"text": "5. Pests and Diseases of Hibiscus by F. D. Hockings Hibiscus are attacked by a number of pests and diseases. Some are not very important but others require treatment to prevent the leaves and flowers from being destroyed. Correct diagnosis of problems is of utmost importance because fungicides are effective against fungal diseases only and pesticides are even more specific. Each pesticide is effective against only a particular class or group of pest. If you use the wrong chemical you are wasting your time and money and your plants will continue to be damaged. Always read the label on garden chemicals. Be aware of what the actual chemical is (the active ingredient) and not just the trade name. Carefully follow the recommended dilution rate stated on the label; too weak may not control the problem and too strong may harm the plants or more importantly you. Metricated measuring receptacles are inexpensive, so do not guess quantities."

"text": "\"James A. Schaffer Department of Agronomy Einar Palm Department of Plant Pathology Ralph E. Munson Department of Entomology Barley production in Missouri usually increases following a drought. Livestock producers need feed if corn supplies are low or need pasture if grass is not recovered. As a feed grain, barley is considered to have 95 percent of the feed value of corn. Barley acreage has not been estimated by the Crop Reporting Service since 1977, but estimates range from 5,000 to 20,000 acres each year. Barley is used in the malting industry as well as for livestock feed. However, attempts to produce barley for malting in Missouri have failed because malting barley requires bright sunshine with little disease during grain filling — a condition most often found in more arid regions of the United States. Winter and spring barleys are available, but testing in Missouri indicates spring barley does poorly. If you want to plant a spring crop, spring oats are the best choice. Therefore, this publication does not cover spring barley. Two types of winter barley — two-row or six-row — are available."

"text": "Chapter VI: Insect Management James Robinson Insects are a major limiting factor in commercial vegetable production. Minor insect damage lowers the crop’s value because the market demands clean, unblemished produce. Growers need to quickly recognize insect problems and practice early control to prevent a buildup and keep insect pests from getting out of control. Insect Life Cycle Insects either have a complete or incomplete life cycle. Insects in the complete life cycle group have four distinct stages, the egg, larvae, pupae and adult. Examples of these insects are beetles and moths. Beetles lay their eggs either singly or in groups, and they hatch into either grubs or larvae that move about freely on the plant feeding on roots, tubers, leaves, or fruits. After reaching maturity, they then pupate (the resting stage) and develop into adults. Adult beetles also may damage plant parts, so two damaging stages may exist. Figure VI-1 depicts growth stages for insects having a complete life cycle."

"text": "Media Melanoplus differentialis Trusted© James Steamer Source: i Naturalist.org See all media See all maps Brief Summary Read full entry Learn more about this article The differential grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis, is a species of grasshopper found throughout northern Mexico, central United States and southern Ontario, Canada. Within its range M. differentialis is most often found in heavily weeded areas and grasslands; they can be spotted in vacant lots and other urban areas. The differential grasshopper is not migratory but can travel within a few miles to search for food. Adult males grow to 28–37 mm and females grow to 34–50 mm. They are brownish or greenish and as they age the color will darken. Some nymphs can be bright yellow. There is only one generation a year which occurs in early summer. Once they hatch the nymphs take around 32 days to become complete adults. Adults are most active during the summer while the larvae are active in the spring. It is polyphagous, eating both grasses and forbs but experiments have shown that they grow faster if fed forbs."

Some examples include spiders, snakes, peccaries, rodents, and other scorpions. Development, pesticides and collecting scorpions for research or the pet trade also reduces the bark scorpion population. The painful and potentially deadly venom of bark scorpions has little effect on grasshopper mice. Scientists have found the scorpion toxin acts as an analgesic rather than a pain stimulant in grasshopper mice. ["

In fact, in areas such as Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, China, and many other places, you will find that eating bugs is a regular and common thing to do. So what keeps you from doing what they consider the “norm\"\" too? It has been thought that it could be put down to culture. Bugs are associated as being pests instead of as food, however given the amount of insects thriving in the world, perhaps reconsidering your aversion to “bugs\"\" and “food\"\" in the same sentence might be a good idea.

Answer by Fwmh Confidence votes 110KA thin-walled storage sac that is led from a short esophagus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grasshoppers slice up plants as food and their digestive system is designed to deal with it. It starts with the Mouth which pulls food into the body, the behind the mouth comes the Pharynx and Its muscles push food down the Esophagus which is a tube running to the Crop. The Crop is a holding spot before the Gizzard which helps grind and digest food. From the Gizzard food passes into the Gastric Ceca which is used to help hold and digest food by secreting digestive enzymes into the Stomach where food sits before it passes into the Intestine, a tube running from the Stomach to the Rectum which stores digested food before excreting it through the Anus.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Grasshopper Management PDF (407K) Agri-News This Week Grasshopper description | Significant species | Grasshopper control Grasshoppers are a major pest of both cultivated crops and rangeland grasses in the world's semi-arid regions. Areas receiving less than 750 mm of precipitation in the form of rain or snow are particularly susceptible. Traditionally drier areas like southern Alberta are more prone to recurring problems, but serious grasshopper infestations can occur in cropland throughout the province. Although the majority of grasshopper damage has been to cereal grains, other crops can be seriously affected. In a more diversified agricultural landscape where cereal crops are often rotated with other cultivars such as canola, lentil and peas, grasshoppers continue to cause significant economic loss in Alberta. Grasshoppers eat 30 to 100 mg of plant material (dry weight) each day. Forage losses are seldom estimated, but it has been shown that even a moderate infestation of 10 grasshoppers/square metre can typically consume up to 60 per cent of the available forage, depending on the condition of the forage stand. The insects can also consume ALL of the cereal crops, but they usually work the outer edges of fields. The type and extent of crop damage will depend on the type of crop, how well the crop is growing, the number of grasshoppers present, and whether or not adequate cultural and chemical controls are used. Grasshopper Description The name \"\"grasshopper\"\" has been given to a very large and diverse group of insects."

Both are watered weekly and fertilized every year. Does the sick-looking one have a disease? ANSWER: Spring leaf drop often makes magnolias look sick. Each tree is a little different and may shed a few - or perhaps lots - of leaves. If the new growth looks good, the tree is healthy and doing what nature intended. Many gardeners get worried when older magnolia leaves turn yellow and curl as spring growth begins. Some trees may be almost barren for a week or two until the flush of new growth fills the branches. To make matters worse, no two years of leaf drop will be the same. By early summer both trees will again look alike."

Some species, in fact, are beneficial. Hypochlora alba, for example, is closely associated with Artemesia ludoviciana (Louisiana sagewort), an undesirable perennial forb. Species of the genus Hesperotettix also feed on undesirable forbs and shrubs and Melanoplus packardii feeds on thistles. Grasshoppers can generally be divided into three groups based on their feeding habits which is dictated by their mandibular types. These are grass feeders, mixed feeders and forb feeders. Generally, several species of mixed feeders and a few grass feeding species are the ones that will increase in numbers to the point that they may become an economic infestation. Identification (and Life Cycle/Seasonal History)Rangeland grasshopper identification, while not easy, can be accomplished by anyone with some knowledge of insects with the aid of Dr. Robert Pfadt's pictorial key (Pfadt, 1994).

In some areas, cicadas are even known colloquially as locusts, or 13- or 17-year locusts. Despite their apparent similarity and the confusion surrounding the name, cicadas and locusts are entirely different animals. Cicadas are from the order Homoptera, which they share with plant lice and leaf hoppers. There are over 2,500 different species of cicadas that live on every continent except for Antartica, and they reproduce in cycles, whereby certain generations re-emerge after periods of 2, 5, or even 17 years (which is why the term 17-year locust exists). Locusts, however, are grasshoppers that have become more hive-like in behavior and joined a swarm. Thus, the term describes not a species, but a phase or state of grasshopper. There are 11,000 different species of grasshoppers, which are in the order Orthoptera, along with crickets and katydids. To be more specific, they generally fall into the family Acrididae (like rainbow grasshoppers and horse lubbers).

Like true insects they have 3 pairs of legs, the hind legs being the largest and are used for jumping. They have two pairs of wings, the outer pair being harder and used to control flight, while the lower pair are more membranous and are used for flight. Locusts normally solitary, but become gregarious under favourable conditions and will swarm.

Potato bugs are usually found in burrows, which they make in the soil under wood piles, boards, leaf litter, rocks, and piles of trash. A grassy pasture area also provides good habitat. This insect is nocturnal in habit, so is not often seen, unless you disturb their burrow or catch one crawling about in the evening or early morning. Their normal diet is plant material such as fruit, vegetables, grass roots, earthworms, and any small insect they can catch. They make good pets for a terrarium and will survive nicely on bits of fruit, vegetables, and any kind of meat. They are somewhat scary looking and will rise up on their hind legs and jump at whatever disturbs or annoys them. They can also make a sound like sandpaper rubbed together.

"text": "\"How to Manage Pests UC Pest Management Guidelines| All citrus pests | All crops | About guidelines |Citrus Selectivity of Insecticides and Miticides (Reviewed 2/17, updated 2/17 )In this Guideline: Publication Glossary Some pesticides are less toxic than others to natural enemies such as green lacewings, lady beetles, parasitic wasps, beneficial mites, and predatory bugs. When an insecticide causes less harm to the natural enemies than the pests, it is a selective insecticide. Insecticides that are not selective, or kill a wide range of insects including natural enemies, are called broad-spectrum. Examples of broad-spectrum pesticides include most organophosphate (e.g., malathion, dimethoate), carbamate (e.g., carbaryl–Sevin, methomyl–Lannate), pyrethroids (e.g., beta-cyfluthrin–Baythroid, fenpropathrin–Danitol), and neonicotinoid (imidacloprid–Admire, acetamiprid–Assail) insecticides. To reduce some of the detrimental effects on natural enemies, use broad-spectrum insecticides in a selective manner (e.g. in baits, spot treatments, at times of the year when natural enemies are not active, or applied systemically through irrigation water). Within each of the major groups of pests in citrus, there are selective and broad-spectrum pesticides that can be used to control them. For instance, lepidopterous pests, such as fruittree leafroller and citrus cutworm, can be controlled with broad-spectrum organophosphate and carbamate insecticides (chlorpyrifos–Lorsban and methomyl–Lannate) or with selective Bacillus thuringiensis microbial insecticides (Javelin, Dipel, etc.) or the stomach poison cryolite (Prokil Cryolite and Kryocide). Finally, armored scale can be controlled with broad-spectrum organophosphate and carbamate insecticides (chlorpyrifos–Lorsban and carbaryl–Sevin), selective narrow range oils, selective insect growth regulators (pyriproxyfen-Esteem, buprofezin-Centaur), spirotetramat (Movento), or by releases of Aphytis parasites. Botanical, microbial and oil insecticides are not disruptive to most natural enemies because of their limited persistence."

J. — Casino dealers at Bally’s Atlantic City voted emphatically in favor of forming a union Sunday in what both sides considered a pivotal vote in the unionization effort at the resort city’s 11 casinos. The vote by full- and part-time dealers, dual-rate dealers, keno and simulcast employees was 628-255 in favor of becoming part of the United Auto Workers union. “This strong majority vote is another great victory for casino dealers in Atlantic City,” said Joe Ashton, director of UAW Region 9.“We’re proud to have been able to support these workers secure a voice on the job, and we look forward to bargaining a contract that will address pay, benefits, job security and other issues of concern for casino dealers. ”The Bally’s vote followed unsuccessful drives to unionize at Trump Marina Hotel Casino and the Atlantic City Hilton. Before that, in March, dealers at Caesars Atlantic City and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino voted to join the UAW. The union already represents dealers at three Detroit gambling halls: MGM Grand Detroit Casino, Motor City Casino and Greektown Casino. “We are terribly disappointed that our dealers chose to hire the services of the Detroit-based union,” said Carlos Tolosa, president of the Eastern Division of Harrah’s Entertainment Inc., which operates Bally’s Atlantic City. Many of Atlantic City’s 45,000 casino workers here already are represented by unions, including many service employees. But until this year, dealers were not among them.

A promotional video describes Jack as “that friend that got you to do things you knew you probably shouldn’t do. ”At least one branding expert thinks the new name will be a hit. “Greektown as an image for the casino was kind of old and tired,” said Robert Kolt, an instructor in the advertising and public relations department at Michigan State University. “ Any rebranding effort is going to be a good investment. Every so often you want to put a fresh coat of paint on the house, and that’s what they’re doing. ”The Greektown name has been emblazoned on the building in the Detroit historic neighborhood since the casino’s opening in 2000."

Every dealer, from the low roller joints to the Bellagio, makes minimum wage (or barely more) from the casino itself. Dealers, cocktail waitresses, cabbies, and bellhops depend on your support for their livelihood. Tipping isn't a reward for good service, it's the normal way that poorly-paid workers are supposed to be able to make a decent wage. Think of tipping as part of the cost of your entertainment while you're in Vegas. And proper tipping isn't expensive, either. When you add it up you'll see that the money you spend on even proper tips will likely be a small, small fraction of all the money you'll spend on your whole trip. Why we tip in the first place Many people think that we tip to reward good service, but that's not it at all."

"text": "\"Foxwoods: 25 Years Of Ups And Downs Since Bingo Hall First Opened July 07, 2011 | By JANICE PODSADA, [email protected], The Hartford Courant On a quiet road in southeastern Connecticut 25 years ago this week, \"\"Mashantucket Pequot Indian High Stakes Bingo\"\" opened as a 1,200-seat bingo hall with 50 employees. The hall was open Thursday through Sunday, \"\"one session a day,\"\" Michael Holder recalled. \"\" That was our schedule for the first six years,\"\" said Holder, a former Electric Boat employee who was offered the position as the hall's operations manager more than 25 years ago. Today he's vice president of bingo operations. That 35,000-square-foot bingo hall, about the size of a small supermarket, was the beginning of an empire that would become Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods, a sprawling complex that offers a full house of entertainment: table games, slot machines, restaurants, shops and concerts. PHOTOS: Foxwoods Casino Through The Years Foxwoods grew dramatically into the past decade, peaking at more than 13,000 employees in 2001 through 2004. And it had the huge MGM Grand expansion just before the recession, which led to a crisis with its $2 billion in debt. It's still the largest Native American resort casino in North America, and recently has shown signs of stabilizing. But competition is growing. Massachusetts, for one, is debating legalizing casino gambling there."

Toronto’s favourite street festival is a weekend event that runs for 3 days and celebrates the fun and flavours of Greece. The Greater Toronto Area lays claim to more than 200,000 residents of Greek ancestry, the third largest Hellenic community outside of Greece. The Taste of the Danforth festival is in the heart of Toronto’s Greek Town, and attracts hungry mouths from all over the world for this renowned street festival. They come for the food, the entertainment, the atmosphere, and to be Greek for the weekend!While the festival is running, Danforth Avenue between Broadview and Jones is closed to traffic, where over 15 blocks and over 2.5km of food, fun, entertainment and unique experiences are offered. Thousands of people walk the streets of Greektown where several restaurants setup cooking stations and patios outside. The Taste of the Danforth offers quality food at cheap prices, musical performances, dancers and several other forms of fun and entertainment while you walk up and down the streets enjoying the summer weather. The Taste of the Danforth was modeled after Chicago’s street festival, The Taste of Chicago. The festival first started in 1994 where it drew an attendance of 5000 people. In 1995, the festival jumped to 100,000 attendees and by 1996 the Taste of the Danforth was so large that the Danforth street had to officially close for the festival to accommodate over 500,000 visitors!About Greektown Greek Town is located roughly between Chester and Jones Ave on Danforth Ave."

In my world of toddler chasing and baby feedings, this means planning a date night every once in a while. This past weekend, my husband and I were able to go out on a date. We didn’t do anything too crazy, but we had so much fun. It was nice just chatting with him, eating an amazing meal {while hot!} and holding each other’s hands like we did prior to needing to hold our children’s hands instead. I thought it would be fun to create another big list — this time focusing on 50+ date ideas in Southeast Michigan."

"text": "\"Slots - Payback Percentages Is there a particular time of the day or night that's better to play slots and a time that's best to avoid? Mary from San Gabriel, California No, the odds are the same regardless of the time of day. Which are the best slots to play and is it better to play three coins all the time or rotate from 2-3 coins. Gary from Geulph, Canada Most slot machines usually offer an incentive to play the maximum coins. For example two coins may pay 2,000 on the jackpot but three coins will pay 5,000. So if there an economy of scale incentive, then the return is higher with a max-coin bet. However, I should mention that most casinos tend to increase the theoretical return on their slots as they go up in denomination. So, you may be better off betting one coin on a $1 machine than four coins on a quarter machine. My advice on slot selection is to play a simple smaller game. Nothing with fancy signage or a huge screen."

The track is the home of the Ohio Derby, the only graded stakes race in Ohio. The track races under the Ohio 7/7 Program which means that live racing is held at two locations in the state at the same time. During the summer Thistle Down races seven races on a card and Belterra Park Gaming & Entertainment Center races the other seven. In September, Beulah Park takes over for Belterra Park. Ohio racing is dark January to March. The track declined in recent years due to summertime competition and the lack of slot machines that neighboring tracks have. In 2007, Thistle Down's parent company, Magna Entertainment, announced that the racetrack was for sale."

"text": "Greektown, a Chicago Neighborhood Visitor Guide from Chicago Traveler Chicagotraveler Information Map Greektown Feature Greektown Business Directory Greektown Map Greektown, a Chicago Neighborhood Guideby Zahra Ink - Chicago Writing Services History Greektown Colloseum Chicago ILThe first Greeks to inhabit Chicago came by ship in the 1840’s. They worked hard to establish themselves upon landing in Chicago and eventually many of them became restaurant owners. This fledgling community was originally concentrated around Harrison, Blue Island and Halsted. Since the majority of this population was Greek, the area quickly became known as Greektown. In the 1960’s Chicago saw development on the West Side; the Eisenhower Expressway was built, as well as the University of Illinois at Chicago. Thus the Greek community was forced to relocate a few blocks away. They settled in what is now known as modern Greektown. Although the Greek community was established by this time, it wasn’t until the first gyros in America were made in Greektown in 1968 that the Greeks began to have notoriety in Chicago. The instant gyros were introduced, they became wildly popular. Using this success as a starting point, Chicago’s Greek community began to celebrate its heritage more boldly."

"text": "November 26, 2013Bluhm faces union fight at Rivers Casino Comments Email Print By Micah Maidenberg SHAREFacebook Twitter Linked In Google + 0Rivers Casino in Des Plaines. Photo by Stephen J. Serio Billionaire real estate investor and gambling entrepreneur Neil Bluhm has a new game to play at the Rivers Casino: a union-organizing drive. Unite Here Local 1 has launched an effort to enlist members at the Des Plaines gambling palace, according to Karen Kent, president of the local, which represents about 15,000 hotel and hospitality workers in the Chicago area. The casino, which features a nearly 44,000-square-foot gaming area, opened in 2011 to much fanfare. It has emerged as the most lucrative casino in the state, raking in $352.6 million in gaming receipts during the first 10 months of 2013, virtually unchanged compared with the same period in 2012, according to Illinois Gaming Board data. Ms. Kent declined to say how many of the casino's 1,443 employees Unite Here is trying to unionize. The union effort here brings to Mr. Bluhm's own backyard a labor battle that's been simmering at two other gaming establishments he controls: the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh and the Sugar House Casino in Philadelphia. UNFAIR-LABOR-PRACTICE CHARGES FILEDAs part of its organizing drive in Des Plaines, Local 1 last week filed 31 unfair-labor-practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board against Midwest Gaming & Entertainment LLC, which owns the casino. Among other claims, the charges allege that Rivers management is intimidating workers in violation of federal labor law. In one example, a manager criticized the union at an employees' meeting about a month ago, threatening to pull benefits from workers if they supported the organizing campaign, according to Rosaura Villanueva, a dishwasher who supports the organizing effort."

The almost entirely edible beetroot, or table beet, is a member of the vegetable food group. More specifically, it’s a root vegetable from the botanical family Chenopodiaceae, other members of which include sugar beets, spinach, Swiss chard and quinoa. Historically, beets were cultivated for their edible leaves, or greens, while the beet itself was primarily used medicinally or as livestock feed, according to the book “Wellness Foods A to Z.” After trimming away the thin, trailing roots that extend off the root bulb, the entire plant is edible — beets, stems and greens. Each part has a distinct nutritional profile, with the greens providing the highest concentration of nutrients per calorie. Food Groups Fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods and dairy products are the five main food groups. Each group is broken down into subgroups to further classify the different types of food it contains. The vegetable group includes subgroups for dark green, starchy and red and orange vegetables."

"text": "Healthy Eating Tips Consider A Lean and Green Dinner for Fat Loss By Marc Perry / July 1, 2017 / Medically Reviewed I want to tell you about a nutrition strategy I use that can be very effective for losing fat. It’s also simple, straight forward, and I call it “Lean and Green”. What I mean by Lean and Green is that dinner is comprised of lean meats, vegetables (they don’t all have to be green), and healthy fats. Grains, processed carbs, and beans (starchy carbs in general) are not eaten. It’s basically how we as humans used to eat 10,000 years ago before the advent of agriculture. And yes, we were lean, mean, fighting machines back then. Do you need to avoid starchy carbs to lose fat? Absolutely, not, but doing so can help limit calorie intake. Here are some examples of Lean and Green meals:• Big salad with vegetables (basically any vegetable of your choice, you can get creative), grilled chicken (or any lean meat of your choice), and dressing (just be mindful 1 tablespoon of olive oil has 110 calories, and a couple tablespoons of the average dressing has around 100 calories).• Salmon with string beans and asparagus• Top Sirloin steak (preferably grass fed, has 1/3 the saturated fat) with spinach I know your mouth is starting to water right now…ok, maybe it’s not, but I think you can develop an appreciation for going Lean and Green, especially when you start seeing the inches coming off. My favorite Lean and Green meal is definitely salad with veggies and a lot of lean meat."

"text": "List of Foods and Points in Weight Watchersby FAITH WATSON July 18, 2017Diet fads come and go, but Weight Watchers has been helping people lose weight for more than 50 years. The program uses a points system to help you make healthy food choices and control calories for weight loss, which still allows you to eat what you like. Weight Watchers is continually updating their diet based on the latest scientific research, and in December 2015, the plan changed from Points Plus to Smart Points based on the most current data for safe, healthy weight loss. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your diet. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Smart Points versus Points Plus The Weight Watchers Points Plus system includes protein and fiber to calculate points, while Smart Points includes calories, protein, saturated fat and sugars to calculate points. The protein content of a food lowers the number, and sugar and saturated fat increase the number. The goal of the new Smart Points plan is to help dieters eat more lean protein, fruits and vegetables and less sugar and saturated fat. Weight Watchers notes that protein and fiber help make you feel full longer, which is one of the reasons for the focus in both Points Plus and Smart Points. Weight Watchers 0 Point Foods Like Points Plus, almost all fresh fruits and most fresh vegetables have 0 points on the Smart Points plan. So no-point selections include apples, bananas, oranges, melon and berries, along with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, carrots, celery, green beans, asparagus and Brussels sprouts."

A healthy diabetes diet focuses on nutrient-rich foods such as fruit, non-starchy vegetables, legumes, whole grains, lean sources of protein and reduced-fat dairy products. Following a proper diabetes diet can help stabilize your blood glucose levels, as well as improve your cholesterol, blood pressure and weight. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Breakfast According to the American Diabetes Association, your breakfast meals should include a specific balance of one-half starchy foods, one-quarter fruit and one-quarter protein. Good breakfast options for your 7 day menu include a homemade pancake made from non-fat milk and 100 percent whole wheat flour or buckwheat flour, topped with fresh berries. Another option is a slice of whole grain toast topped with a ripe mashed banana and sprinkled with raw, unsweetened, unsalted walnuts, while a third option is a small homemade bran muffin cut in half and spread with a thin layer of peanut or almond butter, along with a piece of fresh fruit. On day four, try a breakfast sandwich with egg, lean ham and low-fat cheese on a whole wheat English muffin. A fifth option includes French toast topped with cottage cheese and strawberries. You could also try a fruit smoothie made with non-fat milk and served with a homemade bran muffin or a bowl of bran cereal with non-fat milk, banana slices and unsalted walnuts.

"text": "Starchy Vegetables vs. Non-Starchy Vegetables There're two types of vegetables according to their carbohydrate content: the starchy and the non-starchy vegetables. Here provides you the list of them both. Vegetables are beneficial for the human body in many ways due to their rich content of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and many others. Vegetables can be divided into two different categories: starchy vegetables and non-starchy vegetables. What Are Starchy Vegetables? Starchy vegetables are high-carbohydrate plant foods that contain a rich energy source for man. Starch is a carbohydrate formed from the bonding of several glucose units, and is the most common form of stored energy from plants that is present in the human diet. Green plants produce starch and many staple foods like potatoes, rice, and corn contain large amounts of this organic compound. Starch in vegetables are digested primarily by gastric amylase, an enzyme found in the gastrointestinal tract, and the digested starch is then stored in the cells to be used as energy. When eaten in large amounts, starchy vegetables can contribute to weight gain, because the stored energy which is not burned through exercise will be converted or transformed into fat, another form of stored energy."

Vegetables deliver ample amounts of vitamins including folate, vitamin A, K and vitamin B6, as well as carotenoids like beta-carotene from carrots, lycopene from tomatoes, zeaxanthin from green veggies, and lutein from spinach and collard greens. Salad greens are packed with important nutrients and phytochemicals that support the maximum benefit to our day to day vegetable requirement. Antioxidants According to a recent study, plant-based foods contain antioxidants (polyphenols) that may improve blood sugar in people at risk for diabetes and heart diseases. Vegetables have abundant levels of antioxidants that prevent cardiovascular problems and the growth of cancerous cells."

"text": "\"Good Carb Bad Carb: The Truth About Carbohydrates Is one carbohydrate truly better than another? With multiple media messages circulating about sugar, complex carbohydrates, fiber, low carb diets, and how sugar and bad carbs are making us fat and insulin resistant, it is hard to know the real truth behind carbohydrates. When I first decided to address this topic, I thought the answer would be simple if I relied solely on conventional wisdom. However, after much research and thought, the road that leads to the answer is anything but simple. Carbohydrates: To even begin this discussion you must first have a good understanding of what carbohydrates actually are. Many people tell me, \"\"I have been cutting my carbs to lose weight\"\" but in fact they are cutting out breads, rice and pasta and eating plenty of milk, vegetables and fruit, unaware that those items also contain carbohydrates. So, what does the carbohydrate group include? Below is a rough breakdown of the carbohydrate group: Starch such as bread, pasta, rice, cereal grains and starchy vegetables such as potatoes (white and sweet), beans and peas Fruit and fruit juices Non-starchy vegetables and vegetable juices such as spinach, carrots, tomatoes, onions, and eggplant Milk and milk-type products such as milk, yogurt, pudding, soy milk and rice milk Sweets and other carbohydrates including a variety of items with added sugars including baked goods, regular soft drinks, syrups, jellies, and even some condiments such as barbecue sauce, salad dressings and ketchup With that being said, what is recommended by National Academies Institute of Medicine is that adults, to prevent chronic disease, should consume 45% to 65% of their calories from carbohydrates, 20% to 35% from fat, and 10% to 35% from protein. With approximately half of your diet containing, carbohydrates it is no wonder that carbohydrates are a hot topic at the forefront of discussions concerning weight control, development of diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. The Claims: People have been studying carbohydrates in all of its forms for the past century."

"text": "\"Diabetes is one of the most prevalent health issues that people in our country suffer from. It’s the seventh leading cause of death, affecting millions of people in this country daily. In 2012, 86 million Americans age 20 and above were diagnosed with prediabetes, which was 7 million more than we saw in 2010. In 2012, 29.1 million Americans were diagnosed and in 2010, that number was 25.8 million. What’s worse is that over 18,000 of those cases were in youth under the age of 20 years old!Clearly, we have a serious problem here. The Real Question At Hand Could it be that this is just by coincidence, or could the problem with diabetes have something to do with the way our food system has changed over the years? Since sugar is in just about everything and processed, fatty foods make up a large portion of Americans’ diets, clearly, the increase of diabetes has nothing to do with our country just magically becoming unhealthy. Our food industry is feeding us lies about what’s healthy and what’s not, and while our government has made significant changes to school lunch room menus, providing us with calorie counts on fast food and restaurant menus, and even banning soda in some cities, we still have a long way to go. Why would food manufacturers put sugar and toxic fats into our food considering they have no nutritional value whatsoever, if not to make us addicted to them to increase profit? These foods trigger opiates in the brain, much like the protein found in milk known as casein."

For people with diabetes, the more vegetables you can eat, the better. Vegetables are full of lots of the good stuff your body needs, such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and even fiber. Many vegetables are also low in calories and carbs, which is a must-have for people with diabetes. “The focus for diabetics should be on non-starchy vegetables instead of the starchy varieties, since starchy vegetables contain more grams of carbohydrate per serving,” said Sarah Hallenberger, lead dietitian at bistro MD. That means adding foods such as leafy greens, green beans, eggplant, mushrooms, or peppers to your diet when you can, instead of relying on foods such as corn, peas, and potatoes. That said, beans and lentils make an excellent choice for carbohydrates. This is because they’re very high in fiber, slow to digest, and have a mild impact on blood sugar compared to other carbohydrates. Here are five soups packed with enough veggies and flavor to share.

After eating one of those traditional American meals, you might experience bloating or feel gassy, dehydrated or tired. No wonder! They violate all the principles of food combining. If you eat proteins and starches together, they tend to neutralize each other and inhibit digestion. A meal might look healthy, but depending on the combination of foods you're eating, it may actually cause weight gain and digestive problems. You can read more about the Principle of Food Combining in The Body Ecology Diet. It's also packed with delicious recipes and sample menus. Many diet companies, like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, tell you to eat less and exercise more, with little regard to what you actually combine together in your stomach. What they don't know is that what happens in your stomach and digestive tract is important and can be the key to long-term health and weight loss!Many years ago, our ancestors worked hard at physical jobs and returned home each day to eat big meals of meat, breads, cheeses, and even sweets with no adverse effects."

But now a new book claims that most diabetics can get off medication and become 100 percent healthy in just a few easy steps. In “The End of Diabetes,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains how one can prevent and reverse diabetes and its related symptoms, while losing weight at the same time. Designed for anyone eager to enjoy a healthier and longer life, Fuhrman’s plan is simple: consume certain foods heavy in nutrients for improved health and to, ultimately, end diabetes and other diseases. We recently had the chance to ask Fuhrman a few questions about how a diabetes diet can prevent and reverse the disease. What are the absolute best five foods one can eat to reverse diabetes? The high-nutrient (nutritarian) diet I recommend is very high in fiber and low in glycemic load, which helps to keep blood glucose levels in the normal, healthy range. In addition, it floods the body with protective phytochemicals that fuel detoxification and self-repair mechanisms, healing the body from the inside out. The five most important foods for diabetes reversal are: Beans: Beans are the preferred starch source for diabetics -– my nutritarian eating style is unique in this regard. Low fat vegetarian diets focus on grains as a major calorie source, which are higher in glycemic load than beans, and low glycemic diets focus on animal products, which pose health risks."

They include kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), split peas and lentils. They are available in dry, canned, and frozen forms. These foods are excellent sources of plant protein, and also provide other nutrients such as iron and zinc. They are similar to meats, poultry, and fish in their contribution of these nutrients. Therefore, they are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. Many people consider beans and peas as vegetarian alternatives for meat. However, they are also considered part of the Vegetable Group because they are excellent sources of dietary fiber and nutrients such as folate and potassium. These nutrients, which are often low in the diet of many Americans, are also found in other vegetables. Because of their high nutrient content, consuming beans and peas is recommended for everyone, including people who also eat meat, poultry, and fish regularly."

An acidic p H can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic p H by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur. An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness."

After being successful in this shorter time period, then try it for the full 30 days. Your discipline will strengthen through practice and experience. Once you've experience how cleansing affects your physical body, you get why it's important to cleanse. The 30 day Mung Beans and Rice Diet as given in the Foods for Health & Healing book, Pg. 78 - Based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan This is a good cleansing diet which still gives you plenty of nourishment if you have to work hard.

Being treated for cancer is a consuming experience that can be draining, scary and lonely no matter how many caring people you have around you. It’s not a time for people to shower you with advice. My M. O. is to keep my opinions to myself, unless asked. One of my friends is losing too much weight and asked me to help him with his diet. This is for my friends and anyone out there who needs a little help with their diet right now. During chemo and radiation, your body is assaulted with free radicals, which damage DNA (cellular “blueprints” that contain vital instructions) and mitochondria (energy factories in your cells). Don’t add to the destruction by eating factory-produced food products, which are dead of nutrition, contain synthetic nutrients added in arbitrary amounts and are adulterated with hormones, chemicals, GMO residues and other toxins. Instead eat real, whole living food to provide your immune system with the materials to both neutralize free radicals and inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of cancers that already exist. Consume antioxidants in food to bulk up your arsenal of defense against free radical damage. ("

"text": "Are Beans Good for Weight Loss?by ERIN COLEMAN, R. D., L. D. July 18, 2017Beans are a welcome addition to weight-loss meal plans because they are packed with essential nutrients and help keep you feeling full for long periods of time. However, with the exception of green beans, which are not a legume like other beans, many beans are not necessarily low in calories. Eating them in moderation as part of a reduced-calorie meal plan will help you shed pounds. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Benefits of Beans Legumes, such as kidney, garbanzo, black, pinto and navy beans, are high in protein and fiber -- beneficial nutrients when you’re trying to shed pounds. Protein helps boost satiety and calorie expenditure, and fiber helps you feel full without the extra calories. Even though green beans are considered a vegetable and not a legume, they are still packed with fiber and contain just 44 calories per cup, notes the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. Cons of Beans Although legumes are protein- and fiber-rich, most are not low-calorie foods. The USDA National Nutrient Database reports that 1 cup of cooked pinto beans contains 245 calories in just 1 cup. The majority of these calories are from carbohydrates, which are essential nutrients but can lead to weight gain when consumed in excess. However, beans -- even starchy beans -- can help you lose weight when eaten in recommended portions."

Why am I hearing so much about the importance of water and fiber for a healthy diet? Where does all this talk about cholesterol, salt, sugar, caffeine, and food additives fit in? Introduction Food provides the body with the materials it needs for energy, growth, repair, and reproduction. These materials are called nutrients. Nutritionists divide nutrients into two main groups: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients, so called because the body needs more of them, include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These are the foods our bodies use for energy and growth. Micronutrients, or nutrients required in only small amounts, include vitamins and minerals."

Because while your diet matters throughout the day, your post-workout meal might play the biggest role of all — take that, breakfast. See, your body stores glycogen and protein in its muscles. During a workout, your body first burns through the nutrients you ate pre-workout and moves on to the stored glycogen, burning it as energy. Then, after stepping off the treadmill, the protein in your muscles begins to drop and muscle fibers start breaking down.

"text": "Sinus Drainage Sinus drainage may be an annoying problem. But when you have chronic sinus drainage, it could mean that a sinus infection is the cause. Chronic Sinus Drainage Sinus drainage to some extent is a natural part of life. The cells that line the sinuses normally make mucus and fluid in order to protect it from drying out. The mucus and fluid pass through holes in the sinuses and end up in the back of the throat and in the nose. Most of the time, we swallow the mucus and it is no problem. If, however, the sinus drainage becomes severe and chronic, it can build up or drain out of the nose or back down the throat and can become irritating. There are several things that can cause sinus drainage to build up or become excessive: Sinus infection Bacterial infections Allergies Viral infections Fumes that are irritating You can get an increase in sinus drainage by eating spicy foods or by taking in an irritating smell through your nose. The glands in the nose that react to irritating chemicals increase the production of watery fluid that is a lot like saliva in terms of its texture. These glands do this in order to try and wash away the irritant chemical so inflammation doesn’t occur."

The sinuses are air-filled spaces within the bones of the face. They are located in the cheeks (maxillary), forehead (frontal) and around the eyes (ethmoidal). The sinuses are linked together, and connected to the nose and throat, via narrow channels called ostia. One function of the sinuses is to warm and moisten inhaled air before it reaches the lungs. The sinuses are also lined with cells that help prevent infection by producing mucus to trap particles of dirt and other pollutants that are breathed in. Causes of sinusitis Sinusitis is caused by too much mucus, or a swelling of the lining of the sinuses and nose, which can block the narrow channels. This can occur during a cold, or may be due to allergy (for example, hayfever) or irritation of the linings of the sinuses (for example, from chlorine in a swimming pool). Bacteria (germs) then grow inside the sinuses, causing pain, headache and sometimes fever. Mucus from infected sinuses can be yellow or green."

The sinuses produce mucus, which is a fluid that washes bacteria, viruses, fungi and other patches out of the air you breathe. Tiny hairs called cilia keep mucus out of your sinus cavities so it can drain out through your nasal passages. Sinusitis is the name given to any inflammation of the sinuses. This can be irritation, inflamed areas or infected areas. Any blockage of the sinus drainage can be caused by foreign particles or the swelling of the tissue that secretes the mucus.

Trace gases and aerosols make up the remaining 1% of air. The trace gases include the noble gases argon, neon, helium, krypton and xenon; hydrogen; and the greenhouse gases. The aerosols are solid or liquid particles having diameters in the region of 0.001 to 10 microns (millionth of a metre), and include dust, soot, sea salt crystals, spores, bacteria, viruses and a plethora of other microscopic particles, which may be natural or man-made. Earth maintains an atmosphere through its gravitational pull. Consequently, most air is found in the lowest 10 kilometres of the atmosphere. Experienced mountain climbers are aware of how thin the air becomes, and may carry oxygen tanks to assist breathing at high altitudes. Within the lower atmosphere, however, air remains remarkably uniform in composition, as a result of efficient recycling processes and turbulent mixing in the atmosphere.

So let us look at some of the horrible effects of deforestation are: Does Deforestation Cause Global Warming Yes indeed, it is one of the biggest causes of global warming. How Does Deforestation Affect The Environment As you are well aware, humans and other living creatures on earth need oxygen to survive and they consume this oxygen from the air. Forests release oxygen in the air and inhale carbon dioxide through the process known as photosynthesis. When we chop down trees, oxygen level in the air decreases and creates unfavorable conditions for all living things to survive. Also as the trees are cut down and burned, the burning process emits carbon in the air that changes into carbon dioxide (when carbon reacts with oxygen in the air). Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides are called greenhouse gases."

Without air, the Earth would just be another lifeless rock orbiting the Sun. Although we are rarely aware of it, air surrounds us. We are most aware of air when it moves, creating wind. Like all gases, air takes up space. These gases that make up our air are packed closer together near the Earth's surface than at higher elevations. All living things need some of the gases in air for life support. In particular, all organisms rely on oxygen for respiration—even plants require oxygen to stay alive at night or when the Sun is obscured. Plants also require carbon dioxide in the air for photosynthesis."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What is the difference between the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect? ? 2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Damage to the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect are both caused by different things, and have different results. The greenhouse effect is caused by a build up of gases (notably carbon dioxide and methane, among others) in the atmosphere that prevent heat radiating from the planet's surface out into space. This means that gradually more heat is retained by the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The ozone layer is damaged by gases such as Chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) which thins the ozone layer, or causes it to disappear completely in places (over the poles, generally). The ozone layer prevents harmful ultra violet light from penetrating the atmosphere, so without it exposure to the sun leads to an increased risk of skin cancer, sunburn, etc. Mickey T · 9 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Ozone Layer And Greenhouse Effect Source (s):https://shorte.im/bav O0gregoreski · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The ozone layer protects us from some of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation by absorbing some of the UVB rays.

Our atmosphere is a complex mixture of many different gases. In this video lesson you will identify the major components of Earth's atmosphere as well as how much there is of each. Air Is a Mixture You may think that air is pretty simple, straightforward stuff. But this is far from true! Believe it or not, air is actually a mixture of different types of gas molecules. The components of air are important because they allow both plants and animals to breathe, trap heat on Earth (keeping it warm) and block harmful UV radiation from coming in through the atmosphere. However, these gases need to be present in just the right amount in order to do their jobs correctly. Atmospheric Components You may be surprised to learn that the most prominent gas in Earth's atmosphere is not oxygen."

S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2015: 1Carbon dioxide (CO2)—82.2%Methane (CH4)—10.0%Nitrous oxide (N2O)—5.1%Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen triflouride (NF3)—2.8%There are other greenhouse gases that are not counted in United States or international greenhouse gas inventories: Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas. Most scientists believe that water vapor produced directly by human activity contributes very little to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. Therefore, the U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) does not estimate emissions of water vapor. Research conducted by NASA suggests a stronger impact from the indirect human effects on water vapor concentrations in the atmosphere. Ozone is technically a greenhouse gas because it has an effect on global temperature. However, at higher elevations in the atmosphere (stratosphere), where it occurs naturally, ozone is needed to block harmful ultraviolet light. At lower elevations of the atmosphere (troposphere), ozone is harmful to human health and is a pollutant regulated independently of its warming effects. Greenhouse gases are transparent to incoming (short-wave) radiation from the sun but block infrared (long-wave) radiation from leaving the earth's atmosphere. This greenhouse effect traps radiation from the sun and warms the planet's surface."

Precisely on how burning of fossil fuels is affecting the Emperor penguin population. It's actually comical to me that prior to my high school career I actually had no interest in the environment whatsoever. I found environmental news casting and reports to be tedious; I was a prime example of my target audience. And not only that I was a prime example of what I'm trying to break us - Americans - out of - we need to be more mindful and cautious of our environment. Introduction Part#2 You're probably wondering what in god's name a fossil fuel is, don't worry when I asked my mom she actually thought it was a purse, but that's a subject for whole another conversation. A fossil fuel is ultimately a natural fuel such as coal or gas, like what we use to make the electricity that we use in our homes for cooking and for heating. It's formed from the remains of living organisms."

Does that mean it’s better for the environment than other butane torches, or better than any other fuel gasses, like propane? The “ozone friendly” claim is interesting. Does that mean it likes Ozone? Hmm. Maybe it means it doesn’t produce ozone as a combustion product. OK, but neither does burning any other of our usual fuel gasses, actually. Does it mean that it’s not producing fluorocarbon type gasses like Freon or other fluorocarbons that harm the ozone layer? Again, neither do other fuel gasses.

Air pollution refers to the release of pollutants into the air that are detrimental to human health and the planet as a whole. The Clean Air Act authorizes the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect public health by regulating the emissions of these harmful air pollutants. The NRDC has been a leading authority on this law since it was established in 1970. What Causes Air Pollution?“Most air pollution comes from energy use and production,” says John Walke, director of the Clean Air Project, part of the Climate and Clean Air program at NRDC. “ Burning fossil fuels releases gases and chemicals into the air.” And in an especially destructive feedback loop, air pollution not only contributes to climate change but is also exacerbated by it. “"

Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases all help trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere as a part of the greenhouse effect. The Earth's natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming. 1Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition levels. Global warming Greenhouse gas levels have been increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution, but over the last few decades growth has been particularly fast. Total greenhouse gas emissions have increased by about 80% since 1970, 2 creating a radiative forcing of 2838 m W/m^2 equivalent to an atmospheric concentration of 473 ppm CO2e. 3With increasing levels of greenhouse gases being added daily, the greenhouse effect is now enhanced to the point where too much heat is being kept in the Earth's atmosphere. The heat trapped by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases has increased surface temperatures by 0.75°C (1.4°F) over the last 100 years. 4Global warming is harming the environment in several ways including: Desertification Increased melting of snow and ice Sea level rise Stronger storms and extreme events Ocean Acidification Increases in carbon dioxide levels have made the world's oceans 30% more acidic since the Industrial Revolution."

"text": "What are the gases responsible for green house effect? Debjani Advertisements: The gaseous mantle around our globe allows a considerable portion of solar radiations to enter right upto the surface of earth which absorbs it and radiates back infra-red and heat waves. This heat is transferred to layers above, as warm layer rises and is in turn passed on to higher and higher layers. Finally much of the solar radiations are radiated back to space as infra-red and heat waves. The system consisting of our globe and its atmosphere is in a state of dynamic equilibrium with the rate of absorption of solar radiations and its emission back to space as infra-red and heat waves, nearly balancing each other. Those gases and vapours which allow free passage to radiations of relatively shorter wavelengths (2900 A - 7000 A) while absorbing effectively infra-red and heat waves (700 A onwards) play a very important role in maintaining surface temperatures within a range in which life can exist. They form a blanket around the globe which checks the passage of infra-red and heat waves from earth's crust back to space and keep it warm and hospitable. The phenomenon is similar to that of green-house in which the glass enclosed atmosphere gets heated up due to its insulation from the rest of the environment. Hence, global warming is also known as Green House effect and the gases responsible for it are called green house gases. ( 1) Causes of Global Warming: Very slow, almost imperceptible rise of about 4-5°C in the global temperatures has occurred in the past 20,000 years."

It is true that greenhouse gases cause global warming which, in the long run, threatens the existence of life on Earth. However, this is the case only when their concentration is enhanced, but these gases are also essential to survive on this planet. The greenhouse gases have a negative impact on our planet only when they are released in the atmosphere in more-than-normal proportions. More often than not, the reason for the same is human activities. What is Greenhouse Effect? When the Earth receives energy from the Sun, the surface absorbs 50% of it. The radiation absorbed by the atmosphere is radiated again in all directions; some part is radiated towards the space, whereas some is radiated back to the surface of the Earth. The radiation that is re-radiated towards the surface of the Earth is because of the presence of greenhouse gases. This is called greenhouse effect ― a natural phenomenon that helps in keeping the temperature at the surface warm and balanced, which is suitable for all organisms."

Full Answer Various greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are very important to Earth's atmosphere and climate. The sun warms the Earth, and these gases control the climate by trapping some of the heat and preventing it from escaping back into space. This continuous process between the heat of the sun, the natural gases in the atmosphere and the Earth is called the greenhouse effect.

The way it works is that basically certain 'greenhouse gases' can't escape from our atmosphere because they get trapped. CO2 is what plants need to create oxygen etc. But when there is too much CO2 being admitted into our environment from burning fossil fuels, cars etc, and we are cutting down trees for paper - it is imbalanced and now it has started to catch up with us. a.k.a global warming. Because these gases are trapped in our atmosphere, they have more time to collect heat from our atmosphere and the sun - thus making our climate increase in heat. This then triggers ice caps to melt and floods to occur and then one day we will face a world with no more fresh water and many extinct animals who cannot survive in warm climates.

Mac Lifetime Fat Loss Answers: You are right Mac, grits and corned beef are not on the lists. Since grits are made from corn and corn is on the high glycemic list, grits are high glycemic. Corned beef, however, is just salted beef and beef is low glycemic. All that salt though is not great to eat too often. If you are not pre-diabetic or diabetic, eating grits once in a while for breakfast, as long as you are following the portion control tips, shouldn't be a problem in managing your weight. I say this because it's far better to enjoy something occasionally that you love in the morning or at your noon day meal, even if it's high glycemic, especially if it's healthy food.

This decomposing process is the work of our digestive enzymes (more precisely, of alpha-amylases). Digestion of starch normally begins in the mouth where an enzyme, salivary amylase, is secreted, catalyzing the break up of the starch by hydrolysis. After a quick passage through our stomachs, additional breakdown of starch occurs in the small intestine with amylase secreted from the pancreas. Glycemia indicates glucose absorption rates, namely, the digestibility of certain starches. For further information on intestinal absorption physiology The Glycemic Index scale measures starch digestibility through comparison.

"text": "A few months ago I wrote about using the glycemic index (GI) ranking to manage weight and diabetes. Another measurement many use for weight and blood sugar management is Glycemic Load (GL). I was confused about the difference between these two systems so I spoke with registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, Weiner, who straightened me out. This information may help you too. ( Editor’s note: People with diabetes should speak to a qualified physician before starting a new diet. ) Q: What is glycemic load in very simple terms? Susan Weiner: Glycemic load is a ranking system for carbohydrate-rich food that measures the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food. Foods with a glycemic load (GL) under 10 are considered low-GL foods and have little impact on your blood sugar; between 10 and 20 moderate-GL foods with moderate impact on blood sugar, and above 20 high-GL foods that tend to cause blood sugar spikes. Q: How is glycemic load related to glycemic index? SW: The glycemic index indicates how rapidly a carbohydrate is digested and released as glucose (sugar) into the blood stream."

The low-glycemic diet is aimed at getting you to eat foods -- namely carbohydrate foods -- that take your body longer to digest and absorb, and this aids in hunger control. The low-glycemic diet does not require you to count calories or carbs but encourages you to eat more whole foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Glycemic Index 101Before you start your low-glycemic diet, it's important to understand a little more about the glycemic index, which is what the diet is based on. The GI is a system in which carbohydrate foods, such as bread, fruit and milk, are ranked on a scale of zero to 100 on how they affect blood sugar. Foods with a low GI, 55 or less, cause only a small, gradual rise in blood sugar, while foods with a high GI, 70 or more, cause more rapid fluctuations in blood sugar. Foods that fall in the middle are referred to as medium-GI foods and are considered OK to include on your low-GI diet. Low- and Medium-Glycemic Foods In general, low-GI foods are carbohydrates in their least processed form. For example, rolled oats are a low-GI food, while instant oats are a high-GI food. Other low-GI foods include 100 percent stone-ground whole-wheat bread, barley, most fruits, beans, sweet potatoes, lima beans, corn and nonstarchy vegetables such as broccoli and green beans."

Low-glycemic index foods (less than 55) produce a gradual rise in blood sugar levels that's easy on the body. Foods between 55 and 70 are intermediate-glycemic index foods.

Photo courtesy of Medical Daily Share this story Brent Koster has spent most of his life in Michigan State prisons. Being practically raised on prison food, he has seen the rise and fall of its quality as it’s moved from public to private food services. Koster is one of the roughly 30 kitchen workers, and from behind that food line he watches juvenile delinquents, no younger than he was when he entered the system, stand in uniform cafeteria lines waiting to be served. “I hate to admit it, but I have a number of years in, 43 years actually,” Koster, who was convicted of murder in 1973, told Medical Daily. “ I went through a number of food transitions and it used to be pretty good. But when the state went through the budget cuts, it got progressively worse and worse and worse. ”The meatballs hurt his stomach, the chicken patties are indistinguishable from the fish dishes, and the inmates have come to affectionately call the bologna \"\"cow tongue. ”Prison systems have a lengthy history of poor food quality, raising questions of ethical standards, especially when it comes to the oft-used “re-rack system.” Under the re-rack system, 95 percent of uneaten food is not thrown out, but rather frozen and re-served up to seven days after it was first distributed to the inmates."

Low-glycemic index foods are useful for people who need to control their blood sugar levels or are trying to reverse insulin resistance. However, avocados contain so few carbohydrates that they do not have an official glycemic index value. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that although there are not enough carbohydrates in an avocado to measure the fruit's official glycemic index, it is not likely that eating a large number of avocados would cause a \"\"significant rise in blood sugar.\"\" This means that although avocados are not included on the glycemic index list, they are still a low-glycemic food because they have a low-glycemic load. Avocados and Carbohydrates The healthiest type of carbohydrates are naturally occurring, such as those found in fruits like the avocado.

Add these fats and condiments to your low glycemic eating plan, a food plan that is made up of fresh vegetables and fruits, low glycemic grains and only a small amount of dairy products, grass fed meats, organic chicken and eggs and you will be eating primarily foods that lower your blood sugar. This is the way to have permanent weight loss. This is because the fat storing mechanisms in human beings involve hormones, primarily insulin and it is insulin that regulates blood sugar.

Wheat Germ and Glycemic Index Nutritional Difference Between Red Potatoes & Brown Potatoes Glycemic Index and Carrot Juice While a whole potato would seem on the surface to be a reasonably healthy choice compared with processed foods, spuds are a dud when it comes to their effect on your blood glucose level. Potatoes fall into the moderately high to high ranges on the glycemic index scale, which measures the effects of foods on blood glucose. Potatoes actually rank closer to table sugar, which consists of glucose and fructose, than to other starchy foods that contain long and complex chains of glucose, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Measuring Glycemic Index Determining the glycemic index of a food requires tests on human volunteers to see how the food affects their blood glucose levels. The Linus Pauling Institute’s website explains that volunteers receive 50 grams of a test food such as a potato, and a control food such as pure glucose that contains exactly the same amount of carbohydrate, on a later day. Volunteers’ blood is drawn before eating and for several hours after eating, and blood glucose is measured at regular intervals. Significance The Linus Pauling Institute reports that a medium-sized baked Russet potato has a glycemic index of 76. This means that the change in blood glucose over time after eating a baked potato is 76 percent of the change in blood glucose that occurs after eating the same amount of carbohydrate as pure glucose. Foods with lower glycemic index values tend to produce lower blood insulin levels, in addition to lower blood sugar levels, according to Harvard Health Publications."

"text": "Carbohydrates What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 1:2:1. Carbohydrates were once considered carbon hydrates (carbon substances containing water), which is now known to be untrue, but the term has persisted. According to a modern definition, carbohydrates are polyhydroxic aldehydes or ketones, which are substances with hydroxy (OH) and aldehyde (CHO) or ketone (C=O) functional groups [1]. Most carbohydrates consist of one or more sugar molecules, such as glucose or fructose [1]. Chart 1. Types of Carbohydrates Simple Carbohydrates Examples Monosaccharides or simple sugars (1 sugar unit) Fructose, galactose, glucose, mannose, tagatose, xylose Disaccharides (2 sugar units) Isomaltose, isomaltulose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, trehalose, trehalulose Sugar alcohols (polyols) Erythritol, glycerol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol Complex Carbohydrates Examples Oligosaccharides (3-10 sugar units)Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO), maltotriose, mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), raffinose, stachyose and verbascose Polysaccharides (>10 sugar units) Chondroitin sulfate, dextrins, glycosaminoglycans, maltodextrins, starch Dietary fiber Soluble fiber: acacia (arabic) gum), agar-agar, algin, arabynoxylan, beta-glucan, carrageenan, carob (locust bean) gum, fenugreek gum, galactomannans, gellan gum, glucomannan (konjac gum), guar gum, hemicellulose, inulin, karaya gum, pectin, polydextrose, psyllium husk mucilage, resistant starches, tara gum, tragacanth gum, xanthan gum and oligosaccharide listed above, except maltotriose Insoluble fiber: cellulose, chitin and chitosan Chart 1 reference: FAO.org [2]Are carbohydrates essential nutrients? To date, no carbohydrate deficiency is known, so carbohydrates are not considered essential nutrients [6]. Theoretically, you can survive without consuming any carbohydrates, because they can be produced in your body from fats and proteins [6]. Population studies in Alaska and Greenland have revealed no apparent detrimental effects of a lifelong very low carbohydrate diets on health or longevity [6]. In one 1928 study, Caucasians tolerated carbohydrate-free diet for one year “quite well” [6]. Even if not essential nutrients, carbohydrates are an important part of healthy diets. Functions of Carbohydrates in the Human Body The two main functions of the dietary carbohydrates are to provide [3,4,5]: Energy (about 4 kilocalories or 17 kilojoules per gram)Building blocks, mainly carbon atoms, for the synthesis of glycogen, fatty acids, amino acids and other substances in your body. Chart 2. Recommended Daily Intake of Carbohydrates Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) – the acceptable percent of calories that come from carbohydrates — is 45-65%.

Published: March, 2015You can get some of the same benefits of a low-glycemic-index diet by avoiding highly processed foods. The glycemic index is a number that indicates how rapidly the body digests a particular type of food and converts it into blood sugar (glucose). Some studies suggest that lower-glycemic-index diets may offer important health benefits for men—like a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. Even if you would rather not take the time to look up the glycemic index of everything on your plate, you can still benefit from the driving force behind the glycemic index simply by avoiding highly processed foods, like white bread, white rice, and sugary desserts. These raise blood sugar rapidly but are also independently tied to poorer health. \"\" Eating a minimally processed diet is going to cover a multitude of sins,\"\" says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Harvard-affiliated Boston Children's Hospital. Glycemic index for the heart The theory behind using the glycemic index to choose foods—including fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy, and grains—is that sudden rises in blood sugar after eating may cause health problems. In studies that observed large groups of people over time, eating a lower-glycemic- index diet was associated with less obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

Ancient grains bring the romance of rustic old worlds into our kitchens. They add new interesting flavours to our meals and put us in touch with a slower more natural way of life. In this post I'll tell you what they are and why they're enjoying such a revival today. What is an ancient grain? For many years archaeologists have reported finding the remains of grains and grain stores in ancient sites. For example researchers in China found the remains of charred wheat and millet in Yunnan that are thought to be nearly 4,000 years old!However, the term ancient grain doesn't mean just a 4,000 year old grain seed. It refers to the ancient types of grains that have only recently been 'discovered' by the West. But these heritage grains have been grown by different communities the world over as they began settling in one place and forsaking the nomadic life."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Grains Corn How are grits made? Flag How are grits made? Answer by Markdrstern Confidence votes 390ANSWER: Grits comes from the hominy corn and not the yellow corn we normally eat. It is allowed to dry and run through a grits mill that chips it into the small flakes we call grits. Before corn can be called hominy, the husk and germ are removed from the dry corn. This leaves you white corn. After the hominy is course ground, it is boiled until softened. A variation of hominy is lye hominy where the corn is soaked in wood ash lye until the husks and the outer hulls come off. Hominy can be eaten as is, or dried and ground into grits. The word grits comes from the Indian word ghreu meaning to grind."

History: (1) It is believed to have been developed in France during the latter part of the 19th century. The Danish people have been told for generations that a Danish royal pastry chef invented the dessert way back in the 1800s on the occasion of a state visit between the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Denmark, in Copenhagen. Some sources believe that the chocolate lines on the pastry appear to form the letter “N” for Napoleon. ("

Creamy Southern Garlic Cheese Grits Grits, plain with just butter, salt and lots of pepper are a delicious Southern staple. They are made from hominy or plain corn that has been finely ground to the consistency of sand, and are typically served as a side dish with eggs and toast at breakfast, but often show up at other meals too. I love grits, but I truly love garlic cheese grits. I mean these make my eyes roll back they are so good - creamy, cheesy and loaded with garlic. And, if you're lucky you'll have some left to make fried grit cakes too, because they are over the top, I'm tellin' ya! Many of us make a baked version of cheese grits around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and there was quite a lot of lamenting over the loss of the tube of Kraft processed garlic cheese product that got discontinued a couple of seasons back. If you miss that tube of garlic cheese, I highly recommend that you try this version of garlic cheese grits. It's not at all difficult and produces a wonderful creamy, garlicky, cheesy bowl of warm and comforting grits I think you'll love. Course now, I have heard a rumor that they still do make the same cheese product that used to be in the rolls, it's just only available in a can now."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An 1836 lithograph of tortilla production in rural Mexico. Bowl of hominy (nixtamalized corn kernels)Nixtamalization / n ɪ ʃ t ə m əl aɪ ˈ z eɪ ʃ ən / typically refers to a process for the preparation of maize (corn), or other grain, in which the corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually limewater (but sometimes wood ashlye [1]) washed, and then hulled. This process is known to remove up to 97–100% of aflatoxins from mycotoxin -contaminated corn. [ 2] The term can also refer to the removal via an alkali process of the pericarp from other grains such as sorghum. Nixtamalized maize has several benefits over unprocessed grain: it is more easily ground; its nutritional value is increased; flavor and aroma are improved; and mycotoxins are reduced. Lime and ash are highly alkaline: the alkalinity helps the dissolution of hemicellulose, the major glue-like component of the maize cell walls, and loosens the hulls from the kernels and softens the maize. Some of the corn oil is broken down into emulsifying agents (monoglycerides and diglycerides), while bonding of the maize proteins to each other is also facilitated. The divalent calcium in lime acts as a cross-linking agent for protein and polysaccharide acidic side chains. [ 3] As a result, while cornmeal made from untreated ground maize is unable by itself to form a dough on addition of water, the chemical changes in masa allow dough formation. These benefits make nixtamalization a crucial preliminary step for further processing of maize into food products, and the process is employed using both traditional and industrial methods, in the production of tortillas and tortilla chips (but not corn chips ), tamales, hominy, and many other items."

Adults feed on the nectar of many species of flowers, mostly from those of the Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, and Fabaceae families. Papilio glaucus has a wingspan measuring 3 to 5.5 inch. The male is yellow with four black “tiger stripes” on each fore wing. Females may be either yellow or black, making them dimorphic. The yellow morph is similar to the male, but with a conspicuous band of blue spots along the hindwind, while the dark morph is almost completely black."

The word grits originates from the English word meaning “grytta”, which means a coarse meal of any kind. Grits are normally served at breakfast time, but can also be served at any meal.

A thick soup that’s usually made with pork, hominy, garlic, onion, chili peppers, cilantro, and broth. My neighbor Debbie found this recipe in a great looking cookbook that she just lent me called The Feast of Santa Fe by Huntley Dent. This is a good recipe but I have learned a simpler, just as tasty recipe from my friend Paula who is from Mexico, is an incredible cook and never uses a recipe. She also always uses what’s on hand and if we don’t have one ingredient, she just finds something to substitute and her dishes always turn out great. Check out Paula’s Posole recipe after this one from The Feast of Santa Fe. What is Hominy? If you remove bran (also known as the pericarp) and the germ from a kernel of corn, you are left with the endosperm or sometimes called hominy. When the hominy is ground, we have what is commonly called “hominy grits”, a popular dish in the south. Notes: 2/28/99 – My wife and I made this last night for some friends and came up with some additional ideas."

Some examples of these animals are Coyotes, Eastern Wood Rats, Grizzly Bears, Prairie Dogs, and Pronghorn Antelopes. While many other expeditions were made, none of them actually found new scientific discoveries, like Lewis and Clark's expedition. On these expeditions, when they found an animal or specimen, they would send them back to the known part of the USA. Some of these specimens were alive, but most were parts and bones. With these specimens, people back home could eat new food from these new animals, find new ways to defend themselves from these wild beasts, and it strongly influenced the progress of science. How did it influence America? With the findings of all these species, many Americans back home could eat new food from these new animals, find new ways to defend themselves from these wild beasts, and most importantly, it strongly influenced the progress of science. With the discovering of the buffalo, many Americans gained new food sources."

Definitely they don’t usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she’s a honey badger shifter, it’s too late. Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-Mac Killigan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won’t even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she’s not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait."

S. Fish and Wildlife Service to greatly expand its plans for recovering grizzly bears, including returning the iconic animals to vast portions of the American West. The petition identifies 110,000 square miles of potential grizzly habitat in places like the Gila/Mogollon complex in Arizona and New Mexico, Utah’s Uinta Mountains, California’s Sierra Nevada and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Grizzly bear photos are available for media use. Returning bears to some or all of these areas is a crucial step toward recovering them under the Endangered Species Act and could potentially triple the grizzly bear population in the lower 48, from a meager 1,500 to 1,800 today to as many as 6,000.“Grizzly bears are one of the true icons of the American West, yet today they live in a paltry 4 percent of the lands where they used to roam,” said Noah Greenwald, the Center’s endangered species director. “ We shouldn’t be closing the book on grizzly recovery but beginning a new chapter — one where these amazing animals live wherever there’s good habitat for them across the West.” Today’s petition calls on the Service to revise its 1993 recovery plan to include suitable grizzly habitat across the West and to incorporate the findings of recent research that raises questions about the long-term viability of current grizzly bear populations, under relentless pressure from climate change, invasive species, human population growth, and related conflict and mortality. Since grizzly bears were listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1975, the Service has pursued a fragmented approach to recovery that fails to meet the intention of the Endangered Species Act to recover species across significant portions of their historic range. To date the agency has developed recovery strategies for only six populations, living in a relatively small portion of the bears’ range, including the Greater Yellowstone, Northern Continental Divide centered on Glacier National Park, Cabinet-Yaak, Selkirk Mountains, North Cascades and Selway-Bitterroot. And for the most part, the agency has only carried out on-the-ground recovery efforts for the first four populations. “The good news is that with the safety net of the Endangered Species Act, the health of Yellowstone and Glacier area grizzly bears has improved — but it’s way too early to declare victory and walk away,” Greenwald said. “"

"text": "Brown Bear Fact Sheet July 9, 20120 SHARES 9 Comments Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Ursidae Genus: Ursus Species: arctos Is it a brown bear or a grizzly? The answer is that all grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies. The grizzly is a North American subspecies of brown bear with the Latin name Ursus arctos horribilis. The correct scientific name for a grizzly is “brown bear,” but only coastal bears in Alaska and Canada are generally referred to as such, while inland and Arctic bears and those found in the lower 48 States are called grizzly bears. Size and Weight: Walking on all fours, brown bears have a height of about 3.5 feet (just over 1 meter). They can reach heights of 6-7 feet (1.5-2.5 meters) when standing on their hind legs. There are regional size differences among bears; brown bears are generally larger in the north—likely due to the colder climates. The largest of the brown bears, is the Kodiak bear ( Ursus arctos middendorffi ), is found only in the Kodiak archipelago islands along the southeastern coast of Alaska. Kodiaks can stand more than 10 feet (3 meters) tall on their hind legs and 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall when on all fours. Brown bears exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males being significantly larger than females."

However, today, the pandas are an endangered species and there are less than one thousand pandas in China. Some of the pandas are found in the Himalayan region also. They are mainly found in Sichuan, Shiaanxi and Gansu provinces of China. They used to live in the lowland regions of these areas but because of severe farming, the pandas had to retreat into the jungles.

Two bowhead whales, 50-foot-long behemoths that scour the Arctic seas for plankton, each started from their homes on opposite sides of North America—one in the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska, the other in Baffin Bay on the west side of Greenland. As the summer progressed, sea ice shrank (to its third-lowest cover in the last 30 years), and the whales swam toward each other through the now ice-free passage above the continent. Two independent teams of scientists from Canada and the United States watched the whales closely via satellite. “ We were all pretty excited,” recalls Kristen Laidre, a biologist at the University of Washington and member of the U. S. team. In September, in an inlet some 1,800 miles north of Fargo, North Dakota, where the North American landmass dissolves into the Arctic Ocean, the whales met in the middle. They spent two weeks together, and although not much happened before they turned around, the meeting was historic. The fossil record indicates the last time Pacific and Atlantic bowhead whales came into contact was at least 10,000 years ago. In the last 40 years, the Arctic has warmed by about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit, more than twice the overall global rise in that same period."

By Maria Cook; Updated February 12, 2018Pandas are one of the most easily recognized animals on Earth, thanks to their bold black and white coloration. Since almost all other bears have just one solid coat color, pandas are highly unusual-looking. They are also unique in other ways. For example, the diets of most bears are comprised of plant material, such as berries, and other animals, such as fish or insects. Pandas exclusively eat bamboo. Unfortunately, these fascinating bears are highly endangered due to habitat loss and other issues. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Pandas are endangered mainly due to habitat loss. Humans have cleared much of the bamboo forests that pandas need to survive.

The salmon run is the time when salmon, which have migrated from the ocean, swim to the upper reaches of rivers where they spawn on gravel beds. After spawning, all Pacific salmon and most Atlantic salmon [1] die, and the salmon life cycle starts over again. The annual run can be a major event for grizzly bears, bald eagles and sport fishermen. Most salmon species migrate during the fall (September through November). [ 2]Salmon spend their early life in rivers, and then swim out to sea where they live their adult lives and gain most of their body mass. When they have matured, they return to the rivers to spawn. Usually they return with uncanny precision to the natal river where they were born, and even to the very spawning ground of their birth. It is thought that, when they are in the ocean, they use magnetoception to locate the general position of their natal river, and once close to the river, that they use their sense of smell to home in on the river entrance and even their natal spawning ground."

[ 2] It is the largest recognized subspecies of brown bear, and one of the two largest bears alive today, the other being the polar bear. [ 3]Physiologically, the Kodiak bear is very similar to the other brown bear subspecies, such as the mainland grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos horribilis) and the now-extinct California grizzly bear ( U. a. californicus † ), with the main difference being in size. While there is generally much variation in size between brown bears in different areas, most usually weigh between 115 and 360 kg (254 and 794 lb). [ 4] The Kodiak bear, on the other hand, commonly reaches sizes of 300 to 600 kg (660 to 1,320 lb), and has even been known to exceed weights of 680 kg (1,500 lb). [ 2] Despite this large variation in size, the diet and lifestyle of the Kodiak bear does not differ greatly from that of other brown bears. Encounters between people and Kodiak bears have been very frequent since ancient times. Today, these encounters have become more common as a result of the increase in the human population in the region. Such encounters have included the hunting of bears by humans for their fur or meat, and, less commonly, attacks by bears upon humans."

At this time, the Endangered Species Act was passed, which gave gray wolves federal protection. Thanks to this protection, wolf populations are increasing in numbers in the northern Rockies, Great Lakes and the Southwestern United States. Despite some controversy, gray wolves were taken off the endangered species list in some states in 2008. Threats Gray wolves have often lived under persecution; they came into conflict with humans because they preyed on livestock. And, in the early 20th century, the government led a massive extermination campaign against wolves. Humans have also encroached into wolf territory, causing wolves to lose their natural habitat. These problems caused the number of gray wolves to decline drastically, leading them to become an endangered species.

However, after they are hatched the temperature must be kept at a steady 95 degrees using a heat lamp. Take care to monitor the temperature below the lamp. It is a good idea to have a thermometer handy to monitor the temperature. Experiment before your keets arrive and get a good idea of the temperature the lamp keeps before your keets arrive."

"text": "\"�Common Poultry Diseases 1G. D. Butcher, J. P. Jacob, and F. B. Mather 2Respiratory Diseases There are many common and important diseases which can affect the respiratory system (air passages, lungs, air sacs) of poultry (see Table 1). Poultry refers to birds that people keep for their use and generally includes the chicken, turkey, duck, goose, quail, pheasant, pigeon, guinea fowl, pea fowl, ostrich, emu, and rhea. Due to modern systems of management, usually with high poultry densities, these diseases are able to readily spread. Fowl Pox Synonyms: chicken pox (not to be confused with chicken pox in humans; the human disease does not affect poultry and vice versa), sore head, avian diphtheria, bird pox Species affected: Most poultry—chickens, turkeys, pheasants, quail, ducks, psittacine, and ratites—of all ages are susceptible. Clinical signs: There are two forms of fowl pox. The dry form is characterized by raised, wart-like lesions on unfeathered areas (head, legs, vent, etc.). The lesions heal in about 2 weeks. If the scab is removed before healing is complete, the surface beneath is raw and bleeding. Unthriftiness and retarded growth are typical symptoms of fowl pox. In laying hens, infection results in a transient decline in egg production (see Table 1)."

Size and weight: The wild turkey is the heaviest member of the Galliformes order. The male typically weighs between 11 to 24 pounds and is 39-49 inches long. The female, significantly smaller than the male, weighs 5 to 12 pounds and is only 30 to 37 inches long. Despite their size, wild turkeys can run at speeds up to 25 mph and fly up to 55 mph. Physical Features and Plumage: The male has featherless, red head and throat and a body covered in red, bronze, and gold iridescent feathers. When trying to attract a mate, the male will display, fluffing out the feathers on his body, fanning out his tail feathers and dragging his wings as he struts. The male typically has a “beard,” a patch of course feathers growing from the center of its breast. The female’s plumage is duller, consisting mostly of browns. Each wild turkey has approximately 5000 to 6000 feathers."

From the way the Cornish game hen is named and marketed, you might be forgiven for jumping to a few conclusions. You might see the word “game” and assume this is a game bird, like a pheasant or a guinea hen. This would be wrong. You might see the word “hen” and assume this is a female bird. This has a 50 percent chance of being wrong. In fact the only part of the bird’s name that isn’t a complete lie is the word “Cornish,” which is merely a partial lie. So what the hell is this thing? The Cornish game hen was first bred, according to legend, by Tea Makowsky, who fled the Nazis and settled in Connecticut.

All that deferred preaching needs some outlet, and blogging such things usually nets me positive feedback as opposed to politely bemused stares. So today it's another post on things chookish. If you don't have chickens or are new to keeping them, you may not realize how well their omnivorous natures suit them to life on an organic homestead. We haven't treated our lawn with anything other than milky spore to control invasive Japanese beetles since we moved in almost three years ago. That means we have plenty of weeds around our property.

Although The Wuzzles was Disney's first original animated TV series, that was really a trial run for this series, which almost immediately made the company a dominant force in television animation. This series lasted from September 1985 to February 1991, with a total of 94 episodes; it initially aired on NBC before moving to ABC in 1989 and then to syndication as part of The Disney Afternoon. The show was actually a major gamble for Disney, as it was a very new idea. Disney reasoned that the costs of a high-quality animated show could be recovered in syndication. Also, TV animation companies like Hanna-Barbera and Filmation had to operate within the network license fees for their productions to keep the studios alive, while Disney, a major media corporation with renewed strength, could directly finance their TV work on top of the network license fees for a future payoff. The gamble worked, and a new era of unprecedented quality in western television animation was born with Disney's competitors eventually being forced to raise their production standards and budgets to avoid unfavorable comparisons. The series takes place in The Theme Park Version of medieval times, centuries after the \"\"Great Gummis\"\" fled across the sea, while a small caretaker colony stayed behind in Gummi Glen, in the Kingdom of Dunwyn, to maintain the civilization's extremely sophisticated infrastructure, on the off-chance the Gummis could return to live with humans in peace. Unfortunately, when the story begins, the Glen Gummis have declined to only six descendants, who have forgotten their past skills. Fortunately, they meet a friendly human boy named Cavin who found a Gummi Medallion that unlocks their library's Great Book of Gummi, the essential book of their culture's knowledge."

But while things like meat, eggs and cheese are easy to avoid, adhering to a vegan diet is far more nuanced than it can seem — especially when processed foods with long ingredients lists and difficult-to-pronounce names can disguise animal products. For example, white sugar can be filtered with bone char, charred animal bones that can make sugar appear whiter (although this process is reportedly used less and less in food these days ). And certain candies, which may seem vegan-friendly, include the ingredient confectioner’s glaze, made from bug secretions. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) includes a number of products with refined sugar, natural flavors or other ingredients that in some instances can come from animals on its list of “Accidentally Vegan” products. The organization explains the position as follows: While PETA supports a strict adherence to veganism, we put the task of vigorously reducing animal suffering ahead of personal purity. Boycotting products that are 99.9 percent vegan sends the message to manufacturers that there is no market for this food, which ends up hurting more animals. Vegan individuals will have to choose for themselves whether compounds like these fit into their personal animal-free diet or not, not to mention whether processed foods fit into a nutritious diet to begin with. Still, some of the PETA-approved picks are items you’d never expect to be vegan. Here are just a few.1 Betty Crocker Bac-o’s Bacon Flavor Bits Flickr: Fuzzy Gerdes Not to be confused with real bacon bits, these flavorful tidbits aren’t actually made from meat.2 Oreos Flickr: dno1967b Despite the creamy center, there are no dairy products in “milk’s favorite cookie”.3 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Flickr: stevendepolo Despite that buttery taste, it’s a number of vegetable oils that give these flaky baked goods their flavor.4 Ritz Crackers Ritz Crackers.com This cracker prides itself on buttery flavor, but contains no dairy or animal products.5 Kraft Creamy Italian Dressing Getty Images The creamy texture of this salad topper doesn’t actually come from any dairy products.6 Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Amazon.com The classic flavors Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese are made with milk, cheese and whey, but the lesser-known Spicy Sweet Chili flavor is dairy-free."

There is also gelatin that is made out of plant materials such as agar. The reason that kosher gelatin isn't usually made with animals slaughtered in a kosher way is because then so many products such as ice cream, candies and gum would have to be meat. Since a Jew can't have meat and milk together, they would have to wait 6 hours after eating a gummy bear to eat a piece of cheese.

"text": "Gelatin, or gelatine, is a substance derived from the processing of animal collagen. Commercially, this is most typically obtained from cattle hides and bones and pigskins. Contrary to popular belief, it is not rendered from the feet or horns of animals, which are made primarily of keratin rather than collagen. In its most basic form, commercially processed edible gelatin is a tasteless beige or pale yellow powder or granules. It is composed of mostly protein, with a small percentage of mineral salts and water making up the balance. Gelatin contains 18 amino acids. Of the ten essential amino acids necessary for human health, it lacks only tryptophan. Edible gelatin is extraordinarily versatile. Aside from the ubiquitous Jell-O® desserts popular both in institutional cafeterias and home kitchens around the world, it can be found in an amazing array of food products. In the processed food industry, it is used a thickener, a gelling agent, a stabilizer, and an emulsifier."

Martha’s recipe said that the marshmallows needed to chill for only 3 hours.

Horse hoof glue is still made. It is used in fine woodworking and violin making, among other things. All of the major brands of marshmallows manufactured in the United States are made out of gelatin extracted from pig parts. Kraft marshmallows are made from gelatin extracted from pig skin."

"text": "\"FAQs What are the basic rules of Halal (Muslim's) foods? With respect to food, Islamic laws are very specific and Muslims seek to eat foods defined as \"\"Halal\"\", which is defined by Muslims as \"\"that which is allowed\"\". Essentially, \"\"Halal\"\" means permitted by God, or \"\"Allah\"\", the Law-Giver. Can Muslims consume food prepared by non-Muslims? It is a religious obligation for all Muslims to consume only food that is Halal. Muslims can consume food that is prepared and/or sold by non-Muslims as long as they are Halal. What is Halal Certified Products? ' Halal-certified' refers to products which have been endorsed as Halal by a credible Islamic body (third-party certification). Often times, Halal certification involves a series of steps including ingredient verification, inspection/audit and approval by committee. In general, all Halal-certified products are Halal, but not all Halal products are Halal-certified."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Gelatin Where can you get gelatin? Flag Where can you get gelatin? Answer by H Plus Confidence votes 300Gelatins are a form of collagen which is completely natural and entirely protein - 100% fat free. It provides all 8 of the essential amino acids required by your body to repair itself and grow. It belongs to the family of hydrocolloids, such as guar gum and xanthan gum which are plant or sugar-derived. When added to food, gelatin and other hydrocolloids make it thicker. Depending on how much is added, a jelly/jello can be formed too. There are several ways of getting gelatin, the most common is from treating pig skin with acid, but you can also get gelatin from pig bones. For kosher and halal gelatin, cow hide and bones can be treated with alkali, or fish and chicken skin and bones can undergo the same processes. You don't have to boil up the cow yourself, though - you can usually buy it in supermarkets!5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Sound Vision Staff Writer Often times Muslim consumers tend to assume 'Kosher' is similar to 'Halal'. Although the slaughtering rituals of Jewish people resemble those of Muslims; kosher and halal are two different entities carrying a different meaning and spirit. Muslims, therefore, are provided with the following basic information about Kosher so they can exercise care in distinguishing halal from kosher. Kashrut (in Hebrew) is the system of Jewish dietary laws. Kosher (kashur in Hebrew) means 'fit, or proper for use' according to Jewish law. Examples of kosher are: the meat of the 'fore quarter*' of the cattle slaughtered ritually, fruits, vegetables, all fish that have fins*, Kosher wines*, Kosher cheeses*, Kosher gelatin*. The opposite of Kosher, as applied to food in Treif (in Yiddish), or trefah (in Hebrew) meaning 'not suitable for use', or 'forbidden'. Trefah literally means 'torn by a wild beast' (Exodus 22:30). Examples of Trefah are: blood, swine, rabbit*, all shell fish*, wild birds such as wild hen*, wild duck*, and the birds of prey. (*) These food items exhibit a marked difference between kosher and Halal as well as trefah and haram. The differences are explained elsewhere in this section."

I know it works, because I quickly found and confirmed a previously unknown third cousin. In addition, this test provides a very robust test of close relationships. DNA Relationship Testing Traditional DNA kinship testing compares two people on 15-24 very specific autosomal markers. 23and Me takes an entirely different approach. Their test includes about a million autosomal markers. But they don’t compare people on individual markers.

After all, who else to support your early musical dabbling then the person that hears you practicing in the next room? But when it comes to performing together and all the financial entanglements and ego-stroking that it entails, it’s no surprise that family ties can get a bit strained. Whether they supported each other or had epic falling outs, here are some of our favourite sibling duos that have forged music history together. Duane and Gregg Allman (Allman Brothers) Duane Allman was a game-changing rock ‘n’ roll guitarist while his younger sibling Gregg Allman was one of the most charismatic vocalists in rock history, together they formed the pioneering Southern Rock band the Allman Brothers Band in 1969. While the late Duane was a session musician prodigy, it was actually his younger brother who taught him his first guitar lessons and the two only split up once due to binding contract issues. Almost an exception to the rule, the Allman siblings had one of the most harmonious familial and creative relationships in rock history.

This is sometimes called a “kinship” test and many labs still offer it, even though far better alternatives are now available. I used this test myself in 2007. Trying to identify which of five deceased brothers was my birth father, I compared myself to a son of each man. One of these sons showed the highest probability of being my half brother. So I assumed his father had been mine too. Over the next few years, I heard from many people disappointed by the inconclusive results of DNA sibling tests.

In addition to that you may be able to take additional exemption if you have dependents. The additional exemption is called dependency exemption and it is the same amount ($3,650) per dependents. On top of the exemptions, taxpayers may be able to deduct additional credits such as the child tax, dependent care, educational and earned income. That is why it is critical to claim as much dependents as you can if those people qualify. You can claim a person as a dependent if the following applies: You (or your spouse if filing jointly) are NOT CLAIMED as a dependent on someone else’s return The dependent MUST BE a US citizen, US resident alien, US national or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the year You can claim a dependent IF Â that person is your qualifying child or qualifying relative as described in the following: Qualifying Child Test1.

That's not the same as half brother, you know. Half brother is if Aerys had her with Rhaella and Jon through Lyanna. Step brother is, say, if Ned married Ashara and had Jon, then Ashara married Aerys later, legally, making Jon and Dany... Step siblings. And please for once, don't bring Rhaegar and Lyanna into this... If Aerys married his daughter in law after she got pregnant with Rhaegar then the resulting knot would confuse the Mereenese. At the very worst, Lyanna got pregnant by Aerys to start with, making Jon Dany's half brother. That is worst case though, because it ruins the tragic Lyanna-Rhaegar setup we had.14.1k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Is it true that Jon Snow is nephew of Daenerys ?

"text": "\"Did Jesus have any brothers, sisters or siblings? Four men—James, Joses, Simon, and Judas—are mentioned as the brothers or siblings of Jesus. ( See Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3.) There has been much discussion through the centuries as to the exact relationship of these men to Jesus. So the question remains, did Jesus have siblings? Three principal views have been advanced: (1) that they were Jesus' actual siblings/brothers, that is, half brothers, sons of Joseph and Mary (and therefore younger than Jesus); (2) that they were His stepbrothers, that is, children of Joseph by a previous marriage (and thus all older than He and not His blood relatives at all); (3) that they were the cousins of Jesus on the mother's side, according to some, or on Joseph's side, according to others. Browse: Where was Jesus Born? Browse: When was Jesus Born? Three Views About Jesus' Siblings Those who hold the first view argue that this is the most natural way to understand the various references to these brothers; also that this is the most obvious intent of Matthew 1:25; Luke 2:7. Those who hold the second view argue that family ethics would not permit younger siblings to taunt or otherwise meddle with an older brother as Jesus' brothers taunted Him (see Mark 3:31; John 7:3-4)."

Viola is my great aunt. Margo, you are my mother’s second cousin’s second wife so you would be…..well, some kind of in-law or kissing cousin, I guess.” It gets confusing, even for experts. It is even more difficult for patients or referring providers who try to relate a family history of a second cousin with a cleft palate and a heart defect but who is actually a first cousin once-removed. Below I have created a generic pedigree that illustrates the most common familial relationships in the kinship system of the modern Western English-speaking world. The pedigree undoubtedly contains errors and omissions. So, in the spirit of crowd sourcing, I encourage my fellow pedigree wonks to scrutinize it and report mistakes, mislabelings, missing relatives, and thoughtful commentary in the Comments section below (this would also be a great discussion topic for a few hours of a genetic counseling student seminar).

Hallucinogen is an umbrella term, meaning this includes both stimulants and depressants but mainly depressants. A hallucinogen is a drug that causes hallucinations. Examples include LSD and different types of mushrooms. A stimulant is a drug that stimulates your body, you are more aware, alert, jumpy and fidgety, your heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration increase, often elevate your mood, dilate your pupils and decrease appetite. Legal stimulants are caffeine (coffee and soda), nicotine (cigarettes and cigars), energy drinks, and such. Illegal stimulants include meth (amphetamine)s, cocaine, crack, ecstasy. A depressant is a drug that overrelaxes your body, you are less aware and more susceptible to others' influence. Your heart rate and BP slow down, and you can lack coordination.

Which stimulants are abused? The most widely abused stimulants are cocaine, crack (a pure form of cocaine) and amphetamines. Cocaine has limited commercial use and its sale and possession are strictly controlled. Nevertheless there is a huge worldwide illicit network for the manufacture and supply of this drug in its various forms. Doctors sometimes prescribe pharmaceutical amphetamines and their availability makes them candidates for misuse but powdered amphetamine, manufactured in illicit laboratories, is the most common type of amphetamine to be abused in the UK.

It’s often experimented with in teenage years, but what are its effects on the mind and body during a trip and long after its potency wears off? Lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD, is a psychedelic, hallucinogenic drug that was first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist, Albert Hofmann. After accidentally absorbing a small amount of the drug through his fingertips, Hofmann became the first of many humans to experience its impressive mood-changing abilities. “At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring). I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors,” Hofmann described in his 1980 autobiography, after he was brought home by his lab assistant. LSD was originally developed to act as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant. It’s an odorless, colorless, and tasteless liquid that’s usually ingested by placing small tabs of LSD-soaked papers beneath the tongue."

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a hallucinogenic drug, which means you’re likely to experience a distorted view of objects and reality and it can cause hallucinations. It’s effects are similar to LSD and magic mushrooms. As with LSD, some people refer to using DMT as ‘tripping’, which can be a good or bad experience. A number of indigenous people’s traditions and religions use drinks or food, such as ayahuasca, that contain DMT. This has led some people to consider DMT as being ‘spiritual’ and ‘safe’ rather than seeing it as a chemical hallucinogen. The key effects and risks of DMT include: A distorted view of objects and reality or actual hallucinations. These effects are normally pleasurable and can come on rapidly, can be very intense and may last for two hours. Until you have taken DMT you can't tell how strong it is or how it's going to affect you."

"text": "Sometimes called the party pill or the love drug, ecstasy is a chemical and comes in tablets. It is being used more and more around the world, but its dangers are often underestimated. Here are the facts. Ecstasy first came into widespread use with the emergence of techno music and parties known as ravesl, where users stayed up all night dancing for hours on end. Today, ecstasy is also taken at bars, night clubs, and other places where people meet to party. What is ecstasy? Originally the pills sold as ecstasy contained a specific chemical, MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), which was responsible for its psychoactive effects. But nowadays, drugs sold as ecstasy often contain other substances. The MDMA molecule may or may not be present, and it may be mixed with other substances: stimulants such as amphetamine, methamphetamine, caffeine, and ephedrine; hallucinogens such as LSD, PCP, ketamine, nexus, and PMA (paramethoxyamphetamine); anabolic steroids; and analgesics (such as aspirin). Ecstasy may also be cut with corn starch or even with soap or detergents!What does ecstasy look like?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Adriaen Brouwer, The Smokers (1636) Edgar Degas, L’Absinthe (1873)Recreational drug use is the use of a psychoactive drug to induce an altered state of consciousness for pleasure, by modifying the perceptions, feelings, and emotions of the user. When a psychoactive drug enters the user's body, it induces an intoxicating effect. Generally, recreational drugs are in three categories: depressants (drugs that induce a feeling of relaxation and calm); stimulants (drugs that induce a sense of energy and alertness); and hallucinogens (drugs that induce perceptual distortions such as hallucination ). In popular practice, recreational drug use generally is a tolerated social behaviour, rather than perceived as the serious medical condition of self-medication. However, heavy use of some drugs is socially stigmatized. Recreational drugs include alcohol (as found in beer, wine, and distilled spirits ); cannabis and hashish; nicotine ( tobacco ); caffeine ( coffee and black tea ); and the controlled substances listed as illegal drugs in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971) of the United Nations. What controlled substances are considered illegal drugs varies by country, but usually includes methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and club drugs. In 2009, it was estimated that about 3% to 6% of people aged 15 to 65 had used illegal drugs at least once (149 to 270 million).

Pharma & Healthcare 6/05/2012 @ 2:38AM 498,963 views The Straight Dope on What Bath Salts Do to Your Brain and Why They're Dangerous Image credit: Wikipedia I know you’ve probably already read a few articles about the deceptively named drugs called “bath salts” and their effects (or alleged effects, i.e. zombie cannibalism) so in this one we’re going to get right to the point. Bath salts are dangerous for chiefly two reasons, and neither have anything to do with addiction or hallucinations. The first reason is dosage, and the second is sleep deprivation. Before addressing each of those in more detail, let’s quickly go over what bath salts are and are not, and how they affect the brain. First, the name “bath salts” doesn’t refer to any single drug, but rather a group of substances with similar chemical properties. Most varieties contain either mephedrone or methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). Both drugs are related to khat, an organic stimulant found in the Middle East and East African countries. Khat is illegal in the US because it contains cathinone, a Schedule 1 controlled substance according to the DEA. Neither of these drugs are new; mephedrone has been bouncing around laboratories since the 1920s, MDPV since the late 1960s."

Cooked bones are never good for a dog as they can splinter and cause serious internal damage. Also ham is not good for your dog as it contains HUGE levels of salt and fat. If you want to feed your dog meaty bones, Y not feed him raw bones? They are soft and will not splinter. Plus they are fantastic for his teeth and gums. You can feed him raw beef bones, pork neckbones even chicken quarters. Basically anything as long as it is raw. * RAW BONES WILLNOT SPLINTER* and if you are feeding your dog USDA approved meat that is fit for human consumption, you will not have a problem with worms."

Late 19th century food scientists examined meat doneness, offering temperature/time recommendations according to type of meat, cut, and method of cooking. Like their 17th century predecessors, early 20th cooking texts warn against rare meat. Rare vs. Underdone (opposite of Done?) are noted [ Rorer 1902 ]."

"text": "Onions and Dogs: A Lethal Combination67 | Posted: September 16, 2009Comment Tweet Email Sophia Yin, DVM September 4, 2009While many of you already know that chocolate can make your cat or dog sick, did you know that onions can kill? I learned this my second year in veterinary school. But I didn't really appreciate it until the big onion incident that occurred during my senior year. Well, maybe the incident wasn't all that big; it only involved one dog. But it was my own dog, Max, a 72-pound adult Boxer. And it nearly killed him. Not surprisingly, pets actually have to eat the onions to get sick, but depending on their size, they may not have to eat much. One fourth of a cup can make a 20-pound dog sick while several cups may be needed to make a large dog sick. Cats are even more sensitive. You're probably asking yourself, “What dog or cat with brains would eat onions?”"

Country Hams | Preparing Your Country Ham | Cooking Your (Uncooked) Country Ham: | Storing Your Country Ham | Carving Your Country Ham | Serving Your Country Ham | More Country Ham Tips!Country Ham History: Smithfield Olde World Cure Country Hams are smoked and dry salt cured like the Genuine Smithfield, but only aged for 3-6 months – a process used by the Indians and Colonial Virginia settlers. The result is a more subtle, milder flavor that still retains our distinctive country-cure taste. This shorter shank ham is often referred to as a “cousin” to a Genuine Smithfield. Our Genuine Smithfield Hams. The Genuine Smithfield Ham is America’s original artisan ham – dry salt cured “country style” and aged for 6-12 months. There is no comparison to the robust flavor of a Luter’s Artisan Genuine Smithfield Ham. No other ham can be called a “Genuine Smithfield” unless it is made in the town limits of Smithfield, Virginia and made according to the strict guidelines set forth many years ago. And there are actually laws to govern this. But what you will notice most is the longer shank and the stronger flavor due to the curing process – which involves hand rubbing with salt, coating with black pepper, and curing for up to a year. Combined with gentle hardwood smoking, this process yields a ham with the rich smokehouse flavor we often call “The Grandaddy of Country Hams”."

As surprising as it sounds, many foods that are perfectly safe for humans to eat contain toxins that are harmful or even fatal to your Yorkshire Terrier! You could be unknowingly poisoning your 'best friend' by giving them table scraps, tidbits and other foods such as grapes, sugar free candy, and chocolate. Some common foods that can causes serious health risks in even small amounts include: * Chocolate - A xanthine compound 'theobromine', found in chocolate, is the ingredient that makes it dangerous for dogs. Unsweetened baking chocolate has six times more Theobromine than milk chocolate. Some large dogs seem to be able to handle a small amount of chocolate but for smaller dogs such as Yorkies, the same amount can poison them. * Cocoa bean mulch used in gardens also contains Theobromine and is poisonous to dogs. Unfortunately, many dogs find cocoa bean mulches wonderful chocolate smell irresistible. Never feed any chocolate to your dogs regardless of your dog's size or the type of chocolate. *"

A dog that experiences seasonal itching for as little as three weeks may be treated with hydrocortisone cream for that short period of time, but the side effects of steroids mean that longer treatment is ill-advised.

Others are things you would never give your dog purposefully, but now you will be more careful to not let them be in your dog's reach. And some just need to be limited to small amounts. Avocados (fruit, pit, and plant) are toxic to dogs. Avocados contain a toxic component called persin, which can damage heart, lung and other tissue in many animals. They are high in fat and can trigger stomach upset, vomiting and even pancreatitis. Symptoms of toxicity include difficulty breathing, abdominal enlargement, abnormal fluid accumulations in the chest, abdomen and sac around the heart. The amount that needs to be ingested to cause signs is unknown. The effects on dogs and cats are not completely understood."

"text": "\"1 Choose a type of ham. Most hams that you buy at the grocery store have already been cooked or partially cooked, which means that you'll essentially be reheating the ham rather than cooking it from scratch. It is possible to buy raw ham (also known as fresh ham), but it is not common. Buying a precooked ham will save you a lot of cooking time, and many of them come pre-sliced and with a glaze provided. Pork is a particularly risky kind of meat to undercook - more likely dangerous than undercooked beef and bigger and harder to cook through than chicken. Pre-slicing any meat can get pathogens on the outside into the inside where they are harder to cook. And cooked, sealed meat is semi-sterilized to last longer. So don't get a raw ham unless you are ready to prepare it carefully, including with a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked through (recommendations vary from 140 to 160 degrees F). A cooked one need only be reheated to taste (and should not be overheated to avoid overcooking). You can buy hams with the bone-in or the bone removed."

"text": "Help – My Dog Ate Chicken Bones April 5, 2008 by z3admin 41 Comments Help, my dog ate cooked chicken bones! Do I need to take my dog to the vet if he ate bones?? We have all been there… You get distracted during the game while your favorite team is scoring the game winning touchdown, only to find that Tank has managed to eat the bones of every last hot sauce coated wing carcass that laid on the table. Your vet has told you to never give your dog cooked bones including chicken bones, steak bones, ribs and ham bones, but why are these things so bad for your dog – aren’t they built to digest bones? Before you rush Tank off to the vet to have his wing-filled tummy x-rayed, here are some home remedies to make your pet feel better, along with distress signs to watch out for to make sure your dog will be able to pass the bones ok. Initially, after you dog gets a hold of the bones, the major concern is to make sure that your dog is not choking on the bones. Odds are your dog knows they are doing something wrong while stealing the bones so they are going to try to chomp them down as soon as possible in hopes that they are not caught in the act. Make sure your dog is not exhibiting any of the following symptoms – wretching, gagging, vomiting, excessive drinking, licking lips, or an inability to sit down comfortably/anxious pacing, as any one of these symptoms could indicate one of the bones is lodged in your dog’s throat. If your dog has already ingested the cooked bones and does not seem to be in any distress then the next step is to make sure your dog will be able to pass the bone with ease. If your dog has already gotten the bones down without choking, odds are they will be ok, but it important to keep a vigilant watch over them for the next few days to make sure the bones are passed through their stool."

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

XS, Small, Medium, Large and XL (each incremental size has an additional tube of yarn woven in the body of the hammock) Therefore, the length of the hammock is the same for each size but the difference is the width. Width gives the size. The larger the size, the wider and bigger the hammock. The larger the hammock, the more comfortable it will feel. This holds true even for one person. The general rule is to get the largest hammock you can reasonably afford. We suggest Largefor two or more (up to 660 pounds). It is a very strong hammock and very comfortable for 1 individual."

No one I knew used one, they used cribs and bassinettes. So I bought a cradle and a crib, and ended up co-sleeping until after my son was one because he wouldn’t sleep in either one. This time I am going to try a baby hammock. After the testimonials of good friends and the online reviews I am hoping it will prevent the horrible sleep habits my son had. I like to pretend he would have been like this no matter how much I held him and rocked him and slept with him and nursed him to sleep. Maybe, maybe not. The baby hammock itself has been around for over 800 years, so it is not a new invention. Now I have to choose one. The prices range from expensive to very expensive, so this is a choice I am not taking lightly."

Whether you’re an avid rock climber or just a Boy Scout at heart, you will find plenty of uses for the bowline knot. Hang a Hammock: If you love to hang around in a hammock on a hot summer day, try using bowline knots to secure it to tree limbs. You won’t have to worry about a humiliating hammock disaster, because a bowline knot won’t come undone while loaded. If you need to take it down for an impromptu football game in the backyard, the bowline knot makes it easy. Anchors Away: Sailors have long used bowline knots to secure boats in docks. The Appalachian Mountain Club says to play with the loop size until you can reach it from the boat to make departing a snap – handy if you want to show off for your passengers. Tying Animals: Bowline knots come in handy on farms, where they secure animals without slipping against their skin or tightening too much, says the University of Minnesota Department of Animal Science. Both of these qualities prevent tender spots and pain. Climbing: Indoor climbers use a bowline knot to tie into a harness."

Hammock is a term used in the southeastern United States for stands of trees, usually hardwood, that form an ecological island in a contrasting ecosystem. Hammocks grow on elevated areas, often just a few inches high, surrounded by wetlands that are too wet to support them. The term hammock is also applied to stands of hardwood trees growing on slopes between wetlands and drier uplands supporting a mixed or coniferous forest. Types of hammocks found in the United States include tropical hardwood hammocks, temperate hardwood hammocks, and maritime or coastal hammocks. Hammocks are also often classified as hydric (wet soil), mesic (moist soil) or xeric (dry soil). The types are not exclusive, but often grade into each other. Unlike many ecosystems of the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, hammocks are not tolerant of fire. Hammocks tend to occur in locations where fire is not common, or where there is some protection from fire in neighboring ecosystems."

Dura Cord® is constructed of man-made industrial yarn that has been augmented with ultraviolet inhibitors and further anti-microbial enhancements to prevent degradation from outdoor exposure; but it is virtually indistinguishable from cotton. It has fooled even the experts!In 2003, The Hammock Source, manufacturers of Hatteras Hammocks and The Original Pawleys Island Hammocks, worked with a North Carolina concern, to create the synthetic yarn that was initially used in the creation of rope for hammocks. As hammock manufacturers, they had long been seeking a rope that was able to be produced of long lasting color but with the soft feel of cotton. Previously, all colorfast yarns were rough and not applicable for use in hammocks where the user completely lies within the ropes. \"\" This innovative and proprietary product provided important customer benefits and helped to ensure that Hatteras Hammocks and The Original Pawleys Island Hammock remained the premier names in quality hand-woven rope hammocks,\"\" said J. A. Branch, president, The Hammock Source. Never before had a rope been available with the cotton softness while maintaining rich color. The rope was marketed under the name of Dura Cord®. In 2004, these yarns, which were initially used in the production of rope, were taken a step further and were incorporated into fashion fabrics for outdoor and indoor use. Soft as cotton fabric with the performance characteristic of fade resistance and stain resistance was now available with the use of Dura Cord® yarns."

"text": "\"What is a hammock? By Rhonda M. Brewer The Aucilla River is a beautiful place to work and to learn. The river and its surrounding flora and fauna are good for the soul; a \"\"classroom\"\" backdrop such as this is conducive to learning, and hard work is never dreary, simply because of the beautiful environment. The crew is always on the lookout for birds to watch and plants to identify. Having grown up in the city and suburbs of Cleveland my notion of wildlife consisted of the occasional squirrel and artificial deer lawn ornaments. I quickly became aware of my ignorance concerning nature, especially Florida wildlife, which was a constant source of amazement to me (I was astounded by the size of the insects, not to mention the size of the bites they left on my body). Many lively discussions take place after dinner when the work is done; topics vary from the intellectual to the inane (a result of hard work). One night I was thumbing through a wildlife book as talk surrounded a bird we had seen cruising over the boats earlier that day; I came across the word \"\"hammock.\"\" In an effort to get a quick answer, I asked the crew what a hammock was and received two different definitions. In order to clarify the meaning I did a little research and this is what I found."

Let’s be honest: With the exception of spawning season, rarely do we find trophy bass hiding under lily pads in two feet of water. Once a bass reaches the 5- to 6-pound size range, it’s an upper-level predator that fears little and wants to eat big. They don’t spend much time hiding in the shallows and chasing 2-inch minnows. Big bass are big-water fish, where they can grab a big meal, like a crappie, bluegill, or gizzard shad, in one mouthful. On most Florida waters, the biggest bass spend most of their life in the deeper waters, or on deeper cover edges, and only venture shallow to spawn, or briefly to feed. For a textbook study of tactics for catching those deep fish, check out the channelized upper Kissimmee River in central Florida. Fishing on the so-called “Ditch,” guide Dick Loupe and I opened a few doors—literally—into the habits of open-water bass. It started with the lock at Turkey Hammock, which we passed through to reach the river from the ramp on the lake side. When the doors opened, we were greeted by a wad of feeding bass."

"text": "\"How To Hang a Hammock Properly Choosing a Location With the variety of hammock styles available today, you should be able to find one to fit virtually any spot in or outside your home. Although traditionally hung between two trees, you can also hang a hammock between posts set in the ground, on a porch, on a hammock stand and from a ceiling beam. Make certain that any trees, posts or beams that you plan to use are strong enough to support the extra weight. We recommend trees or posts be a minimum of 6\"\" (15 cm) in diameter or 4\"\" x 6\"\" (10 cm x 15 cm) in size. Do not use wood supports which are cracked, split or rotten or which are too soft to properly hold the screw hooks. For outdoor use, we recommend you use treated lumber or types resistant to rot. If using posts, they should be at least 2 feet deep into the ground, deeper if you have sandy soil. Simply dig the hole, place post in hole, fill with cement and let dry completely. How to hang a hammock using hammock hooks1. Drill a 3/16\"\" (0.5 cm) or smaller starter hole where you want your hooks."

"text": "Attaching a Rope Hammock to a Tree What You'll Need Rope hammock 2 long lengths of rope Short length of rope or chain extenders 2 Hooks2 S-Hooks Drill A rope hammock can offer the perfect space to swing, relax and sleep in during nice days. Setting up a tree hammock or even a double hammock and attaching it to a tree is not as complicated as it might seem. All you need are very few materials and tools and very basic knowledge of knots. The steps here concentrate on the basic single hammock. Step 1 - Choose the Right Spot First you have to select the right spot where to hang your tree hammock. If you are going to use two trees, make sure that the trees you have chosen have a thick trunk of at least ten inches so that it can support the weight of approximately 220 lbs. Look out for signs of disease, stress and choose one which has a good amount of leaves which will eventually be used for shade. Step 2 - Measure the Distance Between the Trees The trees should be of approximately 1 to 2 inches further apart than the full length of the hammock, measured from attaching hook to the other. The distance that the hammock is spread affects the spring in your hammock so if the distance is too short, the feel will be very ridged, with extra space, it will offer a very good swing, too much space and the swing might be great enough to tip you over. Step 3 - Use Extenders Extenders are used when you are using hooks to attach the hammock."

While we will not be giving away the actual answer or announcing any spoilers (you'll have to wait until Star Wars VIII for that), we will give you a little something to think about! Let’s get started! The first point to address is the focus on family in The Force Awakens. You meet Hans Solo’s child, as well as learn the fate Princess Leia, and of course, you find out where Luke Skywalker has been all of this time. The character’s relationships weave a complex web of love, deceit, and hardship. In the midst of all of the action is Rey. A feisty young woman forced to live a difficult life on Jakku. Rey, whose last name is conveniently left a secret, refuses to leave her home planet, as she is waiting for the return of her family."

He is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk . In the series' narrative chronology, he appears in Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi . He also guest-starred in the season 3 finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well on The Muppet Show along with his friends Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2 . Contents [ show]Background Chewbacca was born on Kashyyyk 180 years before the advent of the Clone Wars, and during that time, he married a female wookie named Malla, whom he had a son with, named Lumpawaroo. During the years of the Clone Wars, he was also captured by Trandoshan hunters, who tried to kill him for sport on their game-hunting plant. This led to him teaming with the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano to escape their pursuers, with both eventually defeating the reptilian aliens and returning home. Personality In his youth, Chewbacca was somewhat reckless. In his later years, he becomes, responsible, intelligent, calculating, kind, caring, brave, loyal, passionate, moral, honorable, selfless, and trustworthy, as Chewbacca often served as Han Solo 's conscience in their smuggling endeavors, which makes people trust him more than they did Han. Chewbacca is known to be stubborn and dislikes losing, whether at holographic games or at life."

Her name means “languid, relaxed” in Hebrew. In the Bible, Jacob falls in love with Rachel, Leah’s younger (and more beautiful) sister; and so offers the girls’ father, Laban, seven years of servitude in exchange for Rachel’s hand in marriage. At the end of seven years, Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah first: “It is not our custom to give the younger before the firstborn” says Laban to Jacob in Genesis 29:26. Fortunately for Jacob, in those days it was perfectly acceptable for a man to have more than one wife so later on (after another seven years of servitude) he finally gets his prize by marrying Rachel, too. The only physical description of Leah/Leia we get from the Bible is in Genesis 29:17: “Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.” While the Bible contrasts the beautiful Rachel with the “weak eyed” Leah, the Lord blesses Leah with more children (which really bothered Rachel). The name Leah has been a popular choice in the Jewish naming tradition; she is seen as a symbol of a fruitful marriage building up the tribes of Israel. The Puritans adopted the name Leah during the Reformation and it has since become just as widespread among Christians. In the Bible, Leah played second-fiddle to her more beautiful sister Rachel so the Puritans liked the name for its humility and modesty."

Taken against his will to a jungle moon, he was released and hunted for sport. Chewie would not give up without a fight, however, and worked with new ally and fellow captive Ahsoka Tano to stage a revolt. Together, they defeated the Trandoshans and returned to their respective homes. As Wookiees had good relations with Yoda, they welcomed the Jedi Master and clone troopers to Kashyyyk, their homeworld. During one of the Clone Wars’ final battles, Chewbacca fought against Separatist droids alongside Republic forces -- until the execution of Order 66. In an effort to save Yoda, Chewbacca and fellow Wookiee Tarfful led the Jedi to a secret escape pod and evacuated him from the planet."

From brown to white, cage-free to omega-3 here’s what you need to know when purchasing eggs to hard-boil. Brown: Brown eggs come from chickens, just like white eggs do. The difference is just in the coloring of the hen, with brown hens laying brown eggs and white hens laying white eggs (though there are rare exceptions). Cage-Free: Cage-free eggs refer to where the hens are kept. Cage-free usually refers to hens who have been living in an open barn setting (and not kept directly within a cage)."

"text": "\"With egg dyeing upon us, many may be wondering how long hard-boiled eggs can be kept before they spoil. Generally, hard-boiled eggs can last a week in the refrigerator. Even with its natural (but easily cracked) calcium-carbonate container, a hard-cooked egg is a perishable food, so it shouldn't be kept at room temperature for more than two hours. Did you know? Raw eggs keep a lot longer Interestingly, hard-boiled eggs do not keep nearly as long as raw eggs, which can last three to five weeks in the refrigerator. There is a good reason for this. When a hen lays an egg, it puts a naturally protective coating on the outside of the shell. The bad news is, during the washing and sanitizing process before packaging, eggs lose that coating. But the good news is, processors replace it with a tasteless, natural mineral oil coating. However, that coating is removed when you hard-boil the egg."

"text": "If you're planning to decorate Easter eggs, or if you use hard-boiled eggs for your Easter egg hunt, it's a good idea to brush up on your food safety knowledge. This is true for conventional eggs, organic eggs, local eggs or eggs from your neighborhood farmers' market—even if you're not planning to eat them. Eggs are high in protein, and they have a lot of moisture in them, two factors that make them a target for the bacteria that can make you sick. Anytime you handle uncooked eggs, you're potentially exposing yourself to, among other things, the Salmonella bacteria, which is the number-one cause of food-related illness. But uncooked eggs aren't the only potential pitfall. Hiding hard-boiled eggs outdoors exposes them to temperatures that promote the growth of these pathogens, as well as other hazards, pet-related and what-have-you. Here are a dozen egg safety tips to help make sure you or someone else doesn't end up with a case of food poisoning. Keep Everything Clean Wash utensils, countertops and other surfaces that eggs come in contact with. That includes washing your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water before and after handling raw eggs or cooked eggs that will be eaten. Have Two Sets of Eggs Use one set of eggs for decorating and hunting, and another for eating."

"text": "Food & Drink Cooking & Recipes How long can soft boiled eggs stay in the fridge? I'm just concerned about the yolk. If it's not cooked firmly, might it be bad to heat it up and then cool it down and eat? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: While eggs will keep in your refrigerator for several weeks, it's important to note that they can lose some quality. A little known fact about eggs is that they can absorb odors from your refrigerator if stored in an open container, although this shouldn't be a major problem unless you're storing eggs along side opened containers of onions and garlic or other such strong smelly foods. Once out of the shell, you can keep eggs whites for about a week in the refrigerator and egg yolks will keep for two or three days, although be sure to cover them with water). Boiled - Put your eggs in a pot (avoid aluminum as it will darken) and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the pot to a boil over high or medium high heat, then lower the heat and simmer. Depending on the size of your egg, they will need to simmer for 2-3 minutes for soft boiled, about 4-5 minutes for medium and 15-20 minutes for hard boiled."

"text": "18 Foods You Don’t Need To Refrigerateby Jaime Mc Leod | Posted In: Home and Garden Humans have been preserving food with snow and ice for at least 3,000 years, but the first commercial refrigerators, produced around the turn of the 20th Century, were a game-changer. Home refrigeration units made it possible for the first time in history to keep perishable foods fresh in quantity. But every advance comes with a dark side. In the case of refrigerators, one downside is that many people store everything in the fridge, regardless of whether it needs to be. While some foods absolutely require refrigeration, many don’t, and others that should be left at room temperature. Here’s a list of foods that do better if you skip the fridge. Foods You Don’t Have To Refrigerate: Tomatoes: If you take nothing else away from this article, please heed this. Never, ever, under any circumstances, store tomatoes in the refrigerator. Tomatoes begin to lose their flavor and texture when put in the fridge, turning mealy, mushy, and flavorless. Leave them right out on the counter."

"text": "What You Might Not Know About Fresh Chicken Eggs October 31, 2013Food Production, Raising Chickens If you’ve never owned backyard chickens, there are a few things about fresh eggs that you might not have ever known. Fresh eggs are actually quite different from store-bought eggs in a number of ways. Not only are they better for you nutritionally, particularly if the hens are free range (and I mean truly free to roam the land), but fresh eggs have a few other aspects that one should keep in mind before getting a flock of your own. Free Range Yolks Are Darker and Tastier Depending on how much the hens have been able to free range, the yolk can be considerably darker than we’re used to seeing from store bought eggs. I remember the first time I cracked one of our home grown eggs. I was shocked by a dark orange yolk- very different from the pale yellow I was used to from conventional eggs. I was almost afraid to eat it. Was it safe? Of course, that darker shade is only evidence of a healthy diet of grass and bugs, and is not only perfectly safe to eat, but is much tastier and nutritious than those other anemic versions. Fresh Eggs Last For Months."

It's not so straightforward with hard-boiled Easter eggs, though. If they've been at room temperature for more than two hours, throw them out.

Pin 103 Share 106 Tweet Stumble Yum Email Sell Date of Eggs – Date Codes on Egg Cartons The freshness of an egg is not only determined by the date when the egg was laid, but also by the way the egg has been stored. Proper handling and storage is perhaps the most important factor in determining freshness. If a freshly laid egg is left at room temperature for a full day, it will not be as fresh as a week old egg that has been refrigerated between 33 degrees F. and 40 degrees F. from the time it was laid. Photo from COOK IT QUICK! University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension According to the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA): Many eggs reach stores only a few days after the hen lays them. Egg cartons with the USDA grade shield on them, indicating they came from a USDA-inspected plant, must display the ‘pack date’ (the day that the eggs were washed, graded, and placed in the carton). The number is a three-digit code that represents the consecutive day of the year (the ‘Julian Date’) starting with January 1 as 001 and ending with December 31 as 365.

Calculating your own hardwood installation prices is not straightforward, proper consideration of many factors is necessary to get an accurate estimate of the total cost to install hardwood flooring. Here we explain each factor, with pricing, and summarize installation costs in a convenient table below. Calculating Reasonable Hardwood Flooring Cost Estimates Hardwood flooring installers expect homeowners to get a wood floor installation estimate from several companies, so they aim for a price point which will be as competitive as possible while allowing them to cover their expenses and make a fair profit. In the US, most flooring contractors make a total net profit—the profit after all expenses including taxes – of 3 to 7 percent."

"text": "Hardwood Flooring The Cost to Refinish Hardwood Floors By Joseph Lewitin Updated 03/04/18Share Pin Email David Papazian/Digital Vision/Getty Images One of the great things about having a hardwood floor is that even when it eventually wears down and starts to show signs of age, you have the option of refinishing the material to completely revitalize it. This involves sanding down the surface past any finish or blemishes and then re-applying color treatments and seal. The finished product will look like a completely new hardwood floor and can be achieved for a fraction of the price of a new installation. Average Price to Refinish Hardwood Floors$1.50 per sq ft - $5.00 per sqft Average Price for New Hardwood Flooring Materials Starts at $8.00 per sq ft and goes up from there. The price of a refinishing project is determined by the materials, the equipment used, and the number of hours of labor that it takes to perform the job. In general, for a basic refinishing job, it will take a contractor about 4-5 hours per 100 square feet of space. More About Hardwood Flooring Hardwood Bedroom Flooring Hardwood Floors in Living Rooms Hardwood Flooring in Kitchens Challenges Facing Hardwood Bathrooms Labor Costs There are four major labor parts of a hardwood refinishing project that need to be accounted for in any estimate. Preparation Work This involves getting the floor ready to be refinished and will consist of things like repairing damaged areas, cleaning it thoroughly, and then ensuring that the surface is completely dry and free of any particles before proceeding. Sanding This is where you actually grind the material using a sanding machine, in order to take the hardwood floors surface down below the level where any blemishes or treatments have penetrated. Staining Once the floor has been sanded down, it will be like brand new, untreated material."

Hardwood floor vacuums have some specific features which make them ideal for wood floors. And what are those features, I hear you ask? First up are the rubber wheels which are always better quality than plastic. Next, since you don’t want your brush to scratch the hardwood floor, a revolving brush is a must. Finally, attachments such as microfiber or softer bristles than can easily sniff dust are also worth a look. Feeling lost in the jargon? Don’t know where to start?

"text": "The right flooring for your basement Any basement remodel or renovation needs to consider water damage6by Romana King February 25th, 2015Renovating or remodelling your basement? Then you’ll need to consider water. That’s because the biggest nemesis for any basement flooring is water damage—and this threat comes with a hefty price tag. Last year, the average Ontario water claim cost $28,000—and this average includes a lot of $5,000 clean-up jobs as well as a few massive $150,000 claims that require five or six months to repair, says one insurance insider. For cost-conscious homeowners, then, planning a basement renovation or remodel needs to include materials that water-resistant (or, at the very least, hold up well under damp conditions). Let’s start with flooring—the area most prone to pooling and water damage. Polished concrete floors (husqvarna.com)Thumbs up: Concrete & Ceramic Tiles The best flooring options when it comes to waterproofing is sealed concrete (with epoxy paint or sealer) or ceramic tile. Sealed concrete is durable but a bit pricey—for a 20×20 foot room you’re starting price for a finished job is $3,500. Ceramic tile is not as durable—it can chip or crack—and will cost about the same as concrete. The problem, of course, is that concrete and tile floors don’t really fit our modern family-den or personal-retreat standards—unless you’re going for a modernist or minimalist look (something my husband keeps threatening to do if I don’t tame the paper-dragon and the kids’ don’t pick up their toys)."

If you play with an electronic dartboard, then the soft tip darts are not a problem when they ricochet off the board. The big problem comes from those playing with real dartboards that require steel tip darts. When those darts bounce off the board, then damage can occur to your floors. We've seen countless dents in hardwood floors due to inadvertent darts flying back from the board and landing on the floors. There are even some players who miss the dartboard completely and the dart falls to the ground - often with the steel tip doing some serious damage. The good news is, there are solutions to protecting your flooring around the dartboard. A good dart mat, often padded or made with vinyl, is the safest route to go. Where can you find one?

Flag Are kangaroos carnivores omnivores or herbivores? Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 292KPassionate about all things Australian It depends on the species, although no species of kangaroos is carnivorous. The animals most commonly known as kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals. Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud. These kangaroos include the larger red and grey kangaroos, as well as wallaroos, wallabies, quokkas, potoroos and bettongs/rat-kangaroos. Bettongs also eat fungi and tubers. Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit."

"text": "\"Basic Anatomy Shows Humans are Herbivores, Not Carnivores!One quick look into the body of a true carnivore will show you that humans are herbivores and have adapted to be omnivores, but we're not built to successfully eat animal flesh. We do take advantage of our dominion over them to catch them by any means we can, but we are not anatomically built to eat animals. One of the least educated arguments I've heard against veganism is the, \"\"humans were made to eat animals\"\" theory. People tell me this quite seriously and I think they truly believe that our bodies are designed to devour other animals. True carnivores are built with specialized body parts to help them kill, rip apart, and digest other animals. One of the easiest ways to demonstrate this concept is through pictures- take a look at our body parts and compare them to the parts of carnivores like sharks, lions, tigers, falcons, hawks, eagles, crocodiles, wolves, foxes, and polar bears. Are they closer to the parts on herbivores like horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cows, zebras, elephants, rhinoceroses, deer, and rabbits?1. Carnivores Have Claws and Talons Carnivorous animals often use their limbs to assist with catching and killing of prey and thus have sharp claws, talons, or nails made to latch onto another animal, hold them down, and rip them apart. Omnivores and herbivores have flat feet with blunt fingernails to protect their fingers from objects bumping or poking them. Sound familiar?"

"text": "\"Food & Drink Vegetarian & Vegan Are humans by nature omnivores herbivores or carnivores? I've heard all my life that humans are omnivores, but I have been looking at quite a few places online and now I am not so sure. Are humans best suited to eat meat or are we best suited to be herbivores?2 following 24 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: From my own analysis of the anatomical data of humans, in comparison to that of the general anatomical similarities of herbivores and those of omnivores, it is quite easy to tell that we as humans share many more anatomical similarities than we do with omnivores. This means that humans are much more similar to herbivores than we are to omnivores. The problem with most people's conclusion that humans are omnivores is that they don't take into account the factors of culture, custom and training. They see that humans eat meat, and believe that they are by nature omnivores because of this. If they take into account culture and customs, and instead look at the human body to find out what sort of diet our bodies are best suited for, you find a much different conclusion than that of a majority of people. Just a few examples for you of similarities between humans and herbivores: 1. The length of our digestive tract. omnivores have usually 4-6x their body length, where as humans and omnivores in general have a digestive track length close to 10-12x their body length."

Flag Are tiger sharks omnivores carnivores or herbivores? Answer by Least Duck Confidence votes 94.8KScientists recently discovered a picture that is worth 1,001 words. Tiger sharks are all of the above, according to Dr. Erich K. Ritter. Tiger sharks are noted for having the widest food spectrum of all sharks. They can eat almost anything, from turtles to birds, as well as other sharks and fish. Besides normal prey they even eat garbage like tires, nails or car license plates, as sometimes documented by examinations of their stomach contents. For this reason they acquired the reputation of being \"\"garbage eaters\"\" and were considered primitive. In reality, it is exactly their diverse food palette and unique chewing mechanism which today puts them into a different light, for their apparent lack of specialization indicates a much higher development. Tiger sharks are special because they feed on a broad spectrum of prey rather than being specialized on specific prey."

Here is an example of a simple food chain:grass → cow → human Take care - the arrow points to the organism that is doing the eating. If you get the arrows the wrong way round, instead of showing that humans eat cows, you are showing that cows eat humans, and that grass eats cows.

Omnivore ( / ˈ ɒ m n ɪ v ɔːr /) is a consumption classification for animals that have the capability to obtain chemical energy and nutrients from materials originating from plant and animal origin. Often, omnivores also have the ability to incorporate food sources such as algae, fungi, and bacteria into their diet as well. [ 3] [4] [5]Omnivores come from diverse backgrounds that often independently evolved sophisticated consumption capabilities. For instance, dogs evolved from primarily carnivorous organisms ( Carnivora) while pigs evolved from primarily herbivorous organisms ( Artiodactyla ). [ 6] [7] [8] What this means is that physical characteristics are often not reliable indicators of whether an animal has the ability to obtain energy and nutrients from both plant and animal matter. Owing to the wide range of entirely unrelated organisms independently evolving the capability to obtain energy and nutrients from both plant and animal materials, no generalizations about the anatomical features of all omnivores can realistically be made. [ 9]The variety of different animals that are classified as omnivores can be placed into further categories depending on their feeding behaviors.

The nuts have long been used as a source of food, and the trees have also been bred to produce specific economically viable hybrids. It can be difficult to find true hickory nuts for sale, as the trees are not ideally suited to widespread commercial cultivation. When they are available, the nuts vary in quality, shape, and size, depending on the species. The hickory tree is in the walnut family, and the trees do look like walnuts at a glance. They are densely branched, with pinnately compound leaves. The leaves are very mildly serrated, and trees produce catkins in the spring. Some of these catkins will mature into hickory nuts if they are properly fertilized. Like other nuts in the walnut family, the hickory nut is hard shelled and covered in a woody outer layer. The trees are also cultivated for their highly commercially useful wood, which is often used in smoking and furniture making."

They also make an attractive hedgerow or individual planting that grows about 10 feet tall and wide. Once established, they can produce heavily and consistently. Growing Hazelnuts - Propagation Hazelnuts can be propagated in two ways: You can start new plants from nuts. They tend to take some time to germinate, and do best when planted in pots with light potting soil. When they do germinate, let them grow to at least 6 - 12 inches before you transplant them in their final home. If you try this method, use a file to scribe a small notch through the shell of the nut before planting. This is supposed to aid in quicker germination, and a higher percentage of overall germination. An easier way to propagate is by digging starts from established bushes (if you can actually find source plants)."

In the United States, filberts often are called cobnuts.but whatever you call them, they are a versatile nut used in desserts and baking, in candy, for making liqueurs or for flavoring coffee and other beverages. Filberts are also used in savory dishes, and they pair well with lamb, for instance. Nutrition Information About one cup of filberts, the equivalent of 135 grams, contain 126 percent of the fat you need in a 2,000 calorie diet. They are high in dietary fiber, providing 52 percent of the daily requirement, and also provide 20 grams of protein, 40 percent of the ADR. Preparing Your Filberts. No matter what recipe you have in front of you, you need to shell and skin your filberts. Use your nutcracker to break the hard outer shell and lay the meat of the nut in a single row on a baking sheet."

Hazelnuts, which also are called filbert nuts and cobnuts, look a bit like acorns when they're in the shell. They can cause food allergy symptoms that range from mild to severe. You'll find hazelnuts by themselves, in mixed nut snacks, and in confections such as praline. They're also used to make chocolate nut spreads such as the popular product Nutella, and to make Frangelico liqueur. Hazelnut Allergy Symptoms If you have an allergy to hazelnuts, symptoms can occur within two hours of consuming hazelnuts or food containing them. These symptoms may include:hives or eczema on your skinallergic conjunctivitis in your eyesnausea, abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrheawheezing, coughing or a runny noseswelling of lips, tongue, or face (known as angioedema)anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate medical care Birch Pollen Allergy?

Enjoy them roasted (on an open fire...or in the oven), munched naked straight out of the shell, or baked with herbs and pulses to create a satisfying vegetarian alternative to traditional roast meats. Nuts are highly nutritious but eat them in any quantity and your wallet will take a fair whack. The solution, as with any premium produce, is to grow them yourself. Many of the kitchen gardeners I speak to about nuts are put off by the thought of growing them. They need lots of space, right? It's easy to see why this prejudice exists when you think of the grandeur of a mature sweet chestnut or the statuesque beauty of a walnut tree. But this isn't the complete picture. Some nuts, including hazelnuts, are perfectly suited to garden growing – and they'll put on quite a show while they're at it.

Harvesting the nuts is a dangerous occupation because the heavy, falling pods cannot be seen as they crash to the ground. The pods contain between 8-24 nuts that are each enclosed in individual shells. These pods are generally opened on the spot, and the nuts move down the river, through various collection points to central gathering areas in the sea towns. Shelled nuts are graded and packed for export while the whole nuts are loaded on ships where they are ventilated and dried on their way to world markets. Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, a powerful antioxidant."

One of the recipes that I was playing around with called for peeled hazelnuts, but I figured they would be a cinch to remove – however, I quickly realized that was not the case. Hazelnut skins are stubborn – mighty stubborn. Since picking papery peels off of 1 cup of hazelnuts sounded less than awesome, I did a little research and decided to use the roast and rub method. Essentially you roast the hazelnuts at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the nuts have darkened a bit and you can smell the nutty goodness wafting through your kitchen. Next, you place the hot nuts into a slightly dampened kitchen towel and rub the skins off using the towel. Apparently the combination of moisture and heat helps to loosen the skins. Well, this worked – sort of. After rubbing and rubbing and rubbing, many of the hazelnuts were still flecked with pieces of brown skin which pretty much annoyed the heck out of me. I knew there had to be a better way."

More recently, hazelnuts have been making their mark in kitchens across the country as an ingredient to pair with savoury ingredients such as meat, seafood and vegetables. Regardless of how you eat them, hazelnuts are worth adding to your diet thanks to their exceptional nutrient profile. This month we're hailing all things hazelnut!Nutrition Notes When it comes the heart health benefits of nuts, hazelnuts are often overlooked. Almonds and walnuts usually steal the spotlight, but it turns out the humble hazelnut also deserves a place in your heart healthy diet. Like many other nuts, hazelnuts are rich in unsaturated fat and they're a good source of protein, fibre and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Perhaps most notable is hazelnut's high monounsaturated fat content - the same type of fat found in olive oil. In 2003, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved a health claim linking nut consumption to heart health. The claim states that eating as little as 1.5 ounces (43 grams) of nuts per day, including hazelnuts, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A 1/4-cup (50 ml) serving of hazelnuts contains 18 grams of total fat and 15 of them are heart healthy monounsaturated fat."

"text": "\"The History of Nuts Recently there was an archeological dig in Israel where researchers found evidence showing that nuts formed a major part of man's diet 780,000 years ago. Seven varieties of nuts along with stone tools to crack open the nuts were found buried deep in a bog. The nuts were wild almond, prickly water lily, water chestnut and 2 varieties of both acorns and pistachios. The pistachios and water chestnut are similar to those found in the Far East and northern Europe today. Some 50 pitted stones with at least one depression were found at the Israel site. The depression in the stones appeared to have been formed when the stones were used to crack open large quantities of hard nuts. These stone tools, called \"\"nutting stones\"\", are similar to those found in the United States and Europe which archeologists date back 4,000 to 8,000 years. These early Native Americans would place a nut in the depression of the stone, then hit it with another stone called the \"\"hammer stone\"\" The shelled nuts were eaten whole, and also were ground with mortar and pestle to make flour, or a nut butter. Nuts used were beech nuts, chestnuts, hickory nuts, and walnuts. After removing the nutmeats, the shells were used to fuel their fires."

It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and can be so severe that the pain is disabling. Warning symptoms known as aura may occur before or with the headache. These can include flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling on one side of the face or in your arm or leg. Medications can help prevent some migraines and make them less painful. Talk to your doctor about different migraine treatment options if you can't find relief. The right medicines, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, may help. Symptoms Migraines often begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood.

The experience of hot flashes can range between delicate flushes and a sensation of engulfing flames. Hot flashes result from the body's reaction to a decreased supply of the hormone estrogen, which occurs naturally as women approach menopause. Not all women experience hot flashes, but more than half do. For some women, estrogen production decreases gradually, producing fewer hot flashes."

"text": "Conditions Conditions Perimenopause Symptoms You Can't Ignore & What to Do About Them Perimenopause Symptoms You Can’t Ignore & What to Do About Them1038 16 6954When women reach a certain age, menopause symptoms begin to show themselves, sometimes even before hitting menopause. This is called perimenopause, and perimenopause symptoms can be just as challenging to deal with. While perimenopause and menopause are both natural parts of aging, and therefore not necessarily “problems to solve,” it’s normal and expected to experience changes and certain symptoms during this transition. Just as with pregnancy, labor and other reproductive changes (even puberty), taking steps to manage your expectations and lower symptoms can help make this sometimes-unpredictable time period a bit easier. According to research done by the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco, “The biggest time for changes for women in terms of behavior and symptoms is in the perimenopause years, when estrogen and progesterone fluctuate the most in the female brain.” ( 1)While not every woman going through the stages of menopause experiences side effects or any decrease in quality of life, many do. The degree to which you struggle with perimenopause symptoms and menopause has a lot to do with several factors that make your body unique, including your personal medical history, genetics, the quality of your diet, how active you are and your stress levels. By making certain lifestyle changes before and during the phases of menopause — for example, regarding the foods you choose to eat (and don’t eat), herbal medicines or supplements you take, and stress-reducing practices you make apart of your regular routine — you’re likely be able to find some relief from menopause and perimenopause symptoms and better handle the hormonal changes associated with this important time of life. What Is Perimenopause? A women’s reproductive life is split into three major time periods: ( 2)The years of active reproduction/fertility The menopausal years (including perimenopause)And the postmenopause years The process that most people refer to as “menopause” can actually be divided into three parts: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause."

"text": "When PMS comes around again this month, you might believe your only option is to just push through the headaches, bloating, cramps and misery until it’s over and you can get back to your life. But the consequences of PMS really don’t disappear. If you suffer from PMS month after month, it’s a clear sign that your hormones are imbalanced. Unfortunately there are long-term implications for your health and happiness when monthly hormone cycles are out of whack. Having PMS now can equal difficult menopause symptoms later A 2004 study shows that women with PMS are twice as likely to suffer hot flashes and mood swings during perimenopause as those without PMS. Women with PMS are also more likely to endure poor sleep and low sex drive as they near menopause. There is good reason for this connection: hormones. Estrogen and progesterone are key reproductive hormones that wax and wane over the course of each month. Symptoms of PMS often arise when the level of estrogen is high compared to progesterone. Some possible reasons for this are: Slow estrogen metabolism in the liver Extra estrogen from excess belly fat Exposure to endocrine disruptors in the environment (pesticides, phthalates, BPA, etc.)."

"text": "Perimenopause- What is it?by Tori Hudson, N. D. More than ever before, women are entering menopause, educating themselves, asking their doctors questions, and requesting information about options for treatment. No two women’s menopause transition is alike and women themselves, educators, and health care practitioners are experiencing the challenge of evaluating and managing each woman individually to achieve optimal results and optimal health. Many women begin to experience an array of physical and mental emotional symptoms long before they meet the definition of menopause. These changes that occur over as much as several years usually from around age 40 to 51 are a transition period called perimenopause. Menopause is the proper term used after 12 months since the last menstrual period. During perimenopause, several biological changes occur: The number of ovarian eggs (oocytes) have reached very low levels from 1-2 million at birth to only a few thousand.1-3The menstrual cycle begins to vary typically to a shorter cycle from one menses to the next. This is due to a shortened length of the first half of the cycle (follicular phase).4,5An increasing number of anovulatory cycles and subsequently a significant lowering of progesterone levels, which may explain many of the early perimenopausal symptoms even more so than the decline in estrogen levels. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) increases at a rate greater than luteinizing hormone (LH) even though the cycles are still regular. This rise in FSH is one of the first signs of reproductive aging. This observation is most easily made in the early part of the follicular phase when estradiol levels are lower."

It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and can be so severe that the pain is disabling. Warning symptoms known as aura may occur before or with the headache. These can include flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling on one side of the face or in your arm or leg. Medications can help prevent some migraines and make them less painful. Talk to your doctor about different migraine treatment options if you can't find relief. The right medicines, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, may help. Symptoms Migraines often begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. Migraines may progress through four stages: prodrome, aura, headache and post-drome, though you may not experience all stages."

Contributions to HSAs are tax deductible, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax free. The 2018 limit for individual coverage is 3,450 and $6,900 for family plans, with catch-up contributions of an additional $1,000 at age 55.

It even helps when saving for retirement. What is a Health Savings Account? An HSA is a type of tax-advantaged savings account designed specifically for healthcare-related expenses.

Expenses like medical supplies, eyeglasses, and hospital services can be deductible. And some expenses must meet certain requirements to be deductible. Let’s look at what can and can’t be deducted. Deductible Expenses Here’s a partial list of deductible expenses: Equipment and supplies – You may deduct any expenses relating to back supports, crutches, and wheelchairs, to name a few items. Artificial limbs and eyes may be deducted. If you have impaired hearing, you may deduct hearing aids. Buying a wig may be deductible if it’s advised by a doctor for a patient’s mental health. Dental services – Dental x-rays are considered preventive health measures and can be deducted."

You'll have to report your 529 plan spending to the IRS, so keeping careful records is important. Decide ahead of time how you'll withdraw the funds and use them. You'll also want to plan ahead for any tax credits you may qualify for, which could help you decide how much you need to take from your 529 account.529 savings plans aren't just for college anymore. As of 2018, you can spend up to $10,000 from a 529 plan on tuition expenses for elementary, middle, or high school. Year after year, you and your child have been saving for college through a 529 savings account. Now college is closer and it's time to think about spending the money you've put aside. You’ll be in control of how much is withdrawn and how it'll be used, but there are a few things you need to know up front to make the most of your savings. First a reminder—you can save up to $15,000 per parent in a 529 account, or $30,000 per couple."

"text": "Can you write off medical expenses on your tax return? First off, most people fall short in their financial plan because they don’t put a proactive tax management strategy in place. So often people are not sure if they can take a medical expense deduction, so they do not even research it. The general rule is a taxpayer may deduct expenses paid for medical care. These can be expenses of the taxpayer, their spouse, or a even a dependent to the extent that the expenses exceed 7.5% of Adjusted Gross Income in 2012 and 10% of their AGI beginning in 2013. AGI is the number on the bottom of page one of your tax return. You can also deduct things like mileage and travel essential to the medical care, Long Term Care services, even insurance premiums covering medical care or long term care. The biggest trap is medicines. Drugs must be prescribed by a doctor to qualify. You should always talk to your financial advisor or a qualified CPA before making any decisions."

By Mayo Clinic Staff Perhaps you've thought about getting a hearing aid, but you're worried about how it will look or whether it will really help. It may help ease your concerns to know more about: The hearing aid options available to you What to look for when buying a hearing aid How to get used to it Hearing aids can't restore normal hearing. They can improve your hearing by amplifying soft sounds, helping you hear sounds that you've had trouble hearing. How hearing aids work Hearing aids use the same basic parts to carry sounds from the environment into your ear and make them louder. Most hearing aids are digital, and all are powered with a hearing aid battery. Small microphones collect sounds from the environment. A computer chip with an amplifier converts the incoming sound into digital code."

Definition of bilateral hearing loss A bilateral hearing loss is a hearing loss in both ears. The bilateral hearing loss may be caused by factors in the outer, middle or inner ear or a combination of these areas. The symptoms of a bilateral hearing loss are reduced hearing in both ears. A bilateral hearing loss can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. When it is symmetrical, the hearing loss is about the same in both ears. When it is asymmetrical the one ear hears better than the other, but in both cases there is a hearing loss in both ears. Causes of bilateral hearing loss A bilateral hearing loss can be caused by many factors. The most common causes are: age, noise exposure, heredity (genes) and medication, which all mostly lead to a sensorineural hearing loss."

Editor's Note: This article was the winning submission for the Audiology Online ( www.audiologyonline.com) contest sponsored by Rayovac Ultra Pro Line, for the best new article written for consumers and patients, titled \"\"Hearing Aids: Reasonable Expectations for the Consumer.\"\" We offer Dr. Allen our congratulations for her excellent work, and we invite the readers to download (in it's entirety) and distribute this article to their patients for educational purposes. ---Editor INTRODUCTION: Since you are considering the purchase of hearing aids, it's important for you to establish reasonable expectations from these highly sophisticated, miniature devices. Acquiring hearing aids is not merely a simple act of going to a store and purchasing a product. Rather, it is a complex process - one that evolves over time and begins with the hearing-impaired individual accepting the realization that hearing impairment has detrimental effects on interpersonal relationships and safety. The hearing impaired person's motivation to hear well is the single most important factor in determining the success of the hearing aid fitting. It is important to realize that you will not experience the exact same benefits from your hearing aids as your neighbor does. This individuality is a critical component, and I want to emphasize that your expectations should be based on you, your type and degree of hearing loss, your past experiences, and the improvements you personally receive from amplification. The title of this article implies there are \"\"reasonable expectations\"\" for the consumer."

I have an i Phone 6 plus and when I stream sound from my i Phone the sound breaks up and I also get brief connectivity issues. I have worked with my provider but they are out of options. WIDEX must now step up to the plate and fix this issue. Research on the internet has shown that this is an issue plaguing many WIDEX hearing aid users. WIDEX blame the i Phone and do not seem to be doing anything about it. I have NO issues with Bluetooth on any other devices, only my WIDEX hearing aids.

When one ear is slightly better than the other, we learn to favor that ear for the telephone, group conversations, and so forth. It can give the illusion that \"\"the better ear\"\" is normal when it isn't. Most types of hearing loss affect both ears fairly equally, and about 90% of patients are in need of hearing aids for both ears."

Hearing aids can make a big difference, especially if you pick the right ones and get help adjusting to them. How Hearing Aids Help A hearing aid is a battery-powered electronic device designed to improve your hearing. Small enough to wear in or behind your ear, they make some sounds louder. They may help you hear better when it's quiet and when it's noisy. Here’s how they work: A microphone picks up sound around you. An amplifier makes the sound louder. A receiver sends these amplified sounds into your ear. Not everyone with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. But only 1 in 5 people who could have improvement wear them."

Not all hearing aids will do well in noisy places however. Hearing aids pick up all sounds. Some hearing aids, such as digital ones, are designed to separate the important sounds from the background noise to help you \"\"focus\"\" your attention on what you need to hear. Hearing aids will help you hear conversations at a reasonable distance. Honestly, hearing aids will not be as effective beyond 15 feet. This is why they are so much more effective in your living room than they are at church or in a conference room. There are other technologies which help in these areas. Hearing aids will often make your voice sound funny or differen t. Right away, your hearing aid will make you hear well for the first time in a long time. Also (depending on the model), they take up space in the ear which changes the way sound resonates in your head."

Types of Hearing Loss Depending on which part of the ear is damaged, hearing loss can be classified by one of four types. Sensorineural Sensorineural hearing loss typically occurs as you get older, but some people are born with this type of loss. Most people say they are able to hear, but don’t always understand what people are saying. It’s often confused with nerve deafness when it’s really due to problems with the inner ear.

Many hearing aid fitting techniques that have been developed over the years have been built on the assumption that hearing loss is similar between the two ears. However, when you approach a case of asymmetrical hearing loss, the fitting path is a bit less clear. There is a good amount of dated literature on fitting asymmetrical hearing losses, but not so much that I can recall recently. In preparation for this course, I reviewed a book chapter by the late Bob Sandlin and Rose Giovanni in one of Michael Valente’s (1994) books, to which I will refer in the course of this presentation. In his most recent Hearing Aids book, Harvey Dillon (2012), spends three or four pages addressing asymmetrical hearing loss. Hopefully I can present some viable strategies that are based on published literature as well as lessons that I have learned over the years in dealing with these complex hearing losses. I will use case examples from patients with whom I have been involved either directly or indirectly."

The most important things to consider when deciding the appropriate style for is your lifestyle, cosmetic preferences, hearing loss, and hearing aid features desired. For many people, the appropriate style ends up being a BTE (behind-the-ear), or a RIC (receiver-in-canal) style. Both styles of devices are very popular today, and for a number of reasons. They are however, very different from each other and have their own advantages and disadvantages. Before deciding on one or the other, it’s a good idea to have a handle on why a particular style might be better or worse for you, and that is what this post will attempt to help you learn. What is a RIC hearing aid? RIC hearing aid RIC is an acronym used describe a style of hearing aid. It stands for receiver-in-canal. This style of hearing aid is also sometimes referred to as RIE (receiver-in-ear), or RITE (receiver-in-the-ear)."

[ 1] Caused by a wide range of biological and environmental factors, loss of hearing can happen to any organism that perceives sound. Sound waves vary in amplitude and in frequency. Amplitude is the sound wave's peak pressure variation. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of a sinusoidal component of a sound wave. Loss of the ability to detect some frequencies, or to detect low-amplitude sounds that an organism naturally detects, is a hearing impairment. They include: Autophony Hyperacusis Tinnitis Tullio phenomena Contents [ show]Loudness, frequency, and discrimination deficiencies Edit Hearing sensitivity is indicated by the quietest sound that an individual can detect, called the hearing threshold. In the case of people and some animals, this threshold can be accurately measured by a behavioral audiogram.

"text": "Mar 19, 2013How Long do Hearing Aid Batteries Last? Although rechargeable hearing aids are growing in popularity, the vast majority of hearing aids today are still powered by traditional hearing aid batteries. These batteries can be divided in to 4 different “size groups”, ranging from smallest to largest: Size 10, 312, 13, and 675. In general, the larger the battery, the longer its lifespan will be, though actual lifespan will vary depending on a number of factors. High-end hearing aids which utilize all of the latest technologies will invariably consume greater power from batteries and diminish overall lifespan, so it would be wrong to assume that the more expensive hearing aids are going to have a better battery life. Don't Buy Hearing Aids Until You Watch This Video!At the time of this post, the most popular battery size is probably the 312 or 10, as these batteries are smaller, and are used in the more discreet devices that most people demand. Size 13 is still quite common among larger in-the-ear and behind-the-ear instruments, and 675 is usually reserved for only high-powered behind-the-ear devices. As stated above, the actual battery life will vary greatly, but a rough breakdown can be seen below: Size 10: 3-5 days Size 312: 6-12 days Size 13: 8-14Size 675: 14-30 days Many people are surprised at the short lifespan of hearing aid batteries, but it is important to remember that these batteries are typically working 12-18 hours a day, and they are powering sophisticated technology. Although the idea of changing batteries so often can seem daunting, keep in mind that hearing aid manufacturers are sensitive to this, and are making it increasingly easier to perform this task. In addition, many providers include an annual or sometimes even lifetime supply of batteries with the sale of hearing instruments to encourage use and reduce recurring costs for hearing aid users."

A 2014 report published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology states, “Tinnitus is one of the most common somatic symptoms to affect humanity.” ( 1 ) In Latin, the word tinnire means “to ring.” What is tinnitus exactly, and might it be the cause for the strange sounds or sensations you’re experiencing in your ears? Most experts refer to tinnitus as the condition that causes ringing in the ears, however other abnormal sounds and sensations can also be attributed to tinnitus. The definition of tinnitus is “the perception of noise or ringing in the ears.” Some also describe this condition as “hearing sounds in the ears when no external sound is present.” Although tinnitus is only a significant problem for about 1 percent to 5 percent of the population, up to 10 percent to 15 percent of all children and adults are believed to experience ringing in the ears at least from time to time."

Hearing aids are classified as medical devices in most countries, and regulated by the respective regulations. Small audio amplifiers such as PSAPs or other plain sound reinforcing systems cannot be sold as \"\"hearing aids\"\". Early devices, such as ear trumpets or ear horns, [1] [2] were passive amplification cones designed to gather sound energy and direct it into the ear canal. Modern devices are computerised electroacoustic systems that transform environmental sound to make it audible, according to audiometrical and cognitive rules. Modern devices also utilize sophisticated digital signal processing to try and improve speech intelligibility and comfort for the user. Such signal processing includes feedback management, wide dynamic range compression, directionality, frequency lowering, and noise reduction. Modern hearing aids require configuration to match the hearing loss, physical features, and lifestyle of the wearer. This process is called \"\"fitting\"\" and is performed by audiologists."

"text": "Hearing Loss Although loss can occur at any age, hearing difficulties at birth or that develop during infancy and the toddler years can have serious consequences. This is because normal hearing is initially needed to understand spoken language and then, later, to produce clear speech. Consequently, if your child experiences hearing loss during infancy and early childhood, it demands immediate attention. Even a temporary but severe hearing loss during this time can make it very difficult for the child to learn proper oral language. Most children experience mild hearing loss when fluid accumulates in the middle ear from allergies or colds. This hearing loss is usually only temporary; normal hearing commonly resumes once the cold and allergies subside and the Eustachian tube (which connects the middle ear to the throat) drains the remaining fluid into the back of the throat. In many children, perhaps 1 in 10, fluid stays in the middle ear following an ear infection because of problems with the Eustachian tube. These children don’t hear as well as they should, and sometimes have delays in talking. Much less common is the permanent kind of hearing loss that always endangers normal speech and language development. Permanent hearing loss varies from mild or partial to complete or total."

"text": "Long QT syndrome (LQTS)Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited heart rhythm disorder affecting approximately 1 in 2500 people. LQTS is caused by mutations in genes that regulate the electrical activity in the heart. People with LQTS may experience palpitations, syncope (fainting), or even sudden death. The name of the condition is based on the EKG pattern present in the majority of individuals with the condition. The QT interval on an EKG represents the time when the heart is relaxing after each heart beat. This interval can be longer than normal in people with LQTS. When the QT interval is prolonged, there is an increased risk for a dangerous heart rhythm. Diagnosing LQTS can be difficult because individuals with the condition do not always have abnormal EKGs and QT prolongation can be intermittent. In fact, about a quarter of people with LQTS have normal EKGs and those with a long QT interval on one EKG may have normal EKGs at other times. Treatment for LQTS is recommended for people with prior symptoms as well as young people without prior symptoms."

Signs and symptoms could include: Pale gray or blue skin color (cyanosis)Rapid breathing Swelling in the legs, abdomen or areas around the eyes Shortness of breath during feedings, leading to poor weight gain Less serious congenital heart defects may not be diagnosed until later in childhood, because your child may not have any noticeable signs of a problem. If signs and symptoms are evident in older children, they may include: Easily becoming short of breath during exercise or activity Easily tiring during exercise or activity Fainting during exercise or activity Swelling in the hands, ankles or feet When to see a doctor Serious congenital heart defects are often diagnosed before or soon after your child is born. If you notice that your baby has any of the signs or symptoms above, call your child's doctor. If your child has any of the signs or symptoms of less serious heart defects as he or she grows, call your child's doctor."

"text": "\"Overview Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heart rhythm condition that can potentially cause fast, chaotic heartbeats. These rapid heartbeats might trigger a sudden fainting spell or seizure. In some cases, the heart can beat erratically for so long that it causes sudden death. You can have a genetic mutation that puts you at risk of being born with congenital long QT syndrome. In addition, certain medications, imbalances of the body's salts and minerals (electrolyte abnormalities), and medical conditions might cause acquired long QT syndrome. Long QT syndrome is treatable. You might need to take medications to prevent an erratic heart rhythm. In some cases, treatment for long QT syndrome involves surgery or an implantable device. You'll also need to avoid certain medications that could trigger your long QT syndrome. After treatment, you likely can live and thrive, even with this condition."

Children with progeria appear healthy, but by the age of 2 years, they look as if they have become old too fast. There are different types of progeria, but the classic type is known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). It is caused by a mutation in the lamin A (LMNA) gene, and it involves severe hardening of the arteries from a young age. Children with this condition live on average for 14 years, because of the likelihood of developing atherosclerosis. Around the world, 134 children are thought to have progeria across 46 countries. It is believed to affect 1 in every 4 million newborns of both sexes and all ethnicities. Thirty years ago, little was known about the cause of progeria. In 2003, a progeria gene was discovered. This has given hope that a cure might one day be found."

Many of these diseases are rare, inherited only when one or both parents pass down the affected gene. Some of these conditions are especially common in certain communities or cultures where the populations are relatively isolated. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a genetic disease in which normal heart tissue is progressively replaced with fat and scar tissue. According to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center, tissue damage occurs predominantly in the right chamber of the heart. People who inherit this genetic disease may develop arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a known cause of sudden death from cardiac arrest in people younger than 30. The condition is especially prevalent in communities in northeast Italy. Brugada Syndrome Brugada syndrome is a life-threatening, frequently inherited disorder characterized by an abnormal heart rhythm, called a Brugada sign, according to the Mayo Clinic. This arrhythmia prevents the chambers of the heart from pumping effectively, preventing blood from traveling normally throughout the body."

The most serious effects of Marfan syndrome can be life-threatening. People with Marfan syndrome are usually tall and thin, with disproportionately long arms, legs, fingers and toes. Patients sometimes also have “arachnodactyly”, which means “spider-like fingers”, since one of the characteristic signs of the disease can include very long fingers and toes. The signs of Marfan syndrome: (left to right) pectus excavatum, positive thumb sign, positive elbow sign, normal spine compared with scoliosis, normal anatomy compared with kyphosis. I will focus here on the cardiovascular problems and risks associated with Marfan Syndrome Cardiac and circulatory abnormalities About 90 percent of Marfan patients will eventually develop cardiac complications, that may include: Aortic enlargement. This is the most serious potential complication of Marfan syndrome. Because of the abnormalities in connective tissue, the walls of the aorta (the large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart) are weaker than normal and tend to stretch and bulge out of shape. This stretching increases the likelihood of an aortic dissection, which is a tear or separation between the layers of tissue that make up the aorta."

HCM is a genetic condition caused by a change or mutation in one or more genes and is passed on through families. Each child of someone with HCM has a 50 per cent chance of inheriting the condition. About 1 in 500 of the UK population has the condition, although most people who have it have few, if any, symptoms. How does HCM affect my heart? If you have HCM, the muscular wall of your heart - the myocardium - becomes thickened, making the heart muscle stiff. This thickening makes it harder for your heart to pump blood out of your heart and around your body. How thick your muscle is, and how much of your muscle is affected, varies from one person to another. The left ventricle (one of your heart's four chambers) is almost always affected, and in some people the muscle of the right ventricle also thickens. What are the symptoms of HCM?"

"text": "Description Familial dilated cardiomyopathy is a genetic form of heart disease. It occurs when heart (cardiac) muscle becomes thin and weakened in at least one chamber of the heart, causing the open area of the chamber to become enlarged (dilated). As a result, the heart is unable to pump blood as efficiently as usual. To compensate, the heart attempts to increase the amount of blood being pumped through the heart, leading to further thinning and weakening of the cardiac muscle. Over time, this condition results in heart failure. It usually takes many years for symptoms of familial dilated cardiomyopathy to cause health problems. They typically begin in mid-adulthood, but can occur at any time from infancy to late adulthood. Signs and symptoms of familial dilated cardiomyopathy can include an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), shortness of breath (dyspnea), extreme tiredness (fatigue), fainting episodes (syncope), and swelling of the legs and feet. In some cases, the first sign of the disorder is sudden cardiac death. The severity of the condition varies among affected individuals, even in members of the same family."

This easy, painless test measures lung function and capacity. To perform this test, you will exhale as forcefully as possible into a tube connected to the spirometer, a small machine. The total volume of air exhaled from your lungs is called the forced vital capacity (FVC). The percentage of the FVC forced out in the first second is called the FEV1.

These include unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, other physical problems and possible developmental delays. Noonan syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation and is acquired when a child inherits a copy of an affected gene from a parent (dominant inheritance). It can also occur as a spontaneous mutation, meaning there's no family history involved. Management of Noonan syndrome focuses on controlling the disorder's symptoms and complications. Growth hormone may be used to treat short stature in some people with Noonan syndrome. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of Noonan syndrome vary greatly among individuals and may be mild to severe. Characteristics may be related to the specific gene containing the mutation. Facial features Facial appearance is one of the key clinical features that leads to a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome."

"text": "\"Genes and human disease Genes and noncommunicable diseases Most diseases involve many genes in complex interactions, in addition to environmental influences. An individual may not be born with a disease but may be at high risk of acquiring it. This is called as genetic predisposition or susceptibility. The genetic susceptibility to a particular disease due to the presence of one or more gene mutations, and/or a combination of alleles need not necessarily be abnormal. WHO's department of Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (NMH) has done extensive work on major noncommunicable diseases, like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and some mental illnesses. In some cases, such as cancer, individuals are born with genes that are altered by lifestyle habits or exposure to chemicals. Cancer, for example, may involve tumour-suppressor genes, genes which suppress tumour formation, which lose their function, thus giving rise to carcinomas. Cardiovascular disease tends to manifest itself in specific ways unique to various communities. For example, African communities tend to have strokes as a result of cardiovascular disease, while south asians tend to have heart attacks. Understanding genetic predisposition to disease and knowledge of lifestyle modifications that either exacerbate the condition or that lessen the potential for diseases (i.e., no smoking or drinking) is necessary for the public to make informed choices."

I would recommend seeing your doctor about them to get checked out. Stress, stimulants such as caffeine, illness, electrolyte imbalance, hormone imbalances, thyroid problems, heart problems can all cause palpitations. I'd see if you can get an ECG from your doc and maybe some bloodwork might be in order.

"text": "Electrodes monitoring the heart (Image by Flickr.com, courtesy of Thomas)Overeating or eating spicy foods can cause indigestion (dyspepsia), which in turn can cause heart palpitations. Whether heart palpitations are serious or not depends on your overall health. If they are caused merely by indigestion, you probably don’t have much to worry about, but truly understanding the cause of your palpitations or irregular heartbeat is critical. Definition The National Library of Health’s Medline Encyclopedia defines heart palpitation as “heartbeat sensations that feel like your heart is pounding or racing.” It is an indication that the heart is momentarily not behaving properly. “ You may simply have an unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat, or may feel skipped or stopped beats.” Although this condition is common and often harmless, it can frighten you. Description Caffeine can cause indigestion, which in turn may lead to heart palpitations. However, arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can also cause palpitations, and this condition is more of a concern. Seek medical attention if your palpitations last longer than two or three minutes."

"text": "\"Have you ever noticed that your heart skips a beat, or \"\"flip flops\"\" from time to time? It’s kind of like a flutter within your chest that might last for just a second or go on so long you find yourself coughing and concerned. If you feel the occasional palpitation, such as after exercise or during a stressful event (like going onstage to speak) this can be normal. However if you are noticing skipped beats more often than not, definitely get in to see your healthcare provider. Assuming it’s not something truly cardiovascular, here are some other options to consider. This Article Improved My Health1Changed My Life1Saved My Life1) Low iron: It is a well-known symptom of low iron to have fatigue, shortness of breath and increased heart palpitations! Make certain your provider checks not only your complete blood count (CBC) for outright anemia but also your ferritin levels which are your iron storage. If either are low or borderline low you should be treated.2) Thyroid problems: Both too much (hyperthyroid) and too little (hypothyroid) can cause heart palpitations. If you are already on thyroid medication make sure to have your levels checked so it can be adjusted appropriately.3) Hormone shifts: Many women going through menopause notice an increase in heart palpitations with the shift in estrogen and progesterone. While testing for hormones can be difficult depending where you are in your cycle (or no cycle), balancing your levels might make a difference.4) Anxiety: Long-term stress can really cause your sympathetic nervous system to rev up your heart rate and cause frequent palpitations."

I take only about 10mg a day in a pill form. By Dr. Mercola: Best Way to Use Progesterone Cream The key mistake that many well intentioned knowledgeable doctors, including myself made is to advise to use the cream on your skin. While this certainly provides better results than swallowing the hormones, it can still be improved. If you apply the cream to your mucous epithelial membranes that line your uterus and vagina you obtain a virtually ideal administration system. Not only is absorption through these membranes more complete than through your skin, but hormones absorbed through your vaginal membranes enter the very same pelvic plexus of veins that your ovaries normally empty into."

According to the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term project of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and Boston University running since 1948, 33% of men and 32% of women have palpitations or atrial premature complexes without heart disease. Your heart is one of the organs in your body that you pay very little attention to until it makes its presence felt. Although love, or the sight of an attractive stranger, is said to make your heart skip a beat, the actual experience is a lot less romantic and a little more frightening. In fact, few things are as frightening as your heart missing a beat. It can be very unnerving to feel your heart beating out of the blue and out of time. When your heart skips a beat you may fear you’re having a heart attack, or that your fluttering heart is the sign of something serious. But should you worry when you feel your heart skip a beat? Is a skipping heart serious , do you need to call 911? And what can you do to prevent palpitations and regulate your heart beat?"

D., Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California Am Fam Physician. 2005 Feb 15;71 (4):743-750. Patient Information Handout Palpitations—sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat—are most often caused by cardiac arrhythmias or anxiety. Most patients with arrhythmias do not complain of palpitations. However, any arrhythmia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, or ventricular tachycardia, can cause palpitations. Palpitations should be considered as potentially more serious if they are associated with dizziness, near-syncope, or syncope. Nonarrhythmic cardiac problems, such as mitral valve prolapse, pericarditis, and congestive heart failure, and noncardiac problems, such as hyperthyroidism, vasovagal syncope, and hypoglycemia, can cause palpitations. Palpitations also can result from stimulant drugs, and over-the-counter and prescription medications. No cause for the palpitations can be found in up to 16 percent of patients."

"text": "\"What are premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)? Readers Comments 14 Share Your Story Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs, PVC) are premature heartbeats originating from the ventricles of the heart. Premature ventricular contractions are premature because they occur before the regular heartbeat. Normal function of the heart The heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers are the atria, and the lower two chambers are the ventricles. The atria deliver blood to the ventricles, and the ventricles deliver blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body. The right ventricle delivers blood to the lungs while the left ventricle delivers blood to the rest of the body. The heartbeat (pulse) that we feel is caused by the contraction of the ventricles. The heartbeat is normally controlled by the electrical system of the heart. The electrical system of the heart consists of the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node and special tissues in the ventricles that conduct electricity."

This activity can sometimes be felt by some people as an abnormal heartbeat. Other causes include fluctuations of blood glucose and its effect on the heart, overeating, and eating spicy foods. In addition, drinking caffeinated beverages such as iced tea and coffee with meals may cause heart palpitations. When other symptoms accompany an abnormal heartbeat after eating, such as chest pain, dizziness, sweating or shortness of breath, further evaluation by a medical professional is recommended. For some people, eating frequent, smaller meals throughout the day is better than eating three large meals. Not only does this routine keep blood sugar levels from rising and falling, it means that the heart doesn't have to work as hard after a meal. In addition, people who suffer from gastroesophagel reflux ( GERD) sometimes experience palpitations, chest pain, and pressure after eating, which can even mimic the symptoms of a heart attack. Eating too quickly and swallowing air can cause pressure in the chest, leading to changes in the heartbeat. While this sensation can provoke anxiety, it is rarely serious."

Stress, exercise, medication or, rarely, a medical condition can trigger them. Although heart palpitations can be worrisome, they're usually harmless. In rare cases, they can be a symptom of a more serious heart condition, such as an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), that might require treatment. Symptoms Heart palpitations can feel like your heart is: Skipping beats Fluttering rapidly Beating too fast Pounding Flip-flopping You might feel heart palpitations in your throat or neck, as well as your chest. They can occur when you're active or at rest. When to see a doctor Palpitations that are infrequent and last only a few seconds usually don't need to be evaluated. If you have a history of heart disease and have palpitations that occur frequently or worsen, talk to your doctor. He or she might suggest heart-monitoring tests to see if your palpitations are caused by a more serious heart problem. Seek emergency medical attention if heart palpitations are accompanied by: Chest discomfort or pain Fainting Severe shortness of breath Severe dizziness Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Often the cause of your heart palpitations can't be found."

If you have frequent symptoms, a holter monitor may identify the cause of the palpitations."

"text": "\"Long QT Syndrome Commonly asked questions What is the normal heart rhythm? It is called \"\"sinus\"\" rhythm, because it originates in the sinus (or sinoatrial) node, the heart's natural pacemaker, and it then spreads through the heart's four pumping chambers, first the two (right and left) atria, then through the atrioventricular node and into the two (right and left) ventricles. What is the QT interval? It is a measurement, made from the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). It reflects the duration of the electrical activity that controls contraction of the cells of the heart muscle. The QT interval is measured in milliseconds (msec). What is the corrected QT interval (QTc)? The QT interval varies with the heart rate; it gets longer when the heart beats slower and is shorter when the heart beats faster. Therefore, in order to know if the QT interval is too long, the QT interval is \"\"corrected\"\" through the use of a mathematical formula to what it would be if the heart rate was 60 beats per minute. This correction formula is usually programmed into the machine that measures your ECG and the corrected QT interval (QTc) value is part of the information printed on the ECG."

Usually they are not related to a serious heart problem. Most palpitations are caused by premature atrial contractions (PACs) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). These are early, extra beats that occur just before the main heartbeat. To find out whether you have harmless palpitations or a heart problem, make an appointment with your doctor. Your checkup will include a physical exam, medical history, and diagnostic tests, if needed. Symptoms Heart palpitations are unusual sensations in the heart. You may feel pounding, racing, or skipped beats, for example. You probably feel symptoms in your chest and possibly in your neck or throat. If your palpitations are common types due to PACs or PVCs, you may feel: As if your heart “skipped” a beat, followed by a strong heartbeat (as if the heart stopped briefly, then restarted)."

"text": "\"Amy Girl VIP Member • 8 years on site • 2075 posts How to Stop Heart Palpitations Heart palpitations. Don't these two words make you shudder with anxiety? Well, maybe the words don't, but the sensations caused by heart palpitations certainly do scare people. In fact, it's the main topic of emails that I get from people who contactme with questions. And given that this anxiety symptom is so common among anxiety sufferers, I thought it would be helpful to do a “how to”article on palpitations. First, a few basics. A heart palpitation is an abnormal beating of the heart AND your heightened awareness of your heart beat. Palpitations can cause your heart to beat fast (tachycardia), slow (bradycardia), flutter, or to even have “skipped” (PVC's) heart beats. Heart palpitations can be caused by electrolyte imbalances, adrenaline, anemia, heart disease, arrhythmias, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and of course, anxiety disorders. There are more causes, but the ones listed are common."

A heart palpitation is when someone has a heightened awareness of their heartbeat because it does not feel right. This may be because their heart is pounding too hard, too fast, too slow, or irregularly. This article explores the causes of heart palpitations, how to test for them, and how they are treated. Contents of this article: Overview Common causes Complications Tests and diagnosis Treatment and prevention Overview Heart palpitations may be felt in the neck, throat, or chest, and may vary greatly from person to person.

When evaluating heart palpitations that you suspect may be caused by wine, it's important to understand and weigh three factors: what a palpitation is, when cardiac arrhythmia is dangerous, and when the heart-healthy benefits of wine consumption may outweigh temporary, benign palpitations.credit: tolgaildun/i Stock/Getty Images Can Wine Cause Heart Palpitations [things_needed_1] [caption id='Can Wine Cause Heart Palpitations1' align='alignnone' width='335'] [/caption]Symptoms Palpitations are recognized by some common features: you will feel an irregularity of the heartbeat, an \"\"uneasy\"\" feeling in the chest, or a \"\"flip-flopping\"\" sensation. Sometimes it feels as though the heart pauses for a moment before continuing. It is not uncommon for the palpitations to be associated with lightheadedness, and some people even lose consciousness. What Causes Palpitations What we perceive as palpitations are generally premature cardiac contractions. We feel the difference in blood volume from beat to beat. What happens is essentially this: the heart beats once and then follows that beat prematurely, giving the heart a split second longer to fill with blood before beat number three. When the heart beats for that third time, the \"\"extra\"\" blood makes the heart contract harder. Wine and Palpitations Wine is, of course, alcohol. Alcohol affects the heart in many ways."

"text": "Home »Flowers Perennial vs. Annual Flowers By S. F. Heron; Updated September 21, 2017Annual and perennial flowers serve as colorful additions in the home landscape. These two types of plants differ in the length of their life cycles. Perennial plants return each year to produce new foliage and flowers after dying off above ground level during the winter. Annual flowers survive for only one season. The most beautiful gardens feature a mix of both annual and perennial flowers to provide consistent color throughout the growing season. Significance The most prolific garden enthusiasts will tell novice gardeners to mix perennials and annuals in the flower garden. The premise behind this mixture begins with basic flower garden design. Flowers blooms at different times of the growing season depending on the particular characteristics of each plant. Perennials tend to bloom for a set 2- to 4-week period and then decorate the garden with remaining foliage. Mixing annuals into the flower garden allows for consistent color between perennial blooming periods."

The Amazon Rainforest alone contains overs 40,000 plant species!The hot, humid climate in the world’s tropical regions provide ideal conditions for plant life. However, there is a lot of competition for sunlight and nutrients. Plants have to adapt to find their place in the ecosystem. Some plants grow faster, some have bigger leaves, and others evolve better defences against predators. As we’ll find, some plants have co-evolved with particular animals, forming relationships in which without one, the other would not be able to survive."

A silhouette of the volcano at sunset Location Arenal Volcano is in Arenal Volcano National Park in the Canton of San Carlos, La Fortuna District in Alajuela Province, Costa Rica. It is about two hours and forty minutes from the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia, Costa Rica, and it’s around three hours from the Juan Santamaria International Airport. It can be reached in a variety of ways including rental car, tour bus or with the domestic airline of Nature Air. Elevation & Size Arenal Volcano stands 1,670 meters above sea level. The crater is 140 meters wide. Arenal is a young volcano by geologic standards, and it is still building. Type of Volcano Arenal is an andesitic stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, and it is shaped like a cone. This puts Arenal in the same category as the most devastating volcanoes on the planet including Krakatoa and Vesuvius. Its impressive height will continue to build over time, because it is only around 7,500 years old."

Most of the Perennials used in the garden are hardy perennials - even if they die down each year. They will be back the following year - more robust and with more flowers! That is why they are known as ' Herbaceous Perennials '. Perennials have the widest range of foliage effects, so suited to all types of garden situations. They are economic - lasting for many years - often for the price of a single bedding plant, such as a geranium - or even a petunia. You do not have to be put of with visions of huge perennial borders. Even the smallest of gardens can be home to a multitude of assorted perennial plants.

These plants are heavily cultivated in tropical areas, and grow profusely in places like Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Bali. It's true they aren't ideal indoor plants—they tend toward being large, and they are really only magnificent during their flowering period, when long strands of red, fantastic flowers hand from the plant. In this sense, they are closely aligned to their cousins, the bird-of-paradise, and banana. However, like these tropical wonders, if you have the right conditions and you're looking for an interesting challenge, a Heliconia is sure to answer that inclination. Keep in mind, though; there are about 400 species of Heliconia. While you might not have much of a selection at your local garden center, if you have the option to buy a newer dwarf cultivar, it will make your life easier in the long run. Growing Conditions: Light: Heliconia thrives in the same conditions as bananas and bird-of-paradise. The can tolerate light conditions from dappled sunlight to full sunlight, especially in northerly latitudes Water: All species of Heliconia require ample and continuous water to thrive.

Heliconia plants can also grow well in North America, in areas where the climate conditions are warm and humid. Heliconias are easy to grow and are a low maintenance plant. Many homeowners who love tropical plants have them in their landscape. Heliconias produce smooth green leaves with, unique long lasting colorful inflorescence tropical flowers. Their blooms and foliage often resemble that of the Canna plant. Heliconias bloom in color combinations of shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, lavender, and green. Their tropical flowers range from erect to huge claw shaped flowers. The colorful flowers are seen popping out of the “bracts” of the plant. The brightly colored bracts will vary in length from inches to several feet."

"text": "Planting Border Perennials When gardeners converse, the words border and perennial are frequently uttered together. They may be talking about gardens known as perennial borders, or border perennials, as the herbaceous perennial plants traditionally grown in those beds came to be called. Herbaceous perennials – generally, plants that die back to the ground in cold winter weather but resume growing in spring – offer gardeners a mind-boggling selection of plant size, flower color and form, and season of bloom. This smorgasbord of choices means that a well-designed border of herbaceous perennials can be a spectacular feature in a garden. But for most gardeners, border perennials are probably at their most useful in a mixed border, in which perennials are inter-planted with woody plants – plants that have woody stems, though they may or may not lose their foliage in winter. In recent decades, as ideas about gardening have changed, many gardeners have opted to take their cue from nature, interpreting in the garden the layering tendencies of plants in the wild. ( If you’ve ever looked at the area where woods border a field, you’ve seen these layers – tree canopy, understory trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and groundcovers. ) Mixed borders give a nod to this concept, allowing woody plants to add structure, height, texture and year-long interest to the garden. “I feel it important that a border have a backbone, so that in the bleak of winter and also through the seasons, the garden looks interesting, alive and pulled together,” says Grace Romero, chief horticulturist for W. Atlee Burpee & Co. “Since most perennials come into and out of their peak seasons, small conifers, trees, and shrubs such as hydrangeas, physocarpus, caryopteris, roses, spiraea, weigela, cornus and viburnums tend to fulfill this function and provide structure. ”Of course, the overall size of your property, the amount of sun it gets, and its climate zone will dictate which woody plants you can grow, and which perennials, too."

Wind tears the banana leaf blade, making it shred into variously wide sections.

Closely related plants to bananas also display large similar-looking leaves and make suitable alternatives. Banana leaves Abyssinian Banana Also in the banana family, Muscaceae is the Abyssinian banana (Ensete ventricosa), with leaves that look exactly like those of the common banana in genus Musa. While common banana leaves tend to arch and drooping from the trunk top, the Abyssinian banana's leaves usually are more rigid and held at an upward angle. The leaves make a rosette crown at the top of the trunk. Some purple-leaved cultivars of Abyssinian banana exist, such as Maurelii. White Bird of Paradise Producing white and purple flowers rather than orange and blue flowers, the white bird of paradise (Strelitzia nicolai) bears large, waxy leaves that resemble banana leaves."

"text": "\"Benefits of Hemp Seeds, Source of Protein and Omega-3 Fatty Acids The hemp seed, comes from the hemp plant, a seedy fibrous species most well-known for its historical use in making textiles, rope and paper. The use of hemp was first documented as an agricultural crop in one of the oldest scientific texts of ancient China, the Xia Xiao Zheng, written approximately 1500 BC. While the hemp plant itself has been grown and used extensively in all parts of the world for thousands of years, large scale use of hemp seeds has really only occurred in the last few decades. This is mostly due to the fact that the tiny seeds need to be mechanically hulled in order to make them edible and pleasant to eat. They are now frequently sold by the pound as a commercial seed variety, promoted by many health enthusiasts as the latest top superfood. This is because the shelled seeds are a highly nutritious food containing more quality plant-based proteins and polyunsaturated fats than most other legumes, nuts and seeds. Hemp and its derived seeds are not the same plant as its THC potent cousin, \"\"marijuana\"\", known for its psychoactive qualities. Therefore, the seeds can't make you \"\"high\"\", they can only make you \"\"healthy. \"\" By comparison, hemp varieties typically contain less than 1% THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, and after shelled, comprises only trace amounts. In other words, you would have to eat many pounds of seeds to get a positive drug test result."

Those of you who have taken civics clearly understand our framers' original intent regarding state and federal power, and as a result will also very clearly see the point of this story - that the question of growing hemp (or not) is an issue for citizens of each state to decide, not some bureaucrat in Washington, D. C. 'Vote Hemp' As the headline suggests, hemp is permissible to grow in several states, but doing so is against federal law because the federal Drug Enforcement Administration has improperly been given regulatory authority over substances and plants like hemp (and the DEA treats hemp the same as marijuana, though hemp is marijuana's poor cousin and contains only a fraction of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana). If our constitutional system still functioned, citizens of these states would not have to fear arrest, fines and detention by an overzealous federal government for growing hemp because under our framers' constitutional system, sovereign states were supposed to be free - short of violating specific constitutional provisions - to largely govern themselves. They would not have to deal with an overzealous federal agency whose unconstitutional regulations carry the force of law.

A wave of xenophobia would doom us to a senseless war on drugs Thor Benson , ATTN:07.02.2015 • 8:15 AM • 65 Comments This article originally appeared on ATTN:. It is hard to imagine a time when most pharmacies carried cannabis and farmers were required to grow hemp, much like they are given incentives to grow corn these days, but that is a significant part of the history of the U. S. From the 1600s to the late 1800s, hemp (a cannabis plant containing very little THC) was harvested on U. S. soil to create materials such as rope, paper, and clothing. In 1619, the Virginia Assembly decided to require farmers to grow hemp for these purposes, according to PBS. Hemp was also used as legal tender in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland around that time. During the 1800s, cannabis products became a popular medicinal substance found in tinctures that were sold in many pharmacies across the nation. It became a requirement to label these over-the-counter medicines containing cannabis, including cocaine and heroin, with the Federal Food and Drugs Act of 1906, but these things were still legal. Around 1910, the Mexican Revolution was starting to boil over, and many Mexicans immigrated to the U. S. to escape the conflict. This Mexican population had its own uses for cannabis, and they referred to it as \"\"marihuana.\"\" Not only did they use it for medicinal purposes, but they smoked it recreationally, which was a new concept for white Americans."

Personal Use Since July 1, 2015, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by adults 21 years old and older is legal anywhere in Oregon, except that its use is prohibited in public places and in public view. Adults, at their home, may also lawfully cultivate four plants per household (again, out of public view), and they may lawfully possess all of the following:eight ounces of dried flowers from the plants;72 ounces of infused liquids;16 ounces of infused solids; andone ounce of extracted oil. ( Note that the oil must be purchased from someone with a license to extract the oil. ) Beginning Oct. 1, 2015, adults 21 years or older will be able to purchase up to one-quarter ounce (7 grams) of marijuana, immature (nonflowering) plants, and seeds from medical marijuana dispensaries. These purchases will be tax free until Jan. 1, 2016, and then be taxed at a rate of 25 percent until that law ends on Dec. 31, 2016.

By Special to Lift April 28, 2016Facebook Twitter Cannabidiol (also known as CBD) is one of the most vital components of marijuana, and it seems to hold the answer to a wide array of medical problems. But because it's derived from cannabis, oil that contains CBD is often confused with hemp oil. Both come from the same plant, contain components sought after for their healthful properties and have established themselves as useful products—albeit for vastly different reasons. These differences are especially important for consumers who may think that both oils provide the same things. Confusing regulations regarding labelling mean that some producers might describe products as medicinal when their effects haven't actually been proven, furthering these misconceptions. Knowing the key differences between the two will help users better discern what to look for when shopping and to know whether they want to add these products to their health regimen. CBD Oil CBD oil is extracted from the stalks, leaves and buds of hemp plants. Typically, strains are chosen that are known to have higher CBD levels in order to maximize the potency of the end product. Extraction process Extraction methods vary, but the safest known process is the oil-based method, wherein the plant is soaked in a carrier oil—typically hemp or olive—to separate the components."

"text": "\"About Marijuana Personal Use Medical Use Industrial Use (Hemp)Fact Sheets Marijuana: A Primer Drug Testing FAQs The term 'marijuana' (sometimes spelled 'marihuana') is Mexican in origin and typically refers to any part of -- or any one of -- the three distinctive subspecies of the cannabis plant: cannabis sativa (which tends to grow tall and stalky), cannabis indica (which tends to grow smaller and bushier), or cannabis ruderalis (found primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe.) Grown outdoors, the cannabis plant typically achieves maturity within three to five months. Cultivated indoors under optimum heat and lighting, the plant may reach maturity within as few as 60 days. Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 100 million Americans. According to government surveys, some 25 million Americans have smoked marijuana in the past year, and more than 14 million do so regularly despite laws against its use. Our public policies should reflect this reality, not deny it. Marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by overdose."

"text": "Medicinal Cannabis & Pets Now that recreational use of cannabis is legal in Oregon many pet guardians wonder about whether using this plant may be beneficial for their pet's ailments and they turn to their veterinarians for advice. However, many Oregon veterinarians will not be able or willing to give any advise on medicinal use of cannabis due to lack of knowledge about herbal medicine or because they are afraid of possible negative legal implications. Legal Considerations Even though recreational marijuana use is legal in Oregon, it is still classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by federal law and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and illegal for all veterinarians to prescribe to their patients. Medical marijuana laws do not apply to veterinarians, only to human physicians and their patients. This is a dilemma for veterinarians and their clients because here in Oregon humans can now legally share their “stash” with their pets within the limitations of potential animal abuse complaints. The Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board (OVMEB) currently advises veterinarians under its jurisdiction to use caution in discussing marijuana use with their clients. Potential complaints by the public about marijuana use in specific veterinary patients could be reviewed by the OVMEB as a non-justified, non-standard treatment and the veterinarian involved could face disciplinary action by the board. Oregon veterinarians recommending medicinal marijuana for a specific patient are required to get written client consent. Hemp vs. Marijuana There are two main cultivars of Cannabis sativa L., non-psychotropic hemp (high in fiber and CBD, low in THC) and psychotrophic marijuana (high THC content). All parts of the cannabis plant have been used for fiber and food by humans since prehistoric times."

Affiliate Disclosure Allow me to begin by clarifying a very important thing: I am not a pothead, a stoner, or a recreational drug enthusiast. Never was. Growing up, I was originally a fantasy-fiction writing, World Of Warcraft dominating geek in my early years, and later in high school and college was a clean-living, well-shaven jock athlete with a substance abuse problem that consisted primarily of copious amounts of creatine, caffeine and canned protein shakes. Until recently, unless you count smoking a very small number of joints at a few random parties in college, about the closest I’ve come to what might be considered “fringe” substance use has been via occasional use of nootropics and herbal extracts like packets of concentrated Chinese herbs, smart drugs like piracetam, anirecatam and alpha-GPC combinations ( see my white powder on a kitchen scale video here) and vaporizing nighttime sleep extracts of melatonin and L-theanine ( yet another creepy video here ). Of course, if you’re a regular podcast listener or you read my recent article on the “ The Effect Of Weed On Exercise: Is Marijuana A Performance-Enhancing Drug? “, then you already know that subsequent to the legalization of weed in my home state of Washington, I’ve been experimenting with edible tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for exercise performance, and also experimenting with vaporizing indica-rich strains of marijuana for creativity, relaxation and sleep. So there: now I’m a bonified druggie. But let’s move on, because in this article, we’re going to delve into a derivative of the cannabis plant family that has some pretty massive payoffs for balancing your endocrine system, relieving anxiety, modulating chronic stress, shutting down inflammation and chronic pain, decreasing blood sugar, decreasing appetite and lowering abdominal obesity. In other words, you’re going to learn about a form of cannabis with none of the psycho-active, paranoia inducing effects of regular weed and all of the benefits."

Whether you agree with it in principle or not, testing for illicit drug use is a reality for many workers in the United States. Drug testing is mandatory for federal employees, and although it isn’t required in the private sector, more employers are implementing some kind (s) of drug screening. When drug testing is mandated, employers almost always follow the SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) guidelines because it puts them on solid legal ground. Typically, there is an overlap between testing guidelines and accepted cutoff levels for drugs and drug metabolites in confirmatory testing and screening. Because THC is widely recognized as being responsible for marijuana’s psychoactivity and euphoria, a routine urine drug screen for marijuana use consists of an immunoassay with antibodies that are made to detect it, and its main metabolite, 11-nor-delta9-caboxy-THC (THC-COOH). SAMHSA has set the cutoff level for a positive urine screen in the immunoassay at 50 ng/m L. When the immunoassay screen is positive at the > 50 ng/m L level, a confirmatory GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) test is performed to verify the positive urine screen. The confirmatory GC/MS has a cutoff level of 15 ng/m L and is specific only to the 11-nor-THCCOOH metabolite."

Medical marijuana has gained popularity in the US since the latter half of the 1990’s, when voters in 8 states showed support for marijuana prescriptions and/or doctor recommendations. Currently, 23 states and Washington DC have enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana, with several other states enacting “cannabidiol bills”, which allow for low THC and high CBD medical marijuana prescriptions. Keep in mind medical marijuana and recreational marijuana are not physically different plants, although some varieties of marijuana may be more popular amongst medical users than recreational users, and vice versa. Standard medical marijuana strains vary in their cannabinoid content, but consistently contain THC levels between 10% and 30%. CBD and other cannabinoids may also be present in significant quantities. Medical Marijuana Indications Each medical marijuana state law includes specific indications for which medical marijuana may be prescribed. Common conditions include nausea and vomiting, cancer, dementia, diabetes, epilepsy, glaucoma, tourette’s syndrome, pain, HIV/AIDS, neurological problems and more. In states where medical marijuana is legal, the products are purchased by consumers through dispensaries, as well as through delivery services, to consumers who have the required authorization from a doctor."

It's a highly useful, highly versatile crop, but its utility is, for the most part, fairly marginal, at least going by the size of its existing markets and estimates for how big a domestic U.

Not that hemp should ever have been illegal, but it’s hard to imagine that if flax or jute were for some reason illegal, such a large, politically-tinged campaign would be organized around legalizing either of them. As with any political movement, hemp activism has generated tons of wildly exaggerated claims, such as when a Daily Kos writer in 2011 declared that “Industrial Hemp can save America. ”But good for the activists, since they appear to be winning, as they should.

"text": "\"Thomas H. Clarke | October 15, 2014With growing national interest surrounding cannabidiol, or CBD, as a treatment for epilepsy and other conditions, there has been a surge of “hemp oil” products on the market nationwide, claiming to be legal CBD treatments because they are derived from industrial hemp, as companies seek to profit from CBD’s growing reputation as a miracle compound. Amid complaints of patients becoming violently ill after taking some of these products, such as “Real Scientific Hemp Oil,” Project CBD, a non-profit organization focusing on cannabidiol research and education, conducted a six month investigation into the business practices of several companies marketing these products. What began as an investigation into a penny stock umbrella company morphed into a 30-page report involving analytical lab tests, hemp oil production tours, and a “crash course in scientific data regarding toxic solvents, heavy metals, and other contaminants. ”Article continues after ad Advertisement The report, titled “HEMP OIL HUSTLERS: A Project CBD Special Report on Medical Marijuana Inc., Hemp Meds and Kannaway”, was published Tuesday by Project CBD, a non-profit organization focusing on cannabidiol research and education. The report sheds some light on the business practices of these three companies, all controlled by the same circle of businessmen, from Kannaway’s multi-level marketing techniques to the “shadowy umbrella corporation known as Medical Marijuana Inc., which has numerous subsidiaries and affiliates.” Both Kannaway and Hemp Meds (formerly Hemp Meds PX) are subsidiaries of Medical Marijuana Inc. The companies claim that their products are legal in all 50 states because oil extracted contains little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and are derived from an imported industrial hemp paste. “We believe that industrial hemp is not an optimal source of CBD, but it can be a viable source of CBD if certain hemp cultivars are grown organically in good soil and safe extraction and refinement methods are employed,” writes Project CBD in the forward of the report, adding that CBD production should be derived from “the most prolific natural source” of cannabidiol available — CBD-rich whole plant cannabis containing little THC.

"text": "Industrial Hemp Facts Industrial hemp is a variety of Cannabis sativa and is of the same plant species as marijuana. However, hemp is genetically different and distinguished by its use and chemical makeup. Industrial hemp refers to cannabis varieties that are primarily grown as an agricultural crop. Hemp plants are low in THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, marijuana's primary psychoactive chemical). Federal legislation that would exclude hemp from the legal definition of marijuana sets a ceiling of 0.3 percent THC for a cannabis variety to be identified as hemp. Marijuana refers to the flowering tops and leaves of psychoactive cannabis varieties, which are grown for their high content of THC. THC levels for marijuana average about 10 percent but can go much higher. Industrial hemp products, production, and markets Hemp products Some estimate that the global market for hemp consists of more than 25,000 products, including:fabrics and textilesyarns and raw or processed spun fiberspapercarpetinghome furnishingsconstruction and insulation materialsauto partscompositesanimal beddingfoods and beveragesbody care productsnutritional supplementsindustrial oilscosmeticspersonal carepharmaceuticals An estimated 55,700 metric tons of industrial hemp are produced around the world each year.

"text": "Difference between Industrial Hemp and Cannabis The difference is in its use. Hemp and Marijuana both come from the same plant - Cannabis Sativa L. The term 'Hemp' commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seed for textiles, foods, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. The term 'marijuana' refers to the medicinal, recreational or spiritual use involving the smoking of cannabis flowers. Industrial hemp contains only about 0.3% - 1.5% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinoids, the intoxicating ingredients that make you high) while marijuana contains about 5% - 10% or more THC. Hemp fibre is the longest, strongest and most durable of all natural fibres. Hemp cultivation requires no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. Grown in rotation with other crops such as corn and legumes, hemp farming is completely sustainable. Hemp produces four times as much fibre per acre as pine trees. Hemp tree-free paper can be recycled up to seven times, compared with three times for pine-pulp based papers. Hemp is easy to grow, and actually conditions soil where it grows."

Hemp seed, an oilseed, likewise has many uses, including industrial oils, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food. Hemp is among the oldest industries on the planet, dating back more than 10,000 years. The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a bit of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC.

The popularity of tea has really risen over the last decade or so, with a lot of people choosing to drink it over things like soda, juice, or coffee. Many people may not realize that there is such a thing called marijuana tea. It is made from, you guessed it, marijuana! It is made fairly easily, simply by infusing marijuana into hot water. Since marijuana is fat soluble, marijuana tea does not offer up the “high” that simply smoking or cooking it in butter or oil would. Instead, the effects are a lot milder, and can often produce a calming effect much like chamomile tea does. Many people claim that by drinking marijuana tea often, it helps to ease eye troubles and can actually help those who have difficulty seeing. By adding some milk to the marijuana tea, you may get more of the adverse affects from the cannabis sativa plant. Because milk has fat in it, the THC will become absorbed into it, even if you decide to use low fat milk."

"text": "\"Justice The Real Reason Why Marijuana Is Illegal in the U. S. June 28th 2015By: Thor Benson@thor_benson It is hard to imagine a time when most pharmacies carried cannabis and farmers were required to grow hemp, much like they are given incentives to grow corn these days, but that is a significant part of the history of the U. S. From the 1600s to the late 1800s, hemp (a cannabis plant containing very little THC) was harvested on U. S. soil to create materials such as rope, paper, and clothing. In 1619, the Virginia Assembly decided to require farmers to grow hemp for these purposes, according to PBS. Hemp was also used as legal tender in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland around that time. During the 1800s, cannabis products became a popular medicinal substance found in tinctures that were sold in many pharmacies across the nation. It became a requirement to label these over-the-counter medicines containing cannabis, including cocaine and heroin, with the Federal Food and Drugs Act of 1906, but these things were still legal. Around 1910, the Mexican Revolution was starting to boil over, and many Mexicans immigrated to the U. S. to escape the conflict. This Mexican population had its own uses for cannabis, and they referred to it as \"\"marihuana.\"\" Not only did they use it for medicinal purposes, but they smoked it recreationally, which was a new concept for white Americans. Even the term, marihuana, was unfamiliar to them, as they called it cannabis. Southern states that were receiving the Mexican immigrants became concerned with this growing population."

Hemp and kenaf have emerged as good candidates to fill the void. Both crops provide fibrous material that can be used for a variety of industrial purposes, such as paper, rope, cloth and construction materials. Hemp ( Cannabis sativa ),one of our oldest and most versatile plants, was first domesticated by the Chinese. Documentation of its use dates back as far as 2800 BC. The Chinese used hemp fiber, separated from the stalks, to make paper and rope. In 450 BC, the Greek historian Herodotus reported that hemp could be used to make fine cloth. In Europe, hemp fiber was used to make coarse fabrics and rope for sailing ships. When the art of papermaking arrived in Europe from China in the 14th century, rags of hemp and flax became the material of choice used for paper manufacture.

"text": "What is hemp? OK, let’s get the Cheech and Chong jokes out of the way immediately. Hemp is not marijuana. Although hemp and marijuana are closely related, the hemp plant (botanical name Cannabis Sativa L.), is just one variety of many Cannabis strains (1). THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the active substance in pot that gets people high. Hemp crops used today for food and fabric don’t have much of this psychoactive component compared to their partytime cousins. In Canada and the European Union, only varieties containing less than 0.3% THC in their flowers can legally be farmed, while marijuana flowers typically contain 3 to 20%. In the U. S., debate over the threat of hemp farming to health and safety keeps the crops pretty much illegal. A license to grow crops can be obtained from the Drug Enforcement Administration, but it’s usually refused. ( Ironically, the first U. S. flags were supposedly made from hemp fabric. )"

High Times August 31, 2007, 7:00 PM GMT Print13 COMMENTSEditor's note: There are millions of regular pot smokers in America and millions more infrequent smokers. Smoking pot clearly has far fewer dangerous and hazardous effects on society than legal drugs such as alcohol. Here is High Times 's top 10 reasons that marijuana should be legal, part of its 420 Campaign legalization strategy. 10. Prohibition has failed to control the use and domestic production of marijuana. The government has tried to use criminal penalties to prevent marijuana use for over 75 years and yet: marijuana is now used by over 25 million people annually, cannabis is currently the largest cash crop in the United States, and marijuana is grown all over the planet. Claims that marijuana prohibition is a successful policy are ludicrous and unsupported by the facts, and the idea that marijuana will soon be eliminated from America and the rest of the world is a ridiculous fantasy. 9. Arrests for marijuana possession disproportionately affect blacks and Hispanics and reinforce the perception that law enforcement is biased and prejudiced against minorities."

"text": "The difference between hemp, marijuana and cannabis. by Paul Stanford March 10, 2013 at 3:05pm Hemp is our oldest crop, sown for over 12,000 years, and produces more fuel, fiber, food and medicine than any other plant. The seeds of cannabis produce the most productive and nutritious vegetable oil and protein. Hemp also produces more fiber, from its stems and stalks, than any other plant, and hemp fiber can be used to make paper, canvas, rope, lace, linen, building materials and more. There is a lot of confusion about the difference between hemp, cannabis and marijuana. Hemp, cannabis or marijuana all are scientifically denoted by the Latin term, cannabis sativa; hemp, cannabis or marijuana are all the same plant species, cannabis sativa. Indica varieties of cannabis are just different varieties of the same species, cannabis sativa. Cannabis is not a genus, it is a species. Today, almost all varieties of cannabis used for medicine and social use are cross-breeds of both indica and sativa varieties. According to US law, hemp is the stalks, stems and sterilized seeds of cannabis sativa, and marijuana is the leaves, flowers and viable seeds of cannabis sativa."

Instead, industrial hemp can be grown for a variety of uses, including textiles and clothing, paper, paints, clothing, plastics, cosmetics, and many, many other products. In addition to the advocacy movement for legalizing weed, there is a movement to legalize industrial hemp — a crop that has the potential to have a serious positive impact on the U. S. economy. Industrial hemp had a profound role in the early history of the nation, when it was used to make textiles, paper, rope, clothing, sails, and many other necessary objects.

However, implementing the law Brown signed last week depends on approval from the federal government. “With the signing of this bill, California is poised to grow industrial hemp when the federal government gives states the green light,” state Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), who authored the bill, SB 566, said in a statement. “ In the past year, the conversation to legalize the cultivation of hemp has gained momentum at the federal level, and it is only a matter of time before a farmer’s right to grow hemp is restored. ”Under federal law, hemp production is illegal, banned since 1957 because of the relation of hemp plants to marijuana. Hemp contains an insignificantly low amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical in marijuana that produces a high. The U. S. started importing hemp products, used in the manufacture of products that include fibers, food and fuel, from other countries in 1998. Still, numerous states have legalized industrial hemp. They will need approval from the Department of Justice to produce the plant without fear of prosecution. In Kentucky, where hemp industrialization was legalized in April, state Attorney General Jack Conway issued an advisory opinion, stating that hemp is still an illegal substance under federal law and may be prosecuted."

However, in candy, licorice flavoring -- which comes from the sweet root of the licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra -- is only used in black licorice. Licorice powder is also used in tobacco products, teas and herbal supplements. Its glycyrrhizinic acid and glycyrrhizin salt work together to make the plant's root sweet. Unfortunately, glycyrrhizin is toxic if over-consumed. When it is removed, licorice products are said to be deglycerized licorice, or DGL. Licorice root taste-alikes, such as anise oil (Pimpinella anisum L.), are usually added to DGL to improve flavor. Both licorice and DGL are used to treat health problems such as ulcers and sore throats.

Since some research suggests that each of these ingredients can be safe and effective treatments for individuals with anxiety or insomnia, it stands to reason that they would also promote better sleep and relaxation for others without these conditions. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Passionflower Passionflower is an herb that's used for both anxiety and insomnia. One theory that may explain these effects is that passionflower boosts the production of the amino acid gamma aminobutyric acid, or GABA, in the brain, which may reduce the action of some brain cells and promote a sense of calm. University of Maryland Medical Center notes that passionflower is typically combined with other calming herbs, which makes it more difficult to quantify its effects on sleep and relaxation. However, one 2001 study published in the “Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics” concluded that passionflower is effective in managing the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Valerian Root Valerian root is used to produce different types of medicine, including sleep aids. Like many herbal sleep remedies, it is often used in conjunction with other herbs and ingredients that have similar effects. Medline Plus rates valerian as “possibly effective” for the treatment of insomnia, but also rates it as having “Insufficient evidence” for the treatment of anxiety disorder. A 2006 meta-analysis published in “The American Journal of Medicine” that reviewed 16 studies concluded that valerian can help promote better sleep without causing side effects."

"text": "Vitamin C Content of Tea Wikipedia: Vitamin_CLast Updated: Nov. 6, 2014Quick summary: Green tea contains vitamin C; black tea does not. Green tea only has small amounts of vitamin C, around 2-10% RDA per cup. The fresher the tea, and the less processed, the more vitamin C. Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid or ascorbate, is an essential vitamin and antioxidant that occurs in nearly all fresh fruits and vegetables. The vitamin C content of tea depends on how the leaf is processed; there are few studies that actually measure the vitamin C content of various teas [4], but a combination of the few existing studies and what is known about the overall chemistry of vitamin C points to a clear pattern. Green tea, when fresh, contains vitamin C, whereas oxidized types, such as black tea, contain none or only trace amounts. The vitamin C content of some green teas is large enough to make a measurable contribution to dietary vitamin C, but it is small enough that even the teas richest in this vitamin cannot be relied on as a primary source of vitamin C. Most teas, however, contain either no vitamin C or only trace amounts. A typical fresh orange, by contrast, tends to have over 100% of the US recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C. Oranges, a fruit high in vitamin C, are often associated with the vitamin in our culture. What is vitamin C? Vitamin C is a naturally-occurring compound essential to the metabolism of all plants and animals. Humans produce only trace amounts of the vitamin, yet require larger concentrations of it, and thus must obtain it from their diet."

This has certainly been the case with our new organic tea products. I’ve discovered a third-generation organic tea grower who sources some of the best-quality organic teas from all over the world. Tea lovers know that a dedication to high-quality infusions and a passion for innovative organic teas is where it’s at. So, our compatibility with this tea grower was an ideal match. Recognizing that tea is both a beloved and healthy ritual for people, I believe it’s important to develop tea blends that are a true reflection of the fruit or spice character for which each blend is named. Most importantly, every tea, every spice and every herb used in our organic tea blends is derived from small tea producers or small disenfranchised farmers throughout the world. Tea – Nature’s Flavorful Immunizer People have been drinking tea for thousands of years. Taking the time to enjoy a cup of tea allows us to stop and relax amidst our busy, often stress-filled days. People have been drinking tea for thousands of years for the health and taste benefits Many consumers today are switching to tea as their primary beverage, as they become more informed not only about the fantastic health benefits of organic tea, but also the potentially harmful effects of sugar-laden and artificially processed and sweetened beverages."

March 15 2016Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is used for the preparation of the most popular tea-like beverage of South America. Hypocholesteremic (lowering cholesterol), antioxidant, hepatoprotective (protecting the liver) and bitter taste properties of mate are attributed to the phenolic constituents of the leaves. Yerba mate tea is popular in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. In these countries, the tea is popularly known as mate or chimarrão. What's in Yerba Mate herb? Yerba Mate herb has caffeoyl derivatives (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid) and flavonoids (quercetin, rutin and kaempferol). Benefit and potential medical uses Yerba mate herb, just like many herbs, is a good source of antioxidants and certainly deserves a spot in one's kitchen next to other herbal teas. Drinking yerba mate tea a few times a month is a good option, or one could take yerba mate supplements. Yerba mate herb has vasodilating properties. Yerba mate is promoted for weight loss, but there are better herbs for this purpose."

Red kangaroo grazing A Masaai herdsman grazing his cattle inside the Ngorongoro crater Grazing is a method of feeding in which a herbivore feeds on plants such as grasses, or other multicellular organisms such as algae. In agriculture, grazing is one method used whereby domestic livestock are used to convert grass and other forage into meat, milk and other products. Many small selective herbivores follow larger grazers, who skim off the highest, tough growth of plants, exposing tender shoots. For terrestrial animals, grazing is normally distinguished from browsing in that grazing is eating grass or forbs, and browsing is eating woody twigs and leaves from trees and shrubs. [ 1] Grazing differs from true predation because the organism being grazed upon is not generally killed. Grazing differs from parasitism as the two organisms live together in a constant state of physical externality (i.e. low intimacy). [ 2] [ page needed] [3] Water animals that feed for example on algae found on stones are called grazers-scrapers. Grazers-scrapers feed also on microorganisms and dead organic matter on various substrates. ["

Since dinosaur fossils are usually found embedded in rock, paleontologists associate dinosaurs with the geologic period in which they lived—for example, \"\"the sauropods of the late Jurassic. \"\" To put these geologic periods in the proper context, bear in mind that the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous don't cover all of prehistory, not by a long shot. First came the Precambrian period, which stretched from the earth’s formation to about 542 million years ago. The development of multicellular life ushered in the Paleozoic Era (542–250 million years ago), which embraced shorter geologic periods including (in order) the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods. It's only after all that that we reach the Mesozoic Era (250-65 million years ago), which includes the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Ages of the Dinosaurs (The Mesozoic Era)This chart a simple overview of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. In brief, this incredibly long period of time, measured in \"\"mya\"\" or \"\"millions of years ago,\"\" saw the development of dinosaurs, marine reptiles, fish, mammals, flying animals including pterosaurs and birds, and a huge range of plant life.

This group also includes extinct non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs and relatives of crocodiles. There is some debate about when archosaurs first appeared. Those who classify the Permian reptiles Archosaurus rossicus and/or Protorosaurus speneri as true archosaurs maintain that archosaurs first appeared in the late Permian. Those who classify both Archosaurus rossicus and Protorosaurus speneri as Archosauriformes (not true archosaurs but very closely related) maintain that archosaurs first evolved from archosauriform ancestors during the Olenekian ( Early Triassic Period ). Contents [ show]Distinguishing characteristics Edit The simplest and most widely-agreed synapomorphies of archosaurs are: Teeth set in sockets, which makes them less likely to be torn loose during feeding. This feature is responsible for the name \"\" thecodonts \"\" (\"\"socket teeth\"\"), which paleontologists used to apply to all or most archosaurs. Some archosaurs, such as birds, are secondarily toothless. Antorbital fenestrae (openings in the skull in front of the eyes but behind the nostrils), which reduced the weight of the skull, a useful feature since most early archosaurs had long, heavy skulls, rather like those of modern crocodilians. The preorbital fenestrae (sometimes called anteorbital fenestrae) are often larger than the orbits (eye sockets)."

The basic body type is a terrestrial quadruped, but some mammals are adapted for life at sea, in the air, in trees, underground or on two legs. The largest group of mammals, the placentals, have a placenta, which enables the feeding of the fetus during gestation.

Red kangaroo grazing A Masaai herdsman grazing his cattle inside the Ngorongoro crater Grazing is a method of feeding in which a herbivore feeds on plants such as grasses, or other multicellular organisms such as algae. In agriculture, grazing is one method used whereby domestic livestock are used to convert grass and other forage into meat, milk and other products. Many small selective herbivores follow larger grazers, who skim off the highest, tough growth of plants, exposing tender shoots. For terrestrial animals, grazing is normally distinguished from browsing in that grazing is eating grass or forbs, and browsing is eating woody twigs and leaves from trees and shrubs. [ 1] Grazing differs from true predation because the organism being grazed upon is not generally killed. Grazing differs from parasitism as the two organisms live together in a constant state of physical externality (i.e. low intimacy). [ 2] [ page needed] [3] Water animals that feed for example on algae found on stones are called grazers-scrapers. Grazers-scrapers feed also on microorganisms and dead organic matter on various substrates. ["

Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. Mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period. Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals. Not all dinosaurs lived at the same time Different dinosaurs lived at different times. Despite the portrayals in movies like King Kong and Jurassic Park, no Stegosaurus ever saw a Tyrannosaurus, because Tyrannosaurus didn't appear on the scene until 80 or so million years following the extinction of stegosaurs. The same goes for Apatosaurus (\"\"Brontosaurus\"\") — it's bones were already well-fossilized by the time T. rex came along. Dinosaurs are not extinct Technically."

You might call a niche an organisms job in the ecology. There are marine niches & terrestrial niches. If you are a mammalian herbivore you could be a Florida Manatee grazing on submerged seagrasses and algae. Manatees have mobile, rather prehensile snouts and lips that they use to sort through the plants to select the vegetation to eat. They are not very active but tend to suspend just below the surface countering their buoyancy with very dense bones with little marrow. Manatees are unusual being a large shallow water herbivore but the seagrass meadows provide the large quantity of plant matter a large herbivore needs. But the seagrasses do not provide enough concentrated energy to support a high metabolism."

These creatures vary in just about every way, from their size to where they can be found to how many predators they have. Yet they all have in common the fact that their meal intake is strictly meat-free. Cows Cows in grass fieldcredit: Fredrik Arnell/i Stock/Getty Images Although cows are the meat source for countless people around the world, these mammals have a strictly herbivorous diet. They fall into the category of range animals who spend their days grazing, with their meals consisting almost entirely of field grass and tiny shrubs. Sometimes weighing up to a thousand pounds, cows are also one of the largest herbivorous mammals on the planet. This explains why they spend so much time grazing—to meet their 8,000-calorie-a-day quota, they must snack constantly. Other than humans, most cows have few predators to fear. Rabbits Rabbit eating on plantcredit: Stratos Giannikos/i Stock/Getty Images Rabbits are among the better known herbivores.

Plants utilize the sun's energy, animals eat plants and utilize the plants' energy, and some animals eat other animals and utilize their energy. The food chain is a cycle of predation, and although it is necessary for life to exist, it has to have limits. Prey develop defenses against their predators, and predators strive to overcome such obstacles. The balance between survival of prey and predator is part of the reason that our ecosystem is so diverse. The skunk is an example of a prey who uses its chemical defense to scare off predators. The skunk releases a toxin or noxious compound that has a foul smell/odor to it It is easy to think of predation in the context of common sense. Predator eats prey. However, ecologically, predation is defined as any interaction between two organisms that results in a flow of energy between them [1]. This definition is applicable to both plants and animals."

"text": "\"The earth's vast network of oceans support millions of marine animals. Among them are carnivores who eat the flesh of other animals, omnivores who eat a combination of flesh and plant matter and herbivores who are adapted to eat only plant matter. Marine herbivores are found within four groups of species in the animal kingdom -- invertebrates, fish, reptiles and mammals -- and include zooplankton, mollusks, the green sea turtle, the marine iguana and some fish species. Manatees and dugongs are the only herbivores among marine mammals. Herbivorous Marine Invertebrates Invertebrates, animals without backbones, make up 97 percent of all species alive today, or 25 of the 26 phyla into which the animal kingdom is divided. The majority are carnivores and omnivores, but a relatively small number are herbivores, such as some sea snails -- the black-footed paua, top shell snails, limpets, turban shells, abalones and conch -- sea hares and sea cucumbers who graze on algae, seaweed and other plants. Zooplankton are tiny animals that drift through the depths feasting on equally mobile little plants called phytoplankton. Many of these mysterious and fascinating underwater creatures live in shimmering, iridescent shells that have commercial value as ornaments and jewelry; many are considered a delicacy to seafood lovers around the world. Herbivorous Fishes The oceans are home to millions of fish, a conglomeration of thousands of species that fall into three classes as distinct from one another as are reptiles from mammals. Within this enormous population of cold-blooded animals that breathe through gills are a group of herbivores, such as yellow tangs, blennies and angelfish that thrive on algae and other plant matter."

Monogastric and ruminants are the two main types of mammals based on their types of digestive systems. Most of the mammals fall in the category of monogastrics, yet the ruminants pose a high level of importance for the mammalians and to the entire biosphere. Anatomy, fermentation, and the diet are the main differences between the two types of organisms and those are discussed in this article. Monogastric Monogastrics are the organisms with a simple and single-chambered stomach in their digestive system. The most obvious example for a monogastric would be the humans; however, there are many other organisms of this type such as all the omnivores and carnivores. Rats and pigs are omnivorous monogastrics while cats and dogs come under carnivorous type. However, only a part of the herbivores falls under monogastric category such as rabbits and horses. It would be important to notice that these herbivores are capable of digesting cellulose through microbial fermentation. However, the fermentation process takes place in the hindgut (caecum and colon) of the monogastric herbivores."

This bird is known for its fine-textured, very white meat. It is also known to be docile, calm and adaptable.

Lawrence/Minden Once an essential part of any diversified farm, pigs have played an important role in agriculture – providing meat, fat, leather, bristles and more – for millennia. Some experts say pigs were domesticated as early as 11,000 B. C., and you’d be better off asking the question of where domestication didn’t occur than asking where it did. On the farm, pigs were often extensively managed and expected to forage for acorns, glean fields after harvest, consume dairy and brewery waste, and eat windfall fruit from orchards. Not so long ago, hundreds of pig breeds were kept busy in backyards and on homesteads across the country. However, as the pork industry moved toward ever leaner and longer carcasses, increased production efficiencies, and confinement operations, many historic breeds fell out of favor. Today, fewer pig breeds remain, and many are dwindling in number. However, plenty of these pig breeds are perfectly suited to the small holding or homestead. In the spirit of summertime barbecues, or “pig-pickin’s” as they’re called in the South, let’s explore some historic hog breeds and the unique histories, flavors and personalities that are influencing the rebirth of the sustainable agriculture movement.

"text": "\"Home » Recipes April 06, 2013Head Cheese By Worker Bee91 Comments Print Head cheese is not cheese at all, and these days it’s not always made from meat simmered off the head of a pig. A more accurate and appetizing way to think of head cheese is simply that it’s a cold cut made from tender, fatty pork. Head cheese isn’t hard to make at home, especially if you have a pressure cooker and use pig’s feet instead of a pig’s head. A pressure cooker completes the simmering process in 1 hour, rather than 3 or 4. And pig’s feet are easier to find than a whole pig’s head (and there’s a little less of a gross-out factor if you’re squeamish). Hispanic supermarkets almost always sell pig’s feet, or you can special order them from a butcher or local farm. Pig’s feet are inexpensive and the perfect addition not only to head cheese, but to any stock. The skin, joints and bones release tons of healthy collagen, giving the simmering liquid texture and helping it firm up when chilled. When cooking head cheese at home, you can control the texture and flavor, making it meatier or more gelatinous, seasoned heavily with spices or hardly at all. The head cheese in this recipe photo is light on meat, resulting in a smoother melt-in-your-mouth texture."

Poultry of the World Poultry ( / ˌ p oʊ l t r iː /) are domesticated birds kept by humans for their eggs, their meat or their feathers. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails, and turkeys ). Poultry also includes other birds that are killed for their meat, such as the young of pigeons (known as squabs) but does not include similar wild birds hunted for sport or food and known as game. The word \"\"poultry\"\" comes from the French/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal. The domestication of poultry took place several thousand years ago. This may have originally been as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but soon it was realised how useful it was having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises."

Most of these immigrants arrived in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and during this time, many Italians coming from Naples and Sicily moved to large American cities, such as New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco; the immigrant cuisine is thus largely derived from Neapolitan and Sicilian cuisine, and is particularly associated with these locations. Italian-Americans often identify foods with their regional heritage. Southern Italian staples include dry pasta, tomato sauce, and olive oil, whereas Northern Italian staples include foods such as risotto, white sauce and polenta. [ 1]Over time, through an increased appreciation of Italian cuisine in the United States, as well as increased imports into the United States from Italy, there has been a push towards producing more authentic dishes, which use techniques and ingredients that are more native to Italy."

See which of the best laying hens and chickens are right for you.3 MAIN TYPES OF CHICKENS: Hybrids, Pure-Breeds and Bantams There are so many types of laying chickens out there that it is understandably overwhelming when you first set out to get some backyard chickens as egg layers. However, they can be broken down into 3 simple types:1) Hybrid Chickens - The majority of commercial birds are of hybrid stock. These being a cross between a number of different chicken breeds. They are hardy and less susceptible to diseases and some of the best egg laying chicken breeds can be found in this type of fowl.2) Pure Breeds - Many of these are of old heritage chicken breeds are bred down through generations. Heritage chicken breeds are ideal if you are going to exhibit your birds. They are also ideal if you want to ensure the future of pure bred birds that have been bred for certain qualities that you will enjoy, whether it be for egg-laying or for meat production.3) There is another type of chicken - Bantam Chickens which are in a class on their own, and ideal to keep when you don't have a lot of space as they are much smaller than the ones mentioned above. However, besides true bantams, there are also many large breeds of chickens which have been bred to become bantam chickens in size. Of these hybrid and pure bred chickens, there are those that are good as egg layers, those that are good table birds for meat production, those that are just pretty to look at, and those that are dual-purpose; good for both eggs and meat.3 Classes of Chicken Breeds What makes up hybrids, pure breeds and bantams are 3 main classes of chickens: American Class of Chickens Asiatic Class of Chickens Mediterranean Class of Chickens American Class The main American chicken breeds are: Plymouth Rocks Rhode Island Reds Wyandottes Rhode Island Reds are excellent egg-layers and Plymouth Rocks lay large, brown eggs.

Although a whole pork shoulder tips the scale at 14 to 18 pounds and a Boston butt (the top half of the shoulder—the cut most commonly sold at the supermarket) at 5 to 7 pounds, this large hunk ’o meat always comes out tender. And that’s true whether you smoke, indirect grill, or spit-roast it—methods commonly used by hog-o-holics around Planet Barbecue. But not all pork shoulders are equal, and to get the biggest bang for the buck, you need to know about anatomy, animal husbandry, seasoning and grilling techniques and gear.

Some states and cities are commonly associated with foods (Maryland crab cakes, Boston baked beans, Philly cheese steak, New York style pizza) others are harder to connect with a particular dish.

Hens may have some black feathering on the back while roosters should only have black in the wings and tail feathers. The earlobes and eyes should be red and the legs should be yellow. The oblong-shaped body of the RIR should be deep and broad with a wide, flat back and a medium-sized tail. By Vicki -In my opinion, Rhode Island Reds (RIRs) are calm and regal birds.

My goal as a healthy homesteader is to provide the best food for my family, so choosing a bird for meat and eggs requires research and thought on my part. When choosing an animal for the purpose of food, I think their health is very important. In my opinion healthy animal will offer better tasting more nutritious food. The health of the animal also involves their genetics. If the genetics of an animal has major flaws it affects their vitality, thus affecting the quality of the meat. I recently found an article published on The Modern Homesteader website that puts it best. I may be accused of waxing “mystical” here: But I believe that when we eat another living thing, plant or animal, we are eating not only its physical nutrients but its vitality as well. We have quite rightly condemned the broiler industry for producing chickens all of whom are sick, propped up by antibiotics, growth hormones, and other industrial voodoo. And yet we continue to offer the same bird—raised without those contaminants and in a far more sanitary manner, to be sure—but weak and low in vitality, propped up by high management inputs. ("

"text": "\"5 Comments How Long Chickens Lay Eggs How long chickens lay eggs is a question we often get and the answer is – it really depends on the chicken breed. Chicken life expectancy (if properly nurtured) is from 8 to 15 years, and chickens can continue to lay into their teens. If the chickens are from one of the hybrid egg-laying breeds, then although they are capable of laying eggs for many years, they’re seldom kept that long. Heritage or traditional breeds, on the other hand, are often kept much longer and will lay eggs into their old age. Chickens are born with the capability to produce a set number of eggs over their lifetime, and it’s sometimes reported that keeping coop lights on in the winter to maintain egg production reduces the number of years that a chicken will lay. However, there’s no evidence to support this and chickens will lay eggs until they die of old age without running out of them. Egg-Laying Hybrid Breeds These breeds (Golden Buffs, Red Comets, Black Sex Links, etc.) are meant to produce eggs as quickly as possible with minimal feed input. They were bred to maximize production while minimizing costs. They are the breeds that most commercial egg producing operations use and they usually keep the birds for about two years before replacing them."

It was called the Anabaptist movement, and its members lived simply, rejecting material wealth. At the end of the 1600s, a small group led by Joseph Ammann broke away from the Anabaptists.

There are some things you should avoid, such as citrus fruits like lemons, limes, oranges, pineapple, etc. Some things you can provide are romaine lettuce, celery, brocolli, cauliflower, zucchini, bananas, flowers, and other leafy greens. Aside from veggies you can also give them frozen foods such as bloodworms, shrimp, and tubifex worms. A variety of fish flake foods are good.

Everyday you should change the food, water and saltwater dishes to keep it fresh. Every week, Do not clean the cage!!!! The hermit crabs need to molt and if a crab is molting they cannot have the sand around them moved, because that would cause tons of stress and most likely kill the hermit crab. ( keep in mind crabs need 4 inches of sand on the bottom of the habitat). When you do the big sand changes, it must be done when all crabs are at the surface of the tank and not molting. The full sand change only needs to be done every month. Yes coconut fibers can be mixed with sand, either way is fine."

It is a true snake and gets its common name from the color of its skin. Like all reptiles, olive sea snakes breathe air, but unlike the sea turtles, crocodiles, sea kraits, and other marine reptiles – which must nest on shore – the olive sea snake’s entire life cycle occurs in the ocean. Growing to lengths over six feet (2 m), this species is well adapted to a life on coral reefs. It has a flattened, paddle-like tail and a large lung that allows it to go hours between breaths at the surface. Given its length, it has special light sensing organs in the tail that allow it to remain totally hidden, including the tail, in its preferred hiding places among the reef, during daylight hours. The olive sea snake is a highly venomous snake that actively hunts small to medium sized fishes and benthic invertebrates, including prawns and crabs. It prefers to hunt only at night and only comes out of its daytime hiding places to take occasional breaths. Olive sea snakes are naturally curious and are known to approach SCUBA divers, not aggressively but inquisitively, especially at night. Though they only rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal."

The bat roosts in caves near the sea, woodlands and in roofs of old houses. Through the use of echolocation or sonar, the bat detects ripples caused by fish swimming close to the water’s surface and uses it’s long, curved claws to catch them, thus the name fishermen bat.

"text": "\"Aquarium Invertebrates: Hermit Crabs By Richard Aspinall Reef keeping is replete with these simple pleasures and hermits provide so many; they are cheap, durable, often long-lived and useful. Seeing a well known hermit sporting a new shell one morning is always a pleasant sight and is a sign that things are going as they ought. Comments H ermit crabs are found in just about all reef tanks, key members of the 'clean up crew' and often introduced after a comment on a web forum about how you should 'chuck in a handful of hermits' to any new tank with an algae problem. Hermits are often the most hardworking, undervalued and unloved residents of our tanks. In this article I hope to share with you my love of these amiable, remarkably well designed and often brilliantly coloured characters. Blue Legged Hermit Crab Clibanarius tricolor. A main-stay in the aquarium trade, also known as the Dwarf Blue Legged Hermit Crab, C. tricolor is considered an essential aquarium resident by many, though several authors warn against creating too much competition between specimens for limited food resources and available shells by keeping stocking densities low - 1 or fewer per 10 gallons for example (Shimek, R., 2009). Taxonomy More closely related to Squat Lobsters and Porcelain Crabs than they are to the true crabs (brachyurids), six families of hermit crabs are recognised in the superfamily Paguroidea, making over 1100 recorded species: Coenobitidae - 2 genera of terrestrial hermit crabs including the largest land living arthropod the Coconut Crab ( Birgus latro ). Diogenidae - 20 genera of 'left handed hermits'; includes well known aquarium species such as the Blue Legged Hermit ( Clibanarius tricolor ). Paguridae - 76 genera including the Red Legged hermit Crabs, Paguristes cadenati and P. Digueti."

Despite its snail-like appearance the hermit crab is related to crabs, although they are not that closely related as the hermit crab is not a true crab. There are more than 500 different species of hermit crab found in marine habitats all around the world. Although hermit crabs do venture into deeper waters,they are more commonly found in coastal waters where there is more food and places to hide. The hermit crab has a soft under-body which it protects by carrying a shell on its back. The shell of the hermit crab is not its own, but one that belonged to another animal. As hermit crabs grow, they continue to find larger shells to accomodate their increasing size. Hermit crabs are omnivorous animals that eat pretty much anything they can find in the surrounding water. Small fish and invertebrates including worms, are the most common prey for the hermit crab along with plankton and other food particles in the water. Due to their small size, hermit crabs have numerous natural predators all around the world, which includes sharks, fish, cuttlefish, squid and octopuses."

Roly-polies are harmless little armored creatures who serve important decomposing functions in most terrestrial habitats. Content to hide with a dozen or so of their kind under a piece of bark, emerging only to explore and snack on a piece of fruit, roly-polies are undemanding pets. Roly-Poly Basics Roly-polies, known to scientists as isopods, are tiny terrestrial crustaceans who live under logs and stones and within the leaf litter of most terrestrial ecosystems. Of the more than 10,000 species found worldwide, each has sessile eyes, 10 legs, a set of large antennae, a set of small antennae and three primary body parts: head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax itself is further divided into seven individual segments. While most isopods will defend themselves by curling up slightly, in many species, the head and abdomen do not touch.. Some -- members of the family Armadillidiidae -- defend themselves by rolling into a tight ball, which earned them colloquial names such as roly-poly and pill bug. Caging Roly-polies do not require much space. A 10-gallon fish tank or similarly sized plastic cage will provide enough for room for several of the critters. Roly-polies are gregarious in the wild and should be kept in groups."

This should be aragonite sand (best choice) or coco fiber ( brand name Eco Earth in the US). Aragonite sand can be found in reef stores, coco fiber should be expanded with ocean salt water. Never use anything with cedar or any other conifer in your hermit crab tank.3 Install a humidity gauge and two thermometers, One for the cool end, one for the warmer end. Hermit crabs need a range as they are cold blooded and rely on being able to move to the temperature in their environment that their body needs. Humidity should be 70-80% at all times.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are over 15 million cases of sexually transmitted disease cases reported annually in the United States. There are more than 25 diseases that are transmitted through sexual activity. Other than HIV, the most common STDs in the United States are chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis. Adolescents and young adults are the age groups at the greatest risk for acquiring an STD. Approximately 19 million new infections occur each year, almost half of them among people ages 15 to 24. What Are The Effects of STDs Some STDs can have severe consequences, especially in women, if not treated, which is why it is so important to go for STD testing. Some STDs can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause infertility, while others may even be fatal. STDs can be prevented by refraining from sexual activity, and to a certain extent, some contraceptive devices, such as condoms. Specific STDs: An Overview Human Papilloma Virus: The human papilloma virus is thought to be one of the main causes of cervical cancer."

Unfortunately, fever blisters are a common problem associated with the mouth.

What's more, almost half of women have a sexual problem of some sort, according to a report today from Health Day. Since sexually transmitted diseases often are announced only by nonspecific signs (like abdominal pain and fever), they may easily be mistaken for other illnesses—and that means the number of cases may actually be much higher. That's not good, say experts: Certain STDs, undiagnosed and untreated, can wreak havoc, bringing serious and even life-threatening consequences. Here's a list of nine serious STDs—and one that's just a nuisance:1. Chlamydia. Nicknamed the \"\"silent disease,\"\" chlamydia often does its damage unnoticed; indeed, it produces virtually no symptoms in about half the men and three quarters of the women who get it, according to the CDC. But that can mean trouble, especially for women: Infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and dangerous ectopic pregnancies can result if the infection isn't stopped with antibiotics. While men rarely experience complications, the infection can spread to the tube that shuttles sperm, leading to pain, fever, and a remote chance of sterility. Once a woman has been infected with chlamydia, she is up to five times more likely to contract HIV if exposed to the virus."

Although most genital herpes infections are caused by HSV-2 and most oral herpes infections are caused by HSV-1, we now know that either virus, type 1 or type 2 can cause blisters or sores known as genital herpes. Who has the virus herpes? Genital herpes is more common than a lot of people realize – about 1 in 6 people between 14 and 49 are infected. As many as 90% of people with genital herpes are unaware that they have the virus. How do you get herpes? Any skin-to-skin touching with infected areas can pass along herpes, even if the person who has herpes doesn’t have any visible sores or other symptoms. Once you have herpes, the virus is always in your body, so it can pass by oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Oral herpes, an infection of the lips, mouth or gums that causes blisters, can be spread from the mouth to the genital area during oral sex."

Those caused by bacteria and protozoa can be cured, often with single-dose treatment, whereas the viral infections, genital herpes and HIV, are lifelong, incurable infections. Other STIs, especially those which cause genital ulceration, facilitate the sexual transmission of HIV. Since a high proportion of STIs are asymptomatic, especially in women, their control depends on screening and treatment of populations at risk, as well as the provision of effective treatment for those with symptoms. Syndromic treatment for those with symptoms is recommended where laboratory testing is not feasible or may lead to a delay in treatment. Simple point-of-care (POC) screening tests are available for HIV, syphilis and Trichomonas vaginalis, but currently available POC tests for Chlamydia trachomatis are less sensitive than laboratory-based tests. Treatment of sexual partners is another cornerstone of STI control.

There is no medication that can cure sexually transmitted diseases caused by viruses. However, there are medication and vaccinations that can help prolong the lives of patients with these diseases. Hepatitis B can be vaccinated against, while symptoms of genital herpes, HIV and HPV can be treated. Here is a guide to common incurable sexually transmitted diseases. Types of Incurable Sexually Transmitted Diseases HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)It is a virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which gradually attacks and destroys the immune system making the patient prone to other diseases. The virus is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person. It can also be transmitted from mother to child before or during delivery or nursing. Sharing injection needles and unsterilized piercing tools can also transmit the virus. Symptoms range from mild to severe depending on the patient’s lifestyle and treatment."

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 20 million new infections occur in the United States every year. Even more people remain undiagnosed. One of the reasons many people don’t know they’re infected is that many STDs don’t have any symptoms. You can be infected with an STD for years without knowing it. Even when STDs don’t have obvious symptoms, they can still damage your body.

There are a number of causes, and most require medical treatment. This article provides an overview of common causes of vaginal itching, along with links to more detailed articles. Yeast infections Most women will experience a vaginal yeast infection during their lifetime. Though these aren't usually serious, yeast infection symptoms can be bothersome. Normally, a balance of healthful bacteria and yeast live in the vagina. The bacteria keep yeast in check, preventing overgrowth. When the vagina's bacteria do not properly control the yeast balance, yeast overgrowth can occur. Yeast infections can cause bothersome itching and burning."

Getting tested regularly is the best way to stay up-to-date on your sexual health. If you are having unprotected sex or sex with a new partner, STD testing may be the right decision for you. Most men are surprised to learn that penile sores and blisters can be symptoms of syphilis ,herpes simplex virus type 1, or herpes simplex virus type 2 . Syphilis is curable with antibiotics if detected and treated early. As long as it’s treated in the early stages, long-term risks associated with syphilis are minimal."

Spicoli · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Contrary to popular belief, oral sex is not a completely safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex. [ 14]. However transmission of HIV through fellatio or cunnilingus is relatively rare. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the College of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer . [ 15] The risk from most of these types of infection, however, is generally considered far lower than that associated with vaginal or anal sex. Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions."

Answer by Dan Galilee Confidence votes 31.8KA Jewish-American Rabbi living in Israel, studying, teaching and writing on Judaism. Bactrim (Trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole or co-trimoxazole) should not be used for STDs unless prescribed by a doctor in specific cases. It may not be effective at all for some STDs; and in general, it sometimes has serious side effects including liver damage. In addition, there is the problem of advancing antimicrobial resistance to it. Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa drug. It eliminates bacteria that cause various infections, including infections of the urinary tract, lungs (pneumonia), ears, and intestines. It also is used to treat traveler's diarrhea. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections."

"text": "(May 2001) The human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States, with an estimated 24 million active cases and 5.5 million new cases each year, according to the National Cancer Institute. Various strains of HPV cause the great majority of cases of cervical cancer. Despite this fact, public ignorance about HPV is high. Recent studies have shown that there are high levels of HPV infection among women, with the highest levels among young women, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). One recent study among female college students indicated that an average of 14 percent become infected with genital HPV each year. Levels of current infection in men of the same age appear to be similar. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 70 percent of American adults 18 and older have never heard of HPV. Furthermore, most (89 percent) have never discussed the issue with their health provider. Although cases of HPV are not formally reported in the United States, available data from the CDC indicate that at least 75 percent of the reproductive-age population has been exposed to the sexually transmitted HPV. Fifteen percent of Americans ages 15 to 49 are estimated to be infected."

"text": "Benefits of Roselle Share on : Tweet The roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of Hibiscus native to the Old World tropics, used for the production of bast fibre and as an infusion. It is an annual or perennial herb or woody-based subshrub, growing to 2–2.5 m (7–8 ft) tall. The leaves are deeply three- to five-lobed, 8–15 cm (3–6 in) long, arranged alternately on the stems. The flowers are 8–10 cm (3–4 in) in diameter, white to pale yellow with a dark red spot at the base of each petal, and have a stout fleshy calyx at the base, 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) wide, enlarging to 3–3.5 cm (1.2–1.4 in), fleshy and bright red as the fruit matures. It takes about six months to mature. The scientists from University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) found certain varieties of roselle to contain high levels of organic acid called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which is currently used in some weight loss products and supplements. This finding has added further value to the fruit which is already known to be rich in both vitamin C and anthocyanins (potent antioxidants). Although the potential of HCA as a weight lowering compound has been recognised since 1970s, few clinical studies have been conducted with this compound. These few studies resulted in both positive and negative results, the negative ones are most likely due to HCA being poorly available in the cytosol of a target cell. Better HCA compounds, such as potassium HCA, are being developed to address this, i.e. to further improve the bioavailablity and the efficacy of HCA."

Drought-tolerant plants are capable of coping with hot and dry conditions, although provided you water regularly, you needn't be limited to drought-tolerant plants alone. Sunny borders lend themselves well to fruit and vegetable growing, prairie-style planting, sun-loving herbaceous perennials and colourful summer annuals. Why not take a look below at our top plant varieties for a sunny border!Coping with sunny and dry borders Plants in hot, sunny borders will have a much higher water demand than those in shady borders, so it is important to pay special attention to these areas when watering. Young plants and newly planted borders will be most susceptible so focus on these plants first. Water deeply every few days rather than giving a light sprinkle of water on a daily basis. This will encourage deeper rooting and once established, many ornamental plants will fend for themselves. However you should help them along by preparing the soil properly before planting. Incorporate lots of organic matter into your soil. This can be compost, well-rotted manure or recycled green waste."

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

Hibiscus tea, also called roselle tea, is an herbal tea made from hibiscus flowers. This drink is often consumed iced, and is often sweetened. It has a sour flavor and bears some resemblance to fruit juices. Although the dried tea looks like it is made from petals, it is actually made from the sepals (calyces), the small structures at the base of the flower. Many species of hibiscus are grown ornamentally, but the species Hibiscus sabdariffa (also known as roselle) is the most common one used in herbal teas. Chinese hibiscus, or Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, is also sometimes used to produce herbal teas, but this article focuses on the sabdariffa species. The roselle species can be grown commercially, as a perennial, in hot tropical areas, or as an annual in colder climates. Hibiscus tea is produced only from certain cultivars or varieties of Hibiscus sabdariffa; other cultivars of this plant are used to produce fiber, or for ornamental purposes such as landscaping and gardening. Hibiscus is also one of the most common ingredients in herbal blends; it even occurs as the main ingredient in many herbal blends widely available in supermarkets in the U. S. Hibiscus is rather acidic, and its most common use in blends is to impart a sour taste and dark red or purple color, although it also imparts aroma as well."

Hibiscus plants thrive in rich soil and are susceptible to some pests and diseases, including the pink hibiscus mealybug and hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus. Petite Plants The hardy hibiscus (H. moscheutos “Luna Blush”) is petite by hibiscus standards and grows 2 to 3 feet tall by 1 1/2 to 2 feet wide in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 9. This perennial bears large, white flowers 6 to 7 inches wide with deep pink eyes in mid- to late summer. Good air circulation helps “Luna Blush” produce the most blossoms and resist disease. Just like other hibiscus, it tolerates wet soil. Between 3 and 7 Feet Tall Some perennial varieties of hibiscus grow between 3 and 7 feet tall. Scarlet rose mallow (H. coccineus) grows 3 to 6 feet tall and spreads 2 to 3 feet wide in USDA hardiness zones 6 through 9. It has deep red flowers 3 to 5 inches wide all summer."

Are Mint Leaves Bad for Dogs? There are two types of hibiscus (Hibiscus spp. ), namely the tropical hibiscus and the hardy hibiscus, both of which produce similar, showy flowers. Tropical hibiscus grow in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, while hardy hibiscus thrive in zones 5 through 9, depending on the species and cultivar. While some species may not harm your pup, those such as Hibiscus syriacus and its blooms are toxic to dogs if eaten. Hibiscus The hibiscus is known for its funnel-shaped flowers that come in a variety of colors, including shades of red, white, pink, yellow, orange, purple, brown, gray and blue; the flowers even come in multicolored combinations. The plant grows best in moist, well-drained and slightly acidic soil with full sun or partial shade. The hibiscus can grow up to 15 feet in height, depending on the species or cultivar, according to the National Gardening Association. Hibiscus can be perennials, annuals, shrubs or trees."

"text": "\"You are here: Home Types of Flowers – Annuals Vs. Perennials Types of Flowers – Annuals Vs. Perennials Anyone who has ever shopped for, purchased, planted, or cared for flowers has likely heard them referred to as either annuals or perennials. These terms are used as a means of identifying and separating certain types of flowers. What makes them different from one another is the life cycle of the plants and how long they produce blooms. When planting flowers or creating a garden, it is necessary to understand which plants are perennials and which are annuals. With this knowledge gardeners are able to better plan their gardens as well as provide them with the proper care. Annuals Flowers that have a single life-cycle of one year are called annual flowers. Once the growth season for these plants comes to an end, they die and must be replanted the following year. Because their blooms last throughout the season, annual flowers are often planted to add long-lasting, vibrant color to a garden."

"text": "\" [ Front Page] [ Features] [ Departments] [ Society Home] [ Subscribe]Australian Native Hibiscus Colleen Keena This article was written for the Garden Design Study Group. It was recently updated for a series called 'Marvellous Mallows' and published in Hibiscus International, the journal of the International Hibiscus Society. Introduction Although new species of hibiscus and hibiscus-like plants are still being found and recorded (1), the beauty of at least one species was recognised as long ago as 1828. The Colonial Botanist of New South Wales, Charles Fraser described Hibiscus splendens as the King of all the Australian plants he had seen. He described the flowers as being the most delicate pink and crimson and literally covering the plant. Hibiscus splendens is just one member of the Hibiscus family. Australian representatives may be herbs, shrubs or trees and include Abelmoschus, Abutilon, Alyogyne, Gossypium, Lagunaria, Malva and Radyera and of course Hibiscus. Australian Hibiscus flowers Photo: Geoff Keena These plants vary in size from a ground cover, Abelmoschus moschatus ssp tuberosus, to small plants such as Hibiscus trionum (0.2 m) , to medium shrubs such as Alyogyne huegelii (1-2.5m) and tall trees such as Lagunaria patersonia (to 13 m). Not only is there a range of sizes but members of this family can be found growing in tropical areas, for example, Abelmoschus manihot; in swamps and crater lakes, e.g. Hibiscus diversifolius; along the beach, H.tiliaceus (now Talipariti tiliaceum) and Thespesia populnea; in inland Australia, e.g. Gossypium sturtianum, Alyogyne hakeifolia; in fissures in sandstone, in open forest or along rainforest margins, H.splendens; and along the margins of light rain forests on soils ranging from loam to granitic or poor and gravelly, H.heterophyllus. While most species occur in subtropical and tropical regions, some species can be grown in temperate climates which have irregular rain in summer and reliable rain in winter, e.g. Hibiscus splendens (2) and H.diversifolius if kept well watered (3)."

BLADE ILLUSTRATION< >Share Tweet Share Email Comments Print BLADE ILLUSTRATION Enlarge When you’re “in the zone,” it’s always good to know what that zone is. And in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, the zone has changed. Gardeners have long known our area to be Zone 5 in terms of plants that will thrive in our broad temperature range. The zone is often noted on seed packets and the plastic identification tags of perennial plants, those that live through the winter and return the following year. Now an updated evaluation by the U. S. Department of Agriculture has declared northwest Ohio to be Zone 6, or more precisely, Zones 6a and 6b. “It’s exact to a quarter-mile square,” Kim Kaplan, public affairs specialist for the Agricultural Research Service of USDA, said of the new map, a riot of wiggly pastel bands. It’s so detailed that gardeners can enter a Zip Code on the map’s online site and see which sub-zone they live in. The neighborhood near the Toledo Zoo in South Toledo is Zone 6a, for instance, while Old Orchard in West Toledo at Zone 6b is considered five degrees warmer. The new map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive in a location. It’s based on the minimum winter temperatures over 30 years, and divides the country into 13 bands, each representing 10 degrees of difference."

Butterflies are a welcome sight in any garden not only for the beauty they bring but also because they serve as a valuable pollinator in our perennial beds. As butterflies develop through their life cycle, egg, larva (caterpillar), chrysalis, and adult, they rely on different types of plants for food and shelter. Each stage in the butterfly life cycle has its own special requirements. Creating a Butterfly Garden To develop a butterfly garden, you must include plants which will provide an accessible source of nectar which is the main interest of butterflies. The more food you provide, the more butterfly species your garden will attract. Plant to create large splashes of color in your garden. The most appealing plants are those that have flower heads which are composed of short, tubular blossoms and are flat-topped to provide a good landing platform e.g. Achillea (Yarrow), Asclepias (Butterfly Weed), Buddleia (Butterfly Bush), Echinacea (Coneflower), Monarda (Bee Balm). Plant single rather than double blooming varieties as the nectar is more accessible in these forms."

However, hiccups are not unimportant, particularly when persistent (> 48 hours) or intractable (> 2 months). Hiccups may cause patients considerable discomfort, as in this patient.

Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity.

You will benefit by knowing the cause and what it all means to you. What Are Fetal Hiccups? Fetal hiccups are a beautiful reminder that the baby is growing inside you. He or she has a developing nervous system which is practicing its job of sending signals to the muscles and diaphragm to work. When the diaphragm contracts, the baby will suck in amniotic fluid and thus cause a hiccup effect. The lungs are not yet fully developed and thus are not used to process oxygen, so drowning or choking cannot occur."

Hiccup Synonyms Singultus, hiccough, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF)Pronunciation/ ˈ h ɪ k ə p, - ʌ p / HIK -əp, -up Specialty Otorhinolaryngology A hiccup (also spelled hiccough) is an involuntary contraction ( myoclonic jerk) of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute. The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc. [ 1] Once triggered, the reflex causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm followed about 0.25 second later by closure of the vocal cords, which results in the classic \"\"hic\"\" sound. Hiccups may occur individually, or they may occur in bouts. The rhythm of the hiccup, or the time between hiccups, tends to be relatively constant.

"text": "\"Digestive Health Heartburn Acid Reflux in Children Common Symptoms of GERD in Infants (Chronic Reflux)Frequent spitting up and coughing can be signs of infant GERDBy Sharon Gillson | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated November 18, 2017Share Pin Email Print Mladen Zivkovic /i Stock Reflux occurs often in normal infants. More than half of all babies experience gastroesophageal reflux in the first three months of life. Reflux can become gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) when it irritates the esophagus and lasts for more than a year. Learn about the symptoms of chronic reflux and when to get medical attention. Symptoms of GERD in Infants Common infant GERD symptoms include the following: Frequent spitting up or vomiting: Over half of all infants will spit up at some point during their first three months of life. Referred to as \"\"happy spitters,\"\" they usually don't require treatment, and will usually outgrow this. For some infants, however, this spitting up, or reflux, is severe and requires treatment. Irritability when feeding: This irritability includes whining, crying, screaming, and fussiness, which can last for varying amounts of time. This irritability can stem from the burning sensation and pain in the esophagus when formula and stomach acid is refluxed into the esophagus. Refusing food or eating only small amounts: Infants may refuse to eat if pain occurs when they swallow."

"text": "\"Efield/getty images Subscribe A hiccup usually means one of just a very few things: You ate that burger way too fast, you washed it down with that beer way too fast, or you got a little overexcited that you were about to have a burger and a beer. These are occasional hiccups that rarely last more than a few minutes. \"\" All a hiccup is is an abrupt closure of your vocal cords,\"\" says Kenneth Brown, MD, a Dallas-area board-certified gastroenterologist and the cofounder and chief medical officer of Atrantil supplements. The vocal cords snap shut thanks to an involuntary contraction of your diaphragm. \"\" It's an electrical current making the diaphragm jump when it shouldn't, like a little spark going off,\"\" he says. Sounds (relatively) harmless. ( Get A Free Trial of Prevention + 12 Free Gifts) But in some instances, hiccups can become a little more troublesome. Anything that irritates the diaphragm, or the vagus nerve that runs through it from your brain to your belly, can lead to hiccups, and sometimes—although it's rare—those irritants can be serious.

"text": "The Cause and Treatment of Infant Hiccups in Babies and Newborns Everyone is familiar with hiccups. We all experience them from time to time, less and less often as we grow older. Babies are particularly prone to hiccups, even within the womb, sometimes as early as the 6th week after conception. But hiccups are usually nothing to worry about. They may last for a minute or up to an hour but do the baby no harm – in fact some infants seem amused by the surprise caused. Baby’s hiccups are just one of those normal behaviors and reflexes that parents need to know about but not be alarmed by. Hiccups are most likely to occur just after a feed or when the child gets excited. As a newborn’s internal organs develop and mature, hiccups should diminish in intensity and frequency.

"text": "Up Next Newborns get the hiccups all the time; in fact, babies get the hiccups while they're still in the womb. The causes of hiccups in infants can range from a full stomach to swallowing too much air. There isn't a whole lot you can do for a baby with hiccups. The home remedies that people like to try on themselves -- like holding their breath or eating a teaspoon of sugar -- aren't realistic when it comes to newborns. You can try burping a baby by patting him or her on the back. Otherwise, just wait patiently until the hiccups go away on their own. Hiccups aren't harmful to babies -- just frustrating. The reason infants get hiccups more often than adults may be related to their small, not fully developed bodies. As with adults, a full stomach can cause hiccups in a baby. Considering that babies have much smaller tummies than adults, they're likely to fill up pretty quickly."

The trick would be to relax, hiccups are caused by your diaphragm being in spasm. The diaphragm works with the muscles in your chest to expand your lungs when you breathe. It is a large muscle just at the base of your ribs. People try a lot of different things to relax this muscle, not all are successfull. I did hear that if you cough really hard when you feel your next hiccup coming on that it could help to relax the diaphragm. Good Luck, but you should continue to seek medical help if your hiccups dont stop.brian · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating A spasm of the diaphragm resulting in a rapid, involuntary inhalation that is stopped by the sudden closure of the glottis and accompanied by a sharp, distinctive sound."

Hiccup Synonyms Singultus, hiccough, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF)Pronunciation/ ˈ h ɪ k ə p, - ʌ p / HIK -əp, -up Specialty Otorhinolaryngology A hiccup (also spelled hiccough) is an involuntary contraction ( myoclonic jerk) of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute. The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc. [ 1] Once triggered, the reflex causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm followed about 0.25 second later by closure of the vocal cords, which results in the classic \"\"hic\"\" sound. Hiccups may occur individually, or they may occur in bouts. The rhythm of the hiccup, or the time between hiccups, tends to be relatively constant. A bout of hiccups, in general, resolves itself without intervention, although many home remedies are often used to attempt to shorten the duration.

"text": "Diaphragm Spasm Filed in Conditions on June 5, 2015 with no comments Diaphragm is the biggest yet the strongest muscle in body and it separates the chest and abdomen. It is one of those muscles people don’t think about unless they have troubles with them. In most cases, diagnosing diaphragm spasm or strain is not always done but if there could be simple and fast ways of evaluating how the diaphragm functions, it could help in treatment of many disorders and diseases that present in form of diaphragm strains or avoid the unnecessary treatment that are often based on improper diagnosis. Sponsored link Diaphragm spasm – Symptoms and Causes that Trigger them Diaphragm strain is not always diagnosed early enough. A majority of people carry the damage and symptoms of a strained diaphragm for a long time and others even carry it for their lifetime. They never get any special attention to determine what could be causing the strains. When the diaphragm is strained, people may suffer from conditions such as hiatal hernia and hiccups. Hiatal hernia occurs when there is diaphragm strain which causes the stomach to push through diaphragm thus creating the condition referred to as hiatal hernia. The body relies on diaphragm in normal respiratory. The diaphragm contracts to induce different functions such as reduced intrapleural pressure and expansion of rib cage."

Submit Your Comment Comment from: cgrantski, 55-64 Male ( Caregiver)Published: January 30I just saw this work in a hospital setting. Numb the phrenic nerve (which runs down the side of the neck to the diaphragm) with cold by quickly eating a lot of crushed ice, sherbet, ice cream, etc. For this patient, it worked within a minute and generally gave relief from hiccups for a couple hours. The patient had been trying a series of big-time drugs with no effect plus all the cures that try to change blood carbon dioxide levels, with no effect whatsoever. Hiccups can have many causes; this patient's was apparently neurological. Comment from: Ex-Hiccuper, 35-44 Male (Patient)Published: November 16My remedy for hiccups is to stick my tongue out as far as possible and hold it there for a few seconds.

"text": "\"Hiccups when having a coldtyrocomp Nov 16, 2009Since recently I've discovered that whenever I catch a cold, for a period I also suffer from non-stop hiccups. Generally this lasts about 2 days, the hiccups themselves stop for short periods (1/2 hr or so) every now and then (maybe 4-5 times a day), but start up again. Unlike any hiccups which occur when I don't have a cold, these ones cannot be stopped by the usual means (eg: drinking water, concentrating and relaxing). This has been a regular occurrence over the last year (during which I caught cold about 4 times), and while I've read that hiccups can be caused by irritation to the diaphragm, I haven't heard or read about anyone who consistently suffers from hiccups when having a cold. Is there anything I should be concerned about regarding this? Answer Question Read 19 Responses Follow - 719 Responseskalie1979 Nov 21, 2009Never heard of that, have you told your doctor?

Diaphragm is a muscle which separates the chest from the abdomen. When the diaphragm experiences spasms, the person experiences hiccups. There is a sudden intake of breath which causes the vocal cords to close. This is the effect of the spasm and it creates a 'hic' sound. These are hiccups.

Temporary or transient diaphragm spasm Commonly referred to as ‘getting the wind knocked out of you,’ this form of diaphragm spasm is caused due to sudden application or pressure or force on the solar plexus. It can occur due to a fall on the back, a blow to the abdominal area, or in contact sports. There may be temporary diaphragm paralysis which is what causes minor breathing problems. It is temporary and requires no treatment.2. Hiccups or synchronous diaphragm spasm or flutter A hiccup refers to spontaneous contraction of the diaphragm which may recur many time in a single minute. The involuntary action of a hiccup is marked by a reflex arc, which after activating, leads to powerful diaphragm contractions eventually followed by closing of the vocal cords; this is what causes the well-known ‘hic’ sound. A hiccup features a specific rhythm wherein it may occur in episodes or as a single act. This rhythm and/or the time between two hiccups often remains the same. Most cases of hiccups tend to resolve on their own after some time."

"text": "\"Print Overview Hiccups: What causes them Hiccups are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm — the muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen and plays an important role in breathing. Each contraction is followed by a sudden closure of your vocal cords, which produces the characteristic \"\"hic\"\" sound. Hiccups may result from a large meal, alcoholic or carbonated beverages or sudden excitement. In some cases, hiccups may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. For most people, a bout of hiccups usually lasts only a few minutes. Rarely, hiccups may persist for months. This can result in weight loss and exhaustion. Symptoms Hiccupping is a symptom. It may sometimes be accompanied by a slight tightening sensation in your chest, abdomen or throat. When to see a doctor Make an appointment to see your doctor if your hiccups last more than 48 hours or if they are so severe that they cause problems with eating, sleeping or breathing."

We’ve all had them, but do you actually know where they come from? They’re hiccups, and they’re the strange little sounds that can escape from your mouth without warning. Hiccups start much lower in your body, though -- in the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle between your lungs and stomach. Normally, the diaphragm pulls down when you inhale to let air into your lungs, and then relaxes when you exhale so air can flow back out of your lungs to exit your nose and mouth. But if something irritates your diaphragm, it can spasm, forcing you to suddenly suck air into your throat, where it hits your voice box. That makes your vocal cords suddenly close, creating the distinct “hic!” sound."

As your diaphragm tightens, the space between your vocal cords closes, leading to the characteristic \"\"hic\"\" sound. The tightening may serve a purpose, helping to rid your gut of trapped air and draw swallowed food down toward your stomach, but most people find hiccups to be more annoying than useful. And, really, no one knows exactly why hiccups occur. There are many theories, however, like helping to prepare an unborn baby for breathing or, as mentioned, clearing air from your stomach. It's even been suggested that hiccups could be related to \"\"an ancient gill breathing reflex held over from when our ancestors crawled from the ocean.\"\" 1As for causes, hiccups are sometimes triggered by external factors, like drinking carbonated beverages, eating too fast (and gulping your food) and chewing gum. However, hiccups are actually an involuntary movement triggered partly by your autonomic nervous system (which also controls your heartbeat, pupil dilation and other involuntary bodily functions). Even unborn babies hiccup, which is thought to perhaps help prepare them for breathing. But, while virtually everyone gets hiccups now and again, there's really no hard and fast cure."

In some cases, prolonged hiccups that last for days or weeks may be symptomatic of underlying disorders. On this page: Symptoms of hiccups Cause of hiccups Triggers of hiccups Self-help strategies Hiccups may be symptomatic of disease Medical treatment Where to get help Things to remember Hiccups, or hiccoughs, are involuntary sounds made by spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a large sheet of muscle slung beneath the lungs that, together with the intercostal muscles, causes us to breathe. The muscular spasm of these muscles sucks air into the lungs, and the quick inhalation makes a structure inside the throat (called the epiglottis) slam shut. ( The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the windpipe during swallowing to prevent the inhalation of food, fluids or saliva.) This sharp closure of the epiglottis causes the characteristic ‘hic’ sound of hiccups. Generally, hiccups resolve by themselves after a few minutes, but prolonged hiccups that last for days or weeks may be symptomatic of underlying disorders. Certain drugs, including epilepsy medications, can make a person more prone to hiccups."

"text": "Topic Contents: Symptoms Causes Remedies Diet More Treatments FAQsadvertisement Belching Tweet Email Belching or burping is also medically referred to as eructation or ructus. Essentially it is a process of releasing gas from the digestive tract through the mouth. A typical odor or sound may also accompany the process of gas release. Belching is a common universal phenomenon and not limited to few people with any specific disorder. Infants to older adults belch or burp to expel air that has been swallowed in excess. Belching relieves the abdomen of discomfort caused due to the excess air. Belching can also form as a habit to many people and such belching or burping may not be related to the accumulation of air in their stomachs. Instinctively people resort to belching on account of any form of abdominal discomfort to expel gas and ease the existing discomfort. Though it sounds like a simple exercise, technically belching is a co-coordinated activity. For example: the larynx is raised to ensure no liquid or food passing with the air from the stomach gets into the lungs and this process also relaxes the upper cardia (esophageal sphincter) such that air can pass more easily from the esophagus into the throat."

"text": "Automotive History: Hidden Headlights (Part 1) – Now You See Them…. By Mike Butts – September 14, 2015 ( first posted 10/21/2011)All cars have headlights. They’re a basic part of our image of a car, the eyes on its face. At night they need to be up high and far apart to light the road for the driver, and light the car for everyone else. But during the daytime, they’re just blocking the airflow and taking up space. Style the front end however you like, but you must include those lights. What if they were hidden, and only came out at night? Designers answered this question in an amazing number of ways over seven decades. But now hidden headlights are gone, never to return. Gordon Buehrig and his team of stylists designed the first hidden headlights in 1935, for the radical front-drive Cord Model 810."

A few of today’s bigger cruisers and touring bikes come with some type of auxiliary lights already installed or available as a dealer-installed option. But many older bikes, especially sport, dual-purpose, and smaller cruisers, typically don’t have them. If you’ve been thinking about adding an extra set of lights to your bike, hold off on making that run to the local cycle shop, auto parts store, or Walmart. And don’t hop on to the Internet with a credit card in hand to order that cool looking set of Master Blaster driving lights just yet. Take a few minutes to answer the following questions. By doing so, you’ll be able to make a more intelligent decision about which set of lights to buy.1) Why Are You Adding A Set Of Lights? People add lights to their motorcycle for a variety of reasons ranging from aesthetics to enhanced safety. Do you want to add lights to your bike to supplement your existing low-beam lights, extend the range of your existing high beam lights, make your bike more conspicuous to oncoming daytime drivers, or just to make it look “cool”? The answer to this question will go a long ways in determining what features you are going to want in a set of lights."

"text": "by Derek Fung Contributor19 Mar 2014209SHARESIt wasn’t that long ago that headlights were a no-thought-required feature. All cars had them and no one really paid them much heed unless they failed or were shaped in a particularly ugly manner. Halogen Reliably generating light with the limited resources at a car’s disposal was a problem for early automotive engineers. Tungsten filaments, similar to the kind found in household incandescent light bulbs, were finally settled on as the solution. From the mid-1960s until now these tungsten filaments have been encased in a bubble of halogen gas in order to improve performance and longevity. For much of their history, tungsten and halogen lamps focused light on the road via a lens that doubled as the headlight’s protective housing; now the two jobs are separate. Since the 1990s the exterior casings of headlights have been made from polycarbonate instead glass, as it’s both lighter and stronger, while light from the headlamp bulb is aimed via a series of computer designed complex reflectors, as seen in the Ford Ranger (above, left). Alternatively the light beam can be directed by a projector lens within the headlight housing, such as the ones found in the Mazda MX-5 (above, right). Combing low cost and a working life of between 500 and 1000 hours, halogen bulbs are the most common headlamp type in use today, although that is rapidly changing. Spurring things along is the desire of car makers to improve efficiency."

"text": "Can I Use HID Bulbs On My Halogen Car?14th May 2014By Laura Dyson Tweet Post Tagged: Headlight Bulbs We find that lots of our customers have a car that uses halogen bulbs, but want the look and style of a Xenon HID. One of the most common questions we get asked at PB HQ is, ‘ can I use HID bulbs on my halogen car? ’ Keep on reading to get the lowdown on fitting Xenon bulbs into a halogen car…How do I know if my car uses HID bulbs? There are a few ways to check this. You can look in your vehicle handbook, which will display the most up-to-date fitting information. If your vehicle uses Xenon HIDs, you’ll be looking for a fitting that begins with a ‘D’, such as ‘D2S’. If you don’t have your vehicle handbook with you, don’t worry! We have a trusty bulb finder on our site. Simply click here to go to our homepage, and fill in your vehicle’s details. You can then browse the full range of bulbs in your specific fitting."

Here are the replacement bulbs you'll need. Here are the tools you'll need for the entire job: Cloth, Flat head screwdriver, 10mm socket/ratchet or wrench. 1) Remove the shoud. Probably the only thing I didn't take pics of is the radiator shroud/cover you'll have to remove. There are 6 plastic push clips that have to be pulled out to remove the shroud. I didn't stick the screwdriver under to pry it up because I didn't want to scratch the paint. I'm anal like that. I lifted the shroud on either side of the clip using both hands and pulled up until the push clips finally popped out."

Switchback LED lights also known as dual colored LED, meaning that they stay xenon white in parking mode and flash amber in turn signal mode. They are designed to be used as front turn signal lights or daytime running lights. i JDMTOY is actually the first company to invent this two colored LED product and now carries these switchback LED bulbs in many sizes like 1157, 3157, 7443 and even retrofit types like 7440. There are even switchback LED strips available for customization. This kind of switchback LED will give you a nice HID-matching look when operating as the parking lights and are legal since they flash amber when the turn signals are used!7443 Switchback LED Bulbs Scion FR-S Turn Signal7443 Switchback LED Bulbs Scion FR-S Turn Signal Bi-Color 7443 LED Switchback LED bulbs for Scion FRS are the brand new, updated advancement from the previous switchback LED bulbs. They've got a whole new SMD LED diode that has the capability of producing both xenon white and amber LED colors both at once. They are a whopping two times brighter than any other bulb of similar style on the market today. These i JDMTOY bulbs are lit as xenon white in parking mode, and flash amber when the turn signals are engaged. Their brightness is probably the feature that makes them the most attractive choice."

This kind of lights gives off special beams that could cut through fog, snow, and rain so you can see the road and safely find your way to your destination. This is the reason most vehicles in the market these days are now outfitted with fog lights. Whether you're looking for a replacement fog light or an aftermarket unit, here are some factors you need to consider before shelling out bucks for a set of new fog lights: Your local laws Some states and cities have restrictions on the type, color, and number of lights you can install in your vehicle. There are fog lights that are approved for street use by the Department of Transportation while there are some that are allowed for off-road or track use only. So before you purchase, check first the local regulations in your area. This way, you'll know which type of fog lights are legal. Types of fog light bulbs Vehicle owners can choose between three main types of bulb for their fog lights. Halogen, Light-Emitting Diode (LED), and High-Intensity Discharge (HID). Some prefer an exact replacement for their vehicle's stock bulb while others decide to convert their fog lights by installing a different type of bulb."

One of my brothers have high cholesterol,my mother has high blood pressure and both my nan and grandad had heart problems but i couldnt comment on my fathers side. Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes there is a link between having an underactive thyroid and having high cholesterol. In someone with high cholesterol, thyroid function is usually one of the first things that gets investigated. You said that you're only 'borderline' hypothyroid, so the thyroid might not be the cause. However, your doctor should be aware that common medication to lower cholesterol ('statin' medication) is far more likely to have side effects on the muscle if someone has an underactive thyroid.

"text": "\"Overview Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones. Women, especially those older than age 60, are more likely to have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism upsets the normal balance of chemical reactions in your body. It seldom causes symptoms in the early stages, but over time, untreated hypothyroidism can cause a number of health problems, such as obesity, joint pain, infertility and heart disease. The good news is that accurate thyroid function tests are available to diagnose hypothyroidism, and treatment of hypothyroidism with synthetic thyroid hormone is usually simple, safe and effective once you and your doctor find the right dose for you. Symptoms Thyroid gland The signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism vary, depending on the severity of the hormone deficiency. But in general, any problems you have tend to develop slowly, often over a number of years. At first, you may barely notice the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue and weight gain, or you may simply attribute them to getting older. But as your metabolism continues to slow, you may develop more-obvious signs and symptoms. Hypothyroidism signs and symptom may include: Fatigue Increased sensitivity to cold Constipation Dry skin Weight gain Puffy face Hoarseness Muscle weakness Elevated blood cholesterol level Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods Thinning hair Slowed heart rate Depression Impaired memory When hypothyroidism isn't treated, signs and symptoms can gradually become more severe."

Many people do not know that the pituitary gland is located just below the brain, in the middle of the skull. When this gland notices a lack of hormones, it adjusts its hormones and sends a signal to the thyroid to let it know more is needed."

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck.

Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down. The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that makes thyroid hormones. How common is hypothyroidism?

"text": "\"Fatigued or full throttle: Is your thyroid to blame? Web MD Medical Reference Medically Reviewed by Dr Rob Hicks The thyroid is like a speed control or accelerator for the body. An overactive thyroid can leave a person feeling 'revved up', even when they should be getting ready to sleep at bedtime. An underactive thyroid slows a person down, and may cause symptoms of depression, fatigue, and weight gain. Thyroid conditions are relatively common, and can be treated. What is an overactive thyroid? Hyperthyroidism happens when the thyroid becomes overactive and produces too much of its hormones. Hyperthyroidism affects women 10 times more often than men, and is most common in people aged 20-40. People with hyperthyroidism have problems that reflect overactivity of the organs of the body, resulting in symptoms such as sweating, feeling hot, rapid heartbeats, weight loss and sometimes eye problems. Hyperthyroidism can occur in several ways: Graves' disease: The release of excess hormones is triggered by an autoimmune disorder."

"text": "\"Temperature Regulation for Thyroid Testing123January 02, 2008 • 79,234 views View More Do you ever experience fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, difficulty getting up in the morning, cold hands and feet or intolerance to cold, constipation, loss of hair, fluid retention, dry skin, poor resistance to infection, high cholesterol, psoriasis, eczema, acne, premenstrual syndrome, loss of menstrual periods, painful or irregular menstrual periods, excessive menstrual bleeding, infertility (male or female), fibrocystic breast disease, or ovarian cysts? If so, you may have an underactive thyroid. It is often seen in people who suffer from multiple allergies, immune disorders and chronic fatigue. Normal temperature regulation in the body is essential for enzyme functions and preservation of health. Whenever our molecular and immune defenses are stressed, three body organs take the brunt of the injury; the thyroid, pancreas and adrenal glands. The evaluation of the functional status of the thyroid gland -- hypothyroidism or under-active thyroid gland -- requires blood tests as well as temperature records. There is considerable evidence, however, that blood tests fail to detect many cases of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). It appears that many individuals have \"\"tissue resistance\"\" to thyroid hormone. Therefore, their body may need more thyroid hormone, even though the amount in their blood is normal (or even on the high side of normal). A low axillary temperature suggests (but does not prove) hypothyroidism."

"text": "\"Overview Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones. Women, especially those older than age 60, are more likely to have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism upsets the normal balance of chemical reactions in your body. It seldom causes symptoms in the early stages, but over time, untreated hypothyroidism can cause a number of health problems, such as obesity, joint pain, infertility and heart disease. The good news is that accurate thyroid function tests are available to diagnose hypothyroidism, and treatment of hypothyroidism with synthetic thyroid hormone is usually simple, safe and effective once you and your doctor find the right dose for you. Symptoms Thyroid gland The signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism vary, depending on the severity of the hormone deficiency. But in general, any problems you have tend to develop slowly, often over a number of years. At first, you may barely notice the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue and weight gain, or you may simply attribute them to getting older. But as your metabolism continues to slow, you may develop more-obvious signs and symptoms. Hypothyroidism signs and symptom may include: Fatigue Increased sensitivity to cold Constipation Dry skin Weight gain Puffy face Hoarseness Muscle weakness Elevated blood cholesterol level Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods Thinning hair Slowed heart rate Depression Impaired memory When hypothyroidism isn't treated, signs and symptoms can gradually become more severe."

The thyroid gland normally releases many crucial hormones that travel through the bloodstream to reach receptors found throughout the whole body. So a disturbance in thyroid function can cause widespread, noticeable health problems. According to the American Thyroid Association, 12 percent of Americans will develop a thyroid condition at some point in their lives. ( 1) Some estimates suggest up to 40 percent of the population suffers from at least some level of underactive thyroid. Women — especially older women — are the most susceptible group for developing hypothyroidism. People who are elderly or who have other existing autoimmune diseases — like type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease, for example — are also at a higher risk. What are some of the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism? Changes to your metabolism, heart function, digestion, energy, appetite, sleep or mood … even the growth of your hair, skin and nails can all be caused by hypothyroidism.

The thyroid gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate many of your body's functions. Inflammation from Hashimoto's disease, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, often leads to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It primarily affects middle-aged women but also can occur in men and women of any age and in children. Doctors test your thyroid function to help detect Hashimoto's disease. Treatment of Hashimoto's disease with thyroid hormone replacement usually is simple and effective. Symptoms You might not notice signs or symptoms of Hashimoto's disease at first, or you may notice a swelling at the front of your throat (goiter). Hashimoto's disease typically progresses slowly over years and causes chronic thyroid damage, leading to a drop in thyroid hormone levels in your blood. The signs and symptoms are mainly those of an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)."

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

Your thyroid is very important to regulate your activity levels. When you have a too high TSH level in your blood, you are often a very active person.

The symptoms that are involve with Hypothyroid are very serious but the disease itself is hard to diagnose at first. Low thyroid symptoms affect many aspects of your emotional and physical well being. Very basically the thyroid controls your energy level and when you are hypothyroid you have a lack of energy. This lack of energy affects many aspects:* Heart Problems * Anxiety and Depression * Weakness and Fatigue * Problems with your weight * Imbalance of blood sugar level * Dysfunction of the immune system * Sensitivity for cold * Infertility and Miscarriages * Problems with Cholesterol levels * Osteoporosis The list goes on but these are probably the most important and serious symptoms associated with low TSH numbers/ hypothyroidism.

They were also twice as likely to have had heart attacks.\"\" According to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a slightly underactive thyroid -- the condition known as subclinical hypothyroidism -- is a major heart disease risk for older women. In the Dutch study, which is being called \"\"The Rotterdam Study,\"\" it was found that older women with subclinical hypothyroidism were almost twice as likely as women without this condition to have blockages in the aorta. They were also twice as likely to have had heart attacks. This common condition, which frequently has no obvious symptoms for patients, and no observable symptoms for doctors, is a strong risk factor for both hardening of the arteries and heart attacks in older women. Subclinical hypothyroidism is detectable by a blood test, known as the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test. For the purposes of this study, subclinical hypothyroidism was defined as a TSH level greater than 4.0 m U/L in the presence of a normal free thyroxine (Free T4) level. Clinical hypothyroidism was defined as a TSH level greater than 4.0 m U/L and a decreased free thyroxine level. The Rotterdam Study's finding is a strong indication that screening programs to evaluate even slight hypothyroidism in older women could help prevent cardiovascular illness."

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Hypothyroidism can be caused by the autoimmune disorder Hashimoto thyroiditis, irradiation or surgical removal of the thyroid gland, and medications that reduce thyroid hormone levels. Anyone can develop hypothyroidism, but women and people ages 50 and above are at greater risk. Only a small percentage of people have full-blown (overt) hypothyroidism. The prevalence of overt hypothyroidism in the general population varies between 0.3% and 3.7% in the United States. Many more people have mildly underactive thyroid glands (subclinical hypothyroidism). Symptoms Symptoms of hypothyroidism include: Dry skin Thin, brittle hair and fingernails Increased sensitivity to cold Feeling tired Slow thinking Constipation Depression Muscle and joint pain Heavier menstrual periods Hoarse voice Weight gain or difficulty losing weight Fertility problems Diagnosis and Treatment Hypothyroidism can cause serious complications if left untreated. Fortunately, it can be easily diagnosed with blood tests that measure levels of the pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4).

Sure, you may last on fumes for a few miles, but in the end it will be very difficult to get to your destination. When it comes to weight loss, your thyroid is no different than that car. According to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada, an estimated that 200 million people around the world have some form of thyroid disease, and 30 percent of Canadians — over 10 million people — may suffer from a thyroid condition of one type or another, with as many as 50 percent of them undiagnosed. Thyroid hormones regulate our metabolism and organ function. They directly affect body functions such as heart rate, cholesterol levels, body weight, energy, muscle contraction and relaxation, skin and hair texture, bowel function, fertility, menstrual regularity, memory and mood. Without enough thyroid hormones, every system in the body slows down. Those who suffer from hypothyroidism feel tired and tend to sleep a lot.

An underactive thyroid slows a person down, and may cause symptoms of depression, fatigue, and weight gain. Thyroid conditions are relatively common, and can be treated. What is an overactive thyroid? Hyperthyroidism happens when the thyroid becomes overactive and produces too much of its hormones. Hyperthyroidism affects women 10 times more often than men, and is most common in people aged 20-40. People with hyperthyroidism have problems that reflect overactivity of the organs of the body, resulting in symptoms such as sweating, feeling hot, rapid heartbeats, weight loss and sometimes eye problems.

Hives, also called urticaria, are circumscribed swellings on the skin that often are itchy. Often they are pink or red, but they don't have to be. Hives happen when the cells in the skin called mast cells release histamine, a chemical that causes tiny blood vessels (capillaries) to leak fluid. When this leaking fluid accumulates in the skin, it forms the swellings that we recognize as hives. Hives can be triggered by physical factors such as heat, cold, exercise, sunlight, stress, sustained pressure on a skin area (such as from a belt or shoulder strap), a sudden increase in body temperature (from a fever or a hot bath or shower) or from an irritating chemical, cosmetic or soap applied to the skin. Hives also can be one symptom of a whole-body (systemic) allergic reaction to something that was: Inhaled — Pollens, animal dander, molds Injected — Insect stings or bites, especially bee stings, or injected medication Ingested — Foods (tree nuts; fish and shellfish; dairy products; legumes, especially peanuts), food additives, medications such as penicillin or aspirin Hives probably affect about 20% of people in the United States at some time in life, with the greatest number of episodes occurring in people aged 20 to 30. In rare cases, allergic reactions that trigger hives set off a chain reaction throughout the body, resulting in a life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis. Sometimes, hives last for six weeks or more, a condition called chronic (or idiopathic) urticaria. Often, no cause is found for this chronic condition, and it usually goes away on its own after several weeks."

Images of Urticaria (Hives) (11)Close Video Overview Hives (urticaria), also known as welts, is a common skin condition with an itchy rash of pink to red bumps that appear and disappear anywhere on the body. An individual lesion of hives typically lasts a few hours (up to 24 hours) before fading away, and new hives can appear as older areas disappear. Physicians arbitrarily divide hives into acute (new or periodic episodes lasting fewer than 6 weeks) and chronic (periodic episodes lasting more than 6 weeks). Though many people have a single episode of acute hives that goes away within a few days to weeks, some individuals may have chronic hives that persist intermittently for years. More often than not, the offending agent is never identified in those who suffer from chronic hives. Hives can be triggered by many things, including: Medications, especially aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, narcotic painkillers, and antibiotics Infections with viruses, bacteria, or fungi Environmental allergies such as insect bites, pollen, mold, and animal dander Physical exposures such as heat, cold, water, sunlight, and pressure Medical conditions including some blood diseases and cancer Food allergies such as from strawberries, eggs, nuts, and shellfish Stress In many cases, the causative agent is not identified despite extensive testing. This is referred to as idiopathic urticaria. In approximately 50% of idiopathic urticaria outbreaks, hives are most likely caused by a reaction from the person's own immune system (autoimmune reaction). Who's at risk?"

"text": "\"NEXT©Strawberries contain a chemical thatcan cause body cells to releasehistamine, which helps form hives. Just about anything can make you break out in hives: Foods such as peanuts or strawberries, drugs such as penicillin or aspirin, vitamin supplements, heat, cold, sunlight, exercise, fever, stress, and even scratching or rubbing the skin are among some of the possibilities. Some substances actually cause an allergic reaction that results in hives, while others have absolutely nothing at all to do with allergies. Strawberries, for example, contain a chemical that can cause cells in your body to release histamine, a chemical also produced in allergies, which allows blood plasma to leak into the skin and form the hives. In this article, we'll scratch the surface and talk about methods to ease and prevent hives. Sometimes only a tiny amount of the culprit is needed to set off a reaction. For example, you may have a sensitivity to seafood but break out after eating a steak -- simply because the steak was cooked in a pan that had earlier been used to fry fish. Don't confuse hives with other skin eruptions. Hives (or urticaria, as the doctors call them) occur when blood plasma leaks into the skin, causing \"\"wheals,\"\" or swollen areas. They can be as small as a pencil eraser or as large as a dinner plate, and they usually last only a few hours."

We also know that uncontrolled high blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease.

"text": "\"Allergy facts Allergy involves an exaggerated response of the immune system, often to common substances such as foods or pollen. The immune system is a complex system that normally defends the body against foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses, while also surveying for abnormal changes in an individual’s own cells, such as cancer. Allergens are substances that are foreign to the body and that cause an allergic reaction. Ig E is the allergic antibody. Although many individuals outgrow allergies over time, allergies can also develop at any age, including during adulthood. While the environment plays a role in the development of allergy, there is a greater risk of developing allergic conditions if a person has a family history of allergy, especially in parents or siblings. Allergy overview This is a review regarding how the allergic response of the immune system occurs and why certain people become allergic. The most common allergic diseases are described, including allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies), allergic conjunctivitis ( eye allergies ), allergic asthma, urticaria (hives), and food allergies. What is an allergy? Readers Comments 57 Share Your Story An allergy refers to an exaggerated reaction by the immune system in response to exposure to certain foreign substances."

See more real estate pictures .i Stockphoto/ Thinkstock In the 1960s, about 500 HOAs existed in the United States, and they've been increasing in popularity ever since [source: Senville ]. Today, the Community Associations Institute estimates about 62 million U. S. residents lived in 309,600 HOA communities in 2010 [source: CAI ]. That's a major increase in 50 years. So, what purpose do all these HOAs serve? First and foremost, a homeowners association is an organization of property owners that administers the rules and upholds the covenants of a subdivision, development or condominium complex [source: Bank of America ]. So if you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, its rules affect and limit what you can do to a property you own [source: Snell ]. The rules and covenants are enforced by the HOA's homeowner-elected or developer-appointed board of directors. That's good news to some, since HOA covenants and bylaws preserve the value of your land by ensuring neither you nor your neighbors do anything like paint your house a distasteful color or park several commercial vehicles in your driveway [source: Mc Linden ]. The bad news is that you can't necessarily do what you want with your own private property."

Knowing who the members of the Board are and having a basic understanding of what they do is a good way for all members of the Association to stay informed.1. Why should HOA board members be homeowners in the Association? A homeowners association is run by a Board of Directors that is usually made up of homeowners who live in the Association. It’s rare that someone who is not a unit owner in the Association would be a member of the HOA Board. People who are actually homeowners in the Association will have a different perspective on issues in the association community because they are directly impacted by them. This is especially true when it comes to decisions relating to monetary issues, like HOA fees. Homeowners will also care more about the future and make plans for the Association by considering the big picture, instead of just immediate ramifications. If there's a circumstance where a member of the HOA board is not a homeowner in the Association, then this person most likely would not have voting rights.2.

The Board discusses current covenant violations, actions and settlements. The Board directs the property manager as to procedures for handling covenant issues. The Board also solicits property owner input and addresses concerns about matters within Castle Valley Ranch (CVR). The Board also develops an annual budget. Q.

But what if your neighbors don’t? Does it affect you? Why an HOA Must Collect Dues Almost every planned community is run by a homeowner’s association (HOA), which is made up of all the owners in the development. The HOA’s obligations are set forth in the governing documents for the development (such as Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&R’s), and sometimes separate Rules and Regulations). Among the HOA’s main obligations is to maintain, repair and replace the common areas. Why Dues May Be High One issue that can cause homeowners to stop paying their dues is that they feel they’re excessive, or literally can’t afford them. The HOA calculates the amount of dues it needs to collect based on its annual budget, after estimating the ongoing operation and maintenance expenses for the common areas."

"text": "\"What is a 'Homeowners Association Fee - HOA Fee'A homeowners association fee (HOA fee) is an amount of money that must be paid monthly by owners of certain types of residential properties, and HOAs collect these fees to assist with maintaining and improving properties in the association. HOA fees are almost always levied on condominium owners, but they may also apply in some neighborhoods of single-family homes. For condominium owners, HOA fees typically cover the costs of maintaining the building's common areas, such as lobbies, patios, landscaping, swimming pools and elevators. The association may also levy special assessments from time to time if its reserve funds are not sufficient to cover a major repair, such as a new elevator or new roof. HOA fees can also apply to single family houses in certain neighborhoods, particularly if there are common amenities such as tennis courts, a community clubhouse or neighborhood parks to maintain. What Do HOAs Do? In addition to taking care of maintenance and repair issues, HOAs also create rules related to parking or the use of common areas. In neighborhoods of single-family homes, the HOA may create rules on how often members can paint their houses, which types of fences they may have, how they must maintain their landscaping or related issues. What Happens If Someone Doesn't Pay HOA Fees? If an owner of property governed by a HOA does not pay the required monthly or annual fees as well as any special assessments, the HOA can take action against the delinquent homeowner."

"text": "9 Things You Need to Know About Homeowners' Associations By Amy Fontinelle January 23, 2018 — 10:02 AM ESTWhen you purchase a condominium, townhouse or another type of property in a planned development such as a leased land property or a gated community, you are obligated to join that community's homeowners' association (HOA) and pay monthly or annual HOA fees for the upkeep of common areas and the building. If you are considering purchasing one of these types of properties, you should be aware of the following nine things about homeowners' associations and how they work before you buy. Tutorial: A Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Home HOA Basics First, let's take a look at what HOAs are all about. HOA fees often range from $200 to $400 per month. The more upscale the building and the more amenities it has, the higher the homeowners' association fees are likely to be. In addition to monthly fees, if a major expense such as a new roof or a new elevator comes up and there aren't enough funds in the HOA's reserves to pay for it, the association may charge an extra assessment that can run into thousands of dollars. Because multiple parties live in the same building or complex, all residents of condominiums and townhomes must be equally responsible for maintaining the common areas such as landscaping, elevators, swimming pools, clubhouses, parking garages, fitness rooms, sidewalks, security gates, roofing and building exteriors. Many of these types of common areas, such as pools and tennis courts, also exist in subdivisions of single family homes. Regardless of whether the HOA governs a building, such as a condo or townhome structure, or a neighborhood of individual houses, HOA fees help maintain the quality of life for the community's residents and protect property values for all owners. In addition to maintaining common areas, HOAs also set out certain rules that all residents must follow called covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs)."

"text": "LIDS and SIDS, HOA Explained There are a couple of different types of fees that may be involved in purchasing a Las Vegas home that have to do with the community chosen. SIDs and LIDs SID: Special Improvement District LID: Local Improvement District When a developer builds on unimproved land, the city will install the sewer plumbing, streets, water hydrants, and lighting. This cost is passed on to the developer who can then choose to pay the city up front and add the cost to the sales price of each lot/home, OR not pay up front and allow the city to place an assessment on the community as a whole. The assessment is then divided among all of the properties within the master planned community. There is the total assessment amount and the annual assessment amount. The annual amount is a portion of the total assessment that is due each year until the total amount is paid in full. The assessment runs with the property, so if the property is sold whatever amount is still left is transferred to the new owner and so on until the assessment is paid in full. The community is basically paying off a bond /loan at a fixed interest rate for a set amount of years. However, each homeowner has the option to pay their SID/LID in full at any time. This is very common in our valley."

If it's either way then the question is if HOA is $240-$300 is it more likely to be per year or per month?

However, If this is a townhome, the HOA is a monthly amount. You can contact the agent or better yet contact the Subdivisions itself to get the correct amount and to find out when it is due and how payment is expected.

Resort ownership has it’s privileges of course, but as one can imagine owning in such an exclusive stunning and private gated resort like Kiawah Island comes with cost. So as an agent here in Charleston who sells on Kiawah I have gone through the effort to help prospective buyers looking to purchase property for sale on Kiawah Island know what to expect when considering buying. Let’s start with property HOA payments due at closing: depending on the property you want to buy be it; villa, condo or single family is a required 1/2 of 1% of the purchase price fee upfront to the community HOA. Then depending on the building (if condo), or “off shoot” community you own in will ALSO have quarterly or monthly regime dues (click button below). Investment Property Details ROI Info 2017 Owner Dues Details Monthly Regime Dues By Development There will ALSO be yearly HOA dues required at $2369.00 and this is to cover the landscaping, lighting, upkeep of the common areas and so on throughout the Kiawah Island resort. So what does this cost get you? Each property owner gets to enjoy all the benefits of the Kiawah Island “ Sandcastle “, a community center consisting of dining, large swimming pool, boat landing (Rhett’s Bluff), internet and reading lounge, banquet rooms, and Castle Grill. All About Owning Condos & Villas [ TAX info] In South Carolina we have two different types of property taxes, the Homestead Exemption rate 4% which is ONLY for primary residence owners, and 6% for NON-primary residence owners which applies to just about everyone who owns on Kiawah."

Whether it’s an event that occurs regularly, such as a board or members’ meeting, or an unusual event such as member discipline, HOAs and their boards are faced with an extensive array of mandatory notice procedures. Familiarity with these requirements is an important component in the efficient operation of any HOA, and in avoiding disputes and litigation resulting from a failure to properly give notice. HOA notice requirements are embodied in several California statutes. The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (the “Davis-Stirling Act”) and the Corporations Code contain numerous HOA notice requirements. Unfortunately, these requirements are scattered across several sections in the Civil and Corporations Codes. We advise our HOA association and management company clients to update their notice procedures annually and to communicate to us any questions or concerns regarding interpretation and application of new notice requirements. What Kinds of HOA Meetings Trigger Notice Requirements? Most HOAs conduct annual meetings, board meetings, and member meetings on a regular basis. Less frequently, there are special membership and emergency board meetings to address issues that arise between regularly scheduled meetings."

The property is an attached duplex (dubbed by the developer as a Patio Home) and is part of the Sun City core.

Maintenance, repairs, and security are managed by the Homeowners Association (HOA); and members of the community have unfettered access to communal assets like swimming pools, clubhouses, spas, and fitness centers. Of course, none of this is free. The cost of these services and amenities can be substantial, and each member of the housing development is required to pay their fair share to cover expenses. It's a trade off, and for many people it's one that is well worth the regular HOA fees. Still, before you commit to the purchase of a condo or townhouse in a managed development it's important to understand how HOA fees are calculated, and what you should expect to get in return for your money. There are also some very definite pitfalls to be aware of, and that you should take steps to avoid. What Your Fees Pay For Every homeowners association has it's own policies, which are established by the board of directors. Some HOAs provide more varied and extensive services than others, and as such will set their fees accordingly. As a general rule, most homeowners associations cover the following basic services and manages their costs: Maintenance of Communal Areas – This includes lawn care and landscaping, snow removal and road repairs, as well as the general upkeep of all communal buildings."

See more real estate pictures .i Stockphoto/ Thinkstock In the 1960s, about 500 HOAs existed in the United States, and they've been increasing in popularity ever since [source: Senville ]. Today, the Community Associations Institute estimates about 62 million U. S. residents lived in 309,600 HOA communities in 2010 [source: CAI ]. That's a major increase in 50 years. So, what purpose do all these HOAs serve? First and foremost, a homeowners association is an organization of property owners that administers the rules and upholds the covenants of a subdivision, development or condominium complex [source: Bank of America ]. So if you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, its rules affect and limit what you can do to a property you own [source: Snell ]. The rules and covenants are enforced by the HOA's homeowner-elected or developer-appointed board of directors. That's good news to some, since HOA covenants and bylaws preserve the value of your land by ensuring neither you nor your neighbors do anything like paint your house a distasteful color or park several commercial vehicles in your driveway [source: Mc Linden ]. The bad news is that you can't necessarily do what you want with your own private property."

Why an HOA Must Collect Dues Almost every planned community is run by a homeowner’s association (HOA), which is made up of all the owners in the development. The HOA’s obligations are set forth in the governing documents for the development (such as Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&R’s), and sometimes separate Rules and Regulations). Among the HOA’s main obligations is to maintain, repair and replace the common areas. Why Dues May Be High One issue that can cause homeowners to stop paying their dues is that they feel they’re excessive, or literally can’t afford them. The HOA calculates the amount of dues it needs to collect based on its annual budget, after estimating the ongoing operation and maintenance expenses for the common areas."

Some associations can be very restrictive about what members can do with their properties.

Membership in an HOA is usually a requirement for the purchase of certain properties. An HOA is typically established to make and enforce rules regarding the properties within the jurisdiction.

With regards to disabled homeowners or renters, the Fair Housing Act requires associations to make reasonable accommodations or modifications—and it’s important to understand the distinction. An accommodation would be a change in the HOA bylaws or rules that would enable the disabled individual to receive equal treatment within the association, such as designating a parking spot near the entrance as a handicapped space. A modification requires physical changes be made, such as building a handicap ramp to the front entrance.

It might save you from summarily rejecting -- or not even looking at -- the property of your dreams because you weren't clear on the difference between a detached home and a planned unit development. Building & Ownership Types: Four Degrees of Separation When you think of a condominium, you might think of an uber-modern, metropolitan high-rise a la Trump Towers. However, the common interest development (of which condos are one sort) was one of the first forms of property ownership respected in ancient Roman civilization, and was even written into the Napoleonic Code of 1804. In all of America, all housing units are classified as either single family or multi-family, and there are only four different ownership boxes into which single family residences can be classified. These are based on the degree of \"\"common interest\"\" you share with your neighbors, if any. ( Not interest as in hobbies, but interest as in legal ownership rights.) Every building you run into will fall into one of these four boxes, and the classification of the unit you choose will have a major impact on your rights and obligations, as well as your monthly budget."

"text": "Estoppel Letters – A Sometimes High & Unexpected Home Selling Expense March 3, 2015 by Thomas Scott, REALTOR®, GRI® 2 Comments When you sell your home, you provide the buyer a warranty deed, which guarantees that you hold clear title to the property and that you have the right to sell it. Your guarantee is backed up by a title insurance policy, which you purchase as a closing expense and provide to the buyers and their lender. Before a title company will issue a policy, they ensure that in-fact there are no liens or encumbrances on the property, such as a mortgage loan, city municipal lien, or mechanic’s lien, and that home owners’ association (HOA) dues are paid in full. The title company will order a title search, municipal lien search, and request a payoff letter from any mortgage or other lien holder so that the liens will be satisfied by closing of escrow. They also order an estoppel letter from the home owners’ association or its management company. “ Estoppel Letter” is a fancy, legal term for what basically is a payoff letter. It certifies what periodic and any one-time assessments are on the property and the balance due to the HOA, if any. We have found Oviedo homeowners are sometimes unpleasantly surprised at the amount charged for an estoppel letter by the home owners’ association and/or their management company. Tanin Teston at Real Estate Closing Solutions, a premier title insurance and escrow closing agent here in Central Florida, shared some HOA estoppel letter fees recently charged to home sellers: Bentley Woods – $195.00Clifton Park – $179.00Ellington Estates – $100.00Kenmure – $424.00Live Oak Reserve – $225.00Sanctuary – $150.00Twin Rivers – $179.00Of course, these are subject to change and often with little or no notice from your HOA or its management company. As a point of comparison, banks on average charge $25 or less for a letter certifying the mortgage loan payoff balance required to release the mortgage lien."

One of the most important and least understood by many Board members is the Executive Session. A good understanding of this matter may save headaches in the long run and keep the Board out of thorny situations. The Purpose of an Executive Session Executive Sessions are generally provided by statute so an HOA board can take up privileged information and private matters. Homeowner's association members do not have a right to attend these sessions unless they are to be part of the proceedings being discussed, such as being part of a disciplinary action or personnel matter. Matters taken up in Executive Session are fairly limited and spelled out for the Board. It's essential for the HOA board to follow all Association rules and regulations along with legal statute to keep from raising concerns. These meetings have to be somewhat transparent, in that they must be noticed at least two days in advance with a general agenda stating what will be discussed. For example: “Discuss contract matters. \"\""

"text": "\"Strategic Planning for HOA Boards Most successful businesses embrace the concept of strategic planning to drive the direction, resources, and decisions made in the daily course of doing business. A strategic plan establishes common goals and objectives that guide leadership and unite employees and partners. By guiding your HOA with a strategic plan, you can: Make the board’s actions more consistent Schedule projects in a proactive manner to take advantage of pricing opportunities and timing Place decisions required for implementation on an Annual Calendar to have adequate time to prepare Allocate resources strategically to meet member needs Despite the benefits of strategic planning, many homeowner associations don't enthusiastically implement a plan within their associations. Some HOAs think that creating a plan is complicated and requires a lot of time and money while others incorrectly believe the 30-Year Reserve Study is their plan (Find out how to read your reserve study ). According to Forbes, \"\"A strategic plan helps business leaders determine where to spend time, human capital, and money.\"\" When determining where to spend time and money, a homeowners association should consider these factors: Changing demographics Local economic conditions Aging landscaping and design elements A complete plan will also consider the needs and wants of the individual community members. We can take the essence of the models used in the business environment to make a simple, three step process of strategic planning for HOAs: preparation, development, and implementation. Board Member Preparation Before you can begin to initiate projects and programs, it is necessary that you have a general understanding of your homeowners association. To be completely prepared, you should have the answers to these five questions: What are your HOA's governing documents? CC&Rs, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide you with information about the structure of your community."

"text": "NEXTLiving in a condo spares you the trouble of lawn care and other maintenance but doesn't spare you from unexpected bills. Digital Vision/ Thinkstock Sure, condo living frees you from some of the burdens of home ownership, such as lawn care and maintenance. But you'll still face the reality of unexpected expenses and budget shortfalls -- and thus the special assessment fee. Assessment fees are payments the homeowners' association (HOA) collects from owners to cover expenses the HOA is responsible for, but that aren't covered in the regular monthly fees. Take lawn care, for example. At a condominium, HOA fees typically cover the cost of a landscape service to weed, feed and mow the grass. But suppose a tree care service is called in to remove a dying tree. The HOA board of directors may vote to impose an assessment fee to pay for that expense. Special assessments may also be needed to meet rising insurance premiums, as in 2005, when some insurance companies in Florida drastically raised their rates for hurricane insurance after an unusually destructive hurricane season [source: Gunderson ]. Fees are shared by owners proportionally, based on percentage of property owned, and payment schedules are set by the HOA."

"text": "Homeowners Unite!Thanks to Gary Feltner, you can read about how his homeowner’s association and others were being subjected to a little scam he was able to put the stopper on. Just shows you what one person can do independently!Alleged Extortion by Property Management Companies Background Due to my real estate investments (buying/selling) I’ve uncovered an extortion trend performed by several Property Management (PM) companies in the Austin, TX area. The companies I describe also manage Home Owner’s Associations (HOA). This is important because they are extorting money from the HOA members WITHOUT jurisdiction and without board of directors even knowing. The fee which I am talking about is called a “Resale Certificate” and/or “Transfer Fees”. The Texas statute which governs this document and issuance is the Texas Property Code Chapter 207. This particular code simply says if a buyer is buying a house which is governed by a Property Management Association (aka HOA), then the HOA is obligated to provide 15 items of information related to that HOA. It goes on to say that an HOA can charge a reasonable fee to assemble, copy and deliver such document. What has happened is that PMs at one time charged $50.00 to create a “Resale Certificate”; however, today this charge ranges between $300.00-$700.00 or more. How the Extortion Scheme Works Here is the scheme which can occur when an HOA hires a PM to help manage the HOA.1."

Generally, homeowner members agree to be governed by homeowners associations (HOAs) and bylaws regulating members' activities. Failing to adhere to HOA bylaws can lead to issues for members. For example, condo community HOAs may be able to fine members in violation of bylaws and foreclose and then evict members that are delinquent in dues.

"text": "Did you know your homeowners’ association (HOA) can make it extremely difficult to sell your condo? As a condo owner, you have to follow the rules of the HOA. You don’t have control over the common areas, you have to pay your monthly dues and assessments, and you have to play by the rules of the condo association. You understood, when you bought the condo, that you’d be subject to certain restrictions. But you, like most sellers and their real estate agents, probably aren’t aware about the potential red flags an HOA can cause until the condo has a buyer with a contract to purchase and that buyer can’t get a loan because of the HOA issues. The red flags typically show up in the Condo Cert (also known as a Condo Questionnaire) document. The Condo Cert, required by the buyer’s lender, assists banks in assessing the health and financial status of the HOA. They want to be sure there is minimal risk in lending on a condo in the HOA. The Condo Cert is standard practice when underwriting a home loan. The HOA’s management company, or an HOA representative if the condo complex is self-managed, normally completes the Condo Cert once the property is in escrow."

A species which is particularly active during the day (diurnal) and very energetic which makes them an extremely interesting and amusing captive to observe. Western Hognose have heavily keeled (ridged) scales giving them a generally rough feel. Some of the many common names are plains hognose, blowing adder, blowing viper, common hognose. Experience Level Beginner to Intermediate - Whilst we do recommend Western Hognose snakes to beginners we would not normally recommend them as a first snake due to the \"\"other observations\"\" made below regarding their temperament and feeding habits. Temperament Energetic & inquisitive but easily tamed. Hognoses are full of character, extremely active and great fun!Venom Hognose snakes are mildly venomous and possess enlarged rear fangs which may or may not be slightly grooved and it is therefore, as far as we are aware, unclear as to whether or not these fangs are capable of delivering their venom. It is more likely that any envenoming is done by delivering the contents of its Duvernoy's gland through a simple chewing action as is the case in other species who do not possess enlarged fangs. The enlarged fangs of the hognose were once believed to be used to deflate toads but as the natural diet of westerns is documented as only around 50% amphibian and other hognose species eat only small quantities of amphibians, this seems unlikely. In general, they are all about bluff and normally have no desire to bite."

For this reason, everyone living here should learn how to recognize this snake species. Rattlesnakes are most known for the rattles on their tails and their large front fangs that deliver a poisonous bite. Prairie rattlesnakes are 35 to 45 inches long (89-114 cm) with a record length of 57 inches (144.8 cm). Although they weigh only about one pound (0.5 kg), they have a heavy or bulky-appearing body. Their gray-green bodies with greenish blotches are camouflaged to blend in with the prairie landscape. Their most identifiable features are their wide, triangular-shaped head, skinny neck, and blunt tail. Rattlesnakes have 2 long, curved fangs that can be folded back inside the mouth. The fangs are attached to the front of the upper jaws. When they intend to bite, rattlesnakes extend the fangs forward and their large jaw muscles squeeze the venom from glands on each side of the snake's head into the hollow fangs."

Because these snakes prefer a habitat with well-drained soils, and little vegetation, they are most commonly found in a dry prairie or oak savanna. Their range runs from southern Canada, through the plains of the United States and into the northern parts of Mexico. In Minnesota, they are most commonly found in the Anoka Sand Plain, which is an ecological region that stretches from North Branch to St. Cloud. Unfortunately, this area has a rapidly growing population, which is leading to habitat loss for the western hognose snake and other animals that live in this specific region of the state. In Minnesota, the western hognose will frequently make its home in the old burrows of pocket gophers. What do hognose snakes eat?

A number of potentially dangerous animals inhabit the country, including snakes, invertebrates, sharks and crocodiles. Snakes Several dangerously venomous snakes inhabit El Salvador. Coral snakes (Micrurus sp.) are dangerous, snake-eating elapids who are ringed in red, yellow and black. Cantils (Agkistrodon bilineatus), jumping vipers (Atropoides occinduus), mountain pit vipers (Cerrophidion godmani), hognosed pit vipers (Porthidium ophryomegas) and Central American rattlesnakes (Crotalus simus) are all venomous pit vipers native to the country. Several mildly venomous colubrids inhabit the country, but human cases of envenomation are rare. Crocodilians The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) lives along the coast of El Salvador and is the largest crocodilian found in the region -- occasionally exceeding 20-feet in length.

Sadly, for some people, their first reaction to a snake is to pick up the nearest shovel or hoe and quickly dispatch the intruder. Snakes, however, play a key role in the balance of nature. We often are asked: What kind of snake is it? Is this snake poisonous? What good are snakes anyway? The following information is an attempt to answer some of the most commonly-asked questions about these fascinating, yet all too often persecuted, maligned, and misunderstood creatures. Snakes look so different, Where do they fit in with the other animals?"

"text": "Pets Reptiles Do snakes come out at night? I live in the Midwest and I'm concerned about stepping on snakes at night when I can't see them.2 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Snakes are cold blooded they need heat to stay warm, they mostly come out when its 75-95 outside. That's why you don't see them in the winter, when a snake gets to cold it will go into hibernation. So at night a snake will most likely be under the ground or rock that the sun has be baking all-day to stay warm and sleep. So concerning yourself with stepping on one at night is nice and all but it will very rarely happen and not really something you need to worry that much about. Source (s): Snake owner.love or lust · 8 years ago2 1 Comment Snakes are cold blooded, but they are also (*EDITED type O) nocturnal. It is true they move around a lot during the day, but only so they can follow the warm sun, or get away from the sun. Then they go back to sleep. At night, most snakes go hunting which means they are more active and alert. You shouldn't worry about a snake attack you, snakes avoid biting anything they can't eat."

They are distinguished by the presence of a heat-sensing pit organ located between the eye and the nostril on either side of the head. Currently, 18 genera and 151 species are recognized: [5] seven genera and 54 species in the Old World, against a greater diversity of 11 genera and 97 species in the New World. These are also the only viperids found in the Americas. The groups of snakes represented here include rattlesnakes, lanceheads, and Asian pit vipers. The type genus for this subfamily is Crotalus, of which the type species is the timber rattlesnake, C. horridus. [ citation needed]These snakes range in size from the diminutive hump-nosed viper, Hypnale hypnale, that grows to an average only 30–45 cm (12–18 in), to the bushmaster, Lachesis muta, a species known to reach a maximum of 3.65 m (12.0 ft) in length. What makes this group unique is that they all share a common characteristic: a deep pit, or fossa, in the loreal area between the eye and the nostril on either side of the head. These loreal pits are the external openings to a pair of extremely sensitive infrared -detecting organs, which in effect give the snakes a sixth sense to help them find and perhaps even judge the size of the small, warm-blooded prey on which they feed. [ 6] osine triphosphate, monoamine oxidase, generalized esterases, and acetylcholine esterase have also been found in it. ["

Sometimes we call them \"\"folk tales.\"\" Myths often include forces of nature, supernatural or spiritual beings, ancestors or heroes, and historical accounts. Myths are typically old, even ancient. Originally, most people accepted myths as being true explanations of things they experienced. More recently, however, people question things in terms of historical and scientific accuracy. As a result, we find many, but not all myths to be false. Today, a myth generally is thought of as a fiction, or at best a half-truth. Still, in many cases we can see how a myth got its start."

"text": "How to Identify Venomous Snakes May 9, 2013 by Melanie Swick | 8 Comments Tweet Spend a little time outdoors on nearly any continent, and you will eventually encounter a snake—likely sooner than later. The key to surviving this encounter is the ability to quickly and accurately determine whether you’re facing a minor annoyance or a deadly threat. You can often identify a venomous snake by looking for certain physical features, which unfortunately means you must be closer to them than you’d like. That’s never a good thing. This isn’t a fool-proof solution though, because there are some that do not posses these features.1.) Venomous snakes generally have a thick triangular head that is wide in proportion to their body like the rattlesnake hiding amongst these rocks.2.) As with this cottonmouth, venomous snakes often have a stout, heavier bodies, compared to the thin, lighter bodies of many non-venomous snakes.3.) Most venomous snakes have elliptical pupils that resemble long narrow slits, as seen in the baby copperhead below, rather than the round pupils you find in most creatures.4.) All snakes have teeth, but only venomous snakes have fangs capable of delivering poison, as shown by this bush viper. They often display their fangs long before striking in an attempt to scare you away—and it usually works.5.)"

You may choose from a wide variety of hollyhocks, dwarf to tall, single or double blooms. Most hollyhocks are biennial, meaning they bloom every other year. Fortunately, you can get a head start by planting your hollyhock seeds in the fall. Buy your hollyhock seeds, or harvest them from the dried seed pods of spent blooms on established plants. If you look around, you may notice hollyhocks in the garden of your neighbor, friends or family. Ask if you can harvest the seed pods in late summer or early fall. Select the location you want your hollyhocks to grow. It should be a sunny spot with good, loamy soil that drains well, though hollyhocks are not picky and can grow in almost any type of soil. Because of the height of hollyhocks, it is better to select a location for them that is out of the wind, so you do not need to stake them later to keep them upright."

These hollyhocks were biennial, from seed they take two years to complete a life cycle, and I didn't save any seeds and so lost both of them. Why didn't I save seeds from my hollyhocks? Not really sure why I didn't since hollyhock seeds are easy to collect. If you have a hollyhock in your garden that you really like, you should save some seeds from it every year and sow them. Collecting and saving hollyhock seeds is very simple. How to collect and save hollyhock seeds The hollyhocks blooms in your garden will probably be pollinated by bees. Bumblebees, in particular seem to really like hollyhock blooms. After the bloom has been pollinated the petals will fall off. When the bloom's petals fall off they expose the pod where the seeds are developing."

"text": "By Terry W. Johnson The stress of the long, hot summer is beginning to show on the flowers in my backyard. For weeks, the zinnias, salvias, coneflowers and a host of others along with untold numbers of hummingbirds and butterflies attracted to them have treated my family to a veritable kaleidoscope of color. Knowing that soon the flowers time will be over, I must admit that I am filled with mixed emotions. Hummingbirds are departing in droves. As the flowers continue to wither and die, the butterflies will also disappear. Meanwhile, I also realize that the flowers that fed nectar feeders throughout the summer will continue to attract and feed a host of birds if I don't do anything at all. As amazing as that may seem, leaving flowers standing after they have gone to seed is a great way to feed birds. However, for some reason, we backyard gardeners learn someplace along the way that good gardeners cut down flowers at the end of the growing season. Consequently, this form of bird feeding is not practiced in most backyards. This fall, when temperatures plummet and Jack Frost makes his first visit, blanketing our gardens with white, resist the temptation to cut down the flowers that were killed by the frost."

Latin Alcea rosea Family: Malvaceae Difficulty Easy Season & Zone Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Zone: 2-9Timing Start hollyhocks 6-8 weeks before planting out after the last frost date. On the coast, you would start seeds indoors in late February to early March, and transplant out in April or May. An early start may result in flowering the first year. Seeds germinate in 10-14 days. Ideal soil temperature for germination: 15-21°C (60-70°F). Starting Sow seeds on the surface of the soil, and provide bright light. Use peat or coir pots in an effort to minimize root disturbance. Transplant at 45-60cm (18-36″) apart. Growing Grow in rich, moist soil with good drainage and a neutral p H range of 6.0-7.5. The most important factor is good air circulation, so do not crowd plants or plant too close to structures, hedges, etc… Keep well watered and feed a few times during the growing season."

"text": "\"Home » My Country Gardens » Growing Hollyhocks the Easy Way Growing Hollyhocks the Easy Way Tweet Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) belong to the mallow family. The botanical name comes from the Latin word “altheo,” which means “to cure,” because some hollyhocks have medicinal properties. The old-fashioned hollyhocks are hardy perennials but they are short-lived. They form foliage the first year and don’t produce flowers until the second year. Many of my hollyhocks will continue to flower for another two or three years after that without any special attention, and there are always younger hollyhock plants to take their place. Many of the gardening experts advise planting the seeds in sandy soil in May, transplanting them to ten inches apart in the fall, and then finally moving them to their permanent location. Hollyhocks, even seedling hollyhocks, have a long taproot that can be very difficult to transplant. Hollyhocks will always do best if their roots aren’t disturbed. This is not a plant that likes to be moved around. Hollyhocks can be planted in early spring or in early fall, but I have had the best results with fall plantings and with just scattering a few of my dried collected seeds over the area where I want them to grow."

"text": "Hollyhocks - a favorite summer flower Sandra Mason State Master Gardener Coordinator [email protected] Probably no other plant is more closely associated with summers on the farm than hollyhocks. Many a childhood memory includes a view of colorful spires of bell shaped flowers rising above the sight and smell of chicken pens and cowpies. Hollyhocks with their flowers reminiscent of ladies waiting in line for a summer cotillion have become more popular recently with the interest in cottage gardens. At 5-9 feet tall they can be used as a towering background plant in a flower border, or along a fence or wall. The older varieties of hollyhocks are short-lived perennials that are usually treated as biennials. The first year flowering is sparse, but the second year they show their glory flowering June to late August. Although the plant may live and flower for several years, it rarely flowers as much as a new plant started from seed. Once hollyhocks are established their self seeding characteristic keeps them blooming like new each year. Seeds may be sown now or in August to produce flowering plants next year. Many of the newer cultivars flower the first year from seed."

"text": "\"Whether you are a casual weekend gardener or cultivate an elaborate cottage garden or English garden, there's likely a place in your landscape for the old-fashioned favorite, Hollyhock. Easy to grow from seed, Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea \"\"Summer Carnival\"\" pictured here) have been favorites of gardeners for hundreds of years due to their large size, showy flowers, and easy cultivation. Growing quickly (after a waiting period) up to 12 feet and even higher, Hollyhocks make good back of border plants, screening plants, or even focal points in the landscape. Hollyhocks are closely related to Hibiscus, Rose of Sharon, and okra, other well-known members of the Mallow family, all of which grow to good-sized plant specimens with similar flowering habits. As Biennials or short-lived Perennials, they will not flower in the same year the seeds are planted, but rather will form a rosette of leaves in the first year, and then zoom upward and flower surprisingly quickly in late spring or early summer of the next year. Use anywhere that a background, screen, or tall accent plant is needed. Highlight a front door or garden entryway for impressive impact, or to soften the line of a fence. Use as a screen or divider to hide a neighbor's yard, telephone pole, or utility area, or plant in front of a deck to screen the barren area underneath. Plants reseed themselves readily, and as such, once the first year is over, there should be a continuous supply of ready-to-bloom plants in any particular year once the plants are started in an area. Red is the most common color for Hollyhocks, but many more colors are readily available to the average gardener today, including yellow, purple, white, and pink variations, as well as near black."

Wild species may be smaller, but you will know you have a Mallow when you find a funnel-shaped flower with 5 separate petals and a distinctive column of stamens surrounding the pistil. There are also 3-5 partially united sepals, often surrounded by several bracts. Crush any part of the plant and rub it between your fingers. You will notice a mucilaginous (slimy) texture, even in seemingly dry, desert species. Worldwide there are about 85 genera and 1500 species, including 27 genera in North America. Hollyhock, hibiscus, and cotton are members of this family. Cotton is the only member of this family with documented poisonous properties. All others seem to be safe for edible and medicinal uses.

If so, we have a few things for you to try before you despair of ever growing this lovely cottage flower successfully. Find out how to control hollyhock rust in this article. What is Hollyhock Rust? Caused by the fungus Puccinia heterospora, hollyhock rust is a disfiguring disease that infects members of the Alcea (hollyhock) family. It begins as yellow spots on top of the leaves with rusty pustules on the undersides. Over time the spots can grow together and destroy large sections of the leaves, causing them to die and drop off. At this point, the stems may also develop spots. Although the plant may not die, you may want to put hollyhocks with rust fungus out of their misery because of the severe disfigurement. Does hollyhock rust spread to other plants?"

"text": "Home »Flowers Care of Hollyhocks By Willow Sidhe; Updated September 21, 2017Hollyhocks, also known as Alcea rosea or Althea, are biennial flowering plants native to China that self-seed so abundantly, they appear as perennials. Gardeners value the short-lived plants for their large, single or double hibiscus-like flowers that bloom in midsummer to early fall. Blossoms are borne on tall, upright flower stalks in shades of white, yellow, pink, red and purple, depending on variety. Hardy in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, hollyhocks require only minimal maintenance to thrive in most areas of the country once established, although they are susceptible to foliage rust. Plant hollyhocks during spring or summer in a location that receives full sunlight throughout the day. Choose a planting site that consists of well-drained, rich, fertile soil for optimal growth. Space hollyhocks 18 to 36 inches apart. Water when the top 3 to 4 inches of soil begin to dry out, about once every five days. Decrease watering frequency to once every 10 days during winter. Apply water directly to the soil to minimize the chance of disease."

About Hollyhocks A heirloom plant grown in many gardens, the hollyhock (Althea rosea) grows in zones 3 to 8. In June, disk-shaped colourful flowers bloom and last into August. Growing up to a height of 6 feet, hollyhocks are planted as a border plant. The hollyhock also self seeds, creating masses of the plant growing in one area. Misconceptions The hollyhock plants have no toxic properties and will not poison dogs. Because it is nontoxic to animals and humans, some people use the flowers of the hollyhock as an edible garnish in salads. Preventing Ingestion Even though hollyhocks are not found to be poisonous to dogs, any plant material a dog ingests has the potential to make the animal sick to its stomach."

The flower stalks on hollyhocks can reach heights of 9 feet tall! They can tower above a garden, adding a lovely vertical element to your yard. Let’s look at a few tips on hollyhocks to help you grow them in your yard. How to Plant Hollyhocks The first thing to understand is how to plant hollyhocks. Hollyhocks need full sun and moist, rich, well drained soil. The mistake many novice hollyhock growers make is to plant this flower in soil that is too dry. If you are planting seeds, sow the seeds outside about a week before last frost. If you are planting seedlings out, wait about two to three weeks after last frost. Hollyhock seeds only need to be planted right below the soil, no more than 1/4-inch deep."

Growing Hollyhocks in a Container Bad Insects for a Hollyhocks Plant Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) are tall plants that add structure to many types of gardens, from cottage gardens to formal gardens. The long spikes of red, pink or white flowers bloom during the summer, and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Hollyhocks grow in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 through 10, and are biennial or perennial in warmer zones. They grow in light shade to full sun, in most types of well-drained soil. Sun Is Healthier Although hollyhocks tolerate light shade, they grow stronger and fuller in full sun. Hollyhocks growing in the shade tend to be weak and spindly with fewer stalks than those growing in full sun. They are also more prone to diseases, especially rust, when grown in the shade. Rust is a fungal disease that causes powdery, orange spots on the undersides of infected leaves. While not fatal to plants, the infection can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop off prematurely."

At 5-9 feet tall they can be used as a towering background plant in a flower border, or along a fence or wall. Hollyhocks ( Alcea rosea) are tough plants, but they do have some insect and disease problems. Hollyhock rust is the most common and widespread disease and has been particularly prevalent this year. Rust is a fungus that first appears on the undersides of lower leaves as lemon-yellow to orange pustules that darken with age. The top of the leaf shows bright yellow to orange spots with reddish centers. Spots may quickly come together to destroy large portions of the leaf."

When outdoors, teach your child to stay away from plants and not to eat any non-food items. Make sure you and your child’s caregivers know the names of all plants and trees inside and outside your home. It’s a good idea to leave the tags on all items you bring home from a plant nursery.

The Property Condition Disclosure Statement (PCDS) is a disclosure of what a Seller knows about their property. There are several versions of the document (see below) which has a series of questions for Sellers to give a potential Buyer a guideline of what the Seller knows about the condition of the property. The Strata condo version asks condo specific questions such as parking stall numbers, locker numbers or whether the building has had water leaks, insect infestations, structural issues, etc The Residential version for single family houses asks many of the same questions, but asks questions more relevant to this type of housing.

There wasn't a single person responsible for the entire process at Chase and I think this was the source of most of the issues we've experienced. Mortgage application process: I'm not sure how many times our application forms had to be filled out and signed using mymortgage.chase.com and emails, but there were always documents missing that weren't uploaded or sent to us. We did countless back and forth during 10 days. Then Chase used the wrong State name (Delaware instead of New York) in our application file, we had to file a new application package again. My wife and I had to come in person to a local branch in Brooklyn as we wanted to sign all the papers in person and make sure that nothing was missing this time. At the closing, Chase asked me to sign many of the same documents all over again. Interest rate: when the rates were around 4.10% we were advised by Chase to wait and not lock right away. The rates went up and we locked at around 4.375% when we were advised by Chase to lock. It took over 2 months between the time we provided Chase with a signed contract on January 17th and our closing on March 22nd."

"text": "Bridge Loans A “ bridge loan ” is basically a short term loan taken out by a borrower against their current property to finance the purchase of a new property. Also known as a swing loan, gap financing, or interim financing, a bridge loan is typically good for a six month period, but can extend up to 12 months. Most bridge loans carry an interest rate roughly 2% above the average fixed-rate product and come with equally high closing costs. Bridge loans are generally taken out when a borrower is looking to upgrade to a bigger home, and haven’t yet sold their current home. A bridge loan essentially “bridges the gap” between the time the old property is sold and the new property is purchased. Home Buying Contingencies In a competitive housing market Home sellers typically won’t agree to contingencies from the buyer To solve the buy before you sell quandary A bridge loan might be a good solution Many purchase contracts have contingencies that allow the buyer to agree to the terms only if certain actions occur. For example, a buyer may not have to go through with the purchase of the new home they are in contract for unless they’re able to sell their old home first. This gives the home buyer protection in the event no one buys their home, or if nobody is willing to buy the property at the terms they desire. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] When a home seller won’t accept the buyer’s contingency, a bridge loan might be the next best way to finance the new home."

Federal law requires certain disclosures, such as the existence of asbestos or lead-based paint in the home or other known health or safety risks. But the enforcement of other disclosures (such as reporting certain environmental conditions pertinent to the area, or the existence of Megan’s Law offenders) will be determined by local ordinance or law. The typical seller disclosure form is several pages long, and it asks the seller to report known defects in the home. This will include the appliances, as well as information about electrical, heating, sewer, water or other mechanical systems. The roof, foundation and other structural elements will be included in the report, as well as latent or hidden defects that are not apparent from a visual inspection, such as: the presence of mold, a crack in the foundation or a prior flooding problem. Anything that is known — and that could pose a possible threat to the health or safety of the buyer — must be disclosed. If the seller is not aware of these problems, however, he is not obligated to hire an independent investigator unless that is stipulated in the purchase contract."

"text": "Typical Closing Costs For Sellers In Chicago April 5, 2014 By Michael Cuevas 1 Comment4 Flares Twitter Tweet Facebook Pin It Share Google+ Linked In Email Email to a friend Filament.io Made with Flare More Info Selling Your Chicago Property? When you sell your Chicago property you should know your typical closing costs for a seller. The most important thing should be the bottom line figure you’ll walk away with after closing. What you walk away with is more important than your gross sales price. Regardless of how much equity you have in your home, you should get an accurate net sheet (closing cost sheet showing your walk away figure) up front so that you can be prepared to make a decision quickly on any offer presented. Do you like negotiating blindly? I didn’t think so, GET A NET SHEET!It’s crazy to me how many sellers list their properties without having an idea of what their walk away figure it going to be. Without knowing the typical closing costs involved for a seller, how can you determine what an acceptable sales price is for your property? One of the first things you should do before you put your home on the market is to ask your agent to prepare a net sheet. A net sheet should give you accurate information on the NET number you will walk away with after all typical closing costs for a seller."

"text": "Real estate agent responsibilities Real estate agents work on the basis of sales commissions. Home sellers do not pay the agent until the house is sold. The agent’s commission is taken from the proceeds of the sale as a percentage of the selling price. In some cases, flat fees may be agreed upon in advance, but this is not typical. Sellers should check with prospective agents about their commission rates while, at the same time, checking on the agent’s record of success. To get a license, real estate agents pass a rigorous state examination that covers both proper marketing practices and the numerous legal considerations in the sale and transfer of property from one person to another. Additionally, real estate companies and local associations of agents establish ethical practices that contribute to the standards of professional conduct. This gives reasonable assurance to sellers that an agent is reputable, and the ethical standards enhance the reputation of this high-stakes business profession.

"text": "\"By Ilyce Glink | June 24th, 2009You can hate to pay them, but closing costs on the sale of a home are unavoidable. The list of closing cost fees is endless. They can really add up to an enormous sum and deprive sellers of their hard-earned home equity when they sell a home. High closing costs and fees can cut into the profit a seller is expecting to pocket from the sale of his or her home or increase the amount of money the seller needs to come to the closing if the seller owes more money on his mortgages than the amount he or she will net from the sale of the home. A buyer’s closing costs might typically range from 2 to 7 percent of the sales price, or $2,000 to $7,000 on the purchase of a $100,000 home. But a seller’s closing costs often go way beyond that, simply because most sellers use a full-service agent to sell their home, which can add an additional 4 to 7 percent to the closing cost total. The list of closing costs can add up to several dozen items. Here is a list of some of the items you can expect to pay as a home seller: Seller Closing Costs* Broker’s commission. If you’re using a full-service brokerage firm, expect to pay anywhere from 4 to 7 percent of the sales price. If you’re using a discount broker, or if you’ve sold by-owner, your cost may range from a few hundred dollars to 3 percent of the sales price. *"

To qualify for a partial exclusion of gain, meaning an exclusion of gain less than the full amount, you must meet one of the situations listed in Does Your Home Qualify for a Partial Exclusion of Gain?, later.

"text": "\"November 1, 2017 • 5 min read by Gerri Detweiler 16 Comments When it’s time to sell your house, you may have visions of dollar signs dancing in your head, but the truth is, a lot of those dollars will never make it into your bank account. Instead, they end up in the pockets of real estate agents. You’ve probably heard that agents, on average, take a 6% commission off of your home’s sale price. On a $300,000 home, that’s a whopping $18,000. Before handing over that chunk of change, it’s important to understand what it pays for—and if there’s anything you can do about it. How Do Real Estate Agents Get Paid? First, let’s take a look at the history of realtor fees. Realtor fees are usually paid as a commission, although flat fees apply in rare cases. This commission is taken right off the top of the selling price of the home, so many sellers don’t really feel the impact because they never had the money to begin with. Since the 1950s, the National Association of Realtors has used a “suggested” commission rate for real estate agents."

"text": "\"Loading the player... What is a 'Promissory Note'A promissory note is a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party (the note's issuer or maker) to pay another party (the note's payee) a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date. A promissory note typically contains all the terms pertaining to the indebtedness, such as the principal amount, interest rate, maturity date, date and place of issuance, and issuer's signature. Although financial institutions may issue them (see below), promissory notes are debt instruments that allow companies and individuals to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or a company willing to carry the note (and provide the financing) under the agreed-upon terms. In effect, anyone becomes a lender when he issues a promissory note. Next Up Note Mortgage-Backed Note Cash Basis Taxpayer Loan Note BREAKING DOWN 'Promissory Note'Promissory notes, as well as bills of exchange, are governed by the 1930s international convention, which also stipulates that the term \"\"promissory note\"\" should be inserted in the body of the instrument and should contain an unconditional promise to pay. In terms of their legal enforceability, promissory notes lie somewhere between the informality of an IOU and the rigidity of a loan contract. A promissory note includes a specific promise to pay, and the steps required to do so (like the repayment schedule), while an an IOU merely acknowledges that a debt exists, and the amount one party owes another. A loan contract, on the other hand, usually states the lender’s right to recourse – such as foreclosure – in the event of default by the borrower; such provisions are generally absent in a promissory note. While it might make note of the consequences of non-payment or untimely payments (such as late fees), it does not usually explain methods of recourse if the issuer does not pay on time."

"text": "Is it a legally binding contract? June 25 by Catriona 77 comments In order to know your rights under sale of goods and/or service agreements, it is important firstly to understand the basic principles of contract law. Contract law is all about enforcing promises and making them legally binding irrespective of whether there is something in writing to this effect. Despite the word ‘contract’, and contrary to popular belief, a written contract is not required in order for these obligations to exist in law. A contract may also be formed verbally or by implication, simply by one party making an offer and the other party accepting that offer – even purchasing an item in a shop, or getting into a taxi are examples of this. Of course it must be proved that both offer and acceptance were clearly communicated and understood, that both parties were legally capable of making those promises, and there was something being offered in exchange for the promise (usually money). And while ‘putting it in writing’ is not necessary for a legally binding contract to exist, as the next section will show us, it may be hard to prove what was otherwise agreed.

"text": "Judgment Liens on Property in Texas Posted by Courthouse Direct.com Team - 07 March, 2018A judgment lien is a court-ordered arrangement in which the creditor (the person who won the judgment) can place a lien on the debtor’s (the person who owes the money) property to ensure that he or she gets what the debtor owes. A judgmentlien on real property in Texas means that if the debtor cannot pay up, the creditor has the right to sell the property and use money from the proceeds to fulfill the judgment. Each state has its own laws regarding when, why, and how one could use a judgment lien upon completion of a civil court case. Here’s how the law works in Texas. What Is a Judgment Lien? There are two main court systems in Texas: criminal and civil. In a criminal court case, the judge will order a guilty defendant to complete a sentence as punishment, such as jail time. In a civil court case, the goal is to compensate the victim for the losses the defendant caused through an act of negligence or intent to harm. A civil case can result in a judgment in which the defendant must pay for the claimant’s medical bills, lost wages, court costs, and other fees. As a type of insurance to make sure the defendant in a civil case will pay the claimant, the judge might order a judgment lien against the debtor."

OBTAINING A MECHANIC'S LIENAll of the following conditions must be true before your repair or storage facility can establish a mechanic's lien: Charges for the vehicle's or motor home's repairs, rebuilding or storage must go unpaid for a period of at least thirty (30) days. For trailers ONLY, charges must go unpaid for at least ninety (90) days. Charges must be supported by a repair authorization as required by Maryland commercial law and a completed repair order authorized by the vehicle owner or the person who brought the vehicle in for repair, including a detailed description of work performed and parts and labor costs. Storage charges must be supported by a storage contract signed by the vehicle owner or the person who brought the vehicle in for storage, or if applicable, a written statement from the storage facility describing the agreement with an insurer or other party. Notes: A vehicle that has been abandoned does not qualify for a mechanic's lien."

"text": "What Is A Short Sale? A short sale is the sale of a property for less than what the owner still owes on the mortgage. A short sale is an alternative to foreclosure when a homeowner needs to sell and can no longer afford to make their mortgage payments. The lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed to pay off a loan now rather than taking the property back by foreclosure and trying to sell it later. Lenders agree to a short sale because they believe it will net them more money than going forward with a lengthy and costly foreclosure process. Can Any Real Estate Agent Effectively Handle My Short Sale? No. A short sale is a very complicated real estate transaction and one that has very important implications for you. More than any other type of residential real estate transaction, a short sale should be handled only by a real estate broker who has substantial experience with the short sale process , and a strong track-record of success in negotiating short sales for their clients.

"text": "\"Some mortgage lenders have a prepayment penalty if you sell too early. Selling your property while in mortgage is a fairly common thing. Being in mortgage simply means you still owe money to your lender and have not yet satisfied your home loan. Typical mortgages run 15 to 30 years, and homeowners regularly sell their homes to move before loans are paid. First Step The first thing to do when you get together with a real estate listing agent is to find out your current mortgage payoff. This helps you and your agent figure out what your current borrowing situation is and how much you need to sell your home for to cover the loan balance. Your mortgage lender usually gives you a payoff quote good for a certain period of time. The Simple Process In an ideal home sale process, you sell the home and get enough money to easily pay off your loan balance. In this situation, your agent usually works with your title company and real estate lawyer to prepare loan closing documents and a settlement statement. When the buyer closes on your home, his funds are used to pay the remaining balance on your loan and any additional fees you owe in the sale."

"text": "\"Fraudulent Nigerian Counterfeit Cashier's Check Net-based Bank Draft / Postal Money Order Online Over-payment \"\"Criminal Cashback\"\" Auction Purchase / Rent Payment Scams As a rule, any scheme that asks someone to accept money orders or cashiers checks and then return money by wire to a party overseas should be considered a scam. One of the current schemes involves a scammer contacting someone who has an item for sale on the Internet. The person pulling the scam will send the seller a check for more than the amount of what they are purchasing, like sending a $7,000 check for a $5,000 car. They ask that the seller return the difference. By the time the check clears and is discovered to be counterfeit, the seller is out a couple thousand dollars. The target is usually a person selling a relatively expensive item on the Internet, or possibly even in newspaper classified ads. The seller is approached by an individual, usually from a foreign country, who wants to buy the item and pay with a cashier’s check. The buyer then says that he or she can only send a cashier’s check for an amount greater than the price of the item, and asks the seller to mail back a check for the difference. The difference may be several thousand dollars. The unsuspecting victim sends the buyer the difference and only later finds out the cashier’s check was counterfeit."

"text": "Harlan C. Area Manageron Wed Feb 11 2009, 5:23AM VIEWCapital gain is not the amount you receive at closing for the sale of a home. Simply put, and specific tax situations are rarely simple, capital gain is the difference in the amount realized from the sale of the home less the adjusted basis of the home. On the other hand, the amount you receive at closing is the sales price less the closing costs less the amount owed on the home. Capital gain has nothing to do with how much is owed on the home. So to compute capital gain you need to know the amount realized on the sale and the adjusted basis of the asset sold. The amount realized is the selling price less the selling expenses. So if a home was sold for $200,000 and the selling expenses were $15,000, the amount realized was $185,000. The basis in the home is usually, but not always, what the home cost. For example what if the home was inherited? In that case the fair market value is used as the basis."

That is no guarantee that any particular home builder is doing business ethically, providing real value, satisfying customers, or is even competent, since state registration doesn't require any exam, test of ability or classes, nor proof of worker's compensation insurance to protect you from claims if their employee is injured on your property.

Subcontractors working for the new home builders are not regulated by the state in that way however, nor are mobile home builders or manufacturered home builders, unless they are also selling it. Distinct Requirements of Custom Home Builders in Maryland State law defines a custom home builder as one building a home on land you already own. These custom home builders in Baltimore County MD are required by law to put all payments by you prior to completion that exceed 5% of the contract price, into an escrow account, and the checks you write should be payable directly to that escrow account, not payable to the custom home builders directly. Custom home builders are required to provide you in writing with a \"\"draw schedule\"\", a form that details the dollar amount that the builders are entitled to as work progresses on the project after certain specified items of work have been completed."

"text": "\"They say it is better to give than receive, but when it comes to taxes, the old saying has it backwards. You can give and receive small gifts without any negative tax implications, but gifts of significant value, like a home or vacant land, can result in tax liability. In general, gift givers face the burden of gift-related taxes, but you might have other tax liabilities if you receive a home as a gift. Gift Tax The Internal Revenue service uses the gift tax as a means of preventing people from giving away all their wealth to avoid estate taxes when they die. According to the IRS, when you give a gift that exceeds $13,000 in value in one year, the excess is subtracted from a $5 million \"\"unified credit.\"\" If you use up your unified credit by giving too many large gifts, additional gifts are subject to gift tax. After you pass away, any remaining unified credit can be applied to the assets in your estate to exempt them from estate taxes. When your parents give you a home, they are going to use up part of their unified credit, but you don't owe any gift tax yourself. The IRS says that under special arrangements, you can agree to pay gift-related taxes on behalf of the giver. Real Estate Tax Even though you may not have tax liability at the time you receive a home as a gift, homeowners usually have to pay real estate taxes to state and local governments."

"text": "What Is An IRS Tax Lien And How Does It Affect Me? Written by David K. Petzinger, Esq. on January 19, 2016Federal IRS Tax Lien An IRS Tax Lien is a legal claim on your property for the amount owed. An IRS tax lien is also the legal right to collect on the amount owed. An IRS Tax lien starts when a tax is assessed and you don’t pay it. For example, if you file a tax return owing $50,000 and you do not pay it, then you will be “assessed” the tax, penalty and interest on that $50,000. The IRS will send you a “ Notice and Demand ” asking you to pay the assessed balance. You are usually given 10 days to make the payment. If you do not pay it within 10 days, then a lien arises automatically dating back to the time the assessment was made. This is what I would call a silent tax lien or statutory lien because no one really knows it is there and it is created by federal statute, Internal Revenue Code sections 6321 and 6322."

"text": "Rent or Lease: $0-$250 a year Buy Aboveground Tank: $450-$2,500 Buy Underground Tank: $1,800-$3,500E-mail Post Tweet Comments (41)Propane is a gas that turns liquid under moderate pressure, so propane storage tanks are pressurized. They're designed to be installed either aboveground or underground (with special coatings to prevent rust and corrosion). Although there's a wide range of sizes available, aboveground residential tanks typically come in 120, 250, 500 or 1,000 gallons and underground tanks are usually 500 or 1,000 gallons. A storage tank can be leased from the propane company (common in many areas) or owned by the homeowner (providing the ability to shop for the best price but also responsibility for maintenance and repairs). Typical costs: Most propane dealers will provide, install and maintain a residential propane storage tank, renting or leasing it to the homeowner. In some cases the use of the tank is free if the homeowner buys a minimum amount of propane each year. ( Minimums vary by location and tank size, and can range from 100-1,500 gallons.) More often, the propane company charges a fee of anywhere from $25-$250 a year but averaging around $75-$130 annually, depending on local rates, the size of the tank and whether it's aboveground or underground. Leased tanks typically are installed for free. A Conneticut propane dealer [ 1] leases a 120 gallon tank for $80 a year and a 500-gallon tank for $225, with a minimum three-year contract."

This tidbit comes as just another reminder that the cost of a model—even the cost of fixing that model—doesn't matter nearly as much as the profile of the typical driver for that model when it comes to figuring insurance costs. \"\" The least expensive vehicles [to insure] are ones you have to drive and no one wants to,\"\" Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) recently told Insure.com. But that's not a completely accurate picture. The Odyssey stands as one of the best-handling, best-performing minivans, according to the editors of our companion review site The Car Connection.com and a wide range of other sources. The base 2010 Honda Odyssey LX starts at $26,805 (plus $780 destination) and costs just $1,095 to insure annually, on average. The Volkswagen Routan S, for instance, starts at $25,900 but costs significantly more—$1,254—to insure. It's true, though, that minivan drivers do tend to play it safe. And minivans, as a class of vehicle, are typically among the most affordable to insure as it stands. In Insure.com's tally of 2010-model-year vehicles, the Honda Odyssey LX was the second-cheapest vehicle to insure, after only the four-cylinder Mazda Tribute i utility vehicle."

The Pilot’s unibody construction and independent suspension is designed to provide handling similar to that of a car and has integrated perimeter frame rails to allow towing and light off-road use. Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover CR-V, and the Honda Passport, (a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo) that was a pickup truck-based design.

The 2018 Sedona is a good minivan. It has a comfortable cabin, a smooth ride, and great crash test scores. The Sedona is available with lots of features, ranging from an intuitive infotainment system to a full complement of advanced safety features. However, it offers fewer family-friendly convenience items than some rivals. Should I Buy the Kia Sedona? If most of your passengers are adults who desire passenger comfort and attractive styling, the Sedona's low base price, high-end interior, and available second-row lounge seats make it a great fit for you. However, those with small children will likely find rival minivans better equipped for their families."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides e Bay Motors Parts & Accessories Car & Truck Parts How Often To Change Transmission Fluid in a Honda Odysseye Bay 46K Views 6 Likes Like Share September 12, 2016The Honda Odyssey minivan made its debut in 1995, and while it has remains a popular make and model alongside Acura, Toyota, and Ford minivan models, the Odyssey has been known for its transmission issues. To avoid a serious problem, some mechanics have suggested it may be advisable to change the transmission fluid in a Honda Odyssey or Honda Odyssey Touring more frequently than the manufacturer recommends. Performing regular maintenance should keep a car owner from experiencing a transmission problem. Regular transmission maintenance, and maintenance in general, is the key to avoiding expensive repairs. Brake fluid levels and engine oil should all be checked and monitored on a regular basis. A very modest investment in transmission fluid and regular filter changes can potentially save car owners a large sum later on. Transmission repairs and replacements in a Honda Odyssey are often as expensive as engine repairs and replacements. Some vehicles may be more vulnerable to a faulty transmission if the owner fails to keep up with scheduled transmission fluid changes. Transmission fluid is formulated to last for a very long time, even under demanding conditions. However, the additives in the fluid can oxidize, break down, or plate onto the interior parts of the transmission."

The original, first-generation Odyssey was built through 1998. It featured a four-speed automatic mated to an inline four-cylinder engine. In 1999, the Odyssey got a six-cylinder engine, and all Odysseys built since then feature a V-6. The second-generation Odyssey debuted in the 1999 model year. It featured a four-speed automatic transmission through 2001. From 2002-2004, the Odyssey utilized a five-speed automatic.

To woo parents, the redesigned 2011 model is relying on features like an expandable second row that fits three child-safety seats, a built-in trash bag holder, and enough cupholders for 15 cans, bottles and juice boxes. The somewhat odd profile design will likely be the last thing Odyssey shoppers notice. For parents willing to pay up for the top-of-the-line $43,250 Odyssey, their little ones will literally be sitting in a surround-sound mobile movie theater that sounds better than any home theater I've set up. Yes, the Honda Odyssey is nirvana for suburban parents — but that nirvana doesn't come cheap. Parent Friendly, Kid Comfort There are a lot of nuts and bolts to like about the Odyssey; it drives well and has lots of room. While the most notable additions for 2011 may seem gimmicky on the surface, they could be considered genius for those of us who transport little ones routinely. To see each trim level's features and pricing, check out our breakdown of all seven trims here. The one feature that might entice more buyers than any other is the expandable second row of seats."

Our family’s first car was a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan SE that my dad used to shuttle me to early-morning hockey practice. ( My little brothers would hide half-eaten bagels in the seats. ) When it wasn’t schlepping hockey gear and old bagels around, our family used it for our annual summer vacation from Brooklyn to Bethany Beach, Delaware. Filled with boogie boards, Game Boys, and what felt like everything my mom owned, our forest-green Grand Caravan became everything from an Army helicopter to a karaoke room as my brothers and I entertained ourselves on the journey. To my 9-year-old self, nothing was cooler than that van and the fun-filled vacations it promised. Watch 2016 NAIAS Chrysler Pacifica View all66 Photos For most minivan buyers there’s no driving trait more important than ride and handling. Sometime between the time our family’s second minivan caught fire in 2002 (long story) and the end of the decade, the popularity of the minivan plummeted. The market went from more than 11 models at its peak to just eight or so, depending on who’s counting. The meat of the market is covered by the five Big Test competitors you see here: the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country S, 2015 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite, 2015 Kia Sedona SXL, 2014 Nissan Quest LE, and the 2015 Toyota Sienna SE."

Once the Clutch slips, it heats up very quickly, causing the rubber to (inside the clutch plate) to burn. * So time for me to replace the AC Compressor. * Total Cost: ---> AC Compressor = $255 online ---> AC Recovery/Recharge = $75 + $30 ---> PAG Oil = $8.00 ---> Total = $368 Hey, Honda dealer quoted $1500, so I save more than $1100! PARTS: 1. Compressor: ---> 2005-2007 Ody: Denso Compressor 471-1630 (previous version was 471-1629, stick to 471-1630!) --- > 2008-2010 Ody: Denso Compressor 471-1638 or 471-1639 ( +/- VCM) Comparing with 471-1630, 471-1638 or 471-1639 has about 10 cc less in displacement, maybe this reduces the head pressure and maybe this is why we don't see burned Stator in 2008-2010 models?"

"text": "\"The 2014 Honda Odyssey, produced at the automaker's Alabama factory, is shown during the small overlap front crash test at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The driver's space was maintained reasonably well, the agency said. ( IIHS)LINCOLN, Alabama -- The 2014 Honda Odyssey, which is assembled at the Japanese automaker's Talladega County factory, has earned the top safety award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, becoming the first minivan to do so. The Odyssey, named a Top Safety Pick Plus, received a good rating in all five IIHS crash evaluations. That included the challenging small overlap front test, which replicates what happens when the front corner of a car collides with another vehicle or object like a tree or utility pole. IIHS ranks vehicles as good, acceptable, marginal or poor in crash tests including moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, rollover and rear. Institute President Adrian Lund said safety is a high priority for parents shopping for a family vehicle. \"\" Consumers look for models with the highest safety ratings,\"\" he said in a prepared statement. \"\" Honda is ahead of many of its competitors in building state-of-the-art crashworthiness into its vehicles. \"\" The Odyssey last went through a redesign in 2011, but the minivan was refreshed for 2014."

By blogsadmin | Posted in Honda Odyssey, New Vehicles on Monday, March 28th, 2016 at 4:40 pm The Honda Odyssey minivan is getting a full redesign later this year, and rumors are already swirling. One rumor has it that the 2017 Odyssey will offer all-wheel drive for the first time ever. Since most minivans don’t come with AWD, this could make the versatile Odyssey an even better option for Midwestern families. Is it really happening? Will the 2017 Honda Odyssey have AWD? Here’s what we know so far. What Are The Chances? The rumor of an all-wheel drive Odyssey seems to be based on an Edmunds interview with the executive VP of American Honda last summer. In the interview, he said that Honda was considering adding AWD to the Odyssey, but wasn’t sure whether the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks."

Colour Guard of the 1st Naval Fusiliers of the French Navy at the 2008 Bastille Day Military Parade, Paris. In military organizations, the Colour Guard (or Color Guard) refers to a detachment of soldiers assigned to the protection of regimental colours. This duty is so prestigious that the colour is generally carried by a young officer ( Ensign ), while experienced non-commissioned officers ( Colour sergeants) are assigned to the protection of the flag. These NCOs, accompanied sometimes by warrant officers (as is the case in several countries), can be ceremonially armed with either sabres or rifles to protect the colour.

"text": "\"Science World's Largest Atom Smasher May Have Detected 'God Particle'Published April 22, 2011Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Aug. 7, 2010: An amateur photographer takes a picture in the assembly room of the elements of the LHC (large hadron collider) during the Particle Physics Photowalk at the European Particle Physics laboratory (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. ( AP)A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, also known as the \"\"God particle. \"\" ADVERTISEMENTThe controversial rumor is based on what appears to be a leaked internal note from physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 17-mile-long particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland. It's not entirely clear at this point if the memo is authentic, or what the data it refers to might mean — but the note already has researchers talking. The buzz started when an anonymous commenter recently posted an abstract of the note on Columbia University mathematician Peter Woit's blog, Not Even Wrong. Some physicists say the note may be a hoax, while others believe the \"\"detection\"\" is likely a statistical anomaly that will disappear upon further study. But the find would be a huge particle-physics breakthrough, if it holds up. \"\" If it were to be real, it would be really exciting,\"\" said physicist Sheldon Stone of Syracuse University. Hunting for the Higgs The Higgs boson is predicted to exist by prevailing particle-physics theory, which is known as the Standard Model. Physicists think the Higgs bestows mass on all the other particles — but they have yet to confirm its existence."

In fact as this this passage from his essay “ Walking ” (1862) shows, his attitude toward politics was very different from his appreciation of the natural world:“Man and his affairs, church and state—and school, trade and commerce, and manufactures and agriculture—even politics, the most alarming of them all—I am pleased to see how little space they occupy in the landscape. Politics is but a narrow field, and that still narrower highway yonder leads to it. I sometimes direct the traveler thither. If you would go to the political world, follow the great road—follow that market man, keep his dust in your eyes, and it will lead you straight to it—for it too has its place merely, and does not occupy all space. I pass from it as from a bean field into the forest, and it is forgotten. In one half hour I can walk off to some portion of the earth’s surface where a man does not stand from one year’s end to another and there consequently politics are not, for they are but as the cigar smoke of a man. ”How would you characterize Thoreau’s attitude toward politics, toward nature? Why does he find politics to be the most “alarming” of all human affairs?"

"text": "Which Hotel Program is Most Rewarding for Free Nights? ( The Results Will Surprise You)by Gary Leff on February 26, 2013Amidst all the talk of hotel loyalty program devaluation and skyrocketing costs of free nights, I thought it would be useful to run some numbers to see how the programs actually compare in terms of rewards per dollar spent at their properties. So I ran some numbers for the base programs. I wanted to see what kind of return per dollar spent you get in the form of free nights from each of the chains. What hotel program offers a free night after the least amount of spending? What hotel program will let you redeem a free night in a big city after the smallest investment? What hotel program will let you access its most expensive, most aspirational hotels for the least amount of spending? I decided to have a look at the basic programs of each of the 5 largest hotel chains. And for this purpose I am going to ignore factors that are very important for some travelers — elite bonuses, elite check-in amenity points, and other promotions. So I’m looking at the most common base-level earning (ignoring that some hotel chains award fewer points for their limited-service brands, say 5 points instead of 10 points per dollar)."

O. M. D., Founding Member of the American Herbalist Guild For many, herbal medicine represents our interdependent connection with nature. This exerts both direct and indirect effects on us in many ways, not least of which is an affirmation of our relationship with plants. Unfortunately, this is becoming all too frequently overlooked in an effort to capitalize on what, according to New Hope communications, the latest total herb sales was at 4 1/2 billion dollars for 1997. A significant part of the increase of sales is based not merely on the sale of popular herbs such as St John’s Wort , Ginkgo, Echinacea, Garlic and Saw Palmetto, but specifically their use in the form of standardized extracts. Standardized extracts arose out of the need to create a uniform product for clinical trials."

It signifies whether we are a geek or slacker, or somewhere in between. The GPA is usually either a point of great pride or great shame. Those students who are proud of their GPA practically have it tattooed on their foreheads, while others skulk about in fear that someone might discover what ignoramuses they truly are. In college admission, it serves as a critical litmus tests: how good a student is this person, and will he or she succeed at this college. No matter how you cut it, the GPA is a source of anxiety and tension for just about everyone. But let’s be philosophical for a minute. One’s GPA is not a measure of one’s worth as a human being."

Each year Louisiana shrimpers catch 90 – 120 million pounds of both brown and white shrimp, and 69% of the domestic, US shrimp are harvested from the Gulf waters. We are proud of our seafood here in Louisiana, and that includes our shrimp too. Even if you don’t live in Louisiana, you probably eat Louisiana seafood. Louisiana seafood is known around the world for taste, quality and variety. When you enjoy seafood at home or in a restaurant, chances are excellent that it’s from Louisiana. Nearly 1/3 of the domestic seafood consumed in the contiguous United States comes fresh from our waters. Louisiana is the number one provider of shrimp, oysters, crab, crawfish and alligator production in the USA and we’re a close second in the harvest of fin fish. Situated at the top of the Gulf of Mexico, with a wealth of rivers and lakes throughout the state, Louisiana is indeed the “land of milk and honey” when it comes to seafood.

"text": "\"Guidelines for Sexual Purity By Randy Alcorn | January 28, 2010I’ve developed the following material and presented it to many young people and their parents over many years. When my now married daughters were teenagers, I honed it further for sharing and discussion with them and the young men who asked to date them. Until we had gone over these principles together (my wife and I, our daughter and the boy) and made sure there was complete agreement, we didn’t allow a dating relationship to begin. We found that this was a great help not only to our daughters but also to the young men who wanted to date them. We made our expectations clear, gave them specific guidance and principles (not just rules), and told them we’d be asking them if they were living up to these standards. This deepened our relationship, opened communication and created healthy accountability. Though there were sometimes nervous jitters as family members (and especially the young men) anticipated these sessions, in each case the time together was strategic, encouraging and rewarding. Having consistently practiced this when they were dating, it was impossible for us and for our daughters to imagine them dating a young man without first openly addressing with him all the principles that follow. ( Each time we did this, of course, it further reinforced these principles for our daughters and for us. )“ It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God.” ("

Many schools claim to be college preparatory, but do they do anything outside the ordinary to set kids on the road to college?by: Crystal Yednak | March 9, 2016Print article College preparatory indicates that a school prepares students for college. In theory, of course, every high school should prepare students for college, but that’s not always the case — even for schools that adopt the college preparatory label. With a national focus on readying students for college and careers, many schools — even elementary schools — are using the college preparatory title in their names and promotional materials, but what does it actually mean? College prep: elite boarding school or urban charter? Among the many schools that call themselves college preparatory, you’ll find elite boarding schools that have sent generations of graduates to the Ivy Leagues and other top universities. You’ll also find inner-city charter schools that pledge every graduate will be admitted to a four-year college or university. You’ll also, unfortunately, find schools that do nothing outside the ordinary to ensure that students go to college, but claim the college preparatory label because they know it’s what many parents are looking for. There are public , private, parochial, and charter schools that call themselves college preparatory. And while these schools can be selective — requiring testing and interviews for admission — they could also be open enrollment, accepting anyone who shows up."

"text": "What The Rob Porter Scandal Tells Us About The Trump White House The Rob Porter story, which is quickly becoming the Rob Porter scandal, tells us a lot about the Trump White House, and none of it is good. Doug Mataconis · Friday, February 9, 2018 · 49 comments Rob Porter was the now apparently departed Staff Secretary for President Trump. While this sounds like it might be a low-level position, it is in fact perhaps the second most important position on the White House Staff after the Chief of Staff. The person in this position is responsible for reviewing nearly every single piece of paper that gets sent to the President on a daily basis, including items that have some of the highest levels of classification in American government. This means, of course, that the person who holds that position must have a security clearance equal to that of other high-ranking officials such as the Chief of Staff, and that they must be someone who doesn’t have something in their past that could be used as potential blackmail material by a foreign government. This is where Rob Porter comes into the picture, and where the incompetence and utter venality of the Trump White House are revealed for all to see. It turns out, in case you haven’t heard, that Rob Porter is apparently a man with serious anger management issues. He has been credibly accused by both of his ex-wives of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse that, at least in the case of his first wife, caused injuries serious enough to give her a black eye. He has also been the subject of at least one, and possibly more, Protective Order issued by courts located in the states he was living at the time based on complaints of such abuse by his former wives, and possibly by a third woman with whom he had a long-term relationship after his second marriage but who has yet to come forward publicly. All of this came to the knowledge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation last year when its agents were involved in conducting the background investigation that is part of the standard application for a security clearance."

We invent every day,” observes Steve Brattesani, DDS, a practicing dentist for the past 22 years who holds somewhere in the range of 27 United States and international patents for his inventions. “ Even though the procedures might become tedious and monotonous and we do things over and over, every tooth is different.

Both are around the same shape and size as a rook ( Corvus frugilegus ), but the hooded crow is easily identified by its two-colour plumage; the body is a dirty grey, while the wings, tail, head and bib are black (2).

Hooded crows are intelligent birds; in Finland they have been seen reeling in fishing lines left in holes in the ice to obtain fish (8). Other aspects of their general biology are very similar to that of the carrion crow. Top Hooded crow range In Britain, this crow mainly occurs in north and western Scotland, it also occurs in Ireland and on the Isle of Man. Elsewhere it is widespread throughout central and northern Europe between the Arctic in the north to the Mediterranean in the south (7). Where the distributions of carrion and hooded crows meet, there is a zone of interbreeding where hybrids with intermediate plumage occur (6). In Britain, these hybrids arise in a band roughly between Aberdeen and Glasgow (6)."

Learning just how unique these birds are can help you better appreciate their place in the world’s avifauna and how important their ongoing conservation is. How many of these vulture bird facts do you know? Vulture Trivia There are 23 vulture species in the world, and at least one type of vulture is found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. These are relatively adaptable birds found in a range of habitats, including suburbs, but even with that adaptability, 14 species are considered either threatened or endangered. Vulture species are divided into New World (the Americas and Caribbean) and Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa) groups depending on their ranges. There are more vulture species in the Old World, and they are not closely related to New World vultures. The two groups are often considered together, however, because they fill a similar ecological niche. New World vultures may be more closely related to storks than to other raptors. Unlike many raptors, vultures are relatively social and often feed, fly or roost in large flocks."

Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, [2] a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird [3] and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory. Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests."

Both adults are similar and have black head, neck and upper breast, with blue and purple gloss. The black throat feathers are longer. These black parts contrast strongly with the white collar on upper mantle, extending to the underparts on breast, body sides and axillaries. The rest of the plumage, lower back to uppertail coverts on upperparts, and lower belly and vent on underparts is black, but less glossy than the head. Wings and tail are black with blue and purple gloss. The strong bill, legs and feet are black. Eyes are dark brown."

"text": "The Genus Corvus The genus Corvus contains your typical corvids, black stocky birds with strong feet and bills. Commonly they are known as Jackdaws, Rooks, Crows and Ravens in order of general size. There are 39 species in the genus Corvus, most of which are known as crows. All the genus are excellent flyers and perform aerial acrobatics seemingly for the joy of it. Jackdaws Jackdaws ( Corvus monedula) are the smallest and most social of the genus. Konrad Lorenz, a well-renowned behavioural ecologist, says of Jackdaws 'few birds - indeed few of the higher animals - possess so highly developed a social and family life. Jackdaws are socially monogamous, mating for life. They live in and breed in colonies. Within a colony there is a head bird and a second bird, etc. This is a social pecking order in which each bird knows all the other birds and its relationship to them."

Found across Europe, western Asia and North Africa, it is mostly resident, although northern and eastern populations migrate south in winter. Four subspecies are recognised, which mainly differ in the colouration of the plumage on the head and nape. Linnaeus first described it formally, giving it the name Corvus monedula. The common name derives from the word \"\"jack\"\", meaning \"\"small\"\", and \"\"daw\"\", the native English name for the bird. Measuring 34–39 centimetres (13–15 in) in length, the western jackdaw is a black-plumaged bird with a grey nape and distinctive pale-grey irises.

American Crows are the most widespread cooperatively breeding species in North America. A family unit usually includes a mom and dad and several “kids” hatched in previous years, and can include up to 15 birds! They include goofy, immature one-year-olds and some adult sons and daughters. Sometimes these kids stay with their parents for more than five years. In addition to the nuclear family, crow groups sometimes include extended family members such as nephews, brothers, and half-brothers of the mom and dad.

Living organisms need to hear, think, see, and adapt with precision in order to evolve, flourish, and survive on this planet. The animal kingdom is built around primates, mammals, rodents, cetaceans, marsupials, birds, reptiles, and mollusks, to name a few. As humans, we pride ourselves on being the dominate thinkers and smartest species. This has lifted us to the top of the food chain, but many animal populations have also been successful in breeding, expanding, and adapting to world and climate conditions. It is amazing to see that some animals actually have a certain sense of natural phenomenon that is unknown to humans. The best example of this is the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Many species of animals were seen heading for the hills before any tsunami danger was evident to humans. Animal populations are much smarter then many humans give them credit for. They have languages, mannerisms, rules, and goals for survival."

Credit: Christen Bossu (left); John Haslam via Wikimedia Commons (right)From Quanta Magazine ( find original story here ). Most people don’t get to use the tree-climbing skills they perfected as children once they’re adults. But for Jochen Wolf, an evolutionary biologist at Uppsala University in Sweden, climbing trees is an essential part of his job. He regularly shimmies 60 feet up into the treetops, where he gingerly plucks fledgling crows from their nests and lowers them to his team below. Wolf’s climbing exploits have focused on two species of birds — carrion crows, which predominate in western Germany, and the closely related hooded crows that prevail further to the east, in Sweden and Poland. The two groups can mate with each other, but they look very different — carrion crows are black, and hooded crows have black-and-gray bodies — and the birds strongly prefer mates of their own kind. For a long as anyone can remember, the two groups have remained distinct, save for a narrow band of habitat stretching from Denmark through eastern Germany to northern Italy where they sometimes intermingle. The crows present a puzzling question to biologists, which gets to the heart of what it means to be a species: Given that hooded and carrion crows can mate and swap genes, how do the two groups maintain their individual identities? It’s as if you mixed red and yellow paint in a bucket but the two colors stubbornly refused to make orange."

These include coniferous and deciduous forests, beaches, islands, chaparral, sagebrush, mountains, desert, grasslands, agricultural fields, tundra, and ice floes. They do well around human habitations including farms, rural settlements and isolated houses. In larger towns they are often replaced by American Crows, although they do occur in some cities including Los Angeles. Human presence has allowed ravens to expand into areas where they didn’t previously occur, such as using artificial ponds and irrigation to survive in deserts and living on human garbage in some forests. Common Ravens are slowly moving back into the forests of the northeastern United States and Canada as those forests regenerate. Back to top Food Common Ravens will eat almost anything they can get hold of. They eat carrion; small animals from the size of mice and baby tortoises up to adult Rock Pigeons and nestling Great Blue Herons; eggs; grasshoppers, beetles, scorpions, and other arthropods; fish; wolf and sled-dog dung; grains, buds, and berries; pet food; and many types of human food including unattended picnic items and garbage.

Credit: Jos A Carlos Pires Pereira/E+/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated March 06, 2017What Are Steroid Hormones? Hormones are molecules produced and secreted by endocrine glands in the body. These hormones are released into the blood and travel to other parts of the body where they bring about specific responses from specific cells. Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are lipid -soluble molecules. Examples of steroid hormones include the sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, and progesterone) produced by male and female gonads and hormones of the adrenal glands (aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens). How Steroid Hormones Work Steroid hormones cause changes within a cell by first passing through the cell membrane of the target cell. Steroid hormones, unlike non-steroid hormones, can do this because they are fat-soluble. Cell membranes are composed of a phospholipid bilayer which prevents fat-insoluble molecules from diffusing into the cell. Once inside the cell the steroid hormone binds with a specific receptor found only in the cytoplasm of the target cell."

Pregnenolone is a precursor hormone synthesized from cholesterol, principally in the adrenal glands, but also in the liver, skin, brain, testicles, ovaries, and retina of the eyes. Steroids are a large family of structurally similar biochemicals that have sex-determining, anti-inflammatory, and growth-regulatory roles. Indeed, pregnenolone is the grand precursor from which almost all of the other steroid hormones are made; including DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, the estrogens, and cortisol. Despite its powerful metabolites, pregnenolone is acknowledged to be without significant side effects, with minimal or no anabolic, estrogenic, or androgenic activity. Pregnenolone has been found to be 100 times more effective for memory enhancement than other steroids or steroid-precursors in laboratory mice. Pregnenolone appears to be the most potent memory enhancer yet reported in animals. Pregnenolone has been reported to not only make people smarter but happier and enhance one's ability to perform on the job while heightening feelings of well-being. Pregnenolone has also been reported to reduce high stress induced fatigue. As is the case with the steroid-hormone precursor DHEA, pregnenolone levels decline with age."

"text": "hormones Despite the advent of e-mail the majority of people still communicate by letter or telephone. Similarly there are two ways in which messages are sent round the body. The first is via the nervous system, which like the phone system is ‘hard wired’ and usually operates on a point to point basis. The second way is by means of hormones — chemical messengers — circulating in the blood, which effectively acts as a postal system. Just as, when someone sends out a circular in the mail, those who are interested act on the information and those who are not discard the letter, so when an endocrine gland secretes a hormone the appropriate cells respond while the rest are unaffected. Classically, hormones are defined as chemical substances secreted directly into the bloodstream that act on a distant target organ or type of cell. Historical background Diseases resulting from lack of a hormone (such as diabetes mellitus ), or excess production (such as thyrotoxicosis ), have been known for centuries, although the cause was not recognized. A nineteenth-century anatomist called Henle, after whom a section of the renal tubules was named, was the first person to describe glands without ducts that secreted their products directly into the bloodstream. Then in 1855 the Frenchman, Claude Bernard, who laid the foundations of physiology, distinguished the products of these so-called ductless glands from those glandular secretions, such as saliva and sweat, which are effectively outside the body, by calling them ‘internal secretions’: hence the name ‘endocrine’ ( endon: Greek for within) as opposed to ‘exocrine’ secretion ( ex: Greek for outside). The first person who tried to use extracts of endocrine glands for therapeutic purposes was Brown–Sequard, a French physician, neurologist, and endocrinologist, who in 1889 employed testicular extracts from animals to treat male ageing."

These hormones act by binding to specific intracellular receptor proteins that function as signal transducers and transcription factors to modulate expression of target genes. 1, 2 Molecular cloning of the steroid hormone receptor genes in humans has been accomplished over the past 15 years ( Table 1 ). Sequence comparison has revealed that steroid hormone receptors belong to a diverse family of ligand-activated gene regulators that share a highly conserved structure and common mechanisms affecting gene transcription. 3 The evolutionary relationship among the steroid and nuclear receptors has been deduced by the high conservation in their DNA-binding domains (DBDs) and in their less-conserved ligand-binding domains (LBDs) and indicates that this large group of proteins arose from a common ancestral molecule. 3TABLE 1.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Hormone receptors)navigation search A hormone receptor is a receptor molecule that binds to a specific hormone. Hormone receptors are a wide family of proteins made up of receptors for thyroid and steroid hormones, retinoids and Vitamin D, and a variety of other receptors for various ligands, such as fatty acids and prostaglandins. [ 1] There are two main classes of hormone receptors. Receptors for peptide hormones tend to be cell surface receptors built into the plasma membrane of cells and are thus referred to as trans membrane receptors. An example of this is insulin. [ 2] Receptors for steroid hormones are usually found within the cytoplasm and are referred to as intracellular or nuclear receptors, such as testosterone. [ 3] Upon hormone binding, the receptor can initiate multiple signaling pathways which ultimately lead to changes in the behavior of the target cells. Hormonal therapy and hormone receptors play a very large part in breast cancer treatment (therapy is not limited to only breast cancer). By influencing the hormones, the cells' growth can be changed along with its function. These hormones can cause cancer to not survive in the human body. ["

Hormones act as \"\"messengers,\"\" and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. It seems like a far fetched idea that a small chemical can enter the bloodstream and cause an action at a distant location in the body. Yet this occurs in our bodies every day of our lives. The ability to maintain homeostasis and respond to stimuli is largely due to hormones secreted within the body. Without hormones, you could not grow, maintain a constant temperature, produce offspring, or perform the basic actions and functions that are essential for life. The endocrine system provides an electrochemical connection from the hypothalamus of the brain to all the organs that control the body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction. There are two types of hormones secreted in the endocrine system: Steroidal (or lipid based) and non-steroidal, (or protein based) hormones. The endocrine system regulates its hormones through negative feedback, except in very specific cases like childbirth. Increases in hormone activity decrease the production of that hormone."

For example hormones determine whether individuals become male or female. Many hormones are steroids. Steroids are a class of lipids. All steroids share a carbon skeleton composed of four fused rings. Hormones are compounds used for long distance signaling in both plants and animals. In animals, specialized cells produce hormones and release them into the circulatory system. Hormones travel to target cells in other parts of the body and cause a variety of changes in the target areas.

Once the hormone binds to the receptor, a chain of events is initiated that leads to the target cell’s response. Hormones play a critical role in the regulation of physiological processes because of the target cell responses they regulate. These responses contribute to human reproduction, growth and development of body tissues, metabolism, fluid, and electrolyte balance, sleep, and many other body functions. The major hormones of the human body and their effects are identified in Table 2.

Humans have about 50 different known hormones, which vary in their structure, action and response. They control a variety of biological processes including muscle growth, heart rate, menstrual cycles and hunger. Hormones travel throughout the body, either in the blood stream or in the fluid around cells, looking for target cells. Once hormones find a target cell, they bind with specific protein receptors inside or on the surface of the cell and specifically change the cell's activities. The protein receptor reads the hormone's message and carries out the instructions by either influencing gene expression or altering cellular protein activity. These actions produce a variety of rapid responses and long-term effects. Hormones vary in their range of targets. Some types of hormones can bind with compatible receptors found in many different cells all over the body. Other hormones are more specific, targeting only one or a few tissues."

Moreover, with the exception of vitamin D, they all contain the same cyclopentanophenanthrene ring and atomic numbering system as cholesterol. The conversion of C 27 cholesterol to the 18-, 19-, and 21-carbon steroid hormones (designated by the nomenclature C with a subscript number indicating the number of carbon atoms, e.g. C 19 for androstanes) involves the rate-limiting, irreversible cleavage of a 6-carbon residue from cholesterol, producing pregnenolone (C 21) plus isocaproaldehyde. Common names of the steroid hormones are widely recognized, but systematic nomenclature is gaining acceptance and familiarity with both nomenclatures is increasingly important. Steroids with 21 carbon atoms are known systematically as pregnanes, whereas those containing 19 and 18 carbon atoms are known as androstanes and estranes, respectively. The important mammalian steroid hormones are shown below along with the structure of the precursor, pregnenolone. Retinoic acid and vitamin D are not derived from pregnenolone, but from vitamin A and cholesterol respectively. Pregnenolone: produced directly from cholesterol, the precursor molecule for all C 18, C 19 and C 21 steroids Progesterone: a progestestin, produced directly from pregnenolone and secreted from the corpus luteum, responsible for changes associated with luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, differentiation factor for mammary glands Aldosterone: the principal mineralocorticoid, produced from progesterone in the zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex, raises blood pressure and fluid volume, increases Na + uptake Testosterone: an androgen, male sex hormone synthesized in the testes, responsible for secondary male sex characteristics, produced from progesterone Estradiol: an estrogen, principal female sex hormone, produced in the ovary, responsible for secondary female sex characteristics Cortisol: dominant glucocorticoid in humans, synthesized from progesterone in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex, involved in stress adaptation, elevates blood pressure and Na + uptake, numerous effects on the immune system All the steroid hormones exert their action by passing through the plasma membrane and binding to intracellular receptors. The mechanism of action of the thyroid hormones is similar; they interact with intracellular receptors (also referred to as nuclear receptors, NR). Both the steroid and thyroid hormone-receptor complexes exert their action by binding to specific nucleotide sequences in the DNA of responsive genes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Hormone (disambiguation). Different types of hormones are secreted in the body, with different biological roles and functions. A hormone (from the Greek participle “ ὁρμῶ ”, \"\"to set in motion, urge on\"\") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour. Hormones have diverse chemical structures, mainly of 3 classes: eicosanoids, steroids, and amino acid / protein derivatives ( amines, peptides, and proteins ). The glands that secrete hormones comprise the endocrine signaling system. The term hormone is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell ( autocrine or intracrine signalling) or nearby cells ( paracrine signalling ). Hormones are used to communicate between organs and tissues for physiological regulation and behavioral activities, such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress, growth and development, movement, reproduction, and mood. [ 1] [2] Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function. When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway that typically activates gene transcription resulting in increased expression of target proteins; non-genomic effects are more rapid, and can be synergistic with genomic effects. [ 3] Amino acid–based hormones ( amines and peptide or protein hormones) are water-soluble and act on the surface of target cells via second messengers; steroid hormones, being lipid-soluble, move through the plasma membranes of target cells (both cytoplasmic and nuclear) to act within their nuclei."

Help us grow by sharing travel information about destinations that interest you Steroid hormone receptor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Steroid receptor)navigation search Steroid hormone receptors are found in the nucleus, cytosol, and also on the plasma membrane of target cells. They are generally intracellular receptors (typically cytoplasmic or nuclear) and initiate signal transduction for steroid hormones which lead to changes in gene expression over a time period of hours to days. The best studied steroid hormone receptors are members of the nuclear receptor subfamily 3 (NR3) that include receptors for estrogen (group NR3A) [1] and 3-ketosteroids (group NR3C). [ 2] In addition to nuclear receptors, several G protein-coupled receptors and ion channels act as cell surface receptors for certain steroid hormones.

Depending upon the type of receptor, they are either located in the cytosol and move to the cell nucleus upon activation, or remain in the nucleus waiting for the steroid hormone to enter and activate them. This uptake into the nucleus is facilitated by nuclear localization signal (NLS) found in the hinge region of the receptor. This region of the receptor is covered up by heat shock proteins (HSPs) which bind the receptor until the hormone is present. Upon binding by the hormone the receptor undergoes a conformational change releasing the HSP, and the receptor together with the bound hormone enter the nucleus to act upon transcription."

The Endocrine System107 17.2 Hormones Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the three major classes of hormones on the basis of chemical structure Compare and contrast intracellular and cell membrane hormone receptors Describe signaling pathways that involve c AMP and IP3Identify several factors that influence a target cell’s response Discuss the role of feedback loops and humoral, hormonal, and neural stimuli in hormone control Although a given hormone may travel throughout the body in the bloodstream, it will affect the activity only of its target cells; that is, cells with receptors for that particular hormone. Once the hormone binds to the receptor, a chain of events is initiated that leads to the target cell’s response. Hormones play a critical role in the regulation of physiological processes because of the target cell responses they regulate. These responses contribute to human reproduction, growth and development of body tissues, metabolism, fluid, and electrolyte balance, sleep, and many other body functions. The major hormones of the human body and their effects are identified in Table 2.

Hormones act as chemical messengers to body organs, stimulating certain life processes and retarding others. Growth,reproduction, control of metabolic processes, sexual attributes, and even mental conditions andpersonality traits are dependent on hormones. Hormones are produced by various organs and body tissues, but mainly by the endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and gonads (testes and ovaries). Each gland apparently synthesizes severalkinds of hormones; the adrenal glands alone produce more than 25 varieties. The total number of hormones is still unknown, but each has its unique function and its own chemical formula. After a hormone is discharged by its parent gland into the capillaries or the lymph, it may travel a circuitouspath through the bloodstream to exert influence on cells, tissues, and organs (target organs) farremoved from its site of origin. One of the best-known endocrine hormones is insulin, a protein manufactured by the beta cells of theislands of Langerhans in the pancreas that is important in carbohydrate metabolism."

In their physiological concentrations, thyroid hormones stimulate the synthesis as well as the degradation of proteins, whereas in supraphysiological doses protein catabolism predominates. In hyperthyroidism skeletal muscle protein stores suffer depletion which is reflected by an increased urinary N- and methylhistidine -excretion. Due to the enhanced skeletal muscle amino acid release, the plasma concentration of glucoplastic amino acids are often enhanced, contributing by means of an elevated substrate supply to the increased hepatic gluconeogenesis."

This means any form of hormonal imbalance will sabotage your efforts – regardless of your diet and exercise habits. From This Episode: Melt Fat Fast: How to Reset Your Secret Fat-Loss Hormones Extra belly fat can indicate one or more of the following hormonal imbalances: high estrogen, low testosterone, low DHEA (a hormone of the adrenal glands), high insulin and high cortisol. Abdominal fat also sets a risky stage for aging, increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Hormones act as \"\"messengers,\"\" and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. It seems like a far fetched idea that a small chemical can enter the bloodstream and cause an action at a distant location in the body. Yet this occurs in our bodies every day of our lives. The ability to maintain homeostasis and respond to stimuli is largely due to hormones secreted within the body. Without hormones, you could not grow, maintain a constant temperature, produce offspring, or perform the basic actions and functions that are essential for life. The endocrine system provides an electrochemical connection from the hypothalamus of the brain to all the organs that control the body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction. There are two types of hormones secreted in the endocrine system: Steroidal (or lipid based) and non-steroidal, (or protein based) hormones. The endocrine system regulates its hormones through negative feedback, except in very specific cases like childbirth. Increases in hormone activity decrease the production of that hormone."

These hormones contain chains of amino acids of different lengths and are soluble in water.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Mwirth 1 Contribution Why do steroid hormones need a transport protein to circulate with blood? Answer . Steroid hormones are \"\"lipophilic\"\" (they are fatty molecules which do not dissolve in water.)"

"text": "Endocrine System : Target Cells Hormones and Target Cells Finding a Partner Hormones and Target Cells Hormones are powerful messenger molecules that control essential body functions by carrying messages from endocrine glands to target cells and tissues. Some hormonal actions cause short-term changes, such as a faster heartbeat or sweaty palms. Others dictate long-term development, such as bone and muscle growth. Still other hormones control continual body functions, such as maintaining body fluids, heart rate and metabolism. Hormones have many unique features and interact with target cells in specific ways. Natural hormones are potent. That is, very small amounts cause a response. The same hormone can be made by different glands. For instance, both the ovaries and the adrenal gland release estrogens. A hormone can have different effects depending on the target cell's location, the gender of the individual and the species."

The endocrine system is composed of a number of tissues that secrete their products, endocrine hormones, into the circulatory system; from there they are disseminated throughout the body, regulating the function of distant tissues and maintaining homeostasis. In a separate but related system, exocrine tissues secrete their products into ducts and then to the outside of the body or to the intestinal tract. Classically, endocrine hormones are considered to be derived from amino acids, peptides, or sterols and to act at sites distant from their tissue of origin. However, the latter definition has begun to blur as it is found that some secreted substances act at a distance (classical endocrines), close to the cells that secrete them ( paracrines ), or directly on the cell that secreted them ( autocrines ). Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), which behaves as an endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine, provides a prime example of this difficulty. Hormones are normally present in the plasma and interstitial tissue at concentrations in the range of 10 -7 M to 10 -10 M. Because of these very low physiological concentrations, sensitive protein receptors have evolved in target tissues to sense the presence of very weak signals. In addition, systemic feedback mechanisms have evolved to regulate the production of endocrine hormones. Once a hormone is secreted by an endocrine tissue, it generally binds to a specific plasma protein carrier, with the complex being disseminated to distant tissues. Plasma carrier proteins exist for all classes of endocrine hormones."

"text": "INTRODUCTIONToday's obstetrician gynecologist is required to interpret and in many cases perform ultrasound scans in the first trimester. In fact, certification of residency programs in many countries requires documentation of adequate exposure to and training in the evaluation of first-trimester ultrasound. Failure to understand the limitations of diagnostic ultrasound or inadequate training of physicians in this technique can result in grave complications for the patient and liability for health-care providers. The benefits of routine transvaginal ultrasound at 6–7 weeks from the LMP include: Correct dating of gestational age since 10–15% of women will have inaccurate assignment of gestational age of more than 1 week based on menstrual history. Identification of missed abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and C-section scar pregnancies. Early identification of multiple gestation and correct determination of chorionicity. The standard of care for performing routine ultrasound examination at 6–7 weeks varies from country to country. The disadvantages of performing this examination routinely are related to cost, errors in diagnosing ectopic pregnancies that in fact are intrauterine, increased training requirements for providers, and potential biologic hazards to the fetus that are presently unknown. The potential benefits of a subsequent ultrasound examination at 12–14 weeks from the LMP include: Early diagnosis of certain severe and lethal anomalies. Early diagnosis of major trisomies as part of nuchal screening."

The purpose of an antler is different for each mammal that has them.  Some mammals have them for auditory purposes, others for foraging, and some for defensive purposes.  Horns are similarly used for defense and to help animals forage for food.  Both antlers and horns are used to fight in the mating process."

"text": "The coniferous forests of the Northern Continent represent the greatest expanse of uninterrupted forest in the world. Coniferous trees do well at high latitudes because they are evergreen, and photosynthesis can take place immediately conditions are right for growth without having first to produce leaves, as is the case with deciduous trees. In this way the conifers compensate for the short growing season, which is about 50 to 80 days depending on the latitude. Fruiting and reproduction are also in tune with the climate. Conifers, unlike deciduous trees, do not produce fruiting bodies that are pollinated and ripen within a single year. The fertilization of a female cone may take more than a year to complete, and as many as three more years may elapse before the cone matures and the seeds are ripe for dispersal. The lack of leaf litter and the prevailing cold conditions which inhibit the natural decay of the forest's pine needle carpet - material that is slow to decompose in any case - results in only a thin underlying layer of topsoil and little or no undergrowth. The indigenous mammals are largely herbivorous and exist mainly on diets comprising mosses, pine needles, bark and seed cones. Insectivorous birds are rare compared with those that feed on cone-seeds and buds. Throughout the region forest fires are not uncommon, usually occurring in spring, when the trees are low in sap."

It was introduced to North America in the 1990’s through untreated wooden shipping pallets. Adults lay their eggs in hardwood trees, and larvae then tunnel through the living tissue of the tree stopping the flow of water and nutrients, killing it. There have been very few sightings of ALHB in Ontario and it is important to be on the lookout for this dangerous invader. Several native non-harmful beetles can be easily confused with ALHB, so take a close look at how to identify this beetle listed below. Range Asian long-horned beetle is native to China and Korea where it is considered a major pest causing mortality of Elm, Maple, Poplar and Willow trees. Since arriving in the US, populations have been confirmed in New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Ohio. In Canada, ALHB was confirmed in an industrial park in the Toronto area in September 2003. By November 2003 susceptible host trees were being removed from the area to eliminate possible ALHB habitat. ALHB was not found anywhere in Ontario between 2007 and 2012, indicating that early detection and rapid response was effective."

Red body banded with white on abdomen, also white collar. Rich brown wings with reddish bases, white crescent-shaped eyespots on all wings lined with red and black, white band spans each wing beyond eyespot. Larvae: Robust, up to 100 mm. Green with two pairs of red spiny tubercles on thorax, two rows of blue spiny tubercles on sides, and two rows of yellow spiny tubercles down back. Range: southern and central Ontario Habitat: successional areas, including suburban and urban environments Larval foodplants: many trees and shrubs, including birch, lilac, cherry, apple, willow, ashes and elms among others Flight season: late May to July Overwintering stage: cocoon spun on branches True fact: The silken cocoon of our giant silkmoths (cecropia, luna, polyphemus and others) can be used to make clothing, but are much more difficult to unravel than the cocoons of the Chinese silkworm moth, which produces virtually all commercial silk."

"text": "\"THE GREAT HORNED OWLBubo virginianus The Great Horned Owl, is native to the whole of North, Central and South America. According to Wikipedia, these are adaptable birds with a vast range and are the most widely distributed true Owls in the Americas. In this area, these birds nest in trees, both deciduous and coniferous, often in mixed forests and sometimes in urban areas. A mated pair of Great Horned Owls remain in their own territory, but younger and individuals without mates, often move around within their territory as they search for companions - they may leave their areas in winter in search of food. In these birds, the male is not as large as the female and they are often between 18 and 27 inches long, with a wingspan which can reach close to 5 feet. They may weigh up to 3 lbs, however, in the northern part of their range, in the Arctic, for example, larger individuals may be found. These birds are identified easily by their large ear tufts which give them their name, although these are not actually ears at all, but feathers. They often have a brown or gray face and white patch on their throat, their eyes have a yellow iris and their feet and legs have feathers up to the talons. These birds breed early in the year, usually in January or February in Ontario, having found a mate in December and often can be heard calling to each other in a duet!Their favoured nests are those left by birds such as Red Tailed Hawks Crows, or even Squirrels, but they do build their own nests in trees, cliffs and empty buildings. Laying 2 - 4 eggs each season, a pair will incubate these eggs for about 4 - 5 weeks and at 6 weeks old the little owlets can sometimes be seen out of the nest and sitting on nearby branches."

Mc Cabe Hippotherapy is a treatment that uses the multidimensional movement of the horse as an avenue to complete a physical, occupational, or speech therapy session. The horse's movement has rhythm, symmetry, bilateralism, a dynamic base of support and multiple planes of movement. The movement responses in the rider are similar to human movement patterns of the pelvis while walking. The American Hippotherapy Association suggests that Hippotherapy can improve balance, posture, mobility and function. It may also affect psychological, cognitive, behavioral and communication functions for clients of all ages. Hippotherapy, as part of an overall treatment strategy, can be appropriate for a wide range of ages and diagnoses. Individuals as young as two years of age through adulthood may benefit. Diagnoses often seen are Down's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Developmental Delays, Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Spina Bifida and more. In Hippotherapy there is little or no emphasis on learning the skill of riding."

It is caused by a bacterium called streptococcus equi. The name, strangles, was coined due to the strangling breathing sounds made by affected horses, caused by the enlarged lymph nodes of the jawbone. The first signs of strangles are a high fever, poor appetite, and depression. Owners will also notice a thin, watery discharge from the horse’s nostrils. This discharge quickly turns thick and yellow. The horse’s upper respiratory lymph nodes become enlarged, most noticeably the ones between the jawbones. These can even abscess. Strangles is not usually fatal to horses, but it can be. Strangles can affect horses of any age, but most commonly infects those between one and five years of age."

These are exciting findings for horses in all disciplines and we hope this will open the door to further research as we know there is more to come. The study can be read here: A dissertation submitted to the University of Central Lancashire Faculty of Science and Technology In partial fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours In Equine Science and Management (Physiology)Abstract A wider range of influencing factors both internal and external can affect the performance of the horse. Through training these factors maybe modified to decrease the risk of a lowered performance rate. The research conducted in this investigation allows a racehorse trainer to incorporate a variety of methods in a training regime. Incorporating the use of working in the Equi Ami ® may allow a racehorse trainer an advantage over others, due to an increase in stride length and speed, therefore this should increase performance. A lunging aid (the Equi Ami ®) was used as part of a varied weekly routine; the S. L was measured using anatomical 2-d markers and a series of cameras. All measurements were repeated three times. Asymmetry of the horses stride was calculated by subtracting the mean stride length on the left rein from the mean stride length on the right rein. Speed was recorded by a stopwatch at the start and end of the five-furlong gallop to determine if speed increased due to the increase in stride length."

But the stifle is a complicated joint. Knowing the particular part of the stifle that's affected and the precise cause of the disorder is critical for implementing the correct therapy and maximizing recovery. The stifle is a complex hinge joint in the upper hind limb of the horse, and the largest joint in the horse's body. Its role is to provide unfettered flexion and extension of the hind limb, which allows the horse to move forward with smooth impulsion. The stifle also participates in the passive stay apparatus, which locks the joint to allow the horse to maintain a weight-bearing, straight hind limb for long periods of time while relaxing the other hind limb. Although comparable to the knee joint in humans, the equine stifle is angled when the horse stands still, whereas the human knee is upright. The stifle consists of several different articulations between the patella (knee cap), the femur (the long upper bone of the hind leg), and the tibia (the inner of the two bones that extends down from the knee to the hock).

Within the breed, the disease is prevalent in particular lines of cutting horses. HERDA is characterized by hyperextensible skin, scarring, and severe lesions along the back of affected horses. Affected foals rarely show symptoms at birth. The condition typically occurs by the age of two, most notably when the horse is first being broke to saddle. There is no cure, and the majority of diagnosed horses are euthanized because they are unable to be ridden and are inappropriate for future breeding. HERDA has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and affects stallions and mares in equal proportions. Research carried out in Dr. Danika Bannasch's laboratory at the University of California, Davis, has identified the gene and mutation associated with HERDA. The diagnostic DNA test for HERDA that has been developed allows identification of horses that are affected or that carry the specific mutation. Other skin conditions can mimic the symptoms of HERDA."

Keeping a horse is a luxury for many people. But how much does the 'average' horse cost? What's the difference between a free horse, a $500 horse, a $5000 horse and one that can cost well over the ten or twenty thousand dollar mark? There are a number of factors that affect the cost of horses, and these don't really affect the $10,000+ horses. Those horses are being bought and sold by top name stud farms for use in high-level competition. They are often imported from Europe or elsewhere, with impressive bloodlines and have antecedents with international competition success. They're not likely to be purchased by the average first-time horse owner, and the prices aren't as impacted by market forces as the backyard riding horse prices are. Most of us will be buying horses well below the $10,000 mark."

"text": "Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED)Description: Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED) is a fatal condition caused by the bodies' inability to properly store sugar. In a normal horse, the body stores sugar as energy by converting glucose to glycogen. This inherited disorder prevents the body from producing the enzyme needed to branch the glycogen structure, preventing the horse from being able to adequately store the sugars. This means that the horse will not be able to store enough energy to fuel important organs, such as the muscles and brain. Foals born which are affected by GBED suffer from a range of symptoms associated with this lack of fuel, such as low energy, weakness and difficulty rising. Other symptoms include low body temperature, contracted muscles, seizures, and sudden death. Unfortunately, GBED is always fatal; most affected foals will die before the age of 8 weeks. GBED often causes the foetus to be aborted in utero. Research suggests that as many as 3% of aborted Quarter Horse foals were homozygous for the GBED mutation. Studies show that the mutation responsible for GBED is carried by as many as 10% of Quarter Horse, Paint Horse breeds and related breeds."

"text": "Hippotherapy is a form of physical, occupational and speech therapy that uses equine (horse) movement to develop and enhance neurological and physical functioning by channeling the movement of the horse. Hippotherapy is built on the concept that the individual’s neuromuscular development is enhanced when their body makes adjustments to the gait, tempo, rhythm, repetition and cadence of a horse’s movement. What is hippotherapy? In today’s world, children with Cerebral Palsy often benefit from several traditional treatments and therapies designed to greatly enhance his or her abilities, and by extension, his or her quality of life. Some therapies – such as physical therapy – are commonly deployed for those with mobility and function impairment. But others, like equine therapy – also known as hippotherapy – take an unconventional path in the effort to increase a child’s physical strength and cognitive capabilities. Based on the concept that humans with physical challenges can benefit from both learned and spontaneous reactions while riding a horse, hippotherapy was conceived in the 1960s and used primarily in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as a companion to more established treatments. Hippotherapy was recognized in the United States in the 1980s as a therapy that not only helps patients with neuromuscular dysfunction increase physical strength and cognitive ability, but also offers the individual a chance to take advantage of an enjoyable activity that contributes to a positive therapeutic experience. Hippotherapy is a form of physical, occupational and speech therapy that uses equine movement to develop and enhance neurological and physical functioning by channeling the movement of the horse. Hippotherapy is not to be confused with therapeutic horseback riding, in which individuals are taught specific riding skills."

Belknap, DVM, Ph D, DACVS, Professor of Equine Surgery, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Ohio State University Bruising on the solar surface of the foot usually is caused by direct injury from stones, irregular ground, or a poorly fitting shoe. Horses with flat feet or either thin or dropped soles are predisposed to bruising, usually at the toe or around the periphery of the sole. Bruising in the caudal sole at the buttress (the angle between the wall and the bar) is termed a corn. Bruising commonly occurs with no abnormalities present on the keratinized sole, although solar changes may be present ranging from some red staining of the inner solar epidermis (due to minor hemorrhage) to the palpable presence of serum either under the solar epidermis or seeping through it. If untreated, the affected area can become infected (ie, a subsolar abscess). Persistent, nonresponsive bruised sole dorsal to the apex of the frog suggests possible distal displacement of the distal phalanx secondary to laminitis. Sole abscess, radiograph, horse Courtesy of Dr. Ronald Green. A “corn” is most common in the forefeet on the inner buttress and can be caused by 1) the heel of a shoe improperly placed (heel of branch bent excessively toward frog); 2) a shoe left on too long, causing pressure on the buttress; or 3) shoes fitted too closely at the quarters or too small for the foot. Corns are described as dry (only mild bruising), moist (serous exudate present), or suppurative (infected or abscessed). Bruising may be associated with lameness, depending on the severity."

Dermatophilus congolensis, a causative agent of mud fever Mud fever, also known as scratches or pastern dermatitis, is a group of diseases of horses causing irritation and dermatitis in the lower limbs of horses. Often caused by a mixture of bacteria, typically Dermatophilus congolensis, and Staphylococcus spp, mud fever can also be caused by fungal organisms ( dermatophytes ). Photosensitization, chorioptic mange mites, contact dermatitis and other conditions also contribute to some cases. This condition is also known as dew poisoning, grease heel, or greasy heel. Mud fever affects most horses and ponies during winter and early spring, resulting in painful sores and scabs, which in severe cases can make a horse lame. Mud fever most commonly affects the pastern and heel area but can also affect the upper leg, the belly, and in some cases the neck area (also known as Rain Scald ). Non-pigmented skin tends to be more severely affected.

"text": "\"Introduction to Hippotherapy By Barbara Heine, PTReprinted from NARHA Strides magazine, April 1997 (Vol. 3, No. 2)By its very nature, therapeutic riding influences the whole person and the effect on all the body's systems can be profound. It was, therefore, a natural progression for therapeutic riding in North America to branch into the medical application of the horse -- hippotherapy. Unfortunately, the use of this overall term has led to many misconceptions among therapeutic riding professionals. Any riding program using horse related activities for clients with physical, mental, cognitive, social or behavioral problems is a therapeutic riding program. But when does therapeutic riding become hippotherapy or classic hippotherapy, and what exactly is developmental riding therapy? The following common questions illustrate the confusion many people have about these areas: * A physical therapist (PT) volunteers in a consulting capacity once a month. Does this mean your program offers hippotherapy? * An occupational therapist (OT) with a solid horse background consults for your program once a week and works one-on-one with selected clients to address specific areas of motor planning and sensory integration."

Equine influenza occurs globally, previously caused by two main strains of virus: equine-1 ( H7N7) and equine-2 ( H3N8 ). [ 1] The OIE now considers H7N7 strains likely to be extinct since these strains have not been isolated for over 20 years. [ 2] Predominant international circulating H3N8 strains are Florida sublineage of the American lineage; clade 1 predominates in the Americas and clade 2 in Europe. ( Elton and Cullinane, 2013; Paillot, 2014; Slater et al., 2013). The disease has a nearly 100% infection rate in an unvaccinated horse population with no prior exposure to the virus. [ 3]While equine influenza is historically not known to affect humans, impacts of past outbreaks have been devastating due to the economic reliance on horses for communication (postal service), military (cavalry), and general transportation. In modern times, though, the ramifications of equine influenza are most clear in the horse-racing industry.

"text": "\"Health News Ryegrass staggers: the danger to horses November 10, 2012 Neil Clarkson 1 Comment Spread the word319 25About 25 years ago, New Zealand researchers discovered that tiny fungi called endophytes were the cause of ryegrass staggers. They discovered that mycotoxins produced by the endophytes living within ryegrass cells could affect livestock, causing them to tremble and lose co-ordination. The toxins, it was learned, affected part of the brain’s cerebellum involved in muscle co-ordination. The 1982 breakthrough paved the way for development of strategies to minimise the nerve and muscle disorder, which affects horses, sheep, cattle, alpacas, and some species of deer. Strategies include the use of low-endophyte grass varieties to minimise animals’ exposure to the toxins. More recently, effective binding agents have come on the market that mop up the toxins, allowing affected animals to excrete them in their faeces. Symptoms of ryegrass staggers include: Trembling, unsteadiness and poor muscle co-ordination. In severe cases they will stagger and can fall over. Lack of control is often worst at the horse’s rear end. Erratic and anxious behaviour."

"text": "\"JARGON-FREE FACTS ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF GRASS ON NEW ZEALAND HORSES? Just like these 2 lovely horses shown here, most horses within New Zealand, are negatively affected by grass. Thankfully it's a relatively easy fix to return these previously wired horses to their previously happy states, as shown here with Gandalf and Otto, if you know what to do. SO HOW DOES GRASS CAUSE ISSUES....... The problems occur for a lot of horses specifically with New Zealand because 99% of all NZ paddocks are made up of PERENNIAL RYEGRASSESas the major base grass, which unfortunately include a natural occurring fungus, that has been used by farmers as a natural mould inhibitor to reduce the effects of invertebrate damage on the cow pasture such as insects, grass grubs, weevils etc... Dangerously so, this means our horses are exposed daily to eating these2 NASTY POISIONOUS TOXINSwhich are alkaloids and called LOLITREM B and EGOVALINE. These are a TOXIC FUNGUSthat live within the grass. They are present in all parts of the grass, including the leaf sheaths, with their highest content being in the seed-heads so whether your horse is eating long or short grass they are still eating toxins. DANGER TIMES........... It's when the grass flourishes through a mixture of warmer days, and then rain, like in spring or autumn (or as in 2012 for most of our year) that these toxins get completely out of control, and this tips the scales to be too much for our horses to cope with. So it'sthe intake of these chemicals that causes changes to take place within the horses brain and body, which effect your equines emotions too as they fight the confusion from incorrect signals coming from the brain....which all adds up to a very dangerous and unpredictable horse that could really hurt you and themselves. JARGON BUSTER AND RESULTS...... This results in a relatively unknown condition called TOXICOSIS which is basically another term for toxin poisoning. Other words for these toxins are MYCOTOXINS and ENDOPHYTES but it all really boils down to the same thing- POISONS!SHOCKINGLY SO, WE HAVE FOUND THAT MOST HORSE OWNERS, VETS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL EQUINE PRACTITIONERS DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE OR KNOW THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS AND THEREFORE THE HORSE IS NOT TREATED CORRECTLY FOR THIS AND IT IS EVEN OFTEN NOTED AS \"\"NAUGHTYNESS\"\" OR \"\"BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS\"\"WHICH WE ARE DISCOVERING IS SO OFTEN INCORRECT."

S. Bureau of Land Management removed from federal rangeland peer at visitors at the BLM's Palomino Valley holding facility about 20 miles north of Reno in Palomino Valley, Nev. The Cloud Foundation and Friends of Animas are petitioning the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to declare wild horses threatened or endangered in North America under the Endangered Species Act. ( AP Photo/Scott Sonner)Scott Sonner RENO (AP) — Despite overall numbers in the tens of thousands, mustang advocates say the wild horse is on the verge of going extinct in North America for the second time in 13,000 years and deserves protection under the Endangered Species Act alongside grizzly bears, the desert tortoise and humpback whales. Efforts to halt mustang roundups in Congress and the courts have been unsuccessful over the past decade, but two groups in a petition to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service are focusing on genetics and research they say prove the horses are a native species. They say growing threats from development, livestock grazing and government gathers are jeopardizing the genetic viability of individual herds in 10 states from California to Montana. \"\" Nothing else is working. This is a different avenue,\"\" said Michael Harris, a lawyer for Friends of Animals, a nonprofit animal rights group that filed the petition with the Colorado-based horse group, The Cloud Foundation. The petition states mustang habitat has shrunk 40 percent since President Richard Nixon signed the Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act into law in 1971. It advances an argument that the Bureau of Land Management long has rejected — that the wild horse is a native species that only temporarily went extinct on the continent 11,000 to 13,000 years ago before Spanish conquistadors reintroduced it to North America in the 1500s. The call for protection comes as BLM insists the public rangeland — much of it in the throes of drought — is being degraded by an overpopulation of nearly 50,000 horses and burros, about half of them in Nevada. The petition accuses the agency of undermining U. S. law protecting mustangs by abusing its authority to order roundups based on a determination that the herds are in \"\"excess\"\" to further the agency's interest in minimizing competition with wildlife, cattle and sheep."

They are the largest and most distinctive wild horses with bodies that are patterned with white and black stripes, the exact placement of which is unique to each individual. There are three different species of Zebra that are found in Africa which are the Common Zebra (also known as the Plains Zebra and the Burchell's Zebra), the Grevy's Zebra (also known as the Imperial Zebra) and the Mountain Zebra. They are incredibly sociable animals that can travel vast distances in search of fresh grass and water but are severely threatened throughout much of their natural range due to increasing levels of human activity. Today, both the Grevy's Zebra and the Mountain Zebra are considered to be endangered species and although the Common Zebra is more widespread and numerous, there have been sharp population declines in certain areas. Zebra Anatomy and Appearance Zebras are heavy bodied animals that are perfectly designed for speed with their long and slender legs and narrow hooves helping them to reach speeds of 40kph when running. In the same way as horses, they only have a single toe on each foot which they walk on the tip of and is protected by their tough hooves. Their black and white stripes are unique to each individual and help them to identify each other when in the herd. Zebras have long necks and heads that mean they can easily reach the grass on the ground and a mane that extends from their forehead and along their back to the tail. The pattern of their stripes varies between the species with Grevy's and Mountain Zebras having narrower stripes and white undersides, while the Common Zebra has broad stripes that cover its entire body."

They are best known for their distinctive white and black stripes, which come in different patterns unique to each individual. They are generally social animals and can be seen in small harems to large herds. Zebras are generally 2.3 m (8ft) long, stand 1.25-1.5 m (4-5ft) at the shoulder, and weigh around 300kg (660 lbs), although some can grow to more than 410 kg (900 lbs). In addition to their stripes, zebras have erect, mohawk-like manes. Unlike their closest relatives, horses and donkeys, zebras have not been truly domesticated. There are three species of zebra: the Plains Zebra, Grevy's Zebra and the Mountain Zebra. They can be found in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills. Zebras were the second species to diverge from the earliest proto-horses, after the asses, around 4 million years ago. The Grevy's zebra is believed to have been the first zebra species to emerge."

"text": "\"How Much Weight Can My Horse Carry? We often hear this question in reference to all manner of weight: the rider, the horse saddlebags, hornbags, pack loads, etc. There is no simple answer. Just like humans, some animals will be able to comfortably carry more weight than others and each animal needs to be evaluated individually. Factors to consider For every ride you plan, you should take the following into account when determining each animal’s load size, whether it's your trail horse, your pack horse, your saddle mule or your pack mule: Size and weight of animal Condition and health of the animal Conditioning and fitness of the animal Conformation of the animal Attitude of the animal Age of animal Size, fit and weight of the trail saddle or pack saddle Ability of the trail saddle or pack saddle to distribute weight across the animal’s back Weight of the rider or pack load Ability of the rider Design of the packs or horse saddlebags Distance of the ride Type of terrain Altitude Temperature and weather conditions Many of these are self explanatory, but I do want to touch on some important points. Percentage of body weight When packers ask me how much weight they can safely load on a their pack horse or pack mule, I give them the basic rule of thumb of 20% of the animal's body weight, depending on all of the factors in the list above. To pack a heavy load, an animal needs to be in good health. This doesn't just refer to whether or not he has a cold, but whether his feet are in good condition and properly shod or trimmed, whether he has any bites or sores in spots where they could be irritated by the gear and whether he is well rested and prepared for the trip ahead. Good fitness means your pack animal should be regularly and well exercised. Individual Assessment I can not stress enough that you have to know your animal and for every trip you need to evaluate at least the animal’s condition as well as the temperature, distance and terrain of your ride and base your load weight on those factors."

When rarely hybridization does occur naturally as in hybrid zones where the ranges of closely related wild species overlap, the hybrid crosses produced, even though they may display hybrid vigour (heterosis) in the first generation ( F1 hybrid ), are in the long run less fit than the two parent species which have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years specializing in exploiting their own particular niche in nature.

Based on fossil records, the genus appears to have originated in North America about 4 million years ago and spread to Eurasia (presumably by crossing the Bering land bridge) 2 to 3 million years ago. Following that original emigration, there were additional westward migrations to Asia and return migrations back to North America, as well as several extinctions of Equus species in North America. The last prehistoric North American horses died out between 13,000 and 11,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene, but by then Equus had spread to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Animals that on paleontological grounds could be recognized as subspecies of the modern horse originated in North America between 1 million and 2 million years ago. When Linnaeus coined the species name, E. caballus, however, he only had the domesticated animal in mind. Its closest wild ancestor may have been the tarpan, often classified as E. ferus; there is no evidence, though, that the tarpan was a different species. In any case the domesticated horse probably did not arise at a single place and time, but was bred from several wild varieties by Eurasian herders. In recent years, molecular biology has provided new tools for working out the relationships among species and subspecies of equids. For example, based on mutation rates for mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) Ann Forstén, of the Zoological Institute at the University of Helsinki, has estimated that E. caballus originated approximately 1.7 million years ago in North America."

The lion is the most popular national animal in the world. A nation can have an animal, tree, bird, or an object as its national symbol. For example, the Bald Eagle is the national animal of the United States of America. It was adopted as a symbol of national significance by the Continental Congress on June 20th 1782. The design of the Bald Eagle holding 13 arrows, and a 13-leaf olive branch has been the same since its inception. National symbols are extremely important, as they represent certain aspects which are considered to be of national significance for the country and its people."

"text": "\"Gazelles are a genus (Gazella) found in the antelope family, six species of which can be found throughout Africa. Many of these small, horned creatures are endangered, and their populations in the deserts, plains, and savannas of Africa are threatened due to hunting, farming, and loss of habitat. Dorcas Gazelle The most common gazelle in the Sahara desert is the Dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas), with several subspecies residing throughout northern Africa and the Middle East as well. The appearance of these gazelles can vary by subspecies, and ranges fawn to reddish-brown coats with stripes on the flanks and face in several shades of brown and white. They stand up to 2 feet tall and can weigh up to 44 pounds. Dorcas gazelles are highly adapted to desert life, and are able to get all required moisture from their plant matter-based diet without ever taking a drink of water. While these gazelles are not endangered, their population is considered vulnerable due to illegal hunting and habitat loss, caused by land development and agriculture. Grant's Gazelle Grant's gazelles (Nanger granti) are named for explorer James A. Grant, who discovered the source of the Nile with John H. Speke in 1862. These large gazelles stand 65 inches high and can weight up to 147 pounds, with pale brown coats and a white patch above their tails, similar to Thomson's gazelles. They are found in the savannas, deserts, and plains of east Africa, and are not considered threatened or endangered."

With its high top speed (several sources list about 70 mph (112 kph)) it can catch just about any other animal; however it can't sustain this speed for long. It preys primarily on smaller antelopes and gazelles. Cheetahs are critically endangered. The lion (below left) is not as fast, but it can take down larger prey, particularly when it works with other lions. Even so, much of a lion's diet can come from scavenging the kills of other creatures. Adult elephants (above right) are pretty much immune from predation, and because of their social structure, the young are pretty well protected, too. For a predator to approach a young elephant it would normally have to fight its way through the mother and a few aunts or sisters, and perhaps even a bull or two. When elephants get p****d they just step on things, and those things usually break. Elephants can also have a tremendous impact (literally) on the environment, as heavily trod areas (such as near a water hole) can become devoid of plant life."

History First described scientifically in the late 19th century by Russian explorer N. M. Przewalski, for whom the horse is named, the horse once freely roamed the steppe along the Mongolia-China border. Never again seen in the wild, Przewalski’s horses have since been kept and bred in captivity and have recently been reintroduced in Mongolia. Size and Appearance With a short, muscular body, Przewalski’s horses are smaller than most domesticated horses. They have a pale belly and beige to reddish-brown coat that is short during summer and thicker and longer in winter. Their muzzle is white, and they don an erect and dark mane that lines their large head and neck. They stand about 12 to 14 hands tall at the shoulder, or about 48 to 56 inches, and weigh about 440 to 750 pounds. Behavior While extant in the wild, these horses ate grasses and other vegetation on the steppe, shrublands, and plains of western Mongolia and northern China."

[ 9] Since the extinction of the tarpan, attempts have been made to reconstruct its phenotype, resulting in horse breeds such as the Konik and Heck horse. [ 10] [11] However, the genetic makeup and foundation bloodstock of those breeds is substantially derived from domesticated horses, so these breeds possess domesticated traits.

Hostas are shade-tolerant, low maintenance, quite forgiving, incredibly elegant and, quite possibly, habit-forming. And they are currently the most popular perennial in the U. S. Plenty Hardy for the Midwest Hostas are hardy, herbaceous perennials meaning they emerge each spring from winter dormancy. Unlike many perennials, they are primarily grown for their foliage. Native to China, Japan and Korea, hostas were introduced into the U. S. (via Europe) in the early 1800's. Today there are literally thousands of different hosta cultivars available reflecting their overwhelming popularity with home gardeners. An Incredible Range of Foliage Options The range of hosta foliage color, shape, texture and size is extraordinary. Foliage colors include green, blue, white, gold and countless unique variegated combinations. Leaf shapes include circular, oval, heart and lance in both upright and symmetrical mounding habits."

"text": "Home » Trees What Can You Plant Under a Pine Tree? By Alexis Lawrence; Updated September 21, 2017When planting beneath pine trees, there are two major challenges: The dense distribution of branches and needles makes it very difficult for light to get through to plants below—and the ground beneath a pine tree becomes acidic from the constant falling of pine needles. There isn’t much that you can do to prevent these problems, but there are a few plants that can thrive under these conditions. Wild Strawberries Growing on vines that spread out across the ground, wild strawberries can grow quite well in shaded areas and don’t mind the acidity of the soil under pine trees. Pine needles can serve in the place of straw and keep the strawberries out of the dirt so that they are ready to be picked. If you want to actually eat the berries though, you must be vigilant, as the same birds that are attracted to the pine trees will eat the strawberries beneath as quickly as they ripen. Flowers Azaleas and rhododendrons are two popular types of flowers that grow well in the shade of a pine tree and do well in acidic soil. In fact, azaleas and rhododendrons grow so well under acidic conditions that the pine needles that fall around them can be left as mulch. Geraniums can also survive with very little sun in the acidic soil beneath pines. Shrubs and Vines There are a variety of popular shrubs and vines that can thrive without a great deal of sunlight in the acidic soil under pine trees."

If you prune a flowering shrub at the wrong time of the year, you will probably miss out on that plant’s blooms for that season. While this isn’t the end of the world and the plant will recover to flower again the following year, it is definitely disappointing. The risk of missing out on a season’s worth of flowering is probably the main reason most people fear pruning their shrubs. The good news is that pruning shrubs at the wrong time of year almost never harms the plant itself. To determine when to prune a plant without interrupting its bloom cycle, you need to know if your shrub flowers on new wood or on old wood. These two terms get thrown around a lot, but are rarely explained in simple terms. Here’s what they mean: Flowering on new wood means that a plant does not create flower buds until after growth begins in spring."

If you're wondering what you can plant in the fall, the answer is almost anything. Here are six plant types to put in the ground during the fall. By Deb Wiley13 did it Pin Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Print Spring may be special, but fall is fine for planting. Turfgrass, spring-blooming bulbs, cool-season vegetables, perennials, trees, and shrubs can all be effectively planted in the fall. Fall has distinct planting benefits. Autumn's cooler air temperatures are easier on both plants and gardeners. The soil is still warm, allowing roots to grow until the ground freezes. On the flip side, in spring, plants don't grow until the soil warms up. Fall has more good days for planting than spring does, when rain and other unpredictable weather can make working the soil impossible."

A mainstay of shaded perennial borders, they’re also great beside garden pools, along shaded paths, and in pots. Give them moist, rich soil. Advertisement2 of 19Amethyst flower (Browallia hybrids)If you love blue flowers, this annual is a must. Amethyst flower has star-shaped blooms of brilliant blue and sky blue, as well as violet and white; they nearly cover the 1- to 2-foot-tall plants. Put them in hanging baskets or containers, then make them really happy by displaying them in a location that gets warm shade or filtered sunlight. Leaves are small, roundish, and green.

"text": "\"5 Shrubs that Rarely Need Pruning - a great looking landscape without a lot of work -Posted on October 17, 2016When gardeners go to a nursery and ask, “What shrubs can I plant that don't require pruning?\"\" they are bound to get a wide variety of responses. Some shrubs are best left unpruned because pruning reduces the number of flowers. Other shrubs simply look best left in natural state. And then there are some shrubs that just have a naturally compact, slow-growing habit that eliminates the need for regular pruning. These are ideal choices for small areas or for those folks who just don't want to spend a lot of time on garden maintenance. Here is a sampling of low-maintenance shrubs that rarely require pruning: Azaleas and Rhododendrons This is perhaps the largest group of shrubs that are typically left unpruned. Azaleas and rhododendrons ( Rhododendron spp.) naturally have an elegant, compact shape. They can end up looking butchered when pruned plus, the more you prune them, the fewer flowers there will be next year."

It may help you to draw a sunlight map to discover the shaded areas of your garden before you do any planting to assist you in your final design. Where this is not possible however due to an already established garden for example it is still possible to get the most out of your shady areas. Take into account the amount of time the plants will be shaded for when choosing which plants to put where. Some areas may only be in light and partial shade whereas others may experience near total shade due to large objects such as trees and walls. Different shade loving plants will thrive in different shade amount areas. Trial and error may be key as well as watching your garden throughout the year to see exactly how the sun moves over it and when. Having a shady garden is not such a terrible thing and while many of us see gardens as reaching their full potential once they are filled with colour they are also spectacular when splashed with luscious green. This list of shade loving plants are some of the most popular and will brighten up any dark corner of your garden. For shade loving bedding plants see: Pansies, Busy Lizzies and Violas."

"text": "Black Walnut trees produce juglone in its fruit, leaves and branches that can be excreted from the root system into the soil. By Chris Feeley Extension Forester Iowa State University As a forester, I very often am asked “Will black walnuts have harmful effects on nearby plants?” Like a true professional, I always give the best answer. Maybe. In the 1880s, scientists identified a compound called juglone that is produced by black walnut trees. After conducting a few tests, the scientists demonstrated that injury and sometimes death resulted when the chemical juglone came in contact with a susceptible plant. The symptoms that they noted were yellowing leaves, wilting and eventual death of certain plants. We now know that juglone is produced in the fruit, leaves and branches, and can be excreted from the root system into the soil. The actual concentration in each tree part varies with the season. In spring, juglone is concentrated in the actively growing leaves."

The garden can be as small as a single tree or perennial plant or as large as an oversized flowerbed or garden with many different flowers, ornamental grasses, and even shrubs and trees, depending on available space. When selecting plants for a memorial garden, consider the favorite flowers of the individual you are honoring. Did that person love daisies or lilacs? Prefer peonies or poppies? Did he or she have a favorite season such as spring, making a bulb garden of daffodils, tulips, and other spring bloomers the perfect tribute? Or think about the fragrances or colors that evoke fond memories. Perhaps the scent of lavender or roses reminds you of that person. Another possibility is to include plants that have the same name as your friend or loved one, such as black-eyed susan (rudbeckia), veronica, or sweet william. If red was his or her favorite color, consider planting a garden consisting primarily of red hues with a single accent color such as silver."

Brown On this page Annuals Bulbs Perennials Herbs and vegetables An abundance of large trees and shady areas in your yard can be a challenge to the creative gardener, rather than an obstacle to good gardening. Shady places that provide cool, refreshing areas of beauty during summer's heat also can contribute color and interest to the landscape throughout the growing season. Gardening in the shade doesn't have to be frustrating. Some plants will tolerate relatively low light, and a few actually thrive in it. You can choose from an array of flowering annuals, perennials, bulbs, and woodland plants for color. Many groundcovers do well in problem areas. In light shade you might even be able to grow a few herbs or leafy vegetables. The trick is to know which plants are most likely to succeed and then to give them the kind of care that will improve their chances. You also have to be willing to experiment a bit to find which plants grow best in your particular locale. First, assess how much light the plants will actually receive."

In 1852, the butcher's guild in Frankfurt-am-Main created a smoked, spiced sausage in a thin casing, dubbed a \"\"little-dog\"\" or \"\"dachshund sausage\"\" for its obvious resemblance to the low-riding German dog. ( Those funny Germans!) Its other popular name was, of course, the frankfurter. Wiener comes from a similar sausage made in Vienna. Unlike the usual wursts, dachshund sausages were usually sold with bread. In 1871, an immigrant German butcher opened the proto-hot dog stand at Coney Island, selling the dachshund sausages wrapped in a milk roll. By 1893, the portable meat-tubes were already a regular accompaniment to baseball games and other sporting events. The popular legend on the etymology of hot dog holds that a cartoonist named T. A. \"\"Tad\"\" Dorgan attended a polo match in New York in 1901 where vendors roamed the aisles imploring patrons to \"\"get your red-hot dachshund sausages.\"\" Enchanted, Dorgan drew a smiling dachshund nestled in a long bun, but couldn't spell dachshund, so he captioned it \"\"hot dog!\"\""

Historians believe that its origins can be traced all the way back to era of the notorious Roman emperor Nero, whose cook, Gaius, may have linked the first sausages. In Roman times, it was customary to starve pigs for one week before the slaughter. Gaius was watching over his kitchen when he realized that one pig had been brought out fully roasted, but somehow not cleaned. He stuck a knife into the belly to see if the roast was edible, and out popped the intestines: empty because of the starvation diet, and puffed from the heat. According to legend, Gaius exclaimed, “I have discovered something of great importance!” He stuffed the intestines with ground game meats mixed with spices and wheat, and the sausage was created."

On the other hand, nutritionists point out that hot dogs are far from nutritious. Yet, says the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans purchase some 9 billion hot dogs a year in grocery stores and many more from street and ballpark vendors.

"text": "Q From Alec and Edna Collins, Israel: What is the origin of hot dog as in a sausage in a roll? A The usual story told about this comestible is that it was first sold by a food concessionaire named Harry Stevens at New York’s Polo Grounds, the home of the New York Giants, in the early 1900s. It is said that the famous cartoonist T A Dorgan (Tad) recorded these odd new things in a cartoon in the New York Journal, drawing them as dachshunds in buns, and called them hot dogs because he couldn’t spell frankfurter. This tale is reproduced in almost every book on word histories I have on my shelves, and at many online sites, too. It seems to have come about as the result of the obituary of Harry Stevens that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on 4 May 1934, in which these supposed events were recorded; the writer may have borrowed the story from an article in Restaurant Man in 1929. There are variations: the Encyclopaedia Britannica says the first stall selling them was at Coney Island in 1916; I’ve also seen the St Louis World Fair of 1904 cited as the starting point, which takes us well away from the New York nexus of the majority view. Hardly any of this is true. Leonard Zwilling, of the Dictionary of American Regional English, has published a lexicon of Tad’s language (he popularised a number of phrases, such as malarkey, hard-boiled, and kibitzer, so he was worth the effort), and he did find a 1906 cartoon illustrating Harry Stevens’ hot dogs, though it was at a six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden, not at the Polo Grounds. However, since the first recorded use of the phrase is way back in 1895, neither Tad nor Mr Stevens could claim inventor’s rights in the name. All this has been exhaustively researched by Barry Popik of the American Dialect Society, and a summary appears in America in So Many Words by David K Barnhart and Allan A Metcalf."

They are all-beef franks. Would cooked ground beef be better? How about tuna? Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hot dogs are a definite no. They contain alot of fat and seasonings (onion and garlic) that are very bad for your cat. Unseasoned ground beef would be better but if you have some chicken you can boil (unseasoned) that would be great. Don't give any tuna."

"text": "\"Fast Food June 2nd, 2014America's best hot dogs By Dan Myers | The Daily Meal Facebook Twitter Flipboard Print Email The hot dog is one of those foods that’s nearly impossible to screw up. You heat it through, plop it on a bun, squirt on some mustard, and call it dinner. But there’s a big difference between not screwing something up and turning it into a paradigm-shifting, transcendental dining experience. And there are lots of hot dogs out there that have the power to change your life. The perennial grill mate to hamburgers, the hot dog sometimes gets the short end of the stick, charring at the back of the grill while juicy burgers are snatched up as soon as they hit the right temperature. But there’s a science, if not an art form, behind constructing the perfect hot-dog-eating experience. That experience was introduced more than 100 years ago, when German immigrants first brought over their frankfurters and started selling them on the cheap, at places like Coney Island’s Nathan's, arguably ground zero for American hot dog consumption. But then something interesting happened. People began developing their own spice mixes and making their own hot dogs, and every region and group of people put its unique stamp on the snack. In Chicago they top all-beef dogs with mustard, fresh tomatoes, onions, sport peppers, bright green relish, dill pickles, and celery salt."

"text": "\"Pets Dogs Why is a hot dog called a hot dog? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The popularity of the term hot dog is generally attributed to sports cartoonist T. A. \"\"Tad\"\" Dorgan, who caricatured German figures as dachshund dogs just after the turn of the 19th century. His talking sausage cartoons generally denigrated the cheap wieners sold at Coney Island, crassly suggesting they contained dogmeat. It was such bad publicity that in 1913, the Chamber of Commerce actually banned use of the term \"\"hog dog\"\" from signs on Coney Island. The term actually first appeared in print in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1900. German Americans brought us weinerwurst, German for Vienna sausage, which eventually became shortened to wiener. Other German immigrants referred to smoked sausages as bundewurst, which is German for dog sausage. By the late 1920's, wienie roasts became the rage, with guests bringing their own hot dogs to roast over an open fire. Credit for putting the hot dog into a warm bun and topping it with various condiments goes to Harry Magely, catering director of New York City's Polo Grounds, who reportedly instructed his vendors to cry out, \"\"Red hots! Get your red hots!\"\""

Don't care about cage-free, antibiotic-free, weird-chemicals-free fast casual? Well, Burger King is with you. Today the Home of the Whopper is taking a step back in time to bet on America’s favorite retro mystery meat: the hot dog. For about $2 ($4 if you want a meal deal), you can now buy a grilled Oscar Mayer wiener at any of Burger King's 12,000 U. S. locations. If that sounds like a bizarre move, that’s because it is, at least in the context of prevailing cultural trends. Burger King itself has done its share of experimenting with new \"\"healthier\"\" products, namely its \"\"Satisfries,\"\" which were supposed to have as much flavor as normal fries with less fat. They didn't, so they were pulled before you ever heard of them. Now BK is taking a very different tack. Their communications teams have been busy, ahem, hamming it up on Twitter and churning out quippy Vine videos to promote its dogs."

"text": "Eating Out There are many restaurants that now offer a gluten free menu, but there are also many that have no gfcf friendly options. I will try to keep this post as up-to-date as possible. If you have any restaurants or information you would like me to add, please leave a comment below. One reason many restaurants are not gfcf friendly is because of cross-contamination. For example: a restaurant may fry glutenous chicken nuggets in a batch of oil, then turn around and fry their fries in the same oil, thereby contaminating the would-be gluten free fries. Usually at a fast food restaurant that is not cross-contaminated I order my son a hamburger kids meal, no bun, with french fries. It’s not the healthiest but hey, we don’t eat out that often. * Click on the title to be taken to that restaurants allergen information. Mc Donalds Pretty much everything, even the fries, grilled chicken, everything…contains wheat. Burger King They have their own fryer for french fries and their patties/grilled chicken do not contain wheat."

So, too, has baseball spectatorship -- in particular, the art of eating and drinking your way through nine long innings. Sure, hot dogs are good, but once you’ve had one piled high with poutine, you’re a changed man. And these days, if you’re overpaying for a stadium beer, it might as well be craft. In honor of opening day, we took it upon ourselves to rank all the MLB stadiums based on food and drink. We awarded extra points for local-centric foods, creativity, and craft beer dominance.

I feel very sorry for you!Corn Dog 7 had fabulous hot dogs, of course…but their Cheese-on-a-Stick was what I loved the most as I traipsed through the mall with my best friend Jenn, buying things like neon pink fingerless gloves and Soloflex posters and Duran Duran tapes. I miss the Eighties so much it hurts. I’m going to go text Jenn right now. One thing about this blessed, glorious batter: if you have any left over, it makes perfect pancakes the next day. And for that matter, you can use the batter to coat and fry cooked breakfast sausage links, then serve them with pancake syrup for “dipping.” The possibilities are endless. And fattening. And endlessly fattening. First things first: Use chopsticks for sticks!"

"text": "Hot Spots on dogs: Causes and treatment Hot spots are an irritating skin condition that affects countless dogs every year. Here, Dr. Henry Cerny, DVM, MS of Yankee Hill Veterinary Hospital, answers some common questions about hot spots. What are hot spots on dogs and how can we detect them? A hotspot (also known as pyotramatic or moist dermatitis) is a condition which involves an area of skin which has become inflamed and infected. The affected skin often appears as a moist, oozing, reddened area that is painful and very itchy to the dog. Hair loss may also be seen. Continued licking and chewing at the area by the dog worsens the condition dramatically. What causes hot spots and can they be prevented? Anything that causes itchiness of the skin can lead to the development of hot spots on dogs. Some common triggers are atopy (allergies to things in the environment such as grasses, trees, weeds, dust mites, etc), food allergies, fleas, mites, insect bites and skin wounds."

"text": "Flea Allergy Dermatitis in Dogs Flea Allergy Dermatitis What is Flea Allergy Dermatitis? As the name suggest it is an allergy. It is an allergic skin disorder which occurs when a dog or cat is hypersensitive to flea saliva. When a flea bites a dog or cat it injects it's saliva into the animal. Flea saliva contains many antigens which some dogs and cats are very susceptible to. Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common allergy in dogs and is a very itchy and painful condition. Your dog may not have many fleas but it only takes one bite from one flea to trigger the allergic reaction. Flea Allergy Dermatitis is most common in the summer because in the northern hemisphere that is when fleas are most prevalent. In countries with warmer climates it can persist all year round. Cooler temperatures and low humidity tend to inhibit flea development."

"text": "Dog Health Dog Allergies With Itching & Licking of the Feetby Brenna Davis Dogs often have allergic reactions on their skin, even if the allergen is something your dog ate. Compulsive licking and chewing of the feet warrant an appointment with a veterinarian and often indicates an allergic reaction. Allergy Symptoms In addition to licking and chewing his paws, your dog might display other allergy symptoms. When dogs compulsively chew their skin they're liable to develop hot spots -- scabbed patches of skin that may be bloody or hardened. Allergies can cause rash, red spots and bald spots. If your dog suffers from intestinal problems such as diarrhea or vomiting, has runny, red eyes or sneezes frequently, he likely has allergies. Common Allergens Dogs can become allergic to anything. Among the most common allergens are everyday substances such as grass, pollen and dust. Food is another source of allergy in dogs; fillers such as corn and gluten are especially likely to cause allergic reactions. Food allergies can cause skin problems, so it's worth looking into to determine if a certain ingredient is causing your dog to lick his feet."

Learn more about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases. Dandruff Many puppies seem to have more dandruff or dry, flaky skin than would be expected. This is quite normal in puppies and is especially noted in those with dark coat colors. This is simply because the dander becomes quite visible against the dark hair. In most puppies, especially those less than four months of age, the normal lubricating glands (sebaceous glands) of the skin tend to be underactive. As these glands mature their lubrication output increases to match the needs of the coat. Factors such as dry air (low humidity) will also contribute to dander production. Dander is dry, dead skin that in the absence of moisture will flake away and be visible as white flakes. This 'flaking' may also be itchy."

As the issue becomes increasingly irritating, the dog will begin to lick, chew and scratch at the area, causing bacteria to grow and before you know it, your puppy has a hot spot. The key with hot spots is to act fast!!! Did you know that a hot spot can go from being barely visible, to several inches in size in just thirty minutes? Did you also know that when the problem goes untreated the spot can increase to twenty times its size in just a day? Like I said, you need to Act Fast!Here's how you can treat those hot spots at home, easily and effectively. First of all you need to clear away some of the fur in the area of the hot spot. Use some K-Y Jelly and apply it to the spot. Hold a couple of fingers against the spot so that you can carefully cut away the fur above your finger line and go beyond the outer edges of the sore approximately one inch. Use warm water to rinse the area well and you'll find that by using the jelly, the fur has stuck to it and washes out easily."

When Is it Time to See the Vet? How Are Hot Spots Treated? How Can I Help Prevent Hot Spots? How Can I Make My Dog Feel More Comfortable? Hot spots, also known as acute moist dermatitis, are red, moist, hot and irritated lesions that are typically found on a dog ’s head, hip or chest area. Hot spots often grow at an alarming rate within a short period of time because dogs tend to lick, chew and scratch the affected areas, further irritating the skin. Hot spots can become quite painful."

"text": "Hot Spots on Dogs: Canine Acute Moist Dermatitis James Watts June 18, 2013 Health Care 3 Comments 8,884 Views Facebook Twitter Google + Linked In Pinterest Hot spots on dogs (also known as canine acute moist dermatitis) are bacterial skin infections caused by irritation. Hot spots usually occur on the paw, limbs, hip, chest or ears but can develop almost anywhere on the body. Hot spot related bacterial infections arise initially as a result of biting or scratching at a site of irritation. This irritation could be the result of a number of causes (listed below). The irritated area quickly becomes inflamed and itchy. If left untreated a hot spot can develop rapidly becoming relatively large. A hot spot can grow from a coin sized sore to a human-fist sized, inflamed swelling in less than a day. The dog will continue to chew, lick and scratch the affected area, worsening the condition. This creates a favourable environment for bacterial infection. As the infection progresses, oozing sores and crusty scabs, typical of hot spots on dogs, begin to develop."

"text": "Home Safe Reviews If you’re someone who thinks that security systems advertise that you have something to protect (and you’re not alone), perhaps you should consider a safe instead. After all, even if you don’t want would-be thieves to know you have valuables it is wise to make sure they’re well protected. Of course, when you do actively and noticeably protect the weak spots around your home, a safe is still a good idea. Just think of it as a second barrier for burglars and other unwanted guests, because even if they manage to get around your security system (for instance when you’re at home – God forbid) you always have the safe to keep them from taking your most valuable possessions. So, for this page of my website I’ve carefully chosen a few of my best picks that will hopefully suit all budgets and needs. Best Wall Safe – Stack-On PWS-1522What I will say about this safe is it will not protect what you keep inside from fire or water (the price reflects that). However it’s made from solid steel, the hinges are hidden and the manufacturer has also made the door pry resistant. The locking plate is made of extra thick steel for added peace of mind. What’s great about a safe like this is you can hide it. Pop a picture over it, a wall hanging or anything else that looks inconspicuous and you immediately have a place for your valuables that will take time to find (something a burglar doesn’t have much of)!As for the lock itself, this is electronic and comes with a user programmed keypad."

There’s a higher risk from opportunistic crime during the festive period and carnival season. If possible, avoid travel outside major populated areas late at night and before dawn. There have been incidents of violence and fatal accidents caused by erratic driving to and from Piarco International airport, particularly on the Beetham/Churchill Roosevelt highway and Lady Young Road. There have been some recent disturbances in the Beetham area that have caused major disruption to traffic on the highway. Always drive with windows closed and doors locked.

How can hoteliers ensure that their property provides as secure an environment as possible, while maintaining friendly customer service? As Warren Buffet said: “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” A single act of crime on your property could diminish your brand. Hotels need to partner with an experienced physical security provider, and ensure that the entire staff understands the need to keep security top of mind – always. Savvy hoteliers should consider the following solutions when looking to improve their property’s security: Maintain Security-Minded Customer Service – Front desk staff and valets are trained to embody a “customer first” customer service model. While maintaining friendly, responsive interactions with customers is crucial, it is also important to vigilantly follow all security protocols. What happens when a nicely dressed man asks the valet for his car or stored bags? As a matter of course, does the valet validate the request against identification, room card or ticket, or do they take the man at his word that that the Gucci luggage and Mercedes Benz are indeed his own?"

Understand [ edit]The city combines a good location and climate with romantic baroque architecture from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a lovely jumble of Romanian and Hungarian cultures. There was a settlement in roman times called Varadinum vulgo where today is Oradea. It has a long history, being mentioned for the first time in a document in the year 1113. Oradea was declared town in 1235. In 1080 it became the residence of the Roman-Catholic Bishop. Oradea is a multicultural city with Romanians (73.1%, 2011 census) and Hungarians (24.9%, 2011 census) forming the two major ethning groups. Both of these cultures are apparent in the city giving it a special charm and pleasant mix of architecture."

"text": "Millions of Americans visit the Dominican Republic each year without problems, however, crime remains a serious problem in this Caribbean nation. Violent crime only rarely touches visitors, but property crimes are much more common and sometimes tourists are specifically targeted. Credit-card fraud is a particular concern. As with any travel to a new destination, there are certain precautions that travelers should be aware of and certain steps that may be taken to lower the risk of being a victim of island crime. The Dominican Republic Crime and Safety Report is published annually by the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and should be consulted before embarking on your trip. Types of Crime in The Dominican Republic The overall threat of crime in the Dominican Republic is high, and although security tends to be better in tourist areas, you should never let your guard down, because no place within the country is immune from crime, violent or otherwise. For example, the top five most violent cities in the Dominican Republic include Samana, which is home to thousands of humpback whales during the winter season, and is very popular with tourists at that time, while the rate of assaults was highest in La Romana, which has a high rate of all-inclusive resorts. The types of crimes most often targeting visitors include: Drive-by robberies remain the most commonly reported crime. Most often, robbers will ride on motorcycles or scooters and snatch valuables from unsuspecting tourists and ride off with no trace. Visitors are advised to keep their valuables close, and out of sight at all times to avoid such thefts."

"text": "Systems A Lock on Hotel Security Share By Curt Harler Published In October 2004The next generation of hotel security and lock systems will depend on two features—ease of access for the guest and ease of control for the hotel. As a result, there are some subtle shifts in the market that will change how electrical contractors do business. The electronic key card is fast becoming the guest’s one passport to all services from opening the room door to accessing the in-room safe to buying a drink at the bar. Security can audit rooms remotely. In an emergency, all room doors can be opened at the push of a button. Conversely, if a door is left ajar, the security desk is notified and can check to be sure the room is secured. Contractors have to deal with connections to hotel computer networks as well as the traditional lock and motion- detector systems. “The key to a good lock is dependability,” said Bernard Lefebvre, director of North American Sales for Kaba Ilco’s Hospitality Division, Montreal. “There is a lot of new technology out there,” he said, “but the technology does not matter if the lock does not work.

The Department of Labor finally released its long-awaited overtime rule, and it's likely to send a ripple of changes through workplaces between now and December -- when employers must begin to comply. Related: Here's How the New Overtime Rules Will Affect Entrepreneurs The rule will automatically extend overtime pay protections to over 4 million workers within the first year of implementation, resulting in a boost to many workers’ wallets. The means: The rule doubles the minimum salary threshold to exempt an employee from overtime pay. In general, employers have three compliance options: Raise non-exempt employee salaries so those people maintain their exempt status Reclassify hourly employees as salaried employees Reclassify salaried employees as hourly, adjusting their base pay in order to account for overtime. This last option is the most cost-neutral. If done right, employees will earn the same amount they did before the rule change. But when you reclassify employees, you have much more to consider than just simply the financial aspects. Your employees are your company, so any decisions you make need to help nurture their careers and lives in the right ways. Here’s what happens when a salaried, exempt employee becomes a non-exempt hourly one -- and all the elements a company should consider: The legal implications Reclassifying employees as hourly workers is legal, but employers still need to be careful."

"text": "News & Knowledge Employee Expense Reimbursement/Per Diem Policies – Practical Considerations When Using The Services of Contingent Workers09.10.13Mark A. Goldsmith Amie N. Broder Although employees are subject to income and employment taxes on amounts paid to them as compensation, employees are not taxed on amounts paid to them as reimbursement of substantiated business expenses, including for meals and other incidental expenses while working away from home. 1 Employers can reimburse employees based upon documents substantiating the travel and related expenses. Alternatively, to simplify record-keeping for employers and employees, employers can provide, in certain circumstances, employees with a per diem allowance for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred when traveling in an amount that does not exceed guidance approved annually by the Internal Revenue Service. Such a per diem allowance, commonly referred to as a qualified per diem plan, is deemed to satisfy the expenditure substantiation requirement without the need to maintain detailed records and receipts for expenditures. Nevertheless, the employee must still maintain a log recording the days worked away from home, the location where the services are performed, and the business purposes of the travel, and provide the log to the employer. Many entities that utilize the services of contingent workers for specific or limited duration projects utilize the services of staffing firms and we will refer to them herein as customers of staffing firms. If a per diem plan is not a qualified per diem plan, the employee will be subject to various taxes and reporting obligations on the per diem payments, and could also lose his or her deduction for the expenses at issue. However, it is not just the employee who is at risk for participating in a non-qualifying per diem plan. The employer and potentially a customer using a staffing firm may be penalized for not properly withholding and paying employment related taxes on the disqualified per diem amounts, and for not properly reporting wages on a W-2. Such an employer and potentially a customer using a staffing firm may not be able to take a business expense deduction for the amounts at issue, and may not be able to avail itself of a compensation deduction on the re-characterized amounts."

"text": "by Kimberly A. Sarff Quinn, Johnston, Henderson, Pretorius and Cerulo If adopted, a proposed federal regulation will greatly impact employers with exempt employees making less than $50,440 annually. Are you an employer that employs “exempt” employees—those who earn a salary each week regardless of the number of hours worked? Do any of those employees make less than $50,440 annually? If so, you should be aware of a proposed federal regulation that could take effect as early as next year and may double the salary-basis threshold for exempt employees. This article discusses the proposed rule; examines the potential impact it could have on employers’ budgets, worker classifications and workplace flexibility; and identifies smart planning tips for employers. The Salary-Basis Test Employees are typically classified as either “non-exempt” or “exempt.” Non-exempt employees are not exempt from the federal and state wage laws and are required to be paid minimum wage and overtime compensation for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week at a rate of no less than one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate. Non-exempt employees are typically paid by the hour. On the other hand, exempt employees are exempt from federal and state wage laws and do not need to be paid minimum wage or overtime compensation. Exempt employees are typically paid a salary."

"text": "\"Business Law & Taxes Finance Glossary How to Calculate Overtime Pay for Hourly and Salaried Employees Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jean Murray Updated January 16, 2018The federal government (specifically the Department of Labor) assumes that all employees must be paid overtime if they work more than a certain number of hours in a week. Calculating overtime for hourly employees is fairly simple, but some salaried employees also must be paid overtime. This calculation is a little trickier. What Is Overtime? How Much is Overtime Pay? If an employee works more than a specified number of hours in a week, the additional hours are called overtime. Pay for any hours worked as overtime are paid at a higher rate than regular hours. Overtime pay for hourly employees is the additional pay rate paid for working more than a specific number of hours in a week. The federal minimum for overtime for hourly employees is that the person must be paid one and a half times the regular hourly rate for work over 40 hours a week. So, an hourly employee working 45 hours a week for $10 an hour would be paid $10 for 40 hours and $15 an hour for the 5 hours of overtime."

Table of Contents FLSA History Salary Basis Test Duties Test Executive, Professional and Administrative Exemption Test Compensation of Exempt Titles Compensation of Non-exempt Titles FLSA History The Fair Labor Standards Act, (FLSA), is a federal law dating back over half a century which establishes certain minimum requirements for employees' hours of work, wages, premium overtime and payroll records. The FLSA, identifies two types of employees: non-exempt employees and exempt employees: Non-exempt employees are employees who, based on the duties performed and the manner of compensation, are required to account for time worked and sick leave, vacation, and other leave on an hourly and fractional hourly basis. The FLSA requires that these employees be paid overtime at the premium (time-and-one-half) for actual time worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Exempt employees are employees who, based on the duties performed and the manner of compensation, are exempt from the FLSA minimum wage and overtime provisions. Exempt employees are paid an established monthly or annual salary and are expected to fulfill the duties of their positions regardless of the hours worked. They do not receive premium overtime, straight overtime or compensatory time for working more than 40 hours in a work week. Salary Basis Test: requirement that employees be paid at least $455 week or $1,971.66 a month \"\"on a salary basis\"\" was set to increase on December 1, 2016 to $913 per week or $3,956.34 a month ( see FLSA changes for additional information ). This means that the employee must receive his full predetermined salary for any week in which he performs any work, without regard to the number of days or hours worked or the quality or quantity of work performed. *: Duties Test: defines three categories of jobs which may be exempt from the overtime entitlement: executive, administrative and professional."

However, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to the employee for being on salary. For example, if I miss a day of work my pay is docked, but if I work 10 extra hours during the week I get no benefit at all since I'm exempt and the company doesn't have to pay overtime. It seems to me that the point of being salaried is that you always get the same amount of pay regardless of time, but in practice this translates to \"\"We don't have to pay you overtime, but you still have to work 8 hours a day\"\". For all intents and purposes it appears that the whole concept of salaried/exempt employees only benefits the company, who gets to ignore overtime laws, but has no apparent benefit to the employee, who has all the drawbacks of an hourly employee without getting any overtime or \"\"time and a half\"\" for working beyond the normal hours. Is there any employee benefit to being Salaried or is it only good for the employer?salaryshare improve this questionedited Apr 16 '12 at 14:46Rarity4,327 4 33 55asked Apr 14 '12 at 21:44Wayne Molina517 1 4 107You have no sick, vacation or personal time off? That would be so rare in the US that I've never known of a job with such few benefits. – Jeff O Dec 30 '13 at 16:141At the time I wrote this post, I was in a company that offered only 5 vacation days after 1 year of employment, and no sick time. The fact remains though that even when salaried my pay gets docked the equivalent hourly rate which seems to go against the entire idea of salary, that you are paid a fixed amount regardless of if you work 20 hours a week or 50 hours a week as you are paid for work not hours."

The FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek. However, Section 13 (a) (1) of the FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales employees. Section 13 (a) (1) and Section 13 (a) (17) also exempt certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 * per week. Job titles do not determine exempt status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee’s specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the Department’s regulations. See other fact sheets in this series for more information on the exemptions for executive, administrative, professional, computer and outside sales employees. Salary Basis Requirement To qualify for exemption, employees generally must be paid at not less than $455 * per week on a salary basis. These salary requirements do not apply to outside sales employees, teachers, and employees practicing law or medicine."

"text": "\"London house prices forecast to drop 3.6% this year as mansion tax fears and stamp duty hit overseas demand - but rest of the UK will see a small rise CEBR forecasts UK prices to rise 1.5% in 2015 - they rose 10% last year London prices to pick up again in 2016 with 2.7% growth, rising 6% in 2017By Camilla Canocchi for Thisismoney.co.uk Published: 05:14 EDT, 13 April 2015 | Updated: 05:35 EDT, 13 April 201536shares119View comments House prices in London are expected to drop this year amid lower foreign demand and uncertainty around the General Election, with the rest of the UK outperforming the capital for the first time in six years, economists predict. Property prices increased by 17.4 per cent in London in 2014, while across the UK they were 10 per cent higher on average. But the Centre for Economics and Business Research said they expect the capital to see a 3.6 per cent drop in prices this year as recent stamp duty reforms hit demand from wealthy buyers for houses in the top end of the market.+3London top properties: The Cebr forecast prices in the capital to fall this year, but expects a pick-up in 2016The value of properties across the UK, meanwhile, is expected to rise by just 1.5 per cent in 2015, although this is up from a previous forecast of a 0.6 per cent fall. That would be the first time since 2009 that national price growth is higher than in London. The CEBR said the upward revision was down to December’s stamp duty changes, which made the tax cheaper for the majority of buyers, as well as an improving labour market which has boosted consumer spending power.

Share this article36 shares HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELPWhat is stamp duty and how does it work?+3Stamp duty changes announced at the last Autumn Statement in December mean that buyers are now taxed progressively above thresholds, in a similar way to how income tax works, instead of being taxed on the whole value of the property from £125,000 upwards. Under the new system anyone buying a home costing under £937,000 should pay less or the same, Treasury figures show, while those buying homes costing more than £937,000 will face a bigger tax bill. Those buying a £200,000 home will pay £1,500 instead of £2,000. The big win though is for those previously caught in the 3 per cent tax trap, someone previously hit with an £8,250 bill on a £275,000 home will now pay £3,750."

"text": "Too hot, too cold, too hot. For more than a decade the housing market has been nowhere near its Goldilocks moment, a just-right rate of growth that offers opportunities for both buyers and sellers. By certain markers, we’re finally starting to get there: Home prices nationwide are expected to rise 4.9% on average this year, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). That’s closer than we’ve been in a while to the long-term average of 3.3%—and a lot more manageable than either the sharp drops of the bust years or the 12% spike we saw in 2013. What’s more, inventory is expected to loosen up, with 1.9 million units on the market this year—far below the flooded supply of 4 million we saw in 2008. The number of homes that were “flipped” (bought for a quick-sale investment) has dropped for the second year in a row, while the foreclosure rate is less than half what it was two years ago. Those are healthy signs for everyone (except, perhaps, for the small army of TV shows obsessed with renovating and flipping). Can the center hold? The big question now is whether this manageable growth is sustainable in the long term. Economists such as Moody’s Analytics’ Mark Zandi note that we certainly need more first-time homebuyers in the mix to make that happen, because they drive a good piece of demand, allowing current homeowners to trade up—or cash in."

"text": "\"The House of the Rising Sun From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see The House of the Rising Sun (disambiguation).\"\" The House of the Rising Sun \"\" is a traditional Rock song, sometimes called \"\" Rising Sun Blues \"\". It tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans; many versions also urge a sibling to avoid the same fate. The most successful commercial version, recorded in 1964 by British rock group the Animals, was a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart and also in the United States and France.

Musicologists say that it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads, and thematically it has some resemblance to the 16th-century ballad The Unfortunate Rake. [ 4] According to Alan Lomax, \"\"Rising Sun\"\" was used as the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and it was also a name for English pubs. [ 5] He further suggested that the melody might be related to a 17th-century folk song, \"\"Lord Barnard and Little Musgrave\"\", also known as \"\" Matty Groves \"\", [6] [7] but a survey by Bertrand Bronson showed no clear relationship between the two songs. [ 8] Lomax proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to New Orleans by white southern performers. ["

"text": "Facebook Twitter Google +Email Comment Print Wendy Gonzalez sits with an insurance agent from Sunshine Life and Health Advisors as she purchases insurance under the Affordable Care Act in the Mall of Americas. HEALTH CAREExperts see big price hikes for Obamacare Premiums could rise more sharply in 2016. By PAUL DEMKO05/30/2015 07:04 AM EDTShare on Facebook Share on Twitter The cost of Obamacare could rise for millions of Americans next year, with one insurer proposing a 50 percent hike in premiums, fueling the controversy about just how “affordable” the Affordable Care Act really is. The eye-popping 50 percent hike by New Mexico insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield is an outlier, and state officials may not allow it to go through. But health insurance experts are predicting that premiums will rise more significantly in 2016 than in the first two years of Obamacare exchange coverage. In 2015, for example, premiums increased by an average of 5.4 percent, according to Pw C’s Health Research Institute. The premium increases come at a tenuous time for Obamacare, which remains under fire from a Republican Congress that wants to repeal the law, while a Supreme Court ruling on federal subsidies for the health insurance looms in June as well. “Insurers seem to be reporting higher trend, which means they are seeing bigger increases in health care costs,” said Larry Levitt, senior vice president for special initiatives at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “ But really what’s going on here is they now have data showing what the risk pool looks like. Initially in 2014 they were completely guessing about who was going to enroll and how much health care they were going to use."

"text": "Getty Images Starter homes like these in Washington, D. C. are getting harder to find as inventory of homes in the U. S. has dropped to its lowest levels since 1999 according to Trulia.com, a San Francisco-based real estate research site. Even though the U. S. has seen more than three years of a booming seller’s market for housing, there are plenty of Americans who are reluctant to sell their homes for a very simple reason: Where are they going to live? The supply of U. S. homes for sale, known as inventory, last month dropped to the lowest levels since January 1999, according to Trulia.com, a San Francisco-based real estate research site. And on Wednesday, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) said that inventory of homes for sale last month was just 2.13 million homes, a supply of about 4.7 months. ( That means that it would take just less than five months at the current sales rate to deplete the entire inventory of homes for sale in the U. S.)The supply numbers are down 5.8% from a year ago and have declined year-over-year for the past 14 months. That compares to a more typical supply of 6 months in a healthy market, according to Trulia. Find homes for sale on Search Please enter a valid zipcode“Severely restrained inventory and the tightening grip it’s putting on affordability is the primary culprit for the considerable sales slump throughout much of the country last month,” said NAR’s Lawrence Yun, the association’s chief economist in a statement releasing the results. “ Realtors are reporting diminished buyer traffic because of the scarce number of affordable homes on the market, and the lack of supply is stifling the efforts of many prospective buyers attempting to purchase while mortgage rates hover at historical lows,” he said. Not only does the low housing inventory mean a bidding war for buyers, but sellers who may want to move to a smaller home and stay in the same market are quite often stuck — because of the rise in prices for smaller homes that are being fought over by both first-time buyers and downsizing empty-nesters. “A key part of the inventory problem is that in expensive markets it’s difficult for existing homeowners to find another home afterwards if they do sell,” said Ralph Mc Laughlin, chief economist with Trulia.com. “"

The indicators in here show whether you should continue to rent-and-save-for-a-deposit, or when the time is right to buy. For many, the goal of owning your own home remains a powerful objective - one we support. But affordability issues can be serious barrier to achieving this, and renting is often seen as a ‘second best’ outcome – what you are left doing if you can’t afford to buy.

The buyer agrees to purchase the asset on a specific date at a specific price. Derivatives are often used for commodities, such as oil, gasoline or gold. Another asset class is currencies, often the U. S. dollar . There are derivatives based on stocks or bonds. Still others use interest rates, such as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The contract's seller doesn't have to own the underlying asset. He can fulfill the contract by giving the buyer enough money to buy the asset at the prevailing price. He can also give the buyer another derivative contract that offsets the value of the first."

"text": "\"Home Affordable Refinance Program From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Home Affordable Refinance Program ( HARP) is a federal program of the United States, set up by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in March 2009, to help underwater and near-underwater homeowners refinance their mortgages. Unlike the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), which assists homeowners who are in danger of foreclosure, this program benefits homeowners whose mortgage payments are current, but who cannot refinance due to dropping home prices in the wake of the U. S. housing market correction. Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Program2.1 Qualifying criteria2.2 HARP 2.0 and PMI2.3 Occupancy type2.4 Appraisal waiver2.5 HARP 3.02.6 Deadline3 References4 See also5 External links Background [ edit]Millions of borrowers found themselves in a difficult predicament after the U. S. housing bubble burst in 2008. As inventories soared nationwide, home prices plummeted. Many new homeowners saw the value of their homes drop below the balance of their mortgages, or nearly so. Later, these same homeowners were prevented from taking advantage of lower interest rates through refinancing, since banks traditionally require a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 80% or less to qualify for refinancing without private mortgage insurance (PMI). [ 1]Take for example a house that was purchased for $160,000 but is now worth $100,000 due to the market decline. Further, assume the homeowner owes $120,000 on the mortgage. In this scenario, the loan-to-value ratio would be 120%, and if the homeowner chose to refinance, he would also have to pay for private mortgage insurance. If the homeowner were not already paying for PMI, the added cost could nullify much of the benefit of refinancing, so the homeowner could be effectively prohibited from refinancing. ["

If you currently own a home, look into grants and low interest loans for home repair assistance and mortgage refinancing. Almost any type of financing issued will come with advice and counseling from a specialist. A number of public and government resources are available from your local housing authority to help you meet your needs. Foreclosure prevention for homeowners The local housing authorities run a variety of programs for homeowners who have received a foreclosure notice and who are at risk of losing their homes. Some of the resources include home loan refinance and modification opportunities, free foreclosure counseling services, and also mortgage assistance in the form of low interest rate loans."

"text": "Chapter 13: The Bureaucracy I. A bureaucracy is a large, complex organization composed of appointed officials. Distinctiveness of the American Bureaucracy I. Three aspects of our constitutional system and political traditions give to the bureaucracy a distinctive character. A. Political authority over the bureaucracy is not in one set of hands but is shared among several institutions. Both the president and Congress exercise authority over the bureaucracy. B. Most of the agencies of the federal government share their functions with related agencies in state and local governments. Many agencies work with other organizations at other levels of the government. C. The institutions and traditions of American life have contributed to the growth of an “adversary culture,” in which the definition and expansion of personal rights, and the defense of rights and claims through lawsuits are given central importance. D. The US government regulates privately owned enterprises to a degree not found in many other countries. The Growth of the Bureaucracy I. In the first Congress, in 1789, James Madison introduced a bill to create a Department of State to assist the new secretary of state. People appointed to this department were to be nominated by the president and approved by the Senate, but could be removed by the president only."

"text": "Report Political Process From Administrative State to Constitutional Government December 14, 2012 Over an hour read Download Report Joseph Postell2017-18 Visiting Fellow in American Political Thought Copied Select a Section 1 /0Introduction Part 1: What Is the Administrative State? Part 2: The Problem of the Administrative State Part 3: The Alternative—Constitutional Government Part 4: What Can Be Done? Conclusion Abstract: The administrative state is an assault on constitutional principles—government by consent, the separation of powers, and the rights of individuals—that liberals and conservatives hold dear. The key to reform is that it be grounded in a proper understanding of these principles, not in the hope of immediate short-term gain or narrow self-interest. If we begin from constitutional principles and can communicate those principles and their relevance to the public in a clear manner, the reforms envisioned in this report are not too far from our grasp. It is high time that Americans work together to forge an alternative to the administrative state so that we preserve our constitutional principles for future generations. Over the past 100 years, our government has been transformed from a limited, constitutional, federal republic to a centralized administrative state that for the most part exists outside the structure of the Constitution and wields nearly unlimited power. This administrative state has been constructed as a result of a massive expansion of the national government’s power. When the Founders created our Constitution, they entrusted only limited powers to the national government and specifically enumerated those powers in the Constitution itself. A government that only had to carry out a limited number of functions could do so through the institutions and procedures established by the Constitution."

Administrative Law and Procedure (redirected from Judicial Review of Agency Actions)Administrative Law and Procedure Administrative law is the body of law that allows for the creation of public regulatory agencies andcontains all of the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern them. It is created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations,orders, and decisions. Administrative procedure constitutes the methods and processes beforeadministrative agencies, as distinguished from judicial procedure, which applies to courts. The Administrative Procedure Act (5U. S. C. A. §§ 551–706 [Supp. 1993]) governs the practice andproceedings before federal administrative agencies. The procedural rules and regulations of mostfederal agencies are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The fundamental challenge of administrative law is in designing a system of checks that willminimize the risks of bureaucratic arbitrariness and overreaching, while preserving for the agenciesthe flexibility that they need in order to act effectively. Administrative law thus seeks to limit thepowers and actions of agencies and to fix their place in our scheme of government and law."

"text": "\"From Director of Central Intelligence to Director of National Intelligence National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 144Edited by Jeffrey T. Richelson Posted - December 17, 2004Updated - August 12, 2005 - New Documents on the Intelligence Czar President Bush with with Ambassador John Negroponte, on the day he was nominated to become the first Director of National Intelligence. ( White House photo)Washington, D. C.: Today, the National Security Archive posts an updated collection of reports, studies, commentaries, and other material concerning the issue of exactly how much authority should be vested with the nation's chief intelligence officer. The Archive's previous posting in December 2004 provided historical context for the congressional and public debate over intelligence reform proposals that included establishing an intelligence czar. In February 2005 President Bush nominated John D. Negroponte, the U. S. Ambassador to Iraq, to become the first Director of National Intelligence (DNI) -- a position established when the president signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorist Prevention Act of 2004 on December 17, 2004. Since then, Negroponte's authority over the Intelligence Community has taken a number of concrete forms -- including the assumption of responsibility for producing the President's Daily Brief, the plan to replace the CIA's Weapons Intelligence, Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Center (WINPAC) with a Non-Proliferation Center reporting to the DNI, and the establishment of new safeguards to ensure that National Intelligence Estimates are based on credible information. [ 1]The creation of the position of DNI ended the 57-year reign of the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) as the nation's chief intelligence officer. Throughout those 57 years, similar reorganization proposals were debated inside and outside the the intelligence community - a debate which elaborated on the pros and cons of such a change. The DNI is now the president's primary intelligence adviser, replacing the DCI in that role, and has greater authority over budgetary and personnel decisions across the entire 15-member U. S. intelligence community than that which was possessed by the DCI. Ever since the Central Intelligence Agency was established in July 1947 there has been controversy and conflict over the role of the DCI in managing agencies other than the CIA - both because existing intelligence agencies and their departments sought to protect their bureaucratic turf and because it was feared that increased authority for the DCI could result in a reduction in the responsiveness of military organizations to the requirements of the military."

Reacting to European monarchs who ran foreign and military policy—often disastrously—with few constraints imposed by their subjects, the founders of the American nation enshrined in the U. S. Constitution a vital role for Congress-the arm of the people—in foreign and national security policy. James Madison, writing in The Federalist, No. 51 , stated: “A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control of government.” But he also noted that experience showed that “auxiliary precautions,” that is, checks and balances within the government, were needed to guard against the founders’ greatest fear-the risky accumulation of power in one branch of government. In short, Madison wrote: “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.” [ 1]The checks and balances written into the Constitution-which go to the heart of the U. S. system of republican government-ensure that no branch of government can dominate U. S. foreign and defense policy. For example, the Senate must approve treaties with foreign nations and confirm the Secretary of State, other high level State Department officials, and ambassadors. Furthermore, the Constitution says that the Congress has the power to declare war, provide for the common defense, raise armies, maintain a navy and make all laws “necessary and proper” to execute those powers. Thus, the Congress has vital oversight responsibilities for Executive Branch agencies involved in foreign affairs and national security, including the CIA and the intelligence community."

The legislative branch (under Article I) primarily creates laws; the executive branch (under Article II) primarily enforces laws; and the judicial branch (under Article III) primarily interprets laws. While performing their major functions as described in the relevant article, the executive and legislative branches also create law. Additionally, there is a fourth source of law, administrative agencies. The following sections describe how each of these branches serves as a source of law. Table 1-1 shows where you can find the laws created by these branches of the federal government, as well as laws created by state and local governments.

Download-4 (2), 2011 European Journal of Economic and Political Studies The Role of the Military in Disaster Response in the U. S. Naim Kapucu1 Abstract: Several scholarly works have documented a heightened military involvement in responding to natural and man-made disasters. This is due to both the historical focus of the military on responding to domestic disasters and the recent impact of large-scale terrorist attacks on the U. S. territory. While retaining its primary role of safeguarding the country from external threats, the military has become one of the main partners of federal, state, and local agencies in disaster response operations, providing its available resources, logistical capacity, and operational services effectively used against both man-made and natural disasters. This article discusses the role of the military in responding to natural and man-made disasters and explores the historical involvement of military in disaster management. Keywords: Disaster Management, Crisis Management, Posse Comitatus Act, Natural Disasters, Man-made Disasters, Military’s Role in Crisis Management 1 University of Central Florida, [email protected] 7 Naim Kapucu Introduction Disaster and crisis management is a quintessential role of the state/public administration. The military is accepted as a disaster response agency that provides assistance and resources to civil communities in natural disasters, both in the US and abroad. Most of the time, military support is activated only in large-scale disasters since small-scale disasters can be handled with the capacity of local resources (Anderson 1970; Schrader 1993). Recent disasters in the US such as the BP Oil Spill, the 2011 Mississippi River Floods, the April 25-28 2011 Tornado Outbreak, and the 2011 Joplin Tornado all reflect the importance of the military’s response in disasters. Recent disasters across the globe including the Haiti Earthquake and the Pakistan Floods in 2011 also show that the US military is an important player in international disaster response within other countries which lack the capabilities to respond. This study focuses on the evolving role of the military within the US, using Hurricane Katrina as a case."

Application and scope of the Guidelines1.1.1. The Guidelines are designed to assist departmental and agency officials, statutory office holders and the staff of statutory authorities in their dealings with the parliament. The term ‘official’ is used throughout the Guidelines; it includes all persons employed by the Commonwealth who are undertaking duties within a Commonwealth department or agency (whether employed under the Public Service Act 1999 or other legislation) and those in government business enterprises, corporations and companies. It is recognised, however, that the role and nature of some statutory office holders and their staff will require the selective application of these Guidelines, depending on the individual office holder’s particular statutory functions and responsibilities (see section 2.9).1.1.2. Contractors and consultants to departments and agencies and other individuals who are invited to give evidence to a parliamentary committee will also find these Guidelines useful.1.1.3. While the Guidelines apply primarily to the preparation of submissions and the giving of oral evidence, parts 7 to 11 cover certain other matters related to the parliament. The Guidelines should also generally apply to submissions to and appearances before other public inquiries, such as royal commissions, and to the preparation and presentation of speeches by officials in their official capacity (for further information on the involvement of APS employees in public information initiatives, see APS Values and Code of Conduct in Practice: a guide to official conduct for APS employees and agency heads (section 1: Relationship with the Government and the Parliament), published by the Australian Public Service Commission.1.2.

"text": "Appropriations 101May 19, 2014 | Budget Process Note: We have updated this paper, please see our Updated Appropriations 101. What are appropriations? Appropriations are annual decisions made by Congress about how the federal government spends some of its money. In general, the appropriations process addresses the discretionary portion of the budget – spending ranging from national defense to food safety to education to federal employee salaries, but excludes mandatory spending, such as Medicare and Social Security, which is spent automatically according to formulas. How does Congress determine the total level of appropriations? Under current law, after the President submits the Administration’s budget proposal to Congress, the House and Senate Budget Committees are each directed to report a budget resolution, which if passed by their respective houses, would then be reconciled in a budget conference (see Q&A: Everything You Need to Know About a Budget Conference ). The resulting budget resolution, which is a concurrent resolution and therefore not signed by the President, includes what is known as a 302 (a) allocation that sets a total amount of money for the Appropriations Committees to spend. If a concurrent budget resolution does not pass both chambers, each house then may adopt legislation “deeming” 302 (a) allocations – a practice which has become increasingly common in recent years. For example, the recent Bipartisan Budget Act directed the Budget Committee Chairs in the House and Senate to set the 302 (a) limit for FY2015 at $1.014 trillion. In addition, discretionary spending is currently subject to statutory spending caps."

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."

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

You can also invest a portion of your HSA savings in a variety of investment options. Like Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), participants use pre-tax funds deposited into an account to pay for out-of-pocket, eligible healthcare expenses. Unspent money is portable and rolls over into the next year to cover expenses or to continue earning interest tax free. HSAs also differ in that you can take your money with you if you switch employers, or even if you change health insurers. How does it work? HSA contributions are deposited in an FDIC-insured special interest-earning account, which you can draw from at any time.

Originally published: November 18, 2013KEY TAKEAWAYSPeople increasingly view health savings accounts (HSAs) as supplemental retirement plans, thanks to the tax benefits they offer. If you invest your HSA funds wisely, and spend them only on qualified medical expenses, these accounts are a great way to squirrel away a bit more for retirement. Heard about the new way to boost your retirement savings? In addition to contributing to your IRA or 401k, you can sneak in additional savings by contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA). While it’s true that these accounts do offer tax advantages—and you can even build up your savings to spend in retirement—HSAs don’t operate the way traditional retirement plans do. To really leverage the benefits of these accounts, it’s best to max out your 401k and IRA first, and use an HSA as it was intended, i.e. for medical expenses. Here’s why. The HSA loophole HSAs aren’t technically retirement plans, but they are trusteed like Individual Retirement Accounts under IRS rules, says Paul Fronstin, director of health research at the Employee Benefits Research Institute."

An HSA gives you a triple tax break: Your contributions are sheltered from income taxes, the money grows tax-deferred, and the funds can be withdrawn tax-free for medical expenses. It’s like a supercharged flexible spending account that never expires, and it can even serve as an extra retirement-savings fund.

As I mentioned in last Sunday's column, California has not conformed to the federal tax law that created the accounts. That means they provide fewer tax benefits and more record-keeping headaches for Californians than for residents of states that automatically conform to federal tax legislation. Assemblyman Abel Maldonado, R-Santa Maria (Santa Barbara County), introduced a bill this year that would have given the accounts the same tax breaks at the state level that they get at the federal level, starting Jan. 1, 2006. The bill went nowhere. LATEST BUSINESS VIDEOSFlash plugin failed to load Julie King, an aide to Maldonado, says the assemblyman plans to introduce the bill again next year.

Posted on November 13, 2012 Written by Harry Campbell 16 Comments Here’s my original HSA article from last year: Health Savings Accounts Explained. Ok it’s annual enrollment time again for those of us in traditional workplaces and I’m here to tell you exactly how much a HSA can benefit you. Most large companies are starting to offer HSA’s to their employees for one main reason: it saves them a ton of money. Although employees generally pay a premium per paycheck for their healthcare, there is also a larger portion paid by your employer. To find out the exact portion, you’ll need to review your total compensation packet that should be available through your company, but I bet the results will surprise you. Since HSA’s are paired with HDHP’s (High Deductible Health Plan) they have much lower monthly premiums. At my workplace, the employee pays just 20% of the $300+ monthly premium for the basic healthcare plan (non-HSA). So it’s in the best interest of the company to get as many employees on HSA/HDHP combo plans as possible. Generally, they offer a monetary incentive to switch in order to accomplish this."

"text": "\"A Health Savings Account (HSA) is like a personal savings account, but the money is used only for qualified health care expenses. The account can be set up with you as the sole beneficiary, or for you plus your spouse and/or dependents. Established in 2003 as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act, HSAs allow people with High-Deductible Health Plans to pay for current healthcare expenses and save for future expenses on a tax-favored basis. Here, we look at the eligibility requirements, pros and cons and other important details about Health Savings Plans. Eligibility To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a special health insurance plan called a High-Deductible Health Plan, or HDHP. While these plans have high deductibles, monthly premiums are typically much less than for plans with lower deductibles, which makes them appealing to people trying to minimize up-front costs associated with healthcare. HDHPs are intended to cover serious illness or injury, and with the exception of preventive care (such as annual physicals, child and adult immunizations, and screening services), your annual deductible must be met before any plan benefits are paid. According to federal guidelines, you can open and contribute to an HSA if you are: Covered under a HDHP on the first day of the month Not covered by any other non-HDHP plan (with some exceptions for certain plans with limited coverage, such as dental, vision and disability)Not enrolled in Medicare Not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return The IRS establishes guidelines (adjusted for inflation) for HSAs and HDHPs each year, based on individual and family coverage. For 2014, all HDHPs must have a minimum deductible of $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for families. The out-of-pocket maximum (including deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance, but not premiums) cannot exceed $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families. ("

If you file taxes as a family, it is $6,900. You can make contributions until April 15 for the previous year. Filers over age 55 can add an additional $1,000 toward the annual contribution. In previous years, contribution limits were as follows: Year Single Contribution Limit Family Contribution Limit Over 55 Catch-up Limit2012 $3,100 $6,250 $1,0002013 $3,250 $6,450 $1,0002014 $3,300 $6,550 $1,0002015 $3,350 $6,650 $1,0002016 $3,350 $6,750 $1,0002017 $3,400 $6,750 $1,0002018 $3,450 $6,900 $1,000What are the catch-up contribution rules? The catch-up provision for people over age 55 is $1,000. This means if you are aged 55 or over, you can add an additional $1,000 toward the annual contribution. This means for 2018 you can contribute up to $4,450 for a single filer and $7,900 for a family if you are 55 or older, with only one HSA. In the case where both spouses open an HSA, and are both over 55, the annual family maximum contribution could reach $8,900."

How Health Savings Accounts Work A Health Savings Account is a tax-favored savings account combined with a qualifying HSA insurance plan, or an HSA-qualified healthshare (currently only offered by Sedera). By allowing you to deposit tax-deductible funds into a savings account that you can use to cover medical costs, Health Savings Accounts enable you to take control of your own health care decisions. First you must have a high-deductible health insurance plan that qualifies to be partnered with an HSA. These plans are available through various insurance companies, depending in what part of the country you live. HSA plans have annual deductibles that are at least $1,350 for individual coverage or at least $2,700 for family coverage. Annual out-of-pocket expenses (including deductibles and copayments, but not premiums) are capped at $6,650 for individuals or $13,300 for families. All HSA plans and some non-HSA plans have an aggregate deductible rather than an embedded deductible. With an aggregate deductible, one or all family members contribute and work towards meeting a single deductible."

"text": "Follow these steps to report money that went into -- and came out of -- a health savings account. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor March 18, 2014Last year was my first with a high-deductible health plan combined with a health savings account at work. What do I need to report concerning the HSA when I file my taxes? SEE ALSO: Is It Tax Deductible? When you file, you’ll need to include Form 8889 to report all contributions and withdrawals associated with your HSA in 2013. The form has a line for reporting your direct contributions to your HSA, and you’ll carry that deduction to line 25 of your Form 1040. The form also has a line to report employer contributions, which you’ll fill in if you made pretax contributions via payroll deduction or if your company contributed to your account. This can be confusing, notes Roy Ramthun, founder of HSA Consulting Services, because the IRS considers both of these to be employer pay-ins. You’ll find the correct amount on your W-2 form (box 12, code W). You should also have received a Form 1099-SA from your HSA administrator reporting withdrawals from the account."

"text": "Using an HSA: Tax Deduction Now, Tax-Free Money Later for Medical Expenses Micah Shilanski, CFP® December 18, 2012 Pay & Benefits Comments (17)HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) are special accounts designed to give you a tax deduction for qualified medical expenses. If you qualify for an HSA, you decide how much money you want to contribute (up to a the limit) – and you decide when you use the money. If done correctly, you get a tax deduction for the money you put in now – and if you take the money out for qualified medical expenses, the money comes out tax-free. Many people who use HSAs take money out now for their current medical expenses. And this can still be beneficial to your taxes. But why not go the extra mile? It’s pretty safe to say that at some point in retirement – you’ll have to pay for medical expenses out of pocket. Why not save for it and get the tax advantage? So if you’re in good financial shape, consider funding your HSA each year you can to get the tax deduction. Then in the years leading up to retirement, when you do have medical expenses, pay for those out of pocket and leave your HSA to grow."

"text": "Health Savings Accounts: What They Are and How They Impact Your Retirement There’s no denying the impact healthcare can have on your finances. Luckily there’s a savings account to help with such expenses: a Health Savings Account (HSA). Key Takeaways HSAs could create a financial buffer for potential healthcare expenses. Contributions to HSAs are tax deductible, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax free. The 2018 limit for individual coverage is 3,450 and $6,900 for family plans, with catch-up contributions of an additional $1,000 at age 55. If you’re concerned about your net worth being compromised by medical expenses, an HSA is one way to create a financial buffer so you can preserve as much of your wealth as possible. It even helps when saving for retirement. What is a Health Savings Account? An HSA is a type of tax-advantaged savings account designed specifically for healthcare-related expenses. You can make contributions to your HSA tax free and withdraw tax free as well if it’s for qualified medical expenses (more on those later)."

"text": "\"Health Savings Account Rules A Health Savings Account or HSA is tax advantaged medical savings account that is owned by the individual (this means they are portable). They are designed to be used in conjunction with a High Deductible Health Insurance Plan, which means the money you save on lower insurance premiums can fund your HSA. The money contributed to the account is not subject to federal tax at the time of deposit, so it's pre-tax dollars for employees or tax deductible if you are self employed. The funds in a Health Savings Account can be used to pay all eligible medical related expenses that are not covered by your Health Insurance Plan. Health S avings Account (HSA) Contribution Limits Initially, Health Savings Account contributions were limited to the lesser of the actual deductible or specified IRS limits. Congress later eliminated the deductible based limit and set guidelines to limit maximum contributions. These contribution limits are according to IRS Publication 969, \"\"Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans\"\". You can make HSA contributions for any calendar year until April 15 of the following calendar year, (or the date your personal taxes are due), the same as IRA contributions. 2014 HSA Contribution Limits Rise Slightly From 2013. Increases in the contribution limits are based on inflation and due to the fact that overall inflation measured by the CPI was subdued there was a small inflation adjustment."

Miller Last updated: March 18, 2018 4 Comments The IRS recently published an inflation adjustment increase to the maximum HSA contribution for 2018, and there will be in increase over the maximum HSA contribution for 2017. More specifically, both the individual and family contribution maximums will increase from 2017 to 2018, which is great news for savers. If you’ve been following along, you know that I have been a big fan of health savings accounts (HSA’s) over the last few years and fully max them out. Why? HSA’s are like IRA’s on steroids (tax-free steroids at that). They offer users pre-tax contributions, tax-free investment gains, and tax-free distributions to pay for eligible health care expenses. With HSA’s, you own the account. It goes with you and can be used regardless of future employment status or health plan. This is not the case with FSA’s, which are tied to your employer. All benefits aside, your ability to annually contribute to an HSA is determined by whether or not you are enrolled in a high deductible health plan (HDHP), as they are defined by the IRS."

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. ["

The bonobo is found in a 500,000 km 2 (190,000 sq mi) area of the Congo Basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central Africa. The species is omnivorous and inhabits primary and secondary forests, including seasonally inundated swamp forests."

But there are chances of change in the average lifespan of gorillas which can live 35-40 years in the wild but it can live longer in captive i-e 40-50 years. These species of animals are becoming extinct day by day because of several human factors. Their native forest are vanishing gradually because of human activities. For this reason the lifespan of these animals are slowly decreasing. All of these types of apes belong to Phylum Chordata and Class Mammalia. These animals are found in different parts of the world. Chimpanzees are the most closest animals to humans. Chimpanzees have 94% identical DNA to humans and they are mostly found in African countries of DR Congo etc. They are very intelligent apes."

"text": "\"Human Uniqueness Compared to \"\"Great Apes\"\": Absolute Difference Human Universality: Individual Universal (All Individuals Everywhere)MOCA Domain: Anatomy and Biomechanics MOCA Topic Authors: Melanie Beasley Fontanelles are membranous areas that have not yet ossified in the developing cranial vault of neonatal and juvenile animals. Fontanelles allow for rapid stretching and deformation of the cranium as the brain expands faster than the surrounding bone can grow. Cranial sutures are fibrous joints (synarthroses) between the bones of the vault or face. Both fontanelles and sutures are important for cranial vault growth (and accordingly, brain growth), as once they fully ossify no further expansion of the braincase is possible. Immature humans and apes have six primary fontanelles – two along the midline of the top of the vault (the anterior or bregmatic and the posterior or lambdoid fontanelles) and two on each side of the lateral vault (right and left sphenoidal or anterolateral fontanelles and right and left mastoid or posterolateral fontanelles). The two midline fontanelles both participate in anteroposterior and medioateral brain growth. The fontanelles on the lateral vault permit superoinferior brain growth. Two additional fontanelles (metopic fontanelle and sagittal or third fontanelle) can also be present in humans. In monkeys the fontanelles are nearly or completely closed at the time of birth, in apes the fontanelles are small but still present at birth, whereas in humans the fontanelles are large in newborns. In humans, the sequence of fontanelle closure is as follows: 1) posterior fontanelle generally closes 2-3 months after birth, 2) sphenoidal fontanelle is the next to close around 6 months after birth, 3) mastoid fontanelle closes next from 6-18 months after birth, and 4) the anterior fontanelle is generally the last to close between 1-3 years of age (in one recent human sample, the anterior fontanelle was closed in most individuals by 31 months postnatally, in another sample most individuals older than 17 months exhibited closure of this fontanelle)."

"text": "\"Human Uniqueness Compared to \"\"Great Apes\"\": Absolute Difference Human Universality: Individual Universal (All Individuals Everywhere)MOCA Domain: Anatomy and Biomechanics MOCA Topic Authors: Melanie Beasley The foramen magnum (from the Latin, meaning “great hole”) is the large opening in the base of the skull through which the spinal cord exits the cranial vault. The foramen magnum is situated in the occipital bone, and forms around the base of the brainstem (the medulla oblongata), separating the brain above from the spinal cord below. The foramen magnum in apes and humans is formed by the fusion of the four individual parts of the occipital (pars squama, left and right pars lateralis, and pars basilaris). In humans the foramen magnum is anteriorly positioned, with its anterior portion lying on the bitympanic line (a line that connects the inferolateral points of the right and left tympanic plates), and is inferiorly oriented (opening directly downward). The portion of the occipital bone that lies anterior to the foramen magnum (the basioccipital or basiocciput) is relatively short in humans. In apes the foramen magnum lies well behind (posterior) of the bitympanic line, posterior of a relatively long basioccipital. In addition to being more posteriorly positioned, the foramen magnum in apes is more vertically oriented (opening backwards and downwards, rather than directly downwards). Pongo have the most anteriorly situated foramen magnum of the apes, but the most vertically oriented. During growth of the occipital bone, human have proportionately less anteroposterior growth in the basioccipital than in the pars lateralis and pars squama posterior to the foramen magnum, whereas the pattern of growth is reversed in non-human primates with proportionately more growth in the basiocciptal. Human/ape differences in the position and orientation of the foramen magnum reflect differences in habitual body posture and mode of locomotion."

Set 10 years after Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the \"\"Simian Flu\"\" that broke out at the end of that film has left just one in 500 humans alive. Conflicts over food and other resources have further depleted the population. Indeed, humanity is so scarce that, as the film opens, ape-king Caesar (Andy Serkis, in a motion-captured performance) has not seen a homo sapiens for two years. Caesar and his tribe of intelligent apes have made a home in the redwood forests outside San Francisco. They are learning to read and write, and have come up with some rudimentary (and familiar, to fans of the original series) rules: \"\"Ape not kill ape\"\" is right at the top. They live in Swiss Family Robinson-style tree houses, are learning to talk, and seem to be getting along quite nicely. We also see them hunt. And in this early, bravura sequence—featuring dozens of apes swinging from trees, taking down deer and a ticked-off bear—we are shown how dangerous a group of intelligent apes can be. Strong, quick, and deeply protective of one another, these are not creatures to be trifled with."

But the fact is that primates as a whole--a category of megafauna mammals that includes not only humans and hominids, but monkeys, apes, lemurs, baboons and tarsiers--have a deep evolutionary history that stretches as far back as the age of dinosaurs. ( See a gallery of prehistoric primate pictures and profiles . ) The first mammal that paleontologists have identified as possessing primate-like characteristics was Purgatorius, a tiny, mouse-sized creature of the late Cretaceous period (just before the K/T Impact Event that rendered the dinosaurs extinct). Although it looked more like a tree shrew than a monkey or ape, Purgatorius had a very primate-like set of teeth, and it (or a close relative) may have spawned the more familiar primates of the Cenozoic Era. ( Genetic sequencing studies suggest that the earliest primate ancestor may have lived a whopping 20 million years before Purgatorius, but as yet there's no fossil evidence for this mysterious beast. ) Recently, scientists have touted the equally mouse-like Archicebus, which lived 10 million years after Purgatorius, as the first true primate, and the anatomic evidence in support of this hypothesis is even stronger. What's confusing about this is that the Asian Archicebus seems to have lived around the same time as the North American and Eurasian Plesiadapis, a much bigger, two-foot-long, tree-dwelling, lemur-like primate with a rodent-like head. The teeth of Plesiadapis displayed the early adaptations necessary for an omnivorous diet--a key trait that allowed its descendants tens of millions of years down the line to diversify away from trees and toward the open grasslands. Primate Evolution During the Eocene Epoch During the Eocene epoch--from about 55 million to 35 million years ago--small, lemur-like primates haunted woodlands the world over, though the fossil evidence is frustratingly sparse."

"text": "Form and function of intervertebral disc Article Metrics Related Content Cite this page No Comments Introduction The human intervertebral disc is an amazing structure that while at first appearance seems simple and static is actually quite the opposite. Each disc articulates with a vertebral body above and below it and provides three crucial services to the spinal column: 1) To support the axial load on the column as it is delivered by body mass and gravity 2) to assist in range of motion at the spine and 3) to serve ligamental functions between vertebral bodies. Anatomy and Physiology The intervertebral disc is the largest avascular structure in the body. Performing its services as a lively, dynamic structure without a dedicated blood supply requires an efficient combination of form and function. It consists of three entities: the annulus pulposus (AP), nucleus pulposus (NP) and the vertebral end-plate (VEP). The AP surrounds the NP and forms the majority of the disc. These two parts are different in composition. The AP is a fibrous structure composed of mostly collagen. It also contains some proteoglycan and elastins (most of which reside near the VEP). This collagen is arranged very specifically into approximately 20 concentric bands called lamellae."

We're most similar to other plant-eaters, and drastically different from carnivores and true omnivores. 1,2,3Those who insist that humans are omnivores, especially if their argument is based on canine teeth, would do well to look at what the evidence actually shows. We'll cover that below. I first wrote this article many years ago, but since then Milton Mills, M.

The only way to come to another conclusion is to ignore the bulk of the anatomical evidence. ( Critics of this article either use inferior evidence, such as disputed assumptions about the prehistoric diet, or they cherry-pick the anatomical evidence while ignoring the bulk of it. ) Plant-eaters eat small amounts of non-plant foods, usually insects (either intentionally or inadvertently)."

Dinosaurs belonging to the suborder Theropoda were primarily carnivorous, although a number of theropod groups evolved herbivory, omnivory, and insectivory. Theropods first appeared during the Carnian age of the late Triassic period about 230 million years ago (Ma) and included the sole large terrestrial carnivores from the Early Jurassic until at least the close of the Cretaceous, about 66.038 Ma. In the Jurassic, birds evolved from small specialized coelurosaurian theropods, and are today represented by 9,900 living species.

Since its discovery, however, a number of other giant carnivorous dinosaurs have been described, including Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Giganotosaurus. The original Spinosaurus specimens (as well as newer fossils described in 2006) support the idea that Spinosaurus is larger than Tyrannosaurus, showing that Spinosaurus could possibly reach legnth of up to 57 feet, compared to the largest Tyrannosaurus specimen which reached 40 feet. The smallest non-avian full adult specimen is the Anchiornis, which weighed only 3.38 ounces, and was less than 1 foot long.

While no animal produces the digestive enzymes to break down the large cellulose molecules in the plant cell walls, micro-organisms' like bacteria, on the other hand, can break them down. Therefore herbivores employ micro-organisms to do the job for them. There are two types of herbivore: The first, ruminants like cattle, sheep and goats, house these bacteria in a special compartment in the enlarged stomach called the rumen.

Even humans, when we jump (or fall) into the ocean, enter the food chain. Kind of spooky when you think about it. The critters in the ocean generally fall into one of three categories: Herbivores (plant eating), carnivores (meat eating) or omnivores (consume both meat and plants). The differences between a herbivore's and a carnivore's digestive system are quite remarkable. A herbivore's digestive tract is quite a bit longer than a carnivore's for one simple reason: It takes more time for a herbivore to break down vegetable matter fiber that contains cellulose."

"text": "\"Basic Anatomy Shows Humans are Herbivores, Not Carnivores!One quick look into the body of a true carnivore will show you that humans are herbivores and have adapted to be omnivores, but we're not built to successfully eat animal flesh. We do take advantage of our dominion over them to catch them by any means we can, but we are not anatomically built to eat animals. One of the least educated arguments I've heard against veganism is the, \"\"humans were made to eat animals\"\" theory. People tell me this quite seriously and I think they truly believe that our bodies are designed to devour other animals. True carnivores are built with specialized body parts to help them kill, rip apart, and digest other animals. One of the easiest ways to demonstrate this concept is through pictures- take a look at our body parts and compare them to the parts of carnivores like sharks, lions, tigers, falcons, hawks, eagles, crocodiles, wolves, foxes, and polar bears. Are they closer to the parts on herbivores like horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cows, zebras, elephants, rhinoceroses, deer, and rabbits?1. Carnivores Have Claws and Talons Carnivorous animals often use their limbs to assist with catching and killing of prey and thus have sharp claws, talons, or nails made to latch onto another animal, hold them down, and rip them apart. Omnivores and herbivores have flat feet with blunt fingernails to protect their fingers from objects bumping or poking them. Sound familiar?"

"text": "\"Home »Nature What Type of Animals Eat Plants? By Pete Campbell; Updated April 25, 2017In the animal kingdom, there are two major types that consume plants as a regular part of their diet: herbivores and omnivores. The major difference between the two is that while herbivores subsist on a diet made up exclusively of plants, omnivores consume a much more varied diet, and usually eat both plants and animals regularly. Omnivores are not to be confused with carnivores, which, like herbivores, survive on just one major type of food. Carnivores live primarily on a diet exclusively of meat. Herbivores When someone thinks of plant-eating animals, they likely think of an herbivore. They eat nothing but plants, and that can include grasses, trees, fruits, and even algae, a bacteria that obtains its energy via photosynthesis as plants do. Herbivores exist everywhere animals are present, and common types include cows, horses, giraffes and iguanas. Omnivores Living on a more varied diet, omnivores rely on plants as a steady means of energy, but also consume meat on a regular basis. While there have been cases of herbivores eating meat and carnivores eating plants in drastic circumstances, omnivores are classified as such because they regularly rely on both food types as part of a standard diet, as opposed to only in special circumstances."

I've heard all my life that humans are omnivores, but I have been looking at quite a few places online and now I am not so sure. Are humans best suited to eat meat or are we best suited to be herbivores?2 following 24 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: From my own analysis of the anatomical data of humans, in comparison to that of the general anatomical similarities of herbivores and those of omnivores, it is quite easy to tell that we as humans share many more anatomical similarities than we do with omnivores. This means that humans are much more similar to herbivores than we are to omnivores. The problem with most people's conclusion that humans are omnivores is that they don't take into account the factors of culture, custom and training. They see that humans eat meat, and believe that they are by nature omnivores because of this. If they take into account culture and customs, and instead look at the human body to find out what sort of diet our bodies are best suited for, you find a much different conclusion than that of a majority of people. Just a few examples for you of similarities between humans and herbivores: 1. The length of our digestive tract. omnivores have usually 4-6x their body length, where as humans and omnivores in general have a digestive track length close to 10-12x their body length."

Different Types of Animals To understand why there are different types of animal teeth but only one kind for humans, you must first know a little about the main four types of animals. Mammals A mammal is a warm-blooded animal. They are called vertebrates (backboned animals), have skin and hair covering their bodies, and they feed their young on mother’s milk after live birth. Humans are in this classification, and so are many other fascinating creatures around the world. In fact, when the majority of people hear the word “animal” they immediately think of an animal that is a mammal. Birds Birds are also warm-blooded, but their bodies are covered in feathers instead of fur. Birds lay eggs from which their young hatch out of after a period of time. Birds have beaks and also have wings, and most – but not all – can fly."

The American Dietetic Association notes that “most of mankind for most of human history has lived on vegetarian or near-vegetarian diets. ”And much of the world still lives that way. Even on most industrialized countries, the love affair with meat is less than a hundred years old. It started with the refrigerator car and the twentieth-century consumer society.

North America has a rich dinosaur fossil record with great diversity of dinosaurs. The earliest record of dinosaurs in North America comes from rare, unidentified (possibly theropod) footprints and teeth in the Middle-Late Triassic Pekin Formation of North Carolina. [ 1] Later in the Triassic period, dinosaurs left more recognizable remains, and could thus be identified as specific genera. Examples of later Triassic North American dinosaur genera include Coelophysis, Chindesaurus, Gojirasaurus, and Tawa. Fossils of Tawa have also been found in South America, which has important indications about paleogeography. During the Early Jurassic Period, dinosaurs such as Dilophosaurus, Anchisaurus, Megapnosaurus (formerly known as Syntarsus ), and the early thyreophoran Scutellosaurus lived in North America. The latter is believed to have been the ancestor of all stegosaurs and ankylosaurs. The Middle Jurassic is the only poorly represented time period in North America, although several Middle Jurassic localities are known from Mexico. Footprints, eggshells, teeth, and fragments of bone representing theropods, sauropods, and ornithopods have been found, but none of them are diagnostic to the genus level."

Why does even the simplest discomfort get a scientific name? But in all seriousness, what exactly happens to the body when one experiences a brain freeze? Diagnosis: Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia Symptoms: Head pain, sharp freezing sensation, toothaches Causes: Consumption of ice cream, popsicles and other icy treats Treatment: Drink warm fluids or wait (self-limiting)Prevention: Eat cold foods at a slower pace!There are two possible explanations behind pain and its association with a quick, big gulp of slushies, slurpees or Italian ice.1) Blood vessel phenomenon: It is known that blood vessels constrict when the body experiences cold temperature and dilates when in hot temperature. This simple fact can be applied to the biological cause of brain freeze. Upon contact with ice, the blood vessels in the roof of the mouth begin to constrict, making the vessels in the head to expand, and thus creating a headache.2) Trigeminal nerve factor: The trigeminal nerve is primarily responsible for the sensation of the face, also known as the fifth cranial nerve (CN-V).

Some foods also have a specific therapeutic action. A food may either tonify a particular bodily substance or function (yin, yang, qi, blood) or it may reduce the influence of a pathological condition (qi stagnation, blood stasis, dampness, heat or cold). Almonds, for example, counteract phlegm, walnuts tonify yang. When we combine the channel route with the therapeutic action of foods we get a specific description of its therapeutic effect. Using the above examples we find that almonds remove phlegm from the Lung and walnuts tonify the Kidney yang.

Recoiled when not in use, the proboscis extends as a straw through which the moth can suck nectar from deep within tube-shaped flowers. Analyzing the hawk moth’s proboscis gives clues about what it does and how it functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism.

The clinical manifestations of this group of diseases, called autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), depend greatly upon the type of antibody that is produced by the abnormal immune reaction. This topic will review the mechanisms underlying AIHA due to cold agglutinins [ 1 ]. The clinical features and treatment of this disorder and issues related to another form of cold-related hemolysis, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, are discussed separately. ( See \"\"Cold agglutinin disease\"\" and \"\"Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria\"\" . ) NATURE OF THE AUTOANTIBODIESIn general, antibodies of two major types, each with specific characteristics, are produced in AIHA:● Ig M antibodies that generally react with polysaccharide antigens on the RBC surface only at temperatures below that of the core temperature of the body. They are therefore called \"\" cold agglutinins.\"\" Rarely, Ig G antibodies have these reaction characteristics, occurring either alone or with Ig M antibodies [ 2 ]. ● Ig G antibodies that generally react with protein antigens on the RBC surface at body temperature. For this reason, they are called \"\" warm agglutinins\"\" even though they seldom directly agglutinate the RBCs."

The most severe cold injury is frostbite, which is true tissue freezing (ice crystals form in the skin and other tissues of the body). Frostbite causes permanent damage to blood vessels and other structures. Frostnip is also ice crystal formation in tissues but only in the very outer layer of the skin. It causes no permanent damage. Immersion injury results from exposure of wet feet (or hands) to cold temperatures at or above freezing. It develops over hours to days and damages the nerves and muscles. Like frostbite, immersion injury causes permanent damage. Other conditions of cold hands or feet are pernio, Raynaud's phenomenon, cryoglobulin formation, and cold urticaria.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Fitness Exercise What is peripheral vasoconstriction and how does it affect your body temperature? Flag What is peripheral vasoconstriction and how does it affect your body temperature? Answer by Diberri Confidence votes 4.1KVasoconstriction (from \"\"vaso-\"\" meaning vessel) is constriction of the blood vessels. The opposite of vasoconstriction is vasodilatation, which is the relaxation of blood vessels. Vasoconstriction causes the radius of blood vessels to decrease, while vasodilatation increases radius. Blood flow through a vessel can be modeled as the flow of fluid through a pipe. Fluid flow through a pipe is directly proportional to the fourth power of pipe radius. As radius decreases, blood flow decreases, and vice versa. So vasoconstriction and vasodilatation can be used to regulate flow through a blood vessel. Peripheral blood vessels are usually considered those not in the core of the body and not those that supply skeletal muscles."

Skuas, petrels, Adelie penguins, and many other types of seabirds breed and raise their young in the polar regions during the summer months. Yet other species, such as the emperor penguin, the snowy owl, and the willow ptarmigan, remain in the polar regions throughout the year. A skua is a migrating bird.

"text": "A cold blooded animal, or ectotherm, is one that does not have an internal mechanism for regulating its body temperature. Instead, a cold blooded animal relies on solar energy captured by the environment. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are examples of cold blooded animals. Reptiles Reptiles will often sun themselves on rocks to absorb heat. The heat raises the metabolism of the reptiles, which results in an active period. If the weather is too warm, a reptile might bury itself in sand or seek shade in a hollow or some other cool shelter. In this way, the cold blooded animal's behavioral instincts keep its body temperature within the proper range. As ambient temperature drops, the animal's metabolism slows to conserve energy. Fish and Amphibians Relative to their environments, amphibians and fish have similar behaviors. A frog that gets too warm on the muddy banks of a river will either bury itself in the soft earth or seek a cooler spot in the water."

"text": "\"Answer by Kändiß Zimbelmann Confidence votes 14There are a few actions your body takes to keep itself warm when it's cold. First your body shivers. this vibrating produces heat. If the cold persists and becomes extreme enough, your body moves the blood to the center of your body to keep your vital organs warm. Your capillaries constrict to allow less blood flow and less heat loss. That's why your fingers and nose get cold. The small muscles around each body hair constrict and raise the hairs, attempting to trap more warm air in what little \"\"fur\"\" humans have. See below for information on how warm-blooded animals maintain a temperature warmer than the environment. I notice most people seem perplexed about this. The cop-out answer is usually \"\"we're endothermic\"\" or \"\"we're warm blooded\"\", or Thermoregulation!!"

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

Hemolysis presents as acute or chronic anemia, reticulocytosis, or jaundice. The diagnosis is established by reticulocytosis, increased unconjugated bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase, decreased haptoglobin, and peripheral blood smear findings. Premature destruction of erythrocytes occurs intravascularly or extravascularly. The etiologies of hemolysis often are categorized as acquired or hereditary. Common acquired causes of hemolytic anemia are autoimmunity, microangiopathy, and infection. Immune-mediated hemolysis, caused by antierythrocyte antibodies, can be secondary to malignancies, autoimmune disorders, drugs, and transfusion reactions. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia occurs when the red cell membrane is damaged in circulation, leading to intravascular hemolysis and the appearance of schistocytes."

The lifetime of the RBCs is reduced from the normal 100–120 days to just a few days in serious cases. [ 1] [2] The intracellular components of the RBCs are released into the circulating blood and into tissues, leading to some of the characteristic symptoms of this condition. The antibodies are usually directed against high-incidence antigens, therefore they also commonly act on allogenic RBCs (RBCs originating from outside the person themselves, e.g. in the case of a blood transfusion). [ 3] AIHA is a relatively rare condition, affecting one to three people per 100,000 per year. [ 4]The terminology used in this disease is somewhat ambiguous. Although Me SH uses the term \"\"autoimmune hemolytic anemia\"\", [5] some sources prefer the term \"\"immunohemolytic anemia\"\" so drug reactions can be included in this category. [ 6] [7] The National Cancer Institute considers \"\"immunohemolytic anemia\"\", \"\"autoimmune hemolytic anemia\"\", and \"\"immune complex hemolytic anemia\"\" to all be synonyms.

Hulled tahini does not grind the whole sesame seed and because of this it does not contain as much calcium, protein and vitamins as unhulled. Unhulled tahini is made from the whole sesame seed and it the most nutritionally packed type of tahini. Hulled tahini is not as bitter tasting as the unhulled type.

It's easy to get enough protein without eating animals, but the doubters often have another concern: Are these meat-free protein sources complete? The term \"\"complete protein\"\" refers to amino acids, the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids that can form a protein, and nine that the body can't produce on its own. These are called essential amino acids—we need to eat them because we can't make them ourselves. In order to be considered \"\"complete,\"\" a protein must contain all nine of these essential amino acids. Yes, meat and eggs are complete proteins, and beans and nuts aren't. But humans don't need every essential amino acid in every bite of food in every meal they eat; we only need a sufficient amount of each amino acid every day."

"text": "There’s no denying that our culture is obsessed with eating protein. So it should come as no surprise that vegans and vegetarians are constantly questioned about going meat-free—despite the fact that neither diet by definition is lacking in the muscle building nutrient. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, you know exactly what we’re talking about—and you’re tired of getting asked questions about the sources and quantity of your protein intake. Here’s what you need to know: Incomplete proteins—like whole grains, nuts and produce—can join together and produce a complete protein, packed with all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own, so as long as you consume various sources throughout the day, you’re all good! To help you stay healthy and strong, we’ve compiled a list of the best vegetarian proteins for weight loss below. Incorporating them into your diet will ward off symptoms of protein deficiency—like low blood sugar and weakness—and fuel that flat belly fire! And for even more protein-filled eats that fit into your diet, be sure to check out these 25 Best Carbs That Uncover Your Abs!1Chia Seeds Protein, per tablespoon: 2.5 grams Though chia seeds don’t contain that much protein, they do contain all nine essential amino acids.

But that’s not all: ALAs, the specific type of omega-3s found in chia seeds, can decrease the risk of heart disease, according to a Pennsylvania State University study. Eat This!"

Seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, cumin and black pepper, a healthy recipe for hummus is low in sodium and high in protein. Don’t let the fat content in hummus discourage you from snacking on this nutrient-rich food – the plant-based fats in chickpeas may help you control your cholesterol levels, according to the American Heart Association. Two tablespoons of hummus have 48 calories, 2 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbohydrate, 2 grams of fiber, 1 gram of monounsaturated fat and 106 milligrams of sodium.

A snack of hummus on toasted whole-wheat pita wedges provides protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates.

I am still waiting for an executive from Whole Foods to call me and thank me for the store’s success. Anyway, there are quite a few things which are exclusive to Whole Foods that I have been buying regularly over the course of many years and some things which are sometimes stocked at other supermarkets but are easily found at Whole Foods. Here is my list of things which I almost always buy every time I step foot into my local Whole Foods Market. This list excludes whole (uncut) fruits and vegetables which vary with each of my visits…1. Whole Foods’ Original Hummus This is undoubtedly my family’s favorite store-bought hummus. It would probably be healthier without the added oils, but not as delicious. I like to use this hummus in my collard green wraps mixed with salad and pre-cut veggies.2.

For some, however, that feeling can last for years. Burning mouth and tongue may be a little-known symptom of menopause, but if it affects you or someone you love, it's time to get all the facts. Read on to discover four things you need to know. Pin1It Affects More People Than You Think Though not often talked about, many suffer the symptoms of burning mouth and tongue at some point in their lives. The chance of experiencing burning tongue syndrome increases with age, and is seven times more prevalent in women than men. Around 5% of women reportedly experiencing this symptom, most of whom are menopausal. Many people experience burning in multiple areas, but the most common are the tip of the tongue, lips, palate, and lateral border of the tongue.2Causes Can Be Internal or External The most common cause of burning mouth and tongue is hormonal imbalance. Estrogen, which affects saliva production and taste buds responsible for bitter flavors, is needed to keep oral processes working properly. When levels of estrogen dip, this can cause an uncomfortable 'dry mouth' feeling."

It's important to recognize the symptoms of low blood sugar, so as to be able to administer glucose or sugar and prevent any complications. Causes of Low Blood Sugar in Dogs A low concentration of glucose in the blood may be caused by stress, low temperatures, poor nutrition or intestinal parasites that deprive the dog of the essential nutrients. Other less common causes include Addison's disease, tumors (especially those located on the pancreas), hormonal imbalances or fasting before strenuous activities. Juvenile hypoglycemia can occur in puppies less than 3 months of age, and some dog breeds are more affected.

Last reviewed Fri 28 October 2016By Foram Mehta Reviewed by Suzanne Falck, MD, FACPCauses When to see a doctor Diagnosis Treatment Home remedies Taste, one of the five senses, is a combination of various sensations that tell the brain how something tastes. Along with thousands of sensory organs called taste buds and taste papillae on the tongue, smell, texture, and temperature also play large roles in taste. Someone with a stuffy nose may not be able to enjoy their favorite meal because an important part in creating that taste is impaired. With the information the tongue sends to the brain, the brain sorts taste into five basic categories: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. It's a common mistake that taste buds only register certain tastes on certain regions of the tongue. Because there are many factors involved in the sense of taste, taste disorders can be a result of various different conditions or bodily imbalances. Metallic taste, or dysgeusia, can occur as the body responds to a foreign substance. It can also be a warning sign of other health problems.

( 1) Furthermore, it’s estimated that 17.8 million workdays are lost each year due to disabled TMJ pains and lost sleep!TMJ stands for the “temporomandibular joint.” Also sometimes called “lock jaw,” TMJ is a term given to a collective number of disorders that involve from problems with normal musculature and joint functions of the jaw. The temporomandibular joint is one of the most important structures of the jaw, made from hard and soft tissues that connect the lower jaw bone to the cranial bone in the skull. It allows for movement, chewing and other functions. The most common symptoms of TMJ include limitations and deviations in the jaw’s normal range of motion, pain and difficulty sleeping. Many people can find natural relief from TMJ when practicing exercises to help soothe the jaw, eating foods that lower inflammation, and using natural essential oils for both pain management and lowering stress. Common TMJ Symptoms TMJ is a ginglymoarthrodial joint, which means it’s capable of both rotational and translational movements. ( 2) Together, all parts of the jaw bones and joints facilitate with movements from side to side, up and down, grinding and hinging, helping with important everyday functions like speech and chewing food (mastication). Because the jaw has so many important roles and connects to many sensitive nerves, TMJ symptoms can really impair someone’s quality of life in come cases, cause a lot of pain and even contribute to orthodontic complications that are capable of producing long-term damage."

The science can be confusing and complex, especially to those with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and other autoimmune diseases, because these disorders can lead to brain fog, fatigue, and loss of cognitive function that make it hard to figure out what to do next. What people frequently fail to realize is that underlying all of these conditions is the most important foundation of all, and something you have the power to change right now — your diet. In this article, I’ll give you the dietary basics for the autoimmune protocol (AIP). The autoimmune protocol is an effective diet and lifestyle protocol that helps autoimmune patients overcome the core underlying factors preventing recovery, including inflammation, leaky gut, hormone imbalances, blood sugar imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies, and immune system dysregulation. The autoimmune protocol diet is an elimination and reintroduction protocol: For a time you eliminate foods that are known to drive inflammation and resulting symptoms, and then you reintroduce foods methodically to rule out reactivity. CHECK OUT: Take the Oral Tolerance Quiz The optimal end result is a diet and lifestyle that support your health while avoiding factors that undermine it. The diet explained here is stricter than the one in my books. It became clear, based on the research and the experience of many people, that a more stringent approach is often necessary. The diet must be very basic and simple so as not to trigger inflammation in the intestines and further worsen leaky gut and autoimmune flare-ups."

While it’s easy to get spooked by a mysterious mole or unexplained rash, there is usually no need to immediately hit the panic button when physical quirks strike. However, certain bodily oddities should not be ignored, as they might indicate a more serious problem. Many medical conditions manifest themselves in strange symptoms, and it’s best to catch these warning signs sooner rather than later. You, after all, know your body best. If you have a nagging feeling that something is off, it never hurts to see a doctor. Foot cramps at night: Could signal dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. See a doctor if cramps recur nightly or during the day upon walking—nerve damage or a blood clotting disorder could be to blame. Dry eyes: common side effect of contact lenses, environmental conditions, age and other factors; also early symptom of rheumatoid arthritis. If eye problems persist, consult an ophthalmologist to assess your symptoms."

Your gums may be sore when you brush and floss them, or they may be sore throughout the day, causing chronic pain. The soreness is related to infection, swelling and inflammation of the gums and is simply a symptom of an underlying condition. Causes Bacteria And Infection Your body’s natural reaction to plaque bacteria in the mouth is swollen gums, which causes them to become sore. Bacteria and gum infections like gum disease are the number one cause of sore gums. Tartar Buildup When plaque sits on the teeth for around 24 hours, it calcifies into tartar. Tartar cannot be brushed off and harbors bacteria that cause gingivitis, resulting in sore gums around the areas of buildup. Food Packing Areas between teeth that abnormally collect food are especially prone to being sore, due to the constant packing each time you eat. Failing Dental Work Old fillings or crowns can allow bacteria to cling along the margins or seep into areas that are no longer protected, resulting in localized sore areas along the gums of these teeth. Irregular Oral Care Even skipping part of your oral care routine from time to time can allow tissue to become irritated from a buildup of bacteria."

Candida symptoms can occur on different parts of their body, in ways that may be unique to that particular person. For this and other reasons, Candida is often misdiagnosed. If you have a doctor who is unaware of the importance of gut health, he or she may treat the symptoms rather than the cause. Fatigue might be written off as depression, and digestive problems might be blamed on IBS. The underlying cause, an imbalance in the gut flora, might not be recognized or treated. Just like other syndromes and chronic conditions, the symptoms of Candida can flare up in different places. There are tests for Candida overgrowth but in many cases patients do much of the diagnostic work themselves. Looking at the various symptoms that you’re experiencing can give a good indication of whether you have a deeper issue with your gut flora. The signs and symptoms of Candida can include fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, sinus infections, recurring yeast infections, mild depression, joint pain, and much more."

But getting rid of acne isn’t always as easy as using a killer spot treatment or changing up your skincare regimen. Sometimes, acne is caused by an internal problem and will only clear up after that problem is fixed. The best example of this is stubborn hormonal acne; however, there are actually quite a few internal health issues that can manifest themselves as blemishes. According to some alternative medicine practices, where your acne shows up can give you important clues about your internal health. The practice, called “face mapping,” examines the location of skin diseases on the face to diagnose internal diseases. “ It is based on Ayurveda practices and ancient Chinese medicine, and its principles have started to be integrated into some Western medical practices,” explained Dr. Michael Shapiro, board-certified dermatologist and Medical Director and Founder of Vanguard Dermatology. Here, Dr. Shapiro maps out what eight acne hot zones could be trying to tell you about your health. Keep in mind, having a pimple or two in one of these areas doesn’t automatically mean you have a serious health issue, But if you have chronic acne that you can’t squash no matter how hard you try, it might be worth asking your doctor to look into a potential internal link.

Many women suffer post tubal ligation syndrome after having a tubal ligation. Below is a list of symptoms that are associated with post tubal ligation syndrome. Post tubal ligation syndrome is often the result of a rapid decline of estrogen/progesterone hormone levels caused by the blood supply being damaged to the ovaries during the TL surgery. Depending on the damage to the veins and capillaries, blood volume to the ovaries may slightly decrease or can be eliminated completely which is called isolated ovarian syndrome (common with hysterectomy operations). Many of the symptoms of PTS are associated with menopause, hormone shock, or of having an estrogen/progesterone imbalance. Other symptoms, such has heavy painful periods may be caused by a hormonal imbalance, could be caused by adenomyosis (bought on by uterus muscle and tissue being damaged, effected by the TL surgery impairing the blood supply to areas of that organ/muscle) or a combination of both. Pain also can be caused by retro bleeding backing into the sealed fallopian tubes. Other theories of PTLS and the hormonal imbalance that results after a TL is that target or receptor cells that are important in the relay of hormonal messages are damaged, destroyed, and or removed during the TL surgery. These receptor cells act like a telephone, sending messages to the brain."

You may even be able to ask your friends because everyone has had things like fatigue or sore throats before. Sometimes, however, your symptom may be something simple yet no one you know has experienced it. It might even be really embarrassing to talk about. You know what to do when you have a sore throat, or when you have a backache, but what do you do if your tongue turns green? It may seem like a simple thing, but noticing a change in the color of your tongue from the normal pink or red to something so strange may be a really disconcerting experience for you, and it isn’t something you should ignore. In reality, the tongue itself isn’t green. Instead, the green color comes from a film like coating on the surface, which is good news when you’re probably wanting to get rid of it!The tongue isn’t something we spend a lot of time thinking about, but its condition and overall health can point to imbalance or disease in the body. Both Western medicine and more traditional medical practices use the tongue as a litmus test for the condition of certain aspects of your health."

Vitamins and minerals (those nutrients normally found in a multivitamin) are distinct from macronutrients in that they don’t provide energy; they help the body carry out some of its vital functions (hence the prefix vita-, as in vitality). A vitamin is a more complex molecule, while a mineral is a single element in the periodic table (though it’s almost always bound to something else for the purpose of delivery, and so forms a compound. What it’s bound to makes a difference in terms of absorbability. ) Here are some visible signs that you might be deficient in particular vitamins or minerals. The point here is to get you to recognize that vitamins and minerals are important, and that’s why a multivitamin is a good idea. Do not supplement an individual vitamin or mineral without the advice of a nutritionist or naturopathic physician, because overdose or imbalance is possible for some of them, and also because some of these symptoms may be indicative of an underlying condition. Nails and Hair: Ridges: often a zinc deficiency White spots: often a zinc deficiency Hang nails: often a zinc deficiency Soft or brittle nails: may be a magnesium deficiency Hair loss: can be a lot of things, but biotin or zinc deficiency are possible Skin: usually skin stuff requires the gut and/or the liver to be addressed, and there are often food intolerances involved.

The taste sensation in the tongue is controlled by sensory nerves and when these nerves are strained they will get injured an cause paresthesia, which can last for several days or several months depend on how severely the nerves were damaged."

The breed’s direct ancestors are the Cordoba Fighting Dog and a number of other breeds, which were intentionally crossed in the 1920s to create a courageous, tenacious, fearless dog that could pursue and bring down dangerous wild predators while at the same time serving as a trustworthy and stable family companion. The large, muscular Dogo Argentino is almost always pure white, which makes it especially easy to see in the forest or field. This powerful breed is remarkably athletic and agile for its size and can cover ground almost effortlessly. Still relatively rare, they respond best to positive, reward-based training and typically are extremely gentle with and fond of children. The Dogo has been described as a “consummate hunter, a superb companion [and] a wise and elegant guardian.” It continues to excel as a valiant hunter of large prey, and also as a wonderful friend for active, experienced dog owners.

Instead of containing multiple meat sources such as chicken, beef and lamb, a hypoallergenic dog food will contain just chicken.

The term hypoallergenic dog breed is commonly used to refer to a dog breed (or crossbreed) that is more compatible with allergic people than other breeds. However, prominent allergen researchers have claimed that there is no basis to the claims that are hypoallergenic [1] [2] and, while allergen levels vary among individual dogs, the breed is not a significant factor.

[ 2] In a recent interview, Christine Cole Johnson, Senior Staff Scientist at the Henry Ford Hospital & Health System, referring to the findings of her article in the July 2011 issue of the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy, explained that it was unclear where the name hypoallergenic dog breed came from, and asserted that the existence of such a breed was just a myth.

[ 4] [5] Some studies have suggested that the production of the allergen, and therefore human allergenic reaction, varies by breed, [6] [7] [8] [9] yet more recent scientific findings indicate that there are no significant differences between breeds in the generation of these allergens. [ 1] [2] [3] One study found hypoallergenic breeds to have significantly more allergen in their coats than non-hypoallergenic breeds although there was no differences in the allergen levels in the air or on the floor.

"text": "\"Hypoallergenic Dogs A complete guide to hypoallergenic dogs Advertiser Links for Hypoallergenic Dogs [ what's this? ] If you love dogs but suffer from a dog allergy, a hypoallergenic dog may be the answer. First, though, it's essential to understand the correct technical definition of the word \"\"hypoallergenic.\"\" As the \"\"hypo\"\" prefix suggests, these dogs are not free of allergens, but produce lower levels of the dander that allergy sufferers react to. Consider the example of an allergy sufferer with a particularly high sensitivity to dogs. Such an individual may suffer from severe allergic reactions, including asthma attacks, trouble breathing and hoarse wheezing. Around a hypoallergenic dog, the same individual may exhibit only diminished allergic symptoms, such as watery eyes or sneezing. It is unlikely that such a person would have absolutely no allergic reaction whatsoever to a hypoallergenic dog breed. In general, long-haired breeds that shed a lot tend to trigger more severe allergic reactions in individuals with dog allergies than short-haired breeds that shed more moderately. Thus, hypoallergenic dogs are exclusively short-haired animals with lower shedding rates."

"text": "\"Medium Sized Dog Breed Home | Dogs | Breeds | Medium Dogs The Medium Sized Dog Medium sized dogs cover a wide variety of breeds ranging from terriers to hounds to huskies. They can be laid back or energetic, they can be guard dogs or family companions, and they vary in term of looks, temperament and personality. Because there is such a variance, the only thing that medium sized dogs truly have in common is their weight – they range 40 and 60 pounds. The sheer number of breeds that are classified as \"\"medium sized\"\" has helped them become the most popular size of dog in the world. Medium breeds are also popular because unlike small breeds, they are less prone to injury and fearfulness, and they lack the sheer bulk and the various health concerns of large breeds. Many breeds in the medium category are also known for their intelligence, providing stimulating companionship for owners. Medium sized dogs can live happily in apartments or other small spaces, but they do require frequent exercise to help them burn off excess energy. Though they are not as large as other breeds, they must engage lots of daily physical activity and can become destructive in the home if they become bored or restless. Breeds of this size are sturdy, and can handle the rough-and-tumble play that comes with a house full of children. They have more patience than small dogs, and they aren't as apt to accidentally hurt a child during an innocent game of chase."

"text": "Does Your Dog Really Need Lamb, Bison, and Other 'Hypoallergenic' Dog Food Proteins? By Jennifer Coates, DVMIn order to identify what is the best dog food for dogs with food allergies you must first understand what are food allergies and what causes them. Many different terms are used to describe abnormal reactions to food. The terms “allergy” and “ hypersensitivity ” describe an immunologic reaction to food allergens and requires previous exposure to the allergen to bring about symptoms. In contrast, a food “intolerance” does not involve the immune system and can occur with the first exposure to a certain food. Both reactions produce similar symptoms and may be difficult to tell apart without veterinary guidance. In fact, according to Dr. Adam Patterson, clinical assistant professor and Chief of Dermatology at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences Small Animal Clinic, “Food allergies in dogs present themselves quite differently than food allergies in humans. For instance, a person who is allergic to shellfish may experience throat swelling and possibly a critical or fatal reaction, but in dogs, the allergy is expressed through the skin and seen most often as itch. ”What are the Common Signs of Food Allergies in Dogs? Symptoms of food allergies in dogs vary, but the most common complaint is non-seasonal itching that may involve the whole body or be focused on the ears and feet."

"text": "Is a Siberian Right for You Siberian Huskies are not a dog for everyone. You may have been drawn to the breed after hearing about how great they are with children, how intelligent they are, what terrific jogging partners they make, or their lack of ‘dog smell’. All of these things are true and are great benefits of the breed but it is important to understand the true nature and temperament of the husky before making your decision. Owning a husky is unlike owning many other breeds, huskies are a free spirited dog, we will explain what this means a bit later on. If you are a well-adjusted, assertive, happy and active person with a good family situation you may be a perfect Siberian husky owner. Siberian cleanliness Despite their shedding Siberians are an exceptionally clean dog, they take great pride in their coat and strive to keep it clean (this doesn’t mean they won’t go splashing around in puddles of mud though). Siberians do not have the ‘doggy odor’ that is typical of many breeds – and can be considered a low allergy dog (we will explain this later on however it is important to know that this does not mean they are a ‘hypoallergenic’ dog – allergies are caused by dander and not by the fur). Huskies are clean eaters as well, rarely making a mess when they eat and keeping their feeding area clean. Climate Siberian Huskies appreciate cold climates, often found curled up in the yard with the wind blowing around them at full force. Climate is an important consideration, the Australian climate is quite different to their ancient origins in the snow covered Siberia."

Other names for this dog are the Chi-Pom, Chiranian and the Pomahuahua. This dog is not officially recognized as a breed by purebred organizations because it is a mixed breed dog, however, the American Canine Hybrid Club do classify it as its own breed. This dog can either have a single or a double coat depending on whether it has more Chihuahua or Pomeranian content. Generally the topcoat of the Pomchi is soft and full. There are variations in the coats’ length and they can be either long or short depending on the parentage. The typical Pomchi dog has a rounder head with a narrow muzzle. Their eyes are large and round and of a dark color. Their ears typically are pointed and stand erect which it takes from the Chihuahua. This dog has shorter limbs compared to other small dogs and a longer torso."

"text": "According to The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, between 6 and 10 million Americans are allergic to cats or other pets. If you’re an allergy sufferer who also happens to be a cat lover, you may be interested in low-allergen cats. But what makes a cat hypoallergenic? Low-allergen, or hypoallergenic cats, are those that typically produce fewer allergens than “regular” cats. The operative word here is “fewer.” Hypoallergenic cats and hypoallergenic cat breeds are not synonymous with non-allergenic, and no cat breed is completely non-allergenic. A protein (Fel D1) is the allergen in the cat’s saliva is what causes problems for cat allergy sufferers. Once your cat licks her coat, the allergen-laden spit dries and becomes airborne, seeking a warm home in your nose and sinuses. Some cat breeds produce less of this protein than others, making them hypoallergenic. Several Factors Affect How Hypoallergenic a Cat Is: What factors play into how hypoallergenic a cat is?"

Not only was the cat's coat soft and shiny, my friend had no reaction to it what-so-ever.

All mistakes are mine. Purebred Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies are not wolves, or part-wolves, were not bred from wolves, and these breeds were not developed by breeding to wolves anytime recently (that is a separate animal called a wolf-dog ). Based on studies by Dr. Robert Wayne at UC Berkeley, sled dogs are no more closely related to wolves than Chihuahuas. There is very little genetic difference between any dog and any wolf, coyote, or jackal, etc., so little, in fact, that genetic tests cannot tell how much wolf is in deliberately bred wolf-dogs. The domesticated canines and their wild cousins CAN interbreed. However, pedigrees on Malamutes and Siberians are available back ~20 generations (to the early 1930s at least) and these dogs are not wolf crosses -- Malamutes are Malamutes, Siberians are Siberians. But they look like Wolves, or Phenotype The definition of Phenotype is \"\"the genetically and environmentally determined physical appearance of an organism.\"\" In other words, (the parents and) the conditions create the appearance. Malamutes & Siberians LOOK like wolves, and in certain instances, ACT like wolves, because: All dogs and wolves descended from a common ancestor (or primitive version of the wolf, the debate rages); and,The phenotype of the Northern Breeds is the best solution to the problem of the Arctic weather and conditions."

By Jen Viegas Published On 01/16/2014 5:00 PM ESTA widely held belief is that dogs evolved from gray wolves, but a new study finds that the common ancestor of dogs and wolves went extinct thousands of years ago. What's more, the extensive DNA analysis -- published in the latest PLo S Genetics -- found that dogs are more closely related to each other than to wolves, regardless of their geographic origin. The genetic overlap seen today between dogs and wolves is likely then due to interbreeding after dog domestication. \"\" The common ancestor of dogs and wolves was a large, wolf-like animal that lived between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago,\"\" Robert Wayne, co-senior author of the study, told Discovery News. \"\" Based on DNA evidence, it lived in Europe. \"\" Photos: The Earliest Dogs For the study, Wayne, a professor in UCLA's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and his colleagues generated genome sequences from three gray wolves: one each from China, Croatia and Israel, representing three regions where dogs are believed to have originated. The researchers also produced genomes for two dog breeds: a basenji, a breed that originates in central Africa, and a dingo from Australia. Both locations have been historically isolated from modern wolf populations. The scientists, co-led by John Novembre, additionally sequenced the genome of a golden jackal to serve as an example representing earlier divergence."

The Malamute is a descendant of dogs of the Mahlemut (now known as the Kobuk) group of Inuit upper western Alaska. These dogs had a prominent role with their human companions. They were used as utilitarian dogs, working, hunting, and living alongside humans. The dogs were renowned for their excellent hunting abilities and were used to hunt large predators such as bears. Their large muscles also allow them to easily pull a sled. The Alaskan is the sled dog of choice for world-class dog sled racing sprint competition.

Dogs ( canis familiaris) are the descendants of wolves and are classified as a subspecies of the grey wolf ( canis lupus ). Recent genetic studies, however, have shown that dogs descend from an extinct genus that diverged from modern-day grey wolves about 40,000 years ago. Because of their close genetic similarity, dogs and wolves share many physical traits. Wolves, however, are stronger with higher levels of energy and stamina. Wolf instincts and temperament differ quite dramatically as well. Wolves are stubborn, erratic, difficult to train, and a danger to children and other small animals. These qualities make them a poor choice to keep as a guard dog or household pet. That said, wolves are beautiful, powerful creatures. It's not surprising that many people fantasise about having one as a pet."

"text": "\"Dog Breeds Are Huskies Related to Wolves?by Jane Meggitt Little Red Riding Hood is safe with me. Although wolf-like in appearance, huskies are no more closely related to wolves than poodles and bulldogs are. While they're all dogs, some huskies may be crossed with wolves, producing a wolf hybrid. That's an entirely different animal from a purebred Siberian husky or its cousin, the Alaskan Malamute. Siberian Husky The adult Siberian husky stands between 20 to 23.5 inches tall at the shoulder, weighing between 35 to 60 pounds. Males are larger than females. Double-coated for protection from the cold, the blue-eyed Siberian husky's fur may be any color. These coats \"\"blow\"\" out twice a year, so be prepared for major shedding in the spring and fall. The American Kennel Club notes the presence of many striking patterns on the head, found only in this breed. History According to the AKC, the Siberian husky probably originated as a sled dog within the Chukchi tribe, near the eastern Siberian peninsula."

We are trying to find the owner but based on past experience he was probably dumped. He is definitely Siberian Husky (all white with blue eyes, large fluffy tail, double coat) but he appears to be much larger than the average Siberian Husky. He is very lean and tall - taller than my 80 lb lab mix. He isn't hungry so I think he's just very lean - much leaner than a shepherd. He has a wonderful personality, doesn't jump or paw, moves effortlessly and stealthily, and we haven't heard him bark at all. I will be taking him to the vet later today to see if he is microchipped. We are leaning towards keeping him because he is such a good dog (and already out of the puppy stage)."

Update: I have no desire in getting a wolf, or a wolf like dog. I'm just asking out of pure curiosity. Update 2: I think that while looks are a good indication, they are not definitive. It is possible that some dogs were bred back to a wolf like appearance for sled-pulling work Update 3: Yes i know that dogs and wolves are the same species, they are all cannis lupus, but that doesn't mean that one dog breed can't be closest to the wolf than another.

"text": "\"Siberian Huskies Description Siberian Huskies are a medium sized, strong, graceful, and tenacious sled dog. They are a handsome dog, energetic and dignified. While they are a medium sized dog, they are extremely strong, able to pull light loads at moderate speeds for long distances. History The Siberian Husky was originally developed by the Chukchi people of northeastern Siberia as an endurance sled dog. They were also used to herd reindeer. In 1909, the first large numbers of these Chukchi dogs were brought to Alaska to compete in the long-distance All-Alaska Sweepstakes races, and the Alaskan dog drivers quickly recognized the ability of these small, compact dogs from Siberia. In the winter of 1925, when a diphtheria epidemic broke out in the isolated town of Nome, Alaska, a relay of dog teams brought life-saving serum from distant Nenana. This heroic endeavor earned national prominence for the drivers and their dogs. One of these drivers, Leonhard Seppala, brought his team of Siberian Huskies, descendants of the original imports from Siberia, to the United States on a personal appearance tour. While in New England he competed in sled dog races and again proved the superiority of Siberian Huskies over the native dogs."

Old and New World red-fox-like canids, e.g. red fox and kit fox 4. Monotypic species, e.g. bat-eared fox, raccoon dog The wolf, coyote, jackal, and domestic dog (including the dingo) have 78 chromosomes arranged in 39 pairs. They are interfertile (unless size or behavioural differences obstruct mating) and produce fertile offspring. The wolf, coyote, and golden jackal diverged around 3 to 4 million years ago. The African Wild Dog also has 78 chromosomes, but is considered distinct enough (with different physical features) to be placed in its own genus."

They can be a solid color or multi-colored, usually gray, black and white, but sometimes brown, cream or red. They have very heavy undercoats to protect them from the elements when pulling a sled and a heavier topcoat than the Siberian Husky. Alaskan Huskies have long legs, a lean body, a deep chest, pointy ears and tend to have brown eyes (as opposed to the Siberian’s bright blue). They often look like a cross between the Siberian and the Malamute; some look wolf-like while others look like a mix of many breeds. Traits Speed (Best racing sled dog in the world)Bushy tail Husky howl, rather like a wolf’s Unusual markings Ideal Human Companion Very active people, ideally runners or other regular exercisers Families with older children Families with other dogs Singles willing to go to the dog park Someone looking for a calmer version of other huskies What They Are Like to Live With Alaskan Huskies are calmer than their cousins the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute. They are friendly with their families and curious about strangers. This Northern dog does not make a good watchdog because he rarely barks and is more likely to sniff a stranger than attack him. Alaskan Huskies are actually very gentle creatures and are good with slightly older children but the family cat may have to take up different living quarters in the house as they tend to be overly curious about small animals. Owning an Alaskan Husky means having a companion who is lively, yet also subdued at times, playful, intelligent and easygoing."

Another popular cross often mistaken for a wolfdog is the Alaskan Malamute mixed with a Husky (Alusky). This section shows examples of non-wolfdogs that are often mistaken as part wolf. If you look carefully at the dogs, comparing them to the dogs pictured on the wolfdog page and then study some of the pictures of the Nordic dog types you will begin to pick up on the differences in appearance. It is important that people learn the difference. There are many dogs in shelters that are killed because they look like wolves when they are actually Nordic type dogs, such as Husky or Malamute mixes. Falsely labeling animals as wolfdogs in shelters can be detrimental.

The original term is ‘Eskie’, but it’s corruption has led to the term ‘Husky’. The common breeds of huskies are the Siberian and Alaskan Husky. The wolf, on the other hand, is the largest member of the canine family. Its origins can be traced back to 300,000 years, and it survived the Ice Age. DNA testing has confirmed the fact, that wolves and dogs, have common ancestry. The wolves are the prime, or apex predators, in their ecological system.

A mature Wolf's eyes are often amber/brown or gold, but also commonly come in hues of brown, gray, yellow, and green. It is interesting to note that puppies are born with blue eyes, while mature Wolves do not retain blue as an eye color. Huskies often have blue eyes, and because of this people think there must be blue eyed Wolves as well, but this isn't true.

"text": "20mn read Feb 25, 2015 @lazharichir 13List Of 600+ Hybrid Dog Breeds With Their Name & Mix CONTENTS600+ Hybrid Dogs' Name & Pure Breeds Mix Great books about these breeds... We have compiled a list of over 600 famous hybrid dogs (also called: Designer Dogs, Boutique Dogs, Mongrels and Dog Crossbreeds) with, for each, its Hybrid Name and the mix of pure breeds it is from. To cut the debate short: a hybrid dog is not a BREED in itself; it is a hybrid resulting from a mix of more than one purebred dog. The term “hybrid” is still incorrect as all dogs are a sub-species of Canis lupus familiaris (the wolf) and as such, it is impossible to have an actual hybrid as they are two of the same species. Although scientifically incorrect, we still commonly use “hybrid” to describe and refer to these mixes. The term “designer dog” has been traced back to the late 20th century when it appeared in the Encyclopædia Britannica, when dog breeders were intentionally crossing purebred poodles with other purebred breeds with, as sole objective, the obtention of a dog with the poodles’ hypoallergenic coat, along with various desirable characteristics from other breeds. Creating designer crossbreeds is usually done for one or more of the reasons below: Reduce the risk of genetic diseases linked to specific pure breeds by avoiding undesirable recessive traits Create dogs with an improved hybrid vigour or heterosis Start a line of dogs with predictable characteristics and features Launch the preliminary stage of developing a new dog breed in itself Get a dog merging the best qualities of two or more purebred dogs or breeds600+ Hybrid Dogs' Name & Pure Breeds Mix The purebred dogs (crosses/mixes) are sorted alphabetically. For example, an Boxer crossed with an Akita will be found as A kita x B oxer. Please note that this list tries to be as exhaustive as possible and is regularly updated.

Such hybridization in the wild have been detected in many populations scattered throughout Europe and North America, usually occurring in areas where wolf populations have declined from human impacts and persecutions. [ 1] [2] At the same time, hybrids are also often bred in captivity for various purposes. Inter-hybridization of dogs and two other North American wolf species have also occurred historically in the wild, although it is often difficult for biologists to discriminate the dog genes in the eastern timber and red wolves from the gray wolf genes also present in these wolf species due to their historical overlaps with North American gray wolves as well as with coyotes, both of which have introgressed into the eastern timber and red wolf gene pools. [ 3] At the same time, because many isolated populations of the three wolf species in North America have also mixed with coyotes in the wild, [4] it has been speculated by some biologists that some of the coywolf hybrids in the northeastern third of the continent may also have both coydogs and wolfdogs in their gene pool. [ 5] Hybrids between dogs and Ethiopian wolves discovered in the Ethiopian Highlands likely originated from past interactions between free-roaming feral dogs and Ethiopian wolves living in isolated areas. [ 6]The term \"\"wolfdog\"\" is preferred by most of the animals' proponents and breeders because the domestic dog was taxonomically recategorized in 1993 as a subspecies of Canis lupus."

"text": "Share: Wolf-Dog Hybrids Wolf and wolf-dog hybrid ownership by private citizens has long been a contentious issue in the United States. Wolf-dog hybrid (hybrid for short) is a term used to describe an animal that is part wolf and part domestic dog. Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and wolves ( Canis lupus) share an evolutionary past and thus share many physical and behavioral traits. Dogs evolved from wolves through a centuries-long process of domestication. Domestication is the process by which a wild animal adapts to living with humans by being selectively bred by humans over thousands of years. Through this process, a dog’s behavior, life cycle and physiology have become permanently altered from that of a wolf. Wolves and dogs are interfertile, meaning they can breed and produce viable offspring. In other words, wolves can interbreed with any type of dog, and their offspring are capable of producing offspring themselves. Although hybrids can occur naturally in the wild, they are rare because the territorial nature of wolves leads them to protect their home ranges from intruding canines such as dogs, coyotes and other wolves. Governed by their instincts, wolves, both in the wild and in captivity, exhibit behavior that is relatively consistent."

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

How the Northern Inuit Came to Be The Northern Inuit, which resembles a cross between a German shepherd and malamute, is a relatively new dog breed established in the 1980s by U. K.breeder Edwina “Eddie” Harrison. Often mistaken as a wolf hybrid, the Northern Inuit caused quite an uproar in Britain when initially advertised as belonging to the aggressive wolf family. Dog experts say these dogs are a mix of several rescue dogs of unknown origins, along with the Alaskan malamute, German Shepherd, and Siberian husky. The result is a dog breed not only exquisitely beautiful but canines with great temperaments that make wonderful pets—provided that they are adopted by the right people. Pros and Cons of the Northern Inuit Breed Pros This dog breed is friendly, affectionate and loyal and is a great family dog. Northern Inuits are good with kids. Unlike other breeds like Rottweilers, they are docile. The breed gets along well with other pets, especially other dogs."

The alleles ay, aw, at are jointly designated A-alleles (Agouti) and a-allele (non-agouti). The expression of the locus A is affected by the loci E and K. The locus A is not expressed in the presence of KB allele and the genotype e/e. These alleles are epistatic to the locus A alleles. If the expression of the locus A is enabled, then: Dogs with allele ay have a coat colour called fawn irrespective of any other allele, i.e. the allele ay is dominant over the other alleles of locus A. Dogs with the genotype aw/aw, aw/at or aw/a have wolf sable coat colour, the allele aw is dominant over the allele at and the allele a. Dogs with allele at/at or at/a have a tan colour. The saddle tan dogs are of at/at phenotype; the modifying gene (Dreger 2011) is obviously also responsible for the saddle tan coloration. Dogs of genotype a/a are black; the expression of the allele a is recessive. The wild type allele aw causes the change from production of eumelaning to phaeomelanin in a hair, so-called agouti colour (you can imagine the colour of grey wolf). The allele aw has been found in wolf (Berryere et al 2007) and coyote (Smutz et al 2007) and in some German shepherds (Berryere et al 2005)."

They have very heavy undercoats to protect them from the elements when pulling a sled and a heavier topcoat than the Siberian Husky. Alaskan Huskies have long legs, a lean body, a deep chest, pointy ears and tend to have brown eyes (as opposed to the Siberian’s bright blue).

They are friendly with their families and curious about strangers. This Northern dog does not make a good watchdog because he rarely barks and is more likely to sniff a stranger than attack him. Alaskan Huskies are actually very gentle creatures and are good with slightly older children but the family cat may have to take up different living quarters in the house as they tend to be overly curious about small animals. Owning an Alaskan Husky means having a companion who is lively, yet also subdued at times, playful, intelligent and easygoing."

By The MNT Editorial Team Last updated Tue 5 January 2016What Is Health Insurance? How To Find Private Health Insurance Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that covers the cost of an insured individual's medical and surgical expenses. Depending on the type of health insurance coverage, either the insured pays costs out-of-pocket and is then reimbursed, or the insurer makes payments directly to the provider. In health insurance terminology, the \"\"provider\"\" is a clinic, hospital, doctor, laboratory, health care practitioner, or pharmacy. The \"\"insured\"\" is the owner of the health insurance policy; the person with the health insurance coverage. In countries without universal health care coverage, such as the USA, health insurance is commonly included in employer benefit packages and seen as an employment perk. Is health insurance coverage a human right or another product one can buy? In some countries, such as the United Kingdom or Canada, health care coverage is provided by the state and is seen as every citizen's right - it is classed along with public education, the police, firefighters, street lighting, and public road networks, as a part of a public service for the nation. In other countries, such as the USA, health insurance coverage is seen somewhat differently - with the exception of some groups, such as elderly and/or disabled people, veterans and some others, it is the individual's responsibility to be insured."

This includes deductions for most medical and dental costs for you, your spouse, and your dependents. Most people won’t take this deduction, but if you’ve had a lot of medical expenses or your income was lower than expected, it can be a wallet-saver. As a rule of thumb: If you paid the cost out-of-pocket, you could deduct it. This includes things like wellness programs and transportation needed for care. If your insurer paid it, the marketplace paid it as an advanced tax credit, or you put it in a medical savings account, you can’t deduct it. No “double benefits. ”Important Medical Expense Deduction Facts Here are some quick facts on how Medical and Dental tax deductions work under the ACA: Medical expenses must exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income before you can claim a deduction. The threshold was 7.5% of AGI before 2013. If you, or your spouse, is over 65. The threshold is 7.5% through December 31, 2016."

"text": "Dear Tax Talk, Can you deduct long-term care insurance premiums? — Judith Dear Judith, A long-term care insurance policy provides a daily allowance for the care of an individual who is no longer able to care for herself. The daily allowance is intended to cover the costs of nursing home care, nurses, aides and similar expenses. These policies became popular in the 1990s. The policy premium varies depending on a person’s age, health and the amount of daily allowance. Long-term care premiums within certain limits are deductible as itemized medical expenses, as are health insurance premiums. The total of itemized medical expenses is deductible if it exceeds 7.5 percent of AGI (adjusted gross income). Self-employed individuals and S corporation shareholders with wages can deduct the premiums for long-term care, within certain limits, as an adjustment to AGI without having to apply the 7.5-percent threshold applicable to itemized medical expenses.

Fidelity Viewpoints – 10/24/2017Health Care & Wellness 401 (k) Health Savings Account Medical Insurance Key takeaways HSAs offer a number of benefits: not only spending for the short term, but also saving for longer-term qualified medical expenses, including those in retirement. Unlike health flexible spending accounts (FSAs), HSAs are not subject to the \"\"use-it-or-lose-it\"\" rule. Any unused funds may be used to pay for future qualified medical expenses. Once you reach age 65, you can also use your HSA to pay for COBRA and certain Medicare premiums as well as long-term care insurance. More and more employers are offering HSA-eligible health plans to their employees. These plans are also known as high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and are paired with health savings accounts (HSAs). If your company offers this option and you are not taking advantage of it, you may be missing an opportunity, as HSAs can play a valuable role in your financial wellness. In the past, you may have heard that HSAs were a convenient way to pay for out-of-pocket costs, such as doctor visits or prescriptions at your local pharmacy. But did you know that HSAs can be used in a variety of ways to help manage other current qualified medical expenses—as well as for future qualified medical expenses, even after you retire?"

For anyone not covered under an employer's policy, the answer usually lies in the search for an affordable health insurance plan, and, as you age, Medicare supplemental insurance (or Medigap) and long-term-care insurance. Anyone over the age of 50 (over 65 for Medigap) is eligible to buy these three products through AARP, the advocacy organization, which is also a major player in the insurance industry. The organization collects $400 million a year in fees for lending its name to various private policies, but since AARP’s financial products haven’t always lived up to the group’s mission of looking out for its 40 million members, Money Watch.com has investigated how good these policies are. After talking to nearly a dozen experts and comparing quotes from more than 50 companies, here’s our conclusion: AARP health policies, while rarely the least expensive, are competitive, and might be the best plan for you if you have health problems. Its long-term-care insurance deserves checking out because of its low rates and the financial strength of its partner, Genworth Financial. However, it’s hard to say whether any one insurance policy is absolutely the best one for you for two reasons: Whether you’ll be able to buy these types of policies, and at what price, often depends on your health. Also, each state has its own regulations on the type of coverage insurers can offer and how they can choose which customers to accept.

LTC insurance offers more flexibility and options than many public assistance programs. Next Up Group-Home Care Accountable Care Organizations Insurance Long-Term Care Ombudsman BREAKING DOWN 'Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance'Long-term care is usually very expensive, which is why most people need insurance. For example, on average, nursing facilities providing skilled care charge $150 to $300 per day – more than $80,000 per year or more. Custodial home care at three visits per week can cost more than $9,000 each year. Most LTC insurance policies will cover only a specific dollar amount for each day you spend in a nursing facility or for each home-care visit. Thus, when considering an LTC insurance policy, read the policies carefully and compare the benefits to determine which policy will best meet your own needs. Full home care coverage is an option for LTC insurance and will pay for home care from the first day it is needed. It will cover expenses for a visiting or live-in caregiver, companion, housekeeper, therapist or private duty nurse up to seven days a week, 24 hours per day, up to the policy benefit maximum. Many experts suggest shopping for LTC insurance between the ages of 45 and 55, as part of an overall retirement plan to protect assets from the high costs and burdens of extended health care."

"text": "A life insurance policy represents a binding contract between you and the insurance company. Creating a financial plan without including life insurance is a risky business. Life insurance can protect your family in the event of your untimely death, and some types of life insurance build cash value and can be used as part of your retirement plan. Life insurance has some nifty tax benefits, like tax-free proceeds to your beneficiaries. One tax benefit you don't get, however, is a tax deduction for your life insurance premiums. Premiums You Can Deduct The Internal Revenue Service allows you to deduct certain types of insurance premiums, provided you itemize your deductions and meet certain specific requirements. For example, you can include health insurance and long-term care insurance premiums that you paid yourself with your other qualifying medical and dental expenses. For the 2012 tax year, you can only deduct the amount of your medical and dental expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. The IRS does not consider life insurance as a type of policy that covers medical care or qualified long-term care services, so you cannot include your life insurance premiums along with your medical and dental expenses deduction.

"text": "You can take advantage of this write-off if you itemize and your expenses exceed a certain amount. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor August 14, 2008You mentioned in one of your long-term care insurance articles that the premiums are tax-deductible, based on a sliding age scale. What are the rules for writing off these costs? A portion of your long-term care premiums may be tax-deductible as a medical expense if you itemize your taxes and your policy meets certain standards (most new policies qualify for the write-off, but ask your long-term care insurance company to make sure). The portion of the premiums you can include as a medical expense is based on your age and increases a bit each year for inflation. For 2008, you can include up to the following in qualified long-term care premiums (the limits are for each person and cannot exceed the premiums you've paid): Age 40 or younger by year end: $310 41 -- 50: $580 51 -- 60: $1,150 61 -- 70: $3,080 71 and older: $3,850Advertisement But that's only the first part of the calculation. You add your eligible long-term care insurance premiums to your other unreimbursed medical expenses. You can write off those costs only after they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. If your adjusted gross income is $50,000 for the year, for example, you'll only be able to write off medical expenses beyond $3,750. Say, for example, that you are 62 years old, have $3,000 in unreimbursed medical expenses and paid $4,000 in long-term care insurance premiums in 2008."

In other words, the lines between HMOs, PPOs, POSs and other types of coverage are often blurry. Still, understanding the makeup of various plan types will be helpful in evaluating your options. Here’s a breakdown of what various plan types typically feature. As you read about each type, remember that today’s health coverage market often offers “blends” of these traditional types. See “Plan Type Comparison” for a table that sums up the discussion below. Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)In a very general sense, HMOs offer predictable cost-sharing and administrative simplicity for patients. These features come with fairly restrictive rules about which providers patients may see. Participants are entitled to doctor visits, preventive care and medical treatment from providers who are in the HMO’s network. In addition to the monthly premium (which may be shared by the employer and employee), participants usually need to pay a small fee at the time of service called a copay (often in the range of $10 to $30), while the HMO covers 100% of the services provided."

"text": "\"Tax-Qualified and Non-Tax-Qualified Long Term Care Insurance Policiesby Free Advice staff Long term care insurance policies are either \"\"tax-qualified\"\" or \"\"non-tax-qualified,\"\" and there are important differences between the two. These differences are defined by federal legislation – the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). A federally tax-qualified long term care insurance policy, often referred to as a qualified policy, offers certain federal income tax advantages to the purchaser. If you have a qualified long term care policy, and you itemize deductions, you may be able to deduct part, or all, of the premium. It works this way: you add your total policy premium to your other deductible medical expenses, and if the total for the year is greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you may be able to deduct the excess amount on your federal income tax return. The maximum amount that you can claim as a deduction depends on your age, as shown in the following table for calendar year 2008 ( Publication 553)YOUR AGE YOU CAN CLAIM40 years old or younger 41--50 51--60 61—70 71 or older MAX AMT$310 $580 $1,150 $3.080 $3,850As you can see, the potential deductible amount for premium paid becomes rather significant at older ages. In addition to premium deductibility, you need to know whether benefits received under the policy are taxable. Generally speaking, benefits paid by a qualified long term care insurance policy are not taxable as income to the recipient, but benefits from a long term care insurance policy that is not qualified may be taxable as income. The government has yet to clarify this area of the law. Among other requirements, a qualified plan must cover only qualified long term care services (although a life insurance policy that provides long term care insurance may be an exception)."

However, the looming tidal wave of 70 million retiring baby boomers has prompted federal and state governments to sweeten the long-term care deal by offering tax incentives to those who purchase long-term care insurance, hoping to lessen the potential drain on Medicaid resources.

Reading the label will tell you if produce is GMO. Four-digit numbers indicate that the produce is conventionally grown, as Caribbean Red Papaya are. Five-digit numbers that start with 8 indicate that the fruit or vegetable is GMO. If the number starts with 9, it means it’s organic. The Institute for Science in Society, an anti-GM (Genetic Modification) organization, published a Web article entitled “GM Papaya Scandal,” by Joe Cummins, stating that a transplanted protein in GM papayas might provoke allergic reactions in humans, but that the Environmental Protection Agency had allowed them to be released without investigating that possibility. Papaya ringspot (PR) viruses are a major problem in papaya cultivation and can lead to a drastic loss of yield. In Hawaii during the 1990s, half of the papaya harvests were lost due to papaya ringspot virus infections. This problem resulted in scientists of the University of Hawaii introducing genetically modified papayas with the development and cultivation of virus-resistant papayas. The first GM virus resistant papayas were commercially grown in Hawaii in 1999 and they were so successful that by 2010, 80% of Hawaiian papaya plants were genetically modified."

Please see our affiliate disclosure for more information. When I think of GMO foods, that is, crops which have been altered from their natural state by means of genetic engineering, there’s a short list that pops into my head — corn, soybeans, canola, cottonseed — the big boys, the brainchildren of Monsanto. They’re the crops that largely fall under their corporate control, in the 90% range and climbing. The ones you can be nearly certain you are consuming in their genetically-engineered form if anywhere on a product’s ingredient list you see their names appear. In fact, if you’re any sort of a subscriber to Real Food, you know this is one of the main reasons to avoid the processed stuff, as they are highly contaminated with GMO ingredients. But when it comes to real, fresh foods, there seems to be less of a concern. We know that organically-grown produce is a better choice than conventionally farmed produce, but this is largely in order to avoid chemical toxicity from pesticide and herbicide use — not so much for fear of the foods being GM. And of course, there are foods that pose less of a risk of toxic contamination than others, as our friends at the Environmental Working Group will advise us with the “Clean Fifteen” and the “Dirty Dozen.”"

Share 5K Pin 5K Stumble 89 Tweet 65 Yum It’s that exciting, hopeful time of year again: All the seed catalogs have arrived and it’s time to plan your garden and buy seeds. But what most gardeners don’t know is that Monsanto has been devouring the seed market faster than a rabbit can eat your lettuce!In 2005, Monsanto grabbed 40% of the U. S. seed market and 20% of the global seed market when it bought out Seminis, making them the largest seed company in the world—supplying the genetics for 55% of the lettuce on U. S. supermarket shelves, 75% of the tomatoes, and 85% of the peppers, with strong holdings in beans, cucumbers, squash, melons, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and peas!The dirty little secret of the GMO industry is that most of the traits that they brag about trying to create (like drought tolerance, greater nutrition, etc.) are actually the product of traditional breeding. And Monsanto (closely followed by Dow and Syngenta) have been buying up every seed company they can ever since. They even own the trademark for many of the names of popular non-GMO seeds varieties!So, planting a Monsanto-free garden is not so simple as buying certified organic or heirloom seed anymore, now that Monsanto owns so many seed distributors. Seminis’ regular, non-GMO seeds are carried by many popular garden catalogs (including Burpee), and most large chains of nurseries and hardware stores. This means that a gardener or homesteader could buy heirloom or organic seeds, and still unknowingly be giving money to Monsanto—if the seeds in the catalog were supplied from Seminis or one of Monsanto’s other acquisitions. Monsanto’s Dirty Little Secret Aside from trying to dominate the global seed market and make everyone in the world their hostage customer, one of the main reasons that Monsanto and other biotech companies have bought up so many seed companies is to use the germplasm (DNA) of those non-GMO varieties in their future GMO products.

Gmos Take Plant and Animal Breeding to a Whole Different Level Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jennifer Chait Updated May 15, 2017Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) refer to plants and animals with an altered genetic make-up that's been \"\"edited\"\" in the laboratory in order to incorporate genes from another organism. When scientists use genetic engineering to alter the genes of an organism, they're generally seeking to add a trait that they view as beneficial, generally for production purposes. Usually, genetic engineering is done to achieve a trait not normally held by an organism, such as longer shelf life, disease resistance or different colors or flavors. The dangers vs. benefits of GMOs are widely debated, but genetic modification is currently allowed in conventional farming. In fact, many organizations and studies estimate that possibly 70% or more of all processed foods sold to consumers now contain genetically modified ingredients. As it stands right now, any food item that is certified organic cannot contain genetically modified ingredients. Why Genetically Modify a Living Organism? For millennia, farmers have sought to grow plants or breed animals with desirable characteristics. The earliest farmers chose the seeds from their best plants as the source for the next year's crop and chose their best animals to breed and produce another generation."

You should try growing some of these right now: Basil ( buy Basil seeds – and – check out this Watermelon Basil recipe)Beans ( buy seeds to grow your own beans)Beets ( beet seeds)Carrots ( non/hybrid/heirloom carrot seeds)Chard ( favorite is the rainbow swiss chard mix)Lettuce/Salad/Mesclun Mixes ( seeds to grow all your leafy greens)Mustard Greens ( easy to grow from seed)Oregano ( oregano seeds)Pumpkins ( try growing this 1,000+ lb. pumpkin)Squash ( squash seeds are one of the easiest to grow)One of the most important things you can do is buy good seeds for your garden. Make sure to buy only Non-Genetically Modified ( NON-GMO) seeds ."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A transgene is a gene or genetic material that has been transferred naturally, or by any of a number of genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The introduction of a transgene (called \"\" transgenesis \"\") has the potential to change the phenotype of an organism. In its most precise usage, the term transgene describes a segment of DNA containing a gene sequence that has been isolated from one organism and is introduced into a different organism. This non-native segment of DNA may either retain the ability to produce RNA or protein in the transgenic organism or alter the normal function of the transgenic organism's genetic code. In general, the DNA is incorporated into the organism's germ line. For example, in higher vertebrates this can be accomplished by injecting the foreign DNA into the nucleus of a fertilized ovum. This technique is routinely used to introduce human disease genes or other genes of interest into strains of laboratory mice to study the function or pathology involved with that particular gene. The construction of a transgene requires the assembly of a few main parts. The transgene must contain a promoter, which is a regulatory sequence that will determine where and when the transgene is active, an exon, a protein coding sequence (usually derived from the c DNA for the protein of interest), and a stop sequence. These are typically combined in a bacterial plasmid and the coding sequences are typically chosen from transgenes with previously known functions. ["

This may sound like a child’s rhyme or taunt, but there is reason to verify where and how the “New Hottest Pepper in the World” came into existence. Remember, We are speaking of Organic, non-GMO plants for our gardens. Hybrids that are grown by cross breeding is generally acceptable, but done in a lab? This pepper has been around since 2007, according to the Guiness book of world records and now you are most likely wondering how was it created. To explain that we first we need to start with some definitions: HYBRIDPlant breeders cross breed compatible types of plants in an effort to create a plant with the best features of both parents. These are called hybrids, and many of our modern plants are the results of these crosses. While plants can cross-pollinate in nature and hybrids repeatedly selected and grown may eventually stabilize, many hybrid seeds are relatively new crosses and seed from these hybrids will not produce plants with identical qualities."

"text": "\"First, the good news. A sudden brief late freeze is not likely to kill or cause long-term damage to your shrubs and trees, though the early leaves and blossoms may suffer some real damage. Prolonged extreme weather can kill or severely damage flowering trees and shrubs, but the majority of spring freeze events will only cause a set-back. Most trees and shrubs will recover from this type of damage, unless they are a variety already prone to freeze damage. The main deciding factor in how much damage your flowering tree or shrub sustains will be how far along they were in the process of breaking dormancy. If the leaf buds were still quite small, and had just begun to unfurl, you should still be in good shape. Even if actual leaves had begun to sprout, they are just the initial budding. Once the weather warms again, your tree or shrub will put out another flush of leaves. Foliar buds are more resistant to cold damage than flowering buds, but may still experience some browning or mishapen leaves. Once the plant has fully leafed out, the freeze damage may not even be visible."

It’s a fast growing variegated willow that works well as a privacy screen and is hardy in zones 4-9. It’s deciduous so it will be bare over the winter but the new growth in the spring time is fun to look at. It pops out with reddish tints on the tips of the leaves that eventually fade to a white and green “dappled” coloration. Propagating a Dappled Willow is Very Easy I have a row of these plants along one side of our property, but I didn’t buy a single one. They all came from cuttings of the dappled willow in the picture above. My in-laws bought a few of these several years ago and this one at the edge of their patio has really enjoyed its location. With an occasional pruning they can be kept in check. What is really cool and really easy to do is to sprout new plants from cuttings. Just take a piece 8 inches long or so and put it in water."

Likewise, other species, including the climbing hydrangea, will benefit from a trim. Such plants fall into RHS Pruning group 4. Quick facts Suitable for Hydrangeas Timing Usually late winter/early spring, but sometimes late summer Difficulty Easy to moderate Jump to When to prune hydrangeas How to prune hydrangeas Problems Suitable for... The pruning methods explained below are for individual types and species of hydrangea. The most commonly grown hydrangeas in gardens are lacecaps and mopheads – mopheads are identified by their full, roundish heads of large petals; lacecaps have tiny flowers in the centre of the bloom and an outer border of large petals. When to prune hydrangeas Most pruning is carried out in late winter or early spring. However, the climbing hydrangea is pruned after flowering in summer. How to prune hydrangeas Dead-heading Dead blooms on mophead hydrangeas can, in mild areas, be removed just after flowering, but it is best to leave them on the plant over winter to provide some frost protection for the tender growth buds below. Remove the dead flowerheads in early spring, cutting back the stem to the first strong, healthy pair of buds down from the faded bloom Lacecaps are hardier, and the faded flowerheads can be cut back after flowering to the second pair of leaves below the head in order to prevent seed developing, which saps energy from the plant Pruning established mopheads and lacecaps Cut out one or two of the oldest stems at the base to encourage the production of new, replacement growth that will be more floriferous Poor or neglected plants can be entirely renovated by cutting off all the stems at the base."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Proven Winners By: Danny Flanders Related To: Hydrangeas Plants Pruning Shrubs Flowers One of the most common gardening questions is “When should I prune my hydrangeas?” As those billowy big blooms turn from cheery blues, purples, pinks, reds and whites to boring browns we all tend to want to run out with the clippers and hack away. So, is now the time to do that? Yes and no. It depends on the type of hydrangea you have, and there are many. First, know hydrangeas do not have to be pruned — unless the shrub has grown too large for its space or unruly and needs a little shaping up. Otherwise, you can simply clean up the plant by removing dead branches and deadheading spent blooms.50 Gorgeous Hydrangeas See All Photos But if you do choose to prune one, remember this: Time it based on whether the type of hydrangea you have blooms on old wood or on new wood. If it blooms on old wood (stems from the summer before the current one), its buds are being formed, and if you wait too late you may cut them off, meaning no flowers next spring. So these shrubs should be pruned immediately after their flowers fade."

If that happens, it is probably one of three reasons. Either it did not get enough sun An early frost or cold spell killed the flowers buds or It was pruned at the wrong time To complicate the issue, different types of hydrangeas need pruning at different times.

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Protect Shrubs From Snow By D. C. Winston; Updated September 21, 2017Snow seems lightweight when falling but buildup of snow and ice on your shrubs can cause disfigurement and limb breakage over the course of a single winter. Shrubs that do not renew themselves from ground, such as juniper or needle evergreens, are often permanently damaged with no means to renew their natural form. Effectively protecting shrubs from snow damage centers on reducing the crevices and flat planes where snow collects and presses down on the limb and branch structures. This can be accomplished in one of two ways, either by lashing the branches of shrubs together or by wrapping and tying around the perimeter of the shrub. Each method reduces the surface area available on which the damaging snow can collect and is a matter of preference. Protect the main crotch points of your shrub, where two or more of the shrub limbs meet, by tying them together to prevent snow from building up and pressing them down and apart, possibly breaking or cracking the limbs at the crotch juncture. Place the tie roughly a third to half of the way above the crotch, lacing it around the outside of the main limbs and drawing the twine or rope snug and tying it off to keep the branches together and the tie in place. Wrap shrubs with one to two layers of burlap fabric or other breathable horticultural fabric and tie snugly with twine or rope around the exterior of the shrub. This will prevent snow and ice from resting in between the branches and pressing them down. This can be particularly helpful for use on evergreen topiary or hedging with a defined shape that will not be able to recover easily from structural limb damage."

These beautiful but hungry animals are not easy to keep out of your garden. They will easily step or jump over most fences and are too smart to be fooled by man-made distractions. The best way to keep deer out of your garden is to know what plants deer eat and avoid planting them. Woody Plants Deer will feed on woody plants no matter the season, according to information published by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Woody plants refer to shrubs, trees and even vines. Although woody plants are low in nutrients, deer love the tender twigs of these plants. In the spring, they will decimate the buds before they even get a chance to open. Some of the more common woody garden plants that deer eat are azaleas, crabapple and apple trees, clematis, honeysuckle vines, red cedar and willow trees, oaks and even roses.

Unfortunately they also eat their way through the landscape along with rabbits and other cute furry creatures. Wildlife can cause some real economic and aesthetic problems. Deer love to nibble on leaves, stems and buds of many woody plants. In spring and summer non-woody plants are favorites and fruits and nuts especially acorns are important when available in late summer and fall. Don't expect deer to trim your grass since grasses are of little importance as deer food. Rabbits will eat just about anything. Tulips are favorites especially the first shoots in early spring. Rabbits really love peas, beans and beets. Only a few crops, corn, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and potatoes suffer little damage from rabbits."

The challenge for manufacturers now is widescale adoption Adam Vaughan@adamvaughan_uk Wed 4 Nov 2015 08.00 EST11.39 ESTThis article is over 2 years old1,676 455Play Video0:00/0:00Loaded Progress Fullscreen Mute This video is no longer available. Video: Are hydrogen cars the answer to our pollution woes? The first mass production hydrogen cars, billed for more than a decade as a clean alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles but only glimpsed as concepts at automotive trade shows, have arrived on British roads. The most abundant element in the universe has added allure for carmakers in the wake of the Volkswagen pollution scandal and revelations about the gap between lab and real-world emissions tests. Leading the charge are South Korean manufacturer Hyundai, with a £53,000 “crossover” – a squashed SUV that looks like a normal car, and the world’s biggest carmaker, Toyota, with a futuristically styled saloon priced at £66,000. Honda has promised to launch its model in the UK during 2017.“The only emissions out of the back of the car is water, either as water vapour or droplets, so you have no CO2, no NOx, no particulates,” said Robin Hayles, manager of sustainable fuel development at Hyundai. “You have the advantages of petrol and diesel in terms of range, performance and refill times, and the advantages of an electric vehicle: zero emissions, very smooth to drive, and instant torque. ”The NOx pollution emitted by diesel engines – which VW’s 11m affected cars underplayed – has led to the UK breaching EU pollution safety limits since 2010. It is expected to be blamed for a doubling of the UK’s current 30,000 annual premature deaths from pollution in a report out next month."

"text": "Future Thinking Transport Sustainability Hydrogen cars: Ready for the roads? The technology for vehicles powered by fuel cells is established, and is set for market. However, the biggest challenge will be to make sure the fuel is available when the cars are available.27 March 2014Chris Hostetter, group vice president of strategic planning for Toyota Motor Sales, believes the automotive industry will change more in the next 10 years than the last 100 years. A century ago there was great competition among the different fuels and manufacturing. Today we are looking at non-carbon fuels, and non-combustion engines. We are beginning to see the early stages of what Hostetter call the “hydrogen economy”. The technology is established: hydrogen combined with oxygen in fuel cells creates the electricity that drives the car itself, with the output being water vapour. But one of biggest challenges is getting the infrastructure started – to make sure the fuel is available when the cars are available. It’s very difficult for the industry to move away from petrol to a new fuel format, and the investment in fuel is normally done by the fuel supplier. There is a diversity of fuels out there, but in terms of clean, sustainable fuels Hostetter says there are only two key technologies: electric cars and hydrogen cars."

Like it did with hybrid cars in 1997, Toyota is at the forefront of a revolution in vehicle technology. The Mirai is Toyota’s first mass-produced fuel cell vehicle, as close to the ultimate eco-car as we’ve got so far, and a vital step in solving the energy demands and emissions issues that come with traditional petrol and diesel-fuelled vehicles. Yet the new Mirai fuel cell vehicle is much more than the realisation of cutting-edge science theory. But how do fuel cell vehicles work? See also: First Toyota Mirai arrives in the UKToyota Mirai attracts 1,500 orders in its first month on sale Autocar calls Toyota Mirai “a huge technological achievement”Auto Express calls Toyota Mirai “a massive and game-changing success”What is a fuel cell? A fuel cell generates electricity by forcing a fuel to react with oxygen. The most commonly-used fuel today is hydrogen, but fuel cells can use almost any hydrocarbon including gas and alcohol. A constant supply of fuel and oxygen is required to sustain the reaction that produces the electricity."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen, if one considers water not to be an emission. It often uses electrochemical cells, or combustion in internal engines, to power vehicles and electric devices. It is also used in the propulsion of spacecraft and might potentially be mass-produced and commercialized for passenger vehicles and aircraft. Hydrogen lies in the first group and first period in the periodic table, i.e. it is the first element on the periodic table, making it the lightest element. Since hydrogen gas is so light, it rises in the atmosphere and is therefore rarely found in its pure form, H 2. [ 1] In a flame of pure hydrogen gas, burning in air, the hydrogen (H 2) reacts with oxygen (O 2) to form water (H 2 O) and releases energy.2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) → 2H 2 O (g) + energy If carried out in atmospheric air instead of pure oxygen, as is usually the case, hydrogen combustion may yield small amounts of nitrogen oxides, along with the water vapor. The energy released enables hydrogen to act as a fuel. In an electrochemical cell, that energy can be used with relatively high efficiency. If it simply is used for heat, the usual thermodynamics limits on the thermal efficiency apply. Since there is very little free hydrogen gas, hydrogen is in practice only an energy carrier, like electricity, not an energy resource. ["

Stephen Voller, chief executive of Cella Energy said he is confident the new fuel will work in existing cars Artificial petrol that costs 19p per litre could be on forecourts in as little as three years. British scientists are refining the recipe for a hydrogen-based fuel that will run in existing cars and engines at the fraction of the cost of conventional petrol. With hydrogen at its heart rather than carbon, it will not produce any harmful emissions when burnt, making it better for the environment, as well as easier on the wallet. The first road tests are due next year and, if all goes well, the cut-price ‘petrol’ could be on sale in three to five years. Professor Stephen Bennington, the project’s lead scientist, said: ‘In some senses, hydrogen is the perfect fuel. It has three times more energy than petrol per unit of weight, and when it burns, it produces nothing but water. ‘Our new hydrogen storage materials offer real potential for running cars, planes and other vehicles that currently use hydrocarbons. ’The fuel is expected to cost around $1.50 a gallon, or 19p a litre. Even with fuel taxes, the forecourt price is likely to be around 60p a litre – less than half the current cost."

That would be the 1985 Toyota pickup truck that Marty Mc Fly lusts after, and then ends up driving at the end of the movie. With Back to the Future Day celebrations in full swing, Toyota couldn’t resist reminding everyone of its role in the franchise. Toyota is doing a lot to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future (and mark the “future” day Marty Mc Fly and Doc Brown traveled to in Back to the Future Part II ), and that includes recreating Marty’s dream truck. Only this time, the truck being unveiled at Statler Toyota is a 2016 Tacoma. The recently revamped midsize truck goes retro to represent the state of automotive fashion in 1985. It wears a similar 1985 Toyota Truck paint color to the movie vehicle, has the same mud flaps, and even has backdated headlights and taillights. The word “Toyota” is also spelled out on the tailgate, and there are “D-4S” (fuel injection) badges, just like in the ’80s. Of course, the Back to the Future Toyota wasn’t stock, so neither is this one. It sports off-road suspension and Toyota Racing Development wheels, plus some delightfully retro off-road accessories."

Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity to power the motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. Most fuel cell vehicles are classified as zero-emissions vehicles that emit only water and heat. As compared with internal combustion vehicles, hydrogen vehicles centralize pollutants at the site of the hydrogen production, where hydrogen is typically derived from reformed natural gas. Transporting and storing hydrogen may also create pollutants. [ 1]Fuel cells have been used in various kinds of vehicles including forklifts, especially in indoor applications where their clean emissions are important to air quality, and in space applications. The first commercially produced hydrogen fuel cell automobiles began to be sold by Toyota and leased on a limited basis by Hyundai in 2015, with additional manufacturers planning to enter the market. The Toyota Mirai is sold in Japan, California, and in Europe. ["

Fuel cells can produce electricity continuously for as long as fuel and oxygen are supplied. The first fuel cells were invented in 1838. The first commercial use of fuel cells came more than a century later in NASA space programs to generate power for satellites and space capsules. Since then, fuel cells have been used in many other applications.

We’ll start with BMW, which announced its “i” sub-brand in 2011, and unveiled the first i-series model, the i3, in July 2013. Although Musk wasn’t very impressed by it, BMW’s Ludwig Willisch said the i3’s advantages, when compared with Tesla, are low factory emissions (BMW uses hydropower to produce the vehicle), a lightweight chassis (fewer than 3,000 pounds vs Tesla’s 4,600 pounds) and a significantly lower price tag ($35,325 vs $63,570). Although Tesla trumps the i3 in top speed (133 mph vs 93 mph), acceleration (0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds vs 8 seconds) and range (265 miles vs 99 miles), one must bear in mind that BMW’s model is marketed as a city car, so none of those stats mean much to the German car company’s target audience. BMWBMW i3A lesser-known brand is Sunswift’s e Ve, produced by Australian university students as a “demonstrator-of-feasibility.” ( And here’s another interesting concept .) The vehicle set a world record for fastest average speed (more than 60 mph) over 310 miles on a single battery charge."

"text": "Hydrogen Why hydrogen? Because hydrogen is a clean universal fuel that can be used to power cars, trucks, planes, trains, buses, boats and ships. Hydrogen can heat homes and commercial buildings, and generate electricity. Hydrogen can replace all forms of fossil fuels. A nation that has converted all of its power systems to run on hydrogen will no longer be dependent on oil because hydrogen can be extracted from water. Over 70% of the earth's surface is covered by the oceans of the world—the average ocean depth exceeds two miles. With modern technology—desalination and electrolysis—human civilization will never run out of water or hydrogen. Water molecules can be separated into pure hydrogen and oxygen through the process of Electrolysis—using electricity as the source of energy to drive the reaction. The electricity can be produced from many different carbon-free sources of energy such as wind, solar, biomass and geothermal as well as nuclear energy. A nation powered by hydrogen will be free to choose from many sources of energy, all of which will produce the one universal fuel: Hydrogen."

Car use, road freight and aviation are the principal contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector and this review focuses on approaches to reduce emissions from these three problem areas. An assessment of new technologies including alternative transport fuels to break the dependence on petroleum is presented, although it appears that technological innovation is unlikely to be the sole answer to the climate change problem. To achieve a stabilisation of greenhouse gas emissions from transport, behavioural change brought about by policy will also be required. Pressure is growing on policy makers to tackle the issue of climate change with a view to providing sustainable transport. Although, there is a tendency to focus on long-term technological solutions, short-term behavioural change is crucial if the benefits of new technology are to be fully realised. Previous article Next article Keywords Transport Climate change Behavioral change Technological change Aviation Freight Car ownership Alternative fuels1. Introduction Over the last century, the planet has metaphorically contracted as transport has developed to meet the demands of the populous. Global participation in this expansion has been disproportionate ( WBCSD, 2001) as the driving force for transport demand is ultimately economic growth, which in itself results in an increased need for travel. Although this link is gradually weakening ( Df T, 2004a ), there are few signs of a full breakdown in the unsustainable relationship between increasing incomes and transport emissions ( Schipper and Fulton, 2003 )."

Fuel cells can produce electricity continuously for as long as fuel and oxygen are supplied. The first fuel cells were invented in 1838. The first commercial use of fuel cells came more than a century later in NASA space programs to generate power for satellites and space capsules. Since then, fuel cells have been used in many other applications. Fuel cells are used for primary and backup power for commercial, industrial and residential buildings and in remote or inaccessible areas. They are also used to power fuel cell vehicles, including forklifts, automobiles, buses, boats, motorcycles and submarines."

He announced a $1.2 billion initiative to begin developing a national hydrogen infrastructure: a coast-to-coast network of facilities that would produce and distribute the hydrogen for powering hundreds of millions of fuel cell vehicles. Backed by a national commitment, he said, \"\"our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom, so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free.\"\" With two years to go on the first, $720 million phase of the plan, PM asks that perennial question of every automotive journey: Are we almost there? And the inevitable answer from the front seat: No. Promises of a thriving hydrogen economy — one that supports not only cars and trucks, but cellphones, computers, homes and whole neighborhoods — date back long before this presidency, and the road to fulfilling them stretches far beyond its horizon. The Department of Energy projects the nation's consumption of fossil fuels will continue to rise — increasing 34 percent by 2030. When burned, these carbon-based fuels release millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where the gas traps heat and is believed to contribute to global warming. At first glance, hydrogen would seem an ideal substitute for these problematic fuels. Pound for pound, hydrogen contains almost three times as much energy as natural gas, and when consumed its only emission is pure, plain water."

Most of us take oil, gasoline, coal and natural gas for granted, but they are actually quite miraculous. These fossil fuels represent stored solar energy from millions of years ago. Millions of years ago, plants grew using solar energy to power their growth. They died, and eventually turned into oil, coal and natural gas.

In years to come, hydrogen itself may become one of the most important fuels for cars as on burning it does not produce carbon dioxide, but there are major problems to be overcome before it can be used in this way. These include its manufacture, storage, distribution and how it can be used efficiently in cars. Figure 1 Uses of hydrogen. Annual production of hydrogen World 50 million tonnes Manufacture of hydrogen By far the most important process for making hydrogen is by steam reforming. The key parts of the process are the conversion of a carbon-containing material to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen followed by the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and the production of more hydrogen.

All thoughts, feeling & behavior ultimately have a biological cause. A biological perspective is relevant to the study of psychology in three ways:1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and compared. This can help in the search to understand human behavior.2. Physiology: how the nervous system and hormones work, how the brain functions, how changes in structure and/or function can affect behavior.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The nature versus nurture debate involves whether human behaviour is determined by the environment, either prenatal or during a person's life, or by a person's genes. The alliterative expression \"\"nature and nurture\"\" in English has been in use since at least the Elizabethan period [1] and goes back to medieval French. [ 2] The combination of the two concepts as complementary is ancient ( Greek: ἁπό φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας [3] ). Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure, experience and learning on an individual. [ 4]The phrase in its modern sense was popularized by the English Victorian polymath Francis Galton, the modern founder of eugenics and behavioral genetics, discussing the influence of heredity and environment on social advancement. [ 5] [6] [7] Galton was influenced by the book On the Origin of Species written by his half-cousin, Charles Darwin. The view that humans acquire all or almost all their behavioral traits from \"\"nurture\"\" was termed tabula rasa (\"\"blank slate\"\") by John Locke in 1690. A \"\"blank slate view\"\" in human developmental psychology assuming that human behavioral traits develop almost exclusively from environmental influences, was widely held during much of the 20th century (sometimes termed \"\"blank-slatism\"\"). The debate between \"\"blank-slate\"\" denial of the influence of heritability, and the view admitting both environmental and heritable traits, has often been cast in terms of nature versus nurture."

They act alike, look alike, and are expected to be \"\"identical.\"\" However, the term \"\"identical twins\"\" actually describes how the twins form, not what they look like. What Are Identical Twins? Identical twinning is officially described as monozygotic. Monozygotic twins form from a single (mono) fertilized egg (zygote). The zygote splits into two parts after conception, resulting in the development of two individual embryos. Because the two embryos are the result of a single egg/sperm combination, they have the same genetic origins and thus the same DNA.

All twins have a connection with their twin sibling. This connection could simply be blood, the connection that all siblings have, but evidence suggests that there can be a greater connection; twin telepathy. Twin telepathy is when one twin can “assess the thoughts or feelings” of another twin without the other twin giving them any signs (Fierro). Through telepathy a twin can sense what the other twin is thinking or feeling, even if they are not in the same place. It acts as a “sixth sense” between the twins, although there is scientific evidence and theories to back it up. In fact, it has been “documented by scientists and researchers alike” giving it more credibility than many seem to offer it (Deshmukh). Twin telepathy is a phenomenon that has mystified people for ages, yet there are still definite signs that it exists."

The findings contradict the existing belief among psychologists that the environment we grow up in plays a larger role than genetics in shaping our personality. Researchers from Edinburgh University studied more than 800 sets of identical and non-identical twins to learn whether genetics or upbringing has a greater effect on how successful people are in life. Twins are useful in such studies because almost all twins share the same home environment as each other, but only identical twins share exactly the same genetics. Participants were asked a series of questions about how they perceive themselves and others, such as \"\"are you influenced by people with strong opinions? \"\" Related Articles Identical twin's headaches lead to tumour discovery21 May 2012Self-confidence 'in the genes'02 Jul 2009Men brought up with women are less sexy22 Oct 2010By applying their answers to a well-established scale of psychological scale, researchers could assess and categorise different personality traits for each person. Writing in the Journal of Personality, the researchers found that identical twins were twice as likely as non-identical twins to share the same personality traits, suggesting that their DNA was having the greatest impact. Genetics were most influential on people's sense of self-control and also affected their social and learning abilities and their sense of purpose. Prof Timothy Bates, who led the study, said: \"\"Previously, the role of family and the environment around the home often dominated people's ideas about what affected psychological wellbeing."

His bloodshot eyes, bent forward posture and slight stature are indicative of years of hard living. His pain is readily apparent as he nervously shifts his weight from one foot, to the other and then back again. He rolls up his sleeve to scratch an unseen itch, briefly revealing a patchwork of new and old needle marks along the veins of his forearms; intermeshed with a few cigarette burns and dry, yellowing skin. How did he get this way you might ask? What is it about this particular man that caused him to become an addict? The Genetic Element Today many people would say “his genes” predisposed him to become an addict. Addiction has historically been known as a disease that runs in families, and in the past 30 or 40 years, this long-standing belief has been verified using systematic scientific investigation. The bulk of the research suggests that drug dependence functions much like other diseases, with certain people having a genetic makeup that increases their risk.

Researchers have used twin studies to try to disentangle the environmental and genetic backgrounds of a cornucopia of traits, from aggression to intelligence to schizophrenia to alcohol dependence. But despite the popularity of twin studies, some psychologists have long questioned assumptions that underlie them--like the supposition that fraternal and identical twins share equal environments or that people choose mates with traits unlike their own. The equal environments assumption, for example, has been debated for at least 40 years. Many researchers have found evidence that the assumption is valid, but others remain skeptical (see Further Reading below). Overall, twin studies assumptions remain controversial, says psychologist James Jaccard, Ph D, a psychologist who studies statistical methods at the University at Albany of the State University of New York.

In a 1991 study, Bailey and Pillard conducted a study of twins recruited from \"\"homophile publications\"\", and found that 52% of monozygotic (MZ) brothers (of whom 59 were questioned) and 22% of the dizygotic (DZ) twins were concordant for homosexuality. [ 5] 'MZ' indicates identical twins with the same sets of genes and 'DZ' indicates fraternal twins where genes are mixed to an extent similar to that of non-twin siblings. In a study of 61 pairs of twins, researchers found among their mostly male subjects a concordance rate for homosexuality of 66% among monozygotic twins and a 30% one among dizygotic twins. [ 6] In 2000 Bailey, Dunne and Martin studied a larger sample of 4,901 Australian twins but reported less than half the level of concordance. [ 7] They found 20% concordance in the male identical or MZ twins and 24% concordance for the female identical or MZ twins."

Answer by Nsavage44 Confidence votes 417Monozygotic twins are two offspring that have identical DNA. This is because they arose from one zygote (hence monozygotic). Both of the offspring came from this zygote which at a particular time spilt. After the split, each individual had a copy of the original DNAWas this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Englishangel 11,418 Contributions If the word monozygotic means identical twins with an egg split is there such a word as polyzyogotic or multizyogotic meaning many identical twins?

Genes are the biochemical units of heredity that make up chromosomes, the threadlike coils of DNA. When genes are \"\"turned on\"\" (expressed), they provide the code for creating the proteins that form our body's building blocks. Most human traits are influenced by many genes acting together. Behavior geneticists seek to quantify genetic and environmental influences on our traits, in part through studies of identical (monozygotic) twins, fraternal (dizygotic) twins, and adoptive families. Shared family environments have little effect on personality, and the stability of temperament suggests a genetic predisposition. What is the promise of molecular genetics research? Molecular geneticists study the molecular structure and function of genes, including those that affect behavior."

Genetics is the structure and the function of genes and the way in which genes are passed from one generation to another. Genetics also involves the study of how genetic make up of a person influence its physical and behavioral characteristics. Genetics related are the principle of heredity which is the sum of the traits and tendencies inherited from one's parents and other biological ancestors. Behavioural Genetic The biological structure is intimately related to the human behaviour that is why genetic inheritance which shapes the structure may have much to do with behaviour. Most physical characteristics such as height, hair color, blood type and eye color are largely shaped by heredity. What about other characteristics such as intelligence, moodiness, impulsiveness and shyness? To what extent does human behaviors is influenced by genetics?"

"text": "\"Identical Twins or Fraternal Twins? Are they identical twins or fraternal twins and what is the difference? This is certainly one of the MOST asked questions by parents of twins and the general public in regard to twin zygosity. Identical Twins Identical twins (monozygotic) occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. They almost always share the same placenta but may also have two separate placentas. Depending on when the egg splits usually determines if identical twins will share the same placenta, and/or chorions and amnions. Twins are always identical when they share the same amnion and chorion (known as Monoamniotic -Monochorionic). The split will most often take place within the first few days in this type of pregnancy."

Brad Thomas , Contributor Stack of original pancakes (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Founded in 1953 in Lakewood, California, the Denny’s chain has evolved into a globally recognized restaurant brand. The chain was acquired by TW Corp. in 1987 and it 1992 TW Corp. and its private equity partner (KKR), decided to sell non-core businesses and the sole remaining brand was renamed Denny’s Corp. Today Denny’s ( DENN) has grown to significant scale with around 1,685 restaurants in 50 states and 9 countries (compared with 1,550 IHOP stores–which is owned by Dine Equity–and more than 600 Cracker Barrel stores). The strength of Denny’s brand has been the growth of the company’s strategic franchise model where the Spartanburg, South Carolina based operator has more than 265 franchisees with an average of 10 years of experience (with Denny’s). As a result of the franchise-based growth, Denny’s has expanded the restaurant brand by adding almost 250 units over the last three years. With a current franchise base of 88 percent, Denny’s is targeting a franchise model that includes 90 percent franchisees and 10 percent company-owned stores. As the largest family dining chain (in units), Denny’s targeted franchise model is distinguished by a stronger balance sheet with increased financial flexibility. Currently there is no franchise group that makes up more than 5 percent of the portfolio and 31 of the largest operators make up around 50 percent of system revenue. Since 2007, Denny’s has added 50 new franchisees including franchise operators with other high-quality quick-service chains like Jack In The Box and Carl’s Jr. The growth in the Denny’s brand has been an aggressive combination of both traditional and non-traditional expansion."

S. has seen 10 different presidents and many things have evolved at IHOP restaurants – and yet buttermilk pancakes remain the most popular item on the menu. Coinciding with the anniversary, IHOP has updated its logo, which is devoted to the brand's commitment to keeping guests happy, and has introduced a \"\"Summer of Smiles\"\" program with multiple activities planned to celebrate members of the community and organizations which have devoted countless hours toward philanthropic endeavors that make others smile. \"\" The great service, delicious food, and wonderful experiences at IHOP restaurants have been making guests smile for 57 years,\"\" said Kirk Thompson, vice president, marketing, IHOP. \"\" And while our beaming new logo perfectly captures our heritage of happiness, our 57 th Anniversary celebration takes it a step further celebrating the generosity of others in their endeavors to make those less fortunate smile. \"\" Other notable changes over the years include IHOP restaurant's growth to 1,650 restaurants in 11 countries and U. S. territories, and the brand's ongoing creation of mouth-watering and innovative menu items, such as Criss-Croissants™ and Waffullicious Waffles.

"text": "\"Mmmmmmm....pancakes. I LOVE pancakes The pancake (now commonly referred to as flapjack, griddle cake, hotcakes and crepes) is a close relative to the heathen devil's food, the waffle. Contrary to the utter nonsense found on the waffle page, the pancake is infinitely better than the waffle. The pancake was invented by the Dutch, who unlike their Belgian neighbors (who invented the waffle), were first to come up with the idea of putting a flour-based batter on a hot griddle. They also invented the term \"\"Smoke and a pancake? \"\" Contents [ show]edit Why pancakes are better than waffles Pancakes come in many sizes Pancakes outnumber the waffle 5 to one. At diners, you can get a whole stack of five, fluffy, buttermilk pancakes for the price of one rock-hard Belgian waffle that was probably frozen. Unlike its cratered cousin, the waffle, it is superior in its ability to act like a sponge. It can absorb the syrup with which it is often covered — or wipe up many other common kitchen spills — whereas the waffle simply forces the sweet, viscous liquid into the confined nooks covering its top and bottom surfaces. Pancakes come in a wider variety of shapes and sizes; whereas most waffles tend to be either circular or rectangular (with perforations), or occasionally in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head."

Here are the stories of the humble beginnings of 11 chain restaurants.1. Applebee’s The world’s largest casual dining chain celebrated 30 years of eatin’ good in the neighborhood in 2010. The original Applebee’s, which was named T. J. Applebee's Rx for Edibles & Elixirs, opened in Atlanta in 1980. The founders of the original restaurant, including Bill and T. J. Palmer, wanted to name the restaurant Appleby’s, but that spelling had already been registered. Cinnamon’s and Peppers, two other names considered, were taken as well. The Palmers settled on T. J. Applebee’s, which was just different enough from their first choice. “ Menu items ranging from munchies to steak and quail are served at round, high-topped tables on platforms,” read one newspaper review from 1981. A second location was opened in Atlanta before T. J. Palmer’s ownership group sold the restaurant concept in 1983. The name was changed to Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill in 1986 and became the first casual dining chain to hit 1,000 locations in 1998."

"text": "\"Introduction/Executive Summary An injury and illness prevention program, 1 is a proactive process to help employers find and fix workplace hazards before workers are hurt. We know these programs can be effective at reducing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Many workplaces have already adopted such approaches, for example as part of OSHA's cooperative programs. Not only do these employers experience dramatic decreases in workplace injuries, but they often report a transformed workplace culture that can lead to higher productivity and quality, reduced turnover, reduced costs, and greater employee satisfaction. Thirty-four states and many nations around the world already require or encourage employers to implement such programs. The key elements common to all of these programs are management leadership, worker participation, hazard identification and assessment, hazard prevention and control, education and training, and program evaluation and improvement. Based on the positive experience of employers with existing programs, OSHA believes that injury and illness prevention programs provide the foundation for breakthrough changes in the way employers identify and control hazards, leading to a significantly improved workplace health and safety environment. Adoption of an injury and illness prevention program will result in workers suffering fewer injuries, illnesses and fatalities. In addition, employers will improve their compliance with existing regulations, and will experience many of the financial benefits of a safer and healthier workplace cited in published studies and reports by individual companies, including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums. Background In the four decades since the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) was signed into law, workplace deaths and reported occupational injuries have dropped by more than 60 percent."

"text": "\"Organizational Safety Culture - Linking patient and worker safety /Organizational Safety Culture - Linking patient and worker safety - Expanded Version Organizational Safety Culture - Linking patient and worker safety The burden and cost of poor patient safety, a leading cause of death in the United States, has been well-documented and is now a major focus for most healthcare institutions. Less well-known is the elevated incidence of work-related injury and illness among healthcare workers and the enormous toll of injury and illness on the workers, their families, healthcare institutions, and ultimately on patient safety. These lamentable circumstances occur side-by-side under, quite literally, the same roof. It is not surprising that, for better or for worse, that patient and worker safety often go hand-in-hand, they share the same foundation – organizational safety culture. With the publication of the Institute of Medicine\"\"s seminal public health report in 1999, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health Care System 1, patient safety, or \"\"quality of care\"\" became a national priority. The IOM committee stated its belief that a safer environment for patients would also be a safer environment for workers and vice versa, because both are tied to many of the same underlying cultural and systemic issues. As cases in point, hazards to health care workers because of lapses in infection control, fatigue, or faulty equipment may result in injury or illness not only to workers but also to patients and others in the institution. Workers who are concerned for their safety or physical or psychological health – who must constantly make accommodations to a work environment in which their safety and health is not seen as a priority, will not be able to provide error-free care to patients. It is clear that efforts to reduce the rate of medical error will not be successful if they are not linked with efforts to prevent work-related injury and illness. Several studies have found organizational factors to be the most significant predictor of safe work behaviors."

All workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents must be reported immediately to the workplace supervisor. This includes those affecting students, visitors, and contractors at Carleton University. Reports are to be submitted through the CU Work Safe. PLEASE NOTE: CU Work Safe eliminates the need for supervisors to fill out the previously used “ Supervisor’s Injury/Incident Reporting and Investigation Form ” and/or WSIB Form 7. These forms do not need to be completed by the supervisor once a report has been submitted through CU Work Safe. Employee Login Guest Portal Report Types Good Catch A good catch refers to any situation in which a hazard COULD lead to incident, injury or illness if not remedied. By reporting the concern, EHS is able to find a solution to reduce the risk of future injuries or illnesses. All members of the Carleton community share a responsibility to report hazards as they present themselves. Examples include: clutter (poor housekeeping), uneven pavement leading to a tripping hazard, risky behaviours, property damage, and anything else that could lead to injury."

Some chiropractors use procedures such as massage therapy, rehabilitative exercise, and ultrasound in addition to spinal adjustments and manipulation. They also may apply supports, such as braces or shoe inserts, to treat patients and relieve pain. In addition to operating a general chiropractic practice, some chiropractors specialize in areas such as sports, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, or nutrition, among others."

Munchausen syndrome is a mental disorder that causes a person with a deep-seated need for attention to fake sickness or injury. Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) is a disorder in which the caretaker of a child either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it appear as though the child is injured or ill. The term “by proxy” means “through a substitute.” Though MSP is primarily a mental illness, it’s also considered a form of child abuse. Many people with MSP exaggerate or lie about a child’s symptoms to get attention. They may also create symptoms by poisoning food, withholding food, or causing an infection. Some people may even have a child undergo painful or risky tests and procedures to try to gain sympathy from their family members or community. It’s also believed that people with MSP may enjoy the satisfaction of deceiving people whom they perceive to be more powerful than themselves, particularly medical professionals. MSP can affect anyone, but it’s most commonly seen in mothers of children under age 6."

"text": "Tax Tips on Child Care Expenses You may claim child-care expenses to reduce your tax if you or your spouse pays to have someone look after your children so that you can:earn income from employment or self-employment;attend full-time or part-time, in an educational program offered by a secondary school, college, university, or other designated educational institution; orcarry on research or similar work for which a grant was received. The maximum annual deduction available to parents is $7,000 per year for each child under 7 on December 31 and $4,000 per year for each child from the ages of 7 to 16. There is no age limit if you have a disabled child, and you could be able to claim up to $10,000. In most cases the supporting person (not necessarily the parent) with the lowest net income before the childcare deduction is the only person that may claim the expenses. Interestingly, claiming childcare may be beneficial even if one of the spouses has no tax to pay. Claiming the deduction could increase the spousal/common law amount available (maximum $10,382 in 2010). Child care expenses are not deductible if paid to the child’s father or mother, or to any person under 18 who is related to you by a blood relationship, marriage, or adoption. This includes your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s child, brother, sister, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law. Nieces, nephews, aunts, or uncles are not considered related persons for this expense. The expenses have to be for services rendered in 2011."

"text": "\"Resident Alien vs. Legal Permanent Resident A person is a resident, for tax purposes, if the person is a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States at any time during the calendar year. This is known as the \"\"green card\"\" test. A person is a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States, at any time, if the person has been given the privilege, according to the immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant. This status is generally given if the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued an alien registration card, also known as a \"\"green card.\"\" A person continues to have resident status, under this test, unless it is voluntarily renounced and abandoned in writing to the USCIS, or the immigrant status is administratively terminated by the USCIS, or the immigrant status is judicially terminated by a U. S. federal court. If a person meets the green card test at anytime during the calendar year, but does not meet the substantial presence test for that year, the residency starting date is the first day on which the person is present in the United States as a Lawful Permanent Resident. However, an alien who has been present in the United States at any time during a calendar year as a Lawful Permanent Resident may choose to be treated as a resident alien for the entire calendar year. Resident Alien For Tax Purposes The IRS wants a person to be treated as an RA for tax purposes from their first day of presence in the year that they will pass the Substantial Presence Test (SPT.) The SPT determines when an NRA becomes an RA for tax purposes. Resident aliens can use the same filing statuses available to U. S. citizens."

"text": "\"Tax-Qualified and Non-Tax-Qualified Long Term Care Insurance Policiesby Free Advice staff Long term care insurance policies are either \"\"tax-qualified\"\" or \"\"non-tax-qualified,\"\" and there are important differences between the two. These differences are defined by federal legislation – the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). A federally tax-qualified long term care insurance policy, often referred to as a qualified policy, offers certain federal income tax advantages to the purchaser. If you have a qualified long term care policy, and you itemize deductions, you may be able to deduct part, or all, of the premium. It works this way: you add your total policy premium to your other deductible medical expenses, and if the total for the year is greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you may be able to deduct the excess amount on your federal income tax return. The maximum amount that you can claim as a deduction depends on your age, as shown in the following table for calendar year 2008 ( Publication 553)YOUR AGE YOU CAN CLAIM40 years old or younger 41--50 51--60 61—70 71 or older MAX AMT$310 $580 $1,150 $3.080 $3,850As you can see, the potential deductible amount for premium paid becomes rather significant at older ages. In addition to premium deductibility, you need to know whether benefits received under the policy are taxable. Generally speaking, benefits paid by a qualified long term care insurance policy are not taxable as income to the recipient, but benefits from a long term care insurance policy that is not qualified may be taxable as income. The government has yet to clarify this area of the law. Among other requirements, a qualified plan must cover only qualified long term care services (although a life insurance policy that provides long term care insurance may be an exception)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Chart 1: House Price Index and CPI. Source ABSThe Australian property bubble is the ongoing debate in Australia as to whether or not the Australian property market is significantly overpriced, and due for a significant downturn (also called a \"\"correction\"\" or \"\"collapse\"\"). The debate has been ongoing since at least 2001, with Australian property prices continuing to rise. Some commentators, including one Treasury official, [1] claim the Australian property market is in a significant bubble. Various industry professionals have argued that it is not a bubble and that house prices have the potential to keep rising in line with income growth. Some commentators have blamed rising property prices on state governments' restrictions on land supply, driving up the cost of land, lots, and thus homes. [ 2] Some have also blamed planning rules as acting to restrain supply of housing. A property bubble is a form of economic bubble normally characterised by a rapid increase in market prices of real property until they reach unsustainable levels relative to incomes and rents, and then decline. Australian house prices rose strongly relative to incomes and rents during the late 1990s and early 2000s; however, from 2003 to 2012 the price to income ratio and price to rent ratio have both remained fairly steady, with house prices tracking income and rent growth during that decade. Since 2012 prices have once again risen strongly relative to incomes and rents. ["

ANNUAL INCOME-WHAT IS INCLUDED1. Question: What amounts must I consider or include in the determination of a family's annual income? Answer: When determining a family's annual income, PHAs must consider all amounts, monetary or not, including the full amount, before any payroll deductions, of wages and salaries, overtime pay, commissions, fees, tips and bonuses, compensation for personal services, and more, as defined in 24 CFR 5.609. Annual income is a family's anticipated total or gross income minus allowable exclusions (e.g., TOTAL/GROSS INCOME - EXCLUSIONS = ANNUAL INCOME).2. Question: If a tenant's Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is reduced to make up for a prior overpayment, what amount should the tenant's annual income include? For example, the tenant should receive $600 per month, but due to the discovery of a prior overpayment of $300, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reduces the tenant's SSI benefits to $540 per month for 5 months. Should the PHA calculate the family's income based on the number of months the family will receive $540 in SSI payments and the number of months the family will receive $600 in SSI payments during the period covered by the reexamination. Answer: Yes. After obtaining and documenting in the family file third-party verification of annual income and the reason for the payment reduction ( 24 CFR 960.259 (c) and 24 CFR 982.516 (a) (2) ), the PHA should calculate the family's annual income using the $540 net amount for the five months, and then conduct an interim reexamination when the reduction ends because of the change in the family's income."

The ideal time to start is eight to 10 weeks before the last frost in your area. Fill seed flats with a sterile seed-starting mix that you have moistened. It should be damp but not wet. Impatiens seeds are very tiny, so scatter them over the surface and press down lightly. If you’ve used flats from a seed-starting kit, just cover them with the plastic cover that came with this. If you’re sowing into containers that you are reusing, be sure they are sterile (wash them in water with detergent and a little bleach), and cover them with plastic wrap after sowing, or put the entire flat into a clear plastic bag.

Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) produce colorful blooms in orange, pink, purple, blue, red and white.

Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 10 through 11. In other zones, treat them as annuals or bring them indoors for winter. Besides the flowers, grow impatiens for another reason -- their rabbit resistance. Rabbit Resistance Universities and botanical gardens tout impatiens plants as being rabbit-resistant. But rabbits have been known to take a nibble. This may be more of an issue with newly planted impatiens than with established plants because rabbits have a tendency to try new things. Use protective netting on new plants to protect them until they become more established."

Therefore, taking preventative measures beforehand by providing appropriate conditions and being aware of the most common problems with impatiens flowers is crucial. Environmental and Cultural Impatiens Problems One of the most common problems with impatiens flowers is wilting. This is usually due to moisture stress. These plants need to be kept consistently moist, but not soggy. Water stress can also cause leaf and flower/bud drop. In addition to watering, wilting can be a result of heat stress, especially if the plants are in too much sun. If feasible, they should be moved or grown in a shadier location. Other impatiens problems are due to fertilization. Although they require little in the way of fertilizer each spring, not enough may lead to mottled looking foliage."

How to Make Impatiens Bushier When choosing blooming annuals for your sunny garden, you may have tried New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) and found them showy and colorful but intolerant of strong sunlight. A relatively new impatiens, called Sun Patiens (Impatiens x hybrida \"\"Sun Patiens\"\" series), has the showiness of the New Guinea type but can stand strong sunlight. Giving Sun Patiens plants some ordinary care and occasional pruning can help to ensure they are attractive, colorful and bushy all season. Characteristics Sun Patiens plants are the result of hybridization between New Guinea impatiens and the common, shade-loving impatiens (I. walleriana). Sun Patiens have deep-green foliage and produce masses of 2- to-3-inch wide flowers that are white, red, orange and magenta. The plants are grouped into three types: \"\"Landscape\"\" Sun Patiens, named for their bushy, 2- to 3-foot tall form, \"\"Spreading\"\" Sun Patiens, which tend to creep as ground cover and are useful in hanging baskets, and \"\"Compact,\"\" which includes 18-inch tall plants that grow as tight mounds. Pruning All types of Sun Patiens plants benefit from pruning and pinching back at several times during their growing season. When planting seedlings, you can stimulate the plants to become especially bushy by pinching back each growing stem by about one-third. One or two months later, after the plants have bloomed for a while, they may become leggy, especially if they are shaded for part of each day."

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

Keep watering and they will begin to bloom again when the weather cools. This is another good reason to use organic mulch since it cools the soil and keeps the blooms coming longer. Wilting may also indicate that the plants are struggling in too much sun for too long each day. Water well and, if it is early in the season, transplant young plants to a shadier site. Excessive Foliage, Few Flowers Means Overfeeding Impatiens rarely need much fertilizer. An overdose of liquid fertilizer which is quick-acting, will give them too much nitrogen all at once. They are stimulated to produce abundant foliage, so they have little energy left to produce flowers. This tender foliage also attracts aphids and other insects. Use a slow-acting, granular product sparingly, in the spring."

The annual variety is easier to grow from seed, so choose the appropriate annual seed for your specific growing conditions. Start germinating your impatiens seeds eight to 10 weeks prior to the last frost. The first flowers should bloom within eight to 10 weeks of sowing the seed.

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

When grown as a bedding plant, they create mounds of rich green foliage covered with abundant blooms, making them the top selling bedding plant in the United States, according to the University of Vermont. Routine care includes providing deep weekly watering, adequate nutrients and occasional pruning. Pinch or prune impatiens when they are 4 to 6 inches high by pinching off new growth on the ends of branches. Use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze out center leaves. This forces new growth to sprout along the branch and creates a compact plant with dense foliage capable of supporting abundant blooms. Repeat the procedure in three weeks, pinching out the center leaves on new growth to encourage further branching."

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Prevent Rabbits from Eating Impatiens By Heather Vecchioni; Updated September 21, 2017Impatiens, visually popular garden flowers, sometimes become food for rabbits, which can ruin a season’s worth of hard work in just a few minutes. Impatiens are known as rabbit-resistant plants, but rabbits nevertheless sometimes eat the delicate flowers' petals and leaves. Providing protection from rabbits for your impatiens can be challenging, but the sight of beautiful, healthy and whole impatiens in your flower garden is worth the effort. Apply a hot pepper spray to the plants. Available at many gardening stores, hot pepper spray causes a burning sensation in the rabbit’s mouth. This may discourage a rabbit from repeat visits. Most of the sprays are simply applied to the leaves and flowers of the plant, but read the label’s directions. Sprinkle dried blood around the impatiens. The blood’s scent is typically off-putting to rabbits and will keep them from going near the plant. The nutrients in the blood are also often beneficial to the plant and will melt into the soil."

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

Impatiens like shade and moisture. Planting Plant impatiens transplants after the last spring frost. See your local frost dates. Impatiens prefer humus-rich, moist, and well-drained soil. Make sure the plants have some shelter from the wind. The closer impatiens plants are, the taller they will grow, so space accordingly (impatiens plants can grown anywhere between 6 and 30 inches tall). For flower beds, plant 8 to 12 inches apart so the plants will stay low to the ground. You can mix in compost or a slow-release fertilizer before transplanting to help the plants."

Synonyms Impatiens biflora Walter Impatiens fulva Nutt. Impatiens capensis, the orange jewelweed, common jewelweed, spotted jewelweed, spotted touch-me-not, [1] or orange balsam, [2] is an annual plant native to North America. It is common in bottomland soils, ditches, and along creeks, often growing side-by-side with its less common relative, yellow jewelweed ( I. pallida ). Flowers and leaves Jewelweed plants grow 3 to 5 feet tall and bloom from late spring to early fall. The flowers are orange (or rarely yellow) with a three-lobed corolla; one of the calyx lobes is colored similarly to the corolla and forms a hooked conical spur at the back of the flower. Plants may also produce non-showy cleistogamous flowers, which do not require cross-pollination. [ 3] The stems are somewhat translucent, succulent, and have swollen or darkened nodes (on only some plants). The seed pods are pendant and have projectile seeds that explode out of the pods when they are lightly touched, if ripe, which is where the name 'touch-me-not' comes from. The leaves appear to be silver or 'jeweled' when held underwater, which is possibly where the jewelweed name comes from."

Since then, many cultivars were developed to improve the plants' performance there. New Guinea impatiens often are grown as annuals, but they can be grown as perennials in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12. Because hybrid plants, such as most New Guinea impatiens, do not grow true from seed, which means they may not resemble the parent plant, cuttings is the main method in which they are propagated. Begin the propagation process by taking cuttings the correct way so they are more likely to root and grow well.1Water the New Guinea impatiens the day before you take the cuttings, providing the water at the base of the plants. If the impatiens are in a garden, give them 1 inch of water. If they are in a container, water them until the water seeps out their container's drainage holes. Watering at the base of the plants prevents fungal diseases from forming on foliage.2Mix one part bleach with nine parts water in a bucket, creating a 10-percent bleach solution. Wear plastic gloves while using bleach and the bleach solution."

Impatiens seeds are very tiny, so scatter them over the surface and press down lightly. If you’ve used flats from a seed-starting kit, just cover them with the plastic cover that came with this. If you’re planting in containers that you are reusing, be sure they are sterile (wash them in water with detergent and a little bleach), and cover them with plastic wrap after sowing, or put the entire flat into a clear plastic bag.

Because of its beautiful blooms, it is a popular plant for hanging baskets. Some gardeners like to put these out on the porch or patio during the warmer months and then bring them inside during the winter. One of the most important things to keep in mind about impatiens, however, is they do not like too much harsh sunlight. Wherever you place this plant, indoors or out, you should make sure that it is shaded during the hotter parts of the day. Purchase several (two to three) impatiens starter plants from your local garden store or start impatiens from seed at home. If starting from seed, plant impatiens seed shallowly (barely covered with soil) in small pots or flats filled with regular potting soil. The seeds are pretty small and it is fine to plant many at once in case some don’t produce. Keep seeds warm (do not store them in a cold room or they will not germinate) and moist. When plants are at least two to three inches tall, you can pot them in larger pots."

When grown as a bedding plant, they create mounds of rich green foliage covered with abundant blooms, making them the top selling bedding plant in the United States, according to the University of Vermont. Routine care includes providing deep weekly watering, adequate nutrients and occasional pruning. Pinch or prune impatiens when they are 4 to 6 inches high by pinching off new growth on the ends of branches. Use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze out center leaves. This forces new growth to sprout along the branch and creates a compact plant with dense foliage capable of supporting abundant blooms. Repeat the procedure in three weeks, pinching out the center leaves on new growth to encourage further branching."

"text": "\"Are Incandescents still being phased-out?by Christina Crow-Dufault 28 December, 2011 11:25On December 16th, Congress passed a new spending bill that contained a provision that would block the Department of Energy (DOE) from enforcing new energy-efficient standards for certain types of light bulbs. As you might recall, the \"\"incandescent bulb phase-out\"\" stems from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). A section of this Act has adopted the title of \"\"Incandescent ban\"\" over the last few years, except it is not really a ban at all. It simply states that certain classes of lamps will be phased-out to meet new energy efficiency standards mandated by law. We have outlined the new standards in our Learning Section, if you need a refresher. The passing of this bill has caused a lot of confusion regarding the phase-out. The truth is, the 100 watt incandescent will still begin it's scheduled phase-out starting January 2012. The EISA of 2007 efficiency standards have not been repealed and are still the law. The only effect that the bill has on the DOE is that they do not have funding to enforce the law until October 2012. Since EISA was signed into law in 2007, lighting manufacturers have invested heavily in R&D and production line modifications to develop products that will meet the new efficiency standards come January."

"text": "Certain colors in light rays are important for proper plant growth. Leaves reflect and derive little energy from many of the yellow and green rays of the visible spectrum. Yet the red and blue parts of the light spectrum are the most important energy sources for plants, and plants require more rays from the red range than from the blue. Plants growing outdoors, in greenhouses or close to windows are exposed to a natural balance of the blue and red light rays that plants need. Where plants receive little or no natural light, you must provide additional light from artificial sources. Most people are familiar with the incandescent light produced by ordinary light bulbs in our homes. As a single light source for plants, these bulbs are not particularly good. They are a good source of red rays but a poor source of blue. They produce too much heat for most plants and, if used, must be kept away from the plants, thus reducing the intensity of the light the plants receive. They are also about three times less efficient than fluorescent tubes inconverting electrical energy to light."

The filament is visible as the mostly horizontal line between the vertical supply wires. An SEM image of the tungsten filament of an incandescent light bulb. An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a wire filament heated to such a high temperature that it glows with visible light ( incandescence ). The filament is protected from oxidation with a glass or fused quartz bulb that is filled with inert gas or a vacuum. In a halogen lamp, filament evaporation is slowed by a chemical process that redeposits metal vapor onto the filament, thereby extending its life. The light bulb is supplied with electric current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass. Most bulbs are used in a socket which provides mechanical support and electrical connections. Incandescent bulbs are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, light output, and voltage ratings, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment, have low manufacturing costs, and work equally well on either alternating current or direct current."

In doing so, they put the age of inefficient incandescent lighting on notice. The law mandated strict new energy standards designed to kick-start a new era of greener, longer-lasting, more cost-efficient light bulbs -- and that meant kicking outdated, inefficient bulbs to the curb. The rising standards have already long rendered 100W and 75W incandescents obsolete, and in 2014, their 60W and 40W cousins met the same fate. Congressional budget waffling briefly seemed to put the new standards on hold, but it was largely too late -- the industry had already moved on, and wasn't interested in reversing course. Related links LED MVPs: These brainy bulbs make the cut CNET'S Best LEDs of 2018The best smart bulbs to use with Alexa In other words, the age of the LED is here, and you only need travel so far as your local lighting aisle to see the change. With all of the new options out there (not to mention the disappearance of some important old ones), finding the perfect bulb can seem pretty daunting. New lights that promise to last 20 years and save you hundreds of dollars might sound good in theory, but how do you know which one is the right one for you? How do you know the bulb you're buying is going to be bright enough? What about color temperature?"

"text": "3-way LED bulb teardown and why you should consider them June 19, 2014 by Margery Conner The Cree 3-way LED bulb (L); the Cree 100W-equivalent (M); the Cree 60W-equivalent (R). When Cree came out with their 3-way bulb a couple of weeks ago, I thought, big deal. They already make a 60W- and a 100W-equivalent LED bulb, so a 3-way just sort of smushes them all into the same bulb. But then I read how Cree said that it was the second most requested LED product, and I remembered my intense dislike of phase-cut dimming switches. Perhaps 3-way lights could be another work around for dimming, as was the dim-on-rapid-switch approach (which so far I haven’t seen take off), whereas 3-ways are apparently already popular with some consumers. Hmmm. So I got my hands on a Cree 3-way ( $22, Home Depot; AFAIK not eligible for rebates) and switched it on, noticing the very obvious visual difference between the three light levels: 320 lm (30W-equivalent); 820 lm (60W-equivalent); and 1620 lm (100W-equivalent). Cree says that in the old incandescent 3-way bulbs, the common 30W/70W/100W was not too useful because, while the human eye can easily see a difference between 30W of incandescent light and 70W, the difference between 70W and 100W is barely discernible. Because of the way the incandescent bulb and the lamp fixtures switch works, incandescent bulbs are constrained to the brightest light being the sum of the two lower lights. Here’s a brief summary of how the switch works: A 3-way incandescent bulb has two separate filaments, most commonly a 30W and a 70W filaments."

"text": "How long do halogen headlights last? Prev NEXTHeadlights are reflected on the rain slick freeway during a storm in Inglewood, Calif. AP Photo /Phil Mc Carten Halogen headlights are simply older-style incandescent lights -- the ones that use a filament to produce light -- with a more efficient twist in the form of halogen gas. Their lifespan ranges from 450 to 1,000 hours. Why such a wide range? Well, it's all about the heat (which the halogen light produces in great quantities) and efficiency (which the system lacks). The halogen bulb is still an incandescent bulb, like the kind of light Edison invented, at its heart. In any incandescent light electricity is forced through a tungsten filament. The filament resists the electricity and heats up. As heat and light are essentially the same thing from a physics standpoint, light is created. This is a very inefficient system, however."

"text": "\"GU24 sockets- the future, or a just a mis-step? Published on April 24, 2014Rob Bruck Follow Sign in to follow this author President at Innovations in Lighting Updated 8-11-2014Introduced as an easy solution for compliance with California's Title 24 energy requirements, these sockets were to herald a next generation of lighting in the US, however the matching national legislation stalled in committee and now seems permanently tabled. With the phase out of inefficient incandescent bulbs, and the fast-rise of LED's as an alternative to fluorescents, this type of legislation would no longer seem to be required, and sales at the retail level bear this out (all incandescent bulbs, including specialty bulbs such as halogen and 3-way, have seen a steep drop-off as consumers embrace the more efficient options). This begs the question- when do you use the socket, and are there times when you should avoid it? Does it have any advantages over a typical medium base socket? Or should its use be limited to code compliance issues such as in California? ( update 8/11/14: there are now several proposals to phase out the GU24 requirement in California, and replace it with more end-user friendly options). From a design perspective, the bulbs and sockets are smaller (shorter), so this can be an attractive feature in key instances where space is of paramount importance such as smaller shades, ADA compliant wall sconces, or close to ceiling flushmounted fixtures. Jowever they are also more expensive bulbs (due to smaller scale of production) and are not well stocked in most localities (even in California, the difference in selection of medium base bulbs on the shelf, compared to GU24 is staggering). This is really an issue of history and economics: medium base sockets are sometimes called \"\"Edison\"\" base since it is much the same socket Thomas Edison developed in the 1800's, so considering the existing products already in service, it could take decades for GU24 bulbs to catch up in terms of usage and popularity (which now seems less and less likely)."

"text": "Top Home Lighting Options for Migraine Sufferers Jun 22 2016Written By Deborah Abrams Kaplan If you suffer from migraines, changing your home lighting might reduce the number of these headaches. Migraines produce a pulsating pain, making the person sensitive to light, and sometimes, sound. Migraines can cause nausea and interfere with daily activities. While there are many suspected triggers for migraines, including alcohol, stress, lack of sleep and hormones, one common cause is bright or flashing lights. Here are some of the best home lighting bulbs to consider if you suffer from migraines: Incandescent lighting These traditional light bulbs have a warm glow and they don’t flicker, which is one potential migraine trigger. Unfortunately for migraine sufferers, incandescent bulbs have been phased out in the U. S. and many other countries, as they’re less energy efficient than other types of light bulbs. If you get migraines, you may find that the light from these bulbs are easier to tolerate than other types of home lighting. LED lighting These energy-efficient bulbs aren’t made with filaments, and they don’t have flickering problems. They also last a lot longer than incandescent bulbs and burn brightly, but are much more expensive. If you don’t have light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures in place, it can be more expensive to install them because you might also need a transformer in the ceiling if the fixture doesn’t have one."

"text": "\"Related Articles How to Stop CFL Lamps From Flickering How to Repair a Three-Way Switch on a Lamp Types of CFLs How to Use CFL in Recessed Lights Users of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) will find that the three-way lamp switch is a practical alternative to dimmable CFLs, and an even better alternative to three-way incandescent bulbs. Three-ways are easy and familiar to use with ample designer advantages. Any household lamp that accommodates three-way incandescent bulbs is compatible with three-way CFLs, and the lamps will actually perform better in terms of energy efficiency, heat generation and bulb life. How a Three-Way Lamp Switch Works Traditional three-way lamp switches consist of a socket with three electrical contacts: one contact each for a low and medium light output plus a neutral contact. Twisting the lamp switch one click from the off position sends power to one contact for a low lumen setting, twisting again activates a different contact for the medium setting and twisting a third time activates both the low and medium contact at the same time (See Reference 1, page 3). How Three-Way Incandescent Bulbs Work A three-way incandescent light bulb contains two tungsten filaments that light up separately to produce the low and medium levels of illumination and then work in tandem to produce the high setting. Thus a 30-70-100 tungsten filament lamp (TFL) can perform as a 30-watt bulb using one filament, a 70-watt bulb using the other, and a 100-watt bulb using both together (See Reference 4, page 3). Three-way incandescent bulbs are exempted, for now, from the gradual phase-out of incandescent lamps (See Reference 1, page 2-3). How Three-Way CFL Bulbs Work While some early versions of three-way CFL bulbs utilized multiple fluorescent tubes analogous to the dual filaments of three-way incandescent bulbs, newer generation CFLs rely on electronic ballasts to produce their low-medium-high lumen output without any flickering. One important difference between three-way CFLs and three-way TFLs is that the low and medium lumen outputs of a CFL do not necessarily add up to the lumen output of the high setting (See Reference 2, page 18-23; Reference 3, page 29-30)."

It's the bill, signed by President Bush, that supposedly bans incandescent light bulbs:http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h6enr.txt.pdf The word \"\"ban\"\" isn't there. What is there, is a set of standards for making light bulbs more efficient phased in from 2012 to 2014. Look carefully and you'll also see a whole list of exceptions including: 3-way light light bulbs, 40-watt appliance bulbs and other specialty bulbs, 22 exceptions in all. O.k., so the bill doesn't say \"\"ban,\"\" but many claim that the standards effectively bans incandescent, because light bulbs today can't meet them."

"text": "\"By David Agrell Feb 27, 2014 202Ben Goldstein Incandescent era, RIP. Like it or not, it's time to move on. Traditional incandescent lightbulbs are gone—not banned, precisely, but phased out because the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), passed in 2007, requires them to be about 25 percent more efficient. That's impossible to achieve without decreasing their luminous flux (brightness), so, instead, manufacturers have shifted to more energy-efficient technologies, such as compact fluorescents (CFLs), halogens, and LEDs. Of course, not everyone is embracing these next-gen lightbulbs. Some wonder why we need a mandate to use them, if they're so great. The fact is, after more than a century of incandescents, we've become attached to them. They're cheap, they dim predictably, and they emit a warm and familiar glow. Weaning ourselves off them won't be easy: Just as the 40- and 60-watt phaseout went into effect on Jan. 1, about half of the 3.2 billion screw-base bulb sockets nationwide still housed incandescent bulbs. So, what now?"

Incandescent Lighting vs Light Emitting Diode (LED) Comparison: Topic LED Notes Incandescent Notes Winner Correlated Color Temperature (read more here)LEDs are available in a wide range of color temperatures that generally span from 2200K-6000K (ranging from “warm” yellow to light or “cool” blue). Incandescent bulbs are also available in a range of color temperatures. The three primary options for consumers include Soft White (roughly 2700K – 3000K), Cool White (3500K – 4100K), and Daylight (5000K – 6500K).-CRI (read more here)CRI for LED is highly dependent on the particular light in question. That said, a very broad spectrum of CRI values is available ranging generally from 65-95. Incandescent bulbs generally have outstanding CRI ratings. A “warm” incandescent light (one with a color temperature of around 2700K) has a perfect CRI of 100. Values trend down a little as color temperature goes up but they tend to stay above 95 (still outstanding). Incandescent Cycling (Turning On/Off)LEDs are an ideal light for purposely turning on and off because they respond rather instantaneously (there is no warm up or cool down period)."

Employers must also provide employees and contractors with W-2 and 1099 reports explaining the compensation paid and withholding amounts. There may be state requirements as well. The rules can be complex and penalties for noncompliance severe, which is why the administration of payroll tax responsibilities is often outsourced by small businesses. Properly handling payroll tax responsibilities involves making sure that:your federal and state taxes are paid and reported to the appropriate tax agenciesyou properly report income, amounts withheld, and amounts paid on behalf of employees and contractorsyou maintain the required federal and state records Accurate and timely compliance is the key to avoiding payroll tax penalties!Getting Started When you hire your first employee, you'll need to get a federal employer identification number from the IRS if you do not already have one for your business. You may also need to get state and local tax numbers as well. In addition to assigning an employer identification number (EIN) for use on all your correspondence, deposits, returns, and other documents, the tax agencies will usually supply you with information about your specific payroll tax obligations and may supply the forms you'll need to use when you deposit the taxes and file returns. For federal payroll tax purposes, you will have both reporting and depositing obligations. Although these relate to the same liability, the tax returns and tax deposits are generally done separately: Federal tax deposits must be made on a periodic basis.

Requirements for Children with Investment Income For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, California law conforms to federal law that allows parents’ election to report a child’s interest and dividend income from children under age 19 or a student under age 24 on their tax return. If qualifying, the parents may elect to report their child’s income of $9,500 or less (but not less than $950) on their tax return by completing form FTB 3803. To make this election, their child’s income must be only for interest and or dividends. Otherwise, each child under age 19 or student under age 24 who received more than $1,900 of investment income in 2010 should complete form FTB 3800 to figure the tax on his/her own form 540, applying his/her parents tax rate if parents’ rate is higher. Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief California law conforms, with modification, to federal mortgage forgiveness debt relief for discharges occurring on or after January 1, 2009. Federal law limits the amount of qualified principal residence indebtedness to $2 million ($1 million if MFS). California law limits the amount of qualified principal residence indebtedness to $800,000 ($400,000 if MFS) and debt relief to $500,000 ($250,000 if MFS).

The members of an LLC taxed as a partnership cannot take W-2 salaries or wages like employees of the LLC and cannot therefore have their compensation processed through a payroll service. However, they may take salaries in the form of “guaranteed payments” and profit distributions from the LLC as discussed in greater detail below. In this scenario, they would pay federal and state personal income taxes and the federal Self-Employment (SE) Tax on their guaranteed payments and their share of the LLC’s pass-through net income on their personal income tax returns. They would pay these taxes through quarterly personal estimated tax payments. An LLC is unique in that it can be taxed as a disregarded entity, partnership, C corp or S corp. A single member or owner LLC can be taxed as a disregarded entity, C corp or S corp. A multi-member or owner LLC can be taxed as a partnership, C corp or S corp. Unless an LLC elects corporate tax classification by filing Federal Form 8832 (C corp) or Federal Form 2553 (S corp) with the IRS when it is formed, a single member or owner LLC is taxed as a disregarded entity and a multiple member or owner LLC is taxed as a partnership.

Finding out you owe federal income taxes at filing time is no fun, but did you know that the IRS can charge you interest and penalties if you don’t properly estimate (and pay) your taxes on at least a quarterly basis? If you’re self-employed or earn additional income from a side hustle that does not withhold federal income taxes (i.e., you receive 1099 forms), you may have to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Who Must Make Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments? The IRS explains, in excruciating detail, how to determine whether you’ll need to make estimated tax payments in Publication 505. Put simply, however, you will generally need to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe the IRS $1,000 or more in taxes when you file your tax return. If you are self-employed, you will have to send the IRS between 22.5 percent and 28 percent of your gross income four times a year to cover your income tax and social security tax obligations. If you are employed full-time but earn additional income from sources that do not withhold income taxes from your pay (and issue you form 1099), things get a little tricky. Chances are, if owed taxes last year or had only a small refund and you are earning more than $1,000 from sources that do not withhold income taxes, you will need to make estimated payments."

It is a unique, 10-character alpha-numeric identifier, issued to all judicial entities identifiable under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. An example number would be in the form of A008113003. It is issued by the Indian Income Tax Department under the supervision of the Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT) and it also serves as an important proof of identification. [ 1]It is also issued to foreign nationals (such as investors) subject to a valid visa and hence, it is not acceptable as a proof of Indian citizenship. The PAN is mandatory for a majority of financial transactions such as opening a bank account, receiving taxable salary or professional fees, sale or purchase of assets above specified limits etc. ; especially high-value transactions. The primary purpose of the PAN is to bring a universal identification to all financial transactions and to prevent tax evasion by keeping track of monetary transactions, especially those of high-net-worth individuals who can impact the economy. The PAN is unique to each individual and is valid for the lifetime of the holder, throughout India. An important point to note would be that once issued, the PAN is not affected by a change of address."

"text": "\"Understanding Payroll Tax Payment and Filing Requirements Employers are required to make federal payroll tax payments to the government, as well as filing the proper reporting and informational returns. Employers must also provide employees and contractors with W-2 and 1099 reports explaining the compensation paid and withholding amounts. There may be state requirements as well. The rules can be complex and penalties for noncompliance severe, which is why the administration of payroll tax responsibilities is often outsourced by small businesses. Properly handling payroll tax responsibilities involves making sure that:your federal and state taxes are paid and reported to the appropriate tax agenciesyou properly report income, amounts withheld, and amounts paid on behalf of employees and contractorsyou maintain the required federal and state records Accurate and timely compliance is the key to avoiding payroll tax penalties!Getting Started When you hire your first employee, you'll need to get a federal employer identification number from the IRS if you do not already have one for your business. You may also need to get state and local tax numbers as well. In addition to assigning an employer identification number (EIN) for use on all your correspondence, deposits, returns, and other documents, the tax agencies will usually supply you with information about your specific payroll tax obligations and may supply the forms you'll need to use when you deposit the taxes and file returns. For federal payroll tax purposes, you will have both reporting and depositing obligations. Although these relate to the same liability, the tax returns and tax deposits are generally done separately: Federal tax deposits must be made on a periodic basis. Federal tax returns must be filed on a quarterly or annual basis."

"text": "\"Workers' compensation -- Determining independent contractor or employee status Note: The following information is a general outline, subject to statutory change and is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a private attorney. The terms \"\"employer\"\" and \"\"worker\"\" are used in the following information and are not to be given a literal meaning nor do they correspond to \"\"employer\"\" and \"\"employee\"\" as defined in the Minnesota Workers' Compensation Act. They are used as a manner of convenience to distinguish between one who pays to have a service performed and one who is paid to perform the service. Independent contractor in construction Effective Jan. 1, 2009, determination of independent contractor status for many individuals who perform commercial or residential building construction or improvements in the public or private sector is governed by Minnesota Statutes 181.723. This law was amended in 2012 to replace the independent contractor exemption certificate program with a two-year pilot project for registration of construction contractors. Under the amendments, as of Sept. 15, 2012, all contractors, including independent contractors and other types of business entities (such as limited liability companies -- LLCs) that perform building construction or improvement services must register with the Department of Labor and Industry (or be exempted from registration) and meet the nine-factor independent contractor test. Under the nine-factor test, an individual is considered an independent contractor only if he or she:maintains a separate business with the individual's own office, equipment, materials and other facilities; (i) holds or has applied for a federal employer identification number or (ii) has filed business or self-employment income tax returns with the federal Internal Revenue Service if the individual has performed services in the previous year;is operating under contract to perform the specific services for the person for specific amounts of money and under which the individual controls the means of performing the services;is incurring the main expenses related to the services that the individual is performing for the person under the contract;is responsible for the satisfactory completion of the services that the individual has contracted to perform for the person and is liable for a failure to complete the services;receives compensation from the person for the services performed under the contract on a commission or per-job or competitive bid basis and not on any other basis;may realize a profit or suffer a loss under the contract to perform services for the person;has continuing or recurring business liabilities or obligations; andthe success or failure of the individual's business depends on the relationship of business receipts to expenditures. Even if an individual performing building construction or improvement services is an owner or partial owner of a business entity (such as an LLC), the individual is considered an employee of the general or hiring contractor unless: the business entity meets the nine-factor test; invoices are submitted in the name of the business entity; and the business entity is registered with the Secretary of State and the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), if required by law. To avoid misclassification, building construction or improvement contractors should verify that the individual or business entity they intend to subcontract with meets the nine-factor test; have written contracts that are consistent with the nine-factor test; verify registration (or exemption from registration) with DLI; and verify that the subcontractor has an active business filing with the Secretary of State (if required for the type of business). Building construction contractors should also be aware that a general contractor or intermediate contractor is liable for all of the workers' compensation benefits due to the injured employee of a subcontractor if the subcontractor does not have workers' compensation insurance."

"text": "\"Do's and Don'ts When Using Independent Contractors By Robert W. Wood Posted: June 16, 2011Print Email PDF PDF All Business lawyers must be flexible and advise their clients on a plethora of legal issues. Clients expect them to not only provide accurate legal advice, but to also provide it in a practical and digestible form. Often, particularly given the fast pace of business today, business lawyers are in the unenviable position of being forced to give a kind of template for how a situation should be resolved. This is understandable, because their clients must make many decisions. It is not always possible to stop the flow of business and to seek legal advice on every point. Yet actions the client may take can have enormous implications for overall liability, as well as particular employment law and tax implications both immediately and for many years into the future. The decision whether to hire a worker as an employee or an independent contractor is a significant one with fingers in a large number of pies, with regulations from the IRS, the Department of Labor and employment statutes, and state unemployment insurance authorities. In fact, it is hard to think of a more consequential business decision. Yet paradoxically, the question whether to hire someone in one capacity or the other may garner little attention from business people. Because of the potential for staggering tax and other liabilities such decisions can trigger, business lawyers must be vigilant."

Definition The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) looks at three factors to define an employee or an independent contractor: behavioral control, financial control and relationship. Employees are told when, where and how to work. They are given set hours and paid an hourly wage or salary. By contrast, independent contractors work on a project-by-project basis, taking as many hours as they need to complete the task for one set fee.

Below is some general information about the legal definitions of a volunteer, independent contractor and employee.

To add to the confusion, the California test and the federal test to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor differ in some cases.

Main Test Does the principal (you) have the right to control the manner and means in which the worker carries out the job? The right of direction and control, whether or not exercised, is the most important factor in determining an employment relationship. The right to discharge a worker at will and without cause is strong evidence for the right of direction and control. When it is not clear whether you have the right to direct and control the worker, you must look further into the actual working relationship by weighing the ten secondary factors.

"text": "Employment Discrimination: Employees v. Independent Contractors Under Ohio law, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the basis of that person’s race, color, religion, sex, military status, national origin, disability, age, or ancestry. Ohio’s employment discrimination statutes generally only protect – not surprisingly –employees. Therefore, in a litigation setting, it becomes necessary to determine whether the party hired to perform the work by the hiring party is an employer or an independent contractor. This is a crucial inquiry because, if a hired party is found to be an independent contractor, and not an employee, then he or she is not entitled to the protections afforded by Ohio’s employment discrimination statutes. Both the Ohio and U. S. Supreme Courts have addressed the issue of whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor. According to the Supreme Court of Ohio in Gillum v. Indus. Comm., the key issue in determining whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor is whether the employer has reserved the right to control the manner or means of doing the work: “ [I]f the employer reserves the right to control the manner or means of doing the work, the relation created is that of master and servant, while if the manner or means of doing the work or job is left to one who is responsible to the employer only for the result, an independent contractor relationship is thereby created. ”The Supreme Court of Ohio has held that factors to be considered in determining who has the right of control includes indicia such as “who controls the details and quality of the work; who controls the hours worked; who selects the materials, tools and personnel used; who selects the routes traveled; the length of employment; the method of payment; and any pertinent agreements or contracts. ”In Nationwide Mut."

With the number of independent contractors skyrocketing in the U. S., it's important to clarify your tax status before taking your text job. Co-workers in the same office may face very different tax issues if one is an independent contractor and the other is a full-time employee. With the number of independent contractors skyrocketing in the U. S., it’s important to clarify your tax status before taking your next job. Are you an employee of the company you work for, or do you work as a contingent worker, temporary employee, independent contractor, or “flexible associate” at your company? You’re not alone if you’re among the growing ranks of the self-employed worker. More than 7.4% of the U. S. workforce is classified by the U. S. Department of labor as independent contractors – that’s over 10 million working Americans. The actual number of contingent workers – those whose livelihoods depend on temporary or contract jobs – may be much higher. Fox News recently reported that companies are increasingly turning to temps and to a much larger universe of freelancers, contract workers and consultants. Combined, these workers number nearly 17 million people who have only tenuous ties to the companies that pay them — about 12 percent of every U. S. worker with a job."

"text": "What does the Affordable Care Act have to do with independent contractors? Liebert Cassidy Whitmore USA August 12 2014When we think of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), we invariably think of health insurance. The ACA mandates that any employer with 50 or more full time equivalent employees may face penalties unless it offers affordable health insurance to its full-time employees. This ACA requirement applies to employers with 50 or more full time employees (referred to in ACA as “large employers.”), including full-time equivalents. The ACA defines full time employees as those who work and average of 30 or more hours per week. What about the implications of the ACA on independent contractors? Many public entities use independent contractors for services such as maintenance, security, building inspection, planning, engineering, janitorial and pest control. Under the ACA, independent contractors do not count as employees when determining whether an employer meets the minimum threshold as a large employer. Also, an independent contractor is not counted as a full-time employee who could trigger a potential penalty or counted as full-time in the penalty calculation."

Ken Reid/Getty Images Independent contractor is a specific term used by the IRS to describe a self-employed person who does work on a project basis (which can be done either from home or in a company's office).

The degree of control exercised by the alleged employer;2. The extent of the relative investments of the worker and the alleged employer;3.

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

Our banking records are monitored and our identities vigorously identified. Employees and employers must reveal vast amounts of information to state and federal labor regulators and tax collectors. Whenever information is disclosed, even if it is to bureaucrats, there is a huge risk of abuse, accidental disclosure and fraud . Plus, the employee-employer relationship has become a cash cow for governments. Employees and employers are low hanging fruit for taxes, fees and regulations because they are easy to monitor, record, control and collect from. Both employers and employees must share a piece of their economic pie with state and federal government officials, increasing the costs to businesses and lowering the benefit received by employees. Governments impose these costs and regulations to take care of employees and employers, whether they want to be taken care of or not.

"text": "(In)dependent Contractor Misclassification Report • By Françoise Carré • June 8, 2015Briefing Paper #403Download PDFPress release Executive summary Numerous state-level studies show that between 10 and 20 percent of employers misclassify at least one worker as an independent contractor. Independent contractor (IC) misclassification occurs when a worker who should be considered a direct employee of a business—and receive a W-2 form to file with tax returns—is treated as a self-employed, “independent” contractor, and receives a 1099-MISC (miscellaneous income) form instead. The overall numbers have likely increased in recent years as workers in such traditional industries as construction, trucking, and stagecraft have been joined by a growing cadre of “on-demand workers,” who often get their assignments via the Internet (Weber and Silverman 2015). Independent contractors working in the on-demand economy include technical workers, house cleaners, drivers, and scores of others—some of whom are misclassified employees. All independent contractors, in old or new industries, are ineligible for benefits such as the minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. Misclassified workers can now be found in almost every sector of the economy, working for small companies to publicly traded multinational corporations. For example, Atlanta stagehands for concerts produced by Live Nation, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange that has held shows for such artists as Maroon 5 and Billy Joel, have been misclassified as ICs by a staffing provider (Vail 2015; De Pillis 2015). An estimated one-third of construction workers in Southern states such as North Carolina and Texas have been misclassified (Ordonez and Locke 2014a). And roughly 20,000 employees of Crowd Flower Inc., a San Francisco–based startup that breaks down digital jobs such as data entry, are misclassified, alleges a case now moving through the courts (Weber and Silverman 2015). The costs to tax and social insurance systems and to workers add up."

Contract Employees Knowing the difference between an independent contractor and an employee is essential for business owners who plan to do any hiring. Business relationships between workers and employers affect employment taxes, and incorrectly classifying someone as an independent contractor may cost you money. The Internal Revenue Service has a set of guidelines rather than a predetermined checklist for classifying workers for tax purposes. Workers may be considered employees, statutory employees, statutory non-employees or independent contractors. Employees Classification is centered on how much control the business owner has over the worker. If you dictate the details of how work is done, the person completing the work is your employee. If you purchase supplies and determine how payment is handled, your worker is also more likely to be considered an employee. Benefits and the importance of a worker's role in the business are other important factors.

"text": "Independent Contractor Misclassification By Werman Salas Independent Contractor Misclassification Employers often wrongfully and illegally classify their employees as independent contractors to avoid paying payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, minimum wages, overtime pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, and health insurance. Federal and state laws provide protections for employees who are considered “employees” as opposed to “independent contractors.” Generally, workers are presumed to be employees until an employer can establish that they were correctly classified as independent contractors. When determining if someone is really an “independent contractor” the most significant factor is whether the person who performs the work is subject to the control of the person for whom the work is provided. For example, does the employer or principal control or have the right to control the worker both as to the work done and the manner in which it is performed. Additional factors that are used to define contractor status, include: Whether the person performing the work or services in engaged in an occupation or business distinct or different from that of the employer or principal;Whether or not the work is part of the regular business of the principal or alleged employer;Whether the principal (i.e., alleged employer) or the worker supplies the tools and equipment required to perform the work;The location where the work is performed;Whether the working relationship is permanent;The degree of skill required to perform the work;The alleged employee’s opportunity for profit or loss depending on his or her managerial skill; and The method of payment, whether by time or by the job. In determining whether a worker in an employee or independent contractor, the existence of a written agreement or contract claiming to establish an independent contractor relationship is irrelevant. Similarly, the fact that a worker is issued a 1099 Form, instead of a W-2 Form, is irrelevant in determining independent contractor status.

Freelance writer As an employer, it is crucial that you understand the distinctions between an independent contractor and an employee so that you can be sure you are abiding by federal and state tax laws. Employee vs. Independent Contractor If a worker is an employee, the employer is responsible for paying Social Security, unemployment insurance, Medicare, and possibly other costs like workers' compensation insurance for the employee; at the end of the tax year, the employer is responsible for compiling all necessary payroll reports, including W-2 forms. If a worker is an independent contractor, the employer is not responsible for any of the above taxes or payments, and the only added paperwork is the issuing of a 1099 to the independent contractor at the end of the tax year, if he or she has made more than $600 with the employer. So why not just call everyone who works for you an \"\"independent contractor\"\" and save time and money? Because you, as the employer, are not the one who decides whether someone is an employee or an independent contractor; the law does, and there could be penalties if you make an incorrect determination. Employee or Independent Contractor? The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) lists three categories of information to be considered in the determination of whether an individual is an employee or independent contractor: Behavioral: Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does his or her job? Financial: Are the business aspects of the worker's job controlled by the payer? ( These aspects include things like how the worker is paid, whether expenses are reimbursed, who provides tools/supplies, etc. )"

"text": "\"The Federal Enclave Doctrine: A Potentially Powerful Defense to State Employment Laws By Joshua Waxman, Richard Black, and Steven Kaplan on March 7, 2013Download PDFThe U. S. Constitution provides that the federal government has exclusive legislative rights over certain federal territories – such as military bases, courthouses, and other official properties – if a state consents to the purchase of the territory. These territories are known as \"\"federal enclaves.\"\" In practical terms, the federal enclave doctrine provides a little known, but potentially powerful, defense for employers that perform work in federal enclaves because often only federal law will apply in those locations. The application of federal law to work performed in federal enclaves is significant because state employment laws may give rise to more plaintiff-friendly remedies and longer statutes of limitations than their federal counterparts. Significantly, the doctrine has been recognized to preclude state law wage and hour class actions. In addition, because the doctrine gives rise to federal law claims exclusively, it may form the basis to remove a lawsuit from state to federal court. This article provides an overview of the federal enclave doctrine, including practical considerations for the employment law practitioner. What Is a Federal Enclave? A federal enclave is territory, transferred by a state through cession or consent to the United States, over which the federal government has acquired exclusive jurisdiction. Once the federal government exerts exclusive jurisdiction over a territory, it can choose whether state or federal law will govern."

But, in the legal sense, a hostile work environment is caused by unwelcome conduct in the workplace, in the form of discriminatory harassment toward one or more employees. Other names for a hostile work environment include intimidating work environment, offensive work environment, abusive work environment and hostile workplace. The harassing workplace bully might be an employee, such as a bad boss or coworker, or even a non-employee such as a client or independent contractor. But who the workplace bully is doesn't matter as much in the legal sense, as does the fact that he or she is creating an intimidating, offensive, abusive or hostile work environment through discriminatory workplace harassment. Both victims and witnesses are protected under the relevant laws. The courts recognize that witnesses too might suffer consequences of workplace hostility, even though they were not the direct targets. Hostile Work Environment Laws There are no Federal \"\"hostile work environment laws\"\" or \"\"hostile workplace laws\"\" named as such. Creating a hostile workplace is prohibited under certain Federal discrimination laws (listed below). Subsequently, to be illegal under one of the laws in the eyes of the courts, a hostile work environment typically must be caused by discriminatory workplace harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, disability, genetics, age or sex; or it must be caused by retaliation in violation of a discrimination law."

The terms \"\"employer\"\" and \"\"worker\"\" are used in the following information and are not to be given a literal meaning nor do they correspond to \"\"employer\"\" and \"\"employee\"\" as defined in the Minnesota Workers' Compensation Act. They are used as a manner of convenience to distinguish between one who pays to have a service performed and one who is paid to perform the service. Independent contractor in construction Effective Jan. 1, 2009, determination of independent contractor status for many individuals who perform commercial or residential building construction or improvements in the public or private sector is governed by Minnesota Statutes 181.723. This law was amended in 2012 to replace the independent contractor exemption certificate program with a two-year pilot project for registration of construction contractors. Under the amendments, as of Sept. 15, 2012, all contractors, including independent contractors and other types of business entities (such as limited liability companies -- LLCs) that perform building construction or improvement services must register with the Department of Labor and Industry (or be exempted from registration) and meet the nine-factor independent contractor test. Under the nine-factor test, an individual is considered an independent contractor only if he or she:maintains a separate business with the individual's own office, equipment, materials and other facilities; (i) holds or has applied for a federal employer identification number or (ii) has filed business or self-employment income tax returns with the federal Internal Revenue Service if the individual has performed services in the previous year;is operating under contract to perform the specific services for the person for specific amounts of money and under which the individual controls the means of performing the services;is incurring the main expenses related to the services that the individual is performing for the person under the contract;is responsible for the satisfactory completion of the services that the individual has contracted to perform for the person and is liable for a failure to complete the services;receives compensation from the person for the services performed under the contract on a commission or per-job or competitive bid basis and not on any other basis;may realize a profit or suffer a loss under the contract to perform services for the person;has continuing or recurring business liabilities or obligations; andthe success or failure of the individual's business depends on the relationship of business receipts to expenditures. Even if an individual performing building construction or improvement services is an owner or partial owner of a business entity (such as an LLC), the individual is considered an employee of the general or hiring contractor unless: the business entity meets the nine-factor test; invoices are submitted in the name of the business entity; and the business entity is registered with the Secretary of State and the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), if required by law. To avoid misclassification, building construction or improvement contractors should verify that the individual or business entity they intend to subcontract with meets the nine-factor test; have written contracts that are consistent with the nine-factor test; verify registration (or exemption from registration) with DLI; and verify that the subcontractor has an active business filing with the Secretary of State (if required for the type of business). Building construction contractors should also be aware that a general contractor or intermediate contractor is liable for all of the workers' compensation benefits due to the injured employee of a subcontractor if the subcontractor does not have workers' compensation insurance."

"text": "\"Expanding Discrimination Law To Protect Independent Contractors: Why It's Crucial to Sex Equality By JULIE [email protected] ---- Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2003Discrimination law hasn't yet caught up with our part-timing, telecommuting, freelancing society. Under federal law - and to a large extent, under state law as well - independent contractors still enjoy little protection against discrimination. For instance, the main federal antidiscrimination statute, Title VII, expressly excludes independent contractors from its protections. In contrast, even potential employees are protected by Title VII and other laws; they can bring hiring discrimination claims. Thus, merely strolling into a job interview earns you rights that years of working as an independent contractor cannot create. Over the years, the rights that employees, and even potential employees, enjoy have gotten broader and broader. Across the country, not only race and sex discrimination, but also disability and age discrimination - and in some instances, sexual orientation discrimination as well - have increasingly become illegal. But independent contractors have almost always been frozen out. As a result, the reality is that they can be subjected to blatant discrimination, and yet have no recourse. That leads to an important question: Should independent contractors be fully - or at least partially - protected by federal and state discrimination law?"

Several federal and state statutes prevent the at-will doctrine from being applied e.g., employment discrimination laws and whistleblower protection laws Exceptions to the at-will doctrine may be based on contract theory. Employment contracts with a set employment term or with conditions for termination create exceptions to the employment at-will doctrine Case 21.1: Ellis v. Blue Sky Charter School (MN Ct. App. 2010). Court held that a terminated school director was an at-will employee due to the explicit statement in his employment contract that it was an \"\"at will agreement.\"\" Therefore, plaintiff was not entitled to damages for breach of contract when his employment was terminated Even where there is no express employment agreement, courts may find an \"\"implied\"\" employment contract exists based on an employer's personnel policy manual or published notices to employees. If an implied contract provides conditions to termination (such as termination only for good cause or only after notice and a chance to improve performance), then the employment-at-will doctrine would not apply."

"text": "\"Risks, Benefits of Using Contingent Workers September 26, 2008 at 10:20 am by: Indiana Employment Law Letterby Craig Borowski Many employers use contingent workers: independent contractors, leased employees, consultants, and temporary employees. While using an alternative workforce has benefits, it can create legal and practical risks as well. If you use or are considering using contingent workers, here are some benefits and risks to weigh. Audio Conference: Independent Contractor Myths: New Ways Employers Are Getting Burned Benefits of contingent workers There are many potential benefits to using contingent workers. Although the specific benefits vary from case to case, some of the more common benefits include: Cost savings. Perhaps the most significant motivation for using workers such as independent contractors and temps is cost savings. You often must pay employees for nonproductive time, but you don’t usually pay contingent workers for downtime ( e.g., you cut back on temps during periods of low production). Additionally, you generally don’t provide workers such as independent contractors and temps with the benefits you provide to regular employees, such as vacation time, holiday pay, sick leave, and health insurance. Finally, using independent contractors allows you to avoid withholding payroll taxes, paying social security and Medicare taxes, and making unemployment contributions. Increased efficiency."

This very broad legal area falls primarily under the large practice area of employment law. These employee rights have been addressed on the federal and state levels and by various regulatory bodies, as well as via employee handbooks/manuals and collective bargaining agreements. Not all employees have the same rights. For example, private employees don’t have all the same constitutional rights that public employees, who work for the government, do. There are many regulatory bodies that administer and oversee employee rights laws.

Department of State is to provide equal opportunity in employment to all persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or sexual orientation; and to achieve equal employment opportunity (EEO) in the workplace through an ongoing and continuous affirmative outreach program. The Office of Civil Rights (S/OCR) administers and oversees the Department's EEO program. The policy of the U. S. Department of State is also to provide equal opportunity in employment to all persons without regard to marital status, political affiliation, or protected genetic information. The Department's EEO complaints process, however, is not available to resolve such complaints. Instead, individuals should avail themselves of the appropriate grievance procedures, prohibited personnel practice remedies, and/or courts for relief. No person shall be subject to retaliation for opposing any practice made unlawful by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended (ADEA), the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, or for participating in any stages of the administrative or judicial proceedings under these statutes. Political appointees, supervisors, managers, employees, contractors, and all individuals subject to Department of State supervision or control are required to cooperate with S/OCR and its authorized agents who conduct inquiry and investigation as part of the EEO process.

"text": "(In)dependent Contractor Misclassification Report • By Françoise Carré • June 8, 2015Briefing Paper #403Download PDFPress release Executive summary Numerous state-level studies show that between 10 and 20 percent of employers misclassify at least one worker as an independent contractor. Independent contractor (IC) misclassification occurs when a worker who should be considered a direct employee of a business—and receive a W-2 form to file with tax returns—is treated as a self-employed, “independent” contractor, and receives a 1099-MISC (miscellaneous income) form instead. The overall numbers have likely increased in recent years as workers in such traditional industries as construction, trucking, and stagecraft have been joined by a growing cadre of “on-demand workers,” who often get their assignments via the Internet (Weber and Silverman 2015). Independent contractors working in the on-demand economy include technical workers, house cleaners, drivers, and scores of others—some of whom are misclassified employees. All independent contractors, in old or new industries, are ineligible for benefits such as the minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. Misclassified workers can now be found in almost every sector of the economy, working for small companies to publicly traded multinational corporations. For example, Atlanta stagehands for concerts produced by Live Nation, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange that has held shows for such artists as Maroon 5 and Billy Joel, have been misclassified as ICs by a staffing provider (Vail 2015; De Pillis 2015). An estimated one-third of construction workers in Southern states such as North Carolina and Texas have been misclassified (Ordonez and Locke 2014a). And roughly 20,000 employees of Crowd Flower Inc., a San Francisco–based startup that breaks down digital jobs such as data entry, are misclassified, alleges a case now moving through the courts (Weber and Silverman 2015). The costs to tax and social insurance systems and to workers add up."

After the first increase on January 1, 2017, the Governor can pause a later scheduled increase for one year if certain economic or budget conditions are met. ( These pauses are referred to as “off-ramps”.) The conditions for pausing a scheduled increase are as follows: The Governor can pause an increase if the seasonally adjusted statewide job growth for either the prior three or six months is negative and retail sales receipts for the prior 12 months is negative. Alternatively, the Governor can pause an increase if it is projected to cause a deficit (defined as a negative operating reserve of more than one percent of annual revenues [currently about $1.2 billion]) in the current state budget or in the budget forecast for either of the next two fiscal years. * On August 1 of each year the Governor will make a preliminary determination on whether the conditions are met for pausing the following year’s increase."

Workers sought better conditions and the right to join (or avoid joining) a labour union, while employers sought a more predictable, flexible and less costly workforce. The state of labour law at any one time is therefore both the product of, and a component of struggles between various social forces. As England was the first country to industrialise, it was also the first to face the often appalling consequences of industrial revolution in a less regulated economic framework. Over the course of the late 18th and early to mid-19th century the foundation for modern labour law was slowly laid, as some of the more egregious aspects of working conditions were steadily ameliorated through legislation."

Employees in For-profit Businesses Under the Workers' Compensation Law, most individuals providing services to a for-profit business will be deemed an employee of that business and therefore must be covered by the employer for workers' compensation insurance. This applies unless those services are specifically excluded as employment under the WCL. For workers' compensation insurance purposes, the term employee generally includes day labor, leased employees, borrowed employees, part-time employees, unpaid volunteers (including family members) and most subcontractors (specific exclusions listed under Identifying an Independent Contractor ). Many factors are used to decide whether an individual is an employee under the Workers' Compensation Law. If a business meets any of the criteria listed below, and the individual hired does not meet the criteria listed under independent contractors, or the services rendered are not specifically exempted as employment under the WCL, then that business must obtain a workers' compensation insurance policy.

Applicants may be seeking admission to an educational program or looking for professional employment. In modern American jurisprudence, it typically imposes remedies against discrimination on the basis of, at the very least, race, creed, color, and national origin. Legal Origins While the concept of affirmative action has existed in America since the 19th century, it first appeared in its current form in President Kennedy's Executive Order 10925 (1961): \"\"The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin. \"\" Employment Government Contractors In 1961, President John F.

"text": "\"You often have to pay takes when you take distributions from an inherited IRA. Inheriting an individual retirement account (IRA) can be both a blessing and a curse: A blessing because of the obvious financial windfall, but a curse because distributions from inherited IRAs are taxed in the same way they would have been taxable to the decedent. Unlike most other assets you inherit, you don't get a basis adjustment when you inherit an IRA. Traditional IRAs As tax-deferred retirement plan, distributions from an inherited traditional IRA is fully taxable, even for a beneficiary. The only way a portion of the distribution won't be taxed is if the decedent made nondeductible contributions to the traditional IRA, meaning she put money in and didn't claim a deduction. If so, you split your distributions based on the percentage of nondeductible contributions in the IRA. For example, if the inherited traditional IRA is worth $100,000 and it contains $28,000 of nondeductible contributions, 28 percent of your distribution comes out tax-free. Roth IRAs Roth IRAs use different rules for determining taxes. If the decedent had the account open for at least five years, all your distributions are tax-free because it counts as a qualified distribution. If the decedent died before five years, you get to take out the contributions made to the account tax-free."

A Roth IRA conversion is a taxable movement of funds from a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA. You may also be able to roll over distributions from such qualified retirement plans as 401 (k), 403 (b), 457 (b), and profit-sharing accounts into a Roth IRA. Because the Roth IRA has a different structure from the other account types, the benefits to you will be different. Who is eligible to convert to a Roth IRA? Anyone with a traditional IRA. In past years, there were many restrictions on Roth IRA conversion, but most of those were eliminated beginning on January 1, 2010. Tax filing status and income limits no longer apply to conversion, although they still apply to non-conversion Roth IRA contributions."

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

"text": "\"Inherited IRA Rules Properly dealing with an inherited IRA can be tricky business. If you take the right steps, you can continue to delay taxation on the account for many years. But if you make a mistake, the entire account balance could be taxable immediately — thereby wasting a potentially huge sum of money on taxes. When you inherit an IRA, the rules that apply to you depend on whether or not the deceased account owner was your spouse. We’ll cover spouse beneficiaries first, then non-spouse beneficiaries, then situations in which there are multiple beneficiaries. Inherited IRA: Spouse Beneficiary As a spouse beneficiary, you have two primary options: Do a spousal rollover — rolling the account into your own IRA, or Continue to own the account as a beneficiary. Note: There’s no deadline on a spousal rollover. Should you want to, you can own the account as a beneficiary for several years, then elect to do a spousal rollover. If you do a spousal rollover, from that point forward, it will be as if the IRA was yours to begin with. All the normal IRA rules will apply — whether Roth or traditional."

"text": "\"Whether you should choose a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA for your retirement savings essentially comes down to one question: When do you want your tax break -- now or in the future? While both types of retirement savings accounts offer favorable tax treatment -- that is, ways to shield some of your money from taxation -- the mechanics of how and when they deliver tax savings are very different. Beyond the tax question, these accounts have other features that might sway your decision one way or the other. We'll wade into the details in a moment -- and our IRA Center can help you sort out the details if you don't know where to begin -- but for those who specifically want an answer to the question \"\"Should I choose a Roth or traditional IRA?\"\" in less than 350 words, here it is. If you'd prefer to lower your taxes today and defer them until a later date, a traditional IRA is the answer The IRS allows you to deduct the amount of money you contribute to a traditional IRA from your taxable income for the tax year in which you make the contribution, so long as you meet certain criteria. That means a traditional IRA offers immediate tax savings. However, years later, when you start taking money out of the account for retirement, Uncle Sam will come calling, and those taxes you deferred will come due. As you make withdrawals, you'll pay your ordinary income-tax rate on all money you withdraw.

"text": "Todd Campbell ( TMFEBCapital)Apr 9, 2016 at 6:41PMThis article was updated on January 11, 2018, and originally published on April 9, 2016. If you're retired and you're looking to benefit from tax-savvy moves, then you might want to consider whether you qualify to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributing to a Roth in retirement can significantly increase the size of your estate, and in some cases, it can go a long way toward justifying claiming Social Security early. But not every retiree can contribute to a Roth IRA. Read on to find out if you're one of the lucky ones who can. A little background Roth IRAs are a retirement savings vehicle that allows people to stash away $5,500 per year, or $6,500 per year if over age 50, in after-tax money that can grow and be withdrawn tax free. But only people with earned income can contribute to a Roth IRA. So if you -- or your spouse -- aren't still working at least part-time, then you won't be able to contribute to a Roth IRA. Social Security income, pension income, and investment income don't count as earned income. Sorry."

"text": "How To Make Charitable Donations From Your Retirement Accounts Sep 15 2010Many investors have accumulated significant sums in their qualified retirement plans like IRAs, 401 (k)s, and 403 (b)s. If you are in that camp, congratulations on your discipline and consistency. While these plans are not usually the best places from which to make a charitable donation – owing to their already tax-advantaged character – they can be used for this purpose very effectively. Just Give!The easiest and most straightforward way to make a donation using money from a qualified plan is to liquidate all or a part of the qualified investment, pay the tax and, if applicable, any penalties, and donate. Of course, making that donation at the lowest cost is best. By the lowest cost, I refer to the amount of an IRA distribution that actually gets to the charity after taxes, applicable penalties, and trading/execution costs. Let’s say that you are 50 years of age and your only asset is $100,000 in a Traditional IRA. Let’s also say that you are moved to give $5,000 as soon as possible to a local food bank to address an immediate need. Assuming that you are in a 25% marginal tax bracket, you will spend approximately $6,750 ($5,000 to the charity, $1,250 in taxes plus a $500 early withdrawal penalty.) Not included in this figure are the trading/transaction costs incurred to liquidate the positions."

"text": "An early IRA withdrawal can result in significant taxes. Money withdrawn from an Individual Retirement Account is typically taxable. One exception to this rule is a Roth IRA. If you withdraw money from any IRA before retirement, you're also likely to face penalties. At the time of your IRA distribution, you can usually specify how much tax you want your financial services firm to withhold. As long as you pay the tax you owe, there is no requirement to withhold at the time of distribution. Income Taxes Whenever you take a distribution from a IRA, you have to report the amount on your taxes. You'll receive a 1099-R from the firm holding your IRA account, showing the amount of your withdrawal. Transfer that figure to line 15a of your Form 1040. If it is taxable, as distributions from a traditional IRA are, enter that amount again on line 15b."

This type of annuity resides in an individual retirement account or employer plan. A nonspouse beneficiary has limited options regarding how to roll over the annuity and when taxes are due. Inherited qualified annuities are taxable unless they reside in a Roth account. You can also roll over a nonqualified inherited annuity through a Section 1035 exchange. Factors to Consider The first step in determining your taxes is understanding exactly what you are inheriting. If your parent died before she began receiving annuity payments, you will inherit the cash value of the annuity. You may also receive a death benefit in excess of the cash value. If your parent was receiving annuity payments, the policy generally no longer has a cash value."

A Roth IRA, with its tax-free growth potential and tax-free withdrawals for you and your heirs, is a way you may be able to do just that (as long as certain requirements are met). 1 And those are just a few of the benefits of a Roth IRA. One important note: Not everyone can contribute to a Roth IRA, because of IRS income limits. If your income is over the limits, you still may be able to have one by converting existing money in a traditional IRA or other retirement savings account. ( See the section \"\"If you earn too much to contribute,\"\" at the end of the article.)1. Money may grow tax free; withdrawals are tax free, too You contribute money that has already been taxed (after-tax dollars) to a Roth IRA. There's no tax deduction as there can be with a traditional IRA. But, any growth or earnings from the investments in the account—and money you take out in retirement—is free from federal taxes (and usually state and local taxes too), with a few conditions."

If you're younger, it's not. Roth IRAs, on the other hand, require you to satisfy two criteria -- failing to satisfy either one results in a non-qualified distribution. The Roth IRA has to be at least 5-tax-years old and you have to be either 59 1/2, suffering from a permanent disability or using no more than $10,000 to buy your first home.

After you reach age 70 ½, you are generally required by federal tax law to withdraw a minimum amount from your retirement savings plans each year.

Depending upon the terms of your 401 (k) or other employer plan, you may be able to delay taking RMDs until April 1 of the year following the later of the year you attain age 70½ or the year you retire, provided you are not a 5% or greater owner of the business.

This feature gives younger and older investors the opportunity to invest the money they've earned and accrue earnings at a tax free rate.

As long as the trustee or custodian that holds the account will allow a minor to open a Roth IRA, a child or teenager may make contributions from post tax income. Eligible income may include wages from summer jobs, tips, bonuses or fees for mowing lawns or performing other chores. The income that a minor contributes to a Roth IRA must be taxable income, regardless of whether the child or teenager actually owes taxes on the money.

Please feel free to add a comment at the bottom of the Brazilian jiu jitsu glossary if you have any suggestions for more terminology - it would be great to have some help (especially with the judo terms), as this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu glossary is likely to be a long-running work-in-progress. I'm mainly concerned about whether or not the BJJ terms are commonly used as opposed to if the terminology is actually accurate (e.g., the Japanese words may well be used incorrectly: for example, I've heard that 'gi' is technically not quite the right word, but nevertheless has become the accepted term), but would be useful if people know which is more 'correct' for Brazilian jiu jitsu. For each term in the BJJ glossary, I'll put in a link to the relevant label/summary on my blog, depending on if I've been shown it in jiu jitsu class yet and have put up a description. [ BJJ Glossary from slideyfoot.com] ^ ADCC: stands for 'Abu Dhabi Combat Club'. The ADCC is a sports club founded by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and a black belt in BJJ under Renzo Gracie. However, the term 'ADCC' most commonly refers to the ADCC World Submission Fighting Championships, an event which began in 1998 and is currently held every two years."

They will even provide you with a nice certificate suitable for framing in your choice of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean script depending on your preference. The slightly more scrupulous among them will sell you videos to study and/or opportunities to \"\"test\"\" via video or Skype. Others will allow you to list all of your training and experience to calculate your equivalent belt in their school. My point to all of this being, a black belt is easy to get. But what do you want to get out of it? If your definition of a black belt is someone who is highly proficient in the forms and traditions of their system, then you can probably get there in about 2-3 years with consistent weekly practice. You'll be able to put on a good show."

"text": "\"Roy Harris Interview on BJJ Over 40, DVD Review Roy Harris has a great instructional DVD specifically targeted to the OMJJ's over 40 years old (Volume 3 of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: The Best of Roy Harris ). When I started BJJ, it was very difficult to keep at it. Being very out of shape, I would get very winded. Gassing combined with little moves to use, I was like a big fat wrestling dummy for the youthful ones to beat on. After class, all I could muster was laying down (and moaning). The more practical techniques I learned, the easier BJJ became. I wish that I had watched Master Harris's DVD sooner. The apparent lack of information/technique geared to the older player is an original reason that I started this blog. This DVD gives a great blueprint to start BJJ, regardless of age. Even after you have a foundation, it still has many lessons to offer."

"text": "Progression & the Belt System Contents [ show]The Journey from White to Black Belt in BJJThe belt system in BJJ is highly regarded, and for good reason. Unlike many other martial arts, where rank promotions can be acquired in relatively short periods and often with very little practical requirements, the Brazilian jiu jitsu belt system is quite strict and difficult to progress through. You know that unless he ‘bought’ it from a scumbag instructor or awarded it to himself, the holder of a belt is usually at the expected level of competency. It can take upwards of 10 years to achieve the dan (black belt) grade, and requires not only technical knowledge, but also verifiable ability in sparring. Competition experience is also often expected. And as there are only a few belts, you will spend a long time on each one. Also, your progress will not be linear. You might spend 1 year at one belt and 5 years at another. It’s both an extremely challenging and rewarding institution, and it’s no surprise that the community pounces on anyone who messes with it. Belts Are Not Always Good Indicators of Ability Belt promotions don’t always go with hand in hand with skill or even knowledge and vary according to the coach and student."

"text": "10 Tips on How to Fit BJJ into Your Budget By jerry tsui - March 4, 2015In my 3 years at my BJJ school, I would occasionally bump into former training partners that just disappeared after training for several months. I would often ask them why they stopped attending classes and a common response would be “not having the money to train.” On a surface level, this sounds like a reasonable response. In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, training in martial arts is not on the bottom of the pyramid with food and shelter. However, if they were passionate about Jiu Jitsu and their training, they would take a hard look at their lifestyle and finances and find a way to afford training. Training in Jiu Jitsu isn’t cheap. In Los Angeles, a monthly membership to 24 Hour Fitness can range from $25 to $50 per month while a good BJJ school will run $100 or higher each month. Top schools such as Cobrinha’s , Kron Gracie, Romulo Barral, and AOJ can easily run $200 or more each month. In addition to the membership costs is the high cost of equipment. Rash guards can run anywhere from $25 to $75."

This style though previously established in its native country, became highly popular within the northern hemisphere after a series of performances from BJJ fighter Royce Gracie in the early UFC’s (Ultimate Fighting Championship) where he battled against competitors from many different martial arts backgrounds in the no holds barred tournament, becoming the fighting promotion’s first champion. This event proved Jiu Jitsu’s efficiency and helped raise awareness all around the world, becoming one of the reasons behind the sport’s growth (but not the only one). The Birth of Jiu Jitsu Main Figures of Jiu Jitsu Main Jiu Jitsu Teams Main Jiu Jitsu Tournaments BJJ Competition Videos Celebrities in Jiu Jitsu Jiu Jitsu’s Birth in Brazil The history of Jiu Jitsu in Brazil mainly derives from one man, Mitsuyo Maeda – known in Brazil as Conde Coma (Count Coma). Maeda was a student of Jigoro Kano and his Kodokan School of martial arts. Though Kano is widely recognized as the father of Judo, his style of teaching was regarded in the early days as a branch of Ju Jitsu and not it’s own martial style. In fact, Jigoro’s branch of Ju Jitsu has been diluted from its original format over the years by consistent changes to Judo’s rules and regulations. Mitsuyo Maeda was one of Jigoto Kano’s star pupils, and as such he was asked to help spread the word of his master’s style. Maeda travelled all over the globe displaying the art in arenas and circuses, travelling through the United States, England and many other countries before landing in Brazil. It was in Brazil that he met students such Carlos Gracie ."

Enjoy the grade you are at, and be the best! train hard, and if you are that good, go compete and bring back the gold. worry about improving your game, not about the colour of your belt. You will attain respect by showing great technique Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art that takes a lot of practice and a lot of dedication. Unlike many other martial arts where you go to a grading and just display some techniques, in jiu jitsu you really have to earn your belt with plenty of hours on the mat. The more often you train the faster you will likely progress. With 2 sessions a week it will probably take you over two years to get it but if you train say 4-5 times a week, you progress will be much faster. BJJ blue belts vary in skill level enormously.

"text": "The history of Jiu-Jitsu A brief history of the gentle art, from the samurai to the UFC champions and IBJJF gold medalists Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ (also written as jujitsu or jujutsu) is a martial art of Japanese origin in which one essentially uses levers, torsions and pressure in order to take one’s opponent to the ground and dominate them. Literally, jū in Japanese means ‘gentleness,’ and jutsu means ‘art,’ ‘technique.’ Hence the literal translation by which it’s also known, the ‘gentle art. ’Its secular origin, as with almost all ancient martial arts, cannot be pinpointed precisely. Similar fighting styles have been verified in many peoples, from India to China, in the 3rd and 8th centuries. What is known is that its environment of development and refinement were the schools of the samurai, the warrior caste of feudal Japan. Its creation derives from the fact that, in the battlefield or during any confrontation, a samurai could wind up bereft of his swords of spears, at which point he would need a weapon-less method of defense. Since traumatic strikes were not sufficient in this type of showdown, as the samurai wore armor, the takedowns and torsions began gaining ground due to their efficiency. Thus Jiu-Jitsu was born in contraposition to kenjitsu and other so-called rigid arts, wherein the combatants wielded swords and other weapons. Mitsuyo Maeda, a.k.a."

"text": "\"Andy Chen, studied at University of California, Irvine Answered Mar 11, 2016 · Author has 348 answers and 1.2m answer views Conor lost to Nate for a few reason, but chief among them is Conor's uncharacteristic lack of conditioning and game planning, as well as Nate's incredible durability. Before this fight occurred, I had Conor winning this fight by UD or TKO. If Nate turned out the winner, I thought he would have somehow taken Conor to the ground through a clinch trip or catching one of Conor's kicks for a takedown, followed by a submission. What I didn't expect was for Conor to fatigue so quickly in the 2nd, Nate turning up the heat in the second round and rocking Conor on the feet, and Nate submitting Conor AFTER a desperate takedown by the Irishman. Everyone knew going into the fight that Conor's biggest chance of losing was in a ground battle against Diaz. For him to go for the takedown showed how badly Diaz was hurting Conor on the feet. The first round started the way many people (and many Conor fans) had thought or hoped it would; Conor looked amazing in the standup, hitting Nate with powerful left straights, flashy somersault kicks, and all the while slipping or dodging most of Nate's strikes. At the end of the round Conor looked like he was well on his way to dismantling a tough opponent at 170 pounds and adding another signifiant victory to his impressive record. Then the second round happened. In hindsight, Nate Diaz, despite having his face beaten up and bloodied in the first round, never once looked rocked or significantly hurt by Conor's strikes."

Scientists estimate there are over 1 million insect species on the planet, living in every conceivable environment from volcanoes to glaciers. Insects help us by pollinating our food crops, decomposing organic matter, providing researchers with clues to a cancer cure, and even solving crimes. They can also harm us, such as by spreading diseases and damaging plants and structures. Whether you are trying to figure out what’s eating your squash, or just enjoy things that crawl, hop, and fly, learning about the insects in our lives is a worthwhile pursuit. How Are Insects Classified? Insects are arthropods. All animals in the phylum Arthropoda have exoskeletons, segmented bodies, and at least three pairs of legs.

Mollusks have bilateral symmetry and a digestive system with two openings. Most species of mollusks have an open circulatory system, in which the blood is not always inside blood vessels. Most mollusks that live in water have gills, organs that allow oxygen from the water to enter the body. Biologists classify mollusks into groups based on physical characteristics such as the presence of a shell, the type of shell, the type of foot, and the type of nervous system. Gastropods are the largest group of mollusks, and include snails and slugs. Gastropods have a single external shell or no shell at all. Gastropods can live nearly everywhere on Earth.

"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."

"text": "Learn about Pollination Pollination is an important process in the reproduction of plants that bear seeds. Without pollination, these plants would not be able to produce fruits! Yes, almost all the fruits that we eat and the beautiful flowers that we enjoy come from pollination! If you have seen yellow grains, sometimes white, black or green colored grains in the flowers, these are pollen that help fertilize the plants’ cells and turn these into seeds. Pollen acts as the main component in pollination, helping the flowers and plants create seeds that grow into fruits. How does pollination work? Pollination happens when pollen created from the plant’s male reproductive system (called the anther or stamen) is moved to the female reproductive system (called the stigma or pistil). This fertilizes the plant’s cells to produce seeds. Have you seen how bees surround your garden? If you try to observe them carefully, bees go from one flower to another as they try to gather nectar (a sugary drink) from the flowers."

Many animal orders include scavengers; from the largest big cats to the smallest insects. Many insect scavengers are considered pests and rely on humans to provide food for them to scavenge, but scavengers are also beneficial to other animals. Evolving Scavenger Insects Members of the scavenger beetle family (Hydrophilidae) are versatile feeders and are not solely scavengers, despite their name. These aquatic beetles feed mainly on decaying organic matter, but some have adapted to become part-time predators too. These tiny beetles are not considered pests and are of benefit to human settlements. Although it is not named for its scavenging habits per se, the dung beetle is perhaps the best known scavenging beetle. It feeds on the excrement of other animals and is famous for rolling dung into balls for later consumption. However, one species of dung beetle has evolved into quite a ferocious predator."

"text": "The Truth About Payday Loans Payday lenders market their products as convenient solutions to temporary cash-flow problems. Don’t buy the hype. If you’re struggling to make ends meet, chances are you’ll be even worse off if you take out a payday loan. The truth is: Payday loans are an extremely expensive form of borrowing money. They often carry triple-digit interest rates and include all kinds of hidden fees. One payday loan can quickly snowball into too much debt for one family to handle. Many payday borrowers come up short on their loan’s due date, so they must take out a new loan to pay off the old one. Or sometimes, lenders will offer consumers additional cash if they take out a new loan to pay off the old one. This is called “rolling over” a loan. Each time a loan is rolled over, the lender tacks on additional fees."

"text": "Payday lenders seem to be everywhere, promising borrowers quick cash for a fee. While the fees are seemingly small at about $10 to $30 for every $100 borrowed, the costs can add up when borrowers roll over loans from one pay period to the next, resulting in an effective interest rate of 200%, 300% or more. And unfortunately, four out of five payday borrowers roll over their loans, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Payday lenders and car title lenders often target borrowers with bad or nonexistent credit who have limited borrowing options. However, there are an increasing number of options for borrowers with poor credit. Alternative lenders To showcase some options, Nerd Wallet compared payday loan rates with those of alternative lenders across the U. S. We looked at $300 loans lasting five months, which simulates the experience of a typical payday loan borrower, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. The study by Pew found that on average borrowers would pay $459 in fees for a $300 payday loan held for five months, while people borrowing from community banks and credit unions typically will pay about $13 in fees for a $300 loan. The average cost for a $300 five-month loan ranged from $172 in Colorado, where such loans are strictly regulated, to $701 in Texas, where lenders on average charged an annual percentage rate of 454%. Fees for payday loans vary widely from state to state due to differing regulations. However, a $300 personal loan from a small bank or credit union on average costs $446 less than a payday loan."

That is an important question, because the answer really depends on what type of loan you are looking for. There are loans that you could get in a matter of hours, or those that will take you a week or two before approval. The important thing is to analyze your situation and decide which type of loan is best for you. It is not a wise idea to base which loan you get based on how quickly you get it, especially as the pay back conditions may not be to your liking. When you wonder about how long does it take to get a loan, it is important to remember that payday, or amortizing, loans are the fastest type of loan that you can possibly get. These loans are very different from traditional bank loans. Pay day loans range from $300 to $1000. Most typically you will start off with a loan of $300 to $500, and if you pay that back you will be eligible for further loans in the future."

"text": "Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. But times must be desperate indeed if you have to pay triple-digit interest rates for a small, short-term loan, particularly when it means risking the loss of your car. Unfortunately, a growing number of Americans who find themselves in a financial bind are turning to car title loans, a source for quick money that could end up costing them their vehicle, often the most valuable thing they own. Title loans are marketed as small emergency loans, with the customer handing over his or her car title and an extra set of keys as collateral. A typical car title loan has a triple-digit annual interest rate, requires payment within one month and is for much less than the value of the car. “Title loans trap borrowers in perpetual debt through unaffordable balloon payments, high interest costs and the threat of repossession,” says Jean Ann Fox, director of consumer protection at the Consumer Federation of America. Car title lenders generally require prospective borrowers to have free and clear title to the car before giving a loan. The lender then decides how much the consumer can borrow, based on the vehicle’s value. The loan-to-value ratio is rarely greater than 33 percent, making it a win-win situation for the lender if the borrower defaults. Title loans usually carry an interest rate of about 25 percent for 30 days."

"text": "What is a Loan Agreement? Few people sail through life without borrowing. With few exceptions, almost everyone takes a loan to buy a car, finance a home purchase, pay for a college education or cover a medical emergency. Loans are nearly ubiquitous and so are the agreements that guarantee their repayment. Loan agreements are binding contracts between two or more parties to formalize a loan process. There are many types of loan agreements, ranging from simple promissory notes between friends and family members to more detailed contracts like mortgages, auto loans, credit card and short- or long-term payday advance loans. Simple loan agreements can be little more than short letters spelling out how long a borrower has to pay back money and what interest might be added to the principal. Others, like mortgages, are elaborate documents that are filed as public records and allow lenders to repossess the borrower’s property if the loan isn’t repaid as agreed. Each type of loan agreement and its conditions for repayment are governed by both state and federal guidelines designed to prevent illegal or excessive interest rate on repayment. Loan agreements typically include covenants, value of collateral involved, guarantees, interest rate terms and the duration over which it must be repaid."

The level of the cap, which has not yet been announced, will be decided by the new industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The Treasury says there is \"\"growing evidence\"\" in support of the move, including the effects of a cap already in place in Australia. But the industry said the move could restrict credit, and encourage more illegal lending. The cap will be included in the Banking Reform Bill, which is already going through Parliament.

"text": "Quick Loans Online- Same Day For Bad Credit Quick Payday Loans When you apply for quick payday loans from a reputable lender, your income will be checked plus your financial information. If your checking account is in good condition then the amount will be deposited to your account within 15 minutes or an hour. In some cases, when an electronic transfer is conducted, it could take 2 hours but not longer than 36 hours. However, the lender will require a signed check or permission to electronically withdraw cash from the borrower’s account when the payday loan is due. This type of loan is usually due by the next payday and it is essential that you choose wisely when taking out a payday loan. You have to remember that these types of loans are for the short-term and should be paid back as soon as you can. In situations where the borrower fails to repay the payday loan, the lender will try to withdraw the borrowed amount and interest from the borrower’s account. When your account is not funded sufficiently, the payday loan rollover for another cycle. When dealing with online lenders, they will initiate an electronic transfer which in turn will deduct the loan amount plus interest. Online payday loans can go through direct payday lenders."

I am in such a hole from this now that I have had to retake the loan every two weeks for MONTHS!! I can't get out I tried going down by $50 everytime but that plus the fee is more then $200 a month I cant do it anymore I am so in the hole. I am going to see if there is anyway they can take payments to pay this off instead of the constant paying and renewing. I can't keep doing it. Can they sue me or can I get in legal trouble for not paying it back and doing a payment arrangement? It scares me because they take a check but i think legally if the check is post dated that they cant report me to the bad check system? Has anyone out here gone through Amscot and did a payment arrangement?"

They are sometimes called “cash advances”. Payday loans don’t require a credit check. If you are employed and can prove you get a regular paycheck, you could get a payday loan. The way it works is that you write a check for the amount of cash you want, plus the loan company’s fee. You date the check to fall on your next payday at which time the loan company cashes it. The good and bad of a payday loan The good of a payday loan is that it’s an easy way to get fast cash. If you were to find yourself in an emergency situation like you suddenly needed to repair your car, a payday loan could be an easy way to get the money you need. The bad of a payday loan is how much they cost."

"text": "A payday loan is a short-term, high-interest loan, generally for $500 or less, that’s designed to bridge the gap between paychecks. The quick cash infusion is nice, but when you apply for a payday loan, you may wind up getting more than you bargained for. As the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau notes on its site, these loans are typically for small amounts but give lenders access to your checking account or require you to write a check for the full balance in advance, which the lender can deposit when the loan comes due. Worse still, payday loans carry sensationally high interest rates, with some costing as much as 400%. That’s serious money for a cash-strapped consumer, and though state laws and other factors influence charges, you’ll want to enter a payday loan agreement carefully. In this article, we’ll discuss how payday loans, including payday loans for bad credit, work and why it’s important to read the fine print. What Is a Payday Loan? There are many terms for this kind of credit — payday loans, cash advance loans, check advance loans, deferred deposit loans or post-dated check loans — which you can get from a variety of sources. Whether you walk into a payday lender’s store or apply online, the process is basically the same: You provide some personal and financial information, request a loan for a certain dollar amount (secured by check or bank account debit authorization), pay a fee for the loan and receive the cash or deposit into your bank account. Several factors determine how much you can borrow, but your credit isn’t one of them, as the phrase “no credit check” indicates. (“"

The lender holds the check for the loan period and then deposits it, or the customer returns with cash to reclaim the check. Quick Facts about Payday Loans You may only borrow a total of $700 or 30% of your gross monthly income, whichever is less. Your information will be registered in a state-wide database, ensuring that all payday lenders have your most up-to-date loan information. You may only take 8 payday loans per 12-month period. If you are unable to repay your loan before your loan is due, you may request an installment plan with no additional fees. If you currently have an installment plan you may not receive another loan. Lenders may not harass or intimidate you when collecting a loan. If you are harassed, contact DFI and file a complaint."

Please if anyone has or will be contacted by these people, please tell them to go jump in the lake. It's a shame that we are preyed upon by unscrupulous cowards that are afraid to work and only want to cheat hard working people. Original review: Sept. 3, 2016I received an e-mail dated 9/2/16 stating that a lawsuit was being filed against me for an unpaid loan of $740.00. When I requested that Michael ** produce the original signature document, he evaded my request. He continued to state that if it wasn't resolve in 48 hours that they would file with the FTC, FBI, ICS and my employer. I don't recall creating this debt and only wanted to verify that it was indeed created by myself. Because of his unwillingness to provide this requested information I suspect this to be a bogus request. True I did have several payday loans which were part of a bankruptcy in 2012 and I am not going to pay for something that was part of that case. Because of these actions I find this business practice to be unreasonable and troublesome."

Top Ten Tips Disclaimer Allowable Deductions Under the FLSAUnder the Fair Labor Standards Act, allowable deductions from minimum wage include: Meals, Lodging, and Other Facilities Tip Credits Voluntary Wage Assignments Loans and Wage Advances Vacation Pay Advances Uniforms and Uniform Cleaning Costs Employee-Owed Payroll Taxes Union Dues Court-Ordered Garnishments or Statutorily-Required Wage Attachments Cash Shortages Due to Misappropriation Meals, Lodging, and Other Facilities Top of Page Under restricted circumstances, the employer may deduct the reasonable cost of meals, lodging, and other facilities furnished to the employee in connection with the employment, provided, among other things, that the employer does not profit thereby (see 29 U. S. C. 203 (m), 29 C. F. R. 531.29, and 29 C. F. R. 531.33; recordkeeping requirements are found in 29 C. F. R. 516.27; also see FOH, Sections 30c00 - 30c09, mentioning restrictions on deductions and some narrowly-defined administrative costs associated with certain facilities that can be included as a credit against minimum wage). Employer expenditures for meals, lodging, and other facilities furnished to employees fall under the category of \"\"payments in kind\"\", regulated by the Texas Payday Law (Section 61.016 (b) of the Texas Labor Code), and deductions for such costs must be authorized in writing by the employee. Tip Credits Top of Page Under Section 203 (m), an employer need pay a \"\"tipped employee\"\" only $2.13 per hour, since the law assumes that tips will make up the difference between that amount and minimum wage (this did not change with the recent increase in the minimum wage). A \"\"tipped employee\"\" is defined as someone who earns at least $30 per month in tips (29 U. S. C. § 203 (t)). If such an employee feels that the tips do not make up the difference, he or she may request a review of the problem by the DOL under 29 C. F. R. 531.7. Since the tip credit is in cash and the actual tips are paid not by the employer, but by customers, this would not be a \"\"payment in kind\"\", as is the case with a deduction for lodging furnished to an employee. Even though paying a tipped employee $2.13 per hour can be thought of as the end result of deducting the tip credit of $5.12 per hour from the required minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, the tip credit does not have to be authorized in writing by the employee in order to be valid under the Texas Payday Law, since it is specifically authorized by the federal statute. However, Section 203 (m) provides that the tip credit may not be used toward payment of minimum wage \"\"unless such employee has been informed by the employer of the provisions of this subsection, and all tips received by such employee have been retained by the employee, except that this subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the pooling of tips among employees who customarily and regularly receive tips.\"\" New disclosure requirements for tipped employees, adopted by DOL in 2011, are found in 29 C. F. R. § 531.59 (b): prior to taking the tip credit, the employer must notify tipped employees of the following: the amounts of the cash wage paid and tip credit taken; that the tip credit may not exceed the value of the tips actually received; that all tips received by the employee must be retained by the employee except for amounts contributed toward a valid tip-pooling arrangement; and that the tip credit will not apply to any employee who has not been informed of these requirements."

In the event that no such provincial legislation exists (as is the case in Newfoundland and Labrador) payday loans are limited by usury laws, with any effective (compound) rate of interest charged above 60% per annum considered criminal. However, so far this has not been enforced by Newfoundland and Labrador. On August 14, 2006, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued its decision in a class action lawsuit against A OK Payday Loans.

Go to: Abstract The role of gastrointestinal hormones in the regulation of appetite is reviewed. The gastrointestinal tract is the largest endocrine organ in the body. Gut hormones function to optimize the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients by the gut. In this capacity, their local effects on gastrointestinal motility and secretion have been well characterized. By altering the rate at which nutrients are delivered to compartments of the alimentary canal, the control of food intake arguably constitutes another point at which intervention may promote efficient digestion and nutrient uptake. In recent decades, gut hormones have come to occupy a central place in the complex neuroendocrine interactions that underlie the regulation of energy balance."

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The endocrine system consists of tissues that secrete hormones. In this case, the hormones we are looking at are insulin and glucagon. They are called antagonistic hormones because their effects are opposites of each other. A stimulus is required to initiate the system. In this case, it is the rise/fall in blood sugar (glucose) levels. The normal blood-sugar level is 90mg/100ml."

"text": "Interactions of Hormones at Target Cells Hormones that act to return body conditions to within acceptable limits from opposite extremes are called antagonistic hormones. Learning Objectives Differentiate among the interactions (permissiveness, antagonism, and synergy) of hormones at target cells Key Takeaways Key Points Permissiveness is the situation in which a hormone cannot exert its full effects without the presence of another hormone. Synergism occurs when two or more hormones produce the same effects in a target cell and their results are amplified. Antagonism occurs when a hormone opposes or reverses the effect of another hormone. Key Termsantagonism: When a substance binds to the same site an agonist would bind to without causing activation of the receptor.synergism: Two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable.permissiveness: A certain relationship between hormones and the target cell when the presence of one hormone, at a certain concentration, is required in order to allow a second hormone to fully affect the target cell. Permissiveness In biology, permissiveness is a certain relationship between hormones and the target cell. It can be used to describe situations in which the presence of one hormone, at a certain concentration, is required to allow a second hormone to fully affect the target cell. For example, thyroid hormones increase the number of receptors available for epinephrine at the latter’s target cell, thereby increasing epinephrine’s effect at that cell. Without the thyroid hormones, epinephrine would have only a weak effect. Another example is cortisol, which exerts a permissive effect on growth hormones."

S197Previous Next Article Info & Metrics PDFModulation of Islet Hormone Release by GLP-1 Agonism Abstract Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 is a gut hormone that stimulates insulin secretion, gene expression, and β-cell growth. Together with the related hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), it is responsible for the incretin effect, the augmentation of insulin secretion after oral as opposed to intravenous administration of glucose. Type 2 diabetic patients typically have little or no incretin-mediated augmentation of insulin secretion. This is due to decreased secretion of GLP-1 and loss of the insulinotropic effects of GIP. GLP-1, however, retains insulinotropic effects, and the hormone effectively improves metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. Continuous subcutaneous administration greatly improved glucose profiles and lowered body weight and Hb A 1c levels. Further, free fatty acid levels were lowered, insulin resistance was improved, and β-cell performance was greatly improved. The natural peptide is rapidly degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV), but resistant analogs as well as inhibitors of DPP IV are now under development, and both approaches have shown remarkable efficacy in experimental and clinical studies."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Biochemistry Hormones How do glucagon and insulin work together? Flag How do glucagon and insulin work together? Answer by Bobbles Confidence votes 1.8KInsulin is secreted when blood sugar rises. It works by stimulating receptors on tissue cells to escort glucose into the cells. It all suppresses glucagon, hormone-sensitive lipase (a hormone responsible for mobilizing and using fat stores) and suppresses the appetite centers in the brain. Glucagon is secreted when blood sugar is low. It triggers gluconeogenesis in the liver, which means that fats and proteins are converted into glucose and released into the blood. It also is responsible for mobilizing glycogen stores, suppresses insulin, and mobilizes fat stores. So glucagon and insulin not only do opposite things, they are antagonistic to each other, meaning when one is high the other one is low. They do not technically work \"\"together\"\"."

"text": "Insulin vs Glucagon Insulin and glucagon have both similarities and differences. Both are hormones secreted by the pancreas but they are made from different types of cells in the pancreas. Both help manage the blood glucose levels in the body but they have opposite effects. Both respond to blood glucose levels but they have opposite effects. Each of us has insulin and glucagon in our systems because it is a strict requirement that the blood sugar level in the body is kept in a narrow therapeutic range. You need both insulin and glucagon to respond to various levels of glucose in the bloodstream. While insulin responds and is secreted by the pancreas upon having high glucose levels in the bloodstream, glucagon responds and is secreted by the pancreas upon having low glucose levels in the bloodstream. This maintains homeostasis in the body and keeps the blood sugar stable at all times. Function of Insulin Insulin is a protein-based hormone that is secreted by the beta cells inside the pancreas whenever the pancreas senses that the blood sugar is too high. Low levels of insulin are constantly being secreted into the bloodstream by the pancreas, even when blood glucose levels are normal."

"text": "ENDOCRINE SYSTEMI. INTRODUCTIONThe endocrine system consists of ductless (endocrine) glands that secrete biologically active chemicals called hormones into the blood or surrounding interstitial fluid. Hormones affect the metabolism of their target organs and regulation of metabolism, body growth and reproduction. Both the endocrine and nervous systems functions cooperatively in regulating body processes. The endocrine system maintains signals and the nervous system receives and provides signals both externally and internally. For example, violent and frightful reactions from outside are fed to the eyes and ears through nervous system to the brain. We respond to those reactions by either running away or fighting. The nervous system also evokes hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine) also called adrenalin to a series of chemical reactions that responds to this situation both physically and mentally. The concept of hormone secretion (primary function of ductless glands) is also extended to include organs that secrete hormones (including those with ducts). Organs such as skin, heart, liver, brain and kidneys have been shown recently to secrete hormones in addition to performing other functions."

Herr * †, in International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, 20124.2Glucagon receptor The glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a Class B GPCR that has an important role in maintenance of glucose homeostasis and, as such, is considered to be a valuable target for the treatment of diabetes. Mutations of the GCGR gene are associated with congenital noninsulin-dependent diabetes ( Hager et al., 1995 ), and inhibition of GCGR in vivo lowers blood glucose and improves glucose tolerance in obese diabetic mice ( Liang et al., 2004 ). Studies of immunologic blockade of GCGR date back to at least 1996 when polyclonal antibodies were generated to identify important epitopes to target for receptor antagonism ( Unson et al., 1996 ). Recently, a group at Amgen, Inc. has reported the generation of fully human m Ab antagonists for GCGR by immunization of humanized mice with GCGR peptides or full-length, membrane-bound recombinant GCGR protein ( Yan et al., 2009 ). These antibodies specifically bound and showed functional blocking activity in vitro for GCGR, but not the closely related glucagon-like peptide receptors ( Yan et al., 2009 )."

Watanabe, H. Hayasaki, T. Tamayama and M. Shimada Department of Anatomy, Osaka Medical College, Takatsuki, Osaka, Japan Abstract Text References Correspondence and Footnotes Abstract Insulin and glucagon are the hormonal polypeptides secreted by the B and A cells of the endocrine pancreas, respectively. Their major physiologic effects are regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, but they have opposite effects. Insulin and glucagon have various physiologic roles, in addition to the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. The physiologic effects of insulin and glucagon on the cell are initiated by the binding of each hormone to receptors on the target cells. Morphologic studies may be useful for relating biochemical, physiologic, and pharmacologic information on the receptors to an anatomic background. Receptor radioautography techniques using radioligands to label specific insulin and glucagon receptors have been successfully applied to many tissues and organs. In this review, current knowledge of the histologic distribution of insulin and glucagon receptors is presented with a brief description of receptor radioautography techniques. Key words: radioautography, insulin, glucagon, receptor, distribution Introduction Insulin is a hormone secreted by B cells, and glucagon is secreted by A cells of the pancreas."

"text": "\"Blood sugar regulation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ball-and-stick model of a glucose molecule Blood sugar regulation is the process by which the levels of blood sugar, primarily glucose, are maintained by the body within a narrow range. This tight regulation is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin, which lowers blood sugar, and glucagon, which raises it, are the most well known of the hormones involved, but more recent discoveries of other glucoregulatory hormones have expanded the understanding of this process.

Blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in balance. The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by many tissues, but the cells in the pancreatic islets are among the most well understood and important. Glucagon [ edit]If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels (as during very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a hormone whose effects on liver cells act to increase blood glucose levels. They convert glycogen into glucose (this process is called glycogenolysis ). The glucose is released into the bloodstream, increasing blood sugar. Hypoglycemia, the state of having low blood sugar, is treated by restoring the blood glucose level to normal by the ingestion or administration of dextrose or carbohydrate foods."

The hormonal message in the body is that it is in a fed state and action is to put goodies into storage. CHO -------> glycogen, triacylglycerol (glycerol and fatty acids), non-essential amino acids Amino acids --------> protein synthesis (mostly muscles and liver)Lipids --------> triglycerides (adipose tissue for storage)Half-life of insulin is 10 to 15 min and degradation by insulinase (several enzymes). Potency effect of insulin varies with target tissue (muscle and adipose are strongly affected but liver is not as affected by insulin, CNS is unaffected, except hypothalamus, satiety center which requires insulin for glucose uptake)Release of insulin: Stimulated by glucose, amino acids (leu and arg), glucagon, sulfonylurea, c AMP, secretin, pancreozymin, gut factors, vagal nerve stimulation. Inhibited by epinephrine, norepinephrine, (sugars used in research experiments: D-mannoheptulose, 2-Deoxyglucose), Diazoxide, Vagatomy. Glucagon: Polypeptide hormone released due to low blood glucose as perceived by the alpha-cell of the pancreas. The permeability of glucose to these cells is insulin sensitive. Liver is most sensitive to glucagon, it causes increased blood glucose by rapid glycogenolysis, increase gluconeogenesis by inhibiting PK thru phosphorylation, and slows down PFK and turns on FBPase. Glucagon also increase ketogenesis by increasing lipolysis thru HSL., it also increase Ac Co A via beta oxidation, stimulate gluconeogenesis, and increase ureagenesis via increasing amino acid to donate N, providing C-skeletons for gluconeogenesis and urea synthesis also increased."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology Why does glucagon only target liver cells?the hormone glucagon is a protein. it targets liver cells but does not affect other cells in the body. explain why? Update: its more in terms of facilitated diffusion i think. like.. carrier proteins? i dunno... Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Glucagon is produced in the pancreas, by cells called pancreatic alpha cells. Glucagon causes the liver to release stores of glucose from hepatic polymers called glycogen, it also signals the liver to start a process called gluconeogenesis, in which glucose is produced from amino-acids after hepatic glycogen stores are depleted. Glucagon also targets fat cells, for the conversion of fat to glucose by lipolysis. This is all due to the auto-regulated system of the body trying to compensate for hypoglycemia. Hope this helped."

What is its function? The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood. Steroid hormones: A steroid hormone is a lipid--an organic (carbon containing) molecule that is fat soluble but not water soluble--that also acts a hormone. All steroid hormones are made up of three six-carbon rings, one five-carbon ring, and a unique side chain, a basic structure that is characteristic of the cholesterol molecule. Nonsteroid hormones Are synthesized from amino acids there are three main types, amine hormones, the modified versions of single amino acids. Peptide hormones - short chains of amino acids (as few as three). Protein hormones - made of polypeptides having as many as 200 amino acids. These operate by binding to receptor proteins the plasma membrane sets off protein relay system that activates enzyme in the membrane. The enzyme converts ATP to c AMP."

"text": "In cell biology, a receptor is a region on the cell membrane that binds to a substance. Usually, receptors are proteins found on or within the membrane. Many different types of molecules can bind to receptors on the cell surface, including hormones. An insulin receptor is an example of a receptor that binds to a hormones, specifically insulin. Insulin is a very important hormone as it regulates the level of glucose, a sugar, in the blood. This protein is formed in specialized cells of the pancreas called beta islet cells. In response to levels of glucose in the blood, these cells become activated to produce insulin. In other words, if the glucose level is high, the islet cells produce and secrete insulin. When the glucose levels are low, they stop the production of the hormone. Insulin is secreted into the blood stream so that it can be carried throughout the body."

"text": "\"Home » Diet & Nutrition June 26, 2008Reader Response: Insulin Index By Worker Bee82 Comments Print Reader Pete asked for some thoughts on the “Insulin Index,” a measurement chart similar to the glycemic index. While the glycemic index calculates the relative blood sugar rise induced by given foods, the insulin index evaluates the insulin response generated by 38 different foods. The insulin index, which first made its appearance in a 1997 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition article, was primarily the creation of Susanne Holt, a graduate student at the time and now a doctor. Interestingly, Holt, her supervisory co-authors, or other researchers haven’t chosen to conduct further research to update the “preliminary” results of their insulin index study since its creation eleven years ago now. While Holt and her co-authors found a high correlation between glycemic index and insulin index measurements, they stumbled upon an intriguing exception. High protein, virtually no-carb foods like meat and eggs, while low on the glycemic index, measured high on the insulin index. In other words, while the meat and eggs didn’t cause a spike in blood sugar the way most carbohydrates do, they did result in an unexpectedly significant rise in insulin. ( Baked goods, with their high levels of refined carbs, elicited a very high rise in insulin as well. Of course, this comes as less of a surprise. ) Obviously, the index has some eyebrow-raising potential, especially in those of us who choose a high protein diet."

Myocardial metabolism Glucose metabolism Despite periods of feeding and fasting, in normal individuals plasma glucose remains in a narrow range between 4 and 7 m M reflecting the balance between: (i) the release of glucose into the circulation by either absorption from the intestine or the breakdown of stored glycogen in the liver and (ii) the uptake and metabolism of blood glucose by peripheral tissues [1]. These processes are controlled by a set of metabolic hormones. For decades diabetes had been viewed from a bi-hormonal perspective of glucose regulation involving insulin (discovered in the 1920s; released by pancreatic β-cells ) and glucagon (discovered in the 1950s; released by the pancreatic α-cells) [2]. In the mid-1970s several gut hormones, the incretins, were identified. One of these, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), was recognized as another important contributor to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Subsequently the discovery in 1987, of a second pancreatic β-cell hormone, amylin, whose role complemented that of insulin, led to the view of glucose homeostasis involving multiple hormones [2]. Amylin, like insulin is found to be deficient in people with diabetes. Hormones produced by adipose tissue also play a critical role in the regulation of energy intake, energy expenditure, and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. These include leptin, adiponectin, acylation stimulating protein and resistin . Hormones involved Pancreatic β-cell hormones Insulin is a key anabolic hormone that is secreted from pancreatic β-cells in response to increased blood glucose and amino acids following ingestion of a meal. Insulin, through its action on the insulin receptor decreases blood sugar levels by: (i) increasing glucose uptake in muscle and fat through triggering the translocation of the intracellular glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane (see Insulin-induced glucose transport ); (ii) stimulating the storage of glycogen and fat in muscle, liver and adipose tissues through stimulation of the synthesis of glycogen ( glycogenesis ), fat ( lipogenesis) and protein and (iii) reducing glucose production and release by the liver through inhibition of glycogen breakdown ( glycogenolysis ). Insulin signaling also inhibits the breakdown of fat ( lipolysis) and protein. Amylin is a 37–amino acid neuroendocrine hormone co-expressed and co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic β-cells in response to meals [2]. When secreted by the pancreas, the insulin-to-amylin molar ratio in the portal circulation is approximately 50:1."

"text": "\"Hormonal Regulation of Fuel Metabolism Our discussions of metabolic regulation and hormone action now come together as we return to the hormonal regulation of blood glucose level. The minute-by-minute adjustments that keep the blood glucose level near 4.5 m M involve the combined actions of insulin, glucagon, and epinephrine on metabolic processes in many body tissues, but especially in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Insulin signals these tissues that the blood glucose concentration is higher than necessary; as a result, the excess glucose is taken up from the blood into cells and converted to storage compounds, glycogen and triacylglycerols. Glucagon carries the message that blood glucose is too low, and the tissues respond by producing glucose through glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis and by oxidizing fats to reduce the use of glucose. Epinephrine is released into the blood to prepare the muscles, lungs, and heart for a burst of activity. Insulin, glucagon, and epinephrine are the primary determinants of the metabolic activities of muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. Epinephrine Signals Impending Activity When an animal is confronted with a stressful situation that requires increased activity-fighting or fleeing, in the extreme case-neuronal signals from the brain trigger the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla. Both hormones increase the rate and strength of the heartbeat and raise the blood pressure, thereby increasing the flow of 02 and fuels to the tissues, and dilate the respiratory passages, facilitating the uptake of O 2 (Table 22-3). In its effects on metabolism, epinephrine acts primarily on muscle, adipose tissue, and liver. It activates glycogen phosphorylase and inactivates glycogen synthase (by c AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzymes; see Fig."

The pancreas is composed of acinar cells, which produce digestive enzymes, and the islet cells of Langerhans, which produce hormones. What Insulin Does Four hormones are produced by the Langerhans islet cells. Insulin is produced in the B cells, glucagon in the A cells, somatostatin in the D cells, and pancreatic polypeptide in the F cells. Insulin promotes anabolism (building up of tissues) and inhibits catabolism (breaking down of tissues) in muscle, liver, and fat cells. It increases the rate of synthesis (blending) of glycogen, fatty acids, and proteins. Lack of insulin causes diabetes mellitus (a disease characterized by excess sugar in the blood and other body fluids). Insulin's most important feature is its ability to increase the rate of glucose (a crystalline sugar) absorption by cells. Glucose is the most efficient fuel used by and found in almost all cells. Insulin causes a decreased concentration of glucose in the blood and causes the cells to store glycogen (a starchlike substance), mostly in the liver."

"text": "Endocrine System > Endocrine Pancreas Glucagon Glucagon has a major role in maintaining normal concentrations of glucose in blood, and is often described as having the opposite effect of insulin. That is, glucagon has the effect of increasing blood glucose levels. Glucagon is a linear peptide of 29 amino acids. Its primary sequence is almost perfectly conserved among vertebrates, and it is structurally related to the secretin family of peptide hormones. Glucagon is synthesized as proglucagon and proteolytically processed to yield glucagon within alpha cells of the pancreatic islets. Proglucagon is also expressed within the intestinal tract, where it is processed not into glucagon, but to a family of glucagon-like peptides (enteroglucagon). Physiologic Effects of Glucagon The major effect of glucagon is to stimulate an increase in blood concentration of glucose. As discussed previously, the brain in particular has an absolute dependence on glucose as a fuel, because neurons cannot utilize alternative energy sources like fatty acids to any significant extent. When blood levels of glucose begin to fall below the normal range, it is imperative to find and pump additional glucose into blood. Glucagon exerts control over two pivotal metabolic pathways within the liver, leading that organ to dispense glucose to the rest of the body: Glucagon stimulates breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver."

"text": "\"Don Ed Hardy's tattoos are high art and big business Jesse Hamlin, Chronicle Staff Writer Published 4:00 am, Saturday, September 30, 2006Photo: Christina Koci Hernandez Image 1 of 13Detail of Hardy's arms. Don Ed Hardy, in his North each studio, in SF, is a renowned tattoo and fine artist whose images are now being branded on T-shirts, jackets and other merchandise that will gross $20 ... more Forty years ago, Don Ed Hardy blew off a Yale fine-art fellowship to pursue the rogue art of tattoo, a timeless and often taboo tradition that captivated him as a boy in the Orange County beach town of Corona del Mar. By 10 he was drawing cars and eagles on kids' backs and arms with wet colored pencils and Maybelline eyeliner. At the San Francisco Art Institute in the early '60s, Hardy mastered the demanding art of intaglio etching under the tutelage of the late Gordon Cook, a no-jive blue-collar guy who instilled in Hardy a love of craft, Asian art and the quiet power of Giorgio Morandi's little still life pictures. Cook wasn't pleased when his gifted protege jumped into the socially murky waters of tattoo. But it worked out well for the plucky Hardy boy, who blurred the supposed boundary between \"\"high\"\" and \"\"low\"\" art and carved a path through the worlds of art and commerce. He has drawn images on torsos, canvases and giant scrolls with equal conviction and aplomb. A tattoo innovator and historian who expanded the palette and pictorial possibilities of custom-made body art, Hardy, who will talk about his far-ranging work at a free slide-show lecture at Mills College on Wednesday, is also a prolific lithographer, painter and etcher. His blazing images of devils, dragons, bearded ladies and Buddhas -- informed by old master etchings, 12th century Japanese \"\"hell\"\" scrolls and 19th century woodblock prints, Southern California hot-rod striping and the funk and humor of Bay Area art -- are widely exhibited and collected. And for the past year or so, his early tattoo images, the \"\"retro\"\" skulls, sailor girls and derby-topped dragons now in vogue, have appeared on T-shirts, jackets, motorcycles and even energy drinks sold worldwide under the Ed Hardy brand. There are now Ed Hardy stores in New York, Los Angeles, Tucson and Dubai."

"text": "Are Tattoos Safe? The Truth About Tattoo Inks By Deborah Mitchell (0) Comment More than 20 percent of adults in the United States have a tattoo and, believe it or not, women beat out men in this area (23% vs 19%). But how many tattoo-toting men and women know the truth about the tattoo inks that were injected under their skin? If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, do you know which tattoo inks are safe and which ones are not? The first truth about tattoo inks in the US is that while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates substances people ingest and some of the ingredients individuals place on their skin, the agency does not regulate inks that are placed under the skin. That means you must trust the individuals who are providing the tattoo services to use safe inks. But what are safe inks? You don’t get any help from the FDA here either. That’s because the agency does not require the ink makers to reveal the ingredients in their products. Tattoo inks include the pigment, which can include a variety of metallic salts (e.g., oxides, selenides, sulfides), organic dyes, or plastics, and the carriers with which they are mixed to help provide an even application of the ink."

"text": "WHAT IS MICROBLADING? Microblading, also referred to as semi-permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing or eyebrow feathering is the process of implanting colour pigment under the surface of the skin by use of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes. Microblading treatments are perfect for the following: Hair loss and lack of definition, Thin brows caused by years of over tweezing, Chemotherapy or Alopecia, Scars, Lengthening short existing brows, Thickening thin brows, Correcting asymmetry, Active lifestyles, Trouble applying conventional makeup. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICROBLADING AND STANDARD PERMANENT MAKEUP? The purpose of microblading is to enhance the natural features of a client. Microblading is softer and more subtle – it is meant to look much more natural. Microblading uses pigments rather than ink which is used during traditional tattoos. The pigments are designed and meant to gently fade over time. Fading is not considered a bad thing since it allows the artist and client to make changes to colour and shape over the years as natural colouration and facial changes occur. Pigments during microblading are not as tight and densely packed into the skin as a traditional tattoo, or even micropigmentation with an electric permanent makeup device."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions What is Microblading? Microblading, also known as Eyebrow Embroidery is a procedure categorized under permanent makeup, but unlike traditional cosmetic tattooing, it is less invasive and is considered semi-permanent. Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on skin type and skincare routine. The procedure is done by using a hand tool with ultra fine needles and each 'hair' is gently etched into the skin, giving an incredibly natural and realistic look. Microblading can dramatically correct or fully reconstruct lost eyebrow and is excellent for those wanting to enhance their brows or who have little to no eyebrows, thinning brows from age or over tweezed brows. Pigments used are chosen to match the natural or desired brow color and skin tone will also be taken into consideration. How long does it take? For the first Microblading session, the entire procedure should take about 2.5-3 hours. During this session, the brow technician will shape and style the client’s brows for client approval. We then follow with pigment color selection."

The most common malignant cause is invasive ductal carcinoma, which is usually visualized with mammography. Excluding breast cancer, other causes of abnormal lymph nodes that produce a negative mammogram include lymphoma, metastases from other malignancies, and benign etiologies such as inflammatory processes, infectious diseases, collagen vascular diseases, and other miscellaneous causes.

( June 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Permanent makeup: before, immediately after, and healed - brow, eyeliner, and lip procedures Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows, particularly in people who have lost them as a consequence of old age, disease, such as alopecia totalis, chemotherapy, or a genetic disturbance, and to disguise scars and white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo. It is also used to restore or enhance the breast's areola, such as after breast surgery. Most commonly called permanent cosmetics, other names include dermapigmentation, micropigmentation, and cosmetic tattooing, [1] the latter being most appropriate since permanent makeup is, in fact, tattooing. In the United States and under similar arrangements in some other countries, the colourant additives used in permanent makeup pigments are subject to pre market approval as cosmetics and or color additives under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. However, because of other competing public health priorities and a previous lack of evidence of safety problems specifically associated with these pigments, FDA traditionally has not exercised regulatory authority for color additives on the pigments used in tattoo inks.

Tattoo of the Hand of Fatima A rope-and-anchor tattoo, against the original sketch of the design A tattoo is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. The art of making tattoos is tattooing. Tattoos fall into three broad categories: purely decorative (with no specific meaning); symbolic (with a specific meaning pertinent to the wearer); pictorial (a depiction of a specific person or item). Tattoos have historically been regarded in the West as 'uncivilised', and over the last 100 years the fashion has been associated mainly with sailors, working men and criminals. By the end of the 20th Century many Western stigmas of the tattoo culture had been dismissed and the practice has become more acceptable and accessible for people of all trades and levels of society.

"text": "Makeup Face Eyebrow Microblading: The Definitive Allure Guide By Meirav Devash October 13, 2016Nina Westervelt/ Allure By now, you’ve probably heard of—or even considered—the latest semipermanent eyebrow procedures, which got a boost of publicity when Bella Thorne got her brows tatted in a series of Snapchat videos last month. ( If not, we’ll wait for you to catch up: A quick Instagram search for #eyebrowtattoos, #3Dbrows, #archaddicts, or #browsonfleek brings up a never-ending stream of close-up #browspo pics.) The world of brow tattoos is a baffling place. It’s easy to get lost in the jargon: eyebrow embroidery, micropigmentation, tattooing, and microblading; methods include hair strokes, feathering, etching, powder-fill, 3D, 4D, even 6D eyebrows. Hundreds of pics later, you still may not be sure what exactly you’re signing up for. Here’s what you need to know before you go under the needle. ( Or microblade? Don’t worry, we’ll get to all that in a second. ) Call them what you want, but they’re all tattoos.

"text": "MICROBLADING EYEBROWS BY REIGN IN RICHESOUR COMPLETE MICROBLADING GUIDEWhether you’re interested in getting microblading done or want to learn more about this trending eyebrow treatment, you came to the right place! Our complete microblading guide will tell you everything you need to know about microblading eyebrows and what you can expect to experience when you are ready to transform those brows!WHAT IS MICROBLADING? Microblading is a process executed by a certified and experienced cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist using a hand held instrument with a small blade at the end. The cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist will manually and carefully make little incisions in the skin that mimic the existing natural hair creating the perfect blend for the most natural looking eyebrows. This treatment is only semi-permanent due to how the pigments are inserted into the skin. The skin is made of 3 layers; the dermis, epidermis and the subcutaneous. The epidermis is the thin, tough, outer layer of skin that we see and touch. The dermis is the layer below and it contains nerve endings, sweat glands and hair follicles. The final layer is the subcutaneous fat layer which serves as a protective padding. When a client receives microblading, the cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist will precisely penetrate only the first layer and by doing this the pigments only sit on the surface of the skin."

A: This is one of our most commonly asked questions. The answer is no! If anything, it tickles a little. When the curious minded approach one of our temporary airbrush tattoo locations for the first time, they immediately notice the airbrush artist pointing an airbrush tattoo gun at the individual being tattooed. Since most folks are not very familiar with the airbrush, it is often mistaken for a real tattoo gun. This peaks interest and adds to the intrigue, which in turn helps build huge crowds (and huge profits). Anyone who has witnessed one of our temporary airbrush tattoos locations can attest to this. Q: How long does a Temporary Airbrush Tattoo last? A: Tribal Ink Temporary Airbrush Tattoos paints and inks are instant drying, water resistant, and last on average from a few days up to one week, or may be removed instantly with isopropyl alcohol."

"text": "\"Ask the average woman if she'd like to get a tattoo on her face and she'll probably call you crazy. Ask her if she'd like to have perfectly shaped eyebrows that don't require any makeup, however, and she'll probably ask how. The answer: by getting a tattoo on her face. Sort of. Microblading is definitely not the eyebrow tattoos of yesteryear — remember when people would shave off their brow hair and tattoo unnatural-looking lines back on? The cosmetic technique that has become increasingly popular in the last couple of years. It promises bolder brows with a natural appearance ts a small, handheld tool topped off with microneedles, which deposit pigment under the first layer of skin via strokes that resemble brow hairs. Could not be happier with these last minute brows I just busted out at @bonestructurela before I head up to the bay for a week.

I couldn't think of anything else to do. Obviously I could not afford such a surgery and I already had some tattoos, so I thought what a great idea! Much cheaper! And I have never been so happy in my life and if anything, way more confident. When I went outside for the first time in shorts this summer, I felt soo weird! It felt like everyone was staring at my vitiligo, but then people started commenting on how nice my tattoo was! I was thinking \"\"I can get used to this!\"\" I feel truly blessed. I hope myself along with other people with this disease can get as much awarness out as possible."

"text": "Chats How long does a tattoo take to heal? Posted by Le'Esscience on October 30, 2012….. I was asked this on Twitter recently and you can’t answer that question in 140 characters! It’s just not that easily answered but it’s a great question – it depends on these factors: Where on the body your new ink is. Clothes can rub on the new tattoo – different fabrics will be more harsh than others – denims, tight clothes, leggings – leggings have rubbery elastic through them, that can really irritate a new tattoo and prolong the healing process – it’s a really good idea to wear loose cotton clothing. Rubbing in general will irritate the new tattoo -cover it during your working day if necessary – making sure you uncover and wash it as soon as you are home again (so it can breathe) and reapply TINKture. Is your new tattoo colour or black & grey? Colour tattoos can take longer – this is because of what is in the ink – there are metals in coloured ink and these can be hard for the body to accept. Sometimes the body will reject the colour all together and push it out – this is a painful process too. Other times the body just takes time to accept the new colours (red is the hardest to heal). The area can become quite tender to touch, can feel a little hot and swollen."

"text": "Tattoo Removal Cost | 8 Factors That Affect Pricingby Derm Bids | May 29, 2013 | Tattoo Removal | 2 comments T attoo removal cost can be calculated by first determining how many sessions are needed to remove a tattoo. Kirby-Desai Scale was created by doctors to help doctors, laser technicians, and estheticians estimate the amount of laser tattoo removal sessions needed to remove a tattoo regardless of size, color, or shape. By using this model at home, you will have an 80% accuracy determining the number of laser sessions it will take to remove your tattoo. The size of the tattoo also affects the tattoo removal cost, which will further discus later in this post. When you determine the number of sessions and the size of the tattoo, you can ask tattoo removal service providers how much they charge per square inch for laser tattoo removal. Using this formula will give you an estimate of how much it will cost to remove a tattoo. Using the Kirby-Desai Scale We will use the Kirby-Desai Scale to determine the cost of laser tattoo removal. The scale consists of several factors and each will contain a chart with “Points in the Kirby-Desai Scale” in the right column. To determine the amount of sessions needed to remove your tattoo find the number value that best corresponds to you and your tattoo. Total your points to equal your estimated amount of sessions!"

In primitive times it was used for embellishment, whilst in some customs and cultures tattooing represented a sign of distinction or social rank. This remains the case today with some cultures; however, it has also become popular with everyday people of western countries in the last 10–20 years. With the rise in number of people with tattoos in today's society, an increase in the number of tattoo-associated skin disorders can be expected. Reactions that may occur include acuteinflammatory reactions, eczematous hypersensitivity reactions, photo-aggravated reactions, granulomatous reactions, lichenoid reactions and pseudolymphomatous reactions. Acute inflammatory reactions This reaction is in direct response to the piercing of the skin with needles impregnated with pigment dyes prepared from metal salts. There may be transient redness and swelling of the area that disappears within 2–3 weeks. It is an expected side effect of the tattooing process. Koebnerised skin reactions The koebner phenomenon describes the appearance of new lesions of an existing skin disease within a cutaneous injury. A tattoo can result in psoriasis, lichen planus or vitiligo by this mechanism."

However, the endocrine system responds more slowly, and has a longer-lasting, more general effect on the body than the nervous system. Endocrine tissues internally produce hormones which are released into the blood, where they are carried to target tissue and produce a response. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane, producing permeability changes or production of a substance inside the cell. Other hormones diffuse into the cell and cause new proteins to be produced. The secretion of hormones is controlled by negative-feedback mechanisms. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes, ovaries, thymus, and pineal body.

"text": "Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis The hypothalamus, an endocrine organ, regulates the anterior pituitary gland and transports hormones along the posterior pituitary gland. Learning Objectives Describe the hormones released by the anterior posterior pituitary and their effects on the body Key Takeaways Key Points The endocrine system is made up by a group of endocrine glands, including the pituitary glands which are responsible for the release of hormones relating to important bodily functions and regulations. The hypothalamus instigates endocrine responses to environmental changes from messages received from the body and brain. The hypothalamus synthesizes hormones and transports them to the posterior pituitary gland while also synthesizing and secreting regulatory hormones that control cells in the anterior pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary gland, regulated by the hypothalamus, produces seven tropic hormones which control the functioning of other organs. The posterior pituitary stores hormones produced by the hypothalamus and releases them into the blood stream; the gland does not actually produce any hormones. Key Termsadenohypophysis: the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, producing and secreting several peptide hormones that regulate many physiological processes including stress, growth, and reproductionhypophysis: another name for the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brainhypothalamus: a region of the forebrain located below the thalamus that regulates body temperature, some metabolic processes and governs the autonomic nervous systemdiencephalon: the region of the human brain, specifically the human forebrain, that includes the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus, the prethalamus or subthalamus, and the pretectumneurohypophysis: the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, responsible for the release of oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH)The Endocrine System The endocrine system uses chemical signals to communicate and regulate the body’s physiology. The system releases hormones that act on target cells to regulate development, growth, energy metabolism, reproduction, and many behaviors. Endocrine glands contain no ducts; they release their secretions directly into the intercellular fluid or into the blood. The collection of these glands makes up the endocrine system."

Note that the thymus is no longer considered part of the endocrine system, as it does not produce hormones. Details Identifiers Latin Systema endocrinum Me SH D004703FMA 9668Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system consisting of hormones, the group of glands of an organism that secrete those hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs, and the feedback loops of homeostasis that the hormones drive. In humans, the major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testis, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, and adrenal glands. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems. The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology, a branch of internal medicine. [ 1]Special features of endocrine glands are, in general, their ductless nature, their vascularity, and commonly the presence of intracellular vacuoles or granules that store their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and glands within the gastrointestinal tract, tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow lumen. A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, such as bone, kidney, liver, heart and gonads, have secondary endocrine functions."

Later chapters will focus on animals, such as sponges that have no organs at all, and other organisms that lack many of the organ systems we take for granted. Recall that in the Introduction chapter we discussed the levels of organization we see in biology, from atoms to organ systems that makeup a multicellular organism. We have also seen somewhat of the myriad cells and tissues that occur in humans (and by extension in other animals). This chapter will introduce you to the eleven organ systems that function within our own bodies, and how they coordinate to keep us functioning within a dynamic range of internal conditions we refer to as homeostasis. Animal organs are usually composed of more than one cell type. Recall that the stomach contains all four animal tissue types: epithelium to line the stomach and secrete gastric juices; connective tissues to give the stomach flexibility to expand after a large meal; smooth muscle tissues to churn and digest that meal without the need for conscious thought (indeed, we are aware of that action only when we burp or suffer some sort of gastric distress! ); and nervous tissues to monitor the progress of food as it is worked on by the stomach, and to direct secretion and muscle activity."

Hormones are carried by the circulatory systems to many sites. Growth factors are released to act on nearby tissues. Ligands are signals that bind cell surface receptors (as observed with insulin (a ligand) and the insulin receptor) or that can pass into the cell and bind an internal receptor (such as the steroid hormones). Signal Transduction Signal transduction is defined as the ability of a cell to change behaviour in response to a receptor-ligand interaction. The ligand is the primary messenger. As the result of binding the receptor, other molecules or second messengers are produced within the target cell. Second messengers relay the signal from one location to another (such as from plasma membrane to nucleus). Often a cascade of changes occur within the cell which results in a change in the cell�s function or identity. The signal transduction pathway can act to amplify the cellular response to an external signal."

Hormones are the signals which adjust the body's internal working, together with the nervous system. [ 1] Every multicellular organism has hormones. The cells which react to a given hormone have special receptors for that hormone. When a hormone attaches to the receptor protein a mechanism for signalling is started. [ 2] The cell or tissue that gets the message is called the 'target'. Hormones only act on cells which have the right receptors. Many different kinds of cells can send a message. There are some kinds of cells whose main job is to make hormones. When many of these cells are together in one place, it is called a gland."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Proteostasis, a portmanteau of the words protein and homeostasis, is the concept that there are competing and integrated biological pathways within cells that control the biogenesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins present within and outside the cell. [ 1] [2] The concept of proteostasis maintenance is central to understanding the cause of diseases associated with excessive protein misfolding and degradation leading to loss-of-function phenotypes, [3] as well as aggregation-associated degenerative disorders. [ 4] Therefore, adapting proteostasis should enable the restoration of proteostasis once its loss leads to pathology. Cellular proteostasis is key to ensuring successful development, healthy aging, resistance to environmental stresses, and to minimize homeostasis perturbations by pathogens such as viruses. [ 2] Mechanisms by which proteostasis is ensured include regulated protein translation, chaperone assisted protein folding and protein degradation pathways. Adjusting each of these mechanisms to the demand for proteins is essential to maintain all cellular functions relying on a correctly folded proteome.

The synthesis of a new peptide chain using the ribosome is very slow and the ribosome can even be stalled when it encounters a rare codon, a codon found at low concentrations in the cell. ["

"text": "histology (hĭstŏl`əjē), study of the groups of specialized cells called tissues that are found in most multicellular plants and animals. Histologists study the organization of tissues at all levels,from the whole organ down to the molecular components of cells. Animal tissues are classified as epithelium, with closely spaced cells and very little intercellular space; connective tissue, with largeamounts of intercellular material; muscle, specialized for contraction; and nerve, specialized forconduction of electrical impulses. Blood is also sometimes considered a separate tissue type. These types are combined in different ways in the organism to form characteristic organs. Plantsare composed of relatively undifferentiated tissue known as meristematic tissue; storage tissue, or parenchyma; vascular tissue; photosynthetic tissue, or chlorenchyma; and support tissue, or sclerenchyma and collenchyma. A variety of techniques are used for histological studies, includingtissue culture, use of various fixatives and stains, the use of a microtome for preparing thin sections,light microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The field is divided into developmentalhistology, the study of tissue formation and specialization in growing embryos; histophysiology, thestudy of relations between morphological changes and physiological activity; and histochemistry,the study of the chemical composition of tissue structures. Genetic histological methodologyutilizes in-situ hybridization of DNA probes that enable analysis of specific genetic sequences andpolymerase chain reactions are used to identify single DNA molecules. Immunocyochemistryproduces labeled antibodies that attach to specific parts of specified molecules, often used to quantify the available amount of substances (e.g., enzymes and receptor proteins)."

"text": "Signaling Molecules and Cellular Receptors Differentiate between different types of signals There are two kinds of communication in the world of living cells. Communication between cells is called intercellular signaling, and communication within a cell is called intracellular signaling. An easy way to remember the distinction is by understanding the Latin origin of the prefixes: inter – means “between” (for example, intersecting lines are those that cross each other) and intra – means “inside” (like intravenous). Chemical signals are released by signaling cells in the form of small, usually volatile or soluble molecules called ligands. A ligand is a molecule that binds another specific molecule, in some cases, delivering a signal in the process. Ligands can thus be thought of as signaling molecules. Ligands interact with proteins in target cells, which are cells that are affected by chemical signals; these proteins are also called receptors. Ligands and receptors exist in several varieties; however, a specific ligand will have a specific receptor that typically binds only that ligand. Learning Objectives Differentiate between different types of signals used by multicellular organisms Identify different types of signaling molecules Identify types of receptors, their molecular composition, and the differences among them Types of Signals There are four categories of chemical signaling found in multicellular organisms: paracrine signaling, endocrine signaling, autocrine signaling, and direct signaling across gap junctions (Figure 1). The main difference between the different categories of signaling is the distance that the signal travels through the organism to reach the target cell."

While nosocomial infections by Staphylococcus epidermidis have gained much attention, this skin colonizer has apparently not evolved to cause disease, but maintain the commonly benign relationship with its host. Accordingly, S. epidermidis does not produce aggressive virulence determinants. Rather, factors that normally sustain the commensal lifestyle of S. epidermidis seem to rise to additional benefit during infection. Furthermore, we are beginning to comprehend the roles of S. epidermidis in balancing the epithelial microflora and serving as a reservoir of resistance genes. In this review, the molecular basis of the commensal and infectious lifestyles of S. epidermidis will be discussed."

In summary: The market is now predicting that the Bank of England will raise its base rate to 0.75% in May 2018 after the latest policy meeting showed increasing support for an interest rate rise. Indeed, the BOE’s own forecasts suggest that there could be two more interest rate rises in the next three years and possibly two rate rises in 2018. In fact, the Bank of England has stated that if the economy remains on track it will raise interest rates sooner and to a greater extent than it had previously thought. Below I explain what you should be doing now and what will determine when interest rates will go up. Should you fix your mortgage rate now? With the Bank of England (BOE) now strongly hinting that interest rates are likely to keep rising you should seriously consider whether to fix your mortgage now."

"text": "How fast do you think interest rates will rise? June 4, 2013 Gwion Moore Categories: Investment Strategy How fast do you think interest rates will rise? An example of how growth and matching portfolios interact for pension schemes Most pension fund investors think about their exposure to interest rates and their hedging strategy separately from the exposures that they hold in other parts of their portfolio. But I think that they are, in fact, closely related – since it is possible to infer a pension scheme’s outlook on interest rates from the way it builds its portfolio. This is one reason why it’s important to consider your pension scheme from a total portfolio perspective rather than as isolated Growth and Matching portfolios. To start, let’s consider two investors who are identical in all respects – same liabilities, same sponsor, same risk assets (equity) same investment objective etc… but with one difference. One of the schemes has hedged all of the interest rate risk from its liabilities (let’s call him the “cautious investor” ) and the other has hedged only half the interest rate risk (let’s call him the “risky investor”). If these two schemes are identical in all respects except in the way they manage the interest rate risk from their liabilities, then what does this say about the investors’ expectations for interest rates? Well there is a way to work this out, inferring it from their shared objective but differing strategies as follows. They both share the same investment objective, which is to make their funding ratio go up as fast as possible while at the same time making it wobble as little as possible."

Conventional wisdom suggests that utility stocks will be harmed as rates rise. History shows that contrary to popular thinking, utilities managed to increase earnings and see share price increases in the early stages of rising rates. The outlook for utilities is dependent on management's ability to adequately anticipate the prospects going forward. Once a rising trend is established, intermediate declines in interest rates could be harmful to utility investors as uncertainty prevails. Every stock market investor should be concerned about the impact that rising interest rates might have on future investment returns. The prevailing theory is that when interest rates rise then stock prices should decline due to the impact to earnings from higher borrowing costs. Since we are at or near the lowest level in interest rates, conventional wisdom suggests that eventually interest rates will rise. With rising interest rates, investors should expect that stock prices will decline as per share earnings are reduced. One industry that borrows heavily for going operations is the utility sector (electricity, water, gas etc.)."

Shouldn’t you know how lenders come up with them before you start shopping for a home loan and buying real estate? Put simply, the more you know, the better you’ll be able to negotiate! Or call out the nonsense…Many homeowners tend to just go along with whatever their bank or mortgage broker puts in front of them, often without researching mortgage lender rates or inquiring about how it all works.

As interest rates rise and fall in general, rates on adjustable rate mortgages follow. These can be useful loans for getting into a home, but they are also risky. This page covers the basics of adjustable rate mortgages. The Rate Adjustable rate mortgages are unique because the interest rate on the mortgage adjusts with interest rates in the marketplace. This is important because mortgage payment amounts are determined (in part) by the interest rate on the loan. As the interest rate rises, the monthly payment rises. Likewise, payments fall as interest rates fall. The rate on your adjustable rate mortgage is determined by some market index. Many adjustable rate mortgages are tied to the LIBOR, Prime rate, Cost of Funds Index, or other index."

By This Is Money Updated: 05:54 EDT, 11 August 201414shares1View comments Deciding on whether to take out a fixed or tracker loan can be tricky as you are making a big call on what will probably be your biggest monthly cost. A tracker may look tempting when the Bank of England base rates is low, but a fixed rate can give you certainty in what you are repaying and some protection from an interest rate rise. We weigh up the pros and cons of fixed rates and trackers below. How do mortgages work? Decision making: should you go for a tracker or fixed rate mortgage? A mortgage is a loan from a bank or building society based on the value of a property you want to purchase, with a rate of interest attached. You will need to put a deposit down and the lender will stump up the rest. You then have to make monthly repayments to the lender, plus a rate of interest, over a defined period, usually 25 to 30 years. The most popular, and generally best value-for-money, deals offered by lenders are those that include an initial special rate - either fixed or variable - for a set period, typically between two and five years."

January 15, 2015, 07:00:33 AM EDT By Matthew Tucker, Black Rock As I discussed in a previous Blog post, interest rates defied expectations by continuing to decline in 2014. As we enter 2015, many investors are asking the same question: Will 2015 finally be the year for rising rates? At the beginning of each new year, investor hope seems to spring eternal: This will be the year that the U. S. recovery really takes off, inflation will remain at a healthy low level, and interest rates will rise to provide better income opportunities. And here we are again in 2015, these same themes seem to populate many annual outlooks. In previous posts , I outlined three major drivers that have kept interest rates low.

How a HELOC works When a home equity line of credit makes sense Home equity loan vs. HELOCGetting the best HELOC rate When should you avoid a HELOC? The home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is also known as a “second mortgage.” Because your home is often your most valuable asset, you use it as collateral for another loan. The downside is that if you can’t pay back the HELOC, the lender may force you to sell your home. What is a home equity line of credit? A home equity line of credit gives you access to a sizable pool of cash, usually up to about 85% of your home’s value, less the balance remaining on your mortgage and adjusted based on your creditwortthiness and ability to pay.

Ben writes about personal finance, investments, investor psychology and using your common sense to manage your money. You can also follow him on Twitter ( @awealthofcs ). Don’t Try to Predict Interest Rate Movements There is one recommendation that I received early in my wealth management career that has served me well: do not try to predict interest rates. There are way too many moving parts involved. To predict interest rates you must try to decide whether we will see inflation or deflation (rising or falling prices). You must also try to gauge the how the market is pricing in future inflation or deflation. Supply and demand for credit investments also plays a role. Central bankers around the world are keeping short-term rates low and making purchases in other parts of the bond market."

It’s caused due to an imbalance in the goods and buyer ratio – when the demand of goods or services in an economy is higher than the supply, prices go up. Inflation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s often an indicator of a robust economy and the government usually takes into account a yearly rate of 2% to 3% when it comes to an increase in inflation. The interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers for the use of money that they borrow from creditors. How do interest rates affect the rise and fall of inflation?"

"text": "Rising interest rates and bonds Sheyna Steiner September 23, 2013 in Investing You’ve been warned — for years — about the impact of rising interest rates on bonds and what that might do to your portfolio. The impact is already being felt, and the Federal Reserve hasn’t even done anything yet. Long-term government bond funds are down 13 percent year to date through Sept. 9, according to Morningstar. The selloff is due to investors’ expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin tapering back from its bond-buying program as the U. S. economy shows signs of improvement. Now the specter of rising interest rates is looming large, even though the Fed isn’t expected to actually raise the federal funds rate until 2015. Overall, bonds have shed 3.4 percent of their value, as measured by the Barclays U. S. Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks a blend of corporate and government bonds. That’s a big decline in the history of the bond market, but only a drop in the bucket compared to the types of losses that the stock market can inflict in a New York minute. Bonds are supposed to serve as the ballast in an investment portfolio, steadying the ship in times of stock market storms. But these fixed-income investments — particularly long-term Treasury bonds or mutual funds that invest in them — can rock the boat when interest rates rise. There’s simple math involved in bond movements."

Lim February 9, 2017Q: With interest rates starting to rise, what’s the best way to invest for income? A: Rates are indeed starting to climb, now that the economy is accelerating and inflation is ticking up. Since last summer, the yield on 10-year Treasury securities jumped by more than a full percentage point, from 1.37% in July to more than 2.4% today. For fixed income investors, rising interest rates pose a big challenge, since older, lower-yielding bonds held in a fund are likely to fall in price when market rates rise. That explains why, over the past three months, the average long-term government bond fund has lost nearly 8% of its value, according to Morningstar. But “there is a benefit to rising rates,” says Matt Toms, chief investment officer for fixed income at Voya Investment Management. “ If you’re patient and are reinvesting the income, over time you are going to be better off with the higher income payout. ”Plus, there are small steps you can take with new money to position your bond portfolio for the new rising-rate environment. Shorten up. Focus on funds that invest in short-term debt—bonds maturing in two to three years or less."

"text": "LIBOR is one of the most widely used benchmarks for determining short term interest rates across world. Administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA), it stands for Intercontinental Exchange London Interbank Offered Rate. It indicates the average rate at which large banks in London can borrow unsecured short term loans from other banks. The rate is given in five major currencies for seven different maturities, the three month US dollar rate being the most common. ( For more, refer to How Is LIBOR Determined and London Interbank Offered Rate)Uses of LIBORLenders, including banks and other financial institutions, use LIBOR as the benchmark reference for determining interest rate for various debt instruments. It is also used as a benchmark rate for mortgages, corporate loans, government bonds, credit cards, student loans in various countries. Apart from debt instruments, LIBOR is also used for other financial products like derivatives including interest rate swaps or currency swaps. For example, a US dollar denominated corporate bond, with quarterly coupon payment, may have a floating interest rate as LIBOR plus a margin of thirty basis points (1%=100 basis points). The interest rate thus would be three months US Dollar LIBOR plus the predetermined spread of thirty basis points, i.e. if the 3 month US Dollar LIBOR at the beginning of the period is 4%, the interest to be paid at the end of the quarter would be 4.30% (4% plus 30 basis point spread). This rate would be reset every quarter to match with the existing LIBOR at that point in time plus the fixed spread."

This method is widely applied since it requires less doctor visits than the conventional non-dissolving stitches. Dissolvable stitches can be removed by the patient at home as long as there is no infection on the wound presents. This might help the patient saving his time visiting the hospital to have the stitches removed. Removal of those dissolvable stitches does not require anesthesia, which definitely makes it simpler.

It is interesting that you had a laparoscopic procedure because this will hopefully mean that you will have very small scars.

Traditionally, such devices are fabricated from metal mesh and remain in the body permanently or until removed through further surgical intervention. A bioresorbable stent, (also called biodegradable, or naturally-dissolving) serves the same purpose, but is manufactured from a material that may dissolve or be absorbed in the body. Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Base materials2.1 Metal based2.2 Polymer-based3 Clinical Research4 Cost5 Patient died6 See also7 References Background [ edit]The use of metal drug-eluting stents presents some potential drawbacks. These include a predisposition to late stent thrombosis, prevention of late vessel adaptive or expansive remodeling, hindrance of surgical revascularization, and impairment of imaging with multislice CT. [ 1] [2]To overcome some of these potential drawbacks, several companies are pursuing the development of bioresorbable or bioabsorbable stents. Like metal stents, placement of a bioresorbable stent will restore blood flow and support the vessel through the healing process. However, in the case of a bioresorbable stent, the stent will gradually resorb and be benignly cleared from the body, leaving no permanent implant. Studies have shown that the most critical period of vessel healing is largely complete by approximately three months. [ 3] [4] Therefore, the goal of a bioresorbable or “temporary” stent is to fully support the vessel during this critical period, and then resorb from the body when it is no longer needed."

Speak to your vet!Verulam · 8 years ago0 0 Comment As a vet nurse, i would say go back to the vet to get them cut out, as most vets don't put disolvable stitches on leg wounds, 10 days is the average time stitches should stay on, so visit your local vet to take them out, however, you can cut them out yourself, by using a sharp pair of sanitised scissors (soaked in salty water) and carefully cut each stitch at a time, then removing one at a time. if it is still looking infected visit your vet as it is common to get a recuring infection, a anti-biotic will be needed, nothing to fear just a normal reaction."

Most types should start to dissolve or fall out within a week or two, although it may be a few weeks before they disappear completely. Some may last for several months. Ask your surgeon or the health professional treating you about the type of stitches you've been given and how long they expect it will take for them to dissolve. If your wound has healed and your stitches are bothering you, you might want to consider making an appointment at your GP surgery to have them removed by the practice nurse, rather than waiting for them to dissolve completely.

A biopsy is the surgical removal of a portion of a dog’s tissue. What Are the Indications for Performing a Biopsy on a Dog? Biopsies are taken of suspicious masses, tumors or abnormal organs found on and in dogs. The biopsy is typically submitted to a veterinary pathologist for evaluation and a diagnosis. What Preoperative Examinations or Tests Are Needed Before a Biopsy? Preoperative tests depend in part on the age and general health of the animal as well as the reason for the biopsy. For small superficial skin biopsies, simple blood tests, such as a packed cell volume or blood count, may be done prior to anesthesia. If the biopsy is associated with major organs, extensive tests such as radiographs, blood count, serum biochemical tests, a urinalysis, and possibly an EKG may be necessary."

"text": "Up Next For centuries, dentists and oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, obstetricians, urologists and even veterinarians have used stitches to close up gashes, cuts and surgical incisions. Now, many physicians are using some form of dissolvable stitches (also called absorbable sutures ). The great thing about dissolvable stitches is that they can be used on internal or external wounds. Stitches, dissolvable or non-dissolvable, have three features: Thickness - Some stitches must be thin (perhaps for a simple cut or plastic surgery, or a wound that needs to heal with less scarring), and others thicker (perhaps for internal wounds where scarring isn't as worrisome, or so the stitch will last longer). To make a thicker stitch, more of the material is woven together. For a thinner stitch, less material is woven together. Elasticity - Stitches on your knee need to be more elastic than those on your forearm, because your knee must be able to bend. Without proper elasticity, the stitches can snap and come out, or even tear the wound and delay healing. Decomposition rate - A deep, wide wound will need longer to heal, so the stitches will have to last longer. Stitches can be formulated and strengthened to dissolve slowly or rapidly over the desired treatment period."

"text": "\"Diesel Net Technology Guide Diesel Net.com. Copyright © Ecopoint Inc. Revision 2010.01c Electronic Fuel Injection Systems for Heavy-Duty Engines Hannu Jääskeläinen, Magdi K. Khair Abstract: A number of heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturers have developed their own electronic fuel injection systems. Examples include the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector (HEUI) and the Mechanically actuated Electronically Controlled (MEUI) systems by Caterpillar, and a number of systems by Cummins such as the Accumulator Pump System (CAPS), Quantum CELECT, HPI, and XPI injection systems. Introduction Cummins Injection Systems Overview Cummins PT Injection System Bendix/Cummins CELECT Unit Injector System Cummins Accumulator Pump System Cummins HPI Fuel Injection System Cummins/Scania XPI Fuel Injection System Caterpillar Injection Systems Overview Caterpillar HEUI-A Injection System Caterpillar HEUI-B Injection System Navistar/Sturman/Siemens G2Caterpillar MEUI-A Injection System Caterpillar MEUI-B/MEUI-C Injection Systems Introduction With increased demand to lower emissions from diesel engines, the flexibility and improved performance offered by electronic control was an important driver for many engine manufacturers to introduce electronically controlled fuel injection systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s. An important tool for lowering emissions from diesel engines produced during this period was fuel injection timing that could be varied over the speed and load range of the engine. While injection timing could be varied with a purely mechanical approach, electronic control offered a much more flexible and a potentially simpler way to achieve this while also providing the option of introducing a number of other desirable features. Some of the first electronically controlled fuel injection systems in heavy-duty engines appeared in the Detroit Diesel Series 92 in 1985 and the Series 60 in 1987 [2151]. Caterpillar applied it to the 3176 in 1988 [2043]. The unit injectors used in these engines lent themselves well to early adoption of solenoid actuated electronic fuel injectors. Solenoid actuator designs of that period were still relatively large and bulky and a unit injector for a heavy-duty engine provided ample room for it. It took several years for manufacturers to refine the actuator design to make it compact enough to use in common rail systems for light-duty applications [2187] and to produce a heavy-duty unit injector, Delphi’s E1 in 2000, which replaced the bulky side mounted actuator with a more compact design that could be integrated into the injector body. Manufacturer’s quickly learned that electronic control offered not only the ability to control injection timing according to speed and load but also according to the type of driving the vehicle was experiencing."

All FE-equipped vehicles (with rare exception) had a traditional points-style distributor and ignition system from 1958 until 1974. That rare exception was a short-lived transistorized system for race 427 engines. You won’t find those outside of the collector’s environment. In 1975 Ford went to electronic ignition using a magnetic trigger distributor and the Duraspark system. A factory FE distributor with a Duraspark electronic conversion and a large cap provides far better performance than the strictly stock setup. The benefit of using factory parts lies in the ability to easily find replacements if required. This Tech Tip is From the Full Book, HOW TO BUILD MAX-PERFORMANCE FORD FE ENGINES.

Nine out of ten times, coolant leaks are easy to find because the coolant can be seen dripping, spraying, seeping or bubbling from the leaky component. The first symptom of trouble is usually engine overheating. But your car may also have a Low Coolant indicator lamp. If you suspect your vehicle has a coolant leak, open the hood and visually inspect the engine and cooling system for any sign of liquid leaking from the engine, radiator or hoses. The color of the coolant may be green, orange or yellow depending on the type of antifreeze in the system. You may also notice a sweet smell, which is a characteristic odor of ethylene glycol antifreeze. The most common places where coolant may be leaking are: A worn seal on the water pump shaft can leak coolant.

Truthfinder is the leading source for American background checks, which includes driving history. Start Now at truthfinder.com8 Answers Namrata Sarkar, Mechanical Engineer, Program Manager Answered Mar 8, 2014One of the assumptions while analyzing a gas cycle is that the compression and expansion processes are considered reversible adiabatic or isentropic process under ideal conditions. In an IC engine, under actual conditions, the expansion and compression processes (or the useful work output) takes even less than 10 milliseconds - hence there is no opportunity of significant heat exchange and for all practical reasons, the actual process is safely considered adiabatic. Besides, thermal efficiency is a function of compression ratio, higher the compression ratio more is the efficiency of the gas cycle. The heat rejected during expansion and compression processes has negligible bearing on overall thermal efficiency. Since a piston is subjected to very high temperature condition along with extreme and sudden compression and tensile forces on combustion as well as on thrust sides, it calls for a material which has very high strength to weight ratio and has very high heat conductivity in order to minimize thermal fatigue. Usually sand-cast / die-cast aluminium used for engines less than 10 inches of bore diameter. Gray iron is used for small engines and those with bore diameter more than 10 inches.8.2k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

"text": "\"An overheating engine can cause serious damage The engines cooling system is designed to keep the engine from overheating while in operation. When this system fails due to a leak or an engine mechanical or cooling system failure it will enable the engine to overheat which will produce internal damage and cause the engine to stop running. There are several over heating symptoms that will let you know if the engine is having a problem such as the temperature warning light coming on and noticing the temperature gauge is in the red or close to it. This condition may also be accompanied by a burning coolant smell or reduced engine power. In any case if you think your car's engine is overheating you should safety pull to the side of the road and shut the engine off to avoid internal engine damage. What Goes Wrong? Your car's engine produces heat due to the internal combustion process. The cooling system is used to maintain operational temperatures which have a number of components that can fail or leak coolant due to the constant heat and vibration of the engine. When internal temperatures go beyond their designed capabilities internal damage can occur such as a cracked cylinder head or engine block. One of the most common major failures is a blown head gasket which is used to seal the cylinder head to the engine block and allow coolant to enter either the combustion chamber or the engine oiling system."

However, the date of the launch is not officially announced, but it is expected that it comes sometime later this year. It redefines the true definition of adventure. The robust design with powerful mechanics liberate the ultimate power within. The iconic framework marks a huge on-road presence with the huge wheels and tall boy design. The company is going to give it a purposeful appearance with its unique hood, black tail lamp guards, rock rails, bumpers and fuel filler door. It will design with advanced technologies to explore the unexplored corners of earth. The best in class ground clearance helps it to head out onto any uneven terrain with confidence. It is embedded with a trail rated traction system that enables it to climb on snowy back roads, icy bridges, sand dunes, muddy tracks and the works. The car's body design conveys a signature of premium rugged look with its macho man style and would be the first preference for robust adventure freaks."

It was assembled in the authors' spare time as an internal reference. The timeline merges telemetry beamed down from the shuttle, NASA recordings of the flight director's loop in mission control at the Johnson Space Center, the NASA-Select audio circuit heard by the public and a transcript of crew cabin intercom conversations released by NASA after the accident. While every effort was made to ensure accuracy, the timing of the NASA-Select and mission control audio circuits is based on stopwatch analysis and as such is somewhat subjective. The crew cabin intercom transcript was provided by NASA rounded to the nearest second. Telemetry and photo timing was generated by NASA for the Rogers Commission, the presidential panel that investigated the mishap. T=0.000 Solid rocket ignition command is sent.

Comment: These procedures are only for self powered conventional sensors. Some very new cars are using a different style sensor that is powered. * Many* Oxygen sensors are replaced that are good to excellent. * Many* people don't know how to test them. They routinely last 50,000 or more miles, and if the engine is in good shape, can last the life of the car. What does the O2 sensor do? It is the primary measurement device for the fuel control computer in your car to know if the engine is too rich or too lean. The O2 sensor is active anytime it is hot enough, but the computer only uses this information in the closed loop mode. Closed loop is the operating mode where all engine control sensors including the Oxygen sensor are used to get best fuel economy, lowest emissions, and good power."

This career might be a good fit for people who have good interpersonal skills and a desire to help others with their physical limitations. Physical therapists could see employment opportunities increase by 34% from 2014-2024, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This much-faster-than-average job growth is due in large part to an aging population's need for rehabilitative services to manage illness or injury and recuperate from surgery. Job prospects should be best in settings that provide care to elderly patients. Rural locations are also expected to offer favorable employment opportunities. The mean annual salary for physical therapists was $85,790 as of May 2015.

The Legislature finds that, to further secure the health, safety, and welfare of the public and also to encourage professional cooperation among all qualified professionals, the Legislature must assist the public in making informed choices of such services by establishing minimum qualifications for entering into and remaining in the respective professions.

After completing four years of medical school, anesthesiologists (MD or DO) enter a four-year anesthesiology residency training program. Fellowships in an anesthesia subspecialty and in education or research may also be taken for an additional year. While anesthesiologists have been known primarily as physicians who administer anesthesia during surgery, they also provide medical care and consultations in other situations in addition to the operating room. The anesthesiologist’s role may be a perioperative (\"\"peri\"\" meaning \"\"all-around\"\") who provides medical care to each patient throughout his or her surgical experience. This may include medical evaluation before surgery, consulting with the surgical team, providing pain control and support of life functions during surgery, and supervising care after surgery and medically discharging the patient from the recovery unit. Anesthesiologists, as part of the spine team, frequently diagnose and treat patients suffering from acute and chronic pain syndromes. Some anesthesiologists complete pain fellowships and concentrate their practice on doing injections (such as epidural steroid injections)."

It assumes that heterosexuality is the only sexual orientation or only norm, and that sexual and marital relations are most (or only) fitting between people of opposite sexes. A \"\"heteronormative\"\" view therefore involves alignment of biological sex, sexuality, gender identity and gender roles. Heteronormativity is often linked to heterosexism and homophobia.

The concept's roots are in Gayle Rubin 's notion of the \"\"sex/gender system\"\" and Adrienne Rich 's notion of compulsory heterosexuality. [ 3] From the outset, theories of heteronormativity included a critical look at gender; Warner wrote that \"\"every person who comes to a queer self-understanding knows in one way or another that her stigmatization is intricated with gender. [...] Being queer [...] means being able, more or less articulately, to challenge the common understanding of what gender difference means.\"\" [ 2]In a series of articles, Samuel A. Chambers calls for an understanding of heteronormativity as a concept that reveals the expectations, demands, and constraints produced when heterosexuality is taken as normative within a society. [ 4] [5]Discrimination [ edit]Critics of heteronormative attitudes, such as Cathy J. Cohen, Michael Warner, and Lauren Berlant, argue that they are oppressive, stigmatizing, marginalizing of perceived deviant forms of sexuality and gender, and make self-expression more difficult when that expression does not conform to the norm.

"text": "\"This page is a resource explaining general sociological concepts of sex and gender. The examples I cover are focused on experiences of otherness. Sociology of Gender In sociology, we make a distinction between sex and gender. Sex are the biological traits that societies use to assign people into the category of either male or female, whether it be through a focus on chromosomes, genitalia or some other physical ascription. When people talk about the differences between men and women they are often drawing on sex – on rigid ideas of biology – rather than gender, which is an understanding of how society shapes our understanding of those biological categories. Gender is more fluid – it may or may not depend upon biological traits. More specifically, it is a concept that describes how societies determine and manage sex categories; the cultural meanings attached to men and women’s roles; and how individuals understand their identities including, but not limited to, being a man, woman, transgender, intersex, gender queer and other gender positions. Gender involves social norms, attitudes and activities that society deems more appropriate for one sex over another. Gender is also determined by what an individual feels and does. The sociology of gender examines how society influences our understandings and perception of differences between masculinity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a “man”) and femininity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a “woman”)."

It binds to the promoter of RET gene by competing with SOX10 for its interaction with PAX3 and NKX2-1 repressing their transcriptional expression and RET's as well. High levels of SRY expression correlated with cancer progression and poor HCC patient survival. However, high SRY levels are not significantly correlated with HCC sex bias. Findings demonstrate that the folding, trafficking, and gene-regulatory function of testis-determining factor SRY requires an invariant aromatic \"\"buttress\"\" beneath its specific DNA-bending surface. Overall, these results indicated that the main mechanism of sex reversal are not associated with mutations in the coding regions of SOX9 and DAX1 or copy number variations of SOX9, which is consistent with results of previous studies. Data suggest that sex-determining region Y protein SRY upregulation after dopamine cell injury is initially a protective response in males, but diminishes with gradual loss in dopamine cells.

[ 2] It has been associated with movements in science and society including eugenics, scientific racism, the supposed heritability of IQ, the supposed biological basis for gender roles, and the sociobiology debate. In 1892 August Weismann proposed that heritable information is transmitted only via germ cells, which he thought contained determinants (genes). Francis Galton, supposing that undesirable traits such as club foot and criminality were inherited, advocated eugenics, aiming to prevent supposedly defective people from breeding. Samuel George Morton and Paul Broca attempted to relate the cranial capacity (internal skull volume) to skin colour, intending to show that white people were superior. Other workers such as Alfred Binet, H. H. Goddard, and Robert Yerkes attempted to measure people's intelligence and to show that the resulting scores were heritable, again to demonstrate the supposed superiority of people with white skin. Galton popularized the phrase nature and nurture, later often used to characterize the heated debate over whether genes or the environment determined human behavior. Scientists such as ecologists [3] and behavioural geneticists [4] now see it as obvious that both factors are essential, and that they are intertwined. [ 5]Late in the 20th century, the determinism of gender roles was debated by geneticists and others. Biologists such as John Money and Anke Ehrhardt attempted to describe femininity and homosexuality according to then-current social standards; against this, the evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin and others argued that clothing and other preferences vary in different societies."

[ 1] [2] Sexual reproduction involves the combining and mixing of genetic traits: specialized cells known as gametes combine to form offspring that inherit traits from each parent. The gametes produced by an organism define its sex: males produce small gametes (e.g. spermatozoa, or sperm, in animals; pollen in seed plants) while females produce large gametes ( ova, or egg cells). Individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. [ 2] Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogamy ), but, in many cases, an asymmetry has evolved such that two different types of gametes (heterogametes) exist (known as anisogamy ). Physical differences are often associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience. For instance, mate choice and sexual selection can accelerate the evolution of physical differences between the sexes."

"text": "Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Symptoms and Treatment Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a health condition that refers to a group of multiple autosomal recessive diseases. The diseases are triggered by gene mutations that affect the biochemical breakdown of cholesterol into cortisol. The trigger factor is adrenal gland abnormality or steroidogenesis. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia results from abnormal (increased or deficient) gene mutations within the adrenal glands. The abnormality reflects in the altered development of sex characteristics or an intersex condition. The different forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia manifest as ambiguous genitalia, development of early pubic hair, precocious or delayed puberty, excessive facial hair, menstrual irregularity, infertility and hypertension. This condition is triggered by adversely affected biochemical reactions involved in the breaking down of cholesterol into cortisol. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid derived from cholesterol. This adrenal steroid hormone is very essential for normal endocrine function. Insufficient cortisol production induces overgrowth and over-activity within the adrenal cortex, while a deficiency triggers under-activity."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The parasexual cycle, a process peculiar to fungi and single-celled organisms, is a nonsexual mechanism of parasexuality for transferring genetic material without meiosis or the development of sexual structures. [ 1] It was first described by Italian geneticist Guido Pontecorvo in 1956 during studies on Aspergillus nidulans (also called Emericella nidulans when referring to its sexual form, or teleomorph ). A parasexual cycle is initiated by the fusion of hyphae ( anastomosis) during which nuclei and other cytoplasmic components occupy the same cell (heterokaryosis and plasmogamy ). Fusion of the unlike nuclei in the cell of the heterokaryon results in formation of a diploid nucleus ( karyogamy ), which is believed to be unstable and can produce segregants by recombination involving mitotic crossing-over and haploidization. Mitotic crossing-over can lead to the exchange of genes on chromosomes; while haploidization probably involves mitotic nondisjunctions which randomly reassort the chromosomes and result in the production of aneuploid and haploid cells. Like a sexual cycle, parasexuality gives the species the opportunity to recombine the genome and produce new genotypes in their offspring. Unlike a sexual cycle, the process lacks coordination and is exclusively mitotic. The parasexual cycle resembles sexual reproduction. In both cases, unlike hyphae (or modifications thereof) may fuse (plasmogamy) and their nuclei will occupy the same cell. The unlike nuclei fuse (karyogamy) to form a diploid (zygote) nucleus."

D., Online Health Coach @ ELITE Personalized Health Answered Oct 9, 2014 · Author has 590 answers and 1.6m answer views Both Tim and Kyle are correct, although I would just like to clarify something Kyle may have said. Although I understand what he means by the egg \"\"being female\"\" until the sperm reaches it, the egg is, in fact, just a sex cell, since gender can only really be described as a quality of a whole sexual organism. Since the egg has zero potential of becoming a viable organism then it cannot really have a gender. Moreover, as Tim alluded to, the organism comes into being during the moment of fertilization when the union of both sex cells (sperm and egg) create a full complement of chromosomes within the same cytoplasm. This is when the sum of all the chromosomes can now determine the genetic gender as described (XX = female, XY= male). Now, the \"\"slow process\"\" that Kyle refers to is the expression of the zygote's gender (which is not the same as the determination of the gender). Indeed, nipples are made before the expression of the gender chromosomes so they appear in both males and females. I wouldn't call male genitals \"\"enhanced\"\" (compared to what?) but instead perhaps \"\"developed\"\" into its male role, just as the fetal female genitalia also continue to develop into their more mature form. In the male the early clitoris is enlarged and elongated and the penile urethra is created by tissue 'zipping up' towards the tip."

"text": "The Boy Who Was Turned Into a Girl Categories: Science, Society /56 Comments In 1965 in the Canadian town of Winnipeg, Janet Reimer gave birth to twin boys – Bruce and Brian. Six months later a bungled circumcision left Bruce without a penis. Based on a radical new theory of gender development the decision was taken to raise Bruce as a girl. In 1967 Bruce became Brenda and for the next three decades this case would be at the heart of one of the most controversial theories in the history of science. The man behind this work was world-renowned psychologist Dr John Money. In the 1950s Dr Money developed a theory that revolutionised our understanding of gender. Money believed that what he called our ‘gender identity’ – what makes us think, feel and behave as boys or girls – is not fully formed by the time of birth. While we may have some innate sense of being a boy or a girl, for up to two years after birth, our brains are, in effect, malleable and we can be taught to grow up as either a boy or girl by how we are raised – by the toys we are given, the guidance we receive from adults and the clothes we are given to wear. This became known as the ‘theory of gender neutrality’. Dr Money had reached this conclusion by working with a rare group of individuals born with ambiguous genitals – people known as intersexuals or hermaphrodites."

Q.s About and For Transgender People Transgender 101Transgender is a broad term used to describe anyone whose gender identity or gender expression is different from the gender they were assigned at birth, without necessarily undergoing genital sex-reassignment surgery. Transgender individuals have socially transitioned from the sexed identity they were assigned at birth to the sexed identity that most closely matches their chosen gender identity. A transgender woman lives as a woman today, but was thought to be male when she was born. A transgender man lives as a man today, but was thought to be female when he was born. Some transgender people identify as neither male nor female, or as a combination of male and female. People who do not identify as entirely female or male use terms like gender non-conforming, or genderqueer. Trans* (with an asterisk) works as an umbrella term to include transsexuals, cross dressers, drag kings and queens, gender non-conforming, non-binary gender identities, genderqueer and intersex people. This expansive use of the term, encompasses the intellectual and political promise of trans critical studies and transgender studies. Trans is most commonly used to identify people who are not cis gender. Cisgender describes people who never think about what their gender identity is because it matches their sex at birth."

A chimeric mouse with its offspring A genetic chimerism or chimera (also spelled chimaera) is a single organism composed of cells with distinct genotypes. In animals, this means an individual derived from two or more zygotes, which can include possessing blood cells of different blood types, subtle variations in form ( phenotype ), and if the zygotes were of differing sexes then even the possession of both female and male sex organs [1] (this is just one of many different ways that may result in intersexuality ). Animal chimeras are produced by the merger of multiple fertilized eggs. In plant chimeras, however, the distinct types of tissue may originate from the same zygote, and the difference is often due to mutation during ordinary cell division. Normally, genetic chimerism is not visible on casual inspection; however, it has been detected in the course of proving parentage. [ 2]Another way that chimerism can occur in animals is by organ transplantation, giving one individual tissues that developed from a different genome. For example, transplantation of bone marrow (an organ often not thought of as being such) often determines the recipient's ensuing blood type."

Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts, without removing the technical details. ( December 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In molecular biology, splicing is the editing of the nascent precursor messenger RNA (pre- m RNA) transcript into a mature messenger RNA ( m RNA ). After splicing, introns are removed and exons are joined together ( ligated ). For nuclear-encoded genes, splicing takes place within the nucleus either during or immediately after transcription. For those eukaryotic genes that contain introns, splicing is usually required in order to create an m RNA molecule that can be translated into protein. For many eukaryotic introns, splicing is carried out in a series of reactions which are catalyzed by the spliceosome, a complex of sn RNPs. Self-splicing introns, or ribozymes capable of catalyzing their own excision from their parent RNA molecule, also exist.

"text": "\"Difference Between Introns and Exons Posted on April 18, 2012 by Naveen Introns vs Exons Introns and exons are frequently used terms in the field of molecular biology, but when someone starts to familiarize with these terms, the confusion would arise as both these are nucleotide sequences in genes or DNA strands. Although most of these terms are a little alien for the majority of the people, the understanding among people is becoming high about how the genes and DNA sequences define the characters of organisms. This article intends not only to explore the characteristics of introns and exons, but also to perform a comparison between the two to convey the information better. Introns Introns are sequences of nucleotides present in the genes between exons. These nucleotide sequences do not code for proteins, and that means introns are not immediately important for the process of protein synthesis. When a messenger RNA (m RNA) strand is created through transcription of DNA at a gene, the nucleotide sequence of introns is excluded. The exclusion of the intron sequence from the m RNA strand takes place through the process called RNA splicing; it could be through cis-splicing when there is only one intron incorporated with the gene, trans-splicing occurs when there are two or more introns associated with the gene. A mature m RNA strand, which is ready to code for a protein, is formed after removing the introns from the strand. Since both DNA and RNA contain these non-coding sequences, the term intron could be referred as the non-coding nucleotide sequences of DNA and their corresponding sequences in RNA. It is important to notice that ribosomal RNA (r RNA) and transfer RNA (t RNA) contain genes with introns, but those are removed when the genes are expressed."

Transcription & Translation: RNA Splicing In some genes the protein-coding sections of the DNA (\"\"exons\"\") are interrupted by non-coding regions (\"\"introns\"\"). RNA splicing removes the introns from pre m RNA to produce the final set of instructions for the protein. Duration: 1 minutes, 37 seconds Transcript: As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving only the yellow, protein-coding regions, called exons. RNA splicing begins with assembly of helper proteins at the intron/exon borders. These splicing factors act as beacons to guide small nuclear ribo proteins to form a splicing machine, called the spliceosome. The animation is showing this happening in real time. The spliceosome then brings the exons on either side of the intron very close together, ready to be cut. One end of the intron is cut and folded back on itself to join and form a loop."

For the album by LCD Soundsystem, see Introns (album). An intron is any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is removed by RNA splicing during maturation of the final RNA product. [ 1] [2] The term intron refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene and the corresponding sequence in RNA transcripts. [ 3] Sequences that are joined together in the final mature RNA after RNA splicing are exons. Introns are found in the genes of most organisms and many viruses, and can be located in a wide range of genes, including those that generate proteins, ribosomal RNA (r RNA), and transfer RNA (t RNA). When proteins are generated from intron-containing genes, RNA splicing takes place as part of the RNA processing pathway that follows transcription and precedes translation. The word intron is derived from the term intragenic region, i.e. a region inside a gene. Although introns are sometimes called intervening sequences, the term \"\"intervening sequence\"\" can refer to any of several families of internal nucleic acid sequences that are not present in the final gene product, including inteins, untranslated sequences ( UTR ), and nucleotides removed by RNA editing, in addition to introns.

Exons are coding areas that have code for protein whereas introns are non-coding areas that are not at all implicated with the protein coding. Most eukaryotic genes, splits into two alternative repeating parts i.e Exons (Coding Region)and Introns ( (non coding regions). Coding regions (exons) are interrupted by noncoding regions (introns). During Transcription of the complementary Template Strand produces a heterogeneous nuclear RNA ( hn RNA) that is identical in 5'-3' orientation and base sequences to the DNA Sense Strand and it have both coding region (Exons) and non coding regions (Introns) .

It means to retain (a particular amino acid, nucleotide, or sequence of these) unchanged in different protein or DNA molecules. What happens at the exon-intron junctions of pre-m RNAs? These junctions, certain specific nucleotides were found to be nearly identical across genes and across species; they have been highly conserved because they participate in the splicing reactions. What nucleotide sequence do the intron ends have? Each intron is cut at each end, and these intron ends almost always have GU at the 5' end and AG at the 3' end (the GU-AG rule). What is the other unchanging site on the intron? Another invariant site is an A residue between 15 and 45 nucleotides upstream of the 3' splice site. The nucleotides flanking the highly conserved ones are also conserved, but to a lesser degree. What does the existence of conserved nucleotide sequences at splice junctions suggest?"

"text": "\"Transcription is a process that occurs in all living cells. During transcription, strands of RNA are created based on the DNA found within the cells. When a strand of messenger RNA (m RNA) is created, it is then used to produce proteins during translation. A whole strand of DNA is not usually transcribed into m RNA, but instead specific sections of the DNA are, which are called transcription units. Throughout the strands of DNA found within cells, there are sequences of nucleotides that code for starts and stops. The enzymes that carry out transcription use these codes to begin and end producing RNA strands. A transcription unit is the chain of nucleotides in a strand of DNA that begins at a start code and continues to the end code. When referring to the stretch of DNA that is transcribed into RNA, many scientists use the term \"\"transcription unit\"\" rather than \"\"gene.\"\" This change in terminology has come about because research has shown that the DNA that is transcribed contains a lot of extra nucleotides that are not used to form the protein. The sections of DNA that are not used to code a protein are called introns and the sections that do code for the protein are called exons."

"text": "\"Genetic code Protein translation Ribosome Location of Transcription and translation Eukaryotic transcription and splicing The Genetic Code How do 64 different codons produce 20 different amino acids? The start codon is AUG. Methionine is the only amino acid specified by just one codon, AUG. The stop codons are UAA, UAG, and UGA. They encode no amino acid. The ribosome pauses and falls off the m RNA. The stretch of codons between AUG and a stop codon is called an open reading frame (ORF). Computer analysis of DNA sequence can predict the existence of genes based on ORFs. Other amino acids are specified by more than one codon--usually differing at only the third position. The \"\"Wobble Hypothesis,\"\" discovered by Frances Crick, states that rules of base pairing are relaxed at the third position, so that a base can pair with more than one complementary base."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 19 - Eukaryotic Genomes Printer Friendly Chapter 19 Eukaryotic Genomes Lecture Outline Overview: How Eukaryotic Genomes Work and Evolve Two features of eukaryotic genomes present a major information-processing challenge. First, the typical multicellular eukaryotic genome is much larger than that of a prokaryotic cell. Second, cell specialization limits the expression of many genes to specific cells. The estimated 25,000 genes in the human genome include an enormous amount of DNA that does not code for RNA or protein. This DNA is elaborately organized. Not only is the DNA associated with protein, but also this DNA-protein complex called chromatin is organized into higher structural levels than the DNA-protein complex in prokaryotes. Concept 19.1 Chromatin structure is based on successive levels of DNA packing While the single circular chromosome of bacteria is coiled and looped in a complex but orderly manner, eukaryotic chromatin is far more complex. Eukaryotic DNA is precisely combined with large amounts of protein. The resulting chromatin undergoes striking changes in the course of the cell cycle. During interphase of the cell cycle, chromatin fibers are usually highly extended within the nucleus."

"text": "\"Spliceosome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A spliceosome is a large and complex molecular machine found primarily within the splicing speckles of the cell nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The spliceosome is assembled from sn RNAs and SR protein. The spliceosome removes introns from a transcribed pre-m RNA, a type of primary transcript. This process is generally referred to as splicing. [ 1] Only eukaryotes have spliceosomes and some organisms have a second spliceosome, the minor spliceosome. [ 2] An analogy is a film editor, who selectively cuts out irrelevant or incorrect material (equivalent to the introns) from the initial filming and sends the cleaned-up version to the producer for the final cut. Spliceosomal splicing cycle Contents [ hide ]1 Composition2 Alternative splicing3 RNA splicing4 Assembly5 References6 External links Composition [ edit]Each spliceosome is composed of five small nuclear RNAs (sn RNA) and a range of associated protein factors. When these small RNAs are combined with the protein factors, they make an RNA-protein complex called sn RNP ( s mall n uclear r ibo n ucleo p roteins). The sn RNAs that make up the major spliceosome are named U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6, and participate in several RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions. The RNA component of the small nuclear ribonucleic protein or sn RNP (pronounced \"\"snurp\"\") is rich in uridine (the nucleoside analog of the uracil nucleotide )."

"text": "Molecular Biology, 4/e Robert F. Weaver Molecular Cloning Methodsc DNAHow can molecular biologists synthesize DNA from RNA? In most cells RNA is synthesized from DNA. The different types of RNA are each used perform specific functions associated with protein synthesis. Placing functional genes from eukaryotes into prokaryotic cells requires creating DNA from m RNA that has had its introns excised. How do molecular biologists accomplish this? The enzyme reverse transcriptase is used. Reverse transcriptase is produced by certain types of viruses. The viruses contain RNA and create DNA that is used to produce more viruses. Reverse transcriptase’s unusual property of creating DNA from RNA has been exploited by biologists to create intron-free eukaryotic DNA for insertion into prokaryotic genomes.
