual taxpayers with incomes exceeding $200,000 had paid no federal income tax in 1966. Adjusted for inflation, those numbers from 1966 translate to roughly $1.5 million in today’s money. How did those taxpayers do it? By exploiting existing tax breaks. High dollar earners generally have high-dollar expenses. They may have more expensive houses, live in high tax areas and spend more money on investments."

"text": "About Municipal Bonds Print The AMT and Muni Bonds Even after April 15, investors who own certain types of municipal bonds should be aware of potential Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT) liabilities. AMT is a separate tax computation under the Internal Revenue Code that, in effect, eliminates many deductions and credits and creates a tax liability for an individual who would otherwise pay little or no tax. In recent years, more and more people have found themselves subject to the AMT. The unique feature that sets municipal bonds apart from all other capital market securities is that the interest earned on them is exempt from federal income taxes. Also called “tax exempts” the interest on bonds issued in one state is also usually exempt from that state's income taxes, and in some cases from local income taxes. Municipal bonds, securities sold by state and local governments to finance capital projects, are also issued for purposes that are outside the realm of pure governmental functions. Such bonds include those issued for not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organizations and other “private activity” issuers such as airports and certain types of housing agencies. According to the IRS Web site, for 2008 the exemption amounts for figuring the AMT have increased, and this amount depends on your filing status. You may have to pay the AMT if your taxable income for regular tax purposes, combined with certain adjustment and tax preference items (including interest on certain private activity bonds), is more than the following exemption amounts below:$69,950 if you are married filing a joint return or a qualified widow (er),$46,200 if you are single or head of household, or$34,975 if you are married filing a separate return. “Private activity” municipal bonds are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax."

The majority of its provisions kicked in on January 1 st and many of the changes will expire after 2025. The tax law changes should have almost no effect on your 2017 tax return. Let’s take a look at some of the more important provisions within the new law, and the likely effect on your taxes:1. Tax brackets have changed. The new law keeps seven tax brackets but changes the tax rates, which shifts income into lower tax brackets. The long-term capital gains tax rates remain essentially unchanged, and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the new ordinary income tax rates. Most (although not all) taxpayers will owe less under the new rules, according to analyses by various independent think tanks, including the Tax Foundation and the Tax Policy Center. The impact of the changes will vary based on each taxpayer’s income level, amount of itemized deductions and other factors.

"text": "\"If you're a current or prospective Vanguard tax-exempt fund shareholder, learn about potential alternative minimum tax (AMT) implications on fund income. What is AMT? AMT is a federal income tax calculated separately from the regular federal income tax. It is designed to prevent taxpayers—particularly those with high incomes—from using certain deductions and credits (called tax-preference items) to pay little or no taxes. In recent years, AMT has impacted growing numbers of middle-income taxpayers because the amount of income that can be excluded from AMT has not been indexed for inflation. You may or may not be subject to AMT. To find out, you must complete IRS Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals, in addition to your regular 1040 tax return. AMT can impact tax-exempt fund investors One factor in determining whether you owe AMT is investment in tax-exempt municipal bonds (either directly, through individual securities, or indirectly through a mutual fund). A tax-exempt mutual fund, for example, may hold \"\"private-activity\"\" bonds that are among the tax-preference items counted for AMT purposes. Under the AMT system, fund income you receive that is attributed to these bonds—sold by municipalities to finance private projects such as airports or sports stadiums—is taxable."

"text": "Most states tax at least some types of business income derived from the state. As a rule, the details of how income from a specific business is taxed depend in part on the business’s legal form. In most states, corporations are subject to a corporate income tax while income from “pass-through entities,” such as S corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and sole proprietorships, is subject to a state’s tax on personal income. Tax rates for both corporate income and personal income vary widely among states. Corporate rates, which more often are flat regardless of the amount of income, generally range from 4% to 9%, and personal rates, which generally vary depending on the amount of income, can range from 0% (for small amounts of taxable income) to around 9% or more in some states.

For single taxpayers, personal exemptions begin to be phased out at $258,250 and are fully phased out by $380,750. For married taxpayers filing jointly, personal exemptions begin to be phased out at $309,900 and are fully phased out by $432,400.

"text": "\"A savvy business owner must carefully consider both nontax and tax ramifications when deciding how to structure the business. It is unwise to select a business structure based solely upon tax considerations. But, it is also unwise to neglect to consider the tax impact of your decision. For example, if you run a business that engages in operations that are considered \"\"risky\"\" or subject to frequent lawsuits, your legal advisers are likely to urge you to incorporate or form an LLC. While doing so will complicate your taxes, you would be foolish to put your assets at risk for the sake of a easy-to-prepare tax return. Nontax considerations that may make incorporation the best choice areease of obtaining investment capitalincreased ability to recapitalize and reorganize the business as it grows largerincreased latitude in succession planning In addition, there are tax advantages. Incorporating provides access to tax strategies that aren't available otherwise, such as accumulating income within the corporation or providing income to the shareholders using both salary and distributions. There are some potential disadvantages as well—although with recent tax law changes these are not as discouraging as they were. For example, income of a regular corporation may be \"\"taxed twice.\"\" The income can be taxed on the corporation's own tax return and once again on the shareholder's individual return."

"text": "Want CE Credit for reading articles like this? Learn More!How PEP And Pease Don’t Actually Penalize Deductions, They’re Just 1% Surtaxes On Income November 25, 2015 07:01 am 2 Comments CATEGORY: Taxes14Shares A A A14Shares Executive Summary Back in 1991, Congress first enabled the “Pease limitation” phasing out itemized deductions, and the “Personal Exemption Phaseout” (PEP), which were designed to limit the tax benefits of those deductions for higher-income taxpayers. While the PEP and Pease limitations were themselves phased out in the mid-2000s, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 re-enacted them beginning in 2013, making them a current tax planning issue. Yet the irony is that while they are referred to as “phaseouts of itemized deductions” and a “personal exemption phaseout” the reality is that the Pease limitation and PEP are applied primarily based on the extent by which someone’s income is over specified thresholds. As a result, while they’re labeled as penalties to deductions and exemptions, the Pease limitation and PEP actually function more like surtaxes on income, amounting to a 1% marginal tax rate increase for the Pease limitation, and another 1% rate increase per family member for the PEP. The reason why this distinction matters is that ultimately, as surtaxes on income, the PEP and especially the Pease limitation are not actually disincentives against deduction-producing strategies; for instance, with almost all taxpayers, the tax savings of charitable giving is actually identical with or without the Pease limitation! In the end, this means that advisors and their clients should be cautious about trying to avoid deductions when faced with PEP and the Pease limitation; instead, simply recognize their 1% surtax effects, and focus planning on income given the higher marginal tax rates that result!Understanding PEP And The Pease Limitation And Their AGI Thresholds Under rules that were (re-)enacted as a part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, higher-income taxpayers face a limitation on the tax benefits they receive for their itemized deductions and personal exemptions. Specifically, the rules stipulate that under IRC Section 68, for every $1 of income over the specified threshold, 3% of that amount will be subtracted from the taxpayer’s itemized deductions. In addition, under IRC Section 151 (d) (3), for every $2,500 of income over the same threshold, the taxpayer will lose 2% of his/her personal exemptions. These two rules, triggering a phaseout of itemized deductions and personal exemptions, are also known respectively as the Pease Limitation on itemized deductions (named after Representative Donald Pease [D-Oh.]"

Tax brackets—the income ranges to which the different rates apply—vary depending on taxpayers’ filing status (see the table below).

With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), many tax brackets, thresholds, and rates will change in 2018. Noticeable changes to the structure of the individual tax code include the elimination of personal exemptions, the elimination of the Pease limitation on itemized deductions, and the expansion of the Child Tax Credit. Additionally, on a yearly basis the IRS adjusts more than 40 tax provisions for inflation. This is done to prevent what is called “bracket creep,” when people are pushed into higher income tax brackets or have reduced value from credits or deductions due to inflation, instead of any increase in real income. The IRS used to use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate the past year’s inflation. However, with the TCJA, the IRS will now use the Chained Consumer Price Index (C-CPI) to adjust income thresholds, deduction amounts, and credit values accordingly.

S. citizen or resident alien (Green Card Holder) living and/or working in a foreign country, the rules for filing U. S. income tax returns and paying estimated taxes are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. Please be aware that your international income is taxed, regardless of where you reside. However, you may qualify to claim a foreign earned income exclusion. Should I File An U. S. Income Tax Return If I Live And/Or Work Abroad? In general, if you lived and/or worked abroad during the Tax Year and you have gross income from worldwide sources that's at least the amount shown for your filing status, you must file a tax return. For all U. S. citizens and resident aliens, there are three factors that generally determine whether you must file a tax return: Filing status Income you earned working for a foreign country Age If you are a dependent of another U. S. taxpayer What Should I Report on My U. S. Income Tax Return If I Live And/Or Work Abroad? If you are a U. S. citizen or resident alien who lives abroad during the Tax Year, you may have the following items that need to be reported on your tax return: Gross Income: includes all income your received throughout the Tax Year, including goods, money, services, self-employment earnings (reported on Gross Income line of Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or the Gross Receipts line of Schedule C-EZ, Net Profit from Business), and property that's not exempt from taxes; also includes income you excluded as foreign earned income or foreign housing amounts Foreign Income: you must convert your foreign currency into US dollars if you either received part or all your or paid all or some of your expenses with it What is Foreign Earned Income? Foreign earned income is income that you receive for services you perform in a foreign country during the period your tax home (the general area of your main place of business, employment, or post of duty where you are permanently or indefinitely engaged to work) is in a foreign country and you meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test. However, there are items that the IRS doesn't include as foreign earned income, including: Previously excluded value of meals and lodging furnished for the employer's convenience Pay you received as an U. S. Government employee Recaptured unallowable moving expenses Annuity or pension payments (includes Social Security benefits)Payments received after the end of the Tax Year following the Tax Year in which you performed the services that resulted in earned income Amounts that are included in your income because of your employer's contributions to a nonexempt employee trust or to a nonqualified annuity contract Does the Method or Location of Foreign Payment Have Any Effect On the Source of My Foreign Income? How or where you are paid has no effect on the income's source."

"text": "\"Standard Deduction Standard deduction is a specific dollar amount that you can deduct from your income to reduce your taxable income. The amount of standard deduction depends only on your filing status and is increased every year to adjust for inflation. You are eligible for standard deduction if you have not itemized your deductions and you are either a US citizen, a resident alien (married or single), or a head of a household. Non-resident aliens are not eligible for standard deduction. You may be eligible for higher standard deduction amounts if you meet certain special criteria e.g. you are blind or over 65 years of age. Standard Deduction Amounts The applicable standard deduction amounts for tax year 2017, for which the return must by filed by Apr 15, 2018, are as follows: Filing status Standard Deduction Amount Single $6,350Married Filing Jointly $12,700Married Filing Separately $6,350Head of household $9,350Qualifying widow (er) $12,700Additional Amount if Blind $1,250 (for married filing joint, married filing separately, or qualifying widow); $1,550 (for single and head of household)Additional Amount if age 65 or older $1,250 (for married filing joint, married filing separately, or qualifying widow); $1,550 (for single and head of household). Itemized Deductions Itemized deductions, on the other hand, are expenses which one can list if these expenses belong to a predetermined list of allowable items. The allowable items include payments to doctors, medical insurance premiums, cost of medical equipment and many more. There are differences between the two, and understanding them is imperative in deciding the exact amount of taxable income to be declared. Expenses that can be itemized Itemizing deductions would generally be more advantageous if the sum of all itemizable expenses works out to be greater than the standard deduction for the corresponding filing status."

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

Steve and Kay (his spouse) elected to split the gift made to Steve's sister, so each is treated as making a gift of $15,000. Since both Steve and Kay would be eligible for a $13,000 exclusion, each will have made a taxable gift of $15,000 - $13,000 exclusion = $2,000. In 2010, Sayers, who is single, gave an outright gift of $50,000 to a friend, Johnson, who needed the money to pay medical expenses.

Very few Americans understand how health care gets paid for. Even fewer know that we in the United States spend about twice as much per capita on health care as other developed nations, yet fewer people are insured and our outcomes tend to be worse. Ignorance of these basic facts is at the root of our stalemate about health care reform. Ms. Partanen is right to call out the bogus freedom being peddled by the current administration. The only freedom the current proposal protects is freedom of the market. That kind of freedom may be appropriate for buying a new toaster, but it is not appropriate for health care. CHARLES E.

"text": "A: Several types of expenses affect profits for a business including equipment costs, inventory and facilities costs. There are two main categories for all business expenses: operating expenses and overhead expenses. The costs that fall into each category depend on the nature of the business. Essentially, operating expenses are directly related to production, while overhead expenses are the costs to run the business. Operating expenses include materials, labor and machinery used to make a product or deliver a service. For example, a soda bottler has the cost of aluminum for cans, machinery costs and labor costs. An easy way to determine the operating expenses for a particular business is to think about the costs that are eliminated by shutting down production for a period of time. For example, the soda bottler still has to pay the facility lease payments, but all costs related to the actual making of the soda cease. Overhead expenses represent costs that are more static and relate to general business functions, such as paying accounting personnel and facility costs. In the scenario above with the soda bottler, the facility lease payments are still owed even if no current production takes place within the facility."

Rhinoplasty can enhance the appearance of the nose, improve function, or both. Functional rhinoplasty, which usually involves refining the structure of the nose to improve breathing, may be partially or fully covered by your medical insurance. Surgery performed specifically for aesthetic improvement, however, is an out-of-pocket expense. For many of us, the cost of plastic surgery is significant, and can often require financing. Because it is a substantial investment, it is important for patients to learn as much as possible about the factors that affect the cost of surgery, and choose an excellent surgeon who is most likely to deliver satisfying results.

Capitalized costs are incurred when building or financing fixed assets. Capitalized costs are not expensed in the period they were incurred, but recognized over a period of time via depreciation or amortizatio n. Next Up Cost Accounting Capitalization Capitalize Futures Market BREAKING DOWN 'Capitalized Cost'Capitalizing costs is a method of following the matching principle of accounting. The matching principle seeks to match expenses with revenues. In other words, match the cost of an item to the period in which it is used, as opposed to when the cost was incurred. As some assets have long lives and will be generating revenue during that useful life, their costs may be amortized over a long period. An example of where assets would and would not be capitalized can be found in the construction and operation of a warehouse. The costs associated with building the asset (including labor and financing costs) can be added to the carrying value of the fixed asset on the balance sheet. These capitalized costs will be recognized in future periods when revenues generated from the factory output are recognized. Cost vs. Expense When trying to discern what a capitalized cost is, it’s first important to make the distinction between what is defined as a cost and expense in the world of accounting. A cost on any transaction is the amount of money used in exchange for an asset."

Chapter 20 - Fringe benefits tax exempt benefits20.1 What is an exempt benefit? A number of benefits are exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT). Although these are popularly called 'exempt fringe benefits', they are referred to in the FBT legislation as 'exempt benefits' - in fact, by definition, an exempt benefit can't be a fringe benefit. Exempt benefits are not only exempt from FBT, they are also (with one exception) exempt from income tax in the hands of the employee to whom they are provided. The exception relates to car expense payments, which is explained in section 20.2 .20.2 Transport exemptions Cars There are circumstances in which private use of a car may be exempt from FBT. An employee's private use of a taxi, panel van or a utility designed to carry less than one tonne, or any other road vehicle designed to carry a load of less than one tonne (that is, one not designed principally to carry passengers) is exempt if their private use of such a vehicle is limited to:travel between home and worktravel that is incidental to travel in the course of performing employment-related dutiesnon-work-related use that is minor, infrequent and irregular - for example, occasional use of the vehicle to remove domestic rubbish. Example: Exempt use An electrical company employee takes the company van (carrying capacity of less than one tonne) home each night because there is no security at the company premises. The only non-work-related use during the FBT year was a trip to pick up some furniture and take it to the employee's home - this use of the van would be exempt from FBT."

"text": "\"CHAPTER 9 DEVELOPMENT COSTS OF COASTAL FISH FARMS9. COST ITEMS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FISH FARMOne of the major constraints that impede the development of coastal aquaculture not only in the region but also throughout the world is the high initial cost involved in site selection, planning/design activities, and actual construction of fishpond facilities. The initial cost of fishpond development comes from two sources, namely: cost of land and the cost of feasibility planning and designing activities. Subsequently, the major engineering cost consists of the actual construction.9.1 Cost of land The cost or value of land depends primarily on its earning capacity or in this case specifically on its suitability as a fishpond site. Normally, land value is a function of the amortized net returns of the products that can be produced from the land. Land for fishpond development can be acquired by purchase from a private owner or through lease of public land. The acquisition of land by purchase is an important decision to make and an unwise judgement can lead to disastrous results. Prospective land buyers should determine, regardless of the market value, whether the production potential of the land justifies the purchase. In most countries in the region, potential areas for coastal aquaculture are public or government property. Their acquisition by leasehold contracts are governed by the country's respective leasehold policies and regulations."

"text": "Construction and Start-Up Costs for Biomanufacturing Plants View PDF by Jean-Francois Denault Agnes Coquet Vincent Dodelet Friday, February 1, 2008 9:00 am All bioproducts heading to commercialization go through a rigorous process that includes research and development, proof of concept, and validation studies. Furthermore, the fabrication process of a biological product is very different from that of a classical (synthetic small-molecule) pharmaceutical. That’s not only because of specific characteristics and requirements of the molecular entities involved, but also environmental considerations and specific issues related to human health and safety. Such differences are reflected in the cost drivers of approved manufacturing plants. Herein we identify those cost drivers by examining real-life examples of biological products manufactured in Canada. Specifically, we contrast cost drivers of biopharmaceuticals and industrial bioproducts, especially with regard to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations. We examine a CGMP plant and two CGMP-compliant plants. The data are compared with those and an industrial bioproduct (bioethanol) for which there are no GMP requirements. Our analysis was preceded by in-depth interviews with consultants specialized in the building and validation of CGMP bioplants. Because the study was done in Canada, all costs presented here are in Canadian dollars."

"text": "Deductions from Royalties Historically, the oil and gas industry has treated the deductions from freehold royalties on oil and gas differently. Freehold oil royalties have been paid based on the price received for the oil at the outlet of an oil tank on or in the vicinity of the freeholder’s lands, without deducting costs such as separation, water disposal and oil storage incurred by the oil company-lessee between the point of production at the well head and the point of sale at the tank outlet. Freehold gas royalties have been paid based on the price received for the gas and gas by-products at the point of sale after deducting all of the costs incurred by the oil company-lessee between the point of production and the point of sale. To a large extent, these different methods of arriving at the value on which to pay freehold oil and gas royalties reflect the position which the Government of Alberta has historically adopted with respect to allowable deductions from Crown oil and gas royalties. In the years following the 1947 Leduc discovery, increased oil exploration resulted in the discovery of significant volumes of natural gas in western Canada. Unlike oil, gas can not be stored at the wellhead and to be sold must be delivered by a pipeline to an end user. Typically, the gas is processed to remove impurities and valuable natural gas liquids prior to pipelining. In the 1950's no gas plant or pipeline infrastructure was in place to get new found gas to market and, to encourage the oil and gas industry to develop expensive gas gathering and processing facilities in Alberta, the government of former premier Earnest Manning supported the implementation of the ‘Jumping Pound Formula’. This formula forms the basis for what has come to be known as the gas cost allowance (“GCA”) system. Under GCA, a company producing gas from Crown lands in Alberta is allowed to deduct certain gas gathering and processing costs in calculating the royalties due to the Province."

"text": "Nobody likes to get sick. To make matters worse, health care can be expensive. To help defray some of these costs, you may be able to take a personal tax deduction for some of your out-of-pocket medical expenses, including medical-related transportation and travel costs. How Much & What Can You Deduct? First of all, you can deduct your medical expenses only if you itemize your personal deductions on Schedule A of your tax return. You should itemize only if your total personal deductions exceed the standard deduction for the year. These personal deductions include not just your medical expenses (subject to the percentage limits discussed below), but also things like home mortgage interest and property taxes, state income taxes, charitable contributions, and several others. You can use Schedule A (or tax preparation software) to determine whether or not you should itemize. Fortunately, for tax purposes, medical expenses include many things, including health and dental insurance premiums you pay yourself, co-pays and deductibles, prescription drugs, dental, optometric and chiropractic care, and most other health related expenses. If you do itemize, you may deduct your medical expenses, including medical transpiration costs, only if and to the extent your total expenses exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the year."

We feel we have good cost estimates for much of the program with the cable production being the largest uncertainty. We have also tried to make conservative cost estimates. The bottom line is that the space elevator could be built at a cost comparable to many U. S. endeavors. Launch for Initial Spacecraft As we have progressed through this study several aspects of our program have changed. The launch vehicle is one of them. Due to results of further investigations into the deployment of a cable from orbit and to eliminate on-orbit splicing of the initial cable we have modified our deployment scenario. In our current plan we will send the entire system to low-Earth-orbit on shuttles, assemble the pieces and then send the large assembled spacecraft to geosynchronous orbit (see Chapter 5: Deployment). The vehicle to reach LEO can be either a standard shuttle (7 launches) or the yet-to-be-constructed shuttle-C (3 launches). To go from LEO to GEO we propose to use a system based on the Centaur for our calculations."

Rent Expense Rent is a sum of money an individual or corporate tenant pays a landlord on a periodic basis, such as every month or quarter. Depending on the contractual agreement, the landlord may require that a lessee -- the other name for a tenant -- pay extra cash to cover things like maintenance, insurance, facilities management and security. When a corporate tenant pays rent, a bookkeeper debits the rent expense account and credits the cash account. In an accounting glossary, crediting cash -- an asset account -- means reducing funds in corporate vaults. Reporting As an SG&A; cost, rent is an operating expense because a company uses real property -- such as office buildings and production plants -- to operate, make money and exist commercially.

Since falcons are birds of prey, they are well-known for their incredible hunting skills as well as for being a ruthless and dominant within their environment. They hunt all kinds of small animals such as mice, fish and frogs — they will even catch smaller birds while flying in the air. Because of its large size, great speed and alertness, the falcon has few natural predators.“ Falcon ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Accretion Disc How much does a falcon cost? Before you consider purchasing a falcon, you first need to become what’s known as a falconer, which consists of three stages: apprentice, general and master. When you’re an apprentice, for example, you can only have one bird."

Bird control methods for Grackles, Starlings, and Blackbirds include: Mechanical Devices that disrupt the birds or try to scare them away only work for a few weeks at best. Electric bird barriers will keep Grackles off of roof-lines, and Starlings from nesting on beams, signs, and billboards. Sound Devices and Ultrasonic Devices. Sound devices that you mount near trees or structures are ineffective to get rid of Grackles, Starlings, and Blackbirds for more than a short distance and only for a few weeks or so."

"text": "Photo: USFWSThe Peregrine Falcon was one of the first birds to be placed on California’s Endangered Species List. In 1970, the population in the state was listed at just five pairs. The cause of this dramatic decline was primarily the same as for the bald eagle – ingesting prey contaminated by DDT. The now-banned insecticide greatly weakened the birds' shells, resulting in the eggs being crushed during incubation. Under the protection of the Endangered Species List designation, the Peregrine Falcon has staged a remarkable recovery. Thanks to the combined efforts of combined efforts of dedicated non-profit groups, as well as efforts by state and federal agencies, there are more than 300 active breeding sites in 2008. Following the filing of a petition to delist the Falcon, Audubon California in June of 2008 convened a forum of Peregrine Falcon experts to discuss the issue. Based on this forum, coupled with our own independent analysis, a strong scientific case exists for the delisting of this subspecies. Audubon supports the delisting, provided that subsequent follow-up activities are built into the decision to ensure that population monitoring remains a part of the ongoing peregrine management effort. We will continue to pressure state and federal agencies to monitor the progress of the Peregrine Falcon to ensure that the bird’s progress continues."

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."

If you have MORE questions after reading these, send them by May 3rd to: jn_expert@informns. k12.mn.us From NEW YORK: These are the questions we would like to ask the falcon expert: Mrs. Berger's Class, [email protected] Q. How long does it take a falcon to migrate back to the north, on the average? A. We have never tracked a peregrine falcon during the northward migration. Our fall migration, last fall, was the first time anyone had ever tracked a peregrine falcon during the whole migration, and we saw some of the birds move pretty fast, going up to 200 or 300 miles a day. We are not sure how long it will take for the falcons to migrate back to the north, but, if the batteries last long enough, we will all find out in a few weeks. Q. How far can it glide without flapping its wings? A. This really depends on the winds. Falcons, and other raptors, learn very early in the life how to use winds to make migration easy. If the winds are at their backs, they could go several miles without ever flapping their wings."

Birders can watch the process in real time thanks to the Single Digits live webcam inside the falcons’ skyscraper perch. “The beauty of the camera is that it provides an insider’s view of something we would never get to see in the wild, Martin said. “ But the big picture is the recovery of the Peregrine Falcon, the classification of which has been upgraded from endangered to threatened by NH Fish and Game. ”For now, the eggs are located in a corner of the nest with four visible; a fifth egg may be resting just out of the camera’s view. Four eggs comprise a full nest, or a “full clutch,” and the Manchester pair’s eggs should hatch after they complete a five-week incubation period that – according to Martin’s calculations – will commence on or around May 11.“It’s an incredibly exciting process,” Martin said. “ There’s no guarantee that any of the eggs will hatch, or any way to know how many will survive after they leave the nest. ”After the eggs hatch and the chicks begin to grow, develop and exercise, they’ll hop in and out of the camera’s view, and the team monitoring the camera will switch to a new view facing south over the city (the northern half of downtown Manchester will be visible) to focus on the nest’s ledge and perch pole. For the next six weeks or so, the young birds will wait for food to be delivered by the male and female parents as they gain strength and confidence in their ability to fly. “And then comes the drama of fledging,” Martin said. “"

"text": "\"Birds of Prey ... The Sport of Falconry A falcon is any species of raptor in the genus Falco. The word comes from their Latin name falco, related to Latin falx (\"\"sickle\"\") because of the shape of these birds' wings. The 37 species are widely distributed throughout Europe, Asia, and North America Overview Adult falcons have thin tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and to change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their first year of flying, have longer flight feathers which makes their configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broadwing. This is to make it easier for them to fly while learning the exceptional skills required to be effective hunters as adults. Peregrine Falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 200 miles per hour (322 km/hr), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth. Other falcons include the Gyrfalcon, Lanner Falcon, and the Merlin. Some small falcons with long narrow wings are called hobbies, and some which hover while hunting are called kestrels. The falcons are part of the family Falconidae, which also includes the caracaras, Laughing Falcon, forest falcons, and falconets. The traditional term for a male falcon is tercel (British spelling) or tiercel (American spelling), from Latin tertius = third because of the belief that only one in three eggs hatched a male bird."

She proceeded to tell about her outing in the woods when she encountered not one, but three Falcons upon her path. She felt as though they were trying to communicate with her, and so she turned to me for the meaning of Falcon sightings upon our path. My response is below: Dear Falcon Fan: The Peregrine Falcon lives up to its Latin name: Falco Peregrinus which means foreigner or stranger because it is a migratory bird rather than sedentary – it is found throughout the world and tends to travel great distances. The peregrine is most often used in falconry due to its keen intellect and incredible ability to calculate or judge its prey. The fact that the Falcon revealed itself to you at work makes me believe that the message may relate to your job, profession, craft, vocation, career, passion for work, etc. Throughout history, culture and myth, Falcons symbolize superiority, spirit, light, freedom and aspiration. The Falcon is a solar emblem for success, victory and rising above a situation. Further evidence of its solar influence, the Falcon was symbolic of the rising sun in Egypt.

Source (s):birds manuelyoucallme53 · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment Eagles are generally differentiated by size. The bald eagle has a wingspread of about 6 feet, the golden eagle is larger (sorry, not familiar with eagles outside the U. S.) Most eagles are quite large and their diet can be varied (bald eagles are fishers and scavangers, goldens take small game - and sometimes the babies of larger game). Hawks (and I'm speaking specifically of Buteos) are soaring birds. They will soar and look for game on the ground. They'll hunt, depending on their size and location, snakes, lizards, mice, rabbits, quail, or birds like doves who have landed on the ground to feed. Falcons (accipters) hunt their food in the air and often take birds while in flight although they can also eat lizards and other small animals. They're very agile and fast. From a personality standpoint, hawks are much more easygoing and are not as easily frightened by the appearance of humans as falcons are (in general)."

The fastest one has ever been actually measured, however, is about 87 miles per hour.i do agree but it has been a record that a golden eagle beated the flying record of the falcon and the flying record of the golden eagle was was 320 kmph. The speed at which a falcon can fly depends greatly on the species. The fastest animal for example, is the Peregrine Falcon. It can fly at speeds of 55 mph horizontally, but when flying downwards they reach speeds of over 270 mph. This speed can not be match by any other animal in the world, be it on land, sea or sky.

Inactivity often accompanies advancing age, but it doesn't have to. Check with your local churches or synagogues, senior centers, and shopping malls for exercise and walking programs. Like exercise, your eating habits are often not good if you live and eat alone. It's important for successful aging to eat foods rich in nutrients and avoid the empty calories in candy and sweets. Overweight and Obesity Being overweight or obese increases your chances of dying from hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, dyslipidemia and endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon cancers. In-depth guides and practical advice about obesity are available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Tobacco Tobacco is the single greatest preventable cause of illness and premature death in the U. S. Tobacco use is now called \"\"Tobacco dependence disease.\"\" The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that smokers who try to quit are more successful when they have the support of their physician. Substance Abuse Substance abuse usually means drugs and alcohol."

"text": "10 common elderly health issues Prepare to age successfully with this guide to senior health February 11, 2016Getting older can seem daunting—greying hair, wrinkles, forgetting where you parked the car. All jokes aside, aging can bring about unique health issues. With seniors accounting for 12 percent of the world’s population– and rapidly increasing to over 22 percent by 2050 –it’s important to understand the challenges faced by people as they age, and recognize that there are preventive measures that can place yourself (or a loved one) on a path to healthy aging.1. Chronic health conditions According to the National Council on Aging, about 92 percent of seniors have at least one chronic disease and 77 percent have at least two. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are among the most common and costly chronic health conditions causing two-thirds of deaths each year. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends meeting with a physician for an annual checkup, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping an exercise routine to help manage or prevent chronic diseases. Obesity is a growing problem among older adults and engaging in these lifestyle behaviors can help reduce obesity and associated chronic conditions.2. Cognitive health Cognitive health is focused on a person’s ability to think, learn and remember. The most common cognitive health issue facing the elderly is dementia, the loss of those cognitive functions. Approximately 47.5 million people worldwide have dementia—a number that is predicted to nearly triple in size by 2050."

Injuries are the leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 1 to 44, and for Canadians aged 45 to 64, injuries are the third leading cause of death. 1Moreover, injuries are among the top causes of hospitalizations for Canadians of all ages. 2On average, over 15,000 Canadians are killed and more than 230,000 are hospitalized for serious injuries every year. In fact, every hour, 427 people in Canada suffer a preventable injury as a result of a fall, a motor vehicle crash, a fire, poisoning, drowning, or other activities. Many of those who survive are left with disabilities, both physical and emotional, with preventable injuries resulting in more than 60,000 Canadians either partially or permanently disabled. The cost of injury and all the damage that attaches to it is astronomical. With a $26 billion price tag, injury is a huge issue for all Canadians in societal and health care terms. 3The numbers around the cost of injury to our society on a personal and economic level are clear, yet the neglected epidemic of injury, redefined as a preventable disease, is still not well understood.

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 17, 2017Share Pin Email Print Getty Why do older people fall? Contrary to popular assumption, poor reflexes or tripping may not be to blame, according to groundbreaking research from Simon Fraser University released in 2012. The study, published in The Lancet, is the first to use digital video data from closed-circuit cameras installed in long-term care facilities. The cameras were installed in various common areas like living rooms and hallways of two different nursing homes in British Columbia, with permission from the residents and staff. The aim of the research, according to principal author Stephen Robinovitch, was to determine exactly what precipitated each fall, rather than relying on a questionnaire or so-called self-report after the fact, as previous studies have done. A total of 227 falls among 130 residents were captured on video, and analyzed by Robinovitch’s team at the university’s Injury Prevention and Mobility Laboratory. “This is the first study to collect objective evidence of the cause and circumstances of falls,” Robinovitch says. “ Previous data was collected anecdotally and depended on a person’s memory of what caused them to fall—or witnesses' memories if there were any. We wanted to get video that would act like the black box in an airplane to determine what led to the crash."

Sudden cardiac death is when the heart unexpectedly stops functioning completely and the person dies. It is the main cause of natural death in the USA, causing approximately 325,000 adult deaths in the country every year. Half of all heart deaths are caused by sudden cardiac death. When a person's heart suddenly stops beating (sudden cardiac arrest), they must be treated immediately with CPR or an automated external defibrillator. A person has sleep apnea when they stop breathing for at least ten seconds during their sleep five or more times each hour. The patient typically snores, chokes or gasps during sleep, and wakes up drowsy. In the USA, over 12 million people live with obstructive sleep apnea, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Many sufferers are undiagnosed.

Or does your parent take medication to lower blood pressure? If so, you are probably wondering just what is the right blood pressure (BP) for your older relative, especially given the 2015 publication of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (abbreviated as “SPRINT”) research results. [ Looking for information related to the November 2017 new high blood pressure guidelines? See here: New High Blood Pressure Guidelines Again: What the Cardiology Hypertension Guidelines Mean for Older Adults . ] The SPRINT study first made headlines in September 2015, in part because the findings seemed to contradict the expert hypertension guidelines released in December 2013, which for the first time had proposed a higher goal BP ( a systolic BP of less than 150mm mercury) for most adults aged 60 or older. In particular, SPRINT randomly assigned participants — all of whom were aged 50 or older, and were at high risk for cardiovascular events — to have their systolic blood pressure (that’s the top number) treated to a goal of either 140, or 120. Because the study found that people randomized to a goal of 120 were experiencing better health outcomes, the study was ended early. For those of us who specialize in optimizing the health of older adults, this is obviously an important research development that could change our medical recommendations for certain seniors. But what about for you, or for your older relative?"

Traumatic brain injury may affect a person’s cognitive abilities, including learning and thinking skills. About Symptoms Diagnosis Causes & risks Treatments About Traumatic Brain Injury Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury for all ages. Those aged 75 and older have the highest rates of traumatic brain injury-related hospitalization and death due to falls. Doctors classify traumatic brain injury as mild, moderate or severe, depending on whether the injury causes unconsciousness, how long unconsciousness lasts and the severity of symptoms. Although most traumatic brain injuries are classified as mild because they're not life-threatening, even a mild traumatic brain injury can have serious and long-lasting effects. Traumatic brain injury is a threat to cognitive health in two ways: A traumatic brain injury's direct effects, which may be long-lasting or even permanent, can include unconsciousness, inability to recall the traumatic event, confusion, difficulty learning and remembering new information, trouble speaking coherently, unsteadiness, lack of coordination and problems with vision or hearing.

Sports and recreational activities contribute to about 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries among American children and adolescents. Traumatic Brain Injury A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the extent of damage to the brain. Mild cases (mild traumatic brain injury, or m TBI) may result in a brief change in mental state or consciousness, while severe cases may result in extended periods of unconsciousness, coma or even death. The 4th International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Zurich, Switzerland in 2012 defined concussion, a subset of m TBI, as the following: Concussion is the historical term representing low velocity injuries that cause brain ‘shaking’ resulting in clinical symptoms and that are not necessarily related to a pathological injury. Concussion is a subset of TBI and will be the term used in this document. It was also noted that the term commotio cerebri is often used in European and other countries.

The ONS said 11.6% of deaths in England and Wales in 2015 were attributable to Alzheimer’s or dementia. Photograph: Alamy Stock Photo Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias have replaced ischaemic heart disease as the leading cause of death in England and Wales for the first time. Last year, 61,686 (11.6%) out of a total of 529,655 deaths registered in England and Wales were attributable to dementia, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The statisticians said an ageing population, better diagnosis, and lifestyle and treatment advances with respect to other illnesses were among the factors that had pushed dementia to the top of the list. The mortality rate for dementia, which was the second leading cause of death for the previous four years, has more than doubled since 2010, while that of ischaemic heart disease declined sharply over the same period. Martina Kane, senior policy officer at Alzheimer’s Society, said: “Today’s news that dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are the leading cause of death in England and Wales is a stark reminder that dementia remains a growing concern across the country. While the news represents improvements in diagnosis rates, general awareness and the accuracy of reporting, it also reflects that there are rising numbers of people with dementia. “While there remains no cure for the condition, everyone who develops it will sadly still have the disease when they die. It is therefore essential that people have access to the right support and services to help them live well with dementia and that research into better care, treatments and eventually a cure remain high on the agenda."

It’s estimated that 20 to 40 percent of seniors over 65 who live at home experience falls. A fall in an elderly person can greatly impact their life – especially, if the individual lives alone or there is no one else around. With weaker bones a fall can very well lead to bone fractures, which are much harder to heal the older and individual is. The recovery period may also result in bed rest, which can worsen pre-existing illnesses or lead to isolation and depression. Falls caused by vertigo, dizziness and imbalance can lead to immediate injury, like cuts, bruises or even fractures, head traumas and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). All of these factors can limit a person’s abilities and create challenges on a daily basis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that death due to falls among the elderly is on the incline; in 2013 it was recorded that 25,500 seniors died from unintentional fall injuries. Men are 40 percent more likely to die due to a fall, and senior Caucasians are more likely to die from a fall than elderly African-Americans. It’s important that seniors prevent falls as it can lead to serious injury and even death."

The guideline recommends moderate- or high-intensity statin therapy for the four groups of patients for whom it has determined cholesterol-lowering HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors, or statins, have the greatest chance of preventing stroke and heart attacks. : The groups are as follows:• Patients who have cardiovascular disease; • Patients with an LDL, or “bad” cholesterol level of 190 mg/d L or higher; • Patients with Type 2 diabetes who are between 40 and 75 years of age; and • Patients with an estimated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease of 7.5 percent or higher who are between 40 and 75 years of age (the report provides formulas for calculating 10-year risk). In terms of clinical practice, physicians can use risk assessment tools in some cases to determine which patients would most likely benefit from statin therapy, rather than focusing only on blood cholesterol to determine which patients would benefit. About those age 75 and older In the report, the panel said the following:“Fewer people >75 years of age were included in the statin RCTs (randomized controlled trials) reviewed. RCT evidence does support the continuation of statins beyond 75 years of age in persons who are already taking and tolerating these drugs.

To “die of old age” means that someone has died naturally from an ailment associated with aging. The same usually goes for “dying of natural causes. ”Traditionally, government health authorities have required resident’s causes of death to be listed on death certificates. So, sometimes when an elderly person passed peacefully and not altogether unexpectedly, coroners would simply declare that the deceased had died of “natural causes” or even “old age.” In these cases, there was always a more specific cause of death, but it may not have been determined or thought to be worth mentioning.

However, falling is not an inevitable result of aging. Through practical lifestyle adjustments, evidence-based falls prevention programs, and clinical-community partnerships, the number of falls among seniors can be substantially reduced. The Challenge According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: One in four Americans aged 65+ falls each year. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults. Falls result in more than 2.8 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations and more than 27,000 deaths. In 2014, the total cost of fall injuries was $31 billion. The financial toll for older adult falls is expected to increase as the population ages and may reach $67.7 billion by 2020."

The flattened appearance of the seeds gave the beans their other common name: broad beans. Other names for the fava bean include, horse bean, field bean, pigeon bean, “tick bean, as well as English or Windsor beans. Although they are not technically beans, favas are closely related to the vetch legume. The best time to plant this crop depends on the climate zone in which you live. Fava Bean Basics The fava bean is an annual, bush-like plant. This plant lends itself to raised bed or container growing, although you must be careful that the plant does not become stunted, should it outgrow its container. Fava beans need approximately four to five months between planting and harvest. Before producing seed pods, the plant displays small white flowers with brown specks. Sow the seeds at least 1 inch deep in fertile, loose, well-draining soil, in an area of full sun, and space the plants four to five inches apart."

Also known as broad beans, fava beans are pretty amazing given the amount of nutrition they contain. In addition to being a lean protein choice with lots of fiber, fava beans contain vitamin K, vitamin B6, zinc, copper, iron, magnesium and more. If that isn’t enough, they’re also some of the top high-folate foods around. You gain 177 micrograms of folate in just one cup of cooked fava beans. Folate is useful for energy metabolism, support of the nervous system and healthy red blood cells, and naturally a good fit for moms-to-be. And that’s not all. Some studies show a decreased risk of heart disease, cancer and depression for those who consume foods with such nutrient density as is found in fava beans. ( 1)Benefits of Fava Beans1. May Reduce Risk of Birth Defects While folate is great for providing energy, it’s been long known as an important nutrient for pregnant women as well."

"text": "\"Fall & Winter Vegetable Planting Guide Fall and Winter gardening, although an old practice, is an excellent solution for keeping the tilth and fertility of your garden's soil at its peak levels. At the same time it yields crops of delicious vegetables throughout the fall and winter that cost a fraction of produce purchased in the supermarket. When it comes to vegetable and flower gardening, the climatic patterns of the lower elevation areas west of the Cascade Mountains in Washington, Oregon, Northwestern California, and British Columbia are quite suitable for Fall & Winter gardening. Winter low temperatures range from 35o F. to 45o F. with occasional cold continental arctic air outbreaks lowering it to +20o F. to 0o F. or so. The garden soil can freeze 3 or 4 inches deep for short periods, but the usual winters are not severe enough to damage carefully mulched winter vegetable plants. Many southern areas of the U. S. are actually more suited to winter crops, while some northern regions have to rely on cold frames, hot beds, or greenhouses. The key to successful winter gardening is knowing the average date of the first killing frost in your region (for example late October in the Pacific Northwest). You then plant your winter crops early enough to let them reach their full maturity before that killing frost. Local garden authorities can give you information about the timing of first frosts and the hardiness of various crops for your area. The planting suggestions in this booklet are based on a late October first freeze."

Fava beans are broad green legumes that grow in long pods and are popular in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Fava beans are almost always removed from the pods before preparing them, although it is possible to braise whole fava bean pods. Fava beans are notoriously time-consuming to prepare because of the shelling process. Removing the beans from the pods is easy enough. But each individual bean also is enclosed in a shell. Removing the fava beans from their shells requires blanching them first. Fava beans are used in a number of different recipes and can be prepared using a variety of cooking techniques. They are frequently braised and used in stews, and can also be sautéed, or marinated and served in salads. Fava beans can be used as the main ingredient in puréed soups."

"text": "Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern food that is made with spiced chickpeas and fava beans that are ground into a paste, formed into balls, and then fried. The resulting patties are typically rolled up in a flatbread like pita and topped with a tangy sauce. Many people associate falafel with street food, since it is a common street offering in regions with large Middle Eastern communities; it is also possible to find it in delis or to make it at home. Different regions of the Middle East use varying ratios of chickpeas to fava beans. In some regions, one legume exclusively is used; in Egypt, for example, falafel is made with fava beans only. The spicing typically includes onion, garlic, minced parsley, cumin, and coriander. Some cooks also add diced chilies to the mixture to make it more spicy. Flour or egg may be mixed in as well to act as a binding agent so that the falafels do not fall apart when fried. Tahini and yogurt based sauces are both used to dress falafel. When the sauce is made with tahini, it is typically very simple, with just tahini, lemon, and water."

"text": "Fava beans are a centuries-old, archetypal “fast food” that used to be eaten in the fields, sustaining men and women working up to twelve hours in rugged conditions, keeping them going until the long-awaited evening supper. In recent years, this dormant habit from bygone eras has been revived in the finest Parisian and New York restaurants. But whether cacio e fave are served up in nouvelle cuisine or enjoyed around the kitchen table with friends—this is a marriage that everyone approves. During the so-called Italian “boom” period—the industrial explosion of the 1960s and the decades that followed—fave and other staples of the Italian diet, such as lentils, beans, polenta and whole wheat, all but disappeared from the table. Throughout provincial Italy, there was a kind of tacit agreement to reject food that was associated with war times or the food of the rural classes. But, thanks to progressive movements in Italian gastronomy that have worked to re-educate Italian consumers and encourage healthy, ecological food production and eating habits, there has been a comeback in recent years of many wholesome, natural foods. Fava beans, which have extraordinary nutritional qualities, are just one of many foods that have been rediscovered and adapted to contemporary Italian life. History of Fava Beans These green legumes were most likely first grown in Neolithic times, about 6000 years ago, probably in Persia and Egypt; traces of fava beans have been found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs. Over the centuries, these beans—along with other legumes such as chickpeas and lentils—became a major part of the Mediterranean diet. Today, fava beans, which flourish in warm weather, are consumed in most of the world’s temperate regions."

Freshly picked Broad Beans I t is a special moment when you harvest your first broad beans of the summer - these ones were put into the ground months ago, back in November just before the winter set in and when the days were a little chillier than they are now. Broad Beans are also known as Fava Beans, and as I did not grow up eating these, I was somewhat confused about how to cook them and even more importantly, whether to shell the beans or not. Unlike the Mangetout (Snow Peas) that I have grown which can be eaten pea and pod and all, broad beans come in giant pods which when split open, reveal up to six or seven beans within, which also come in their own pale green outer casing. Broad bean pod with young beans within Now, I have learnt that they can be eaten both ways, either with their shells on or skinned. For freshly picked beans that are of a small size, they can be eaten unpeeled. The simplest way to prepare them is to boil the beans with skins intact, and serve simply with a little butter, salt and pepper (and obligatory glass of white wine!). You can also add herbs and lemon juice, of course. Or try some of these recipes for unskinned fava beans. Unshelled Broad beans as a starter For larger beans, you will probably want to shell the beans as the skin can tough and leathery. The easiest way to do this, is to boil the beans for about 3 minutes, and then to squeeze the bean out of its casing using your fingers."

Further, wild amaranths are common in most areas worldwide. Individual heads can be bagged to allow growing several varieties in proximity or to ensure that wild plants don't cross the plants you're growing. From ½ mile (green amaranths) to two miles (grain amaranths) are needed for reliable distance isolation. Grain amaranths may need support to keep the plants from falling over as they mature because of their large, heavy seed heads. Collect the seed heads as they dry on the plants and store in closed paper bags to finish drying (many of the seeds will shed naturally). Don't let the seed heads get wet after they dry. Chaff easily blows away after seed heads are crumbled—watch for thorns or prickles in some plants!If germination is slow, lightly stir the soil's surface... amaranth seeds need some sunlight after a period of darkness to germinate."

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

Although they are commonly called fava beans, broad beans can go by different names in different countries. The broad bean known as either Windsor or straight bean (subspecies faba var. major) is the one most westerners know and grow. The tick or pigeon bean (subspecies faba var. minor ) is more popular in Arab countries and the horse bean (subspecies faba var. equina) is used as horse feed.

The pods grow on vines and unlike snow and sugar snap peas are too fibrous to be edible. Pods must be shelled first by snapping off the end and pulling the fibrous string along the length of the pod. Each pod contains five to eight emerald hued peas. Peas have a tender yet slightly crunchy texture and a sweet pea flavor. For best flavor prepare or freeze peas soon after they are harvested, the high sugar content of the peas begin to convert to starch as soon as the peas are picked from the vine.

In North America, it seems we get the most pleasure from refined carbohydrates, vegetable oil, and diet pop to name a few. Refined carbs – empty-calorie foods – may make us feel good, but because the brain seeks micronutrients and empty-calorie foods like white bread, pasta, cake and cookies don’t provide these micronutrients, the “eat more” signal typically stays on.

S. consumer protection agencies, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) protects the public from unsafe foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and other potential hazards. As part of the department of health and human services, the FDA annually regulates over $1 trillion worth of products, which account for one-fourth of all consumer spending in the United States. It also protects the rights and safety of patients in clinical trials of new medical products, monitors the promotional activities of drug and device manufacturers, regulates the labeling of all packaged foods, and monitors the safety of the nation's blood supply. To ensure compliance with its regulations, the FDA employs over 1,000 investigators and inspectors who visit over 15,000 food-processing, drug-manufacturing, and other facilities each year. If it finds violations of law, the FDA first encourages an offending company to voluntarily correct the problem or to recall a faulty product from the market. If the firm does not voluntarily comply with the law, the FDA may take it to court and seek criminal penalties against it. The FDA may also seize faulty products, order product recalls, seek injunctive relief, impose fines, and take other types of enforcement action. Each year, the FDA declares about 3,000 products and 30,000 import shipments to be unacceptable in various ways. The FDA employs over 2,000 scientists—including 900 chemists and 300 microbiologists—who provide the scientific evidence to back up its regulatory and inspection duties. These scientists analyze samples of products for purity and review test results of new products."

"text": "Building a Health App? Part 3: What You Need to Know About FDA’s Regulation of Mobile Apps By Jordan Cohen & Benjamin Zegarelli on October 3, 2017Posted in Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Medical Devices, Mobile Health This is our third installment in our series about the legal issues involved in launching a health app, which the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) refers to as “mobile apps.” The goal of this post is to provide you with a basic understanding of FDA’s evolving approach to mobile apps so that you can make informed decisions about the legal consequences of your app’s functionality. Back to Basics Anyone involved in the development of a mobile health app should keep handy the FDA definition of a “medical device,” which Section 201 (h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, defines as:“… an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including any component, part, or accessory, which is …intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals…”There is no exception in this definition for mobile apps, and as we will see below, FDA believes it is within its authority to regulate mobile apps as medical devices. We can therefore extract from the definition of medical device a general principle that developers should keep in mind: If a mobile app is intended for use in performing a medical device function (i.e., for diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease) it is a medical device and therefore subject to FDA oversight. ”This is true regardless of the platform. Health apps running on i OS, Android, or any other platform can trigger FDA oversight. The reality is that thousands of mobile apps made available on the various app stores are, in fact, mobile medical apps that are turning their users’ phones into medical devices that must comply with FDA regulations. Risk-Based Regulatory Classification Medical devices, including mobile apps, are classified into the following three categories based on their risk profile: Class I (general controls; lowest risk);Class II (special & general controls); and Class III (premarket approval; highest risk). The classifications and controls necessary for many Class I, II, and III devices are described in regulations that are specific to each device type."

"text": "\"| Share Regulation of the U. S. Food Processing Sector The U. S. food processing sector is extensively regulated by state and federal agencies. Federal agencies dominate the regulatory oversight: USDA FSIS for the meat and poultry processing businesses and FDA for all other food processing businesses. State agencies also have an active role in overseeing food processing businesses within their respective states, but their role is in collaboration with the federal agencies.. This web page provides numerous links to regulations, statutes, FDA guidance documents, USDA FSIS fact sheets, and other reference materials. Students and other readers are strongly urged to take the time to visit and study these related sites. They provide the majority of insights that underpin the introductory explanation offered on this page.. Regulation of Processing Sector When Congress first addressed food safety issues, it focused on the food processing sector, such as the meat processing industry (see the Meat Inspection Act of 1906). At that time, Congress defined \"\"adulterated\"\" and \"\"misbranded\"\" food, and prohibited those foods from being sold. Congress also required that meat processing be continuously inspected. Since that time, Congress has refined government oversight of the food processing sector. This page introduces a variety of legal topics that pertain to the food processing sector. Recall that the U. S. food industry can be described as consisting of five sectors based on U. S. food law."

"text": "\"Who Inspects What? A Food Safety Scramble By Gretchen Goetz | December 16, 2010Two government agencies, the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, share most of the responsibility of food safety inspection. The rules that determine which agency is responsible for which food can be complex, and sometimes the division of labor defies categorization altogether. Take eggs, for example. The FDA inspects shelled eggs, while the USDA is responsible for egg products, including liquid, frozen and dehydrated eggs. The FDA regulates the feed chickens eat, but the laying facility falls under USDA jurisdiction. If it sounds confusing, that’s because it is. This year’s investigation into the Salmonella outbreak in Iowa eggs was complicated by the fact that the USDA was responsible for the pile of manure next to the laying facility, but the FDA was accountable for the danger of the eggs themselves. “Eggs–that part of the food safety inspection system is very ‘scrambled,’ ” says Dr. Richard Raymond, former Under Secretary for Food Safety for the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the USDA’s enforcement arm. Technically, the USDA is responsible for the safety of meat, poultry and egg products, while the FDA regulates all other foods, Raymond explains."

"text": "Testimony The Role of Congress in Monitoring Administrative Rulemaking By Jerry Taylor September 12, 1996Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law Committee on the Judiciary The United States Congress Introduction (This testimony draws heavily from material prepared by David Schoenbrod and Gene Healy for a forthcoming Cato Institute Policy Analysis. ) In 1995 the 104th Congress attempted to deal with our $500 billion regulatory burden by regulating the regulators. Senate Bill 343, the Dole-Johnston Regulatory Reform Bill, would have grafted a new web of rules—mandating cost-benefit analysis and scientific risk- assessment—onto the impenetrably dense administrative structure that already exists. Giving regulatory agencies a dose of their own medicine is a laudable idea, but it will not solve our current dilemma. Indeed, by focusing chiefly on the monetary costs imposed by the current regulatory regime, congressional reformers have misconstrued the nature of the threat that regime poses. Instead of reinventing the regulatory state, Congress should take back its power to make the law. Since the New Deal, Congress has ceded more and more of its legislative authority to executive branch agencies. This delegation of lawmaking power is ill advised and illegitimate, for several reasons: Delegation violates the Constitution, subverting the central structural principle of that document: the separation of powers. Delegation severs the people from the law, undermining democracy by allowing vitally important decisions of governance to be made by unelected, unaccountable officials. Delegation is a political shell game, allowing legislators to simultaneously support the benefits and oppose the costs of regulation."

What is an Institutional Review Board (IRB)? Under FDA regulations, an IRB is an appropriately constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects. In accordance with FDA regulations, an IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications in (to secure approval), or disapprove research. This group review serves an important role in the protection of the rights and welfare of human research subjects. The purpose of IRB review is to assure, both in advance and by periodic review, that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in the research. To accomplish this purpose, IRBs use a group process to review research protocols and related materials (e.g., informed consent documents and investigator brochures) to ensure protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects of research.2."

Americans enjoy a lower quality of life and health than people in most other high-income nations. So you would think it would be a national priority to make sure that there are no suspicious chemical culprits hiding in our food. Not so, according to a new analysis by scientists at Pew Charitable Trusts, published today in Reproductive Toxicology . Pew’s analysis shows that policymakers and regulators pay far too little attention to the alphabet soup of additives in American packaged foods. Most of us assume these chemical additives—the ones that food processers employ to decrease cost, enhance taste, add color and lengthen shelf life—are safe. Although federal laws and regulations say that chemical additives cannot be used in food until determined to be safe, Pew scientists found that 54 percent of the chemicals added to food have never undergone the most basic safety tests recommended by the federal Food and Drug Administration. Pew’s analysis revealed that the type of testing recommended by the FDA has not been done on 88 percent of chemicals of “elevated concern” for reproductive and developmental toxicity. Pew scientists diplomatically call the additive industry’s failure to test its products thoroughly “knowledge gaps.”"

[ 1] For this reason, the safety and effectiveness of tampons is a health issue of vital importance for all women. Manufacturers, consumers and the federal government each have played a critical role in creating the law that regulates tampons in the United States today. This paper examines the regulation of menstrual tampons in the United States from their introduction to the market some twenty five years ago to the standards that govern them in the twenty first century. After a brief replay of the introduction of the tampon into the US, this paper discusses the background regulatory scheme for such a medical device. Next, this paper traces the development of the federal rules regulating tampons and tampon packaging, as well as the battles fought in courts of law to accomplish this goal. Finally, topics related to tampon regulation are explored, including the debate over tampon ingredient labeling and the preemption of state law by the federal regulation of tampons. The Development of Tampons by Manufacturers While menstrual tampons had been marketed throughout Western Europe since the late 1930s, they were not introduced to the Un ited States until decades later.

Bergogne-Berezin, Participant, Symposium on Antibiotic Resistance University of Southampton (July 12, 1996)INTRODUCTIONIn the early 1970s, the seemingly banal and nondescript matter of the subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal feed ignited a contentious debate in policy circles. For three decades now, this issue has periodically surfaced and resubmerged, each time provoking a heated but ultimately unresolved debate regarding the appropriate FDA regulation of the issue. FDA has on several instances taken initial action to find itself quickly restrained either by Congress or by its own ambiguous feelings on the issue. Today, different branches of the Public Health Service, the CDC and the FDA, hold strongly divergent views on this issue and even the Center for Veterinary Medicine, the Division of the FDA responsible for regulating the manufacture and distribution of animal feed additives, appears to house a range of opinion. See infra pp. 13-20. Subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal feed, as opposed to therapeutic or disease-treating use, enhances efficiency of livestock production by promoting growth. Specifically, through an unknown mechanism, an animal on subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics will, on a lesser quantity of feed, gain an equal amount of weight as an untreated animal."

Key Points: In addition to the Privacy Rule, State and other Federal laws and regulations, such as HHS regulations for protecting human subjects, continue to govern research when applicable. State Laws and Regulations In general, the Privacy Rule overrides (or preempts) State laws relating to the privacy of health information that are contrary to the Rule. Any provision of State law that is not contrary to a provision of the Privacy Rule will remain in full force and effect, so that covered entities will continue to have to follow such State laws in addition to the Privacy Rule. However, even where a State law is contrary to the Privacy Rule, there are certain exceptions where the Privacy Rule will not override the contrary State law. For example, State laws that relate to the privacy of individually identifiable health information and are both contrary to and more stringent than the Privacy Rule will continue to stand. In addition, contrary laws and procedures established under State law that provide for reporting of disease or injury, child abuse, birth or death, or for conducting public health surveillance, investigation, and intervention also are not overridden by the Privacy Rule.

Monies used for these eligible expenses are excludable from gross income subject to federal taxes. Many states also exclude these monies from state and local taxes. Established in 1993 as part of the federal tax code section 132 (f), [4] commuter benefits were meant to provide tax incentives to employees to encourage their use of mass transportation, with the goal of reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality."

"text": "Total Amount of Coverage IRC section 79 provides an exclusion for the first $50,000 of group-term life insurance coverage provided under a policy carried directly or indirectly by an employer. There are no tax consequences if the total amount of such policies does not exceed $50,000. The imputed cost of coverage in excess of $50,000 must be included in income, using the IRS Premium Table, and are subject to social security and Medicare taxes. Carried Directly or Indirectly by the Employer A taxable fringe benefit arises if coverage exceeds $50,000 and the policy is considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer. A policy is considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer if: The employer pays any cost of the life insurance, or The employer arranges for the premium payments and the premiums paid by at least one employee subsidize those paid by at least one other employee (the “straddle” rule). The determination of whether the premium charges straddle the costs is based on the IRS Premium Table rates, not the actual cost. You can view the Premium Table in the group-term life insurance discussion in Publication 15-B. Because the employer is affecting the premium cost through its subsidizing and/or redistributing role, there is a benefit to employees. This benefit is taxable even if the employees are paying the full cost they are charged. You must calculate the taxable portion of the premiums for coverage that exceeds $50,000. Not Carried Directly or Indirectly by the Employer A policy that is not considered carried directly or indirectly by the employer has no tax consequences to the employee."

Employees save on federal income taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by the President on December 22, 2017 did make changes to Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits. Employers may still provide tax-free qualified transportation fringe benefits to employees for parking, transit and commuter highway vehicles. In addition, an employer cannot deduct the expenses for providing tax-free qualified transportation fringe benefits. On the other hand, if an employer treats the transportation fringe benefits as taxable W-2 wages to the employee, the employer can deduct the expenses of providing those benefits.

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

Pursuant to the Notice, for tax years after 2009, employee use of cell phones and other similar telecommunications equipment (such as PDAs, Black Berrys, smart phones, and the like) and their related calling/data plans (collectively referred to as \"\"cell phones\"\" in this Law Flash) provided primarily for \"\"non-compensatory business purposes\"\" is treated as follows:1. The business use is excludable from the employee's income as a working condition fringe benefit.2. Any personal use is excludable as a de minimis fringe benefit. Neither the business or personal use is subject to recordkeeping. The IRS also released a Field Exam Memorandum (Control No. SBSE-04-0911-083) to its examiners regarding the proper treatment of employer reimbursements for personal cell phone usage, described below. Background The Notice was issued in response to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (SBJA), which removed cell phones and \"\"other similar telecommunications equipment\"\" from the \"\"listed property\"\" provisions of Code section 274 (d). ( Notably, the legislative history of the SBJA specifically includes both cell phones and Black Berrys.) The delisting of cell phones by the SBJA relieved employers of the onerous recordkeeping requirements that normally apply to listed property, but it did not go so far as to eliminate the recordkeeping required to prove business use.

In the following FAQs, we answer questions most often asked by employers regarding fringe benefits, often considered compensation beyond the employee's normal wages. What are Fringe Benefits? Fringe benefits for employees can take the form of property, services, cash, or some cash equivalent (something that can be turned into cash, such as a gift card or savings bonds). Generally speaking, fringe benefits are taxable to the employee and must be included as supplemental income on the employee's W-2 form. These fringe benefits are also generally subject to withholding and employment taxes. What are the Potential Advantages of Offering Fringe Benefits to Employees? For many small businesses, offering fringe benefits may be a way to differentiate themselves from the competition and to attract and retain new employees. At the same time, employers who choose to offer such benefits need to be aware of federal (and state if applicable) income tax withholding requirements. These benefits are considered taxable income unless specifically excluded by current tax laws."

Compensation Generally, tax laws apply to firefighters in the same manner as for other types of workers. It does not matter whether firefighters are termed “volunteers”, are considered employees, or are identified by any other name, if the work they do is subject to the will and control of the payer, under the common-law rules, they are employees for Federal tax purposes. The determination as to whether workers are common-law employees or independent contractors is made applying the same standards used for other workers. See IRS Publication 15, Employer’s Tax Guide, for more information on determining whether a worker is a common-law employee. Similarly, it does not matter whether they are paid on a “call” basis, monthly, hourly, etc. ; or whether the worker is full-time or part-time. These payments are wages that should be reported on Form W-2, subject to withholding for Federal income tax, social security, and Medicare purposes. Employers are responsible for withholding on these wages and filing Form 941. If a worker is a common-law employee, any amounts received that are not exempt under a special provision, are reported on Form W-2 as wages."

HOW IT WORKS The Federal tax code allows the use of tax-free dollars to pay for transit commuting and parking costs through employer-sponsored programs. Commuter tax benefits are regulated by the Internal Revenue Code, Section 132 (f)—Qualified Transportation Fringe. For the 2016 taxable year, the tax code allows tax-free transportation fringe benefits of up to $255 per month per employee for transit expenses and up to $255 per month for qualified parking (including parking at BART stations.) Qualified parking is defined as parking at or near an employer's worksite, or at a facility from which employee commutes via transit, vanpool or carpool). Commuters can receive both the transit and parking benefits. Companies can offer: A tax-free employer-paid subsidy A pre-tax employee-paid payroll deduction A combination of both of the above. Note: Bay Area employers with 50 or more employees are now required to register and offer commuter benefits to their employees in order to comply with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program.

Some of these benefits, such as workers' compensation, social security, and unemployment insurance, are required by law. The majority of benefits offered to employees, however, are bestowed at the discretion of the business owner. Such benefits, which are commonly called \"\"fringe\"\" benefits, range from such major expenditures as paid holidays, health insurance, paid vacations, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), and profit sharing to more modest \"\"extras\"\" like bestowing performance awards and prizes, providing an employee lunchroom, or paying for a company picnic. Employee benefits are an indirect means of compensating workers, but they can be quite important in fostering economic security and stability within the work force. Insurance coverage, for instance, is often terribly expensive, so the company that offers medical and/or life insurance to employees as part of its benefits package is bestowing significant savings on those employees and their families. Companies, however, must be careful when putting together a compensation package for their work forces, and prudence is especially important for the small business owner. As Irving Burstiner remarked in 1989 in The Small Business Handbook, \"\"all the 'extras' that firms have added to the basic compensation of their employees over the years amount to a sizable cost factor today.\"\" Noting that financial 'fringe benefits' can often add up to a startling amount of money, Burstiner added that \"\"small firms are cautioned against adopting these fringe benefits too quickly and too freely. Some are almost mandatory if an organization is to compete effectively for personnel against other firms in the industry."

A qualified tuition reduction is tax-free only if it is for education below the graduate level, with an exception for graduate students engaged in teaching or research at the university. The term does not include a reduction that represents payment for services. Tax-free tuition reduction is also available to a former employee who retired or left on disability; a widow or widower of an individual who died while an employee, a widow or widower of a former employee who retired or left on disability, or a dependent child or spouse of an employee or any of the above. See 26 USC § 152 for IRS definition of dependent. Basically, this covers a child or stepchild who received over half of their support from the taxpayer.

"text": "August 2005 Volume 1 Number 12Federal Tax Issues Related to Professional Courtesy and Cafeteria Discounts by Joy Bode, Mike Watson and J. A. (“Tony”) Patterson, Jr., Fulbright & Jaworski, L. L. P. Historically, many hospitals have provided discounts on medical services (“professional courtesy discounts”), and cafeteria meals (“cafeteria discounts”) to non-employee physicians on the hospital’s medical staff (“staff physicians”). Some time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, for various reasons, hospitals began discontinuing professional courtesy and cafeteria discounts. One of the driving forces in this change was the enactment of the Stark Law restrictions on physician self-referrals, which affected for-profit and tax-exempt hospitals and hospital systems alike (42 U. S. C. § 1395nn). During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) also weighed in on the topic of professional courtesy and cafeteria discounts with respect to tax-exempt hospitals and hospital systems. During the course of IRS audits of these exempt organizations ( “EOs”), the IRS often raised concerns about the taxability of discounts provided to physicians and the effect of such discounts on the EO’s tax-exempt status. Many of these EOs were forced as part of their settlements with the IRS to discontinue providing discounts to staff physicians. In addition, the IRS often required the EO to send Forms 1099 to physicians who received discounts during a number of previous years, treating such discounts as income. As a result of these audits, many, if not most, EOs discontinued providing cafeteria and professional courtesy discounts to staff physicians. The Stark Law regulations issued March 26, 2004, include an exception that allow hospitals to provide professional courtesy discounts to staff physicians under certain circumstances (69 Fed. Reg."

"text": "\"Certain Employee Benefit Payments Are Tax Deductible You can generally deduct the cost of providing employee compensation and benefits as a business expense. If you have employees, you are undoubtedly aware that you can claim a business expense deduction for the wages and salaries that you pay them. However, you may not be aware that other benefits that you provide can be deducted. For example, if you give your employees a discount on the cost of your goods or services, or if you provide paid holidays or vacations, then you have provided a deductible benefit. Employee Benefits Can Be Taxable or Nontaxable The deductibility of an expense by the employer is a different issue than the taxability of the benefit to the employees. ( And in some cases, the cost to the employer and the value to the employee are not the same, at least in the eyes of the IRS. ) Some types of benefits are not taxable for payroll tax purposes. These benefits are not taxable to the employee for FICA or income tax withholding purposes, and they are not taxable to you for FICA or FUTA tax purposes. Common examples of this type of benefit are health insurance, qualified retirement plan contributions, and group-term life insurance up to $50,000.

"text": "\"Submitted by alanna.crawford... on Wed, 2011-09-07 12:51Forums: IRA Discussion Forum An IRA is held in a managed account and the account is subject to an investment management fee. If these fees are paid by the IRA owner with assets outside of the IRA, it is my understanding that the portion of fees related to investment advice is deductible as a misc itemized deductions under Sec 212. However if this fee includes any trading costs, that portion of the fee would not be deductible, and paying them with non- IRA assets would be considered a contribution. There is also the opinion that because this is not a taxable account, the fees are not deductible at all. Can you please comment on whether the fees can be paid with non-IRA assets and how they may be deductible? Re: Paying IRA Fees Submitted by alan-oniras@yah... on Wed, 2011-09-07 15:49A fee based on a % of the account value is known as a wrap fee and the fee includes all expenses including commissions. Under PLR 2005-07021 the IRS ruled that these fees for an IRA account paid with outside funds are not considered a contribution to the IRA. It has been assumed that this also means that the entire fee is deductible as a misc deduction subject to 2% of AGI floor, and the IRS has not questioned this deduction. Now if the fees are not based on a % of the account balance, ie NOT a wrap fee, then any investment management fees, but not commissions attributed to the IRA, may still be deducted subject to the interpretation of whether the account produces taxable income. The IRS has not defined when the income must be produced, but it seems logical to exclude the deduction once a Roth IRA becomes qualified because it cannot produce any taxable income after that."

"text": "We've all heard the warnings and are well aware that we should save more for retirement. And as a new year approaches, it’s a good time to resolve to take concrete steps to do just that. Uncle Sam wants you to save for retirement so much that the federal government has created a number of tax-advantaged retirement accounts, including popular choices such as the 401 (k) and individual retirement account. For most people, especially young people, the best place to start is with the 401 (k) program at work. This is a particularly enticing option if your employer matches a portion of your contribution. That’s essentially free money. “If you’re working at a company that offers a 401 (k) and they match contributions, you should really save in that plan,” says Wei-Yin Hu, vice president of financial research at Financial Engines, an independent investment advisory firm in Sunnyvale, California. “ It’s a great way to get a really good head start on building your retirement savings. ”If you’re self-employed, you have even more options, some of which allow significant tax savings. Exactly which option, or combination of options, is best depends on your personal financial situation. “"

Learn More!Deducting Financial Planning And Retainer Fees, And The (Tax) Problem With Bundled AUM Fees May 20, 2015 07:01 am 24 Comments CATEGORY: Taxes110Shares A A A110Shares Executive Summary Under the Internal Revenue Code, expenses for investment management are tax deductible. Accordingly, taxpayers are permitted to deduct the typical assets-under-management (AUM) fee of an investment manager. However, financial planning fees not specifically attributable to investment management (or tax planning) are non-deductible, treated instead as a personal expense. With the rise of wealth management, though, it is increasingly common for consumers to pay a single “bundled” AUM fee, that covers not only (deductible) investment management services, but also (non-deductible) financial planning as well. Which means technically, those clients should probably only be deducting a portion of the AUM fee, not the entire amount – at least, where the AUM fee covers a “material” amount of financial planning services. And the issue is especially concerning when it comes to retirement accounts like IRAs, where paying a personal financial planning fee with retirement assets could trigger a (taxable) deemed distribution, or at worst disqualify the entire IRA as a prohibited transaction!Ultimately, the easiest solution to the problem – at least from a tax perspective – is simply to unbundle the financial planning and investment management fees. And in fact, unbundling is now required under new IRS regulations when it comes to the investment management vs administration and other fees for estates and trusts. Yet for some firms, unbundling fees can present other business challenges about communicating the value of their services. Fortunately, the issue may not receive scrutiny anytime soon, given that many advisory firms with bundled fees are still charging the same as investment-only firms (implying the financial planning fees may not be “material” from a tax perspective)."

"text": "\"« Advisor Insights What's the difference between an individual retirement account (IRA) and an annuity? Share Annuities, IRAs Answers Sort By: Most Helpful July 2014+ Follow Investopedia New York, NYwww.investopedia.com93 % of people found this answer helpful Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and annuities both provide the opportunity to grow money on a tax-deferred basis, but there are differences between the two. An IRA can be thought of as an individual savings account with tax benefits. You open an IRA for yourself (that's why it's called an individual retirement account) and if you have a spouse, you'll have to open separate accounts . An important distinction to make is that an IRA is not an investment itself; rather, it is an account where you keep investments such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds. You get to choose the investments in the account, and can change the investments if you wish. Your return depends on the performance of the investments held in the IRA. An IRA continues to accumulate contributions and interest until you reach retirement age, meaning you could have an IRA for decades before making any withdrawals. IRAs are defined and regulated by the IRS, which sets eligibility requirements, limits on how and when you can make contributions, take distributions, and determines the tax treatment for various the various types of IRAs. For example, for 2014 the maximum you can contribute to your traditional or Roth IRA is the smaller of $5,500 ($6,500 if you're age 50 or older) or your taxable income for the year."

"text": "Contributing to retirement accounts allows you to build wealth, capture valuable employer contributions and qualify for tax breaks, all at the same time. But few savers are able to capture all of the advantages that 401 (k)s and individual retirement accounts offer. Here’s how to make the most of your retirement accounts in 2015. Max out your 401 (k). You can contribute up to $18,000 to a 401 (k) plan in 2015, $500 more than in 2014. To be on track to max out your 401 (k), you will need to contribute $1,500 per month or $750 per paycheck if you are paid twice per month. If you were already maxing out your 401 (k) plan in 2014, you can reset your monthly contributions about $42 higher to take advantage of the higher contribution limit. “ Adjust your deferral slightly upward to make sure you don’t miss out on maximizing your 401 (k),” says Michael Hollars, a certified financial planner for Client First Finance in Sunnyvale, California. A worker in the 25 percent tax bracket who contributes the maximum possible amount to a 401 (k) in 2015 will save $4,500 on his 2015 tax bill. Taxes won’t be due on that money until it is withdrawn from the account."

"text": "Tax-Free Growth: Why So Many Love the Roth IRAby Miranda Marquit · 13 comments Those of us steeped in the personal finance blogosphere find it incredible to think that there are those who have no knowledge of the Roth IRA. However, it is true that at one time I had no idea what the Roth IRA was — and I was probably about the same age as the college seniors who surprised Jeff Rose not too long ago, providing the inspiration for a Roth IRA movement. Luckily, my research into finances and my time as a freelance writer allowed me to learn about the Roth IRA, which will give a huge boost to my retirement. Tax-Free Growth with the Roth IRAOne of the reasons that the Roth IRA is such a great retirement savings tool is that your money grows tax-free. When you contribute money to your Roth IRA, it goes into investments of your choosing, and you aren’t taxed on your earnings. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA later on, during retirement, you don’t have to pay taxes on the withdrawals. This is what appeals to many. Of course, this tax-free growth later comes with a price now. Contributions to the Roth IRA are made with after-tax dollars. This means that you don’t get a tax deduction for the money you put in."

Roth 401k first became available in 2006, and many companies slowly rolled out the plan over the next few years. The key difference from the traditional 401k is: The contribution to ROTH 401k is taxed at your current rate and the withdrawal will be tax-free in retirement (after 59 and a half. ) Let’s go through the ROTH 401k.

Posted by Ryan Guina on February 10, 2018 | Investing A frequent question I get asked is where to find the best Roth IRA rates. I applaud anyone seeking to improve his investment returns. Unfortunately, this is a question without a specific answer because a Roth IRA by itself isn’t a fixed rate investment; it is an investment account that can contain multiple types of investments with varying rates of return and amounts of risk. A Roth IRA is an Investment Vehicle, Not an Investment The first thing we need to do is understand what an IRA is and is not. According to the IRS, an IRA is an Individual Retirement Arrangement or an Individual Retirement Account, depending on how the term is used. The key word here is “Individual.” The person who owns the IRA determines how the assets are invested. Roth IRAs are a trust or custodial account designed for special tax benefits. But a Roth IRA by itself is not an investment – it is an account designed to hold investments."

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Dana Anspach Updated January 07, 2017A SEP IRA is a retirement plan that a self-employed person or small business owner can establish. Who Might Want to Establish a Sep? A high income earning self-employed person with no employees might consider setting up a SEP IRA to defer income, save for retirement, and save money on taxes. For self-employed people with no employees, first, compare a SEP to an Individual 401 (k) plan to decide which plan is best for you. The Individual 401 (k) may allow you to switch between Roth 401 (k) (after-tax) and Regular 401 (k) (pre-tax) contributions based on your tax bracket. The SEP only accepts pre-tax contributions. An employer who wants to reward loyal employees might consider a SEP as an alternative to a more formal profit sharing plan. The SEP will have lower administrative fees, lower costs, and be more flexible. How Much Can You Contribute to a SEP?"

Fidelity Viewpoints – 12/21/2017Saving for Retirement 401 (k) IRA Retirement Accounts Rollover IRA Roth IRA Traditional IRAKey takeaways There's an immediate cost to cashing out a 401 (k): federal and state income tax, and for those younger than 59½, a 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you run into financial trouble, a loan from your 401 (k) may be an option, or a hardship withdrawal (if the plan offers it). Long-term consequences include the lost opportunity for tax-deferred growth. Have you ever cashed out your 401 (k) when changing jobs? If so, you may have been stunned to find an incredibly shrunken balance, the victim of taxes and early withdrawal penalties that can approach 50% for people in the top income tax bracket. All too often, people make that painful mistake when managing their 401 (k) savings—they cash out. Fidelity data finds that 1 in 3 investors has cashed out of their 401 (k) before reaching age 59½, often when changing jobs. Long-term consequences For many, cashing out a 401 (k) seems like a relatively easy way to solve a short-term cash crunch, whether it's due to temporary cash-flow problems created by the loss of a job, or simply paying down a credit card or covering an emergency home repair. But while doing so may not seem like a big deal, especially if you have a small balance, over a long period of time, the consequences of cashing out can be significant. \"\""

Also, it’s crucial for you to understand that you may not even need to pick one or the other.

Investment advisory fees related to your IRA can have a significant impact on your investment performance and the overall value of the account. It makes sense to attempt to offset some of this expense by reducing your tax bill, deducting these fees from your taxable income. The deductibility of these expenses depends on how the trustee or financial advisors handle the invoicing and payment of the fees, and if they are paid from IRA funds or not. Investment Advice The IRS has ruled in a private letter ruling that a company can deduct advisory fees separately billed and paid with non-pension fund assets. No reason exists to believe that the IRS would not apply the same ruling to an IRA owned by an individual, allowing deductibility of the same fees.

According to industry experts in 2010, since 2005, more than 10,000 business startups had been financed using arrangements whereby individual qualified plan accounts or IRAs were rolled over into a newly established 401 (k) plan sponsored by the startup business and then used to purchase the new business’s stock. These arrangements are commonly referred to as rollovers as business startups (ROBS). The arrangement allows entrepreneurs to purchase or capitalize a new business with previously untaxed retirement funds without incurring any taxes and penalties that normally apply to early distributions from these funds. Promoters aggressively market ROBS arrangements to prospective business owners. In the franchise area, franchisors often refer prospective franchisees to ROBS promoters to finance the purchase of a franchise. In many cases, the franchisor pays an undisclosed referral fee to the ROBS promoter. Although the IRS has not endorsed ROBS arrangements, which has led some commentators to conclude that the IRS is hostile to the arrangement, the IRS has said that it does not believe that the form of these arrangements “may be challenged as non-compliant per se ” and that the Service will review ROBS arrangements on a case-by-case basis to determine whether an arrangement complies with the law (see IRS Tax-Exempt and Government Entities Division memorandum, “ Guidelines Regarding Rollovers as Business Start-Ups ” (10/1/08)). This article focuses on the typical structure of a ROBS arrangement, the IRS’s reaction, and the legal pitfalls to avoid.

But which is the best option? It all depends on your needs. We’ll take you through the various kinds of lighting, and the benefits that each offers. LEDs vs. Incandescent Bulbs Traditional incandescent bulbs measured their brightness in watts; if you wanted a brighter bulb, you bought one with a higher wattage. However, with the advent of LEDs and other types of lighting, that yardstick has become meaningless, and as a result, a bulb's brightness is now listed as lumens, which is a more accurate measurement of how bright it is, rather than how much energy it consumes. Below is a conversion table which shows how much energy, in watts, an incandescent bulb and an LED typically require to produce the same amount of light. When connected to your Wi-Fi network, you can change the colors of these LEDs using your i Phone, and even turn them on automatically when you wake up, arrive home or even when your favorite team scores.

A 60-watt–equivalent CFL bulb from Philips, for example, consumes 13 watts and has a rated lifetime of 12,000 hours (or about 11 years) when lit for three hours a day, but retails for only $1.50-$2.00."

I hear the terms T12, T8, super T8, high-performance T8, and even T5. What's the difference? I want to put up some lights in various locations outside my business, including walkways, the parking lot and some areas that are quite a ways from my building. But I don't want to shine light in the homes neighboring one side of my property. How do I know what types of lights I should use? What outdoor lighting is good for my business?

"text": "Milosz Pekala Helpful Tips 0 Comments LED lights last a long time, according to almost every lighting article online today. But how long exactly do they work? As a practical shopper, you want to know what to expect of your new purchase and whether the new technology lives up to the hype – that makes you a smart spender. So let’s discuss LED lights a little more in depth and learn what affects the life span of these energy-efficient bulbs. What is the average lifespan of LED lights? A good quality LED light should last between 30,000 and 50,000 hours, and some last even longer, according to the US Department of Energy. Why some bulbs burn 50,000 hours and others don’t can depend on several factors, including the fixture type and operating temperature. Will operating temperature affect LED lights? When used outdoors, LED lights are not affected by cold temperatures. They are, however, affected by heat."

Many people are finding that choosing the right light bulb has a steep learning curve.i Stockphoto Buying a light bulb used to be a no-brainer. Now it's a brain teaser; the transition to more energy-efficient lighting means choosing from a dazzling array of products. We've long identified bulbs by their wattage, but that is actually a measure of electricity, not the brightness of a bulb. The amount of light a bulb generates is measured in lumens. Shopping Guide NPR's Guide To Changing Light Bulbsonecooltree/i Stock Photo An incandescent 60-watt bulb, for example, gives off 800 lumens of light. And LED bulbs, which are more energy efficient than their incandescent counterparts, can deliver the same amount of light using as little as 10 watts. The Environmental Protection Agency says that if every household replaced just one incandescent bulb with an \"\"Energy Star\"\"-rated LED or CFL (compact fluorescent), Americans would save close to $700 million per year in energy costs. But with so many types of bulbs with different price points and life spans now on the market, many consumers are confused."

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

Yes, all incandescent bulbs are dimmable and compatible with most dimmers. However, we don't recommend using incandescent bulbs with an LED dimmer. Chances are if you have an LED dimmer, you've already updated to LED bulbs as well. But if the dimmer controls more than one bulb on the circuit and is not designed to support multiple technologies, you may want to spring for a new LED bulb. Can I Use a Higher Wattage Bulb Than Recommended on a Lamp? If you are switching to LED bulbs, you can use a higher wattage equivalent bulb so long as the actual wattage of the bulb does not exceed the fixture's rating. For example, you can use a 100 Watt equal LED bulb to replace a 60 Watt incandescent bulb because the LED bulb only uses 15-20 Watts, well below the maximum rating of the fixture. You cannot use a 100 Watt incandescent bulb, because the bulb would draw more power than the fixture can handle. This would cause the bulb to overheat, burn out prematurely, potentially cause damage to the fixture, and become a fire hazard.3-Way, Appliance, and Rough Service Light Bulbs Some incandescent light bulbs are used in specialty applications such as microwaves or ovens, where you can't use LED bulbs."

"text": "Planning + Design Light Bulb Types for Recessed Lighting By Andrew Schmitz 5848Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter The type of light bulbs that you install in recessed lighting plays a major role in achieving your desired results. This post will explain how light bulbs are categorized and the differences between them. I’ve also included recommendations and a light bulb comparison chart that’s organized by fixture size and bulb type. Note: It’s worth mentioning that technically the correct term for a light bulb is a lamp. That being said, light bulb is more commonly used and I use both terms interchangeably. Light bulbs are categorized by the following: Type The four light bulb types used in residential recessed lighting are incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent (CFL), and light emitting diode (LED). Incandescent light bulbs are the most common type used among homeowners (for now), despite being the oldest and most inefficient technology. Electrical current passes through a tiny wire (filament) causing it get hot and glow. On average only 10% of the energy they consume is converted to light, with the remaining 90% being converted to heat. Halogen light bulbs are a type of incandescent lamp."

"text": "\"The True Cost Of Light Bulbs: LED vs CFL vs Incandescent Thomas Edison (the man who invented the modern incandescent light bulb as we know it) once said “We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles”. While I appreciate the philanthropic nature of his comment, something tells me he never would have predicted just how much it costs to power the light bulbs that illuminate our homes more than a century later. According to the US Energy Information Administration the national average per k Wh is only $.10, and while that may not seem like much, I assure you that energy costs can add up quick. To help illustrate this point, let’s take a look at the true cost of light bulbs. The true cost of light bulbs: LED vs. CFL vs. Incandescent To begin, take a look at the following chart which breaks down the real costs associated with the three most common types of light bulbs over a seven year period (LEDs, CFLs and Incandescents). Note that this chart was compiled by Scott Cooney, an Adjunct Professor in the MBA program at the University of Hawaii and founder of the home efficiency service Pono Home, based on Hawaii’s rates of 34.5c per k Wh, and the assumption of 3 hours per day the bulbs are on (average American use stat from Energy Star.gov ). So let’s break down just what this chart is telling us. The breakeven point (the point at which the total long term cost of the more efficient bulb becomes less than that of the less efficient bulb) happens in year one for both CFLs and LEDs as opposed to incandescents. In year 2, the LED surpasses the CFL in long term savings. So if you have a 2 year or longer time horizon, the LED is not only the more eco-friendly option, it’s the most cost-effective, despite the higher upfront cost."

The higher the rating, the more protected lighting is. You need a minimum IP44 rating. The first digit refers to the degree you’re protected from any contact with moving parts, and the degree the light is protected from anything getting inside. This ranges from ‘0’ (no special protection) to ‘6’ (dust tight). The second digit indicates how much moisture (drips, spray or jets) the light can withstand. This ranges from ‘0’ (no special protection) to ‘8’ (protection from complete, continuous submersion in water). For example, an IP44 rating means nothing bigger than 1mm can get in, and it’s safe from splashing water."

"text": "FAQ - LED Radio Interference Issues Some LED lighting products have been reported to emit noise, interfering with FM radio and DAB signals. While the Light Emitting Diodes themselves do not generate any detectable noise, the switching power circuitry driving the LEDs operate at high frequencies, which, when not properly filtered can result in electromagnetic interference. Based on the reported experiences of some LED users, interference issues and, occasionally EMC violation, can arise as a result of radiated emissions in the 30MHz to 300MHz range by some LED products. The LED lights most commonly involved are of fixture type MR16 (more correctly GU5.3), however radiated emissions have also been observed in other fixture types including GU10, E27 and B22 designs. In the case of MR16 lights, the radiated noise signals would most likely be the result of the electronic transformers driving them rather than the lights themselves. Electronic transformers are switched mode power supplies that switch the forward current on and off at high frequencies to minimize power dissipation. When these higher frequencies are not properly filtered, it can result in RFI emission. Signals most likely to suffer as a result of radiated noise include FM radio (broadcast band 87.5 to 108.0 MHz) and DAB radio (broadcast band 174 to 230 MHz). A19 Globe by FEIT Electric The RFI emissions of a Dimmable A19 Globe manufactured by FEIT Electric was measured using a VHF antenna and a spectrum analyzer over the 30-300 MHz range. The LED light was found to emit significant broadband interference consistent with user's reviews, adding audible noise to FM and completely cutting out DAB stations."

Each type of bulb, whether a Halogen or LED light bulb, has benefits, such as the sharp light of an incandescent bulb. Save money by opting for light bulbs that have longer life spans, which also reduces upkeep time because you replace them less often. Safety Lighting Exit and emergency light bulbs use eye-catching red light to ensure everyone is aware of them. Emergency lights are a simple and effective way to alert people when something is wrong, such as a fire or a break-in. Lit exit signs are safer and easier to find than versions that lack light, and exit lighting is easy to see in the dark or through haze or smoke during emergency situations. Halogen Bulbs When you need soft light, opt a halogen light bulb. These bulbs are typically used for flood lighting situations, such as exterior lighting of paths, stairs, and parking lots. This lighting is gentle on the eyes because it creates a bright area with few harsh shadows. Halogen light bulbs can last up to 2,000 hours, so they can brighten many nights before needing to be replaced, reducing upkeep time."

"text": "\"Photos by Michael Hession The Best LED Light Bulb Updated October 31, 2016: We have all new picks: The Cree 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable LED (and the Cree 40W Equivalent Soft White A19) are our picks for most rooms, and the Philips 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable…Show more Your guides Tyler Wells Lynch Casey Johnston After 20 hours researching dozens of LED light bulbs and testing 10 finalists, we found that the Cree 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable LED is the all-around best option for most people. It was one of the most affordable and versatile bulbs we tried, and it outperformed most other bulbs in most of our tests. Our pick Cree 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable LEDMost versatile For a lower price than most other bulbs, this dimmable LED balances brightness, efficiency, a wide dimming range, and a high CRI of 85, producing warm and accurate light.$20 from Home Depot (pack of four)Of all the bulbs we tested, this Cree 60-watt-equivalent bulb had the widest dimming range, spanning from 295 lux at its brightest to just 13 lux at its dimmest. It was also the second-brightest overall, just barely edged out by the twice-as-expensive GE Reveal’s 308-lux reading, despite consuming only 9.5 watts compared with the GE’s 11-watt draw. And this Cree bulb has a slightly higher-than-average color rendering index (CRI) of 85, which means colors should appear a bit more accurate. While the cost of all LED bulbs has dropped significantly in recent years, the Cree’s price of less than $5 per bulb is competitive, especially given its performance—but you can buy it only in a four-pack for now. Runner-up Philips 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable LED with Warm Glow Almost as good This bulb met all of our requirements and had nearly as wide a dim range as the Cree in our tests, but it costs slightly more per bulb and has a lower CRI.$6 from Home Depot If our top pick is unavailable, the Philips 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Dimmable LED with Warm Glow is a great backup choice. It meets all the same criteria as the Cree does, with only slightly inferior specs and a slightly higher price per bulb. It has a lower CRI (80), it doesn’t get quite as bright according to our lux meter (though we couldn’t tell the difference with the naked eye), and it has a narrower dimming range. However, it is available on a single-bulb basis if you need to get only one or two at a time."

We explore the difference in our LED vs. Fluorescent tubes match-up, a first of many comparison posts to come - weighing the commonly often used lighting products to their LED alternatives. There are three main areas worth comparing:1. Energy Consumption As the deciding factor for many property managers and companies, energy consumption or electricity use can be the difference maker for not only lighting but many other operational technologies associated with a building. While many facilities managers look to install energy efficient HVAC systems, not many are familiar with the potential savings with LED tubes compared to their current fluorescent lamps. This is especially true for property areas with 24/7 lighting (meaning the light is on all day and night) such as parking garages, hallways, lobbies, amenity rooms and many other locations. So how much difference does an LED tube make compared to a fluorescent? Below is a simple comparison chart between the two: Technology Ballast Factor Operational Wattage Annual Consumption (24/7 operation - 1 bulb)34 Watt T12 Fluorescent Tubes0.88 43 Watts 376.68 k Wh16 Watt T8 Equivalent LED Tube1 16 Watts 140.16 k Wh While the difference is only 236.52 k Wh, keep in mind that this is for one bulb only! If the cost of energy is $0.11 per 1 k Wh...with just one bulb the building would save approximately $26.00."

Some live in the intestines and some in the tissue. Many worms do not pose a problem for your dog at all, and you will not even be aware that they are even there. Some worms can be tolerated in small numbers, but in high numbers can create serious problems. Generally a dog should be treated every six months for roundworms and tapeworms. They are the most common, with roundworm being the bigger problem. Puppies should be treated starting at 2 to 3 weeks of age and every 2 weeks after until the puppy reaches about 3 months old as advised by your vet with vet recommended medicine. Be sure to deworm the dam. Talk to your vet. You MUST check with your local veterinarian to find out what is in your area, and how your puppy or dog needs to be treated."

Puppies need to be dewormed several times during their first few months of life and adult dogs should be dewormed annually - even if there are no signs of a worm problem. Dog worms multiply and grow rapidly, and a few of them can turn into quite an army in a pretty short space of time. It's also possible for some types of dog worms to be passed onto human family members, particularly children.

"text": "Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), sometimes called feline AIDS, is a serious infection that weakens a cat's immune system and leaves her prone to other serious infections. First discovered in a California cattery in 1986, FIV resembles the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS in that both are retroviruses that target their hosts' immune systems. FIV is feline-specific, and HIV is human-specific-there are no recorded instances of a person contracting feline AIDS from a cat. How Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Is Transmitted Cats can contract FIV in two significant ways. The most common method of transmission is when an infected cat bites another cat and passes the virus in saliva to the other cat's bloodstream. The second, but less common, transmission route is when an infected female cat gives birth to a litter of kittens. Some kittens become infected during birth, while others may become infected by consuming their mother's milk. No cure currently exists for FIV, but vaccination can help protect your cat from becoming infected with the virus. The vaccination is especially recommended for outdoor cats due to their increased risk of exposure to the virus. Signs of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus FIV passes through three separate stages-acute, latent and final-after your cat becomes infected."

If so they have not done corrrect rearing of pups and obviously not wormed Mum before mating her as pups start to be wormed from 2 weeks and then every 2 weeks after that till approx 12 weeks when they go onto tablets and up to that time they are on a nice tasting paste de-worming nedication.l am horrified to think any registered Breeder would do this and in fact doubt if this person is registered at all.if you got papers which you would have to get then they are a member of the Dog Governing Body of your Country most likely the AKC if in the US and should be reported immediately. Any dogs you have and you yourself or family CAN contract worms from dogs and cats if they lick the bums and then lick your face or something like that or if kids touch thier poos it is automatically transferred but easy to get rid of but unpleasant.if anyone tells you you cannot catch worms from dogs they do not know anything about dogs or vet menicine or medicine in general. The worst thing to get is tape worm but this is very rarely transmitted except by you eating diseased meat which had tape worm. Keep the pup infected completely away from any other dogs and when it does a poo clean it up immediately .. By dogs licking each other and their bums worms lay eggs in the anus and that is how it can and is transmitted to the other dogs. Go to the vet he will give you a course of all wormers not just for one kind and you will need more than one treatment and you can give it the tablets yourself or crush them up and place in food.l would worm any other pups or dogs you have also as you do not know if they have been infected too. Make sure it si an all wormer not just for round worms one h ook worms or whatever and insist on this for both pups. You really do not need to go for a consultation but take a specimen rto the vet and he will know exactly what it is it may save you a consultation fee on the other hand has this new pup had all its inoculations as you must have been provided with this ar point of sale as well and a micro chip if a registered breeder which l doubt.

Anemia Fleas Ticks Toxoplasmosis Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites are common in cats, with prevalence rates as high as 45% depending upon the population studied. The parasites can be wormlike (e.g., stomach worms, roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms) or single-celled microscopic organisms (e.g., Isospora, Giardia, Toxoplasma ). The signs associated with parasite infections are fairly nonspecific, such as a dull haircoat, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, mucoid or bloody feces, loss of appetite, pale mucous membranes, or a pot-bellied appearance. The vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and dehydration caused by intestinal parasites will weaken a cat, making it more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections and diseases, thus robbing your cat of good health. Some feline GI parasites have the potential to infect humans. Wormlike Parasites Roundworms Roundworms ( Toxascaris leonina and Toxocara cati) are the most common intestinal parasite of cats, with an estimated prevalence of 25% to 75%, and often higher in kittens. Adult roundworms are three to five inches long, cream-colored, and live in the cat's intestine, where they survive by eating food ingested by the host without attaching to the wall of the intestine. The adult female worm produces fertile eggs that are passed in the infected cat's feces. The eggs require several days to several weeks to develop into the infective larva stage."

These parasites are passed through water, food, vomit or feces that are infected with roundworm eggs. If someone accidentally ingests any of the eggs, that person can become infected.

If your dog comes in contact with an infected dog, he will not become infected. If there is heartworm in your area, however, your dog may come in contact with a mosquito that transmits the disease. The mosquito contracts it from a dog that has it, so it's possible that if your dog is in contact with a dog that carries the disease, there are mosquitoes nearby that may transmit it.

There are a number of diseases that are classified as zoonotic, a term that refers to a diseases' capability to easily slip between species, infecting different species of animals, and even humans. Such has been the case with the most recent H1N1 virus, also commonly known as the swine flu, which has crossed from the porcine population to humans. It is now known to be capable of crossing over from humans to domestic pets as well. There is also the type that will inhabit a host, remaining benign until it comes into contact with its target host, where it then becomes a full blown disease. An excellent example of this is is the Baylisascaris procyonis, or Raccoon disease, a roundworm infection that is carried harmlessly by a host raccoon, but which is deadly when acquired by a human host. There are other types of diseases that belong to the same genus, or family of organisms, but which differ in degree enough so that they cannot be passed from one species to another. Such is the case with the viral Parvoviridae family. There are some dozens of species of parvovirus within the familial classification, but they are all limited to their taxonomic units. That is, mouse parvovirus is limited to mice, hamsters and other rodents of its order, porcine parvovirus is limited to pigs, chicken parvovirus is limited to chickens, etc."

Raccoon Roundworm Raccoons are the normal host for the parasitic nematode or roundworm known as Baylisascaris procyonis. It is the common large roundworm found in the small intestines of raccoons. Cotton rats are believed to be a possible intermediate host. Adult raccoons are susceptible only to larvae from rodent tissue while young raccoons are susceptible to infection by egg ingestion where larva hatches in small intestine with migration apparently limited to wall of small intestine. This roundworm is zoonotic, meaning it can pass from animal to animal (or human). In the raccoon, these worms normally produce no symptoms in the infected host raccoon, other than possibly intestinal obstruction, and apparently do little or no harm to adult raccoons. In the Midwest, prevalence is 70% for adult and 99% for baby raccoons according to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Adult worms measure 15 to 20 cm in length and 1 cm in width, tan-white in color, cylindrical and tapered at both ends. The eggs are ovoid, brown, with finely pitted outer shell, measure 70 x 55 microns and are passed in one-cell stage."

When should vaccinations begin? Your puppy or kitten should get his or her first vaccination at 6-8 weeks of age. During this first visit your new pet will also have a first treatment for roundworms. In addition, kittens should be tested for the feline leukemia virus (Fe LV) before being introduced to other cats in the home. It is recommended that all new pets receive a thorough physical exam by a doctor. How many vaccinations will be needed? Puppies need a DHPP vaccination every 3 weeks until they are at least 4 months old, a booster of Adult DHP in 1 year, and then a booster of Adult DHP every 3 years. Purebred rottweilers, dobermans, Staffordshire terriers, and pit bulls need an additional DHPP vaccination at 5 months of age."

Signs of an enlarged prostate should be considered an emergency; even if the growth is benign, it can still cause a hormonal imbalance which can have devastating effects on the ferret's health. Treatment options include surgery or cryosurgery to excise the affected glands, melatonin or deslorelin implants, which treat the symptoms but not the disease itself, and/or hormone therapy. The causes of adrenal disease are as yet uncertain, but speculated triggers include unnatural light cycles, diets based around processed ferret foods, and prepubescent neutering."

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions and—in rare instances—humans. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas, they are considered important carriers of the disease. Dogs.

It invariably causes swelling of the brain and death after a relatively short illness. How is rabies transmitted? The rabies virus is found in the nervous tissue of infected mammals. As the virus works its way to the brain, it begins to be secreted in the saliva of the animal. People and mammals get rabies when infectious saliva is introduced into the body, usually through a bite from an infected animal. Rabies transmissions from other types of exposures are extremely rare. These types of exposures include saliva or nervous tissue entering an open wound or saliva or nervous tissue coming into contact with a mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth.

The saliva of dogs, cats, ferrets, and rabbits is known to contain a wide variety of bacteria. According to one study, bacteria or other pathogens show up in about 85 percent of animal bites . These microorganisms may grow within the wound and cause an infection. The consequences of infection from these bites range from mild discomfort to life-threatening complications. Description Animal bites may occur in a variety of circumstances, ranging from unprovoked attacks in the wild by rabid or naturally aggressive animals to injuries inflicted by household pets who do not feel well, are frightened, are interrupted during their meal, or are annoyed by a child's teasing or overly rough play. The bite may be a simple warning to back off (as in most household cats), an assertion of dominance and control (as in many dogs), or an intention to seriously injure or kill (as in a few breeds of dogs and some wild animals). Animal bites can range from small injuries that barely break the skin to severe wounds that can cause a person to lose the use of a hand, eye, or foot or even bleed to death. Demographics The number of animal bites that occur in the United States each year is difficult to estimate because many of these injuries are treated successfully at home. Still, U. S. figures range from 1 million to 4.5 million animal bites each year."

S. households have welcomed some type of pet. There are plenty of cats (75 million) and dogs (60 million) — but there are also millions of unusual or exotic pet species out there, too. While some exotic pets belong in the wild and do not adjust well to captivity, some unusual domesticated animals make great pets. If you don’t want to go the dog or cat route, consider these exotic pets — along with their sometimes unusual pet health requirements.2 / 10 Exotic Pet Birds At first glance, an exotic pet bird may seem like a good idea if you don't have time to devote to a dog or cat. But in truth, these birds, which can have the intelligence of a young child and are usually very affectionate, are not that easy to care for. Millions of exotic pet birds end up abandoned or living a lonely life of misery in a cage that is too small for them. Screaming and biting are common behaviors in neglected birds. But in the right hands, exotic birds can be wonderful pets — just remember that they require a lot of time and dedication.3 / 10 Not-so-Cuddly Reptiles Reptiles are popular exotic pets, but they also require a lot of caution and care to keep them in good pet health. You should know that most reptiles do not want to be held or cuddled by a child, may spend most of their time hiding, and may require very special foods and living conditions. In addition, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are more than 90,000 cases of salmonella infections in people from exposure to reptiles every year."

The situation has only been exacerbated by massive concerns over the safety of ingredients used in pet food manufacturing as a result of recalls in 2007. Ferrets are \"\"obligate\"\" carnivores, which means they are meant to eat meat -- just meat. Ferrets are not designed to digest grains, or sugars, or fillers such as corn. These are unfortunately used in the processing of many ferret diets, especially some of the earlier ones. Years ago, high-quality kitten foods were often better suited to meet the needs of ferrets for protein and fat requirements than the scarcely available ferret foods. The science of feeding ferrets has come a long way and processed ferret foods are much better (and more available) than they once were, but are processed foods good enough? More and more ferret owners are wondering if more natural diets such as whole prey or raw foods are a better way to meet the dietary needs of their pets. Current Status Opinions are definitely mixed and often quite heated on the topic of pet diets, ferret foods included. What I hope to do here is look at current recommendations for feeding ferrets and the pros and cons of more natural diets such as whole prey and raw diets."

They make wonderful pets, but before you fall in love with one at a pet store or rush off to get one after talking to a delighted ferret owner, there are a few things that you must consider. Time Ferrets make excellent pets for people who have the time for them, and who bond well with animals. Ferrets are naturally quiet, friendly, inquisitive, intelligent, and companionable. At certain points in the day, they are also exceedingly active and capable of getting themselves into trouble unless they are supervised. Their intelligence makes them interesting companions, and they are able to amuse themselves when you are not around. But they do require attention and interaction with their owners; their mental and physical health depends on it. Legalities City, county, state, or military regulations can all dictate whether or not it is legal for you to own, breed, or sell a ferret where you live. The regulations can be quite involved. California, for example, allows only neutered males to be kept; and in Carson City, Nevada, it is illegal to own a ferret if you have a small child in your household."

In early 1994 or so, a mysterious disease cropped up among ferrets and spread quickly, particularly in the show circuit. It was originally called \"\"the greenies,\"\" but its official name is \"\"epizootic catarrhal enteritis (of ferrets)\"\". (\"\" Epizootic\"\" refers to a disease which is epidemic in animals, \"\"catarrhal\"\" means it's an inflammation of a mucous membrane, and \"\"enteritis\"\" means it affects the intestine.) It is characterized by the sudden onset of bright green or yellowish diarrhea. ( Note, however, that the green color just means that the food spent a very short time in the ferret's digestive tract. Ferrets do get diarrhea for other reasons, and a single day of soft greenish stool is not something to panic about.) No specific cause has been positively identified; it might not even be a virus, although that looks highly likely right now. Uncomplicated ECE in a young, healthy ferret generally lasts 7-10 days, but in about 20% of cases, there is an extended illness due to an overaggressive immune response, which may lead to a chronic wasting syndrome for some time afterward."

Furthermore, in a review of flea control products selected for use in a shelter situation (lots of dogs and cats and loads of fleas coming in the door every day), Advantage for Dogs and Cats was selected by my team as one of the three flea control products favoured for use (nitenpyram and selamectin being the other two), a decision that was based on many factors including: efficacy, safety, speed of action, environmental flea control, animal species treated (ferrets and rabbits also included) and cost-effectiveness. Advantage®, Advantix® and Advocate® are registered trademarks of Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany. Advantage Flea Control (Imidacloprid) - Contents:1) What is the active ingredient of Advantage flea control?2) What does Imidacloprid do to fleas and other insects? How does the Imidacloprid insecticide work?3) Does Advantage for cats and dogs (imidacloprid) only kill adult fleas?"

I wanted a female rabbit & ended up with a male. He kept mounting the cats. I think it costs about the same as for cats so depends where you are but between $100-$200? Pogo peeps · 1 decade ago3 2 Comment In my neck of the woods it will cost you $140 - $230 at a vet. This is typical. However if you have a clinic or shelter that does low-cost spay/neuter for rabbits then you may pay as little as $50. This is rare but worth the research to find one."

Fungal Infections Bacterial Infections Protozoal Diseases (Including Toxoplasmosis)Mycobacteria Viruses Prion Disease External Parasites WHAT ARE ZOONOSES? Zoonoses (also called zoonotic diseases) are diseases that can be passed from animals to man. Most diseases are species specific. Humans don't catch cat flu despite urban legends to the contrary. Most zoonotic diseases can be avoided through good hygiene - disinfecting areas which have become contaminated, washing hands after handling contaminated items (including cats) and wearing rubber gloves to prevent infectious matter entering skin wounds. The majority of diseases pose no threat to humans and can be treated by your doctor. A few are more dangerous to those with poor immune systems and a very small minority are unquestionably dangerous e.g. rabies. Cats can either be a reservoir for infection (they are hosts/carriers of the disease itself) or they might be incidental in the transmission of a disease (they physically carry an infected flea or tick on their fur, but the cat does not harbour the disease in its body). Common examples of zoonoses are toxoplasmosis (a protozoan), psittacosis (virus) and ringworm (fungus)."

It invariably causes swelling of the brain and death after a relatively short illness. How is rabies transmitted? The rabies virus is found in the nervous tissue of infected mammals. As the virus works its way to the brain, it begins to be secreted in the saliva of the animal. People and mammals get rabies when infectious saliva is introduced into the body, usually through a bite from an infected animal. Rabies transmissions from other types of exposures are extremely rare. These types of exposures include saliva or nervous tissue entering an open wound or saliva or nervous tissue coming into contact with a mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth. What are the symptoms of rabies in people?"

The Federal Flight Deck Officer program is run by the Federal Air Marshal Service with the aim of training the active and licensed airline pilots to carry weapons and defend their aircraft against criminal activity and terrorism.

[ 2] Under this program, flight crew members are deputized Federal Law Enforcement Officers authorized by the Transportation Security Administration to use firearms to defend against acts of criminal violence or air piracy undertaken to gain control of their aircraft. The first flight crew members that volunteered were pilots and flight engineer assigned to fly scheduled passenger air service under the FAR 121 (Domestic and Flag Air Carrier Operations). Participants in the program were meant to remain anonymous, and while armed, were prohibited from sharing their participation except with select personnel on a need-to-know basis.

C., United States, at Judiciary Square, honors 21,183 U. S. law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty throughout American history. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) was established by former U. S. Representative Mario Biaggi (D-NY), a 23-year New York City police veteran who was wounded in the line of duty over 10 times before retiring in 1965. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 History3 Later developments4 Design and location5 Sculpture6 Gallery7 See also8 References9 External links Overview [ edit]The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to generate increased public support for the law enforcement profession by permanently recording and appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers; and to provide information that will help promote law enforcement safety. History [ edit]Donald J. Guilfoil, a detective with the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association, initiated the federal legislation to establish a National Police Memorial in 1972. Rep. Biaggi then took up the cause and joined forces with U. S. Senator Claiborne Pell (D-RI) to establish the national monument to honor all of America's fallen law enforcement officers. The legislation to authorize the memorial was enacted in October 1984. Fifteen national law enforcement organizations were responsible for the passage of the legislation, along with designing the memorial, finding the site to build the memorial, and raising the funds to build the memorial. The following police groups comprise the board of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) and continue to oversee operations of the memorial: Concerns of Police Survivors; Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association; Fraternal Order of Police; Fraternal Order of Police Auxiliary; International Association of Chiefs of Police; International Brotherhood of Police Officers; International Union of Police Associations/AFL-CIO; National Association of Police Organizations; National Black Police Association; National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives; National Sheriffs' Association; National Troopers Coalition; Police Executive Research Forum; Police Foundation; and the United Federation of Police. In 2009, a 16th member was added to the NLEOMF board: the Police Unity Tour, an organization of law enforcement officers who ride bicycles hundreds of miles to the memorial each May during National Police Week to honor and raise awareness of officers killed in the line of duty. In 2012, three additions were made to the Board including representatives from Du Pont, Motorola and Target."

Outside North America, such organizations are usually called police services.

LEAs which have their ability to apply their powers restricted in some way are said to operate within a jurisdiction. Non executive powers jurisdictional coverage of Europol LEAs will have some form of geographic restriction on their ability to apply their powers. The LEA might be able to apply its powers within a country, for example the United States of America 's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, within a division of a country, for example the Australian state Queensland Police, or across a collection of countries, for example international organizations such as Interpol, or the European Union 's Europol. LEAs which operate across a collection of countries tend to assist in law enforcement activities, rather than directly enforcing laws, by facilitating the sharing of information necessary for law enforcement between LEAs within those countries, for example Europol has no executive powers. [ 1]Sometimes a LEA’s jurisdiction is determined by the complexity or seriousness of the non compliance with a law. Some countries determine the jurisdiction in these circumstances by means of policy and resource allocation between agencies, for example in Australia, the Australian Federal Police take on complex serious matters referred to it by an agency [2] [3] and the agency will undertake its own investigations of less serious or complex matters by consensus, while other countries have laws which decide the jurisdiction, for example in the United States of America some matters are required by law to be referred to other agencies if they are of a certain level of seriousness or complexity, for example cross state boundary kidnapping in the United States is escalated to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"text": "\"IC21: The Intelligence Community in the 21st Century Staff Study Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence House of Representatives One Hundred Fourth Congress XIII. Intelligence and Law Enforcement Executive Summary For years, the intelligence and law enforcement communities have maintained an uneven, and at times an antagonistic relationship. This is due partly to differences in the roles and cultures of the two communities, as both have different responsibilities and objectives, as well as expectations regarding information acquisition and management, and because of differing end uses for that information. There have been other factors that have affected the interaction between law enforcement and intelligence. During the 1970's, investigations into improper domestic intelligence activities uncovered some degree of overreaching of intelligence into domestic areas. One of the results of these investigations was that the two communities tended to further distance themselves from one another over concern about further inadvertent missteps. Then, beginning in the late 1980's, two banking scandals (BCCI -- Bank of Credit and Commerce International -- and BNL -- Banca Nazionale del Lavoro) highlighted deficiencies in information management within and between the two communities. Investigators from Congress and the Intelligence Community itself recommended that problems relating to coordination and information management be remedied. Several other phenomena have focused the attention of the Committee and others on the future relationship between the two communities. Over the past 10 years, a number of statutes have been enacted that expand the extraterritorial responsibilities of U. S. law enforcement agencies."

SUMMARY: Section 6 (k) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (“the Act”) provides that certain individuals are not eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Such individuals include an individual fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody or confinement after conviction for committing a crime or attempting to commit a crime that is a felony under the law of the place from which the individual is fleeing (or a high misdemeanor in New Jersey) or is violating a condition of probation or parole under Federal or State law. Section 4112 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110-246, amended Section 6 (k) of the Act to require the Secretary of Agriculture to define the terms “fleeing” and “actively seeking” to ensure State agencies use consistent procedures to disqualify individuals. This rule proposes to define the terms “fleeing” and “actively seeking” and to establish procedures State agencies are to use in determining fleeing felon status. This rule also proposes criteria to identify a parole violator, verification procedures to establish an individual's status, and time frames for disqualifying an individual determined to be a fleeing felon or a parole violator. DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 18, 2011 to be assured of consideration. ADDRESSES: FNS invites interested persons to submit comments on this proposed rule.

"text": "\"Immigration Federalism: Which Policy Prevails? October 9, 2012 Feature By Monica Varsanyi, Paul Lewis, Doris Provine, Scott Decker In July 2012, Maricopa Country (AZ) Sheriff Joe Arpaio first appeared in court in a civil-rights trial that would determine whether his deputies engaged in racial profiling by detaining people solely on the suspicion they were unauthorized immigrants. The case raises some of the key issues regarding non-federal involvement in the complex U. S. immigration enforcement and policymaking system. ( Photo courtesy of Gage Skidmore)In the lead-up to the 2012 U. S. presidential election, a major point of contention between Republican and Democratic candidates has been the division of responsibility for immigration policy and enforcement between the federal government and states. This is not surprising. When viewed through the local law enforcement lens, the current arrangement looks more like a patchwork of overlapping and potentially conflicting authorities than a systematic nation-wide approach to immigration enforcement. This article examines the challenges resulting from these recent trends in immigration enforcement, based on two national surveys, one of city police chiefs and one of county sheriffs, and three case studies (Mesa, AZ; New Haven, CT; and Raleigh, NC). The article provides data on the impact of devolution of immigration powers to the local level and the growing involvement of local police in immigration enforcement. Ultimately, it argues that a multilayered jurisdictional patchwork has emerged, in which overlapping and neighboring jurisdictions can, and do, adopt conflicting policies and practices vis-à-vis their immigrant populations. Enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws was once firmly under federal control, with local law enforcement playing an occasional supportive role upon request."

[ 1] Unlike most officials in law enforcement in the United States, sheriffs are usually elected, although many states (such as California) have state laws requiring that a person possess certain law enforcement qualifications before being able to run for the office. Elected sheriffs are accountable directly to the constitution of their state, the United States Constitution, statutes, and the citizens of their county.

The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) is a coalition of police unions and associations from across the United States and was organized for the purpose of advancing the interests of America’s law enforcement officers through legislative advocacy, political action and education. Founded in 1978, NAPO is the strongest unified voice supporting law enforcement officers in the United States. NAPO represents more than 1,000 police units and associations, and more than 241,000 sworn law enforcement officers who share a common dedication to vigorous and effective representation on behalf of our nation’s law enforcement officers. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF NAPO? Increasingly, the rights and interests of law enforcement officers have been the subject of legislative, executive and judicial action in the nation’s capital. From issues of federal funding of State law enforcement and anti-terrorism efforts to federal policy on employee health, pension and other benefits, the actions of Congress and the Administration significantly impact public safety interests. These interests must be vigorously protected in light of the vital role law enforcement officers play in maintaining the peace and security of American society.

He was discovered by the Allied Forces; amongst them, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, who formed the United States Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B. P. R. D.). In time, Hellboy grew to be a large, red-skinned adult with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind circular stumps on his forehead), cloven hooves for feet, and an oversized right hand made of stone (the \"\"Right Hand of Doom\"\").

Allegory (in the sense of the practice and use of allegorical devices and works) has occurred widely throughout history in all forms of art, largely because it can readily illustrate or convey complex ideas and concepts in ways that are comprehensible or striking to its viewers, readers, or listeners. Writers or speakers typically use allegories as literary devices or as rhetorical devices that convey (semi-)hidden or complex meanings through symbolic figures, actions, imagery, or events, which together create the moral, spiritual, or political meaning the author wishes to convey.

[ 6]Types [ edit]Northrop Frye discussed what he termed a \"\"continuum of allegory\"\", a spectrum that ranges from what he termed the \"\"naive allegory\"\" of The Faerie Queene, to the more private allegories of modern paradox literature. [ 7] In this perspective, the characters in a \"\"naive\"\" allegory are not fully three-dimensional, for each aspect of their individual personalities and the events that befall them embodies some moral quality or other abstraction; the allegory has been selected first, and the details merely flesh it out."

Historical fiction takes place in an accurate historical period but the story is author's. I answer yes and no because some historical fiction dipict stories that really did happen; however, the author's chose to write fiction rather than non-fiction means that they aren't limited to what actually happened (so \"\"based on a true story). Another type of historical fiction falls within your own observation in the since that even though the time period is (hopefully) historically accurate the story is not. You can also argue a third type of historical fiction. In this one the events and surrounding storylines are accurate the the main characters and the part they played are fictional.

Hemingway is best known for works such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway began his writing career as a journalist and in the 1920s, while living in Paris, worked as foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. As a journalist he learned to focus only on events being reported, and to omit superfluous and extraneous matter. When he became a writer of short stories, he learned to write a surface story in which he omitted or hinted at the point of the story. Hemingway believed the true meaning of a piece of writing should not be evident from the surface story because the crux of the story lies below the surface. Critics [ citation needed] claim his iceberg theory, or theory of omission, in combination with his distinctive clarity of writing, functioned as a means to distance himself from the characters he created. Contents1 Background2 Definition3 Early fiction and short stories4 Novels5 Legacy6 Footnotes7 References Background Like other American writers such as Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis and Willa Cather, Hemingway worked as a journalist before becoming a novelist. After graduating from high school he went to work as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star, [ 1] where he quickly learned that truth often lurks below the surface of a story. [ 2] He learned about corruption in city politics, and that in hospital emergency rooms and police stations a mask of cynicism was worn \"\"like armour to shield whatever vulnerabilities remained\"\".

"text": "\"The 3 Most Important Elements of Fiction Writing By Magdalena Ball Even highly celebrated and well-paid authors miss them. While almost all writers are clear on the importance of plot, there are other writing skills such as a strong narrative voice, good deep characterization, and relevant, subtle scenery description that set a work of fiction apart, rendering it literary or great. In my work as a reader for a small publishing house, I have seen these omissions in nearly every manuscript that has come across my desk. If these three elements are patchy or not well-controlled, a piece of fiction will be amateurish, shallow, and potentially unpublishable (unless your name is Grisham or King). No amount of exciting plot or poetic description of the surrounding environment will make up for it. Following is a list of the three most important elements of fiction writing, along with a series of exercises and references to help writers improve in these critical areas. The very best way to improve your writing in these, and other areas, is to read lots of writers who have excellent control in these areas. They are also referenced. There will always be something subtle that extends beyond writing classes and even articles such as this, and that is the writer’s ear. Extensive reading of good quality literature can help develop that subtle ear for what works and what doesn’t."

"text": "Voluntary Consent Probable Cause If an officer suspects that you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, then the officer will likely ask you to voluntarily consent to several field sobriety tests. The administration of field sobriety tests constitute a search under the Oregon Constitution and The Constitution of the United States. Because field sobriety tests constitute a search, an officer must either have a search warrant or administer the tests under the authority of a recognized exception to the warrant requirement. Voluntary consent is a valid exception to the warrant requirement. Under the consent exception to the warrant requirement, the state must show by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant voluntarily consented to perform the tests . However, mere acquiescence to lawful authority is not consent. When assessing voluntariness, the totality of the circumstances are examined to determine whether defendant's consent was given by “an act of free will or was the result of coercion, express or implied. ”If the officer does not ask for consent to field sobriety testing, the State will attempt to justify the administration of the field sobriety tests under another legal theory – probable cause and exigent circumstances. Because blood alcohol concentration dissipates over time, a person’s blood alcohol concentration is considered an “exigency” or an “exigent circumstance.” In other words, a police officer must act swiftly in order to preserve the evidence of blood alcohol concentration."

Pursuant to California's implied consent law, your drivers license (or your right to drive in California if you're not a California licensed driver) was most likely suspended for anywhere from four months to three years for failing (.08 BAC or higher (lower for minors; those on DUI probation; and those driving a commercial motor vehicle)) or refusing a breath test.

Even though this test dates back to the 1950s, it is still used today to determine if a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Because it is non-standardized, the finger-to-nose field sobriety test is not endorsed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). That is to say, the finger-to-nose field sobriety test failed to meet the standardization requirements of the NHTSA. The finger-to-nose field sobriety test is a divided attention test that requires you to divide your attention between a mental task and a physical task. In administering this test, the police officer will instruct you to stand with you feet together with your hands at your side and remain still. You will also be instructed to close your eyes and keep your head facing forward. The police officer will then begin to give directional commands. That is to say, the police officer will either state “right” or “left” and you will be required to touch the corresponding tip of your index finger to the tip of your nose while maintaining your balance with your eyes closed. Typically, the sequence that most police officers utilize is left, right, left, right, right, left."

"text": "The Standard Field Sobriety Test By Editorial Staff Posted December 11, 2012 In General Information 00Share Tweet Share +1The Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) is a series of three tests performed during a traffic stop to determine if a driver is impaired and/or over the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit, which is .08 in every jurisdiction in the United States. Developed in the 1970s, these tests are scientifically validated and are admissible as evidence in court. A training program was developed to aid law enforcement to become skillful at detecting impaired drivers. Some courts require the officer to be qualified as an expert or skilled witness in order to express an opinion about the SFST at trial. Ohio was the first and only state where courts have ruled that only evidence from an SFST, as opposed to a basic field sobriety test, is admissible in court. The three tests of the SFST are the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test (HGN), Walk-and-Turn (WAT) and One-Leg Stand (OLS). HGN Test Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) is an involuntary jerking of the eye that occurs naturally as the eyes gaze from side to side. When sober, HGN occurs when the eyes are rotated at high peripheral angles. However, when a person is impaired by alcohol, HGN is exaggerated. An alcohol-impaired person might also have difficulty smoothly tracking a moving object."

The Dangers Of Boating Under The Influence Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is a big deal. Someone operating a boat with a Blood Alcohol Content (or BAC) of over .08% is 10 times more likely to die in a boating accident than someone driving a boat while sober. BUI is responsible for approximately 34 percent of fatal boat accidents every year.

The police can charge you with drunk driving if an officer stops you while driving or otherwise behind the wheel of a vehicle, and the officer suspects you are impaired by alcohol or drugs. Probable cause for a DWI stop can include weaving across lanes or into oncoming traffic, drifting off the road, and alternately speeding up and slowing down. Once the officer makes the stop, he has cause to make a DWI arrest if you smell of alcohol, have red, glassy eyes, slur your words and fail a field sobriety test. In Texas, impairment means a blood-alcohol level of. 08 or higher, or “not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties” because of drinking or taking drugs, according to the state Penal Code. DWI Penalties Increase For Second and Third Offense Charges DWI second offense is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by 30 days to 1 year in a county jail and/or a fine of not more than $4,000. DWI third offense is a third-degree felony, with a sentence of 2 to 10 years in a state prison and/or a fine of not more than $10,000. The judge – or a jury in a criminal trial – can still give you probation on a second or third drunk driving offense, but you will have to serve at least a few days in jail, under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

Three primary circumstances that may lead to a person being placed under arrest for DUI include: A Crime Observed First-Hand by the Police Officer This may be the most common and most obvious circumstance that leads to a DUI arrest. If a police officer personally witnesses a traffic violation or a driver exhibiting symptoms of drunk driving, the driver will be pulled over for suspicion of DUI. After a field sobriety test or a breath test to determine the driver's blood alcohol content, a DUI arrest may occur. \"\""

"text": "\"License Suspension The Hearing DMV License Suspension Hearing Once a driver has been arrested for DUI and booked at the police station, they will be served with a DMV Notice of Suspension. This suspension will take effect in 30 days — unless an administrative hearing is requested (see below). Accompanying the suspension will be a DMV form called an “Officer’s Statement -Admin Per Se”, completed by the arresting officer and setting forth the facts of the case relevant to the suspension. This document is signed under oath by the officer and forwarded to the department directly. The arrestee then has 10 days to request a license suspension hearing by contacting a local DMV office of Driver Safety. It is vital that a hearing is requested within this rigid 10-day window, or the right to a hearing is permanently lost and the suspension will automatically take effect 30 days from the date of arrest. Vehicle Code § 13558 (d) and (e) provide that your DUI attorney can obtain a stay of the suspension if the request for a hearing was made within ten days of the notice or if the requested hearing cannot be scheduled before the thirty-day temporary license expires. Note: the hearing is completely independent from the criminal court proceedings; it is not uncommon to win one proceeding and lose the other. Before the hearing is held, an internal administrative review will be conducted by the DMV on the case to ensure that the evidence complies with the requirements for an administrative suspension. Once this review is complete, and the demand for a hearing is made by the driver’s attorney, a hearing date is set."

First offense cases are not charged as crimes unless there is a minor in the car or there is an injury. Those non-criminal (civil) charges may be handled in municipal court or Circuit Court. Both criminal and civil drunk driving charges can have profound consequences. A criminal case can be either a misdemeanor (with a jail sentence) or a felony (with a potential prison sentence). This page describes Dane County practice but much of it is the same regardless of which county a case is charged in. Cases are charged where the events happened, not where the defendant lives. These are often the same place, but not always. Sometimes an incident charged as drunk driving may happen in more than one county, in which case it may be charged in any county where the driving under the influence occured.

Laws do not always become effective on Jan. 1, however. State constitutions or statutes usually establish when they go into effect, or sometimes, an effective date is written into the specific piece of legislation. Several states passed legislation regarding the use of E-Verify that will go into effect at the start of the new year. Several legislatures also changed requirements for upcoming elections. Other bills range from prohibiting the sale of shark fins to allowing civil unions, from creating a license plate for music teachers and banning people under the age of 18 from using tanning beds.

Many people think that field sobriety tests include saying the alphabet backwards, touching your fingers to your nose, or even juggling while singing (as in Steve Martin’s performance in The Man With Two Brains ). Steve Martin doing Field Sobriety Tests in “The Man With Two Brains. ”The real Field Sobriety Tests used in Oregon are meant to sound simple and easy-enough for anyone to perform– so as to elicit cooperation and compliance from unsuspecting drivers– but the truth is that the tests are nearly impossible for an untrained performer to complete without error. Drivers stopped and investigated for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUI) in Oregon are almost always asked to perform Field Sobriety Tests (typically abbreviated “FSTs”). The first three– the most common Field Sobriety Tests– are also often referred to as “Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs)” or “Standard Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs)”. The tests are referred to as “standardized” tests because they are intended to be administered the same way every time they are used, nationwide, based on studies from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Field Sobriety Tests are supposed to help law enforcement gauge whether or not a given driver may intoxicated and under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. However, many law enforcement officers in Oregon do not know how to properly administer Field Sobriety Tests in a manner that is both fair to the test subject and scientifically valid. Most officers have gone through, at most, a few days of training and fancy themselves experts in human psychology and physiology."

"text": "By: William C. Head, Criminal Defense Attorney Atlanta GA and ABA Board-Certified DUI Attorney The Georgia implied consent law notice in GA is part of a state statute, OCGA 40-5-67.1. All states in the USA have some sort of similar law that controls driver’s’ licenses, in situations where a suspected drunk driver is arrested for DUI-DWI, and is then informed of his or her legal duty to submit to the officer’s requested breath alcohol test, blood test or urine test (or, in GA, possibly all three). This “warning” is the GA implied consent law notice. Law enforcement officers are authorized and trained in the Police Academy to read this implied consent “warning” to the arrested drunken driver. Significantly, notice notifies the arrested motorist that a refusal to participate in the post-arrest testing in GA will suspend his or her driver’s license for a full year. This harsh loss of driving privileges, under the Georgia implied consent law, is among the toughest and most inflexible implied consent laws in America. Can a Judge in GA Issue a H ardship License for a DUI Work Permit? The short answer is NO. Judges have no legal authority to circumvent the Georgia implied consent law, which is controlled by State DUI laws. Your criminal lawyer has to beat a DUI, or negotiate a means of keeping you driving, through the administrative license suspension law in Georgia."

"text": "DUI Overview When a law enforcement officer suspects that a driver may be intoxicated, the officer conducts a standardized field sobriety test on the driver. Field sobriety tests require the driver to perform a number of skills tests that assess any impairment due to the influence of drugs or alcohol. Standardized field sobriety tests include the one-leg stand, the walk-and-turn, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. Measuring A Driver's Level Of Intoxication In the one-leg stand, the driver raises one foot and tips the head backwards slightly. In the walk-and-turn test the driver must walk a straight line, heel to toe. In the ‘horizontal gaze nystagmus’ test, the officer moves a penlight past the driver’s eyes. The officer is trained to look for certain movements in the eyes at a 45-degree angle, a test which is fairly accurate for determining drug or alcohol intoxication. The officer may then read an implied consent notice and may ask that the driver consent to some form of chemical testing for intoxication. Roadside this is usually a breath test, but the officer also has the right to ask the driver to go to a medical or detention facility to take a blood or urine test. A driver may be determined to be ‘per se intoxicated’ if a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) determination is above a set limit."

FST’s such as the One Leg Stand, Walk and Turn and Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (Eye Test) have gained prominence in recent years as seemingly effective, objective, easy to administer methods of determining impairment. Without adequate training, these tests are presented by the prosecution in court, with one goal in mind. To obtain a conviction! Unless these tests are subject to exacting scrutiny by defense lawyers, a jury may be swayed by their \"\"objective and scientific\"\" nature. Indeed, at first glance, the FST’s seem simple enough for some sober people to perform. It is a defense lawyers duty to demonstrate that these initial observations are not always as conclusive as one might think. The single best way to call these evaluations into doubt is by knowing how these FST’s work and through a thorough and well prepared cross examination.

By Claire Coleman for The Mail on Sunday Updated: 10:04 EDT, 15 June 2009View comments Last week, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) published statistics revealing that almost a quarter of their members had seen patients for surgery to correct problems caused by permanent fillers - injectable gels used to add volume to the face and, more recently, the body. Demand for fillers has soared in recent years, since surgeons realised that ageing causes our faces to lose their youthful plumpness. It's this thinning out - as much as wrinkles - that makes us look old. Seduced by the prospect of a quick, relatively inexpensive and surgeryfree solution to ageing, women rushed to have syringes full of synthetic compounds injected into their faces, breasts and bottoms in a bid to plump up their 'problem' areas. In demand: The popularity of fillers has soared as women have become seduced by the prospect of a quick, relatively inexpensive and surgeryfree solution to ageing There are hundreds of fillers available - products such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, Bio-Alcamid and Macrolane are just a few - and while some are made from substances the body is able to breakdown over a period of months or years, there is an issue with permanent fillers. As the name suggests, once injected, while not a permanent solution to the ageing problem, these substances do remain in the body permanently. If they move, patients can be left with unsightly lumps or bumps which are difficult to remove.

While it is very likely that Tova uses her own skincare line, and that Beauty by Tova must be successful in order to be such a long-selling feature, it is also likely that Tova enhances her skincare regime with plastic surgery. Although Tova’s product line is described as a “facelift in a jar,” Tova also likely has had a surgical facelift Cialis online and also uses Botox in her forehead and around her eyes. To maintain her plump, youthful face, Tova also likely gets fillers like Sculptra injected into her cheeks. Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says, “Tova Traenaes does have a very smooth look to her face. I do believe that she has had cosmetic surgery to her face because of the obvious difference in her skin’s appearance between her face and her neck. In addition, she appears to use Botox to smooth out her forehead and fillers such as Sculptra to augment her cheeks giving her a more youthful look.

The point of this article is to assist you in choosing the best of what is available in dog and cat kibble, but... I have to be 100% honest with you, I have yet to find a dog or cat kibble that is truly: Nutritionally complete;Truly species appropriate;Truly free-of toxins and carcinogens. In addition it is important to note that no matter what dog kibble you purchase, in order to ensure your dog's or cat's overall health you will have to supplement his/her diet with other items such as: Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and;Probiotics;You will see why further below. But yes, there is a vast difference between the majority of dry dog food (dog kibble) and the truly better dry dog foods. The number of obese dogs and cats has increased in recent years. As well, so many dogs and cats are getting cancer and other diseases. The proof is in the numbers;Statistics recorded by veterinary organizations from the 1950's up to present day are very telling;T he life-span of a companion dog in North America is now half of what it was in the 1950's;In the 1950's the average life-span of a golden retriever was 15 to 16 years, today the average is in the range of 8 to12 years;In 2005, 50% of older dogs dies from cancer, and the number is on the rise. There are three main reasons for this downturn in the health of dogs and cats;Inappropriate diet (the wrong type of food and food that contains toxins and carcinogens);Lack of exercise,and;Environmental contaminants. Your dog’s and cat's best defense against cancer and other diseases is a strong immune system: Diet plays a big role in a dog’s and cat's ability to maintain a healthy immune system. If you are feeding commercial dry or wet food (kibble), knowing how to choose a quality product is essential for your dog’s and cat's physical and mental health and well being;And please don't make the mistake of assuming that the price of a product is reflective of that products quality and safety - it is not."

"text": "Related Articles The Best Way to Sand Down & Refinish a Deck How to Resurface Cracked & Splintered Wood Decks How to Sand a Redwood Deck Deck Sanding & Staining There are two extreme approaches to sanding a deck and a more moderate one. On one hand, you can sand with handheld sanders, but despite the considerable effort required, the results are likely to be spotty. Alternatively, you can try the power approach and use a conventional flooring drum sander, but you run the risk of seriously scratching and damaging the wood. The middle way is to use a flooring orbital sander. If you wash the deck to reduce the amount of grunge the machine has to remove, it can give you excellent results with minimal effort.1Sweep the deck with a hard bristle push broom. Reset any fasteners that have popped, driving screws with a drill and a No. 2 Phillips bit and nails with a hammer. Reattach warped boards that have pulled away from the joists with 3-inch decking screws.2Mix a solution of warm water and detergent in a bucket and use it to mop the deck. Rinse the deck with clear water afterward, then give the wood at least 24 hours to dry. While it is drying, remove debris from the gaps between boards with a paint scraper.3Sand the deck with an orbital floor sander."

"text": "\"Cat Nutrition & Food Cats Cat Health & Wellness What's Wrong With By-Products in Cat Food By Franny Syufy Updated 01/06/18Share Pin Email Yuri F / Getty Images Most cat experts recommend premium brands of cat food that avoid ingredients like by-products and chicken meal, etc. However, feral cats eat a whole rodent or whole bird. Sometimes they leave things like feathers or the head behind, but otherwise, the cat is consuming the whole body of an animal. It seems like the cheaper brands, as long as they don't contain carbohydrate fillers, would be closer to a natural diet than the premium brands in this case. Why isn't this the case? Byproducts in Cat Food While it's true that cats in the wild eat the whole bodies of their catch (including the heads in some cases), the term \"\" meat by-products\"\" has become a \"\"dirty word\"\" to many cat experts, because of its misuse by some members of the cat food industry. As a result, experts have traditionally counseled readers to avoid all by-products for this reason. ( If you get a chance to read Ann Martin's gruesome but eye-opening book, \"\"Food Pets Die For,\"\" you will see examples of the sort of things food manufacturers can legally put into their foods under the classification of \"\"meat byproducts. \"\" The founders of the Feline Future website analyzed the ingredients and nutritional properties of foods cats eat in the wild over a period of a decade or more, and the result was their \"\"recipe\"\" for the Feline Future raw food diet for cats - one which has set the standards for raw feeding, to this day. Actually, they do use a larger proportion of meat to internal organs."

"text": "Stimulants: Damage to Heart and Lungs Heart The heart really takes a beating when stimulants are abused. A stimulant forces the heart to work harder, creating a strain on the whole cardiovascular system. The blood pressure goes up. One’s heart rhythm may become irregular and a person may suffer chest pain. If there is an undetected heart problem, abuse of stimulants can be fatal. For example, if a person suffers from a thickening of the muscle, stimulant abuse can result in a blockage or even death. Methamphetamine is known to lead to irregular heartbeats, bleeding in the brain and congestive heart failure. Ecstasy can increase blood pressure to dangerous levels and cause fainting and a life-threatening rise in body temperature. If a person gets dehydrated from dancing all night and not drinking enough water, heart failure can occur. Adderall has been reported to be involved in 20 heart attacks and 12 strokes, most of them in children."

On one hand, canned dog foods tend to have higher-quality and fewer preservatives and fillers for your Frenchie. On the other hand, the dry dog foods sold by reputable dog food companies can be just as nutritionally balanced as their wet counterparts. Dry foods often have more meat by-products. Kibble will let your Frenchie satisfy his or her urge to chew, and it helps knock tartar off of your French bulldog's teeth. When using wet/canned dog food you should schedule in much more \"\"tooth brushing\"\" time! But also if you have an older French bulldog with delicate gums, or is missing teeth, wet food might be the way to go way to go. Dry food tends to be less expensive and is easier to store. Also if you start with canned/wet food remember that your Frenchie will likely become spoiled, making it hard to go back to dry food. Always pick nutritionally balanced food, the highest quality!"

This artificially produced white powder is often used in our everyday foods, like yogurt, sauces and salad dressings, sometimes without us even realizing it. The truth is that maltodextrin can be considered a metabolism death food — it lacks nutritional value, and there are some pretty scary maltodextrin dangers to consider before opening up a bag of chips or baked goods, such as spiking blood sugar. The good news is that there are healthier, more natural substitutes for maltodextrin, and some of them may already be sitting in your kitchen cabinet. What Is Maltodextrin? Maltodextrin is used as a thickener, filler or preservative in many processed foods. It’s an artificially produced white powder that can be enzymatically derived from any starch, most commonly made from corn, rice, potato starch or wheat. Although maltodextrin comes from natural foods, it’s highly processed. The starch goes through a process called partial hydrolysis, which uses water, enzymes and acids to break down the starch and create the water-soluble white powder. When the powder is added to food, it thickens the product, prevents crystallization and helps bind ingredients together. ("

"text": "\"Brazing vs. Welding Welding joins metals by melting and fusing them together, usually with the addition of a welding filler metal. The joints produced are strong, usually as strong as the metals joined or even stronger. In order to fuse the metals, a concentrated heat is applied directly to the joint area. This heat is high temperature. It must be - in order to melt the \"\"base\"\" metals (the metals being joined) and the filler metals as well. So welding temperatures start at the melting point of the base metals. Because welding heat is intense, it is impractical to apply it uniformly over a broad area. Welding heat is typically localized, pinpointed heat. This has its advantages. For example, if you want to join two small strips of metal at a single point, an electrical resistance welding setup is very practical."

November 7, 2011 by Guest Poster 46 Comments The following post is from Katie of Kitchen Stewardship:source: Mary Amanda Thompson With holiday baking coming up and gift season to boot, I’ve been thinking again about the safety of silicone bakeware. Silicone pans, baking mats, and cooking utensils are not only a huge trend in the common culture but also touted as a way to “bake green” since you can avoid throwing away aluminum foil or parchment paper if you use and reuse silicone baking mats. They make great gifts since they’re generally both cute and affordable. But is silicone really a safe choice for your health? I’ve been using the baking mats for years under the pretense that silicone is safe, especially compared to the hazards of aluminum and the many safety issues surrounding Teflon. It seems that a few times a year, I’m asked to explain my rationale for choosing silicone bakeware, and since I can never remember the answer, it’s time to officially revisit that issue: Is silicone bakeware safe? Can it leach into the food or offgas into the air? The Composition of Silicone Silicone is a synthetic (man-made) material created by bonding silicon with oxygen. I think I often type “ silicon baking mats” but that’s wrong – silicone is the material in the bakeware."

"text": "\"Brazing fluxes remove oxides and contaminants from base materials to ensure good-quality brazed joints. Flux selection depends on the base-material and filler-metal type, heat source, and application method. Brazing joins similar and dissimilar materials by heating them in the presence of filler metal having a liquidus above 840º F and below the solidus of the base material. During brazing, filler metal flows between fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action. Brazing permits the joining of dissimilar materials. Also, heat from brazing is less damaging than that from welding, causing little or no metal vaporization, grain growth, intergranular precipitation, stress corrosion, or distortion. Further, brazed joints have higher strength than do soft-soldered joints. Flux plays an important role in nearly all air-brazing processes. Use of the wrong flux can compromise joint quality. This article offers information on selecting the right brazing flux."

For a brief overview on the history of martial arts in general, look at the martial arts “ History ” section of Encarta Encyclopedia. The phrases Kung Fu and Wushu have both come to indicate Chinese “martial arts.” But technically, Kung Fu refers to accomplishing a skill, while Wushu refers to warlike techniques, or martial arts in general.

The British actress, who was previously cast in “Non-Stop,” is the latest addition to director Joshua Newton’s controversial movie. “ An American Mystery” promises an objective look at one of the the most infamous trials in American history. The Wrap has the film’s budget at $65 million and reports that it could be finished in time for a 2014 summer release, just in time for the murder’s 20th anniversary. A press release for the movie reveals that “Ms. Kirk’s portrayal of Nicole Brown-Simpson will span the period from when she first met the famed running back as an 18 year old in 1977 to her untimely death in 1994.” ( It also boasts a number of former politicians and retired athletes as the folks “behind the movie. ”)As late as May of this year, Simpson was in and out of court in connection with the theft of memorabilia from a Las Vegas Hotel room. Simpson, now 65, is currently serving a jail sentence that could last as long as 33 years. According to the press release, Simpson “expressed interest” in working on the movie, “an offer that was flatly rejected” by the Newton, who is writing and directing."

"text": "Ohio State football coach resigns after players 'traded jerseys' for tattoos and cars By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 11:42 EDT, 31 May 20111View comments Ohio State University's Jim Tressel, one of America's top college football coaches, has quit after several of his players allegedly traded memorabilia for services such as tattoos and car rentals. Five players on his 12-1 team in 2010, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, traded memorabilia including championship rings and uniforms for cash in violation of strict rules governing college sports. Quit: Coach Tressel has left Ohio after players allegedly used memorabilia to pay for goods and services, in violation of NCAA rules NCAA regulators are particularly keen to establish how Pryor was able to afford to drive a string of high performance motor cars since arriving on campus three years ago. Speaking after his resignation, former coach Tressel said: 'After meeting with university officials we agreed it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign. ' We know that God has a plan for us and we will be fine. ' We will be Buckeyes forever. ' Tressel, who already been fined $250,000 by the university, has been accused of lying to NCAA investigators in a bid to cover up the code violations. According to strict NCAA rules, players are not allowed to receive benefits or cash for playing in the state team - a situation that can see star players on the cusp of professional careers struggling to afford basic luxuries. The revelations came as a startling fall for the coach who wrote books about faith and integrity while sidestepping several major NCAA violations over the years. They dated to his days as the ultra successful coach at Youngstown State, where he won four Division I-AA national titles, through a decade as Ohio State's coach where he posted a 106-22 record."

( The spelling of the Gray family name was changed to \"\"Grey\"\" sometime during the late 1890s.) As a youth in Ohio, he developed interests in fishing, baseball and writing. All three pursuits would later bring him acclaim. Grey's baseball prowess led to a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania's Dental Department. He graduated in 1896 with a degree in dentistry, but chose to play amateur baseball for several seasons, practicing dentistry intermittently. He established his own dental practice in New York City in 1898. While residing in New York, he continued to play baseball. He loved to get away from the city, and began visiting Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania. There he fished and enjoyed the outdoors as in his youth."

He was 86. With a guitar propped on his knee and six-shooters holstered on his hips, the crinkly eyed Rogers became a hero to the staunch fans of his TV show and nearly 100 movies, popular enough to eventually have a roast beef fast-food chain named after him, as he tamed the West with his characteristic heart and compassion. A practitioner of minimal violence, he much preferred to shoot the pistol out of a gunslinger's hand than actually harm the man, his vileness notwithstanding. In midcentury America, when celluloid prairie life captivated the nation, the redoubtable Rogers was the \"\"King of the Cowboys,\"\" his wife and co-star Dale Evans the \"\"Queen of the West\"\" and Trigger, Rogers' wonder horse, the \"\"Smartest Horse in the Movies. \"\" Following their exploits on the Double-R-Bar Ranch, along with those of Buttermilk, Miss Evans' buckskin horse, and Bullet, their German shepherd, was an essential rite of growing up. Children ate from Roy Rogers lunchboxes, played with Roy Rogers cut-out dolls and slept on Roy Rogers bedsheets, dreaming of being musical buckaroos themselves. Who could forget Trigger rearing up majestically while Roy Rogers waves his hand toward the cerulean Western sky? Who couldn't sing along as Roy and Dale shook off trail dust and broke into \"\"Happy Trails to You,\"\" their signature song that Miss Evans wrote? Who didn't ache for just one chance to meet the hero in the flesh and drawl, \"\"Howdy, pardner\"\"? \"\" Today there will be a lot of sad and grateful Americans, especially of my generation, because of his career,\"\" said President Clinton, a boyhood fan of Rogers'."

Though I never thought Humphrey Bogart had much of a range as an actor, he portrays the jilted and bitter Rick absolutely brilliantly in what was originally just a “B” movie. This classic film examines the relationships and life of a cold hearted business man who runs a club in Casa Blanca, Africa, which is on the refugee trail for Europeans (escaping the horrors of World War II) heading for America. Rick “sticks his neck out for no one” until one day when the beautiful Ingrid Bergman steps into his club accompanied by her hero husband portrayed by actor Paul Henreid. From this point we discover the character Rick is much more of a hero deep down than anyone imagined. Claude Rains provides a great contrast portraying the local playboy, out only for himself “poor corrupt government official.” In the end, these characters stand up to the Nazi war machine as they embark on the “start of a beautiful friendship.”"

There’s more to Bruce than you think. In 1999, Time Magazine named Bruce Lee one of the most influential people of the century. He inspired – and continues to inspire – millions of people, 40 years after his death, through his trailblazing work in martial arts, film and fitness. He was an international superstar but for Asian Pacific Americans, he was much more. While his one-inch punch raised the bar for martial artists, his skill, hard work, and determination to break media stereotypes of Asian Pacific Americans was game-changing in advancing racial equality.

In this context, a hand prop will refer to an item held in the actor's hand during filming a scene or scenes within a movie or television show. A hand prop is any knife, cup, cellular phone, medical instrument, handgun, rifle or any other common everyday thing that an actor can pick up and hold. For the purposes of this discussion we will concentrate only on the not-so-everyday type items, i.e. the hand prop seen within science fiction/fantasy movies and television shows. Millions of people have been touched by the awe and wonder of these movies and TV shows. Within their dramatic action nature, the protagonist is usually portrayed in a very heroic manner where the fate of the entire planet, or even the universe, hangs in the balance. Some viewers have been caught up in these high adventures and identify with that hero. This is one reason for the desirability of these collectibles, especially the aptly-named \"\"hero\"\" prop."

[ 1] The card was designed and issued by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) from 1909 to 1911 as part of its T206 series. Wagner refused to allow production of his baseball card to continue, either because he did not want children to buy cigarette packs to get his card, or because he wanted more compensation from the ATC. The ATC ended production of the Wagner card and a total of only 50 to 200 cards were ever distributed to the public (exact number unknown), as compared to the \"\"tens or hundreds of thousands\"\" of T206 cards, over three years in sixteen brands of cigarettes, for any other player. [ 2] In 1933, the card was first listed at a price value of US$ 50 in Jefferson Burdick 's The American Card Catalog, making it the most expensive baseball card in the world at the time. The most famous T206 Honus Wagner is the \"\"Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner\"\" card. The card's odd texture and shape led to speculation that it was altered. The Gretzky T206 Wagner was first sold by Alan Ray to a baseball memorabilia collector named Bill Mastro, who sold the card two years later to Jim Copeland for nearly four times the price he had originally paid. Copeland's sizable transaction revitalized interest in the sports memorabilia collection market. In 1991, Copeland sold the card to ice hockey figures Wayne Gretzky and Bruce Mc Nall for $451,000."

We have done this consistently on many of our projects including multiple 60,000 sq.ft. and 80,000 sq.ft. co-location data centers. However, on many of our projects, we have been required to use plenum-rated cable. It doesn't matter whether or not there are sprinklers under the floor. Even though the National Electric Code permits non-plenum cable under a raised floor under certain circumstances, the final decision on which cable can be used is up to the Fire Marshall signing off on your project. In some cities and some states, plenum-rated cable is required no matter what you do. We suggest that either your organization or your General Contractor on behalf of your organization contact the Fire Marshall for your project before completing a cabling RFP and seek written permission to use non-plenum communications cable under the raised floor.

"text": "Business license requirements are a fact of life for nearly every size and type of business in the United States. Certain types of businesses, such as restaurants, may face numerous federal, state and local requirements, but even businesses operated from home may require licenses. What’s more, business license compliance goes beyond starting a business. Many licenses and permits require periodic renewals. Beyond periodic renewals, any change in business operations, whether it’s a change in the name of the business or the opening of a new location, can trigger the need for new or amended business licenses. Even going out of business may have licensing ramifications. This White Paper explores the types of federal, state and local business licenses, permits and registrations your business may initially require in preparation for opening your business for customers. In our companion piece, we discuss on-going compliance, provide pointers on compliance and alert you to the potential consequences of non-compliance. Obtaining Licenses: Be Ready For Opening Day Although the need for licensing exists throughout the business life cycle, it is most critical to address licensing needs during the startup stage. Failure to determine what licenses are required and to allow sufficient time to obtain them can mean a delayed opening."

"text": "\"Fire Alarm System Purchasing Guide Introduction to the Fire Alarm System Buying Process Table of Contents - Trends - Types - Devices - Alerts - Monitoring - Choosing a Dealer Introduction Fire alarm systems are one of the most valuable components to any business. Protecting life, inventory, and property, they are required by law for companies operating throughout the United States and often provide discounts on insurance rates in some cases. By necessity, no two systems are the same. Each is custom tailored and installed with specific business processes in mind. For example, a system engineered for a casino or lodge will be vastly different than one designed for a kitchen or facility housing large banks of mainframe computers. This focus on special circumstances is what elevates a fire alarm system from the basic smoke alarms available in hardware stores. Basic design Large buildings or commercial sites that support multiple structures, such as a retail strip mall or office complex, require extensive planning before fire alarm installation takes place to ensure the system performs as expected and meets all local fire codes and insurance requirements. In fact, many cities require a schematic layout of all components to be submitted and approved before installation. Regardless of the size of your business, the fire alarm system must be spread throughout your facility with components such as lights, sirens, and detectors placed within a specific range of feet. Placing is determined by the dimensions of a room measured in square feet or the length of a corridor."

Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause brain damage and death. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it; but carbon monoxide can kill you. Because carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas, it is known as the \"\"silent killer. \"\" Carbon monoxide is produced by common household appliances. When not properly ventilated, carbon monoxide emitted by these appliances can build up. See the list of appliances that can emit carbon monoxide in this article under Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Causes. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue, are often mistaken for the flu because the deadly gas goes undetected in a home. Prolonged exposure can lead to brain damage and even death. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Causes Carbon monoxide is formed when organic compounds burn."

"text": "Miscellaneous Compliance Requires Proper Placement Share By Allan B. Colombo Published In November 2008This trade depends on National Electrical Code compliance, especially where it involves device placement and connectivity. Knowing how to install initiation and notification appliance devices is integral to the fire safety mission, and electrical contractors (ECs) who routinely work in this low-voltage segment know all about this. One question that arises among apprentices and entry-level journeymen is, “How high off the floor and how close to the door do I install these devices?” Knowing the correct answer can mean the difference between a green or red sticker on final inspection. Although installing to Code is important, the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) must also be on board with whatever the EC does. This is why fire alarm technicians must turn in a submittal package to the local building department for examination and approval. This package usually consists of one or more blueprints that show the position of every device, in addition to product specification sheets, voltage drop and current calculations and other information. The bottom line is, before the job can commence, the plans examiner must approve the submittal package that the EC or subcontractor provides. Only then is work legally allowed to start. In order to have reliable, dependable fire alarm operation—whether the building occupants are in California or Florida—standardization using NFPA 72, 101 and 70 is a must."

In many cases, employers are unsure of what documents the compliance officer is entitled to see and copy. Employers can also be unsure of how long to retain certain documents required under OSHA. Some OSHA regulations require a specific retention period for documents. Other OSHA regulations, however, do not (although it is often advisable to retain certain documents even if retention is not technically required). This article is intended to give general guidance in these areas.

Get Free Fire Alarm System Price Quotes Compare Commercial Fire Alarm System Prices Every business needs a professionally installed fire alarm system. It's not just a good safety practice; it's the law. Local building codes and federal occupational safety standards require compliance with fire alarm system regulations. Commercial fire alarm systems are triggered by smoke, rapid changes in temperature, or flames. When a smoke or heat detector is activated it triggers a central monitoring system that sounds an alarm throughout the building to warn employees. Simultaneously, it notifies the fire department. In many cases, central monitoring systems are also connected to sprinkler systems that contain the fire. Fire Alarm System Average Costs The cost of your system will depend on the size of your building, local building codes, and the complexity of installation. Generally, fire alarm systems are more expensive to install in older buildings than with new construction."

"text": "\"Survey Guide to Insurance Surveysby David Pascoe Introduction The insurance survey, Condition and Value survey or C&V as it is often referred to, is a type of survey intended for use by insurance companies for evaluating whether or not they wish to insure a particular vessel. For over 30 years surveyors have been providing this type of survey. But, unfortunately, the insurance industry has never set a standard as to the nature and extent of information that they require, and so surveyors have largely been left to guess at the kind of information that different insurance companies want. This guide will assist the surveyor in identifying the most appropriate information to be covered in the survey and report. Insurance surveys can also serve as an appropriate format when lending institutions request \"\"appraisals.\"\" While there is no commonly accepted format for anyone who requests an appraisal, but the insurance survey format fills this purpose quite well. C&V Defined: An insurance survey is a limited form of survey that is intended to assist insurance underwriters in making underwriting decisions. The survey has two primary purposes: (1) to identify the vessel, its equipment, condition and general value, and (2) to identify defects, damages or hazardous conditions that pose a potential threat to the safety of the vessel and its passengers, or any other such condition that is likely to result in loss or damage. Insurance surveys should never be provided to a client who is purchasing a vessel for the purpose of making a purchase decision. A report format consisting of both a pre designed form and narrative description is recommended."

"text": "\"Buy Photo (Photo: Larry Mc Cormack / THE TENNESSEAN)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORERed and white tents are popping up in fields and parking lots in Middle Tennessee in anticipation of July 4. \"\" Sales vary from tent to tent based on location,\"\" said Scott Walters, who helps run a fireworks stand in the parking lot of Clearview Plaza Shopping Center. Fireworks are everywhere, it seems, but just because they are readily available doesn't mean that they can be legally set off. Laws on fireworks vary from city to city and county to county. In Nashville, shooting individual fireworks is prohibited, but in neighboring Wilson County residents can watch the rockets' red glare from the comfort of their front yard. Davidson County Fireworks and fireworks stands are not allowed in the county. Residents must leave the county to shoot fireworks. It is not, however, illegal to buy or possess fireworks. Despite the rules, Metro police know they will get calls about residents shooting fireworks in the city. \"\" We respond to complaints in neighborhoods and work with the fire department,\"\" Metro spokeswoman Kris Mumford said. \"\""

"text": "Every summer the question comes up: Can you buy fireworks in your state? Most attempts at an answer point to the American Pyrotechnics Association ‘s handy map of state laws, but they fail to note the not-so-fine print that reads, “47 states plus the District of Columbia allow some or all types of consumer fireworks. ”That “some” makes all the difference, especially on the Fourth of July, when the stakes are high. There is a major categorical difference between ground-based spark-spitters like sparklers and roman candles and real fireworks. And when I say real, I mean something that shoots up into the sky and goes boom—approximating, albeit at a backyard level, the experience you get from display fireworks a city or sports team might put on. Read next: 15 Ways to Celebrate the Fourth of July Under $10State by state legality of authentic capital-F Fireworks is much more tightly controlled, due to the dangerous nature of these pyrotechnics, which can contain up to two grains of explosive material—typically the maximum allowed if a state uses the DOT’s classifications for consumer fireworks. But some states still do allow individuals to purchase these boom-in-the-air types of fireworks, which commonly include mortar shells that get shot up by a charge like a cannon and skyrockets, which have a little rocket motor that propels them into the sky. Using data compiled by the American Pyrotechnics Association, we put together a map of the country, showing where aerial, explosive fireworks are permitted. ( Yes, it does match up uncannily well with the traditional map of red states and blue states.) They are legal in green states, banned in red states, and sort of legal in yellow states."

Chinese firecracker roll A firecracker ( cracker, noise maker, banger, or bunger [1]) is a small explosive device primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise, especially in the form of a loud bang; any visual effect is incidental to this goal. They have fuses, and are wrapped in a heavy paper casing to contain the explosive compound. Firecrackers, along with fireworks, originated in China.

The Chinese name for firecrackers, 爆竹（ baozhu ）, literally means \"\"exploding bamboo.\"\" [ 3] After the invention of gunpowder, gunpowder firecrackers had a shape that resembled bamboo and produced a similar sound, so the name \"\"exploding bamboo\"\" was retained.

"text": "D/P, D/A and Their Use in International Sales Transactions Most sellers are very familiar with Open Account (O/A) and Letter of Credit (L/C) transactions. In the international arena, open account sales are regarded as having the most risk; letter of credit transactions as having the least. Between these two poles, however, are two lesser-known transaction types: Documents Against Payment (D/P) and Documents Against Acceptance (D/A). These represent risk levels lower than an O/A, but greater than an L/C. Both rely on an instrument widely used in international trade called a bill of exchange or draft. Bill of Exchange / Draft A bill of exchange, or draft, is a negotiable instrument that is both drawn up by and made payable to the exporter/seller. Although written by the seller, it has the equivalent effect of a check written by the buyer. It is generally a three-party instrument consisting of a: Drawer – the party issuing the bill of exchange; usually the exporter/seller. Drawee – the recipient of the bill of exchange for payment or acceptance; usually the buyer. Payee – the party to whom the bill is payable; usually the seller’s bank. Bills of exchange are either payable at sight ( sight drafts) where the bank pays the full amount upon presentation, or payable at some future date ( time or term drafts )."

They may be illegal to sell based on who/where you are and the time of year (you can’t buy most fireworks just anywhere, you have to buy from licensed dealers who operate the stands out in the middle of nowhere and typically only sell in the days before major fireworks-associated holidays like July 4, Labor Day, and New Year’s). They may also be illegal to set off, based on where and when you do so; most incorporated areas (cities/towns) ban them as a noise nuisance and a public safety hazard, while in weather conditions that breed wildfires (dry air, high winds and little recent rainfall), called “red flag warnings”, counties can enact burning bans which basically prohibit lighting anything on fire outside without an explicit permit from the county (these bans can go so far as to prohibit grilling).1k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Why do we use water in bottle rockets?

"text": "Business Day Fireworks Prohibitions Ease in Many States By STACY COWLEY JUNE 26, 2015Don Eason shows his 3-year-old twin sons the fireworks he just purchased at a stand in Newburgh, N. Y. Fred R. Conrad for The New York Times NEWBURGH, N. Y. — After stocking up on sparklers and flaming fountains, Don Eason couldn’t resist adding one more impulse buy to his incendiary items: a Fiery Frog, which promises to erupt in a column of crackling, multicolor sparks. “Daddy’s getting you a green thing, too,” he told his 3-year-old twin sons. “Green!” Devine said enthusiastically, as his brother, Daylan, waved a box of sparklers and shouted, “Fireworks!”For the first time in more than a century, shoppers like Mr. Eason can legally buy some small, consumer-grade fireworks in parts of New York State. They remain banned in New York City, but in November, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation allowing limited sales in counties that choose to permit them. More than 30 of New York’s 62 counties opted in, allowing “sparkling devices,” as the law refers to them, to be sold and used within their borders. New York’s law is the latest outcome of a nationwide movement toward relaxing fireworks restrictions. Only three states — Delaware, Massachusetts and New Jersey — still ban all consumer sales, and this year, Georgia expanded its law, allowing a broader range of products to be sold. The wave of legalization began in earnest in 2000, when Connecticut passed a limited law allowing only the sale of sparklers and fountains, said Julie L. Heckman, the executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association. Following that model, at least half a dozen states that previously had forbidden all sales changed their laws to allow residents to buy and use some types of fireworks."

Diwali (11th November 2015*): You can let fireworks off until 1am.

The substance that's gotten the most attention — because it has shown up at disturbingly high levels in some fish — is mercury.

But as a study published recently in Nature, Scientific Reports helps illuminate, sometimes fish get chemicals from the plastic debris they ingest. \"\" The ocean is basically a toilet bowl for all of our chemical pollutants and waste in general,\"\" says Chelsea Rochman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Davis, who authored the study. \"\" Eventually, we start to see those contaminants high up in the food chain, in seafood and wildlife. \"\" For many years, scientists have known that chemicals will move up the food chain as predators absorb the chemicals consumed by their prey. That's why the biggest, fattiest fish, like tuna and swordfish, tend to have the highest levels of mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other dioxins. ( And that's concerning, given that canned tuna was the second most popular fish consumed in the U. S. in 2012, according to the National Fisheries Institute. )"

"text": "\"TIPS AND TRAPS FOR FEEDING FADDY CATSCopyright 1994, Sarah Hartwell Cats are naturally careful eaters as their digestive system is not good at breaking down toxins. Because cats are so sensitive to poisons, their senses of taste and smell must prevent them from eating food which could be harmful to them. An excellent sense of smell warns them of stale or contaminated food and if their sense of smell fails, so does their appetite. Unfortunately, the same mechanism which helps cats avoid harmful foods can turn it into a faddy eater. Faddy eaters may be fixated on one or two types of food. This may lead to an unbalanced diet if its preferred foods are 'treat' foods or to problems if the food becomes unavailable. For these reasons, it's unwise to allow a cat to become a faddy eater. Unfortunately it's all too easy to be manipulated without realising it. You avoid one or two flavours because your cat isn't keen on them. It will eat them once it gets hungry enough, but it knows you will crack before it does."

"text": "\"Exploring Thai Food Asian Food Thai Food Thai Cooking Basics Cook with Banana Leaf By Darlene Schmidt Updated 04/04/17Share Pin Email Traditional Thai omelets grilled in banana leaves. Mishel Breen photography / Getty Images Banana leaves serve many purposes in Asian cooking, from adding flavor to foods cooked inside them, to simply being used as a colorful and exotic background for serving plates and party platters. Banana leaves are beautiful, fun to use, and easy to cook with! Find out how to buy banana leaves, how to cook with them, how to decorate your platters with them, and how to store extra banana leaves for use next time. Here's How: Buying Banana Leaves Banana leaves are very inexpensive to buy - a few dollars for a large pack. Buy banana leaves fresh or frozen in large, flat plastic bags at your local Asian supermarket (check the freezer if you can't find them on the shelf or in the produce section). Cooking with Banana Leaves Banana leaves can be used for baking anything \"\"wrapped\"\" - in the same way you would use tin foil or parchment paper. However, note that banana leaves are porous (unlike tin foil), so some of the \"\"sauce\"\" or juices from your food item may seep through. It's, therefore, a good idea to place your banana leaf \"\"packets\"\" in a glass casserole dish, or a tray that has sides on it, so that the juices don't drip to the bottom of your oven. Banana Leaves for Grilling/Barbecuing: You can also use banana leaf as a kind of \"\"mat\"\" for barbecuing fragile fillets of fish, smaller shrimp, or vegetables that have a danger of falling through the grill."

Found statewide, largemouth bass have excellent growth rates, particularly in the productive waters of central Florida. Historically known for huge bass, Florida remains an outstanding destination to catch a trophy. Spring is the best time of year to catch bass, when fish move into shallow water to spawn. Spawning may occur as early as January in extreme south Florida and as late as May in the panhandle, but March and April are peak months. Most large bass are taken at this time; after spawning, many large females move to offshore areas. The best live bait is a golden shiner, fished under a float or free-lined. Typically, the shiner is hooked through the lips or back with a large hook, 2/0 to 5/0. A medium to medium-heavy rod with 14- to 20-pound test line is preferred, particularly when fishing in areas with thick vegetation or cover. The plastic worm is the most dependable artificial bait for largemouth bass."

"text": "How Long Does Sushi Last? History of Sushi: Before we get to the question of how long does Sushi last, there is a rich history worth exploring. Sushi, a favorite Japanese cuisine, has become extremely popular in the U. S. in recent years and consists of raw fish and cooked vinegared rice. The origin of sushi began in Southeast Asia, but todays version was created by Hanaya Yohei (1799-1858) as a form of fast food to be eaten soon after purchase with ones hands. The first appearance of Sushi in America was in 1953, served at the Japanese Embassy in Washington. Sashimi, a Japanese delicacy, is fresh fish served sliced very thin without the vinegar rice that defines sushi. So, now you know the history... How long does Sushi Last? Sushi, as it is prepared with fresh fish, is intended to be eaten within 24 hours of preparation. When properly stored in the refrigerator, fresh Sushi and Sashimi last for the time periods indicated in the table below: Sushi Expiration Date Refrigerator After Preparation Sushi lasts for 24 Hours Sashimi lasts for 24 Hours Poke lasts for 24 Hours Because sushi and sashimi are consumed raw, the bacteria may grow and become dangerous if left out. Thus, regardless of any dates, you should NOT eat sushi or sashimi beyond their 24 hour expiration."

By cultivating your own live food you can ensure that it is disease free, thereby greatly reducing the risk of getting outbreaks of ill health in your aquarium. What you need: One small glass tank (the hatching tank) One bigger glass tank (the growing tank) One sheet of rigid plastic One small stainless steel self tapping screw Dedicated air supply for both tanks, e.g. airstones One bag of sea salt Brine shrimp eggs A flashlight or similar source of light If you want your brine shrimp to grow really big, you can set up a third tank to provide the growing specimens with more room. How to go about: Divide the tank into two parts, one part being 2/3 or the tank. You can for instance use rigid plastic as a divider. Cut a 1 ½ inch hole in the centre of the divider. This whole will allow the shrimp to swim through. Do not attach the divider yet, because you will be doing some work on it. Black out the 2/3 part of the tank, including the lid. Your aim is to create a dark area inside the tank, while leaving 1/3 of the tank non-dark."

If they have been thawed out for more then 15 minutes at room temperature or thawed out in the refrigerator for more then 2 hours, then you cannot refreeze them. Bacteria starts growing on any fish within minutes of being thawed out, if at room temperature. If in the refrigerator, bacteria starts to grow after 30 to 35 minutes, however since the refrigerator is cooler the fish is usually safe for about 2 hours without being cooked. If the fish has been thawed out longer then what I have stated above, then you must throw them away by the safest means possible without them putting an odor in your house. You can do this in several ways. For example; wrap them in plastic very tightly, put in bag and throw away. Wrap tightly in newspaper, put in bag and throw away.source: Is it okay to freeze thawed fish sticks? Was this answer helpful?"

Figure 135Growing your own baby fish228 You may find that it is best to grow your own baby fish. It is easier and cheaper than getting them from a fish culture station or another fish farmer.229 Also, if you are going to improve your fish farm by building more ponds, it is better to have your own supply of baby fish.230 When you grow your own baby fish, you will always be sure to have enough of them when you need them for your big pond.231 To grow your own baby fish, you will need a nursery pond. You can use an old small pond as a nursery pond or you can build a new nursery pond.232 A nursery pond can be built just like a big pond, but since the nursery pond is smaller the banks need not be as high or as wide.233 You can build your nursery pond with an inlet, outlet and overflow like those you used in your big pond. Figure 136234 You will also need a crib to hold the fertilizer in your nursery pond.235 If you build your nursery pond next to your big pond so that they share a bank, you will only need to build three new banks for it.236 If you grow baby fish near your pond, you will not have to carry them far so they will not be hurt by carrying.237 Fill your nursery pond with water and fertilize it with compost, animal manure or plant material as you did with your big pond. Wait for the water to turn green.238 Now you are ready to put fully grown male and female fish into your nursery pond. Figure 137239 Be careful to put the right number of male fish and female fish into your nursery pond. The drawing shows you how to see the difference between male and female tilapia.240 If you are using a pond of 10 by 10 metres as a nursery pond and you are using Tilapia nilotica, you will need to put 20 fully grown male fish and 80 fully grown female fish into the pond. Figure 138Figure 139Feeding the fish in your nursery pond241 The fully grown fish in your nursery pond will get much of their food from small plants and animals grown in the green water.242 When the baby fish are born they will be very, very small and at first they will get all of their food from small plants and animals that grow in the green water.243 These plants and animals are so small that they can hardly be seen or they cannot be seen at all."

As we know, all types of food products stay fresh for a different length of time and there are a number of factors that can affect the shelf life of a certain food. Not only does the shelf life of your food depend on the way in which it has been stored at home; the way it has been handled, treated and stored before arriving at your local supermarket also plays a crucial role in how long your food will stay fresh. This is extremely important particularly when dealing with highly perishable foods such as fresh meat, fish and poultry and to a slightly lesser degree, fresh fruit and vegetables. There are many ways in which you can get the best out of your food and ensure that it stays as fresh as possible for as long as possible and below we have included some useful information and tips on how to store certain foods and for how long. Buying your food Where you buy your food is very important. You should always buy your food, especially highly perishable products and products that are susceptible to contamination, from a reliable source. Advertisements It is usually better to buy fresh produce from a big supermarket where there is a high turnover and the shelves are refilled every day. However, some supermarkets have large warehouses and storerooms where fresh food could be sitting in cardboard boxes for days before they are taken out onto the shop floor and stored correctly.

Best baits to use When talking about Striped Bass (Morone saxatilus), it is important to keep in mind that, even though Science still considers them one species, there are two distinct varieties: The anadromous, inshore Stripped Bass, and the land-locked, freshwater Striped Bass, also known as a Striper, or Rockfish. They have very different culinary preferences. Land-locked Striped Bass came into being soon after completion of the dams across the Santee and Cooper rivers in South Carolina. Built as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal, and completed in 1942, these dams created Lake Moultrie, and Lake Marion reservoirs. They also trapped populations of Striped Bass in the lakes, cutting off their migration route back to the sea. It was discovered shortly, that not only were they surviving, they were flourishing. It wasn’t long before they were stocked in large reservoirs across the US, and even crossed with their close cousins, the White Bass, to create the sterile Hybrid Bass, slightly smaller, but able to tolerate warmer water.

They accumulate as byproducts from eating treated and contaminated food, breathing industrial emissions, and repeatedly using products such as plastic microwave bags, fast-food containers, plastic water bottles, nail polish, and household cleansers, to name just a few. More than 80,000 chemicals have been registered with the EPA since World War II, with at least 2,000 new ones added every year in the U. S. alone, and it’s not slowing down. We’re all vulnerable to toxic exposure, including children. PCBs and DDT have been detected, for example, in 50% and 70% respectively of kids as young as four years old.

With speckled trout more than other game fish in the Coastal Bend, determining what size fish you are targeting and what type of diet they have is the key to choosing artificial baits and the size of the bait. Lures that imitate shrimp and small fish will provide larger numbers of small to medium size fish, while lures that match the action of a larger fish will give slower action, but larger fish when they do hit. Spoons for Speckled Trout While both gold and silver spoons are effective in catching speckled trout, silver is probably the most effective. If targeting both speckled trout and redfish, gold may be the better option. The spoons undulating action provides a vibration and flash that is tantalizing to speckled trout. A rule of thumb with spoons and other artificial baits is the cooler the water, the slower the retrieve. Bait fish tend to move more slowly during cold weather, so should the lure that you are using to imitate them. In addition to trying different speeds of retrieve, vary the depth and action of your spoon. Burn it along the top of grass, let it drop into pot holes, and run it at varied depths along cuts."

Microorganisms multiply in the food and diseased pests getting at the food will cause food to go bad. Food preservation prevents pests and microorganisms from spoiling food. Without good preservation, food could not be transported far and famines would happen more often around the world. Food poisoning would also happen more frequently without proper food preservation."

have the ability to change shape as their cytoplasm flows into temporary formless cytoplasmic projections called pseudopods (false feet); ex: Entamoeba histolyticaamoeboid motion a crawling type of movement caused by the flow of cytoplasm into plasma membrane projections (pseudopods); typical of the amoebaspseudopods \"\"false-feet\"\"; a projection of the plasma membrane that allows movement for the amoebas; capture bacteria, small algae, and other protozoa through the ingestive process of phagocytosis; enclose the particles to form an organelle called a food vacuole, which then joins with lysosomesciliates covered with cilia which covers the whole entire body of the cell and allow them to move; ex: Balantidium coliacomplexans no cilia or flagella; these animal parasites have a complex life cycle including alternating sexual and asexual reproductive phases; these phases often occur in different hosts; require two or more different hosts to complete their life cycle - definitive and intermediate; ex: Plasmodium and Toxoplasmadefinitive host the host organism in which the sexual cycle occurs; an organism that harbors the adult, sexually mature form of a parasiteintermediate host the host organism in which the asexual cycle occurs; the host in which the larval or asexual stage of a parasite is found Leishmaniasis a vector born disease; biological vector: female sandfly; caused by Leishmania (flagellated), which can cause a cutaneous disease (Leishmania major) or a visceral disease (Leishmania donovani)Leishmania major flagellated; causes a minor cutaneous disease with ulcerative sores; called the \"\"Baghdad boil\"\"Leishmania donovani causes a visceral (body organ) disease called kala azar, meaning \"\"black fever\"\"; symptoms do not appear until several months after being bitten by a sandfly; infection of the white blood cells leads to irregular bouts of fever, swollen spleen and liver, progressive anemia, and emaciation; 90% of cases are fatal, if not treated Amoebiasis second leading cause of death from parasite diseases; parasitic form of gastroenteritis that occurs worldwide and primarily affects children and adults who are undernourished and living in unsanitary conditions; caused by Entamoeba histolytica - has pseudopodia; symptoms often are quite mild and can include diarrhea, stomach pain, and stomach cramping; the trophozoites multiply by binary fission and produce cysts, which are passed in the feces Entamoeba histolytica causative agent of amoebiasis; has pseudopodia; in nature, the protozoan exists in the cyst form, which enters the body by food or water contaminated with human or animal feces; the cysts pass through the stomach and emerge as amoebal trophozoites in the distant portion of the small intestine and in the large intestineamoebic dysentery a more severe form of amoebiasis; patients experience stomach pain, bloody stools, and fever; in rare cases, the parasites invade the blood and spread to the liver, lung, or brain, where fatal abscesses may develop Giardiasis most commonly detected protozoal disease of the intestinal tract; the disease is sometimes mistaken for viral gastroenteritis and is considered a type of traveler's diarrhea; caused by Giardia intestinalis (also called G. lamblia) - flagellated; commonly transmitted by food or water containing Giardia cysts and oral-fecal route;

caused by apicomplexans Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis; transmitted through close physical contact and also through contaminated water; immunocompromised patients have cholera-like diarrhea - these patients undergo dehydration and emaciation, and often die of the disease Cryptosporidium parvum and C hominis apicomplexans - no movement - that cause the major infection Cryptosporidiosis Cyclosporidiosis caused by the apicomplexan Cyclospora cayetanensis; transmitted through fresh produce and contaminated water; symptoms include abdominal cramping, flatulence, and diarrhea Trichomoniasis sexually transmitted disease; caused by Trichomonas vaginalis - flagellated; the incubation period is 5 to 28 days; in females: trichomoniasis is accompanied by intense itching (uticaria) and discomfort during urination and sexual intercourse; usually, a yellow-green, frothy discharge also is present; in males: asymptomatic Trichomonas vaginalis flagellated; causes Trichomoniasis; only has a trophozoite stage - definitive host is human Malaria blood disease caused by four species of the apicomplexan genus Plasmodium: P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum; biological vector: female Anapheles mosquito - its a reservoir; going to have profound anemia; small blood clots released in the body can cause damage to the small vessels which affect your heart, kidney, and liver, and your brain Anapheles mosquito female; biological vector of Malaria; being infected with Plasmodium causes it to bite more than it usually would Plasmodium acomplexan genus that causes the blood disease malaria Trypanosomiasis general name for two diseases caused by the parasitic species Trypanosoma - flagellated; the two diseases caused: African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease - both have different vectors African Sleeping Sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei - flagellated; biological vector: tsetse fly;

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 31 Types of Invertebrates Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated October 24, 2017We all know that invertebrates lack backbones, but the differences among the various types of invertebrates go a lot deeper than that. On the following slides, you'll discover the 31 different groups, or phyla, of invertebrates, ranging from amoeba-like placozoans that stick to the sides of fish tanks to marine animals, like octopuses, that can achieve a near-vertebrate level of intelligence.01of 31Placozoans (Phylum Placozoa)Getty Images Considered to be the world's simplest animals, placozoans are represented by a single species: Trichoplax adherens, a small, flat, millimeter-wide blob of goo that can often be found sticking to the sides of fish tanks. This primitive invertebrate has only two tissue layers--an outer epithelium, and an inner surface of stellate, or star-shaped cells—and reproduces asexually by budding, much like an amoeba; as such, it represents an important intermediate stage between protists and true animals.02of 31Sponges (Phylum Porifera)Wikimedia Commons Essentially, the sole purpose of sponges is to filter nutrients from seawater—which is why these animals lack organs and specialized tissues, and don't even possess the bilateral symmetry characteristic of most other invertebrates. Although they seem to grow like plants, sponges actually start their lives as free-swimming larvae, which quickly take root in the sea floor (if they're not eaten by fish or other invertebrates, that is). There are about 10,000 sponge species, ranging in size from a few millimeters to more than ten feet.03of 31Jellyfish and Sea Anenomes (Phylum Cnidaria)Getty Images Cnidarians, you may not be surprised to learn, are characterized by their \"\"cnidocytes\"\"—specialized cells that literally explode when irritated by prey, and deliver painful, and often fatal, doses of venom. The jellyfish and sea anenomes that make up this phylum are more or less dangerous to human swimmers (a jellyfish can sting even when it's beached and dying), but they are invariably a peril to the small fish and other invertebrates in the world's oceans. See 10 Facts About Jellyfish .04of 31Comb Jellies (Phylum Ctenophora)Wikimedia Commons Looking a bit like a cross between a sponge and a jellyfish, comb jellies are ocean-dwelling invertebrates that move by undulating the cilia lining their bodies—and, in fact, are the largest known animals to employ this means of locomotion. Because their bodies are extremely fragile and don't tend to preserve well, it's uncertain how many types of ctenophores swim the world's oceans; there are about 100 named species, which may represent less than half of the true total.05of 31Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes)Wikimedia Commons The simplest animals to display bilateral symmetry—that is, the left sides of their bodies are mirror-images of their right sides—flatworms lack the body cavities characteristic of other vertebrates, have no specialized circulatory or respiratory systems, and ingest food and expel wastes using the same basic opening. Some flatworms live in water or damp terrestrial habitats, while others are parasites—yard-long tapeworms occasionally infest human beings, and the deadly disease schistosomiasis is caused by the flatworm Schistosoma.06of 31Mesozoans (Phylum Mesozoa)Wikimedia Commons Just how obscure are mesozoans? Well, the 50 or so identified species of this phylum are all parasites of other marine invertebrates—which means that they're tiny, almost microscopic, in size and composed of very few cells."

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)."

Modern sources have been used: the list is different from that of Linnaeus or Cuvier. A list of this type may be arranged alphabetically; but equally it might be arranged according to evolutionary relationships. No list will be completely satisfactory. Authorities differ in what they consider a phylum, and in the actual name of the phylum. Despite this, there is agreement on most phyla. Most modern surveys include groups above the phylum: superphyletic groupings based on evidence of common descent. Differences of opinion about evolutionary relationships have been reduced by the use of molecular evolution and molecular clock research. These make use of protein amino acid sequences, and whole genome DNA sequence analysis. These modern techniques have led to changes and renaming of many higher categories."

Unlike other bilaterians, they are acoelomates (having no body cavity ), and have no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs, which restricts them to having flattened shapes that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion. The digestive cavity has only one opening for both ingestion (intake of nutrients) and egestion (removal of undigested wastes); as a result, the food cannot be processed continuously. In traditional medicinal texts, Platyhelminthes are divided into Turbellaria, which are mostly non- parasitic animals such as planarians, and three entirely parasitic groups: Cestoda, Trematoda and Monogenea; however, since the turbellarians have since been proven not to be monophyletic, this classification is now deprecated. Free-living flatworms are mostly predators, and live in water or in shaded, humid terrestrial environments, such as leaf litter. Cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flukes) have complex life-cycles, with mature stages that live as parasites in the digestive systems of fish or land vertebrates, and intermediate stages that infest secondary hosts. The eggs of trematodes are excreted from their main hosts, whereas adult cestodes generate vast numbers of hermaphroditic, segment-like proglottids that detach when mature, are excreted, and then release eggs. Unlike the other parasitic groups, the monogeneans are external parasites infesting aquatic animals, and their larvae metamorphose into the adult form after attaching to a suitable host. Because they do not have internal body cavities, Platyhelminthes were regarded as a primitive stage in the evolution of bilaterians (animals with bilateral symmetry and hence with distinct front and rear ends). However, analyses since the mid-1980s have separated out one subgroup, the Acoelomorpha, as basal bilaterians—closer to the original bilaterians than to any other modern groups."

"text": "The Science of Composting While our ancestors realized that compost was helpful for growing plants and improving soil health, they did not know how or why it worked. Our knowledge about the science of composting comes from research conducted during the past 50 years – relatively recent compared to the 2000 plus years that humans have been composting. Backyard composting speeds up the natural process of decomposition, providing optimum conditions so that organic matter can break down more quickly. As you dig, turn, layer and water your compost pile, you may feel as if you are doing the composting , but the bulk of the work is actually done by numerous types of decomposer organisms. Microorganisms In A Compost Pile Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a pile. They are considered chemical decomposers, because they change the chemistry of organic wastes. The larger decomposers, or macroorganisms, in a compost pile include mites, centipedes, sow bugs, snails, millipedes, springtails, spiders, slugs, beetles, ants, flies, nematodes, flatworms, rotifers, and earthworms. They are considered to be physical decomposers because they grind, bite, suck, tear, and chew materials into smaller pieces. Of all these organisms, aerobic bacteria are the most important decomposers. They are very abundant; there may be millions in a gram of soil or decaying organic matter."

Worms are nocturnal creatures. If you can’t see them during the day it doesn’t mean they’re not present. Because they are light-sensitive, they remain in the darkness of the gravel, rocks, plants or any hideout available during the day or lighting hours.

The Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) includes planarians (Class Turbellaria), tapeworms (Class Cestoda), and flukes (Class Trematoda). The planarians are harmless, free-living flatworms. They live in an aquatic environment (freshwater or marine) or on moist soil. Both tapeworms and flukes are internal parasites that inhabit a host’s tissues, cavities in body organs, or blood vessels.2. The flatworms, like the sponges (Phylum Porifera) and Phylum Cnidaria ( Hydra , jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) are multicellular. However, the flatworms are more complex in structure than either of the two other groups. In flatworms, tissues are organized into organs (structures composed of more than one tissue and performing as specific function) and these organs are organized into organ systems (composed of more than one organ and performing a generalized function) such as the digestive system or the reproductive system.3. Unlike, the animals in the Phylum Cnidaria which have radial symmetry, those in the Phylum Platyhelminthes have bilateral symmetry. This means there is only one plane of symmetry (one way you can slice the animal in half and produce two pieces that are mirror images of one another)."

"text": "\"Difference Between Flatworms and Roundworms Posted on February 8, 2012 by Naveen Flatworms vs Roundworms Both flatworms and roundworms are quite dangerous and nuisance parasites of humans as well as of many other domestic animals. It is a common misunderstanding among people that both these types of worms are members of the same group. In fact, flatworms and roundworms belong to completely different phyla in the Kingdom: Animalia. They both are invertebrates and mostly parasitic animals. It would be worthwhile to go through the presented information in this article, as it summarises most of the interesting characteristics of both groups and performs a comparison between the two. Flatworms Flatworms are members of the Phylum: Platyhelminthes and there are more than 20,000 species collectively. The overall organisation of their bodies could be described with the use of adjectives such as unsegmented, bilaterally symmetrical, dorso-ventrally flattened, and soft-bodied. Flatworms are mainly composed of tapeworms and flukes, of which the majority are parasitic and cause serious problems in mammals including humans. Particularly, there are four distinguished groups of flatworms (Turbellaria, Trematoda, Cestoda, and Monogenea) and only one group is non-parasitic. Flatworms do not have a body cavity, and they do not have specialised organ systems; the absence of circulatory and respiratory systems could be stated as examples."

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

"text": "Flavonoids What is Flavonoids? Flavonoids are water soluble polyphenolic molecules containing 15 carbon atoms. Flavonoids belong to the polyphenol family. Flavanoids can be visualized as two benzene rings which are joined together with a short three carbon chain. One of the carbons of the short chain is always connected to a carbon of one of the benzene rings, either directly or through an oxygen bridge, thereby forming a third middle ring, which can be five or six-membered. The flavonoids consist of 6 major subgroups: chalcone, flavone, flavonol, flavanone, anthocyanins and isoflavonoids. Together with carotenes, flavanoids are also responsible for the coloring of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Distribution Flavonoids are found in most plant material. The most important dietary sources are fruits, tea and soybean. Green and black tea contains about 25% percent flavonoids."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Onions Sofrito sauce—typically associated with Spanish cuisine but actually used in a variety of cuisines worldwide—has been the topic of a recent study that provides some fascinating new information about onions. The four sauce ingredients in this study represented some of our very favorite foods: extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. In this study, several methods for preparation of the sofrito sauce were investigated, but one of the consistent study findings was the ability of onion to help increase the bioavailability of lycopene (a well-studied, health-promoting carotenoid) from the tomatoes. The authors speculated that the sulfur-compounds in the onions may have been involved in a chemical reaction (electron transfer) that helped increase the availability of the lycopene. We feature many recipes on our website that include both onions and tomatoes—including frittatas, soups, salads, and entrees. You can use our Recipe Assistant to search for and look over all of them. The flavonoids in onion tend to be more concentrated in the outer layers of the flesh. To maximize your health benefits, peel off as little of the fleshy, edible portion as possible when removing the onion's outermost paper layer. Even a small amount of \"\"overpeeling\"\" can result in unwanted loss of flavonoids. For example, a red onion can lose about 20% of its quercetin and almost 75% of its anthocyanins if it is \"\"overpeeled. \"\""

Flavonoids are plant pigments that provide the more vibrant, brilliant colours in nature, including most of the blue, purple and emerald green tones found in flowers, leaves, fruits and vegetables. In addition, most of the yellow, orange and red colours that are NOT carotenoids belong to the flavonoid family. Another distinction: carotenoids are LIPID -soluble, while flavonoids are predominantly WATER -soluble. Flavonoids represent a large family of phytonutrients (plant nutrients). More than 4,000 unique flavonoids have been identified so far - and the number is growing! Because of their chemical structure, flavonoids are part of a broader family of compounds known as polyphenols. In our diet, flavonoids are found primarily in fruits and vegetables; significant amounts of flavonoids are also found in teas and wines.

"text": "Ulcer disease is a condition in which open sores develop in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. They can occur in the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer), stomach (gastric ulcer), and esophagus (esophageal ulcer). Contrary to long-standing common belief, stress does not cause ulcers. Instead, the leading cause of ulcer disease is a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). These bacteria damage the protective mucosal barrier of certain areas within the gastrointestinal tract, making it easier for acidic digestive fluids to injure and inflame the gut’s lining. Other causes include smoking and chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen. 1The cause of your ulcer will determine the type of medical treatment that your physician recommends. If caused by NSAID use, then your doctor may discontinue prescribing NSAID medication, suggest a different pain medication, or continue NSAID use and add another medication to protect your stomach and duodenum, such as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which reduces production of stomach acid. If H. pylori infection is the cause of your ulcer, then your doctor may prescribe a treatment plan to kill the infection while reducing the acid in your stomach. Physicians often recommend lifestyle and dietary changes for persons with ulcers in addition to medications until complete healing occurs."

Even though its name is marigold, do not confuse it with the common ornamental marigold which is the genus Tagetes. Calendula is most widely used for skin and digestive issues, but also for menstrual symptoms. The useful components of calendula include a volatile oil, carotenoids, flavonoids, mucilage, resin, polysachharides, aromatic plant acids as well as saponins, glycosides and sterols. Extracts of calendula can include an infused oil, alcohol tincture, water soluble tea, or distilled and used as essential oil or watery distillate (hydrolate). The water soluble polysaccharides and saponins have been used as a tea to heal stomach ulcers as well as in a compress for various types of skin damage. These benefits can be reaped by using calendula as a tea to drink or to use as a skin wash. A poultice of calendula flower can be applied to a wound to help stop bleeding and promote healing. Calendula is probably best used for chapped and otherwise irritated skin. The oil soluble components including the essential oil seem especially good at stimulating wound healing."

Because this leafy vegetable is rich in water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and a wide variety of phytonutrients, there are many different ways to incorporate spinach into your meal plan and enjoy a variety of nutritional benefits. For example, we've seen a recent study in which the sautéing of spinach was best able to retain its total carotenoid content (in comparison with steaming or boiling or frying). Alternatively, we've seen an equally recent study showing far less loss of vitamin C from spinach when this vegetable was steamed for 5 minutes (instead of being microwaved or boiled for that same amount of time. Yet numerous studies also point to the nutrient benefits of raw spinach. For example, about 25% of the folate in spinach can be lost from cooking, and spinach can be thought of as a special nutritional contributor in terms of folate since it ranks as our Number 3 source of this nutrient at WHFoods. Therefore, as you can see, there are important nutritional benefits to be had from many different ways of incorporating spinach into your meal plan. In our World's Healthiest Foods Meal Plan, we incorporate spinach in its raw form in our Energizing Blueberry Smoothie, our Satisfying Strawberry Smoothie, and our Rousing Raspberry Smoothie. New research is underway involving the nitrate content of spinach.

In other words, glycosides are basically molecules wherein a sugar is attached to a non- carbohydrate element, generally a minor natural molecule. Glycosides have several important functions in all living organisms. A number of plants stock up compounds in the form of dormant glycosides. These chemicals may be set in motion by certain enzymes by means of hydrolysis that results in the sugar portion to be detached. The activation of these chemicals by the enzymes make them accessible for utilization. A number of such glycosides enclosed by the plants are of therapeutic value."

I do not have a very sweet tooth but for some reason, I have always loved dates. I add them to my morning bowl of oatmeal with a bit of chopped up mango and it sets me up very well for the day. If you don’t like oatmeal, never mind – dates are very versatile and there is any number of ways that you can enjoy them. Try eating them alone and fresh, chopping them up and throwing them into your yogurt or adding a couple to your juice or smoothie recipe. And why would you want to do this? Well, apart from the delightful flavor, they are incredibly healthy and confer a huge amount of health benefits on your body. They are a rich source of healthy fiber, minerals, and vitamins and can help relieve painful constipation, diarrhea, and other intestinal complaints."

Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Experts believe that a diet high in the antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids, and folate found in fruits and vegetables can help the body fight HPV infection and prevent HPV infection from turning cells of the cervix into cancerous lesions. A study published in the journal Cancer Research found that women whose blood tests showed high levels of certain chemical compounds — indicating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables — were able to clear their HPV infections faster than their peers, which could help reduce the risk of cancer. Fighting Cervical Cancer With Diet\"\"Lots of research points to great benefits associated with diet and cancer. Eating mostly a plant-based diet — one that is made up primarily of fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains — is the best,\"\" says Susan Moores, RD, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman. You can find ways to include these foods in your diet throughout the day. Moores recommends adding a variety of colors to your diet and including nutritious foods with attributes that fight cervical cancer at all three meals. For example: Breakfast: orange juice, cantaloupe, yogurt, and granola Lunch: open-faced toasted cheese and veggie sandwich with red peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini Dinner: tossed romaine salad with grapefruit segments and whole-wheat pasta with spinach, black beans, chicken, and diced tomatoes Flavonoids to Reduce Cervical Cancer Risk Flavonoids are chemical compounds in fruits and vegetables that are thought to be a leading source protection against cancer."

"text": "Sandra Raj Answered Oct 5, 2016 · Author has 167 answers and 134.9k answer views Originally Answered: What are the health benefits of eating grapes? Bone Health: Grapes are a wonderful source of micro-nutrients like copper, iron, and manganese, all of which are important in the formation and strength of the bones. Adding grapes into your diet on a regular basis can prevent the onset of age-related conditions like osteoporosis. Manganese is an extremely important element in the body, which aids in everything from protein metabolism, collagen formation, and nervous system functioning. Heart diseases: Grapes increase the nitric oxide levels in the blood, which prevents blood clots. Therefore, grapes are an effective way to reduce the chances of heart attacks. Additionally, the antioxidants present in grapes prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which blocks the blood vessels and is a main contributor to various coronary conditions. Grapes also have high numbers of flavonoids, which are what give grapes their color, but flavonoids are also very powerful antioxidants. The two main types in grapes are resveratrol and quercetin, and these two compounds negate the effects of free radicals that threaten the body and stimulate LDL cholesterol’s harmful effects on arteries. Also, these two antioxidant flavonoids act as a clean-up crew to reduce platelet clumping and filter toxins out of the blood."

Kale is not only our most lutein-rich food at WHFoods, it is also the top lutein-containing food in the USDA's National Nutrient Database that analyzes 5,350 foods that contain this carotenoid nutrient. Among the carotenoids, lutein is perhaps best known for its supportive role in eye health, and in particular, for its ability to protect different parts of the eye from potential damage by light or oxygen. A recent study on African-American women has shown decreased likelihood of glaucoma (an eye problem usually caused by increased pressure within the eye) when dietary intake of kale reaches higher intake levels. In this case, \"\"higher intake levels\"\" were defined as any levels exceeding at least one half-cup serving per week. Since our WHFoods serving size for kale is one cup, you will be getting more than this amount from one serving based on our standard. Among all of the vegetables examined in this particular study, kale and collards came out at the top of the vegetable list in this study for decreasing the likelihood of glaucoma!A recent study has analyzed the combination of kale with lentils and found this food combination to be especially complementary in providing us with nutrient-richness.

Vegetables may be derived from almost any part of a plant: roots (carrots, beets, turnips, and radishes), bulbs (onions and garlic), stems (celery and asparagus), leaves (spinach and lettuce), seeds (beans, corn, and peas), and even flowers (broccoli and cauliflower). In addition, there are foods that are routinely called vegetables and used as vegetables, but which are actually fruits. Botanically, fruits are the part of the plant that contains its seeds, specifically, the mature ovaries of plants. The fruits most often seen masquerading as vegetables include tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, avocados, okra, eggplant, olives, water chestnuts, and peppers. Composition of Vegetables Structure Cell Wall. Cells are the building blocks of both plant and animal organisms. One of the major differences between the two is that vegetables and other plants lack the skeletal structure that provides support in animal organisms. Instead, each vegetable cell is surrounded by a sturdy wall. Contributing to the strength of these cell walls are several fibrous compounds which are indigestible in humans-cellulose, pectic compounds, hemicellulose, lignin, and gums."

If you’ve ever checked the label on commercial hair gels, you know that they are loaded with chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Even though these toxins aren’t going to absorb into your bloodstream like they would if you slathered it on your skin, these chemicals still get on your pillowcase at night potentially contacting your skin while you sleep. In addition, anything on your hair is close to your nose so you would breath in the hormone disrupting fragrances.

Flax seeds are super rich in omega-3 oils, those essential fatty acids that are all-important for our health, including the health of our hair and skin. The flax seed plant is an erect flowering annual with slender stems reaching up to 48 inches (120 cm) in height. The leaves are a glaucous green. The flowers are pale blue, with five petals. The fruit is a round dry capsule approximately 5–9 mm in diameter, containing a few glossy brown seeds shaped like apple pips. Flax is grown both for its fiber and seeds. Throughout history the flax plant has been used to make dyes, paints, paper, fabrics, fishing nets and soaps. The seeds produce an oil known as flaxseed oil or linseed oil. The health benefits of the flax seed are largely due to the presence of gelatinous, or mucus-like substances and linamarin (a cyanogenic glucoside found in the leaves and roots of many plants)."

Replacing eggs in baking is a much more difficult task, and it's one that causes a great deal of grief to new vegans or those newly diagnosed with egg allergies. A variety of substitutes are available, all with their own quirks, but one of the most effective is ground flax seed.credit: Comstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images Flax works best in baked goods that already have strong flavors and dense textures. The Difficulty Eggs are an especially difficult substitution because they do so much in a recipe. The yolks add rich fat, and their emulsifiers help the remaining ingredients mix more effectively. The proteins in egg whites, on the other hand, solidify to help provide structure and leavening as the goods bake. Flax seeds make a surprisingly effective substitute. Their high level of healthy oils provides an adequate replacement for the yolks' fat, and flax also helps emulsify other ingredients. More importantly, the soluble fiber in the seeds' hard coats creates a firm gel when soaked in water."

Ysolt Usigan Topics:breakfast, chicken, chicken recipes, dinner, healthy snacks, low-calorie meals, low-calorie recipes,lunch, recipe makeovers Flax Gives Salads, Soups, and Sandwiches a Little Crunch1 of 10All photos Eating flaxseed benefits your body and brain, says Alicia Stanton, M. D., an integrative medicine physician and author of Hormone Harmony and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Hormone Weight Loss. She says the oil in flaxseeds is the richest plant source of healthy omega-3 fats, which are necessary for the function of every cell. These healthy fats help reduce inflammation, balance hormones, protect against mood swings and depression, and prevent heart disease, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. The superfood is also high in fiber and can help relieve constipation. Stanton suggests eating one to two tablespoons of flaxseeds or flaxseed oil daily to reap maximum health benefits. Try adding toasted flaxseeds to salads, soups (like one of these healthy sounds that fill you up ), and sandwiches for a pleasant crunch. Stanton adds that while flaxseed oil has the highest concentration of the plant’s omega-3 fats, it has a low smoke point so it's not recommended for cooking but is good for smoothies, salad dressings, and other foods.

"text": "\"Egg Substitutes in Baking? Try Flax Seed!Emma Christensen Sep 9, 2009Share Email Have you ever tried replacing eggs with ground flax seed in your baking? We spotted this tip on the Bitten blog last week and were instantly intrigued. We've been known to sprinkle flax seeds over our morning oatmeal or mix a few spoonfuls into bread dough for the boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. But this is the first we've heard that it can be used as an egg replacement!Apparently there is a gum in the seed coating that becomes thick and gelatinous when the seeds are ground and whisked with water. Harold Mc Gee in On Food and Cooking says this makes a good emulsifier and will help the structure of baked goods - much like eggs!The basic ratio is one tablespoon of flax seeds and three tablespoons of water to replace one egg. You'll need to grind the flax seeds into a fine powder using a coffee or spice grinder (or use 2 1/2 teaspoons pre-ground), and then you simply whisk in the water until it becomes gelatinous. Cory Ramy on the Bitten blog also chilled the mixture before using it. Add flax \"\"eggs\"\" to the recipe exactly as you would regular eggs. It sounds like the flax seeds can have a strong nutty or earthy flavor, so we think it would work best in recipes that compliment those flavors."

"text": "Flax seeds burst onto the nutritional scene a few years ago, and now you can find them everywhere, including flour, bread and cereal. But chia is the new star in town: this tiny seed was important to Mayans and Aztecs and is becoming increasingly popular in modern times. It's been studied for its effects on weight loss, diabetes, and heart health, though results are still preliminary. So which seed should you choose? We break it down below. All nutritional information is based on 1 ounce (28 grams) of dried seeds. Food Fight: Flax vs Chia Fibre: Both of these seeds are a great way to get more fibre in your diet, but chia has the edge: an ounce gives you 10.6 grams of fibre, or 42 per cent of your recommended daily intake, versus 7.6 grams and 31 per cent for flax. These seeds also provide different types of fibre. Chia is one of the richest sources of soluble fibre, the kind that takes longer to get through your digestive tract, which adds bulk to stool and slows glucose absorption. The fibre in flax, however, is mostly soluble fibre, which has been tied to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol — in fact, research has shown an association between daily flax consumption and lower cholesterol."

You’ll derive more of the nutritional benefits by grinding them in a dedicated coffee or seed grinder and then adding them to foods.

"text": "\"Flax Seed Oil By Steve Marsden, DVM ND MSOM LAc Dipl CH AHG, Shawn Messonnier, DVM and Cheryl Yuill, DVM, MSc, CVHAlternative Therapies What is Flax Seed oil? Also called linseed oil, flax seed oil is derived from the seeds of the flax plant and has been proposed as a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to fish oil supplements (which may impart a fishy smell to the breath or skin). Flax Seed oil contains higher levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than fish oil, and also contains omega-6 fatty acids. ALA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is ultimately converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in some species. EPA and DHA are of significant benefit in the management of chronic inflammatory and immune disorders. When acted upon by cyclooxygenase, they give rise to series 3 prostaglandins, which are notable in their anti-inflammatory effects. Why recommend administration of flax seed oil to my pet? Like fish oil, flax seed oil is used to treat chronic inflammatory disorders. Fish oil is a direct source of EPA and DHA whereas the ALA within flax seed oil must be converted into DHA and EPA. However, many species of animals (probably including dogs and cats) and some people cannot efficiently convert ALA to the more active non-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA)."

There are several human foods that are not bad for a dog and when fed in moderation, these foods actually add some nutritional value to a dog's daily diet. Lean Beef Mix a few scraps of lean beef into your dog's regular dog food to give him an extra boost of protein and flavor. Do not use meats that are heavily seasoned or that have been prepared with onions or are covered in salty gravy. Veterinarians recommend using cooked meat to avoid exposing dogs to toxic bacterias that are found in raw meat. Poultry Combine chunks of boneless chicken and turkey with your dog's dry food to spice up his daily meals. Remove all skin, as it contains fat and salt which are unhealthy for dogs.

Flax is a high quality and very economical source of Omega 3 fatty acids that is used throughout the body to protect the cell membranes, including protecting the eyes.2. Flax provides Omega 3 that are used by the oil glands in the eyelid to build a healthy tear film on the eye's oil layer .3. Flax is a source of Omega 3s that help suppress inflammation of the eyes (including both blephartis inflammation and inflammation of the tear glands in Sjögren's syndrome, which causes decreased tear production).4.

By Teri Silver; Updated September 21, 2017Crepe myrtles, more commonly known as crape myrtle or crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia spp. ), are large shrubs or small multiple-trunk trees with flower clusters in whites, pinks, reds and purples. Most crape myrtle varieties thrive in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 to 10 but some grow in USDA zone 6. Crape myrtles attract aphids, Japanese beetles and primrose flea beetles. Plants are susceptible to fungi that lead to powdery mildew and sooty mold. Crape Myrtle Aphids Crape myrtle aphids (Tinocallis kahawaluokalani) chew through tree leaves and twigs beginning in May -- with heavy infestations in July through early August. Yellowish-green crape myrtle aphids grow up to 1/2 inch long. Females produce eggs which hatch in the spring. Crape myrtle aphids eat sweet liquid sap from leaf bottoms."

"text": "\"Corn Sweet corn is a warm-season vegetable that can be grown easily in any garden with sufficient light, fertility, growing season and space. It is especially popular with home gardeners because it tastes appreciably better when it is harvested and eaten fresh from the garden. Successive plantings can yield continual harvests from early summer until frost if the weather cooperates. Sweet corn may be divided into three distinct types according to genetic background: normal sugary (SU), sugary enhancer (SE) and supersweet (Sh2). Standard sweet corn varieties contain a \"\"sugary (SU) gene\"\" that is responsible for the sweetness and creamy texture of the kernels. SUs are best suited to being picked, husked and eaten within a very short time. In the home garden, this is sometimes possible but not always practical. The old adage was \"\"start the water boiling, run to the patch, pick and husk the corn, run back to the pot, cook the corn, and eat or process immediately. \"\" Sugary enhancer hybrids contain the sugary enhancer (SE) gene, that significantly raises the sugar content above standard SUs while retaining the tenderness and creamy texture of standard varieties. The taste, tenderness and texture are outstanding."

When you grow your own vegetables, you want to control the amount of pesticides you are exposed to and there are steps you can take when planning your garden to minimize pest damage without dousing your veggies in potentially harmful chemicals. Companion planting, in particular the use of herbs, can discourage certain pests from making a meal of your crops. The herbs work either by luring pests away from crops or by repelling them with odors or tastes the pests dislike. The benefit isn't all for the plants, however. Companion gardening yields plenty of fresh herbs for the adventurous cook. Perennial Herbs While most vegetable gardens are annual affairs, tilled and replanted each year, it is worthwhile to find some space that can remain undisturbed from year to year to give crops the benefit of pest-repelling perennial herbs. Rosemary, a shrubby perennial in warm climates, repels cabbage moths, bean beetles and carrot flies when planted with those crops. Chives deter aphids, mites and Japanese beetles, as well as rabbits -- a larger garden pest. Sage repels the same insects as rosemary, as well as flea beetles, which prey on potatoes and sweet potatoes."

If you believe vinegar has some mystical properties that stop your pooch's hair from falling out, something has gone horribly wrong in the course of your research. However, white and apple cider vinegar are potent taste deterrents that can help stop hair loss caused by excessive licking, chewing and biting. Taste Deterrent While lots of scents attract your pet pooch, a few work wonders for repelling her. Of course, you have to stick to substances that are harmless to dogs, and vinegar is a perfect example; it's safe and dogs hate the odor. Taste deterrents are great for keeping your furry friend from getting into your garden and for preventing her from excessive chewing, biting and licking that's causing hair loss, which is a form of self-mutilation. Try a 50 percent watered-down application first over the areas of concern. The hope is that your dog won't be overpowered by the smell on her, but that it will keep her from chewing and licking. If it doesn't work, try increasingly less diluted mixes. Be aware that vinegar stings on open wounds, so check closely to be sure your dog hasn't broken the skin with her teeth."

"text": "Flea Beetles Managementby Vern Grubinger Vegetable and Berry Specialist University of Vermont Extension Flea beetles may take small bites, but they can add up to big problems. Their feeding on the leaves of solanaceous crops like eggplant, peppers, and tomato can delay the establishment of seedlings or even kill them. The same is true for brassica crops, like cabbage and kale, with the additional concern that damage to foliage reduces marketability, even if it doesn’t affect yield. And, flea beetles don’t just attack leaves; in their larval stage they feed on roots, too. Some species of flea beetles, like the corn flea beetle, will attack many different crops, but most species prefer a small group of related plants. On vegetable farms in the Northeast, one can find the horseradish flea beetle, potato flea beetle, and spinach flea beetle, to name a few. Some of the most problematic flea beetles are two that attack or brassicas, or crucifers: the crucifer flea beetle, which is all black, and the striped flea beetle, which is black with two light tan stripes on its back. Life Cycle. Flea beetles overwinter as adults under soil and leaf litter in brushy or woody areas surrounding fields, rather than in grassy areas right next to fields. They emerge in early spring when temperatures reach about 50 degrees, feeding on weeds or crops, if available."

"text": "How to Detect a Flea Infestation in a New Home What You Can Do to Find Them By Gina Carey. September 19| See Comments Although you're anxious to start putting things away and settling into your new home, it's important to ensure that there aren't any unwanted house guests already there. Moving to a new house or apartment is stressful enough, and an infestation of fleaswaiting there to terrorize your pets will only cause more headaches. Before you unpack your boxes, here are a few ways to check out your new home for fleas so you can eradicate the problem beforehand. Do the Sock Test Put on a pair of white cotton socks and pull them up to your calves, then walk around your new home. Make sure to spend time on any carpets that have been installed. If there are adult fleas present, they’ll likely jump up and hitch a ride. Shuffle your feet to create warmth on the floor, as fleas are attracted to heat, and linger in spots you suspect they’d inhabit. You’ll see fleas as brown or black specks against your white socks if they are present. Check for Flea Dirt Fleas have the unfortunate tendency to leave behind visible droppings, which their young will eat."

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

Proper care and maintenance of your carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its appearance longer. Failure to maintain proper care will result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment. Useful Tips In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing 1/4 teaspoon liquid detergent (without bleach) and 1 cup cold water. Over time, the stain-resistancy of stain-resistant carpet wears down. For optimum performance, have a protector regularly applied after cleaning. Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof. Be sure to act immediately to prevent spots and spills from causing permanent damage. Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil just like your carpet."

Furthermore, their distribution and that of their vectors is shifting and expanding. This publication reviews general flea biology and the distribution of the flea-borne diseases of public health importance throughout the world, their principal flea vectors, and the extent of their public health burden. Such an overall review is necessary to understand the importance of this group of infections and the resources that must be allocated to their control by public health authorities to ensure their timely diagnosis and treatment. Previous article Next article Keywords Flea Siphonaptera Plague Yersinia pestis Rickettsia Bartonella Introduction The past decades have seen a dramatic change in the geographic and host ranges of many vector-borne pathogens, and their diseases. This process is often driven by climate change and the destruction of wild habitats. Fleas, as hosts for a wide range of largely understudied pathogens (except Yersinia pestis ), are no exception, and flea-borne diseases may re-emerge in epidemic form. Examples of this are the changing ecology of murine typhus, 1 the finding of Rickettsia spp in new hosts, 2 and the finding of fleas on new hosts or in geographical areas previously unreported in the literature. 3 Therefore, it is timely to provide a concise review of flea biology, synanthropic fleas, and flea-borne diseases, presenting updated evidence on their evolutionary history, emergence, and re-emergence. Fleas and their biology Fleas (Insecta, Siphonaptera) are small, laterally flattened, wingless, and highly specialized insects."

PCBs are formed from a combination of one or more chlorine atoms and two benzene molecules. Two other names for PCBs are arochlors and chlorodiphenyls. In any PCB commercial mixture there may be 40 to 70 different compounds present. PCB's appear in several forms, including oily light yellow liquids, waxy solids or resins, or white powders. All are practically odorless, flammable, sink to the bottom in bodies of water, and dissolve only slightly."

"text": "\"Fluorescent lights are far more complex in design than incandescent light bulbs, and more efficient. An incandescent light bulb generates very little light relative to the amount of heat it generates, wasting much energy. Fluorescent bulbs waste very little energy and generally last up to six times longer than incandescent bulbs. They are tubular in design, with capped ends that feature two external pins each. The inside of the glass tube is powder-coated with phosphorous, and a small drop of mercury is also placed inside the bulb, which is filled with argon gas. An electrode at either end connects to electrical circuits. A basic understanding of how light is produced is helpful. Atoms have negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus at various distances. When an atom absorbs enough energy it can cause one of the electrons to jump to a higher orbit. As the electron loses energy, it falls back to its previous orbit."

CFLs are simply miniature versions of full-sized fluorescents. They screw into standard lamp sockets, and give off light that looks similar to the common incandescent bulbs— not like the fluorescent lighting we associate with factories and schools. LEDs are small, very efficient solid bulbs. New LED bulbs are grouped in clusters with diffuser lenses, which have broadened the applications for LED use in the home. LED technology is advancing rapidly, with many new bulb styles available. Initially more expensive than CFLs, LEDs now bring more value since they last longer. The Status of Energy Efficient Lighting With a burgeoning supply of far more efficient light bulb options, the EU began a phased ban of incandescents in 2009.

These lights are able to accomplish this because they contain small amounts of mercury. Mercury is a natural element that has many uses. However, mercury is a powerful neorotoxin and causes a variety of adverse health effects due to exposure. Those who are at most risk from mercury exposure are pregnant women and developing children. The leading consensus from environmental organizations and government is that although fluorescents should be handled with care and managed properly to avoid breakage, they are still recommended for business and residential use due to their many benefits. That being said, people should handle these products with care and common sense - much like you would when driving to avoid crashing your car. By taking simple steps to prevent breaking fluorescent lights, consumers can avoid exposure to mercury. Due to the possibility of mercury vapor being retained in carpets, you may want to consider using and handling fluorescent lights only in areas above hard flooring as well as areas with lamps that are not easily knocked over by children or animals. The following guidelines are based on recommendations from the U. S. EPA and the recent study conducted by the state of Maine for cleaning up after a CFL or fluorescent tube breaks."

Preventing or minimising exposure to mercury in your environment is the best way to reduce the risk of mercury poisoning. Pregnant women, infants and children, and people with kidney disease should especially avoid exposure to excess mercury. On this page: Mercury in the environment Reducing exposure to mercury People at risk of exposure to mercury Pink disease Symptoms of mercury poisoning Diagnosis of mercury poisoning Treatment of mercury poisoning Where to get help Things to remember Mercury is a natural substance present in the earth, but it is also produced in various industrial and medical uses. In our environment, the three forms of mercury present are:elemental metal – such as in mercury thermometers and dental fillingsorganic compound – mercury is converted by bacteria in the water into methylmercury and this enters the fish food chaininorganic compound – naturally present in coal, mercury is released into the air when coal is burned to generate power. mercury is also produced as a waste product in various industrial processes. The majority of exposure to humans is through organic methylmercury that has entered the food chain and accumulates at higher levels in larger species of fish. The major threat to human health from mercury poisoning is from inhaling mercury as a vapour.

There three classes of fluorescent lighting systems are: (1) Pre-Heat, (2) Rapid-Start, and (3) Instant-Start. Depending on the type, a fluorescent lamp may use a heated cathode (typically a tungsten filament) to get the current flow initially started, or may be an all-cold cathode design, relying on ionization or brute-force voltages (or both) to get the lamp started. The basic differences between the classes are shown in this table: Fixture Class (Ballast and Lamp type) Starting or \"\"Striking\"\" Technique Fixture Uses Starters? Pre-Heat (See Section 5)Heated cathodes while starting Yes Rapid-Start (See Section 6)Continuously heated cathodes and ionization from fixture Starter function integrated inside ballast Instant-Start (See Section 7)High starting voltage, sometimes with ionization from fixture No All fixtures have a fluorescent lamp and a ballast, but only the older \"\"pre-heat\"\" designs have a starter. Each of these three components is discussed in detail below. The Fluorescent Lamp Similar to the gas-discharge lighting systems known collectively as neon lighting, a fluorescent lamp mainly contains argon gas. When a flow of electrical current passes through argon gas, several wavelengths of light are produced, including short-wave ultraviolet light."

A: Mint repels a lot of insects but not all. A few insects are actually attracted to the scent of mints. If the flies aren't harming the plants, just let them do their thing. They'll eventually move on. If you just don't want them around, a better option than spraying is to attract them to something else and trap them."

The cent's symbol is ¢. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. From 1959 (the sesquicentennial of Lincoln's birth) to 2008, the reverse featured the Lincoln Memorial. Four different reverse designs in 2009 honored Lincoln's 200th birthday and a new, \"\"permanent\"\" reverse – the Union Shield – was introduced in 2010. The coin is 0.75 inches (19.05 mm) in diameter and 0.0598 inches (1.52 mm) in thickness. Its weight has varied, depending upon the composition of metals used in its production (see further below). The U. S. Mint 's official name for the coin is \"\" cent \"\" [1] and the U. S. Treasury's official name is \"\"one cent piece\"\". [ 2] The colloquial term penny derives from the British coin of the same name, the pre-decimal version of which had a similar place in the British system.

"text": "\"Now Boarding 'Mint': Jet Blue's take on the first class experience John Colucci, @johncolucci12.05.14 Comments5Shares When Jet Blue took flight in 2000, the company aimed to \"\"bring humanity back to air travel.\"\" The team started by ordering a bunch of new Airbus A320 aircraft, filling them with comfy leather seats (and enough legroom), serving unlimited free snacks and, best of all, offering a TV at every seat with 20 channels of live satellite TV. Part of this exercise in \"\"humanity\"\" involved keeping ticket prices affordable for everyone. Fast-forward 14 years later, and the airline is bringing this approach to first class travel with the introduction of \"\"Mint. \"\" Until now, first class and even business class weren't accessible to everyone. Maybe you've been lucky to sit in a premium cabin because you're a frequent flier with status on an airline like Delta. Even then, the upgrades aren't always guaranteed. Or maybe you're rich and have stacks of cash to buy first class tickets at full price. Good on you, then! But, even if you've flown first class elsewhere, Jet Blue's new Mint cabin is unique."

Imagine you're sitting on your porch this evening, sipping a mint tulip to help you get through the sultry summer heat when suddenly, duck, an enormous moth comes swishing by, a little too close for comfort as it succumbs to its fatal attraction to your porch light.

"text": "\"Home »Produce Companion Planting With Herbs By Barbara Fahs; Updated September 21, 2017Plants have more in common with humans than you might think. We both have needs for food and water, and we both have our likes and dislikes about others. Companion planting is a method of growing plants that like each other in close proximity and keeping the ones they don’t care for far away. Herbs make good companions for many plants because they enhance the environments where those plants grow. For example, if you grow rosemary next to your green beans, you can expect healthier plants and a larger harvest than if you didn’t grow this herb nearby. Planting Herbs With Their Companions Plant basil next to your tomatoes, peppers and asparagus. Tomatoes also like to be near mint, borage, oregano, petunias, marigolds and nasturtiums, which means basil is a companion to these herbs and flowers as well. On the other hand, basil is not a good companion to rue or sage. Grow German chamomile or Roman chamomile next to any plant—along with its tonic properties that are beneficial for humans, it also is compatible with all plants. Choose chives for your beds containing carrots, tomatoes, cabbage family vegetables, chrysanthemums and sunflowers."

I decided it was time for a full on ATTACK! First of all…..the BEST best way to control pests is to not invite them inside in the first place. Most bugs are attracted to food and water, so keeping your kitchen clean, taking out the garbage regularly, and storing food and drinks in tight containers will deter most insects, and other pests. Removing water sources will also go a long way towards solving your bug problem, as will sealing off their point of entry.

Flickr user Mats Eriksson ( CC license )Though honeybees get all the credit, native pollen bees do the bulk of the pollination chores in many gardens, parks, and forests. Unlike the highly social honeybees, nearly all pollen bees live solitary lives. Most native pollen bees work more efficiently than honeybees at pollinating flowers. They don't travel far, and so focus their pollination efforts on fewer plants. Native bees fly quickly, visiting more plants in a shorter amount of time. Both males and females pollinate flowers, and native bees begin earlier in spring than honeybees. Pay attention to the pollinators in your garden, and try to learn their preferences and habitat needs. The more you do to attract native pollinators, the more bountiful your harvest will be.

Platinum is a metal that has had an up-and-down production history in recent years around the globe. The metal was in high demand until the late 1990s as prices sank, mints and refineries exited the market. However, rising platinum prices in the early 21st century brought more producers back into the marketplace, with new coins and bars appearing for investors to snatch up. The rising demand for platinum has more to do with its wider use.

Vegetable companion gardening can have a real impact on the health and yield of your plants. In nature everything interacts to create a whole life force. This is a basic understanding... that everything organic and living has a mutual influence on every other living thing. Every plant has an effect on every other plant and every creature has an effect on every other creature. Over time, gardeners have observed these interrelationships, and scientists have studied them. It’s well worth while reading a little bit about how and why companion planting is so important before we get into which specific plants go with what. . . . Plants, unlike many people, are not timid.

Available only on flights between New York and San Francisco and New York and Los Angeles, the new premium section, dubbed \"\"Mint,\"\" will feature lie-flat seats, its own tapas-style menu, and customized amenity kits. The first flight with the new premium section will take off from New York's JFK to Los Angeles International Airport on June 15, 2014. LATEST : Jet Blue unveils its fares for its high-end seats Jet Blue's new premium class, to be officially unveiled today, is the latest volley in the high-stakes battle among U. S. carriers for premium fliers who pay the highest fares for a more luxurious ride or to fly at the last minute, particularly from New York to Los Angeles and New York to San Francisco. \"\" It's almost like a nuclear arms race on these two routes,'' says Jami Counter, senior director of Seat Guru, a website that offers information and reviews of airline seats, services and amenities. \"\" In the last year, one carrier keeps outdoing the other carrier. '' Though Jet Blue will officially announce the new premium offering's prices and perks today, it hinted of the changes to come last month, when it announced its new lie-flat seats. Travel-industry watchers say it's smart for the 14-year-old carrier to try to capture a larger share of the fliers who pay the highest fares to fly coast to coast, but some warn that offering a specialized experience to passengers in the front of the plane could undermine Jet Blue's populist image. \"\" This is seismic because now, admittedly only on the transcontinental routes ... Jet Blue is saying some passengers are going to be more important than others,'' says Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst with Hudson Crossing. \"\" This move is not one that comes with guaranteed success, nor is it one that comes without risk to the brand. ..."

Gnats are often known as “ nats ” or “ knats “. Gnats are small sized flies ranging in size from 1/8″ to 1/10” in length. They have two wings and in terms of appearance they resemble more to a mosquito than to a fly. As per Wikipedia, “A gnat is any of many species of tiny flying insects in the Dipterid suborder Nematocera, especially those in the families’ Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae and Sciaridae “. Gnats are nuisance pests because they just lay eggs, annoy people, spread diseases, and die. Gnats are weak fliers but they torment people and become quite a distraction in the workplace. Most species of gnats are attracted to carbon-dioxide just like horseflies and this is the reason you always find them flying around your mouth and nose. In this article, we are going to see how to get rid of gnats, but before that let’s have a look at different types of gnats."

"text": "Romanesque and Gothic Romanesque One of the most important styles of European art that developed during the Middle Ages was called Romanesque. This style began during the 1000's and lasted for more than 200 years. Romanesque architecture is massive, low, and solid-looking. Round Roman arches, thick walls, and small windows are typical of the buildings. Churches were built in the shape of a cross, using the basilica (a type of Roman building) as the basis for the design. Another important feature of Romanesque architecture was the use of a separate bell tower, or campanile, that was built beside the main church. Although there were slight variations in each country, the Romanesque style dominated Western Europe until it was replaced by the Gothic style. Gothic Architecture Three architectural features are typical of the Gothic. These are the pointed arch, the ribbed vault, and the flying buttress. It is the pointed arch that most clearly makes Gothic building look different from Roman and Romanesque work."

"text": "\"English vs. French English and French churches in Gothic style were constructed of stone masonry with pointed arches, ribbed vaults and a buttressing system to counteract the outward thrust of the stone vaults and the weight of the timber roofs. English Gothic cathedrals tend to be long and moderately high. Salisbury is 82 feet from the floor to the apex of the high vault. Cathedrals in such French towns as Chartres, Reims and Amiens are exceedingly tall, from 100 to 120 feet to the apex of the vault. Because the French masons opted for height, they employed a visually flamboyant system of structural supports--flying buttresses--so called because the aches that abut the clerestory wall \"\"fly\"\" over the side aisle roofs. The support system of French cathedrals is, therefore, apparent on the exterior and creates a massive forest of soaring masonry all around the building. Salisbury has arches performing a similar buttressing function as the French \"\"flyers,\"\" but they are hidden beneath the roof. Visitors to Salisbury today will see a few flying buttresses, particularly around the tower, but these have all been at a later date. The original design of the building in the thirteenth century would have created the illusion that the building stood without a prominently visible system of support. Architectural historians have suggested that English masons at Salisbury were \"\"behind the times\"\" because they did not utilize flying buttresses or other contemporary French features, but I suggest that English masons and their patrons chose to build a cathedral that suited their taste and did not copy French models."

"text": "Gothic art, the painting, sculpture, and architecture characteristic of the second of two great international eras that flourished in western and central Europe during the Middle Ages. Gothic art evolved from Romanesque art and lasted from the mid-12th century to as late as the end of the 16th century in some areas. The term Gothic was coined by classicizing Italian writers of the Renaissance, who attributed the invention (and what to them was the nonclassical ugliness) of medieval architecture to the barbarian Gothic tribes that had destroyed the Roman Empire and its classical culture in the 5th century ce. The term retained its derogatory overtones until the 19th century, at which time a positive critical revaluation of Gothic architecture took place. Although modern scholars have long realized that Gothic art has nothing in truth to do with the Goths, the term Gothic remains a standard one in the study of art history. Chartres Cathedral Chartres Cathedral, France. Top Photo Group/Thinkstock Architecture Architecture was the most important and original art form during the Gothic period. The principal structural characteristics of Gothic architecture arose out of medieval masons’ efforts to solve the problems associated with supporting heavy masonry ceiling vaults over wide spans. The problem was that the heavy stonework of the traditional arched barrel vault and the groin vault exerted a tremendous downward and outward pressure that tended to push the walls upon which the vault rested outward, thus collapsing them. A building’s vertical supporting walls thus had to be made extremely thick and heavy in order to contain the barrel vault’s outward thrust."

Building work began on the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris way back in the 12th century, it was not until some 300 years later construction finally came to an end. It is now one of the most prominent cathedrals in France and one of the oldest ones too. The length of time it took to build is evident through the various styles of architecture that run through the building.

The Romanesque architecture style was prevalent during the 9th and the 12th centuries. The Byzantine and the Roman styles have influenced the Romanesque architecture. The name “Romanesque” was carved out in the 1800s as it came with the barrel vault feature which had a resemblance to the classical Roman arch. The Gothic architecture is traced to the mid-12th century. Gothic architecture was mainly intended to make the churches look like heaven. The Gothic architecture made the churches bright, colorful, and soaring. The Romanesque architecture had the characteristics of large, internal spaces, barrel vaults, thick walls, and rounded arches on windows and doors. Gothic architecture has many features like highness, flying buttresses, and vertical lines. One of the main differences between the two architectures is in the use of the buttress which was common in Gothic buildings."

It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as Opus Francigenum (\"\"French work\"\") with the term Gothic first appearing during the later part of the Renaissance. Its characteristics include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault (which evolved from the joint vaulting of Romanesque architecture) and the flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings, such as dorms and rooms. It is in the great churches and cathedrals and in a number of civic buildings that the Gothic style was expressed most powerfully, its characteristics lending themselves to appeals to the emotions, whether springing from faith or from civic pride. A great number of ecclesiastical buildings remain from this period, of which even the smallest are often structures of architectural distinction while many of the larger churches are considered priceless works of art and are listed with UNESCO as World Heritage Sites."

"text": "\"The History of Medieval Artwritten by: Jarod Saucedo • edited by: Noreen Gunnell • updated: 2/26/2014The history of medieval art is represented in three periods called the Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic art styles. Although these styles built upon each other, they were different in style techniques as well as the themes they wished to convey. Background of Medieval Art The Middle Ages was a time period that lasted from the 5th century to the end of the 15th century in Europe. During this time, several different art styles emerged that would allow artists to rethink traditions and push forward with new styles. For example, before the Byzantine period, many artists engaged in Christian iconography. Artists would often represent key religious figures such as Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary to represent their status in Christendom. With this background in mind, medieval art would evolve steadily by rejecting and combining certain styles. For example, Christian iconography would become a stable style in the Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic styles; however, it would be represented in a fresh method in each style. Although art during the Middle Ages is a bit broad, these three styles represented the artistic and religious ideology of medieval Europe. Byzantine Art The first major style to emerge was the Byzantine style which lasted throughout the entire Middle Ages."

Consequently, it is often difficult to declare one building as a member of a certain era of Gothic architecture.

"text": "Gothic Architecture Starting about 1100, a new wave of construction of Christian Churches began in Europe. This was due to a number of reasons. Beginning with Constantine in 326, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. Christians were able to convert many of the invading Barbarian tribes which multiplied the number of Christians who needed a place to worship God. In 476 the Roman Empire fell. The Emperor had moved to Constantinople. With no emperor in the Western half of Empire, the Pope became stronger than the Emperor. From the pope’s office grew a hierarchy of clergy with specific responsibilities. Each major town had a bishop, who was the authority over the clergy and the people living there. The bishop’s church became known as the “cathedral” coming from the word “cathedra” which means the chair or the seat of the bishop of that town or region."

It is characterized by ribbed vault, pointed arch and flying buttresses. Spanning from the mid-12th century to the late 16th century, this style of architecture flourished during the high and late medieval period. With time it developed from the Romanesque architecture, which later evolved into Renaissance architecture. The term “Gothic” commonly used to describe this form of architecture implies that this design of architecture was influenced by the Visigoth and Goth tribes; however, this is misleading because these tribes had been vanquished by the 6th century. Gothic Architectural designs are common all over the world, especially in European countries. They are distinctive from other art designs, making them mysterious and amazing at the same time. They were mainly used in cathedrals during the 13th century in France; one of the famous examples is The Cathedral Basilica of St. Denis. Gothic Architecture Styles Basically, Gothic architecture transformed how cathedrals, churches and castles were built in Europe. In the 11th century, building skills and materials were limited, Stone castles were simple, cold dark and damp."

Pinnacles on King's College Chapel, Cambridge. Pinnacle, Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk, Ostend, Belgium Crockets on finials, Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk; Ostend, Belgium A [1] pinnacle is an architectural ornament originally forming the cap or crown of a buttress or small turret, but afterwards used on parapets at the corners of towers and in many other situations. The pinnacle looks like a small spire. It was mainly used in Gothic architecture. The pinnacle had two purposes: Ornamental – adding to the loftiness and verticity of the structure. They sometimes ended with statues, such as in Milan Cathedral. Structural – the pinnacles were very heavy and often rectified with lead, in order to enable the flying buttresses to contain the stress of the structure vaults and roof. This was done by adding compressive stress (a result of the pinnacle weight) to the thrust vector and thus shifting it downwards rather than sideway."

In fact, some claim that Sciurus carolinensis - the grey squirrel - is about as ethical a dish as it is possible to serve on a dinner plate. The grey squirrel, the American cousin of Britain's endangered red variety, is flying off the shelves faster than hunters can shoot them, with game butchers struggling to keep up with demand. ' We put it on the shelf and it sells. It can be a dozen squirrels a day - and they all go,' said David Simpson, the director of Kingsley Village shopping centre in Fraddon, Cornwall, whose game counter began selling grey squirrel meat two months ago. At Ridley's Fish and Game shop in Corbridge, Northumberland, the owner David Ridley says he has sold 1,000 - at £3.50 a squirrel - since he tested the market at the beginning of the year. ' I wasn't sure at first, and wondered would people really eat it. Now I take every squirrel I can get my hands on."

"text": "Wildlife Education - Information, Advice, and Techniques for the Safe Removal of Squirrels from Attics Squirrel Diseases and Health Risks Are Squirrels A Health Risk To Humans? Contrary to popular belief squirrels do not pose much of a health risk to humans. Anecdotal evidence may suggest that humans can catch rabies from squirrels, but, this is not confirmed by any reputable research. One of the ways squirrels may be a health risk is because of their droppings. In common with other rodents squirrels take a spray approach with both their feces and urine which may pose the risk of salmonella infection to anyone coming into contact with it. Once you have successfully dealt with your squirrel infestation it is essential that you undertake a deep clean of the whole area used by the rodents – this may also involve replacing any insulation materials. The primary squirrel health risk is linked to ticks and fleas which squirrels tend to be infested with. Ticks carry the danger of tick fever and, once carried into your home by squirrels, may also infest your household pets. Fleas are also associated with squirrels and may also take up residence in your family pet – and once a flea or tick infestation has begun it is notoriously difficult to get rid of as these microscopic insects take up residence in carpets, soft furnishings and furniture. Rabies Although any warm-blooded mammal (that's all mammals, by the way) can get rabies, some animals just aren't really very susceptible, nor are they common vectors of the disease (likely to spread it)."

"text": "Animals That Live With the Giant Panda By S. Mc Mullen | Updated October 18, 2017The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) lives in the Yangtze Basin, one of the most biologically diverse regions of China. Found in mixed broadleaf and evergreen forests, pandas live in a narrow range of altitude, between 4,200 and 12,000 feet. The mountainous forests of the Yangtze Basin are home to an amazing diversity of animal species, including many rare and endemic species. Because the region is also a major economic center for China, many species are threatened with extinction. Red Panda Found only in the mixed foliage forests of eastern China and Nepal, red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) live in the same ecosystem as the giant panda. Although it is called a panda, the species is actually a relative of raccoons. Small and arboreal, red pandas are named for their striking rust-red coat, which is accented by white facial markings, a dark belly and striped tail. Solitary and nocturnal, they mark their territory with glandular secretions and urine. Like the giant panda, the red panda subsists on bamboo, supplementing its diet with eggs and insects. Although protected, they still face extinction due to habitat destruction."

"text": "Hairless Squirrels? By Brian J. Mac Gowan and Harmon P. Weeks, Jr. People can be taken aback by the sight of squirrels missing hair. This past winter, sightings of partially furred squirrels seemed to be more frequent than usual. Like many wildlife issues, the cause of hair loss in squirrels is not easy to answer and often results in more questions than answers. In most situations, hair loss does not impact populations of squirrels. However, individuals may be impacted during winter. Most people assume, often incorrectly, that hair loss in squirrels is the result of mange, a disease caused by microscopic mites that burrow into the skin and are unseen by the naked eye. Hair loss attributed to the squirrel mange mite, Notoedres douglasi, has been reported in both fox and gray squirrels. Notoedric mange is different from sarcoptic mange. The latter, caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, occurs primarily among red foxes and coyotes."

The Chinese endangered species classifications are updated relatively infrequently, and a number of species deemed to be endangered by international bodies have not yet been so recognized in China.

Of the six species, two have subspecies that are federally endangered; the Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel, Carolina northern flying squirrel and the Virginia northern flying squirrel. Because of the three federally protected species it is important for the homeowner to distinguish what species of squirrel is being problematic before taking control measures. The easiest way to determine if the problematic squirrel is a federally protected species is to compare the problem location to the species county distribution maps (below). The common fox squirrel is primarily a western Virginia species that can be confused with the Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel on looks alone, however the Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel is only know to occur in Accomack and Northampton counties, both of which have never had any common fox squirrel occurrence records. The federally endangered northern flying squirrel can be distinguished from the common southern flying squirrel by noting that the northern flying squirrel is only found in Grayson, Highland, Montgomery, and Smyth counties in high elevations of red spruce or Fraser fir.

The southern flying squirrel is also found as far north as Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick and as far south as Honduras. However, it is relatively uncommon to find this species inhabiting the Canadian provinces. ( Dolan and Carter, 1977; Linzey and Nature Serve (Hammerson G.), 2008)Four subspecies of Glaucomys volans, including G. v. volans, G. v.texensis, G. v. saturatus, and G. v. querceti inhabit North American forests north of Mexico. Although these four species are specific to different geographic ranges, G. v. querceti, G. v. saturatus, and G. v. texensis, from east to west, in the south and G. v. volans in the north, no evidence has shown that the four subspecies are distinctly geographically separated from one another. Six isolated subspecies have been found to inhabit mountainous regions of Mexico and Central America. The subspecies G. v. madrensis inhabit the Sierra Madre Occidenal in areas of western Chihuahua and eastern Sinaloa. The next subspecies, G. v. herreranus inhabit the Sierra Madre Oriental throughout regions north and east of Mexico City, as far south as Veracruz. The range of G. v. chontali is limited to a small area southwest of Oaxaca. Glaucomys volans oaxacensis is found throughout the Madre del Sur, as far south as Oaxaca and as far north as Guerrero."

American red squirrels are also referred to as pine squirrels, North American red squirrels, and chickarees. They are small (200–250 g) diurnal mammals that defend a year-round exclusive territory. They feed primarily on the seeds of conifer cones, and are widely distributed across North America wherever conifers are common, except on the Pacific Coast of the United States, where they are replaced by Douglas squirrels. They are not found on most of the Great Plains or in the southeastern United States as conifer trees are not common in those areas. Recently, American red squirrels have been expanding their range to include primarily hardwood areas. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Taxonomy2 Description3 American red squirrel range4 Behavior4.1 Feeding4.2 Reproduction5 Dispersal and survival6 Gallery7 References8 External links Taxonomy [ edit]American red squirrels should not be confused with Eurasian red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris ); since the ranges of these species do not overlap, they are both commonly referred to as \"\"red squirrels\"\" in the areas where they are native. The specific epithet hudsonicus refers to Hudson Bay, Canada, where the species was first catalogued by Erxleben in 1771. [ 4] A recent phylogeny suggests the squirrels as a family can be divided into five major lineages."

But that's the end of Rocky's link to reality. For one thing, there are two species of flying squirrels in North America -- northern and southern -- both of which live in Pennsylvania.

They glide on flaps of furry skin, called patagia, that stretch from the front leg to the ankles of the back leg. The squirrels climb a tree, launch and glide to a lower position. Most glide lengths are 20 to 40 feet, but researchers have documented glides of up to 300 feet. During their coasts, flying squirrels steer by moving their furry tails from side to side."

Because of a recent fire that occurred in 1999, some of the prime fishing spots were destroyed. Although,some of the Creek remains intact, for the most part, the damage of the Creek far outweighs the beauty and extravagance that it once had held. Within Deep Creek are other branches that flow into the main stream. Holcomb Creek flows from the northward from the San Bernardino Mountains and joins at the Mojave River, eventually providing a major source of water for desert residents. Both streams flow through jagged canyons while their waters rush forward crashing against massive stones pausing in fishing pools as they rush toward the desert from the mountains. Conifers and Willows grow wildly along this creek, along with Sycamore, Cottonwood, Cactus, and other shrubbery. Deep Creek was designated by the state of California as a \"\"Wild Trout Stream\"\". Deep Creek has been known to be streaming with Rainbow ( Salmo gardnerii ) and Brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) for fly-fisherman. Fishing from Green Valley Lake down to Willow Creek is restricted to two fish using barb-less lures and Fly's only, Not only does Deep Creek have a large presence of trout, but it is also inhabited by many other animals, many of them endangered species."

They are not capable of flight in the same way as birds or bats but are able to glide from one tree to another with the aid of a patagium, a furry, parachute-like membrane that stretches from wrist to ankle. Their long tail provides stability in flight. Anatomically they are very similar to other squirrels but have a number of adaptations to suit their life style; their limb bones are longer and their hand, foot bones and distal vertebrae are shorter. Flying squirrels are able to steer and exert control over their glide path with their limbs and tail. Molecular studies have shown that flying squirrels are monophyletic and originated some 18–20 million years ago. Most are nocturnal and omnivorous, eating fruit, seeds, buds, flowers, insects, gastropods, spiders, fungi, bird 's eggs and tree sap. The young are born in a nest and are at first naked and helpless."

Credit: S. Cooper Digital | Shutterstock Squirrels are nimble, bushy-tailed rodents found all over the world. They belong to the Sciuridae family, which includes prairie dogs, chipmunks and marmots. There are more than 200 species of squirrels, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), and they are categorized into three types: tree squirrels, ground squirrels and flying squirrels. These three categories are further broken down into many squirrel types, such as Albino, Mountain Tree, Antelope, Spotted, Grey, American Red, Douglas, Fox, Pygmy, Northern Flying, Southern, Arizona Gray, Idaho, Arctic Ground, Albert’s, Franklin, Richardson, Rock, White and Black squirrel. Size Since there are so many types of squirrels, they range greatly in size. The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel. It grows to 2.8 to 5 inches (7 to 13 centimeters) in length and weighs just 0.35 ounces (10 grams). The Indian giant squirrel is the world's largest known squirrel. It grows to 36 inches (1 meter) long and weighs up to 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms)."

These items may be offered to your squirrel, but they may contain compounds that are unhealthy if eaten to excess. For example, fresh corn is very, very high in phosphorus which can exacerbate problems with metabolic bone disease in individuals with a diet already low in calcium. Always ensure food is thoroughly washed, free of pesticides and fresh. If its unfit for your consumption, its not going to be appetizing to your squirrel either.

"text": "\"The southern flying squirrel -- so dubbed because it is found primarily south of its colder-climate counterpart, the northern flying squirrel -- is found in the eastern United States down into Mexico. Known for its ability to leap great distances between trees, the flying squirrels have lifespans in the wild that are about half what they are in captivity. What is a Flying Squirrel? Flying squirrels don't really fly; they glide from a high elevation in one tree to a lower elevation in another. This is often a defense mechanism as the squirrels try to escape predators by gliding to densely packed lower branches. They have flaps of skin that run from their front legs to their back legs that, when extended, catch the wind to slow their descents. Most glide up to 30 feet from one tree to another, but flying squirrels have been known to glide as far as 270 feet from high elevations. Wild Lifespan Southern flying squirrels tend to reach their sexual maturity before they're a year old, so they can reproduce several times within short lives. This is a handy trait, considering most southern flying squirrels only live to age 5 or 6 in the wild. These critters are the smallest species of flying squirrel, topping out at about 9 inches long, while their northern counterparts are around 12 inches long."

Then, with a few powerful wing strokes, the beast takes off, using its webbed feet to hop off the waves until it clears the water. As it draws near, the primeval pterosaur transforms into an ordinary brown pelican. Keven Padian, a paleontologist at the University of California, Berkeley, stands on the beach gazing at the birds through binoculars. Watching coastal birds helps Padian envision the time when pterosaurs occupied the same ecological niche, plunging for fish like pelicans, soaring like gulls, and pecking at the sand like sandpipers. \"\""

"text": "What do they look like? Northern flying squirrels weigh between 75 and 140 grams, and range from 275 to 342 mm in length. They have silky grey and cinnamon brown fur, with white tipped and grey based belly hairs. Northern flying squirrels have a furred patagium (fleshy membrane) that extends from the wrist of the foreleg to the ankles of the hindleg. The tail is furred, flattened, rounded at the end, and long (80% of the length of the head and body). Northern flying squirrels have large black eyes, which they use for nighttime activity. Southern flying squirrels, which appear similar to northern flying squirrels, can be distinguished because they are smaller and the hairs on the belly are often white all the way to the base of the hair.

Northern flying squirrels range from the treeline in Alaska and Canada southward in the west to northern California and Colorado, in the middle of the continent to central Michigan and Wisconsin, and in the east to northern North Carolina and Tennessee. Small populations live in the mountains in other parts of the United States, including the southern Appalachian Mountains, the Black Hills, and the Sierra Nevada."

They are found in coniferous and mixed coniferous forests across much of Canada, from Alaska to Nova Scotia, and south to the mountains of North Carolina and west to Utah, Washington, and Oregon in the United States. They are light brown with pale underparts and grow to a length of 25 to 37 cm (10 to 15 in). They are good gliders but clumsy walkers on the ground. They feed on a variety of plant material as well as tree sap, fungi, insects, carrion, bird eggs and nestlings. They mostly breed once a year in a cavity lined with lichen or other soft material. Except when they have young, they change nests frequently, and in winter a number of individuals may huddle together in a shared nest. Unlike most members of their family, flying squirrels are strictly nocturnal.

Gary Carter Photo Great Smoky Mountains National Park contains some of the largest tracts of wilderness in the East and is a critical sanctuary for a wide variety of animals. Protected in the park are some 65 species of mammals, over 200 varieties of birds, 67 native fish species, and more than 80 types of reptiles and amphibians. You can see where to find many of these species on the Species Mapper. The symbol of the Smokies, the American Black Bear, is perhaps the most famous resident of the park. Great Smoky Mountains National Park provides the largest protected bear habitat in the East. Though populations are variable, biologists estimate approximately 1,500 bears live in the park, a density of approximately two bears per square mile. Of the 65 other mammal species documented in the park, the white-tailed deer, groundhog, chipmunk, and some squirrel and bat species are the most commonly seen. Over 200 species of birds are regularly sighted in the park, 85 of those migrate from the neotropics. Some 120 species nest here."

When people find young squirrels, whether tiny eyes-closed infants or slightly older eyes-open (but un-weaned) babies, it is usually due to one of 5 scenarios: The mother is gone – trapped and removed or killed. The nest has failed – high winds or heavy rain may contribute – or tree trimming/removal that destroys the nest. Young may be found on the ground or in a fallen nest. The mother is moving her young, and one has fallen or been separated. Predation of the nest has occurred – if a cat or crow for example, raids the nest. The family pet brings a baby home – this scenario can follow any of the first four, if a pet finds a baby on the ground."

"text": "May 2, 2013 By RMBELHow Frogs, Turtles and Insects survive winter This week the temperature plunged and our lakes froze over pretty quickly. We humans retreated into the shelter of our heated homes and warm coats. The only animals you see outside now are warm-blooded animals such as rabbits, deer and squirrels. So what happens to the cold-blooded animals like aquatic insects, frogs and turtles when the lakes freeze? First of all, remember that water is most dense at 39 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, lake water is insulated by the ice and remains about 39 degrees at the bottom of the lake. This temperature is still cold, but it stays relatively stable and is a much better habitat than the winter air. In the winter, frogs and turtles enter a form of hibernation. They survive by slowing their metabolism to where their heart beats so slowly that you can barely detect it. Turtles spend the winter dug into the mud at the bottom of a pond or stream."

Tweet 0 Share 0 +1 0 Pin it 0Gray squirrels are a common sight in many city parks and rural woodlands, but where do flying squirrels live? Like their flightless relatives, flying squirrels thrive in a habitat with many trees and plenty of places to find their favorite food. Unlike other squirrels, they use trees as launching pads. Flying squirrels don’t really fly. They glide. To get started, they push themselves off the trunk or large branch of a tree. They stretch out their limbs so that two folds of skin along the sides of their body fan out like sails. Momentum carries them through the air until they land on the next tree up to 320 feet away."

Holsters are often attached to a belt or waistband, but they may be attached to other locations of the body (e.g., the ankle holster). Holsters vary in the degree to which they secure or protect the firearm."

By Gary Paul Johnston For the first time since its inception, the SWAT team of the Los Angeles Police Department–the most respected group of its kind in the world–has a brand-new sidearm: the Kimber Custom II. The First SWAT Team On August 11, 1965, as a young police officer with the Los Angeles Police Dept., assigned to what is now the Southwest Division, I was embroiled in the first Watts riot, one of the most lawless and violent incidents in American history. It took two weeks to return order to the city. As a result of that riot, the LAPD formed a special unit to deal more efficiently with all critical incidents. The first element of this unit was in place by 1967 and was called the Special Weapons And Tactics team. Its acronym–SWAT–would influence law enforcement around the world!Working under the LAPD’s highly specialized Metropolitan Division, today’s LAPD SWAT team is a far cry from the 1960’s version. Growing in number of officers and increasing in refinement, the team has stayed on the cutting edge of the constantly changing science of resolving crisis incidents. A SWAT cop’s priorities are to stop the killing and prevent the dying."

"text": "The Handguns of Ian Fleming’s James Bond By Bradley Steele, 7289 | Published: 13 January, 2008Ian Fleming posing with a S&W Centennial © Dan Wynn In the world of 1950’s fiction, Ian Fleming’s use of firearms in his novels was unusual. Fleming’s contemporaries identified guns by generic terms like “.38″ or “.45″ and on occasion offered more detailed descriptions such as “small automatic” or “large revolver”. Hoping to add realism to his writing, Fleming took the innovative step of actually naming the models of guns used by his characters. Fleming initially drew upon his own considerable experience and observations, acquired during World War Two as a high level member of British Naval Intelligence. However, like many people with little more than a passing interest in firearms, Fleming’s knowledge of model numbers, caliber and cartridges was not detailed. Always the good journalist, Fleming did check the details in his work with outside sources. For his first novel Casino Royale Fleming consulted London Gunsmith Robert Churchill who corrected the spelling of “Beretta”. Eventually, Fleming’s attention to detail drew the interest of firearms enthusiast Geoffrey Boothroyd. In a 1956 letter to Fleming, Boothroyd was critical of Bond’s favorite pistol, the .25 Beretta. Impressed by the expertise imparted in Boothroyd’s fan letter, Fleming decided to re-arm his secret agent using Boothroyd’s recommendations as guidelines."

Lots of people “carry appendix.” Many do not. Frequently the 2 sides argue about it – because, you know, you might shoot off your cock’n’balls . Most of our minions like AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waist Band) and carry that way, not least because it’s so comfortable ( MDFI ‘s Erik Utrecht wore a G19 in an RCS VG2 from Michigan to Arizona on a bicycle during Trek’s Trek). One staunch proponent of AIWB is Matt Jacques of Victory First; we asked him to pontificate a bit about it. We will run a counter-point (i.e. someone who thinks AIWB is a bad idea, or at least a less good one) as soon as we find an SME willing to write it. Mad Du o Appendix Carry: Is It For You?

Awhile back I lost 1/2 my prostate to cancer, this means more than regular visits to the toilet often in public places. Pocket holster carry in my cargo pants has been questionable. A fast or even clean draw is difficult, even going down to a Ruger LCP Ruger® LCP® Centerfire Pistol Models Anybody with experience I'm leaning toward a Galco BUT I live in FL and I need something perspiration tolerant. So, experience, suggestions, comments. Geoff Who notes shoulder systems start high and get higher as you price options.12-26-2012, 03:41 AM # 2Irish Cop Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006Location: Decatur, Al Posts: 2,586I fully understand your situation, Skeptic. For quite a while after my accident I had no real choice other than shoulder carry, even though it never worked well for me in the past. I have used Galco before, and even went with a high dollar Kramer rig, which was quite nice and fairly comfortable. But to tell the truth, the horizontal rigs with twin mag pouches on the opposing side just got to be too much weight for an all-day comfortable carry (that's a 1911 and two 7 round spares.) I finally went with a Bianchi X-15 vertical carry holster."

In recent years, disc golf (or frisbee golf) has sharply risen in popularity as a recreational and professional sport played by tens of thousands around the world. It’s a low-cost, community strengthening sport that currently has over 3,000 established courses. Just like conventional golf, high levels of disc golf play require significant coordination and an intimate understanding of the launched object’s midflight aerodynamics. The following disc drivers have been reviewed as some of the highest-quality and most reliable on the market for hobbyists and pro-level players alike.#1. MVP Neutron Tesla Distance Driver View it on Amazon: $14.95**Price typically updated every 24 hours. Current price may be different. The MVP Neutron Tesla Distance Driver’s size range is 150-175 grams. The driver’s stability range is classified as stable-overstable, signifying that it should be expected to fly relatively straight while veering slightly to the left. It’s intended to make subtle turns instead of sharp turns, with a fade that can be counted on to follow the general path of the throw itself."

This skill was made popular by romanticized depictions of gunslingers in the Western genre, which in turn were inspired by famous historical gunfights in the American Old West. In modern times, fast draw can be seen both in sports and in military practices. The World Fast Draw Association (WFDA) is the international sanctioning body of the sport of fast draw.

"text": "When we first reviewed the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid we noted it was taking direct aim at the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid, the two most popular mid-size hybrid sedans, and said, “Keep your eye on the new kid on the hybrid block. ”We weren’t wrong, the Sonata Hybrid kicked butt. After its first three months on the market, the newbie established itself as the second best selling gas-electric in the United States, trailing only the indomitable Toyota Prius, a position it maintained through the end of 2011. The Sonata Hybrid’s meteoric rise on the hybrid sales chart wasn’t just about the car’s EPA fuel economy rating of 35 city/40 highway and 37 combined – there were seven other hybrid cars with higher ratings. Buyers were also enticed by the Sonata’s eye-riveting styling and tech-rich standard equipment at a price that was difficult to pass up. For 2012, the Sonata Hybrid reprises the 2011’s exterior and interior styling, but adds Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system as standard and offers an optional Leather package ($1,500). The 2012 Sonata Hybrid is available in just one trim level and has a base price of $25,850, a $55 price bump from the 2011 model. Balancing Highway and City MPGHyundai went its own direction on hybrid technology by developing original proprietary hybrid architecture to reduce weight and to improve highway fuel economy. Unlike hybrid systems from Ford and Toyota, the Hyundai system does not use a continuously variable transmission with integrated electric motors and generators. Instead, Hyundai employed its new six-speed automatic transmission with an electric motor that takes the place of the torque converter."

It is meant to showcase Lincoln ’s traditional brand image in an upgraded sedan and is the first of four new debuts for the company over the next three years. Lincoln even groups the various optional features for the MKZ into eight different equipment packages, including the most popular features, to help streamline the purchasing experience. New For 2013Although the all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ is still based on the Ford Fusion, the luxury sedan continues to offer V-6 power. The MKZ gains the brand’s new design language, which is a modern interpretation of the 1941 Continental. Inside, there are higher-quality materials, and center-stack mounted gear-select buttons free up space on the center console for increased storage solutions. Exterior The 2013 Lincoln MKZ takes its cue from the major design shift that has revamped Jaguar and kept the fabled brand from a slow slog into irrelevance. The latest Lincoln sedan, like the skin of a drum pulled tightly over the façade, looks like a car ready to burst out onto the road. It is sure to appeal to a younger demographic looking for sleekness. Interior & Cargo The MKZ’s most noticeable innovation is its restyled split-wing front grille made to resemble an eagle spreading its wings."

It is a twin of the Ford Fusion, while being slotted below the luxury-spec Lincoln MKZ (formerly Lincoln Zephyr) sedan. The Milan was first shown at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, and was sold in the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands), Mexico, and the Middle East. With Ford eliminating the Mercury division, production of the Milan ended December 17, 2010. [ 2] It is named for the Italian city of Milan. The Milan differs from the Fusion by featuring unique front and rear fascia designs, LED taillight clusters, projector head lamps and fog lamps, and an upgraded interior.

"text": "\"I Drove A Car With 'Adaptive Cruise Control' And It Was Amazing Matthew De Bord Sep. 9, 2014, 10:12 AM 15,693A very nice hybrid sedan with a very nice optional feature. Ford Media I test drive a lot of cars, but one feature I often overlook is cruise control. This is partly because I spent the last decade in Southern California, where freeway driving is often defined by low-speed, high-traffic, stop-and-go motoring. Sure, there are opportunities to drive for long stretches and not encounter much traffic. But I tend to enjoy the physical process of driving, so switching on the cruise control and \"\"disconnecting\"\" from drive isn't something I'm prone to do. However, I recently took a Ford Fusion Hybrid on a long drive on the East Coast. This is a very nice midsize sedan that's very affordably priced at just over $26,000 — and that gets very good gas mileage, at about 41 mpg city/highway combined. And it has an cool optional feature, something called \"\"adaptive cruise control\"\" (ACC). This is like the cruise control we all know and love (but might rarely use) — with a brain. A small, limited brain that can only do a few things."

But dig your nails below the surface and there’s considerable news inside the cabin and under the skin. The ninth-generation A4 has a reworked engine, a new transmission, a lighter body, and numerous advanced safety features, plus the availability of Audi’s customizable digital instrument panel, as already seen in the TT and the 2017 Q7. The A4’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has been reworked to produce 252 hp, up from 220. But instead of the previous combo of a CVT automatic for front-drive models and an eight-speed automatic for all-wheel-drive models, all 2017 A4s will come with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Audi has addressed the A4’s cramped rear seat with increased legroom, along with more shoulder and headroom up front, although specific dimensions weren’t given."

The Lincoln MKZ was completely overhauled last year, and it now embodies the future of Lincoln's design language. This follows what is essentially the third fresh start for the company since the late 1990s, and in this case, it's first car in what Ford is calling a reinvention of the entire brand. The 2014 MKZ gives us some encouragement for what Lincoln has up its sleeve for future products, but it also tells us some hard truths about what the brand is today. Where Cadillac has successfully redesigned its brand from the ground up over the past 10 years, Lincoln has faltered along the way. The MKZ has been one of its only shining stars–bringing in a younger demographic of shoppers with improved gas mileage and modern technologies–but it's done so by essentially removing itself from anything else Lincoln has stood for the past. And it's even more distant from the past, and from the rest of the lineup, in 2014 trim. The massive wings and Weber-grade grilles of the recent past have been put out for tag sale. This MKZ has a subtler take on luxury, more along the lines of Lexus and Volvo. Those Volvo influences are especially noticeable at the rear, and inside, with the floating effect penned into the center console."

"text": "Among the many sayings attributed to Abraham Lincoln is this one: “If I should call a pig’s tail a leg, how many legs would it have? Only four, because my calling the tail a leg would not make it so.” Although in truth Honest Abe merely appropriated this bit of folk wisdom for his own speechifying purposes, it’s still relevant in considering this newest sedan from his eponymous brand. The 2013 Lincoln MKZ is ostensibly a luxury car, but one built by Ford, whose nearly complete lack of understanding of the genre has been on wide display for at least a decade. ( See: Jaguar, et al.) Which is not to damn the MKZ for its lineage, but rather to suggest that Russian director Timur Bekmambetov’s recent depiction of the 16th president fighting the undead in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is only marginally less fanciful than the thinking vis-à-vis Lincoln that’s been going on lately in Dearborn. Indeed, Ford is battling its own demons with the MKZ, principally in the form of the 2013 Fusion, a nameplate with which the new Lincoln model again shares its roots. In base front-wheel-drive trim, the Fusion plays in an altogether different class, but that same car can be easily optioned up to and beyond the $36,800 starting price of the MKZ. Whereupon that spendthrift Ford customer will actually be acquiring most of the Lincoln’s optional features at a considerable saving, from all-wheel drive to nav to driver-assist features like automatic parallel parking, lane-departure intervention, and adaptive cruise control. An MKZ equipped similarly to a loaded Fusion costs some $9000 extra, and by the time the Lincoln customer ticks the boxes for the MKZ’s two signature options, a 3.7-liter V-6 ($1230) and a retractable glass roof that obstructs rear visibility when opened ($2995), he will be looking at a price tag much like the one of our $51,185 test vehicle."

"text": "\"Car Liststhis article on: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email The Top 10 Most Powerful Front-Wheel-Drive Cars Can you say, \"\"torque steer\"\"? By: Jake Holmes, Joseph Capparella May 29, 2015Previous Next Y ou’d think that a list of powerful front-wheel-drive cars would include plenty of hot hatchbacks and inexpensive performance cars. But today’s mainstream sedans and crossovers are more powerful than ever, even though engineers and drivers are well aware of the compromises in handling that result from routing this much power through the front wheels. Even though they might not be sporty, here are the most powerful front-wheel-drive vehicles you can buy today, ranked from most horsepower to least.2016 Lincoln MKX: 335 hp, 380 lb-ft The 2016 Lincoln MKX debuted at this year’s Detroit auto show, but what we didn’t know then was that Lincoln would offer the powerful, twin-turbo 2.7-liter Eco Boost V-6 in combination with front-wheel drive. Ford uses this engine in both the Edge crossover and the new F-150 pickup, but clearly Lincoln wants to differentiate itself by increasing output in the MKX—the 2.7L makes 10 hp and 5 lb-ft more in this luxury crossover than it does in the much larger F-150, not to mention its 20 hp and 30 lb-ft advantage over the related Ford Edge.2015 Ford Edge: 315 hp, 350 lb-ft Though the 2015 Ford Edge is down on power compared with its aforementioned luxury stablemate, the Sport model’s 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 is nothing to sneeze at. Its 315 hp and 350 lb-ft make it significantly more powerful than the rear-wheel drive Ford Mustang ’s new four-cylinder Eco Boost that’s getting all sorts of attention. Though we haven’t actually driven the front-wheel-drive version, we’re willing to bet that the Edge Sport is much more capable of living up to its name when equipped with the optional all-wheel-drive system for this high-powered turbo V-6.2016 Acura RLX: 310 hp, 272 lb-ft Acura’s largest sedan is one of the only front-wheel-drivers competing in a class of established rear-wheel drive luxury sedans from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and others. Its 3.5-liter V-6 puts 310 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque through the front wheels, making it the most powerful Honda/Acura product barring the new 2016 Acura NSX supercar. Luxury buyers don’t seem convinced that the RLX has the goods, as this slow-selling sedan has only moved a measly 737 units in 2015 so far.2015 Cadillac SRX: 308 hp, 265 lb-ft The Cadillac SRX is a strong seller despite its age, and comes standard with GM’s ubiquitous 3.6-liter, direct injection V-6 engine. It makes 308 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque in this application, and though all-wheel drive seems like a more natural fit for a luxury crossover like the SRX, front-wheel drive is standard for those in milder climates."

The so-called “Efficiency Leaves” display on the dash of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a real charmer, one of those brilliant interactive creations that, like the touchscreen of the Apple i Phone, proves as user-friendly as it is delightful. Drive the Fusion Hybrid frugally, and watch as the display’s leaves and vines grow (when the virtual branches become truly lush you’re doing especially well). On the other hand, make jackrabbit starts, drive too fast, brake late and hard (producing little regen), and you’ll start dropping leaves like a Vermont sugar maple in October. Sounds silly, perhaps, but from behind the wheel it’s a remarkably effective motivator. After all, who wants to be the earth-thug who hears from the back seat, “Daddy! You’ve lost all the leaves!”View all14 Photos“We didn’t simply want a display of numbers to indicate fuel efficiency,” says Sonya Nematollahi, Ford driver information supervisor on the Fusion Hybrid project. “"

Introduced for model year 2006, the Fusion is manufactured at Ford's Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly plant along with its rebadged variant the Lincoln MKZ — and formerly with its now discontinued rebadged variant, the Mercury Milan, [2] all sharing the CD3 platform. Production on the first Fusions began on August 1, 2005.

The Fusion is positioned between the compact Ford Focus and full-size Ford Taurus. [ 3] In the Middle East, this model is sold alongside the Mondeo. Versions sold there are available only with the 2.5-liter engine. Unlike in the United States, Canada and Latin America, no V6 engine is available in that region.

It’s easy to see why some automakers resist putting premium features in mass market models. All you need to do is look at that luxury showroom to the right. In the quest to differentiate, say, the Ford Fusion from its Lincoln counterpart, or the Toyota Avalon from the Lexus ES, and so forth, manufacturers limit the options and luxuries available on the more pedestrian models. On the surface, the Optima SXL’s mission could be confused with that of competitors from other non-luxury marques — Accord Touring and Fusion Titanium to name two — but Kia takes its top-trim game a couple steps further. You see, Kia is in a different position as the Optima has no luxury branded sistership and Kia has nothing to lose by creating an Optima trim that could arguably compete with the Acura TLX and Lincoln MKZ. However, the Optima SXL’s existence does give rise to a very important question: Can a gussied-up family sedan be a value alternative to a near-luxury option, such as the TLX or MKZ? Or is this a case of “making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear?”Let’s find out.2016 Kia Optima SXL Review Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

RIO RANCHO OBSERVER— FILE PHOTOImproving your varsity team through the use of foreign exchange students will be a thing of the past when the fall sports season begins in late August around the state. Not all of Rio Rancho's coaches are happy about the ruling from the New Mexico Activities Association, but all of them will have to live by it. According to NMAA assistant director Rudy Aragon, a former assistant principal at RRHS, \"\"This past fall, the NMAA Bylaws Committee, which included school representatives from throughout the state, met to make recommendations regarding NMAA bylaw revisions. \"\" One of the issues that came up was the fact that foreign students were having an impact on the high school sports scene and that several schools districts were ‘welcoming' (the non-political word) students to their schools with the intent of utilizing their athletic talents to enhance the quality of their teams,\"\" Aragon explained. \"\" As a result, adjustments to the regulations regarding foreign students and including foreign exchange students were recommended. As is required of all bylaws prior to their enforcement, they passed the commission, were ratified by the board and sent to the membership via referenda for a vote. \"\" The results of the vote were in favor of making the adjustment to the regulation which will now read that foreign exchange students are eligible to compete at the sub- varsity level only. \"\" Truth be told, only one Rio Rancho team has won a state championship, due in part to a foreign exchange student: the 2005 Rio Rancho High School volleyball team. Many will recall the fall of 2005 as the time when the Rams were forced to forfeit 17 victories by the NAA for using an ineligible player, albeit a transfer from Moriarty - not Germany, where junior outside hitter Irina Schober hailed from."

As strategic partners, we enjoy an extensive framework of cooperation spanning political, economic, security, development, education and people-to-people ties. The bilateral relationship is underpinned by a series of regular high-level meetings. These include the Indonesia-Australia Annual Leaders’ Meeting, the Foreign and Defence Ministers’ 2+2 Meeting, the Trade Ministers’ Meeting and the Ministerial Council on Law and Security. The most recent Annual Leaders' Meeting was on 26 February 2017, when Indonesian President Joko Widodo visited Australia for his first official state visit. Leaders acknowledged the deep historical ties between Australia and Indonesia as the foundation for a strong 21st century partnership. Leaders discussed investment and creating jobs, safeguarding our open sea lanes, cooperating to fight terrorism and deter transnational crime, and celebrating both countries diversity by building deeper community understanding of each other’s societies, languages and cultures. Leaders witnessed the signing of a Joint Declaration on Maritime Cooperation [PDF 117 KB] and Declaration of Intent on Cooperation on Creative Economies [PDF 44 KB].

"text": "\"Globalization Thomas W. Zeiler Globalization became a buzzword following the end of the Cold War, but the phenomenon has long been a factor in the foreign relations of the United States and has deep roots in history. To the extent that it meant the expansion of trade and investments, it can be defined as economic expansion, as in the transition from territorial expansion in the nineteenth century to the increasing internationalization of markets in the twentieth century. In the aftermath of World War II, economic internationalism, or the suggestion of growing interdependence of nations and the development of international institutions, seemed to capture the essence of what more recently has been termed globalization. But such usages are too limited; they do not adequately define a phenomenon that shaped American diplomacy and its constituent elements of economics and culture. DEFINITION AND CONCEPTUALIZATION\"\"Globalization\"\" is a fairly new term. Professor Theodore Levitt, a marketing professor at the Harvard Business School, apparently first employed it in a 1983 article in the Harvard Business Review. It is arguable, however, that the basic concept dates to the first humans. Defined broadly, globalization is the process of integrating nations and peoples — politically, economically, and culturally — into a larger community. In this broad sense, it is little different from internationalization. Yet globalization is more than this incremental process that over the centuries has brought people and nations closer together as technological innovation dissolved barriers of time and distance, and enhanced flows of information promoted greater awareness and understanding."

A German American pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Rev. Ezra Keller was the principal founder and first president of the college. Its initial focus was to train clergy with the Hamma School of Divinity as its theological department. One of its main missions was to \"\"Americanize\"\" Lutherans by teaching courses in the English language instead of German, unlike the nearby Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. The first class originally consisted of eight students at the beginning of the academic year, but grew to seventy-one by the end. With a faculty of one professor and two tutors, classes were held in Springfield, Ohio in a church on land that was donated. That city was selected for its location on the National Road, running from the East's cities of Baltimore and mountainous Cumberland, Maryland to the West in the Illinois Country, eventually to the territorial capital of Vandalia, near the Mississippi River. In 1874, women were admitted to the college, and, the following year, blacks were admitted."

Calcium is one of the building blocks of strong bones. We need to eat foods with calcium throughout our lives because our bones are always being broken down and rebuilt. Eating foods with calcium helps to prevent bones from becoming weak. Weak bones are more likely to fracture or break. Your body needs Vitamin D to help calcium be absorbed. Vitamin D also has possible roles in other areas of your health such as immunity, cardiovascular health, cancer prevention and more. However the roles are not well understood yet.

"text": "Healthy Eating: Taking Calcium and Vitamin DIntroduction Bone thinning occurs as part of aging. After age 30, men and women begin to lose bone mass. If over time your bones thin so much that they become fragile and in danger of breaking, you have osteoporosis. You can slow bone loss and could even prevent osteoporosis by eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is found in many foods. These include dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. It's also in fortified orange juice and many vegetables. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is especially critical for women in the first few years after menopause. During this time, bone mass is lost faster. If you do not get enough calcium and vitamin D from the foods you eat, talk to your doctor about how you can get the right amount. You may need to take supplements."

Here's your guide, in the form of a week's worth of well-rounded vegetarian breakfasts!When you're a vegetarian who wants to eat sufficient protein to reach ambitious fitness goals, no meal presents as significant a challenge as breakfast. Sure, you can have eggs—if you're an ovo or ovo-lacto vegetarian—but after a few dozen omelets, you're likely going to be on the verge of a burnout. Other popular protein-packed breakfast foods—like steaming sausage plates, sides of bacon, and slabs of ham—are literally off the table. Unfortunately, while a lack of protein might be the most glaring hurdle to mastering a well-rounded vegetarian diet, it's not the only essential nutrient you could be missing out on. A lack of animal-based foods means that omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12, zinc, and iron are all harder to come by. It's no wonder that many vegetarians resort to piling on the carbs, followed shortly by a small mountain of supplement pills. Don't give up on whole foods! Your meat-free life doesn't have to mean missed muscle gains and inadequate nutrition. These simple, nutrient-rich breakfast options can do wonders for your vegetarian diet, and they're all incredibly simple to make."

A vegetarian diet is associated with many health benefits because of its higher content of fiber, folic acid, vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and many phytochemicals and a fat content that is more unsaturated. Compared with other vegetarian diets, vegan diets tend to contain less saturated fat and cholesterol and more dietary fiber. Vegans tend to be thinner, have lower serum cholesterol, and lower blood pressure, reducing their risk of heart disease. However, eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, and long-chain n-3 (omega-3) fatty acids. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate supplements should be consumed. In some cases, iron and zinc status of vegans may also be of concern because of the limited bioavailability of these minerals. Issue Section: Health and nutritional status of vegetarians INTRODUCTIONA nationwide poll conducted in April 2006 by Harris Interactive reported that 1.4% of the American population is vegan, in that they eat no meat, fish, dairy, or eggs ( 1 ). Vegan diets are growing in popularity today among teenagers and youth, especially females."

Despite this restriction, you can meet your nutritional requirements and consume an adequate amount of calories by eating a variety of plant-based foods.

You can easily meet this goal by eating a variety of plant-based proteins. One cup of soybeans has 20 grams of protein, while the same portion of other legumes provides about 15 grams of protein. Whole grains, nuts and vegetables contain about 2 grams of protein per serving. Soy protein and quinoa contain all of the essential amino acids, which makes them a complete protein just like you would get from animal products. Beans are good sources of lysine, which is the essential amino acid you're most likely to lack from following a vegan diet, according to Vegan Health.org.

No one study, however, provides the last word on any subject, and single news reports may put too much emphasis on what appear to be conflicting results. In brief news stories, reporters cannot always put new research findings in their proper context. Therefore, it is rarely, if ever, a good idea to change diet or activity levels based on a single study or news report. The following questions and answers address common concerns about diet and physical activity in relation to cancer. Alcohol Does alcohol increase cancer risk? Yes. Alcohol raises the risk of cancers of the mouth, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), esophagus, liver, breast, and the colon and rectum. People who drink alcohol should limit their intake to no more than 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (hard liquor)."

But you do have to watch out: people who eat gluten-free tend to be deficient in a few vitamins and minerals, and their daily intakes of others may not quite meet recommendations, in part because gluten-free processed foods often aren't supplemented with extra nutrients. So what can you do about this? Obviously, you can take supplements—and if you're quite deficient in certain nutrients, your doctor may recommend you do so. ( Since mega-doses of many vitamins can have negative effects, it goes without saying that you should check with your doctor—and potentially undergo some testing to determine your actual nutrient levels—before beginning a major supplement regimen. ) But if you like the idea of getting as many of your nutrients from your food as possible, then here's a blueprint to help you target foods containing high levels of the particular vitamins and minerals you may be lacking. This may not eliminate the need for you to take supplements, especially if you're just diagnosed (you'll need to talk to your doctor about that), but it certainly can help.1 Vitamin B6: Infection-Fighting Vitamin Chickpeas can help you get vitamin B6 if you follow the gluten-free diet.

"text": "Rice Milk, Soy Milk, Nut Milk may be dangerous for babies and toddlers Rice Milk and Soy Milk for Infants and Toddlers – What You Should Know About Offering Babies and Toddlers Rice Milk, Soy Milk or Nut Milks Rice Milk, Soy Milk and Nut Milk should never be confused with (or used as a replacement for) breast feeding or infant formula, and care should be taken when replacing whole cow milk. These alternative “milks” do not have the right amount of nutrients needed to sustain healthy growth. These milks should not be offered to a baby under 12 months of age and you should consult your pediatrician about introducing them. You should never switch your infant from a soy based formula to plain soy milk. It is most important to distinguish the difference between a soy formula and soy milk; soy formula is formulated to contain the nutrients babies need to grow while soy milk is not. Infant formulas are based on whole cow milk; whole cow milk contains a variety of nutrients that are among those crucial to building good health in babies and toddlers. Many of these nutrients are not naturally occurring in alternative “milks” and while these milks may be fortified, fortification with nutrients seldom leaves these nutrients as bio-available as those that are natural. Soy Milk, Rice Milk and Whole Cow Milk – The Differences Whole cow milk contains natural calcium that is more easily absorbed and bio-available than calcium from other sources. It contains the “good” fats that are crucial to both infant and toddler development; a reason why pediatricians recommend whole milk, and not low fat, for a minimum of the first 2-3 years of age. Whole cow milk is also a great source of protein, another nutrient that is crucial in healthy development."

"text": "Nutritional Yeast: A great source of B12 and other B Vitamins Posted by Alisa Fleming| 15 Comments Because nutritional yeast has evolved as a nutritional supplement, it suffers from an unappealing name and a somewhat misunderstood reputation. Nutritional yeast, not to be mistaken with brewer’s yeast, is a deactivated yeast that according to Wikipedia, is “produced by culturing the yeast with a mixture of sugarcane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast. ”As a supplement, it is well known for being a good source of protein and B-complex vitamins. Since vegetarian / vegan diets can be deficient in B12, some like using nutritional yeast for this purpose, but keep in mind that not all brands of nutritional yeast are fortified with vitamin B12. Yet, even for those of us not seeking its supplementation powers, nutritional yeast should not be underestimated as a flavoring for food …Nutritional yeast has a relatively strong flavor that is somewhat similar to that pungent taste found in cheese. Like any food, nutritional yeast is loved by many and loathed by others. I personally fall in the middle ground. I do like using it in moderation (usually 1 tablespoon or less per serving) to offer a cheesy boost to certain recipes, without overpowering the entire dish. If you’re new to nutritional yeast, I do recommend easing in slowly. Big fans of nutritional yeast will use it in great quantity to make recipes like mock mac ‘n cheese."

Researchers are looking at whether it plays a role in a multitude of diseases ranging from multiple sclerosis to depression to cancer. Vitamin D has long been known to be important for bone health and is being added to foods like orange juice and to many brands of calcium supplements. Vitamin D has always been looked on as an unusual vitamin because, unlike any other nutrient, our bodies can actually make a substantial amount of vitamin D. Add in the fact that it acts more like a hormone than a vitamin, and you can see why there's a lot to know about vitamin D. We've recently heard from several readers who have had their blood checked for vitamin D and were surprised to learn that they were considered vitamin D deficient. They wrote asking us about vegan sources of vitamin D, the role of sunlight exposure, and what kind of supplements to use. We realized that it's a good time to answer some questions about vitamin D. What Does Vitamin D Do? Vitamin D is best known for its role in bone health - it helps our body absorb calcium. When vitamin D is deficient, we absorb very little calcium. That's the main reason that calcium supplements often also contain vitamin D. If calcium is not absorbed due to a vitamin D deficiency, the result is weaker bones that are more likely to fracture. More recent studies also suggest that older people with lower blood levels of vitamin D are more likely to lose their balance and fall, possibly because of vitamin D's role in promoting muscle function."

"text": "Food Sources of 5 Important Nutrients for Vegetarians Reviewed by Taylor Wolfram, MS, RDN, LDNPublished April 9, 2018alessiomari/i Stock/Thinkstock No matter which category of vegetarian you fall into, it is important to choose a variety of foods, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. Using the My Plate tips for vegetarians can help you make sure you are meeting your nutritional needs each day. Calcium Vegetarians should consume a variety of calcium sources in order to meet daily requirements. Dairy products are a rich source of calcium. If your diet does not include dairy products, calcium can be obtained from plant-based foods, but the amount of calcium that the body can absorb from these foods varies. Here is a list of vegetarian-friendly sources of calcium: Low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese Fortified plant-based milks such as soy or almond Fortified ready-to-eat cereals Calcium-fortified juice Calcium-set tofu Some leafy green vegetables including collard greens, turnip greens and kale Broccoli Beans including soybeans, chickpeas and black beans Almonds and almond butter Iron Vegetarians should consume a variety of iron sources to meet daily requirements. Consuming a good source of vitamin C (citrus fruits, peppers, tomatoes) at each meal increases iron absorption. Sources include: Fortified breakfast cereals Soybeans Some dark leafy greens including spinach and chard Beans Eggs Protein Protein is found in most plant foods as well as animal foods. Your body will make its own complete protein if a variety of foods and enough calories are eaten during the day. Vegetarian sources of protein include: Legumes such as beans, peas and lentils Whole grains Soy products Nuts and nut butters Dairy products Eggs Vitamin B 12B 12 is found in all foods of animal origin, including eggs and dairy products."

"text": "Eating for Strength and Recovery By Christine Rosenbloom, Ph D, RDN, CSSDPublished January 12, 2018Fog Stock/Vico Images/Alin Dragulin/Fog Stock/Thinkstock Active people don't want to think about injury, but anyone who participates in sports knows that muscle pulls, sprains, broken bones, stress fractures or orthopedic surgery may sideline you for a while. What you eat after injury can help you recover from surgery, heal wounds and strengthen bones and muscles to get you back on your feet and back to an active lifestyle. When injury strikes and you have to limit your physical activity, there is no need for the post-workout protein shakes or energy bars to fuel your workout. Instead, eat nutrient-rich foods three to four times a day to provide the needed vitamins and minerals without extra calories from pre- or post-workout snacks. Protein Focusing on high-quality protein foods aids wound healing and keeps your immune system strong. If you've had orthopedic surgery, it is normal for your appetite to be depressed. Try eating a small amount of protein at each snack and meal. Eggs, low-fat cheese or cottage cheese, yogurt and plain baked chicken all provide quality protein and are usually well-tolerated in the early days after injury or surgery. Vegetarians can get high-quality protein from soy-based foods. Almond milk is popular, but it is low in protein compared to cow or soy milk."

"text": "List of Foods High in Vitamin B12by GEORGIE FEAR, RD Oct. 03, 2017Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin or cobalamin, is an essential nutrient involved in many metabolic pathways. The recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms per day for adults over the age of 19. Pregnant and lactating women are advised to consume slightly more, 2.6 and 2.8 micrograms, respectively. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Most Americans are able to meet thier needs for Vitamin B12 through diet alone, and supplementation is often not necessary. However, some population groups may want to consider including fortified foods in their diet or a B12 supplement. As people age, changes to the digestive system result in less B12 being absorbed from foods. As a result, fortified foods and supplements may be the best source of Vitamin B12 for adults over the age of 50. Strict vegetarian and vegans may also need to consume supplemental B12 or include foods fortified with this nutrient. Because Vitamin B12 occurs naturally in animal-derived foods, people who choose to avoid animal products are most at-risk for inadequate Vitamin B12 intake. Before adding a dietary supplement to your diet, consult your doctor first to discuss what it best for you."

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."

They generally avoid people, but the lure of easy food, such as pet food or unsecured garbage, can result in backyard visits. Usually, the best thing to do is leave foxes alone, but here's what to do about the most common fox concerns: Contents Foxes out and about during the day Fox den under a porch, deck or shed Keeping pets safe from foxes Rabies and mange in foxes Foxes out and about during the day Foxes have a natural fear of people. If you see one outside during the day, it's no cause for alarm. They will usually run away from you as soon as they detect your presence. There's no need to worry if you see a fox outside during the day—they are most likely just looking for food. John Harrison If not, the fox has probably learned to associate people with food (likely because someone has been feeding them), and may exhibit a boldness or even approach you. These foxes can easily be scared away by making loud noises such as yelling or blowing whistles, dousing them with water houses or squirt guns or throwing objects such as tennis balls toward them. For more tips about hazing, see our tips for hazing coyotes . Here are a few facts to put the presence of foxes in your yard in perspective: Foxes are not dangerous to humans, except when they are rabid (which is very rare) or when they are captured and handled."

Common Myths and the Reality of Chicken Hens Myth # 1) They are noisy. ( Q: Are chickens noisy? ) Reality: Chicken hens are one of the quietest domestic animals. They cluck softly from time to time, and will often cluck to let you know they recently laid an egg. Unless they are in danger, they do not squawk. They sleep at night just as people do and are completely quiet from dusk to dawn. They are quiet because they want to be left alone to hunt and peck and do not want to attract attention to themselves. Roosters, on the other hand, can be quite noisy as this is their role in the flock. Myth # 2) They are dirty. ("

Follow 19 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: To the people who say it is natural for birds to be kiled by cats, I will have to disagree. Cats are domestic pets, they have no niche in nature. Saying it is okay for a cat to kill a wild animal is a little like saying that it's okay for a wild animal to come into your house and kill your pet. That, of course, is ridiculous, because wild animals do not belong invading people's homes and killing pets. Well, pets do not belong invading nature and killing wildlife, either. They are an invasive species, allowed to roam and kill at will by their negligent owners. Owners who allow their cats to roam free do not care about their neighbors, whose gardens are used as litter boxes and whose birdfeeders are stalked; they do not care about the wildlife their cat kills and maims; they do not even truly care about their cats, or they would provide them a safe indoor home. “"

I had a beautiful lawn one day, then the next, my perfect lawn had ridges and holes all over it, with fresh holes and bumps appearing almost by the minute. As all the activity was taking place underground, I never saw the mole; I just saw the effects of its burrowing through the soil close to the surface. That’s when I started investigating the best mole traps!Our favorite trap is the Wire Tek 1001 , and we have provided a very in-depth review of this product. It’s a rather vicious looking contraption, but it gets the job done where others fail. This trap retails at around $33, and when you are desperate to get rid of moles, you’ll see that as a real bargain. However, if you feel that is a bit high for your budget, you’ll be pleased to note we have also reviewed two other traps that are a little less expensive. We haven’t gone into as much detail on these, but enough for a good overview.

Roaming a swath of territory extending from Alaska to Alabama, the humble groundhog is held responsible each year for predicting the start of spring (or the end of winter, depending on your perspective). Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil is perhaps the most well-known meteorological marmot; each year, on Feb. 2, tens of thousands of people wait patiently for the sleepy ground squirrel to emerge from his burrow and either lament the cloudy day or be startled by his own shadow. The former is said to mean an early spring is imminent, while the latter supposedly signals six more weeks of dreary winter weather. Although the groundhog finds himself in the spotlight once a year, he’s not hard to find the other 364 days. Ubiquitous in the backyards, highway medians and fields of nearly half the United States and most of Canada, groundhogs can often be a nuisance to homeowners and farmers. A Long Winter’s Sleep It’s fairly easy to tell if a family of groundhogs has taken up residence on your property. Often they make little effort to conceal themselves — groundhogs can commonly be found out in the open, sunning themselves in a patch of grass or atop a fence post. Or they may leave clues behind, such as chewed wood or plants, with tooth markings that are similar to that of a rabbit, but larger."

Foxes are naturally very timid creatures, and can become very tamed, however just like any wild animal, they cannot fully be trusted as they are far from being domesticated. Keeping a fox as a pet can be difficult for a number of reasons. Besides being unpredictable, they also have a very musky fox odor, that some have said is even worse than that of a ferret’s. These canines also have very sharp teeth that can seriously harm someone if they resort to their wild instincts.

Depending on the size of the territory and food availability anything up to seven adults can form the family group. A strict hierarchy will be present where usually only the dominant animals will breed. The family will usually be made up by the dominant dog fox and dominant vixen and several female helpers from previous litters. A certain amount of cubs born in one year will disperse to find territories and mates of their own. Males tend to disperse further than females. Foxes are usually active at dusk and dawn, but in quite areas can be just as active during the day as in the night. More daytime activity increases as the mating season approaches. Both the dog fox and the vixen will only have a short amount of time in which they will be able to mate, so the dog fox will mirror the very move of the vixen to ensure he will be there when the time is right. Although foxes mainly live above ground, the vixen in January will usually start preparing an earth in preparation for when she gives birth."

"text": "\"It is my goal to educate the public about foxes and other wildlife, and provide tips for safe, effective, and responsible wildlife removal. HUMANE HINTS: Foxes can be difficult to trap - effective leg-hold and paw-hold traps are considered inhumane. If you use a cage trap, be sure to set it in the shade and relocate the fox as soon as possible. If possible, attempt to deter the foxes from preying on sheep or chicken with electric fences, powerful noise or sound deterrents, or even a guard dog or even donkey. NEVER attempt to poison foxes. Read below for how-to hints. Summary of Step-By-Step Instructions:1) Purchase large cage traps - rated raccoon size or above, usually about 12\"\" x 12\"\" x 36\"\" or so. 2) Set traps with meat-based bait in areas of fox activity. Make sure traps are scent-free and flush to the ground, and set in the shade. 3) Relocate any trapped fox at least 10 miles from capture site."

"text": "You may be harming vulnerable wildlife like the San Joaquin kit fox without knowing it!The San Joaquin (SJ) kit fox was once a thriving species in the 1930s, making their home in native grasslands of the Central Valley. In 1967 the federal government listed them as an endangered species and in 1971 California also listed them as threatened. SJ kit foxes play an important role in the ecosystem, but because they are adapting to changes in the landscape that are caused by urban development, sometimes humans find themselves in conflict with this typically shy and fearful animal. The cities of Bakersfield, Taft and Coalinga are unique because kit foxes have become established in those urban settings. SJ kit foxes are hunters of insects, rodents and rabbits, but will take advantage of whatever is available including garbage and pet food. When kit foxes have easy access to trash and pet food, their natural behavior changes. They often lose caution and fear of people and urban environments exposing them to dangers from sports nets, poisons and vehicles. This young kit fox lost a rear leg after being entangled in a school volleyball net that was left out. Common nets causing these accidents are soccer goals, baseball batting cages, and volleyball nets. Please furl sports nets and put them away after use."

"text": "\"Pets Other - Pets Can you keep a fox as a pet?3 following 20 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This article I found may answer your question: Why foxes shouldn't be kept as pets: Have you ever wondered why such an endearing and beautiful creature like the fox has never been commonly kept as a pet? The reason is that the fox - despite being from the same canid family as the domestic dog - is simply not cut out to be a human companion. Compared to dogs, foxes are completely different in behaviour and character. From the moment a fox is born it has strongly inbuilt instincts to be afraid of man and this has been carefully developed through millions of years of evolution. It is true that some captive foxes are remarkably tame -sometimes inexplicably so - but even these can suffer great stress if taken out for a walk in the park like a dog. A cub hand-reared from one-day-old may get imprinted onto a human but will always suffer great stress when around other people. Being in constant fear results in much salivation from the mouth and can cause excessive diarrhea. Most healthy young foxes are able to fend for themselves independently in the wild by the time they are five or even four months old. These are instincts for a life in the wild, not a life in a house or an enclosure. So why would anyone want to keep a shy creature that runs and hides in the corner every time a human being is around, causing it great stress and discomfort for the rest of its life, not to mention taking away its freedom."

"text": "Foxes are classed as wild animals, not pests, and the Council has no statutory powers or legal rights to eradicate foxes on private or other land. Nuisance and risk Foxes can be a nuisance, particularly during the mating season when their screams can be heard at night, or when male foxes fight with each other over territory or a female fox. The problem of fox noise is seasonal and lasts for just a couple of weeks. Foxes will sometimes tear rubbish sacks open and leave the contents strewn all over the street. However, other animals, including pet cats and dogs, can also be responsible for this. Risks to humans and pets Attacks on children are extremely rare. Statistically, the risk that foxes pose is very small, and the risk from dangerous dogs is far greater. Foxes pose little danger to cats, but do sometimes chase them. Generally foxes will back away, knowing they will probably suffer a serious injury in a fight. Foxes may scavenge the remains of dead cats but actual evidence of them killing cats is extremely rare."

She has collected water-wise succulents for 10 years. Contact Author The Foxtail Fern Is an Easy Landscape Plant for the Waterwise Garden The foxtail fern is an evergreen, drought-resistant plant that needs little care and looks bright green all year long. It is also known as Asparagus meyeri or Asparagus densiflorus 'myers'. It is from the South Africa region and thrives in the Mediterranean climate zones, but can also flourish indoors in pots and be brought outdoors when the weather permits. It is an easy plant to care for and will offer many years of enjoyment in your yard.10 Reasons to Love the Foxtail Fern There is no trimming or pruning (as is necessary for hedges or roses). A mature plant will grow to 6 to 8 feet across, but new plants will stay about 3 or 4 feet across for 12 years or more. For the 32 years I have had my plant (pictured), pests have not attacked or diminished its health. It is easy to start new plants by dividing the base root system with 10 or 12 sprays attached. If you live in So Cal or a similar zone, you will be very happy with this plant."

Their tapered spikes of orange, yellow, pink or white flowers can add interest to mixed beds and borders. Unlike other lilies, the foxtail lily plant has unusual tuberous roots rather than a single foxtail lily bulb. Below you will find more on how to plant foxtail lilies and foxtail lily care. How to Plant Foxtail Lilies When planting the foxtail lily bulb, choose a location in well-draining soil that has been enriched with compost or other organic matter. While adequate drainage is important with these plants, also keep in mind that they do not like overly dry situations either. Planting of foxtail lily flower usually takes place in autumn (around September). The tuberous roots, which are extremely brittle, should be planted about 4 inches deep with at least 2 to 3 feet of spacing between plants. For greater results, make the planting hole wide, leaving the bud or crown facing up. Keep the crown within a couple inches of the soil surface, but cover the remaining tuberous roots well."

Hibiscus is probably our most commonly planted flowering shrub, and the tree forms of this plant are beautiful and eye-catching. Weeping hibiscus trees and shrub hibiscus standards (shrubs trained to a single tree-like trunk) are extremely versatile plants. They can add needed height to a garden bed, draw attention as a focal point, or act as a single specimen tree in a small space. Hibiscus is available in an amazing array of colors - from the typical red, pink, white or yellow to exotic and multicolored. There are literally thousands of beautiful colors and combinations, with single or double blooms. Leaves can have color too, like variegated Snow Queen and the pink/red foliage of Lava Red - both bloom with red flowers, a striking contrast to their leaf color. The classic weeping hibiscus is the Anderson Crepe, a pink-flowering fantasy with an exaggerated weep. Weepers are generally left to grow bigger than shrub standards - and they're low maintenance, requiring little trimming."

A good example is the asparagus fern. Despite its common name, these plants are not ferns. Asparagus ferns will flower and produce fruit containing seeds, something ferns never do. They also will thrive in harsher growing conditions than shade- and moisture-loving true ferns. Part of the common name is accurate, however. Asparagus ferns are closely related to edible asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). While asparagus ferns don't produce anything we can harvest and eat, they are versatile, reliable, easy to grow and useful in a variety of gardening situations. The most commonly grown asparagus fern is Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri.' This asparagus fern produces a mound of shiny, bright green, finely textured foliage about 18 to 24 inches tall and somewhat wider."

An evergreen shrub with needlelike stems, Foxtail Ferns exhibit more density than the closely related and more common Asparagus Fern - Sprengeri. Also called the Ponytail, Bottle Brush, and Emerald fern, the foxtail's branches create a cylindrical pattern around its core, growing upward like spires. Each branch can grow from 1 to 2 feet up; the plant as a whole can widen eventually to about 3 feet, with the branches draping over the edges of the pot. Foxtail Ferns can vacation out of doors in summer, but that makes them more prone to bugs, which are difficult to detect due to the density of the plant's foliage. This is a great plant for an Indoor Gardener who likes architectural shapes, a bright emerald-green color, and slow-growing container plants. It needs attention when first brought home or repotted, but once it adjusts, Foxtail Ferns become easy to care for.

Southern California has a variety of wild grasses with similar characteristics. These annual grasses are often found in weedy areas along paths and roads. From January until about March or early April, they are soft and green. In late spring, however, the seed heads begin to dry and the the danger begins, lasting throughout the summer until fall rains. The seeds of the drying or dried grasses detach from the plant and stick to a person's clothes or an animal's hair. They can easily become lodged between a dogs toes, in its ears, and in its eyes. Since the seeds are barbed like a fish hook, they can be very difficult to remove. Once embedded, foxtail seeds cause severe infections and abcesses."

One of the most beautiful Florida flowering trees, this is an ideal mid-size tree for snowbirds because of its winter color. When many other plants aren't in bloom, one of these magnificent purple-flowering trees can light up an entire landscape. The blossoms usually appear January through May. The foliage - large. gray-green, butterfly-shaped leaves - is attractive in itself and the long, droopy branches create a unique silhouette as they grow into a large, rounded canopy. The flowers attract butterflies and birds including hummingbirds. Too big for a small yard, the orchid tree is best suited for a large property or as a single specimen in a medium-sized landscape.

Foxtail is a common meadow grass that has soft brush like flowering spikes. Unfortunately, it is hard to bale hay without getting foxtail mixed in as well. If you have a load of hay delivered to your farm that contains foxtail, it doesn’t mean the hay is bad, and your horse may never be bothered by it at all. However, many horses are irritated by the small spikes that come from the foxtail. If you notice your horse not wanting to eat his hay or grain, check his gums and in between his teeth for ulcers or irritation. Sometimes their mouths will even bleed from the irritation or you may see the small foxtail spikes lodged in the gums. If you notice this, you may need to find another source of hay that does not contain the foxtail, and you should also consult with your veterinarian on how to treat the ulcers and inflammation."

The Sierra Nevada mountain range, also known locally as the \"\"Sierra\"\" or \"\"Sierra Nevada\"\", run 400 miles (640 km) north-to-south along eastern California, and occasionally in western Nevada. The name \"\"Sierra Nevada\"\" is Spanish, translating as \"\"Snowy Mountain Range\"\".

The Sierras are bordered by: the Great Basin in rain shadow on the east; the Cascade Range on the north; the Central Valley — San Joaquin Valley on the west; the Tehachapi Mountains linking the Transverse Ranges on the southwest; and the Mojave Desert on the south. Phytogeography [ edit]In phytogeography, concerned with the geographic distribution of plant species, floristic provinces are used. The Sierra Nevada are primarily within the California Floristic Province, with the Rocky Mountain Floristic Province to the north, the Great Basin Floristic Province to the east, and Sonoran Floristic Province to the south. Biogeography [ edit]In biogeography, concerned with the distribution of species spatially and temporally, a descending hierarchy is used, with an Ecozone at the top, then Biomes, followed by smaller Terrestrial Ecoregions. The Sierra Nevada are a small part of the North American continental Nearctic ecozone. The Sierras contain portions of two Nearctic biomes: The lower elevation western Sierra foothills are in the Nearctic Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub biome: which is represented here by the California chaparral and woodlands ecoregion's California interior chaparral and woodlands sub-ecoregion."

FDR, as he was called, served during the worst times in the history of the United States, including the Great Depression and World War II. Born January 30, 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, his uncle was the former President, Theodore Roosevelt. His mother, Sarah Delano, was his father's second wife, and she could trace her ancestry back to the Plymouth Colony. As the only son of a wealthy family, Franklin first attended the prestigious Groton School, where his sense of social responsibility was formed, and then went on to Harvard. He was only an average student, but during his senior year was the editor of the elite Harvard Crimson (the student paper). He graduated in 1903 and went on to Columbia Law School (1904-07), but he dropped out upon his admission to the New York State Bar Association in 1907. On March 27, 1905, he had married Eleanor Roosevelt, a distant cousin. As a young woman, Eleanor was shy, but she grew into one of the most prominent first ladies of this nation. In the latter part of her life she worked for social betterment, and she was highly regarded as a lecturer and newspaper columnist."

If a Vice President becomes President due to the death, resignation, or impeachment and conviction of the previous President, and if that term is LESS THAN TWO YEARS, that President would be eligible to run for two more terms. In other words, no President can be elected more than twice, but under certain circumstances, a President may serve up to ten years. Consider the example of Lyndon Johnson.

He was so sickly that he almost did not survive, and his worried parents held off naming him for two months. His father was James Roosevelt, a graduate of Union College and Harvard Law School, though not a practicing lawyer. James lived a life similar to an English country gentleman, with a large estate at Hyde Park in New York. Sara Delano, from an family background equally distinguished as the Roosevelts, was James Roosevelt's second wife, and was separated from him by twenty years. His age and her difficulty giving birth to Franklin prevented them from having any more children, and Franklin grew up as their beloved only child. His relationship with his parents, especially his mother, was very strong. It was her unshakeable faith in him that many believe gave him the self-confidence that enabled him to succeed later in life. French and German governesses educated Roosevelt until he was fourteen, and he spent most of his free time riding on the estate and playing by himself. He accompanied his parents on their travels to Europe and to all their social engagements."

S. patent system, the office of the presidency and the world of inventing have been forever entwined, either directly or indirectly. In this election year, Invent Help® is pleased to share these invention stories and how they relate to our United States presidents. George Washington 1789-1797Besides being credited as the \"\"inventor\"\" of our nation, George Washington played a roll in establishing the U. S. patent system. But why was he interested in inventing at all? Washington ran into a man named James Rumsey at an inn where both were staying. Rumsey showed Washington a model of his invention: a mechanical boat that could propel itself upstream by grappling on the bottom. Washington must have liked what he saw, because he wrote a letter of recommendation for Rumsey. Rumsey used Washington's certificate to obtain patents and support for his inventions from various state legislatures. But Rumsey's predicament required so much labor that it sparked Washington's interest in supporting inventors. In order to eliminate the need for inventors like Rumsey having to go from state to state to get patent protection for their idea, Washington pushed for the development of a constitution that could help establish a unified patent system for inventors."

Eleanor, born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt in New York in 1884, lost her mother Anna to diphtheria when she was eight. Her father, Elliot, a brother of Theodore Roosevelt, died as a result of alcoholism when she was 10 years old. As a result, Eleanor was raised by the extended Roosevelt family and met her future husband for the first time when she was just two years old and he was four. They saw each other frequently at dances and parties and over the years became very close. In 1903, a 22-year-old Franklin proposed marriage to the 19-year-old Eleanor; the couple wed two years later on St. Patrick’s Day. Former President Theodore Roosevelt gave away the bride. As Franklin pursued a career in politics, Eleanor raised four children (a fifth died in infancy), volunteered in civic organizations and worked for women’s suffrage before becoming first lady. A year after their wedding, Teddy Roosevelt, who was very fond of his niece, wrote to FDR, “you and Eleanor are true and brave, and I believe you love each other unselfishly…” However, their married life proved less than blissful. In 1918, Eleanor was devastated to discover that Franklin was having an affair with her secretary, Lucy Mercer."

The new Middle Class in society saw Roosevelt as a refreshing change from the \"\"solemn dignity\"\" nurtured by recent Presidents. The Middle Class dubbed him \"\"Teddy\"\" and soon he became known as simply, \"\"TR.\"\" He also faced many domestic issues. The slum conditions in the cities needed help, many manufacturing companies were destroying the envirornment in their search for natural resources, and the food industry was not regulated nor inspected to protect the health of the consumers.

( Library of Congress)One hundred years ago, Theodore Roosevelt stepped upon the stage at the Milwaukee civic auditorium, unbuttoned his coat to reveal a blood-stained shirt, and uttered one of the most famous lines of a presidential campaign: “It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. ”The “that” was a bullet from a .38-caliber revolver, aimed by John Flammang Schrank, 36, a down-on-his-luck Bavarian-born New York City saloonkeeper. Bullet-pierced shirt that Teddy Roosevelt wore during speech after the attempted assassination on Oct. 14, 1912. To Schrank, Roosevelt’s bid for a third term as President was, literally, his worst nightmare. On Sept. 14, 1912, he would later tell police, he dreamed he was writing a poem when he felt a tap on his shoulder and heard a voice say, “Let not a murderer take the presidential chair, avenge my death. ”The nocturnal visitor, Schrank was certain, was President William Mc Kinley. Mc Kinley’s death on Sept. 14, 1901, from an assassin’s bullets, left Roosevelt running the country. A landslide victory in 1904 gave the former Rough Rider a second term.

Lately, as the crisis in the U. S. economy has deepened, and, as Election Day gets closer, they have also been much evoked. Theodore and Franklin’s resumes have many common elements including this one: Both presidents attended and but did not graduate from Columbia Law School. Teddy was meant to be a member of the Class of 1882 and FDR the Class of 1907, but both departed early to embark on their historic political careers, never receiving their juris doctor degrees. “Tonight,” said Columbia Law School Dean David M. Schizer on Sept. 25 at the Harlan Fiske Stone Society Reception, “we’re going to reconcile that.” In conferring them posthumous J. D.s, Schizer described the Roosevelts’ eras and drew parallels to today. “When FDR was inaugurated, industrial production had fallen by more than half in three years, farm prices had fallen by 60 percent, and 32 of the 48 states had closed their banks."

"text": "-A curious adult from the U. S. March 27, 2013Words like dominant and recessive don’t describe the gene…they describe the trait. What this means is that what a particular version of a gene is actually doing doesn’t matter in terms of the trait being recessive or not. What matters is what trait we are looking at. This can mean that the same version (or allele) of a gene can be dominant, recessive or even co-dominant. It all depends on the trait. A great example of this is broken versions of the MC1R gene. The MC1R gene is a key player in both red hair and freckles. Red hair is a recessive trait meaning you need two broken MC1R copies to end up with it. But having freckles, which are caused by the same broken MC1R genes, is a dominant trait. One copy is enough."

Well, not exactly. Although the history that used to be taught at school said the Irish were simply a Celtic people, related to the central European Celts, the truth is much more complicated, and much more interesting than that. Research done into the DNA of the Irish has shown that our old understanding of where the population of Ireland originated may have been misguided. Although the modern Irish have been shown to share many genetic similarities with Scottish and Welsh populations, and to differ somewhat from the English, due to repeated waves of migration to the island they also have close genetic relations with people further afield. In fact, some of the Irish's closest DNA links are with regions further afield!This article is based upon the latest research sequencing the genomes of the remains of ancient Irish people, published at the end of 2015.

"text": "Red freckles, also called cherry angiomas, hemangiomas, senile angiomas and Campbell de Morgan spots, are lesions resulting from a concentrated, high number of dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. More specifically, they occur when the number of endothelial cells lining the inside of the blood vessels rapidly grow and divide. Normally occurring on the trunk, they usually are fairly small in size with a flat or slightly raised shape, with a range of colors from bright red to black. It's more common for those who are approaching middle age to get them, with the number often increasing over time. They usually are completely benign and don't need treatment, but removal options are available. Physical Appearance Early on, red freckles are usually very small and are often described as being the size of a pinhead. They can become bigger over time, however, with large ones often reaching up to 0.25 inches (0.635 centimeters) in diameter. The smaller ones typically are flat, while bigger cherry angiomas frequently become raised or dome shaped. Despite their title, the lesions can have a purple or bluish color, or in some cases, brown or even black.

"text": "-A middle school student from California June 3, 2010This is a great question that gets to the heart of genetics. The answer will help us understand how we get certain traits from our parents. It'll also give us a basic idea about how genetics works. The short answer to your question is that scientists look at a family's history to figure out whether something is dominant, recessive, or neither. They look to see which family members have which traits and how a trait is passed down. For example, if a trait tends to be directly passed from parent to child, then the odds are pretty good that the trait is a dominant one. If a trait skips generations or pops up out of nowhere, then the odds are pretty good that it is recessive. If the trait ends up a blending of the two parents' traits, then it isn't either. There are lots of other hints and clues you can get from looking at a family's history. There are lots of exceptions too."

ALLELE The sequence of nucleotides on a DNA molecule that constitutes the form of a gene at a specific spot or a chromosome. There can be several variations of this sequence, and each of these is called an allele. In the case of the gene for eye color, for example, one allele codes for blue eyes, whereas the other may code for brown eyes. CHROMOSOME The small bodies in the nucleus of a cell that carry the chemical “instructions” for reproduction of the cell. They consist of strands of DNA wrapped in a double helix around a core of proteins."

"text": "Home » Flowers How to Grow Freesia Bulbs By Willow Sidhe; Updated September 21, 2017Freesia, a perennial flowering plant grown from bulbs or corms, produces fragrant flowers in shades of red, blue, purple, white and yellow during the spring and early summer. According to the U. K. Flowers and Plants Association, freesias rank as one of the most popular cut flowers in the world, with more than 110 million sold per year in the U. K. alone. Native to South Africa, freesias require warm growing temperatures and only survive winter in USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11. Elsewhere, gardeners must lift the bulbs and store indoors through winter to prevent cold damage. Plant freesia bulbs during early fall in zones 9 through 11 or during spring in zones above 9. Choose an area that receives full sun and has well-drained, fertile soil. Spread a 2- to 3-inch layer of organic, weed-free compost over the planting site. Till the compost into the soil with a garden tiller to improve the soil's fertility prior to planting. Dig a hole in the soil just large enough for the freesia bulb. Insert the bulb into the soil with the flat side down and the pointed side up."

Both deciduous and evergreen, some have thick, strappy leaves and others grass-like foliage. They range from fully hardy to half hardy, with the evergreen varieties generally the most tender. The evergreen species originate mainly from areas with winter or year-round rainfall, such as the East or West Cape. Deciduous species grow mainly in areas with dry winters and moist summers. Agapanthus thrives in fertile, well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil in full sun. Agapanthus show no preference for p H, except A. africanus which prefers an acid soil. Plant crowns in spring, 5cm (2in) below the ground and avoid planting in shade, as plants will either grow poorly or develop a mass of lush foliage at the expense of flowers."

When the going gets tough, many plants avoid stressful conditions by going dormant and existing underground. They have various kinds of organs that store food so the plant can regrow when favorable conditions return. Tubers, rhizomes and fleshy roots come from the root system; corms are swollen stem bases, and bulbs are a condensed version of the plant with structures ready to grow into leaves, flowers and roots. Corms You can tell a corm from a bulb by slicing one open. If it has layers like an onion, it is a bulb. If the inside is solid, it is a corm. Most of the corms we grow for garden flowers are in the iris family and native to South Africa. Some of our wildflowers, such as jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema spp.) and blue dicks (Dichelostemma pulchella), grow from corms."

"text": "When I visit my mom she puts me to work 'dead-heading' her lavender. As I trim away the dead blossoms the smell of lavender surrounds me and attracts quite a few bees. It reminds me how important scent is in a garden and what an integral experience it is to losing yourself in the outdoors. In a small space like a balcony or small deck, using plants that give off a scent can make the experience that much richer. Here are 5 of my favorite fragrant plants perfect for a small space…1. Lavender: There are hundreds of varieties of Lavender but we normally go for whatever the nursery has available and what smells the best. It's basically drought tolerant and likes plenty of sun. It's also important to remember to cut off the dead flowers--as you cut them off, the plant will be triggered to produce more! And even the dead blossoms keep their scent, so you can collect a bundle and keep it by your bed.2. Scented Geranium: This is what I planted (per my mom's suggestion) closest to the seating area on my deck so that anyone sitting close by would be enveloped with the subtle odor that comes from this plant's leaves."

With its dark green foliage and bright pink blossoms appearing in late summer, hardy cyclamen plants faintly resemble small butterflies when they bloom in a shady flower garden. To add hardy cyclamen to your landscape, plant cyclamen bulbs in the spring for a gorgeous late-summer or early-autumn show. Prepare a shady growing location in the spring by working the soil with the garden spade to a depth of between 2 and 3 inches. Add 1 to 2 inches of loose compost over the top of the soil and work this in well with the garden spade. Rake the planting area level and smooth with the rake. Dig shallow holes for the cyclamen corms. Make the holes deep enough to enable planting the corms at a depth equal to the thickness of the corms. Space the holes 12 inches apart. Place each cyclamen corm into a prepared hole."

If you grow more than one variety it’s likely bees will have cross-pollinated them, so you could be growing your own brand new variety of tomato. Choose open-pollinated tomato varieties (not F1 varieties as they may not come ‘true’). It’s also a good idea to save heritage, or rare varieties of tomato in this way, to preserve the seed for future generations. You will need Tomatoes Knife Glass jar Sieve Paper envelope Total time:1 hour Step 1Choose a couple of healthy tomatoes and mark them with a tag, so you don’t pick and eat them by accident. Step 2When the tomatoes are very ripe, pick them off the plant and cut into them over a plate. Step 3Scrape the tomato seeds out into a glass jar and discard the flesh. Cover the seeds with water.

It can be grown year-round in southern climates and should be brought indoors to serve as a houseplant in the winter in northern areas. Its best sun conditions are full sun, or partial shade in very warm climates. Soil for an elephant ear plant should be moist, and they even can be grown in water. Humidity helps elephant ears thrive, so you may want to place a humidifier near it when indoors. Planting Elephant Ear Plants Elephant ears reproduce by division of corms, which come from their tubers. Not all cultivars available today produce tubers, but you can easily propagate those that do by cutting the tuber into pieces, each with a corm on it, similar to the eyes of a potato. Plant the pieces after they have dried for a few days, and place the corms blunt end down, buried about two inches into the soil. The best planting time when starting elephant ears indoors is about eight weeks before the last frost date, to give the young plants a jump on the growing season. Elephant Ear Plant Care & Propagation Caring for your elephant ear plants requires attention."

Different types of flowers (the Angiosperms) can easily be identified by dividing them into Monocots or Dicots. By just looking at one flower we should soon be able to identify it as one or the other. This not only makes it easier to pick out the different flower types, but it is very interesting to know exactly what we are looking at. There are other ways of classifying flowers, especially Annuals; Perennials, Biennials and Ephemerals; or even by the way they reproduce such as Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction eg. Bulbs. These are the terms most useful to gardeners, whereas classifying by Monocots and Dicots is very basic but is very useful if you are really studying flowers or just want a general understanding of them. Of course the one other big way is by Botanical Names and Classes, etc. But that's for the Botanists."

The effectiveness of microencapsulating probiotic organisms as well as adding cryoprotectants and prebiotics in improving their viability was also investigated. The viability of Bifidobacterium infantis 17930 and L. rhamnosus GG was reduced by 0.07 log, while that of L. casei 1520 and Bifidobacterium longum 1941 was reduced by 0.28 and 0.39 log, respectively. There was a 7% improvement in the viability of L. casei 1520 when cryoprotectant ‘Unipectine™ RS 150’ was added at 2.5% (w/v). The prebiotic ‘Raftilose ® P95’ when added at 1.5% w/v to yoghurt improved the viability of the combined selected probiotic organisms by 1.42 log during four weeks of storage at 4 °C. Microencapsulation with alginate improved viability of combined selected probiotic organisms by 0.31 log in freeze-dried yoghurt stored at 21 °C.

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Diagnosis of BVTreatment of BVPartner Treatment Prevention of BVExpert Commentary & Five-year View References Sidebar Treatment of BVDespite numerous therapeutic research efforts, treatment of BV remains cumbersome and clinicians are currently rather poorly armed to treat BV properly in the long run. Moreover, appraisal of the available evidence on treatment options for BV is hindered by methodological concerns. Rationale for Treatment of BVTreatment of BV is primarily targeted at resolving or alleviating the presenting symptoms, most commonly profuse, foul-smelling vaginal discharge. In the absence of treatment BV may resolve spontaneously; however, it often recurs over an extended period of time. As recurrence of BV is common, treatment of BV is ideally also targeted at prophylaxis of BV recurrences. On a secondary level, BV treatment aims to prevent infectious complications associated with BV, and hence also involves treatment of asymptomatic BV. Definition of Cure Assessment of therapeutic efficacy of a given treatment depends on the clinical context in which such an evaluation is to be made. In clinical practice, cure of BV will therefore typically be considered a fact if a patient reports the resolution of the symptoms for which therapy was instigated on the occasion of a control visit."

[ 2]Hippocrates (460 – 370 BC), the father of medicine, was the first to write of the medicinal virtues of donkey milk. [ 3] [4] In the Roman era donkey milk was recognized as a common remedy, Pliny the Elder (23 – 79 AD) in his encyclopedic work, Naturalis Historia, wrote extensively about its health benefits, [5] but it wasn’t until the Renaissance that the first real scientific consideration was given to donkey milk. Subsequently, the famous French naturalist, Georges-Louis Leclerc (1707–1788) mentions the benefits of donkey milk in his Histoire naturelle [6] and Pauline Bonaparte (1780–1825), Napoleon’s sister, is also reported to have used Donkey milk for her skin’s health care. In France in the nineteenth century, Dr. Parrot of Hospital des Enfants Assistès spread the practice of bringing babies motherless directly to the donkey’s nipple (Bullettin de l’Académie de médicine, 1882). The donkey’s milk was then sold until the twentieth century to feed orphaned infants and to cure delicate children, the sick and the elderly. For this reason, in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland many donkeys are born on farms. [ 7]Production [ edit]The asinine species is considered a seasonal polyestrous one, but the latitude in which the farm is located can greatly influence the reproduction cycle."

The good news is, whether you’re traveling for work, vacation, or out of the country, there are some simple, yet effective strategies that will help you continue to eat healthy while traveling in order to maintain balance and reduce stress. Through much trial and error, I’ve figured out what needs to be done before leaving, how to prepare, and what to do during the trip to make eating healthy simple and easy. I know exactly what can and can’t make it through airport security, what tools are helpful to pack, and all the right places to go. Because your “travel” may look different depending on the destination, you might choose to adapt these strategies for eating healthy while traveling based on whether you’ll be flying, road tripping, taking the bus… or doing all three. ( And if that’s the case… bless your heart. ) How to Eat Healthy While Traveling: Pre-Trip A little planning can go a long way when it come to eating healthy while traveling. Before you leave, have the decision made about what foods are a big “no-no” for you, and what foods you’re willing to “slide” on. For me, a no-no is gluten because I’m sensitive to that. My “slides” are items fried like sweet potato fries."

Historically, yacon has been used in South America to lower blood sugar in those with diabetes and improve digestion. Yacon roots are a rich source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and have a long use tradition as food in the Andean region. Yacon has several flavonoids including protocatechuic, chlorogenic, caffeic and ferulic acids. What does the research say? It appears that substances in yacon have antioxidant, anti-microbial, blood sugar lowering, and liver protecting properties. However, this research, thus far, has only been in the laboratory and animals. Yacon syrup use may lead to weight loss. Other herbs that have a benefit for blood sugar control include Bitter-Melon, prickly pear cactus extract, Fenugreek, and cinnamon.

From the very first breath you take, you're exposed to probiotics. How so? On the way through the birth canal during a normal delivery, a newborn gets dosed with bacteria from their mother. This event starts bacterial colonization in the infant's gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Compelling new research now shows many caesarean-section infants have less-than-optimal health after birth. This is most likely because they are not exposed to the mother's bacteria in the birth canal, which would then serve to populate its own GI tract.

Whether blanced, unblanched, chopped or whole, celery will lose its structure when frozen. So, as you've pointed out, it is only suitable for recipes that do not need fresh celery. It is not necessary to blanch celery before freezing. However, it will keep longer if blanched. Blanching stops the activity of enzymes that cause a deterioration of structure, taste and nutritional value. Freezing DOES NOT stop the activity of enzymes. Unblanched celery will keep for a few months w/o significant deterioration. Correctly blanched celery will keep for about a year."

In a 2013 study by Canadian and Cuban researchers, patients (age 40-plus) with high blood pressure and peripheral artery disease ate about three heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseeds daily for six months. The result: Their systolic blood pressure (the top number) dropped by 15 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) — a finding researchers called “one of the most potent blood anti-hypertensive effects ever achieved by a dietary intervention.” In the study, the ground flaxseeds were used to make muffins, bagels and buns; they can also be sprinkled on cereal or added to sauces.1 of 9Getty Blues by the Cupful If your blood pressure is borderline unhealthy, eating a cup of blueberries a day could help lower it. In a 2015 study of women ages 45 to 65 with the early stages of high blood pressure, half ate 22 grams of freeze-dried blueberry powder (the equivalent of a cup of fresh berries) daily for eight weeks, while the other half ate an identical-looking powder that didn’t contain any blueberries. After eight weeks, the blueberry group’s systolic blood pressure (the top number) had dropped 5 mm Hg,while the readings for the placebo group remained the same.2 of 9Getty Cereal Thriller Having a bowl of whole-grain and high-fiber breakfast cereal, such as oatmeal, oat squares, bran flakes or shredded wheat, can reduce your chance of developing high blood pressure, Harvard researchers recently found.

Yogurt is such a healthy food, especially if it’s low-fat and low (or no) sugar. Yogurt drops make a great snack for little ones because they melt quickly in the mouth, and older kids and adults love the crunchy, creamy taste and texture that’s not like anything else. These delicious, nutritious snacks are also very easy to make and can be freeze dried in the same run as any other food. But be warned, if you only make one tray you’ll wish you’d made four!Just use a plastic baggie or cake decorator bag to make small dollops of yogurt on your freeze drying trays and they’ll come out as perfect bite-sized drops. Or, you can fill your trays to the brim with yogurt. The freeze-dried result is like an airy-peanut brittle than can then be broken into pieces or crushed into a powder. It will store easily bags or jars. And, when you’re ready to rehydrate, just slowly mix water into the yogurt powder or pieces until you get the right consistency."

Here are some science-backed tips to ease rising blood pressure, whatever its cause. Exercise Regular exercise has all kinds of amazing benefits for the body, and one of the biggest is keeping blood pressure steady. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercising around 30 minutes most days of the week has been shown to lower blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Exercise helps strengthen the heart, which makes it easier for the vital organ to pump blood.

Did you know healthy digestion has been linked to better mood, weight management, a clear complexion, and a better overall wellbeing? While nearly all bodily functions are linked to digestive health, around 70 million Americans are affected by digestive diseases. That’s partly because today many people eat poor diets and live a high-stress lifestyle. To help relieve constipation, ditch the dangerous laxatives and eat these 17 foods that make you poop!1) Berries Pick a berry, any berry, and chances are it will help get things moving in no time. That’s because most berries are a good source of fiber. For example, one cup of fresh strawberries provides 2.9 grams of fiber. The same size serving of blueberries will provide you with 3.6 grams, blackberries have 8 grams, and raspberries also have 8 grams. Fiber is essential for healthy digestion because it adds bulk to your stool, helping waste pass through the intestines and eventually exit the body."

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Fight fire with fire.” That’s also the thinking behind taking probiotics for Crohn's disease — the idea is to have “good” bacteria go head-to-head with the “bad” bacteria in your gut in the hopes of easing inflammation. All kinds of bacteria live in your intestines. But when you have Crohn’s disease, “your immune system starts attacking the normal, good bacteria that are supposed to be there,” says Gilbert Simoni, MD, a gastroenterologist at Advanced Gastroenterology Inc. in Thousand Oaks, California. Probiotics make replacing those good bacteria possible. Can Probiotics Help Crohn’s? The word probiotics comes from “pro,” which means “for,” and “biota,” which means “life,” Dr. Simoni says. And while these “good” bacteria might be helpful, the research is still mixed on whether introducing probiotics to your gut can ease the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. One August 2014 review in the journal Frontiers in Medicine found that probiotics did not appear to provide any significant benefit to children with Crohn’s disease."

Like almost everything else in sales tax, the laws around taxability of shipping charges you pass along to your customers is not universal. Some states say it’s taxable. Others say it’s not. Imagine how much easier sales tax would be if the states worked together? This post is for online sellers who need some guidance on how each state handles shipping charges. Sort through the list below to find your state as well as other states in which you have sales tax nexus. Here are some important assumptions to keep in mind as you use this list: You’re an e Commerce seller, not a traditional brick-and-mortar merchant You’re delivering items to your customers via common carrier (USPS, etc)You’re not delivering items yourself using your own vehicle. States may have entirely different rules for that scenario."

"text": "\"California online shoppers pay sales tax on shipping and handling November 03, 2012 | By Marc Lifsher SACRAMENTO -- Most Internet shoppers in California know that, since Sept. 15, Amazon.com and other e-merchants, have been required to collect sales taxes for online purchases. But, what many are just finding out is that Amazon and some competitors also are collecting California's 7.25% base rate plus any local government add-on sales taxes on combined \"\"shipping and handling\"\" charges. According to California's sales tax collection agency, the Board of Equalization, sales tax should be collected when a seller \"\"makes a combined charge for 'shipping and handling' or 'postage and handling,' \"\" if the invoice does not show the actual cost of the individual delivery. Shipping charges are not taxable if the goods are carried by a trucking company or the U. S. Postal Service; the invoice clearly lists shipping or postage as a separate charge; and the cost of shipping billed is not greater than the actual cost of delivery to the customer, the board explains. The extra hit on consumers could amount to a few pennies when buying a DVD to a few dollars on an $800 flat-screen television. Larry Winter, a Culver City heating and air conditioning executive, said he learned about the sales tax on shipping and handling when he recently bought a $9.99 DVD from Amazon. After studying the bill, he realized he'd paid sales tax on shipping and handling. \"\" The sales tax on freight is a profit center for them,\"\" he said. \"\" It adds up when you figure how many packages they do. It's a huge number. \"\""

"text": "Taxes in Arizona Taxing Facts – Holding the Line Arizona’s Regulatory Tax Environment is Business-Friendly Greater Phoenix Arizona has received considerable recognition for its progressive, business-friendly attitudes, including one of the nation’s lowest combined state and local tax burdens. The state legislature lowered taxes during each of the last nine years and aids businesses through tax credits for research and development and an absence of unitary, inventory and franchise taxes. There is no municipal income tax and no sales tax on direct sales to state or federal government. Certain transactions between related companies are exempt from any taxes. Lower taxes coupled with the government’s emphasis on an easy permitting process makes relocating or expanding business in Greater Phoenix a comparatively quick and low-cost proposition. Maricopa County Assessor Keith Russell says: “Tax district budgets for things like schools and fire protection will increase far less than the housing market has appreciated in 2005.” If the combined property value in a tax district increases 50 percent over two years, and new properties are added to the tax roll, then school, fire and library districts, for example, can lower their rates and still collect enough money to operate, according to Keith Russell. You can check out News/Press Release page for important information from the Assessors office, designed to serve the public with a variety of factual and information items. General Arizona Property Taxes Based on local taxes, Arizona has the seventh lowest effective property tax rate at 0.6696. In other words, the annual property tax for a $100,000 home in Arizona would be $660 versus $1,150 on a national average."

"text": "Understanding Reverse Charge Mechanism in Service Tax Service tax is an indirect tax levied by service provider on the service recipient. The service provider collects service tax on bills raised on the service recipient and deposits it into the Government account. Hence the liability to pay service tax falls on service provider u/s 68 (1). However there is an exception provided to this rule by Sec. 68 (2) wherein the Central Government can specify services where the service recipient is also liable to pay service tax to Government wholly or partially. As per Notification No. 30/2012-Service Tax released on 20.06.2012 and later updated by Notification No. 45/2012- Service Tax released on 07-08-2012, w.e.f. 1st July, 2012, modifications have been made on certain taxable services with respect to their rate of tax liability arising on the person providing the service and the person receiving the service. In other words, in respect of certain taxable services, the current service tax rate of 12.36% will be distributed between the service provider and the service receiver, and both shall be liable for their portion of service tax calculated."

Managing your tax obligations probably isn’t your favorite part of being a business owner, but sucking it up is a must in order to protect your business. As Christopher Bullock originally said and good ol’ Ben Franklin famously quoted, “in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Nearly 300 years later, these words are still true. State and local governments have been hit hard by the recession and the popularity of “tax-free” online shopping. They are aching for revenue, and if you don’t pay the taxman, he will find you. Are you scared yet? Good, you should be! This is your business we are talking about and the last thing you want to unexpectedly hear is that you owe thousands of dollars in back tax liabilities, interest and fines. Complying with sales and use tax obligations can be a complex and confusing endeavor for business owners."

The taxability of freight or delivery charges is one of the most frequently asked questions. And the rules vary all over the place. In more than half the states, freight charges are taxable. This means that you would add the charges to the merchandise total in determining the basis for the tax calculation. This means that, if the sale is taxable, then the freight will be taxable in those states. But if the sale is not taxable (eg. manufacturing equipment or resale), freight isn't taxable."

While you’re happy about the money, you’ve now got a conundrum on your hands. Namely, should you charge sales on shipping and handling costs or not? It doesn’t help that every single state is different, so it’s not like you can use other state as an example. To help you out, let’s take a look at Arizona’s rules on the taxability of shipping. Sales Tax on Shipping in Arizona? It Depends…Luckily, Arizona knew people would come calling with questions and outlined the various scenarios involved with shipping and sales tax. Keep in mind in Arizona they call what we think of as “sales tax” the “Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT),” or basically a tax for the “privilege” of doing business with the state. From the Arizona Department of Revenue website: When included in the retail sales price, a shipping charge from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the retailer is considered a cost of doing business and is included in the taxable proceeds from the sale. If goods are shipped directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the purchaser, a charge for freight may be excluded from taxable gross proceeds if separately stated."

In most instances, when you purchase a taxable item or service in the state, or if it is delivered to you in the state, the seller will collect sales tax from you. The seller then pays the tax over to the Tax Department. When sales tax has not been collected on taxable items or services, tax is required to be paid when the items or services are used in New York. Use tax is a tax imposed on the use of taxable items and services in New York when the sales tax has not been paid. There is a distinction between sales tax that should have been paid and use tax. However, for purposes of simplicity, the tax required to be paid is referred to in this bulletin as use tax. This bulletin discusses the following common situations in which a business operating in New York State may owe use tax:purchases of taxable property or services made outside of New York State;purchases of taxable property or services made over the Internet, from catalogs, or by phone from businesses that are located outside of New York State;purchases of taxable property or services on an Indian reservation;purchases where the taxable property or services are used in a different local taxing jurisdiction in the state from where they were purchased or where they were delivered;withdrawal of taxable property from inventory for use by the business; anduse of taxable property that is manufactured, processed, or assembled by the business. This bulletin also discusses how to calculate the use tax and how to report and pay the use tax. This bulletin does not address use tax as it applies to individuals."

For property tax purposes in Arizona, business personal property is defined as all types of property except real estate. Taxable personal property includes property used for commercial, industrial, and agricultural purposes. Personal property is considered to be movable and not permanently attached to real estate. Although there are exceptions, personal property usually can be removed without causing damage to either the real estate from which it is removed or to the item of property itself. How is Business Personal Property Valued? Based on original cost and age of all business personal property in your possession as of December 31st of the prior year, the State of Arizona has an exemption amount which started at $50,000 and is increased yearly (If the property qualifies). The original cost of a personal property item includes the purchase price plus all freight and installation costs as well as any paid sales taxes for the item. In Arizona, the personal property reporting system is self-reporting. The Assessors sends a notice (rendition) requesting a listing of personal property to businesses within Navajo County, the form is returned by the business."

In the United States, sales tax is governed at the state level and no national general sales tax exists. Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam impose general sales taxes that apply to the sale or lease of most goods and some services, and states also may levy selective sales taxes on the sale or lease of particular goods or services. States may also delegate to local governments the authority to impose additional general or selective sales taxes. Since January 2017, 5 states (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon) do not levy a statewide sales tax, [1] while California has the highest state sales tax with a base rate of 7.25%. ( the territory of Puerto Rico has a higher 10.5% value added tax since April 2016).

Before we explore this question of where to charge sales tax on digital products, it’s important to note that sales tax laws and regulations are written and passed by states, and that many state laws are way behind when it comes to current technology. Many states haven’t explicitly written laws or regulations covering the taxability of digital goods. States may even base their rulings regarding things like digital e Book downloads or digital music sales on laws that were originally written with mail order companies in mind. For this reason, it is very important to take this post as a guideline and base your own sales tax compliance on conversations with your CPA or tax attorney and/or the state’s taxing authority. Laws regarding digital products are literally being changed or reinterpreted all the time. At Tax Jar, we’re serious about crowdsourcing as much sales tax information as we can. So if you have an experience with sales tax on digital products that you want us to know about, we want to hear it in the comments on this post.

These 10 states impose the lowest taxes on retirees, according to Kiplinger’s exclusive 2016 analysis of state taxes. All of these states exempt Social Security benefits from state taxes."

Does that include both the labor and materials cost? Is there a limit on the amount I can deduct in one year based on my income? What income does that include? Answer: Mark - You are correct that field drainage tile is Section 179 property. Here is the reference from IRS Publication 225, Farmers Tax Guide. I bolded the last sentence for emphasis: Land and improvements. Land and land improvements, do not qualify as section 179 property. Land improvements include nonagricultural fences, swimming pools, paved parking areas, wharves, docks, bridges, and fences."

Like almost everything else in sales tax, the laws around taxability of shipping charges you pass along to your customers is not universal. Some states say it’s taxable. Others say it’s not. Imagine how much easier sales tax would be if the states worked together? This post is for online sellers who need some guidance on how each state handles shipping charges. Sort through the list below to find your state as well as other states in which you have sales tax nexus. Here are some important assumptions to keep in mind as you use this list: You’re an e Commerce seller, not a traditional brick-and-mortar merchant You’re delivering items to your customers via common carrier (USPS, etc)You’re not delivering items yourself using your own vehicle.

In the United States, sales tax is governed at the state level and no national general sales tax exists. Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam impose general sales taxes that apply to the sale or lease of most goods and some services, and states also may levy selective sales taxes on the sale or lease of particular goods or services. States may also delegate to local governments the authority to impose additional general or selective sales taxes. Since January 2017, 5 states (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon) do not levy a statewide sales tax, [1] while California has the highest state sales tax with a base rate of 7.25%. ( the territory of Puerto Rico has a higher 10.5% value added tax since April 2016). [ 2] [3] In some states such as California, counties and cities impose additional sales taxes, and total sales taxes can be over 11%.

The physical features of the eastern coast were advantageous for intracoastal development, resulting from erosion and deposition of sediment over its geologic history, but also enhanced and redistributed by the action of the Atlantic Ocean currents along it. Since the coastline represented the national border and commerce of the time was chiefly by water, the fledgling US government established a degree of national control over it. Inland transportation to supply the coasting trade at the time was less known and virtually undeveloped, but when new lands and their favorable river systems were added in 1787, a radically new and free national policy was established for their development and transportation use. [ 1] Over time, internal improvements of natural coastal and inland waterways would develop into the Great Loop, which allows for waterborne circumnavigation of the eastern continental United States, using minimal ocean travel, with the Intracoastal Waterway providing its eastern end."

Depending on the content of your shipment and the destination country, customs charges will affect the price the recipient is willing to pay for your product. Being able to calculate and communicate the \"\"landed\"\" cost up-front can often save both you and the recipient valuable time and money. Almost all shipments crossing international borders are subject to the assessment of duties and taxes imposed by the importing country's government.

In some countries, duties and taxes must be paid before the goods are released from customs. A shipment's duty and tax amount may be based on: Product value Trade agreements Country of manufacture Use of the product The product's Harmonized System (HS) code Customs officials assess duties and taxes based on information provided on the air waybill, the Commercial Invoice and other relevant documents. Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) A VAT is a general consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services.

In most instances, when you purchase a taxable item or service in the state, or if it is delivered to you in the state, the seller will collect sales tax from you. The seller then pays the tax over to the Tax Department. When sales tax has not been collected on taxable items or services, tax is required to be paid when the items or services are used in New York. Use tax is a tax imposed on the use of taxable items and services in New York when the sales tax has not been paid. There is a distinction between sales tax that should have been paid and use tax. However, for purposes of simplicity, the tax required to be paid is referred to in this bulletin as use tax. This bulletin discusses the following common situations in which a business operating in New York State may owe use tax:purchases of taxable property or services made outside of New York State;purchases of taxable property or services made over the Internet, from catalogs, or by phone from businesses that are located outside of New York State;purchases of taxable property or services on an Indian reservation;purchases where the taxable property or services are used in a different local taxing jurisdiction in the state from where they were purchased or where they were delivered;withdrawal of taxable property from inventory for use by the business; anduse of taxable property that is manufactured, processed, or assembled by the business. This bulletin also discusses how to calculate the use tax and how to report and pay the use tax. This bulletin does not address use tax as it applies to individuals."

While you’re happy about the money, you’ve now got a conundrum on your hands. Namely, should you charge sales on shipping and handling costs or not? It doesn’t help that every single state is different, so it’s not like you can use other state as an example. To help you out, let’s take a look at Arizona’s rules on the taxability of shipping. Sales Tax on Shipping in Arizona? It Depends…Luckily, Arizona knew people would come calling with questions and outlined the various scenarios involved with shipping and sales tax. Keep in mind in Arizona they call what we think of as “sales tax” the “Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT),” or basically a tax for the “privilege” of doing business with the state. From the Arizona Department of Revenue website: When included in the retail sales price, a shipping charge from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the retailer is considered a cost of doing business and is included in the taxable proceeds from the sale. If goods are shipped directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the purchaser, a charge for freight may be excluded from taxable gross proceeds if separately stated."

Tax Jar, for example, is a Saa S-based business. Like with many other “new” technologies, most states haven’t quite wrapped their hands around whether or not Saa S is taxable in the state. For example, some states consider Saa S a service. So if services are generally taxable in the state – such as in Arizona – then Saa S is considered taxable. In most states, where services aren’t taxable, Saa S also isn’t taxable. Other states, like Washington, consider Saa S to be tangible software and thus taxable. Just like with anything tax related, each state has made their own rules and laws. This list compiles all Saa S-related state sales tax laws at the time of this writing.

"text": "Product Taxability Sales Tax By State: Are Grocery Items Taxable?by Jennifer Dunn • Feb 1, 2018Selling grocery items online is a growing niche, but one notorious pitfall is the fact that various different states tax grocery items differently. For example, groceries are taxable at the normal rates in Alabama, but totally exempt in Arizona. But in Georgia groceries are not subject to the state’s 4% sales tax rate but are subject to local sales tax rates! Confusing, right? If you sell online and have nexus in various states, you are required to keep up with all these rules or risk unhappy buyers wondering why you charged them sales tax. This list will help you sort out which states consider grocery items tax exempt. If a state isn’t on this list, then it considers grocery items fully taxable at the combined local rate. We’ll also show you how to collect the right amount of sales tax in every state whether you have your own shopping cart or sell on a platform like Amazon FBA. As always, sales tax is subject to change very rapidly. If you see anything on this list that needs updating, just let us know by leaving a comment on this post."

"text": "Practice Management • Small Business A Guide to Understanding Sales Tax on Services April 20, 2015 1 Comment Written by Ian Clyde As more U. S. states look to do away with state income tax, they are shifting the burden onto sales tax—and specifically sales tax on services. But how and what constitutes a “taxable service” can be a confusing question. Any number of factors—from the different ways states tax services, to how they categorize services, to contradictory sourcing rules—can complicate this process and add undue complexity to transactions. Sales Tax Rules: From Goods to Services When sales tax was first introduced in the 1930s, the U. S. economy was supported mainly by the sale of goods or tangible personal property (TPP). People didn’t have the same level of expendable income then. Today, services play a much larger role in our economy. Americans have more disposable income and can spend money on services as well as goods. Yet, when states first started taxing services, they didn’t take this into consideration. Nearly as quickly as laws were introduced, they were retracted. In 2007, Michigan introduced a tax on services that included consulting, office administration, and business center services among others."

See also Voucher: an invoice is within the European union primarily legally defined by the EU VAT directive as an accounting voucher (to verify tax and VAT reporting) and secondly as a Civil law (common law) document. An invoice, bill or tab is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, relating to a sale transaction and indicating the products, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services the seller had provided the buyer. Payment terms are usually stated on the invoice. These may specify that the buyer has a maximum number of days in which to pay and is sometimes offered a discount if paid before the due date. The buyer could have already paid for the products or services listed on the invoice. In the rental industry, an invoice must include a specific reference to the duration of the time being billed. So in addition to quantity, price, and discount, the invoice amount is also based on duration. Generally, each line of a rental invoice will refer to the actual hours, days, weeks, months, etc., being billed."

"text": "Low Fat Diet Author: Frank W. Jackson, M. D. Purpose For a regular healthy diet, it is recommended that of the total calories eaten, no more than 30% should come from fat. However, certain diseases and medical conditions can make it difficult for the body to tolerate even that much fat, so a low-fat diet may help people with these conditions. Gallbladder Disease: Bile secreted from the gallbladder helps the body break down and absorb fats. When gallstones or gallbladder diseases are present, a low-fat diet is often used to prevent complications. Delayed stomach emptying (Gastroparesis) is a condition in which the stomach empties food into the intestine too slowly. This can cause bloating, nausea, and even vomiting. Normally, fat in foods delays stomach emptying, so fats make gastroparesis worse. Diarrhea can be caused by many conditions. When it occurs, it can be aggravated by eating fatty foods. Malabsorption of nutrients: Absorption is the transfer of nutrients into the bloodstream from the intestine."

While some foods can help lower the risk of diabetes and help with blood sugar management, other foods can exacerbate the symptoms and medical complications. Some of the worst foods for diabetics are heavily processed fast foods that are high in sodium, sugar, and fat. According to the 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report, 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes and some 8.1 million of them are undiagnosed.

"text": "Using My Plate to Build a Healthy Plate Providing healthy meals for their children is the goal of most parents. But with picky eaters, hectic schedules and constantly changing dietary needs and tastes, that can be a difficult task. Many of us are familiar with the food pyramid and the major food groups, but that big chart is cumbersome and at times confusing. That’s why the USDA took the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and created My Plate, a new colorful, simple icon that parents can use to develop healthy eating habits for their children and the entire family. “If you take the pyramid and shake it out onto a plate, that’s My Plate,” says Dr. Robert Post, Deputy Director of the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. “ It’s the same food but shown in a different way.” The need for Americans, especially children, to eat healthy meals is more important than ever. As Post explains, as of 2007 and 2008, obesity affects 10 percent of children ages 2 to 5, 20 percent of children 6 to 11 and 18 percent of children ages 12 to 19. Here’s how you can use My Plate to make sure your child is getting everything he needs. Let the Plate Guide You Visit choosemyplate.gov and print out a copy of My Plate to hang on your fridge, and start building a better plate."

"text": "\"How Can a 50-Year-Old Woman Lose Weight?by PAULA MARTINAC July 18, 2017The older a woman gets, the harder it becomes to lose weight. At 50 years old, your body doesn’t burn calories the way it did when you were younger. You may have cut back on your activity level because of health issues or family and work responsibilities. The fact is, too, your metabolism slows down as you age. If you’re still eating like you’re 20 but exercising like you’re 80, you need to find the right balance of energy intake and output -- along with the best food choices -- to help you lose weight at age 50. Talk to your doctor if you’re embarking on a weight-loss diet, to make sure it’s safe for you. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Caloric Needs for a 50-Year-Old Woman After age 20, your daily energy expenditure decreases by about 150 calories a decade, due to your body losing muscle mass and gaining fat. The decrease, says the American Council on Exercise, becomes most dramatic for women when they hit 50. That means if you easily burned 2,000 calories a day when you were an energetic 20 year old, at 50 you may only be burning about 1,550 calories daily. Your daily caloric intake should depend not only on your age and gender, but also on how physically active you are -- the less active, the less you need."

"text": "By Elizabeth Narins Oct 9, 2014 8.5k Getty Images Ask any late-night delivery guy, and he'll confirm what experts have gone to great lengths to prove: The more alcohol you drink, the hungrier you get — for pizza, cheese fries, nachos, street meat, or, if you took that last tequila shot, perhaps all of the above. Not surprisingly, science suggests that alcohol stimulates the appetite in a way that makes you crave high-fat, salty foods. While classic drunk foods like pizza, French fries, nachos, and grilled cheese fit the bill, salty foods can enhance the dehydrating effects of alcohol, while fatty foods take extra long to digest, so your body has to focus on digesting food instead of metabolizing alcohol to sober you up. Another thing: You really shouldn't eat massive portions right before you lie down. It's a recipe for indigestion, a shitty night's sleep, and often, an especially terrible hangover — particularly if you house any of the foods you should never eat while you're drunk. But everyone knows there's no hope when the drunk munchies hit — especially if you ate dinner hours earlier. So try to stumble toward these better-for-you drunk foods wherever your evening takes you: At Home, Eat:1. Whole Wheat Crackers: Crackers contain whole grains made up of complex carbs that help absorb alcohol, and B vitamins, an ingredient that gets depleted when you drink alcohol and is known to worsen hangovers, says Amy Jamieson-Petonic, a registered dietitian based in Cleveland, Ohio. While you may be inclined to smear those crackers with a little peanut butter, resist the urge if you can. Peanut butter is super high in fat, which is difficult to digest right before bed — especially if your smear turns into a spoonful and ends in an empty jar."

In the United States and most of Canada, the term fries refers to all dishes of fried elongated pieces of potatoes, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa (rarely), Ireland and New Zealand, thinly cut fried potatoes are sometimes called shoestring fries or skinny fries to distinguish them from chips, which are cut thicker. French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. They are usually salted and, depending on the country, may be served with tomato sauce, ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. Chips can be made from kumara or other sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant, oven chips, uses less oil or no oil. [ 3] One very common fast food dish is fish and chips."

"text": "\"Home > What do they call French toast in France? ( And other similar questions)What do they call French toast in France? ( And other similar questions)In English, many things are named after a particular country – but have you ever wondered what those things are called in those countries? Some things remain the same (Russians say Russian roulette, or rather русская рулетка, for instance) but plenty don’t. From French toast and Turkish delight to Brazil nuts and English breakfast – and the odd non-comestible too – we’ve got the answers…What do they call French toast in France? Bread dipped in seasoned beaten egg and milk, and fried on both sides, has been called French toast in English since the 17 th century – the earliest known mention, from 1660, suggests that they are served ‘steeped in claret, sack, or any wine’ – but what do the French call French toast? If you want to order some in France, ask for pain perdu: it translates as ‘lost bread’, because it is a way to use ‘lost’ or stale bread. What do they call Turkish delight in Turkey? Turkish delight is ‘a gelatinous sweet traditionally made of syrup and cornflour, dusted with icing sugar’, and famously makes an appearance in C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe as the sweet offered to Edmund by the White Witch. In Turkish, however, one of the names by which it is known is lokma or lokum, derived from the Arabic for ‘morsel’ and ‘mouthful’."

There may be important differences between restaurants in France and in your own country, including what foods are offered and how they are prepared. Here are some terms and tips to help you find your way around a French menu. Enjoy your meal—or \"\" Bon appétit! \"\" Types of menus Le menu and la formule refer to the fixed-price menu, which includes two or more courses (with limited choices for each) and is usually the least expensive way to eat out in France. The choices may be written on the ardoise, which literally means \"\"slate.\"\" Ardoise can also refer to the specials board the restaurant might display outside or on a wall at the entrance. The sheet of paper or booklet that the waiter hands you (what English speakers call the \"\"menu\"\") is la carte, and anything you order from it is à la carte, which means \"\"fixed-price menu. \"\" A couple of other important menus to know are: La carte des vins , which is the wine menu Une dégustation, which refers to a tasting menu, with small servings of multiple dishes ( déguster means \"\"to taste\"\")Courses A French meal may include numerous courses, in this order:un apéritif - cocktail, pre-dinner drinkun amuse-bouche or amuse-gueule - snack (just one or two bites)une entrée - appetizer/starter ( false cognate alert: entree can mean \"\"main course\"\" in English)le plat principal - main coursele fromage - cheesele dessert - dessertle café - coffeeun digestif - after-dinner drink Special Terms In addition to knowing how French restaurants list their food items and prices, as well as the names of courses, you should also familiarize yourself with special food terms.

We have between 1h30 to 2h to have a meal, most of people working in big companies eat in \"\"cantines\"\" wich is a restaurant self service for employees, with french traditional plates (3-8€).for those who eat fast, there is a lot of snacks ( sandwiches with ham and butter are the most commun) usually eated in a café, in a terrasse with a newspaper, a glass of wine and a short coffee (7€). Some like fast food like Quick (french hamberger restaurant) and mac donald's, or KFC (10€), it's only in big cities, in little villages, people usually eat at home or at the café.

Credit: William Perugini | Shutterstock Most people associate French culture with Paris, which is a center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture, but life outside of the City of Lights is very different and varies by region. France doesn't just have culture; the word \"\"culture\"\" actually comes from France. \"\"' Culture' derives from the same French term, which in turn derives from the Latin colere, meaning to tend to the earth and grow, cultivation and nurture,\"\" Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science. Historically, French culture was influenced by Celtic and Gallo-Roman cultures as well as the Franks, a Germanic tribe. France was initially defined as the western area of Germany known as Rhineland but it later came to refer to a territory that was known as Gaul during the Iron Age and Roman era. Languages French is the official language and the first language of 88 percent of the population, according to the BBC. It is the dominant language of the country's 70 million residents, but there are a number of variants based on region. French is the second most widely learned foreign language in the world, with almost 120 million students, according to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development. About 3 percent of the population speaks German dialects, and there is a small group of Flemish speakers in the northeast, according to the BBC."

"text": "\"How To The Secrets to Giving Day-Old French Fries a Delicious Second Life By Karen Ahn 08/09/2017 2:53 pm French fries, like mashed or roast potatoes, are the type O blood of the food world—they're compatible with just about everybody. That's why it's so sad to bring home leftover frites (that's French for French fries) and have to toss them out the next day because they don't taste as good when they're reheated. Image via Wishful Chef Warning: Do Not Ever, Ever Use Your Microwave The problem is most likely the microwave. Due to the vagaries and unevenness of most microwaves, reheating fries usually results in a soggy, limp mass and/or burnt ends. The oil ends up tasting rancid, too. No wonder those leftover fries usually end up in the trash. Image via Jon's Blog The Best Way to Reheat Fries? Use Your Stove Turns out the best way to reheat those fries so that they're not just edible but absolutely delicious is to reheat them on your stovetop, just as you would with your leftover pizza. Spread them out in your best heavy skillet to ensure maximum crispiness ( cast iron being the sine qua non, of course). Next, place the skillet over medium heat and wait until the skillet is very, very hot before adding your French fries."

( AFP PHOTO/GEORGES GOBET)Fries, crunchy, salty, tasty fried sticks of potato are claimed by Belgium and France as the product of their national gastronomic genius but the true origins are shrouded in popular folklore. \"\" Fries, they are the orphan of street cooking, of low birth. That is why it's hard to establish where they really come from,\"\" says French historian Madeleine Ferriere. The provenance of the humble fried potato, or chip for the English, is a matter of dispute among experts, especially in Belgium where they are the national dish and a symbol of pride for a country sharply divided between a Flemish-speaking north and a French south. PHOTOS: OVER-THE-TOP, BAD FOR YOU FOOD \"\"Belgians love fries but there was no scientific research on the issue until recently,\"\" Pierre Leclerc, professor at the University of Liege, told a recent forum in the capital. There are many theories and and just as many claims to paternity.

Here are some of the countries that were involved in the question of who really invented this dish: Does Belgium Really Hold the Credit of Inventing this Dish? According to Jo Gerard, a historian of Belgium, early traces on who invented french fries can be seen during the 1680s. In Gerard’s findings, poor inhabitants of Belgium usually had small fried fish with their meals. But, when the river in that area became frozen, and most of the families were unable to fish, they used potatoes fried in oil with their meals. These potatoes were said to be cut lengthwise, and served as a good substitute for fried fish. There was also a particular legend in this country that somehow supports the theory that french fries indeed originated in Belgium. According to this legend, some American or British soldiers went to Belgium on World War I, and were able to taste the Belgian french fries."

León / Alter Net September 2, 2014, 10:58 AM GMTPrint224 COMMENTSPhoto Credit: Shutterstock.com The standard school lunch for an American child often contains dishes brimming with preservatives and sodium. While some schools have completely overhauled their school menus to contain fresh vegetables and grains, others still struggle with meeting nutritional guidelines. But for students in France, it appears that school lunches are the least of their concerns. Rebecca Plantier moved to a town near Annecy, France to research why French children aren't as overweight as many American children are. The local city council offered Plantier a tour of her children's cafeteria, or cantine as it's known in France, and Plantier discovered early on that if America and France had a school lunch food fight, France would be the overwhelming victor. In France, lunch menus are prepared two months in advance and sent away to a nutritionist who gives the menu final approval. The nutritionist can make adjustments to the meal, such as suggesting a dessert be swapped for fruit if \"\"she thinks there's too much sugar that week,\"\" writes Plantier. Not only that, but lunches are prepared on site. There are no \"\"ready made frozen\"\" meals to speak of, no box-cutters excavating fish sticks or fries; instead, school cooks prepare everything by hand."

Normally, a deep fryer or chip pan is used for this; industrially, a pressure fryer or vacuum fryer may be used. Deep frying may also be performed using oil that is heated in a pot. Deep frying is classified as hot-fat cooking method. [ 1] [2] Typically, deep frying foods cook quickly: all sides of a food are cooked simultaneously as oil has a high rate of heat conduction. [ 3]The term \"\"deep frying\"\" and many modern deep-fried foods were not invented until the 19th century, but the practice has been around for millennia. Early records and cookbooks suggest that the practice began in a few European and Arabian countries before other countries adopted the practice. Deep frying is popular worldwide, with deep-fried foods accounting for a large portion of global caloric consumption. Many foods are deep-fried and cultures surrounding deep frying have developed, most notably in the Southern United States, where many events dedicated to deep frying food and non-edible items are held.

Vogel - [email protected] - Mark’s Archive Recipe below Why is French toast called “French” toast? It didn’t originate in France. In fact, despite its Francophilic title, there is nothing inherently French about French toast. It is a dish that spans numerous countries and eras in history. Moreover, it is or has been known by many other monikers such as Spanish toast, German toast, nun’s toast, eggy bread, torriga, Poor knights of Windsor, and many others. In France, the country of its namesake, it is known as “pain purdue,” which translates as “lost bread.” This ineluctably refers to the traditional use of stale bread in the dish. French toast can be traced back to the Romans. This is really not surprising. In fact, its origins must be hoarier than that."

Other parts of the world, most notably Europe, the term French fry is used only to describe the thinly sliced style of fries (think Mc Donalds vs. Red Robin... yum). The thicker cut fries (or as some may know them as steak fries) are typically called chips, which are pan fried in a skillet like the photo above. In French, 'frite' is used to denote the process of deep frying a food, but in America when we say 'fried' it can mean anything from pan frying to sautéing or even full out deep frying. So by adding the word French before our fry it denotes what type of fried potato product we're actually talking about. Skinny and deep fried vs. fat and pan fried. Who knew the potato was so complicated?"

"text": "\"Seafood Basics Food Equivalents Ingredient Glossary All About Cooking with Fresh Sardines Sardines Are Sustainable, Delicious, and Good for You By Hank Shaw Updated 01/24/18Share Pin Email Adam Gault/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images Sardines—the fresh kind, not canned —are among Mother Nature's great gifts. They are plentiful on both coasts, inexpensive, loaded with the omega-3 fatty acids health officials are crowing about, and they are absolutely delicious. Sardines are a small schooling fish that roam the open oceans eating plankton and small crustaceans. They are, in turn, eaten by, well, just about everything. Including people. Fresh vs. Canned You are probably most familiar with canned sardines, and they are an excellent product when well made. But they are a poor substitute for the fresh-from-the-ocean fish, which are most prevalent in warm weather, but you may have to battle the fishers who prefer to use them for baitfish rather than eat them or sell them on the open markets. Finding fresh sardines is a good reason to drop everything and call your friends for a feast. Sardines rot faster than almost any other fish—it's all those omega-3s —so buy a bunch and eat them the day you find them because you never know when you'll see fresh sardines at the market again. Choosing and Storing Look for sardines that are clean-smelling and whole."

"text": "The 5 Safest Fish to Eat: Salmon, Tilapia, Rainbow Trout, And More Katherine Cancila Image Source: Thinkstock When it comes to fish, it seems the question on everyone’s mind is one about safety. I mean, what seafood is best for our bodies and safe for dinner? Of course, it makes sense. As parents, we want fish that’s delicious and stocked with the nutrients our kids need. We want fish that is packed with vitamins and rich in flavor. So here are the five best fish for the environment, growing brains and bodies, and finicky taste buds.1. Salmon Shopping for salmon can be a bit confusing. ( Between filing taxes, farm-raised, and wild options there is a lot to choose from.) But there’s good reason why this majestic fish remains such a popular choice among parents and kids: it’s full of vitamins, lends itself to countless easy preparations, and has an undeniably rich, delicious flavor. Available during the late spring and summer months, Wild Alaskan salmon — a category that comprises the pink, coho, sockeye, chum, and king (Chinook), varieties — is always the best choice."

It is recommended eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

"text": "\"TIPS AND TRAPS FOR FEEDING FADDY CATSCopyright 1994, Sarah Hartwell Cats are naturally careful eaters as their digestive system is not good at breaking down toxins. Because cats are so sensitive to poisons, their senses of taste and smell must prevent them from eating food which could be harmful to them. An excellent sense of smell warns them of stale or contaminated food and if their sense of smell fails, so does their appetite. Unfortunately, the same mechanism which helps cats avoid harmful foods can turn it into a faddy eater. Faddy eaters may be fixated on one or two types of food. This may lead to an unbalanced diet if its preferred foods are 'treat' foods or to problems if the food becomes unavailable. For these reasons, it's unwise to allow a cat to become a faddy eater. Unfortunately it's all too easy to be manipulated without realising it. You avoid one or two flavours because your cat isn't keen on them. It will eat them once it gets hungry enough, but it knows you will crack before it does."

While most diabetics can enjoy all foods in moderation, your diet should consist mainly of healthy foods full of vitamins and minerals.

If you feed at least three-quarters commercial food, you don't need to worry too much about balancing the foods you add, though variety is always better than always feeding the same thing. The more fresh food you feed, the more important it is to provide a variety of foods in appropriate proportions in order to maintain a balanced diet (see Balancing a Homemade Diet for more information). It is better to add foods from animal sources (eggs, meat, dairy, etc.) rather than plant foods (grains, legumes and vegetables), since most commercial diets are high in carbohydrates, for which dogs have no nutritional need, while animal protein provides a number of benefits (see High-Protein Diets for more information). If you are feeding a large percentage of homemade food, then it's OK to add some carbs, such as pasta, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, etc., but animal products should always make up at least half what you add. Most dogs do fine with fresh foods, whether raw or cooked, but a few may have problems. If your dog develops diarrhea or any other digestive problems when you add fresh foods, try feeding the two types of food separately. You can also experiment with different foods and different ways of preparing them -- some dogs may do better with raw food, for example, while others do best when the food is cooked."

He toured the world searching for the healthiest human populations, in part to test some theories about nutrition, and also just out of sheer curiosity. He was a careful researcher, and was fascinated by the varied diets and lifestyles of the tribes he heard about and sought out around the world. He studied their dental health, their diets, their child-rearing practices, and even their beliefs to try to find out what made them so healthy. He also studied less healthy tribes, and modernized tribes, and was able to compare their diets and lifestyles. For example, he was amazed that he found no vegetarian groups that were extremely healthy. All the healthiest tribes used animal products. He only found two of the healthiest groups that used dairy products (Switzerland and North Africa), always eaten raw. Dr. Price’s main book, Nutrition And Physical Degeneration, as well as his other writings, stand today as classic nutritional research.

Although it is present in all fish, oily fish contain much higher levels of these oils than white (or non-oily) fish. Oily fish is also especially good for you as the bones are often soft and easily chewable, which means you are more likely to eat the bones which are full of calcium, fluoride and phosphorus.

"text": "\"Whether you call them mangoes, mangrove snapper or gray snapper, you can call them lunch any time you hook up with this tasty inshore member of the snapper clan. And right now is a great time to capture a mangrove snapper meal - the fish gather in large schools for the late-summer spawn, continuing into September most years. When they are schooling, as they are now, you may find mangrove snapper in any pothole in the flats. However, if you find a hole with a rock pile, sunken boat or submerged tree, that's almost a sure thing. They also hang around the rock pylings at the Skyway this time of year, and on high tides around the deep undercut mangrove shorelines in the Bishop Harbor/Mariposa area. And where you catch one, you're likely to catch a dozen, because they school tightly. The deeper mangrove edges and channels throughout Charlotte Harbor are similarly snapper-rich. The average inshore snapper is likely to be about 10 to 12 inches long and weigh a pound or 2. But there are plenty of big ones on the edges of the ship channels that run through Tampa Bay at this time of summer. They particularly home in on areas where there are rock piles or other broken bottom, typically at depths around 40 feet."

"text": "In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte had a problem: his army was hungry. In the days before the invention of freezer trucks or MREs, keeping an effective fighting force supplied with enough food was a logistical nightmare. At the time, invading armies usually lived off the local countryside, but this was notoriously unreliable: for one thing, peasants often destroyed their own crops to resist the invaders. Napoleon needed a way to store and transport rations for months on end, to fuel his troops through long months on campaign. An inventor named Nicolas Appert claimed a substantial reward from the French army for discovering the answer: cans. With canned food, the army could take meat, vegetables, and even milk along for long campaigns – and one of the first staples to receive this treatment was sardines. Vitamins wouldn’t even be discovered for another hundred years, but if Napoleon had known how well he was feeding his men, he would have been very pleased with his choice. Sardines are packed with nutrients of every kind, and the canned fish are actually even better than the fresh, because with canned sardines, you’re eating the whole animal. That’s the truly “Paleo” way to do it – nobody in preindustrial cultures was throwing out the bones, skin, and organs of the animals they killed. They ate everything, and they were much healthier for it, because there are all kinds of valuable nutrients hidden away in these “odd bits."

Nutritional Info: All types of salmon are high in omega-3s, ranging from about 750 mg to 1,270 mg per 75-gram serving. They are also a good source of vitamin D, with one serving providing 100 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA)-and the bones in canned salmon provide calcium. Because contaminant risk is low, there is no limit on consumption. Is It Eco-Friendly? All wild Pacific salmon species face conservation issues. Farmed Pacific salmon is high in omega-3, but amounts may be lower than wild."

Even my old home country features toad in the hole (sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter) and spotted dick (a cylindrical steamed suet sponge pudding with raisins and custard) on our British menus. Now comes food from Canada that sounds unique and unappealing, so much so that they’re changing its name from poutine to the more digestible “loaded fries. ”Poutine is a Quebec–born mix of fries and cheese curds covered in gravy. There are 30 varieties of poutine, including a chili cheesesteak poutine with flat-iron steak, homemade chili-and-cheese sauce, or a double-pork poutine with chipotle pulled pork and double-smoked bacon and covered in gravy. There also are vegetarian options. Poutine is available in Las Vegas (from Public House in the Venetian to Haute Doggery in the Linq Promenade), but it’s coming to Las Vegas in a big way. Rob and Natalie Buckel are owners of the Smoke’s Poutinerie Pawn Plaza location and are longtime locals. Rob is a military veteran and a cancer survivor, and Natalie grew up a few blocks from the Strip."

They have the largest network of restaurants (34.000) serving customers in 119 countries. The story began in 1940 when Richard and Maurice Mc Donald opened their first barbecue restaurant. Few decades later a franchise agent working for them bought Mc Donald’s after a series of legal battles. Mc Donald’s is known for the hamburgers, chicken burgers, French fries, cheeseburgers, breakfast menus and desserts. In the recent years their menu includes fish, frozen fruit and salads too. You probably know about Mc Donald’s mascot – Ronald Mc Donald. It represents a clown with puffed out costume legs. But before Ronald Mc Donald was introduced to the public (1967) there was another mascot called Speedee. Mc Donald’s is also known for the drive-through service and there are restaurants that offer only this kind of service for their customers, although most of them have a combination of counter service and drive-through service ."

"text": "How Many Calories Are in An Egg? And Why You Should Eat More Eggs By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Food & Nutrition Many people wonder how many calories an egg contains and some people are worried about egg’s cholesterol and fat content. But according to research, eggs are a versatile food that are high in good quality protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, eggs are healthier than most people imagine and don’t have as many calories as you might think. Therefore, eggs should be an important part of a well-balanced, healthy diet. Advertisement The number of calories in an egg depends on the size of the egg and the way it is cooked. Boiled and poached eggs contain fewer calories and fat than fried and scrambled eggs that are fried in oil or have milk added. Even though they are high in cholesterol, eggs contain mostly unsaturated fat, which is essential in a healthy diet. In fact, as you will see in this article, most people can eat up to 6 eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. In order to make wise choices when it comes to your diet, it’s important to know the calorie content of eggs."

And if you're thinking that deep frying tortillas is awfully American for Chinese food, you're onto something. THE REASONThe main gustatory difference between a spring roll and its egg cousin is that spring rolls have thin, often translucent flour wrappers and usually aren't fried, while egg rolls have thicker, deep-fried wrappings. Also, spring rolls in America are often filled with carrots and bamboo, while egg rolls are more likely to be filled with meat and bean shoots. Oh, and one other difference: Spring rolls are Chinese; egg rolls probably aren't. In fact, Chinese cuisine in America is so vastly different from Chinese cuisine in China that many American Chinese restaurants advertise, beneath their English names, the words \"\"Westernized Food\"\" in Chinese."

[ 8]Nasi lemak can also be found in the Bangsamoro region of Mindanao prepared by Filipino Moro. It is considered one of the most famous dishes for a Malay-style breakfast. It is not to be confused with nasi dagang, sold in the Malaysian east coast states of Terengganu and Kelantan, although both dishes are often served for breakfast. However, because nasi lemak can be served in a variety of ways, it is often eaten throughout the day.

But a Reuben is no more like a patty melt than an egg roll is like a lumpia. All rolls share a common ancestry in Chinese cuisine, which has a heavy influence in Southeast Asia. Different regional ingredients and preparation styles created many varieties in different countries that share little similarity besides their meat-and-veggies-inside-a-wrapper commonality. Here’s how to tell the difference, so you can stop wondering why those plantain-filled rolls at your Filipino spot continue to not look any thing like an egg roll.

If you are lactose intolerant, the use of eggs in your diet is safe and will not cause any symptoms. If you develop any adverse reactions after eating eggs, you may have an egg allergy or intolerance. Stop eating eggs if your symptoms persist, until you can be seen by your doctor. If you’re allergic to eggs, you are at greater risk of developing a severe allergic reaction. Lactose Lactose is a sugar found in milk. In order for lactose to be properly digested, your body needs to create lactase, an enzyme that simplifies the lactose into galactose and glucose, according to Medline Plus. If your body does not produce enough lactase, the lactose will sit undigested in your digestive system until it can be broken down by bacteria. This causes excessive gas and bloating and will result in common lactose intolerant symptoms, such as diarrhea, stomach cramping and nausea. Egg Conditions If you develop symptoms that resemble lactose-intolerance after eating eggs, you may actually have an egg allergy or intolerance."

"text": "\"PRINTCategory: Chicken Perfect Fried Chickenby Patricia Mitchell How to make perfect fried chicken. With summer's fast approach, many of us reminisce about summers past. The sounds of summer -- the droning of a lawn mower, the distant slamming of a screen door -- can sometimes transport us back to childhood, however briefly. And for many people, particularly those with southern roots, fried chicken can be equally evocative. For me, it brings back Sunday dinners. Surely we didn't have fried chicken every Sunday but, in retrospect, it seems as if we did. So, with summer coming on and a little of the hysteria associated with fat and fried foods subsiding, it's a good time to revisit fried chicken. Whether you make it the main course of your Sunday (or any other day) dinner served up with cream gravy and hot biscuits, or take it on a picnic, served cold and complemented with potato salad, fried chicken is a joy for chicken lovers anywhere. You will probably want to make it the way your mama made hers, so we've included several different methods, one of which will probably come pretty close or hit the nail on the head. How to Make Fried Chicken There are a number of points that are crucial to the success of your fried chicken."

This breed demonstrates a high number of individuals with co-efficients of inbreeding (COI) at around 15%. This level of in-breeding pre-disposes to the inheritance of genetic defects. The first sign of ‘in-breeding inertia’ is lowered fertility within the given population.

"text": "\"The History of the Friesian Horse The Friesian horse is a breed of horse from Friesland, a province of the Netherlands. Although originally bred as a draft horse, the breed is graceful and nimble for its size and later developed into a finer-boned nobleman's steed. During the Middle Ages, Friesian horses were in great demand as destriers throughout Europe since their size enabled them to carry a knight in full armor. After a few close calls with breed extinction, the impressive Friesian horse is now growing in numbers and popularity, proving to excel in both dressage and driving. Breed characteristics The Friesian is probably best known for its black color and luxurious mane, tail, and 'feathers' (long, untrimmed hair on the lower legs). The official breed rarely has white markings of any kind, because registries allow only a small star on the forehead for purebred conformance. Though extremely rare, Friesians are sometimes chestnut, these horses can not be registered. \"\" Fire Magic\"\" is an example of a chestnut Friesian. The Friesian's average height is about 15.3 hands (1.60 m), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hands (between 1.5 m and 1.7 m) tall at the withers, and mares must be at least 15.2 hands (1.57 m) tall to qualify for its special 'star-designation' pedigree. It has a spectacular trot, both fast and high-stepping."

Horse breeds have developed over a span of time. Various parts of the world, now consist of different breeds of horses. Ironically, horses were first tamed in Central Asia between 3000 to 4000 B. C. They were bred for the purpose of meat and dairy products. The 'early man' era was evolving and so were the purposes for which the animal was used. Early man and his discoveries led him to be excessively nomadic in his endeavors, thus employing horses as pack animals. The history of horseback riding traces the era when man rode the horse for the very first time and also used it as a hauler. Before we embark on our quest to know more about horse and horse breeds, let me elucidate the meaning of the term 'breed'."

"text": "\"Fringe Benefit Rates UCSF policy is to use the most accurate benefit rates for budgeting on sponsored proposals. Allowable fringe benefits consist of employer contributions such as to health plans, insurance plans, social security, and retirement plans. All rates are expressed as a percentage of salaries. Therefore, to calculate fringe benefit costs, multiply the salary by the applicable benefit rate. At the time of award, UCSF charges the actual cost of fringe benefits for each employee as related to the salary and wages charged for that employee. The actual cost is applied per salary irrespective of fund source. Average Fringe Benefit Rates Our published average fringe benefit rates are average rates of the actual fringe benefits charged for employees at UCSF (See chart below). Due to the stepped resumption of employer contributions to the UCRP, average fringe benefit rates must be escalated from year to year in multiyear budgets. Therefore, if a proposal budget spans two UC fiscal years (e.g., 10/1/13 – 9/30/14), a combination of the two the benefit rates should be used in the proposal. For example, a proposal budget with the duration of 10/1/13 – 9/30/14 for academic personnel: October 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014: 31%July 1, 2014 – September 30, 2015: 33.72%Alternatives to Use of the Average Fringe Benefit Rates Under special circumstances, the use of the average fringe benefit rate may understate or overstate the actual costs for employee benefits (e.g., a proposal in which the majority of personnel budgeted are part-time and are eligible for full benefits)."

Fringe benefits, sometimes called “perks,” are offered by some employers to some employees, usually for the purpose of enticing highly qualified individuals to accept or maintain employment at their companies. This type of non-wage benefit is something counted as taxable income, depending on the perk. To explore this concept, consider the following fringe benefits definition. Definition of Fringe Benefits Noun Benefits given to an employee in addition to his wages or salary. Origin1945-1950 American business practice What are Fringe Benefits Fringe benefits are a type of compensation provided to an employee outside of his normal wage or salary. Many years ago, employers began to understand that potential employees give great consideration to the wage or salary offered. In an effort to tempt a qualified individual to accept employment with the company, rather than going to a competing company, many employers began offering non-wage compensation in addition to the actual salary offered. These fringe benefits, often in the form of employer-paid life and health insurance policies, retirement benefits, and other things that might aid in the recruitment of top quality, skilled workers. In fact, fringe benefits play a large role in keeping workers motivated to do quality work and increase production."

"text": "A: More often than not, employers offer employees benefits above and beyond an agreed-upon wage or salary. In addition to a paycheck, employees receive compensation by way of fringe benefits. These company perks can include group life, health and disability insurance options; dependent care; tuition reimbursement or education assistance; and retirement plan contributions and matching contributions. Common fringe benefits such as these are tremendously beneficial to employees, but offering these perks as a bonus can be an advantage to the employer as well. Recruiting Talent In the current economy, new businesses are starting up each and every day. With a great deal of competition among similarly focused companies, employers can find it challenging to attract quality recruits based on salary alone. When employers offer bonus compensation through common fringe benefits and benefits that may not be available through a competitor, it has a greater chance at recruiting the level of talent in prospective employees it needs or wants. Retaining High-performing Employees Competition can present an issue for a number of companies, not only in the realm of product or service similarity or mission focus, but also in terms of employee retention. Employees who are newer to the workforce are more likely to have the technological prowess that makes them a target for recruitment from competition, while more seasoned employees can be attractive to competing businesses for their knowledge of a specific industry. Employers wanting to retain high-quality talent are then incentivized to offer employees more than just an increase in salary or hourly wage each year."

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

"text": "How to Prepare a Budget Budget Development Guidelines Preparation of the budget is, for many researchers, the most difficult task involved in proposal development. Granting agencies review hundreds of proposals annually and are proficient at comparing level of funding requested to perform the research work proposed. Therefore, it is important that the budget section of the proposal reflect, as accurately as possible, the funding needed to carry out the proposed research. The investigator should neither overestimate the funds required nor underestimate budgetary needs. Either of these strategies may lead to proposal rejection. A budget, accurately detailing the funds necessary to carry out the technical statement of work, can strengthen the total proposal and increase the likelihood of funding. Furthermore, a carefully prepared budget can often identify weak areas in the proposal narrative and result in improvement of the proposal. Grant coordinators at the department and college level can provide expertise in completing a budget request, applying fringe benefit and facilities and administrative cost rates, and documenting subrecipient agreements, consultants, matching funds and cost sharing. In the case of more complicated proposal requirements, OSPA will complete sponsor assurances and certifications and will assist the investigator in interpreting sponsor guidelines. Budget templates with ISU rates are available and we encourage you to use them."

To determine how much to budget for faculty/staff, think in terms of each person’s percent-of-effort to be devoted to the project and apply that percentage to the appropriate base period. There are three basic salary (wage) bases: Calendar Year, Academic Year and Summer Term. Here is a month/week/hours breakout for each: Calendar year (CY)12 months 52 weeks 2,080 hours Academic year (AY)9 months 39 weeks 1,560 hours Summer term (SM)3 months 13 weeks 520 hours To fill out the budget forms for many grants you need to convert percent-of-effort to months. Examples: A PI on AY appointment at a salary of $63,000 would have a monthly salary of $7,000 (one-ninth of the AY).25% of AY effort would be 2.25 AY month. The budget figure for that effort would be $15,750 (25% of total AY salary)Two Summer Salary months for this PI would be $14,000 (equivalent to two-ninths of AY salary). Two summer months would be 66% of the three month summer term. A PI on a CY appointment at a salary of $72,000 would have a monthly salary of $6,000 (one-twelfth of total CY salary).25% of CY effort would be 3 CY months. The budget figure for that effort would be $18,000 (25% of total CY salary). Please note: Always check program guidelines to determine if there are any restrictions imposed on personnel costs (summer salary only, no AY time, no more than x% of PI time, etc.)."

During the day the tentacles are extended and provide nice movement to the reef which is much like the movement normally only found in soft corals. On top of the nice movement the tentacles fluoresce under actinic lighting adding vibrant color to the reef. Frogspawn corals come in a variety of colors. Some of the most common colors are brown, green, and purple. Common Names: Frogspawn Coral or Honey Coral Skill Level: Moderate Classification: LPSDisposition: Aggressive Light Level: Moderate Water Flow: Moderate Water Conditions: 72-78° F, d KH 8-12, p H 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025With Frogspawn corals it is especially important to realize that when the lights are off this coral will extend its sweeper tentacles. These tentacles can reach up to six inches long. Their purpose is to sting any corals which might be encroaching on its territory. This is why you have to be careful when placing this coral. The exception is that you can keep frogspawn corals in close proximity to corals of the same family such as hammer corals."

These unicellular algae commonly reside in the endoderm of tropical cnidarians such as corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish, where the products of their photosynthetic processing are exchanged in the host for inorganic molecules. They are also harbored by various species of sponge, flatworms, mollusks such as the giant clams, foraminifera ( soritids), and some ciliates. Generally, these dinoflagellates enter the host cell through phagocytosis, persist as intracellular symbionts, reproduce, and disperse to the environment. The exception is in most mollusks, where Symbiodinium are intercellular (between the cells). Cnidarians that are associated with Symbiodinium occur mostly in warm oligotrophic (nutrient-poor), marine environments where they are often the dominant constituents of benthic communities. These dinoflagellates are therefore among the most abundant eukaryotic microbes found in coral reef ecosystems. Symbiodinium are colloquially called \"\" zooxanthellae \"\" ,and animals symbiotic with algae in this genus are said to be \"\"zooxanthellate\"\". The term was loosely used to refer to any golden-brown endosymbionts, including diatoms and other dinoflagellates. Continued use of the term in the scientific literature is discouraged because of the confusion caused by overly generalizing taxonomically diverse symbiotic relationships. ["

The ones which are photosynthetic are sometimes loosely called ' algae '; the one which are predators are sometimes loosely called ' protozoa '. They have been classified as an order, a class and a phylum by different authors. Active research is being done on their relationships. Most are marine plankton, but they are common in fresh water habitats as well. Their populations are distributed depending on temperature, salinity, or depth. The group includes many symbionts and bioluminescent species. About 1,555 species of free-living marine dinoflagellates are currently described.

However, it does not have to be. This information should help you to make the right decision about your aquarium lights. Aquarium Light Fixtures The least expensive aquarium light fixtures are incandescent lights. These fixtures take regular screw-in type light bulbs. The bulbs are also relatively inexpensive. However, these bulbs need to be replaced much more often than other types of bulbs. Unfortunately, incandescent light bulbs put out a lot of heat, making it more difficult to regulate the temperature in your fish tank. Also these lights use more power for the light they give off than most other aquarium lighting, so you will have a higher power bill using this type of fixture."

I googled the difference between lps and sps and I understand that the lps are an easier coral to grow because they are hardier than the sps correct? Now, is it true that all LPS like the medium flow where they sit towards the lower part of the tank and then the SPS like it higher with more flow and light in the top of the tank? Which leads me to my next question. Soft corals after reading thru some things are they more like the LPS than the SPS? If so now I am getting why my frogspawn and my zoas pretty much stayed the same, they had to much flow and sat to high to the lights.... Which is also why my goniopora died off. ugh...

However, recent genetic studies suggest eukaryotes diverged from prokaryotes closer to 2 billion years ago. Fossils do not yet agree with this date. The old Kingdom Protista, as I learned it long ago, thus contains some living groups that might serve as possible models for the early eukaryotes. This taxonomic kingdom has been broken into many new kingdoms, reflecting new studies and techniques that help elucidate the true phylogenetic sequence of life on Earth. Protists exhibit a great deal of variation in their life histories (life cycles). They exhibit an alternation between diploid and haploid phases that is similar to the alternation of generations found in plants. Protist life cycles vary from diploid dominant, to haploid dominant.

"text": "Discarded fishing gear D iscarded fishing gear such as monofilament fishing lines, sinker and hooks can entangle corals and abrade polyp tissue leading to coral lesions and mortality. In popular cast fishing spots in Oahu, Hawaii, scientists recorded fishing lines on 65% of 129 cauliflower coral ( Pocillopora meandrina) colonies surveyed with increasing percentages of entirely or partially dead colonies being found in areas of with high percentages of colonies with fishing lines. A strong relationship was also found between the percentages of surface area with fishing lines and the percentage of dead surface area. Nutrients The health and diversity of coral reefs are threatened by excess nutrients carried into the ocean from the terrestrial and coastal zone. Discharged sewage (treated and untreated) and industrial pollutants as well as surface run off containing traces of agricultural fertilisers, animal waste and sediments from deforested areas alter the natural balance of nutrients in the ocean. This influences the survival, growth, reproduction and recruitment of corals as well interactions of corals with other marine organisms. Scientific studies into effects of nutrients on coral reefs have shown that high levels of dissolved inorganic nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, can reduce coral growth and calcification rates in some coral species by up to 50%. In other species, coral growth in high nutrient environments has been reported to increase although areas of new growth exhibit reduced skeletal density. The change in calcification rates of corals in high nutrient environments is believed to be caused by an increase in the number of zooxanthelle found in coral hosts which is triggered by the high concentrations of dissolve inorganic nitrogen. As the zooxanthelle densities rise, photosynthetic activity (which uses CO2) also increases limiting the availability of CO2 for calcification."

"text": "Frogspawn, Tadpoles, Frogs & Toads From Frogspawn to Tadpoles to Frogs What is a tadpole/pollywog? A tadpole is the larval stage of a frog, a toad, a salamander or a newt. Also known as a pollywog. In the beginning it breathes by means of external or internal gills. It has a finlike tail and lacks front and hind legs. As a tadpole matures, it metamorphoses by gradually absorbing its tail and then grows its front and back limbs. Most tadpoles are herbivorous, subsisting on algae. Tadpoles change from being vegetarians (plant eaters) to being carnivorous (meat eaters) once they start to develop their legs. If food is scarce in a tank the tadpoles and froglets may start eating each other. You may want to put a bit of cat food or fish food that floats on the top of the water to be sure they have enough food, but take care not to over feed to avoid polluting their water."

"text": "Introduction Dinoflagellates are common organisms in all types of aquatic ecosystems. Roughly half of the species in the group are photosynthetic (Gaines and Elbrächter 1987), the other half is exclusively heterotrophic and feeds via osmotrophy and phagotrophy. As a consequence, they are prominent members of both the phytoplankton and the zooplankton of marine and freshwater ecosystems. They are also common in benthic environments and in sea ice. Noctiluca scintillans is a very large marine, planktonic, phagotrophic, athecate dinoflagellate that can cause pinkish red or greenish red tides, that is able to be bioluminescent, and that can contain green eukaryotic endosymbionts ( Pedinomonas noctilucae ). The shown specimen is from a temperate region (without endosymbionts) but the species can also be found in subtropical and tropical areas. © Mona Hoppenrath In terms of morphology, dinoflagellates can be as varied and complex as any unicellular eukaryote. Complex organelles found in the group include structures reminiscent of a full-fledged vertebrate eye (but in a unicellular organism that lacks a brain), nematocysts comparable to those of cnidarians, and a bewildering array of plastid types in the photosynthetic forms. Dinoflagellates exist as plasmodia (i.e. multinucleate organisms), biflagellated cells, coccoid stages and even, in one small group, as cell arrays that approach multicellularity. Genetically, dinoflagellates are also unique."

Click the image for a larger view of these cells. Most reef-building corals contain photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae, that live in their tissues. The corals and algae have a mutualistic relationship. The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds they need for photosynthesis. In return, the algae produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes. Most importantly, zooxanthellae supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids, which are the products of photosynthesis. The coral uses these products to make proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and produce calcium carbonate (Barnes, R. D., 1987; Barnes, R. S.

Reefs can be artificial or natural. An artificial reef is a human-made underwater structure. This sunken ship is considered an artificial reef. The tiny crevices and 3-dimensional surfaces attract fish looking to hid from predators, and the hard surface offers a perfect place for algae and other fouling plants and animals. Artificial reefs are often created for the purpose of enhancing marine life in areas of the ocean with very little bottom structure. Artificial reefs are often created from sunken ships, tires, concrete blocks, or other rubble that provides habitat for marine organisms. Algae, barnacles, corals, and oysters grow on artificial reef structures, providing food and increasing habitat for many marine species. Florida has more artificial reefs than any other state – over 2,500!A natural reef, such as coral reef, is any reef that is naturally occurring, and was not created by humans. A coral reef is an underwater ridge created by a colonial organism called coral as it builds its own protective housing."

Types of Algae There are many types of algae. There are also a few organisms that look like algae but are not algae at all. In a healthy aquarium, the algae will be green, and if left alone, will grow hair-like in appearance.

Brian Jeffery Beggerly/Flickr/CC BY 2.0Corals are stimulated to expand their polyps to feed by a number of influences. Temperature, the time of the day, the oxygen content of the water, water movement, the presence of food or sediment are the influencing factors. Coral polyps will expand and contract throughout the day and night, depending upon how much food is readily available. The Zooplankton contained in the coral polyps releases the amino acids glycine, glutathione and proline, which appear to induce a feeding response in most corals. Each polyp feeds until its appetite has been satisfied. The amount of food required depends upon the individual species, metabolic requirements and the amount of food available. In the wild, corals seem to feed more actively at night rather than during the day. As the sun sets and the reef becomes darker, plankton rises from the reef, providing a food rich environment for the polyps. This is the major food source for most corals."

It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known; nearly all life depends on it. It is an extremely complex process, comprised of many coordinated biochemical reactions. It occurs in higher plants, algae, some bacteria, and some protists, organisms collectively referred to as photoautotrophs. Overview Photosynthesis uses the energy of light to make the sugar, glucose. A simple general equation for photosynthesis follows. 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen + water Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first phase light-dependent reactions or photosynthetic reactions (also called the Light reactions) capture the energy of light and use it to make high-energy molecules."

Carbohydrates provide energy not only to your muscles, but also to all the other tissues and organs of your body, including your brain, which is the only organ in your body that is completely dependent on carbohydrates. In addition to providing energy to your body, a small amount carbohydrates are also used by your liver to help build lipoproteins (lipoproteins transport fats and cholesterol throughout your body via your bloodstream). Carbohydrates, along with proteins and fats, are macronutrients. That means that carbohydrates are nutrients that are required in relatively large amounts within the body, and that they are capable of providing caloric energy when consumed (as opposed to vitamins and minerals, which are micronutrients and do not provide any caloric energy when consumed). The basic chemical unit from which carbohydrates are made is the CH 2 O molecule. Essentially, this basic carbohydrate unit is just a water molecule (i.e. H 2 O) with a carbon atom (i.e. C), attached."

"text": "Author: Frank W. Jackson, M. D. Purpose Hypoglycemia is the term for a blood glucose level that is lower than normal. When foods are digested in the body, they are broken down into many nutrients. These nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream to be used in performing various body functions. One of these nutrients is glucose, a sugar that provides fuel to the body. The process that regulates the amount of sugar in the blood is complex. Adrenaline is a part of this complicated process. Everyone has experienced a rush of adrenaline at some time — that “love-at-first-sight” feeling, or the pounding heart after narrowly escaping an accident. Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys. The sudden release of adrenaline is what causes the symptoms of hypoglycemia — apprehension, hunger, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and faintness. Hypoglycemia can occur from certain illnesses, such as liver disease and some types of tumors."

Carbohydrates account for more than 50 percent of the calories in the average American diet, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Most dietary carbohydrates come from plants. Sugars and starches are nutritive carbohydrates, meaning they are broken down and utilized by the body, primarily to generate energy. Although dietary fiber is also a carbohydrate, it contributes no calories because it is not digested or absorbed. Grain Products Grain products are the leading source of carbohydrates in the American diet. Grains naturally contain high concentrations of starch, which your gastrointestinal system breaks down into sugars. Common grains in the U. S. diet include wheat, oats, rice, barley and cornmeal.

Modest servings of berries and melon are usually allowable on carb restrictions of 50 to 150 grams per day, but most low-carb dieters will avoid starchy fruits that are highest in carbohydrates, such as tropical fruits and dried fruits.

"text": "\"Carbohydrate and Sugars Terminology Dietary carbohydrate is an important source of food energy, and has a wide range of chemical, physical and physiological properties. Carbohydrate is classified according to chemical composition, but these groupings are not always helpful when describing physical and nutrition functions. As a result, a number of terms have emerged to group carbohydrates based on physiological properties and to help focus on specific health benefits. The World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization (WHO/FAO) have recommended that terminology be standardized primarily based on its chemical make-up (i.e., number of sugar units, type of linkage between units). Key terminology used to describe carbohydrate summarized below. Carbohydrates Sugars Sugar Other Terminology References Carbohydrates Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; in approximately a 1:2:1 molar ratio, giving the general formula Cx H2x Ox. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is always 2:1. General names for carbohydrates include sugars, starches, saccharides, and polysaccharides. The term saccharide is derived from the Latin word \"\"sacchararum\"\" from the sweet taste of sugars. The simplest carbohydrates are monosaccharides (single sugar units) such as glucose, fructose and galactose."

"text": "What is carbohydrate counting? Carbohydrate counting is a way for you to keep track of the amount of sugar, known as carbohydrates, that you eat. If you have diabetes, it is important to learn about carbohydrates found in food. Keeping track of your carbohydrate intake will help you control your blood sugar levels. What is a carbohydrate? A carbohydrate is a food that is turned into sugar (glucose) when you digest it. Any carbohydrate food will raise your blood sugar. Complex carbohydrates raise sugar more slowly (it takes your body longer to digest and absorb these) while simple carbohydrates or sugars can raise your sugar level more quickly. Where are carbohydrates found? Carbohydrates are naturally found in many different foods."

Sources Of Carbohydrates5.1 Carbohydrates Are a Component of Every Food As mentioned earlier in this lesson, carbohydrates, along with proteins and fats, form the major components of living matter. They maintain the functional activity of the cells and serve as structural and reserve materials. Carbohydrates provide the primary source of energy for humans. There is not a single living thing—plant or animal—that does not contain carbohydrates in some form. Though the quantity and form of carbohydrates varies, the presence of carbohydrates as an integral component of life is constant. This means that all foods are potential sources of carbohydrates. However, some foods are better sources than others, and this is what we will discuss now.5.2 Carbohydrates Are a Primary Component of Some Foods Most foods can be readily classified according to the organic compounds (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc.) they contain in greatest abundance. These classifications are not only useful for identifying where to obtain the nutrients we need, but they are also invaluable in selecting compatible food combinations for best digestion and nutrition (to be discussed in depth in a later lesson).5.3 Starches As Sources of Carbohydrates Starch-containing foods can be divided into four classifications: Starchy Vegetables All kinds of potatoes are in this classification."

Carbohydrates are found in foods such as: starches, fruit, milk/yogurt, legumes, sweets, and candy. When metabolized carbohydrates turn into sugar (glucose), which is the body's primary source of energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, takes glucose from the blood stream to the cells to use for energy. When you have diabetes, managing blood sugar can be difficult either because your pancreas isn't making enough insulin or the insulin it makes isn't being used efficiently. This typically happens when you are overweight. Eating too much can contribute to weight gain and obesity, making your body more resistant to insulin. Learning how to eat a balanced, modified carbohydrate diet, can help you to lose weight and manage your blood sugars.

While fruits are a source of carbohydrates -- the nutrient responsible for affecting blood sugar -- their carbs are from natural sugar and can be incorporated into a healthy meal plan. However, like all carbohydrates, they should be consumed strategically for the person with diabetes. Some fruits will affect blood sugar more than others, because of their higher glycemic index. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Fiber, Vitamins, Minerals and Antioxidants Both the American Diabetes Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommend that people with diabetes consume a varied diet with foods from all food groups, including fruit. Most fruits are a good source of fiber, which actually helps control blood sugar and is necessary for digestive health. The fiber in fruit may even help lower cholesterol, high levels of which tend to go hand in hand with diabetes. Additionally, fruits contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants necessary for good general health and disease prevention. Glycemic Index and Fruit While there is little dispute regarding the benefits of fruit in a healthy diet, many find that fruits with a higher glycemic index raise blood sugars more. The glycemic index, or GI, is a numerical system that measures a food's effect on blood sugar compared to pure glucose, of which the reference point is 100."

Heathfield Updated March 12, 2018Are you interested in a general overview of the work, expectations, and contributions of a Human Resources generalist, manager, or director? Their role is extremely important in the operation of any organization that employs people. In fact, they make fundamental contributions to the organization's culture, development, and exceptional staffing. A Human Resources generalist, manager, or director plays a wide variety of roles in organizations. Depending on the size of the organization, these HR jobs may have overlapping responsibilities. In larger organizations, the HR generalist, manager, and director have clearly defined, separated roles in HR management. These roles bring progressively more authority and responsibility in the hands of the manager, then the director, and ultimately, the vice president who may lead several departments including administration. HR directors, and occasionally HR managers, may head up several different departments that are each led by functional or specialized HR staff such as the training manager, the compensation manager, or the recruiting manager. Human Resources staff members are advocates for both the company and the people who work in the company."

"text": "The HR Function’s Compliance Role Posted on May 13, 2010 by Robert Davis & Michael Carnovali 24350 0The human resources (HR) function is at the center of most employers’ efforts to identify, hire and retain the people the organization needs to execute its strategy and achieve its goals. But the HR function is a key player within the organization’s compliance structure as well. There are numerous laws and regulations governing the employment relationship that HR professionals must understand and navigate in order to help ensure their organizations avoid costly fines and other penalties, including the potential harm to the organization’s reputation. Common examples of the types of laws regulating the employer-employee relationship include: the Fair Labor Standards Act, which establishes the minimum wage and rights to overtime pay for certain workers; federal civil rights laws, which prohibit employers from considering race, gender, age, or other “protected” status when making hiring and firing decisions or otherwise setting the terms and conditions of employment; the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA),which grants certain employees the right to take up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave each year in specific circumstances, as well as the right to be restored to the same or equivalent position upon returning from such leave; and the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), which establishes certain rights and protections for employees who are called to active military duty. In many organizations, the HR function also manages the various compensation and benefit programs, which are heavily regulated as well. For private-sector organizations this means complying with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act’s (ERISA) reporting, disclosure, and fiduciary requirements, among other things. This is a task made more difficult by frequent, significant changes to ERISA and other relevant laws. The new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is only the most recent example; it establishes more than two dozen new rules relating to employer-sponsored health benefits, including several that take effect beginning with the 2011 plan year. Creating and Executing HR Compliance Clearly, human resources (HR) compliance is essential for any organization to be successful in today’s legal environment. But achieving and maintaining compliance can be elusive goals for organizations that do not recognize the challenges and develop an effective strategy to meet them."

"text": "INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF HOTEL INDUSTRYIn hotel industry the job of HR manager can be compare with the job of conductor, whose job is to instruct and direct all of the various musicians so that they can perform well together. But before a conductor can direct a beautiful performance, all of the individual musicians must be able to play their instruments well. What kind of performance could one can expect if the violinists did not know how to play their instruments or the flutists could not read music? So it is in the hospitality industry, before a manager can direct and shape employee’s individual contributions into an efficient whole, he or she must first turn employees into competent workers who know how to do their jobs. Employees are the musicians of the orchestra that the members of the audiencethe-guests-have come to watch performance. If employees are not skilled at their jobs, then the performance they give will get bad reviews. Just as an orchestra can have a fine musical score from a great composer and still perform poorly because of incompetent musicians, so a hotel can have a finest standard recipes, service procedures and quality standards and still have dissatisfied guests because of poor employee performance. That is why properly managing human resources is so important. No other industry provides so much contact between employees and customers and so many opportunities to either reinforce a positive experience or create a negative one.

The term ‘strategy’ is widely used in and presupposes importance. In the words of the Oxford Concise Dictionary, strategy means ‘generalship’. Thus, strategy is associated with the long-term decisions taken at the top of the enterprise. The original literary meaning of strategy is ‘the art and science of directing military forces’. The term strategy is frequently being used in the present-day corporate world. It envisages thinking ahead to survive and grow in a highly competitive environment’. Strategy is concerned with determining which option will provide maximum benefits. According to Jauch and Glueck.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. Business Management Articles / General Management THE STRATEGIC ROLE OF HRby Rene T. Domingo (email comments to [email protected])As people become the key competitive advantage in any industry especially banking, the human resource (HR) development function will and should play a more strategic role. It should go beyond its mere administrative support function to operations and front line departments. Whether or not company views HR strategically may decide whether market share, sales, or profits would increase or not. An effective HR strategy becomes equally decisive as the company’s marketing strategy. Technology too is changing HR roles. As industries, specifically the banking industry, and the way they compete become knowledge-based, HR performance indicators will shift from manpower and man-hours supplied to brainpower and brain hours delivered. The key result areas in people management will also shift from production and quantity to productivity and quality. Capability, measured in employee ideas generated and implemented, and productivity gained, will be more important than capacity, measured in man-hours available, man-hours lost, absenteeism, etc."

By Eric Krell Apr 1, 2011How do managers at a 15,000-employee global manufacturing company thrive within the matrix?“It requires constant education,” says Lucinda Smith, GPHR, senior vice president for human resources of AGCO Corp., a global manufacturer of agricultural equipment based in Duluth, Ga. It helps when your chief executive officer has authored a management book that promotes the benefits, and acknowledges the challenges, of matrix-style organizational structures. “Since the classical organization forms—especially the functional organizational structure—no longer satisfy modern requirements, overlapping organizational forms were developed,” AGCO CEO Martin Richenhagen writes in Simply Management (Indigo Custom Publishing, 2006). The matrixed organization develops a “double management and command structure” that provides greater visibility, stronger governance and more control in large, complex companies. A dual-reporting relationship is the defining characteristic of the matrix that AGCO’s 450 global managers work within. Dual reporting differentiates the matrix-style structures from the traditional hierarchical structures they are replacing at many companies across all industries. Executives interested in reaping the benefits of matrix-style structures need significant assistance from their human resource professionals to ensure that the approach is suitable to the organization, properly implemented and monitored on an ongoing basis. HR leaders have strong ties to many of the levers that make or break the matrix structure, says Carol Cooley, SPHR, vice president of human resources for Total Community Options, a Denver-based health care assisted-living services company. Those levers include recruiting, training, leadership development and performance management, notes Cooley, a member of the Society for Human Resource Management’s Organizational Development Special Expertise Panel. She previously worked for Wellpoint, a matrixed Fortune 50 health care company."

Human Resources Software is used by businesses to combine a number of necessary HR functions, such as storing employee data, managing payrolls, recruitment processes, benefits administration and keeping track of attendance records. It ensures everyday Human Resources processes are manageable and easy to access. [ 1] It merges human resources as a discipline and, in particular, its basic HR activities and processes with the information technology field, whereas the programming of data processing systems evolved into standardized routines and packages of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. On the whole, these ERP systems have their origin from software that integrates information from different applications into one universal database. The linkage of its financial and human resource modules through one database is the most important distinction to the individually and proprietarily developed predecessors, which makes this software application both rigid and flexible. Human Resource Information Systems provide a means of acquiring, storing, analyzing and distributing information to various stakeholders. [ 2] HRIS enable improvement in traditional processes and enhance strategic decision-making.

Early systems were narrow in scope, typically focused on a single task, such as improving the payroll process or tracking employees' work hours."

By weight, proteins are collectively the major component of the dry weight of cells and are involved in virtually all cell functions. Each protein within the body has a specific function, from cellular support to cell signaling and cellular locomotion. In total, there are seven types of proteins, including antibodies, enzymes, and some types of hormones, such as insulin. While proteins have many diverse functions, all are typically constructed from one set of 20 amino acids. The structure of a protein may be globular or fibrous, and the design helps each protein with their particular function. In all, proteins are absolutely fascinating and a complex subject. Let's explore the basics of these essential molecules and discover what they do for us. Antibodies Antibodies are specialized proteins involved in defending the body from antigens (foreign invaders).

All macronutrients are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes other elements. As potential calorie sources, they can be oxidized to produce ATP, the body’s energy currency. Mostly, though, the macronutrients differ with regard to individual functions and properties.

Recall that carbon atoms have four electrons in their valence shell, and that the octet rule dictates that atoms tend to react in such a way as to complete their valence shell with eight electrons. Carbon atoms do not complete their valence shells by donating or accepting four electrons. Instead, they readily share electrons via covalent bonds.

To start, the basic definition of protein is that proteins are long chain molecules made up of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in your body and is the principal constituent of the protoplasm in every cell of your body. That said, there is not just one kind of protein, but many kinds in the human body, each with a different function. For example, different proteins can: Provide structure, as found in ligaments, fingernails, and hair Aid in digestion in the form of digestive enzymes Play a role in immunity in the form of immunoglobulins Aid in building muscles Tell your body what to do and when, as seen in peptide hormones Transport oxygen as hemoglobin And even play a role in our ability to see. The lens of the eye is pure crystallin protein. How The Body Utilizes Protein To Build Muscles Interestingly enough, your body does not actually utilize protein directly when you eat it. When you consume protein, for the most part, the body breaks it down into its constituent amino acids, absorbs those amino acids through the intestinal tract, and then using genetic instructions encoded in your body, reassembles them into the proteins it needs to perform all its functions. For example, it takes dairy protein you eat, breaks it down in the digestive tract into its constituent amino acids, absorbs those amino acids, and then reassembles them into muscle protein to help you build muscle."

Author of \"\"Introducing Epigenetics\"\" and Adriana Heguy, Professor of Pathology at NYU Langone Medical Center · Author has 417 answers and 1.9m answer views A great question, and one that really gets to the heart of several main principles in molecular biology and biochemistry. Every cell in the human body shares a common starting point: a fertilized egg. As a result, all of our cells theoretically contain the same DNA — ignoring specific cell types, such as erythrocytes and gametes, and the cumulative effects of DNA changes through mutation and telomere shortening. Despite this, each cell is unique, with one cell type completely dissimilar to another, not to mention being totally different to the original fertilized egg. Why? The reason is that each cell — whether a neuron, skin cell, or a photoreceptor cell — uses the genes that it has differently. All cells have the same set of genes (~20,000 in humans) but it is up to the individual cell whether each gene is turned on or off. What is a gene? For the purpose of the discussion here, it can roughly described as a region of DNA that can undergo transcription to produce a corresponding m RNA intermediate, which can then be translated into a specific protein molecule."

Crosslinks yielding globular forms of protein are ofteneffected through the -SH groups of two l -cysteinyl residues, as well as by noncovalent forces (hydrogen bonds, lipophilic attractions, etc.). [ G. prōtos, first, + -in]Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary © Farlex 2012protein/pro·tein/ ( pro´tēn) any of a group of complex organic compounds containing carbon,hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Proteins, the principal constituents of the protoplasm of allcells, are of high molecular weight and consist of α-amino acids joined by peptide linkages. Twentydifferent amino acids are commonly found in proteins, each protein having a unique, geneticallydefined amino acid sequence that determines its specific shape and function. Their roles includeenzymatic catalysis, transport and storage, coordinated motion, nerve impulse generation andtransmission, control of growth and differentiation, immunity, and mechanical suppport."

IBs are discarded from further processing or are eventually used as a pure protein source for in vitro refolding. Although usually considered as waste byproducts of protein production, recent insights into the physiology of recombinant bacteria and the molecular architecture of IBs have revealed that these protein particles are unexpected functional materials. In this Opinion article, we present the relevant mechanical properties of IBs and discuss the ways in which they can be explored as biocompatible nanostructured materials, mainly, but not exclusively, in biocatalysis and tissue engineering. Previous article Next article Biology of bacterial inclusion bodies Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are protein aggregates that have been commonly observed in recombinant Escherichia coli since the implementation of recombinant DNA technologies. IBs were rapidly recognized as the major bottleneck in recombinant protein production and were assumed to be formed by unfolded or highly misfolded polypeptides that failed to reach their native conformation [1]. Solubility has been considered the main macroscopic signal of successful protein conformation and functional quality at the molecular level [2]. For instance, many recombinant proteins have been produced only (or almost only) as IBs and consequently discarded before further use. Thus, in biomedical research, among the wide spectrum of proteins identified as potential drugs, only a very limited fraction are actually produced, approved for use and marketed. In this context, a significant number of the therapeutic proteins in use have been obtained in yeasts or mammalian cells instead of E. coli. These systems allow post-translational modifications that are absent in bacteria and overcome massive aggregation [3]. Protein aggregation in bacteria has contributed to lower than expected success for recombinant DNA technologies because the yield of functional, soluble and stable polypeptides is often not cost-effective enough for industrial production. Even laboratory-scale production of many specific products for research purposes has a protein insolubility bottleneck."

In this article, Jim Quigley explained that proteins that have biological activity can be referred to as functional proteins. Immunoglobulins found in colostrum are an example of beneficial functional proteins. “Our traditional concept of protein digestion has changed,” Quigley wrote. “ We now recognize that proteins in the intestine can retain their functional characteristics and affect the animal – either positively or negatively. ”Incorporating functional proteins when feeding milk-fed calves, either through colostrum or through plasma proteins, can enhance calves’ immunity. Quigley said, “… the addition of functional proteins to the diet can reduce disease, reduce the use of antibiotics and improve profitability of the overall operation."

Answer by Wang Yinghao Confidence votes 36Protein is essential for humans. That means that we can't do without it in our food and in our bodies, in part because of the nitrogen it contains nitrogen is responsible for growth and repair of the cells and in part because of the particular building blocks that make up protein. Protein is made up of twenty different building blocks, called amino acids, arranged in thousands and thousands of different ways. Every cell in the human body contains protein as part of its structure (cell membrane and other structures). It also serves to build strong structures in the body, as a whole (bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments); it makes up the compounds that your body used to make the biochemical reactions occur in your body, called enzymes; it is found in your blood as parts of the red blood cells (hemoglobin) and as carriers for other materials (transport proteins); and it is part of the immune system (antibodies) that helps protect your body from foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxic substances.

"text": "Protein and Muscle Growth For Exercise Enthusiast and Athletes There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the amount of protein needed to build muscle mass. What builds muscle? True muscle growth; hypertrophy, the enlargement of actual muscle cells and hyperplasia; the growth in the number of muscle cells, are the result of the stress load on muscle fibers from exercise or strenuous work, which initiates the uptake of amino acids in the form of proteins. Excess amino acids (proteins) are burned as fuel or metabolized into fat. Only so much muscle protein synthesis (MPS) can occur. You can’t force feed muscle cells. The first 3 hours after a workout is the time when the majority of MPS will take place. Guidance from non-nutrition professionals, based on non scientific results can cause potential harm to those that follow such advice. It is really amazing how many articles I have read from bodybuilding sources that say a person should consume between 2 to 4 grams of protein for every kg of body weight, or that a person should consume 1 to 1 ½ grams of protein per pound of body weight. That would mean a 200 pound man would need to consume between 200 grams and 363 grams of protein daily."

For example, copepods and other small water crustaceans that are present in many water bodies can be monitored for changes (biochemical, physiological, or behavioural) that may indicate a problem within their ecosystem. Bioindicators can tell us about the cumulative effects of different pollutants in the ecosystem and about how long a problem may have been present, which physical and chemical testing cannot.

A biological indicator is also the name given to a process for assessing the sterility of an environment through the use of resistant microorganism strains (eg. Bacillus or Geobacillus ). [ 4] Biological indicators can be described as the introduction of a highly resistant microorganisms to a given environment before sterilization, tests are conducted to measure the effectiveness of the sterilization processes.

A food chain is a simple linkage of producers to consumers through feeding relationships. For example, when a small fish eats an aquatic insect, and a larger fish eats the small fish, the two fish and the insect are linked in a food chain. Food webs are more complex, and consist of a network of linked food chains. Organisms commonly consume, and are consumed by, more than one other type of organism. Each organism has characteristic feeding preferences and patterns, and can itself be prey to other consumers. Food webs connect autotrophs, at the lowest feeding level, to the herbivores (primary consumers) and then to various carnivores (secondary consumers). A simplified view of a food web in a wooded stream is presented on the right. The concept of food webs is also demonstrated in the Food Web interactive feature .

"text": "Abstract Many heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms belong to the monophyletic kingdom Fungi. Because of their stationary life style, fungi reproduce by forming spores, cells that are specialised for dispersal to new locations by air, water or animals. Flagellated zoospores are produced by simple aquatic fungi. Most fungi are terrestrial, growing as hyphae and producing thick‐walled nonmotile spores. Asexual spores include sporangiospores and conidia, whereas sexual spores include zygospores, ascospores and basidiospores. Ascospores and basidiospores often are forcibly ejected into the air. Sporulation requires favourable nutritional and environmental conditions such as light and temperature, and involves cellular signalling and metabolic responses. As spores mature, their walls thicken, energy reserves such as lipid are acccumulated, and their metabolism decreases as they prepare for dormancy. Mature spores may undergo either exogenous or constitutive dormancy before germination. Upon germination, metabolic acitivity increases and a germ tube emerges from the spore."

Epiphytes take part in nutrient cycles and add to both the diversity and biomass of the ecosystem in which they occur like any other organism. They are an important source of food for many species. Typical, the older parts of a plant will have more epiphytes growing on them. Epiphytes differ from parasites in that epiphytes grow on other plants for physical support and do not necessarily negatively affect the host. An epiphytic organism that is not a plant is sometimes called an epibiont. [ 1] Epiphytes are usually found in the temperate zone (e.g., many mosses, liverworts, lichens, and algae) or in the tropics (e.g., many ferns, cacti, orchids, and bromeliads ). [ 2] Epiphyte species make good houseplants due to their minimal water and soil requirements. [ 3] Epiphytes provide a rich and diverse habitat for other organisms including animals, fungi, bacteria, and myxomycetes. [ 4]Epiphyte is one of the subdivisions of the Raunkiær system."

But nature, of course, knows no national boundaries, and therefore the natural divisions of the planet are quite different from those agreed upon by humans. While continents are a useful concept to geographers and earth scientists, in the worlds of biology, ecology, and biogeography, the concept of a biome makes much more sense. There are more than a dozen basic terrestrial and aquatic biomes or ecosystems, including boreal coniferous forests, deserts, tundra, and underwater environments. Each is a distinct \"\"world\"\" unto itself, with characteristic forms of plant life as well as animal species that congregate around the plants for food or shelter or both. Combined with these features of the biological community are aspects of the inorganic realm that likewise define a biome, for instance, climate and the availability of water. HOW IT WORKSEcosystems, Biomes, and Biological Communities An ecosystem is a community of interdependent organisms along with the inorganic components of their environment, including water, soil, and air. Earth is the largest ecosystem, divided into biomes, large areas with similar climate and vegetation. A biome is a large ecosystem, extending over a wide geographic region, characterized by certain dominant life-forms — most notably, trees or the lack thereof. There are two basic varieties of biome: terrestrial, or land-based (of which there are six), and aquatic."

An informal grouping of primitive, mainly aquatic plants that possesses chlorophyll a as their primary photosynthetic pigment and can manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Plant body (thallus) do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple reproductive structures. They never produce multicellular embryos inside the female reproductive organ. There are unicellular (e.g. planktons) and multicellular (e.g. seaweeds) algae found in freshwater (e.g. lakes and rivers), marine (e.g. sea) and terrestrial (e.g. moist pavements) habitats. < The study of algae is termed phycology or algology, and one who studies algae is known as a phycologist. Classification of algae :- Algae belong to Domain-Eukarya and Kingdom - Protista (Protoctista). In 1959 American biologist R. H. Whittaker described a classification system of five primary kingdoms: plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Because the Protista are so diverse in form, classification within the kingdom has proved difficult. The classification of the Protista is currently based largely on the structure and organization of the cell, the presence of organelles, and the pattern of reproduction or life cycles."

Common fungi include mushrooms, conks, corals, jellies, puffballs, stinkhorns, morels, cups, truffles, lichens, yeasts, rusts, smuts, bread molds, mildews, and molds on bathroom tiles. In 1959, R. H. Whittaker introduced a five-kingdom taxonomy that granted fungi equal status with plants and animals. The five-kingdom system has been supplanted by a multiple-kingdom classification, and species traditionally treated as fungi are now distributed across several kingdoms. Those believed to form a monophyletic lineage are assigned to kingdom Eumycota (often called kingdom Fungi). Mycology, the science devoted to fungi, still covers all traditional fungi. Characteristics of Fungi The Eumycota consist of eukaryotic, nonchlorophyllous heterotrophs that absorb nutrients from dead or living organic matter, have cell walls composed of chitin , and store excess energy as glycogen . The kingdom contains four phyla: Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. All true fungi have a definite cell wall throughout all developmental stages. Fungal cell walls are composed of chitin, the compound also found in arthropod exoskeletons (for example, lobster shells)."

They are heterotrophic and digest their food externally, absorbing nutrient molecules into their cells. Yeasts, molds, and mushrooms are examples of fungi. The branch of biology involving the study of fungi is known as mycology. Fungi often have important symbiotic relationships with other organisms. Mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and fungi is particularly important; over 90% of all plant species engage in some kind of mycorrhizal relationship with fungi and are dependent upon this relationship for survival. Fungi are also used extensively by humans: yeasts are responsible for fermentation of beer and bread, and mushroom farming and gathering is a large industry in many countries. Fungi and bacteria are the primary decomposers of organic matter in most terrestrial ecosystems. Fungi were originally classified as plants, however they have since been separated as they are heterotrophs. This means they do not fix their own carbon through photosynthesis, but use carbon fixed by other organisms for metabolism."

Thanks to advancements in technology and the invention of the microscope, the system of classifications now consists of six kingdoms: protista, animilia, archaebacteria, plantae, eubacteria and fungi . The organisms on earth all reside in different habitats from very acidic environments to terrestrial environments. Protista Habitat All microscopic organisms not belonging to one of the other five kingdoms is part of the protista family. This includes euglena, plasmodium and ameoba. These organisms are aquatic, and are found in both fresh water and salt water including oceans, lakes, ponds, creeks and any other body of water. Animalia Habitat The animalia kingdom is the largest kingdom, consisting of over one million species. Sponge, plankton, insects, arachnids, humans and whales among other animals are creatures of this kingdom and reside virtually everywhere.

The name Carboniferous means \"\"coal-bearing\"\" and derives from the Latin words carbō (\"\" coal \"\") and ferō (\"\"I bear, I carry\"\"), and was coined by geologists William Conybeare and William Phillips in 1822. [ 6]Based on a study of the British rock succession, it was the first of the modern 'system' names to be employed, and reflects the fact that many coal beds were formed globally during that time. [ 7] The Carboniferous is often treated in North America as two geological periods, the earlier Mississippian and the later Pennsylvanian. [ 8] Terrestrial animal life was well established by the Carboniferous period. [ 9] Amphibians were the dominant land vertebrates, of which one branch would eventually evolve into amniotes, the first solely terrestrial vertebrates. Arthropods were also very common, and many (such as Meganeura) were much larger than those of today. Vast swaths of forest covered the land, which would eventually be laid down and become the coal beds characteristic of the Carboniferous stratigraphy evident today. The atmospheric content of oxygen also reached their highest levels in geological history during the period, 35% [10] compared with 21% today, allowing terrestrial invertebrates to evolve to great size.

"text": "\"Difference between Hyphae and Pseudohyphae Posted on May 20, 2014 by Yash Last updated on: May 20, 2014Hyphae vs Pseudohyphae Hyphae and pseudohyphae (singular – hypha and pseudohypha) are two types of filaments that compose vegetative structures found in fungi. All the fungi except few (ex: yeast) form either hyphae or pseudohyphae. Both structures support spores for reproduction and dissemination by exhibiting various physiological and biochemical activities. These two structures along with yeast form are characteristic features of polymorphic fungi. What are Hyphae? Hyphae are defined as elongated, tubular, and branching filaments that form the mycelium (vegetative part of a fungus consisting of numerous filaments) of a fungus. A single hypha consists of one or more elongated tubular cells. Multicellular hyphae are internally divided by cross walls, septa (singular – septum) displaying a chain of closely packed cells. Hyphae with septa are called as septate hyphae and, on the other hand, hyphae without septa are called as aseptate hyphae. Fungi are classified according to above two characters which are based on cell division."

"text": "The Six Kingdoms by Veritas Prep There are countless organisms in the world and the scientific classification system was put in place to group together species that share common characteristics. This classification system is rooted in the work of Carolus Linnaeus, who is known as the father of modern taxonomy. The scientific classification system in biology consists of seven different groups or rankings. These rankings include kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. When talking about scientific classification, one will notice that all of the scientific names and terms are written in Latin. The idea to use Latin belonged to Carolus Linnaeus, and the thought was that Latin terms would mean the same thing to scientists all around the world whereas common names are different in different languages and would cause confusion. This article will focus in the kingdom section of the scientific classification system. There are six kingdoms including plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaebacteria, and eubacteria. Animal Kingdom The animal kingdom (Animalia in Latin) is the largest of all of the six kingdoms and is made up or more than one million species. Members of the animal kingdom are characterized by their ability to obtain energy from eating food."

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

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In biological taxonomy, a kingdom or regnum is a taxon in either (historically) the highest rank, or (in the new three-domain system) the rank below domain. Each kingdom is divided into smaller groups called phyla (or in some contexts these are called \"\"divisions\"\"). Currently, textbooks from the United States use a system of six kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protoctista, Archaea, and Monera), while British and Australian textbooks describe five kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Bacteria). Carolus Linnaeus distinguished two kingdoms of living things: Animalia for animals and Vegetabilia for plants (Linnaeus also treated minerals, placing them in a third kingdom, Mineralia). Linnaeus divided each kingdom into classes, later grouped into phyla for animals and divisions for plants. When single-celled organisms were first discovered, they were split between the two kingdoms: mobile forms in the animal phylum Protozoa, and colored algae and bacteria in the plant division Thallophyta or Protophyta. However, a number of forms were hard to place, or were placed in different kingdoms by different authors: for example, the mobile alga Euglena and the amoeba-like slime moulds. As a result, Ernst Haeckel suggested creating a third kingdom Protista for them. ["

They are not unicellular all the time, but they form colonies in one stage of their development. Some unicellular species that occasionally form clonal colonies evolved into multicellular organisms. The multicellular bodies are homologous to these clonal colonies. A clonal colony is a population of diploid cells that have identical genomes. Sometimes, the cells in a clonal colony don’t even stick together. However, they often do. Evolution treats the clonal organism as basically one organism because the cells are genetically indistinguishable. So a de novo mutation in a cell can create an allele that when expressed helps other cells in the colony survive even though it kills the cell where the allele is expressed. The genes in each cell basically leverage with genes in other cells to help make more copies of each gene."

"text": "\"Difference Between Yeast and Fungi Posted on March 27, 2013 by admin Yeast vs Fungi The group fungi include unicellular and multicellular organisms that are found almost all parts of the world. They show both asexual and sexual reproduction methods. Recent studies show that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants according to their existing DNA and protein sequences. All the fungi are heterotrophs and depend upon other organisms, to gain food and nutrients. Basically, the group fungi include moulds, the organisms with filamentous multicellular bodies, and yeasts, the organisms with rounded unicellular bodies. Many fungi species and certain yeasts species cause fungal infections in humans. Yeast Yeasts are considered as unicellular group of fungi due to the similar characteristic features found in other fungi species. Yeast is a very popular fungus, which is used commercially to ferment alcohol and produce bakery products. They can convert carbohydrates into alcohols and CO2 during their energy gaining process under anaerobic conditions. Alcohol is used in the brewing industry, whereas CO2 is used in the baking industry."

Answered Jun 11, 2015 · Author has 105 answers and 304.5k answer views This is actually a really good question. A lot of people tend to get worried about the state of individuality of cells that live in colonies, like Volvox, which can form colonies of up to 50,000 cells. A unicellular organism is one which does not depend on other organisms for its survival even partially, and performs all basic functions of life on its own. In the case of Volvox, each cell performs all the basic functions of life on its own, i.e., it reproduces, feeds, respires and excretes on its own. However, they are present in aggregates. As a result, Volvox is said to be unicellular. In this manner, we are able to classify all organisms as unicellular or multicellular. Well, almost all. There are some organisms that are partially unicellular and partially multicellular, like Dictyostelium discoideum."

Ecologically this kingdom is important (along with certain bacteria) as decomposers and recyclers of nutrients. Economically, the Fungi provide us with food (mushrooms; Bleu cheese/Roquefort cheese; baking and brewing), antibiotics (the first of the wonder drugs, penicillin, was isolated from the fungus Penicillium ), and crop parasites (doing several million dollars per year of damage).

An informal grouping of primitive, mainly aquatic plants that possesses chlorophyll a as their primary photosynthetic pigment and can manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Plant body (thallus) do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple reproductive structures. They never produce multicellular embryos inside the female reproductive organ. There are unicellular (e.g. planktons) and multicellular (e.g. seaweeds) algae found in freshwater (e.g. lakes and rivers), marine (e.g. sea) and terrestrial (e.g. moist pavements) habitats. The study of algae is termed phycology or algology, and one who studies algae is known as a phycologist. Classification of algae :- Algae belong to Domain-Eukarya and Kingdom - Protista (Protoctista). In 1959 American biologist R. H. Whittaker described a classification system of five primary kingdoms: plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Because the Protista are so diverse in form, classification within the kingdom has proved difficult. The classification of the Protista is currently based largely on the structure and organization of the cell, the presence of organelles, and the pattern of reproduction or life cycles."

Check out our tips. By Peggy Anne Montgomery2 did it Pin Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Print Insects play an incredibly important role in our ecosystem; that being said, there's a place for them, and that place is outdoors. Fungus gnats are not at all harmful to people or pets. However, when you begin to find them swarming plants in the house or greenhouse, it's time to get rid of the fungus gnats. First things first, make sure fungus gnats are the real culprit; they are often confused with fruit flies. Fungus gnats look like small mosquitoes just 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch long. They are weak fliers so they tend to remain stationary, and they are often discovered by flying up when disturbed from resting on the soil surface of houseplants, compost piles, or wet bags of soil. Adult females lay up to 300 eggs in moist organic debris or potting soil. In three or four days the tiny larva appear with dark heads and whitish bodies."

"text": "Home »Produce How to Treat Plants with Black Sooty Mold By Sarah Terry; Updated September 21, 2017Sooty black mold is a fungus that can appear on the surface of plant leaves, stems, twigs, branches and even fruits. The fungus does not harm or feed off the plants, but instead gets its nourishment from honeydew. Honeydew is a sticky, sweet substance that certain insects secrete. When sooty mold spores are carried by the wind and land in the honeydew, the fungus feeds on the honeydew and grows, covering the plants and causing a charcoal-like sooty coating of mold. When your plants have black sooty mold, your real problem is caused by the insects, such as aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs and scale. You can apply all the fungicide you want to your infected plants, but if you don’t get rid of these insects, you can’t eradicate the sooty mold. Identify the bugs involved in your sooty mold infestation. Aphids, mealybugs and whiteflies all cause black sooty mold. Aphids are tiny round bugs that can be black, brown, green, yellow or red. Mealybugs are also tiny, but the females are covered in a cottony wax and the males often look like gnats."

Gnats are also known as vinegar flies or fruit flies because of their attraction to the smell of rotten food. This explains why they particularly enjoy the areas around drains and trash cans. Gnats are most commonly found around fruit, saturated house plants, compost piles, and other rotting, smelly food or plants. The problem is there's no such thing as one gnat. In fact, one gnat can lay two to three hundred eggs in its two to four month life span. If you frequently see gnats hovering around your sink drain or trash can, there's a good chance they're laying eggs inside your home. If you don't want gnats around, you have to cut off their food supply. This means fruits and vegetables have to go in the refrigerator or a bin the bugs can't penetrate."

Here are some things to know about growing marijuana in soil…Other than just planting your marijuana plants directly into the ground, you have two basic choices when it comes to what soil you use to grow marijuana: “build” soil yourself using the supersoil method or some other soil recipe, or buy commercial soil. Building soil for growing your own soil (using the supersoil method or other methods) is a complex, long-term process. First, you spend money on guano, earthworm castings, green sand, dolomite, rock phosphate, bone meal, etc. It’s hard to get clean, well-processed soil components. You’re at the mercy of the suppliers. If you get inferior source materials, it makes your soil bad…but you won’t discover it’s bad until your marijuana plants are in the soil and suffering.

"text": "How to Get Rid of Fungus Gnats What They Look Like Fungus gnats look like tiny, black flies with grayish transparent wings. The adults are about 1/16-in (.2 cm) long and have long legs and antennae. Being so small, they can enter a home through the tiniest of openings. They sometimes arrive in a newly purchased bag of potting soil. They're more of an annoyance than anything. They are harmless to humans, and unlike many house plant pests, the adultgnats don't feed on plants. They're attracted to moist organic matter such as peat moss and fir bark in many potting mixes, and overwatered plants will draw them...well, like flies. Now you're wondering... why treat my plants? The fungus gnat life cycle is quick and they may take over your whole plant collection if left untreated. Most of these insects are females that will lay 100-300 eggs in crevices of the soil."

Photo Credit: ©2002 Buglady Consulting Fungus gnat larvae feed on highly organic soils and can damage plant roots. Photo Credit: ©2006 Buglady Consulting What do fungus gnats look like? They are small, grayish to black flies that are 2 ½ millimeters long and resemble tiny mosquitoes (minus the bloodsucking). Their legs are long and slender, and their skinny antennae are usually longer than their heads. Their wings are shades of gray. Fungus gnats are relatively weak fliers and generally remain near potted plants, often running or resting on soil or leaves. What kind of damage do fungus gnats do?"

"text": "Gnats can get into home and reproduce fast By Richard Fagerlund / Ask the Bugman Wednesday, August 27th, 2014 at 5:54pm Richard Fagerlund. What is a gnat? Basically gnats are very small flies that belong to several species. There are several types of “gnats” that will get into homes. Fruit flies (Drosophilidae)ADVERTISEMENTFruit flies are usually found in the kitchen, where they feed and breed on food spilled in out-of-the-way places such as behind or under appliances. These small flies have distinctive red eyes, which you can see with a hand lens. They are tan or brown in color and about 1/8-inch long. They are also known as pomace flies and vinegar flies. They can be serious pests in food-handling establishments as they breed in and feed on fruits, vegetables and any moist, decaying organic material. They have been known to cause intestinal problems and diarrhea when fruit containing their larvae is eaten."

"text": "\"How to Get Rid of Gnats: The Mosquito Barrier Guide Gnats are often times called fruit flies or vinegar flies. Regardless of what you call them, gnats are a down-right annoying insect that always seems to appear by the thousands every summer. You will most commonly see male gnats in swarms known as \"\"ghosts\"\" or \"\"clouds\"\" right around sundown, and it can be quite a nuisance to have a few of these ghosts hovering around your back yard during a barbecue or, even worse, inside your home. If you want to know how to get rid of gnats, then you are going to have to understand how they are born and what exactly brings them about. With most gnats, especially fungus gnats, moisture is required in order for them to come about at all, and their larvae are often times born in the stagnant water. Sometimes the source of moisture is something simple to fix like a clogged drain or an old bucket in the backyard that has collected some rainwater, but often times it is something much harder to find like an over-watered patch of grass or slight leak underneath your home. It is important to find and eliminate any and all standing water around your house, but it only takes a dozen or so female gnats to produce thousands of additional eggs in the time that it would take you to patrol the area for damp ground and leaky pipes. Using the Mosquito Barrier product, you simply have to spray the dirt and grass directly underneath the gnat clouds to kill all of their eggs. This is usually a 10 foot area of grass, and you probably don't need to spray your entire lawn if your only concern is gnats, although a regular spraying of your property as per our instructions can also keep mosquitoes, fleas and ticks out all summer long. When using Mosquito Barrier outdoors, it is important that you wait until the ground is dry before spraying."

This process is called aerial spraying. Below is more information on aerial spraying. Aerial Spraying and Mosquito Control Is aerial spraying an effective tool for killing mosquitoes? Aerial treatment of areas with products that rapidly reduce both adult mosquitoes and their larvae that may carry viruses can be effective. Repeated aerial applications of insecticide has reduced mosquito populations as a part of an integrated mosquito management program. Is aerial spraying alone the best way to control mosquitoes? Aerial spraying is only one part of the solution for controlling mosquitoes, but it is the one method that can rapidly reduce the number of mosquitoes spreading a virus in a large area. It is the most effective method when large areas must be treated quickly. Aerial spraying is used as part of an integrated mosquito control program to quickly reduce the number of mosquitoes responsible for infecting people with viruses like West Nile, Zika, dengue, or chikungunya."

The first signs of a cannabis boron deficiency is abnormal or thick growth tips along with brown or yellow spotting on new leaves. With a boron deficiency, upper cannabis leaves display abnormal and/or slowed growth. Growing tips may not grow properly, may display twisted growth, and may die off. New leaves may wrinkle or curl.

Beagle The Young Naturalist Spent Five Years on a Royal Navy Research Ship Share Flipboard Email Print HMS Beagle, which carried Charles Darwin around the world. SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY /Getty Imagesby Robert Mc Namara Updated March 20, 2018Charles Darwin’s five-year voyage in the early 1830s on H. M. S. Beagle has become legendary, as insights gained by the bright young scientist on his trip to exotic places greatly influenced his masterwork, the book \"\" On the Origin of Species . \"\" Darwin didn’t actually formulate his theory of evolution while sailing around the world aboard the Royal Navy ship. But the exotic plants and animals he encountered challenged his thinking and led him to consider scientific evidence in new ways. After returning to England from his five years at sea, Darwin began writing a multi-volume book on what he had seen. His writings on the Beagle voyage concluded in 1843, a full decade and a half before the publication of \"\"On the Origin of Species. \"\" The History of H. M. S. Beagle H. M. S. Beagle is remembered today because of its association with Charles Darwin, but it had sailed on a lengthy scientific mission several years before Darwin came into the picture. The Beagle, a warship carrying ten cannons, sailed in 1826 to explore the coastline of South America. The ship had an unfortunate episode when its captain sank into a depression, perhaps caused by the isolation of the voyage, and committed suicide. Lieutenant Robert Fitz Roy assumed command of the Beagle, continued the voyage, and returned the ship safely to England in 1830."

The islands are quite remote and isolated, lying some 1000 km (620 miles) west of the South American continent. The Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 main islands and 6 smaller islets, which together embrace some 50,000 sq km (19,500 sq miles) of ocean.

The islands are therefore very popular amongst natural historians, both professional and amateur. Giant tortoises, sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas and different bird species can all be seen and approached. The landscape of the islands is relatively barren and volcanic, but beautiful nonetheless. The highest mountain amongst the islands is Volcán Wolf on Isla Isabela, 1707 m (5600ft) high. The Galápagos were claimed by newly-independent Ecuador in 1832, a mere three years before Darwin's visit on the Beagle."

Galapagos Flora Although many species of flora and fauna that thrive on the Galapagos Islands resemble those native to South America, they have evolved so extensively in isolation that they now appear very different from their mainland ancestors. The plant life of Galapagos is just as extraordinary as its wildlife, although it receives less attention and publicity. There are 560 native species of plants in the islands, in other words, plants which arrived in the islands by natural means. Of these, 180 are endemic to the islands, meaning they are found nowhere else on earth. For example, Galapagos has its very own, endemic species of cotton, pepper, guava, passion flower and tomato. Not only that but many species are so different from others elsewhere that they are grouped in their own endemic genera. These include Scalesia, the endemic ‘daisy tree’, which has evolved into a whole host of different species in a direct botanical parallel of the Darwin’s finches. Other endemic genera in the daisy family are Darwin’s aster Darwiniothamnus, the cut-leaf daisy Lecocarpus and needle-leaf daisy Macraea.

While there are still iguanas throughout the Islands, they have become extinct on several islands and are on the endangered species list. At first glimpse, you might find these reptiles to be a bit ugly, even repulsive and scary; you wouldn’t want to face down one of these in a dark alley! But, a second look will probably change your mind. In fact, at second blush, it seems that many of these lizards are smiling. Take a look at this one from Sante Fe Island, for example: You Have to Love Him!Land Iguanas Land iguanas still can be found on Isabela, Santa Cruz, Fernandina, Seymour, South Plaza and Sante Fe Islands. The land iguana is a yellowish lizard and generally larger in size than the marine iguana. It has a very tough, leathery mouth; thus is it able to feed on the prickly pear cactus, its primary food source."

This group of islands is also known for the natural beauty and the presence of these rare species that make things so attractive and worth experiencing. Have you heard of how the islands have inspired the famous scientist Charles Darwin to put forth his Theory of Evolution? This group of islands holds the best example of evolution of various species. With many species that are found only over these islands and many others that are yet to be discovered, the islands can be considered to be a place that is home to all the natural treasure of the earth. The Galapagos Islands are famous for every unique species that is found over them. Every tiny being or a giant animal or bird present on these islands has some features that have been adopted according to the habitat they live in. One such bird is the Galapagos Finches that have been found across many islands here. These Finches are also known as the Darwin’s Finches as they are considered to be one of the species that inspired the scientist Charles Darwin. We all know that it is the wind that plays the role of transferring seeds and flowers around the place that gives rise to a new tree."

The first confirmed visitors to the Islands were the Spanish exploring their newly-conquered territories. Bishop Tomás de Berlanga washed up there in 1535 en route from Panama to Peru. The Bishop and his shipmates were not impressed. He said the islands were worthless and barren.

Darwin's research in Galapagos led to the groundbreaking theory of The Origin of Species. In 1978 UNESCO designated Galapagos as the first World Heritage site. The movie Captain and Commander was filmed on the islands of Bartholomew and Santiago. The name 'galapagos', an old Spanish word for 'saddle', was originally used by Bishop Tomas and his crew to describe the giant tortoises but the name stuck.

Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. In this lesson, you will learn about bile and its role in the breakdown of dietary fats. You will also learn how the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin help regulate these organs. Digestion We previously learned that the first section of the small intestine, called the duodenum, receives enzyme-rich secretions that help digest food. Your pancreas is one of the organs that secretes enzymes into the duodenum. The enzymes found in pancreatic juice break down all of the major nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins and fats. However, the pancreas needs a little help from the liver and gallbladder when it comes to breaking down fats. In this lesson, you will learn about the secretions of the liver and gallbladder and how these accessory digestive organs work together to break down the foods you eat. Liver The liver is essentially a very large gland."

It is shaped like a flat pear and is surrounded by the stomach, small intestine, liver, spleen and gallbladder. The wide end of the pancreas on the right side of the body is called the head. The middle sections are the neck and body. The thin end of the pancreas on the left side of the body is called the tail. The uncinate process is the part of the gland that bends backwards and underneath the head of the pancreas. Two very important blood vessels, the superior mesenteric artery and superior mesenteric vein, cross behind the neck of the pancreas and in front of the uncinate process. The pancreas is both an exocrine gland and endocrine gland and has two main functions – digestion and blood sugar regulation. The Pancreas and Digestion Exocrine cells of the pancreas produce enzymes that help with digestion. When food enters the stomach, exocrine cells release the pancreatic enzymes into a system of small ducts that lead to the main pancreatic duct."

In humans, the pear-shaped gallbladder lies beneath the liver, although the structure and position of the gallbladder can vary significantly among animal species. It receives and stores bile, produced by the liver, via the common hepatic duct, and releases it via the common bile duct into the duodenum, where the bile helps in the digestion of fats. The gallbladder can be affected by gallstones, formed by material that cannot be dissolved – usually cholesterol or bilirubin, a product of haemoglobin breakdown. These may cause significant pain, particularly in the upper-right corner of the abdomen, and are often treated with removal of the gallbladder called a cholecystectomy.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Digestive System Gallbladders and Bile Which organ stores bile? Flag Which organ stores bile? Answer by Rowball Confidence votes 56The gallbladder is the sac-like structure under the liver that stores about 30-50 ml of bile. The liver produces bile, and the gallbladder stores it. From there it is excreted, travels down the bile duct, where it passes through the pancreas, which produces lipase (which does break down fat), before it goes into your small intestine. The gallbladder releases bile into the duodenum, part of the small intestine, to aid in the digestion of fats. Bile emulsifies the fats, or breaks them into smaller particles, to assist in their digestion. If the bile salts crystallize, you get gallstones. The gallbladder will release bile only under the influence of cholecystokinin. When the chyme (food leaving the stomach after processing) passes through the plyoric sphincter (valve muscle connecting the doudenum to the pylorus (bottom part of stomach), this hormone is released, and the bile is released into the doudenum through a series of ducts that also lead from the pancreas, so the enzymes for further digestion can enter as well."

The digestive system is a group of organs that work together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients that feed the entire body; it’s the foundation of good health . This amazing system includes a combination of nerves, hormones, bacteria, blood and the organs of the digestive system that work together to complete the intricate task of digesting the foods and liquids that we consume every day. The digestive system interacts with all other body systems — this includes the nervous, endocrine and immune system. Did you know that digestion actually begins in the brain? The hypothalamus, which is involved in metabolic processes, stimulates appetite. When you eat, your brain decides how you will digest that food – it will respond with stress or ease, depending on the health of your organs and your state of mind.

"text": "How Can I Tell I Have Gallstones In My Liver? By: Andreas Moritz Posted: December 8, 2011 — updated 2016 Book excerpt: The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush During my research with thousands of patients suffering from almost every kind of illness, including terminal diseases, I found that each person had large numbers of gallstones in the liver and, in many cases, also in the gallbladder. When people eliminated these stones through the liver flush (liver cleanse) and introduced simple health-forming habits and supportive measures, they recovered from diseases that defied both conventional and alternative methods of treatment. What follows is a description of some of the more common signs indicating the presence of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. If you have any of them, you will most likely derive great benefits from cleansing your liver and gallbladder. In my practice, I have found these indications to be highly accurate. In case you are not sure whether you have stones, it may be useful to cleanse the liver anyway; it can improve your health significantly, regardless. There is an old saying: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” The only way to discover for yourself whether you have gallstones is to do the liver flush. You will find that when you remove all the stones that may be present, the symptoms of disease will gradually disappear, and health will return to normal."

"text": "At its simplest, the digestive system is a tube running from mouth to anus. Its chief goal is to break down huge macromolecules (proteins, fats and starch), which cannot be absorbed intact, into smaller molecules (amino acids, fatty acids and glucose) that can be absorbed across the wall of the tube, and into the circulatory system for dissemination throughout the body. The digestive system can be divided into two main parts: the alimentary tract and accessory organs. The alimentary tract of the digestive system is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum and anus. Associated with the alimentary tract are the following accessory organs: salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Alimentary Tract Mouth The mouth, or oral cavity, is the first part of the digestive tract. It is adapted to receive food by ingestion, break it into small particles by mastication, and mix it with saliva. The lips, cheeks, and palate form the boundaries. The oral cavity contains the teeth and tongue and receives the secretions from the salivary glands. Pharynx The pharynx is a fibromuscular passageway that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and esophagus."

"text": "Real Age Administration Specialist The small intestine is a hollow, muscular tube about 20 feet long that comprises the longest part of your digestive system. Your small intestine connects your stomach above it to your large intestine (or colon) below it. Your small intestine has three parts. The duodenum is a short section at the top of the small intestine that takes semi-digested food from your stomach and digests it further, using bile from your gallbladder and liver and enzymes from the pancreas. The jejunum is the middle portion of the small intestine. It uses wave-like contractions to push the food through to the lower part of your small intestine. As the food moves through the jejunum it continues being digested and takes on a more fluid state. The ileum is the longest part of the small intestine and the part from which most nutrients and liquid are absorbed from food, before the remainder of the food is deposited into the large intestine. Dr. Lawrence S. Friedman, MDGastroenterologist The main work of digestion takes place in the small intestine, which is a remarkable 21 feet long. The small intestine breaks down fats, starches, and proteins into fatty acids, simple sugars, and amino acids, which it can then absorb."

"text": "Two of the lesser known and least understood provisions of the fiscal cliff legislation will raise taxes on high-income taxpayers by phasing out personal exemptions and the amount of itemized deductions wealthy taxpayers are allowed in 2013. The set of rules, dubbed personal exemption phase-out (PEP) and Pease (named after former Congressman Donald Pease, who helped create it), were originally passed in the early 1990s, and remained in place until the Bush-era tax cuts of 2001 gradually eliminated them. The new fiscal cliff bill restores the limitations in 2013*. By limiting the number of exemptions and deductions a high-income taxpayer is allowed, the taxes effectively raise a filer’s taxable income. Get the Fiscal Facts Sign up for our free email newsletter. Sign Me Up!RELATED: Who Pays More Under the Fiscal Cliff Deal? The fiscal cliff deal raised federal income taxes on married households who earn more than $450,000, or single filers who earn more than $400,000, but the new PEP and Pease limits on the value of personal exemptions and itemized deductions apply for married taxpayers who earn $300,000 or $250,000 for single filers. “It’s a sneaky rate increase once you get above the thresholds,” says Matthew Le Pley, a tax manager at Brighton Jones LLC. While taxpayers will not have to deal with the tax changes this filing season, experts recommend planning ahead, as a number of tax-saving strategies can be put into action now. PEP Beginning in 2013, the personal exemption phaseout limits the value of personal exemptions for taxpayers who earn more than $300,000 (married filing jointly), or $250,000 (single) by 2 percent for each $2,500 earned above the thresholds. The personal exemption, or the amount of income the IRS designates as “exempt” from being taxed at the federal level, is indexed for inflation, so the personal exemption amount is $3,800 for 2012, and rises to $3,900 in 2013."

"text": "Introduction Gambling losses are indeed tax deductible, but only to the extent of your winnings. This requires you to report all the money you win as taxable income on your return. However, the deduction for your losses is only available if you are eligible to itemize your deductions. If you claim the standard deduction, then you can't reduce your tax by your gambling losses. Keeping track of your winnings and losses The IRS requires you to keep a diary of your winnings and losses as a prerequisite to deducting losses from your winnings. This includes:lotteriesraffleshorse and dog racescasino gamespoker gamesand sports betting Your diary must include:the date and type of gambling you engage inthe name and address of the places where you gamblethe people you gambled withand the amount you win and lose Other documentation to prove your losses can include: Form W-2GForm 5754wagering ticketscanceled checks or credit recordsand receipts from the gambling facility Limitations on loss deductions The amount of gambling losses you can deduct can never exceed the winnings you report as income. For example, if you have $5,000 in winnings but $8,000 in losses, your deduction is limited to $5,000. You could not write off the remaining $3,000, or carry it forward to future years. Reporting gambling losses To report your gambling losses, you must be eligible to itemize your income tax deductions on Schedule A. You are eligible to itemize deductions if your gambling losses plus all other itemized expenses are greater than the standard deduction for your filing status. This means that if you claim the standard deduction, you are still obligated to report and pay tax on all winnings you earn during the year."

Instead, taxes are assessed only on your taxable income. So what is taxable income? Basically, it’s your total, gross income minus allowable personal exemptions and deductions. The individual tax forms — 1040EZ, 1040A or 1040 — act as filters here to help you to reach the smallest taxable income level.

"text": "\"States comply with IRS rules when it comes to lottery winnings. You and your spouse were faithful followers of the lottery. You sat money aside for it every week, and every ticket you bought had those special numbers -- your birthdays and anniversary date. Every week you watched the TV drawing to see and hear the winning numbers, and they always belonged to someone else -- until that magic night when those numbers matched your ticket. Now that you've calmed down, it's time to deal with a fiscal reality. Your national and local governments will come calling for a share of your fortune. It helps to know what you'll have to give them before you go on that shopping spree. How Much in Taxes Are Taken Out of Texas Lottery Winnings? Texas residents can't wrangle their way out of a 25 percent lottery tax slapped on all winnings over $5,000. That's not a state law, but an Internal Revenue Service mandate that applies to every lottery winner in the country."

Your taxable income is, in other words, the amount of your income that is subject to income tax. >> Start Your FREE E-file In the USA, what qualifies as “taxable income” is defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 63. “ Gross income” is defined in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income can encompass more than just your annual salary. Taxable income can include profits from stocks or real estate sales, winnings from the lottery, betting the dogs or horses, and winnings from any casino (domestic or abroad). Even the cash value of bartered items is considered taxable income. Income that may be part of your gross income but is not identified as taxable income would include child support, proceeds from life insurance policies, inheritances, workers compensation payments, welfare benefits, compensation awarded as a result of physical injury, education scholarships or grants, and income paid to your retirement account (either a 401k or IRA, up to a certain amount).

But times have changed, and now many taxpayers can expect to see at least a portion of their Social Security income make its way onto the taxable income line of their 1040s. TUTORIAL: Traditional IRAs People who convert their Traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs often fall into this hidden trap. If they exceed the funding limit, the extra income pushes them beyond the income threshold level and boom! They are stuck paying tax on thousands of dollars in Social Security income that they thought was tax free. In this article we'll explore why and how Social Security benefits become taxable and provide some tips to help you dig your way out of the trap. ( To learn more about Social Security benefits and eligibility, read Introduction To Social Security . ) Income Thresholds There are two separate income thresholds for filers that will determine whether they have to pay tax on their Social Security benefits. Here is a breakdown of the categories:-Income Percentage of Social Security Taxable Single, Head of Household, Qualifying Widower and Married Filing Separately (where the spouses lived apart the entire year) Below $25,000 All SS income is tax-free$25,000 - $34,000 Up to 50% of SS income may be taxable More than $34,000 Up to 85% of SS may be taxable Married Filing Jointly Below $32,000 All SS income is tax-free$32,000 - $44,000 Up to 50% of SS income may be taxable More than $44,000 Up to 85% of SS may be taxable Calculating Your Income Level Filers in either of the first two categories must compute their provisional income – also known as modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) – by adding together tax-exempt interest (such as from municipal bonds), 50% of the year's Social Security income, as well as any miscellaneous tax-free fringe benefits and exclusions to their adjusted gross income and then subtracting adjustments to income (other than education-related and domestic activities deductions. ) Example 1 Jim Lorman is single."

"title": "http://usgamblingrefund.com/prize-winnings\nTaxes On Contest, Raffle, Sweepstakes, Prize Winnings",
"text": "\"When Are Prize Winnings From Raffles, Sweepstakes And Contests Taxed? The IRS has unusually complicated rules for the taxation of prize, contest, raffle and sweepstakes wins for non-resident gamblers in the United States. The IRS taxes prize winnings when both of the following criteria are fulfilled:* The prize winnings (or equivalent cash value) are at least $600 USD above the original wager; and* The prize winnings are at least 300 times the cost of the original wager. For instance, if you purchased a raffle ticket for $2 USD in the United States and have prize winnings of $600 USD, you will not have any raffle tax assessed. The value of the initial wager ($2 USD) is subtracted from the value of the raffle win ($600 USD), resulting in a net of $598 USD (slightly less than the minimum threshold of $600 USD for taxes on prizes). Similarly, if you purchased a raffle ticket for $300 USD and have won a prize of $750 USD, you will also not have any prize tax assessed because the value of your raffle win is less than the 300:1 minimum ratio for raffle tax. Having described two scenarios where you have escaped taxes on prizes, let us go through a scenario where you will be assessed raffle tax on your prize winnings. If you bought a raffle ticket for $100 USD and subsequently win a car, with an equivalent cash value of $35,000 USD, you will have raffle tax assessed at a rate of 30% of your raffle win. In this scenario, both criteria previously listed are fulfilled. You have won more than $600 USD above the original wager ($100 USD subtracted from $35,000 USD cash value of the car results in a net raffle win of $34,900 USD) and your raffle win is more than 300 times the cost of your original wager (300 multiplied by $100 USD wager is $30,000 USD)."

You can also deduct your gambling losses...but only up to the extent of your winnings. Here are five important tips about gambling and taxes: Gambling income includes, but is not limited to, winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos. It includes cash winnings and the fair market value of prizes such as cars and trips. If you receive a certain amount of gambling winnings or if you have any winnings that are subject to federal tax withholding, the payer is required to issue you a Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings. The payer must give you a W-2G if you receive:$1,200 or more in gambling winnings from bingo or slot machines;$1,500 or more in proceeds (the amount of winnings minus the amount of the wager) from keno;More than $5,000 in winnings (reduced by the wager or buy-in) from a poker tournament;$600 or more in gambling winnings (except winnings from bingo, keno, slot machines, and poker tournaments) and the payout is at least 300 times the amount of the wager; or Any other gambling winnings subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally, you report all gambling winnings on the \"\"Other income\"\" line of Form 1040, U. S. Federal Income Tax Return. You can claim your gambling losses up to the amount of your winnings on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, under 'Other Miscellaneous Deductions.' You must report the full amount of your winnings as income and claim your allowable losses separately. You cannot reduce your gambling winnings by your gambling losses and report the difference."

"text": "Eating Game Meat Healthy and nutritious, game meat is typically lower in saturated fat and calories than domestic meat. Alaskan game generally feeds on wild plants, shrubs, and trees that do not contain pesticides or herbicides. When game meat is well cared for, many people prefer it over domestic meat because of its unique flavor, low fat, and lack of additives such as antibiotics or growth hormones. The table below compares the levels of protein, fat, cholesterol and calories in various types of game and domestically available meats. Some game meat has received a bad reputation for palatability. For example, many hunters shun bear meat. However, most hunters who do eat black and brown/grizzly bear say the meat is usually good or very good, unless the animal has been feeding on fish. Regardless of what a bear has been eating, its meat should always be well cooked to prevent trichinosis, a parasitic disease (also found in domestic hogs) that can infect humans. Meat from animals taken during the rut also has a poor reputation. To avoid unpleasant taste, extra care must be taken when field dressing big game during this period."

Rabbit Meat IS an amazing survival food- probably the best survival food- in a personal preparedness situation and I explain why here in Rethinking Rabbit Meat As a Survival Food. You can read both articles to learn about the debate regarding rabbit meat. The comments left by readers also contain a wealth of information. Thank you for reading. I was under the impression that raising rabbits for meat was a great way to supplement my family with organic meat, especially during a time of crisis where food may be in short supply. Turns out I wasn’t exactly right. The other day I was checking for rabbit recipes in my Nourishing Traditions cookbook and low and behold, there were none. So, I checked the index to see if rabbit was mentioned anywhere in the book and it was: Turns out rabbit meat is so lean that if a person ate it exclusively they could develop something called “fat-hunger” also known as “rabbit starvation."

( December 2017) [1] A no-carbohydrate diet ( no-carb diet, zero carb diet) excludes dietary consumption of all carbohydrates (including dietary fiber) and suggests fat as the main source of energy with sufficient protein. A no-carbohydrate diet may be ketogenic, which means it causes the body to go into a state of ketosis, converting dietary fat and body fat into ketone bodies which are used to fuel parts of the body that do not oxidize fat for energy, especially the brain. Some bodily organs and parts of the brain still require glucose, which is tightly regulated by the liver and adequately supplied by gluconeogenesis or by converting glycerol from the breakdown of triglycerides. A no-carbohydrate diet may use mainly animal source foods and may include a high saturated fat intake, though this is not prescriptive of the diet, which, by definition, only restricts carbohydrate intake."

But beware: Some meats are heavy in unhealthy saturated fat and cholesterol. By choosing the leaner cuts and cooking meat in healthful ways, you can make the most of your meat dishes. Meat: A Nutrition Powerhouse Foods in the meat group go beyond red meats like beef and lamb — they also include poultry, pork, fish, and shellfish. While their flavors vary widely, each of these types of meat provide nutrients the body needs: Protein. Protein is the basis of bones, muscles, and other body structures and is essential to many of the body’s systems. Vitamins. These include the antioxidant vitamin E, as well as important B vitamins, notably niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, and B6 — which are involved in many body functions such as regulating the nervous system and making red blood cells. Minerals. The main minerals found in meat are iron needed for blood health; zinc, for a healthy immune system; and magnesium, used in the bone-building process."

"text": "\"Low-Carb Meat Listby SARA POLICE Oct. 03, 2017Limiting carbohydrates -- carbs for short -- in your diet is one way to jump-start a weight-loss program. The first step in adopting a low-carb diet involves eliminating heavy starches such as pastas and breads, since most low-carb meals include protein with plenty of non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats. Poultry, game meats, beef, pork, fish and seafood are essentially carb-free and a good source of protein. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Chicken and Other Poultry Poultry refers to domestic fowl raised for their meat or eggs, including chicken, duck, turkey, goose, ostrich and pheasant. Each of these birds is naturally carb-free, yet some cooking methods add carbs. For example, 3 ounces of roasted chicken is carb-free, while the same size serving of fried chicken contains 8 grams of carbohydrates. This is because breading, batter or flour used to coat chicken before frying typically contains wheat or starch. Instead of frying, try roasting a couple of chicken breasts alongside a cup each of cherry tomatoes and cooked broccoli florets for a dinner with 10 grams of net carbs. \"\" Net\"\" carbs are the digestible carbohydrates -- total carbs minus the fiber grams. When purchasing poultry luncheon meats, avoid flavored varieties since these can contain added sweeteners or starches."

The variety of cuts gives pork diversity at meals while contributing to your overall protein intake. Some cuts are lean, and some are fatty, but they all contain high-quality protein and no carbohydrates. One ounce of a protein-rich food like pork generally contains 7 grams of protein, so one 3-ounce serving contains 21 grams of protein. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Complete Protein Protein is the building block of muscles. Made up of amino acids, protein is found in meats, eggs, nuts, legumes and dairy products. There are 20 amino acids that are essential for life, and meats, including pork, are complete proteins containing substantial amounts of all of these amino acids. Pork Nutrition The nutritional profile of pork varies greatly depending upon the cut of meat. For example, bacon has less protein and more fat than pork loin, which is a lean cut. One slice of baked bacon contains 44 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and almost 3 grams of protein."

As a matter of fact whole cookbooks have been dedicated to the enjoyment of various types of meat from wild game. Recipes in these types of cookbooks can vary from the very exotic to the commonplace, but it is really amazing how creative and unique some of these wild game recipes can be. Venison is perhaps one of the more common wild game recipe meats. Some restaurants feature venison on the menu and while this is farm raised, wild venison can be used in the same types of wild game recipes. Sheep, elk and other types of exotics can also be included in most standard wild game recipes, although you may need to adjust cooking time, liquids and fats in the recipe or even the spices used. Wild game typically has a more unique and intense flavor than beef or pork so spices may need to be increased or decreased, depending on the flavors that you want to come through in the dish. Below is a simple yet very elegant way to prepare a gourmet style meal using virtually any type of wild meat. Stuffed Wild Game Rolls4 very thinly sliced venison, antelope or elk steaks approximately 6 by 3 inches½ cup flour1 tsp salt1 tsp pepper Stuffing Ingredients11/2 cup dry bread crumbs1 small chopped onion½ cup chopped celery2 cloves garlic, chopped fine1 egg1 cup chicken or beef broth (reserve ¼ cup for cooking)½ teaspoon sage Salt and pepper to taste2-4 tbsp olive oil or fat Using a meat mallet, flatten the steaks to about ¼ inch thickness and sprinkle on the inside with salt and pepper.

They are a popular ergonomic upgrade for all types of users, especially gamers and typists. Individual mechanical switches beneath each key offer a number of benefits. The biggest one is an improved tactile response that can speed up typing. When you hear the click of a mechanical switch, you instantly know that your keystroke has registered. The most feather-fingered typists can use this satisfying click as a signal that they’ve depressed the key far enough, and can now move on to the next keystroke. After a bit of practice, you will be able to type paragraphs without bottoming out your keys. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in typing speed to match. Mechanical keyboards do have some downsides, though. They are loud and heavy, so they don’t work well in shared work spaces."

"text": "The standard QWERTY finger placement is uncomfortable and terribly designed.by Peter I’ve noticed something curious when creating One-Hand Keyboard. It’s a one-handed typing system for injured touch typists. Helps you stay productive if you type for a living and break your wrist. I won’t get into that here. The important bit is that I know exactly which fingers hit which keys. [ E] and [I] are typed with your middle finger reaching upward. [ F] and [J] are index finger, home row.

The \"\"clamshell\"\" is opened up to use the computer. Laptops are folded shut for transportation, and thus are suitable for mobile use. [ 1] Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference. [ 2] Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, in playing games, Internet surfing, for personal multimedia and general home computer use. A standard laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs, and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, small speakers, a keyboard, hard disk drive, optical disc drive pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad), a processor, and memory into a single unit. Most modern laptops feature integrated webcams and built-in microphones, while many also have touchscreens. Laptops can be powered either from an internal battery or by an external power supply from an AC adapter. Hardware specifications, such as the processor speed and memory capacity, significantly vary between different types, makes, models and price points.

A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys (buttons) and each press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. However, to produce some symbols requires pressing and holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence. While most keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs ( characters ), other keys or simultaneous key presses can produce actions or execute computer commands.

"text": "Your guide Melanie Pinola After testing 13 ergonomic keyboards over the past three years, we’ve found that the Microsoft Sculpt Ergo is still the most comfortable ergonomic keyboard for most people. It is the only one to meet all of our ergonomic criteria, which include the presence of a separate number pad, a palm rest that supports your hands in a comfortable position, and support for both negative tilt and vertical “tenting.” The Sculpt Ergo’s manta-ray-like design puts your hands in the most natural and comfortable position for long bouts of typing, and it’s also a solid wireless keyboard with keys that are crisp and satisfying to press. There’s no conclusive evidence that ergonomic keyboards can prevent injury, and if you experience serious pain or have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome or any repetitive-stress injury (RSI), see your doctor before purchasing a new keyboard as a form of treatment. For everyone else, however, ergonomic keyboards can be more comfortable than traditional keyboards if you’re typing all day long. Our pick Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard Affordable and comfortable An inexpensive ergonomic keyboard that puts your wrists in the ideal typing position for pleasant typing over long periods.$60 * from Amazon*At the time of publishing, the price was $68. The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard keeps your wrists and arms in a relaxed, neutral position, thanks to its negative-slope attachment, large wrist pad, and partially split, curved design. If you’re concerned about ergonomics and strain on your wrists, these are far more important features than backlit keys or dedicated shortcut keys. In addition to being a comfortable keyboard to type on for hours at a time, our pick wirelessly connects to Windows and mac OS, boasts a sleek and low-profile design, and uses chiclet keys that will be familiar to anyone who’s used a recent laptop. If you spend hours typing each day and want to improve your comfort, the Sculpt Ergo is a solid and affordable investment, costing less than half the price of other great ergonomic keyboards."

Updated introduction with new context, added the HP Spectre x360 15 to competitors, and made note of continuing firmware issues. Microsoft’s Surface Book is starting to show its age. Redmond has been busily producing a new Surface Laptop, an updated Surface Pro, and the Surface Studio — but no sign of any more updates to the impressively high-end 2-in-1 Book. A new keyboard last year helped bump the battery and graphical performance, but there’s no still Surface Book 2. The original Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 were the debut systems for Intel’s sixth generation CPUs, and the upper half of the Surface Book with Performance Base is effectively the same as the model we reviewed the first time around. The original standard Surface Book, which is still available and is not being discontinued, starts at $1,500. That buys you a Core i5 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive. Opting for the Surface Book with Performance base gets you a GTX 965M and a 60 watt-hour battery (that’s in addition to the 18 watt-hour battery in the tablet)."

So about a year and a half ago, I gave my impressions of Steam’s upcoming controller. It was a prototype, but I thought it was a good view into where Valve was going with it. Well Valve has fairly recently updated their model for the controller, and with that, took out the UI and support for the controller I received way back when. I was fairly disappointed when I realized my controller was now near-useless, but considering I got it for free with this awesome computer, I was not too broken up about it.

Get Rid Of Bad Habits Getting rid of your bad typing habits is probably the hardest thing to do. You’ve probably been using the same typing method since you started using a keyboard, right down to where you place your palms. If you’re an FPS (First Person Shooter) gamer you’re probably used to placing your left hand on the WASD keys, and may have stronger fingers on your left hand than your right (speaking from experience here). ( Image Source: Fotolia)Others may type only with two fingers, hovering over ten (or more) keys each, always having to keep their eyes on the keyboard to get the right keys.

While we have plenty of gadgets today to accomplish this task, the world seems to be divided between three camps – full-featured laptops that come with bulk, weight and very little battery life, highly mobile tablets that pack enough battery life to keep you busy, but don’t have the juice to run anything serious, or “ultrabooks” that fall in-between, being a compromise in terms of weight, bulk and performance. For a while, I thought that an ultrabook would be the best device for my needs. With a laptop style layout, small and portable design and plenty of processing power and memory, I tried out a couple of ultrabooks to see if they would fit my needs. My first pick was the Dell XPS 13, which I had high hopes for. After using it for a few months going through several motherboard replacements, dealing with the horrendous trackpad and a myriad of performance and other problems, I realized that it was not something I had any desire to continue to use. A bad mistake that cost me money and valuable time. I then tried out a few other ultrabooks from HP and Sony, getting equally frustrated with similar or other problems. After all the frustrations, I kept on coming back to my good old Dell Precision laptop, which was heavy and too large to fit in any normal backpack. But at least it worked and was good enough to do some real work."

The other two types of natural radioactivity are alpha and beta radiation, which are in the form of particles. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, with a very short wavelength of less than one-tenth of a nanometer. Gamma radiation is the product of radioactive atoms. Depending upon the ratio of neutrons to protons within its nucleus, an isotope of a particular element may be stable or unstable. When the binding energy is not strong enough to hold the nucleus of an atom together, the atom is said to be unstable. Atoms with unstable nuclei are constantly changing as a result of the imbalance of energy within the nucleus. Over time, the nuclei of unstable isotopes spontaneously disintegrate, or transform, in a process known as radioactive decay. Various types of penetrating radiation may be emitted from the nucleus and/or its surrounding electrons."

Learning Objectives Discuss the history of the discovery of radiation Key Takeaways Key Points The emission of the rays Becquerel discovered is called nuclear radioactivity, and the rays themselves are called nuclear radiation. A nucleus that spontaneously destroys part of its mass to emit radiation is undergoing radioactive decay. Radiation does not vary with chemical state. Marie and Pierre Curie discovered two new radioactive elements, which Marie named polonium and radium. Key Termsradioactivity: Spontaneous emission of ionizing radiation as a consequence of a nuclear reaction, or directly from the breakdown of an unstable nucleus.decay: To change by undergoing fission, by emitting radiation, or by capturing or losing one or more electrons. Becquerel’s Pitchblende In 1896, the French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel accidentally found that a uranium-rich mineral called pitchblende emitted invisible, penetrating rays that could darken a photographic plate enclosed in an opaque envelope. While working on phosphorescent materials, he happened to place the pitchblende on black paper that he had used to cover a piece of film. When he looked more carefully, he noticed that the film had lots of patches on it, and that this did not happen when other elements were placed on the paper. He eventually concluded that some rays must be coming out of the uranium crystals to produce this effect."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ionizing radiation hazard symbol Ionizing radiation ( ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them. Ionizing radiation is made up of energetic subatomic particles, ions or atoms moving at high speeds (usually greater than 1% of the speed of light), and electromagnetic waves on the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays, X-rays, and the higher ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum are ionizing, whereas the lower ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and all the spectrum below UV, including visible light (including nearly all types of laser light), infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are considered non-ionizing radiation. The boundary between ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that occurs in the ultraviolet is not sharply defined, since different molecules and atoms ionize at different energies. Conventional definition places the boundary at a photon energy between 10 e V and 33 e V in the ultraviolet (see definition boundary section below). Typical ionizing subatomic particles from radioactivity include alpha particles, beta particles and neutrons. Almost all products of radioactive decay are ionizing because the energy of radioactive decay is typically far higher than that required to ionize. Other subatomic ionizing particles which occur naturally are muons, mesons, positrons, and other particles that constitute the secondary cosmic rays that are produced after primary cosmic rays interact with Earth's atmosphere. [ 1] [2] Cosmic rays are generated by stars and certain celestial events such as supernova explosions. Cosmic rays may also produce radioisotopes on Earth (for example, carbon-14 ), which in turn decay and produce ionizing radiation."

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves. Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes."

These definitions are generally informal and vague, and the bands may overlap. There seems to be a gap between the ultra-violet and X-ray bands. Sometimes, the choice of band depends on how the radiation is generated. For example, radiation from radioactive decay is always referred to as gamma rays, even if its photon energy would class it as X-rays. The main bands used, in order of decreasing wavelength (hence increasing frequency and photon energy) are: Radio Microwaves Infra-Red Visible light Ultra-violet X-rays Gamma rays A convenient mnemonic for remembering these is \"\" R abbits M ate I n V ery U nusual e X pensive G ardens\"\". There are many bands within these, which are even vaguer and more prone to overlap."

Learning Objectives Compare properties of AM and FM radio waves Key Takeaways Key Points The lowest frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is designated as “radio,” generally considered to have wavelengths within 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers or frequencies within 300 GHz to 3 k Hz. There is a wide range of subcategories contained within radio including AM and FM radio. Radio waves can be generated by natural sources such as lightning or astronomical phenomena; or by artificial sources such as broadcast radio towers, cell phones, satellites and radar. AM radio waves are used to carry commercial radio signals in the frequency range from 540 to 1600 k Hz. The abbreviation AM stands for amplitude modulation—the method for placing information on these waves. AM waves have constant frequency, but a varying amplitude. FM radio waves are also used for commercial radio transmission in the frequency range of 88 to 108 MHz. FM stands for frequency modulation, which produces a wave of constant amplitude but varying frequency. Key Terms AM radio waves: Waves used to carry commercial radio signals between 540 and 1600 k Hz."

"text": "What are x-rays and gamma rays? There are many different types of radiation – from the light that comes from the sun to the heat that is constantly coming off our bodies. But when talking about radiation and cancer risk, it is often x-rays and gamma rays that people think about. X-rays and gamma rays can come from natural sources, such as radon gas, radioactive elements in the earth, and cosmic rays that hit the earth from outer space. But this type of radiation can also be man-made. X-rays and gamma rays are created in power plants for nuclear energy, and are also used in smaller amounts for medical imaging tests, cancer treatment, food irradiation, and airport security scanners. X-rays and gamma rays are both types of high energy (high frequency) electromagnetic radiation. They are packets of energy that have no charge or mass (weight). These packets of energy are known as photons. Because X-rays and gamma rays have the same properties and health effects, they are grouped together in this document."

X-rays are a type of electromagnetic rays, which are used for medical purposes, and gamma rays are widely used in observational astronomy. Both of these electromagnetic rays are high-energy electromagnetic rays. This article will address what X-rays and gamma rays are, their definitions, the similarities between X-rays and gamma rays, the application of these two, the production of gamma rays and x-rays, and finally the difference between gamma rays and X-rays. X-Rays X-rays are type electromagnetic rays. Electromagnetic waves are classified into several regions according to their energy. X-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, visible, and radio waves are few of them. Everything we see is due to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A spectrum is the plot of intensity versus energy of the electromagnetic rays. The energy can also be represented in wavelength or frequency."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry List the Three Types of Radiation Given Off During Radioactive Decay By John Papiewski; Updated January 30, 2018Of the three main types of radiation given off during radioactive decay, two are particles and one is energy; scientists call them alpha, beta and gamma after the first three letters of the Greek alphabet. Alpha and beta particles consist of matter, and gamma rays are bursts of energy. The type of radiation emitted depends on the radioactive substance; cesium-137, for example, produces beta and gamma radiation but not alpha particles. What Happens During Radioactive Decay? An atom that gives off radiation has an unstable nucleus; in many cases this means it has too many neutrons. Atoms relieve the instability by splitting into pieces or emitting radiation; because this may change the number of protons in the nucleus, it might become a different element. For example, uranium-238 emits an alpha particle and becomes thorium-234. The “daughter” atom may also be radioactive; each new element becomes a step in a process that ends with a stable atom. Alpha Particles Alpha particles are two protons bound to two neutrons -- essentially, it is the nucleus of a helium atom. Compared to other forms of radiation, alphas are heavy and have little power to penetrate matter; a few feet of air or a single sheet of paper is all it takes to block them."

The kind of light that has the highest energy photons are called - gamma rays. Gamma rays have so much energy it took a long time for physicists to realize they were particles of light after they were discovered in 1900. Although you can assign a frequency or a wavelength to a gamma ray, usually gamma rays are described by how much energy is in one photon. Gamma rays generally have more energy than 100,000 electron-volts (or 100 ke V). Less than 100 ke V are x-rays."

Radiosurgery is surgery using radiation, [1] that is, the destruction of precisely selected areas of tissue using ionizing radiation rather than excision with a blade. Like other forms of radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy), it is usually used to treat cancer. Radiosurgery was originally defined by the Swedish neurosurgeon Lars Leksell as \"\"a single high dose fraction of radiation, stereotactically directed to an intracranial region of interest\"\". [ 2] In stereotactic radiosurgery ( SRS ), the word \"\"stereotactic\"\" refers to a three-dimensional coordinate system that enables accurate correlation of a virtual target seen in the patient's diagnostic images with the actual target position in the patient. When used outside the CNS it may be called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). [ 3]Technological improvements in medical imaging and computing have led to increased clinical adoption of stereotactic radiosurgery and have broadened its scope in the 21st century. [ 4] [5] The localization accuracy and precision that are implicit in the word \"\"stereotactic\"\" remain of utmost importance for radiosurgical interventions. Stereotactic accuracy and precision are significantly increased by using a device known as the N-localizer. ["

A telescope is an optical instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light) [ citation needed]. The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century, by using glass lenses. They found use in both terrestrial applications and astronomy. The reflecting telescope, which uses mirrors to collect and focus light, was invented within a few decades of the first telescopes being made. In the 20th century, many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telescopes in the 1960s. The word telescope now refers to a wide range of instruments capable of detecting different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and in some cases other types of detectors. The word telescope (from the Ancient Greek τῆλε, tele \"\"far\"\" and σκοπεῖν, skopein \"\"to look or see\"\"; τηλεσκόπος, teleskopos \"\"far-seeing\"\") was coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei 's instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei.

"text": "Electromagnetic Radiation: Electromagnetic radiation is energy that is propagated through free space or through a material medium in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays. The term also refers to the emission and transmission of such radiant energy. The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell was the first to predict the existence of electromagnetic waves. In 1864 he set forth his electromagnetic theory, proposing that light--including various other forms of radiant energy--is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves. In 1887 Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist, provided experimental confirmation by producing the first man-made electromagnetic waves and investigating their properties. Subsequent studies resulted in a broader understanding of the nature and origin of radiant energy. It has been established that time-varying electric fields can induce magnetic fields and that time-varying magnetic fields can in like manner induce electric fields. Because such electric and magnetic fields generate each other, they occur jointly, and together they propagate as electromagnetic waves. An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave in that the electric field and the magnetic field at any point and time in the wave are perpendicular to each other as well as to the direction of propagation. In free space (i.e., a space that is absolutely devoid of matter and that experiences no intrusion from other fields or forces), electromagnetic waves always propagate with the same speed--that of light (299,792,458 m per second, or 186,282 miles per second)--independent of the speed of the observer or of the source of the waves."

"text": "Question If gamma rays can travel through walls, and radio waves can travel through walls, and they are on opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, then why can't light travel through walls which is right in the middle of the spectrum? Asked by: Nakul Jeirath Answer It's a Goldilocks and the Three Bears example of this radiation is too big and slow and this radiation is too small and fast. Gamma rays, visible light, and radio waves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation, and you're right that radio waves are on one end of the spectrum (with a wavelength of meters), gamma rays are on the other end (with a wavelength of about 10 -12 meters) and visible light is somewhere in between (with a wavelength of around 5 x 10 -7 meters). Three things happen to EM radiation when it encounters a barrier. It can bounce (reflectance or scattering), pass through (transmittance), or just plain stop (absorbance). The intensity of radiation transmitted depends on several things: The wavelength of the radiation The intensity of the radiation hitting the barrier The chemical composition of the barrier The physical microstructure of the barrier The thickness of the barrier Your question has to do with #1, but keep in mind that powerful enough visible light (many times brighter than sunlight) would be able to pass through the walls of your home so you could see it, and even a weak light can shine through a paper-thin wall or a wall made of glass. Now as for your question, imagine an ant and an elephant standing next to each other. The ant doesn't know the elephant is there because it's too big and the elephant doesn't know the ant is there because it's too small. EM waves interact with matter in a similar way: on their own scale of size and time. The reason why visible light can't travel through walls as easily as gamma rays or radio waves is because, to the visible light, there's something 'there' on a similar scale of length (wavelength) and time (frequency) that the gamma rays are too small and fast to interact with and the radio waves are too large and slow to interact with."

"text": "Electromagnetic Radiation Although the electromagnetic spectrum is made up of many different waves with different properties, they are all electromagnetic radiations. Electromagnetic radiations can be considered as a stream of photons. Photons are particles of zero mass and charge which travel in a wave like pattern at the speed of light. Each photon has a certain quantity or pattern of energy. Thus a beam of electromagnetic radiation delivers energy in photons and the difference between the various electromagnetic radiations is the amount of energy within the photons they possess. Electromagnetic radiations with high frequencies such as gamma rays and X-rays have photons of high energies whereas electromagnetic radiations with low frequencies such as radio waves have photons of low energies. The energy delivered by each electromagnetic radiation beam increases with the frequency of the electromagnetic wave. Intensity of an Electromagnetic Radiation beam The intensity of a beam of electromagnetic radiation is the energy it delivers per second. The energy of the beam of electromagnetic radiation is delivered by the photons. Therefore the intensity depends on two things: The number of photons that are arriving per second The amount of energy carried by each photon1."

It takes a few inches of solid lead to block Gamma rays.

When atoms decay, they emit three types of radiation, alpha, beta and gamma. The alpha and beta radiation consist of actual matter that shoots off the atom, while gamma rays are electromagnetic waves. All three kinds of radiation are potentially hazardous to living tissue, but some more than others, as will be explained later on. Properties of Alpha Radiation The first type of radiation, Alpha, consists of two neutrons and two protons bound together to the nucleus of a Helium atom. Though the least powerful of the three types of radiation, alpha particles are nonetheless the most densely ionizing of the three. That means when alpha rays can cause mutations in any living tissue they come into contact with, potentially causing unusual chemical reactions in the cell and possible cancer. They are still viewed as the least dangerous form of radiation, as long as it's not ingested or inhaled, because it can be stopped by even a thin sheet of paper or even skin, meaning that it cannot enter the body very easily."

April 20, 1999: By studying the electromagnetic emissions of objects such as stars, galaxies, and black holes, astronomers hope to come to a better understanding of the universe. Although many astronomical puzzles can only be solved by comparing images of different wavelengths, telescopes are only designed to detect a particular portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Astronomers therefore often use images from several different telescopes to study celestial phenomena. Shown below is the Milky Way Galaxy as seen by radio, infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes. The Multi-Wave Milky Way Galaxyradio infrared visual X-ray gamma ray Different types of telescopes usually don't take simultaneous readings. Space is a dynamic system, so an image taken at one time is not necessarily the precise equivalent of an image of the same phenomena taken at a later time. And often, there is barely enough time for one kind of telescope to observe extremely short-lived phenomena like gamma-ray bursts. By the time other telescopes point to the object, it has grown too faint to be detected. So why haven't scientists created a telescope designed to look at everything at once? \"\""

Even though all light is fundamentally the same thing, the way that astronomers observe light depends on the portion of the spectrum they wish to study. For example, different detectors are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. In addition, not all light can get through the Earth's atmosphere, so for some wavelengths we have to use telescopes aboard satellites. Even the way we collect the light can change depending on the wavelength. Here we briefly introduce observatories used for each band of the EM spectrum. A sample of telescopes (operating as of February 2013) operating at wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum. Observatories are placed above or below the portion of the EM spectrum that their primary instrument (s) observe. The represented observatories are: HESS, Fermi and Swift for gamma-ray, Nu STAR and Chandra for X-ray, GALEX for ultraviolet, Kepler, Hubble, Keck (I and II), SALT, and Gemini (South) for visible, Spitzer, Herschel, and Sofia for infrared , Planck and CARMA for microwave, Spektr-R, Greenbank, and VLA for radio.

"text": "If your eyes could detect gamma rays, you would see brilliant bursts of light in the sky about once per day. The flashes would be so brilliant, they would momentarily outshine everything, including the sun. These gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful singular events in the universe. They’re thought to be messages from the beginning of time when the most massive stars in existence violently collapsed. GRBs were discovered by accident while looking for a very different kind of electromagnetic outburst. In the early 1970s, military satellites monitored our planet for violations of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Rogue nuclear tests would show up as gamma ray flashes coming up from the ground. While flashes were detected, they did not originate on Earth!Hundreds of bursts were recorded for decades but their nature remained a mystery. Because gamma rays are very difficult to focus, it was impossible to pinpoint their locations on the sky. Also, their ephemeral nature made them maddeningly tricky to investigate."

"text": "Spectral gamma ray logs The latest variant on the gamma ray log is the spectral gamma ray log. This starts out exactly the same as the standard gross gamma ray count log. Gamma rays from the formation are counted in a detector system. However, there is an added level of sophistication. The energy of the gamma ray captured by the detector is proportional to the brightness of the light pulse it produces, and this brightness, in turn, determines the size of the electrical pulse produced by the photomultiplier. By sorting the pulses from the photomultiplier into bins by their size, a spectrum equivalent to the energy spectrum of the incoming gamma rays is produced. The energy of the gamma rays is determined by which element emitted them. Contents [ hide ]1 Identifying the spectrum2 Advantages of spectral gamma ray logs3 Applications4 Nomenclature5 References6 Noteworthy papers in One Petro7 External links8 See also Identifying the spectrum As we saw earlier, the energy of a gamma ray depends on its source.

Not all garlic supplements are the same, however. Garlic tablets not coated properly will have the same bad breath effect as eating raw garlic.

Petesch Hiromichi Matsuura Shigeo Kasuga Yoichi Itakura The Journal of Nutrition, Volume 131, Issue 3, 1 April 2001, Pages 955S–962S, https://doi.org/10.1093/jn/131.3.955SPublished: 01 April 2001Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Abstract The health benefits of garlic likely arise from a wide variety of components, possibly working synergistically. The complex chemistry of garlic makes it plausible that variations in processing can yield quite different preparations. Highly unstable thiosulfinates, such as allicin, disappear during processing and are quickly transformed into a variety of organosulfur components. The efficacy and safety of these preparations in preparing dietary supplements based on garlic are also contingent on the processing methods employed. Although there are many garlic supplements commercially available, they fall into one of four categories, i.e., dehydrated garlic powder, garlic oil, garlic oil macerate and aged garlic extract (AGE). Garlic and garlic supplements are consumed in many cultures for their hypolipidemic, antiplatelet and procirculatory effects. In addition to these proclaimed beneficial effects, some garlic preparations also appear to possess hepatoprotective, immune-enhancing, anticancer and chemopreventive activities. Some preparations appear to be antioxidative, whereas others may stimulate oxidation. These additional biological effects attributed to AGE may be due to compounds, such as S -allylcysteine, S -allylmercaptocysteine, N α -fructosyl arginine and others, formed during the extraction process. Although not all of the active ingredients are known, ample research suggests that several bioavailable components likely contribute to the observed beneficial effects of garlic.garlic, extraction, process, S-allylcysteine, allicin Topic:garlic Issue Section: Supplement: Recent Advances on the Nutritional Effects Associated with the Use of Garlic as a Supplement Preclinical and clinical studies reveal a close relationship between dietary habits and the occurrence of disease."

Sometimes, due to certain medical conditions and even due to certain medicines like antibiotics, the yeast in our body grow to such a level that it leads to infection, mostly in warm and moist body areas. This is known as Yeast Infection whose medical name is Candidiasis. By now you know that it results from the overgrowth of a type of yeast. This yeast is known as Candida (Candida albicans.) So, our mouths, throat, skin under arms, skin folds like those under breasts or inside elbow or knee area and more commonly genital areas can easily get yeast infection. They all are, however, differentiated with individual names. For example, it is called Thrush when we get it in mouth or throat. When it affects genital area, it is called Yeast Infection.

It is also used to prevent tick bites, as a mosquito repellant, and for preventing the common cold, and treating and preventing bacterial and fungal infections. Garlic is also used for earaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, menstrual disorders, abnormal cholesterol levels caused by HIV drugs, hepatitis, shortness of breath related to liver disease, stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori infection, exercise performance, exercise-induced muscle soreness, a condition that causes lumps in the breast tissue called fibrocystic breast disease, a skin condition called scleroderma, and lead toxicity."

"text": "1 of 10 Getty Images Is your Rx to blame? If you have heartburn, pills can be your best friend and worst enemy. Some pills (such as antacids) soothe the painful burning you experience after downing an order of buffalo wings or drinking one too many glasses of wine. Other pills—the ones you take for health conditions that are not related to heartburn—can make the pain worse or even trigger heartburn in the first place. Is your medication to blame for your pain? This guide will help you find out. Advertisement2 of 10 Getty Images Ibuprofen Popular over-the-counter ibuprofen products such as Motrin and Advil can increase acid production in the stomach. Try acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead. “ It does not increase acid levels,” says Vivek Kaul, MD, a gastroenterologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center, in Rochester, N. Y. Even a narcotic such as Percocet may be better for your stomach than taking six Motrin tablets a day, he says. But some narcotics can cause heartburn—in addition to being habit-forming—so discuss your options with your physician.3 of 10 Istockphoto Bone-strengthening drugs Osteoporosis drugs known as bisphosphenates—including blockbusters like alendronate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), and risedronate (Actonel)—are notorious for causing heartburn."

"text": "\"Candidiasis, also known as candida, affects millions of Americans, many of whom unknowingly suffer from this condition of yeast overgrowth. Along with food allergy, with which it is often interrelated, candidiasis is one of the most commonly overlooked or misdiagnosed chronic disease conditions in America, and is responsible for a host of symptoms, including gastrointestinal disorders, chronic fatigue, depression, allergies, and low immune function. It is precisely because of this wide range of symptoms that candidiasis so often goes undetected. In many respects, candidiasis is a disease that began in the last century, since many of its causes are directly due to modern day factors such as antibiotics, birth control pills, environmental pollutants, and today's typical devitalized American diet. Normally, Candida albicans, the yeast that is most responsible for causing candidiasis, is a naturally-occurring yeast that inhabits the human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, the mouth, and the vagina. So far, research has determined that the yeast's only function is to help the body absorb B vitamins. In healthy individuals, candida is kept in balance by the essential bacteria that also inhabit the gastrointestinal and genital tract, especially lactobacillus and bifidus. Sometimes referred to as acidophilus bacteria, these friendly strains of bacteria help manufacture enzymes and vitamins, lower cholesterol levels, and fight undesirable bacteria, targeting candida as their food. So long as adequate amounts of these healthy bacteria are present in the intestines a homeostatic relationship is maintained, and candida poses no problem. Unfortunately, this balance is delicate and can be easily disrupted."

( Center for Disease Control and Prevention / James Gathany)0Angela Mulholland, Staff writer@Ange Mulholland Published Wednesday, July 2, 2014 6:55AM EDTGetting covered head-to-toe in mosquito bites seems to be as much a part of Canadian summers as sunburns, black flies and scorched burgers. And Canadians have been known to try anything to fend off the tiny blood-suckers, from smoke coils, to candles, to garlic pills. For the longest time, the only really reliable weapon in Canadians’ skeeter-fighting arsenal was DEET. The insect repellent has been around for 50 years and remains one of the best weapons against mosquitoes, offering excellent bite protection that lasts for hours. Related Stories Mexico confirms first case of mosquito-borne chikungunya virus But DEET – an oil formally called N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide -- isn’t perfect and many have had bad reactions while using it. Still, the number of repellent choices has grown in recent years, with several new mosquito-fighting options entering the market. So which of these new products actually work and how do they stack up against what’s already out there? Let’s take a look at a few. Icaridin: This is a new repellent that entered the U. S. market in 2005 (as “picaridin”) and was approved by Health Canada in 2012."

"text": "The Best Garlic Capsulesby CHRISTINE GARVIN Oct. 03, 2017Garlic is a very potent natural substance that stimulates the immune system and also fights bacteria found in the intestine. Many garlic capsules are available on the market, but unfortunately, not all are effective. There are a few ways to determine which garlic capsules are best. The amount of Allicin, the antibacterial component of garlic, whether or not the garlic is enteric-coated, and if it is odor-free all should be considered before purchasing a particular brand. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load4,000mcg of Allicin Garlic capsules should always contain at least 4,000mcg of Allicin, the medicinal and antibacterial component of garlic. Naturopathic doctor Tori Hudson recommends this amount of Allicin to work as an anti-fungal and immune booster, and to consume two garlic capsules a day to fight yeast infections. Enteric-coated capsules To maintain their effectiveness, garlic capsules should be enteric-coated. This barrier on a capsule protects the garlic from being released before it enters the small intestine, where it is most effective. According to Nature's Medicine, without the coating, the garlic breaks down in the stomach, rendering the active ingredient useless. Stay Away from Odor-Free Although the choice to have odorless garlic supplements sounds helpful, What Doctors Don't Tell You recommends skipping these brands."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sustained release dosage forms)navigation search Modified-release dosage is a mechanism that (in contrast to immediate-release dosage) delivers a drug with a delay after its administration (delayed-release dosage) or for a prolonged period of time (extended-release [ER, XR, XL] dosage) or to a specific target in the body (targeted-release dosage). [ 1]Sustained-release dosage forms are dosage forms designed to release (liberate) a drug at a predetermined rate in order to maintain a constant drug concentration for a specific period of time with minimum side effects. This can be achieved through a variety of formulations, including liposomes and drug-polymer conjugates (an example being hydrogels ). Sustained release's definition is more akin to a \"\"controlled release\"\" rather than \"\"sustained\"\". Extended-release dosage consists of sustained-release (SR) and controlled-release (CR) dosage. SR maintains drug release over a sustained period but not at a constant rate. CR maintains drug release over a sustained period at a nearly constant rate. [ 1]Sometimes these and other terms are treated as synonyms, but the United States Food and Drug Administration has in fact defined most of these as different concepts. [ 1] Sometimes the term \"\"depot tablet\"\" is used by non-native speakers, but this is not found in any English dictionaries and is a literal translation of the term used in Swedish and some other languages. Modified-release dosage and its variants are mechanisms used in tablets (pills) and capsules to dissolve a drug over time in order to be released slower and steadier into the bloodstream while having the advantage of being taken at less frequent intervals than immediate-release (IR) formulations of the same drug."

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

"text": "\"Winter Mood Lifters: 7 Foods Thought To Boost Energy & Make You Feel Perkier Megan Gordon Jan 17, 2013Share Email A few friends of mine have been having a tough time with the gray days of January, claiming they're really taking a toll on their mood. They're napping more, drinking more coffee, and having a hard time getting to the gym. We had lunch the other day, and all got to talking about what foods could actually help boost energy and moods in the winter. It turns out there are quite a few good bets!The thing to consider when buying and preparing food specifically to boost your mood or endorphins is to think about what food makes you happy (as in what foods you really enjoy eating). Forget the science for a minute: if you hate salmon, then preparing salmon simply because it's thought to boost your mood isn't going to make for a very enjoyable meal. So consider these lists with that in mind: first, think about what you can prepare for yourself that will taste really delicious and be an overall satisfying sensory experience, and second, reach for food that's actually good for you. After a bit of reading and chatting with many friends, here are a few foods I've found help me feel better in the winter:1. Complex Carbohydrates: Good carbs and whole grains like oats or whole-wheat pasta are said to generate serotonin which helps balance your mood and satisfies your hunger. 2. Avocado: The monounsaturated fats in avocados apparently help lower blood pressure, keeping your mood calm and balanced."

"text": "Benefits of Garlic Powderby ASHLEY SCHWADER Aug. 14, 2017For centuries, garlic has been used as a home remedy and medicinal tool. Garlic contains at least several compounds that appear to contribute to its beneficial effects. The availability and amount of these components may be impacted by the garlic form -- whether raw, cooked, powdered or in supplement form. While garlic is a flavorful and popular culinary ingredient, if you are planning to use garlic to manage any medical conditions or if you already take prescription medications, talk with your doctor before taking garlic as a supplement or before greatly increasing your normal intake. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Garlic Chemistry In ancient times, garlic was used to treat wounds, parasites and intestinal disorders, and in recent decades this popular culinary bulb is known more for its perceived role in the management or prevention of conditions such as cancer and heart disease. Garlic contains sulfur compounds, enzymes, and a variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals and fiber -- with some of this bulb’s health-promoting components not yet known or realized. One of the most active compounds in garlic is allicin, a potent antioxidant. Allicin is not present in whole garlic, but is produced after raw garlic is crushed or cut -- exposing one of garlic's sulfur compounds alliin to allinase, an enzyme. Garlic Powder Chemistry Garlic powder, made from fresh, dried garlic cloves contains alliin and allinase, but not allicin, according to a March 2001 review published in “The Journal of Nutrition.” Powdered garlic contains many of garlic’s other beneficial components, and some garlic powder pills are enteric coated with the promise that the supplement’s allinase will escape stomach digestion and allow some intestinal conversion of alliin into allicin."

Click here to try the best garlic pill to get rid of infections quickly and safely!A very popular urinary tract infection remedy is garlic, however, most people do not know how to use it properly to help them with their infection and they think that just by consuming some garlic with their salads, they are going to cure it!So, can garlic really treat urinary tract infection? The answer is yes, garlic is not only going to treat urinary tract infection, it’s going to get rid of the main causes, which are bacteria such as Echerchia coli. Garlic is very rich in anti-inflammatory and antibiotic agents, the most known one is allicin, but there are also many other sulfur compounds that are going to wipe out the bad bacteria in your body!Because when you consume garlic, it’s going to release its active ingredients in your blood stream, and because your blood stream is going to get filtered by your kidney and then excess moisture and other chemical compounds are going to pass through your urinary tract, garlic’s antibiotic agents are going to help tremendously control the bad bacteria population and even get rid of them. However, don’t think that garlic is the most effective urinary tract infection solution, it’s not!It’s just a way to help your body fight off these bacteria more efficiently, the best thing to do if you suffer from urinary tract infection is to check with your doctor and he alone can prescribe the right types of antibiotics to get rid of the infection very quickly and surely. I repeat, do not try to cure urinary tract infection with garlic alone! Do not play Russian roulette with your health, it can lead you to permanent damages. This is how to use garlic in order to help your body treat urinary tract infection: The first thing you have to do is to start drinking a lot of water, more than five cups a day, this may look like a difficult amount to reach, but it’s totally manageable. When you wake up, drink three cups, it will help your bowel movements and will also increase your energy in the morning. At lunch, drink one cup of water and in the evening, drink another two cups and you will have reached more than your daily water objectives!The third step is to consume raw garlic."

And why wouldn’t any of us who live in the British Isles prefer it that way? We are an Island nation with sea all around us and some of the best fishing waters in the world. I have to profess to being a cold water fish fan too; the types of fish that our fishermen catch in the cold North Atlantic is diverse and of excellent quality, and who can resist fresh cod, haddock, coley (Saithe), hake, pollack, sole, plaice, whiting or herrings; and I name but a few varieties that are caught locally. Of all the fish that is landed by the Budding Rose who sails out of Peterhead in Scotland, and then bought and carefully prepared (skinned, boned and filleted, as well as smoked) by John at Delish Fish, my favourite fish by far is the humble hake. Hake: Photo BBCHake are deep-sea members of the cod family and are popular throughout Europe and America. Hake is quite a mild fish, with a white flaky texture and a flavour that is more subtle than that of cod. The flesh when raw is naturally very soft, but when cooked it becomes firm and meaty. In France, hake is called ‘saumon blanc’ (which translates as ‘white salmon’), but whatever the name, I LOVE it. It’s a perfect fish for children, as it is mild and not overly “fishy” in flavour; it is easy to cook, can be poached, fried, roast, steamed, curried or thrown in a pie."

"text": "NEXTWhich will save you more green when you're washing your clothes -- gas or electric?i Stockphoto/ Thinkstock Buying a new household appliance is usually a long-term investment, whether you're replacing an old unit or setting up a home for the first time. Why not take advantage of the occasion to buy the most energy-efficient products you can? Before you buy a clothes dryer, though, you need to understand the difference between the two types that are most commonly available: gas and electric. Both types of dryers function similarly -- air is drawn into the dryer, passes through a heating coil, warms the clothes inside, collects moisture, and is vented out. Gas dryers use gas to create the heat, and electric dryers use electricity. Both types use an electric fan to distribute the heat. Even though both types require a steady stream of electricity, gas models are slightly more efficient. According to the Consumer Energy Center, the clothes dryer (whichever type you have) is the second most energy-hungry appliance in the house -- only the refrigerator uses more power. Dryers are measured by a standard called the energy factor, which measures pounds of clothes per kilowatt hour of electricity. ( This standard is also used in a similar application: measuring the power usage of water heaters.)"

"text": "How to Save Money on Laundry and Reduce Your Cost Per Load By Amy Livingston Posted in: Go Green, Spending and Saving Share 36 Tweet 38 Pin 6 Comments 3When Ben Franklin said that nothing in the world is certain except death and taxes, he obviously forgot about laundry. Perhaps that’s because he had a laundress to do it for him – but nowadays, most of us are stuck doing this job ourselves. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American family goes through 400 loads of laundry each year – more than one load every single day. The good news is, thanks to the automatic washer and dryer, washing all those loads is a lot easier now than it was in the days of the washtub and scrub board. The bad news is, between the cost of electricity, water, and detergent, it’s also a lot more expensive. Fortunately, with just a few easy tricks, you can cut the cost of your weekly wash by half or even more. And don’t worry – none of them involve hauling your clothes to the nearest river and beating them against a rock. Your Cost Per Load The cost to do a load of laundry varies widely depending on where and how you do it. If you use a coin-operated machine, what you pay per load is pretty much fixed. But if you wash at home, your choices make a big difference."

Follow Question2 Great Question Asked by janbb ( 52008 ) February 10th, 2011For those of you who use oil to heat your home, how much do you use per month? If you could also mention how big your house is and what temperature you set your house at, it would be very helpful. Share Question Flag as...energy homes heat Observing members: 0 Composing members: 014 Answer s We used 130 gallons last month, but that was a little more than usual because it was a touch colder than normal. Usually 150 gallons goes about 45 days. The house is a 24’X60’ raised ranch. We set the thermostat at 58–60 when we’re gone or in bed and 68 when we’re home. We also have an electric heater and an electric mock fireplace in the living room that work very well. The conmbination of the electric bill and the oil bill are less since we got the fireplace, plus it looks nice. Adirondackwannabe ( 36538) “Great Answer” ( 2 ) Flag as… ¶Ugh."

"text": "LG DLHX4072V clothes dryer Residential clothes dryers aren’t known for their efficiency, which is why they’re not yet part of the federal government’s Energy Star program. Yet LG has announced a dryer that the company claims will be up to 50 percent more efficient than a standard model. The LG DLHX4072V uses a heat-pump exchange system to achieve its target efficiency. Dryers typically lose 20 to 25 percent of their heat through the dryer vent, according to figures from the Environmental Protection Agency, but this model includes components that recycle wasted heat energy. Expected to ship by the summer, the LG DLHX4072V should cost between $1,500 and $1,600. In our reader surveys, LG has been among the most reliable brands of electric clothes dryers, and it was the least repair prone brand of gas clothes dryer. LG's Smart Diagnosis feature Should you run into a problem with the LG, the company’s Smart Diagnosis feature lets you diagnose it by pressing a sequence of buttons while holding your smart phone’s mouthpiece close to the power button. In addition to getting troubleshooting tips that might avoid a service call, any service you do get should be cheaper since you didn’t need a professional’s visit to determine the trouble. You can also use your smart phone to download additional cycles to your LG washer. Another clothes-dryer innovation we saw from LG: models that can open either from the side or from the top for greater flexibility in loading and unloading."

Email Save Comment 35 Like Comments (35)cleanteamofny I have both setup in my house and the gas dryer is gentler than my electric. As for speed, the electric wins because it's in a warm room and the gas dryer is in the garage so it takes a little longer. Both will get the job done but you must find out which one is cost effecient to run!Like Save January 13, 2012 at 10:08AMdan_no_9Yes, that's primarily what I'm wondering - about the efficiency.1 Like Save January 13, 2012 at 10:57AMfastonetime I changed from gas to electric about 6 months back. I really have not noticed a hike in my electric bill. I live in california, also i noticed that the electric heat is more a \"\"dry\"\" heat and the clothes seem to get done a little faster than with a gas dryer, just from my experiance though. Also when i went to the city, where i pay electric bills, they said new electric dryers are not like the electric dryers of the past. As mine has sensor dry, which i always use, so that i don't over use the electricity when i dry. I really like the electric so far!1 Like Save January 13, 2012 at 12:02PMlarsi_gw I've tried both gas and electric dryers, and in my opinion...electric wins every time. Electric dryers are quieter, make me feel safer not knowing a huge blow torch is heating air to dry my clothes and our electric bill did not change much at all, when we switched from gas to electric."

"text": "Clothes dryers are really quite basic. There’s a big drum spun by an electric motor whereby heat is generated in one of two ways; gas vs electricity. Gas dryers tend to dry the clothes slightly faster, but only by a few minutes. So the question isn’t which is more efficient than the other, because they are both about the same. The question is operating costs. What does make a difference is how much it costs to create the heat which drys your clothes. And that’s what we’re going to focus on. The cost of electricity and natural gas vary greatly depending on where you live, so this is where you will have to do your homework. Go get an electric bill and a gas bill. Find the cost per kilowatt (k Wh) and the cost per Therm (might also be measured in CCF) and write them down."

"text": "\"By The Good Housekeeping Institute Sep 7, 2011Mark Lund/Studio D The newest crop of clothes dryers on the market today offer way more than just drying power. Even the most basic machines come with moisture sensors built in, to prevent over-drying and wear and tear on fabrics. Steam and sanitizing cycles are now increasingly common to freshen and remove allergens from clothing, along with advanced cycles for bedding, toys, delicates, and other items that require special care. And you can set the dryer just the way you want it; today's machines offer more customizable programs and features built in to accommodate your family's specific laundry needs. But before you make a big investment, there are plenty of factors and features to consider. Gas or electric? The most basic decision has probably already been made for you by the contractor that built your house. Dryers come in either gas or electric models and your home hookup will dictate which type you'll have to go with. ( Electric dryers require a 220V outlet while gas dryers require a gas connection and a 120V outlet for installation.) Gas dryers use slightly less energy (though the unit itself will come at a small premium), so if you're building a new home, a gas hookup may be worth considering."

"text": "September 25, 2014Everywhere but Northeast, fewer homes choose natural gas as heating fuel Source: U. S. Energy Information Administration, based on Census Bureau American Community Survey Note: Geographic areas based on Census regions. LPG is liquefied petroleum gas. On a national basis, natural gas has long been the dominant choice for primary heating fuel in the residential sector. Lately, electricity has been gaining market share while natural gas, distillate fuel oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas (propane) have declined. Part of the national change in heating fuel choice can be attributed to population migrations farther west and south. But even within Census regions, electricity has been gaining market share at the expense of natural gas. The Northeast is the exception, as both natural gas and electricity have been increasing while distillate fuel oil and kerosene have declined. In the Midwest, most homes are heated by natural gas. The Midwest also has the highest percentage of homes heated by propane, although both natural gas and propane have lost market share to electricity since 2005. The South is the only Census region where electricity is the main space heating fuel in the majority of homes."

In fact, the rule of thumb for apartment dwellers is to budget at least $200 per month for utilities. 1Considering the average consumer will spend 7% of their annual income on energy, 2 it’s important to know where all of that money’s going. Let’s take a look at what you should be paying for your utilities—and we’ll show you how you can trim your energy costs along the way. Heating and cooling: Why is it the biggest utility expense? According to the US Department of Energy, the typical US family spends at least $2,200 per year on energy bills 3 —with nearly half of that paying for heating and cooling. 4This might seem like a large chunk of change, but these costs all depend on where you live, the size of your house or apartment, and (most importantly) whether you make smart decisions about conserving energy. A bigger house often means a bigger bill Let’s start with size. For apartments, the median size in multifamily units is 1,074 square feet. 5 A smaller apartment—if it has modern windows and is properly insulated —will cost less than a large home to keep warm during the winter and cool in the summer."

"text": "Living Off the Grid: How to Generate Your Own Electricity By: Bob Ritzman Our off the grid house near Anaconda, Montana Taking the Alternative Energy Plunge When my wife and I moved to Montana last year, we found a comfortable home on several acres with a view of the mountains. There was only one hitch – the house was off the grid. In fact, everyone in the subdivision generated their own power, including the bed and breakfast nearby. That doesn’t mean it was primitive. The house had solar panels, a wind turbine, a battery bank and inverter, a generator, and a full range of appliances including washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, satellite TV, propane furnace, and even a dishwasher. Since I had operated a cogeneration power plant before coming to Montana, I wasn’t too concerned about generating my own electric power, so we bought the house. Solar panel with tracker Life Off the Grid The previous owner showed me the critical facilities and told me how to operate them. When we moved in we put CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) in every light socket, programmed the thermostat to automatically lower the temperature at night, and made sure to turn off the lights when we left a room. We thought we had everything under control. On our third night in the house, we went to bed as usual to the faint sound of wind outside, a sound we were already beginning to enjoy because it generated most of our power."

Full-size washers and dryers Side-by-side: This common layout works equally well for all washer and dryer types. Most often, the washing machine is on the left with the dryer to the right for one simple reason — door hinges. The typical dryer is hinged on the right, so by positioning it on that side, the door opens out of your way as you transfer wet clothes from the washer. ( If you prefer to flip this around, many dryers do offer reversible hinges. For the washer half, though, you will most likely need to choose a top-load design, as few front-load models feature reversible or right-side hinges. )"

"text": "\"By Judy Hedding Updated 10/07/17Share Pin Email•••Although we use electricity all year long, it is clear that the biggest challenge Phoenix area residents have is saving money on those summertime electric bills. And summer lasts quite a long time here! Not only do we use 50% more electricity to cool our homes in the summer, but electric rates are higher in the summer due to higher demands and higher operating costs of providing that electricity. One of the ways you might be able to save some money on your electric bill is to enroll in a rate plan that rewards people for using more electricity during off peak hours. For homes in the Phoenix area that are provided electricity by Arizona Public Service (APS), a rate plan that rewards people who use more of their electricity during non-peak periods is called the Time Advantage plan. This allows the utility to better distribute energy to everyone in the Valley of the Sun who need it. This may mean that during certain times of the day, you shouldn't run certain appliances, like the washer and dryer, or the dishwasher, if the chore can wait until the non-peak hours. You may also want to regulate your home's temperature at least a few degrees up or down based on peak and non-peak hours. For many homes in the 1,500 to 2,500 square foot range, there are two plans to consider. The Time Advantage Plan will generate savings on your utility bill if you can use more energy in the late evening or early morning hours."

"text": "To some outdoor cooking aficionados, nothing tastes better then meat that has been properly smoked. Including all the herbs and types of fuels used to smoke the meat and give it flavor, these outdoor chefs also get quite involved in the tools used for smoking. So it is no great surprise that there is a debate on the viability of electric smokers vs. gas smokers. Temperature Management With gas smokers, if the container is kept clean the temperature can be managed quite easily, maintaining a constant temperature throughout the cooking period. This only gets disrupted by burned residue that can cause hot spots. Keeping the system clean avoids this problem. Gas smokers do fine in cold weather, and warm up within about 10 minutes to a proper heat level if the lid is kept closed. An electric smoker can also maintain temperature fairly well but, unlike gas, it won't fluctuate inside the smoker because of hot spots. The electrical grid has safety features that will regulate or restrict the system from getting hotter. In cold weather, however, electrical smokers seem to have problems maintaining a decent heat level for cooking."

Dating back to the early 1980s, Joe Traeger’s company first experimented with using wood pellets as fuel for a BBQ smoker as an offshoot of the home heating furnaces he was selling locally that used pellets. As time passed, a thermostat was added to the equation, and the production BBQ smokers fueled by pellets working in “set it and forget it” fashion was in full force."

Even a blind man could see, in the face of all the evidence, that smoking DOES damage your lungs while smoking and continues to damage your lungs after quitting smoking too. It also has a flow-on effect to your whole body causing harm to many systems. And it does this to a greater extent, and faster, the more you smoke and the longer you keep smoking. The following is a list of the major damage that you could have done to your body by smoking. You have to accept that you did this, take responsibility for it, and then apply yourself to the task of making it as right as you can.

"text": "\"By Meathead Goldwyn Smoke is the essence of barbecue. It is what differentiates barbecue from other types of cooking. \"\"' When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes.' Song 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'\"\" by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach, performed by The Platters Originally all barbecue and grilling was done with logs of dried hardwood as the sole fuel source. Heat cooked the meat, and smoke from the wood and from dripping juices imparted a distinctive seductive scent that is the essence of barbecue. But it is difficult to control the heat and flavor when cooking with logs, so today, only a few expert pitmasters outfitted with special rigs cook with logs only. Today, most grills and smokers use charcoal or gas to produce the heat, although a few use wood pellets or electricity. They get flavor and aroma from the addition of wood in the form of wood chips, chunks, bisquettes, pellets, logs, or sawdust. When heated, they make smoke. Smoke can also come from meat drippings, which are laden with fat, protein, spices, and even sugars from sauces."

These smoking chips are available in a variety of flavors and are used for several different kinds of meat. Some flavors that the best wood chips come in include apple, pecan, alder, peach, orange and cherry, plus oak, hickory, mesquite or even Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Barrel. Cheap wood chips can be used in all types of grills include gas, charcoal or electric. When you are using charcoal these wood chips are put over a pile of hot coals to make the smoke. With an electric smoker or gas grill, the wood chips are put in a smoker box where they are held while they burn slowly to make an environment inside the unit which is smoky. Some believe that soaking your wood chips before using them in cooking will make the chips last longer. However, this is not true, and these best wood chips for grilling are used in either way totally dry. Soaking the wood beforehand will only let the chips steam and not let them put off their true flavor. So what types of woods should you be using?"

People inhale the fumes and this leads to intoxication. This type of inhalant abuse is associated with poverty. In recent years it has been a great concern in Australia because of the number of aboriginal community members who have been involved in this form of substance abuse. Sniffing petrol can be lethal, and it is already responsible for many deaths around the world. The Effects of Sniffing Gasoline Hydrocarbons in petrol depress the central nervous system an this can create a state similar to alcohol intoxication. Lead adds to the effect of intoxication. Even unleaded gasoline can still contain small traces of lead. This can increase the ability of the substance to produce hallucinations. It doesn’t take long to become intoxicated from sniffing petrol; usually not more than five minutes, and people will feel the effects after just one minute."

The moment the liquid spills on your car, body, or carpet, its stench will remain for days, until a proper solution is applied. Soap and water won’t do much against gasoline smell, so you have to apply special measures. Good thing such remedies are not hard to find. A visit to the kitchen or the hardware store should do the trick. Effects of Gasoline Fumes Before dealing with the removal of gasoline fumes, you should know what it can do to your health. The fumes, once inhaled for long periods, can damage your respiratory system, particularly your lungs. They can also affect your brain, causing hallucinations after prolonged exposure. Gasoline smell is clearly dangerous, so you should get rid of it at the soonest time possible. Remove Gasoline Smell from Your Body Gasoline, composed of harmful chemicals, leaves a pretty strong odor, even at the slightest contact."

Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: The liquid gasoline is not combustible - it's the fumes that may ignite. When it is hotter, gasoline produces more fumes and if there is a spark it can go off (and gas doesn't just burn, it explodes). But it will not self-ignite without a spark. Gas should always be stored in an approved, sealed container. An open container like a kitchen pot will fill the garage with fumes. The motor oil won't keep down the fumes so it won't make storing gasoline that way any safer."

Crude oil is a dark yellow-to-black oily liquid that is usually found in natural underground reservoirs. It was formed when the remains of animals and plants from millions of years ago were covered by layers of sand. Heat and pressure from these layers turned the remains into crude oil.

[ 1] They are inhaled at room temperature through volatilization (in the case of gasoline or acetone) or from a pressurized container (e.g., nitrous oxide or butane ), and do not include drugs that are sniffed after burning or heating. For example, amyl nitrite (poppers), nitrous oxide and toluene – a solvent widely used in contact cement and model airplane glue – are considered inhalants, but smoking tobacco, cannabis, and crack are not, even though these drugs are inhaled as smoke. [ 2] [3]While a small number of inhalants are prescribed by medical professionals and used for medical purposes, as in the case of nitrous oxide (an anxiolytic and pain relief agent prescribed by dentists), this article focuses on inhalant use of household and industrial propellants, glues, fuels and other products in a manner not intended by the manufacturer, to produce intoxication or other psychoactive effects."

Respirators and dust masks aren’t all the same – there are different kinds to choose from, as well as a rating system for efficiency. At home and around the workshop, either a particulate filter (dust mask) or chemical cartridge respirator are likely to be all you’ll need. N95 and R95 particulate masks. Particulate Filters Particulate filters, including disposable dust masks, are the most common type of air-purifying device for home use. Particulate filters can be disposable or reusable with replaceable filters. They cover your nose and mouth and provide protection from airborne particles – including dust, mists, liquids, and some fumes – but not gases or vapors. Particulate filters are rated by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) according to what, and how much, they filter out."

"text": "\"General Information Symptoms and Causes Prevention and Treatment References Poisoning and Toxicitybackground Poisoning and toxicity occurs when individuals drink, eat, breathe, inject, or touch enough of a chemical (also called a poison or toxin) to cause illness or death. A poison is any substance that is harmful to the body when eaten, breathed, injected, or absorbed through the skin. Any substance can be poisonous if enough is taken. Poisoning is the most common cause of nonfatal accidents in the home. More than two million people suffer some type of poisoning each year in the United States. Drugs, including prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), and illegal drugs, are the most common source of serious poisonings and poisoning-related deaths. Most poisonings involve everyday household items such as cleaning supplies, drugs, cosmetics, and personal care items. Other common poisons include gases, agricultural products, plants, industrial chemicals, vitamins, and foods (such as raw or undercooked meats). However, almost any substance ingested in sufficiently large quantities can be toxic. Infants and young children are especially vulnerable due to their weight and size."

"text": "Evaporative Emission Control Canister Replacement Service What is the Evaporative Emission Control Canister all about? Have you ever been around a vintage or classic car that emanated a raw fuel odor, yet no leaks were apparent? Gasoline vapors are very harmful if inhaled; they contain damaging chemicals such as benzene and toluene, which can cause headaches, nausea, and breathing problems. Vehicle manufacturers are required to limit the amount of fuel vapors that can be emitted from a vehicle. The evaporative emissions system consists of a charcoal canister, valves, hoses and a sealed fuel cap. When fuel vapors are produced inside the fuel tank due to evaporation, they are collected inside the charcoal canister, or evaporative emission control canister. At a time determined by the engine control module, the fumes collected in the charcoal canister are purged through a valve and sent into the engine to burn as part of the air/fuel mixture. Dust and dirt from regular driving conditions can accumulate on the emission control canister, causing the purge and vent solenoids or valves to fail. It is also possible for the charcoal canister itself to crack either due to impact or harsh environmental conditions. When this happens, raw fuel or fuel vapors are lost into the environment around your vehicle, and a noticeable fuel smell can occur."

There are fewer loon sightings to report today, compared to 119 in our last report. Just about all loons are back on territory, filling the north with their haunting calls and brilliant colors. A few stragglers are still arriving in the far north, but for the most part they're settling into nesting. Time for Nesting and Nurseries During breeding, loons need suitable nest sites. A loon pair prefers building their nest where it floats or is at the water's edge by a drop off steep enough so they can arrive and depart underwater. The best nest sites also include some overhead cover to hide eggs from the eyes of avian predators, and shelter from wind and waves. If a pair loses an egg or chick to predation, they make a replacement nest in a new site. Courtesy of James A. Anderson Loons work on building their nests all through incubation, and nests are often used over again."

B lackened buildings and choking streets—if that's your experience when you open the front door in the morning, you probably live in a big city like Los Angeles, London, Paris, or Beijing. Cars, buses, and trucks have been a great gift to the world, because they help us move ourselves (and the things we need) quickly and efficiently. But their engine pollution spoils the places where we live and harms our health. Fortunately, most vehicles are now fitted with pollution-reducing units called catalytic converters (sometimes known as \"\"cats\"\" or \"\"cat-cons\"\"), which turn the harmful chemicals in vehicle exhausts into harmless gases such as steam.

"text": "\"Are Geckos Poisonous to Dogs?by Jen Davis Dog Care » Food Geckos are fairly small and mostly harmless lizards. Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images Y our dog is likely to encounter more than one gecko during his lifespan, especially if you regularly let your dogs play outside or if you own a gecko as a pet. Dogs are naturally curious, so if your dog finds a gecko, he may try to play with the lizard when he comes across it -- or he may assume it's lunch. Eating a gecko can pose a hazard to your dog's health. Geckos are Not Poisonous None of the various types of geckos are considered poisonous. Geckos do not produce any type of poison or venom on their skin or inside their mouths. Because geckos are not poisonous, the chances of your dog being seriously sickened due to coming into contact with one are relatively low. Gecko Bites Geckos are not poisonous but their mouths do contain bacteria and they can deliver a fairly nasty bite. If your dog is bitten by a gecko and it breaks the skin, you'll need to take your dog to a veterinarian. The wound will need to be cleaned thoroughly and your dog may be prescribed an antibiotic."

Humans and captive animals can become infected when drinking contaminated water (and the majority of municipal water supplies do not eradicate or kill Cryptosporidium, nor do most water purification devices people attached to their faucets or main water lines). When herp keepers feed their captive herps wild-caught prey, they are also exposing their herps to the risk of Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium can be relatively benign in healthy humans and animals, but can be deadly in those who are immunocompromised and otherwise considered to be at high risk for bacterial, viral and parasitic infections. Since captive herps, especially wild-caught ones, are always stressed to some degree, feeding wild-caught prey increases their risk of contracting parasites.

"text": "\"THE ARTS OF DECEPTION: MIMICRY AND CAMOUFLAGEBy Rhett Butler | Last updated July 31, 2012MIMICRYThere are three forms of mimicry utilized by both predator and prey: Batesian mimicry, Muellerian mimicry, and self-mimicry. Mimicry refers to the similarities between animal species; camouflage refers to an animal species resembling an inanimate object. Batesian Mimicry Batesian mimicry is named for Henry Walter Bates, a British scientist who studied mimicry in Amazonian butterflies during the mid- and late nineteenth century. Batesian mimicry refers to two or more species that are similar in appearance, but only one of which is armed with spines, stingers, or toxic chemistry, while its apparent double lacks these traits. The second species has no defense other than resembling the unpalatable species and is afforded protection from certain predators by its resemblance to the unpalatable species, which the predator associates with a certain appearance and a bad experience. Examples of Batesian mimicry are the several species of butterflies that mimic the toxic Heliconid butterflies. Another fascinating butterfly mimic is the non-toxic Papilio memmon of Indonesia. Each female butterfly (regardless of her coloration) can produce one or more different female forms which mimic any of five other species of foul-tasting butterflies. Batesian mimicry is also found in venomous coral snakes and the harmless milk and king snakes of the New World. Both snakes are marked with alternating yellow, red, and black bands causing possible predators to avoid both."

Answered Jan 31, 2018 · Author has 5.3k answers and 16.2m answer views House geckos are beneficial animals that eat pest insects. So, first decide whether you’d rather have house geckos, or roaches, spiders, etc. Choose one. If you’ve decided you really don’t want house geckos, the best you can do is make sure your foundations don’t have any gaps. Windows, doors, etc, also shouldn’t have any gaps that a lizard can sneak through. If you install some metal flashing around your door frames, you may be able to prevent lizards from quickly sidling over the edge when you open the door, or you could install a double-entry system that will enable you to collect them before they get into the actual house. Lizards don’t care about repellents. They’re interested in bugs and hiding places, not weird smells. Poisoning them will do your health more harm than they will (plus, it’s mean — these are surprisingly intelligent vertebrate animals, fully capable of feeling pain and distress)."

"text": "\"Bug Season is Back…Are Stink Bugs Poisonous to Dogs?by raisingdaisy on April 29, 2011I’m not a fan of bugs, especially spiders. YUCK. The very word makes my stomach turn. Image via Wikipedia And that’s the one thing I dislike most about spring and summer – the bugs emerge, bigger and more resistant to pesticides every year. They get into the house who-knows-how and I swear they laugh as they terrorize me. Why on earth are spiders getting so darned BIG??! I heard last year that because summers here in the northeast are hotter and more humid than ever, bugs are growing bigger, more like tropical bugs. I need to move to Alaska. We’ve already gotten four stink bugs in the house, far more than typically come into the house in an entire spring/summer season. Stink bugs are the skunks of the insect world."

"text": "1 Start handling your gecko when it is young. When you first buy your leo, it will need some time to adjust to its new home. Let it sit in its tank for max a day unless it's very stressed, then give it some more time so it can explore and get comfortable. Don’t feel bad if, once it checks out its home, it doesn’t come out of its favorite hiding spot for a while. Having said that, the earlier you familiarize yourself with your gecko, the better, as geckos who are handled and played with at a young age are generally much more calm and loving when held at a later age. An ideal age to begin playing with your gecko is when it is five to six months old, but any age that it is comfortable with humans is good as long as it's not still a hatchling.2 Understand that your gecko might be a little creeped out by you. In the wild, anything as large as we are would be considered a threat by any lizard. So don't feel bad if your gecko takes a little while to warm up to you. Don’t rush your gecko. If you are antsy to begin handling and playing with your gecko, comfort yourself by learning all about your leo."

Answer by Tokay Gecko Confidence votes 1.6KI enjoy breeding reptiles. Specializing in tokays and cresteds When a leopard gecko is in distress, grabbed by the tail, having the tail stuck and forced to release it, the tails are fragile and can very easily be lost. If this happens, the leopard gecko has the ability to regenerate a new tail. This newer tail is usually not the exact same shape or size as a \"\"original tail\"\". ( Original tails on geckos are looked at in most cases, to be a higher valued animal.) During the period that your leopard gecko is growing another tail, it is important to ensure the animal is receiving proper nutrition. This includes: feeding appropriate feeders, gut loading feeders, coating feeders in calcium and ensuring the animal is being fed 3 - 4 times a week.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Vitamin Soft Gels and Tablets Differencesby RICK ROCKWELL Oct. 03, 2017Vitamins, which are essential to the body, can come in various forms including tablets and soft gel capsules. The differences between soft gel caps and tablets range from size to rate of absorption. In addition, some people prefer soft gel caps because they are easily swallowed due to their slick exterior. But others find it hard to swallow soft gel caps because they are usually larger than a tablet. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Soft Gel Caps Substances mixed with low amounts of a neutral gelatin and then placed inside a pliable capsule made of digestible gelatin constitute a soft gel capsule. The gelatin used in gel caps is a common food additive found in gelatin desserts and marshmallows. According to the Natural Products Insider website, this gelatin is originally a powder that is blended with glycerin and water. Once the mixture is thick enough, it is molded into a gel cap and filled with a substance. This type of pill is quickly dissolved in the stomach, leading to rapid absorption of the nutrient or medicine within the body. Tablets Tablets can be any size, ranging from the size of a thumbtack to an inch in length."

To make up for this, extra fluoride may be added to the diet. Some children may require both dietary fluoride and topical fluoride treatments by the dentist. Use of a fluoride toothpaste or rinse may be helpful as well. Taking extra oral fluoride does not replace good dental habits. These include eating a good diet, brushing and flossing the teeth often, and having regular dental checkups. Fluoride may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

"text": "Health Beauty: Skin, Hair & Nails Top 6 Vitamins for Hair Growth (#2 Is Essential)Top 6 Vitamins for Hair Growth (#2 Is Essential)5536 51 10791The appearance of hair plays an important role in people’s physical appearance and self-perception, so it can be devastating to experience hair loss, especially when there doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about it. But did you know that there are vitamins for hair growth? In fact, poor nutrition, including vitamin deficiencies, is a major factor of hair loss. These natural hair loss remedies work to fix the root of the problem, like regulating your hormone levels or fighting oxidative stress that increases with age. Fewer than 45 percent of women go through life with a full head of hair while a majority of men go through some type of hair loss in their lifetimes. The hair care industry knows that consumers have a great desire to look youthful now more than ever so it constantly delivers new products that promise to promote hair growth. Before you spend your money on yet another product that may leave you disappointed, try using these vitamins for hair growth (or hair vitamins as I sometimes call them) first.6 Vitamins for Hair Growth The truth is that hair loss is a complex process that involves various genetic, hormonal and environmental mechanisms. Just like our skin, the hair follicle is subject to intrinsic and extrinsic aging. Intrinsic factors include our genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, and extrinsic factors include smoking and UV radiation. Sometimes hair loss is due to a vitamin deficiency too."

Show your support Upper back pain is not usually as serious as lower back pain and occurs more infrequently. As with lower back pain, upper back pain can be caused by a muscular injury or certain lifestyle factors such as being overweight or not exercising enough. Here, our muscle and joint expert Earle Logan discusses the symptoms of back pain and how it can be treated using herbal remedies and self-help techniques. Earle talks about: Upper back pain An introduction to upper back pain Upper back pain may also be known as a stiff neck. It is a form of back pain or spinal pain which is a much less common problem than lower back pain. Nevertheless, when it occurs, pain in the upper part of the spine can make the neck and shoulders stiff and uncomfortable, limiting movement. Like lower back pain, there are many causes of pain in the upper back and often, the precise origin of the pain is not always clear. Mechanical disruption of joints and muscles of the neck and shoulders are perhaps the most common ‘non-specific’ causes, followed by muscle or joint injuries. Sometimes, upper back pain or a stiff neck can give rise to headaches, particularly if the pain is in the neck."

Ulcers are typically found inside the mouth and are not contagious, while Fever blisters are found outside, typically on the lips, and are very contagious. Fever blisters are caused by the herpes virus, and are most effectively treated by acyclovir, denovir or penciclovir. The discussion here will concern the cause and treatment of Apthous ulcers, which is much more controversial. The following comments have been collected over the years from dentists on the Internet dental forum. Some comments are anecdotal. Some have research to back up the assertions.

Home remedy treatments like yogurt and garlic are inexpensive and extremely effective methods to cure yeast infections. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, a naturally occurring fungus. When something (like antibiotics, stress or diabetes) causes an imbalance between the yeast and other organisms, the yeast multiply, causing the infection with all its burning, itching misery. More than four infections a year makes it particularly important to search for the underlying cause. Home Remedies for Yeast Infections Home treatments are directed at instant relief, but a holistic approach involving lifestyle changes and detoxifying the body can give more permanent control. Because an imbalance in the body’s natural bacteria causes the yeast infection, a healthy diet should reduce the frequency of future outbreaks. Yogurt Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium is found in healthy vaginas and kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Buy a good quality plain yogurt, insert into vagina and get almost instant relief while it starts to work.

It is a cyclic and progressive disease which affects millions of patients, primarily women, regardless of race. Manifested by multiple symptoms that may initially last only a few days, it eventually progresses to affect multiple areas and bodily systems until patients simply cycle from bad to worse. At present, there are no diagnostic laboratory tests for fibromyalgia. Our recent research paper reported several abnormal cytokines that change during the course of our treatment. [ 1] Patients are often referred from one doctor to another, and told that they have chronic fatigue, systemic candidiasis, myofascial pain, irritable bowel or vulvar pain syndrome. Too often, physician and patient focus on symptoms and fail to perceive the much larger problem. These dead-end diagnoses result in the treatment of symptoms which is only partially effective and at the same time ignores the underlying cause and the disease that continues to worsen over time. Fibromyalgia has no set symptoms and many combinations from the following list are interwoven: Central Nervous System: Fatigue, irritability, nervousness, depression, apathy, listlessness, impaired memory and concentration, anxieties and suicidal thoughts.

This week I switched to psyllium husk powder, but can't seem to find a decent way to make it taste good. Up to this point I've been taking 4 tbsp every morning, mixing with water. I've gone from going to the bathroom 5 times a day to 3, still not solid, but am very happy with the urgency improvement. How do those of you that take psyllium powder make it more bearable without losing the effects? Thanks Back to Top MOMUC19 Regular Member Date Joined Sep 2010 Total Posts : 155Posted 10/14/2010 3:27 PM (GMT -6)I mix it in applesauce for my daughter. She is currently only taking 1 tspn. I litterally mix it right before she is about to eat the apple sauce otherwise the applesauce gets sooo thick it's hard to get down."

Rest assured that in a week or two, your canker sore will most likely be history, and you can chomp a chip, drink a cup of joe, or smooch your spouse without regretting it. Meanwhile, here are ways to blunt the pain and become a sore loser faster. Seal the Sore Over-the-counter products such as Zilactin-B Canker Sore Gel and Colgate Orabase Soothe-N-Seal form a long-lasting protective coating over the sore to speed healing and provide fast pain relief. A form of licorice known as deglycyrrhizinated licorice, or DGL, also coats canker sores. It’s available in health food stores. Chew one or two 200-milligram tablets two or three times a day. The sap of aloe vera — the ubiquitous “first aid plant”– can bring welcome relief. Squeeze a bit of gel from an aloe vera leaf. Dry the sore with a cotton swab, then dab on the gel."

BRCA1/2 and other inherited gene mutations can be passed to you from either parent and can affect the risk of cancers in both women and men. The risk from different types of inherited gene mutations can vary greatly. Some slightly increase breast cancer risk, while others (such as BRCA1/2 mutations) greatly increase risk. Inherited mutations known to increase the risk of breast cancer are rare in the general population. Most breast cancer are not caused by genetic factors. In the U.

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Laboratory Medicine BRAF Gene Mutation Tests Updated: May 31, 2017Author: Sherilyn Alvaran Tuazon, MD; Chief Editor: Eric B Staros, MD more... Print Reference Range BRAF gene mutation testing has emerged as an important tool for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and predicting patient outcome in response to targeted therapy for multiple cancer types. The BRAF gene mutation test result is positive (ie, a mutation is present) if V600E is found in the BRAF gene. V600E is the most common gene mutation for the BRAF gene and is the most common mutation tested for in clinical laboratories. Interpretation BRAF and melanoma Approximately 40-60% of cutaneous melanomas carry mutations in the BRAF gene. About 90% of these mutations are found to be V600E. [ 1]Vemurafenib (PLX4032) is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of BRAF V600E. It has marked antitumor effects against melanoma cell lines with the BRAF V600E mutation but not against cells with wild-type (non-mutated) BRAF. Evidence exists that vemurafenib improves overall and progression-free survival in patients with advanced melanoma with the V600E mutation. [ 2] Thus, establishing whether BRAF mutations exist in melanoma is now of critical therapeutic importance. [ 3]BRAF and colorectal cancer BRAF mutation testing will likely be increasingly used in the management of colorectal cancer, as more evidence emerges regarding its usefulness. [ 4, 5] Some indication exists that BRAF mutation testing may be used to evaluate the likelihood of having hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome versus sporadic colorectal cancer. Distinguishing HNPCC from sporadic colon cancer with MSI-H is important because patients with HNPCC and their family members can be offered genetic counseling and provided with opportunities to prevent such second cancers through close surveillance and prophylactic surgery.

"text": "In the first decades of medical genetics, both physicians and patients associated this field with uncommon diseases, relevant only to specialists and those affected. This is no longer so: our understanding of the genetics underlying susceptibility to common disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and various cancers, is bringing genetics into not only the medical mainstream, but also the public mainstream. Moreover, molecular methods are becoming important in the diagnosis and classification of malignant disease, as well as in determining prognosis and monitoring response to therapy. This paper describes current methods of studying the changes that underlie inherited and acquired disease and concludes with discussion of a technique that is generating excitement while still in development, the use of DNA microarrays or “chips. ”How does DNA encode information? The gene is the fundamental unit of genetic information. 1 Each gene is a DNA sequence — tens to millions of nucleotide bases in length and bounded by recognized control regions — which produces one or several related proteins. Genetic information is encoded by the sequence of the bases along a single strand of DNA; the bases are therefore often regarded as the alphabet forming the words, phrases and sentences of the “genetic instruction manual.” When 2 DNA strands combine to form a double helix, the nucleotide bases of one strand associate one-to-one with those on the other ( Fig. 1 A); genetic information is transmitted by the geometry of pairing of the bases in this double helix."

How are these different than oncogenes, and what role do they play in the development of cancer and hereditary cancer? Definition: Tumor Suppressor Genes Tumor suppressor genes are genes that regulate the growth of cells. When these genes are functioning properly, they can prevent and inhibit the growth of tumors. When tumor suppressor genes are altered or inactivated (due to a mutation), they lose the ability to make a protein that controls cell growth. Cells can then grow uncontrolled and develop into a cancer. Types of Tumor Suppressor Genes There are 3 main types of tumor suppressor genes. One type tells cells to slow down and stop dividing."

"text": "\"Frameshift mutationsby Namrata Chhabra · March 9, 2015Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder due to a frameshift mutation in the muscle protein “Dystrophin”. The patients have proximal muscle weakness and muscle fibrosis, with death occurring as a result of cardiac or respiratory failure. Which ‘one’ of the following statements correctly describes a frameshift mutation? A. The frameshift mutations occur due to substitution of the base analogs B. The reading frame beyond the mutation remains unaltered C. A frameshift mutation may not produce effects due to degeneracy of the genetic code D. Insertion or deletion of three nucleotides does not alter the reading frame beyond the site E. There is always a premature termination of the growing peptide chain due to generation of stop codon. Details The correct answer is D- Insertion or deletion of three nucleotides does not alter the reading frame beyond the site. Basic concept Mutations A mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutations may be either gross, so that large areas of chromosome are changed, or may be subtle with a change in one or a few nucleotides. Causes of mutations1) Spontaneous Spontaneous mutations on the molecular level include: Tautomerism – A base is changed by the repositioning of a hydrogen atom Depurination – Loss of a purine base (A or G)Deamination – Changes a normal base to an atypical base; Cytosine → Uracil, (which can be corrected by DNA repair mechanisms), or Adenine → Hypoxanthine. Transition – A purine changes to another purine, or a pyrimidine to a pyrimidine. Transversion – A purine becomes a pyrimidine, or vice versa.2) Induced by Mutagens Induced mutations on the molecular level can be caused by: Chemicals Nitroso compounds Hydroxylamine ( NH 2 OH)Base analogs Simple chemicals (e.g. acids)Alkylating agents Methylating agents Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons e.g. benzopyrenes DNA intercalating agents (e.g. ethidium bromide)DNA cross linker (e.g. platinum)Oxidative damage caused by free radicals Radiation Ultraviolet radiation (nonionizing radiation) –Ionizing radiation Biological- Viruses Classification of mutations Structurally, mutations can be classified as: A) Point mutations, often caused by chemicals or malfunction of DNA replication, and include single nucleotide changes Substitution exchange a single nucleotide for another."

"text": "Gene Mutation vs Chromosome Mutation Mutations are the changes that occur in the genetic material of organisms, and those take place due to various reasons. Gene mutations and chromosome mutations are the two basic types of mutations, and those vary from each other mainly in the magnitude of the alteration. Mutations take place mainly because of erratic steps in regulation of DNA replication and transcription, exposure to radiations, and viruses. However, mutations may or may not be favourable for the persistence in the world over a long time. Individuals or populations with favourable genes will survive while the others are eliminated through natural selection. Gene Mutation Gene mutation is a small-scale alteration of the genetic material of an organism, which primarily is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a particular gene. These changes are of two types based on the way those take place. Point mutations and frame shift mutations are the two main types, but the frame shift mutations take place as either deletions or insertions. When a nucleotide of a particular gene is changed, the transcribe m RNA and the subsequent codons and synthesized amino acids are altered. However, there are few other sub types of point mutations known as Transition, Transversion, Silent, Missense, and Nonsense."

The gene for total baldness is epistatic to those for blond hair or red hair. The hair-colour genes are hypostatic to the baldness gene. The baldness phenotype supersedes genes for hair colour and so the effects are non-additive. [ citation needed]Epistasis is the phenomenon where the effect of one gene ( locus) is dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes', i.e. the genetic background. Originally the term meant that the phenotypic effect of one gene is masked by a different gene (locus). [ 1] Thus, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them, leading to non-linear effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes, which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of phenotypic traits."

"text": "Genetics and CFWhat is a gene? A gene is the basic unit of heredity. Genes are responsible for the physical characteristics that each person has (like eye color, facial features, and many health conditions). Each gene occupies a certain location on a chromosome (a thread-like material that is located in the nucleus of every single cell in the body). Chromosomes come in 23 pairs, and each chromosome carries thousands of genes. What happens? Each gene has a specific role in determining how a person's body is put together and how it functions. The role of a gene is determined by its individual DNA code (deoxyribonucleic acid, the chemical coding for a gene). DNA is made up of four building blocks called bases. These bases are joined in a specific order for each gene."

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. Mutations result from errors during DNA replication (especially during Meiosis) or other types of damage to DNA (such as may be caused by exposure to radiation or carcinogens ), which then may undergo error-prone repair (especially microhomology-mediated end joining [1] ), or cause an error during other forms of repair, [2] [3] or else may cause an error during replication ( translesion synthesis ). Mutations may also result from insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements. [ 4] [5] [6] Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics ( phenotype) of an organism. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including: evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity. The genomes of RNA viruses are based on RNA rather than DNA. The RNA viral genome can be double stranded (as in DNA) or single stranded. In some of these viruses (such as the single stranded human immunodeficiency virus) replication occurs quickly and there are no mechanisms to check the genome for accuracy."

Go to: Abstract Cancers arise owing to mutations in a subset of genes that confer growth advantage. The availability of the human genome sequence led us to propose that systematic resequencing of cancer genomes for mutations would lead to the discovery of many additional cancer genes. Here we report more than 1,000 somatic mutations found in 274 megabases (Mb) of DNA corresponding to the coding exons of 518 protein kinase genes in 210 diverse human cancers. There was substantial variation in the number and pattern of mutations in individual cancers reflecting different exposures, DNA repair defects and cellular origins. Most somatic mutations are likely to be ‘passengers’ that do not contribute to oncogenesis. However, there was evidence for ‘driver’ mutations contributing to the development of the cancers studied in approximately 120 genes."

Genital warts are soft growths that appear on the genitals. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). These skin growths can cause pain, discomfort, and itching. They are especially dangerous for women because some types of HPV can also cause cancer of the cervix and vulva. HPV is the most prevalent of all STIs. This makes men and women who are sexually active vulnerable to complications of HPV, such as genital warts. In fact, approximately 360,000 people develop genital warts each year. Protection and treatment are essential in preventing this infection. Symptoms What are the symptoms of genital warts?"

Genital warts is an extremely painful condition that is visibly recognizable. If you observe bumps on your body that seem to be flesh colored or shaped like cauliflowers, you should get yourself checked for genital warts. Rather than worrying about the potential effects of this dreaded condition, the first question that comes to most people’s minds is: how long does genital warts last? Before delving into answering the question ‘how long does genital warts last?’ it is essential to examine how exactly medical professionals go about diagnosing this painful condition. Doctors normally start out by asking the patient for his or her medical history, specifically focusing on any STDs contracted in the recent past. They also ask patients whether they have received the HPV injection. If they suspect that you are in fact suffering from genital warts, doctors might rub acetic acid near your genitals where the warts are suspected."

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Definition Warts are small, benign growths caused by a viral infection of the skin or mucous membrane. The virus infects the surface layer. The viruses that cause warts are members of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts are not cancerous but some strains of HPV, usually not associated with warts, have been linked with cancer formation. Warts are contagious from person to person and from one area of the body to another on the same person. Description Particularly common among children, young adults, and women, warts are a problem for 7-10% of the population. There are close to 60 types of HPV that cause warts, each preferring a specific skin location. For instance, some types of HPV cause warts to grow on the skin, others cause them to grow inside the mouth, while still others cause them to grow on the genital and rectal areas. However, most can be active anywhere on the body."

Since many vaginal bumps have the same symptoms as STDs, it is often challenging to determine the culprit. Women should see their gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis of these bumps. However, if the vaginal bumps are not sexually transmitted, some simple over-the-counter remedies will cure or alleviate many cases. Note: This article is about vaginal bumps that itch. Although there are many other reasons one might develop bumps on the vagina, we're narrowing our focus on the causes of those that itch, starting with the most harmless and least alarming."

The skin, the largest organ of our body, is often taken for granted and treated as nothing more than an object of appreciation. It is forgotten that the skin is the first line of defence and protection for our body. Skin is a reservoir for inactivated vitamin D which gets activated on exposure to sun’s rays. The skin also functions as a barrier against cold and excretes sweat to cool the body helping maintain body temperature and electrolyte balance. The past few years have seen a steadily growing incidence of skin cancer. Skin cancer is most commonly seen in middle-aged adults and a positive family history of skin cancer is a strong risk factor. Other risk factors for skin cancer are artificial tanning, excessive sun exposure, smoking, Human Papilloma Virus infections, medications like cyclosporine and azathioprine, chronic ulcers and congenital nevi turning cancerous. The exact cause for cancer is not known. The cause for warts is an infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)."

The warts are caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 30 strains of HPV that cause warts, and some of the strains are serious and can cause some cancers, including cervical cancer.

Removing the warts does not cure the affected person of HPV, and the warts can come back at any time. Because the warts are spread through skin-to-skin contact, condoms are not always protective against warts, though condoms are a good idea to use to prevent many other sexually transmitted diseases.

Epithelial cells line body surfaces like the skin, throat, female reproductive tract and anus. They are avascular, meaning they receive nourishment through neighboring cells rather than the blood vessels. Viruses, including HPV, are primitive microorganisms that reproduce by injecting their genetic information into healthy cells. The infected cells reproduce rapidly, replicating the viruses’ DNA. Usually, the body's immune system detects and destroys these infected cells. Occasionally this doesn't happen, and the infection becomes chronic, or long-term. There are more than 100 different strains, or types, of HPV. About 40 specifically affect the genital area, including the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, cervix, rectum and scrotum. Genital forms of the disease are sexually transmitted."

STD symptoms may seem negligible at first, but many of them, when left untreated or unmanaged, can lead to serious repercussions. All sexually active people are at risk of contracting STDs. What Are STDs? Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an umbrella term used to describe the over 20 different types of infections that include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B and human papillomavirus (HPV). STDs are also known by the term “venereal disease. ”All STDs are transmitted either through oral, anal or vaginal intercourse, and sometimes through the non-sexual exchange of blood and other bodily fluids with an infected person. They may also be passed on by direct skin contact with the infected sore body parts of a person with the disease. It is estimated that all over the world, hundreds of millions of new STD cases are reported each year. STD cases are higher for males than for females, although female patients tend to be younger."

The viruses that cause warts are members of the humanpapilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts are not cancerous but some strains of HPV, usually notassociated with warts, have been linked with cancer formation. Warts are contagious fromperson to person and from one area of the body to another on the same person. Description Particularly common among children, young adults, and women, warts are a problem for 7-10% of the population. There are close to 60 types of HPV that cause warts, each preferring a specificskin location. For instance, some types of HPV cause warts to grow on the skin, others causethem to grow inside the mouth, while still others cause them to grow on the genital and rectalareas.

They produce multiple single-stem flowers that are 10 to 14 inches tall in yellow, pink, orange, red and white. Sometimes called Transvaal daisies for their South African origins, gerbera daisies can be treated as annuals or a perennials depending on your climate and your commitment to the plant. Gerbera Daisy Culture Gerbera daisies need full sun, though they benefit from afternoon shade when temperatures are high. Soil needs to drain well, and heavy clay should be amended with compost. Because the plant is susceptible to crown rot and produces fewer flowers in wet soil, it is a candidate for raised beds and containers. Plant out when nighttime temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Flowers bloom in early summer. Annual or Perennial Once an annual produces seed, its life cycle is complete, and the plant dies back. Perennial plants produce flowers and then seed several times, coming up from the same roots each year before dying back."

Remove the protective plastic cups (if used) from the flower. While holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears. DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring them to your arrangement or other container. Water, to which a good floral preservative has been added, is the best solution in which to arrange fresh cut gerbera daisies.

"text": "Home »Produce How to Grow Gerbera Daisies From Seed By Sarah Metzker Erdemir; Updated September 21, 2017Also called gerber daisy, the gerbera daisy is a flowering indoor and warm-weather outdoor plant in the aster family. The plants are small, usually no more than 18 inches high, and they are full of colorful daisy-shaped blooms that can last for months. Gerbera daisies have been hybridized for hundreds of years, so a huge variety of flower colors is available, with single-colored and mixed bloom plants. Starting gerbera daisies from seed can be tricky because these are such delicate plants, but the resulting long-lasting, beautiful blooms are worth the effort. Fill plug flats with a very light potting mix to germinate the seeds. A good mix to use is 60% peat moss with 20% perlite and 20% vermiculite. Choose gerbera daisy seeds that are fresh and have a fat seed pod. The seeds resemble brooms, with a long thin seeds at the bottom and a feather brush at the top. Sow the seeds shallowly, with one seed per plug. The seeds should be sown upright, with the tips of the brush part just barely covered with soil."

The birthday flower for April is the cheerful, colorful daisy. Daisies symbolize childhood innocence, simplicity and joy, which makes them a wonderful choice to give in a spring bouquet or to grow in your garden. Daises are close cousins to sunflowers and the three most popular varieties are the Shasta daisy, African daisy and gerbera daisy. Shastas have snowy white petals with bright yellow centers and make great cut flowers. African daisies grow closer to the ground and have white, orange, yellow or apricot flowers. Gerbera daisies (or gerberas) are the most popular daisies and their large blooms can be found in a rainbow of bright colors, including pink, white, yellow, orange, cream, red and violet. The center of the flower can be almost any color and often a single flower will have petals of many different colors. Daisies in History The gerbera daisy (gerbera jamesonii ) was discovered in 1884 near Barberton, South Africa, by Scotsman Robert Jameson. Breeding programs that began in England in 1890 perfected the flower’s quality and colors, making them a favorite among both gardeners and givers of bouquets."

The large, central disk of each flower contrasts with the radiating petals, creating what can be an eye-catching display in flowerbeds and borders. Gerbera daisies require about six hours of daily sunlight and well-drained soil to grow well, and they are perennial in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. It takes new Gerbera daisies about 14 to 18 weeks after planting to produce their first blooms, and then they flower reliably through summer.1Grow Gerbera daisies in a garden bed amended with a 2-inch layer of compost before planting. The soil's p H should be between 5.5 and 6.2, which you can determine prior to planting by following the instructions in a soil test kit. Space new plants 12 to 18 inches apart in all directions, and plant them with their crowns just above the soil surface. The crown is where a plant's stems and roots meet.2Water Gerbera daisies about once weekly when they actively grow in spring, summer and fall. Water near the base of the plants so the foliage remains dry, supplying about 1 inch of water or enough so the top 6 inches of soil remains moist.3Cover the planting bed with a 2-inch layer of mulch, but leave the crown of each plant exposed."

Related to sunflowers and marigolds, Gerbera daisies have long lasting 3-4 inch flower that come in numerous forms and bright shades of yellow, white, pink, lavender, red, and orange. Characteristics Gerbera daisies ( Gerbera jamesonii) are native to South Africa. Each Gerbera flower sits on a long leafless stem about 6 inches above the plant's foliage. These plants form dense, 12-inch tall clumps of long, slightly \"\"fuzzy\"\" leaves. Not only will Gerberas produce flowers for a good period of time in the garden, their blooms make long-lasting cut flowers that can be used to decorate your home. Gerbera daisies do well in containers and as perennial bedding plants in Central and South Florida. In areas where prolonged freezes are likely they should be treated as annuals or over-wintered indoors. Planting and Care Gerberas prefer an area of the garden where they will receive morning sunshine and afternoon shade. For best results, plant your Gerbera daisies in sandy soils that have been amended with organic matter."

Gerbera is a large genus in the same family as sunflowers (Asteraceae). They are native to South Africa, but a lot of breeding has gone into developing the large daisy-like flowers we see today. They were initially bred to be cut flowers and are still the 5th most common cut flower in the world. They can be grown from seed and are popular as houseplants and outdoors in containers and beds, however, they are not frost hardy. About Gerber Daisies There are 4 general classes of Gerbera: Single flowers: This constitutes the main class. Singles will have either one or 2 layers of petals. Semi-double flowers: These have a row of short petals around the center disk. Cut gerbers are usually semi-doubles. Double flowers: With multiple layers of petals (5 – 7) the doubles looks a bit more like zinnias or dahlias, than daisies."

Gerber daisies, with the right care, will bloom throughout the summer and into the fall. Plant gerber daisies in a container, or garden spot, free of other plants that will inhibit the flowering process by competing for needed nutrients. Gerber daisies don't like to compete with other flowers and need more room for growth than most plants. Place them in full sunlight for at least four hours a day; gerber daisy blooms require full sunlight so they don't droop. Full sun also produces more blooms on the gerber daisy. Fertilize the daisies once every two to three weeks using African violet fertilizer. This fertilizer is ideal for gerber daisies and will encourage hardy and long-lasting flowers."

Cut off the bottom 1/2 inch of the stem at a 45-degree angle, using a clean knife.3Arrange the flowers in the vase immediately after cutting the stems. The shallow water should only cover about 1 inch of the stems, otherwise the gerber stems may become soft and weak if fully submerged.4Set the vase in a cool room to condition the fresh cut flowers overnight. Temperatures between 32 and 35 F are preferred, but use the coolest room that you have available.5Display the gerber daisies in an area with bright but indirect light after they are conditioned.

"text": "Related Articles How to Grow Gerbera Daisy Outdoors How to Care for Gerbera Daisies Inside How to: Gerbera Daisy from Seed When Are Gerber Daisies in Season? Gerbera daisies (Gerbera jamesonii), also known as Transvaal daisies because they're originally from Transvaal in South Africa, are prized for their large size and vibrant colors, which makes them popular as both indoor and outdoor accents. They act as perennial plants in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 or higher, but as annuals in colder zones. The right time to plant your daisies depends on several factors, chiefly whether you're planting seeds or dividing a mature gerbera daisy plant, as well as considerations like your garden's temperature and sun exposure. Timing of Seeding While starting a gerbera daisy plant from seed is generally cheap, the results are unpredictable when it comes to the plant's flower color. If a gardener chooses to plant gerbera daisies by seed, timing is critical. It takes one to two weeks for planted seeds to germinate, and another seven weeks before the plants are big enough to be transplanted to their final outdoor growing spot. While gerbera daisies can survive in temperatures as cold as 30 degrees Fahrenheit, they can't handle frost well. Thus, gardeners should time their planting of the seeds no earlier than approximately nine weeks before the last frost date in their specific region. Timing of Plant Division Mature gerbera daisy plants produce multiple growing crowns."

Benmckune Natural history All gerbils have long hind feet and fairly large ears and eyes, but there is variation among other characteristics. Body form varies from stout and compact to slender and gracile. One of the largest is the great gerbil ( Rhombomys opimus ), which inhabits the deserts of Central Asia and is 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 inches) long, with a slightly shorter, densely haired tail. The smallest is probably Desmodilliscus braueri of northern Africa, weighing a mere 6 to 14 grams (0.2 to 0.5 ounce) and measuring 4 to 8 cm long, not including the shorter, scantily haired tail. Most gerbils are nocturnal; a few species, however, are active only in early morning and evening or during the day. Gerbils walk and scamper on all four limbs and flee in running leaps when alarmed. Some construct short, simple burrows, but others construct elaborate underground galleries. The burrows of the great gerbil sometimes weaken embankments in western Asia, where it also damages crops."

Answer by Marcy M Confidence votes 53.9KI love people and enjoy helping others. I have a great thirst for knowledge and always strive to expand my mind and thus my life. Male lions sleep up to 20 hours per day (with one eye open so to speak.) While the females are the hunters the male lions don't and their job is to protect the pride (their harem so to speak.) The male sleeps, but scent and (one eye open off and on) is gathering the strength he needs to spring on command when another male lion tries to steal his pride (female lioness'.) An older Lion will protect his pride, but if it's a younger male lion the younger one usually will back off of the fight rather than to risk death. If two adult male lions fight over the right of a pride there is usually a fight to the death. This takes energy and alertness so a male lion is never really fully asleep."

A very common question or plea on just about every snake forum is “help, my ball python is not feeding” or “my snake was feeding and has nowstopped”. Much advice that is offered is simply not helpful. Hopefully this guide will help you understand the what, how and when of feeding your ball python and improve your snake keeping experience. First things: Firstly, you need to understand that most snakes will eat when they are happy and hungry. Snakes are not robots and unlike mammals they don’t always feed on demand. It’s very common for all snakes, particularly ball pythons to fast and go without food by simply stopping to feed for a while. This is natural and needs to be expected. Ball pythons in particular can often be described as binge feeders. That is they will eat well for weeks or several months, then they will stop feeding."

"text": "\"Pets Rodents What can gerbils eat, and what can they not eat?5 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Types of Gerbil Diets Seed Mixes: These are loose mixes of seeds, sometimes with pellets or dried vegetables added. Most of these will be nutritionally balanced, but only if your gerbil eats everything in the mix. The downside: many gerbils will pick out their favorite bits and leave the rest, which can lead to a dietary imbalance if there are components your gerbils consistently avoid. This may be expecially true if there are lots of sunflower seeds in the mix, which are often favored but are quite fatty and alone are not a good diet. Because loose seed mixes don't insure a complete and balanced diet, they are not ideal as the sole component of the diet. Pellets or Lab Blocks: these have the advantage of being nutritionally balanced. Pellets are smaller and lab blocks are the larger chunks of food.

Hedgehogs appeal to people looking for an unusual, quirky pet that is also cuddly, quiet and odorless. Typical costs: Hedgehogs range in price from about $70 to $250, depending on the hedgehog's age, color, and temperament. Some breeders offer hedgehog starter kits for around $75 that include a cage, wheel, a hiding place, water bottle, feed bowl and food, and some shavings. Hedgehogs live between four and six years. The older the hedgehog the less expensive it will be. Related articles: Chinchilla, Ferret, Rabbit, Gerbil, Guinea Pig, Hamster What should be included: At minimum, a hedgehog purchase should include a health certificate. Many breeders also offer a pet carrier, small bag of food, blanket and sometimes even the airline ticket for shipping the pet. Hedgehog quills are not as sharp as a porcupine's, and no injuries are spoken of in online hedgehog pet communities. Hedgehog owners are especially fond of hedgehogs' ability to roll into a tight ball, concealing their bodies, with their quills sticking out."

"text": "Animal Companions Caring for Gerbils and Hamsters Share Tweet Pin8 years ago | Written by PETABecause of their size, these tiny natives of the Middle East, Africa, India, and Asia are misperceived as being “low maintenance” animal companions. Employees are rarely trained to meet the animals’ needs or properly sex them, so unknowing customers may take on more than they bargained for. Although gerbils and hamsters both come from the rodent family and essentially eat the same foods, their social needs are entirely different. How to Spot Neglect During the day, expect to see healthy hamsters sleeping; healthy gerbils may or may not be running around. A listless gerbil could be ill or depressed, especially if alone. A head tilt or lack of balance; scabs on ears, face or feet; sneezing; runny nose; watery eyes; and diarrhea are all signs of a sick animal who needs immediate attention and who could have “wet tail,” which is the slang term for a particular life-threatening disease caused by a dirty cage or stress. Hamsters Noted for their large cheek pouches and short stubby tails, hamsters were found in Syria in 1839 and have been held captive as pets or test subjects since the 1940s. In their natural habitat, they prefer to be alone and are nocturnal so bonding with humans can be a challenge since they do not like to be awakened during the day. But evenings and early mornings are a good time to try to make friends. A 2-foot-square wire-mesh cage with a solid base would be the minimum size for a home for one hamster, but keeping more than one hamster in a space that size will likely lead to a deadly fight."

"text": "Wildlife The abundance of life in the Sinai Peninsula may not be immediately apparent. This again has its roots in the way in which the animals of the desert have adapted to life here. Many species, mammals especially, but also reptiles and even birds such as owls, are nocturnal. They spend the daylight hours in the relative cool of burrows, under boulders or in crevices and cracks in the rock. Many of these creatures will only be apparent from their tracks and trails or from a fleeting glimpse of a diminutive gerbil, or zig-zigging hare, in the car headlights at night. Even those animals that do brave the heat of the day are normally only active in the early morning or evening. With only sparse vegetation in which to hide, many desert species rely on camouflage as protection. Some, like the desert lark or the gerbils, are coloured in browns and beiges and russets to match the landscape. Others, such as Burton's Carpet Viper or the Sinai Leopard are strikingly patterned, but when seen against their natural desert backdrop that pattern breaks up the outline of the animal and it becomes difficult to distinguish. Even such large animals as the Nubian Ibex can be very hard to see against a cliff face as their initial response to a threat is to freeze."

When alarmed or excited, gerbils will make a rhythmic thumping sound with their hind feet. Usually only one gerbil in an enclosure will do this while the others perk up their ears and listen. It's really amusing when you have several tanks of gerbils and one gerbil will thump an alarm, and another in another aquarium will thump back! It's their way of communicating danger. Gerbils produce this thump by stomping both their feet on the ground. It is amazing how loud and how long they can thump. While we may not be able to differentiate between the two types of thumps, gerbils can certainly tell the difference. While an alarm thump may produce a chorus of warning thumps, a mating thumps will often go ignored.

But like humans, they can get ill. Jeff Werwa, DVM, Cincinnati Medical Center, helps identify some common ailments gerbils can experience. Overgrown Teeth A gerbil’s front teeth, the canines and incisors, continuously grow throughout its life. In the wild, gerbils wear down their teeth on foods they eat. As pets, gerbils need chew toys and blocks to help wear teeth down. Sometimes malocclusion (misalignment of teeth) occurs and the gerbil will suffer pain. The teeth can curl into the gerbil’s gums causing extreme discomfort. This is easily fixed with a trip to the vet to shave the teeth down."

They make entertaining, low-maintenance companions. Provide yours with a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and a comfortable environment, and she could live up to three years. Longevity Hamsters have been known survive to the ripe old age of 4, but most hamsters won't live that long. The Syrian hamster, a larger species that is the most popular pet hamster, usually lives two to three years. The average life span of dwarf hamsters, such as the Chinese, Siberian and Roborovski hamsters, is about one to two years, but some may live as long as three years. Care and Feeding As with all pets, a healthy lifestyle generally increases your hamster's longevity. Hamsters need appropriate food, fresh water and quality bedding to stay healthy. Purchase hamster mix that contains seeds, protein pellets and corn at your local pet shop. Supplement her diet with fresh carrots, lettuce, spinach and the occasional almond."

They can be very diverting. Some peoples told me that they were more interesting then their T. V. or that their friends would come to their house to look at gerbils. Social Behaviours Grooming The gerbil will clean its fur or the other ones fur with his paws and teeth. This behaviour is used to reinforce social links between clan members. Sometimes, they will groom so hard that they will cut some fur part. This is not yet well explained why they do that but it seams to be a sign of domination. Don't worry about the missing fur it will grow back."

"text": "Gerbil Social Behaviors: Introducing a New Cage Posted: February 01, 2018Share this: Gerbils are popular pets and social animals that do best in a happy, companionable group. These are curious and intelligent creatures, but they can also be territorial and aggressive as adults. Even gerbils that have been gentle may fight for dominance when they are introduced to a new cage or other unfamiliar environment as they get accustomed to the new space and seek to claim their own territory in their new living quarters. Fortunately, with a bit of patience, you can easily acclimate your gerbils to a new cage without injuries or anxiety. Cage Splitting Cage splitting is often used when adding a new gerbil to an established cage, but it is also useful if you are moving all your gerbils to a new home. This easy technique will reduce territoriality and get each gerbil used to the new cage safely. Before you begin, it is important to recognize when gerbils begin to claim territory. Young gerbils, generally younger than 10 weeks old, are not sexually mature and are less likely to be aggressive or territorial. When the animals are mature, however, they will fight for dominance and cage splitting will be necessary. To accustom your gerbils to a new cage…Carefully clean and disinfect the cage to remove any lingering odors or unwanted contaminants."

These breeds do tend to share some of the same traits however, which includes great intelligence, strength, and a tendency to aggression towards other animals (i.e. dogs, cats, rodents, etc.). If you decide to adopt a dog from one of these breeds, or a mix, you should be prepared to show extra commitment to responsible pet ownership, which includes obedience training, TONS of socialization, and management if your dog displays aggressive traits. Moreover, for those breeds such as pit bulls and akitas that have a genetic predisposition toward animal aggression, dog parks are absolutely to be avoided!Below we have provided some basic descriptions on some of the more infamous breeds found predominantly in Los Angeles area shelters, along with additional website links for more information on each breed.

Answer by Hexedgirl92 Confidence votes 1.7KThere really is no \"\"breed\"\" of military dog, since technically, all dogs are qualified to become a military dog, ranging from breeds like Poodles to St. Bernards (not that anyone would use a fluffy Poodle). Most military dog breeds tody are usually German and Dutch Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheep Dog, Farm Collies, Doberman Pinschers, and Giant Schnauzers. These breeds of dogs were chosen because they are very aggressive, intelligent, loyal, and athletic by nature. Not only that but German Shepherds in particular are the standard breed used in military service, because they are all of the traits above, and also because they adapt very quickly to an environment change. They are also predictable, dependable, easily trained, and moderately aggressive. But for specialize roles, like detective dogs (dogs who find things), dogs with a very good sense of smell and a high level of intelligence are chosen. Among these breeds are Retrievers (Such as Golden, Laborador, or Chesapeake Bay) and hounds due to their very good sense of smell. The following breeds were rejected: Great Danes - difficult to train because of their size. Hunting dogs - other animal scents would take their attention away."

The direct translation of the German name was adopted for use in the official breed registry; however, at the conclusion of World War I, it was believed that the inclusion of the word \"\"German\"\" would harm the breed's popularity, due to the anti-German sentiment of the era.

The name Alsatian remained for five decades, until 1977, when successful campaigns by dog enthusiasts pressured the British kennel clubs to allow the breed to be registered again as German Shepherd Dogs.

"text": "Travel Germany Other - Germany What's more abundant in Germany: Blue or green eyes? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi! I'm German and I can tell you that neither is more abundant over here in Germany! The people here have all kinds of color eyes: blue, green, brown, grey, blue-grey, green-grey etc. It has nothing to do with the race, but more with the genes what color eyes you're born with:)Redneckgirl · 1 decade ago2 1 Comment Green eyes, for genetic reasons. Blue eyes are a recessive trait, which is to say (in a very simplified explanation) that in order for you to be blue eyed, your parents both have to have blue eyes too. If one of them has blue eyes and the other green or brown eyes (which is essentially the same, just different versions of the same colour spectrum), the child will never have blue eyes - except as a baby, but that's not what you're asking about, right?

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with frame rate. \"\" Slow film\"\" redirects here. For the genre of films, see slow cinema. Film speed is the measure of a photographic film 's sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. A closely related ISO system is used to describe the relationship between exposure and output image lightness in digital cameras. Relatively insensitive film, with a correspondingly lower speed index, requires more exposure to light to produce the same image density as a more sensitive film, and is thus commonly termed a slow film. Highly sensitive films are correspondingly termed fast films. In both digital and film photography, the reduction of exposure corresponding to use of higher sensitivities generally leads to reduced image quality (via coarser film grain or higher image noise of other types). In short, the higher the sensitivity, the grainier the image will be. Ultimately sensitivity is limited by the quantum efficiency of the film or sensor."

Those three tribes were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. The Jutes faded relatively quickly from the historical record and the Angles and the Saxons dominated for the rest of the time. The Angles and the Saxons attacked and pushed back the relatively sedentary and peaceful native Celtic people and subsumed them. That's a very abbreviated history.

Music critics responded negatively to the song, deeming it a repetitive and puerile form of sexual titillation. The song garnered comparisons to Kelis ' 2003 hit single \"\" Milkshake \"\", a song that presents similar sexual themes and uses of milk as a metaphor. Despite the negative response from music critics, the song was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in fifteen countries worldwide.

The most apparent physical feature is their red eyes. The dorsal side and legs are usually bright lime green, and the sides of their body are striped in blue and yellow. They also have bright orange feet with large toepads that they use to climb with. The inside of the legs is blue. The breeding season is from October through March, during the rainy season as it is for most other frogs. The musical mating ritual of the red-eyed tree frog is begun by the loud croaking of one male, who is quickly joined by other ones in the area, all sharing the common goal of attracting females. This loud croaking continues as A. callidryas males jump from one leaf to another in a crazed attempt to establish territory. When the loud croaking is at its climax, quivering occurs: Male A. callidryas inflate their vocal cavities and rise on all fours in an attempt to attract females and deter other males from entering their territory."

This article is aimed at beginner peafowl breeders and enthusiasts in hope that it will give you a better understanding of peafowl. Species The two species of peafowl most commonly bred in captivity are the Pavo cristatus and the Pavo muticus peafowl; better known as the India Blue and Green peafowl. Both species of peafowl are native to South Asia. The green peafowl, Pavo muticus, consists of three very similar, but distinct subspecies including Pavo muticus-muticus, Pavo muticus-imperator, and Pavo muticus-spicifer. These subspecies may also be known by their English terms Javanese Green (m. muticus), Indo-Chinese Green (m. imperator), and Burmese Green (m. spicifer) peafowl. Although many experts agree that there are several more subspecies of Green peafowl, as many as 10, identification of the three most common is sufficient for this article. The three subspecies of Green peafowl are very similar in appearance and can be differentiated by an experienced breeder or most accurately by DNA testing. Most people refer to the Green peafowl generically as Java Greens, which is inaccurate, but for the purpose of this article I will refer to them simply as Green peafowl. I will also be referring to the species Pavo Cristatus simply as India Blues."

"text": "\"Collard greens and black-eyed peas: The history of why we eat them on New Year's By Melissa Kravitz | Dec. 29, 2016All across the globe, people will eat special dishes or toast celebratory flutes of Champagne to ring in the New Year, hoping to usher in luck and positive energy in the year to come. While Filipinos are chowing down on long noodles for a long life and Spaniards are popping 12 grapes in their mouths at midnight, some Americans will sit down to a steamy plate of collard greens and black-eyed peas. But why has eating this Southern dish become a New Year's tradition? How black-eyed peas and collard greens became a symbol of luck A photo posted by (@) on Legend has it that collard greens and black-eyed peas are said to represent a prosperous new year, with the greens symbolizing cash and peas coins. American currency, however, is nothing like the dark green hue of cooked collards and at no point have we used puny, white pea-sized balls as change. While some may still eat collards and peas for this reason to ring in the new year, the tradition dates hundreds of years back in American history and even further back across the Atlantic. Black-eyed peas were cultivated in Africa over 5,000 years ago, historian Jessica B. Harris explained in her New York Times op-ed, \"\"Prosperity Starts with a Pea,\"\" in December 2010. In the 1700s, black-eyed peas, exported during the transatlantic slave trade, were planted in the Carolinas and \"\"eaten by enslaved Africans and poorer whites,\"\" Harris wrote. And the foods eaten by slaves eventually moved their way up to the master's table, where black-eyed peas became a staple ingredient in the dish Hoppin' John, made with black-eyed peas, rice and pork.

"text": "\"Feline eosinophilic diseases (formally known as feline eosinophilic granuloma complex) are a group of conditions usually involving an overreaction of one of the cat's white blood cells called an eosinophil. The eosinophil gets its name because of its response to a certain stain: the eosin stain. Eosin stain gives these cells a unique and identifiable look when viewed through a microscope. One of the primary functions of the eosinophil is to defend the body against a parasitic invasion. The level of eosinophils will typically rise in a cat's blood stream if there is a flea infestation or an infection with an internal parasite (e.g., a roundworm infection). These white blood cells \"\"home-in\"\" on signals produced by the body's reaction to these invaders. The eosinophil will then release a chemical substance that attempts to kill the intruder. Unfortunately, the cat's body can be \"\"tricked\"\" into an eosinophilic reaction by more benign substances like dust or pollen. Allergies to airborne substances, foods, or fleas, combined with genetic predisposition in some cats, result in an overreaction of the cat's eosinophils and subsequent damage to collagen (a component of skin). This can lead to a number of conditions including: Eosinophilic granuloma Eosinophilic plaque Indolent ulcer (also known as the rodent ulcer)Feline eosinophilic diseases are more common in female cats."

"text": "Overview of Diseases of the Mouth in Small Animals By Alexander M. Reiter, DT, DMV, DAVDC, DEVDC, Chief, Dentistry and Oral Surgery Service, Ryan Veterinary Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania For a discussion of developmental diseases of the mouth, see Congenital and Inherited Anomalies of the Mouth. For eosinophilic granuloma complex, see Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex. The primary function of the mouth is to introduce food into the digestive tract. Additional functions include communication and social interaction, grooming, protection, heat regulation (particularly in dogs), and grasping objects. The latter is very important for performance animals (eg, retrievers, military and police dogs). Similar to other areas of the alimentary tract, the mouth in the normal, healthy state supports a large and diverse population of bacteria that lives primarily in biofilm communities. Unlike other areas of the body, the mouth also contains nonvital surfaces (enamel of teeth) that have neither local immune system defenses nor the ability to regenerate through cellular replacement. The oral mucosal tissues have an excellent vascular supply, and the tightly adherent gingiva protects the underlying alveolar bone from trauma, thermal injury, and bacterial invasion. Food prehension requires a complex interaction of the muscles of mastication, the teeth, the tongue, and the pharyngeal muscles. When any of these become compromised through disease or trauma, malnutrition and dehydration may result."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A Ghon focus is a primary lesion usually subpleural, often in the mid to lower zones, caused by Mycobacterium bacilli ( tuberculosis) developed in the lung of a nonimmune host (usually a child). [ 1] It is named for Anton Ghon (1866–1936), an Austrian pathologist. It is a small area of granulomatous inflammation, only detectable by chest X-ray if it calcifies or grows substantially (see tuberculosis radiology ). [ 2] Typically these will heal, but in some cases, especially in immunosuppressed patients, it will progress to miliary tuberculosis (so named due to the granulomas resembling millet seeds on a chest X-ray). [ 2]The classical location for primary infection is surrounding the lobar fissures, either in the upper part of the lower lobe or lower part of the upper lobe. [ 2]If the Ghon focus also involves infection of adjacent lymphatics and hilar lymph nodes, it is known as the Ghon's complex or primary complex. When a Ghon's complex undergoes fibrosis and calcification it is called a Ranke complex. [ 2] [3]References [ edit]^ Braun, Carie Ann; Anderson, Cindy Miller (2007).

Please help improve it by removing promotional content and inappropriate external links, and by adding encyclopedic content written from a neutral point of view. ( June 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are diagnostic tools for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). They are surrogate markers of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and indicate a cellular immune response to M. tuberculosis. IGRAs cannot distinguish between latent infection and active tuberculosis (TB) disease, and should not be used as a sole method for diagnosis of active TB, which is a microbiological diagnosis. A positive IGRA result may not necessarily indicate TB infection, but can also be caused by infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria. A negative IGRA does not rule out active TB disease; a number of studies have shown that up to a quarter of patients with active TB have negative IGRA results. Because IGRAs are not affected by Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination status, IGRAs are useful for evaluation of LTBI in BCG-vaccinated individuals, particularly in settings where BCG vaccination is administered after infancy or multiple (booster) BCG vaccinations are given. In contrast, the specificity of tuberculin skin test (TST) varies depending on timing of BCG and whether repeated (booster) vaccinations are given.

"text": "Granulomas were first observed over 200 years ago during the autopsy of a tuberculous lung. The various current definitions of the granuloma are still based on histopathologic observations. The lesion is defined as a focal, chronic inflammatory tissue response composed mostly of macrophages and their derivatives the epithelioid cells, evoked by persistent, poorly degradable substances ( 1, 3, 9 ). In addition various granulomas may contain lymphocytes, sometimes plasma cells, giant cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells and fibroblasts. Based on the causative agent (s) granulomas have a diverse etiology. They are classified into 4 groups: 1) T cell-mediated immune granulomas formed to infectious agents. 2) Granulomas with unknown etiology but with a T lymphocyte-mediated profile. 3) Foreign body granulomas induced by inanimate substances. 4) Granulomas associated with malignant tumors ( Table 1 ). Table 1 - 4 shows a wide range of causative agents which induce chronic inflammations by their persistent irritation and/or immune stimulation."

Some of these conditions are discussed elsewhere in Medscape Drugs & Diseases. For example, the term epulis fissuratum refers to epithelial and fibrous hyperplasia specifically related to, and the result of, trauma from the border of a removable denture. It may be viewed as the mucosal counterpart of acanthoma fissuratum. See the image below depicting fibrous tumorlike growth of the oral soft tissues.

View Media Gallery Fibroma The fibroma, also referred to as irritation fibroma, is by far the most common of the oral fibrous tumorlike growths. While the terminology implies a benign neoplasm, most if not all fibromas represent reactive focal fibrous hyperplasia due to trauma or local irritation. Although the term focal fibrous hyperplasia more accurately describes the clinical appearance and pathogenesis of this entity, it is not commonly used. A fibroma may occur at any oral site, but it is seen most often on the buccal mucosa along the plane of occlusion of the maxillary and mandibular teeth as depicted below. ["

These defects are characterized by an increased number of vessels and vessels that are both enlarged and sinuous. Some vascular anomalies are congenital and therefore present at birth, others appear within weeks to years after birth and others are acquired by trauma or during pregnancy. Inherited vascular anomalies are also described and often present with a number of lesions that increase with patients’ age. Vascular anomalies can also be a part of a syndrome and, occasionally, they can be acquired by trauma. The estimated prevalence of vascular anomalies is 4.5%.

It is indeed alarming to realize that we have lost 135 bird species, 70 mammal species 3, and that so many more are under threat because of human activities. However, as guilty we should feel for their loss, vertebrates represent less than half of the documented extinctions. Comparatively, invertebrate species (without a backbone) receive much less media attention, even though they comprise nearly 99% of all animal diversity 4 and occupy a central role in the survival or maintenance of most ecosystems."

Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs. Snails have considerable human relevance, including as food items, as pests, as vectors of disease, and their shells are used as decorative objects and are incorporated into jewelry.

Extreme environments like low desert and far north present challenges for the sequoias. Specimen sequoias can be found in most climates indicating that the species is remarkably adaptable. The limiting factor is the availability of liquid water in the root zone. A sequoia can suck the ground dry on a warm day. If there is no natural means of replenishing the soil moisture consistently the grower must supplement the sequoias with irrigation. Failure to keep the soil moist results in a dead tree. Sequoias require moist, rich, balanced ph, and well-drained soil."

"text": "MIAMI 04/14/2013 07:59 am ET Updated Jun 15, 2013Giant African Land Snails Invading Miami: 117,000 Caught So Far (PHOTOS, VIDEO)XBy Barbara Liston ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - South Florida is fighting a growing infestation of one of the world’s most destructive invasive species: the giant African land snail, which can grow as big as a rat and gnaw through stucco and plaster. More than 1,000 of the mollusks are being caught each week in Miami-Dade and 117,000 in total since the first snail was spotted by a homeowner in September 2011, said Denise Feiber, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Residents will soon likely begin encountering them more often, crunching them underfoot as the snails emerge from underground hibernation at the start of the state’s rainy season in just seven weeks, Feiber said. The snails attack “over 500 known species of plants ... pretty much anything that’s in their path and green,” Feiber said. In some Caribbean countries, such as Barbados, which are overrun with the creatures, the snails’ shells blow out tires on the highway and turn into hurling projectiles from lawnmower blades, while their slime and excrement coat walls and pavement. “It becomes a slick mess,” Feiber said. A typical snail can produce about 1,200 eggs a year and the creatures are a particular pest in homes because of their fondness for stucco, devoured for the calcium content they need for their shells. The snails also carry a parasitic rat lungworm that can cause illness in humans, including a form of meningitis, Feiber said, although no such cases have yet been identified in the United States. ( Story continues below. ) PHOTO GALLERYMiami Snail Invasion EXOTIC INVASIONThe snails’ saga is something of a sequel to the Florida horror show of exotic species invasions, including the well-known infestation of giant Burmese pythons, which became established in the Everglades in 2000."

It is not only found in East Africa on the coastal areas and islands, but it has also been introduced to many other countries in Africa, along with many countries worldwide. The snail has been introduced into countries as far apart as the United States to Australia, and countries in-between. Achatina fulica is not a migratory species and has therefore been introduced through other means to the countries outside of East Africa, possibly through agricultural transportation, commerce, trade, vehicle attachment, smuggling, and other accidental and purposeful ways.

Many interceptions of slugs are made by quarantine inspectors (Robinson 1999), including species not yet found in the USA or restricted to areas of North America other than Florida. In addition to the many potential invasive slugs originating in temperate climates such as Europe, the traditional source of invasive molluscs for the USA, Florida is also quite susceptible to invasion by slugs from warmer climates. Indeed, most of the invaders that have established here are warm-weather or tropical species. Following is a discussion of the situation in Florida, including problems with slug identification and taxonomy as well as the behavior, ecology, and management of slugs. Biology (Back to Top)Slugs are snails without a visible shell (some have an internal shell and a few have a greatly reduced external shell). The slug life form (with a reduced or invisible shell) has evolved a number of times in different snail families, but this shell-free body form has imparted similar behavior and physiology in all species of slugs. For example, slugs are not as dependent on calcium-rich environments as are shell-bearing snails, but as a result of lacking a protective shell they display behaviors that conserve moisture such as nocturnal activity and dwelling mostly in sheltered environments. Slugs also reduce water loss by opening their breathing pore (pneumostome) only periodically instead of having it open continuously. Slugs produce mucus (slime), which allows them to adhere to the substrate and provides some protection against abrasion, but some mucus also has chemical properties that function in defense against predation (South 1992)."

While they are legal pets in some countries, under no circumstances should they be kept as pets where it is illegal to do so, and they should also never be released into the wild. They are also prolific breeders so if you have more than one you also need to be extremely careful about disposing of the numerous eggs produced. Species Achatina fulica (East African Land Snail), Achatina marginata (West African Land Snails), Achatina achatina (Tiger Snails). Care for all is similar. A common abbreviation for giant African land snails is GALS. Size The smaller of these snails ( Achatina fulica) grow to be about 3-4 inches long (shell length), while the larger ones ( Achatina achatina) can have a shell up to 10-11 inches long (in a snail this size the body stretched out would be about 14-15 inches!). Life Span Average about 5-6 years, but can live up to 10 years. Housing A good sized, well-ventilated plastic or glass tank with a secure lid makes a good home (for full grown snails count on a 5-10 gallon tank as a minimum). Provide a 1-2 inch layer of soil or compost as a substrate (allow the snails to burrow)."

Land snail is the common name for terrestrialgastropod mollusks that have shells (those without shells are known as slugs ). However, it is not always easy to say which species are terrestrial, because some are more or less amphibious between land and freshwater, and others are relatively amphibious between land and saltwater. The majority of land snails are pulmonates. That is, they have a lung and breathe air. A minority however belong to much more ancient lineages where their anatomy includes a gill and an operculum. Many of these operculate land snails live in habitats or microhabitats that are sometimes (or often) damp or wet, such as for example in moss. Land snails have a strong muscular foot; they use mucus to enable them to crawl over rough surfaces, and in order to keep their soft bodies from drying out. Like other mollusks, land snails have a mantle, and they have one or two pairs of tentacles on their head."

[ 3] The snails were fattened for human consumption using spelt and aromatic herbs. People usually raised snails in pens near the house, and these pens were called \"\" cochlea \"\". The Romans, in particular, are known to have considered escargot as an elite food, as noted in the writings of Pliny."

As the name might suggest, the Gila (pronounced HEE-la) monster has one of the worst reputations in the reptile world. This lizard is often feared and has been described as frightful and repulsive, especially in local folklore. It has been accused of many things, such as spitting venom, leaping several feet in the air to attack, stinging with its tongue, and killing people with gusts of poisonous breath. We’re glad you’re reading this, to learn the truth about these interesting lizards!Gila monsters are heavy-bodied lizards covered with beadlike scales, called osteoderms, that are black and yellow or pink covering all but their belly. The Gila monster is venomous; its venom is made by a row of glands in the lizard’s lower jaw. When the lizard bites, small grooves in the teeth help the venom flow into its prey. The bite of a Gila monster is very strong, and the lizard may not loosen its grip for several seconds. It may even chew so that the venom goes deeper into the wound. A Gila monster bite is painful to humans, but it rarely causes death."

Click to hear Gila Monster sounds Adaptations The colorful, beadlike skin of the gila monster helps with camouflage. Its claws are used for digging burrows and for digging out other animals' eggs. Its tongue helps it to hunt and to receive information about its surroundings by picking up the scents in the air. They also can store fat in their tails. This is very important to the survival of the Gila monster during times in which food supply is diminished, during hibernation and during pregnancy.

"text": "Given that 21 of the 25 most venomous snakes in the world live in Australia, it should come as no surprise that the most poisonous snake in Australia is also the most poisonous snake in the world. The inland taipan, commonly known as the “fierce snake,” has venom so powerful a single bite could kill 100 grown men. Despite its deadly venom, no human deaths from an inland taipan bite have been reported as of early 2013. Inland Taipan Venom An inland taipan snake’s venom contains a powerful neurotoxin that immobilizes prey by blocking the signals its nerves send to its muscles. This neurotoxin is combined with a myotoxin that eats away at muscle tissue, and a procoagulant that keeps blood from clotting and increases the rate at which the toxins are absorbed by the body. Most venomous snakes bite and then release their prey, waiting for the venom to kill the animal before they consume it. The inland taipan’s venom acts so quickly, however, that it never has to release its prey and can start consuming an animal immediately after the venomous bite is delivered. Physical Description The fierce snake grows to 6 or 7 feet in length. Their scales range from yellowish-brown to dark brown in color, and their heads and necks are usually a darker shade than the rest of their bodies. They change color seasonally, displaying a darker coloration in winter."

They also live in farmland and scrubland and spend about 95% of the time in shade, underground or in rocks. But here is why they thrive in the desert: Gila monsters have three adaptations that enhance their survival in their desert environment: First, they have large bodies, and can consume large amounts of food during a brief period. Second, they need to feed infrequently because they can store fat in their tails. Finally, their metabolic rate is low, so that they burn up their fat reservoirs slowly.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The head is large, with small, beady eyes; the tail is short and fat. The family name Helodermatidae means �warty skin,� referring to the beaded look of the dorsal scales, due to the presence of osteoderms (small bones) under the scales. The lizard is bright pink and black, usually in a reticulated pattern, but in a banded pattern in some populations. Click to hear Gila Monster sounds Range The bulk of this lizard�s range is in western and southern Arizona, continuing to southern Sonora, Mexico, but it can also be found in extreme southeastern California, southern Nevada, extreme southwestern Utah, and southwestern New Mexico. Habitat The Gila monster is most commonly found in mountain foothills dominated by saguaros and palo verde trees. It also uses washes that extend down into valleys. It may use burrows dug by other animals, or construct burrows of its own. Life History Gila monsters prey on newborn rodents, rabbits, and hares, though ground nesting birds and lizards, as well as eggs from birds, lizards, snakes and tortoises are also eaten. Young Gila monsters may consume as much as 50 percent of their body weight in one feeding, while adults are capable of consuming 35 percent of their body weight in a single feeding."

Each of them has unique characteristics with regards to their food, habitat and self-defense. Lizards have become popular pets in the western world, with species like geckos, green iguanas and anoles being the famous ones. It is very important to research well and learn about the species before you decide to keep it as a pet.

They are found on all continents, except Antarctica. Their color, size and diet varies according to different geographical terrains. Lizards have been in existence before the Jurassic era (208-144 million years ago), a little after the Carboniferous period. They have been evolving ever since, adapting to their environment and habitat. The Early Signs of Lizard The earliest known fossil remains of a lizard is of an iguana species in India, the fossil is estimated to be around 220 million years old."

It has black, orange, pink or yellow broken blotches, bars and spots, with bands extending onto its blunt tail. Its face is black, and it has small, bead-like scales across its back. It is named for the Gila River Basin of the southwestern United States. The Gila monster is one of only two species of venomous lizards; both are of the family Helodermatidae and both are similar in appearance and habits. Its venomous cousin, the Mexican beaded lizard ( Heloderma horridum ), is slightly larger and darker. Most of the Gila monster's teeth have two grooves that conduct its venom, a nerve toxin, from glands in the lower jaw. The toxin is not injected like that of the snake, but flows into the wound as the lizard chews on its victim. While the bite can overpower predators and prey, it is rarely fatal to humans.

They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with brightly colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals as big as water buffalo.

A heavy, typically slow-moving lizard, up to 60 cm (2.0 ft) long, the Gila monster is the only venomous lizard native to the United States and one of only two known species of venomous lizards in North America, the other being its close relative, the Mexican beaded lizard ( H. horridum ).

The tail is about 20% of the body size and the largest specimens may reach 51 to 56 cm (20 to 22 in) in total length. Body mass is typically in the range of 350 to 700 g (0.77 to 1.54 lb), with 11 males having been found to average 468 g (1.032 lb). Reportedly, the very heaviest, largest specimens can weigh as much as 2,300 g (5.1 lb). [ 4] [5] [6]The Gila monster has one close living relative, the beaded lizard ( H. horridum ), as well as many extinct relatives in the Helodermatidae, the evolutionary history of which may be traced back to the Cretaceous period. The genus Heloderma has existed since the Miocene, when H. texana lived, and fragments of osteoderms from the Gila monster have been found in late Pleistocene (10,000–8,000 years ago) deposits near Las Vegas, Nevada."

Report abuse Transcript of The Gila Monster The Gila Monster The Gila Monster has made many adaptations to be comfortable in its niche. These adaptations include: Adaptations- any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment. Niche- the position or function of an organism in a community of plants and animals. Inherited Trait- charateristic passed from parents to offspring Acquired Trait- a physical characteristic that is not inherited but may be an effect of the environment - the ability to consume unusally large amounts of food in a brief period of time, which is an acquired trait - low metabolic rate, so that they burn up their fat reservoirs slowly, which is also an acquired trait - short, thick tails which are used to store fat in the winter months during hibernation or other periods of time when it will need to go without food and water, which is an inherited trait The Gila Monster is a reptile that spends approximately 95% of its time underground in mammal burrows or rocky shelters. It lives in a desert habitat and is just one of two poisonous lizards in the world. Because farmers are destroying their habitat, the Gila Monsters are an endangered species. Habitat- the natural environment of an organism In summary, the Gila Monster has made vital adaptations to its everyday life. After doing this Prezi, I feel like I have learned a lot about adaptations, habitats, niches, and traits, and feel that we as a grade should continue to work with Prezi.

Whether or not these organisms lead to disease is decided by the integrity of our body’s defense mechanisms, or immune system. When our immune system is working properly, we don’t even notice it. But when we have an under- or over-active immune system, we are at a greater risk of developing infections and other health conditions. If you are wondering how to boost your immune system, look no further — these 10 antimicrobial, immune-stimulating and antiviral supplements and essential oils can be used at home to improve your health. What Is the Immune System? The immune system is an interactive network of organs, cells and proteins that protect the body from viruses and bacteria or any foreign substances. The immune system works to neutralize and remove pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi that enter the body, recognize and neutralize harmful substances from the environment, and fight against the body’s own cells that have changes due to an illness. ( 1)The cells of the immune system originate in the bone marrow, then migrate to guard the peripheral tissues, circulating in the blood and in the specialized system of vessels called the lymphatic system. When our immune system is working properly, we don’t even notice it."

There are basically two different types of ginsing, Panex Ginsing which is also known as Asian Ginsing and Panex Quinquefolium which is known as American Ginsing. Ginsing is most well known for it's ability to improve vitality, stamina and boosting the immune system as well as helping us deal with all kinds of stress whether it's emotional, physical or mental. While there are subtle differences between these two ginsings they both are very beneficial herbs. You may also see something called Syberian Ginsing on the market which is actually Eleutherococcus Senticocus, or commonly called Eleuthro. It has been included in the ginsing family mostly due to the fact that it is also classified as an adaptogen and offers many of the same attributes as the true ginsings at a much lower price. American ginsing has a more cooling effect and works best for people with a slower metabolism. Asian ginsing is more heating and works best with people with a faster metabolism."

It has been used for centuries but Western medicine is yet to fully understand its abilities. Traditionally ginseng has been used to reduce stress on the body, increase the strength of the immune system and delay the effects of aging. However, more recently it has been found to help with Diabetes, low libido and even cancer. What is Ginseng? Similarly to ginger, ginseng is a rhizome, or a horizontal underground stem that gives rise to shoots above the ground. It is grown mostly in Asia, specifically China and Korea. Its technical Latin name, Panax, literally translates to “all-heal”. This recognizes the importance that doctors placed on ginseng in ancient times as a cure for many ailments around the body. Medicinal Uses for Ginseng As an ‘adaptogen’, ginseng reduces stress on the body."

Ginger root has been used as an anti-inflammatory and an anti-emetic, which means it reduces nausea and vomiting. Ginger, which has been used by some alternative practitioners to decrease heavy menstrual flow, has several effects on menstruation. Video of the Day Prostaglandins Prostaglandins are hormones released at the time of menstruation to cause the uterus to contract and expel the tissue that makes up the thickened uterine lining. They are responsible for cramping. Women who have more of prostaglandins called PGE2 and PGF2 alpha, which cause inflammation and uterine spasms, often have heavier than normal menstrual periods. This condition is known as menorrhagia. Ginger's Effects Ginger may have anti-inflammatory effects similar to ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications often used to treat menstrual cramps and heavy menstrual flow. Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications inhibit prostaglandin production. Ginger also inhibits the pathways that lead to prostaglandin production, which reduces the cramping and inflammation related to menorrhagia."

Most of the time a tickle in your throat that is causing a cough can be eliminated by staying well hydrated. A sore throat cough can be temporarily relieved by sucking on ice chips, using the lemon & honey as mentioned in other posts (however it feels great to warm it up in the microwave 1st).

When born a cub is eight or nine inches long and weighs only about 12 or 15 ounces. Adult female bears of some species often weigh 500 pounds or much more while one of their cubs at birth may weigh less than 1/500th as much. A human baby at birth generally represents about 1/20th of the mother’s weight. The newly born young of the common black bear are usually about eight inches long and weigh about ten ounces, representing 1/500th of the weight of the mother. That bear cubs are exceedingly small at birth was known to the ancients. In his Vulgar Errors (1646) Sir Thomas Browne disproved the “vulgar and common” notion that the bear brings forth its young “informous and unshapen” and afterwards licks them into shape and life. In Shakespeare’s III King Henry VI the hunchback Richard, Duke of Gloucester, compares himself “to .a chaos, or an unlicked bear-whelp that carries no impression like, the dam.” From this old belief arose the phrase to lick into shape, meaning to make presentable or give a good appearance to."

"text": "\"THE EVOLUTION OF MAMMALSThe changes from a reptilian to a mammal's lifestyle is significant. Reptiles are cold-blooded, relying on external heat sources to raise their body temperature to a point necessary for activity. During cold periods and at night, the reptile must accept substantial down time, awaiting the warmth of the next day to get started again. This leads to a lifestyle of relatively short bursts of energy needed to catch its prey and long periods of inactivity while the body processes the food. Mammals, on the other hand, are warm-blooded, generating their heat internally, retaining it by insulation of fur and/or fat. Having a more consistent body temperature means a more continuous activity level, which means more fuel (food) is required to supply the energy necessary for this active lifestyle. A more efficient metabolism is required which includes greater oxygen intake abilities and nutrient uptake. Larger lungs, diaphragm, a four-chambered heart, and improved circulatory systems were the result. A more efficient method of removing metabolic wastes was also required, resulting in improvements to the kidneys and the separation of the urinary and fecal excretory tracts (which are still combined in the monotremes, which include the platypus and echidna, the opossums and some species of shrews today).

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could ride around in a backpack throughout your entire childhood? You’d never have to worry about falling off of Mom’s back or getting caught by predators! Well, marsupials are the kinds of animals that can do this. They are known as pouched mammals, because the adult females have a marsupium, or pouch. It is usually on the outside of the body where the young (called joeys) grow up. The pouch acts as a warm, safe place where the joeys grow. Like all marsupial females, the wombat has a pouch—but it opens toward the mother’s rear, rather than toward her head. This keeps dirt from filling up the pouch when the mother wombat is busy digging!Most adult female mammals give birth outside of the body. During development inside of the mother, the embryo is connected to the mother’s blood supply by a placenta."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature10 Facts About the Tasmanian Tiger Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 18, 2017The Tasmanian Tiger is to Australia what Sasquatch is to North America—a creature that has often been sighted, but never actually corralled, by deluded amateurs. The difference, of course, is that Sasquatch is completely mythical, while the Tasmanian Tiger was a real marsupial that only went extinct about a hundred years ago. Below, you'll learn 10 fascinating facts about this not-quite-mythical mammal.01of 10The Tasmanian Tiger Wasn't Really a Tiger Wikimedia Commons. The Tasmanian Tiger earned its name because of the distinctive tiger-like stripes along its lower back and tail, which were actually more reminiscent of a hyena than a big cat. In fact, though, this \"\"tiger\"\" was a marsupial, complete with a characteristic pouch in which the females gestated their young, and thus was more closely related to wombats, koala bears and kangaroos. ( Another common nickname, the Tasmanian Wolf, is a bit more apropos, given this animal's resemblance to a large dog. ) 02of 10The Tasmanian Tiger Is Also Known as the Thylacine Tasmanian Museum. If \"\"Tasmanian Tiger\"\" is a deceptive name, where does that leave us? Well, the genus and species name of this extinct predator is Thylacinus cynocephalus (literally, Greek for \"\"dog-headed pouched mammal\"\"), but naturalists and paleontologists more commonly refer to it as the Thylacine. If that word sounds vaguely familiar, it's because it contains one of the roots of Thylacoleo, the \"\"marsupial lion,\"\" a saber-toothed tiger -like predator that vanished from Australia about 40,000 years ago.03of 10The Tasmanian Tiger Went Extinct in the Mid-20th Century Wikimedia Commons."

They normally have only one calf at a time, although there have been rare multiple births. How Many Calves Three species of elephants exist: Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis). Although they are very similar in many ways, they also have many differences, including size. But single calves are common all across the board. Although twins are not out of the question, they are extremely rare in the elephant world. Right After Birth Although young calves typically enter the world solo, they are already very sophisticated in terms of development. Not only can baby elephants stand on their own very soon after birth, their senses of smell and vision are already working. Because of this, elephants are classified as \"\"precocial\"\" animals."

Most terrestrial ungulates use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole body weight while moving. The term means, roughly, \"\"being hoofed \"\" or \"\"hoofed animal\"\". As a descriptive term, \"\"ungulate\"\" normally excludes cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises), as they do not possess most of the typical morphological characteristics of ungulates, but recent discoveries indicate that they are descended from early artiodactyls. [ 4] Ungulates are typically herbivorous (though some species are omnivorous, such as pigs ), and many employ specialized gut bacteria to allow them to digest cellulose, as in the case of ruminants.

[ 5]However, in 2009 morphological [6] [7] [8] [9] and molecular [10] [11] work has found that aardvarks, hyraxes, sea cows, and elephants are more closely related to sengis, tenrecs, and golden moles than to the perissodactyls and artiodactyls, and form Afrotheria.

If you are unsure if an animal is a herbivore or not, check the eyes. Eyes on the sides of the head (like in deer, rabbits, mice, ect.) indicate that they are herbivores. Their eyes are on the sides so that they have better 360 degree vision to look out for predators.

FACT: Marsupials are divided into two basic groups. Marsupials belong to a group of mammals that includes two basic groups, the American marsupials and the Australian marsupials. American marsupials inhabit North, South and Central America and include two basic groups, the opossums and shrew opossums. Australian marsupials inhabit Australia and New Guinea and include include animal groups such as the kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, quolls, wombats, numbats, possums, marsupial moles, bandicoots and many others. FACT: There are about 334 species of marsupials. There are about 99 species of American marsupials and 235 species of Australian marsupials. Of the all marsupials, the most diverse are the Diprotodontia, a group of Australian marsupials that includes about 120 species of kangaroos, possums, wombats, wallabies, and koalas. FACT: Marsupials are most diverse in Australia and New Guinea where there are no placental mammals.

My parents have a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix that loves to roam around the 25-acre property. One of his favorite things to do, besides roaming for critters in the woods, is chase outgoing cars to our private gate (we call it an escorting service), which is about 3/4 of a mile from the house. For the 8 months they have owned him he would normally stop at the gate, and turn around and run back to the house. However, in the last month he has been trying to follow the cars past the gate and onto our neighbors’ property. He never wonders far, but he thinks it’s a game to get him back onto “his (my parents) property”. My parents have now invested into a remote shock collar to buzz him when he tries to “escort” cars past the gate. However he doesn’t seem to understand it. I’m thinking it could possibly be a dominance issue, but since I’m away at college I can’t see the behavior myself. Could you give me some insight/ tips on how to correct this behavior please?"

One could also apply it, and sometimes does apply it, to a conservative with no enemies to the left and no friends to the right, who thus conspires to the eradication of conservatism and its ever leftwards movement, which strictly speaking is inconsistent with the first definition. One implies physical and biological elimination, one implies mere memetic elimination. However, the one is in practice pretty much equivalent to the other since leftist memes are in practice race replacement memes, as exemplified in Baltimore. Maybe in future there will be conflict between these two definitions. The broader definition of cuckservative, however, communicates the neoreactionary concept of innerparty/outerparty, shows how the republican party does the left’s work for it."

Sheep are a herd / flock animal. If one sheep bolts for no reason, the majority if not the entire flock is likely to do the same thing. The only thing with a more questionable intelligence than a sheep is the idiot that chooses to raise sheep. They are dumb. Really really dumb. They know how to eat, drink, reproduce… and that's about it. That being said: the sheep I am forced to bottle rear are MUCH more adept and adaptable than their field counterparts. There is likely an argument here for nature vs nurture, as they remember the person, the dogs and others with which they are raised, but often have a very hard time adjusting to “\"\"flock life” when and if returned to that lifestyle."

Well, after you get over the adorable shock of the adorableness of your adorable new baby goats, then you can begin to think about how to care for mama goat who most likely pushed out some multiple babies.0-12 hours after birth: MAMA GOAT: Your job is to make sure all the placentas were extracted. This can be hard to tell, especially if you weren’t there for the birth and your mama goat ate ’em up like a nice slimy dessert. After delivery, I like to give my doe a small amount of grain mixed with molasses and a bit of honey to give her a boost of energy. Also, it’s good to offer some fresh warm water as well. BABY GOATS: Your job is to make sure your doe (mama goat) is being a good mother. All does are slightly different in their personalities, but basically you want to make sure your doe is doing the following: Licking her baby goats Is concerned for them when they cry and goes to their aid Stands still while they nurse. Although baby goats stand within minutes of being born, they are pretty wobbly, and they need a good mama that is patient and stays still while they nurse. If your doe isn’t standing and letting the babies nurse, you’ll need to hold her still and “teach” her how to stand as her babies nurse."

Full of trace minerals, vitamins, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein and fatty acids, unpasturized goat’s milk is incredibly easy for our dogs to digest and utilize. Even dogs who have a hard time digesting dairy products derived from cow’s milk can do extremely well on milk from a goat. With fat molecules that are 1/5th the size of those found in bovine milk, digestion happens in as little as 20 minutes. Here are three reasons that you should supplement your dog’s diet with goat’s milk:1. Great for Digestion Raw goat’s milk is perfect for dogs who suffer from any number of digestive issues. Let’s face it, some dogs just have sensitive stomachs. Whether raw, cooked or kibble fed, some dogs simply cannot digest their food well. The result of this can range from an inability to properly assimilate nutrients to gas and loose stools on a regular basis. Chock full of probiotics and enzymes, raw goat’s milk can assist your sensitive dog in beating the symptoms of an underachieving digestive system."

Today on the agenda: what does \"\"GOAT\"\" mean and how do you use it? I hate to break it to you, but it has nothing to do with actual goats. Sorry about that. So: What exactly can we define \"\"GOAT\"\" as? Let's turn to our handy friend, the Urban Dictionary, to see if we can piece together the meaning of this slang term:\"\"An acronym for G.reatest O.f A.ll T.ime \"\"\"\" Greatest Of All Time.

Flowers & Seasons are intimately bound to each other. Most of the flowers are season - specific. Though some flowers are found throughout the year, there are some not particularly affected by changing seasons, viz., Alstromeria,Anthurium, Aster, Bourvardia, Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Gerbera Daisy,Lily, Asiatic Lily. Spring Flowers Spring Time the time of growth and renewal of new plant and animal life. Spring comes at different times in the North and South Hemispheres.

"text": "\"Bulbs in the Florida Garden Florida's warm climate allows gardeners to choose from a wide variety of plant bulbs. With proper care, these plants will thrive and produce beautiful flowers year after year. What Is a Bulb? Bulbs are thick underground storage organs that help plants survive tough weather conditions, such as drought or cold. Bulbs are usually the plants' reproductive organs as well. Not all bulbous plants have true bulbs. Others have corms, tubers, tuberous roots, or rhizomes. In this article the terms \"\"bulb\"\" and \"\"bulbous plants\"\" will refer to all bulbous plants, not just true bulbs. Choosing a Bulb Florida's climate lets growers raise a variety of tropical and subtropical bulbs in their garden for bedding plants or cut flowers. However, common northern species such as tulips, hyacinths, and some lilies do not do well this far south."

Evidence of flowers dating back to the prehistoric period have been discovered through Flower Fossils. There are traces of association of flowers with humans during the paleolithic age. Archaeologists uncovered skeletons of a man, two women and an infant buried together in soil containing pollen of flowers in a cave in Iraq. This association of flowers with the cave dwelling Neanderthals of the Pleistocene epoch is indicative of the role of flowers in burial rituals. Analysis of the sediment pollen concentrated in batches, implied that possible bunches of flowers had been placed on the grave. Closer examination of the flower pollen enabled scientists to identify many flowers that were present, all of which had some therapeutic properties. The use of flowers also testify abundant floral varieties available at that time. People have used flowers to express their feelings, enhance their surroundings, and to commemorate important rituals and observances. All forms of art, depict the use of flowers: music, books, paintings, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries, etc."

How to Care for a Gladiolus After It Blooms The flower spikes of gladiolus hybrids mixed amid the unusual blossoms of species gladiolus provide a constantly changing landscape through the seasons in a mild-winter Mediterranean climate. Hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 10, depending on the variety, gladiolus (Gladiolus ssp.) are native to Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The familiar flowers of highly hybridized varieties are often seen in cottage gardens and florist shops. The less commonly seen South African varieties are planted in late fall, producing delicate, colorful flowers in late winter and early spring. Corms Gladiolus grow from a corm, which is a thick, bulblike stem. Generally, corms are planted between 3 and 5 inches deep, or four times the height of the corm. Stakes are often placed next to the corms when they are planted, providing a sturdy support for tall flower spikes."

Creating the garden can be a way to work through your loss. When your garden blooms again in upcoming years, you may find comfort and hope in it. Choosing Flowers for Your Memorial Garden When it comes to selecting the flowers for your garden, there are several factors to consider. For example, you might consider the types of flowers that grow best in your region and the size of your memorial garden. Certain flowers seem to lend themselves to memorial gardens, such as bleeding heart, forget-me-not, and baby’s breath. The Meanings of Flowers Several cultures have assigned specific meanings to flowers, notably in Japanese tradition and in English Victorian tradition. These flowers with cultural meanings might be particularly appropriate for a child’s memorial garden.

"text": "Plant Parts and Plant Parts and Functions Functions Plant Identification • Roots, Stems, Leaves and Flowers are the Criteria. Plant Identification – Dicots - most of the other plants such as the shrubs, trees, and flowers.– Monocots – grasses, grain crops, lilies, gladiolas, and palm trees Types of Roots • Tap Root – Have a main central root and may have some lateral branching – E.g. Carrots – Penetrate the soil to various depths - some only a few feet, others like the mesquite to as deep as 114 ft. • Fibrous – Have many roots of equal size and a lot of lateral branching – Fibrous roots are generally much more diffuse and closer to the surface – prevent any other plant from becoming established Other Types of Roots • Adventitious Buds commonly develop on stems or roots - ex: stolons and rhizomes (Bermuda grass, cherry tree, Sumac and raspberry suckers) • Prop Roots augment regular roots for anchorage aid - ex: corn - roots come out above soil and help hold plant up Other Types of Roots • Aerial Roots extend down from the branches into the soil - ex: banyan trees • Pneumatophoresstick up from the mud for the purpose of absorbing oxygen – ex: cypress and mangrove Other Types of Roots • Mycorrhizal fungi roots - found on trees in temperate forests such as pines and also on ferns, lettuce, white clover, perennial rye and orchids Other Types of Roots • Haustorial - parasitic roots which not only anchor but also penetrate into the hosts vascular system for water and nutrients – ex: mistletoe Other Types of Roots • Storage roots - starch and other molecules are stored for growth or flowering needs (ex: carrots, beets and turnips) Other Types of Roots • Nitrogen fixing roots - members of the Leguminosae family (alfalfa, peas and clover) have a bacteria that infects their roots and forms nodules. The bacteria are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, to a form, that the plant can use. Roots from seeds • Tap Root – Seeds contain an undeveloped plant (embryo) – Seed germination embryonic root (radicle) grows by dividing and elongation of cells – Forms one primary root – two leaves emerge from embryo • Fibrous root – Embryos of grasses have a single radicle (root shoot) – Also has other embryonic roots (seminal roots) forming just above the radicle– All of these branch to form the fibrous root – one leaf emerges from embryo Stem • For identification: type of stem (woody or herbaceous), monocot or dicot, has pubescence (hair) or not (glabrous), shape of stem (square – round), or contains glands. Stem Monocot stem Stem Mature Structure of Woody vs Herbaceous Stems • Herbaceous stems – Lack secondary growth - because plants only live one year/growing season (annuals) – Stems remain soft and flexible. – Buds lack protective scales (don’t need to survive harsh conditions) Mature Structure of Woody vs Herbaceous Stems • Woody stems – Plants living and growing over multiple seasons have secondary growth (xylem, phloem) increasing diameter of the stems Specialized Stems • Rhizomes - underground horizontal stems (ex: perennial grasses, bamboo) - may also serve as a storage function (irises) – will grow a plant and roots at a node. Specialized Stems • Stolons - runners - usually above ground, horizontal stems (really elongated internodes) – will grow a plant and roots at a node - ex: strawberries Specialized Stems • Tubers - several internodes at the end of an underground rhizome (ex: potatoes) - eyes are axillary buds – where the tuber will grow a plant Specialized Stems • Bulbs - large bud with small stem at lower end - storage in the form of numerous, fleshy leaves - ex: onion, lily, tulip Specialized Stems • Corms - look like bulbs, but are mostly stem tissue with a few, papery leaves on the outside ex: gladiolus, crocus Leaves • Parts of a Dicot Leaf – Leaf blade – expanded, usually flat portion of a leaf – contains chloroplasts – Petiole – connects the blade of a leaf to a stem or branch – holds leaf up for better air flow and to catch the light – Veins – threads of vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) – Node – place on a stem where leaves or branches normally originate – Stem – used for support of leaf Where leaf would be attached to the branch or stem at the node. Petiol e Leaf Blade Veins Dicot Leaf Parts of a Monocot Leaf • Node – where leaf arises or originates from • Blade – leaf blade – flat upper portion of leaf • Stem – used for support of leaf, inflorescence, and seed heads Parts of a Monocot Leaf • Sheath – part of leaf that holds leaf to stem – encases stem • Ligule – membrane-like tissue extending up from the sheath (on inside) – keeps dirt and moisture out – clear membrane on leaf where attaches to stem Blad e Sheat h Monocot Leaf Nod e Coll ar Auricl e Ligul Ste m Parts of a Monocot Leaf • Auricle – small appendages that extend out and sometimes around the stem – found at the junction of the blade and sheath – can be clasping or non clasping appendages Parts of a Monocot Leaf • Collar – area between the leaf blade and sheath – auricles and ligules are on the inside of this area Picture showing parts of a grass plant."

Flowers are a part of the most important occasions in our lives. They are conspicuously present on birthdays, funerals, graduation, weddings, etc. forming an integral part of our lives. Some flowers have religious significance too. It is impossible for any person to be completely unaware of flower meanings. Everyone knows that a red rose stands for romantic love and that one does not send yellow roses to anyone in mourning. However, meanings are associated not only with roses but also with other flowers. Most people do not consider flower meanings before gifting flowers."

"text": "Viruses can multiply only inside a living cell. While some viruses, such as cucumber mosaic, die quickly if outside a cell or if the cell dies, other viruses such as tobacco mosaic retain their ability to infect for years after the infected plant part dies. Many different viruses can infect plants. Certain crops are well known to be affected by virus diseases including geraniums, roses, Easter lilies, dahlias, gladiolus, and tulips. Depending on which virus is involved, the disease may be spread from infected plants to healthy plants…mechanically on workers' hands or on toolsby aphid, thrips, whitefly, leafhopper, mite or nematode feedingthrough dodderthrough grafting Vegetative propagation perpetuates virus diseases. Cuttings taken from an infected plant usually are infected even if no symptoms are immediately exhibited by the cutting. The virus particles are found in all parts of the plant except the few cells at the tips of the growing points. It is these few cells that are removed and grown into a healthy plant free of virus by the process called meristem tip culturing. Symptoms vary with the virus involved, the species of plant infected, and the environmental conditions. In some cases, such as virus disease of geraniums, certain environmental conditions bring out symptoms while other conditions mask or hide symptoms."

"text": "Benefits of Glandular Supplements For hundreds of years, problems affecting the health of glands, organs and tissues were traditionally treated with consumption of raw glands, organs and tissues. Today, glandular supplements in powdered or tablet form have become a popular choice for good health in lieu of a raw product. Glandular supplements are generally extracted from cow (bovine), sheep (ovine) or pig (porcine) sources and are concentrated into a product for healing equivalent glands in humans. These can be beneficial for individuals not getting adequate daily nutrients – particularly those that support the adrenal and thyroid glands. Adrenal Glands Two small glands which are situated on top of the kidneys are the adrenal glands. These are responsible for the body’s “fight or flight” response which sends adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. The adrenal glands also help in the maintenance of over 50 hormones within the body. The term “adrenal fatigue” was coined in the late 1990s by Dr. James Wilson in reference to low adrenal function often associated with high levels of stress. Some indications of adrenal fatigue are muscle weakness, low sex drive, mild depression, foggy thinking, inability to handle stress, cravings for salty foods and heightened PMS, perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. Adrenal support is particularly important for regulation of hormones in women approaching menopause."

The material is lyophilized, which means it is immediately frozen, then subjected to a high vacuum that vaporizes moisture directly from the solid state. Formulated by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez M. D. Glandular tissues can be rich sources of nutrients, enzymes, hormone pre-cursors, and other factors that support specific gland-related metabolism and physiological function. When prepared with sufficient technical sophistication and sensitivity to their delicate nature, some of these glandulars can retain a significant portion of their biological activity. These glandulars are lyophilized according to individualized procedures so as to best preserve the natural makeup of the original gland. Pancreas Pork Natural Glandular is a customized lyophilized product that is extremely potent in enzyme activities. It contains high levels of amylase, protease, and lipase as well as other digestive factors naturally occurring in the pancreas.

"text": "\"Tweet (News Target) An estimated 98 million American adults have high cholesterol or total blood cholesterol values of 200 mg/d L or higher. Your doctor may be following the clarion call, insisting you take a statin drug to lower these levels. Both you and your doctor may not be aware that hypothyroidism, according to the National Cholesterol Education Program, is a common secondary cause, after diet, associated with high cholesterol. The Mayo Clinic concurs with medical experts that, \"\"hypothyroidism may also be associated with an increased risk of heart disease, primarily because high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol - the \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol - can occur in people with an underactive thyroid. It is not unusual when low thyroid function is addressed, cholesterol will often return to normal levels.\"\" Hypothyroidism is a condition where too little thyroid hormone is in the bloodstream, and yet of the more than 13 million Americans who have a thyroid disorder, nearly half have been undiagnosed. \"\" The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. If the thyroid gland produces too little hormone, metabolism can slow, having a direct impact on the body's ability to clear cholesterol from the bloodstream. As a result, the risk of cholesterol being deposited in the arteries, especially around the heart, is increased, thereby increasing the risk for heart disease.\"\" Even if your thyroid is under active, and not true hypothyroidism, there can be an increase in total cholesterol levels, in addition to an impairment of your heart's ability to pump efficiently."

"text": "\"Foods for Glandular Feverby R. Y. LANGHAM, PH. D. Aug. 14, 2017Glandular fever, also called infectious mononucleosis, is a viral infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Symptoms can include extreme fatigue, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, weakness, decreased appetite, skin rash, headaches and a swollen spleen. According to the website NHS Choices, glandular fever is usually spread from person to person through saliva. This infection usually improves within two weeks. Treatment typically consists of antiviral drugs, painkillers, rest, fluids and a healthy diet, which can ease glandular fever symptoms and aid in the healing process. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Eggs A healthy egg omelet can help alleviate symptoms associated with glandular fever. According to Phyllis A.

"text": "Copper Toxicity: Is Copper Cookware Safe? To answer the question “ Is Copper Cookware Safe ?” it is first important to understand what copper is and how vital it is for the body to exist. Copper is a mineral that is essential for good health. The human body uses copper for a wide range of things. Copper is used by the human body to attach calcium to our bones and our ligaments. Copper is used by the human cells to help in the production of energy. Copper, in conjunction with zinc, is used to help our immune system fight off infections. Copper is only beneficial to the body if it is present in minimal amounts. When excessive amounts of copper begin to build up in the body, an individual may start to experience the negative effects of copper toxicity."

The idea was originally met with scepticism, but consensus now is that it is indeed a true risk element and of interest to screening mammography. Essentially, breast density is a comparison of the relative amounts of fat versus fibroglandular tissues in the breast. Women with ‘ dense ‘ breasts have a higher percentage of fibrous and glandular tissue and less fat tissue. ( Fibroglandular parenchyma, basically means breast tissue). And that is the summary. Mostly fat means low density. Mostly not fat means high density. This is an average mammogram, not extra fatty or extra dense."

Cortisol side effects, safety, risks and danger A high cortisol level for prolonged periods can increase the risk of infection, high blood pressure, peptic ulcers, diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), and depression. Recent findings show that treatment in the form of prednisone or another form of corticosteroid increases the risk for atrial fibrillation. This treatment influences this arrhythmia no matter what the underlying reason of the cortisol treatment. Definition: Cortisol is a natural steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland cortex. It has a strong diurnal variation, generally high early in the morning and falling during the day. Cortisol level typically increases over the first few minutes of the day, reaching a peak 20-30 minutes after waking. Also called the stress hormone, it is available synthetically under various names including dexamethasone, prednisone, triamcinolone, fluocinolone, and others. Cortisol, the active form of cortisone, is a hormone involved in a variety of different bodily functions, from the immune system to the regulation of blood sugar and liver function. Those with a medical condition known as Addison's disease have very low levels. Some companies sell \"\"cortisol blocking\"\" herbal products and claim these users will benefit with weight loss."

Information on this page: Estrogens and Progesterone: The Basics Estrogen Dominance Symptoms Causes of Estrogen Dominance Health Consequences Estrogen Dominance Solutions Suggested Further Reading Estrogens and Progesterone: The Basics All hormones are chemical messengers that act much like a switchboard operator, directing the body to do one thing or another.

When your hormones are in balance, you feel great, look great, have sustainable energy, a healthy appetite and a healthy sex drive. When hormones become out of balance, however, we often experience a wide variety of symptoms that can affect mood and energy, and may also lead to more serious conditions like the development of uterine fibroid tumors, fibrocystic breasts or hormone positive cancers, among others.

This is a common condition and at times can become chronic and severe enough to cause significant impairment and disability. Calcium and Magnesium The most common imbalance seen with these conditions is either a calcium and/or magnesium deficiency. This may be due to simply a deficiency state or the condition we call biounavailable calcium and magnesium. An acute deficiency state is less common and could be due to a diet high in sugar and foods such as soda pop that contain phosphoric acid. This acid binds calcium and magnesium and reduces their absorption from the intestines. More common is a chronic low tissue level of calcium and magnesium. This is due in most cases to biounavailable calcium and magnesium which occurs in slow oxidizers. It is discussed in the section below. Slow Oxidation In this situation, adrenal and thyroid glandular activity are diminished due to continued or extreme stress from a poor diet, fatigue or other causes, resulting in nutritional depletion and/or damage to the glands."

Last Updated: July 22nd, 2015ENERGIZE IN SPITE OF LOW THYROIDYour thyroid is located in the neck and iodine is required for efficient thyroid function. Often misdiagnosed as simple depression, low thyroid can respond well to lifestyle changes, the right diet, and the proper supplements... Low thyroid has become a very common health concern with very real symptoms that affect a person physically and emotionally. Many people may have it and not know it; in fact, it can go undiagnosed for many years because the “normal” level of thyroid hormones can vary from person to person. Many natural health care practitioners prefer the reliability of the basal temperature test (done in the morning) because it can identify people with borderline low thyroid. Low thyroid causes the body to be slightly colder than a healthy person. While only the difference of at the most two degrees, it can have broad ranging effects on many different functions of the body resulting in many different symptoms. Firstly, in a hypothyroid state the body’s metabolic rate is decreased. This is why most people with low thyroid experience weight gain. Secondly, lower levels of thyroid hormones can affect the production of neurotransmitters and how well they are used in the brain and other parts of the body - this can lead to common low thyroid symptoms like depression, anxiety, poor memory, and insomnia. In this respect, it can also affect digestion because enzymes, just like neurotransmitters, do not function as they should when the body temperature is lowered - this can result in poor digestion of food, which can be manifested as gas, upset stomach, heartburn or constipation."

"text": "94SHARESFacebook Twitter Google Cortisol is a naturally occurring steroid hormone in the human body. Its release from the adrenal cortex is stimulated by a brain hormone called ACTH, and the release of ACTH on the other hand is stimulated by physical or mental stress, which is why cortisol is often called “the stress hormone”. Because of the “scary stress hormone label”, many people think that cortisol levels should be kept as low as possible. That ain’t the full-truth though……Without cortisol, any kind of minor trauma would instantly bring you into full shock and kill you. Without cortisol you wouldn’t be able to walk with 2-feet. Cortisol also wakes you up in the morning ( levels peak in the morning and dip towards the evening ), and it’s needed in the process of burning fat ( fat mobilization to be precise ). In other words, cortisol is definitely not as evil as some ” fitness experts” claim…That is, at least in people who have normal patterns of cortisol secretion and are not under any kind of chronic physical or mental stress, and who can eat and exercise in a way that supports healthy cortisol secretion rather than messes it up. Sadly, that’s not the majority of people in this day and age. The modern 8-5 jive of work was not how the human body was meant to operate, and I guess it’s safe to say that the vast majority of the working-class are constantly under some level of work-related stress. When most people hit the gym they do hours of grueling endurance-type cardio ( which is notorious for skyrocketing cortisol ), and they follow-up with a high-volume daily resistance training programs that can easily put them into a state of overtraining, which furthermore boosts the chronic elevation of cortisol ……In a worst case scenario, that’s all topped of with a low-calorie low-carb diet, both of which are known for completely messing up your natural cortisol secretion ( study, study )."

Myelin is the insulating, waxy substance around the nerves in your central nervous system. When the myelin is damaged by an autoimmune disease or self-destructive process in your body, the function of those nerves deteriorate over time, resulting in a number of symptoms, including: Muscle weakness Imbalance, or loss of coordination Astigmatism and vision loss Tremors MS may progress steadily, or acute attacks may be followed by a temporary remission of symptoms. In the video above, Dr. Terry Wahls tells the inspiring story of how she reversed multiple sclerosis after seven years of deterioration on the best conventional treatments available -- simply by changing her diet!Nutrition for Your Brain and Central Nervous System Through her research into MS, Dr. Wahls discovered that, for some unknown reason, in addition to the commonly known symptoms, MS patients' brains also tend to shrink. This roused her curiosity, and led her to research other diseases that have similar brain shrinkage, namely Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's disease. One common denominator is poorly functioning mitochondria. Mitochondria are like little \"\"batteries\"\" in your cells that manage the energy supply to the cell, and unless you consume the correct nutrients, eventual mitochondrial malfunction is the obvious result. She discovered that three nutrients in particular are essential for proper mitochondrial function: Animal-based omega-3 fat Creatine Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10), or better yet the reduced version known as ubiquinol Just by adding those three to her diet, her decline began to slow."

"text": "\"The Flying Girl is a novel written by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz books. It was first published in 1911. In the book, Baum pursued an innovative blending of genres to create a feminist adventure melodrama. The book was followed by a sequel, The Flying Girl and Her Chum, published the next year, 1912. Both books were illustrated by Joseph Pierre Nuyttens, the artist who also illustrated Baum's Annabel and Phoebe Daring in 1912. As with Baum's other books for girls, these two novels were published under the pseudonym \"\" Edith Van Dyne . \"\" Feminism Baum lived during an era of increasing feminist and suffragette agitation; women gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution in 1920, the year after his death. Baum's mother-in-law Matilda Joslyn Gage was a leading feminist of her generation, and influenced Baum's views. [ 1]It is certainly true that Baum pokes gentle fun at the feminist and suffragette movement in his books – the most obvious example being General Jinjur and her Army of Revolt in The Marvelous Land of Oz. Yet Baum also had a strong sympathy with the broad goals of the movement, a sympathy that is reflected in his literary canon."

It is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, an alternative telling of the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film The Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum 's classic 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The musical is told from the perspective of the witches of the Land of Oz; its plot begins before and continues after Dorothy Gale 's arrival in Oz from Kansas, and it includes several references to the 1939 film and Baum's novel. Wicked tells the story of two unlikely friends, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (whose name later changes to Glinda the Good Witch ), who struggle through opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, reactions to the Wizard 's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. Produced by Universal Stage Productions in coalition with Marc Platt, Jon B. Platt and David Stone, with direction by Joe Mantello and choreography by Wayne Cilento, the original production of Wicked premiered on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October 2003, after completing pre-Broadway tryouts at San Francisco's Curran Theatre in May/June 2003. Its original stars included Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, and Joel Grey as the Wizard. [ 1] The original Broadway production won three Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards, while its original cast album received a Grammy Award."

"text": "\"Background The Wizard of Oz (1939) is everybody's cherished favorite, perennial fantasy film musical from MGM during its golden years. It was first re-released in 1949, and then in 1955, and then for many seasons, it was featured regularly on network TV as a prime time event (its first two showings were on CBS television on November 3, 1956 and in December, 1959). The movie soon became a classic institution with annual showings for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and/or Easter time, and was a rite of passage for everyone, and probably has been seen by more people than any other motion picture over multiple decades. According to the Library of Congress, the musical fantasy is the most watched movie in history. Initially, however, the film was not commercially successful (at $3 million) with production and promotion costs set at $3 million, but it was critically acclaimed. All of its images (the Yellow Brick Road, the Kansas twister), characters (e.g., Auntie Em, Toto, Dorothy, the Wicked Witch), dialogue (e.g., \"\"Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! \"\", \"\" We're not in Kansas anymore,\"\" \"\"Follow the Yellow Brick Road,\"\" or the film's final line: \"\"There's no place like home\"\"), and music (\"\"Over the Rainbow\"\") have become indelibly remembered, and the classic film has been honored with dozens of books, TV shows (such as HBO's dramatic prison series Oz ), references in other films, and even by pop groups (singer Elton John with his Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road album, or Pink Floyd's 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon ). The film's plot is easily condensed: lonely and sad Kansas farmgirl Dorothy dreams of a better place, without torment against her dog Toto from a hateful neighbor spinster, so she plans to run away. During a fierce tornado, she is struck on the head and transported to a land 'beyond the rainbow' where she meets magical characters from her Kansas life transformed within her unconscious dream state. After travels down a Yellow Brick Road to the Land of Oz, and the defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy and her friends are rewarded by the Wizard of Oz with their hearts' desires - and Dorothy is enabled to return home to Kansas."

"text": "\"Defying Gravity is the finale for the show 's first act, when Elphaba, who, until now, has seen the Wizard of Oz as a heroic figure who can give her life some noble direction, discovers that he is not at all what he seems. The Wizard's regime, in fact, is waging a propaganda campaign against the Animals of Oz (including Dr. Dillamond ), who have been oppressed to such a degree that they lose their powers of speech or worse, never learn to speak at all. ( Dr. Dillamond, for instance, initially starts to lose his speech in \"\" Something Bad \"\" when he pronounces bad as 'baaaad,' bleating like an actual goat). Realizing this, and despite Glinda 's attempts to dissuade her, Elphaba vows to do everything in her power to fight the Wizard and his sinister plans. She sings of how she wants to live without limits, going against the rules that others have set for her, trying to convince Glinda to follow her, by a moment, without success. During the song, Elphaba, apparently cornered by those who are hunting her, enchants a broomstick to levitate and, in the last verse, rises from the stage and levitates above the angered Citizens of Oz, who try in vain to \"\"bring her down. \"\" The song is widely regarded as being the musical's signature song, although the songs \"\" Popular \"\" and For Good have lived up to its name as well. The musical has generally received thunderous applause after this song due to the song's status as a showstopper. The song touches on elements from some earlier themes, with Elphaba singing \"\"Unlimited!\"\" as sung in \"\" The Wizard and I \"\" and the Citizens of Oz again singing that \"\" No One Mourns The Wicked . \"\""

An urban reimagining of L. Frank Baum 's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz featuring an entirely African-American cast, The Wiz was loosely adapted from the 1974 Broadway musical of the same name. The film follows the adventures of Dorothy, a shy twenty-four-year-old Harlem, New York City, schoolteacher who finds herself magically transported to the urban fantasy Land of Oz, which resembles an alternative fantasy version of New York City. Befriended by a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion, she travels through the city to seek an audience with the mysterious Wiz, who they say is the only one powerful enough to send her home. Produced by Rob Cohen and directed by Sidney Lumet, The Wiz stars Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Mabel King, Theresa Merritt, Thelma Carpenter, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor. The film's story was reworked from William F. Brown's Broadway libretto by Joel Schumacher, and Quincy Jones supervised the adaptation of Charlie Smalls and Luther Vandross 's songs for film. A handful of new songs, written by Jones and the songwriting team of Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, were added for the film version. Upon its original theatrical release, The Wiz was a critical and commercial failure, and marked the end of the resurgence of African-American films that began with the blaxploitation movement of the early 1970s. [ 4] [5] [6] Despite its initial failure, the film became a cult classic, particularly among African-American audiences, Oz enthusiasts, and fans of Michael Jackson. ["

"text": "\"Difference Between Fibrous and Globular Proteins Posted on June 13, 2014 by Yash Fibrous vs Globular Proteins Proteins are biological compounds that are composed of one or more polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is made up of amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Thus, the functional and structural unit of protein is amino acid. Due to their huge molecular mass, proteins are considered as one of the most important macromolecules in the body. During the synthesis of proteins, polypeptide chains are folded up to form specific three-dimensional (3D) structures. Depending on the nature of these three- dimensional structures proteins are divided into two main categories; namely, globular and fibrous proteins. These two types of proteins are equally important as they carry out many functions in the body. What is Globular Protein? Globular proteins are water soluble proteins with spherical shapes and irregular amino acid sequences. The polypeptide chains are folded in, to form their shapes, and this shape is specific for each globular protein type."

Polysaccharides are made from monosaccharides, proteins from amino acids, nucleic acids from nucleotides, lipids from fatty acids and glycerol. 2. Polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids are formed from repeating identical or similar subunits called monomers, and are therefore polymers. These build up into large molecules called macromolecules. 3. The smaller units are joined together by condensation reactions. Condensation involves removal of water. The reverse process, adding water, is called hydrolysis and is used to break the large molecules back down into smaller molecules."

"text": "Globular proteins, also known as spheroproteins, are proteins formed by compacted amino acid chains, which are folded into intricate shapes that often roughly resemble spheres. This type of protein represents one of the three major protein groups. The two other groups are fibrous proteins, which are primarily structural proteins, and membrane proteins, which are usually found attached to the membranes of cells and their organelles. A key difference between globular and fibrous proteins is that the former type is usually soluble in water, and therefore in blood plasma, while the latter type is not. Globular protein molecules can play many roles: they can be enzymes, biological messengers and transport mechanisms, and they may also be found acting as structural proteins within animal cells. Almost all enzymes are globular proteins that vary in size, shape, and complexity. The role of enzymes in biochemistry is to act as catalysts, substances that speed or slow the rate of chemical reactions. Some common examples are amylase and lactase. Amylase is found in the saliva of humans, where it aids the digestive process by breaking starches down into simpler sugars. Lactase is the enzyme that allows humans to digest lactose; individuals with insufficient levels of this enzyme are often lactose intolerant."

[ 5] Similar to integrins, fibronectin binds extracellular matrix components such as collagen, fibrin, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (e.g. syndecans ). Fibronectin exists as a protein dimer, consisting of two nearly identical monomers linked by a pair of disulfide bonds. [ 5] The fibronectin protein is produced from a single gene, but alternative splicing of its pre-m RNA leads to the creation of several isoforms. Two types of fibronectin are present in vertebrates: [5]soluble plasma fibronectin (formerly called \"\"cold-insoluble globulin\"\", or CIg) is a major protein component of blood plasma (300 μg/ml) and is produced in the liver by hepatocytes.insoluble cellular fibronectin is a major component of the extracellular matrix. It is secreted by various cells, primarily fibroblasts, as a soluble protein dimer and is then assembled into an insoluble matrix in a complex cell-mediated process. Fibronectin plays a major role in cell adhesion, growth, migration, and differentiation, and it is important for processes such as wound healing and embryonic development. [ 5] Altered fibronectin expression, degradation, and organization has been associated with a number of pathologies, including cancer and fibrosis.

If free rotation were possible around even a fraction of these bonds, proteins could assume an almost infinite number of threedimensional structures. Each protein has a specific chemical or structural function, however, strongly suggesting that each protein has a unique three-dimensional structure (Fig. 7-1). The simple fact that proteins can be crystallized provides strong evidence that this is the case. The ordered arrays of molecules in a crystal can generally form only if the molecular units making up the crystal are identical. The enzyme urease (M r 483,000) was among the first proteins crystallized, by James Sumner in 1926. This accomplishment demonstrated dramatically that even very large proteins are discrete chemical entities with unique structures, and it revolutionized thinking about proteins.

Carbohydrates may be present as isolated molecules or they may be physically associated or chemically bound to other molecules. Individual molecules can be classified according to the number of monomers that they contain as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Molecules in which the carbohydrates are covalently attached to proteins are known as glycoproteins, whereas those in which the carbohydrates are covalently attached to lipids are known as glycolipids. Some carbohydrates are digestible by humans and therefore provide an important source of energy, whereas others are indigestible and therefore do not provide energy. Indigestible carbohydrates form part of a group of substances known as dietary fiber, which also includes lignin. Consumption of significant quantities of dietary fiber has been shown to be beneficial to human nutrition, helping reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes and constipation. As well as being an important source of energy and dietary fiber, carbohydrates also contribure to the sweetness, appearence and textural characteristics of many foods. It is important to determine the type and concentration of carbohydrates in foods for a number of reasons."

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

When plasma proteins are separated in the laboratory, they are given the designation of albumin or globulin. The globulins can be separated into three major groups called alpha, beta, or gamma fractions. The gamma globulins contain the antibodies in the plasma. These antibodies, or gamma globulins, are now sometimes referred to as immune globulins or immunoglobulins because they are globulins made by immune cells, specifically B-lymphocytes and their derivative plasma cells. Gamma globulins, or immunoglobulins, are key products of the immune system because they contain the antibodies that protect us from infection. Patients with immune deficiencies such as those with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and some patients with lymphoma, whose B-lymphocytes cannot make gamma globulin, may be given pooled human gamma globulin periodically as a treatment in an effort to correct the deficiency and decrease the risk of infection. This process is imperfect because the gamma globulin pooled from several normal human plasma donors may not always carry enough of the specific antibodies needed by the patient. Gammopathy: Normally the gamma globulins, which are the antibodies, are a mixture of a huge number of different types made by a large and diverse number of B-lymphocytes. In diseases that affect the behavior of B-lymphocytes, the amount of gamma globulin they produce may be increased above normal."

"text": "\"Class Notes ANTIGLOBULIN TESTINGThe antiglobulin test, which is also referred to as the anti-human globulin test (AHG) or the Coombs test, is the cornerstone of detecting clinically significant unexpected antibodies that have coated cells either in vivo or in vitro. For a historical perspective, see \"\" The Discovery of the Anti-Globulin Test \"\" written by A. E. Mourant pages 180 to 183 Vox Sang. 45: 180-83 (1983)Principle of Antiglobulin Test Red cells coated with complement or Ig G antibodies do not agglutinate directly when centrifuged. These cells are said to be sensitized with Ig G or complement. Ig G-coated red blood cells Complement-coated red blood cells In order for agglutination to occur an additional antibody, which reacts with the Fc portion of the Ig G antibody, or with the C3b or C3d component of complement, must be added to the system. This will form a \"\"bridge\"\" between the antibodies or complement coating the red cells, causing agglutination. The light-colored antibody molecule represents the anti-globulin reagent that binds with the Fc portion of the Ig G antibody attached to the red blood cells. The light-colored antibody molecule represents the anti-globulin reagent that binds with the complement attached to the red blood cells. Traditionally rabbits were immunized with human gamma globulin to make this antibody to Ig G or C3d. Types of Antiglobulin Tests The original work done by Coombs and Mourant was detecting those antibodies, especially in the Rh system, that would cause hemolytic disease of the newborn, which we now classify as the Indirect Antiglobulin Test."

Rho GAM is a sterilized solution made from human blood. Rh is a substance that most people have in their blood (Rh positive) but some people don't (Rh negative). A person who is Rh negative can be exposed to Rh positive blood through a mismatched blood transfusion or during pregnancy when the baby has the opposite blood type. When this exposure happens, the Rh negative blood will respond by making antibodies that will try to destroy the Rh positive blood cells. This can cause medical problems such as anemia (low red blood cells), kidney failure, or shock. Rho GAM is used to prevent an immune response to Rh positive blood in people with an Rh negative blood type. This medicine may also be used in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Rho GAM may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Slideshow Multiple Myeloma: Has Crowd Control Ever Been As Important?"

"text": "Abstract Article Cited By Enhanced Article (HTML) Get PDF (758K)Introduction Although there are many different types of antigen–antibody reactions, blood bankers are often concerned with reactions between antigens on red blood cells and antibodies in serum/plasma. These antigen–antibody reactions can occur observably in varying proportions, with regard to volumes and strength of reactants used. They are also reversible and are influenced by many factors. Antigen–antibody reactions are enhanced in the laboratory to make them observable, in an effort to draw practical conclusions and report on clinical conditions with accuracy. Provided that the correct methods are followed, it is usually not difficult to determine blood groups and the nature and specificity of antibodies. Occasionally, however, this is more challenging and it sometimes takes considerable knowledge, skill and experience to accurately assess anomalous test results, determine what should be performed next, carry out further tests appropriately and then correctly interpret the results. This section should not to be confused with Section 4: Principles of laboratory techniques, in which the principles and outlines of methodologies are given. That section draws on the concepts that explain reactions. It should also not to be confused with the causes of false results. False results occur when something goes wrong within the testing environment – either because of human error or the failure of materials or equipment used or some other factor."

Protein electrophoresis is a method for separating the proteins found in blood (serum) or urine. During the test, an electric current is used to move the proteins across a thin layer of agarose gel. The distances that individual proteins travel depend on their size, shape and electrical charge. These separated proteins may be detected by the use of a dye that binds to (stains) all of the proteins and reveals a characteristic pattern of bands."

"text": "Home Info Center General Low globulin facts6Commentsover a year ago Proteins in the Body There are many proteins in the body, some of which make certain tissues and cells while others are distributed in the bloodstream and other body compartments performing their duty. Serum proteins are proteins found in the blood. There are several classes of serum proteins including albumin, alpha-1 globulins, alpha-2 globulins, beta globulins and gamma globulins. Globulins are nothing but antibodies and may also act as enzymes or function as carriers. Protein electrophoresis determines the globulin profile and it is responsible for the separation of proteins on charge and size. Globulins are divided in four groups and there are gamma globulins, beta globulins, alpha-2 globulins and alpha-1 globulins. The immune system is responsible for secretion of one part of these proteins, while the liver is responsible for the other. Immunoglobulins are very important components of the immune system. Low level of such proteins usually suggests a deficiency of antibodies due to the biggest portion of the globulins in gamma fraction. The globulin level ranges from 2.3 to 2.8 g/dl normal."

The anti-D dose is measured by comparison to the Rho GAM (rhod immune globulin human) in-house reference standard, the potency of which is established relative to the US/WHO/EP Standard Anti-D Immunoglobulin Rh o (D) Immune Globulin (Human) CBER Lot 4: NIBSC Lot 01/572 (285 IU/ampoule). All donors are carefully screened by history and laboratory testing to reduce the risk of transmitting blood-borne pathogens from infected donors. Fractionation of the plasma is performed by a modification of the cold alcohol procedure that has been shown to significantly lower viral titers. 4 Following fractionation, an additional viral-clearance filtration step is incorporated into the manufacturing process. This filtration step removes viruses via a size-exclusion mechanism utilizing a patented Viresolve † 180 ultrafiltration membrane with defined pore-size distribution of 12-18 nanometers. The ultrafiltration step utilizes tangential flow filtration to permit filtration of Ig G while effectively retarding enveloped and non-enveloped viruses above the pore-size distribution cutoff."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation is complex. Over the past 50 years, the medical community has witnessed great advances in the care of patients receiving organ transplants. Improved therapeutic strategies have been associated with better patient and graft survival rates; however, the adverse effects associated with these agents and the risks of long-term immunosuppression present a number of challenges for the clinician. With all the successes of immunosuppressive therapies come the obligations to tailor treatments to meet the individual patient's characteristics and to balance the risks and benefits of these medications. The image below depicts the points of action of immunosuppressive drugs. Simplified diagram illustrating the points of action of immunosuppressive drugs. Corticosteroids inhibit production of interleukin-1. Macrolides (ie, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus) inhibit production of or use of interleukin-2, thus inhibiting stimulation of a clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes directed against specific human lymphocyte antigen types. Antimetabolites (ie, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine) inhibit purine production, thus impairing cell proliferation. Antibodies impair normal function of cell surface markers, thus inhibiting stimulation of T-lymphocyte clones directed against foreign antigens."

Just when you think you've factored everything in, a high or low blood glucose level can arrive out of nowhere and really throw your confidence. These things happen to everyone with diabetes. Factoring in food, activity and medication You’ll no doubt be aware that food, activity and the medication you take play a significant role in your blood sugar levels but there can be a number of other variables at work at the same time. What can affect my blood sugar levels? Get an idea of the things that can lead to surprising sugar levels using the list below. Physical activity Exercise or just increasing exertion can lead to altering blood glucose levels: Physical activity can affect insulin sensitivity for up to 48 hours - which can lead to lower blood sugars over this time Sugar levels can initially rise following a short burst of activity. If you usually are active most days, not doing activity could lead to higher blood sugars than usual If you exercise a muscle near where you last injected, it could cause your insulin to be absorbed more quickly Food, drink and illness Food, alcohol, tiredness and stress can all impact blood glucose levels. Many people are surprised to know that protein can affect blood sugar levels, too. Proteins affect sugar levels as well as carbohydrates, but to less of an extent and more slowly than carbs Alcohol can affect sugar levels for up to several hours after stopping drinking Stress and illness can also significantly affect sugar levels Where do you inject?"

Some research suggests the two go hand in hand with as many as 20% of spinal cord injured people having adult-onset diabetes. If you have an SCI, what should you know about diabetes? What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not make enough insulin – a hormone from the pancreas – or, does not use the body’s insulin correctly. As a result, glucose or blood sugar that is normally carried to the body's cells for fuel, instead builds up in the bloodstream. This extra glucose -- called high blood sugar -- can damage all organs of the body, especially the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. There are two types of Diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes starts in childhood or young adulthood, and requires daily insulin injections. This type accounts for just 5% of the cases. Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes — which often is called adult-onset diabetes — usually occurs in adults over 40 and accounts for 95% of all diabetes cases."

Ideally fasting blood sugar is tested shortly after you get up in the morning, 8 to 12 hours after eating or drinking anything other than water. The normal range is from 70 to 99 mg/d L. Levels above 100 mg/d L may indicate impaired glucose metabolism. Various factors can affect fasting blood sugar levels. Food Intake Any foods eaten within 8 hours of the test may cause glucose levels to be elevated. After food is digested, higher levels of glucose remain in the blood for some time. Alcoholic beverages consumed even the night before the test may cause a drop in blood sugar. Medications Medications such as corticosteroids, estrogen -- present in birth control pills, some diuretics, certain antidepressants, anti-seizure medication and even plain aspirin can increase glucose levels. Glucose levels can be decreased by medications that include insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, anabolic steroids and even acetaminophen. Exercise Exercise can cause an increase or a decrease in blood sugar levels."

With type 1, it’s very important to balance your insulin doses with the food you eat and the activity that you do – even if you are just doing house or yard work. Planning ahead and knowing your body’s typical blood glucose response to exercise can help you keep your blood glucose from going too low or too high. Preventing Lows Your blood glucose response to exercise will vary depending on:your blood glucose level before starting activity,the intensity of the activity,the length of time you are active,and changes you’ve made to insulin doses. Sometimes people experience a drop in blood glucose during or after exercise, so it is very important to monitor your blood glucose, take proper precautions, and be prepared to treat hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). To learn how different types of activity affect you, you should frequently check your blood glucose before, during, and after an exercise session. Put a trial and error system into place. For example, increased activity may mean that you need to lower your insulin dose or eat some extra carbohydrates before exercising to keep your blood glucose in a safe range. Some activities may cause your blood glucose to drop quickly while others do not. If your blood glucose levels are trending down before a workout, have a pre-exercise snack."

"text": "Print Overview Type 2 diabetes, once known as adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), your body's important source of fuel. With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. More common in adults, type 2 diabetes increasingly affects children as childhood obesity increases. There's no cure for type 2 diabetes, but you may be able to manage the condition by eating well, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight. If diet and exercise aren't enough to manage your blood sugar well, you also may need diabetes medications or insulin therapy. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly. In fact, you can have type 2 diabetes for years and not know it. Look for: Increased thirst and frequent urination. Excess sugar building up in your bloodstream causes fluid to be pulled from the tissues. This may leave you thirsty."

Type 1People diagnosed with type 1 diabetes usually start with two injections of insulin per day of two different types of insulin and generally progress to three or four injections per day of insulin of different types. The types of insulin used depend on their blood glucose levels. Studies have shown that three or four injections of insulin a day give the best blood glucose control and can prevent or delay the eye, kidney, and nerve damage caused by diabetes.

So when you see an out-of-range glucose value, don’t judge yourself – use it as information to make better decisions. As a patient, I always fall into the trap of thinking I’m at fault for out of range blood sugars. By taking my medication, monitoring my blood glucose, watching what I eat, and exercising, I would like to have perfect in-range values all the time.

In general, you should test as often as you need to get helpful information. There's no point in testing if the information you get doesn't help you manage your diabetes. If you've been told to test at certain times, but you don't know why or what to do with the test results, then testing won't seem very meaningful. Here are some general guidelines for deciding how often to test: If you can only test once a day, then do it before breakfast. Keep a written record so that you can see the pattern of the numbers. If you control your blood sugar by diet and exercise only, this once-a-day test might be enough. If you take medicine (diabetes pills or insulin), you will probably want to know how well that medicine is working. The general rule is to test before meals and keep a record."

Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Medicine Net5,093 Answers 311,554 Helpful Votes 212 Followers A. The sugar in our blood, also known as blood glucose, is used for growth and energy. Blood glucose comes from the foods that we eat, the breakdown of the glucose stored in our muscles (glycogen), and it can also be made from other nutrients in the body. The primary hormones involved in maintaining a healthy blood glucose level are insulin and glucagon. Normally, when your blood sugar begins to drop, your body can respond by making more blood sugar or burning up stored sugar. And when your blood sugar begins to rise, additional insulin is secreted to bring your levels back to a healthy range. Alcohol is considered a poison by your body, and all efforts are made to excrete it, including the cessation of maintaining healthy blood glucose levels. Studies have shown that alcohol interferes with all three sources of glucose and the hormones needed to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. The greatest impact is seen in those who drink heavily on a frequent basis. Heavy drinkers deplete their glycogen stores within a few hours when their diet does not provide a sufficient amount of carbohydrates."

But the pancreas is one of a handful of organs in the body that functions in two distinct modes. It is not only an exocrine digestive organ, but it also functions as part of the endocrine system and, to a significant degree, controls the metabolism of sugar in the body and its use as a source of energy for every single cell and organ in the body. In this newsletter, we examine the endocrine functions of the pancreas. As an endocrine organ, the pancreas produces two sugar-regulating hormones: insulin and glucagon. After reviewing the functions of insulin and glucagon and the four cell types that comprise the endocrine pancreas, we'll examine in detail the main disease associated with the pancreas, diabetes mellitus. The pancreas functions in two modes. As mentioned above, the pancreas functions in two distinctly different modes. It is both an exocrine digestive organ that secretes digestive juices and enzymes into the duct of Wirsung that runs down the middle of the pancreas and empties into the duodenum at the head of the pancreas. But the pancreas is also an endocrine organ, producing insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin that flow directly into the bloodstream, eventually reaching virtually every cell in the body."

Symptoms: if you have ANY symptoms that suggest you could be have celiac disease or could be gluten sensitive, then your next step is to arrange to get your blood tests. It is important you have these blood tests BEFORE you go gluten free (if possible). So if you can, please keep on eating gluten until you have had your blood tests (you definitely need to be eating gluten if you are going to have an endoscopy for celiac disease). Gluten blood tests Currently available blood tests through most medical laboratories (although the choice of test does vary between laboratories): There are 3 main types of tests:1) looking for evidence of gut tissue damage. 2) looking for immunological reaction to gluten/gliadin 3) Gene testing for HLA DQ2/ DQ8.

"text": "\"How Fast Do Villi Heal After Being Destroyed by Gluten? By Melanie Berkowitz Reviewed by Terri Forehand RNSource If you have celiac disease, your doctor has likely told you that adhering to a strict gluten-free diet is the only way to eliminate symptoms, repair damage to your small intestine and prevent further injury. Medical experts agree on the importance of a gluten-free diet, but patients often have questions about the damage already done to the villi of the small intestine and the process the body has for repairing that damage. Villi Damage and Antibodies In someone with celiac disease, eating foods containing gluten causes a reaction in the villi of the small intestine. Villi are tiny, finger-like projections that line the inside of that organ. For a person with celiac disease, eating gluten flattens the villi and makes them unable to absorb nutrients effectively. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, his or her body produces specific antibodies that can be detected through a blood test. A positive antibody blood test is the first step in diagnosing the disease. If a patient has elevated antibody levels, the next step is to do a biopsy of the small intestine to look for villi damage. The amount of damage in a newly diagnosed celiac is difficult to predict, but several research studies report a relationship between factors such as physical symptoms and t TG levels at diagnosis and the severity of villi damage."

His results were startling: 14 children (70%) responded more favourably to the antigen-avoidance diet than to the control diet, whereas only one (5%) in the control diet group had a good response. Of interest, there was no correlation between a positive skin-prick test (SPT) to egg and cow milk antigen and response to the trial diet (see an explanation for this in the next chapter).

Murray, MD, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, 200 1st Street SW, Rochester, Minnesota 55905, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This guideline presents recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune-based reaction to dietary gluten (storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye) that primarily affects the small intestine in those with a genetic predisposition and resolves with exclusion of gluten from the diet. There has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of celiac disease over the last 50 years and an increase in the rate of diagnosis in the last 10 years. Celiac disease can present with many symptoms, including typical gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain) and also non-gastrointestinal abnormalities (e.g., abnormal liver function tests, iron deficiency anemia, bone disease, skin disorders, and many other protean manifestations). Indeed, many individuals with celiac disease may have no symptoms at all. Celiac disease is usually detected by serologic testing of celiac-specific antibodies. The diagnosis is confirmed by duodenal mucosal biopsies. Both serology and biopsy should be performed on a gluten-containing diet. The treatment for celiac disease is primarily a gluten-free diet (GFD), which requires significant patient education, motivation, and follow-up."

Fortunately, few of us will ever have to worry about such extreme reactions to foods, but it may come as a surprise that at least 30% of us will experience one or more episodes of some kind of food sensitivity during our lifetime.

( 1) The inflammation in celiac disease occurs primarily in the mucosa of the small intestine, which leads to villous atrophy. ( 1) Common clinical manifestations related to gastrointestinal inflammation include abdominal pain, malabsorption, diarrhea, and/or constipation. ( 3) Clinical symptoms of celiac disease are not restricted to the gastrointestinal tract. Other common manifestations of celiac disease include failure to grow (delayed puberty and short stature), iron deficiency, recurrent fetal loss, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, recurrent aphthous stomatitis (canker sores), dental enamel hypoplasia, and dermatitis herpetiformis. ( 4) Patients with celiac disease may also present with neuropsychiatric manifestations including ataxia and peripheral neuropathy, and are at increased risk for development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. ( 1,2) The disease is also associated with other clinical disorders including thyroiditis, type I diabetes mellitus, Down syndrome, and Ig A deficiency. ( 1,3)Celiac disease tends to occur in families; individuals with family members who have celiac disease are at increased risk of developing the disease. Genetic susceptibility is related to specific HLA markers. More than 97% of individuals with celiac disease in the United States have DQ2 and/or DQ8 HLA markers, compared to approximately 40% of the general population. ("

S., University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas Am Fam Physician. 2002 Dec 15;66 (12):2259-2266. Patient Information Handout Gluten-sensitive enteropathy or, as it is more commonly called, celiac disease, is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the small intestine that is precipitated by the ingestion of gluten, a component of wheat protein, in genetically susceptible persons. Exclusion of dietary gluten results in healing of the mucosa, resolution of the malabsorptive state, and reversal of most, if not all, effects of celiac disease. Recent studies in the United States suggest that the prevalence of celiac disease is approximately one case per 250 persons. Gluten-sensitive enteropathy commonly manifests as “silent” celiac disease (i.e., minimal or no symptoms). Serologic tests for antibodies against endomysium, transglutaminase, and gliadin identify most patients with the disease. Serologic testing should be considered in patients who are at increased genetic risk for gluten-sensitive enteropathy (i.e., family history of celiac disease or personal history of type I diabetes) and in patients who have chronic diarrhea, unexplained anemia, chronic fatigue, or unexplained weight loss. Early diagnosis and management are important to forestall serious consequences of malabsorption, such as osteoporosis and anemia."

The problematic symptoms of gluten sensitivity are the result of the innate immune response -- which is the body's basic, generic defense to what it sees as harmful. Unlike celiac disease, it does not cause long-term damage to the intestinal tract and doesn't produce a long-term autoimmune reaction -- an adaptive immune response that creates a specific reaction.

To Tiffany’s surprise, her daughter wasn’t the only one to benefit from eliminating wheat and other gluten grains from her diet. At Tiffany’s follow-up visit with her rheumatologist, the doctor was impressed by the marked reduction in her C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels, two inflammatory markers indicating disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common autoimmune condition. Tiffany now feels better than she has in years and is excited to wake up pain free every day since changing her way of eating. Autoimmune conditions such as RA tend to run in families, and many of these conditions seem to start in the gut. A Peril on the Rise To date, at least 80 different autoimmune diseases have been identified, and an additional 40 illnesses are suspected to have an autoimmune component, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), a nonprofit health agency increasing the awareness of autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune conditions are chronic and can affect every organ in the body, crossing almost all medical specialties, including gastroenterology, cardiology, neurology, rheumatology, gynecology, dermatology, and endocrinology.

Gluten is a protein made up of the peptides gliadin and glutenin and it is found in many grains such as wheat, semolina, spelt, kamut, rye and barley. Gluten (from Latin, “glue”) is a protein that gives bread its airy and fluffy texture and dough its sticky texture. It’s also used as a stabilizing agent in many processed foods, such as salad dressings and mayonnaise. It’s in almost everything from beauty products to packaged foods to medications and supplements. Why is gluten getting such a bad rap now? The prevalence of celiac and gluten intolerance has increased significantly over the last 50 years. A 2009 study published in Gastroenterology showed that celiac disease has increased from one in 650 people to one in 120 people over the last 50 years. We’re no longer eating the wheat that our parents ate."

It is my firm conviction that diet – both what it may be deficient in as well as its potential toxicity – can cause what we label as mental illness. In medical school, we learn about the mental repercussions of nutrient deficiencies such as Beriberi (thiamin), Pellagra (niacin), and B12-deficiency induced dementia. We know that minerals such as magnesium and zinc are critical cofactors for basic functions, and that fatty acids are essential in the support of cell membrane health. I believe in a partnership with my patients; however, my most paternalistic mandate, as a psychiatrist, is that of a gluten and casein free dietary trial. What’s that? they often ask. Gluten, from the Latin, “glue” is a composite of proteins comprised of gliadin and glutenin, found in wheat, with similar ‘glutinous’ proteins known as prolamines found in related grains such as rye (secalin), corn (zein), and barley (horedin), and casein is the name for a family of proteins in mammalian milk.

Emails from folks with allergic or digestive issues to wheat in the United States experienced no symptoms whatsoever when they tried eating pasta on vacation in Italy. Confused parents wondering why wheat consumption sometimes triggered autoimmune reactions in their children but not at other times. In my own home, I’ve long pondered why my husband can eat the wheat I prepare at home, but he experiences negative digestive effects eating even a single roll in a restaurant. There is clearly something going on with wheat that is not well known by the general public. It goes far and beyond organic versus nonorganic, gluten or hybridization because even conventional wheat triggers no symptoms for some who eat wheat in other parts of the world. What indeed is going on with wheat? For quite some time, I secretly harbored the notion that wheat in the United States must, in fact, be genetically modified. GMO wheat secretly invading the North American food supply seemed the only thing that made sense and could account for the varied experiences I was hearing about. I reasoned that it couldn’t be the gluten or wheat hybridization."

The soil, its fertility, and the organisms which maintain the fertility of soil are a vital aspect of the environment, especially in the context of food and agricultural production. A recent scientific study carried out by Navdanya, compared the soil of fields where Bt-cotton had been planted for 3 years with adjoining fields with non GMO cotton or other crops. The region covered included Nagpur, Amravati and Wardha of Vidharbha which accounts for highest GMO cotton planting in India, and the highest rate of farmers suicides (4000 per year). In 3 years, Bt-cotton has reduced the population of Actinomycetes by 17%. Actinomycetes are vital for breaking down cellulose and creating humus. Bacteria were reduced by 14%. The total microbial biomass was reduced by 8.9%. Vital soil beneficial enzymes which make nutrients available to plants have also been drastically reduced.

When I first starting writing about the research and benefits of coconut oil at the turn of the century in 2000, I was swimming upstream against a strong current of bias against saturated fats in general, and coconut oil in specific. At the time, I was living with my wife and children in a rural community of the Philippines, amazed at the health of my wife’s parents’ generation, most of whom were still farming and working the land well into their 70s and 80s. This generation, unlike many of the younger people of our community, still ate a traditional diet. That diet was very high in saturated fat and home-made coconut oil made from fresh coconuts. That’s when I began to study the research that was supposedly against saturated fats, and the research looking at the medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil, which is over 90% saturated. The generally healthy and active older generation I was seeing first hand in the rural areas of the Philippines eating high amounts of unrefined coconut oil tipped me off to the fact that something was wrong with standard western nutrition advice. As it turns out, there was (and obviously still is) a wide body of research showing just how beneficial the fatty acids found in coconut oil are."

"text": "\"Apr. 09, 2013PROBIOTIC POWER: The Path To a Happy Belly is Paved with Good Bacteriaby Dr. Frank Lipman Probiotics are the naturally occurring “good” bacteria that live in your gut and play a significant role in your total wellness. When you’re healthy, your intestinal tract hosts over 100 trillion friendly bacteria (that’s 10 times more than the number of cells in your body), which spend their days aiding digestion, boosting the immune system and consuming bad bacteria. They manufacture key nutrients and limit the growth of yeast and unhealthy bacteria – and in their spare time, probiotics help inhibit bouts of lactose intolerance, poor digestion and diarrhea. When your “good” bacteria levels are optimal, they outnumber the bad guys by roughly 5 to 1, but take a few gastro-intestinal wrong-turns and the bad bacteria can quickly over-whelm the good, triggering a host of gut problems. So how to keep your gut functioning at its best? Get to know the probiotic basics to help your belly – and its 100 trillion good bacteria – flourish: An Unbalanced Belly is a Sick One It is said that about 70% of our immune system is housed in our gut, so keeping it in good working order is job #1. In a healthy gut, parasites and yeast may be present in small numbers but don’t cause any problems. However, when enough of the good guys (beneficial bacteria) are killed (e.g. ,-with antibiotics), the bad guys (parasites, yeast and bad bacteria) gain the upper hand, causing an imbalance that can manifest itself in a variety of unpleasant ways, including: Numerous digestive problems (e.g. constipation, colitis, IBS)Skin problems (e.g. eczema)Joint problems (e.g. arthritis)Altered behavior patterns and brain function Know the Enemy Without enough good bacteria keeping things in check, your gut will act and feel like a bacterial battleground, with the bad guys running rampant and stirring up debilitating gut troubles like the ones mentioned above. And while aging does contribute to declining levels of good bacteria, there are a number of other factors that can wipe out the good guys (no matter your age) and create the perfect environment for the bad bacteria to flourish."

Monsanto has long argued that glyphosate is perfectly safe for humans. That’s because glyphosate works by disrupting the shikimate pathway in a plant’s metabolism. Human metabolism does not have the shikamate pathway, so we are safe. But are we? Did you know that you are mostly made up of microbial life? That the bacteria and microbes that live within your gut outnumber your own cells 10 to 1? Did you also know that these microbes which sustain you do have the shikimate pathway? In her paper, Dr. Seneff argues that glyphosate interrupts your gut bacteria’s metabolic pathways the same way it does a plant’s. Furthermore, it adversely affects our gut’s population of beneficial bacteria more dramatically than it does our gut’s population of pathogens."

"text": "As anyone who follows food and agriculture issues knows, much of the public discourse — particularly around genetically modified organisms (GMOs) — is highly polarized. The debates are often as personal and bitter as the extremes that characterize today’s partisan politics. For both personal and professional reasons, I’m among those saddened by the intensity of the conflict. Not only did I grow up on a family farm in Illinois, but 30 years ago I helped develop GMO crops. Yet far more important than my, or anybody’s, individual reaction is this: The debate over GMOs has tended to sidetrack progress on the development of a common agenda to solving the global food security problem. And that’s unacceptable, because 1) we don’t have time to waste, and 2) it actually isn’t difficult to figure out where that common ground lies. In fact, I think Jonathan Foley, the recent director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, essentially nailed it in the May 2014 edition of National Geographic. So, with due credit to Dr. Foley, and with the addition of a few ideas of my own, I want to use this space to stake out some ideas. Let me start with a little basic background on the global food security problem: The world’s population, which has been climbing rapidly for more than a century, is expected to increase by about 2 billion more by 2050, to between 9 and 10 billion — an increase of about 30 percent. But because global prosperity also will increase over the next few decades, many people will have the opportunity to improve their diets, and global food demand actually will increase much more quickly — by 70 percent, according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to 100 percent, according to others."

That overwhelming consensus exceeds the percentage of scientists, 87%, who believe global warming is the result of human activity. However, the public appears far more suspicious of scientific claims about GMO safety than they do about the consensus on climate change. Some 57 percent of Americans say GM foods are unsafe and a startling 67% do not trust scientists, believing they don't understand the science behind GMOs. Scientists blame poor reporting by mainstream scientists for the trust and literacy gaps. The survey also contrasts sharply with a statement published earlier this week in a marginal pay-for-play European journal by a group of anti-GMO scientists and activists, including Michael Hansen of the Center for Food Safety, and philosopher Vandana Shiva, claiming, \"\"no scientific consensus on GMO safety. \"\" A huge literacy gap between scientists and the public on biotechnology is one of the many disturbing nuggets that emerged from the Pew Research Center survey, which was conducted in cooperation with the AAAS, the world's largest independent general scientific society.

However, over the last two decades independent scientists have brought forth challenges to the prevailing dogma on this important issue. The response of the GMO industry to any critic–irrespective of their credentials or the scientific evidence they provide–is that they are wrong. To determine where the truth lies, we have set about reviewing all available scientific literature on the safety and efficacy of GMOs. The results of our independent investigation are stated in the following 44 reasons to ban or label GMOs. All of the information is footnoted and fully referenced. Because 91% of Americans want GMO labeling. [ 1]Because 64 countries around the world including Japan, Australia, China and the entire European Union require GMO labeling.

Ascorbic Acid Defined Advertisement Synthetic vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is not found in nature. It does not grow naturally in plants or trees and cannot be grown on a farm. It can only be made in a lab. Contrary to popular belief, ascorbic acid and vitamin C are not the same thing. Ascorbic acid is not a complete vitamin, but really only the outer layer of the complete complex known as vitamin C. The complete complex of vitamin C as found in natural food sources is composed of these elements: Rutinbiofavonoids (vitamin P) factor KFactor Jfactor P Tyrosinase Ascorbinogen ascorbic acid All of the above elements must be present in order for the body to absorb and benefit from the vitamin complex.

In other words, golden rice is produced through genetic engineering. Beta-carotene gives golden rice its “golden” or “yellow” coloring. White rice, on the other hand, does not contain carotenoids (i.e. beta carotene) and therefore lacks that “golden” coloring. When you consume golden rice, the beta-carotene either accumulates in your fatty tissues or is transformed into vitamin A. Carotenoids, like beta-carotene, are the colorful plant pigments normally found in a variety of fruits and vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, etc.). It is important to note that plants lack the direct form of vitamin A, but do contain beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A. Moreover, your body metabolizes vitamin A when you consume foods rich in beta-carotene. Vibrant fruits and vegetables, along with meats contain vitamin A. If you adhere to a poor diet, you have an increased risk of life-threatening medical conditions and diseases associated with a vitamin A deficiency. Golden rice is rich in beta-carotene. It is also easily processed by your digestive system."

Mc Maken OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNOLOGYGenetically modified organisms (GMOs), organisms in which genes from another organism are inserted into the targeted organism’s DNA, have the potential to both positively and negatively affect the environment and human health. Plants can be genetically modified easily because they can be grown from a single cell or small pieces of tissue. Thus, one only needs to modify a single cell to produce an entire genetically modified organism (“Genetically-modified Q & A”). Several methods have been used to insert foreign genes into the target organism. In one method, the target organism takes up a vector with cloned DNA from a donor organism and incorporates this foreign DNA into its genome. Another method involves removing the wall of the target cell, allowing the introduced DNA to easily penetrate. A third method requires using a special gun to inject foreign DNA into the target cell in hopes that the cell will incorporate the new DNA into its genome (“Genetically-modified Q & A”). Crops have been modified for centuries by humans using selective breeding techniques, but GMO biotechnology is a more specific and rapid selection process. For instance, genes from a different species can be incorporated into the modified crop. Therefore, GMO technology creates concern over potential environmental and human health impacts (Whitehouse, David)."

Nye is an emblematic science educator, who has done a lot to kindle the interest of young people in science, to defend the validity of evolutionary science, and raise awareness about climate change. Until recently, he spoke and wrote about GMOs as environmentally risky technology. In a video shot backstage after an appearance in March on Bill Maher’s “Real Time,” Nye told an interviewer that he was revising the chapter about GMOs in his latest book. “ I went to Monsanto, and I spent a lot of time with the scientists there, and I have revised my outlook, and I’m very excited about telling the world,” he said. So what did Nye learn at Monsanto headquarters that changed his mind? In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Nye said that he does not believe genetically engineered crops are inherently bad. To the contrary, he said he now believes that they have been beneficial to agriculture. To illustrate his point, he explained that GMO crops “put the herbicides and pesticide inside the plant, rather than spraying it on them and having it run down into streams. ”In the case of herbicides, Nye is simply incorrect, and it’s an important error to point out."

Confused about the nutritional value of corn and whether or not it’s bad for you? Well then, you’re not alone …Although unprocessed, organic, non-GMO corn itself isn’t necessarily bad for you — considering it’s been eaten for thousands of years and actually has some health benefits — the kind of corn widely consumed today is another story. The types of corn so commonly included in both children’s and adults’ diets today are the overly modified kinds — found in fried corn tortilla chips, buttery popcorn, high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, corn flour and other packaged food products. The Pros and Cons of Eating Corn Corn (scientific name Zea mays), called maize in Spanish, has been a staple ingredient in South, Central and North America for thousands of years. First domesticated over 8,000 years ago, corn has been a traditional food for Native Americans and is now included in the diets of people living around the world — including many populations in India, Mexico, Italy and nearly every nation in Central America. Real, traditional corn is grown throughout the warm summer months on stalks of “ears” that come in far more colors than the standard bright yellow; corn can be found in different varieties, including red, pink, black, purple, multicolored and blue. Although it’s most popular as the staple ingredient used to make tortillas, tacos or burritos, corn is also used around the world to make polenta, flour, fritters, soups and sauces."

It is also widely referred to as the Sichuan snub-nosed monkey. [ 4] [5] [6] Of the three species of snub-nosed monkeys in China, the golden snub-nosed monkey is the most widely distributed throughout China. [ 4]Snow occurs frequently within its range and it can withstand colder average temperatures than any other non-human primates. [ 7] Its diet varies markedly with the seasons, but it is primarily an herbivore with lichens being its main food source. It is diurnal and largely arboreal, spending some 97% of its time in the canopy."

"text": "List of Animals in the Central Park Zoo In the heart of Central Park sits the Central Park Zoo, which houses over 150 different species of animals in exhibits and natural-looking habitats. Visitors to the zoo tour a central garden and snow leopard exhibit, then spend time at the Polar Circle, Temperate Territory and the interactive Tropic Zone Rainforest exhibit, while a children’s zoo lets the youngest guests get close to gentle farm animals. Mammals Mammals are the biggest attraction at the Central Park Zoo, which has several large exhibits focusing on these critters. The zoo’s two polar bears, Gus and Ida, have been Central Park residents since 1988. Other large mammals at the zoo include snow leopards and California sea lions. The primate collection includes tamarins, lemurs and snow monkeys. The Tamandua, a large anteater, the red panda, mouse deer, a sloth, rock cavies, harbor seals, fruit bats, banded mongoose and a collection of farm animals at the children’s zoo round out the list of mammals. Birds The colorful plumage of birds surrounds you on a visit to the Central Park Zoo. Many find the antics of the Gentoo penguins to be charming, and peacocks and puffins also have habitats at the zoo. Various waterways throughout the park have waterfowl like the swan goose, bufflehead ducks and the African pygmy goose."

Rhinopithecus roxellana in the panda reserve. Image credit: Jack Hynes cc2.0The golden snub-nosed monkey, also known as the snub-nosed leaf monkey, the orange monkey and the Sichuan golden-haired monkey, is a small monkey that can only be found in the mountains of central and southwest China, including the mountains of Tibet. It ranges from 20 to 26 inches long and can live for over 20 years. Below are some interesting facts about the golden snub-nosed monkey. Welcome to the Old World A member of the world monkeys, an Olive baboon (Papio anubis) in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. Image credit: Muhammad Mahdi Karim GFDL v1.2The golden snub-nosed monkey is an Old World monkey. What does this mean? This means that like other Old World monkeys, the golden snub-nosed monkey has nostrils that are close together like ours, hands like ours with fingernails and thick pads of skin around their tails that serve as a cushion when they are sitting. They also have long tails but their tails are not prehensile like those of New World monkeys, meaning they cannot use their tails to grasp objects or hang from tree branches."

"text": "Baboonby Monkey Worlds Baboon – Genus Papio Description Sharing 91% DNA similarities with humans is the Baboon. This particular Monkey is often argued to be an Ape instead. However, science has placed them into the area of being a Monkey based on a variety of contributing factors. There are 5 species of the Baboon and they are all part of the Old World Monkeys. Of the Old World Monkeys, these are the larges of all primates in the world with the exception of human beings. They can weigh up to 90 pounds with the smaller ones being about 30 pounds. The males tend to have at least 10 pounds on the females so it is very easy to tell the difference between the males and the females when you are looking at them. Anatomy The Baboon certainly does have many characteristics that are different from other Monkeys. For example almost all Monkey species have a very flat nose. This one though features a very long and large nose."

The snub-nosed monkeys of the genus Rhinopithecus were formerly listed as a subgenus of Pygathrix but Groves (2001 following Wang et al. 1998) elevated Rhinopithecus to full genus level. The species name \"\"roxellana\"\" refers to, and is named after, the purportedly snub-nosed concubine and wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, a 16th century Sultan of the Ottoman Empire (Groves 1970). MORPHOLOGYPhoto: Yan Kanghui The golden monkey's ( Rhinopithecus roxellana) body and limbs are yellowish-red ranging from somewhat more brown to more brightly orange-red (Groves 2001). The back and dorsal surfaces have some black or dark brown, which extends down the extremities as a stripe and more solidly down the tail (Brandon-Jones 1985; Groves 2001). The back of the thighs is white and ventral surfaces of the body are yellowish-white or white-orange (Groves 1970; Brandon-Jones 1985, Groves 2001). Pelage is dark on the crown and upper back (Brandon-Jones 1985, Groves 2001). Males are brighter in color than other age and sex classes and as their age increases, the amount of orange in the coat increases (Brandon-Jones 1985). The muzzle is white and hairless and the area around the eyes is pale blue (Brandon-Jones 1985; Groves 2001)."

Although typical colobine monkeys are largely arboreal quadrupeds and live in the canopies of moist tropical forests, there are a number of exceptions. The genus Rhinopithecus is unusual among colobines in having forelimbs almost as long as their hind limbs and ischial callosities separated in males and females. Found in the highly seasonal deciduous coniferous mixed forests in Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, where the monkeys experience severe winters with snow cover for 4 months and lowest average temperature of any non-human primate in the world. Snow occurs frequently within its range and it can withstand colder average temperatures than any other non-human primates."

While we trust the information for the reasons stated previously, his source was validated on Monday when Melkor leaked a silhouette of the new purple cat Pokemon before the TV Tokyo advertisement in which it was shown appeared. For the past week or so, Melkor has posted his own descriptions of several new Pokemon based on low-resolution images he has received and has also commissioned one of his website’s artists to draw fan art of the Pokemon (the fan art is a partial extrapolation of the Pokemon sprites and not completely accurate). All of his information and fan art images have been scattered across the Internet, but I have spent the last several hours talking to him and compiling it all into a list along with previously revealed information.

The most obvious difference between monkeys and apes is that apes do not have tails. A few isolated monkey species do not have tails either, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The great apes, which are the human being, the orangutan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo, are much larger than monkeys and much more highly evolved. The gibbon, which has many aspects of both monkeys and apes, is truly its own separate creature, although it is often lumped in with either apes or monkeys by virtue of many different arguments, both scientific and not so scientific. We have separated the gibbons and offer their own article. We have also separated the baboon into it's own page because it is so well known, but the baboon is in fact an Old World monkey with the customary large size and non-prehensile tail.. Monkeys are highly intelligent and active primates that are broken into two groups known as Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. The Old World monkeys (including baboons) inhabit Africa and Asia, and are more closely related to apes. They are generally larger than New World monkeys, have more elongated faces, and have a tail that is not \"\"prehensile\"\". New world monkeys are five families of primates that inhabit Central America, South America and some parts of Mexico."

They are derived from early primates that have been around for millions of years. There isn’t enough information about evolution to say with certainty how they came to be. These primates range in size from only about 4 ounces to those that weigh up to 77 pounds. It isn’t fully understood what all has occurred with evolution to allow these Monkeys to branch off in so many directions. There is plenty of information though to indicate they have been around for more than 50 million years in so degree. The Monkey is a highly adaptable creature so they do well in a variety of environments. They are able to live in the trees or on ground depending on the specific species. They are also able to consume a wide variety of different foods. For most species fruits make up the majority of their diet."

The major difference, besides living on different continents, is that the New World primates have tails that can grasp and hold things while the Old World primates can't do much with their tails and sometimes have no tail at all. New World primates do not have versatile opposable thumbs like many other primates and most Old World primates do.

"text": "\"The proboscis, or long-nosed, monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a large tree-dwelling primate native to Southeast Asia. Known for their large distinctive-looking noses, proboscis monkeys are among the most easily-identifiable of Borneo's primate species. Habitat loss and hunting have led to a decline in the population of proboscis monkeys, and they are considered to be endangered. Physical Appearance Proboscis monkeys are named after the bulbous and fleshy nose sported by the male of the species, which makes them easily identifiable. Though females have large noses compared to many other species of monkeys, males' noses are enlarged further and can sometimes exceed nearly 4 inches in length. This impressive schnoz allows males to increase the power of their vocalizations, providing extra resonance. Proboscis monkeys have other distinguishing features outside of their noses. These medium to large primates can range in color from bright orange to yellow or pink. Baby proboscis monkeys are born with blue faces, which gradually shift to the cream color of adults. Geography and Range In the wild, proboscis monkeys are found only on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo, which is divided between the three nations of Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei."

All sixteen saki species within the genus Pithecia are able to subsist in a variety of forest environments, including disturbed habitat and fragments of secondary forest]. This adaptability may explain the monkeys’ wide geographic distribution. The sakis’ preference, however, and home to larger populations, is mature forest that includes variations of white-water and black-water flooded forests and palm swamps. Size, Weight, and Lifespan Considered a medium-sized monkey, sakis are approximately 12 to 20 inches (30 to 50 cm) in length, excluding their tail which measures another 10 to 22 inches (25 to 55 cm). Size difference between males and females varies slightly among the sixteen species; however, female sakis are typically smaller than their male counterparts. Female sakis weigh less than 4.4 pounds (2 kg); male sakis weigh a slight bit more. Sakis live up to 30 years in the wild. Male white-faced saki (Pithecia pithecia)What Does It Mean? New World monkeys: New World monkeys are native to Central and South America, whereas Old World monkeys are native to Africa and Asia.

"text": "\"What Are the Health Benefits of Gooseberries?by SARA IPATENCO Oct. 03, 2017Though gooseberries look similar to grapes, they are actually berries filled with tiny seeds. The fruit -- which can be green, white or red -- provides many nutrients. Gooseberries have been consumed for centuries right off the vine or made into pies, jam or other desserts. Adding gooseberries to your diet can be a challenge because they are not readily available in many supermarkets, but finding ways to incorporate them into your diet can have many health benefits. The U. S. Department of Agriculture says that 1 cup of fresh berries such as gooseberries counts as a serving of fruit, and that healthy adult men and women need at least 2 cups of fruit every day. Each cup of gooseberries contains only 66 calories. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Vitamin CLike most fruit, gooseberries are a good source of vitamin C. One cup of fresh gooseberries contains 41.5mg of vitamin C. For an adult man, that's 46 percent of his recommended daily intake of vitamin C; for adult women, a cup of gooseberries fulfills 55 percent of her required intake of the nutrient. Vitamin C is necessary for your body to absorb iron and to aid in the formation of collagen. You need plenty of vitamin C to help you maintain healthy bones, muscles, cartilage and blood vessels. A diet that includes adequate amounts of vitamin C may also help ward off infection and prevent illnesses like the common cold."

What is Pickling Process? Pickling is one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Before the invention of modern refrigeration, pickling was the only way to preserve various foods for future consumption. Generally, pickling began as a method to preserve foods that are either exotic or seasonal and limited by nature and cultivation. The process of pickling can be generally traced back to India, as it is believed to have originated about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. With hot summers and a lack of water during summers, food production decreased during the summer. Thus, there was a need to preserve excess food produced during winters and hence, the process of pickling was invented to overcome this problem. The traditional way of preparing long-lasting pickles in the oriental style uses ingredients such as salt, oil, and dry chili powder mixed with condiments. These ingredients are added according to set proportions."

"text": "Gooseberry pie is a pie that is comprised of a traditional pie crust and a fruit filling of gooseberries mixed with sugar. Gooseberries are native to Europe, northwestern Africa and southwestern Asia. They usually are hairy and green, although they occasionally can be found in smooth and red or purple varieties as well. Gooseberries are most often described as tasting like very sour grapes, which is why sugar is considered to be a crucial ingredient for a gooseberry pie. It is not clear how gooseberries first received their name, although many people believe that the name originated from the German word krausbeere or the French word groseille, both of which are used as loose names for the berry. There is some evidence that the berry’s name derives from the fact that the plant was once commonly grown on the same grounds that geese lived on. Gooseberries thrive best in coastal and lakeside environments but also can be found in drier plains environments. The plants flourish as far north as Scotland and Norway, and many people believe that the berry’s flavor becomes sweeter with increasing latitude. Ad Recipes for gooseberry pie have been carried down from generation to generation and commonly vary in specifics, but the majority of recipes contain the same basic ingredients. The pie filling typically is made with egg, flour, sugar and gooseberries."

"text": "\"Amla in Honey Recipe Benefits - How to Preserve Amla (Indian Gooseberry) in Honey Though we always get amlas/ Indian gooseberry year round, I have always preferred eating the smaller variety of gooseberries called\"\" Sirunellikai\"\" in Tamil. I used to love eating sirunellikai after dipping it in red chilli powder and salt mixture. When I was younger, most of my time were spent under the sirunellikai tree in my parents house. Though sirunellikai is also in rich in vitamin c, the bigger variety of gooseberries called \"\"Amla\"\" is clearly the winner, when it comes to health benefits. Last week, I was reading a medical journal in which a person had described his experience with anemia. Due to some illness, his red blood count had gone dangerously low. After struggling for some time to improve it, he was advised to take amlas that are soaked in honey, by an ayurvedic practitioner. He had reported that his anemic level raised remarkably after consuming them daily. Vitamin c in the amlas, help in iron absorption and honey is wonderful in raising the blood count. Though I don't like fresh amlas, I love this amlas soaked in honey."

"text": "Plant of the Month (February) : Golden Currant - Ribes aureum Two-year old Golden Currant ( Ribes aureum var. gracillimumin Mother Nature's Backyard garden Every garden needs a bit color this time of year. The locally native currant and gooseberry bushes (genus Ribes) are among the most reliable early bloomers in local gardens. Our Golden Currant has bloomed now for several weeks and should provide a welcome spot of ‘gold’ for a few more weeks (see above). The genus Ribes is a member of the Currant family, the Grossulariaceae. Some taxonomists have placed Ribes in the Saxifrage family, although its members differ significantly from Saxifragaceae. Grossulariaceae is notable for woody deciduous shrubs that produce edible berries; the Saxifrages are herbaceous with dry fruits. The current consensus is that Currants and Saxifrages are sister species; and that the Currant family contains a single genus ( Ribes), although some taxonomists place the gooseberries into a separate genus: Grossularia. We’ll have to see how that debate plays out. The majority of Ribes species are native to the Northern Hemisphere (primarily North America and Asia, but also Europe); species from the Southern Hemisphere are limited to mountainous regions."

It didn't seem to be bothering the puppy. He was eating and drinking and doing all the things little puppies do at about 5 weeks old. The next morning, the bump on his throat had enlarged significantly. The puppy was in somewhat of a distressed condition , lethargy had set in and his breathing was slightly labored. We immediately got into the car and rushed this little guy to our Vet, which is about an hour away. I drove while Dan held and comforted the puppy. We were afraid he would die before we got to the Vet. I made the hour drive in 35 minutes. It was a Saturday and our vet, Dr. Moody, met us at his hospital."

"text": "Featured Breed English Setter Country of Origin The English Setter, also known as the ‘Laverack Setter’, originated in England as early as the 1300’s. ‘ Setting’ is the practice of freezing in a low crouch to point out game. The English Setter is the oldest of the Setter breeds, descending from the Water Spaniel, Spanish Pointer, and Springer Spaniel. The modern version of the breed was developed in the 1800’s by Edward Laverack, who developed the initial stock, and R. Purcell Llewellin, who selected from this stock for field abilities, creating a distinct breed which is often associated with working English Setters. The English Setter soared in popularity in England in the 1860’s, and became popular in America shortly thereafter, remaining highly popular today as a sporting breed. There are many unofficial localized strains of English setter, such as the ‘Llewellin Setter’ and ‘Newfoundland Setter’. Size The English Setter has a shoulder height of 24-27 in (61-68 cm) and weighs 45-80 lbs (20-36 kg). It has a long, square muzzle, pronounced stop (depression where the muzzle meets the forehead), large eyes, and low-set ears. The English Setter has a straight tail, carried flat and tapering to a point. Coat The English Setter has a long, flat coat with light, silky feathering."

"text": "Home > Articles > News > Causes of Death Causes of Death Study examined most common causes of mortality in dogs – by breed, age, and size. News item by Mary Straus, published in the Whole Dog Journal, June 2011A new 20-year retrospective study from the University of Georgia examined causes of death in dogs between 1984 and 2004. Researchers looked at records of 74,566 dogs from the Veterinary Medical Database, which includes data from 27 veterinary teaching hospitals. These results may be biased toward more severe, complicated, or unusual causes than the general dog population, but are fascinating nonetheless. The study grouped deaths by organ system and by disease category (“pathophysiological process”), and analyzed results based on age, breed, and average breed size. Eighty-two breeds with at least 100 representatives were included in breed-based analyses; mixed-breed dogs were considered as one group. Only conditions that led to death were considered, and if a dog had multiple conditions, only one was deemed the cause of death. Disease categories The study found that cancer was by far the most common cause of death in the disease category for adult dogs; cancer was the leading cause of death in all but 11 breeds! Almost a third of adult dogs of all adult dogs were found to have died of cancer. Cancer was designated the cause of death almost three times as often as the next most common category of deaths (trauma)."

Share 206 +1 2 Pin208I know it’s kind of a morbid thing to think about, but honestly before you decide on a dog breed it’s probably a good idea to investigate the average life expectancy of the breed. Just today I was talking to one of my friends about dogs and how long they usually live. I mentioned that usually smaller dog breeds live longer then larger dog breeds. While this is not always the case it seems to be a general rule of thumb. From what I understand the larger body has to work harder and is stressed more than a smaller body. I decided to do a little online research to find out average life expectancies of different dog breeds.

Within a week, she had a puppy. Since that day, she has had many more, and she cannot now imagine life without them. On the other hand, Naia Libeu has never had to imagine life without the Welsh's cousin, the English Springer Spaniel.

"text": "\"Purebred Llewellins vs \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" Setters One cannot merely glance at an English Setter (ES) and say definitively that the dog is indeed a “Llewellin” as you can with most other purebred dog breeds. To be a purebred Llewellin, there must be DNA proof, or \"\"Verified Identifiable Parentage\"\" (VIP) of Llewellin lineage showing direct ancestry to Mr. Purcell Llewellin's line of dogs (Duke-Rhoebe-Laverack) with no out-crossings (pairings with anything other than another Llewellin). Proof of Llewellin ancestry is accomplished only through DNA testing of the dog's cheek cells and is done by The American Field (FDSB registry) in conjunction with the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab. To help clear some confusion about pure Llewellins versus \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" setters, check out the illustration on the right. Pure Llewellins must have VIP DNA. They have relatively the same conformation as their field-type English Setter cousins having rounder muzzle, shorter ears, shorter coat with thinner feathers, and narrow spoon shaped feet as compared to bench-type setters, but are smaller in stature. When on point, they should hold their tail out straight from the body at a 10:00 position or higher. ES Field Setters are often referred to as \"\"Llewellin-type\"\", this is because the Llewellin has always been known as a field setter due to their involvement in the upland hunting sport and ES field Setters are also bred for the field (unlike bench setters) and have the same overall conformation but are significantly larger than the Llewellin in stature. Sometimes you'll hear breeders claim that they have \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" English Setters, but more accurately what that really means is they have \"\"field-type\"\" English Setters bred for hunting, which are not actually true Llewellins at all! Just because a dog is a field-type English Setter and is referred to as \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" does not mean that the dog is a purebred Llewellin, the proof is in the DNA!. ES Bench Setters are bred for the show ring rather than the field and have completely different conformation than their field-type cousins."

It usually occurs between the ages of three weeks and four months, and is rarely seen in adult dogs. The face, pinnae (outer part of the ear), and salivary lymph nodes are the most common sites to be affected. The cause of this condition is unknown, but there are breeds that have been shown to be predisposed to it, including golden retrievers, dachshunds, and Gordon setters. Symptoms and Types Acutely (sudden and severe) swollen face – especially the eyelids, lips, and muzzle Salivary gland lymphadenopathy: a disease process affecting a lymph node or multiple lymph nodes Marked pustular and oozing skin disease, which frequently fistulates (develops into a hollow passage); develops within 24–48 hours Pustular ear infection Lesions often become crusted Affected skin is usually tender Lethargy in 50 percent of cases Loss of appetite, fever, and presence of sterile suppurative arthritis in 25 percent of cases ( acute inflammation of membranes, with leaking into a joint, due to bacterial infection)Sterile pustular nodes (rare) over the trunk, reproductive organs, or on the area around the anus; lesions may appear as fluctuating nodules under the skin with fistulation Causes Cause and pathogenesis (origination) is unknown ( idiopathic)Immune dysfunction with an inheritable cause is suspected Diagnosis Your veterinarian will conduct a skin biopsy (tissue sample) to determine what is causing the lesions.1 2 Next View Full Article Related Articles Hair Loss in Dogs Hair loss (alopecia) is a common disorder in dogs which causes the animal to have partial or complete hair loss.

Numerous distinct breeds of Canis lupus familiaris exist today, owing to dogs’ remarkable adaptability and genetic fluidity. Dogs come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and temperaments, and this diversity has been achieved through selective breeding. Unfortunately, this practice occasionally yields undesirable results, including a higher incidence of certain hereditary defects, deformities, or infirmities within a given breed. Here are 12 common dog breeds and their potential health issues. Labrador Retriever1. Labrador Retriever America’s favorite dog breed is prized for its high intelligence and affectionate nature. In many ways, Labs are perfect family dogs: loyal, gentle, and playful. Health issues with this energetic breed are relatively few, provided the animal gets plenty of daily exercise. Under-exercised pets are prone to weight gain and an increased risk of joint disease due to obesity."

It is part of the Setter family, which includes the red Irish Setters, Irish Red and White Setters, and black-and-tan Gordon Setters. The mainly white body coat is of medium length with long silky fringes on the back of the legs, under the belly and on the tail. The coat features flecks of colour, and the different colour varieties are referred to as belton. A gentle but at times strong-willed, mischievous gun dog, bred for a mix of endurance and athleticism, it is used to hunt for game such as quail, pheasant, and grouse. When working, the dog will hunt methodically seeking the airborne scent of its prey. It is sometimes referred to as the Laverack or Llewellin Setter as these were famous strains of the breed during the major development period in the 19th century. Those from hunting stock are generally of a finer build and with less coat than those bred for show exhibition. Generally reasonably healthy, they have an average life span of 11 to 12 years. The Kennel Club advises UK breeders to screen for hip dysplasia."

Previously, motion-capture was limited to special studio set-up with special motion-capture cameras in very clearly defined surroundings.114 of 117 found this interesting | Share this This movie is the first installment to feature another great ape species besides chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans; Koba, the scarred lab ape and some apes at the Gen-Sys and sanctuary, are bonobos. This species was assumed until very recently to be a subspecies of chimp, explaining its absence in previous films.99 of 103 found this interesting | Share this Caesar's speaking voice was mixed by sound designer Chuck Michael, who mixed the sounds of fully grown male chimps' vocalizations they recorded at Chimp Haven and with Andy Serkis ' voice.107 of 112 found this interesting | Share this In one scene under the vault, Caesar is taking the pose of The Thinker, by French sculptor Auguste Rodin.102 of 107 found this interesting | Share this This is Charlton Heston 's fifth \"\"appearance\"\" in the \"\"Planet of the Apes\"\" franchise. 1) He starred in the original, Planet of the Apes (1968); 2) played a smaller role in Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970); 3) was seen in archive footage (kissing Zira in a sepia yellow flashback) in Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971); 4) had a cameo as Zaius in Tim Burton 's Planet of the Apes (2001) remake; and 5) can be seen on the TV set in the Ape bunkhouse in the role of Michelangelo from The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965) in this movie.99 of 104 found this interesting | Share this Caesar uses a bundle of sticks to explain to Maurice how an ape alone is weak but apes together are strong. The bundle of sticks, or fasces, was a symbol of authority in ancient Rome, the origin of Caesar's name. Caesar's charisma is also reminiscent of Benito Mussolini, who adopted the fasces as the symbol of his Italian Fascist party. The fasces or bundle of sticks concept is also used in several symbols in the architecture of the American White House and Capitol and is the subject of the Aesop fable \"\"The Bundle of Sticks\"\" about a father demonstrating to his sons how they should work together.162 of 174 found this interesting | Share this Andy Serkis based Caesar's behavior on a chimpanzee named Oliver, for the balance of behaving like a civilized chimp. His red shirt and black pants, his appearance and ability to sign well is based on another chimpanzee in science, Nim Chimpsky.73 of 77 found this interesting | Share this This is the second film in which Andy Serkis plays an ape, having previously portrayed 2005's version of King Kong (2005). He was also the motion capture actor for Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), where he bites another character's hand.

"text": "\"Classification: The scientific name for the Western Gorilla stems from a long history of African exploration. Hanno, a navigator from Carthage, documented his travels in western Africa before 480 B. C. E.; the Greek translation of his records reveals that he learned the word \"\"Gorillai\"\" from natives there to name what he described as a \"\"tribe of hairy women.\"\" In 1847, Dr. Thomas Savage also traveled to western Africa and scientifically described the Western Gorilla for the first time, giving it the New Latin name Troglodytes gorilla. The scientific name Gorilla gorilla was later adopted. 1 The taxonomy of Gorilla gorilla , commonly known as the Western Gorilla, is outlined in the following table, along with a list of defining characteristics for each of the taxa. Domain Eukarya cells contain membrane-bound nucleus enclosing DNA and many organelles;Kingdom Animalia multicellular; heterotrophic; lack cell walls; motile at some point in life Phylum Chordata bilaterally symmetrical; triploblastic; highly cephalized; complete digestive tract; notochord, dorsal nerve cord, endostyle, pharyngeal pouches, and post-anal tail each present at some point in life cycle Subphylum Vertebrata cranium protects brain; vertebral column of bone &/or cartilage to protect dorsal nerve cord found in most 5Class Mammalia covered with hair; homeothermic; many glands present including mammary glands to provide nourishment for offspring; jaw consists of single bone; facial muscles and lips present 5Infraclass Eutheria internal fertilization and development of embryo (viviparous) 5Order Primates eyes located on front of face; hands and feet generally good at grasping; flattened nails; large brain size relative to body size 5Suborder Anthropoidea fully opposable thumbs 5Infraorder Catarrhini Old World monkeys and apes: native to Africa and Asia 16Superfamily Hominoidea the \"\"apes:\"\" lack tail 5Family Hominidae the \"\"Great Apes:\"\" relatively large bodies; generally long arms and short legs; capable of bipedalism for at least short periods 5Genus Gorilla largest of the primates; stocky bodies; forearms considerably shorter than upper arms; dark hair covering body except on face, ears, hands and feet 8Species Gorilla gorilla The \"\"Western Gorilla:\"\" found in west-equatorial Africa; slightly smaller than G. beringei with several defining features (See Speciation)This \"\"family tree\"\" outlines the phylogeny of the order Primates and shows the close relationships of Gorilla gorilla to other species, including humans. A great deal of genetic analysis of the higher primates has been completed recently. It is now generally accepted that, contrary to previous beliefs, the genera Gorilla and Pan are actually more closely related to humans than to orangutans. In the past few years, it has also been determined that the genus Gorilla consists of two separate species: G. gorilla, which contains two subspecies ( G. g. gorilla and G. g. diehli ), and G. beringei, which has three probable subspecies.

It has longer hair, jaws and teeth, but slightly shorter arms, than the other subspecies, the eastern lowland gorilla. Adult males grow a patch of silver hair on their back and hips, giving them the name 'silverback'. Size: On average, adult males weigh 160 kg, and adult females 98 kg. Gorillas on volcanoes Mountain gorillas are found at high altitudes (2,500-4,000 m) in montane forests, as well as bamboo forests. Social structure A group of mountain gorillas usually consists of a single dominant silverback male, three adult females, and 4-5 offspring. There is an overlap in group territories and the silverback generally defends his group rather than his territory. Population & distribution Mountain gorillas are found in two separate locations: the Virunga range of extinct volcanic mountains on the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda, and in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Some primatologists believe the Bwindi gorillas may be a separate subspecies."

"text": "\"Difference Between Apes and Gorillas Posted on February 21, 2011 by Aron Last updated on: February 21, 2011Apes vs Gorillas Apes and Gorillas are often confused as one and the same animal. Strictly speaking there are some difference between Apes and Gorillas. First of all it is important to know that Gorilla is a kind of Ape and not vice versa. There are several kinds of Apes for that matter other than Gorilla. One of the important varieties of the Apes is the Chimpanzee. Gorilla is said to have hair characterized by brown color. On the other hand the other types of Apes are characterized by hair that is black in color. This is one of the main differences between Apes and Gorillas. Both of them differ when it comes to the other characteristics pertaining to their physical appearance. It is interesting to know that Gorillas have small eyes and ears but a very large face."

"text": "Study: Last Common Ancestor of Humans and Apes Looked Like Gorilla or Chimpanzee Sep 9, 2015 by News Staff / Source « Previous | Next »Humans split from our closest African ape relatives in the genus Pan around six to seven million years ago. We have features that clearly link us with African apes, but we also have features that appear more primitive. This combination calls into question whether the Homo-Pan last common ancestor looked more like modern day chimpanzees and gorillas or an ancient ape unlike any living group. A new study, published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that the simplest explanation – that the ancestor looked a lot like a chimpanzee or gorilla – is the right one, at least in the shoulder. Scientists carefully study fossils to determine what the last common ancestor of humans and African apes looked like. This image shows Paranthropus boisei, a hominid that lived in sub-Saharan Africa between 2 and 1.4 million years ago. Image credit: © Roman Yevseyev. “It appears that shoulder shape tracks changes in early human behavior such as reduced climbing and increased tool use,” said the study’s lead author Dr Nathan Young of the University of California, San Francisco. The shoulders of African apes consist of a trowel-shaped blade and a handle-like spine that points the joint with the arm up toward the skull, giving an advantage to the arms when climbing or swinging through the branches. In contrast, the scapular spine of monkeys is pointed more downwards."

An ape is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates. Apes are divided into two groups, lesser apes and great apes. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans (humans are also usually falsely included in this category. Of course they want to falsely think they evolved from animals, since they live like beasts and worse like beasts!). Though all these varieties belong to the same group of apes, they have several differences among them. For instance, gibbons are monogamous and territorial pair-bonders, while orangutans mainly live alone. Gorillas wander in small troops, under a single male leader and the chimpanzees generally live in larger troops. Gorillas and chimpanzees inhabit the tropical Africa, whereas orangutans are generally found in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo. Apes, in general, are the most intelligent of all the animals found on earth."

Apes, also referred to as hominoids, include chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and gibbons. Although humans are classified within the Hominoidea, the term ape is not applied to humans and refers instead to all non-human hominoids. In fact, the term ape has a history of ambiguity. At one time it was used to refer to any tail-less primate which included two species of macaques (neither of which belong to the hominoidea). Two subcategories of apes are also commonly identified, great apes (which includes chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans) and the lesser apes (gibbons). Most hominoids, with the exception of humans and gorillas, are skilled and agile tree climbers. Gibbons are the most skilled tree-dwellers of all hominoids. They can swing and leap from branch to branch, moving quickly and efficiency through the trees. This mode of locomotion used by gibbons is referred to as brachiation."

Biologists classify humans, along with only a few other species, as great apes (species in the family Hominidae ). The living Hominidae include two distinct species of chimpanzee (the bonobo, Pan paniscus, and the common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes ), two species of gorilla (the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla, and the eastern gorilla, Gorilla graueri ), and two species of orangutan (the Bornean orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus, and the Sumatran orangutan, Pongo abelii ). The great apes with the family Hylobatidae of gibbons form the superfamily Hominoidea of apes. Apes, in turn, belong to the primate order (>400 species), along with the Old World monkeys, the New World monkeys, and others. Data from both mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) and nuclear DNA (n DNA) indicate that primates belong to the group of Euarchontoglires, together with Rodentia, Lagomorpha, Dermoptera, and Scandentia. [ 1] This is further supported by Alu-like short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) which have been found only in members of the Euarchontoglires. ["

Gorillas, like many African primates, are also subject to human warfare in parts of their range. CONSERVATION THREATS & POTENTIAL SOLUTIONSThreat: Human Induced Habitat Loss and Degradation Habitat loss and modification due to human activity is a primary threat to gorilla survival. Agriculture, logging, fuelwood and forest product collection, and grazing domestic animals all degrade gorilla habitat and are problems that only increase as the human population in Africa grows (Plumptre et al. 2003).

Answered Oct 17, 2016 · Author has 325 answers and 394.1k answer views The most immediate distinction between apes and monkeys is the presence of a tail in monkeys. This is actually a simplification as there are certain primates that do possess tails and are yet not classified as monkeys. Lemurs, Lorises, Galagos and Tarsiers are the primates to which this rule applies. While it may not be very easy to notice, or very explanatory, the diagram above should aid in understanding this a little better. Lemurs, Lorises and Galagos belong to a suborder group known as Strepsirrhini or wet-nosed primates. Tarsiers belong to the other suborder group called Haplorhini or dry-nosed primates; to which all other primates belong to also. Despite this, the tarsiers do not belong to the same group that monkeys and apes belong to which is Simiiformes or the simians.

Today the ingredients are typically rolled oats, honey or other sweetener, nuts, and perhaps dried fruits. The mixture is stirred while baking, resulting in a fairly loose consistency. The rolled grains are not expanded by absorption of water as when oatmeal is prepared as a hot cereal, so granola is a more concentrated food. It is eaten dry, or in milk or with yogurt, or sprinkled on fruits or other cereals.

Rachael Marks Emerson College March 27, 2017facebook twitter pinterest There's no argument that Trader Joe's is a wonderful place to find unique grocery items, healthier choices, diet-friendly foods, and great prices, but all of that greatness can lead to an illusion. Because Trader Joe's is more conscious of stocking good products, they don't use artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup, making our purchases inherently healthier. While most foods here are a bit healthier, when it comes to buying snacks, things get blurry. Cookies, candies, chips, and ice cream are unhealthy snacks no matter how you cut it. A snack should provide you with energy or be an occasional method of treating yourself. But no matter how you snack, you should always read the ingredients and nutrition facts. Here are 14 unhealthy Trader Joe's snacks to be cautious of.1. World's Puffiest Sour Cream & Onion Corn Puffs Rachael Marks2.5 cups (28g/1oz): 130 calories, 5g fat (0.5g saturated fat), 200mg sodium, 20g carbs (1g sugar), 2g protein They might be far from the world's saltiest balls of corn, but they're still packing a lot for a snack that gives you absolutely no nutrients. A snack that can't fill you up is dangerous, especially the salty ones."

"text": "How Schools Can Help Promote Healthy Eatingby JENNIFER ANDREWS Oct. 03, 2017Healthy eating habits are formed during the childhood and adolescent years, when schools can have a large impact on the development of these habits. Health programs run by schools can provide the necessary skills, environment and support needed for lifelong, healthy eating behaviors. A nutritious diet combined with regular physical activity support optimal physical growth and intellectual development and decrease the risk of mineral deficiencies, obesity, heart disease and stroke. It is important that schools promote healthy eating habits through programs and guidelines. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Offer nutrition education consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid to help kids develop healthy eating patterns. Nutrition and health classes that focus on what foods are healthy and why, what foods to eat in moderation and why and the impact of healthy foods on our bodies should be taught to children and adolescents. Step 2Serve healthy meal options for kids. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than half of youth in the United States eat one major meal out of three in school, while one in 10 eat two out of three meals at school. Schools should eliminate or reduce meal options that are unhealthy such as french fries, burgers and ice cream in favor of fruits, vegetables, whole-grains and lean protein. Step 3Add healthy snack items to vending machines in place of soda pop, chips and candy bars."

"text": "Lara Bar - Only 2 Ingredients November 13, 2009 6 Comments The holy grail for healthy packaged snacking is finding a snack with fewer than 5 ingredients. The Lara Bar fits this definition well. Why do we care about fewer ingredients? Because having less ingredients usually means that there are less chemicals, sugar, and additives in your food. The fewer ingredients a snack has, the less it has been processed by the manufacturer which means more nutritious elements remain in the food. Processing removes many of the vitamins, minerals and other beneficial compounds, some of which then get added back but never all of them. Twinkies are a great example of this. A Chewy Granola Bar has 7 forms of sugar listed on its label. Why? So parents won't realize that sugar should be the second ingredient on the package."

But summer doesn’t give us the right to eat poorly. It’s important to stay healthy all year round. Relaxing at the beach is a great way to spend the day, but make sure you bring some healthy treats to share. Before you set out for a day at the beach, it’s always smart to plan ahead and pack some yummy food to bring along. Instead of bringing junk food, this year try something new and healthy. I love to freeze different foods the night before my beach escape. Frozen fruits, like grapes and blueberries, are especially refreshing in the heat, taste great and provide you with healthy nutrients. Freezing yogurt the night before can also make for a great beach snack. By the time you’re ready to eat, the yogurt won’t be frozen but will be nice and cold."

"text": "Nine Types of Healthy Foods with Low Sodium Fitday Editor Nutrition Healthy Eating Sodium, or salt, is a hidden preservative in many foods. Too much sodium in your diet increases your risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. If you have been advised to lower your salt intake for health reasons or you simply want to cut back on how much salt you ingest, then read the below list of healthy foods that are low in sodium. A food is considered low in sodium if it has less than 140 mg of sodium chloride per serving. Crackers Two graham crackers, varieties include cinnamon, chocolate, low fat or original; five unsalted saltine crackers that are unsalted, or sixteen low sodium wheat thins. Pastas A great low-sodium option is pasta. To increase the nutrients, fiber and overall health benefits, look for pastas that are made with whole wheat flour. Great pasta choices include two ounces of pasta, ½ cup of elbow macaroni, ¾ cup of rotini or three jumbo shells. Starches According to the United States Department of Agriculture, most sodium in the American diet comes from prepackaged foods. By eating freshly made starches that feature whole grains, you will have low-sodium, healthy food."

But, no matter the difficulty, knowing what kids need to stay healthy is absolutely essential to placing the right foods on their plates. So, what constitutes a healthy snack for growing children? As with adults, a balanced diet requires careful consideration in choosing the entire contents of each plate or snack consumed to ensure that an adequate supply of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates is included. Most children (and adults) lack the fiber, vitamins, and minerals they need in their daily diet. An easy solution seems to be the addition of vegetables and fruits to add dietary fiber to their regular regimen of healthy living, however getting your child to actually eat these foods is another matter entirely. How to Encourage Healthy Snacking Habits in Your Child If you're a parent, chances are you've put something on the dinner table that your child simply would not touch. Luckily, our resident Health Nut and Registered Dietitian is a mom herself who knows these tribulations all too well. As such, she’s selected snacks and recipes that appeal to the palates of children and has shared a few tips to encourage healthy eating in your household. Introducing your children to new foods, flavors and textures may require repetition before you find healthy options that really stick."

Plasma The top layer, which constitutes 54% of the total blood volume, is the plasma. This fluid portion contains serum proteins and other substances. B. Buffy coat The thin middle layer is called the buffy coat, which accounts for about 1% of the total blood volume. It contains the leukocytes and platelets. C. Packed erythrocytes The bottom layer, which accounts for about 45% of the total blood volume, is composed of erythrocytes . The percentage of blood volume occupied by erythrocytes is called the hematocrit, which reflects the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Blood is generally studied as a smear; that is, as a small volume of blood spread thinly on a glass slide. The terminology of blood cells is based on how they stain. The two most widely used stains, Wright and Giemsa, employ a mixture of acid and basic dyes in a single solution. The acid and basic dyes are usually eosin and methylene blue, respectively."

Papadaki; Charalampos Pontikoglou Disclosures Expert Rev Hematol. 2008;1 (2):217-229. In This Article Abstract and Introduction Primary Autoimmune Neutropenia Chronic Idiopathic Neutropenia Expert Commentary Five-year View References Chronic Idiopathic Neutropenia This disorder is usually diagnosed incidentally and can be distinguished from other chronic neutropenia states by its acquired and static character, the usually benign and uncomplicated course and the absence of antineutrophil Abs. [ 78, 79] It mainly affects middle-aged women with a female:male ratio of 3-6:1 and a median age at diagnosis of 50.5 years. [ 43, 80] Interestingly, in patients less than 18 years of age, only a slight female predominance has been described. [ 80] An HLA-DRB1*1302 genetic predisposition defining a relative risk of 8.36 for the development of CIN has been described. [ 81] Apart from these general characteristics, very strict diagnostic criteria have been introduced for the diagnosis of CIN: ANCs less than 1800/µl for white subjects and less than 1500/µl blood for individuals of African origin for more than 3 months; absence of clinical, serologic or ultrasonic evidence of any underlying disease that might be associated with neutropenia; no history of exposure to irradiation or use of chemical compounds or intake of drugs to which neutropenia might be ascribed; normal BM karyotype; and repetitive negative tests for serum antineutrophil Abs using both GAT and GIFT. [ 78] All of the above criteria are mainly exclusion criteria aiming to differentially diagnose CIN from other neutropenia states including P-AIN. Clinical Aspects Chronic idiopathic neutropenia usually persists throughout life without major complications. The incidence of infections has been estimated in 1.9% per year and depends exclusively on the severity of neutropenia. ["

"text": "Examination of Pleural Effusions Pleural effusion may be induced by congestion, trauma, inflammation, infection and neoplasia affecting pleura, lungs, heart or mediastinum. The clinical signs of pleural effusion are variable (dyspnoea, thoracic pain, coughing). A diagnose of pleural effusion is mostly made radiographicly. Fluid can be identified between the lungs and thorax wall and/or within pleural fissures of the lung lobes. For identifying the cause of the effusion a macroscopic, physical/chemical and cytological examination of a thoracic aspiration is helpful. Macroscopic findings Fluid from thorax may appear watery clear (hydrothorax), purulent (pyothorax), milky (chylus) or haemorrhagic (haemothorax). However, the aetiology of the effusion cannot be determined in most cases (fig. 1). Fig.1 Macroscopic findings of different pleural effusions: 1) Chylothorax, 2) Traumatic effusion, 3) Lymphoma, 4) Positive Rivalta test, 5) FIP, 6) Pulmonary carcinoma, 7) Pulmonary carcinoma, 8) Traumatic effusion Physical / chemical findings Physical/chemical examinations of pleural effusions are mostly used to differentiate transudate, modified transudate, exudate and chylus. In most cases an additional cytology is needed to narrow down the aetiology."

There are five types of leukocytes, each with distinct morphologies and functions. According to Gary Thibodeau, Ph D, and Kevin Patton, Ph D, authors of “The Human Body in Health and Disease,” abnormal leukocyte levels can indicate serious health problems. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Granular vs. Nongranular Cytoplasm The five types of leukocytes are divided into two categories: granulocytes and nongranulocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are granulocytes. These contain visible granules in their cytoplasm when stained and observed under a microscope. Nongranulocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes. These leukocytes display no granules in their cytoplasm. Single vs. Multilobed Nuclei Thibodeau and Patton explain that granulocytes have multilobed nuclei. The configuration of these lobes varies with the type of granulocyte."

We shall discuss all about their types and functions in the following article. One of the most important cells of our immune system are the leukocytes or white blood cells (WBCs). These cells are free from hemoglobin and belong to the reticuloendothelial cell system. White blood cells are divided into two types, granular and agranular leukocytes. The agranular ones contain a single nucleus while granular ones are polynucleated cells. In the following paragraphs, we shall concentrate solely on granular leukocytes and their types. What are Granular Leukocytes These cells have multilobed nuclei that function against non-specific invading agents in the body. They make up about 50 to 70% of all white blood cells. When stained, one can view differently stained granules in the cytoplasm under light microscopy."

Ewing, DVM, MS, DACVP (Anatomic and Clinical Pathology) www.angell.org/[email protected] 617 541-5014Summary Granulocytic anaplasmosis should be included on a differential diagnoses list for any cat that lives in an Ixodes spp. endemic area with potential tick exposure and that presents with acute or intermittent, vague symptoms of lethargy, anorexia and fever. In the northeastern USA, infections are most common in the months of May, June and October. Clinicopathologic findings may include anemia, neutrophilia or neutropenia, lymphopenia, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypoalbuminemia or hyperalbuminemia. Diagnosis of anaplasmosis is made by identification of morulae in neutrophils on peripheral blood smears, and/or positive PCR or serologic results, and response to treatment. An effective treatment is doxycycline administered orally at a dosage of 5 mg/kg once a day for 14-28 days. Prevention strategy includes limiting outdoor access, use of topical acaricides and/or tick repellents and daily tick checks. With tick-borne diseases in small animal practice, a major focus is prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these conditions in dogs. However, it is important to recognize that tick-borne diseases also occur in cats. In 2015, we published a retrospective study of granulocytic anaplasmosis in 16 cats in the northeastern USA."

Types Causes Symptoms Treatments Neutropenia is characterized by a significant reduction in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that is an essential first line of defense against infections. The main complication of neutropenia is an increased risk of infection. Neutrophils are made in the bone marrow. They are short-lived cells that travel extensively throughout the body and can enter tissues other cells cannot. Most commonly, cancer patients develop neutropenia due to chemotherapy. The drugs involved destroy the neutrophils along with the cancer cells they are designed to kill. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatments of neutropenia.

Values of Immature Granulocytes (IG) Count References Immature granulocytes are part of your immune system response to infection or inflammation. A granulocyte is one of your white blood cells that is made of protein granules. When you get a complete blood cell count test done, you will see these listed as neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. They come on to help your body fight off infection and as the infection gets worse the number of granulocytes increases. When you have immature granulocytes, your body is showing that it is likely in the early stages of an infection. They may also signal an inflammatory response to an injury or autoimmune condition. Rarely, it may be a sign of malignancy in the body. What Are Immature Granulocytes?"

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Hematology Neutrophilia Updated: Dec 29, 2015Author: Nader D Nader, MD, Ph D, FCCP; Chief Editor: Emmanuel C Besa, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Neutrophilia refers to a higher than normal number of neutrophils. Neutrophilia may result from a shift of cells from the marginal to the circulating pool (shift neutrophilia) without an increase in the total blood granulocyte pool (TBGP) or from a true increase in TBGP size (true neutrophilia). During established infection, the neutrophil count remains elevated, with equal numbers in the marginal and the circulating pool. During the recovery phase, the flow of cells from the marrow decreases, with a resultant decrease in the number of neutrophils. The adequate production and distribution of normally functioning neutrophils is vital to host defense. During an infection, chemotactic agents are generated that attract neutrophils to the site of infection, which in turn play a critical role in phagocytosing and killing microorganisms. Shift neutrophilia Shift neutrophilia is usually transient and may occur in association with vigorous exercise or an epinephrine injection and usually lasts 20-30 minutes. [ 1] Shift neutrophilia is also seen in cases of seizures and paroxysmal tachycardia. No increase in nonsegmented neutrophilic forms occurs, because no change occurs in the inflow of neutrophils from the marrow. True neutrophilia True neutrophilia occurs in most cases of neutrophilia that are related to infections."

Aiding Constipation According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), constipation is defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week. Oftentimes, people also experience other symptoms, such as bloating, fatigue and pain when trying to pass stool. The NIDDK estimates that more than 4 million Americans experience frequent constipation. To relieve constipation, experts recommend eating a diet that is high in fiber. Grapes are a significant source of insoluble fiber, which the Mayo Clinic explains aids and promotes the movement of materials through the digestive system, reducing the likelihood of painful, difficult-to-pass stools."

The fact is that both prunes and prune juice have been used for centuries to relieve constipation and, amazingly, they both seem to work but in different ways. Prunes contain not just one but at least three different ingredients that work together to help keep your digestive system on track. Prunes and Fiber For starters, prunes, also called dried plums, are high in insoluble fiber, which is perhaps one of the reasons they help prevent constipation. Because it's incredibly absorbent, insoluble fiber soaks up large amounts of water, making stools larger and easier to pass, decreasing transit time. The insoluble fiber in prunes also provide food for \"\"good\"\" bacteria in the large intestine. When the good bacteria use this insoluble fiber, they produce butyric acid, which is a short-chain fatty acid that is the primary fuel for intestinal cells to maintain a healthy colon. These bacteria also form other short-chain fatty acids, such as acetic and propionic acid, that are used as cellular fuel in the liver and muscles. Prunes also contain soluble fiber, that helps lower cholesterol and with it the risk of heart disease."

Not when it keeps happening multiple times that day!There are many causes of loose stools, most of which are not serious. Most diarrhea illnesses are more of a nuisance than a medical problem and clear up easily with extra fluids and minor changes in the diet. The main concern with diarrhea is dehydration. Your baby’s body contains just the right balance of salts (called electrolytes) and water. Healthy intestines and kidneys regulate this balance, causing the body to lose water and electrolytes, or dehydrate. Add vomiting and you further increase the risk of dehydration.

Bone Health: Grapes are a wonderful source of micro-nutrients like copper, iron, and manganese, all of which are important in the formation and strength of the bones. Adding grapes into your diet on a regular basis can prevent the onset of age-related conditions like osteoporosis. Manganese is an extremely important element in the body, which aids in everything from protein metabolism, collagen formation, and nervous system functioning. Heart diseases: Grapes increase the nitric oxide levels in the blood, which prevents blood clots. Therefore, grapes are an effective way to reduce the chances of heart attacks. Additionally, the antioxidants present in grapes prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which blocks the blood vessels and is a main contributor to various coronary conditions. Grapes also have high numbers of flavonoids, which are what give grapes their color, but flavonoids are also very powerful antioxidants. The two main types in grapes are resveratrol and quercetin, and these two compounds negate the effects of free radicals that threaten the body and stimulate LDL cholesterol’s harmful effects on arteries. Also, these two antioxidant flavonoids act as a clean-up crew to reduce platelet clumping and filter toxins out of the blood."

Also, red and black grapes are said be avoided during pregnancy, as it contains thick skin, it is hard for a pregnant women to digest it fast."

"text": "29 Aug The Real Truth About Grapes & Dogs Sniff...but that's it!Grapes – To feed, or not to feed? For a long time, there’s been an ongoing debate about whether or not grapes (and raisins) are toxic to dogs. I’ve discussed the question of grape toxicity in dogs some time ago on one of my past radio shows, and I admit that I have always been skeptical of this because many of my clients have fed grapes and raisins in small amounts and never had any problems. But several veterinarians have provided some recent evidence and personal experiences that convinced me that there is some validity to the issue. My own suspicion has always been that the root cause is a fungal toxin that causes some dogs to get sick (through renal failure), and this theory is supported by the fact that this toxicity occurs even among dogs that consume organic grapes (organic produce should, in theory, rule out pesticides or chemical toxins as a culprit). But the latest news appears to indicate that copper compounds may be the underlying factor for the potential toxicity of grapes and raisins. Why? Copper compounds are often used in organic farming as an fungicide (fungus is one of the most common problems in commercial grape operations). Some breeds of dogs, especially the West Highland White Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, and Doberman Pinscher, tend to have a genetic predisposition and sensitivity to copper. So, copper compounds infused into grapes combined with breed-specific genetic sensitivities could explain why some dogs are affected while others aren’t."

"text": "\"Are Grapes Good for Your Diet?by JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017The U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends consuming at least 1 1/2 to 2 servings of fruits, such as grapes, per day as part of a healthy diet. These nutritious fruits are low in calories and energy density and may provide some health benefits, making them a good choice the next time you are looking for a fruit to add to your plate. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Nutrient Content A 1-cup serving of grapes has 62 calories, 0.3 gram of fat, 0.6 gram of protein and 15.8 grams of carbohydrates. It will provide you with 17 percent of the daily value for vitamin K and 33 percent of the DV for manganese if you follow a 2,000-calorie diet, as well as smaller amounts of many other essential vitamins and minerals. Manganese is an antioxidant essential for wound healing, bone development and metabolism, and you need vitamin K for strong bones and blood clotting. Energy Density Fruits and vegetables, including grapes, tend to be low in energy density, meaning they don't have many calories per gram. Eating mainly foods low in energy density can help you maintain a healthy weight because you can fill up on fewer calories than if you ate foods higher in energy density. One way to include grapes as part of a healthy diet is to eat them in place of foods higher in energy density, such as cookies, cakes, ice cream and other sweet treats. Eat a smaller portion of your main dish at lunch and add a serving of grapes to help fill you up, snack on grapes instead of raisins and include sliced grapes in your salad instead of dried fruit. Grapes and Diet Quality People who eat grapes tend to have a higher diet quality than those who don't, according to a study published in the \"\"Journal of Food Science\"\" in June 2013."

"text": "List of Superfoods (or The Healthiest Foods You Can Eat)Coined in the late 1990s, the term 'superfood' is commonly used by food bloggers and journalists to refer to berries, fruits, vegetables and other foods with proven health benefits and/or exceptionally high nutritional value. However, there is no scientific definition of what constitutes a superfood. This means that any superfood list is, at its best, a subjective selection of some the world's most nutrient-dense foods. Some widely recognized superfoods include pomegranates, kale, cranberries, aronia berries, maqui berries, Concord grapes, matcha green tea powder, garlic and turmeric root. Heal With Food.org's List of Top Superfoods (see below) includes all of the above listed nutritional goodies, plus a whole bunch of other ancient and new super-nutritious foods. The purpose of this page is to make you familiar with some of the world's healthiest foods and to inspire you to expand your culinary horizons by incorporating some less well known nutritional heavyweights into your diet. If you're interested in learning more about the health benefits of any of the foods included in the charts, simply click on the name of the superfood and you will be directed to Heal With Food.org's in-depth article discussing the potential nutritional and medicinal properties of that food. Note: Most authorities today agree that eating a varied, well-balanced diet that includes a lot of organically-grown produce is key to good health (for a continuous supply of ideas on how to keep your diet varied, visit the Heal With Food.org home page on a regular basis). This also means that eating excessive amounts of any specific food – no matter how nutritious or healthy it is – may do your body more harm than good. Superberries When it comes to the healthiest foods on the planet, many common (and some less common) berries are inarguably right there on top of the list."

"text": "Print Page Email Page Top 15 Healthy Foods for People with Kidney Disease By Da Vita ® renal dietitian, Sara Colman, RD, CSR, CDEResearchers are discovering more and more links between chronic diseases, inflammation and “super foods” that may prevent or protect against undesirable fatty acid oxidation, a condition that occurs when the oxygen in your body reacts with fats in your blood and your cells. Oxidation is a normal process for energy production and many chemical reactions in the body, but excessive oxidation of fats and cholesterol creates molecules known as free radicals that can damage your proteins, cell membranes and genes. Heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other chronic and degenerative conditions have been linked to oxidative damage. However, foods that contain antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and protect the body. Many of the foods that protect against oxidation are included in the kidney diet and make excellent choices for dialysis patients or people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Eating healthy foods, working with a renal dietitian and following a renal diet made up of kidney-friendly foods is important for people with kidney disease because they experience more inflammation and have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease.1. Red bell peppers1/2 cup serving red bell pepper = 1 mg sodium, 88 mg potassium, 10 mg phosphorus Red bell peppers are low in potassium and high in flavor, but that’s not the only reason they’re perfect for the kidney diet. These tasty vegetables are also an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A, as well as vitamin B6, folic acid and fiber. Red bell peppers are good for you because they contain lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against certain cancers. Eat red bell peppers raw with dip as a snack or appetizer, or mix them into tuna or chicken salad."

"text": "White Wine vs. Red Wine By Allison Ford for Divine Caroline http://www.divinecaroline.com/user/profile/122347-allison-ford In 1991, British medical journal the Lancet published a paper that gave wine lovers everywhere a reason to rejoice. In searching for the cause of the so-called “French paradox” (French people were thought to experience a far lower incidence of heart disease, though their diet was rich in butter and fat), researchers theorized that a liquid lunch was what did the trick. Despite eating all the croissants their whittled waistlines desired, the French stayed healthy because their diet regularly included red wine. People have extolled the benefits of red wine for centuries, but since the 1990s, it has been shown to be a “superfood” many times over, protecting the body from heart disease, stroke, cancer, and countless other chronic maladies. A diet that includes moderate amounts of red wine can reduce mortality from these afflictions by 30 to 50 percent, according to some studies. But one group of people isn’t so thrilled by the good news about red wine—people who prefer white wine and feel that their beverage of choice has been unfairly maligned. It’s in the Skin The reason red wine gets so much credit is that it’s full of a potent blend of some of the strongest antioxidant chemicals found in nature—even more potent than vitamins C and E, which are considered some of the most powerful. Besides polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other bioactive compounds, red wine contains resveratrol, a chemical that has shown remarkable promise in protecting the heart and brain from damage, reducing inflammation, and reversing harmful health conditions. These helpful compounds, found in the skins of grapes, appear more abundantly in red wine than in white, because red wine grapes stay in contact with their skins for much longer in the winemaking process, while white wine grapes are separated from their skins early on. So naturally, much of the published research shows that when it comes to preventing colon cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease, red wine should be people’s beverage of choice."

"text": "\"Grape Vitis vinifera Common names Fox Grape Grape Grape Vine Vine The vine or the grape is one of the most well known plants in the world. The grape grows as a shrub from one large vine, which is characterized by twisted stems that bear rather small, round and green branches with a lot of large and alternating placed palm shaped leaves. The vine also bears many tiny flowers that are grouped in a light green panicle on the stem. Grapes bear clusters of berries, which are the fruits; typically each berry is characterized by a variable color, which can go from being light green to deep blue, depending on the variety of grape. Each single berry in a grape berry cluster will contain about five and ten seeds, though seedless varieties have been bred and are much more common. The grape grows from a single vine, and original vines from very good stock can live for up to six hundred years at a time. Historically, the grape is one of the oldest continuously cultivated plants in human civilization. Egyptians cultivated grapes to make wine and raisins, and extant dried grape seeds have been discovered in mummy cases found in ancient Egyptian tombs older than 3,000 years old - Egyptian paintings on tombs also depict viticulture and cultivation of grapes. The Sumerians probably cultivated grape, the Bible speaks of grape cultivation during Noah's time and the ancient writer Homer speaks of the Greeks drinking wines made from grapes. The European type of grape vine was first cultivated in the North American continent by the Mission Fathers of California."

Dieters on the program are encouraged to choose foods that are dense with nutrition but low in fat and calories, since these items will not only enhance your health, but they'll also keep you feeling full longer. Weight Watchers helps followers identify these foods easily by giving each a Points Plus value. To lose weight, you're instructed to eat foods that add up to or less than your daily Points Plus target, which is a number derived from your age, height, gender, current weight and desired weight. Red grapes are a good choice, since they are both healthy and have a low Points Plus value. Points Plus Value of Red Grapes On the Weight Watchers diet, a 1-cup serving of fresh red grapes has a Points Plus value of 3. A food's Points Plus value is determined by how much total fat, carbohydrates, fiber and protein the item contains per serving, as well as how much energy your body needs to expend to burn off the calories it provides. Each cup of fresh red grapes has 0.24 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrate, 1.4 grams of fiber and 1.09 grams of protein. Benefits of Red Grapes Because red grapes have such a low Points Plus value, you can eat more of them while you're on Weight Watchers than you can other, more high-calorie foods without using up too many of the day's available points. Weight Watchers recommends reaching for red grapes to help you resist temptation when you're hungry for a sugary snack."

A cup of most sliced or chopped raw fruits fulfills half of this requirement, including 1 cup of whole grapes – equivalent to about 32 whole seedless grapes. Both the red and green varieties are low in fat, high in fiber and a source of essential vitamins. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Vitamin KEach 1-cup serving of fresh grapes contains 22 micrograms of vitamin K. For a man, this amount supplies 18 percent of his recommended daily allowance; for a woman, a cup of grapes fulfills 24 percent of her vitamin K requirement per day. Your body needs adequate vitamin K to build strong bones and to synthesize several of the proteins required for blood coagulation. If your diet lacks foods rich in vitamin K, you may be more likely to develop osteoporosis or bleed too much when injured. Vitamin B-6As an adult, you should get at least 1.3 milligrams of vitamin B-6 each day. Grapes contain 0.13 milligrams of vitamin B-6 in every cup, supplying 10 percent of the required daily intake. Also known as pyridoxine, vitamin B-6 is necessary for the production of neurotransmitters and hormones such as serotonin.

In these countries, grape leaves are typically steamed and stuffed with rice, ground meat, vegetables and herbs. In a sense, they are as important in the Mediterranean diet as tortillas are in Mexican cuisine, except grape leaves are lower in fat and higher in some nutrients. You can find grape leaves in smaller ethnic grocery stores, and you can be buy them raw, canned or bottled. Cuisine Grape leaves are part of Mediterranean cuisine because grape vines thrive in the region. Grapes are made into red and white wines, whereas the leaves have developed into convenient and nutritious wrap for tasty finger foods. In Greece, rice, minced meat, parsley and spices wrapped in grape leaves are called \"\"dolmathes,\"\" whereas a similar dish cooked in tomato sauce is called \"\"warak diwali\"\" in Arabic countries. Grape leaves are slightly bitter and not especially appetizing if you eat them raw, which is why they are not typically added to salads. However, once steamed or lightly marinated in some vinegar, grape leaves become much more palatable.

But rats still need a diet specially formulated for them. Please note that I do not believe “Sue Bee’s Rat Diet” advertised on the internet is a nutritionally complete diet for rats. If you want to give your rats a homemade diet, please see my recipe below. When buying a commercial diet for your rats, I recommend one that has at least 18% protein for growing rats, and I don’t think 23% protein is too much for growing rats. Female rats tend to reach most of their physical growth at 6 months, but probably are not completely physically mature until 8 months of age, and male rats reach most of their adult growth at 8 months, but probably do not reach full physical maturity until one year of age. Please note that Oxbow has two different rat formulas, one for adult rats and one for mice and young rats. Unless they’ve changed it, the label on the adult formula says it’s okay to give it to rats over 4 months of age, but I do not agree. I think the Oxbow adult formula should not be given to rats who are still growing. ( Females stop growing about 6-8 months, and males 8-10 months.)"

Unfortunately the body requires some fat content in our foods but you’ll need to learn which fats your damaged pancreas can tolerate and in what quantities. Your pancreatitis diet needs to be tailored to you just like a fine suit of clothes. And …Many people who suffer from pancreatitis believe what their doctor tells them regarding what should be safe for their pancreatitis diet. They believe the nutritionist, the nurse, the sick people in their favorite support groups, the guy down the street that can’t even spell pancreatitis let alone give competent advice concerning a pancreatitis diet. That is a HUGE mistake. Pancreatitis is nothing to play around with or take lightly and neither is your pancreatitis diet. If you have been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and want to prevent recurrent attacks your pancreatitis diet – what you put in your mouth and swallow – is very important because …Chronic pancreatitis can turn ugly at any time and result in acute pancreatitis.

"title": "http://oa.newlifeoutlook.com/adding-grapes-to-your-diet/\nThe Link between Grapes and Joint Health",
"text": "The Link between Grapes and Joint Health A recent study out of Texas Women’s University concluded that grapes can have impressive anti-inflammatory effects, and their powerful benefits could even alter osteoarthritis outcomes. In short, including grapes in your regular diet can improve many of your most severe symptoms, resulting in less knee pain, more range of motion and better joint flexibility. How Grapes Can Reduce OA Symptoms Researchers have traced the benefits to polyphenols, specific antioxidants found in a number of whole foods, including grapes. The fruit contains a group of polyphenols called flavonoids, which have a reputation for fighting inflammation in all areas of the body; in fact, studies found that a combination of grape seeds and grape skin almost matched the effects of indomethacin, a pharmaceutical commonly reserved for degenerative joint diseases. Traditional pain and inflammation relievers like NSAIDs and aspirin stop certain molecules from relaying the inflammatory response to your brain, and it seems that polyphenols do the same. But while grapes are loaded with flavonoids as well as a host of other anti-cancer and anti-aging polyphenols, it’s unclear how many you would need to eat to get lasting, noticeable results. Instead of switching out other fruits and veggies, take a tactful approach to your diet for a good dose of the inflammation-fighting ingredients alongside all of the other important nutrients your muscles and joints need. See Also Osteoarthritis Drug Treatment Osteoporosis Arthritis Glucosamine Arthritis Joint Pain Relief You might also like... Fatigue's Impact on OAAdvertisement Reap the Most Reward with Better Choices Since grapes are so abundant in polyphenols there’s certainly room for them in your diet, but why stop there? Making a few small but clever switches can dramatically decrease your inflammation and keep your muscles and organs in good working order: Olive oil over vegetable oil. Compared to most other oils, olive oil has an exceptional amount of omega 3 fatty acids, which produce compounds called resolvins that fight inflammation."

Most experts believe that getting antioxidants from food is the most healthful way to obtain them but they may also be taken as supplements. Recently Answered Q How do antioxidants benefit people who exercise?1 Answer A Dr. Vonda Wright, MD , Orthopedic Surgery, answered Vitamins C and E and carotene are called antioxidant vitamins because they may protect against exercise-induced \"\"oxidative stress.\"\" Several scientific reviews detail the benefits of antioxidant supplements in protecting our bodies against the harmful effects of free radical damage. However, studies have not shown that these vitamins enhance exercise performance. Vegetarian athletes may have an advantage over non vegetarians since antioxidants are readily obtained from a diet rich in vegetables, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, which vegetarians consume. Q Which foods are rich in antioxidants?10 Answers A Piedmont Heart Institute answered Antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as in other foods including nuts, grains, and some meats, poultry, and fish.

Now her daughter is eczema-free and Karen recently spoke about The Itchy Dozen Worst Foods for Eczema on the Australian 7 News story \"\"breakthrough diet for eczema\"\". Article by Karen Fischer: The Itchy Dozen Worst Foods for Eczema People are often surprised to find the Itchy Dozen includes some of the so-called 'good' foods for eczema. I know the Itchy Dozen contradicts some popular beliefs published in online blogs. However, according to Australian research conducted over the past thirty years, these foods could be the reason your skin is dry, flaky and incredibly itchy (ref: Loblay and Swain). I've seen this information help hundreds of so called 'hopeless' cases of eczema. People who have had eczema for 20, 30 or 40 years and more, who thought they were stuck with eczema for life, are seeing their eczema clear up for the first time. It can really change lives but it requires a change in beliefs about healthy eating. This quote sums it up:\"\"One man's medicine is another man's sleepless night itching. \"\" So a food that is good for an eczema-free person, such as avocado, could trigger a bout of maddening itching in another person."

Glugging red wine - or munching actual grapes, should that be your bag - doesn't prevent or reduced actual embulgement. What is does seem to do, according to the latest research, is prevent the lard building up in the liver as it is normally prone to do in persons from the longer-belted community. Biochemist Neil Shay and his colleagues have been growing human liver and fat cells in their lab, and exposing them to chemicals generally found in dark grapes and things made from them. It seems that one chemical in particular, ellagic acid, did the liver cells a power of good and seriously bothered the fat cells. \"\" We didn't find, and we didn't expect to, that these compounds would improve body weight,\"\" says Shay. \"\" But by boosting the burning of fat, especially in the liver, they may improve liver function in overweight people. \"\" If we could develop a dietary strategy for reducing the harmful accumulation of fat in the liver, using common foods like grapes, that would be good news. \"\""

DAY 1Breakfast1/2 Grapefruit Substitute: Some people can’t eat grapefruit because it interferes with medication. Other people just don’t like the taste. NEVER substitute orange for grapefruit. Oranges will create the opposite effect intended for the Military Diet. To get the same Military Diet benefits as grapefruit, put 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it. Alternatively, you can squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and add Stevia. Why is Baking Soda a substitute for grapefruit? It has to do with the body’s p H levels, which are either alkaline or acid."

A cup of slip-skin grapes, such as concord grapes, has just 62 calories per cup.

European-style table grapes -- the red and green grapes you often see at the grocery store -- have 104 calories per cup.

"text": "Davide Illini/Stocksy1 / 11 The Anti-Cancer Diet: Foods That Prevent Cancer An anti-cancer diet is an important strategy you can use to reduce your risk of cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends, for example, that you eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily and eat the right amount of food to stay at a healthy weight. In addition, researchers are finding that certain foods that prevent cancer may be an important part of an anti-cancer diet. Although selecting cancer-fighting foods at the grocery store and at mealtime can't guarantee cancer prevention, good choices may help reduce your risk. Consider these anti-cancer diet guidelines: Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and nutrients that are thought to reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Eating more plant-based foods also gives you little room for foods high in sugar. Instead of filling up on processed or sugary foods, eat fruits and vegetables for snacks. The Mediterranean diet offers foods that fight cancer, focusing mostly on plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. People who follow the Mediterranean diet choose cancer-fighting foods like olive oil over butter and fish instead of red meat."

Considered a part of the berry family, you can find some grapes with edible seeds while others are seedless. Similar to blueberries, grapes are often covered by a protective, whitish bloom. They grow on a grapevine ( Vitis vinifera) and belong to the family Vitaceae, which is comprises about 60 inter-fertile wild Vitis species found throughout Asia, North America and Europe under subtropical, Mediterranean and continental–temperate climatic conditions. Grapes are vastly used for cultivation of fruit, juice, jams and wine. We all know how delicious and versatile grapes are — used to make wine, raisins and grapeseed oil, among other grape products — but do you know all the benefits grapes nutrition provides? These delicious fruits has been shown to help extend life, reduce obesity and diabetes risk, and may even help prevent cancer.

While there are a variety of fruits your rabbit can safely eat, there are a few that you should steer away from feeding. There are also parts of popular fruits that might poison your bunny. Luckily, most of the fruits you might grow or commonly find at the grocery store are perfect for your bunnies. We like to offer our rabbits fruit as a small part of their diet because it’s always a good idea to offer your livestock a variety of foods to meet their nutritional requirements. It’s also a lot of fun to watch them get excited at the possibility of treats. Fruits, in particular, are great training tools since rabbits love the natural sugars.

Having fruits during pregnancy is always considered healthy, but there are few fruits which when taken in larger amounts,harms both mother and developing fetus.1) Grape is one such fruit, while many doctors suggest not to have grapes during pregnancy, few doctors give green signal to having it in first two trimesters, as they provide nutritional benefits to both baby and mother, provided taken in little amounts. The major concern with grapes is, the fruit contains large amounts of a toxic compound called Resveratrol, this toxic compound is harmful for the expectant mother whose hormones are imbalanced. Experts also suggest to avoid grapes during third trimester as consuming grapes increases excessive heat in the expectant mother. It is better to avoid sour grapes, as sour grapes are acidic in nature, it may lead to nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues. Also, red and black grapes are said be avoided during pregnancy, as it contains thick skin, it is hard for a pregnant women to digest it fast."

One of the first steps toward integrated weed management is to identify the weeds present. While it isn’t necessary to identify every potential weedy plant in a yard or garden, focusing on the select few that are the most troublesome or occupying the largest area is worthwhile. The identification process is begun by placing the plant into one of two broad classifications: monocot or dicot (Fig. 10.3). Figure 10.3. Monocot (right) and dicot (left) plant classifications.

With the exception of extreme habitats, angiosperms populate every land biome and aquatic community. They are a major food source for animals and humans, and are a major economic source for the production of various commercial products. Flowering Plant Parts The parts of a flowering plant are characterized by two basic systems: a root system and a shoot system. The root system is typically below ground and serves to acquire nutrients and anchor the plant in the soil. The shoot system consists of the stems, leaves, and flowers. These two systems are connected by vascular tissue. Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem are composed of specialized plant cells that run from the root through the shoot. They transport water and nutrients throughout the plant."

"text": "\"Monocots are a class of angiosperm, or flowering plant, distinguished from dicots. The distinction was first established by botanist John Ray in 1682. Scientists today do not consider Ray’s description perfect, however monocots are still the most popularly known classification of angiosperms. The terms monocot and dicot are short for the longer names Monocotyledonae and Dicotyledonae, which refer to the number of cotyledons, or \"\"seed leaves,\"\" in the plant's embryo; one and two, respectively. Monocots are distinguished from dicots by their physical characteristics. In addition to having a single cotyledon in their embryo, they also feature pollen with a single furrow or pore, while dicot pollen has three furrows. Most of the other monocot features are easier for the casual observer to identify. Perhaps the simplest way to distinguish monocots from dicots is by counting flower parts. Petals, stamens, and so on tend to appear in multiples of three on monocots, while dicot flowers tend to have parts divisible by four or five. While this is sometimes the easiest way to figure out what type of angiosperm you are dealing with, it is not always reliable and may be difficult to determine in plants with elaborate flowers containing many parts."

"text": "\"Related Articles The Advantages of the Fibrous Root & Taproot Systems Shrubs With Shallow Root Systems Shallow-Root Perennials The Root System of a Tomato Plant The roots are the parts of a plant that absorb nutrients and moisture from the soil, and they grow in one of two basic forms. Most flowers, shrubs and trees produce taproots that can travel deep into the soil, while grasses and reedy plants develop fibrous root systems that grow close to the surface of the soil. Function and Form A plant's root system is what keeps it alive by extracting what it needs from the soil and moving it up through the vascular system to the stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. The new root, or radicle, is often the first part of a plant to emerge when a seed germinates. From that point, it makes its way into the soil where it also serves as an anchor and as storage for the sugars and starches the plant needs. A sprout bearing the plant's first false leaves, called a cotyledon, soon appears above the soil, and the number of cotyledons helps to determine in part what type of root system it will have. Plants with single cotyledons, such as grasses, are classified as monocots, while those that produce two or more cotyledons, such as most annual flowers, are dicots. Generally, monocots produce fibrous root systems that expand horizontally and grow close to the surface of the soil, while dicots produce taproots that grow vertically and sometimes deep into the soil. Taproots When a taproot emerges from a germinating seed, it plunges straight down into the soil. Carrots, radishes and beets are excellent examples of clearly identifiable modified taproots that continue to enlarge to become the edible parts of the plants."

Traditionally, angiosperms have been divided into monocots and dicots. Woody deciduous trees such as oak, elm, and maple are familiar examples of dicots. Grasses and palms are well known examples of monocots. Among angiosperms, dicots have a more extensive fossil record than monocots. One might expect this to be the case since today dicots outnumber monocots six to one. In addition to this fact, most monocots are herbaceous plants, which may not as readily fossilize as the woody dicots (Stewart & Rothwell, 1993, pp 487 & 488). The coastal states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are therefore special in that they possess late Eocene and Oligocene deposits in which the silicified remains of palm wood are common (Berry, 1916, p. 233). In fact,petrified palm wood or Palmoxylon is the state stone for Texas and the state fossil for Louisiana. The state stone for Mississippi is petrified wood and much of the fossil wood found in the state is Palmoxylon."

Defining Characteristics The term \"\"angiosperm\"\" derives from two Greek words: angeion, meaning \"\"vessel,\"\" and sperma, meaning \"\"seed.\"\" The angiosperms are those plants whose seeds develop within a surrounding layer of plant tissue, called the carpel, with seeds attached around the margins. This arrangement is easily seen by slicing into a tomato, for example. Collectively, carpels together with the style and stigma are termed the ovary, and these plus associated structures develop into the mature fruit. The enclosed seeds and the presence of carpels distinguish angiosperms from their closest living relatives, the gymnosperms , in which the seed is not enclosed within a fruit, but rather sits exposed to the environment. Some defining characteristics of angiosperms include flowers, carpels, and the presence of endosperm, a nutritive substance found in seeds, produced via a second fertilization event. However, some current studies suggest that endosperm is not unique to angiosperms. Angiosperm flowers are generically characterized by having four whorls, or sets of organs: sepals , petals, stamens, and carpels. The carpels may be united or fused to form a compound pistil , and the number of stigma lobes may then be indicative of the number of carpels."

In this lesson, you'll learn how to identify a dicot and explore some common examples. Classification and Definition Ecologically speaking, dicots may be the most important plants on Earth. For example, all the major trees in our forests are dicots. Fruit-bearing bushes and vines are also dicots, which give us things like grapes and raspberries. Without dicots, we wouldn't be able to make paper, produce building materials or have a wine industry!In studying dicots, we must first learn how to categorize them. Plants and trees are classified according to whether or not they produce flowers. There are two major classes of flowering plants, which are based upon their physical form and the number of seed leaves present when they begin to grow. If a plant has a 1-seed leaf, or cotyledon, we call it a monocotyledon, or monocot for short. If a plant has 2-seed leaves, we call it a dicotyledon, or dicot for short."

Flag What selective advantages might be associated with the differences in the vegetative structure of dicots and monocots? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The vascular system of dicots might be advantageous compared to the ancestral condition because it allows for greater pathways for the resources to flow through both threw larger systems with in the stem and the net like system in the leaves. Additionally, the larger bundling of the vascular tissue in the stem may allow for greater support to withstand the water potential within the vascular system, much like how thicker walls of a balloon could withstand greater volumes of air before popping. The presence of two cotyledons could provide the advantage of having more surface available for immediate photosynthesis where as the monocot has to expend more resources if it wants the same surface area. As far as advantages to number of petals or root systems you've got me stumped.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Monocots vs Dicots Explained Do you remember learning the difference between monocots and dicots in school? Do you even remember why that’s important? First, understand that monocots and dicots actually represent the two main branches of flowering plants. That means that almost all flowering plants can be divided into one of these two groups. Of course, the key word is almost. There are some that don’t fit into either group all that well. Start by watching our video short on the differences between the two groups. ) The five main characters I like to use are Leaves, Roots, Stems, Cotyledons, and Flowers. Flowers Monocots tend to have flower parts in multiples of 3. Dicots tend to have flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5."

"text": "Flowers are classified as either monocot or dicot. Both types produce some sort of flower, although not all are big or beautiful. A general rule to determine whether a plant or flower is monocot or dicot is to count the flower petals, stamens or other flower parts. If they are divisible by three or six, then they are monocots. They have strap-shaped leaves, stem vascular arrangement or vascular bundles, and look scattered when you cut the stem open. Most of the bundles are toward the stem periphery, not in the middle. If the flower parts are in multiples of four or five then they are dicots. The leaves have numerous auxiliary veins, which reticulate between major veins. Stem vascular arrangement are numerous inside the stem. If you cut the stem open, it will look like a ring of spots.credit: Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images Telling the difference between monocots and dicots."

"text": "Home »Flowers Types of Monocot Flowers By Sharon Sweeny; Updated September 21, 2017Flowering plants, including trees and shrubs, are divided into two groups: monocot and dicot. This distinction is based in part on the number of flower petals, stamens and the growth pattern of the leaf veins. Monocot flowers have flowers with three petals or in multiples of three. The stamens of monocot flowers also appear in multiples of three. The leaf veins of monocot flowers, similar to grass (which also belongs to the monocot group), contain a central vein that is parallel to the leaf margins. If more than one leaf vein is present, they will grow parallel to each other. By contrast, leaves of dicot flowers contain a netlike structure of veins within their leaves, similar to the leaves on most deciduous trees, which are classified as dicots. Orchids One of the largest and most diverse genuses of flowering plants, orchids (Orchis spp.) are classified as monocots due to their number of flower petals. Monocots have either three flower petals or multiples of three petals, and their elongated leaves contain parallel veins."
