"text": "\"Home > Facts > Animal Facts > Loon Facts Loon Facts Loon Facts Loon is aquatic bird that belongs to the family Gaviidae. It can be found in the North America, Europe and Asia. Loon inhabits coasts of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, lakes, ponds and various waterways. It is one of the oldest and most primitive birds on the planet. Inuit hunt loons because of their meat. Habitat destruction and pollution of the water and soil are the greatest threats for the survival of loons in the wild. Despite these factors, loons are still numerous and widespread in their native habitats. Interesting Loon Facts: Loon can reach 2 to 3 feet in length and 6.5 to 12 pounds of weight. Males are slightly larger than females. Loon has black head and neck."

"text": "Grebe, (order Podicipediformes), any member of an order of foot-propelled diving birds containing a single family, Podicipedidae, with about 20 species. They are best known for the striking courtship displays of some species and for the silky plumage of the underparts, which formerly was much used in millinery. The speed with which grebes can submerge has earned them such names as water-witch and helldiver, while the position of the feet near the tail is responsible for the early English name arsefoot, from which the family name was derived. Slavonian, or horned, grebe ( Podiceps auritus)Ingmar Holmasen Adult grebes range in weight from less than 150 grams (5 ounces) to more than 1.4 kg (3 pounds) and in total length from 21 to 73 cm (8 to 29 inches). They vary principally in bill shape and ornamentation of the head. The group is found on all of the continents and on many island groups as well; however, it is best represented in temperate regions. Seven species each are found in North and South America, five in Eurasia, and three each in Africa and Australia. The species range from conspicuous and gregarious to solitary and skulking. Natural history Mating behaviour Both parents share in nest building, incubation, and care of the young. The long pair bond that makes this possible is formed and strengthened by elaborate courtship displays, including ritualized preening, head shaking, diving, weed carrying, and rapid water treading with the body in a nearly vertical position."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The boreal forest or taiga of the North American continent stretches through a majority of Canada and most of central Alaska, extending spottily into the beginning of the Rocky Mountain range in Northern Montana and into New England and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. This habitat extends as far north as the tree line (replaced by the High Arctic tundra) and discontinues in mixed deciduous-coniferous forests to the south. The \"\" taiga \"\", as it is called there, of Eurasia occupies a similar range on those continents. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the boreal forest covers 2.3 million square miles, a larger area than the remaining Brazilian Amazon rain forest. Although it is largely forest, the boreal forests include a network of lakes, river valleys, wetlands, peat lands and semi-open tundra. Black Spruce boreal forest, Copper River, Alaska. Only 8% of the Canadian boreal forest is protected and over 30% has already been designated for logging, energy and other development, much of it within the last decade. The U. S. is the leading importer of Canadian wood products as well as oil and gas, having purchased 20 billion dollars (approximately 80% of Canada's timber exports) worth of Canadian forest products in 2001. Presently trees being logged in the Boreal are primarily pulped and turned into disposable products such as toilet tissue, junk mail, and catalogs. Decisions will be made in the next several years regarding the remaining lands and where development will take place."

"text": "\"The Bald Eagle & Official State Birds The Eagle became the National emblem in 1782 when the great seal of the United States was adopted. The Great Seal shows a wide-spread eagle, faced front, having on his breast a shield with thirteen perpendicular red and white stripes, surmounted by a blue field with the same number of stars. In his right talon the eagle holds an olive branch, in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows, and in his beak he carries a scroll inscribed with the motto: \"\"E Pluribus Unum.\"\" The Eagle appears in the Seals of many of our States, on most of our gold and silver coinage, and is used a great deal for decorative patriotic purposes. The Bald Eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of American, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent. In 1982 President Ronald Reagan, proclaimed June 20, 1982 as National Bald Eagle Day and designated the year 1982 as the Bicentennial Year of the American Bald Eagle. President Reagan called upon the people of the United States to join in these observances with appropriate activities in their homes and communities. About Bald Eagles: Male bald eagles generally measure 3 feet from head to tail, weigh 7 to 10 pounds, and have a wingspan of about 6 1/2 feet. Females are larger, some reaching 14 pounds and having a wingspan of up to 8 feet. This striking raptor has large, pale eyes; a powerful yellow beak; and great, black talons."

The sexes have similar plumage, but the males are larger than the females. They are similar to cormorants and penguins. All of these birds have webbed feet, float low in the water, and chase fish by swimming underwater. The fact that a loon often abruptly dives for fish resulted in the birds being referred to as “divers” in the Old World. To aid their swimming and diving, their legs are located far back on their body. This results in their having great difficulty walking and this clumsy behavior resulted in the birds being termed “loons” in the New World. Grebes also have their legs located far back on their body and they too walk ungainly. To aid in their digestion of food, loons ingest pebbles from lake bottoms to help grind their food. In the past, lead fishing sinkers were also ingested along with the pebbles and that caused a decline in loon population."

"text": "Bird animal totems have been used symbolically within all cultures throughout history. However, it is the Native American culture that is most often associated with the term animal totems. These totems are animal spirit guides who serve as messengers and are with us throughout our physical and spiritual lives to help us gain insights, self-awareness, enhance our connection to the past and even see glimpses of future events. In the true sense, specific animal instincts and characteristics represent the qualities that we humans should learn to emulate. However, because we lead such busy and complicated lives, often there is no time for self-reflection. Having animal totems surround us gives us pause to reflect and perhaps make important changes for the better to our mind, body and spirit. At times, they can come into our lives when we are at a crossroads or during times of major decision-making. Each specific animal has its own cycle of power. This cycle is the time at which the animal can pass on his most important messages and powerful energies to you. For example, the bear has a cycle of power that is spring and summer, because he is not as active during the winter months when he spends some of that time hibernating."

They are any bird that is particularly adapted to life in and around the water. They range from cold-weather loving flightless emperor penguins that glide through the water to whimbrels, which have beaks perfect for finding food in the sand. In North America, we differentiate between the shorebirds that spend most of their time near the water and waterfowl that prefer to spend most of their time actually on or in the water. But the rest of the world generally uses “waterbirds” to refer to both types. Either way, aquatic birds are all highly dependent upon healthy water systems to sustain them. In short, as the Waterbird Conservation for the Americas, writes:“The term ‘waterbird’ refers to bird species dependent on aquatic habitats to complete portions of their life cycles. Waterbirds can be further characterized by other non-technical terms relating to where they typically forage."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature30 Basic Bird Groups Share Flipboard Email Print Oscar Wong / Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated December 07, 2017The earth is home to over 10,000 species of birds, scattered across a wide range of habitats—wetlands, woodlands, mountains, deserts, tundra, shorelines, and even the open sea. While experts differ on the fine details about how birds should be classified, on the following slides, you'll discover the 30 bird groups that pretty much everyone agrees on—ranging from albatrosses and petrels to toucans and woodpeckers.01of 30Albatrosses and Petrels (Order Procellariiformes)Getty Images Birds in the order Procellariiformes, also known as tubenoses, include diving petrels, gadfly petrels, albatrosses, shearwaters, fulmars and prions, about 100 living species in all. These birds spend most of their time at sea, gliding over the open water and dipping down to snatch meals of fish, plankton, and other small marine animals. Tubenoses are colonial birds, returning to land only to breed (breeding sites vary among species, but in general, these birds prefer remote islands and rugged coastal cliffs), and they are monogamous, forming long-term bonds between mating pairs. A unifying anatomical characteristic of albatrosses and petrels is their nostrils, which are enclosed in external tubes that run from the base of their bill towards its tip. Amazingly enough, these birds can drink seawater: they remove salt from the water using a special gland located at the base of their bills, after which the excess salt is excreted out through their tubular nostrils. The largest tubenose species is the wandering albatross, the wingspan of which can reach 12 feet. The smallest is the least storm petrel, with a wingspan of just over one foot.02of 30Birds of Prey (Order Falconiformes)Getty Images The Falconiformes, or birds of prey, include eagles, hawks, kites, secretary birds, ospreys, falcons and old world vultures, about 300 species in all. Also known as raptors (but not all that closely related to the raptor dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era), birds of prey are formidable predators, armed with powerful talons, hooked bills, acute eyesight, and broad wings well-suited for soaring and diving. Raptors hunt by day, feeding on fish, small mammals, reptiles, other birds, and abandoned carrion."

"text": "\"Watches Why Clocks Run Clockwise—and Some Watches That Don’t The reason is much older than clocks themselves By Jack Forster November 13, 2017 11:57:21 AM PSTFrom Source: Hodinkee Originally published by Jack Forster on Hodinkee. The first thing most of us notice about clocks and watches when we learn to tell time, is that the hands turn clockwise – the habit of perceiving clockwise motion as a representation of the forward movement of time is deeply ingrained; so much so that once having learned it, most of us cease to notice it at all. Imagine you are standing on the center of a watch: in any direction you face, the hands will appear to pass from left to right. Theoretically, we could just as easily tell time if they went from right to left, so why do clock and watch hands overwhelmingly have rightward, or clockwise, motion? Why is there no period in history where anticlockwise and clockwise rotation competed for supremacy? The explanation for the overwhelming preference for clockwise movement of clock hands is somewhat obscure, but a likely explanation (and one often cited) is that if you happen to be in the northern hemisphere, and you stand facing the Sun's path across the sky, you'll see it describe a clockwise arc as it travels from the east, to the southern sky overhead, and finally to the west, where it sets. If you make a sundial, the shadow the sundial throws will likewise follow a clockwise course, going from west to north to east (in opposition to the path of the Sun). Early clocks, so the thinking goes, simply reflected the apparent motion of the Sun, and of the gnomon (pointer) of a sundial. Breguet No. 3225, completed by George Daniels about 1968; accepted by Breguet's then-owner George Brown as a Breguet clock."

Prior to the mid-19th century, the town was best known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a fortified castle that rises up from a rocky escarpment at its center. In 1858 Lourdes rose to prominence in France and abroad due to the Marian apparitions claimed to have been seen by the peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, who was later canonized.

The enormous cargo ship caries 200,000 tonnes of goods and arrived into UK waters today from France as part of its maiden voyage. The CMA CGM Kerguelen, which is longer than four football pitches at 1,305ft, was christened in Le Havre, France yesterday and is due to spend 24 hours at port in Southampton, Hampshire, before departing for Hamburg. And new pictures showing the inside of the the super-ship, which can carry 17,722 containers each measuring 20ft, show the almost unfathomable scale of this feat of engineering. Scroll down for video+10This is the vast engine room of a ship which has the same power as 900 cars and produces enough electricity to light a town of 16,000 people+10The CMA CGM Kerguelen, which is longer than four football pitches at 1,305ft, was christened in Le Havre, France yesterday and is now on its way to Southampton, Hampshire. The British-registered container vessel is the largest ship in the UK and the third-largest in the whole world+10The breathtaking view from one of the brand new super-post panamax cranes over the hundreds of containers in Southampton Docks+10If all of the 17,722 20ft containers the ship can carry were stacked end to end, they would measure a staggering total of 67 miles The pictures show the enormous engine room, that looks bigger than a concert hall - yet is mobile, travelling the seas to deliver goods all over the world. It's cargo is so massive that, if all of the 17,722 20 ft cargo containers it is capable of carrying were stacked end to end, they would measure an incredible 67 miles in total. As well as being the biggest British-registered ship, it's the third largest in the world and is longer than five and a half air buses and at 54 metres wide, wider than France's Arc De Triomphe.

"text": "Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer Overview Pancreatic cancer is considered Stage IV if it has spread to distant locations in the body, such as the liver, lungs, or adjacent organs including the stomach, spleen, and/or the bowel. Sometimes it can only be determined that a pancreatic cancer is in Stage IV once surgery is completed. Patients diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer can be broadly divided into two groups: Stage IVA pancreatic cancer is locally confined, but involves adjacent organs or blood vessels, thereby hindering surgical removal. Stage IVA pancreatic cancer is also referred to as localized or locally advanced. Stage IVB pancreatic cancer has spread to distant organs, most commonly the liver. Stage IVB pancreatic cancer is also called metastatic. The goal of treatment for patients with localized IVA disease is to induce a remission, or a disease-free period that may last months or years. Management of patients with Stage IVB disease is often aimed at controlling symptoms and pain from the cancer. Stage IV pancreatic cancer is generally not removable by surgery and is therefore rarely curable and often difficult to control. A surgical procedure may be possible to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life in some patients, but the recommended treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer typically consists of chemotherapy."

Updated Dec 18, 2017 · Author has 141 answers and 617.5k answer views In this context \"\"ATM\"\" is short for atmospheres, where 1 atmosphere is the normal pressure at sea level. It is a rating for water resistance. So 10 atmospheres means the watch can withstand 10 times the pressure at sea level without allowing water in. This is equivalent to being 100m underwater, but moving water exerts more pressure than still, so you couldn't literally dive to 100 meters with it. Swimming at the surface of a swimming pool could subject a watch to 3 atmospheres of pressure, and jumping or diving in would add more. A 10-atmosphere (or 10-bar) rating is good enough for swimming at the surface or snorkeling at a shallow depth, but not enough for SCUBA diving.157.5k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Why are luxury watches waterproof till 3 ATM?

"text": "Ariel Adams Contributor I write about luxury timepieces. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Luxury 5/30/2013 @ 9:26AM 1,029,268 views The Truth About Replica Watches15-30% of internet searches on watches involve people looking for replicas. According to the Swiss watch industry, the replica watch market costs them billions of dollars each year, and efforts are made to confiscate fake watches and destroy them in spectacular ‘demonstrative’ ways. One of my favorite examples was from 2010 when about 7,000 replica Rolex watches were smooshed with a steamroller in front of press cameras as the culprit was sent to jail for six months. Most counterfeit goods aren’t given this treatment, and in reality this theatrical performance was done at the behest of concerned watch makers working in tandem with customs officials. How big of a problem are replica watches and are they actually a substitute for the real thing? The Watch Industry’s Sentiments A few years ago a consortium of high-end Swiss watch brands known as the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) began a publicity campaign with the message that “ Fake Watches Are For Fake People. ” I don’t think that the message truly resonated with an English speaking audience, but it showed a serious effort on their behalf to pressure people into buying the real thing. I was at a dinner a few years ago where speaking before a large audience, a famous Swiss watch brand’s CEO measured the group’s annual success by indicating a large amount replica watches with their name on them having been seized at the Swiss border."

"text": "\"I get asked this question a lot so I figured I would simply layout a number of the reasons why watches are expensive in an article. There is a threshold issues though - and that is between \"\"expensive\"\" and \"\"overpriced.\"\" Those two items are not mutually exclusive, and are different. Expensive just means that something costs a lot, but there is good reason for the price. Overpriced means that something simply has a cost that is vastly in excess of the materials cost + marketing costs + development costs + manufacturing cost + distribution costs + fair profit. Expensive watches and overpriced watches are very common. And unfortunately overpriced ones are too common. At the same time, you need to ask yourself, \"\"if a brand asks a certain overpriced amount for a watch, but is still able to sell them, can you still regard the watch as being overpriced?\"\" The answer is yes, but you still want the watch, don't you? I will now go ahead and list many (but not all) of the reasons that watches are so expensive."

Cussen; Updated September 11, 2015There's nothing more fun than winning when you gamble, especially if you win the lottery. Of course, for the millions of people who fail to accomplish this, there is the consolation of a potential tax deduction. Not that that compares with winning millions of dollars and spending the rest of your life on an island in the Caribbean. Total all of your itemized deductions to see whether you are eligible to itemize. If you are, then enter your itemized deductions on the appropriate line on Schedule A of the Form 1040. Add up all of your miscellaneous itemized deductions on line 28 of Schedule A. These include partnership losses, pension investment losses and several other assorted expenses, including gambling losses to the extent of winnings. Add up all of your gambling winnings for the year, if any, and then your losses, including all lottery ticket expenses. Compare the two totals. Deduct all of your losses as miscellaneous itemized deductions if they total less than your winnings. Deduct only the amount of losses equal to your winnings if your winnings exceeded your losses."

If you donate property to be used as the raffle prize itself, its value may be deductible as a charitable contribution. Charitable Deduction The cost of a raffle ticket is not deductible as a charitable contribution, even if the ticket is sold by a nonprofit organization. The IRS considers a raffle ticket to be a contribution from which you benefit. If you receive a benefit from making a donation, you can only deduct the amount of your donation that is greater than the value of the benefit you receive. The IRS explicitly prohibits deducting the cost of raffle tickets as a charitable contribution, presumably because it does not consider the cost of the ticket to be greater than its benefit.

It includes cash winnings and the fair market value of prizes, such as cars and trips.

You must report all gambling winnings on your Form 1040.pdf as \"\"Other Income\"\" (line 21), including winnings that aren't reported on a Form W-2G.pdf. When you have gambling winnings, you may be required to pay an estimated tax on that additional income. For information on withholding on gambling winnings, refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. Gambling Losses You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize your deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A.pdf, and kept a record of your winnings and losses.

As a country, we’ve gone through a wild week together, and like a Greek tragedy, it’s important to come out of the suffering with some wisdom—namely, there’s nothing you could have done differently. Gaming the lottery is next to impossible, but one way that’s often postulated as a tactic is to buy up every single number combination, thereby guaranteeing yourself of a victory. Unfortunately, in the current situation, using this strategy would not have been a victory. It would have been a tremendous loss. There are 292,201,338 million possible number combinations, so you’d have to spend $584,402,676 to buy all of them (most likely, in cash ). For last night’s jackpot, the lump sum (which you probably would have taken) takeaway was $561,720,000 post-tax. Three players won, and if you bought every combination and thereby automatically became a fourth winner, each person would have won $140,430,000 (grand prize split) plus $56,453,493 (all fixed prizes post-tax). But you have to subtract your outlay. The result would have been a $387,519,183 loss, though you could deduct $196,883,493 off your taxable income for a little cold comfort."

However, you won’t be able to keep the entire amount. Under federal law, lottery winnings are taxable, just like the income you earn at your job. You must report all gambling winnings on your federal tax return, and many states also demand a piece of your good luck. Uncle Sam Always Gets His Cut If your lottery prize exceeds $5,000, the lottery agency must report your winnings to the Internal Revenue Service. The agency will need your Social Security Number to complete IRS Form W-2G. It will give you a copy and send the original -- and 25 percent of your winnings -- to the IRS. The W-2G will show how much federal withholding the lottery agency deducted from your pay-out.

Gambling losses may be deducted as an itemized deduction. Losses cannot exceed winnings. Losses must be documented. Winnings must include all winnings not just those shown on a W-2G. Good news... You can! However, the bad news is that gambling losses are only deductible up to the amount of your winnings. This means that you can use your losses to offset your winnings, but you can never show a net gambling loss on your tax return. Gambling losses are only deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction, so you must itemize your deductions in order to claim the deduction. Even better news is that gambling losses are not subject to either the 2% of AGI reduction of miscellaneous deductions or the phase out of itemized deductions for high-income taxpayers."

You can claim your gambling losses up to the amount of your winnings on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, under 'Other Miscellaneous Deductions.'

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

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

Tasmania is surrounded by both the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Geographically, the island of Tasmania is similar to New Zealand, and is Australia's most mountainous state. The Central Highlands dominate the central and western parts of the state, while the central eastern Midlands are fairly flat. Much of Tasmania is densely forested, with the Southwest National Park being home to some of the last temperate rainforests in the Southern Hemisphere. In the island's far northwestern region, the Tarkine is the largest temperate rainforest in Australia, and covers roughly 1,500 sq. miles (3,800 sq. km). There are a great number of rivers within Tasmania, due to its rugged topography, the most notable of which include the Derwent and South Esk Rivers. The major lakes of Tasmania are Lake Pedder, Lake Gordon, and the Great Lake."

"text": "THE luderick or blackfish ( Girella tricuspidata) is found in the estuaries and coastal waters of Australia's east coast south from around Hervey Bay to near Adelaide, including most areas of Tasmania. They also occur in the northern parts of New Zealand, where they are known as Parore. A number of the ludrick's close relatives in the Family Girellidae are also commonly targeted around Australia's southern coastline, including black drummer Girella elevata, the zebra fish Girella zebra, and WA's rock blackfish Girella tephraeops. Though often described as herbivores, all of these fish are more accurately described as omnivores. Much of their natural diet consists of a few different types of algae, but they also eat quite a lot of other animal material. This is where the members of the family Girellidae differ markedly from members of the closely related family Kyphosidae (which includes the silver drummer Kyphosus sydneyanus ), which eat algae almost exclusively which they digest using microbial fermentation in the gut (and thus can rightly be described as true herbivores). It's their unusually selective diets that makes luderick and their relatives such fascinating species to target. When you take a close look at a luderick, one of the first things you notice are their small but sharp incisor-like teeth, clearly designed for grazing on weed, particularly bait weed (filamentous green algae Enteromorpha intestinalis) and sea cabbage. These teeth can also make short work of light leaders which is why many specialist luderick fishers rely on landing nets to secure their catch. Luderick also have a useful array of crushing teeth which help them grind algae and gain the most from this plentiful but relatively low energy food supply."

Unfortunately historical records aren’t very good and so the claim can’t be confirmed, although Australia does still have the tallest hardwood trees in the world. This lovely big old Eucalyptus regnans is still growing in Tasmania The first time I visited Tasmania was in 1993. It was an amazing, beautiful place, with the most remarkable old-growth forests that seemed to be everywhere. Some of those forests had the most bewildering, fantastic giant trees on the planet. It was nature all over — trees, wildlife, scenery, more scenery, more wildlife — okay, you get the idea. Ten years later I went back and was shocked at how much it had changed. You can still have a great time in Tassie, but if you want to see nature then you will not be rewarded with the sheer abundance of wild beauty that I saw in ’93. However, you can still find some some preserved patches of the old magic, including some surviving giant trees, if you know where to find it. At the end of this page I link to a website that tells you about some of the biggest ones."

The diversity of Tasmania's vegetation is also remarkable and includes some of the most ancient plant species on Earth, the tallest flowering trees, the oldest plant clones and a high proportion of endemic species Animals Tasmania is a natural haven for Australian wildlife. Bennetts wallabies, seals, penguins and wedge-tailed eagles can be found without venturing too far from the state's capital, Hobart, and encounters with friendly wildlife are an almost inevitable feature of travels around the state. Tasmanian devil About the size of a small dog, the Tasmanian devil is the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and is found only in Tasmania. The discordant snarls, screeches and growls they make are believed to have contributed to the naming of the devil and they are often heard fighting over food and during mating. Wombat The wombat is a large marsupial found only in Australia. Wombats are nocturnal creatures and have powerful claws and rodent-like front teeth that they use for digging extensive burrows. Being marsupials, the wombat rears its young in a pouch, however in the case of the wombat this is a backwards-facing pouch – a very useful evolutionary variation that prevents the wombat covering its young with soil when digging. Wombats weigh around 25-30 kg and are herbivores, eating mainly grasses, herbs, bark and roots. One of the best places to see wombats is in the late afternoon at Narawntapu National Park in Tasmania's north."

"text": "\"A Personal View of Tasmania's History© 2001 Rod Ewins A Brief History of Tasmania Part 1: The First Tasmanians, and European Discoveries and Invasion No part of Australia is more tangibly steeped in history than Tasmania, both because it was the second settlement area in Australia after Sydney, and because it escaped much of the destruction of physical heritage that occurred elsewhere during the spree of \"\"modernisation\"\" that followed World War II. As a result, history is a common obsession: it has been said that there are more historians per square kilometre in Tasmania than anywhere else in Australia. Indeed, it has also been said that Tasmania has \"\"too much history\"\", the obsession with it becoming a mental shackle inhibiting the embrace of change. However, its human history is far more ancient than the brief 200 years of European settlement. The First Tasmanians Archaeological exploration has established the existence of human habitation certainly no less than 20,000 and possibly as early as 30,000 years ago, when Tasmania was physically part of greater Australia. As to who these early settlers were, some stone implements that have been found correlate with Pleistocene examples found on the Australian continent, suggesting a continuity with populations there up to that time. How those people relate to later continental Aboriginal people remains a matter of debate, though at the time of Western contact, the Aborigines of Tasmania were apparently physically, linguistically and culturally distinct from their nearest \"\"mainland\"\" neighbours. It may be presumed that most Tasmanian settlement sites from that period of glaciation and low sea levels (c.18,000 BP), being coastal, were progressively flooded as sea-levels rose, isolating Tasmania c.12,000 BP and reaching present levels c.6,000 BP. From that time until European invasion of the island, though like other indigenous Australians the people had a nomadic life pattern, settlement sites remained well-defined and continuously re-visited, and socially connected groups (often inexactly called \"\"tribes\"\") clearly identified territories to which they had exclusive access. There were some ten mutually-incomprehensible languages among the 4-6,000 people living in Tasmania at the beginning of the 19th Century, and there was reportedly also considerable physical diversity between groups."

If earth, moon and sun are all in a line, the lunar and solar tides will go to their extreme. This will result in higher high tides and lower low tides. But if the earth, moon and sun form a right angle, the solar tide will tend to diminish the lunar tide. Because the moon’s contribution is more than twice that of the sun, the solar tide will not completely cancel the lunar tide. To put this in simple terms the large tides caused by the linear alignment of the sun, earth and moon are called spring tides and occur at two week intervals corresponding to new and full moons."

They are great sportfish especially when targeted with traditional 'luderick outfits'. How To Identify: Luderick are a solid oval shaped fish with a broad slightly forked tail. Luderick are brownish on its back and lighter below with up to 12 narrow bands on the side. Luderick caught on the ocean front can be quite bronze in colour however after they have entered the estuaries and spent time there they loose that bronze look and look darker and sometimes even a purple tinge to them. The vertical bars and much more pronounced on the ocean caught fish. Luderick have a very small mouth. Luderick can grow to about 5 kgs however a fish to half that size is a good fish with the average being just below 1kg. How To Catch: Luderick are basically vegetarian and are nearly solely fished for with green weed, however on occasion will take cunjii or shelled prawns intended for rock blackfish or bream off the rocks. I have actually taken with unweighted bread."

The impounded reservoir is called Lake Gordon. The dam was constructed in 1974 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS) for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power via the conventional Gordon Power Station located below the dam wall.

The single controlled spillway is capable of discharging 175 cubic metres per second (6,200 cu ft/s). [ 1]Approximately 48 arch dams have been built in Australia and only nine have double curvature.

"text": "The cost of building in Tasmania In 2008, it cost approximately $11,000 to $12,000 a square to build a brick-veneer home in Tasmania, according to Michael Kerschbaum, Technical Services Manager at the Master Builders Association of Tasmania. The current price may be up to 50% more as the cost of materials and the additional costs associated with compliance with 'eco' regualtions are factored in. Architect-designed homes with luxury inclusions, are often more expensive than this, he indicated. Costs are difficult to estimate without a detailed house plan and site analysis. The soil type and the slope and access of the building block have an impact on the cost. According to Mr Kerschbaum, Tasmanian builders are good at building “boutique” homes. For one-off designs they are very competitive with builders in the mainland states of Australia.economies of scale About 2,600 homes are built in Tasmania annually. There are two or three builders in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and WA who would each build more than that number every year, according to Mr Kerschbaum. Obviously, certain builders on the mainland of Australia, with economies of scale and small profit margins, are able to offer remarkably low prices for project homes. In Tasmania, few houses are bought off a developer’s plan.labour costs in tasmania Labour costs in Tasmania are lower."

"text": "Best Bait: Green weed, cabbage weed, sometimes yabbies or worms. Luderick’s feeding habits differ greatly from other species. They are a small mouthed, weed-eating fish caught under a float on a small hook, after a very wary bite. They are also one of the greatest light gear fighters for their size, and require skill to catch. Float fishing is the main technique used and it is preferable to have the line between the rod tip and the float, out of, or on top of the water, therefore heavy lines are out. Lines with a diameter of between .30mm and .25mm are best. To enable you to regularly change the depth of your rig, your float is left running on the line as this allows you to quickly adjust your depth and help locate the fish. A float stop is used above the float to set the depth you’re fishing at. This free running float rig is compact and can be cast easily. When the rig hits the water, the weight of the sinker and bait will pull the line through the float until the stop is reached, then the weight of the sinker stands the float upright."

"text": "\"Native Americans and Jobs The Challenge and the Promise Report • By Algernon Austin • December 17, 2013Briefing Paper #370Download PDFPress release I n recent years, Native Americans have increased their income and wealth through new and innovative economic development activities. For instance, tribes have increased their control over their natural resources and food systems, they have become players in the country’s energy sector, and they have begun trading with Asia (National Congress of American Indians 2013b). Despite these positive developments, however, Native Americans are still one of the United States’ most economically disadvantaged populations. In 2011, about one in four American Indians and Alaska Natives 1 (26.4 percent) lived in poverty. In contrast, about one in 10 non-Hispanic whites (11 percent) lived in poverty (U. S. Census Bureau 2013). Not surprisingly, the Native American population is a relatively low-wealth population. In 2000, Native Americans’ median wealth was equal to only 8.7 percent of the median wealth among all Americans (Chang 2010, 14). For most Americans, a home is a key source of wealth. Native Americans, however, have a significantly lower homeownership rate than whites, and the homes they do own tend to be worth much less than those of whites (Insight Center for Community Economic Development 2009, 1). As has long been the case, many Native American communities are economically depressed, and their jobless rates are high."

Parker, a member of the Seneca tribe, drew up the articles of surrender which General Robert E. Lee signed at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Gen. Parker, who served as Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's military secretary and was a trained attorney, was once rejected for Union military service because of his race. At Appomattox, Lee is said to have remarked to Parker, \"\"I am glad to see one real American here,\"\" to which Parker replied, \"\"We are all Americans. \"\" Read this intriguing account of Native American contributions to the war effort for a fuller understanding of what the conflict meant to \"\"all Americans. \"\" Allegiance to the Federal Government Approximately 20,000 Native Americans served in the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, participating in battles such as Pea Ridge, Second Manassas, Antietam, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and in Federal assaults on Petersburg. By fighting with the white man, Native Americans hoped to gain favor with the prevailing government by supporting the war effort. They also saw war service as a means to end discrimination and relocation from ancestral lands to western territories. Instead, the Civil War proved to be the Native American's last effort to stop the tidal wave of American expansion. While the war raged and African Americans were proclaimed free, the U. S. government continued its policies of pacification and removal of Native Americans. The Delaware Nation had a long history of allegiance to the U. S. government, despite removal to the Wichita Indian Agency in Oklahoma, and the Indian Territory in Kansas."

It happened, sure (here in North Carolina, we have the Lumbee, for example), but not to the extent that it did in Canada or Mexico. Also, the mortality rate of Native Americans along the Eastern Seaboard left fewer Indigenous people to intermarry with by the 18th century than in Canada and Mexico. We know there’s a high amount of indigenous contribution to the Mexican genome, probably because a significant portion of the indigenous population in that area survived and there was a lot of intermarriage. Canada has a distinct mixed-race population called the Metis who identify as a First Nations group (like the Mestizos in Mexico; there’s not really an equivalent in the U. S.). They are descendants of French (or Scottish and some Dutch) trappers and First Nations women who intermarried during the height of the fur trade from the early 17th century to the early 19th century. That’s a long time. The Wikipedia page on the Metis claims that up to half of the population in Western Canada (where most people who identify as Metis live) could have First Nations descent: Métis in Canada - Wikipedia We know that the Filles du Roi (about 800 French women) were brought over in the second half of the 17th century due to the high concern about the number of mixed marriages in Quebec (keeping in mind that “Quebec” included the entire Louisiana Purchase, and what we now call Quebec, at the time). There were about three thousand French people in New France at the time and only one in seven of them was a woman."

One might as well ask “Why is the sky blue?”Obviously, a rhetorical question to be profound as one does not need the technical scientific answer to “Why the sky is blue?”The author has been asked the above question concerning Native America many times and each time the answer is different based on how the inflection of the question was asked. Does one want to know this based on ancestry, beliefs, civilization, culture, customs, ethnicity, heritage, history, humanities, legality, philosophy, principles, race, religion, spirit, thoughts, traditions, values, or other? DNAThe fact that DNA Testing can give results of one’s race has always been a debate. This comes from the continuous argument on what is race and how many races there are. Using DNA testing to determine if one is Native American is a rather heated debate. What some fail to realize is that the DNA test results will show “markers” usually in the percentage of certain biological traits associated with a certain race. The DNA test has shocked many people of all races."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For state recognition in the United States, see State recognized tribes. President Coolidge stands with four Osage Indians at a White House ceremony American Indian tribal recognition in the United States most often refers to the process of a tribe being recognized by the United States federal government, or to a person being granted membership to a federally recognized tribe. There are 567 federally recognized tribal governments in the United States. Non-Acknowledged Tribes are tribes which have no federal designation as sovereign entities. This is not to be confused with recognition of Native Americans in the US which are defined by the BIA as any descendant of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas which is a US citizen. Federally Non-Recognized tribes refers to a subgroup of non-acknowledged tribes which had some sort of recognition by the British prior to the formation of the United States or by the United States but which were determined by the government to no longer exist as an Indian tribe or no longer meet the criteria for a nation to nation status. [ 1] [2] [3]The United States recognizes the right of these tribes to self-government and supports their tribal sovereignty and self-determination. These tribes possess the right to establish the legal requirements for membership. [ 4] They may form their own government, enforce laws (both civil and criminal), tax, license and regulate activities, zone, and exclude people from tribal territories. Limitations on tribal powers of self-government include the same limitations applicable to states; for example, neither tribes nor states have the power to make war, engage in foreign relations, or coin money.

The Catawba Indians have often been left out of historical accounts. A reader graciously shared this information about the Catawbas and their participation in the Civil War. The The Catawba Nation is the only federally recognized tribe in the state of South Carolina. Photograph below from Wikipedia“The Catawba Indians, though a war-like nation, were ever friends of the white settlers. They aided and fought with the Americans in the Revolution, and the Confederates during the Civil War. Tradition says they immigrated to this portion of South Carolina from Canada about 1600, numbering some12,000. Their wars with the Cherokee, Shawnee and other nations, together with the smallpox, depleted their numbers greatly. In 1764 the province of South Carolina alloted them 15 miles square in York and Lancaster counties. About 1840 a new treaty was made, the State buying all their land, and afterwards laid them off 800 acres on the west bank of the Eswa Tavora (Catawba River), six miles south of Fort Mill, where the remnant, about 75, now live, receiving a small annuity From the State."

The Lumbee/Croatan have no native American Indian language or customs attributed to them ,have no indian words or names and have never spoken any native American language. The Lumbee self-identify as Indian. The people now calling themselves Lumbee are a mixed race group who are mostly White-Black with a smidge of Native blood (of indeterminate tribal affiliation). They had to downplay their African or mixed heritage and exigerate and overstate their \"\"Native American\"\" identity because of the intense racism in the past. They have been identified as mixed black/white ancestry from the 1700s and were speaking ENGLISH even in the earliest historical references.

S. state of North Carolina. Before 200 AD, residents were building earthwork mounds, which were used for cooking and religious purposes. Succeeding peoples, including those of the ancient Mississippian culture established by 1000 AD in Piedmont, continued to build or add onto such mounds. In the 500–700 years preceding European contact, the Mississippian culture built large, complex cities and maintained far-flung regional trading networks. Historically documented tribes in the North Carolina region included the Carolina Algonquian -speaking tribes of the coastal areas, such as the Chowanoke, Roanoke, Pamlico, Machapunga, Core, Cape Fear Indians, and others, who were the first encountered by the English; Iroquoian -speaking Meherrin, Cherokee and Tuscarora of the interior; and Southeastern Siouan tribes, such as the Cheraw, Waxhaw, Saponi, Waccamaw, and Catawba. Spanish attempts to settle the interior, with several forts built by the Jose Pardo expedition in the 1560s, ended when the Indians destroyed the forts and killed most of the garrisons. Nearly two decades later, English colonists began to settle the coastal areas, starting with a charter in 1584. Sir Walter Raleigh (namesake of the city of Raleigh) began two small settlements in the late 1580s, but they failed."

"text": "Day 15: The Respiratory System How Do Humans Breathe? Lung Anatomy The lungs are made up of millions of tiny balloons called alveoli, which fill with air each time you inhale and deflate each time you exhale. The many microscopic alveoli make the lungs look like sponges. Alveoli are made up of squamous epitheliel tissue, which is very thin and elastic, like the walls of a balloon. When you breath, air goes down your windpipe or trachea. The trachea branches off to either lung; these branches are called branchi. Each branchus branches again and again into smaller and smaller branches, like a tree. The tiniest of these branches are called bronchioles. Each bronchiole supplies air to a cluster of alveoli, called an alveolar sac. The individual alveoli are connected to the bronchioles by tiny ducts."

"text": "Alternative Title: pulmonary alveoli Pulmonary alveolus, plural pulmonary alveoli, any of the small air spaces in the lungs where carbon dioxide leaves the blood and oxygen enters it. Air, entering the lungs during inhalation, travels through numerous passageways called bronchi and then flows into approximately 300,000,000 alveoli at the ends of the bronchioles, or lesser air passages. During exhalation, the carbon-dioxide-laden air is forced out of the alveoli through the same passageways. The alveoli form clusters, called alveolar sacs, that resemble bunches of grapes. By the same analogy, the alveolar ducts leading to the sacs are like the stems of individual grapes, but, unlike grapes, the alveolar sacs are pocketlike structures made up of several individual alveoli. The wall of each alveolus, lined by thin flat cells (Type I cells) and containing numerous capillaries, is the site of gas exchange, which occurs by diffusion. The relatively low solubility (and hence rate of diffusion) of oxygen necessitates the large internal surface area (about 80 square m [96 square yards]) and very thin walls of the alveoli. Weaving between the capillaries and helping to support them is a meshlike fabric of elastic and collagenous fibres. The collagen fibres, being more rigid, give the wall firmness, while the elastic fibres permit expansion and contraction of the walls during breathing. Among the other cells found in the alveolar walls are a group called granular pneumocytes (Type II cells), which secrete surfactant, a film of fatty substances believed to contribute to the lowering of alveolar surface tension."

Pneumonia Definition Pneumonia is an infection of the lung that can be caused by nearly any class of organism known to cause human infections. These include bacteria, amoebae, viruses, fungi, and parasites. In the United States, pneumonia is the sixth most common disease leading to death; 2 million Americans develop pneumonia each year, and 40,000-70,000 die from it. Pneumonia is also themost common fatal infection acquired by already hospitalized patients. In developing countries,pneumonia ties with diarrhea as the most common cause of death. Even in nonfatal cases,pneumonia is a significant economic burden on the health care system. One study estimatesthat people in the American workforce who develop pneumonia cost employers five times as much in health care as the average worker. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, the number of deaths from pneumonia in the United States has declined slightly since 2001. Description Anatomy of the lung To better understand pneumonia, it is important to understand the basic anatomic features of therespiratory system."

The respiratory system is responsible for important secondary functions as well. These include vocalization (speech), or the production of sound as air passes over the vocal cords; assistance with abdominal compression that occurs during micturition (urination), defecation, and parturition (childbirth); and the natural reflexes of coughing and sneezing, which assure that the respiratory system is kept clean.respiratory tract The respiratory tract begins at the lips and nostrils and ends at the lungs. The respiratory system also consists of structures that are important in digestion, such as the mouth and the pharynx.upper respiratory system Is \"\"all in your head\"\" (and upper throat) and is comprised of the nasal cavity, nares, larynx, hard palate, soft palate, and pharynx.lower respiratory system Begins with the trachea and encompasses the lungs and bronchi. Respiration An involuntary process controlled by the brain, and it consists of two basic functions: ventilation and diffusion. Ventilation This is the process of breathing in and out. a. Inspiration: Inspiration occurs when the diaphragm (the musculomembranous partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities and the major inspiratory muscle) moves to create a slight vacuum in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and draw air from the airway inward to the lungs. b. Expiration: At the end of this cycle expiration occurs. This is when the chest wall relaxes and the lungs contract to expel air. During a very deep inspiration, the capacity of the chest cavity is maximized."

Listenen español Los pulmones y el sistema respiratorio Breathing is so vital to life that it happens automatically. Each day, you breathe about 20,000 times, and by the time you're 70 years old, you'll have taken at least 600 million breaths. Respiratory System Basics All of this breathing couldn't happen without the respiratory system, which includes the nose, throat, voice box, windpipe, and lungs. At the top of the respiratory system, the nostrils (also called nares) act as the air intake, bringing air into the nose, where it's warmed and humidified. Tiny hairs called cilia protect the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract, filtering out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air. Air can also be taken in through the mouth. These two openings of the airway (the nasal cavity and the mouth) meet at the pharynx, or throat, at the back of the nose and mouth. The pharynx is part of the digestive system as well as the respiratory system because it carries both food and air. At the bottom of the pharynx, this pathway divides in two, one for food (the esophagus, which leads to the stomach) and the other for air."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Respiratory System Alveoli How are alveoli adapted for gas exchange? Flag How are alveoli adapted for gas exchange? Answer by Bob Bobby Confidence votes 57The site of gaseous exchange in mammals is the epithelium of the alveoli. To enable efficient gaseous exchange the alveoli have a number of adaptations to make them fit for purpose. Since gaseous exchange in mammals is reliant on diffusion and diffusion is proportional to: Surface area x difference in concentration _______________________________________ Length of diffusion path The alveoli are adapted for gas exchange in three main ways: 1) A thin exchange surface- the alveolar epithelium and the endothelium of the capillaries which surround the alveoli are only one cell thick each which means there is a very short diffusion pathway which allows for a fast rate of diffusion. The diffusion pathway is shortened further as the distance between the alveolar air and red blood cells is reduced as the red blood cells are flattened against the capillary walls. The alveolar epithelium is also partially permeable which allows specific substances to diffused through easily. 2) The alveoli are covered in a series of blood vessels and capillaries which mean that the gasses can diffuse directly into the bloodstream. The action of the heart constantly circulated the blood through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs and this blood Flow through the capillaries maintains a steep concentration gradient. Once oxygen has diffused into the blood, it is removed from the site of diffusion by the constant blood flow and replaced with de-oxygenated blood flowing through."

"text": "\"Difference Between Bronchi and Bronchioles Posted on October 31, 2013 by admin Bronchi vs Bronchioles The human respiratory system is basically made up two lungs, located inside the upper part of the body cavity. Lungs increase the gas exchange surface area while minimizing the evaporation. However, the gas exchange takes place deep in the lungs, in alveoli, which are found at the end of a long series of tubes. The series of tube begins from the mouth and nose. The inhaled air first passes the throat, followed by the larynx, then the trachea. At the end of the trachea, it divides into two branches; the left and right bronchus, and each bronchus lead into a lung. Each bronchus again divides into many branches forming a network of tubes, which ends with smaller tubes called bronchioles. The trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles are collectively known as tracheobronchial system. The entire tracheobronchial system is made up of three layers; mucosa, submucosa, and fibrocartilaginous layer. The proportions of all these three layers vary at each step; for example, the bronchioles do not contain cartilaginous layer."

Air is breathed in through the nose or the mouth. In the nasal cavity, a layer of mucous membrane acts as a filter and traps pollutants and other harmful substances found in the air. Next, air moves into the pharynx, a passage that contains the intersection between the esophagus and the larynx. The opening of the larynx has a special flap of cartilage, the epiglottis, that opens to allow air to pass through but closes to prevent food from moving into the airway. From the larynx, air moves into the trachea and down to the intersection that branches to form the right and left primary (main) bronchi. Each of these bronchi branch into secondary (lobar) bronchi that branch into tertiary (segmental) bronchi that branch into smaller airways called bronchioles that eventually connect with tiny specialized structures called alveoli that function in gas exchange."

Surfactant is a lining in the alveoli made of lipids and proteins. Surface tension of the alveoli are important to keep the alveoli shape, but surfactant is needed to regulate surface tension. Also surface tension promotes movement of fluids across the alveolar membrane, therefore the surfactant also regulates the movement of fluids. Attraction of the molecules in the fluid film within the alveoli is what causes surface tension. The water molecules have a higher attraction to each other than the air in the surrounding area causes the fluid film to take up the smallest area possible. Therefore as surface tension force increases alveoli area decreases. Surfactant plays a large part into preventing lung collapse because it lowers surface tension allowing for the alveoli area to increase. If surfactant didn’t regulate the surface tension, then the alveoli would collapse causing lung collapse. Without surface tension the alveoli then are more likely to expand and cause lysing of the alveoli."

It is hard to investigate the organisation of these structures in sections, because when the lungs are removed, they collapse. Basically the respiratory system consists of a branching set of air spaces, which are in close proximity to pulmonary capillaries. The air space is exchanged around 10 to 15 times a minute. The air spaces are within 0.2µm of the blood, which is a very thin barrier to diffusion. This arrangement means there is a fast efficient transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the air, the major function of the respiratory portion. The terminal bronchioles branch to give rise to respiratory bronchioles, which lead to alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli. This diagram shows a diagram of an alveolar sac, showing how the organisation of the alveoli, and the network of blood capillaries that surround the alveoli (in red). These capillaries are derived from the pulmonary arterioles.

Human homeostasis refers to the body's ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather. The liver, the kidneys, and the brain (hypothalamus, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system [1]) help maintain homeostasis. The liver is responsible for metabolizing toxic substances and maintaining carbohydrate metabolism. The kidneys are responsible for regulating blood water levels, re-absorption of substances into the blood, maintenance of salt and ion levels in the blood, regulation of blood p H, and excretion of urea and other wastes. An inability to maintain homeostasis may lead to death or a disease, a condition known as homeostatic imbalance. For instance, heart failure may occur when negative feedback mechanisms become overwhelmed and destructive positive feedback mechanisms take over.

Sulphur is found in every cell in the body. It is structurally and functionally important to 150 compounds within the body, including tissues, enzymes, hormones, antibodies and antioxidants. Organic sulphur is known for its anti-inflammatory and circulation enhancing properties.

In unicellular organisms and simple multicellular organisms, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is accomplished by direct diffusion across the body surface. In more complex animals, high activity requires a large expenditure of energy (and thus a large amount of O 2 ); also, many tissues are located deep inside the body. In these animals direct gas exchange is not adequate to meet oxygen demands. Instead, their respiration involves two steps: (1) external respiration, which is the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide across the surface of specialized respiratory organs such as lungs or gills, and (2) internal respiration , in which oxygen is taken up by the body tissues and the carbon dioxide is released from them. Circulation is a vital function for large and active animals. Oxygen taken up by the respiratory organs is transported to all parts of the body for internal respiration by means of the circulatory system. Similarly, carbon dioxide released by the body cells is transported back to the respiratory organs by means of the circulatory system."

"text": "The circulatory system is made up of a network of vessels and organs, including the heart, lungs, veins, arteries, and capillaries. Each part of the system works together to help blood pump through the body and reach other tissue and vital organs. In a healthy circulatory system, all the parts work together in a smooth, endless circuit. A healthy circulatory system is essential to survival, as every part of the body requires oxygen-rich blood in order to thrive. When blood fails to reach a certain organ or appendage, the tissue in that region stops working and dies. On the outside of the body, such as the hands or feet, the dead tissue may need to be removed through amputation. When it occurs in a vital organ, the patient will either need an organ transplant or will need to remain on certain machines that can perform the tasks of that organ. The heart is the primary driving force behind the circulatory system. All the blood in the body passes through the four chambers of the heart, and the organ’s pumping action allows the fluid to reach the rest of the body. When all the parts are working correctly, blood flows into the right side of the heart and moves through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it receives more oxygen."

Pneumonia usually is caused by a bacteria or virus. In chemical pneumonia, inflammation of lung tissue is from poisons or toxins. Only a small percentage of pneumonias are caused by chemicals. Many substances can cause chemical pneumonia, including liquids, gases, and small particles, such as dust or fumes, also called particulate matter. Some chemicals only harm the lungs; however, some toxic materials affect other organs in addition to the lungs and can result in serious organ damage or death. Aspiration pneumonia is another form of chemical pneumonia. Aspiration means that you breathe oral secretions or stomach contents into your lungs. The inflammation comes from the toxic effects of stomach acid and enzymes on lung tissue. Bacteria from the stomach or mouth can also cause a bacterial pneumonia."

The plural for this medical term is hemithoraxes or hemithoraces. The hemithoraces are made up of the ribs, sternum, and thoracic vertebrae. It holds and provides protection to vital organs in the chest, such as the lungs and heart. The thorax is the chest area of the body, positioned between the neck and abdomen. The boundaries of this region are drawn by the ribs, sternum, and the thoracic vertebrae, also known as the dorsal vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae are the 12 segments between the cervical vertebrae, which are the first seven vertebrae in the neck and the lumbar vertebrae, which include five vertebrae in the curved portion of the lower back. Each hemithorax serves as a home and protection for the organs in the chest. These organs include the lungs, heart, and part of the aorta, which are key aspects of the circulatory and respiratory systems."

"text": "\"The Killing Power Of Big Game Bullets By Chuck Hawks How bullets kill A rifle bullet kills an animal by destroying tissue, disrupting the function of vital organs or the central nervous system, causing blood loss, and perhaps by shock to the animal's system. The latter can be almost instantly fatal, or almost completely lacking, depending on circumstances beyond the hunter's control. The more damage a bullet causes, the more likely it is to produce a quick kill. Shock seems most likely to occur when light framed animals are hit by high velocity bullets. The classic case would be when a small (say about 100 pound), relaxed, deer or antelope is hit by a 130 grain .270 bullet at short to medium range. Sometimes the animal goes down so fast that it seems as if the earth was jerked from under its feet. This is the \"\"four feet in the air\"\" effect. But if the same animal were frightened or excited before he was hit, he might run a considerable distance before expiring. As I said, shock can be deadly, but it is unpredictable. Energy and killing power Kinetic energy, the ability to do work (or in this case damage), is the most common measure of killing power for rifle bullets."

How much oxygen you get to your vital organs depends on a number of factors. Oxygen levels are especially important for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association, 12 million people in the United States were diagnosed with COPD as of 2009 and 12 million more likely have COPD but are undiagnosed. The ALA says COPD is the fourth leading cause of death. It is possible to help increase the oxygen level in your blood.

"text": "Home » Cat Conditions Low Blood Oxygen in Cats Hypoxemia in Cats Hypoxemia occurs when the blood in the arteries is not being oxygenated sufficiently. The condition is dangerous in cats because the oxygen that is vital for the functioning of all the organs is adversely affected. The brain can suffer irreversible damage when deprived of oxygen for even relatively short periods of time. Oxygen deficiency may also lead to anemia and/or hypoxia in the organs, which can progress to arrhythmia and heart failure. This is a serious condition that needs to be treated quickly. Symptoms and Types Coughing Difficulty breathing Shortness of breath Abnormally rapid breathing ( tachypnea)Open-mouthed breathing Rapid heartbeat ( tachycardia)Pain Gagging Inability to endure exercise Discoloration of skin and mucous membranes Collapse Causes High elevation Injury Pneumonia Disease of the lining of the lungs Anesthesia Heart disease Lung disease Feline asthma Lung or heart disease in elderly animals Diagnosis You will need to give your veterinarian a thorough history of your cat's health, including a background history of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have precipitated this condition. The history you provide may give your veterinarian clues as to which organs are being affected by the lack of oxygen. Your veterinarian will be looking for abnormal breathing, over-excitement, and anxiousness in your cat. Elevated body temperature and an examination for any head injuries will also be vital for making an accurate diagnosis. Samples of blood will be drawn for profiling and diagnostic purposes, and blood gas analyzers will be used for measuring levels of oxygen in the arterial blood."

"text": "Pneumonia in Cats: Causes, Treatments, Prevention and Tips By CDCPneumonia is an inflammatory, infectious condition affecting the lungs. It can involve one portion of the lungs, or the lungs in their entirety. Foreign organisms invade the respiratory system by way of the nostrils or trachea and make their way to the alveoli, which are little branches and clusters of air sacks that make up lung tissue. This causes an immune response, Inflammation, pus, liquid, or other material forms in the lungs. Cats can also develop aspiration pneumonia which is another means of fluid ending up in the lungs. Pneumonia is life-threatening if it is not addressed and treated in its early stages. Fortunately, it is not overly common in cats. Causes of Pneumonia The two normal and extremely vital functions of the lungs are called ventilation and perfusion. Ventilation is the intake of oxygen from the surrounding air. Perfusion is when blood flows to the lungs, picks up the inhaled oxygen and delivers it into the system by way of circulation."

aerobic organisms exchange CO₂ generated during cellular respiration for O₂ obtained from the external environment Lungs - higher vertebrates' respiratory system where gas exchange occurs at a single respiratory surface Respiratory Airways - air enters through external nares (nostrils) - nasal cavities, filtered by mucous and nasal hairs - pharynx - larynx (epiglottis closes the larynx when swallowing food) - trachea - two bronchi - bronchioles - alveoli Bronchi & Trachea - lined by ciliated epithelial cells - filters and traps particles inhaled along with air Alveoli - clusters of small air sacs - gas exchange between the lungs and circulatory system occurs here - each alveolus is coated with a thin layer of liquid containing surfactant and is surrounded by an extensive network of capillaries - three hundred million alveoli provide approximately 100 m² of moist respiratory surface for gas exchange Surfactant - lowers the surface tension of the alveoli - facilitates gas exchange across the membranes - reduces high surface tension of the fluid lining the alveoli, preventing alveolar collapse during exhalation Ventilation of the Lungs - \"\"breathing\"\" - the process by which air is inhaled and exhaled - the purpose is to take in oxygen from the atmosphere and eliminate carbon dioxide from the body - ventilating mechanism is dependent upon pressure changes in the thoracic cavity Thoracic Cavity - the body cavity that contains the heart and lungs Diaphragm - a muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity Lungs' Membranes - surrounded by visceral pleura and parietal pleura Interpleural space - space between two membranes - contains a thin layer of fluid - the pressure differential between the intrapleural space and the lungs (which is essentially atmospheric pressure) prevents lungs from collapsing Pneumothorax - caused by penetrating injury trauma to the chest - air enters the intrapleural space - intrapleural pressure increases - lung collapses - treated by inserting a needle and withdrawing air from the intrapleural space Stages of Ventilation: Inhalation - diaphragm contracts and flattens - external intercostal muscles contract - rib cage and chest wall pushed up and out - causes the thoracic cavity to increase in volume - intrapleural pressure decreases - lungs expand and fill with air Negative-Pressure Breathing - during inhalation, air is drawn in by a vacuum Stages of Ventilation: Exhalation - is generally a passive process - the lungs and chest wall are highly elastic and tend to recoil to their original positions after inhalation - diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax - chest wall pushes inward - decrease in thoracic cavity volume casues air pressure in the intrapleural space to increase - lungs deflate, air forced out of the alveoli - internal intercostal muscles contract & pull the rib cage down Control of Ventilation: Medulla Oblongata - ventilation is regulated by neurons in medulla oblongata, whose rhythmic discharges stimulate the intercostal muscles and/or the diaphragm to contract - neural signals can be modified by chemoreceptors, which respond to changes in the p H and the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood - when CO₂'s partial pressure increases, the medulla oblogata stimulates an increase in the rate of ventilation Control of Ventilation: Cerebrum - ventilation can be consciously controlled by the cerebrum - if a person tries to hold his breath too long, CO₂ concentration in blood incresaes, medulla oblongata override this attempt and stimulate inhalation Hyperventilation - deep, rapid breathing - lowers the partial pressure of CO₂ in the blood below normal - chemoreceptors sense this and send signals to the respiratory center, which temporarily inhibits breathing Spirometer - an instrument to measure the amount of air normally present in the respiratory system and the rate of which ventilation occurs Vital Capacity - the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled and exhaled from the lungs Tidal Volume - the amount of air normally inhaled and exhaled which each breath Residual Volume - the air that always remains in the lungs - prevents alveoli from collapsing Expiratory Reserve Volume - the volume of air that can still be forcibly exhaled following a normal exhalation Total Lung Capacity - vital capacity + residual volume Gas Exchange - occurs by diffusion across the pulmonary capillary walls and the alveoli - gases move from regions of higher partial pressure to areas with lower partial pressure - deoxygenated blood enters pulmonary capillaries (has lower partial pressure of O₂ than the air in the alveoli - thus O₂ diffuses down its gradient into the capillaries where it binds with hemoglobin - returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins Gas Exchange continued - partial pressure of CO₂ in the capillaries is greater than of the inhaled alveolar air - thus CO₂ diffuses from the capillaries into the alveoli, where it is released into the external environment during exhalation Pulmonary Capillaries - a dense network of minute blood vessels surrounding the alveoli At High Altitudes - partial pressure of O₂ in the atmosphere declines - harder to get enough oxygen to diffuse into the capillaries - the body can compensate by hyperventilation and by polycythemia - the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen decreases to facilitate unloading of oxygen in tissues - there is greater vascularization of the peripheral tissues Polycythemia - increasing the production of red blood cells to carry more oxygen Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Features Quizlet Live Quizlet Learn Diagrams Flashcards Mobile Help Sign up Help Center Honor Code Community Guidelines Students Teachers About Company Press Jobs Privacy Terms Follow us Language© 2018 Quizlet Inc. \""

The goal of this review is to examine the events that led to discovery of blood circulation. The Ancient Greeks, including Hippocrates and Galen viewed the cardiovascular system as comprising two distinct networks of arteries and veins. Galen claimed that the liver produced blood that was then distributed to the body in a centrifugal manner, whereas air or pneuma was absorbed from the lung into the pulmonary veins and carried by arteries to the various tissues of the body. Arteries also contained blood, which passed from the venous side via invisible pores in the interventricular septum and peripheral anastomoses. This was an open-ended system in which blood and air simply dissipated at the ends of veins and arteries according to the needs of the local tissue. Blood was not seen to circulate but rather to slowly ebb and flow."

The movement of blood within the human body is known as circulation, and the organs that constitute this mechanism are known as the circulatory system organs. The human heart takes less than a minute to pump blood to every cell in the body. The human circulatory system comprises the heart, blood and blood vessels which help in transferring essential nutrients and blood throughout the body. For every part of the body to function, every comprising cell requires myriad nutrients like sugars, vitamins, minerals and gases like oxygen. The circulatory system ensures that these vital molecules are collected from the appropriate sites, and delivered to every single cell of the body. The knowledge of the structure and functions of these organs has helped physicians and medical experts find cures for many critical health problems. The heart is the central organ of the circulatory system, and pumps blood into the blood vessels which carry it to all the body parts. The average heart rate in a normal person is 72 beats per minute, so one can imagine the speed at which blood flows through the body. The amount of blood present in the human body is about 7% of the body weight."

Larger doses may result in a variety of symptoms or death, even if those larger doses are the result of accumulations over time. Lupine toxicity is of particular concern to individuals raising forage animals, such as sheep and cattle. Identification Lupine plants are perennial herbs, usually between 1 and 2 feet in height. They are considered legumes, plants in the bean family. Leaves feature 10 to 15 leaflets that alternate along a central stalk in small, palm-like fronds. Leaves may or may not have hair on top, but the undersides are always hairy. Flowers are most commonly blue, but may be shades of purple, red, yellow or white and grow in rounded, bell-like shapes along a single stalk. Seeds are borne in long pods, as with other legumes. Types While most members of the lupine family are poisonous, that is not true of all of them."

"text": "\"LUPINS FOR THE UK GARDENERArticle by David Marks Lupins are perennial (i.e. they come up year after year) shrubs which start into growth after the last frosts, produce their first flush of flowers in late May / June and can continue flowering into early August if dead-headed correctly (see below). The flowers are large and very showy, in almost every possible colour imaginable including some unusual shades of blue. When grown from seed they are an extremely cheap and reliable plant for the cottage garden. Note that this article only covers perennial lupins, there are annual lupins but these only last one year and are grown in a very different way. Lupins grown on an allotment Use the checklist below to decide if Lupins are suited to your preferences and garden conditions. They prefer a neutral to slightly acidic soil but are tolerant of most other soils even those poor in nutrients. They will not grow successfully in chalky soils. They prefer a moist, well-drained soil but can be grown in most garden conditions. They do not like being water logged which can rot the crown. Prefer a full sun position although they can be grown successfully in light shade."

As with the preceding two volumes of the Arsène Lupin stories, this was first serialized in the French magazine Je sais tout from November 1908 to May 1909. The novel was released, with a few modifications, in June 1909. Contents [ hide ]1 Plot summary2 Sequels3 Principal characters4 External links Plot summary [ edit]The Needle of Étretat Arsène Lupin is opposed this time by Isidore Beautrelet, a young but gifted amateur detective, who is still in high school but who is poised to give Arsène Lupin a big headache. In the Arsène Lupin universe, the Hollow Needle is the second secret of Marie Antoinette and Alessandro Cagliostro, the hidden fortune of the kings of France, as revealed to Arsène Lupin by Josephine Balsamo in the novel The Countess of Cagliostro (1924). The Mystery of the Hollow Needle hides a secret that the Kings of France have been handing down since the time of Julius Caesar ... and now Arsène Lupin has mastered it. The legendary needle contains the most fabulous treasure ever imagined, a collection of queens' dowries, pearls, rubies, sapphires and diamonds... the fortune of the kings of France. When Isidore Beautrelet discovers the Château de l'Aiguille in the department of Creuse, he thinks that he has found the solution to the riddle (\"\"l'Aiguille Creuse\"\" being French for \"\"The Hollow Needle\"\", and also the French title of the novel). However, he did not realize that the château was built by Louis XIV, the king of France, to put people off the track of a needle in Normandy, near the town of Le Havre, where Arsène Lupin, known also under the name of Louis Valméras, has hidden himself. Sequels [ edit]A direct sequel to this novel, featuring Lupin against La Griffe, is the novel Le second visage d'Arsène Lupin by Boileau-Narcejac in 1975."

When outdoors, teach your child to stay away from plants and not to eat any non-food items. Make sure you and your child’s caregivers know the names of all plants and trees inside and outside your home. It’s a good idea to leave the tags on all items you bring home from a plant nursery. If you don’t know the names, an expert from a plant nursery may be able to help you identify the plant and give you a tag to place near your plant."

Although many toxic water plants are better suited for growth on the banks of rivers, ponds and lakes, they can sometimes adapt to growth in shallows. Some of these plants are highly toxic, while others have parts that are only toxic during certain parts of the growing season. Arrow Arum Arrow arum (Peltandra virginica) is an aquatic plant that is poisonous. This freshwater plant grows only in water, and will not grow once an area has dried out due to a drop in water levels or drought. It has large, triangular leaves that rise above shallow water. The leaves have protrusions near the stems that make them look like arrows, hence their name. They produce a fleshy, cylindrical inflorescence that eventually turns into a seed pod that drops its seeds into the marsh. The plant can cause pain in the mouth, throat and stomach. Sensitivity varies, depending on the size of the person or animal ingesting this plant."

"text": "Wildlife Plants:: Lupine February 2, 2011 | Kelly Brenner | Wildlife Plant Profile, Wildlife Plants | 7 Comments Lupines ( Lupinus) are members of the pea family ( Leguminosae) and there are many species native to the Pacific Northwest. In fact Lupinus and Trifolim (Clovers) together make up the largest genera in the family in the Pacific Northwest. Some of the species include Nootka lupine ( Lupinus nootkatensis ), Large-leaved lupine ( L. polyphyllus ), Silky lupine ( L. sericeus) and Small-flowered lupine ( L. polycarpus ). Lupine’s are one of those plants that make it easy to convince people to create habitat. Their structure, leaves and flowers are beautiful and colorful, they bloom for a good length of time, and there is likely a species for most different habitat types. Indeed, Arctic lupine ( L. arcticus) grows in subalpine elevations and the Seashore lupine ( L. littoralis) grows down to the immediate coast. Some species grow in dry soils while others grow in wetlands. Flowers vary in color from blue and purple to white, pink or red and leaves vary in shades of green as well as in texture. They range from very short in stature, to upwards of 3′ high and a mass planting in a wetland can be stunning. The roots of the Seashore and Nootka lupine were eaten by several groups of local tribes by roasting them or drying for winter use."

These plants may be smoked recreationally for their stimulant effects and mild hallucinogenic properties. Mescal bean may have been used by Native American peoples for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. Sophora root is used in traditional Chinese medicine where it is known as \"\"Ku Shen\"\" and is used to treat dysentery, scabies, itchy rashes such as with eczema, skin lesions, jaundice, edema, urinary dysfunction, and vaginal discharge. Lupinus species contain sparteine, a tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid, and lupinine, a bicyclical quinolizidine alkaloid. Lupinus species are broadly divided into bitter lupins, which contain high levels of alkaloids in their seeds, and sweet lupins, which contain lower levels of alkaloids and are cultivated for human consumption. Sweet lupins do contain sparteine and lupinine and must be soaked in water to prevent toxicity following ingestion. These two alkaloids are also found in other genera. The toxic isoquinoline alkaloids include papaverine, sanguinarine, dihydrosanguinarine, protoverine, berberine, coptisine, protopine, and chelidonine."

The way one must imbibe it is very unique among potions, in that a gobletful of wolfsbane potion must be taken for each day of a week preceding the full moon. It is extremely difficult to make, as Slughorn believed that even Damocles couldn't have invented it without immense effort on his part. The ingredients are also very expensive, making it nigh-impossible for werewolves to brew it themselves, as they usually live in poverty due to their difficulty in finding stable careers.

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Grow Lupine By Sarah Terry; Updated September 21, 2017Lupine plants (Lupinus spp.) are herbaceous perennials that produce long spike clusters of tiny flowers. The flowers come in a wide range of colors and bloom throughout summer. Lupines grow up to 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide with horizontal leaves and 1- to 4-foot-tall flower spikes that contain small blossoms that resemble those of pea plants. The lupine grows wild throughout most of the colder regions of the United States and prefers to grow in climates where summer nights are cooler. Lupine plants are short-lived and grow best in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 7, where winter temperatures can dip down to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Select a planting site for lupine that’s in full to partial sunlight and has cool, moist soil. If you live in a climate with hotter summers, choose a location that will stay cooler and is in partial shade. Prepare the planting site by loosening the soil to a depth of 12 to 20 inches to accommodate the lupine plant's long taproots. You can use a rototiller, tilling fork or pitchfork to loosen the soil bed."

Its relationship with other macaws in the genus Ara is uncertain, but it may have been closely related to the scarlet macaw, which has some similarities in appearance. It may also have been closely related, or identical, to the hypothetical Jamaican red macaw. No modern skeletons are known, but a few subfossil remains have been found on Cuba. At about 45–50 centimetres (18–20 in) long, the Cuban macaw was one of the smallest macaws. It had a red, orange, yellow, and white head, and a red, orange, green, brown, and blue body. Little is known of its behaviour, but it is reported to have nested in hollow trees, lived in pairs or families, and fed on seeds and fruits."

Simply walking into a pet shop and getting any bird that looks nice is not a clever way to go about. Some types of pet birds will for instance live for 50 years or more – are you ready for that type of commitment? Other types of pet birds are incredibly noisy (or adorably chatty, if you are the right person for such a bird) and can disturb their keeper as well as any neighbours. Some birds grow really big and require expensive cages or even aviaries, while others are so clever that they succumb to depression and lethargy in a boring household where they aren’t given any intricate puzzles to solve. There are also birds that must be kept in pairs or groups, especially if you plan on ever leaving them home alone. These are just a few things that you have to take into account when choosing a pet bird.

Two of the most commonly kept pet true finches are Zebra finch ( Poephila guttata) and Society finch ( Lonchura domestica ). The House finch ( Carpodacus mexicanus) also has a history of being kept as a pet and the populations found in Eastern and Midwestern United States hail from released and escaped pet finches."

The six year coconut tree, which produces fruit in about six years, is slower growing and is less common. You can easily distinguish between the two, as the three year coconut tree does not have a bulb at the base of the trunk, which is characteristic of the six year coconut tree. The three year coconut tree leaves are more uniform in shape, being as slender at the base of the leaf, up to about four to five inches from the tapering tip. The six year coconut tree however has a more larger leaf at the bottom, and tapers slightly through the leaf up until the tip. There are definate differences of varieties in the six year, and three year trees. Also, there are two different colors of coconuts. There is the green variety and then there is the red/orange type.

Balancing a parrot's diet from the beginning may prevent many health and behavior problems. But it's never too late to get your pet bird on a firm nutritional footing. It is something you will want to do since an unbalanced diet is a main cause of disease and early death in pet birds. Malnutrition is a human-made disease. Fortunately, it is also preventable. Dietary differences among birds When feeding pet birds, we must realize that the species of birds we have as companion pets do not all have the same dietary needs. Just as our North American wild birds such as chickadees, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds do not eat the same foods, neither do our companion birds. In general, parrots can be classified according to their normal diets."

Thinkstock Monkeys Hunting and habitat loss are two reasons Spider monkeys in Central America are disappearing. Spider monkeys require large areas of forest for a healthy habitat and have been subject to population decline due to deforestation in areas of Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and Belize.

The wildlife that can be found on Cuba is also known for being benign, as Cuba has no known harmful animals inhabitants and visitors must watch out for. Even the sharks that take refuge in the reefs off the coast enjoy swimming alongside others. Although Cuba does not have any large predators to boast of, the island is home to some spectacular and unique small creatures that make Cuba an incomparable environment. You can find a variety of wildlife on Cuba due to its diverse terrain. Cuba is part of the Cuba-Cayman Islands Freshwater ecoregion and is also known as a Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot. Different animals find sanctuary in the island’s different terrestrial ecoregions: the Cuban Moist Forests, the Cuban Cactus Scrub and the Cuban Pine Forests. Human Impact on Habitats Although humans first appeared in the Caribbean Basin around 4000 years ago, it has only been in the last 500 years that consequential environmental degradation has transpired. The significant environmental changes occurred after the European’s arrival in Hispaniola in 1492, after which significant forest clearing became common with the proliferation of sugar cane plantations. Human settlers also threatened the Caribbean’s natural biodiversity with the introduction of nonnative species."

Species Description and Range The largest species of macaw, the brilliant-blue hyacinth grows to be up to 40 inches (1 m) long. The hyacinth macaw survives today in three known distinct population in southern Brazil, eastern Bolivia and northeastern Paraguay. It is possible that smaller, fragmented populations occur in other areas of its range. Although it is difficult to estimate, some people believe there were more than 100,000 hyacinth macaws before the arrival of Amerindians in South America. In 1990, the wild population was estimated to be 2,500 birds. The world’s captive population is probably much larger, numbering in the thousands.

The Scarlet Macaw is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics, from Central America and South America, including eastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, Amazonian Peru and Brazil. The Scarlet Macaw resides in lowlands up to 500 metres (formerly up to 1000 metres). The Scarlet Macaws usual habitats are the emergent layers and canopy layers of the rainforest. Scarlet Macaws Characteristics The Scarlet Macaw is about 81 to 96 centimetres (32 to 36 inches) long, of which more than half is the pointed, graduated tail typical of macaws. Their average weight is about one kilogram (2 to 2.5 pounds). Their plumage is mostly scarlet, but the rump and tail-covert feathers are light blue. Their greater upper wing coverts are yellow, the upper sides of the flight feathers of the wings are dark blue as are the ends of the tail feathers and the undersides of the wing and tail flight feathers are dark red with metallic gold iridescence.

"text": "\"A balance sheet is a snapshot of a business's financial condition at a specific moment in time, usually at the close of an accounting period. A balance sheet comprises assets, liabilities, and owners' or stockholders' equity. Assets and liabilities are divided into short- and long-term obligations including cash accounts such as checking, money market, or government securities. At any given time, assets must equal liabilities plus owners' equity. An asset is anything the business owns that has monetary value. Liabilities are the claims of creditors against the assets of the business. What is a balance sheet used for? A balance sheet helps a small-business owner quickly get a handle on the financial strength and capabilities of the business. Is the business in a position to expand?

"text": "Reducing Balance Method of Depreciation: Definition and Explanation: Under reducing balance method, the depreciation is charged at a fixed rate like straight line method (also known as fixed installment method). But the rate percent is not calculated on cost of asset as is done under fixed installment method - it is calculated on the book value of asset. The book value of an asset is obtained by deducting depreciation from its cost. The book value of asset gradually reduces on account of charging depreciation. Since the depreciation rate per cent is applied on reducing balance of asset, this method is called reducing balance method or diminishing balance method. The calculation of depreciation under this method will be clear from the following example. Example: Suppose the cost of asset is $1,000 and rate of depreciation 10% p.a. Cost of asset 1,000Depreciation:1st year: 10% of 1,000 100Book value 9002nd year: 10% of 900 90Book value 8103rd year: 10% of 810 81Book value 729and so on....... Under fixed installment method the amount of annual depreciation remains the same but under reducing balance method the amount of annual depreciation gradually reduces. This method is especially suitable to assets with long life, e.g., plant and machinery, furniture, motor car etc. Under this method the real cost of using an asset is the depreciation and repair expenses so this method gives better results because in early years when repair expenses are less the depreciation is more."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is 'Impairment'Impairment is an accounting principle that describes a permanent reduction in the value of a company's asset, normally a fixed asset. When testing for impairment, the total profit, cash flow, or other benefit that's expected to be generated by a specific asset is periodically compared with that same asset's book value. If it's found that the book value of the asset exceeds the cash flow or benefit of the asset, the difference between the two is written off and the value of the asset declines on the company's balance sheet. Next Up Impaired Asset Impaired Capital Impaired Credit Goodwill Impairment BREAKING DOWN 'Impairment'Impairment is specifically used to describe a reduction in the recoverable amount of a fixed asset below its book value. Impairment normally occurs when there is a sudden and large decline in the fair value of an asset below its carrying amount, or the amount recorded on a company's balance sheet. An accountant tests assets for impairment periodically; if any impairment exists, the accountant writes off the difference in the fair value and the book value. Fair value is normally derived as the sum of an asset's undiscounted expected future cash flows plus the expected salvage value. Accounts that are likely to be written down are the company's goodwill, accounts receivable, and long-term assets because the carrying value has a longer span of time for impairment. Assets, such as machinery and equipment, depreciate in value over time. This depreciation is distributed over the asset's entire lifetime using methods such as the straight line depreciation method and the declining-balance method."

"text": "Accumulated depreciation August 10, 2017Accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation for a fixed asset that has been charged to expense since that asset was acquired and made available for use. The accumulated depreciation account is an asset account with a credit balance (also known as a contra asset account); this means that it appears on the balance sheet as a reduction from the gross amount of fixed assets reported. The amount of accumulated depreciation for an asset will increase over time, as depreciation continues to be charged against the asset. The original cost of the asset is known as its gross cost, while the original cost of the asset less the amount of accumulated depreciation and any impairment is known as its net cost or carrying amount. The balance in the accumulated depreciation account will increase more quickly if a business uses an accelerated depreciation methodology, since doing so charges more of an asset's cost to expense during its earlier years of usage. When the asset is eventually retired or sold, the amount in the accumulated depreciation account relating to that asset is reversed, as is the original cost of the asset, thereby eliminating all record of the asset from the company's balance sheet. If this derecognition were not completed, a company would gradually build up a large amount of gross fixed asset cost and accumulated depreciation on its balance sheet. Calculating accumulated depreciation is a simple matter of running the depreciation calculation for a fixed asset from its acquisition date to its disposition date. However, it is useful to spot-check the calculation of the depreciation amounts that were recorded in the general ledger over the life of the asset, to ensure that the same calculations were used to record the underlying depreciation transaction. For example, ABC International buys a machine for $100,000, which it records in the Machinery fixed asset account."

Depreciation expense spreads the cost of major equipment and assets over a period of time that spans a number of years. Amortization is used to allocate the cost of intangible assets, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and franchises. Depletion is used to record the cost of natural resources extracted from the earth. There are three main events in the life of any asset:acquisitionuseful lifedisposal or retirement We will make journal entries for each of these events. Over the useful life we will enter depreciation expense. At the end of the life we will record any gain or loss at the time of disposal or retirement of the asset. Sometimes assets are traded for other assets, and that must be accounted for in the same manner as a disposal or retirement.

Interpreting the reports, keeping good records, crunching numbers – it’s all a part of the day-to-day routine of an accountant. As a business owner, it’s important to understand accounting basics to ensure you are doing the best you can do for your company. An operating business will have assets, and these assets can be current or fixed. Current assets include cash, inventory and accounts receivable. Fixed assets include the equipment you use to run the show. The items and materials that make up the fixed assets category often incur something called value depreciation. Calculating the company expense of an asset’s lost value is the concept we’ll discuss in the scope of this article. Before getting started, try the course financial accounting basics to get familiar with financial terms and concepts.

The concept dates back to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) studies of Simon Kuznets of capital formation in the 1930s, and standard measures for it were adopted in the 1950s. Statistically it measures the value of acquisitions of new or existing fixed assets by the business sector, governments and \"\"pure\"\" households (excluding their unincorporated enterprises) less disposals of fixed assets. GFCF is a component of the expenditure on gross domestic product (GDP), and thus shows something about how much of the new value added in the economy is invested rather than consumed. GFCF is called \"\"gross\"\" because the measure does not make any adjustments to deduct the consumption of fixed capital ( depreciation of fixed assets) from the investment figures. For the analysis of the development of the productive capital stock, it is important to measure the value of the acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets beyond replacement for obsolescence of existing assets due to normal wear and tear. \"\" Net fixed investment\"\" includes the depreciation of existing assets from the figures for new fixed investment, and is called net fixed capital formation. [ 1]GFCF is not a measure of total investment, because only the value of net additions to fixed assets is measured, and all kinds of financial assets are excluded, as well as stocks of inventories and other operating costs (the latter included in intermediate consumption ). If, for example, one examines a company balance sheet, it is easy to see that fixed assets are only one component of the total annual capital outlay. The most important exclusion from GFCF is land sales and purchases."

"text": "\"Asset Accounting (User's Guide)In this section I cover the basic principles of asset accounting and the SAP subledger FI-AA from the users perspective, the more asset-intensive an enterprise is the more significant the FI-AA component is, tangible fixed assets are managed not only on the basis of their physical location but also on their value. In addition to local accounting principles complex fixed assets are frequently valuated in accordance with IFRS or U. S. GAAP, in this context the depreciation posting run and its parallel valuation is a main feature within asset accounting. I have a whole section on asset accounting in my FI configuration and setup section. Fixed assets can be divided into tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets and financial assets Tangible fixed assets are complex fixed assets such as buildings, machines, etc that are at the long-term disposal of an enterprise Intangible fixed assets are assets such as patents, licenses, software, etc Financial assets are shares in other enterprises, long-term securities, long-term loans and mortgage claims Traditional asset accounting encompasses the complete history of the asset, from purchase order or initial acquisition (possibly managed as an \"\"asset under construction\"\" (Au C)) through to retirement. The system will calculate the values for depreciation, insurance and other purposes between two points in time and then make these values available in many different forms in the Asset Accounting Information System (AAIS), in addition an evaluation facilitates depreciation forecasting and the simulated development of asset values. The FI-AA component does not have any country specific valuation rules hard coded, which helps with the depreciation of an asset, at present parallel valuation approaches in accordance with local and international depreciation regulations are the normal, the capitalization criteria for an asset in accordance with local regulations and with international accounting standards largely correspond to each other, this means that apart from some minor exceptions for intangible assets there are no relevant (practical) differences between capitalization prerequisites of both. FI-AA component FI-AA (Asset Accounting) is used to manage and monitor tangible fixed assets with the system, data can be transferred with other components within the SAP system for example it is possible to assign the invoice receipt and goods receipt in the material management (MM) module directly to the assets in the FI-AA component, also depreciation and interest can be transferred directly to financial accounting (FI) and cost accounting (CO). Like accounts payable and receivable asset accounting is also treated as a subledger of financial accounting, however to cover all legal and accounting requirements it is necessary to define some organizational elements. We will start with the chart of accounts and the chart of depreciation, the chart of depreciation summarizes the valuations permitted for each depreciation area (local law, tax depreciation, IAS, etc), it basically describes the purpose of the calculation, and as thus it is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. The assignment of a company code to a chart of depreciation is independent of its assignment to a chart of accounts."

Understand the rationale for assigning the cost of these operating assets to expense over time if the item has a finite life. Recognize that these assets are normally reported on the balance sheet at net book value, which is their cost less accumulated depreciation.

"text": "\"Depreciation Depreciation in relation to accountancy means; \"\"Calculating the decreased value\"\" of some of the Fixed assets. The reason why the value of some of the Fixed Assets like tools and machinery decreases is that they get worn out by being used. Example When the production company \"\"Kafue Company\"\" in year 2005 bought their first Big Machine, the price was 20.000 $. It was used until the end of 2010 when a new one was bought. When the old Big Machine was sold, they only got 1.000 for it because it was worn out. This means that the Big Machine had gradually lost 19.000 in value during the five years it was making items for the company. Effect on the Financial Statement To get a true picture of the value of Fixed Assets in a company it would therefore be necessary to calculate the depreciation every year and reflect it in the Financial Statement. The depreciation will affect the value of Fixed Assets which is indicated in the Balance Statement. It will also affect the Profit and Loss Statement where the depreciation will be deducted as an expense. What to depreciate If you decide that you have to decrease the value of some of the Fixed Assets in your company, it must be larger things which represent a considerable value and which lose value by being used and/or getting old."

Depreciation is a concept used in accounting to measure the decline in an asset's value spread overthe asset's economic life. Depreciation allows for future investment that is required to replace used-upassets. In addition, the U. S. Internal Revenue Service allows a reasonable deduction fordepreciation as a business expense in determining taxable net income. This deduction is used only forproperty that generates income. For example, a building used for rent income can be depreciated, but a building used as a residence cannot be depreciated. Depreciation arises from a strong public policy in favor of investment. Income-producing assets such as machines, trucks, tools, and structures have a limited useful life—that is, they wear out and growobsolete while generating income. In effect, a taxpayer using such assets in business is graduallyselling those assets."

"text": "Basic Accounting Rules for Depreciationwritten by: Jean Scheid •edited by: Ronda Bowen •updated: 5/21/2011Confused about depreciation on fixed assets? Depreciation is simply the calculation of wear and tear on assets and is reported annually on your financial statements and utilized as a business expense when submitting tax returns. Learn the most common methods used here. About This Business Expense Depreciation is the reduction in the book value of an asset due to usage over a period of time. In other words, it is the reduction in the economic usefulness of the asset, or the calculation of wear and tear that may have occurred to the asset. This is also done to report the actual value to tax authorities. The present value of the asset, i.e., after deducting the depreciation amount, is then recorded in the accounting books. To calculate, one needs to take into account the economic life and the expected value or scrap value of the asset after its use in the business is over. The calculation is a non-cash expense that is estimated or forecasted. This process occurs at the end of the financial year and the amount is shown in both the balance sheet and the income and loss statement."

It is one of the two Sino-Tibetan languages and features much internal diversity. There are somewhere between six and twelve regional dialects of Chinese, including Mandarin, Cantonese, and Min. These different dialects are mostly unique, although there are some common terms and structure between some of them. The standard Chinese language is Standard Mandarin, the official language of both China and Taiwan and one of the six languages used at the United Nations. Hong Kong, Macau, and some other areas speak Cantonese. Native speakers of any Chinese dialect are referred to as sinophones. In addition to the many dialects currently classified, there are a number of regional dialects that have not been studied much. These include Danzhou, Xianghua, and Shaozhu Tuhua. Another relative language is the language spoken by the Dungan people, which is similar to Mandarin."

"text": "\"simonchanart.wordpress.com The Mandarin ducks are the most popular, well known and widely used traditional feng shui cure for love. Note the word traditional, or classical feng shui, which means that a cure is based on culturally specific images, symbols, and overall historical use. Does that mean that you should use the Mandarin ducks as a feng shui cure if you are looking to attract a love partner? It depends on you. The best answer is this: \"\"Choose the Mandarin ducks as a feng shui cure to attract love only if you genuinely, completely and absolutely feel the energy of love and devotion when you look at them.\"\" Do the Mandarin ducks speak to you of love? Or a happy marriage? Be honest with yourself when you choose feng shui cures for your home, because you are the one to benefit (or not) from your honesty and intelligent feng shui work. Because feng shui is considered to have originated in China, most of the classical feng shui cures -- including the use of Mandarin ducks -- have their roots in Chinese folklore. If you grew up in China or Japan, where the Mandarin ducks are widespread -- you most probably have heard stories about the love and devotion of Mandarin ducks."

"text": "What Is the Difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese? Posted on December 27, 2013 by Maria Fernanda RTweet Nowadays, as a result of China’s boom, our company is receiving an increasing amount of requests concerning translations into Chinese. What many people may be unaware of is that the Chinese language has two systems of written characters: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. The process that led to Simplified Chinese—with a first official version issued in 1956—took place in the second half of the 20 th century in response to a policy of the People’s Republic of China meant to make the learning of the written language more widely accessible. But, what are the differences? A Chinese character is made up of various strokes, and some characters are much more complex than others. This complexity is not only based on the number of pen strokes required but also on the way the strokes are arranged graphically. Thus, the simplified version is as its name implies, a less complex version allowing for easier reading and writing by a larger number of people who wish to learn it. These writing systems must not be confused with Mandarin or Cantonese, which are dialects of the Chinese language. Mandarin is spoken in mainland China, while in places like Guangdong province (formerly Canton in English) and Hong Kong, Cantonese is the main dialect spoken."

It is the traditional prestige variety of Yue Chinese, one of the major subdivisions of Chinese language. In mainland China, it is the lingua franca of the province of Guangdong, being the majority language of the Pearl River Delta, and neighbouring areas such as Guangxi.

"text": "\"17:16 May 10, 2011English to English translations [PRO] Linguistics / Types of Chinese English term or phrase: Simplified & Traditional = Mandarin? Cantonese? I am trying to understand the following: Is Simplified Chinese the same as \"\"Mandarin\"\" OR \"\"Cantonese? \"\" Ernesto Contenti Local time: 15:53English translation: neither Explanation: The answer is neither (no matter how you look at it). This is something that non-Chinese speakers are often very confused about. Let me try to explain this: simplified & traditional refers to the script. The situation is analogous to the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, both of which can be used for writing Serbian. Mandarin and Cantonese are the actual dialects (or languages, depending on your definition). The difference can be likened to that between British and American English but greater. Some generalizations can nevertheless be made, though, as with all generalizations, they are not always true: – If something is written in simplified, it is most probably Mandarin, and most probably Mandarin as spoken in mainland China – If something is written in traditional, it could be either Mandarin or Cantonese, though Mandarin is more likely, since standard written Chinese is actually Mandarin in written form – Cantonese is considered a colloquial language and is not supposed to be written down."

Many Chinese restaurants offer a number of regional cuisines on the same menu, so it is not that easy to distinguish the difference when all dishes are equally delicious. Here is a quick primer on the most prevalent Chinese cuisines found in America. Canton Cuisine Cantonese cuisine originated from the areas of Guangdong Province and Hong Kong in southern China. Canton is an old port city that today is referred to as Guangzhou. Dim sum meaning touch the heart, the Chinese meal of small tidbits of food presented on roving carts, began in this region.

"text": "Strictly speaking, Mandarin is not a language. Instead, it is a collection of languages or a language consisting of many different forms. There are three major forms of mandarin, based on the criterion whether speaker of one form could understand another form without exposing himself/herself to the other form before. 1, Northern Mandarin ( can be subdivided into northeastern, northwestern and some other varieties) 2, South Eastern Mandarin 3, South Western Mandarin The boundaries among those three are blurry. Sometimes they are referred as dialects of one single language. Sometimes they are treated as separate languages because a lot of pronunciations are different in that study time is required. That is why I chose to say it in the neutral word 'form'. What most people outside of China refer as Mandarin is the northern Mandarin. More specifically, it refers to the Northeastern dialect of Northern mandarin. Even being more specific, it mostly refers to the dialect spoken in Beijing, which is treated as the de facto official language of China."

"text": "\"Difference Between Clementine and Mandarin Posted on November 6, 2015 by admin Key Difference – Clementine vs Mandarin Mandarin and clementine both belong to the family of oranges, and they are more difficult to distinguish from each other because they look similar to each other; however there is a distinct difference between these two varieties in spite of their many similarities. Nutritionally, all oranges are similar and rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and dietary fiber. Both clementine and mandarin oranges provide trace amounts of iron, magnesium, calcium, folic acid and vitamin E. The key difference between mandarin and clementine are the size and the sterility of the fruit. Clementine is a hybrid variety. It is a seedless orange and small in size compared to mandarin. Mandarin is also rich in vitamin A compared to clementine. The purpose of this article is to highlight the difference between clementine and mandarin. What is Mandarin? Mandarin A mandarin ( Citrus reticulata) orange is somewhat smaller comparative to the standard orange. It is a small citrus tree which is originated in China where over 12 million tons of mandarin is harvested each year."

Chinese is a term that refers to a common language spoken in China. Mandarin is a form of Chinese language. One cannot come across many differences between Chinese and Mandarin. When talking about the Chinese language, there is no such language as Chinese. It is the non-Chinese people who refer to all dialects used in China as Chinese, but for the Chinese people, they have different dialects, and the most common one is the Mandarin dialect and the Cantonese. The spoken Chinese and the written Chinese are different. Though there are many regional Chinese varieties, they are all considered to be a single Chinese language for political and social reasons.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Mandarin oranges)navigation search For the fruit, see Mandarin orange (fruit). It has been suggested that Mandarin orange (fruit) be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since March 2018. Mandarin orange Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Clade: Rosids Order: Sapindales Family: Rutaceae Genus: Citrus Species: C. reticulata Binomial name Citrus reticulata Blanco, 1837The mandarin orange ( Citrus reticulata; Chinese: 橘子 or 桔子; pinyin: júzi; Yue Chinese: 桔, jyutping: gat 1 ), also known as the mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree with fruit resembling other oranges, usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. Specifically reddish-orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as tangerines, but this is not a botanical classification. Mandarins are smaller and oblate, rather than spherical like the common oranges (which are a mandarin hybrid ). The taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger. [ 1] A ripe mandarin is firm to slightly soft, heavy for its size, and pebbly-skinned. The peel is very thin, with very little bitter white mesocarp, [2] so they are usually easier to peel and to split into segments. Hybrids generally have these traits to a lesser degree."

"text": "Health Benefits of Mandarin Oranges (incl. Tangerines and Clementines)Mandarins are rich in flavonoids, vitamin C, and beta-cryptoxanthin. What are the health benefits associated with eating mandarin oranges? How many times have you asked yourself that question when pushing your cart through the citrus fruit aisle of your local grocery store? The purpose of this article is to review some of the most interesting health benefits of mandarin oranges. The most common varieties (sub-species) of mandarin oranges are tangerines — which according to some are a closely related species rather than a sub-species — and clementines. The mandarin orange ( Citrus reticulata) resembles the common orange in shape but is smaller in size. Despite the similarities in their appearance, mandarin oranges and common oranges have distinct nutrient profiles, although there are also some similarities in this respect. The dominant flavonoids in mandarin oranges include tangeritin, hesperidin, and narirutin. Mandarins also contain plenty of vitamin C and beta-cryptoxanthin (a nutrient related to beta-carotene)."

"text": "4. TOXICITY PROBLEMS4.1 SPECIFIC IONS AND THEIR EFFECTSA toxicity problem is different from a salinity problem in that it occurs within the plant itself and is not caused by a water short-age. Toxicity normally results when certain ions are taken up with the soil-water and accumulate in the leaves during water transpiration to an extent that results in damage to the plant. The degree of damage depends upon time, concentration, crop sensitivity and crop water use, and if damage is severe enough, crop yield is reduced. The usual toxic ions in irrigation water are chloride, sodium and boron. Damage can be caused by each, individually or in combination. Not all crops are equally sensitive to these toxic ions. Most annual crops are not sensitive at the concentrations shown in Table 1 but the majority of tree crops and woody perennial-type plants are. Toxicity symptoms, however, can appear on almost any crop if concentrations are high enough. Toxicity often accompanies or complicates a salinity or infiltration problem although it may appear even when salinity is low."

Growing Cycle of a Mandarin Orange Mandarin oranges (Citrus reticulata) are a group of oranges often known as tangerines that have thin skin and are easily peeled. Because of their small size and compact growth habits, dwarf mandarin orange trees readily adapt to growing indoors. Dwarf mandarin trees grow to 5 to 6 feet tall at maturity, depending on the container size and nutrition. Able to grow outdoors in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 11, mandarin oranges can be grown indoors anywhere that has enough light and moderate temperatures. Ideal Growing Conditions Ideal indoor growing conditions for Mandarin oranges include a roomy pot filled with rich, well-drained soil. Peat moss, sand and vermiculite in equal portions make a nice loose potting mix for Mandarin oranges. A sunny location is best and grow lights can be used to provide light to unexposed areas. Rotating the plant regularly also helps provide even light to all sides. Tree Care Indoors Plenty of water is important for Mandarin orange trees, but they will not tolerate wet roots."

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone Updated 01/25/18Share Pin Email Lilyana Vinogradova / Getty Images Mandarin oranges, sometimes simply called mandarins, are some of the sweetest fruits of the orange family. A mandarin orange is a slightly smaller relative of the standard orange. If it was not for the mandarin, you would not have standard oranges. Standard oranges are 75 percent mandarin orange and 25 percent pomelo. Mandarins can be separated into segments and used in salads, vegetables, main dishes, and desserts. Easy to peel, serve, and eat fresh; Mandarins are commonly canned and preserved in a light sugary syrup, too.

The male's breast is purple with two vertical white bars, and the flanks ruddy, and he has two orange \"\"sails\"\" at the back (large feathers that stick up like boat sails). The female is similar to the female wood duck, with a white eye-ring and stripe running back from the eye, but is paler below, has a small white flank stripe, and a pale tip to its bill. [ 3]Both the males and females have crests, but the purple crest is more pronounced on the male. Like many other species of ducks, the male undergoes a moult after the mating season into eclipse plumage. When in eclipse plumage, the male looks similar to the female, but can be told apart by its bright yellow-orange or red beak, lack of any crest, and a less-pronounced eye-stripe."

Nutritionally, all oranges are similar and rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and dietary fiber. Both clementine and mandarin oranges provide trace amounts of iron, magnesium, calcium, folic acid and vitamin E. The key difference between mandarin and clementine are the size and the sterility of the fruit. Clementine is a hybrid variety. It is a seedless orange and small in size compared to mandarin. Mandarin is also rich in vitamin A compared to clementine. The purpose of this article is to highlight the difference between clementine and mandarin. What is Mandarin? Mandarin A mandarin ( Citrus reticulata) orange is somewhat smaller comparative to the standard orange. It is a small citrus tree which is originated in China where over 12 million tons of mandarin is harvested each year."

But the plant is not a true hybrid. There are plenty of other combination fruit-vegetables that do exist, though, and are available in stores now.1. Pluot More from mental floss studios An unanticipated problem was encountered, check back soon and try again Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_UNKNOWNSession ID: 2018-04-11:a9962f728e30e67fd3d3b2 Player Element ID: my Player IDOKThinkstock Plums and apricots both come from the same genus— Prunus— which made crossing the two fruits relatively easy for Floyd Zaiger, a Nebraskan biologist noted for his work in fruit genetics. The pluot now has a number of different varieties, and in the 13 years since it was created it has become relatively popular amongst fruit eaters.2. Plumcot Wikimedia Commons Zaiger wasn’t the first person to create a plum-apricot hybrid, though. Luther Burbank, a fruit producer and plant nursery owner, managed to cross the two fruits more than a century ago. The problem was that, back then, plant genetics were less advanced than they are today, and Burbank’s plumcots weren’t as hardy as they needed to be to endure the cross-country shipping that fresh produce endures before it reaches our tables and plates. Zaiger owes a debt of gratitude to Luther Burbank, however, for showing him the way.3. Rangpur Wikimedia Commons The fruit with the closest taste and consistency to a rangpur is a lime—and in fact its binomial name (the name assigned to species) is Citrus limonia."

As an added bonus, avocado consumption has been associated with improved overall diet quality as the fruit provides more than 20 different vitamin, minerals and antioxidants. And one fifth of an avocado, (2-3 slices or 1 oz) contains just 50 calories. HOW TO ENJOY: Dip veggies in delicious guacamole, use sliced avocados as a scrumptious salad topper, mash with tuna or hard-boiled eggs for a non-traditional tuna or egg salad.

Because your body needs nutrients to keep you going. That’s why I love meal replacement smoothies. They’re a quick way to get in nutrients, and a smoothie with the right ingredients can fill you up and act as a stand-in for a real meal. Plus, there are tons of flavor combinations, which helps prevent boredom and falling into the “same-old-same-old” rut. Ideally your meal replacement smoothie should have both protein and fiber, which work to keep you full and satisfied, among other health benefits. You can also sneak in leafy greens and fruit to add antioxidants and boost the nutrition of your smoothie."

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and marigolds (Tagetes spp.) are known for their insect repellent properties, making them natural companion plants around vegetable gardens or in large containers around patios and decks. Rosemary is an herb typically in upright shrub form, but there are some cascading or trailing varieties. Marigolds are perhaps best known as annual flowers, but there are several perennial species, such as Mexican marigold (Tagetes lemmonii), and many annuals can be grown as perennials in areas without frost. The way you choose to plant rosemary with marigolds depends on the growth habits of the species you plant. Flower Bed1Choose a location for the marigolds and rosemary in full sun with at least six hours of sunshine daily. These sunny conditions are important for best plant growth whether you plan to plant in the ground or in containers.2Amend the soil as needed to provide fertile, well-drained soil for the plants. Marigolds typically prefer loam while rosemary plants prefer a sandier soil with better drainage.

There are concerns about the potential toxic effects of DEET, especially when used by children. Children who absorb high amounts of DEET through insect repellents have developed seizures, slurred speech, hypotension and bradycardia. There are new DEET-free mosquito repellents on the market today which offer some relief to those venturing outdoors in mosquito season. But there are also certain plants which are easy to grow and will have some effect in repelling mosquitoes from areas of your home and garden. Here are five of the most effective mosquito repelling plants which are easy to grow in most regions of the US:1. Citronella Citronella is the most common natural ingredient used in formulating mosquito repellents. The distinctive citronella aroma is a strong smell which masks other attractants to mosquitoes, making it harder for them to find you. Although citronella is used in many forms, such as scented candles, torches and citronella ‘scented’ plants, the living plant is more effective because it has a stronger smell."

That's because some of them are annual plants and some are perennial plants. Annual plants are plants with a life cycle that lasts only one year. They grow from seed, bloom, produce seeds, and die in one growing season. They then need to be replanted each spring. Most annuals bloom for a long time. They provide beautiful colors from spring through fall and are popular with flower gardeners. Some favorite annuals are petunias, marigolds, and zinnias.

Those with coastal landscapes will want to look for plants that can tolerate high winds and at least some level of salt (be it from sea spray or irrigation from wells that contain high levels of salt). After you've taken into account your site conditions, think about colors and forms of the plants. Limit the varieties and colors you choose to create a cohesive look and prevent visual confusion. Annuals Annuals are plants that will last one season, and there are lots of warm-season annuals that you can use to bring color into your garden as the temperature rises.

"text": "Marigolds, in bright colors of yellow, orange and red, can provide interest to your home gardening space, thriving in a variety of places from pots to flower beds. Marigolds are susceptible to a number of problems that leave them wilted. Give marigolds the care they need and examine your plants regularly to catch problems early before they cause extreme damage. When purchasing marigolds, check to see that they are healthy and free of wilt damage. Video of the Day Preventive Care Grow healthy marigolds by providing the consistent care they need. Healthy marigolds fare much better in terms of avoiding and recuperating from disease than unhealthy plants. Place marigolds in areas of your landscape that provide full sunlight, as light exposure promotes good growth and color development. Grow marigold plants in moist, well-drained soil with a substantial amount of organic content like pine bark. Both as annuals and perennials, these flowering plants are fond of irrigation, so check soil regularly and water to maintain moist conditions. Avoid overhead irrigation, which encourages fungal disease and weighs plants down."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers Frost & Flowers By Barbara Fahs; Updated September 21, 2017Most annual flowers will die when fall brings frost. Marigolds, zinnias, petunias, delphinium and many other common flowering plants are examples of plants that frost will kill. In more northerly climate zones, it’s difficult to get anything to bloom in the harsh winter months. However, you can bring potted perennial flowering plants indoors—this can keep them alive throughout the winter and give you a head start on springtime blooming. Summer Annuals That Frost Will Kill Summer blooming annuals have a short lifespan—depending on the dates of your final spring frost and your first fall frost, you can expect most of them to live for only about six months. Examples of flowering annuals that frost will kill include all types of zinnias, plume celosia, impatiens, lantana, begonias, verbena and coleus. Hardy and Semi-Hardy Annuals Will Survive Some of the hardy flowering annuals that homeowners commonly plant include pansies, alyssum, cornflower, dianthus, Dusty Miller, larkspur, calendula and snapdragons. Although they have a short lifespan, they will survive farther into the winter than the frost tender annuals. Semi-hardy annuals, such as petunia, carnation, cosmos, gazania, phlox and many salvias will continue to live until the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit for prolonged periods of time. Nonhardy Perennials That Frost Will Kill Geraniums and chrysanthemums are favorite bedding plants for home landscapes, but they are not tolerant of frost and will die back when cold weather hits."

No annual is completely rabbit-proof because rabbits will feed on plants they once ignored if their food source becomes scarce. However, several species of annual plants are typically resistant to rabbits, which will pass up the flowers for a more tasty choice. Sun-Loving Wormwood (Artemisia) -- also known as sagebrush and mugwort -- has aromatic silvery-green ferny foliage that has culinary uses. This herbaceous perennial grows as an annual in full sun and is resistant to rabbits and deer. Wormwood produces unimpressive blooms in summer to fall and is generally grown for its fragrant, attractive foliage. Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is a short-lived tender perennial that's also grown as an annual in sunny areas. Snapdragons produce tubular flowers with a dragon shape. These cheery blooms come in an array of hues such as pink, peach, yellow, purple, orange, white, red and bicolors. They grow from 1 to 3 feet tall and resist deer as well as rabbits."

"text": "Related Articles What Is the Difference Between Annuals & Perennials? Do Annuals or Perennials Come Back Every Year? The Best Self-Seeding Annuals Types of Flowers That Come Back Each Year Lazy gardeners might plant perennials in every part of the garden, but others prefer to add a smattering of annuals for season-long bloom. The difference between the two depends strictly on the primitive need to reproduce and create a new generation of plants identical to their parents. This need makes annuals overachievers -- to the garden’s benefit. Annual Flower Facts An annual flower is an angiosperm -- flowering plant -- that completes its entire life in one growing season. Typically, annuals fade after successfully setting and ripening seed, but when flowers are removed before pollination occurs, as in a cutting garden, the plant produces more and more blooms until it sets viable seed or the plant is killed by frost. Annuals grow in any U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone that has enough frost-free weather to mature and bloom. Hardy annuals can survive through light frosts, but tender and half-hardy annuals die with frost in the low 30s or a hard freeze below 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The Plants Many of the garden’s most colorful flowers are annuals that explode with color on fast-growing plants."

Michigan had over 124,000 registered medical marijuana users as of December. Legally, they will only be able to grow their own marijuana or have it grown for them by one of the nearly 26,000 caregivers licensed by the state. The Supreme Court upheld a decision by the Michigan Court of Appeals after hearing arguments in October. The case involving Mt. Pleasant dispensary Compassionate Apothecary considered the legality of commercial transfers of medical marijuana between patients, and the tribunal of three judges determined those transfers were illegal under the Medical Marijuana Act. The ruling allowed prosecutors to shut down dispensaries found selling marijuana, though some communities had chosen to wait for the Supreme Court decision before taking action, according to the Associated Press. Compassionate Apothecary was shut down as a public nuisance. Back in 2008, Michigan became the 13th state to legalize medical marijuana use. The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act gave patients suffering from diseases like HIV, glaucoma and cancer the ability to use marijuana for medical relief if they received a prescription from a doctor. Even though voters approved the use of medical marijuana for ailing residents, users and activists faced several legal challenges."

( Andy Nelson, The Register-Guard)Comment By Jackie Borchardt, [email protected] COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Ohio's medical marijuana law takes effect Sept. 8, people can possess and use the drug without going to jail. But the new law doesn't specify where people can get marijuana. Lawmakers have said that until the state's dispensaries are set up, residents can travel to Michigan or another legal state and bring marijuana back. But legal experts say doing so would violate state and federal laws, as well as a key provision of the federal government's hands-off approach to regulating state medical marijuana programs. So most people will likely buy marijuana through Ohio's existing black market. Here's why. Previous coverage: Ohio legalized medical marijuana Strings attached The law establishes an \"\"affirmative defense\"\" against prosecution for possessing marijuana and paraphernalia that would be legal under the law. That defense expires 60 days after the state begins accepting applications for patient registry identification cards, which is another several months away. Until then, the defense applies only if the patient's physician has certified, in writing, the following: That the patient has been diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition That the physician has gone over the risks and benefits to using medical marijuana."

A patient can purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana from a state-licensed dispensary every 2 weeks and posses up to 2.5 ounces at any time. Under certain qualifications , a patient can grow up to 12 marijuana plants or find a care giver to grow for them.

Federal minimum sentencing for cultivating over 99 or 999 marijuana plants still apply. Consult a knowledgeable attorney before embarking on a career or investment in the marijuana industry. The risk is caused by the differences between federal and state laws. The gray area between the federal and state law is what creates the opportunity for entrepreneurs willing to accept the risk in an industry considered too risky for conventional big businesses. While memos on federal policy for states with medical marijuana laws are released under one administration, those policy guidelines are not law and are subject to change under another administration.

Cannabis, following a long and troubled past with prohibition, is finally starting to be legalized in small pockets around the country through a variety of voter and government actions. While the federal government is still holding fast to all-out illegalization, states around the country are chipping away at marijuana laws to the benefit of local economies and even law enforcement professionals. Thus far, Colorado and Washington are the only two states to have passed voter initiatives fully legalizing marijuana for recreational use. While there are still some caveats to the law, the benefits have been immense. Colorado has been raking in huge tax revenues since sales first started around the beginning of the year, and Washington, although lagging behind in the implementation of retail sales, is set to keep up. Both of these states had robust medical marijuana industries prior to full legalization, making the transition a bit easier for citizens. While the industries and laws vary from state to state, the basic premise of medical marijuana dispensaries, along with collective gardens and the donation system, work generally the same. It’s through these systems of collective gardens and donations that medical marijuana dispensaries have been able to open up legally and thrive, serving the sick and needy of their respective constituencies. Naturally, there are those who abuse the system, using the medical loophole to simply get their hands on cannabis products for recreational use."

"text": "\"Medical Marijuana Laws by State Download article as a PDFPatients whose physicians recommend medical marijuana for certain illnesses and chronic conditions are exempt from criminal prosecution in states that have passed medical marijuana laws. A growing number of states (and the District of Columbia) have medical marijuana laws, although federal law makes no such exceptions from the current drug prohibition policy. Medical marijuana laws vary drastically in their scope and implementation, including the regulation of dispensaries. Some states only allow terminally ill patients to legally use marijuana, for example, while others are much less restrictive. For general information, including how these laws interact with federal law, see the medical marijuana laws page in Find Law's Criminal Law section. The following state-specific guide should help you get up to speed on current medical marijuana laws: Alaska Ballot Measure #8 passed in 1998 and was enacted in 1999. Patients whose physicians advise in writing that they \"\"might benefit from the medical use of marijuana\"\" may use, possess and cultivate marijuana for personal use. After securing a physician's recommendation, patients must apply for a Registry Identification Card for Medical Use of Marijuana (PDF) in order to be considered compliant. Illnesses: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV/AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity; and nausea (other conditions subject to state approval)Possession: 1 ounce of usable marijuana Cultivation: Six marijuana plants, only three of which may be mature Caregivers: Must be 21 or older, free from conviction of a felony controlled substance offense and must be listed by the patient as either the primary caregiver or an alternate caregiver Statute: Alaska Stat. 17.37.10 - 17.37.80Arizona Proposition 203 passed in 2010, allowing use and possession of marijuana for patients with \"\"written certification\"\" from their physician."

"text": "A medical marijuana dispensary is a location permitted to sell legal medical marijuana, or medical cannabis, so long as the buyer meets certain criteria qualifying them to use the drug strictly for medicinal purposes. Medical marijuana dispensaries are run out of a variety of locations, including residential homes, office buildings, and health-and- wellness centers. Owners of such businesses have had to go through the proper paperwork and procedures in order to become legally permitted and licensed by their regional authorities to grow and sell medical marijuana. One can become a customer at a medical marijuana dispensary — given that the region lived in has legalized them — if he or she suffers from any ailment listed by that region as acceptable to be treated with medicinal marijuana. First, though, it is necessary to consult a doctor, not only to find out what conditions may be treated with cannabis, but also to obtain a prescription. Without a doctor's prescription, a medical marijuana dispensary cannot legally sell medical weed. Once a prescription has been obtained, a doctor or pharmacist may be able to help the patient locate a nearby dispensary; there are also directories available on the Internet. The emergence of the medical marijuana dispensary is a unique part of the ongoing debate in the United States over whether marijuana should be legalized, and if so, at what levels. Although medical marijuana dispensaries are, in theory, intended to be legal conduits for the sale of medical marijuana, the legality of their existence is something of a riddle. In the United States, the practice of administering marijuana for any purpose, including medicinal ones, is still considered a federal offense."

Patients lined up outside the Alternative Therapies Group’s dispensary in Salem a day after state regulators signed off on its final paperwork. Access to the dispensary in a converted factory building that houses other businesses will be restricted to patients with a state-issued marijuana registration card. No marijuana is grown or processed at the Salem site. The company said their cultivation facility is not open to the public. On its website, Alternative Therapies Group said Department of Public Health regulations prevent dispensaries from advertising the price of marijuana. Pricing is available only to qualifying patients and personal caregivers at the dispensary facility. “Our pricing structure is aimed at providing medical-grade cannabis, grown with organic methods, in a safe environment at the lowest price,” the firm said on its website.

After pollenation has occurred, the female flower produces seeds. If there is no male plant nearby, the female marijuana plant will continue to develop its flowers without seeds. This is called sensemilla. Usually male plants are used only for breeding purposes. Growers will tend to rip out of remove the male marijuana plants to avoid the females getting the seeds as this reduces its levels of THC. The female plant is what all growers want at the end of the day and they will often clone or buy feminized marijuana seeds to make absolutely sure that pollenation does not occur. Below are several examples of the female marijuana plant flower in early development."

[ 1] It is typically a dioecious (each individual is either male or female) annual plant. [ 2] [3] [4]C. sativa and C. indica generally grow tall, with some varieties reaching 4 metres, or 13 feet. Female plants produce tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (up to 29% by weight) as the season changes from summer to autumn. C. ruderalis is very short, produces only trace amounts of THC, but is very rich in cannabidiol (CBD), which may be 40% of the cannabinoids in a plant and is an antagonist to THC, and it flowers independently of the photoperiod and according to age. [ 5] However, commercial cross-bred hybrids containing both ruderalis, indica and/or sativa genes exist (usually called autoflowering). Cultivation requirements [ edit]Cannabis needs certain conditions to flourish.

"text": "Home > Grow Marijuana > Marijuana Flowering & Light Cycles Pin It Marijuana Flowering & Light Cycles Flowering marijuana is when a female marijuana plant starts to produce buds. Although there are both male and female plants, the majority of people will be looking for female flowers, as only females produce the prized buds you eventually smoke. This section will take you through the basics of the marijuana flowering stage: from when to begin the marijuana flowering cycle; how long it will take; what marijuana light cycle to use as well as more advanced advice on nutrients. When is your marijuana plant ready for flowering? Marijuana doesn’t flower because of size or age; it’s to do with the light cycle the plant is on. When you flower your marijuana plant is entirely up to you. It is recommended that you do not start flowering until the plant has been in vegetative growth for at least 4-5 weeks and has shown pre-flowers. A good time to bring the plant into flower is when it has reached ½ the size you intend it to be as during flowering, a plant will grow 2 – 2 ½ times its vegetative size. Marijuana Flowering Timeline Depending on the type of weed you’re growing, the marijuana flowering stage can take anything from 6 weeks for a short flowering Auto strain, 7 – 10 weeks for Indica dominant strains and 10+ weeks for the Sativa dominant strains. The following guideline gives you an idea what to expect during flowering."

Growing from seed is the natural way to do it and produces a wonderful variation of buds within the same genetic range. Although growing from a female clone guarantees you a female plant, unless you change the growing environment, there is little room for variation and therefore improvement.– There are a wider range of strains available in seed than in clone, opening up your options for growing different genetics. – Cannabis seeds can be delivered anywhere in the world, so you don’t need a local medical dispensary to be able to grow. – If you intend to breed, you’re better off with cannabis seeds as they yield better results because the plants go through less stress and you can grow males! – Plants grown from seeds do not experience any of the genetic drift that you get in clones that have been taken from an old mother plant. – Cannabis Seeds produce better rooting systems which give you a stronger plant when flowering. –"

Sibling crosses draw genetic traits from both the mother and father plant, the male plays just as important a role as the female does but its rare to see male cannabis plants in full bloom and pollen collection and use is almost a mythical craft. I will do my best in this article to shed some light on the ways pollen is collected and dispersed. Before we talk about collecting pollen let’s talk about staggering. This is a trick I learned by trial and error that allows us to get the maximum number of seeds per plant. This doesn’t apply to those just working with a branch or two. When pollinating a mother plant for seed I will start her into 12/12 a full 7 days before I move the male into budding room. Keeping in mind that each strain is going to be a bit different on its time frame, this 7 day rule has worked very well for us. Once the male is flowering well the females will be entering a window around day 21-24. Most hybrids I work with are done in less than 9 weeks so 3 weeks in is good place to start."

Once this has happened the female bud will have seeds, the plant is less potent and now also full of seeds."

The study is the first to demonstrate sex differences in the development of tolerance to THC. Psychology professor Rebecca Craft showed that, thanks to their estrogen levels, female rats are at least 30 percent more sensitive than males to the pain-relieving qualities of THC -- the key active ingredient in cannabis. Females also develop tolerance to THC more quickly. These sensitivities could increase vulnerability to negative side effects like anxiety, paranoia and addiction.

"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."

[ 1] It is typically a dioecious (each individual is either male or female) annual plant. [ 2] [3] [4]C. sativa and C. indica generally grow tall, with some varieties reaching 4 metres, or 13 feet. Female plants produce tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (up to 29% by weight) as the season changes from summer to autumn. C. ruderalis is very short, produces only trace amounts of THC, but is very rich in cannabidiol (CBD), which may be 40% of the cannabinoids in a plant and is an antagonist to THC, and it flowers independently of the photoperiod and according to age. [ 5] However, commercial cross-bred hybrids containing both ruderalis, indica and/or sativa genes exist (usually called autoflowering).

Marijuana can be either male or female though in rare instances a hermaphrodite plant can occur. Both the male and female plant produce flowers and each flower has its own unique purpose. Here’s a breakdown of male vs. female marijuana plants. Female plants Photo credit Anyone who has smoked, vaped, or cooked with marijuana has probably consumed the bud of a female plant. One clear sign that a marijuana flower is a lady is the presence of distinguishing white or burnt orange hairs. These hairs are pistils, the plant’s primary female sex organ. Female marijuana plants will also be coated with a very heavy layer of resin."

The liquidity of marketable securities comes from the fact that the maturities tend to be less than one year, and that the rates at which they can be bought or sold have little effect on prices. Next Up Quick Ratio Liquid Asset Liquidity Ratios Liquidity BREAKING DOWN 'Marketable Securities'Businesses typically hold cash in their reserves to prepare them for situations in which they may need to act swiftly, such as taking advantage of an acquisition opportunity that comes up or making contingent payments. However, instead of holding on to all the cash in its coffers which presents no opportunity to earn interest, a business will invest a portion of the cash in short-term liquid securities. This way, instead of having cash sit idly, the company can earn returns on it. If a sudden need for cash emerges, the company can easily liquidate these securities. Examples of a short-term investment products are a group of assets categorized as marketable securities. Marketable securities are defined as any unrestricted financial instrument that can be bought or sold on a public stock exchange or a public bond exchange. Therefore, marketable securities are classified as either a marketable equity security or a marketable debt security. Other requirements of marketable securities include having a strong secondary market that can facilitate quick buy and sell transactions, and having a secondary market that provides accurate price quotes for investors."

Ratio Analysis Over the years, investors and analysts have developed numerous analytical tools, concepts and techniques to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of companies. These tools, concepts and techniques form the basis of fundamental analysis. Ratio analysis is a tool that was developed to perform quantitative analysis on numbers found on financial statements. Ratios help link the three financial statements together and offer figures that are comparable between companies and across industries and sectors. Ratio analysis is one of the most widely used fundamental analysis techniques. However, financial ratios vary across different industries and sectors and comparisons between completely different types of companies are often not valid."

"text": "Market traders, especially high frequency traders take advantage of mispricings in the market, even if these inefficiencies last for just a few seconds or minutes. Mispricing can occur between two similar securities, like two S&P 500 ETFs, or within a single security, where the trading value differs from the net asset value (NAV). Both types of inefficiencies can be exploited by market participants through arbitrage. Taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities usually involves buying an asset when it is underpriced or trading at a discount and selling an asset that is overpriced or at a premium. Exchange traded funds, or ETFs, are one such asset that can be arbitraged. ETFs are securities that track an index, commodity, bond, or a basket of assets like an index fund, similar to mutual funds. But unlike mutual funds, ETFs trade, just like a stock, on a market exchange. Therefore, throughout the day, ETF prices fluctuate as trades are made to buy or sell shares. These trades provide liquidity in ETFs and transparency in price, but they also subject ETFs to intraday mispricing as the trading value can deviate, even slightly, from the underlying net asset value. Traders then take advantage of these opportunities."

In finance, the capital asset pricing model ( CAPM) is a model used to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset, to make decisions about adding assets to a well-diversified portfolio. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Inventors3 Formula4 Modified Betas5 Security market line6 Asset pricing7 Asset-specific required return8 Risk and diversification9 Efficient frontier10 Assumptions11 Problems12 See also13 References14 Bibliography Overview [ edit]The model takes into account the asset's sensitivity to non-diversifiable risk (also known as systematic risk or market risk ), often represented by the quantity beta (β) in the financial industry, as well as the expected return of the market and the expected return of a theoretical risk-free asset. CAPM assumes a particular form of utility functions (in which only first and second moments matter, that is risk is measured by variance, for example a quadratic utility) or alternatively asset returns whose probability distributions are completely described by the first two moments (for example, the normal distribution) and zero transaction costs (necessary for diversification to get rid of all idiosyncratic risk). Under these conditions, CAPM shows that the cost of equity capital is determined only by beta. [ 1] [2] Despite it failing numerous empirical tests, [3] and the existence of more modern approaches to asset pricing and portfolio selection (such as arbitrage pricing theory and Merton's portfolio problem ), the CAPM still remains popular due to its simplicity and utility in a variety of situations. Inventors [ edit]The CAPM was introduced by Jack Treynor (1961, 1962), [4] William F. Sharpe (1964), John Lintner (1965a,b) and Jan Mossin (1966) independently, building on the earlier work of Harry Markowitz on diversification and modern portfolio theory. Sharpe, Markowitz and Merton Miller jointly received the 1990 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for this contribution to the field of financial economics. Fischer Black (1972) developed another version of CAPM, called Black CAPM or zero-beta CAPM, that does not assume the existence of a riskless asset. This version was more robust against empirical testing and was influential in the widespread adoption of the CAPM."

Click on the term you want to read the definition to A1Annual Percentage Rate (APR)The annual percentage rate (APR) is a yearly rate, expressed as a percentage, that is charged for borrowing money, or accrued by investing money. This rate represents the cost of the amount borrowed over the term of the loan. Any additional costs or fees that are associated with this loan will be included in the APR. At first glance, credit card agreements and loan terms can be confusing. There can be a variance in transaction fees, interest rate structure, and penalties. The APR is a standardized calculation that gives the borrower that absolute bottom line amount for which they are responsible. This information can then be used to compare rates and find the best options with potential lenders. Credit card companies and lenders are required by law to disclose the APR to customers, and give clear detail on the actual rates applied to their agreements. You will often see credit card companies advertising low monthly interest rates, but they must also disclose the APR (example: 1.9% per month over 12 months = 22.8% APR) before any agreements are signed."

Open Document Introduction Proper cash management and efficient short-term financing are both important and beneficial to a company in order to maintain a competitive market share, which will increase profit potential and shareholder value through rising stock. Cash management can be used to lower or eliminate idle cash balances that do not earn revenue, using the freed up cash as sources for short-term financing through interest building securities. Short-term financing allows a company to secure needed funds in order to meet production needs and gain maximum profitability. The first part of this paper will compare and contrast the techniques of cash management that are available to a financial manager and his/her company. Cash management techniques include collection/disbursement float, Electronic Funds Transfer, international cash management, and marketable securities. The second part of this paper will compare and contrast the methods of short-term financing that are available to a financial manager and his or her company. Methods of short-term financing include trade credit, bank loans, commercial paper, foreign borrowing, receivables financing, and inventory financing. Description of Cash Management Techniques Float is the difference between a company’s recorded amount of available cash and the amount that has been credited to the company by the bank that results from time delays in certain processes within the banking system, such as mailing and clearing checks. Companies “play the float” in order to decrease collection times or extend disbursement dates, allowing them to have more cash on hand to use for interest building securities. Electronic Funds Transfer is a system that allows funds to be transmitted and credited electronically without the presence of a paper check."

The primary purpose of investing in marketable securities is the opportunity to capture returns on existing cash, while still maintaining easy access to cash flow (due to the high liquidity ). Marketable securities include debt securities, equity securities, and derivatives. Debt securities tend to be longer term, lower risk, and lower return. Equity primarily refers to stock and preferred stock, which can be used as a basic investment device to capture returns on existing cash (with higher risk than debt securities). Derivatives are a bit more complex. Derivatives are often used in hedging, which is the process of investing existing cash to offset external risks such as variances in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency fluctuations.

What is Public Debt Management and Why is it Important?1. Sovereign debt management is the process of establishing and executing a strategy for managing the government's debt in order to raise the required amount of funding, achieve its risk and cost objectives, and to meet any other sovereign debt management goals the government may have set, such as developing and maintaining an efficient market for government securities.2. In a broader macroeconomic context for public policy, governments should seek to ensure that both the level and rate of growth in their public debt is fundamentally sustainable, and can be serviced under a wide range of circumstances while meeting cost and risk objectives. Sovereign debt managers share fiscal and monetary policy advisors' concerns that public sector indebtedness remains on a sustainable path and that a credible strategy is in place to reduce excessive levels of debt. Debt managers should ensure that the fiscal authorities are aware of the impact of government financing requirements and debt levels on borrowing costs. 1 Examples of indicators that address the issue of debt sustainability include the public sector debt service ratio, and ratios of public debt to GDP and to tax revenue.3. Poorly structured debt in terms of maturity, currency, or interest rate composition and large and unfunded contingent liabilities have been important factors in inducing or propagating economic crises in many countries throughout history. For example, irrespective of the exchange rate regime, or whether domestic or foreign currency debt is involved, crises have often arisen because of an excessive focus by governments on possible cost savings associated with large volumes of short-term or floating rate debt."

"text": "\"The Federal Reserve has completed its latest round of Quantitative Easing, the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are under orders to continue shrinking their investment portfolios and significant constraints exist to keep private investors from purchasing agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). So who, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) asks, is going to pick up the slack? A white paper written by MBA's vice president and senior economist Michael Fratantoni, lays out the conundrum facing the MBS market. Fratantoni says both policy makers and the housing industry have a common interest in bringing private capital into the mortgage markets but the key question is how and in what form that private capital can best reenter the system. MBA has advocated for private capital to have a larger role in covering credit risk within the government guaranteed, conforming portion of the market but we need to consider how to draw it to the interest-rate risk of the conforming market and how to reengage it for lending outside of the government guaranteed system. For years, the GSEs' ability to issue long-term fixed-rate debt appeared to be a stabilizing factor for the U. S. housing finance system. Long-term, fixed-rate debt issued by the GSEs was a better match for funding long-term fixed-rate MBS than other funding instruments but the GSEs' purchase of fixed-rate MBS with minimal capital turned out instead to be destabilizing because they did not have enough skin-in the game. The GSE's investment portfolios which once topped more the $1.5 trillion have been reduced under their post-crash agreement with Treasury, to less than $1 trillion . Fratantoni said he is not arguing with that policy choice but those portfolios did historically serve to channel global capital into the U. S. mortgage market absent bearing the uncertain cash flows from directly owning mortgages or MBS. Now it has to be asked how the market can be structured to attract stable private capital over time without GSE investment portfolios playing that role."

"text": "Equity PREV DEFINITION NEXT DEFINITIONDefinition of 'Volatility'Definition: It is a rate at which the price of a security increases or decreases for a given set of returns. Volatility is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time. It shows the range to which the price of a security may increase or decrease. Description: Volatility measures the risk of a security. It is used in option pricing formula to gauge the fluctuations in the returns of the underlying assets. Volatility indicates the pricing behavior of the security and helps estimate the fluctuations that may happen in a short period of time. If the prices of a security fluctuate rapidly in a short time span, it is termed to have high volatility. If the prices of a security fluctuate slowly in a longer time span, it is termed to have low volatility. PREV DEFINITIONUnderlying Asset Definition: An underlying asset is the security on which a derivative contract is based upon. The price of the derivative may be directly correlated (e.g. call option) or inversely correlated (e.g. put option), to the price of the underlying asset."

Funds required for a business may be classified as long term and short term. long term finance is required for purchasing fixed assets like land and building, machinery etc. The amount of long term capital depends upon the scale of business and nature of business.19.2 Objectives After studying this lesson, you will be able to: explain the meaning and purpose of long term finance; identify the various sources of long term finance; define equity shares and preference shares; distinguish between equity shares and preference shares; define Debentures; enumerate the types of debentures; explain the merits and demerits of debentures as a source of long term finance; compare the relative advantages of issuing equity shares and debentures; explain the benefits and limitations of retained earnings; explain the merits and demerits of Public Deposits; outline the rules and regulations about inviting and accepting public deposits by companies; discuss the merits and demerits of long term borrowing from mmercial banks.19.3 Long Term Finance – Its meaning and purpose A business requires funds to purchase fixed assets like land and building, plant and machinery, furniture etc. These assets may be regarded as the foundation of a business. The capital required for these assets is called: fixed capital. A part of the working capital is also of a permanent nature. Funds required for this part of the working capital and for fixed capital is called long term finance. Purpose of long term finance: 1.

Repos are widely used for investing surplus funds short term, or for borrowing short term against collateral. Dealers in securities use repos to manage their liquidity, finance their inventories, and speculate in various ways. The Fed uses repos to manage the aggregate reserves of the banking system. What are Repos? Repos, short for repurchase agreements, are contracts for the sale and future repurchase of a financial asset, most often Treasury securities. On the termination date, the seller repurchases the asset at the same price at which he sold it, and pays interest for the use of the funds. Although legally a sequential pair of sales, in effect a repo is a short-term interest-bearing loan against collateral. The annualized rate of interest paid on the loan is known as the repo rate ."

"text": "Share |Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)Capital Asset pricing model (CAPM) is used to determine the current expected return of a specific security. This model assumes that every stock moves in some way relative to the market in general, and that by knowing this relationship, and the required rate of return for the market, and the minimum required risk free rate of return, the required rate of return can be determined for any stock. Use the capital asset pricing model calculator below to solve the formula. Capital Asset Pricing Model Definition Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to value a stocks required rate of return as a function of its volatility, and the relative risk and rate of return offered by the market.

The CAPM Capital Asset Pricing Model is a mathematical model intended to provide insight into how capital assets are priced in the market. The basic assumptions of this model give us insight into how it works. Investors are looking to generate a return on their funds by choosing assets to invest in with an expected rate of return. When investing these funds, investors put their capital at risk. When deciding which asset to invest in, investors will look to compare the expected rates of return with the expected levels of risk."

The returns used in the graph are not load-adjusted. The growth of $10,000 begins at the date of the fund's inception, or the first year listed on the graph, whichever is appropriate. Located alongside the fund's graph line is a line that represents the growth of $10,000 in either the S&P 500 index (for stock funds and hybrid funds) or the LB Aggregate index (for bond funds). The third line represents the fund's Morningstar category (see definition below). These lines allow investors to compare the performance of the fund with the performance of a benchmark index and the fund's Morningstar category. Both lines are plotted on a logarithmic scale, so that identical percentage changes in the value of an investment have the same vertical distance on the graph. For example, the vertical distance between $10,000 and $20,000 is the same as the distance between $20,000 and $40,000 because both represent a 100% increase in investment value. This provides a more accurate representation of performance than would a simple arithmetic graph. The graphs are scaled so that the full length of the vertical axis represents a tenfold increase in investment value."

Primates range in size from the tiny pygmy marmoset that weighs less than 3 ounces to the large mountain gorilla that weighs close to 400 pounds. Most species of primates are found in subtropical or tropical forests and many species live in trees. Primates have five fingers on their hand and five toes on their feet. Most species have fingernails instead of claws and they have touch-sensitive pads on each of their digits. The hands and feet of all primates, except for humans, are designed for grasping. Humans have hands designed for grasping, but not feet! Humans have opposable thumbs. That means they can cross their thumb over to the opposite side of their hand and can touch their thumb to their fingers. Opposable thumbs make holding and manipulating objects easier!"

Yet pygmy marmosets are different enough for scientists to group them apart from other marmoset species. A full-grown pygmy marmoset could fit in an adult human's hand, and it weighs about as much as a stick of butter. But there is nothing tiny about a pygmy marmoset's tail: it's longer than its body! The tail is not prehensile, but it helps the little monkey keep its balance as it gallops through the treetops. Both male and female pygmy marmosets are orange-brown. Each hair has stripes of brown and black, called agouti coloring. This coloration gives them good camouflage."

The primate order includes humans and our closest living biological relatives,as well as all extinct primate and human ancestors. In addition to providing evolutionary insights into the physiological and behavioral evolution of the human lineage, primates exhibit an extraordinarily diverse array of behaviors and social systems, which allows them to exploit many habitats within the tropics, ranging from savanna-woodland to rain forest. Some species, such as the Japanese macaque ( Macaca fuscata ), have adapted to the snowy winters of the island of Hokkaido. The rather cosmopolitan status that the primate lineage boasts is one of a number of reasons to study their adaptive strategies in the context of evolution. Finally, the cognitive capacity of primates provides a window into the evolution of intelligence, providing deeper insights into the machinery that drives our own behavior and thought processes. Common characteristics of primates The following characters distinguish the primate order from other mammalian groups. While all primates do not necessarily have every one of these traits, all primates have trait complexes that include a preponderance of the traits listed below. This is because some groups have lost some of these traits or developed others over the course of their evolutionary history.opposable thumb and big toeassists in grasping and manipulation behaviorsadaptation to arboreal lifestyleflat nails instead of claws, with dermatoglyphs (fingerprints) on fingers and toeshindlimb-dominated locomotionrelative reduction in the olfactory sensory system (smaller snouts) as compared to other mammalian ordersincreased reliance on visual sensationeyes are large and exhibit a high degree of frontation, or placement toward the front of the facefrontation increases overlap of visual fields, increasing binocular visioneach sends visual information to both hemispheres of the brain, enhancing depth perception and producing stereoscopic visiontendency toward smaller litter size, longer gestation times, and extended period of juvenile growthincreased period of maternal investment and carerelatively large brainsreduced number of teeth, with a maximum of two incisors, one canine, three premolars, and three molars in each jaw quadrant Taxonomy of Living Primates The primate order is generally subdivided into four groups, which are colloquially the prosimians, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and apes."

"text": "\"COMPARATIVE ANATOMY HOME COMPARATIVE ANATOMY TABLE OF CONTENTS OBL HOME OBL REFERENCESTHE INTEGUMENTTHE EPIDERMISThe integument is the largest organ of the human body. It can be divided into accessory structures (such as hair, nails, and glands) and the cutaneous membrane. The cutaneous membrane is composed of a superficial epidermis (composed of stratified squamous epithelia) and a dermis (composed of connective tissue). The epidermal cells are filled with the intermediate filament keratin (which also composes hair, feathers, scales, nails, and horns) and are joined by a number of junctions. Melanocytes of the cutaneous membrane and hair synthesize pigment molecules. Under the integument, the hypodermis stores adipose. Comparative anatomy suggests that the human integument evolved through a long series of transitional stages. The outer covering of the body of cnidarians is composed of a tissue called epithelia, as is the case in all bilateran animals. The epithelia which covers the body, known as the epidermis, can be ciliated in primitive animals and used for locomotion. This trait of a ciliated epidermis is known in diverse invertebrates, including basal deuterostomes and chordates."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A babbling infant, age 6 months, making ba and ma sounds (15 seconds)Babies begin babbling around 5-7 months of age Babbling is a stage in child development and a state in language acquisition during which an infant appears to be experimenting with uttering articulate sounds, but does not yet produce any recognizable words. Babbling begins shortly after birth and progresses through several stages as the infant's repertoire of sounds expands and vocalizations become more speech-like. [ 1] Infants typically begin to produce recognizable words when they are around 12 months of age, though babbling may continue for some time afterward. [ 2] Babbling can be seen as a precursor to language development or simply as vocal experimentation. The physical structures involved in babbling are still being developed in the first year of a child's life. [ 3] This continued physical development is responsible for some of the changes in abilities and variations of sound babies can produce. Abnormal developments such as certain medical conditions, developmental delays, and hearing impairments may interfere with a child's ability to babble normally. Though there is still disagreement about the uniqueness of language to humans, babbling is not unique to the human species.

"text": "Up Home VERTEBRATE ANIMALS ORDER PRIMATESSUBCLASS THERIAINFRACLASS EUTHERIAORDER PRIMATESThe order Primates contains a diverse assemblage of 256 species including lemurs, bush babies, lorises, �typical� monkeys, leaf monkeys and apes. Primates exhibit a wide range of body forms and life styles and inhabit very diverse ecological niches. There is no one unique feature that can be used to describe the members of this order but all primates share a group of general traits associated with their heads and limbs: Forward facing eyes, stereoscopic vision, bony orbital eye rings;Reduced snout and olfactory apparatus;Middle ear enclosed by an outgrowth of the petrosal bone;Large and complex brains compared to other animals;Independently moving digits with sensitive ends;Opposable thumbs and, except for humans, opposable large toes;Nails on one digit at least;A clavicle or collar bone;Two separate bones in the lower forelimbs (ulna, radius) and the lower hindlimbs (tibia, fibula). Recent phylogenetic studies placed the primates into the Clade Euarchontiglires with the tree shrews, colugos, rodents and lagomorphs (Springer et al. 2004, Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 19, 430 - 438) and confirmed earlier classifications, based on morphological and physiological features, that divided primates into two main groups (Purvis 1995, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, B, 348, 405-421) commonly called the lower primates and the higher primates. The lower primates or strepsirhines (suborder Strepsirhini) include lemurs, bush babies, lorises; the higher primates or haplorhines (suborder Haplorhini) include the tarsiers, Old and New World monkeys, apes and humans. Strepsirhines have moist noses; haplorhines have simple, dry noses. Strepsirhines have longer snouts, smaller brains and a more highly developed sense of smell than haplorhines. Haplorhines have shorter faces, larger brains and a more highly developed sense of vision than Strepsirhines; their eyes face more forward than the eyes of strepsirhines. The different lines of primates show gradual changes in the hands and feet - the evolution of sensitive pads for gripping on the underside of fingers and toes and increased mobility of the digits for grasping objects."

"text": "\"Primatology Tiny, insect-eating animal becomes earliest known primate Archicebus achilles lived 55m years ago in what is now China and is the ancestor of all monkeys, apes and humans Alok Jha, science correspondent Wed 5 Jun 2013 13.00 EDT13.00 EDTThis article is over 4 years old74 1320:00/0:00Loaded Progress Fullscreen Mute This video is no longer available. A tiny, insect-eating animal with slender limbs, a long tail and weighing in at no more than 30 grams, has become the earliest known primate in the fossil record. Archicebus achilles lived on a humid, tropical lake shore 55m years ago in what is now China and is the ancestor of all modern tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans. Sign up for Lab Notes - the Guardian's weekly science update Read more Scientists found the fossil, whose name translates as \"\"ancient monkey\"\", in the Hubei province of China about a decade ago but it hasn't received detailed analysis until now. About 7cm long, Archicebus lived in the trees and its small, pointed teeth are evidence that its diet consisted of insects. The fossil's large eye sockets indicate a creature with good vision and, according to scientists, it probably hunted during daytime. Xijun Ni of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who led the study of the fossil, described the animal as having a very long tail, slender limbs, a round face and feet capable of grasping. \"\" Maybe it would also have had colours and it would have preyed on insects,\"\" he said. A full description of the fossil is published in the latest edition of Nature. The analysis shows that the fossil had a mixture of features found in modern-day tarsiers, an ancient group of primates that is now restricted to the islands of South East Asia, and others found in anthropoids, the lineage through which monkeys, apes and humans later evolved."

Primates are generally arboreal mammals with a geographic distribution largely restricted to the Tropics. Unlike most other mammalian orders, theprimates cannot be defined by a diagnostic suite of specializations, but are characterized by a combination of primitive features and progressive trends. These include:1. Increased dominance of vision over olfaction, with eyes more frontally directed, development of stereoscopic vision, and reduction in the length of the snout.2. Eye sockets of the skull completely encircled by bone.3. Loss of an incisor and premolar from each half of the upper and lower jaws with respect to primitive placental mammals.4. Increased size and complexity of the brain, especially those centers involving vision, memory,and learning.5. Development of grasping hands and feet, with a tendency to use the hands rather than the snout as the primary exploratory and manipulative organ.6."

That would be very difficult to do if over 40 delicate and long DNA molecules were tangled. To avoid this problem, DNA is kept organized by coiling tightly around proteins until forming structures called chromosomes. Sexually reproducing organisms, such as monkeys, have two copies of every chromosome: one from the mother, and one from the father. However, not all monkeys have the same number of chromosomes. The diploid chromosome number of a monkey will depend on its haploid number, and its haploid number will depend on the species. Haploid and Diploid Chromosome Number Haploid number is the number of chromosomes in a sex cell, such as a sperm or an egg. It is abbreviated as n. Diploid number is the number of chromosomes in a non-sex cell, such as the zygote that results from a sperm cell fertilizing an egg. It is abbreviated as 2n. The diploid number of an organism will be double the haploid number, since it results from receiving one haploid set of chromosomes from each parent."

It was first provisionally classified as enterovirus 72, but subsequent determinations of its nucleotide and amino acid sequences showed them to be sufficiently distinct to assign the virus to a new genus. Heparnavirus (Hep-A-RNA-virus) has been suggested as the genus name. HAV shares the key properties of the picornavirus family: an icosahedral particle 28 nm in diameter with cubic symmetry, composed of 30% RNA and 70% protein. The genome is single-stranded 7.48 kb RNA, linear and positive-sense. Like other picornaviruses, HAV possesses four major polypeptides cleaved from a large precursor polyprotein. The surface proteins VPI and VP3 are major antibody-binding sites. The internal protein VP4 is much smaller than the VP4s of other picornaviruses. As other picornaviruses.

As one of our closest relatives, these mammals are very intelligent and have opposable thumbs, allowing them to use tools and play games. There are more than 260 different types of monkeys. They are separated into two major categories: New World and Old World. The New World monkeys live in the Americas, while Old World monkeys live in Asia and Africa. One difference between the two categories is that Old World monkeys don't have prehensile tails; New World monkeys do. Old World monkeys have special pouches in their cheek where they can store food. Old World monkeys have rump pads, but New World monkeys do not. Also, Old World monkeys' nostrils are small and curved and set close together; most New World monkeys have round nostrils set far apart."

Similar in appearance to squirrels, marmosets are tree-dwelling primates that move in a quick, jerky manner. Claws on all the digits except the big toe aid them in scampering along branches, where they primarily eat insects in addition to fruit, tree sap, and other small animals. Marmosets are active during the day and live in small groups. The gestation period is four to six months, depending on species; twins are the norm, with single births being about as common as triplets.

The pygmy marmoset is known to be the smallest known species of monkey in the world. The pygmy marmoset averages at about 15cm tall, with a 20cm long tail behind it. The pygmy marmoset has sharp claws which make the pygmy marmoset excellent at climbing trees and the long tail of the pygmy marmoset gives this little monkey fantastic balance when jumping between tree branches. The low weight of the pygmy marmoset allows the pygmy marmoset to reach the canopy tree tops, a place where many of the larger species of monkey cannot reach. Here the pygmy marmoset eats fruits, berries, insects and small reptiles safely high above any dangerous predators. The small size of the pygmy marmoset means that it has developed a number of nicknames from locals and tourists alike, such as the pocket monkey and the little lion. The tiny size of this miniature monkey means that the pygmy marmoset if often very difficult to observe in the wild. The pygmy marmoset has been increasingly popular as an exotic pet, but they are very hard to keep. When a baby pygmy marmoset is taken away from the family it can often die quickly due to depression."

"text": "Common marmoset Common marmosets are New World monkeys, a term describing monkeys from South and Central America. They have white tufts of hair on the sides of their heads and on their forehead which identify them as common marmosets. Like all marmosets andtamarins they have claws on their fingers (though they still have nails on their thumbs) rather than the nails common to all other primates. This helps them grip the bark of the trees they climb. They live in polyandrous groups of 3-13, which means that a single female mates with multiple males who fluidly enter and leave the group. Typically the core of the group will have one female, a male and their offspring. All members of the group assist with parental care. At birth the twin infants will be 40% of the mother’s weight and it is thought that the polyandry evolved to ensure that there was enough parental support to successfully rear the energy hungry infants. Like all marmosets, common marmosets eat a diet high in tree sap and have specialised teeth to access this food type. Common marmosets will also eat a range of plants and animals including flowers, nectar, fruit, insects and spiders."

The CDC guidelines were developed to provide a central reference for professionals involved in infection control that contains CDC recommendations and is easily accessible to the infection control personnel in hospitals. It should be emphasized that these guidelines represent the advice of CDC on questions commonly asked of the Hospital Infections Program, but are not intended to have the force of law or regulation. These guidelines can be expected to change in response to the acquisition of new knowledge. Each guideline begins with a preamble that describes the approaches that have been used or advocated to deal with infection control issues and evaluate, where data exist, their efficacy. The preamble is followed by a group of succinct recommendations. The guidelines are assembled in a loose-leaf notebook to allow for the addition of new guidelines as they are developed and revisions as necessary. Optimally, recommendations should be based on rigorously controlled scientific studies because recommendations of this type have the highest probability of value."

MRSA means \"\"methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus .\"\" It is a specific \"\"staph\"\" bacteria (a type of germ) that is often resistant to (is not killed by) several types of antibiotic treatments. Most S. aureus is methicillin-susceptible (killed by methicillin and most other common treatments). In general, healthy people with no cuts, abrasions, or breaks on their skin are at low risk for getting infected. About one out of every three people (33%) are estimated to carry staph in their nose, usually without any illness. About two in 100 (2%) carry MRSA. Both adults and children may have MRSA. Like common S. aureus (SA), MRSA may cause deep (invasive) or life-threatening infections in some people. Because it is resistant to commonly used antibiotics, it can be harder to treat or become worse if the right treatment is delayed."

I asked a doctor about the necessity of wearing a mask. He states that since I've had chickenpox (and have a titer that demonstrates immunity) I don't need the mask. The idea is that I've already got the virus inactive in me and exposure does not cause a case of shingles. The isolation is to protect the other pts. Any thoughts? Rationales for wearing a mask?9 Comments Comment Nov 28, '13I'd recommend reading the section on the CDC website that talks about shingles in the healthcare setting and considerations for healthcare workers, there is a good explanation of everything there.

Â These two measures are serving the same reasons, which are to prevent the spread of diseases that can be potentially dangerous to the health of the community. Â Airborne infections are those that are transmitted with flying pathogens that are in the wind. Â Droplets, on the other hand, are the causes of the spread of disease in the droplet precautions. Â When it comes to transmission of the disease, the main difference is that the droplet is infected through the nose, mouth, mucous membranes and conjunctivae of a person who is weak. Â The airborne precautions are taken to prevent the entry of the disease or agents through the respiratory system. When it comes to isolation processes, the airborne precautions would include this room that is equipped with special air handling and ventilation devices. Â Inside the room are machines who will be able to monitor the pressure related to the surrounding area and the air exchanges that occur.

The methods of physical protection are:-Barrier nursing - special nursing procedures which reduce the risks of person to person transmission, especially by direct contact or by fomites. Segregation into single rooms, cubicles, or plastic isolators - which reduces airborne spread to from patients, and facilitates nursing techniques. Mechanical ventilation - which reduces the risks of airborne spread by removing bacteria from the patient’s room and by excluding bacteria present in the outside air from the room. The transfer of infection by the airborne route can be controlled only by confining the patients in a single room, whether source or protective isolation. On the other hand, diseases spread by contact, such as enteric fever, depends primarily on barrier nursing. The term isolation is commonly used in the sense of segregation of the patient in a single room. Barrier nursing is one of the basic components of patient isolation and can be used on its own or together with the other components. There are various types of isolation offering different degrees of protection;-High security isolation units - these are usually part of an infectious diseases hospital.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), from November 2002 to July 31, 2003, there were 8,098 cases of SARS; of these, 774 died. On October 1, 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported that there were 164 probable and suspect SARS cases in the United States, of which only eight had laboratory evidence of SARS. There were no deaths due to SARS in the US. Most of the U. S. SARS cases were among travelers returning from other parts of the world with SARS. There were 11 suspect and probable SARS cases investigated by the Minnesota Department of Health; many of these individuals had an alternative diagnosis that could explain their symptoms. What causes SARS? SARS is caused by a virus called the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-Co V). It was first identified in April 2003 and is a member of the Coronaviridae family, which also includes many of the viruses that cause the common cold."

On exposure to an antigen, the lymphoid tissues release large numbers of activated T cells into the lymph system. These T cells pass into the general circulation. There are three main groups of T cells: (a) helper (b) cytotoxic T cells: which attack and kill microorganisms and sometimes the body's own cells. ( c) suppressor T cells, which can suppress the functions of the helper T cells and the cytotoxic T cells.

"text": "Influenza Information for Healthcare Professionals and Facilities Update as of 2/8/18: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received reports of spot shortages of some influenza tests, including Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests (RIDTs) and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). From the CDC: These reports coincide with an ongoing intense and widespread seasonal influenza epidemic, during which spot shortage of flu vaccines and influenza antiviral medications also have been observed. RIDTs are tests that can identify the presence of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens in respiratory specimens, and display the result. While RIDTs can be important for diagnosis and treatment, how well they work can vary dramatically based on a number of factors. Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and other molecular assays can identify the presence of influenza viral RNA in respiratory specimens. These test are generally much more reliable and are recommended by CDC for use on hospitalized patients. According to CDC guidance, testing is not needed for all patients with signs and symptoms of influenza to make antiviral treatment decisions. Once influenza activity has been documented in the community or geographic area, a clinical diagnosis of influenza can be made for outpatients with signs and symptoms consistent with suspected influenza, especially during periods of peak influenza activity in the community. Guidance for Clinicians on the Use of RT-PCR and Other Molecular Assays for Diagnosis of Influenza Virus Infection Guidance on the use of RIDTs Information on this page pertains to healthcare settings including acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities (such as nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities), physicians’ offices, urgent care centers, and outpatient clinics. The recommendations and guidance may also be applicable to other settings where healthcare is delivered, such as school/work health clinics and home healthcare."

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Car Makes Mazda Are Mazdas good cars? They seem like it, and a couple of my friends who are very into cars claim they are, but I want more opinions. Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Some are very VERY good (zoom zoom) and some are very bad, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Do NOT buy any RX8 for one thing, the engines are terrible, you'd be in the shop for weeks at a time, 10 times a year. Don't buy an MPV either, the transmission is weak, as well as the cooling system, they have stopped making that model so parts are hard to find. Mazda3 is good, except for the mazda3s or the mazdaspeed3, both of which have bad transmissions. The later the model the better - careful about the engine mount, and buy a better brand of tires before winter. Same for Mazda6. Miata looks great but has problems with alignment. Most Mazda models have brake problems, and the tires they chose aren't too good in snow or icy conditions."

"text": "Car Liststhis article on: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email The Lightest New Cars in the U. S. for 2016The skinniest cars you can buy today. By: Jake Holmes | Photography by: The Manufacturer February 2, 2016Previous Next A utomakers are no different than people at the gym in January: They want to lose weight. From the cheapest economy cars to the most expensive exotics, every car manufacturer is desperately trying to cut pounds from its vehicles. Reducing a car’s mass improves every aspect of its performance — acceleration, braking, and handling — not to mention ride quality and fuel efficiency. Most new cars, including everything from the Chevrolet Malibu and Audi Q7 to the Ford F-150 and Mazda MX-5 Miata, are thus considerably lighter than their predecessors, even as they add new safety and technology features. Of course, big cars like a Malibu or F-150 will always be heavier than economy hatchbacks and roadsters, butthis list of the absolute skinniest new cars available now in the U. S. might still surprise you — especially when you see how many new cars are lighter than the stripped-out Alfa Romeo 4C.2016 Toyota Prius C – 2,496 lb Despite having a hefty battery pack and electric motor on board, the Prius C manages to not only be America’s lightest hybrid car, but one of its lightest cars altogether. The bite-size Prius is intended for urbanites who want impressive efficiency but don’t need the space or capability of the standard Prius. It’ll return 53 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway, and starts at just $20,395, making the Toyota Prius C just as light on the wallet as it is on the scales.2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe – 2,465 lb So pared back to basics that it lacks power steering or even carpeting, the Alfa Romeo 4C quickly secured a place in our hearts and a spot on our 2015 All-Stars list. In the vein of the no-longer-sold-here Lotus Elise, the 4C is about driving pleasure, responsive handling, and not much else. A turbocharged engine and a dual-clutch automatic transmission provide ample motivation, while sticky tires, grabby brakes, and that ultra-low curb weight contribute to exceptional handling."

Acceleration is tepid in four-cylinder models with automatic; yet overall, the Mazda 6 delivers on its fun-to-drive promise. It’s also as practical as any compact sedan–and even some midsize models. As a result, the Mazda 6 earns a Recommended rating. Overview Replacing the 626 sedan, the new front-drive Mazda 6 (actually badged “Mazda6”) was a slightly wider, taller, and heavier sedan with fresh styling and more power. The base “i” model used a new 160-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. The uplevel “s” sedan held a 220-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6, versus the 165-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the departed 626. Both engines teamed with a manual or automatic transmission. The automatic was a four-speed unit on four-cylinder models, but a five-speed with V6s; both had a separate gate for manual shifting. All models had four-wheel disc brakes."

UPDATED: 5/13/2015 8:35 am ET -- adds details, background TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. have agreed to form a “long-term partnership” that deepens collaboration on products, manufacturing and technologies as carmakers race to spread spiraling development costs amid ever-stricter emissions standards. Under the agreement announced May 13, the carmakers will form a joint committee to evaluate “how best to utilize each company’s respective strengths,” the companies said in a statement. The announcement comes amid media reports that said the two companies are exploring numerous projects. Among them would be an arrangement in which Toyota supplies Mazda with its hydrogen fuel cell system and plug-in hybrid technology, in exchange for receiving Mazda’s fuel-efficient Skyactiv gasoline and diesel engine technology. Outlining the partnership at a joint press conference, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda and Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai declined to offer concrete examples of what the cooperation might deliver. But they identified joint manufacturing, hybrid vehicles and fuel cells as possibilities. The executives side-stepped questions about the talks evolving into a capital tie-up."

Winter rubbers are a must, of course. Traction control and antilock brakes are almost obligatory. Heated seats … well, that’s a bit of a luxury but, hey, take those, too, if you can. Oft-overlooked, however, is all-wheel drive. While it won’t necessarily make you invincible (driving too fast for the conditions will spell disaster regardless of the drivetrain), it will help you slice through the white stuff like butter and keep you on the straight and narrow when facing slippery conditions.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Ford just sold Jaguar and Range Rover, so that's no longer on the list. They have a one-third interest in Mazda (the Ford Escape, and Mercury Mariner were designed along with the Tribute by Mazda). Volvo is a Ford subsidiary, and the C-30 (I recently put a client in one) is built on the Mazda 3 platform. And Aston (not Austin) Martin is no longer wholly owned by Ford. They retain a small interest but it's owned now by two Kuwaiti investors. Of course, Lincoln and Mercury are long-standing Ford divisions.

KBB says it compiles the annual list to help shoppers make a budget-wise purchase decision informed by more than just the deal to drive off the dealer lot. \"\" New-car shoppers naturally want to know how much a car will cost upfront; however, sometimes an even more expensive car can actually save you money during the first five years of ownership,\"\" said Dan Ingle, vice president of vehicle valuations for Kelley Blue Book, in a statement.

"text": "\"mainlandboy New Reader6/12/14 8:12 p.m. Hi all,I bought a 1991 Miata yesterday to serve as a donor car for my next project. I noticed that the crank pulley has 4 slots on the front face, which I believe signifies that it has a short nose crank. Is this assumption correct? Also, I thought that the short nose crank was limited to the 1990 model. If both my assumptions are correct, it would appear that that the engine was swapped at one point with a 1990 engine. Another clue is that the cam angle sensor is on the cam closest to the intake side, and I thought that on later cars, the cam angle sensor was moved to the cam on the exhaust side. If it makes a difference, the car is a Canadian car with manual steering (base). Any feedback you have is appreciated. Slippery Half Dork6/12/14 8:14 p.m. Short nose has four slots. I am not 100% sure, but I thought early '91s had short nose."

Because computers work in binary the numbers above are only close approximations and not exact numbers. A KB is actually excactly 1024 bytes. The rest of the numbers bigger than KB are worked out depending on what you mean by 1000, some computer people like to use 1024 all the way, therefore 1024 KB x 1024 = 1048576 (or 1048 KB or 1049 KB in a MB (depending also on your method of rounding). Others (namily microsoft, and some hardware manufacturers) prefer to use the number 1000, so that 1024 KB x 1000 = 1024000 (or 1024 KB in a MB), others still (again notably microsoft) prefer to bring the numbers to the nearst 1000, so then the table above will apply excactly, however, technically speaking, you are not getting what you paid for if the numbers are not multiplied correctly.

You may wonder why multiples of 1024 are used rather than 1000. After all, the prefix kilo- means 1000.

It is important to realize that not all manufacturers and developers list their value using binary, which is base 2. For example, a manufacturer may list a product's capacity as one gigabyte (1,000,000,000 bytes, a metric value) and not 1,073,741,824 bytes ( Gibibyte) that it actually is. For this page, we are using the \"\"common names\"\" and listing all values in base 2. Note: All values are listed as whole numbers, which means a GB shows it can only contain one 650 MB CD. Technically, 1 GB could hold 1.5753 CDs worth of data, but this document isn't meant to show you how many \"\"parts\"\" of an object a value can hold. Therefore, we are omitting decimal values. More plainly, you can only fit one complete 650 MB CD on a 1 GB drive since two full 650 MB discs exceed 1 GB.

The IEC requirement stipulated that a gigabyte must be equal to exactly 1,000 3 bytes to differentiate it from a gibibyte, which represents 1,024 3 bytes. The definition was incorporated into the International Standard of Quantities in 2009, and it is also recommended by the International System of Units (SI)."

But when you consider Bill has mastered the training and nutrition secrets to not only build such an awesome body, but maintain peak condition for 4 decades, it is no wonder why so many people want to know his secrets. Bill commands big bucks for one-on-one training, and that's when he finds time from his hectic schedule to share his valuable knowledge and experience with a select few (which now includes you!)."

Flag Are Mc Donald's chicken nuggets real chicken? Answer by Peter Zavon Confidence votes 64.4KYes, Mc Donald's chicken nuggets are really chicken, breaded and heavily seasoned, in approximately the same sense that hamburger patties are really beef. An old Wendy's commercial made a joke about it. It showed a customer of an (unidentified, but pretty clearly intended to be taken as Mc Donald's) competitor asking what part of the chicken was the nugget. The response was \"\"Parts is parts. You see, they take the chicken parts, and put them together into one big part. ( His coworker says \"\"Fused.\"\") Then they take the big part, and cut it up into little pieces parts. And parts is parts!\"\""

Analyzing the Mc Donald's Menu Mc Donald's and many other fast food restaurants post calorie counts for each of their food products. But if you are in the drive-thru lane you might not have time to grab your calculator and do the math. So be safe and stick to sandwiches that include grilled meat or chicken to keep the calorie count low. You'll also boost your daily protein intake with those choices. It's also a good idea to skip the French fries and choose fruit instead. If you want to indulge, get a small size of fries and choose a smaller sandwich. And your best bet for saving calories?"

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. It’s something you’ve probably wondered far too often when chowing down on Mc Donald’s Chicken Nuggets — what are these actually made of? Is there even chicken in here? According to Mc Donald’s, the answer is still yes, as stated in yet another video in the fast-food chain’s transparency campaign. In the new video, similar to the one on how Mc Ribs are made, “How It’s Made” host Grant Imahara ventures to Tyson Foods in Tennessee to get the inside scoop for viewers. The video touches on some pretty tough subjects, like those nasty pink slime accusations Mc Donald’s faced in 2012, and Imahara’s nearly perfect description of how people think Chicken Nuggets are made: “People think that you just come to this giant factory, you have a bin of chickens that you just put into a grinder, you grind ‘em up and you pour that into a mold, [squeezing noise] and that’s what you use to make a Chicken Mc Nugget. ”Here are some important moments in the video:1. Shots of the workers slicing up chicken2. When we saw something that looked like pink slime3."

And though I'm sadly not a Juggalo, I have already knocked off burgers, so I figured it was time I taste-tested the birds. But this go-round, I was (kind of) smart (er): I broke down the tastings over two days so I wouldn't unfairly judge against sandwiches I was tasting later in the campaign, and also so I wouldn't die from eating 6,300 calories' worth of fried meat in one sitting. How I did it: Unlike burgers, I opted to try all of the chains' premium fried chicken offerings, rather than the lowest-price chicken sandwich. As most consisted of some combination of breaded chicken fillet, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, I tried to stay as close as possible to that order (though, as you'll see, sometimes it was challenging). The test was conducted in both San Francisco and San Diego over two days, ending on August 4th, 2014. My mouth still tastes salty.

The meat in both their burgers and chicken nuggets are clogged with household chemicals such as pneumonia (something like that, I can't spell it). One person had it a bit right, too; it indeed has leftover chicken bones. It's about 60% chicken according to their actual ingredients, and the rest is nasty chemicals and stuff that would normally kill somebody. Not even kidding. Mc Donalds is on a low budget, so they use the stuff that comes out of dog food factories. It's like the leftover fat and arteries that they serve in the burgers, too."

While I am being compensated for this post all thoughts and opinions are my own. I love chicken…always have, always will. In fact, when I was growing up and learning how to cook the only thing I ever made was chicken. My Dad used to tell me that I would turn into a chicken if I kept eating it everyday but alas, I am still just me so I think it’s safe to say that he lied. LOL!I was craving a good chicken sandwich the other day so imagine my surprise when I saw Mc Donalds had the new new Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich on the menu. According to the Mc Donalds website the sandwich is made with “100% grilled chicken breast filet seasoned to perfection with ingredients like salt, garlic and parsley – seared in our kitchens, no preservatives added. Crisp leaf lettuce, fresh tomato, and a vinaigrette dressing. All atop our delectable artisan roll.”"

ADVERTISEMENTAlthough Mc Donald's Chicken Mc Nuggets are typically cited as one of the foods made with meat treated with ammonium hydroxide --aka pink slime -- Mc Donald's says that since 2003 they're made with all USDA-inspected white meat.

You know the sensation you get when it feels like your stomach is having a heart attack! I can specifically remember the times that I’ve suffered the most and it always followed a last resort feeding at the golden arches. As I would lay there moaning, I told myself “NEVER AGAIN! !” Needless to say, I haven’t been there in about 10 years and don’t plan on going back anytime soon. Mc Donald’s was made famous for offering unhealthy amounts of calories, fat, sodium, and sugar disguised as food. So when they came out with salads, I was pleasantly surprised. It looked like this mega-fast-food chain actually had some healthy options on the menu. Amazing! Most of us know that a ‘salad’ is synonymous with ‘health’, however, leave it to Mc Donald’s to make even their salads unhealthy."

"text": "FOOD & DRINK 01/20/2015 11:39 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017This Is How Mc Donald’s Fries Are Made, According To Mc Donald’s By Carly Ledbetter After showing us how Chicken Mc Nuggets and Mc Rib patties are made, Mc Donald’s is back with yet another video in what we like to refer to as the company’s truth-telling campaign. The latest video is far less frozen and complicated than the previous two menu items and is aptly titled “What Are Mc Donald’s Fries Made Of?”Once again, host Grant Imahara of “Mythbusters” fame leads the way, asking the plant manager the one question Mc Donald’s customers have asked themselves: “Are the fries even made out of potatoes?” And furthermore, “Are they ground up and mushed into the fry shape?”Here’s how Mc Donald’s fries made, from start to finish freezing: Step 1: Potatoes are transferred from the farm to the potato plant. Step 2: The potatoes are cut. Step 3: Ingredients are dipped to “control color, add dextrose and sodium acid pyrophosphate. ”Step 4: Potatoes are partially fried for a “crisp, outer shell. ”Step 5: Potatoes go into a “frozen tunnel” for freezing, then are sent to Mc Donald’s stores. There are a few fun takeaways from this video, like the fact that Mc Donald’s shoots potatoes through a cutting device at 60-70 mph. But there are also a few less-than-awesome moments. Dextrose (aka sugar) is added to Mc Donald’s fries, as is sodium acid pyrophosphate to limit the “greying” of fries after freezing."

However my wife declared that i will be eating the product alone, because she believes, that smoked meat is harmfull to human health. Is she correct, or is she mistaken? Feb 21, 2013 #2vetmp Smoke Blower Newburgh (Town), New York As far as I am aware there is no adverse effects of eating smoked meat. Smoking simply adds flavor and whatever rubs or marinades you use to create your flavor profile can be altered to be gluten free, low sodium what have you. There is nothing that causes health effects. It is simply meat cooked low and slow with some wood added. Besides, the only health effects that I get is the threat of bodily harm if I smoke something else for dinner and that's from the wife.... Tell her not to worry and everything will be fine.

"text": "\"A Manufactured Meat Smoker For Sausage Making You can buy a meat smoker or you can build one. I have done both. Right now, I'm using a manufactured smoker because my wife objected to \"\"that ugly home-made thing\"\" that I had sitting on our back patio. Manufactured smokers cover a wide price range. The largest and most expensive are for commercial use, can be the size of a small room, and cost many of thousands of dollars. The smallest and cheapest meat smokers only have enough room to smoke a couple of sausage links, and don't usually have a good way to regulate temperatures in the smoke box. A sausage smoker that works best for home sausage making ranges in cost from around $75 to $350. The more expensive of these are usually made of stainless steel and have large capacities and very precise controls. There are a number of the less expensive models on the market that do a good job. They are usually made of sheet metal or aluminum, have adequate temperature controls, and can turn out great sausage (as well as doing a good job for \"\"slow-cooked\"\" smoked BBQ)."

I have been doing quite a few test runs on my new wood fired smoker to get everything right before I begin giving instructions on how to smoke chicken I have to say I have been getting some very good results.. tasty results I might add. I am going to release the details that have recently become the standard for smoking chicken at my house. Go to the local supermarket or meat market and pick out a few plump chickens in the 3 to 3.5 pound range for the best flavor. I like to buy ones that are not full of solution.. look for words like “all natural” or “minimally processed” on the outside of the package. Brine the chickens in a solution of:1 gallon water1 cup coarse kosher salt1 cup dark brown sugaranything else you might like to add such as wine, fruit juice, spices, worcestershire, etc.. You can double the recipe if you need to. please read the page on brining for more information. You will only need to brine the chickens for around 4 hours or so. Build a fire that will maintain around 225°F using oak as a base wood and while the fire is getting started wash the brine off of the chickens and coat the chickens with my original rub for the best results. Get the Recipes for Jeff's Rub and Sauce My original rub is used to season the chicken with flavor that will blow you away without overpowering the meat and without being too salty!I promise you'll love my dry rub/seasoning recipe and my barbecue sauce recipe or you don't pay!Reasons to buy : Support the newsletter and the website | Own “the recipes” | Get the email newsletter 100% AD FREE from now on | Includes the Texas style rub recipe Place the chickens on the smoker breast side down and immediately throw on some hickory and let the smoke roll relentlessly out of the smoke stack."

"text": "Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe for Under $15 – Easy and Frugal By Jeremy Vohwinkle 190 Comments Tweet Cheap BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe Can Feed a Crowd One of the best ways to save money on food is cooking at home using recipes that utilize an inexpensive cut of meat. The problem is that many people think cheap cuts of meat equals tough, or otherwise poor quality meat. This is not always the case. In fact, some of the cheapest cuts of meat produce the best tasting dishes you’ve probably ever had. Cheap foods can still be healthy, good and save you money. No, this is not traditional barbecue, which requires low and slow cooking with real smoke. While I do have a smoker and make traditionally smoked pulled pork, this is a great winter substitute, or simply a way for those of you without smokers to achieve a great pulled pork dish from the comfort of your kitchen. That’s why today we’re looking at the pork butt, Boston butt, pork shoulder, or whatever you want to call it. It’s a cut of meat that hardly anyone buys because it’s something you can’t just whip together in 15 minutes and requires low and slow cooking. If you’re a busy parent you may be thinking this recipe isn’t for you, but you’re wrong!"

"text": "Turkey Done Temperature What's the correct turkey done temperature you should shoot for? Why is it important that this minimum temperature is reached? And what are the possible consequences of under-cooking a turkey? For years, the FSIS* branch of the USDA** recommended cooking turkeys and chickens to 170ºF internal breast temperature, and 180ºF internal thigh temperature. Recently that standard has been changed, and now the FSIS recommends that the internal temperature of any part of the turkey has to reach just 165ºF in order to be safe. That's great news, because the line between being safely done and overcooked (especially for the white breast meat) was extremely narrow at the previous recommendations. Now there's a little wiggle room for us cookers of turkeys, and there's less chance of serving dry, tasteless turkey breast while still knowing it's completely safe to eat. * Food Safety and Inspection Service **United States Department of Agriculture Turkey Done Temperature- Why So Important? The reason turkey has to reach 165ºF is that poultry often carries E-coli bacteria, which can cause serious illness and even death. It's most dangerous when contracted by people who have less robust immune systems (very young or old, or sickly) but it's fully capable of bringing down even extremely healthy individuals (and I mean six-feet-under down)."

"text": "Credit: Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0You’ve probably seen plenty of headlines about the fact that processed meat has been classified as a ‘definite’ cause of cancer. And red meat is a ‘probable’ cause. The decision – coordinated by a respected international body – has been so highly anticipated by the media that speculation about the announcement has been building since last week. But a link between certain types of meat and some forms of cancer – notably bowel cancer – isn’t ‘new’ news – the evidence has been building for decades, and is supported by a lot of careful research. Nevertheless, today’s announcement is significant. It comes from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) – a group of international experts who scrutinise the overall evidence – in this case more than 800 studies – on how likely certain things are to cause cancer. Their decisions carry a lot of clout, especially with governments and regulators. But what does the finding – published here in the Lancet Oncology – mean in practice? How much meat is it sensible to eat? And how many cases of cancer are linked to meat consumption?"

"text": "Home / Recipes / Types of BBQ Smokers Grilling/Smoking How To Types of BBQ Smokers March 11, 2018For some people BBQ is just a term used for outdoor cooking. On the other hand, there is a group of people that looks at BBQ as a saintly way of cooking meat at low temperatures over long periods of time. If you are considering the purchase of a smoker, which one should you buy? What are the main features that you would look for in a good smoker? What are the differences between the different smokers available in the market? Should you purchase a gas, electric, charcoal, wood-fired, digital, vertical or dry smoker? Vertical Water Smoker The vertical, water Smoker is the simplest smoker to use. It has a heat source at the bottom and water pan above the heat source. The meat racks are located in the top of the smoker above the water tray. The heat source causes the water to steam thus heating the meat and also providing moisture to prevent the meat from drying."

May 2010Those simple letters, however, represent a vitamin soup, and the recipe is changing. The commonly known Recommended Daily Allowance or RDA was developed during World War II to investigate nutrition issues that might affect our national defense. The times were very different then, and that must be taken into consideration. We were engaged in a World War, our troops spent long periods of time overseas with limited diets and back home there were food shortages and food rationing. / / / The RDA was developed to give both military and civilians a set of recommended nutrients that would not only be healthy, but provide a margin of safety. Since then, the RDA has been expanded to include the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which recommended in the 1950s not only the amount of nutrients we should receive, but the types and amounts of food we would need to get them. Just to make the abbreviations more complicated, the EAR was calculated, which is the Estimated Average Requirement of a nutrient needed to meet the needs of 50 percent of the population. The RDA is generally 20 percent or so higher than that and was thought to meet the needs of 97 percent or more of our population. Recognizing that too much of a good thing can be harmful (like some fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A), an Upper Level or UL was also calculated to indicate those nutrients that might be harmful if taken in excessive amounts."

"text": "Are Vegetarians Healthier Than Non-Vegetarians? Tags:vegetarian The answer is they can be, but aren't always. In general, vegetarian diets are lower in saturated fats, cholesterol and animal protein, and higher in fiber and folate than non-vegetarian diets. Consequently, vegetarians tend to have substantially reduced risks for obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer - particularly lung cancer and colon cancer. In western countries, vegetarians often live longer, on average, than non-vegetarians. However, differences in lifestyle – not just eating habits – also play a huge role in vegetarian health. People who choose to follow a vegetarian diet are often non-smokers, have a lower body weight, and exercise regularly. And, of course, not all vegetarians eat healthily. If a vegetarian replaces meat with high-fat cheeses, junk food and so on, they’re unlikely to reap many health benefits – after all, there’s no meat in ice cream, potato chips, or fudge brownies! It’s certainly possible to be a vegetarian and still consume large quantities of high-fat, high-sugar empty calories."

"text": "How Long To Smoke Ribs Grilling never makes smoked ribs!Grilling and Smoking are only related in terms of heat and meat. Grilling is the use of high, direct, fast heat to cook food to the point of doneness, while low and slow BBQ heat is used to cook it to the point of tenderness. Grilling is convenient and adequate for burgers, steaks, and whatnot, but it cannot compare to smoking for meats (especially ribs) that would be tough any other way. Someone said collagen makes bad meat, but good barbecue. Collagen will never be your friend if you attempt to grill it. It is a 'tough guy' that only breaks down after an extended period of heating. But can't I get smoke flavor from grilling? Maybe a little. Maybe more if you use liquid smoke. ( I'm joking."

While you can smoke well on a grill if you know the tricks, nothing beats a dedicated smoker for succulent low-and-slow smoked ribs, pork, and brisket. According to the 2015 Weber Grill Watch Survey, smoker ownership in America has risen this year to 17%, up from 12%. Check out our article on why you should really own a smoker if you're serious about regularly cooking great barbecue. You don't have to spend $10,000 on a big black submarine as seen on TV. Whether you want to go with wood, charcoal, gas, pellet, or electric, you can choose from a wide variety of smokers for less than $500 that are easy to use and offer great results. While there are many designs and styles, there's one thing they all have in common: You absolutely must forsake the cheap dial temperature indicator (it is not a thermometer, no matter what they call it) included with the unit and use a good digital thermometer instead. Cooking is all about temperature control, and you cannot cook well without one.

"text": "\"My smoking times and temperatures chart for smoking meat is at the bottom of this page. Temperature should always be used to determine when the meat is done cooking rather than the time. I highly recommend a digital probe meat thermometer to monitor the temperature of the meat while it smokes. These thermometers have a probe (s) that stays in the meat while it smokes. The probe is attached to a braided metal wire that runs through the door or an opening to the unit outside of the smoker. The digital probe meat thermometer that I use, the “Smoke” by Thermoworks, allows me to easily set a time as well as a temperature. An alarm goes off if either of these are reached. You can also use an instant digital pocket thermometer such as the Thermo Pop which reads in 3-4 seconds (that's fast), is splash-proof and is being offered now for only $29. One of my favorite toys.. er, tools;-)Below I have put together a list of times and temperatures for smoking meats. Most are only an estimate but should allow you to make a loose plan for dinner time."

"text": "FAQFood Smoking Why is cold smoke so important? Creating smoke without heat is the best way to control the flavour of any food being smoked. In most food smokers, heat is generated by burning wood. As the wood burns from ignition to complete ash, the wood generates heat. At the point where wood is self-consuming, (burns without any heat source) it produces a lot of heat. At this point, there is very little smoke produced, and the temperature within the food or bbq smoker is out of control. A food smoker will produce a far superior tasting food if the temperature and smoke remain at a constant and controlled level. What is the difference between a cold or hot smoked product? Most smoked foods that are produced for resale are first cured, and then cold smoked. Cold smokingis usually done below 100°F or below a temperature that burns or liquefies fat."

On this page I will be posting a series of articles teaching you How to Build a Reverse Flow Smoker. Part-1 What is a Reverse Flow Smoker? A Reverse Flow Smoker is a smoker which utilizes a “Baffle Plate” that is welded in solid in the “Cook Chamber” to control the flow of smoke and heat. First lets cover some basic definitions: Baffle Plate – a plate of solid steel usually one quarter of an inch or greater in thickness which not only controls the flow of smoke and heat through the cook chamber but also absorbs heat and radiates the heat for more even cooking chamber temps. Cook Chamber- this is the space where the meat is actually cooked. The Cook Chamber is after the fire box in the order of flow of the products of combustion. Fire Box – the space where the fire is actually built. Can be square or round in shape depending on the style of the build."

"text": "How Long Will It Keep? : Preserving Meat Written by: Deneese Food 5 Comments Print This Article It doesn’t matter if you’re storing supplies away for winter or for a power outage—knowing how long meat will keep under certain circumstances could be the difference between a balanced or unbalanced diet in uncertain times. Knowing a wide variety of ways to keep meat from spoiling will greatly boost your chances of maintaining your food supply for as long as possible. Consider a few possible ways to prepare meat for storage and how different types of meat will hold up under those conditions. Fresh Meat Besides just leaving your meat out on the table, keeping your meat in a refrigerator is the fastest way for it to spoil. Any kind of fresh meat in the fridge should be eaten within a week, and any meat that is unrefrigerated should be eaten within a day or a few hours, especially if it’s chicken. Raw beef and steaks are best at about three to four days in the fridge, but they can last up to six if you need them to. This doesn’t include ground beef or organs, however; those need to be eaten within two days or you stand a chance of letting them grow some nasty varieties of bacteria. You will know when you’re beef has turned when it looks brown on the outside and is slightly sticky to the touch . If you’re storing food in the refrigerator for a time when you know power will be hard to come by, this isn’t the most reliable or safest method of preserving your fresh meat."

We all know that lungs help us in breathing. Even this simple act requires a lot of energy from our body. If we don't eat well and don't take healthy food, our body will find it difficult to provide that kind of energy for breathing as well as for all its other daily functions. Proper nourishing food should be taken in the right quantity for better health of lungs as this effects the body's metabolism and even the amount of carbon dioxide produced by digestion whose excess can make you feel weak and fatigued.

Each year, the World Cancer Research Fund estimates that some eight million people died from cancer. Heart disease and cancer, the deadly manifestation of chronic inflammation, are expected to remain as the leading causes of death in developed countries for many years to come. But study after study shows that the risk of heart disease and cancer are modifiable by our lifestyle choices which include the food we choose to eat each day. With every bite we take, we’re either balancing the pro- and anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, or tipping the scale to one end. To shift the balance to your favor, other than incorporating more natural anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, it is also equally important to avoid or cut down on foods which are known to promote inflammation. Here, we look at the top ten foods which set the stage for inflammatory diseases:1. Sugars Pro-inflammatory Agent: Excessive sugar intake causes tooth decay and has been linked to increased risks of obesity, inflammation and chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Recently, it has also finally been proven that sugar, as well as dairy, are the causes of acne.

Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Share Tweet Share E-mail Protein is often associated with weight-lifting and building lean muscle, but a diet high in protein can also help us maintain a healthy weight, build and repair muscle tissue, and curb our appetite. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is considered a macronutrient which means we have to consume large amounts to stay healthy. According to the USDA’s Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA), we should take in between 10 to 35 percent of our daily calories from protein sources. Now, if you think the only way you can up your protein intake is by eating more steak and chicken, there are more protein sources in your diet other than meat.1. Eggs Not only are eggs an incredible source of protein, but they also contain several B vitamins responsible for energy, including B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, and folate. A single hard-boiled egg with the yolk will provide you with 6 grams (g) of protein alone. The all-natural, high-quality protein found in eggs is often used as the benchmark for evaluating the protein quality of other foods. Although it is true that eggs are high in cholesterol, they are only high in HDL “good” cholesterol and do not have an unhealthy impact on our cholesterol levels.2. Cottage Cheese With 13g of protein for every 4 ounces (1/2-cup), cottage cheese is an essential component of every gym rat's diet."

"text": "\"Why is nutrition important for someone with advanced chronic kidney disease? A person may prevent or delay some health problems from chronic kidney disease (CKD) by eating the right foods and avoiding foods high in sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Learning about calories, fats, proteins, and fluids is important for a person with advanced CKD. Protein foods such as meat and dairy products break down into waste products that healthy kidneys remove from the blood. As CKD progresses, nutritional needs change. A health care provider may recommend that a patient with reduced kidney function choose foods carefully. What do the kidneys do? The kidneys remove wastes and extra water from the blood and make urine. To keep the body working properly, the kidneys balance the salts and minerals—such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium—that circulate in the blood. The kidneys also release hormones that help make red blood cells, regulate blood pressure, and keep bones strong."

By Mayo Clinic Staff It can be challenging to serve healthy meals when you're trying to save money. Consider serving budget-friendly meatless meals once or twice a week. Meatless meals are built around beans, lentils, vegetables and whole grains. These plant-based proteins tend to be less expensive and offer more health benefits than meat. The health factor A plant-based diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes and nuts, is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. And people who don't eat meat — vegetarians — generally eat fewer calories and less fat, weigh less, and have a lower risk of heart disease than nonvegetarians do. Even reducing meat intake has a protective effect. Research shows that people who eat red meat are at an increased risk of death from heart disease, stroke or diabetes."

In fact, you don’t need any meat at all. Whether you’re a full-blown vegetarian or a longtime carnivore looking to cut back on your meat consumption, these 12 meatless foods are good sources of healthy, high-quality protein. Not to mention, they’re also better for the environment. Quinoa (8 g per cup): Although typically confused with a grain, quinoa is technically a seed—which is why it’s naturally gluten-free and high in fiber. What’s more, this all-star superfood is a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids the body needs for growth and repair. With a subtle nutty flavor and chewy texture, quinoa makes a great substitution for rice or cous cous. Try these quinoa-stuffed peppers for a delectable veggie-friendly meal: Chia (4 grams per 2 tablespoons): Small but mighty, chia seeds are a powerhouse of protein, omega-3s, fiber and minerals. By weight, they are about 14% protein, which is very high by plant food standards. High in water content, chia seeds are also widely touted for suppressing appetite and losing weight."

"text": "Planning a healthy vegetarian diet The key to a healthy vegetarian diet — like any diet — is to include a variety of foods. No single food can provide all the nutrients your body needs. A registered dietitian can help you create a vegetarian diet that's right for you. Healthy vegetarian eating pattern Food group Recommended servings for 2,000-calorie/day diet Source: 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Vegetables2 1/2 cups a day Dark green 1 1/2 cups a week Red and orange 5 1/2 cups a week Legumes (beans and peas) 3 cups a week Starchy 5 cups a week Other 4 cups a week Fruits2 cups a day Grains6 1/2 ounces a day Whole grains ≥ 3 1/2 ounces a day Refined grains ≤ 3 ounces a day Dairy3 cups a day Protein foods3 1/2 ounces a day Seafood Meats, poultry, eggs 3 ounces a week (eggs)Nuts, seeds, soy products 14 ounces a week Oils27 grams a day Added sugars, solid fats, added refined starches No more than 290 calories a day (15% of total calories)Keep in mind that the more restrictive your diet is, the more challenging it can be to get all the nutrients you need. A vegan diet, for example, eliminates natural food sources of vitamin B-12, as well as milk products, which are good sources of calcium. To be sure that your diet includes everything your body needs, pay special attention to the following nutrients: Calcium and vitamin DCalcium helps build and maintain strong teeth and bones. Milk and dairy foods are highest in calcium. However, dark green vegetables, such as turnip and collard greens, kale, and broccoli, are good plant sources when eaten in sufficient quantities. Calcium-enriched and fortified products, including juices, cereals, soy milk, soy yogurt and tofu, are other options. Vitamin D also plays an important role in bone health."

"text": "Cutting Back on Sodium It’s no secret that most Americans are consuming too much sodium. The average American takes in about 3,400 mg of sodium per day. Decreasing the amount of sodium in the diet can help many people lower their blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure also means you are decreasing your risk for heart attack or stroke, both of which are common diabetes complications. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with diabetes aim to have 2300 mg or less per day. If you have high blood pressure, your health care provider may recommend even less. It is estimated that about 75% or more of the sodium Americans eat is from processed, packaged foods. Many companies are slowly trying to lower the amount of sodium in their products, but there is still much work to be done. In general, fresh, unprocessed foods are the lowest sodium foods out there. So, an easy strategy to cut back on sodium is to eat more of these foods and less highly-processed foods."

However, you might need substitutions for cottage cheese if you get tired of eating it, do not like its taste or are unable to consume dairy products. Plenty of healthy substitutions are available. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese A 1/2-cup serving of part-skim ricotta cheese contains 171 calories and 337 milligrams of calcium, or 34 percent of the daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet. A 4-ounce portion of nonfat cottage cheese has 81 calories and 97 milligrams of calcium. Besides being higher in calcium than cottage cheese, ricotta cheese is also lower in sodium, with 123 milligrams per 1/2 cup compared with 420 milligrams in a serving of cottage cheese. Use ricotta cheese as a substitute for cottage cheese in lasagna or spinach pie. Yogurt An 8-ounce container of nonfat plain yogurt contains 127 calories and 452 milligrams of calcium, making it a better source of calcium than cottage cheese. Yogurt is also higher in vitamin B-12 than cottage cheese, providing 1.38 micrograms compared with 0.52 microgram per 4-ounce serving of cottage cheese.

They can be used interchangeably as a substitute for one another. If you're a vegetarian, for example, you can substitute vegetable broth for any meat-based broth called for in a recipe.

For example eating hot dogs with ice cream is not known to take off pounds. What can cause weight loss with this diet is the limited calories consumed throughout the three days. Read more “does the three day military diet really work?”Q: What if I can’t finish all the food for a given day? A: If you feel full than you may want to stop eating. This should be ok, but remember this could cause you to become overly hungry before your next meal. Eating less calories may provide further weight loss depending on the person. Personally, I think you should eat what is on each meal as it states, but if you really are full than I don’t see a problem with not eating everything for a given meal. Remember that day 3 can get tough, you may feel full the first day, but by day 3 you may be glade you ate those extra items."

"text": "Mechanical Watch Water Resistance Mechanical Watch Water Smarts – Understanding Water Resistance Water – and moisture in general – is a mechanical watch movement’s mortal enemy. By understanding the following basic guidelines, and by taking appropriate precautions, you will help to ensure that your mechanical watch continues to run smoothly and avoid expensive trips to the repair center. When in doubt, ask a certified watchmaker or contact Gevril Group Watch Repair Services. Water Resistant vs. Waterproof No watch is completely waterproof. Most mechanical watches have water-resistance ratings that prescribe a maximum immersion depth. This depth is measured in feet, meters or atmospheres (ATM), where one ATM is approximately 33 feet or 10 meters. Swimming with a Water Resistant Watch It is generally accepted that you should not swim while wearing a mechanical watch with a water-resistance rating below 330 feet/100 meters/10 ATM. While this may seem like overkill (most people are never going so far underwater), this minimum level of water resistance means a watch is designed with sufficient safeguards to keep water out while participating in low-impact aquatic activities such as swimming. Never operate the crown or pushers underwater and, if you wear a water-resistant watch into the ocean or a chlorinated pool, rinse it afterward in clean water to remove the salt or chemicals. If you dive, or participate in more demanding water sports, look for a watch that can go even deeper –- some dive watches have water-resistance ratings in the thousands of feet."

"text": "\"How to tell when your Seiko watch was made (Part 1)Posted by Quartzimodo Admin September 21, 2010So, you’ve just purchased a used or new Seiko watch. Congratulations! Have you ever wondered when your watch rolled off the assembly line at the factory? In other words, when was it manufactured? Questions relating to the production date of Seikos frequently pop up in various watch forums from time to time. Well, in case you didn’t know this, the answer to this question actually lies in the set of numbers that are etched or printed on every Seiko watch made. Chances are if you ask watch store assistants when that particular Seiko watch you’re interested in buying was made, you’ll get a blank expression from them. Either that, or they’ll come up with an excuse for not knowing by saying that it’s a new arrival (yeah, right! ) You can’t really blame them for not knowing because watch sellers are in the business of selling watches, period. From my experience many Seiko dealers aren’t watch enthusiasts themselves."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Crystal oscillator A miniature 16 MHz quartz crystal enclosed in a hermetically sealed HC-49/S package, used as the resonator in a crystal oscillator. Type Electromechanical Working principle Piezoelectricity, Resonance Invented Alexander M. Nicholson, Walter Guyton Cady First production 1918Electronic symbol A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a precise frequency. [ 1] [2] [3] This frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits incorporating them became known as crystal oscillators, [1] but other piezoelectric materials including polycrystalline ceramics are used in similar circuits. A crystal oscillator, particularly one made of quartz crystal, works by being distorted by an electric field when voltage is applied to an electrode near or on the crystal. This property is known as electrostriction or inverse piezoelectricity. When the field is removed, the quartz - which oscillates in a precise frequency - generates an electric field as it returns to its previous shape, and this can generate a voltage. The result is that a quartz crystal behaves like an RLC circuit. Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually."

The round feature on the watch case side at 9 o'clock is an integrated helium release valve. Uses Monitoring dive time by the diver A diving watch, also commonly referred to as a diver's or dive watch, is a watch designed for underwater diving that features, as a minimum, a water resistance greater than 1.0 MPa (10 atm), the equivalent of 100 m (330 ft). The typical diver's watch will have a water resistance of around 200 to 300 m (660 to 980 ft), though modern technology allows the creation of diving watches that can go much deeper. A true contemporary diver's watch is in accordance with the ISO 6425 standard, which defines test standards and features for watches suitable for diving with underwater breathing apparatus in depths of 100 m (330 ft) or more. Watches conforming to ISO 6425 are marked with the word DIVER'S to distinguish ISO 6425 conformant diving watches from watches that might not be suitable for actual scuba diving. To a large extent the diver's watch has been superseded by the personal dive computer, which provides an automatically initiated dive timer function along with real-time decompression computation and optionally other functions.

In the 19th century water and dust resistant watches were usually one-off pieces custom made for a particular customer and described as \"\"Explorer's Watches\"\". Hard hat divers of that period sometimes placed common pocketwatches on the inside of their helmets in order to know the time spent under water. ["

"text": "\"Featured Articles Recommended Use: Understanding The Durability Of Your Mechanical Watch And When To Take It Off Aug 17, 2014 — By Ariel Adams 77 Comments Share this article L uxury watch durability is an important issue to both consumers and retailers. People who spend money on expensive watches have a certain expectation of strength and durability, and those expectations aren't always met. We are talking about the type of activity a timepiece is designed for and when it is likely to break. In short, there is an educational and informational problem in the watch industry surrounding the issue of explaining to customers when wearing their new high-end watch is a good or bad idea. I recall a few months ago leading a seminar about watches to a group of retailers. A few jewelry and watch retailers began to complain that watch brands don't do enough to tell customers what is and is not appropriate when it comes to how to wear their watches. It seemed that people would go rock climbing with their new Patek Philippe or Swimming with their new Chopard dress watch. The consumers would then angrily return to the store complaining that their new \"\"incredibly expensive watch\"\" was breaking too easily and that this was not acceptable. Warranties did not apply when it was found that a Patek Philippe watch was dropped from 50 feet or that a watch with a water resistance of 30 meters was taken swimming. Sporty looks often conceal delicate mechanisms: pictured here is a Chopard LUC perpetual calendar module removed from the base movement Considering the issue, I feel that the retailers had a good point."

And they vary based on durability and practicality. I will start with weakest and finish with strongest…I’ve added rough estimated hardness values based on Vickers scale for each crystal type per user request. Acrylic crystal (>20 Vickers)Acrylic crystal is basically a fancy name for clear plastic glass (plexiglass if you want). It is by far the cheapest and lightest and nearly impossible to shatter. But is very weak against scratches. Every metal object will leave a mark on it, so be very careful with such types of crystals. Acrylic crystals are very common on dive watches because you can’t shatter them and potentially destroy the whole watch if the water comes in. If you damage it, it’s cheaper to replace the crystal than to buy a new watch because the last one drowned…On the other hand, acrylic crystal has one unique capability. It can be polished to remove tiny scratches."

For a watch to still be water resistant the seals and gaskets should be replaced periodically. This is usually best done when replacing the battery or when ever any work is carried out on the watch. The rubber gaskets that seal the case back, crystal, crown or pushers will inevitably deteriorate with time. Thus water resistance is not a permanent condition. When removing case backs, the case back gaskets often break or stretch and should always be replaced to guarantee water resistance. The only safe way to know if a watch is water resistant is to test it in specially designed vacume or pressure test equipment. When resealing a Citizen watch the movement is removed and all case components stripped down as far as possible."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry Why does increasing the pressure of water raise the boiling point? I don't quite grasp it, why would an increase in pressure raise the boiling point? Mountaineers have trouble cooking at high altitudes because the boiling point of water is lower, but surely that would just mean the water gets hotter faster, and thus their food? Update: If you were to pressurise water as it was, from one atmosphere, pressurise it, and then rapidly depressurise it, would the temperature of the water remain the same, or would the energy from the pressurising turn into heat energy, thus raising the temperature of the water at 1 atm? Update 2: \"\"Obviously, 2 people know nothing about Vapour Pressure and its cause at Equilibrium with Temperature.\"\" As I've never worked in Heat Exchange Operations, I don't know much about vapourisation and pressurisation, hence why I'd ask a question on it; because I don't already know the... show more1 following 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: think about it this way... when water heats up the molecules move faster and faster and move farther apart - eventually becoming steam. when you increase the pressure on the water you are in a way holding the molecules together more tightly. This helps keep them from moving apart so it requires more heat to get them to \"\"break free\"\" and move apart. So, the higher the water pressure the higher the boiling point. edit - if you pressurize water, heat it then rapidly then depressurize it the Temperature would not change, but it would become volatile and turn to \"\"superheated steam\"\" since under pressure water can remain a liquid beyond it's boiling point."

Thankfully, he has decided to share his thoughts along with many pictures with the world, so we can all feast our eyes on this much-awaited, droolworthy Android Wear watch. And from the looks of it, the Moto 360 won't disappoint. The most interesting pictures show the Moto 360's charging dock. It's a bit reminiscent of the Nexus 4's wireless charger in that it has a slightly round shape and places the watch vertically at an inclined angle. We can't tell if the 360 will be held by magnets or by simply sliding through that small opening at the bottom of the dock. What we can see, however, is that the Moto 360's charging interface is strikingly beautiful but the lower dimple on the screen (now appearing on the left) cuts the circle in an odd way. They should have designed the interface to account for the lack of a perfect circle on the screen. Sigh."

Dial and Hands: You have got to love the wave pattern on the Seamaster (at least I do); I think it gives the watch another dimension, particularly with the \"\"Electric Blue\"\" colouring. It can appear as a brilliant bright blue or a much darker, almost black blue depending on how the light hits the dial. I must admit that initially I was slightly disappointed that the Planet Ocean didn't have such a pattern on it. Nevertheless the matte black dial is very legible, with the applied hour markers producing a slight sparkle."

If the disability lasts longer than four weeks, you may qualify for a benefit paid directly by the short-term disability carrier, which is equal to the New York State disability benefit amount of 50 percent of your weekly pay up to a maximum of $170 per week. If you have one or more years of service, you are eligible to receive your pre-disability pay for the duration of a disability up to a maximum of 26 weeks with certification by your physician and the approval of the short-term disability carrier. Your wage replacement amount will not exceed your base rate of pay. Any payments received directly from the short-term disability carrier will be offset against your university paid wage replacement. Any short-term disability leave will run concurrently with leave qualified under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), if eligible. For more information or to apply for short-term disability benefits, contact the Benefits Department at 212.229.5671 x4942. If you do not return from an approved short-term disability leave or if you do not return upon the expiration of the maximum allowable approved short-term disability period, your employment with The New School may be terminated."

Answered May 14, 2016 · Upvoted by Cliff Gilley, JD cum laude, Seattle University Class of 2000 · Author has 7.5k answers and 36m answer views Employers may provide paid leave in their discretion in whatever amount and under whatever terms as they see fit. All FMLA guarantees is that if you take a leave of absence (whether paid or not) due to an event covered by FMLA, your employer is required to allow you to return to work without being demoted or transferred to another location and without any loss of pay or medical benefits going forward, upon the conclusion of that leave, provided the total amount of leave does not exceed the time (twelve weeks in most cases, twenty-six weeks in certain cases involving members of the armed forces) allowed by FMLA. Employers must maintain the health coverage of the employee during leave, although the employee may be required to pay the employee’s portion of the insurance premium during unpaid leave. An employer may require you to use up paid leave available to you (such as PTO, sick time, or maternity leave, if specifically offered) before affording you unpaid leave. The FMLA time limit starts at the time the employee stops working, not at the time the employee stops being paid, so if you take three weeks of paid leave and six weeks of short-term disability under an optional insurance plan, you only get three weeks of unpaid leave before the FMLA eligibility runs out and your employer is no longer required to allow you to return to work without consequences or maintain your medical insurance. Employers are free to provide leave on terms more generous than those required by FMLA."

As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will now be able to extend certain benefits to Federal employees and annuitants who have legally married a spouse of the same sex, regardless of the employee’s or annuitant’s state of residency. OPM is currently in the process of updating and revising the website to reflect this change, and will be updating this information as soon as possible. Please check back in the coming weeks for updates. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), most Federal employees are entitled to a total of up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for the following purposes:the birth of a son or daughter of the employee and the care of such son or daughter;the placement of a son or daughter with the employee for adoption or foster care;the care of spouse, son, daughter, or parent of the employee who has a serious health condition; ora serious health condition of the employee that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her positions.any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the spouse, or a son, daughter, or parent of the employee is on covered active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to covered active duty) in the Armed Forces. Under certain conditions, an employee may use the 12 weeks of FMLA leave intermittently. An employee may elect to substitute annual leave and/or sick leave, consistent with current laws and OPM's regulations for using annual and sick leave, for any unpaid leave under the FMLA. ( The amount of sick leave that may be used to care for a family member is limited. See Sick Leave to Care for a Family Member with a Serious Health Condition .)

"text": "Paid Leave in the States A Critical Support for Low-wage Workers and Their Families Author: Sarah Fass Publication Date: March 2009Download PDF | Print | Email Introduction Millions of working families experience a day-to-day struggle to make ends meet – nearly 40% of America’s children live in low-income families. 1 When these families experience a major life event, such as having a baby or taking care of a family member with a serious illness, their already fragile financial situation can be further jeopardized. With recent social and demographic shifts – including the increased participation of women in the labor force and the aging of the population – balancing work obligations with family responsibilities has become more and more challenging for all families. Low-wage workers can find this balancing act especially difficult as they are more likely to work in jobs with few benefits and limited flexibility and they have fewer financial resources at their disposal. 2 Everyone loses when families are forced to make tough compromises, and consequences for children’s healthy development can be especially troubling. Current public policies in the United States do not adequately support workers striving to meet the obligations of work and family. For instance, the U. S. is one of four nations that do not guarantee paid time-off to new mothers; the other countries that similarly provide no guarantee are Liberia, Papua New Guinea, and Swaziland. 3 The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave from employment for major life events, but coverage is far from universal, and many cannot afford to take time-off from work without pay. Low-wage workers, in particular, would benefit from expanded paid leave policies, as they are less likely to be covered by the federal policy and are in greater need of pay during time-off from work for major life events. A handful of states have enacted policies that provide partially paid leave under certain circumstances."

"text": "Everything you need to know about leave André Claassen Annual l eave entitlement The Act states that the provisions for annual leave do not apply to an employee who works less than 24 hours per month for an employer, and also these provisions do not apply to leave granted to an employee in excess of the entitlement allowed in terms of the BCEA. An annual leave cycle is a period of 12 months with the same employer, calculated from the employee's commencement of employment, or from the completion of that employees previous leave cycle. The entitlement is 21 consecutive days annual leave on full remuneration, in respect of each annual leave cycle, and if an employee works a five-day week then this is equal to 15 working days, or if the employee works a six-day week then it is equal to 18 working days. In other words, whatever number of working days falls within the 21 consecutive days, is the number of working days on full pay that the employee must be granted for annual leave purposes. Calculation of accrual of leave – 1,25 days per month or 1,5 days per month. If the employee is working a five-day week, then the annual leave will accrue at the rate of 1,25 days per month, and if the employee is working a six-day week then the annual leave will accrue at the rate are of 1,5 days per month. Calculation of accrual of annual leave – 1 hour for every 17 hours worked . An alternative method of calculating annual leave has been provided for in the Act, and it would seem that the intention of the legislator, in providing this alternative method of calculation, was to provide for an easy means of calculating the annual leave for temporary employees, or fixed term employees. This method makes provision that the annual leave may be calculated on the basis of one hour of annual leave on full remuneration for every 17 hours on which the employee worked, or was entitled to be paid, or it can be calculated on the basis of one day annual leave on full remuneration for every 17 days on which the employee worked or was entitled to be paid. This method of accrual may only be applied by agreement with the employee."

"text": "Deductions from pay may be made when an exempt employee is absent from work for one or more full days for personal reasons, other than sickness or disability. Thus, if an employee is absent for two full days to handle personal affairs, the employee's salaried status will not be affected if deductions are made from the salary for two full-day absences. However, if an exempt employee is absent for one and a half days for personal reasons, the employer can deduct only for the one full-day absence. Deductions from pay may be made for absences of one or more full days occasioned by sickness or disability (including work-related accidents) if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy or practice of providing compensation for loss of salary occasioned by such sickness or disability. The employer is not required to pay any portion of the employee's salary for full-day absences for which the employee receives compensation under the plan, policy or practice. Deductions for such full-day absences also may be made before the employee has qualified under the plan, policy or practice, and after the employee has exhausted the leave allowance thereunder. Thus, for example, if an employer maintains a short-term disability insurance plan providing salary replacement for 12 weeks starting on the fourth day of absence, the employer may make deductions from pay for the three days of absence before the employee qualifies for benefits under the plan; for the twelve weeks in which the employee receives salary replacement benefits under the plan; and for absences after the employee has exhausted the 12 weeks of salary replacement benefits. Similarly, an employer may make deductions from pay for absences of one or more full days if salary replacement benefits are provided under a State disability insurance law or under a State workers' compensation law. While an employer cannot make deductions from pay for absences of an exempt employee occasioned by jury duty, attendance as a witness, or temporary military leave, the employer can offset any amounts received by an employee as jury fees, witness fees, or military pay for a particular week against the salary due for that particular week without loss of the exemption. Deductions from pay of exempt employees may be made for penalties imposed in good faith for infractions of safety rules of major significance."

If your employee is a prospective mother or father living in Michigan, they won’t be covered by a state maternity leave law. Instead, they’ll be provided with leave under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, a law that covers all of the 39 states that do not have their own laws. Thanks to the Family Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, they have a right to as much as 12 weeks of unpaid leave yearly. They must qualify by working a certain number of hours in the past 52 weeks at a certain wage level. They must also be working for a business with 50 or more workers within 75 miles. Another source of protection is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Under the PDA, if employers provide any other kinds of leave benefits, they must provide the same level of benefits for maternity leave. But if they offer no other kinds of leave benefits, then they are not required to offer maternity leave. The U. S. Labor Department says 39 of the 50 states have no significant maternity leave or short-term disability regulations, but rely on the FMLA for either childbirth leave or leaves for all other types of medical and family circumstances."

B., Managing Editor at HRinfodesk.com---Canadian Payroll and Employment Law News, December 2007P aid sick leave (PSL) is an optional benefit employers may grant to employees. Several employers address the issue of periodic absence from work due to ill health by providing employees with a limited number of paid days off per year often referred to as sick days. This type of plan is usually found in workplace policies or collective agreements. However, some provinces and territories require employers to provide unpaid sick leave. Legal requirements Eight of Canada's 14 jurisdictions require employers to provide unpaid sick leave. And they are: the federal jurisdiction, Quebec, Yukon, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan. In Ontario employers are not required to provide unpaid or paid sick leave, or paid benefit plans for sickness to employees. However, employees who work for employers that regularly employ at least 50 employees or more are entitled to unpaid personal emergency leave in certain situations under the Employment Standards Act, which includes for the employee's illness.

By Jerry Kronenberg Posted : January 24, 2018No one wants to be ill, but at least Uncle Sam gives Americans a little relief in the form of federal income-tax deductions for medical expenses. Let Insurance.com help you find affordable health insurance now. \"\" Medical bills can be a huge expense, so the Internal Revenue Service gives people a break so they can recoup some of that money,\"\" says Lisa Greene-Lewis, a certified public accountant with Turbo Tax. But who can deduct what can be complicated, and experts say few taxpayers fully understand the rules. Here's a look at the basics of deducting medical expenses from your federal income taxes. Consult your tax adviser for specifics regarding your personal situation. Who qualifies for medical-expense tax deductions? The Internal Revenue Code includes two important rules that can limit who truly qualifies for relief from medical expenses: You must generally itemize deductions on Form 1040 Schedule A rather than take the \"\"standard deduction\"\" if you want a break on medical expenses. If what you plan to deduct for everything (from medical bills to mortgage interest) adds up to less than the standard deduction ($6,350 for singles, $9,350 for heads of household and $12,700 for married joint filers for tax year 2017), there's no point in itemizing."

It enables you to set aside money from your paycheck pre-tax into a savings account used for eligible expenses and have the interest grow tax-free. 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. HSA funds can be used for eligible expenses until the deductible has been met."

"text": "The Cost of Insurance In the expansive and often confusing world of health insurance, a lot of terms are tossed about. These words may be confusing to a first-time health insurance buyer or anyone trying to understand how health insurance works. In order to make the best choices for you, it’s important you understand the terms that affect how much money you must pay every month, and how much you pay when you use the insurance. Definition What Are Health Insurance Deductibles? A health insurance deductible is a specified amount or capped limit you must pay first before your insurance will begin paying your medical costs. For example, if you have a $1000 deductible, you must first pay $1000 out of your pocket before your insurance will cover any of the expenses from a medical visit. It may take you several months or just one visit to reach that deductible amount. You will pay your deductible payment directly to your medical provider. If you incur a $700 charge at the emergency room and a $300 charge at the dermatologist, you will pay $700 directly to the hospital and $300 directly to the dermatologist. You do not pay your deductible to your insurance company."

Here’s the story on health-insurance premiums that you can potentially deduct on your 2014 return. Deductible medical expenses As an individual taxpayer, you can potentially claim an itemized deduction for qualified medical expenses, including health-insurance premiums. However, to actually claim a deduction on your 2014 return, your total qualified expenses, including eligible health insurance premiums, must exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) or 7.5% of AGI if you, or your spouse if you are married, was age 65 or older as of Dec. 31, 2014. AGI is the number at the bottom of the first page of your Form 1040; it includes all taxable income items and selected deductions such as alimony paid, student loan interest (up to $2,500), and moving expenses. If your total qualified medical expenses don’t exceed the applicable percent-of-AGI threshold, you get no write-off. Sorry. That’s why it’s important to identify all qualified expenses that you can throw in the pot, including health-insurance premiums. General rule for deductible health-insurance premiums In the medical expense pot, you can include premiums for health policies that cover doctors and hospitals (so-called major medical coverage), dental care, vision care, and specialized health policies that cover things like accidents and cancer. You cannot deduct premiums for insurance that cover loss of limbs or loss of earnings due to illness or injury."

"text": "wage expense Recording Payroll and Payroll Liabilities In the previous post, we defined and calculated gross pay, payroll taxes, and net pay. In this post, we will discuss how to record the paycheck and the employer taxes. You might be wondering why this is in the liabilities section of the course. So far we have discussed wage and salaries expense and payroll tax expense. How are liabilities involved? Once you write the check for $371.28 and you have withheld taxes, those taxes that you have withheld from the check are due to the government. Those taxes represent a liability to the company because the company has an obligation to pay those taxes on behalf of the employee. Also once the employee is paid, the employer has the obligation to pay the employer portion of the taxes. Because of these obligations, this is why you typically see these topics covered in the liabilities section of your accounting textbook. Let’s look at what we calculated in the previous post."

If you have employees who receive cash tips from your customers, the tips may constitute taxable wages for payroll tax purposes. This designation subjects you as an employer to additional payroll tax withholding, reporting and payment requirements. The first step is to define what constitutes a \"\"tip\"\". Tips are defined as payments that customers make without compulsion. Customers should have the unrestricted right to determine the amount of their tips. That is, the amount shouldn't be subject to negotiation or dictated by your own policy. If this isn't the case, the so-called tips may in fact be service charges. Example You own and operate J & M's restaurant, and you do not permit direct tipping."

By Grace Ferguson - Updated October 17, 2017Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images Some employment taxes, such as the federal unemployment tax, are paid by the employer. Some, including California’s disability insurance tax, are paid by the employee. Others are paid by employer and employee; employers, for example, contribute a specific amount toward employees’ Social Security and Medicare tax liabilities. Depending on the state, the employer and employee also pay state unemployment tax. Social Security Tax The Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA, governs Social Security tax. Employers, employees and self-employed people must pay into the Social Security system, which provides retirement, beneficiary and disability benefits to eligible individuals. The taxes collected for Social Security go into a trust fund from which monthly benefits are paid. Usually, the employer and the employee pay the same amount for Social Security tax, but there have been exceptions. For example, the employee rate in 2011 and 2012 was 4.2 percent."

The Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA, imposes Social Security and Medicare taxes on employers, employees and the self-employed. Your employer is supposed to withhold FICA taxes from your paychecks according to the amount the federal government mandates each year. With the right formula, you can figure whether your employer is taking too much FICA out of your wages. Resources You may obtain FICA rates for the respective tax year via Internal Revenue Service Circular E or on the Social Security Administration website. If your employer includes year-to-date information on your pay stubs, the amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from your paychecks so far for the year should be shown. In this case, all you need are the tax rates to figure whether the correct amounts were withheld. If you don’t have pay stubs, you can still determine the amounts. Social Security Calculation At the time of publication, your employer is supposed to withhold Social Security tax at 4.2 percent of taxable wages up to $110,100 for the year. So, if you pay Social Security tax on more than $110,100 for the year, over-withholding has occurred."

"text": "What Are Gross Wages? By Michele Bossart on January 26, 2015Gross pay, also known as gross wages, is what attracts many people to a job. They see the advertised salary or hourly pay and think of everything they could do with that income. However, when they receive a paycheck, they realize that they didn’t take into account the difference in gross wages vs. net wages. Gross wages are the total amount an employee is paid before any taxes, deductions, insurance premiums, and other payroll withholding. In fact, a person’s take-home pay may be significantly less than their gross wages. Determining gross wages An employee can figure gross wages in several ways. If the employee is salaried, their gross wage is the amount of their annual salary. If the employee is compensated hourly, their gross wage can be determined by multiplying the number of hours they work in a regular work week or pay period by the amount of their hourly wage. It’s possible this annual wage and the amount of money an employee earns will be slightly different due to taking unpaid vacations, working overtime, etc."

This article is part of a series on Taxation in the United States of America Federal taxation [show]State and local taxation [show]Federal tax reform [show]United States portalv t e The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax ( / ˈ f aɪ k ə /) is a United States federal payroll (or employment) tax [1] imposed on both employees and employers to fund Social Security and Medicare [2] —federal programs that provide benefits for retirees, disabled people, and children of deceased workers. The tax also provides funds to the health care system for institutions that provide healthcare for workers that do not have health insurance and cannot afford healthcare treatment. Because the tax falls exclusively on wages and not on physical or financial capital, payroll taxes may lead to underinvestment in human capital such as higher education. [ 3] Social Security benefits include old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI); Medicare provides hospital insurance benefits for the elderly. The amount that one pays in payroll taxes throughout one's working career is associated indirectly with the social security benefits annuity that one receives as a retiree. [ 4] Consequently, Kevin Hassett wrote that FICA is not a tax because its collection is directly tied to benefits that one is entitled to collect later in life. [ 5] The United States Supreme Court decided in Flemming v. Nestor (1960) that no one has an accrued property right to benefits from Social Security. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act is currently codified at Title 26, Subtitle C, Chapter 21 of the United States Code. ["

"text": "\"How to Calculate Medicare Wagesby Grace Ferguson; Updated September 26, 2017An employer is legally required to withhold Medicare tax from employee wages. The employee is exempt from withholding only if an exception applies, such as if she works for a university at which she is also a student. Unlike federal income tax, which depends on varying factors such as the employee’s filing status and allowances, Medicare tax is based on a flat percentage of wages. Furthermore, unlike Social Security tax, which has an annual wage limit, Medicare has none. To determine the amount of Medicare tax an employee should pay, you must first figure the wages. Step 1Determine whether the employee has voluntary pretax deductions. These are deductions the employer offers and the employee accepts. Pretax deductions are those that meet the requirements of IRS Section 125 code, such as a traditional 401k plan, a Section 125 medical or dental plan or a flexible spending account. Step 2Subtract applicable pretax deductions from the employee’s gross pay – earnings before deductions – to arrive at Medicare wages. This process gives the employee a tax break since it reduces the amount of wages subject to Medicare tax."

The minimal legal burdens for an employer related to payroll are social security tax, Medicare tax, federal unemployment tax and state unemployment tax. To calculate payroll burdens, you must know the current rates for each applicable tax. Employers who provide various benefits to their employees, such as matching 401k funds, must record those costs as part of the payroll burdens as well. The Cost of Payroll The records you keep for each employee tell your their rates of pay. Their rates are multiplied by their hours worked to arrive at their gross pay -- which is the amount of pay before you withhold any required payments. This gross pay amount is the wage portion of your payroll burden. Any amounts you withhold from the employees' wages and pay to the government on their behalf are considered debts of your business until you pay them, but they do not increase this expense for you. The legally required taxes you pay as a result of issuing payroll checks are also part of your payroll expense. At minimum, you will have social security, Medicare, federal unemployment, and state unemployment taxes to handle."

Meerkat coats can be gold, silver, orange or brown with dark patches of fur around the eyes. Meerkats are small animals, measuring 9.75 to 11.75 inches (25 to 30 centimeters) from head to rump. Their tails add another 7.5 to 9.5 inches (19 to 24 cm) to their length. At less than 2.2 lbs. ( 1 kilogram), a meerkat weighs about the same as a squirrel. Where do meerkats live?

Some species lead solitary lives, while others engage in communal behaviors, benefiting from group defense and foraging. Their diets are richly varied and mongooses are known for their hunting skills. Physical Characteristics All species of mongoose are long and thin, somewhat similar to weasels, with short legs and pointed snouts. The smallest species of African mongoose -- the dwarf mongoose -- is just 7 inches in length, while the Egyptian mongoose is the largest at nearly 2 feet. Their tails are long as well, measuring from 6 to 21 inches. A mongoose’s fur coloration also varies by species, with some solid brown or gray and some with stripes on their bodies, like the banded mongoose, or tails, like the Malagasy ring-tailed mongoose. Behavior Some species of mongoose, such as the meerkat and the banded mongoose, live in large social groups of up to 30 or 40 individuals.

"text": "Alternative Title: Carnivora Carnivore, any member of the mammalian order Carnivora (literally, “flesh devourers” in Latin), comprising more than 270 species. In a more general sense, a carnivore is any animal (or plant; seecarnivorous plant) that eats other animals, as opposed to a herbivore, which eats plants. Although the species classified in this order are basically meat eaters, a substantial number of them, especially among bears and members of the raccoon family, also feed extensively on vegetation and are thus actually omnivorous.snow leopard ( Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia)Adult snow leopards ( Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia) can grow to a length of about 2.1 metres (7 feet) from head to tail and weigh 23–41 kg (50–90 pounds). Russ Kinne/Comstock The order Carnivora includes 12 families, 9 of which live on land: Canidae ( dogs and related species), Felidae (cats), Ursidae ( bear s), Procyonidae ( raccoon s and related species), Mustelidae ( weasel s, badger s, otter s, and related species), Mephitidae ( skunk s and stink badgers), Herpestidae ( mongoose s), Viverridae ( civet s, genet s, and related species), and Hyaenidae ( hyena s). There are three aquatic families: Otariidae ( sea lion s and fur seal s), Phocidae (true, or earless, seal s), and Odobenidae (the walrus ). These aquatic families are referred to as pinniped s. Lions ( Panthera leo) engaging in various activities such as hunting, eating, grooming, and sleeping. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Importance of Carnivora Two carnivores are probably the animals most familiar to people: the domestic dog and cat, which are both derived from wild members of this order. On the other hand, various bears, felines, canines, and hyenas are among the few animals that occasionally attack humans. These large, dangerous carnivores are often the objects of hunters, who kill them for display as trophies. Most luxurious natural furs ( ermine, mink, sable, and otter, among others) come from members of Carnivora, as do many of the animals that attract the largest crowds at circuses and zoos."

And yes - the plural of mongoose is mongooses - not mongeese!Feliforms and caniforms have significant differences in skull structure among other things, and are classified based on these complex, skeletal criteria. So the mongoose, which shares ancient ancestors with cats, is actually most closely related to the civet, and is in the same superfamily as the hyena and the leopard. Simply put, the mongoose is not a weasel. The meerkat, however, is a mongoose, but since it is such a popular little animal and is in its own genus, you can read about it here - Meerkat Facts . Most mongoose species are highly social animals living in busy groups of 6 to 40 individuals called \"\"packs\"\" or \"\"mobs\"\". Some particularly gregarious species like the Gambian mongoose may live in packs of 50 or more. These groups may be lead by an alpha male and female who are often the only two individuals who mate and reproduce. Some mongoose species live in a cooperative society where each member of the pack has a specific job and subsequent duties. Some are hunters, some stay behind and \"\"baby sit\"\"."

Sometimes, where a hole may hide a rich reward, such as geckos, two meerkats may join forces. With their excellent sense of smell meerkats can find food even when they are hiding underground! They have a home of four square miles hunting a different area each day. Each meerkat must find its own food, but they may share the task of capturing and eating a large prey item. Meerkats are known for their daring diet in which they are able to kill and eat venomous snakes and scorpions without getting hurt! They are immune to the venom. Also, meerkats are able to survive without drinking water because they get the moisture that they need through eating roots, tubers, or fruits. Meerkats mostly feed on things from the ground like insects, grubs, spiders, and millipedes."

Meerkats can be found in arid plains and desert-like regions of these countries. Here they endure harsh conditions, such as lack of rain and high temperatures at certain times of the year. Meerkats live in underground tunnel networks that they have either dug or inhabited from previous animals. These tunnel networks offer them protection from predators, as well as from the hot sun. Diet Meerkats feed primarily on insects, but also eat lizards, eggs, rodents and scorpions. Meerkats have an immunity to scorpions' stings. While a group of meerkats (often called a mob) is foraging for food, one or more meerkats will stand on its hind legs and watch for danger. Size and Description Meerkats are members of the mongoose family \"\"Herpestidae\"\", most of whom also live in Africa.

It was chartered by the state in 1859, though the opening was delayed due to the Civil War. The zoo was officially opened on July 1, 1874, and since opening, it has become one of the premier breeding facilities in the world. It is especially known as a breeding facility for animals that are hard to breed in captivity. Today, the zoo covers 42 acres and has more than 1300 animals. There are around 300 different species represented at the Philadelphia Zoo. The animals are divided into habitats, include the African Plains, Australia, Bear Country, Bird Valley, Carnivore Kingdom, Monkey Junction, the Pachyderm House, The Reptile and Amphibian House, the Small Mammal House, and the Tortoise Trail. Some of the animals in these areas include gazelles, storks, cranes, cheetahs, kangaroos, flamingos, penguins, spider monkeys, elephants, prairie dogs, Galapagos tortoises, meerkats, vampire bats, alligator snapping turtles, gila monsters, Chinese alligators, anacondas, tree frogs, red pandas, and giant otters. In addition, the Philadelphia Zoo has an extensive Children's Zoo, which opened in 1938. The Children's Zoo has a number of animals, such as the domestic rabbit, which children can pet."

It has highly developed senses of smell, vision, and hearing, and may sometimes be seen standing up on its hind legs, alert to danger. When a meerkat spots a predator, it will sound an alarm call to warn the others of the colony.. The meerkat has a long non-retractable, strong, 2 cm long, curved claw on the end of the meerkats fingers which the meerkat uses for digging underground burrows and the meerkats also use these claws for digging for prey. Meerkats have four toes on each foot and long slender limbs which along with the meekats curved claws helps the meerkat to climb trees when the meerkat needs to. The meerkats coat is usually fawn-coloured peppered with gray, tan, or brown with a silver tint."

Their tail is 17 - 25 cms (6.5 - 10 inches) long and they use this as a tripod to balance on when they stand in an upright position. Their ears are closeable to prevent sand from getting in them when they are digging and their feet have four toes with 2 cms (0.8 inch) non-retractable claws. Their coat is usually fawn coloured with brown, tan or grey flacks. They have stripes across their backs and the pattern of these stripes is unique to each animal. The underside of the Meerkat has no markings and is sparsely furred showing dark skin underneath. They use this to absorb heat and warm up in the early morning sun.

In the US, particularly in the Midwest and South, it is a slang but not offensive noun meaning \"\"small critter. \"\" The term is used in the vernacular British English, Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English, Indian English, Pakistani English, Canadian English, Caribbean English, Malaysian English and in Sri Lankan English.

Bugger—also bowgard, bouguer (ancient French – bougre ): from Latin – Bulgarus, a name given to a sect of heretics who were thought to have come from Bulgaria in the 11th century, after other \"\"heretics\"\" to whom abominable practices were imputed in an abusively disparaging manner. [ 1]History [ edit]The term is thought to have started around the early 13th century, after Pope Innocent III and the northern French kingdom went on the Albigensian crusade in southern France, which led to the slaughter of about 20,000 men, [2] women and children, Cathar and Catholic alike and brought the region firmly under the control of the King of France. The brutal crusade was directed not only against heretical Christians, but also against the nobility of Toulouse and vassals of the Crown of Aragon. ["

[ 1]Though Melanesian settlement is recorded on Grande Terre's Presqu'île de Foué as far back as the Lapita culture, the origin of Kanak people is unclear. Ethnographic research has shown that Polynesian seafarers have intermarried with the Kanaks over the centuries. [ 2] [3] The Kanaks refer to the European inhabitants of New Caledonia as Caldoches. New Caledonia was annexed to France in 1853, and became an overseas territory of France in 1956. An independence movement led to a failed revolt in 1967, and was restarted in 1984, pursuing total independence status from the French rule. When the 1988 Matignon agreements were signed between the representatives of France and New Caledonia to decide on holding the referendum for independence, Jean-Marie Tjibaou, the Kanak leader of the independence movement, had mooted a proposal to set up an Agency for the Development of Kanak Culture (ADCK)."

Advocates of African socialism claimed that it was not the opposite of capitalism nor a response to it, but something completely different. [ who? ] Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Modibo Keita of Mali, Léopold Senghor of Senegal, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Sékou Touré of Guinea, were the main architects of African Socialism according to William H.

[ 3] Senghor claimed that \"\"Africa’s social background of tribal community life not only makes socialism natural to Africa but excludes the validity of the theory of class struggle,\"\" thus making African socialism, in all of its variations, different from Marxism and European socialist theory .

There are lots to examine, and I’ll make it simple: I’ll explain the differences from their art form, their technology, their religion/belief system, as well as their distribution. Visual art form Melanesian mask (picture from ABC News)Polynesian sculpture (picture from Getty Images)Micronesian handcrafts (picture from Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin )I’m not an expert for traditional dances or music, so I’ll go with the visual art forms. Melanesian art style emphasizes more on curvilinear shapes/forms, or in other words, it has curvy lines. Also, the way I see it, Melanesian art style is a little less symmetrical - its alignment, rhythm, and continuation is not really aligned well. Vibrant colors are seldom used; it mostly use less vibrant colors varying at brown, dark yellow, orange, dark red, black, and dark gray. Polynesian art style has more diagonal, straight lines and geometrical shapes, although curves are not uncommon. Symmetry is a continuing element in its design, which can be observed at its execution at rhythm and alignment. The alignment is so precise I can actually mirror a symmetrical Polynesian art design and it looks just the same as it being not mirrored. Due to the culture’s vast spread, Polynesian art style adopts various color schemes: the darker one - which is similar to Melanesian’s - at New Zealand; and the more vibrant one at Hawaii."

The concept of Mongoloid races is historical referring to a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon.

Race categories are often used as ethnic intensifiers, with the aim of justifying the exploitation of one group by another. Race is an idea that has become so fixed in American society that there is no room for open-mindedness when challenging the idea of racial categories. Over the years there has been a drastic change with the way the term \"\"race\"\" is used by scientists. Essentially, there is a major difference between the biological and sociological views of race. In 1758 a Swedish botanist named Carolus Linnaeus established the classification system still in use for various forms of life. He listed four categories that he labeled as \"\"varieties\"\" of the human species."

The history of witch persecutions during the European Inquisition and Reformation have colored public understandings of witchcraft beliefs in morerecent times. The most significant contribution of anthropological studies has been to show that the belief in witchcraft is encountered in nearly all continents of the world and that it continues to be an important feature of contemporary times. It is the generality of these beliefs that has attracted analytical attention. Anthropological studies have generally left open questions about the reality and actual performance of witchcraft. Instead, they have sought to unearth the social and psychological factors underlying witchcraft beliefs. Definitions Ethnographic studies across the globe have shown that, far from being confined to the distant past of Europe and New England, the belief in witchcraft is widely distributed in time and place—in Africa, Melanesia, the Pacific, Asia, and the Americas. These studies have raised the problem of definition. Is it possible to define witchcraft in a way that makes sense cross-culturally, while at the same time respecting the particularities of specific social settings? Is it sensible to use the term originally used to denote consorts of Satan in 16th-century England to describe contemporary causers of misfortune in a post-Socialist Tanzanian village?"

The Austronesian language family includes more than 900 distinct languages spoken in an area stretching from Madagascar to Easter Island. Of all the Oceanic languages, only the Papuan languages spoken in New Guinea and the Solomons do not belong to this group. In all some 720 languages are spoken in Papua New Guinea, 113 in Vanuatu, and 87 in the Solomon Islands (the 250 languages spoken by the Australian Aborigines are unrelated to these). Many islanders are trilingual, equally fluent in the national lingua franca (pidgin), a local tribal tongue (or two), and an international language (either English or French). English is the predominant language of business and government in all but the French colonies. Pidgin developed in Fiji and Queensland during the labor trade of the late 19th century. Because many separate local languages might be spoken on a single Melanesian island, often in villages only a few kilometers apart, the need for a common language arose when it became possible for people to travel beyond tribal boundaries. The three Pacific pidgins are Tok Pisin (P. N. G.), Pijin (Solomon Islands), and Bislama (Vanuatu). Solomons’ Pidgin is the more Anglicized; the other two are surprisingly similar."

The darker a person's natural hair color is, the more individual hair follicles they have on their scalp. Levels of melanin can vary over time causing a person's hair color to change, and it is possible to have hair follicles of more than one color on the same person.

"text": "\"Lapita Pottery & Polynesians Lapita Pottery Small Fijian outrigger from Kabara, Suva Lapita pottery Lapita pottery has long been held as the key to Polynesian colonization of the Eastern Pacific, despite there being no hard evidence to prove it. In fact the deeper one delves into the archaeology, chronology and gene trees of the Pacific one finds that there is no connection whatsoever between Polynesian and Lapita culture. The following article outlines many of these discrepancies. In fact it is quite embarrassing how poorly the scientists have interpreted the facts. Lapita pottery is a finely decorated (dentate stamped) coil built, low fired pottery commonly found in archaeological sites in the Western Pacific. The earliest Lapita sites are in the Bismark Archipelago and are dated at 3,900 years BP. The Lapita culture does not predate the arrival of Melanesians, who have lived in New Guinea and it's surrounding Islands for over 40,000 years. Lapita pottery is commonly found in coastal locations on the Islands of New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomons, New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. The Lapita people are believed to have spread eastwards and colonized Fiji, Samoa and Tonga ~3,500 years ago which predates the arrival of the Polynesian people in the Pacific by 1,300 years. Lapita pottery is common on most Melanesian islands andis often found associated with Melanesian deposits, but is not found amongst any Eastern Polynesian archaeological deposits in Hawai'i, Rapa Nui, Aoteoroa, Tahiti, Tuamotus, Raiatea, Raivavae or Rarotonga or any other Eastern Polynesian Islands."

"text": "\"Explanation for the origins of the Aborigines in Australia \"\"The origins of the Australian Aborigines has never been a mystery to Africans. \"\" As far as Africans are concerned, the Australian Aborigines, Trobian Islanders and Melasesians are all part of the protohistoric African Diaspora. However, what we have is not a mere migration of people to Australia but a wide 'Black belt' that circled the tropical, subtropical and temperate zones even before the 'evolution' of African migrants to Europe and Asia and the gradual change due to climatic adaptation into Caucasiod and Mongolod (sic) 'races'. The Black belt included an area around the globe as far north as siberia and as far south as Australian and New Zealand. The entire area was peopled by the protohistoric Negroid racial type, which is what most Africans see Aboriginals and other Blacks in Asia and the Pacific as. Why, because there are tribes in Africa who have features identical to the Australian Aborigines, the Trobian Islanders and the Melanesians. Also, there are cultural traits found in Africa that are also found in Australia and Melanesia, India and other places. For example, the boomerang was a common weapon for hunting small game in Africa about 10,000 to 20,000 years ago [a fact that may mean Australian Aborigines and Native Africans interacted]. Cave paintings in the Sahara which was wet during that time show hunters with boomerangs as well as bows and arrows. Do the Australian Aborigines use the bow and arrow. If no, then they may have left Africa before its invention."

But new and not so new discoveries revealed that the first inhabitants of America belonged to the Negroid type (Blacks). Now, you do not have to think they were of the African type. They belonged to a racial group called Black Asians. This was the first human group to have moved out of Africa perhaps 60,000 years ago. The 40,000 years old European Cro-Magnon could have been of this type.12,000 years ago, Black Asians were the main inhabitants of India, Indochina, Indonesia, New Guinea, Melanesia and perhaps even eastern China (or the whole eastern Asia). One of the most primitive forms of this race is represented by the Australian Aborigines, who entered Australia about 40,000 years ago. A later type is that now constituted by the Papuans of New Guinea or Melanesians tribes in the western Pacific, who came there 21,000 years ago from Asia. Unlike African Blacks, these people have abundant beards, a lot of hair on the body, are shorter, have slimmer lips, a tilted front (not cambered), prominent eye ridge and aquiline noses. The hair is somewhat less kinky."

By a turn of an amused fate, he erroneously thought that this could be one of the locations in which King Solomon (the Israelite monarch) obtained gold for his temple in Jerusalem. Mendaña then named the islands after King Solomon—Solomon Islands. The islands are most widely known to the outside world for the World War II battles that were fought there, especially on Guadalcanal. Peace prevailed for most of the rest of the century in a country that was sometimes called the \"\"Happy Islands,\"\" until ethnic conflict erupted in late 1998. Location and Geography. The Solomon Islands lie northeast of Australia in the South Pacific Ocean. They are part of a long chain of archipelagos called Melanesia, which stretches from Papua New Guinea in the north to New Caledonia and Fiji in the south. Second largest in the Melanesian chain, the Solomon Islands archipelago covers approximately 310,000 square miles (803,000 square kilometers) of ocean and consists of 10,639 square miles (27,556 square kilometers) of land."

Malignant Melanoma Definition Malignant melanoma is a type of cancer arising from the melanocyte cells of the skin. Melanocytes are cells in the skin that produce a pigment called melanin. Malignant melanomadevelops when the melanocytes no longer respond to normal control mechanisms of cellulargrowth. They may then invade nearby structures or spread to other organs in the body (metastasis), where again they invade and compromise the function of that organ. Description Melanocytes are derived from a structure in the human embryo called the neural crest. They aredistributed in the epidermis and thus are found throughout the skin. They produce a brownpigment known as melanin and are responsible for racial variation in skin color as well as thecolor of moles. Malignant degeneration of the melanocyte gives rise to the tumor known as melanoma, which has four subtypes. These are: superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna,and acral lentiginous melanomas, accounting for 70%, 15% to 30%, 4% to 10%, and 2% to 8% of cases, respectively."

Learning objectives Describe terms used in dermatopathology of tumours Describe pathological features of selected skin tumours Introduction The identification of many skin tumours is fairly straightforward, but the diagnosis of some tumours (particularly some melanocytic tumours) can be very difficult. Tumours do not always have textbook appearances. On occasions even experts disagree as to whether a melanocytic lesion is benign or malignant. Sometimes malignant lesions show no obvious histological features to suggest their cell type i.e. they become anaplastic. Special stains especially immunoperoxidase stains can be useful in such cases. The pathology of the following skin tumours will be outlined: Seborrhoeic keratosis Basal cell carcinoma Actinic keratosis In situ squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma Epidermoid cyst Lentigo Melanocytic naevus Malignant melanoma Mycosis fungoides Dermatofibroma Atypical fibroxanthoma Terminology Descriptions refer to routine sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Basaloid tumour cells The cells resemble cells from the basal epidermal layer i.e. have a dark oval nucleus and little cytoplasm Epithelioid cells Cells resemble epithelial cells in having ample pale cytoplasm and pale vesicular nuclei. They may be tumour cells or macrophages Foam cells Cells with bubbly cytoplasm (usually macrophages)Spindle cells Long thin cells of many cell types Squamous eddies, horn pearls and horncyst Concentric whorled arrangement of keratinocytes, more keratinised in the middle (marked keratinisation is called a horn pearl or horn cyst)Epidermotropism The migration of malignant cells into the epidermis (usually refers to lymphocytes)Pagetoid spread Individual cell spread of malignant cells in the epidermis in a ‘buckshot’ pattern Pautrier Microabscesses Clusters of atypical lymphocytes in the epidermis with little associated spongiosis.

Patient information: See related handout on skin cancer, written by the author of this article. Malignant lesions of the skin are common. Patients who develop squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma often have recognizable precursor conditions. A few skin lesions resemble malignancies. Lesions that are growing, spreading or pigmented, or those that occur on exposed areas of skin are of particular concern. Knowing the similarities and differences between these lesions allows the primary physician to make a diagnosis in most cases by simple inspection and palpation. When in doubt, it is appropriate to perform an excisional biopsy of small lesions or punch biopsy of larger lesions. Removal of premalignant lesions will reduce the occurrence of malignant disease."

"text": "Background: Pigmented entities are relatively common in the oral mucosa and arise from intrinsic and extrinsic sources. Conditions such as melanotic macules, smoker’s melanosis, amalgam and graphite tattoos, racial pigmentation, and vascular blood-related pigments occur with some frequency. Addison disease and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome also appear in perioral and oral locations as pigmented macules. Oral pigmentations may range from light brown to blue-black, red, or purple. The color depends on the source of the pigment and the depth of the pigment from which the color is derived. Melanin is brown, yet it imparts a blue, green, or brown color to the eye. This effect is due to the physical properties of light absorption and reflection described by the Tyndall light phenomenon or effect. Oral conditions with increased melanin pigmentation are common; however, melanocytic hyperplasias are rare. Clinicians must visually inspect the oral cavity, obtain good clinical histories, and be willing to perform a biopsy in any condition that is not readily diagnosed. Patients with oral malignant melanoma often recall having an existing oral pigmentation months to years before diagnosis, and the condition may even have elicited prior comment from physicians or dentists."

Skin cancer, when detected early, has an extremely high cure rate. Skin cancer risk can be reduced by taking preventive measures. There are three major kinds of skin cancer. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)Basal (pronounce like the herb basil) cell carcinoma (or cancer) is the most common form of skin cancer.

Most pigmented areas are nothing but freckles and moles. However a potentially deadly pigmented lesion that can occur on the foot and lower extremity is Malignant Melanoma. A physician should evaluate any pigmented lesion that suddenly occurs or a pigmented lesion that starts to change its appearance. These changes are usually subtle and may consist of increased size and depth of color, onset of bleeding, seepage of clear fluid, tumor formation, ulceration and formation of satellite pigmented lesions. The color is usually not uniform but is likely to be scattered irregularity, being brown, bluish black or black. An increase in pigmentation may precede enlargement of the lesion by several months. Although any part of the body may be affected, the most frequent site is the foot, then in order of frequency, the remainder of the lower extremity, head and neck, abdomen, arms and back. Malignant melanoma may also form under the nails of the feet and hands. The thumb and big toe are more commonly affected than the other nails."

Siegel, DDSThe keratinized, stratified, squamous mucosal lining covering the hard palate is bordered laterally and ventrally within the upper alveolar ridge mucosa. Dorsally, this lining epithelium is bordered by the oropharyngeal soft palatal mucosa. Several types of oral and oropharyngeal pathologic lesions may appear in this area. There are a number of conditions that have special predilection for this site. Torus palatinus, probably the most common palatal entity, 1 presents as an osseous, exophytic, centrally located, midline, usually symmetric asymptomatic lesion of the hard palate. The epithelial tissues over tori are attenuated (stretched) due to the underlying bony prominence, subjecting this site to ulcerations of traumatic origin. Inflammatory lesions of dental origin are also common conditions present in the hard palate. 1Malignant squamous epithelial neoplasms—such as squamous cell carcinoma, verrucous carcinoma, and carcinoma of the maxillary sinus—may also appear in this area. Carcinoma of the maxillary sinus usually remains asymptomatic for a long period of time. 1 Eventually, the tumor grows to fill the sinus and the diagnosis is made because the lesion has produced a bulge of the palatal or alveolar ridge area."

According to New Zealand Cancer Registry data, 2256 invasive melanomas were diagnosed in 2008 and about 10% were pathologically lentigo maligna melanoma. Rates of the precursor, lentigo maligna, are not reported by national cancer registries but it is thought to be the most common variant of melanoma in situ in New Zealand and Australia. What is lentigo maligna? Lentigo maligna is an early form of melanoma in which the malignant cells are confined to the tissue of origin, the epidermis, hence it is often reported as ‘in situ’ melanoma. It occurs in sun damaged skin so is generally found on the face or neck, particularly the nose and cheek. It grows slowly in diameter over 5 to 20 years or longer. Lentigo maligna melanoma is diagnosed when the malignant melanoma cells have invaded into the dermis and deeper layers of skin. Lentigo maligna has a lower rate of transformation to invasive melanoma than the other forms of melanoma in situ (under 5% overall)."

Although the loss of phenotypic markers including S100 protein has been reported in metastatic melanoma, loss of S100 in primary melanoma is rare. Discordant staining between primary and metastatic lesions further emphasizes the protean nature of melanoma.

The timing of and clinical presentation of development of melanoma is also related to the size of the lesion. Medical decisions are individualized taking into account the perceived risk of malignancy, psychosocial impact, and anticipated treatment outcome.

Keywords: Nevus, Congenital nevus, Congenital melanocytic nevus, Pigmented nevus, Garmet nevus, Giant nevus, Melanocytic nevus, Childhood melanoma One of the most common skin lesions in a newborn infant is the congenital melanocytic nevus. These lesions pose considerable clinical dilemma given their frequency, wide variation in presentation, potential psychosocial impact, and potential for medical significance. All of these factors affect decisions regarding their treatment. In general, lesions are either observed or removed with excisional surgery. Occasionally intermediary procedures, such as biopsy or alternative surgical procedure, are considered. A congenital nevus on a child can be a source of anxiety and distress for parents."

This leaves us with the option of surgery on a lump of unknown provenance and the dilemma of how wide an excision to make. If the culprit is benign, the surgery need not be radical. But what if the lump is malignant? Should the surgeon be aggressive, just in case? How on earth do we strike the perfect balance? From time to time, I am presented with precisely this kind of case. Hannah, a Shar-Pei, was seven years old when her owner noticed an innocuous but slightly pigmented and raised skin mass on her left forelimb.

Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer that can be life-threatening. Melanoma typically affects the skin, but it can also spread to the eye. Malignant melanoma of the eye is a rare condition that can occur when your eye has been exposed to too much ultraviolet radiation, or sunlight. The choroid layer of your eye is where blood vessels are stored. This is the layer most commonly affected by malignant melanoma. The disease can also affect other structures of your eye, including the:ciliary body, which helps lubricate your eye and contains muscles that help your eye focusconjunctiva, which is a thin, transparent tissue that covers the inside of your eyelid as well as your sclera, or the white of your eyeiris, the colored part of your eye that helps control how much light is let inorbit, the cavity in your skull that contains your eye Although melanoma of the eye is rare, it’s the most common type of eye cancer in adults. People with fair skin or blue eyes are most affected by this type of cancer. This type of cancer can also spread to other parts of the body, usually the liver.

Immunohistochemical methods and exclusion of other primary melanoma sites are used to confirm the diagnosis. In the present study, the case of a 65‑year‑old female patient with an MM of the uterine cervix is reported. Diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical methods using human melanoma black 45 antibody and S‑100 protein. The tumor was identified as stage IB1 using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification. Chest X‑ray and abdominopelvic computed tomography results were normal. The patient subsequently underwent a radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Following combined radical surgery and chemotherapy, complete remission of the tumor was achieved. The patient has since been well for 30 months without recurrence subsequent to the surgery. Introduction Malignant melanoma (MM), a common neoplasm of the skin and mucous membranes, constitutes 1% of all cancer cases ( 1 )."

Acral lentiginous melanoma is a form of melanoma characterised by its site of origin: palm, sole, or beneath the nail ( subungual melanoma ). It is more common on feet than on hands. It can arise de novo in normal-appearing skin, or it can develop within an existing melanocytic naevus (mole). Acral lentiginous melanoma starts as a slowly-enlarging flat patch of discoloured skin. At first, the malignant cells remain within the tissue of origin, the epidermis."

Freud (1900, 1905) developed a topographical model of the mind, whereby he described the features of the mind’s structure and function. Freud used the analogy of an iceberg to describe the three levels of the mind. Freud (1915) described conscious mind, which consists of all the mental processes of which we are aware, and this is seen as the tip of the iceberg. For example, you may be feeling thirsty at this moment and decide to get a drink. The preconscious contains thoughts and feelings that a person is not currently aware of, but which can easily be brought to consciousness (1924). It exists just below the level of consciousness, before the unconscious mind. The preconscious is like a mental waiting room, in which thoughts remain until they 'succeed in attracting the eye of the conscious' (Freud, 1924, p. 306). This is what we mean in our everyday usage of the word available memory. For example, you are presently not thinking about your mobile telephone number, but now it is mentioned you can recall it with ease."

But, HM retained memories for events long past. This website suggests that, while it is not the primary store of human memory, the hippocampus plays a crucial role in the consolidation of memories in extensive regions of the cortex. The hippocampus also supports a working memory, which enables the post-perceptual processing of information by the prefrontal regions. The organ records memories of significant experiences of the mind in the sensory and recognition regions of the cortex, while providing strong space/time book marks for the recall of such memories. The organ recirculates the transient perceptions of the immediate past to the prefrontal regions for its current evaluation. This becomes a working memory, which protects the system from distraction and emotional reactivity and ensures quick and considered decisions and action plans. During REM sleep, the hippocampus replays the space and time context of significant waking experiences. LTP circuits within the organ increase synaptic strength for such links. Neuronal reverberation, where linked nerve cells fire in rhythm, record the combinatorial patterns in all the linked groups of cells."

Human memory and how it works is still one of the great mysteries (or enigmas) waiting to be solved and understood, so that we may acquire more control over its intricacies and be able to help those who experience problems with it. A life without memories, where one would never be able to recognize the face or voice of a loved one, never be able to recognize a language, never be able to learn a new task (such as cooking) or remember an old one (such as writing), is an unimaginable one for most of us. In order for us to benefit from an experience, we have to be able to remember it. The Roman statesman Cicero stated many centuries ago that memory is \"\"the treasury and guardian of all things.\"\" Thus, memory is essential to the concept of learning as well. So what exactly is memory, and how does it work? Here's some background information intended to shed some light on this inquiry. The Basics of Memory and How is Works The process by which experiences change our nervous system and inevitably our behavior is referred to as learning, and we call these changes memories.

The model assumes that information that comes from the environment is subject to mental processes beyond a simple stimulus-response pattern. \"\" Input\"\" from the environment goes through the cognitive systems which is then measured by the \"\"output\"\". Information that is received can take several paths depending on attention, encoding, recognition, and storage. The central executive feature controls how much information is being processed, though more primitive sensory areas of the brain first accept environmental input. The theory looks at real time responses to presented stimuli and how the mind transforms that information. The model is used in several areas of research such as; cognitive development, neuroscience, social learning, and artificial intelligence. History The cognitive revolution in the late 1950's sparked the emergence of the theory. One major catalyst of the cognitive revolution was the invention of the computer.

"text": "Read: Gain a Better Perspective of How Emotions Affect Memory The human brain is a fascinating organ where its labyrinthine structure has secret passages that scientists are still trying to uncover. We find out in particular how memory influences the way we store, dismiss and retrieve information based on how we feel. The brain is an organ which is forever developing, processing and collecting information as time lapses, forming memories both good and bad, and those out of habitual routines that we enact everyday. Research shows that what we feel when experiencing an event, has more to do with remembering it, even if it was insignificant or worth remembering. We may not realize it, but everyday we are forming new memories, discarding old ones and recollecting those that we thought we'd never see so clearly in our mind's eye. To gain a better perspective of the link between emotion and memory and their dependence on each other, we dig deeper into how these two correlate. How Emotions Affect Our Memories There are varied factors that come into play when considering the case of how emotions affect our memories. Let's first draw an outline on how an emotion controls our memory, as and when a scenario presents itself. The age of a person greatly influences how we treat our memory intake, where adolescents and the young tend to remember negative memories, more than the positive ones. As one ages, he/she has a better understanding of how to latch on to information, therefore releasing negative memory intake, and storing that which is positive."

But now he does not know where it is. He is sure that he had last seen it two days ago but, searching through his recent experiences, he is not able to recall where he has put it.

If you look at a window, then shut your eyes tight, you will still see the window for a moment, and then see a reversed image of the window (where white becomes black, red becomes green, blue becomes yellow, and so on).

"text": "Memory First published Mon Apr 24, 2017Memory plays important roles in many areas of philosophy. It is vital to our knowledge of the world in general and of the personal past in particular. It underwrites our identities as individuals and our ties to other people. Philosophical interest in memory thus dates back to antiquity and has remained prominent throughout the history of philosophy (Aho 2014; Bloch 2014; Burnham 1888; Herrmann & Chaffinn 1988; Nikulin 2015). More recently, memory has come to be recognized as a topic of major philosophical importance in its own right, with the emergence of the philosophy of memory as a distinct field of research (Bernecker & Michaelian 2017). Much of the impetus for the emergence of the field was due to a trend, beginning in the late 1990s, towards increased interdisciplinarity among philosophers working on memory (Hoerl & Mc Cormack 2001; Sutton 1998), a trend which reinvigorated and transformed older philosophical debates by bringing them into contact with empirical and theoretical developments in psychology and the sciences of memory more broadly. To cite just two examples among the many discussed below, empirical research on the constructive character of remembering has intensified philosophical debates over the viability of the influential causal theory of memory (Robins 2016b) and the associated concept of memory traces (De Brigard 2014b), while theoretical frameworks which situate remembering as a form of imaginative mental time travel have lent new urgency to longstanding debates over the relationship between memory and imagination (Debus 2014; Perrin & Michaelian 2017). The interdisciplinary character of the field notwithstanding, the concerns of philosophers of memory remain distinct from those of memory researchers in other disciplines, and, while this entry discusses the latter where they are of direct philosophical relevance, its focus is squarely on the former. Given the roles played by memory in other areas, the philosophy of memory inevitably overlaps with many other fields of research. Three core areas of activity can nevertheless be discerned, with most researchers approaching memory from the perspectives of philosophy of mind, epistemology, or ethics."

Cognitivism came about as a result of the rejection of the passive view of learning that behaviorism suggested, in which one learns only as a result of reacting (output) to one’s environment (input). The cognitivism theorists suggest that while the environment is important to learning, there is more involved than simply inputs and outputs. They believe that the mind is also involved in synthesizing and analyzing information and formulating ideas, and in so doing, producing thoughts that are not related to any inputs. Cognitivism holds that one has to consider the thought processes going on in the mind which results in learning, that is, the cognitivism, hence the name of the learning theory. They also stress that individuals are actively involved in the learning process. The theorists suggest that learning occurs when individuals relate new information to schemata, or structures of information already stored in the brain. Part of the learning process involves organizing the new information as well as becoming capable of more sophisticated thought as new information is built. In cognitivism, the mind is likened to a computer into which data, or information, is relayed and then processed, and then leads to outcomes, or new knowledge."

"text": "\"Episodic and semantic memory are two major types of memories stored in long-term memory. Procedural memory, or non- declarative memory, which includes actions that have been learned and are performed somewhat below the conscious level — such as driving an automobile or tying a necktie — forms one category of long-term memory. The other category of long-term memory is declarative, which includes episodic and semantic memory. Semantic memory refers to the part of memory that stores information people have learned, such as concepts, numerical processes, vocabulary, academic or work-related skills and facts. For information or skills to have reached a person’s semantic memory, which is part of their long-term memory, it must first go through their working memory, or short-term memory. Once they have processed the information in a significant way that involves them interacting with or developing a deeper understanding of it, it can then be stored in their long-term memory. Episodic memory refers to life events that people remember. For one reason or another, people remember certain events that happen to them. They might be able to recall an embarrassing moment, because it was unique. An emotional or personally meaningful event, such as graduation from college or a breakup with a significant other, often is stored in episodic memory."

The human brain is a complicated, creative information-processing system. As technology advanced from primitive to modern, the metaphors used to describe the brain also advanced. Initially, it was compared to a wax tablet, then to a sheet of papyrus, then to a book, and most recently, to a computer. As you learn about the brain, keep in mind that the usefulness of these metaphors is limited and can lead to erroneous conclusions. Information processing starts with input from the sensory organs, which transform physical stimuli such as touch, heat, sound waves, or photons of light into electrochemical signals. The sensory information is repeatedly transformed by the algorithms of the brain in both bottom-up and top-down processing. For example, when looking at a picture of a black box on a white background, bottom-up processing puts together very simple information such as color, orientation, and where the borders of the object are - where the color changes significantly over a short space - to decide that you are seeing a box. Top-down processing uses the decisions made at some steps of the bottom-up process to speed up your recognition of the box."

Paul Reber, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, replies By Paul Reber on May 1, 2010Can an old head injury suddenly cause detrimental effects much later in life?—Anonymous, via e-mail Douglas Smith, professor of neurosurgery and director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania, answers: ALTHOUGH A BRAIN INJURY from a car accident or a collision during a football game often seems to cause a sudden change to cognitive ability years later, this change does not just appear out of the blue—the damage has been building up slowly, unnoticed, over time. Postinjury, the progressive brain deterioration that may occur likely reaches a tipping point, after which the loss of function “suddenly” becomes obvious. Depending on the type and severity of the traumatic brain injury (TBI), it can accelerate memory loss or increase a person’s chance of succumbing to Alzheimer’s disease. TBI commonly damages nerve fibers in the brain called axons. These thin, tubelike structures transmit electrical and chemical signals that are vital for carrying information among different regions of the brain. For unknown reasons, these fragile structures not only disconnect shortly after injury but can continue to disconnect even for decades later in some patients. Once disconnected, the blunt end of an axon seals itself off, swells with fluids, enzymes and proteins and eventually bursts. When axons burst open, they often distribute amyloid proteins through the neighboring brain tissue. These sticky proteins are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, and in fact many TBI patients exhibit signs of dementia later in life that mimic the deterioration observed in Alzheimer’s patients."

Developmental psychologists who adopt the information-processing perspective account for mental development in terms of maturational changes in basic components of a child’s mind. The theory is based on the idea that humans process the information they receive, rather than merely responding to stimuli. This perspective equates the mind to a computer, which is responsible for analyzing information from the environment. According to the standard information-processing model for mental development, the mind’s machinery includes attention mechanisms for bringing information in, working memory for actively manipulating information, and long-term memory for passively holding information so that it can be used in the future. [ 1] This theory addresses how as children grow, their brains likewise mature, leading to advances in their ability to process and respond to the information they received through their senses. The theory emphasizes a continuous pattern of development, in contrast with Cognitive Developmental theorists such as Jean Piaget that thought development occurred in stages at a time.

"text": "Overview Meninges A meningioma is a tumor that arises from the meninges — the membranes that surround your brain and spinal cord. Although not technically a brain tumor, it is included in this category because it may compress or squeeze the adjacent brain, nerves and vessels. Meningioma is the most common type of tumor that forms in the head. Most meningiomas grow very slowly, often over many years without causing symptoms. But in some instances, their effects on adjacent brain tissue, nerves or vessels may cause serious disability. Meningiomas occur most commonly in women, and are often discovered at older ages, but a meningioma may occur at any age. Because most meningiomas grow slowly, often without any significant signs and symptoms, they do not always require immediate treatment and may be monitored over time. Meningioma care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms Signs and symptoms of a meningioma typically begin gradually and may be very subtle at first. Depending on where in the brain or, rarely, spine the tumor is situated, signs and symptoms may include: Changes in vision, such as seeing double or blurriness Headaches that worsen with time Hearing loss or ringing in the ears Memory loss Loss of smell Seizures Weakness in your arms or legs When to see a doctor Most signs and symptoms of a meningioma evolve slowly, but sometimes a meningioma requires emergency care. Seek emergency care if you have: Sudden onset of seizures Sudden changes in your vision or memory Make an appointment to see your doctor if you have persistent signs and symptoms that concern you, such as headaches that worsen over time."

Posterior fossa location of the tumor is uncommon. It can be classified according to the location in the posterior fossa into cerebellopontine angle, clival, petroclival, convexity, tentorial and foramen magnum. Different surgical approaches are used to excise these tumors. Aim of the study Was to study different aspects of posterior fossa meningioma regarding location, histology, surgical approaches and outcome. Methods Retrospective study including 20 patients diagnosed with posterior fossa meningioma was included in the study. Data were obtained from the files of the patients and were analyzed. All patients had preoperative complete general and neurological examination, MRI of the brain with and without Gadolinium. Different surgical approaches were utilized in the study depending on the tumor location and the surgeon's preference. Postoperatively, all patients had a postoperative CT scan of the brain with contrast."

Anatomic Approach to Differential Diagnosis In order to analyze a sellar or parasellar mass on MRI we use the following anatomic approach: First identify the pituitary gland and sella turcica. Then determine the epicenter of the lesion and whether it is in the sella or above, below or lateral to the sella. If it is in the sella, determine whether or not the sella is enlarged. Once the location of the mass is clear, analyze the signal intensity patterns: is the lesion cystic or solid? Does it contain any abnormal vessels? Are there any calcifications?"

Although risk factors often influence the development of a brain tumor, most do not directly cause a brain tumor. Some people with several risk factors never develop a brain tumor, while others with no known risk factors do. Knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed decisions. But, at this time, there are no known ways to prevent a brain tumor through lifestyle changes. Most of the time, the cause of a brain tumor is unknown, but the following factors may raise a person’s risk of developing a brain tumor: Age.

"text": "Facts about Meningiomas A meningioma is a type of tumor that develops from the meninges, the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges, called the dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater. Most meningiomas (90 percent) are categorized as benign tumors, with the remaining 10 percent being atypical or malignant. However, the word benign can be misleading in this case, as when benign tumors grow and constrict and affect the brain, they can cause disability and even be life threatening. In many cases, benign meningiomas grow slowly. This means that depending upon where it is located, a meningioma may reach a relatively large size before it causes symptoms. Other meningiomas grow more rapidly, or have sudden growth spurts. There is no way to predict the rate of growth for a meningioma, or to know for certain how long a specific tumor was growing before diagnosis. Most people with a meningioma will have a tumor at only one site, but it also is possible to have several tumors growing simultaneously in different parts of the brain and spinal cord. When multiple meningiomas occur, more than one type of treatment may be necessary."

"text": "Conditions: Meningioma Summary Causes & Risks Diagnostics Treatments Symptoms Meningiomas are the second most common primary tumors affecting the central nervous system. The vast majority of meningiomas are slow-growing, benign (noncancerous) tumors, although certain subtypes are more aggressive than others, and benign does not mean without risk. Depending on its size and location, a benign meningioma can cause significant injury, become life-threatening, and be extremely difficult to treat. While benign meningiomas do not generally invade brain tissue, a growing tumor potentially compresses important structures. Many tumors, however, remain so small they go undetected throughout a person’s lifetime or are only coincidentally discovered if diagnostic imaging is performed for an unrelated reason. Meningiomas grow from cells of the middle layer (arachnoid) of the meninges, the three membranes enveloping and protecting the brain and spinal cord. They often are found at the surface of the brain near the top of the head, at the base of the cranium (skull), and along the spinal cord. How Meningiomas Are Graded The World Health Organization classifies 15 subtypes of meningiomas into three categories: benign (Grade I), atypical (Grade II) and malignant (Grade III). About 90 percent of meningiomas are benign. They include: angiomatous, fibrous, lymphoplasmacyte-rich, meningiothelial, microcystic, metaplastic, psammomatous, secretory, and transitional meningiomas."

In this section: Definition | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prognosis MRI image showing a typical meningioma tumor A meningioma is a tumor that arises from a layer of tissue (the meninges) that covers the brain and spine. Meningiomas grow on the surface of the brain (or spinal cord), and therefore push the brain away rather than growing from within it. Most are considered “benign” because they are slow-growing with low potential to spread. Meningioma tumors can become quite large. Diameters of 2 inches (5 cm.) are not uncommon. Meningiomas that grow quickly and exhibit cancer-like behavior are called atypical meningiomas or anaplastic meningiomas, and are fortunately rare. Meningiomas represent about 20 percent of all tumors originating in the head and 10 percent of tumors of the spine. About 6,500 people are diagnosed with meningiomas each year in the United States."

A meningioma is a type of tumor that grows in the meninges, which are layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord. Technically, a meningioma is not a brain tumor because it does not arise from brain tissue. But, it's often referred to as a brain tumor. These tumors are usually non-cancerous (benign). This means that unlike cancerous tumors, they don't tend to spread to distant parts of the body. Because of their location, though, meningiomas can still cause neurological problems. As these tumors grow, they can compress the brain and spinal cord, leading to serious symptoms. Meningiomas are the most common type of brain tumors in adults and occur more often than cancerous brain tumors."

Most meningiomas are benign (not cancer) and slow growing; however, some can be malignant. Symptoms typically appear gradually and vary depending on the location and brain area affected. Because these are slow growing tumors, not all meningiomas need to be treated immediately. Treatment options focus on removing the tumor and relieving the compression on the brain. What is a meningioma? Three layers of membranes, called meninges, lying just under the skull, protect the brain and spinal cord. From the outermost layer inward they are: the dura, arachnoid, and pia. A meningioma grows from the arachnoid cells that form the middle layer, and are firmly attached to the dura (Fig 1). Some meningiomas contain cysts or calcified mineral deposits, and others contain hundreds of tiny blood vessels."

"text": "\"FDA says menthol smokes 'worse' than normal cigarettes24 July 2013Share US regulators have said menthol cigarettes are more harmful than other cigarettes, but stopped short of limiting their sale. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it would seek consultation on possible restrictions for the products. The agency said that while mint-flavoured cigarettes may be just as toxic as others, it was easier to start smoking them and harder to quit. Menthol cigarettes are one of the few growing areas of the tobacco industry. The FDA has commissioned further research into the subject. It is inviting input from the health community, tobacco industry and members of the public about the products. \"\" Menthol cigarettes pose a public health risk above that seen with non-menthol cigarettes,\"\" said the preliminary results of the FDA's study. It also found the cooling and anaesthetic qualities of the menthol made them less harsh - and more appealing - to smokers. The report's conclusions echoed some of the findings of an earlier review from 2011, which suggested that a ban on menthol cigarettes would benefit public health. But the tobacco industry has said that menthol cigarettes do not need to be subject to different regulations from normal cigarettes."

"text": "Difference Between Menthol and Regular Cigarettes – You Should Know By: William Jackson | Last Updated: January 4, 2018Menthol is an organic compound present in plants such as mint, spearmint, and peppermint. The combination of menthol and tobacco helps to make our mouth and nose feel cool while smoking menthol cigarettes. The African-American population prefers smoking menthol cigarettes which are particularly well-liked in the warmer US environments. It has been shown by research that people smoking menthol cigarettes tend to light up more often as compared to the regular cigarettes which do not have any anti anxiety characteristic. In the following paragraphs, we will focus on the difference between menthol and regular cigarettes. But first, let us take a look at the history of menthol cigarettes. History of Menthol Cigarettes Menthol was first included in cigarettes by the tobacco companies in the 1920’s. The Spud Menthol Cooled Cigarettes where introduced by the Axton-Fisher Tobacco Company in 1924, and after 3 years the immensely popular brand, Kool arrived on the market. Other American menthol cigarette brands including Camel Menthol, American Spirits Menthol, Misty and Marlboro Menthol came out over time while the British brands included Lambert & Butler, JPS, Sterling, and Richmond. Approximately 1 in every 3 cigarettes smoked in the country includes menthol."

History Summary Things to Know How to Take Human Effect Matrix Scientific Research Citations Summary of Peppermint Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts Peppermint ( Mentha piperita) is a plant which is a hybrid from watermint and spearmint, used initially for culinary and food manufacturing purposes but has also been used for its supposed medicinal benefits. Peppermint has an oil component which appears to be its medicinal component, and this oil has a very large content of menthol which is seen as its bioactive ingredient. This menthol is nontoxic at the recommended dose, but is the same menthol also found in some cigarette products. The main medicinal role of peppermint is due to its muscle relaxing properties in the stomach and intestinal tract, and internal usage of peppermint appears to be able to speed up the early phase of digestion in the stomach while reducing colonic motility. It is known as a carminative agent (thought to relief flatulence), and it has a fair bit of evidence to supports its usage in reducing abdominal pain in persons with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It doesn't seem to influence other symptoms of IBS too much, but the reduction of abdominal pain is quite notable. Other possible benefits of peppermint oil include fast headache relief (which involves applying a topical solution of 10% peppermint oil to the scalp at the onset of a tension headache) and possibly a reduction in nausea when used as aromatherapy."

"text": "Are Menthol Cigarettes Riskier Than Non-Menthol? Study Shows Menthol Cigarettes Are No More Likely to Lead to Lung Cancer Than Regular Cigarettes By Denise Mann From the Web MD Archives March 23, 2011 -- People who smoke menthol cigarettes are no more likely -- and may actually be less likely -- to develop lung cancer than people who smoke non-menthol cigarettes, a study suggests. The study, published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, comes out nearly a week after an FDA advisory panel stated that removing menthol cigarettes from the market may improve public health because menthol cigarettes may be more difficult to quit than non-menthol cigarettes and may be more enticing to young smokers because of their minty taste. Menthol cigarettes are also more popular with African-American smokers, who have a higher incidence of lung cancer. Menthol Cigarettes and Lung Cancer But “the new study information almost closes the door on the lung cancer issue,” says study researcher William J. Blot, Ph D, of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville. “ The main message is that cigarettes are harmful, regardless of whether they are menthol or non-menthol, and the best action is to quit smoking .”“I don’t think there is enough scientific evidence to justify a ban of menthol cigarettes in comparison with non-menthol cigarettes,” Blot says.

Photograph: Yui Mok/PAE-cigarettes generate toxic chemicals similar to those found in tobacco and may harm the lungs and immune system, new research suggests. The findings, from a study of mice, indicate that vaping may not be as safe an alternative to smoking tobacco as many people believe. In the experiments, mice exposed to e-cigarette fumes suffered mild damage to their lungs and became far more susceptible to respiratory infections. Their immune responses to both viruses and bacteria were weakened by such an extent that two out of ten animals died. Scientists also found that e-cigarette vapour contained free radical toxins similar to those found in cigarette smoke and air pollution – although at around 1% of the level of conventional cigarettes. Free radicals are highly-reactive molecules that can damage DNA and cell membranes. This came as a surprise to the researchers because e-cigarette vapour does not contain combustion products or tar released by tobacco burning. The findings will be a concern for users who have moved off tobacco to a healthier alternative. There are an estimated 1.3 million e-cigarette smokers in the UK and the rapidly-growing market is expected to be worth £340m this year."

Anti-tobacco activists say the ruling is a loophole other manufacturers will try to exploit. March 25, 2011 | By Andrew Zajac, Washington Bureau Reporting from Washington — It's not often a tobacco company gets released from government regulation without asking. But that's apparently what happened to Star Scientific Inc. after it asked the Food and Drug Administration to treat two versions of its smokeless, dissolvable tobacco lozenges as \"\"modified risk\"\" because they contain lower levels of carcinogens than other tobacco products. The FDA responded that the products aren't considered smokeless tobacco at all and don't come under the 2009 tobacco law, according to a Star Scientific announcement on Wednesday. \"\" We were very surprised. We obviously believed that these were smokeless tobacco products under the act,\"\" said Sara Troy Machir, Star Scientific's vice president for communications and investor relations. Why FDA judged Ariva-BDL and Stonewall-BDL exempt from the tobacco law is a mystery. Both the FDA and Star Scientific declined to release copies of the agency's decision because they said it contained confidential commercial information. Machir said the FDA cited \"\"details of the manufacturing process\"\" -- which are secret – in exempting the products from oversight."

While brands and blends (and tar/nicotine content as well) shown may not necessarily reflect the actual nicotine and tar contained in cigarettes in your particular country, it can serve as a good indication of nicotine levels in various products.

Most people mistakenly believe that smoking a filtered cigarette is safer than smoking a non-filtered cigarette. This is false. Health studies show that smoking filtered cigarettes do not keep you from getting sick. Filters do not protect you from bad chemicals and, in some ways, they may be more dangerous than non-filtered cigarettes. Why don't filters work? Filters do not block all the bad chemicals in smoke. Filtered smoke feels milder on the throat, making it easier to take bigger and deeper puffs. Filters help block only the biggest tar particles while letting through the smaller bits of tar that can travel deeper into your lungs. Filters are defective — and the companies know it."

What goes into tobacco products?2.1 What are the main tobacco products?2.2 How are they made?2.3 What is added?2.1 What are the main tobacco products? The SCENIHR opinion states: A wide variety of tobacco products are available worldwide such as cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobaccos, smokeless tobacco products (STP) etc. Each of these types is produced by using different tobaccos and additives and by using different manufacturing practices (Reviewed in IARC Monographs: 1985; 1986; 2004; and 2007). Cigarette: The most common form of tobacco is the manufactured cigarette. Cigarettes are made from fine-cut tobacco leaves and are wrapped in paper or other non-tobacco material, filter–tipped or untipped, approximately 8 mm in diameter and 70-120 mm in length. Cigarettes are highly engineered, exquisitely designed “nicotine delivery devices”. Design features encompass a wide range of design variables such as tobacco type and blend, chemical processing and additives, and in addition, physical features such as paper, filter and ventilation. It is also important to consider factors such as tobacco weight or density, and cigarette geometry (circumference and length). Cigarette additives have a range of purposes; e.g. to facilitate manufacture, increase shelf life, control burn rates, nicotine delivery, flavour and harshness /irritation etc."

Andrew Harrer / Bloomberg via Getty Images Listen Listening... Originally published on September 27, 2015 10:57 am For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration has ordered a major tobacco company to stop selling several types of cigarettes. The FDA on Tuesday ordered the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company to stop selling four products: Camel Bold Crush, Vantage Tech 13 and the regular and menthol versions of Pall Mall Deep Set Recessed Filter cigarettes. The FDA has ordered other cigarettes off the market before, but those actions involved much smaller companies selling much less popular cigarettes. The agency says it took the action because R. J. Reynolds had failed to prove the the cigarettes were no more dangerous than brands that have been on the market longer. \"\" These decisions were based on a rigorous, science-based review designed to protect the public from the harms caused by tobacco use,\"\" Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, said in a statement. \"\" The agency will continue to review product submissions and exercise it's legal authority and consumer protection duty to remove products from the market when they fail to meet the public health bar set forth under law. \"\" Congress gave the FDA authority to regulate cigarettes for the first time in 2009. Among the agency's new powers are the authority to require new products to prove they pose no more risks to smokers than cigarettes that were put on the market before Feb. 15, 2007. The FDA says R. J. Reynolds had failed to show the four products that have been ordered off the market do not expose smokers to more harmful chemicals, higher levels of menthol or new ingredients."

"text": "Are Menthol Cigarettes Riskier Than Non-Menthol? Study Shows Menthol Cigarettes Are No More Likely to Lead to Lung Cancer Than Regular Cigarettes By Denise Mann From the Web MD Archives March 23, 2011 -- People who smoke menthol cigarettes are no more likely -- and may actually be less likely -- to develop lung cancer than people who smoke non-menthol cigarettes, a study suggests. The study, published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, comes out nearly a week after an FDA advisory panel stated that removing menthol cigarettes from the market may improve public health because menthol cigarettes may be more difficult to quit than non-menthol cigarettes and may be more enticing to young smokers because of their minty taste. Menthol cigarettes are also more popular with African-American smokers, who have a higher incidence of lung cancer. Menthol Cigarettes and Lung Cancer But “the new study information almost closes the door on the lung cancer issue,” says study researcher William J. Blot, Ph D, of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville. “ The main message is that cigarettes are harmful, regardless of whether they are menthol or non-menthol, and the best action is to quit smoking .”“I don’t think there is enough scientific evidence to justify a ban of menthol cigarettes in comparison with non-menthol cigarettes,” Blot says.

Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla said in an interview that the Making Healthier Choices Act, which received third reading Tuesday, addresses two main threats to modern health — smoking and calorie consumption. “It really puts Ontario at the forefront on so many counts, especially in Canada, but I would say across North America,” she said. “ We’re among the first jurisdictions to regulate electronic cigarettes. We’re among the first jurisdictions in Canada and North America to ban menthol cigarettes and definitely the first jurisdiction in Canada to now have calorie counts in Ontario’s chain restaurants. ”Businesses will no longer be allowed to sell flavoured tobacco — it comes in kid-friendly tastes like cherry and grape — as of Jan. 1, 2016. The Ontario government has until Jan. 1, 2018, to ban menthol cigarettes but the minister said she will likely act before that date. Stores and restaurants with 20 or more locations in Ontario must begin prominently identifying calories for regular food and drink items by Jan 1, 2017. As of Jan. 1, 2016 it will be illegal to sell e-cigarettes and vaporizers to anyone under the age of 19."

The FDA said it does not intend to enforce the ban for 30 days to allow retailers to get rid of their inventory. Brainerd Dispatch.com Illustration WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Reynolds American Inc can no longer sell Camel Crush bold and three other types of cigarettes in the United States, because the company has not shown they carry no greater health risk than similar products on the market before Feb. 15, 2007, regulators said on Tuesday. The Food and Drug Administration move comes three weeks after the agency told Reynolds and two of its rivals that they could not claim their products are \"\"natural\"\" or \"\"additive-free\"\" without regulatory approval. Reynolds sells Natural American Spirit cigarettes through its subsidiary, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co. Two other companies were given similar warnings. The FDA said Reynolds could no longer sell or distribute Camel Crush Bold, Pall Mall Deep Set Recessed Filter, Pall Mall Deep Set Recessed Filter Menthol and Vantage Tech 13 cigarettes. The agency concluded the products have different characteristics than the benchmark, or \"\"predicate,\"\" products against which they were measured. Reynolds was not immediately available for comment.

"text": "Menthol cough drops often soothe and cool sore throats by relieving inflammation. They can also help clear stuffy sinus passages and break up chest congestion. This usually helps a person to cough less and breathe easier. The drops are often an easy treatment that can be given to a person of almost any age. They are generally an inexpensive cough medicine that can be used at home, school, work, or while traveling. Coughs are sometimes caused by an irritation in the throat. Menthol from these cough drops is typically released when people suck on them, and this ingredient can naturally alleviate swelling and soothe the affected tissue. Many times, the menthol also relieves some of the pain associated with a sore throat, as it can have a somewhat numbing effect. This usually means people using the cough drops have less throat pain than those who do not use them. As people suck on menthol cough drops, a natural antihistamine may be released."

My 5 month old has had a bad runny nose and cough, her breathing sounds terrible, ive done tried the steamy shower for about 4 days straight, and i use baby vics at night, but i need some more ideas on how to cure this cold. Any ideas will help, and only serious answers please!Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: My 5 month old baby girl just got over this! We were told by the doctor to elevate her bed, use the Baby Vicks and Tylenol if necessary, it seemed to help her sleep through it. I have dosed baby saline as well for her runny nose and then just wiped a lot. ( I used some vaseline under her nose so it didn't get raw) We bathed her with the Vapourbath and used a humidifier. It still took a good week or so for her to stop that horrible weezing cough though! It was aweful to listen to, a lack of sleep for mom and dad that's for sure. Now she's back to her old self though, thank goodness. I hope it doesn't last too much longer, it's terrible to see them go through it!Source (s): Same experience!Elle3 · 10 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating She may be teething."

"text": "Mind and Body How to relieve sinus pressure naturally By Chris Kilham Published February 27, 2012 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Now Playing The Benefits of Neti Pots We breathe every single minute of every day, and without breathing we cannot live. ADVERTISEMENTBut as is the case with all parts of the body, often people experience difficulty breathing fully, due to impaired sinuses. Also known as the paranasal sinuses, our sinuses are connected to our nasal cavities, and include the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. When we have a cold or allergies, the sinuses become inflamed, the sinus tissues swell and breathing becomes congested. Virtually everybody has experienced this. Additionally, accidents involving head trauma can occlude the sinuses, and cause long-lasting or even permanent obstruction. For relief, many people turn to over-the-counter decongestant nasal sprays. However, over-the-counter decongestants are not for everyone, and there can be some health risks involved with taking certain OTC drugs – especially nasal sprays and decongestants. While injury-related sinus obstruction may require surgery to relieve, sinus congestion due to colds, flu, allergies or the consumption of some foods can be relieved by natural remedies. Often, sinus irrigation with a light salt water solution is sufficient to clear up sinus congestion."

Mucus is a substance produced by the mucus-producing tissue in the blood vessels of our body and also in other parts of the body. It is usually produced in the mouth, nose, throat, sinuses, and gastrointestinal tract [ 1 ]. In this article you’ll learn 14 easy natural remedies to get rid of mucus at home. Many people are not aware of the fact how important mucus is to our body. Mucus is a natural lubricant for the body. It not only keeps tissue surfaces from drying and cracking, it also traps harmful invaders such as bacteria before they can enter the body [ 1 ]. Mucus only becomes bothersome when there’s too much of it, as it results in stuffy nose, itchy throat and difficulty in breathing [ 2 ]. These symptoms can signal a cold, allergy, or other viral or bacterial infections [ 3 ]. We have researched and created the following list of best natural remedies to expel excess mucus."

The botanical name of peppermint is mentha piperita. Extracted from the herb by steam distillation, the oil of peppermint is clear with a slight tinge of yellow. Its main constituent is menthol, which imparts the famous heady, minty aroma and the remarkable “cooling sensation,” when tasted or touched. Peppermint oil comprises vitamins A and C, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals including potassium, manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium, and copper. The numerous health benefits of peppermint oil include its ability to treat several health problems. Peppermint oil is said to cure indigestion. Use peppermint oil as a flavoring agent in food or add a few drops in a glass of warm water and drink it after your meal. Being carminative in nature, peppermint oil helps to dispel gas. It also eases stomach and bowel spasms and is the best antidote for an upset stomach."

Unfortunately, when a dry cough does not resolve quickly, it can be a cause for significant discomfort, even disrupting sleep.

This is an organic compound made from peppermint, eucalyptus, and other mint oils. Menthol helps cool the airway passages and soothe the throat. Other cough-drop brands don’t contain any medication. They use pectin or honey to coat and calm the throat. It’s possible to overdose on cough drops containing menthol, but it is incredibly difficult. Most cases of menthol poisoning occur because of the ingestion of pure menthol. Over-the-counter cough drops don’t contain pure menthol.

"text": "\"You couldn't pick a better time to shop for a new road bike. Today, manufacturers offer more models than ever in a wider variety of price points. And component companies make an exceptional array of top-notch wheels, brakes and shifting systems that operate like never before. For example, it's possible to get 20-speed drivetrains that shift blink quick, and wheelsets so light that pedaling is effortless. In fact, there are so many attractive choices today, that if you just walked into our store, you might be overwhelmed. Don't be. Having a lot of choices is a wonderful thing because it drastically increases the likelihood you'll find the perfect bike — as long as you know a little about what's available. To help, we've put together this comprehensive guide for finding the ideal road rig. We explain the decisions you need to make and offer advice on everything from frame materials and wheels to gearing and component choices. To start, though, you need to do some self analysis (therapist not required)."

"text": "\"This article represents my thoughts after many years of riding all kinds of bikes. Sometimes the kind of bikes I recommend for a given purpose aren't exactly what you might expect, but I give my reasons. I don't cover specialist bikes like tandems, trikes, recumbents, or folding bikes. For each type of use I'll suggest a type of bike, or several types of bike, and give you the rundown on them in terms of gearing, comfort and what you can put on them (provision for mudguards, racks, etc). Also, I'll mention appropriate models for women. Women often have trouble finding bikes that fit. This is because, first, they are smaller than men, so sometimes they have difficulties finding bikes they can get their legs over. Second, even if the top tube is at the right height, it is often too long, meaning that the woman has to lean too far forward and put too much weight on her hands as she rides. A few custom builders seem to specialize in women's bikes. They are Paul Donohue, George Longstaff, and Chas Roberts (0181 684 3370)."

Exercise Bikes No Comments These tiny exercise bikes have been around for sometime now and one of the main questions asked is whether mini exercise bikes are any good. It is an understandable question as, on the face of it, these bikes look…..well….ineffective. If you haven’t come across one of these pieces of exercise equipment before you’ll find that they are essentially just the pedal section of an exercise bike. There is no seat, no handlebars and no discernible wheels. As you would expect from that description, with so many components missing, pedal exerciser dimensions are very small. This leads a whole entourage of people looking for portable exercise equipment to investigate these bikes. Not withstanding how these bikes look, they can benefit certain individuals. Here is the inside track on the potential health and exercise benefits of these bikes and whether they might be a good choice for you."

Available with EVA foam tires or air tires, we tested the air model that retails for $149.99 while the foam models retails for $129.99. Both models come standard with a turning limiter, a hand-activated drum brake, a kickstand and front-to-back adjustable handlebars. With a six and four-year-old who are both too tall for 12″ bikes, the 16″ Go Glider was gladly received. Upon assembling the bike, which took about 20 minutes, our six-year-old daughter (who is completely confident on a pedal bike, but still loves riding balance bikes) quickly took it out for a test ride. She was immediately drawn to the foot rest and enjoyed doing “tricks” and standing up on the footrest."

A good friend who is a motorbike enthusiast suggested we should always put premium/98 octane fuel in the motorbike and where possible, always purchased from BP as it is the best quality. We have had reason this past week to be at the repair shop with the scooter for a fuel pump issue. The mechanic in there suggested to use 91 Octane and also suggested BP or Shell fuel is best to use. His reason was that the higher octane fuels are notorious for clogging up the fuel pumps of scooters and motorbikes alike. Our internet searches on this don't really suggest strongly one way or another. The girl in me tends to want to go with what the 'professional' mechanic says. But then I also have trust in my friend as he hasn't led us astray yet... So, what fuel do you use and why?"

"text": "Components Watt Hours; Calculating E-bike Range August 1, 2012 115 Comments Components, Technical Eric Hicks Watt hours is a way to measure the energy capacity of a battery pack, so you know what to expect from your new E-bike in terms of range performance. To calculate the watt hours (WH) of a battery pack, simply multiply the voltage by the amp hours (Ah) of the pack. A 36-volt 10-Ah battery pack has 360 watt hours (36 X 10 = 360). If you are nitty with your energy usage, each mile you travel will cost you about 20 watt hours. Therefore a 360 watt hour pack will get you about 18 miles. The range can vary widely depending on where and how you ride. Watt hours determine the range of your bike, the cost of your bike, and the weight of your bike….three very important factors to consider when buying an electric bike. Batteries come in different cell qualities. Name brand cells such as Samsung, Panasonic and A123 will last longer (number of charge cycles) than no-name Chinese cells. Of course if your pack consists of name brand cells, the cost per watt hour will be much higher."

We found that more money buys a lightweight frame made of carbon fiber, aluminum (or a combination of both materials), or high-strength steel and other high-quality components. But you can still buy a good bike for just a few hundred dollars. Decide What Kind of Riding You'll Do That will narrow your choice to one of the four basic types. If you're an avid cyclist, you may prefer a conventional road bike. Looking for a leisurely ride on flat, paved roads? A comfort bike may be more your speed. If rugged trails are in your sights, than a mountain bike might be best. Find a Good Bike Shop You'll pay more, but we think you're more likely to be satisfied."

Flag How much does the average dirt bike cost? Answer by John Laclair Confidence votes 442000-4000 dollars. This is very average though. It would depend on if you are buying it used or new. Other things it would depend is condition, brand, seller, and the parts they put into it. I would say if you are buying a quality dirt bike new it would cost anywhere between 2,000-14,000 dollars. Used would probably be anywhere from 500-9,000 dollars. There are more expensive ones but this is for a quality dirt bike, not an extremely professional dirt bike.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

I know that batteries have a limited life, but if anyone has any experience or views on how long you can expect the rest of the kit to last (in cycling distance), I'd appreciate your response. Thanks. Brambor Well-Known Member Feb 3, 2015 #2I am skeptical. For me 3years would be great. Anything longer is a bonus. SSharonerd New Member Feb 3, 2015 #3why so short? Are you a heavy duty user? Ann M. Administrator Feb 3, 2015 #4Hi @Sharonerd , Lifespan is relative to the quality of kit you buy, type of battery, how you're using it and consistent regular maintenance (like checking tire pressure, lube the chain, etc.) What's your goal for the kit?"

"text": "\"ABOUT BIKE WEIGHTEveryone talks about bicycle weight. It consumes our discussions. Magazine reviews make it clear that if the very lightest parts are not chosen, if it is not as light as possible, the bicycle being examined is suspect. Light weight has become the sine qua non of a good bicycle. A light bicycle is a good bicycle, without any further discussion of its other merits or qualities. Can we step back for a moment? Let's get some numbers. Let us see if, as I believe, the handy availability of a single number has led people to make poor decisions in their choice of bicycle. First of all, weight is important. If it weren't, we would all be enjoying pleasant 75-mile rides on 42-pound Schwinn Varsity bikes."

Many people think that the most important question is “How much does this bike weigh?” We feel that we need to comment on this aspect of road bike performance, a factor that we feel is important, but maybe overrated. Lots of people are currently considering buying their first road bike ever, after years of mountain biking. Everyone has heard stories about the extremely lightweight road bikes that are currently being used by pro racers. Actually, the governing body of pro cycling, the UCI (International Cyclists Union) has set a minimum weight of 14.99 pounds for a race-legal road bike. We would wager that virtually all major bike manufacturers have the capability of building bikes that are even lighter than 15 pounds. Do you really want or need a bike that light? Most road bikes sold in the U. S. cost less than $2,000. To mountain bikers accustomed to MTB price tags that are somewhat lower, sticker shock is the first reaction."

"text": "Gear Made to Last: Our 10 Favorite Products With a Lifetime Warranty We’ve all heard the old adage, “They don’t make ’em like they used to.” You hear that saying and reminisce about all the times your grandfather told you a pair of work boots lasted him 20 years without needing a re-sole, and how he only owned one pair of underwear for his whole ridiculous life—and he probably wasn’t even lying. Unfortunately, with most modern consumer products—everything from automobiles and household appliances, to work boots and denim jeans—that old saying is getting truer by the day. Quality of manufacturing has declined over the last few decades, with fewer and fewer companies really standing behind their products. But don’t worry, because here are ten companies who, with their lifetime warranties, would probably say we’re full of shit: Like Tweet Zippo Manufacturing Company The world’s most well known lighter manufacturer, Zippo has pumped out quality USA-made lighters since the 1930s. But when you buy a Zippo, you’re doing more than buying a lighter; you’re making a lifetime investment in heritage and quality. In fact, the company’s lifetime guarantee is so cut and dry, their famously trademarked saying is, “It works or we fix it free.” It’s worth noting that such a blanketed statement applies only to Zippo’s signature (and, luckily, most common) windproof lighters. Other products, like their fire starters, hand warmers, writing instruments, and butane lighters, do come with warranties, but of varying lengths and degrees. Link Darn Tough Vermont Socks With a warranty as good as Darn Tough’s, we really have to wonder how these guys are still in business."

"text": "What is EVA? We have a long list of eco friendly shoe brands here at Planet Shoes.com that use EVA as the material for the footbed of their shoe. EVA is a dense foam which acts as an excellent and durable shock absorber in the sole of many shoes. Originally popularized in athletic shoe soles, EVA is now being used industry wide and in a wide variety of shoe shapes and styles. EVA actually stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate and is a polymer widely used in a number of applications – from biomedical engineering to photovoltaic modules (solar panels). In the case of footwear, these companies are using the expanded rubber of foam version forms of the polymer. The reason EVA is considered more eco-friendly is that it doesn’t use chlorine in its production. This means there is less toxicity released during degradation in a land fill somewhere if you discard your shoes. Recycled EVA footbed material is considered even more eco-friendly because not only is the material itself environmentally safer, but it is likewise not being simply discarded and is instead being re-used again and again. EVA is also widely used in Vegan shoes because it is man made and animal friendly."

"text": "Metamorphism: open or closed? Posted on 23 November, 2011 by Metageologist Thermobarometry is the art of inferring Pressure and Temperature conditions by relating the composition of a metamorphic rock to a thermodynamic model, assuming chemical equilibrium was achieved. That’s the single sentence summary, but as usual, things are more complicated if you look in more detail. I’ve discussed elsewhere reasons why chemical equilibrium may not be achieved – in summary, where the rocks are not hot for long enough, or where reaction kinetics (the details of how minerals grow) control metamorphic mineral growth. Can we at least be certain of the composition of the rock? That must stay the same, surely? Nope. Granulite facies sillimanite-garnet-spinel metasediment. Where did all of this stuff come from? A major assumption when making thermobarometric calculations is that you are dealing with a closed system, that you have the same bunch of atoms at the end as you do in the beginning."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Rocks that have been solid-state changed by pressure and temperature; that means they were not melted, but they still streched, flowed, and changed their minerals while still maintaining its strength as a rock. QFL 24-7 · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Definition Of Metamorphic Rock Source (s):https://shrink.im/a8AGXzubik · 2 years ago0 0 Comment Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of a pre-existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means \"\"change in form\"\". The protolith is subjected to heat (greater than 150 degrees Celsius) and extreme pressure causing profound physical and/or chemical change. The protolith may be sedimentary rock, igneous rock or another older metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust and are classified by texture and by chemical and mineral assemblage (metamorphic facies). They are formed deep beneath the Earth's surface by great stresses from rocks above and high pressures and temperatures. They are also formed by the intrusion of molten rock, called magma, into solid rock and form particularly at the place of contact between the magma and solid rock where the temperatures are high. The study of metamorphic rocks (now exposed at the Earth's surface following erosion and uplift) provides us with very valuable information about the temperatures and pressures that occur at great depths within the Earth's crust. Some examples of metamorphic rocks are gneiss, slate, marble, and schist."

As a result, the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. They do not melt, but the minerals they contain are changed chemically, forming metamorphic rocks. Sometimes, metamorphic rocks are formed when rocks are close to some molten magma, and so get heated up. Metamorphic rocks may form from rocks heated by magma Remember that metamorphic rocks are not made from melting rock.

They often have large crystals (you can see then with the naked eye). Metamorphic; they are formed through the change (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form both underground and at the surface. Sedimentary; they are formed through the solidification of sediment. They can be based off of organic remains (such as limestone), or just form from the cementing of other rocks. Now, the long story, which is much more interesting, is this: Igneous Rocks Lava flow on Hawaii. Lava is the extrusive equivalent of magma. Image via Wiki Commons.

"text": "Physical Geography Earth Science Types of Rocks: Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary The Three Main Rock Groups It was James Hutton (1727-1797), the famous 18th century geologist, who popularised the idea of a Rock Cycle, demonstrating the relationships between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The Rock Cycle relies on the upper part of the earth ( mantle, crust and surface) acting like an automatic recycling system. The material from which rocks are made isn't destroyed when they are weathered and eroded, but is recycled, forming new types of rocks. This process is continuous and is assumed to have worked in the same ways since the earth was formed. There are many different rocks on the Earth and other planets, but every single one can be fitted into one of the three main groups; Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary. The groups are defined according to the origins of the rocks. In other words, the way in which a rock is created determines the group to which it belongs. Within each group the characteristics of the rocks can vary greatly, in colour, hardness, mineral composition and texture, but they will all have a common type of origin. Let's look briefly at each of the groups. Igneous Rocks The word Igneous comes from the latin, ignis, meaning fire."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A diagram of the rock cycle.1 = magma; 2 = crystallization (freezing of rock); 3 = igneous rocks; 4 = erosion; 5 = sedimentation; 6 = sediments & sedimentary rocks; 7 = tectonic burial and metamorphism; 8 = metamorphic rocks; 9 = melting. The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

It is presented in practically every introductory geology textbook as a sort of broad, all-encompassing framework for understanding the details of rocks and minerals -- the traditional bread and butter of geology. The processes involved in this cycle are generally well-known and thoroughly covered in textbooks, but next to nothing has been done on the rates and behavior of the system as a whole. Our goal here is to develop and then experiment with a model of the rock cycle. In designing the system, it will help to refer to the figure of the rock cycle shown below. In this figure, the boxes represent different kinds of rocks and the arrows represent processes that not only transport materials from one reservoir to another, they also transform the rocks, causing them to change their form. So for instance, one kilogram of granite, a plutonic igneous rock, is broken down by variety of chemical and physical weathering processes when it is exposed and this kilogram of material then takes the form of sedimentary particles that commonly get transported away from the site of weathering to a final resting place where the are deposited and eventually form a kilogram of sedimentary rock. In reality, some of the starting kilogram is carried away in solution and ends up in the ocean where it will eventually be deposited, perhaps with the help of some organism, to form another kind of sedimentary rock. So, our starting kilogram of granite may end up getting dispersed to different places, but it will all end up forming a sedimentary rock -- conservation of mass applies to these processes of transformation if we consider them on a global scale. Another important point to understand is that the reservoirs do not really represent things that have well-defined boundaries like a tub of water; each reservoir represents a particular state or condition of rock-forming materials."

"text": "\"GEOLOGY/GEOPHYSICS 101 Program 22Metamorphic Rocks Well, hello, again and welcome. I'm glad you could join us today for our program on \"\"Metamorphic Rocks. \"\" Well, in past lessons we've learned how atoms are rearranged when they're exposed to new conditions at the Earth's surface. We've seen how chemical weathering rearranges atoms; we've seen how atoms in collections, piles of sediments are deposited and turned into sedimentary rock, but rearrangements of atoms also take place when rocks are buried deep in the Earth's crust and exposed to heat,pressure, and hot water. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre- existing rocks as atoms arrange themselves in new crystal structures. Everything we know comes indirectly from occurrences of rocks and laboratory studies, but we do know that metamorphic rocks usually form at plate boundaries in connection with mountain building processes and with igneous intrusions. The conditions deep in the earth are different enough that these different conditions cause minerals different from those which form at the surface. For example, surface weathering process, which is also a change of the types of minerals causes hard rocks to change into small crumbly pieces. Metamorphism, on the other hand, takes place at high temperature and pressure and changes those same soft sedimentary rocks back into hard crystalline solids. Metamorphic rocks are complicated because you have only a few parent rock types which can provide different kinds of atoms for starting materials like the basic ingredients used in cooking, but the different conditions create many different products."

Hydrothermal Mineral Deposits It is probable that more mineral deposits have been formed by deposition from hydrothermal (literally - hot water) solutions than any other process. Much research has therefore focused on understanding the types of fluids that produce the deposits and where they are likely to form. Mineralisation occurs deep underground where it can not be seen. By the time the deposit is exposed through the agents of uplift and erosion, the hydrothermal solutions that carried the metals are no longer present. Nevertheless, many details of the processes of deposition are now understood, although much research still needs to be done. Composition of the Solutions The principle ingredient of hydrothermal solutions is water."

It is aimed at being practical and useful in the field, particularly for prospecting purposes. Deposits are classified into primary and secondary deposits. Primary deposits include igneous and metamorphic deposits. Igneous gem corundum deposits are rare and include sapphire-bearing syenites from Kenya. Emphasis is put on metamorphic deposits, that are subdivided into metamorphic s.s., metasomatic, and anatectic deposits. Many gem corundum deposits result from metasomatic processes. Small-scale metasomatism mostly involves desilication reactions between silico-aluminous rocks (pegmatites, gneisses, etc) and silica-poor rocks (ultramafites, meta-carbonates), and leads to the formation of limited-size deposits. Large-scale (diffuse) metasomatism is usually more difficult to characterize, and therefore is not separated from isochemical metamorphism in this classification."

Nelson Radiometric Dating This document last updated on 05-Nov-2006Prior to 1905 the best and most accepted age of the Earth was that proposed by Lord Kelvin based on the amount of time necessary for the Earth to cool to its present temperature from a completely liquid state. Although we now recognize lots of problems with that calculation, the age of 25 my was accepted by most physicists, but considered too short by most geologists. Then, in 1896, radioactivity was discovered. Recognition that radioactive decay of atoms occurs in the Earth was important in two respects: It provided another source of heat, not considered by Kelvin, which would mean that the cooling time would have to be much longer. It provided a means by which the age of the Earth could be determined independently. Principles of Radiometric Dating Radioactive decay is described in terms of the probability that a constituent particle of the nucleus of an atom will escape through the potential (Energy) barrier which bonds them to the nucleus. The energies involved are so large, and the nucleus is so small that physical conditions in the Earth (i.e. T and P) cannot affect the rate of decay. The rate of decay or rate of change of the number N of particles is proportional to the number present at any time, i.e. Note that d N/dt must be negative. The proportionality constant is l, the decay constant."

"text": "\" (Part three following the basics of metamorphic reactions & contact metamorphism)Ok, so now we want to make a garnet schist from our mud–I’m assuming this is a garnet-muscovite-biotite paraschist, since that’s what most people envision when they think garnet schist. ( I’m actually going to take this one step further and go all the way to a migmatite.) Remember, we’re starting with a water-rich, Si + Al-rich protolith that has some Fe2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+ as well. In order to get a schist, we need to have foliated rocks, which are due to a differential pressure. The most common cause of differential pressure is orogenesis or a mountain-building event. An orogeny occurs when plate tectonics cause the collision of 2+ plates. The rocks caught in the middle become squished and heated transforming from shales into a variety of foliated metamorphic rocks. Almost all mountain belts in the world are due to orogenesis and most are composed of a mix of foliated metamorphic rocks, intrusive igneous rocks with associated contact metamorphic aureoles, extrusive igneous rocks, and a mix of sedimentary rocks from non-calm environments.oldest at bottom, youngest at top–but note the basin closing & the rocks being trapped and therefore metamorphosed in the middle ( http://image.absoluteastronomy.com/images/encyclopediaimages/a/ap/appalachian_orogeny.jpg) [disclaimer: this model of the Appalachian orogenies is out-of-date, though the concept is fine]The mud to shale transformation will be the same, so we’re start with the shale. This time we’re going to force the rock to undergo a differential stress (stress is simply pressure over a specific a specific area) concurrent with increasing the temperature. Because of the differential stress, the existent minerals either rotate or grow parallel to the minimum stress direction.unfoliated -> foliated development of elongate / platy minerals (http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/eens212/metatexture.htm)At relatively low temperatures, the rock will become a slate."

Geologic History of the North Fork The geology of the North Fork American more or less exemplifies the regional pattern, so from the beginning we must address local geology within the context of Sierran geology. Of course, the broader contexts are those of Californian geology, North American geology, the geology of the Earth, planetary geology, and finally, galactic and pan-galactic cosmology. Of these last it should be remarked that the most abundant chemical element in the universe is also the simplest: hydrogen. Further, the light and other forms of energy emitted by stars is largely derived from the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. The process does not stop there, for within the hearts of stars, under tremendous pressure and heat, helium in turn is transformed into still heavier and more complex elements."

If the conditions are changed by movements in the earth's crust or by igneousactivity, metamorphism occurs to reestablish equilibrium and changes the physical character of therock mass. Characteristics of Metamorphism In general, a metamorphic rock is coarser and has a higher density and lower porosity than the rockfrom which it was formed. Under low grade metamorphic conditions, the original rocks may onlycompact, as in the formation of slate from shale. High grade metamorphism changes the rock so completely that the source rock often cannot be readily identified.

"text": "\"« Knowledge of heritability, ignorance of genes Putting off total transparency »The men of the north: the Sami By Razib Khan | December 8, 2010 1:19 pm Ole Magga, Norwegian politician On this blog I regularly get questions about the Sami (Lapp*). That’s because I often talk about Finnish genetics, have readers such as Clark who are of part-Sami origin, and, the provenance and character of the Sami speak to broader questions about the emergence of the modern European gene pool. More precisely questions about the Sami are relevant to the broader nature of the Finnic presence in Europe, and their relationship to other Baltic and northern populations. Are these people “indigenous” to Europe, or relatively newcomers (prehistoric Magyar or Turks).? These questions are prompted by the peculiarity of their languages (as well as the physical appearance of some of the Sami). With Basque they are the only living non-Indo-European European languages whose origins are prehistoric (Magyar and Turkish were arrivals within the last 1,000 years). ** Because of affinities to other Uralic languages which are found in Central Siberia it has often been conjectured that the Finns, Sami, and Estonians are relative newcomers to Norden from that region. This has some equivocal support from Y chromosomal lineages. On the other hand, there are those who argue that the Finnic peoples were present in the north of Europe before the arrival of Indo-European speakers (often these are Finnish nationalists). This has some support from maternal lineages ."

The \"\"speed-up high quality coach trains\"\" are proposed to run on the Delhi-Mumbai route. The ambitious plan, involving an expenditure of Rs 10,587 crore for 20 speed-up trains, has triggered a debate in the railway department with several members finding the project unfeasible given the current condition of the railways. The feasibility study, presented in the railway board meeting on November 1, also took into account the additional cost of three to four thousand crore rupees that would be incurred in setting up the infrastructure to run the high-speed trains. The feasibility proposal (a copy of which is with Mail Today) has evoked sharp criticism from former board members and railway brass, with some sniffing a \"\"scam\"\" and \"\"favouritism\"\" to a particular company. \"\" It is learnt that companies like Altstom, Bombardier and Siemens are in the race to grab the contract.

I’m not a shut-in…I realised that there were different definitions out there, I simply hadn’t lived where I was defined by them before. In another post, I talked about Pan-Indianism, and also Pan-Métisism . What this post and those previous two have in common, is that they are about identity. The topic of Status was a much easier discussion, because I avoided delving into identity issues in order to give you the bare bones legislative context. Trust me, there are much larger identity discussions yet to be had on ‘who is an Indian’. More important, I’d argue, than just knowing the state of the categories right now…but you have to start from somewhere!“May Tea?” Painting by David Garneau, from the series Cowboys and Indians (and Métis? ) However, there is no real legislative context I can focus on when discussing who we are as Métis ."

It is hard to make out a difference between Aboriginal and first nation as they are the same. Though indigenous people are seen in many parts of the world, these two terms — Aboriginal and first nation ‘“ refers to indigenous people of Canada. Of the two terms, Aboriginal is more commonly used than First Nations to describe all Indigenous peoples of Canada. Aboriginal people in Canada include First Nations, Metis and Inuit. On the other hand, First Nations refer to indigenous people in Canada other than Metis and Inuit. So it can be seen that Aboriginal is used in the larger sense and refers to all indigenous people whereas First Nations is not like that. Most of the time, First Nations only refers to Indian people. First Nations was a term that came into common usage in the 1980s. The term was coined to replace the term “Indian band” as some people found this term offensive."

The use of the term Métis is complex and contentious, and has different historical and contemporary meanings. The term is used to describe communities of mixed European and Indigenous descent across Canada, and a specific community of people — defined as the Métis Nation — which originated largely in Western Canada and emerged as a political force in the 19th century, radiating outwards from the Red River Settlement. While the Canadian government politically marginalized the Métis after 1885, they have since been recognized as an Aboriginal people with rights enshrined in the Constitution of Canada and more clearly defined in a series of Supreme Court of Canada decisions. Definitions and Terminology The use of the terms “Métis” and “métis” is complex and contentious. When capitalized, the term often describes people of the Métis Nation, who trace their origins to the Red River Valley and the prairies beyond. The Métis National Council (MNC), the political organization that represents the Métis Nation, defined “Metis” in 2002 as: “a person who self-identifies as Métis, is distinct from other Aboriginal Peoples, is of historic Métis Nation ancestry and who is accepted by the Métis Nation.”"

Human metaculture may refer as well to the characteristic style-patterning of a particular group in terms of its concrete manifestations, beliefs, ritual behaviors and customs, habits of dress, construction and organization of homes and communities, etc. Metaculture may also be used at a cross-cultural level to refer to systematic patterns of difference, sharing, contact, diffusion, change and integration of human cultural patterning at many different levels and in many different areas in which this patterning becomes manifest. Human Metaculture is the natural and rational consequence of human behavioral response to environments that is symbolically and cognitively mediated and socially shared and reinforced, primarily by means of human language. It can be expected to occur wherever and whenever human communities organize themselves for purposes of productive survival and reproductive success. The possibility and reality of human metacultural patterning, as the descriptive explanation of human systems, historically and sociologically, has been rooted in the natural history of human evolution, and cannot be divorced from this natural contexts of its origins or anthropogenesis. Briefly, I would define meta-culture as a systems approach to the problem of human culture, both generally defined as a theoretical and central anthropological concept, and defined in an applied and methodological sense in the various forms that metacultural application might take. I refer to metaculture as the basis of human systems because all human cultural patterning shares a fundamental basis in natural systems articulation--i.e., they are symbolically patterned based upon the common design features of the human brain, human language and the human capacity to use tools to manipulate the environment in deliberate, preconceived ways. Technology is a form of human metaculture, and in general technology tends to know no real cultural boundaries."

Programs, services and tax exemptions for Status Indians vary widely between the provinces and territories. Who qualifies? To receive benefits under the Indian Act, an individual must be registered in the Indian Register. The rules for eligibility have changed over the years, and as such there are a number of people who are eligible to reclaim status as a Registered Indian.

A Critical Inquiry The Battle of Seven Oaks was the climax of a confrontation between rival fur trading companies, the Northwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, in the early 19th century in the Red River area. On June 19th, 1816 Governor Robert Semple of the Selkirk Settlement, and 28 of his men (including English settlers and HBC company men) rode out to confront a party of mostly Metis, led by Cuthbert Grant, who were passing south of Fort Douglas along the Red River at a location known to the English as Seven Oaks, or la Grenouillière (Frog Plain) by the Métis. A gunfight began and within minutes, Semple and 20 of his men were killed while only one Metis died. Who was responsible for starting this? As I was teaching the unit on the N orthwest to my Grade 10 class, I found it curious that the Horizons text book (1999 edition) does not indicate who fired the first shot. This seems like an important detail, yet oddly omitted. When I asked my students who they thought started the battle, based on how it is presented in the text book, they concluded it must have been the Metis. The event is hardly portrayed “neutral” in the textbook. It includes a famous painting of the Battle which portrays the Metis as the aggressors."

The North American fur trade was the industry and activities related to the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Native Americans in the United States of different regions traded among themselves in the Pre-Columbian Era, but Europeans participated in the trade beginning from the time of their arrival in the New World and extended its reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada in the 17th century, and the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. The 19th-century North American fur trade, when the industry was at its peak of economic importance, involved the development of elaborate trade networks. The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income.

As this population established distinct communities separate from those of Indians and Europeans and married among themselves, a new Aboriginal people emerged - the Métis people – with their own unique culture, traditions, language (Michif), way of life, collective consciousness and nationhood. Distinct Métis communities developed along the routes of the fur trade and across the Northwest within the Métis Nation Homeland. This Homeland includes the three Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta), as well as, parts of Ontario, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and the Northern United States. Today, many of these historic Métis communities continue to exist along rivers and lakes where forts and posts were hubs of fur trade activity from Ontario westward. As well, large numbers of Métis citizens now live in urban centres within the Métis Nation Homeland; however, even within these larger populations, well-defined Métis communities exist. Consistently throughout history, the Métis people have acted collectively to protect and fight for their rights, lands and ongoing existence as a distinct Aboriginal people and nation within the Canadian federation –from the Métis provisional governments of Riel in Manitoba (1869-70) and Saskatchewan (1885) to contemporary Métis governing bodies. This dedication continues to exist as citizens and communities throughout the Métis Nation Homeland keep the nation’s distinct culture, traditions, language and lifestyle alive and pursue their own social and economic development. According to the 2006 Census, almost 400,000 people reported they were Métis with almost 90% located in the western provinces and Ontario. The Métis were younger than non-Aboriginal people (25% of the Métis population was aged 14 and under compared to 17% in the non-Aboriginal population)."

In some cases (such as Kahnawake) individuals carried original surnames, switched (or were switched to) Westernized surnames – and then back again. The second layer of difficulty is that Native surnames were transcribed phonetically which led to spelling variations in the various official documents (that is, between different church registers, census documents, border crossings etc.). A last difficulty is with the varying quality and methodologies of the different indexing projects which makes it difficult to access the primary documents (microfilmed records) and cross-check with other indexes. My eventual goal is create a Master Index of Names carried by Natives, First Peoples and Metis in what is now Eastern Canada. Note 1 Over 90% of the couples listed are extracted from marriage records at Ancestry.com, Familysearch.org, BMS2000, and the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Vital Records. Note 2 When the date is missing and you see Married:? before ____ instead, it means that the couple is listed on the marriage record of a descendant, so the before date given is based on the marriage of the child."

It is the oldest Canadian patriotic flag indigenous to Canada. The Union Jack and the Royal Standard of New France bearing the fleur-de-lis are older, but these flags were first flown in Europe. As a symbol of nationhood, the Métis flag predates Canada's Maple Leaf flag by about 150 years! The flag bears a horizontal figure eight, or infinity symbol. The infinity symbol represents the coming together of two distinct and vibrant cultures, those of European and indigenous North America, to produce a distinctly new culture, the Métis. The flag symbolizes the creation of a new society with roots in both Aboriginal and European cultures and traditions. The sky blue background of the flag emphasizes the infinity symbol and suggests that the Métis people will exist forever. Maqtewekpaqtism, 31 May 2001Metis Metis Uprisings Louis Riel flag image by Jared Wehrle The Metis (people of mixed native Indian and European ancestry) staged two armed uprisings in the Canadian West (1869 and 1885), under the leadership of Louis Riel, in attempts to protect their historic rights against the encroachments of eastern Canadian settlers. The flag of the Republic of Manitoba, the \"\"Metis Republic\"\", flown over Fort Gary in 1869 showed a \"\"fleur-de-lis and shamrock against a white background, with a small buffalo on the fly\"\".

I know that he has my back and I have his, and we get each other's rhythm and style. We have a shorthand on set, so there's a layer of comfort when I work with Dom. \"\" While Miller is confident that newcomers will enjoy the show, he noted that there are Easter eggs that will enable fans of the original series to enjoy it on a deeper level. \"\" They might have to do a little bit of homework,\"\" Miller said of new fans."

"text": "Thu, 27 March 2008 at 4:14 pm Tweet Sarah Wayne Callies: Back from the Dead!In one crazy unexpected twist, Sarah Wayne Callies is coming back to Prison Break next season!! ! Yes, even after her character, Dr. Sara Tancredi was unexpectedly beheaded last season. Apparently she had a contract dispute with 20th Century last year but that’s all been resolved. In the fourth episode of season three (“Good Fences”), Sara ‘s head was presumably decapitated, placed in a box, and sent to Lincoln Burrows. So how can she be written back into the series? Prison Break executive producer Matt Olmstead tells TV Guide ,”Lincoln glanced at the head in the box for a split second. That could’ve been anyone. He wasn’t about to pull it up from the hair and inspect it closely. ”Olmstead also admitted that the fans affected the decision to bring back Sarah. “… once we started talking about it, it was mentioned again that fans are still wondering about her."

"text": "The Flash/ 19 Jan 2015The Flash: Prison Break's Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell on Reuniting as Captain Cold and Heat Wave Share. The actors on re-teaming as the bad guys this time. By Eric Goldman Wentworth Miller made his debut a couple of months ago on The Flash as Captain Cold and when he returns in Tuesday’s new episode he’ll have a notable ally – DC Comics villain Heat Wave, played by Dominic Purcell. Yes, Miller and his former Prison Break costar – the man who played his brother for four years – are reuniting on The Flash, as the two now both have recurring roles on the series. I sat down with Miller and Purcell to discuss their big TV reunion, getting to play the bad guys this time and more. IGN: I was on the set of the next episode, and it was exciting watching you guys in full costume, playing out this big fight scene in the streets with Grant [Gustin], dressed as The Flash. Whether you knew the source material or not going in, is there just that fun little kid thing – like, “This is such a crazy part of our job”? Purcell: Absolutely. As I said before, I’ve had the most fun with this character and a lot of characters I’ve done. It brings you back as a child, playing Cowboys and Indians."

"text": "\"A Prison Break reunion is coming to TV — on The Flash, that is. Dominic Purcell has boarded The CW comic-book drama as a DC Comics villain, reuniting with his Prison Break co-star Wentworth Miller in the 10th episode, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. This marks the first time Purcell and Miller, who played brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield, will have appeared together since Prison Break ended in 2009. Purcell will play Mick Rory, a pyromaniac who finds an outlet for his obsession with fire when he teams up with Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller) and becomes the villain known as Heatwave. Miller was cast in The Flash back in July and makes his debut in episode four. Purcell's character will also be heard from in that same episode. In DC Comics lore, Heatwave is a member of the Rogues, led by Captain Cold. Heatwave has been featured in animated form on shows such as Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Other major Prison Break castmembers have been featured in the Arrow/The Flash universe. Robert Knepper (\"\"T-Bag\"\") played The Clock King on Arrow and is set to reprise his role on The Flash, and Peter Stormare (John Abruzzi) is Count Vertigo on the new season of Arrow."

"text": "\"Movie Review Hamlet The extraordinary telling of a classic tale. US Release Date: 12-19-1990Directed by: Franco Zeffirelli Starring Mel Gibson as Hamlet Glenn Close as Gertrude Alan Bates as Claudius Paul Scofield as The Ghost Ian Holm as Polonius Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia Stephen Dillane as Horatio Nathaniel Parker as Laertes Sean Murray as Guildenstern Michael Maloney as Rosencrantz Trevor Peacock as The Gravedigger Pete Postlethwaite as Player King Scott : Patrick : Eric : Avg: Scott : Reviewed on: February 18th, 2012Alas, poor Mel Gibson! I knew him when he was on top of the world. In 1990 Mel Gibson was on top of the world. He was the star of the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max series of films along with many others, some, like The Year of Living Dangerously, even critically respected. In 1985 he was People Magazine's original Sexiest Man Alive. As popular as he was at the time though, the idea of his portraying Hamlet was a bold one. It certainly wasn't an obvious choice either by the filmmakers or by Gibson himself. Not only does he deserve credit for taking on the role, he actually does a surprisingly good job in the part. Isaac Asimov told a story of a woman who read Hamlet for the first time and said, \"\"I don't see why people admire that play so."

Anthony, was a former soldier and a high ranking operative for The Company . Contents [ show]Family Father - Mr. Morgan Sister - Rita Morgan Significant Other - Jonathan Krantz Daughter - Emily Morgan Biography Background When Theodore Bagwell was looking through Gretchen's file, he mentioned her father. She worked for the Company as a high-ranking operative, and conceived her child - Emily Morgan - from General Jonathan Krantz, who was presumably her lover at the time. Gretchen shows, through early flashbacks, how she was imprisoned and tortured during the Iraq war, something that has left her tough and resilient, but also empathetic in her weaker moments. When she is tortured by General Zavala, Zavala observes how she does not break down during torture, and notes that it is not the first time she has been tortured. Season 3Main article: Gretchen Morgan on Season 3 She first appeared hiding her scratch on her cheeks with make up. Later, she lured Lincoln to meet her at Garfield Price Building by telling L. J. Burrows, whom she hold as hostage, to inform Lincoln about the meeting. She later reveals how much she knew about the brothers and offered Lincoln to watch a video: Inside the video, L. J. Burrows and Sara Tancredi are hold as hostages."

In these roles, the two characters he plays share similarities such as being extremely intelligent, not wanting to kill other people, have a great bond with the character played by Dominic Purcell, fall in love with a woman named Sara, and come back from dead. In the episode \"\" Fail-Safe \"\", Leonard Snart says: \"\"This isn't my first prison break\"\" referring to his criminal past, but also to this series where he plays the role of Michael Scofield, trying to break out his brother Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell, who is Mick Rory/Heat Wave . Going in line with his own homosexuality and ties to the LGBT community, Miller pitched his character as being pansexual, stating that if he were to meet someone with the right combination of wits, smarts, and badassery, he'd be into them regardless of gender. Miller previously did the voice of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke in the animated DC series Young Justice, though he was later replaced by Fred Tatasciore."

"text": "\"Can A True Believer Depart from the Faith? Can a Saved Person Totally Abandon His Faith in Christ? July 30, 1999Dear Pastor,Thank you for sending me your tapes. Your presentation of God’s simple plan of salvation honors the God of grace and the grace of God. There were some things shared on the tapes that concerned me which I will now reluctantly share. I consider you a likeminded believer in so many ways and I have appreciated so much your Bible teaching ministry and because of this it troubled me when I discovered an area where we apparently are not in agreement. My main concern is your teaching that denies that a true believer will continue in the faith to the end. Unless I have misunderstood you, you believe that a truly saved person can stop believing and totally depart from the faith. He can have a faith that does not endure. You gave an example of Believer A (though you did not label him as such) who believes on Christ on his deathbed and then dies one day later."

"text": "\"The Fox River Eight. The Company. Lechero and the Sona inmates. Donald Self and his odd squad of agents. Really, the insane plot twists littered throughout Prison Break are only possible because of the insane characters, of which there are many. The Fox series makes its improbable comeback April 4, returning for a fifth season, years and years after seemingly ending the plight of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) in as definitive terms as humanly possible: death via electrocution. Then again, this is the same show where a woman was decapitated in season three and then returned in season four with her head fully intact, so…let's just go ahead and say death is a flexible creature in the case of Prison Break, and move on from there. With only a few weeks still to go before Prison Break returns, let's take stock of the men and women, inmates and operatives, who made the show so memorable. Here's our ranking of the show's main characters, a list we're defining by series regulars and a few notable guest stars — namely, some of the major players from the Fox River State Penitentiary and Company sides of the aisle.

View gallery Share Get celebs updates directly to your inbox+ Subscribe It's hard to believe Prison Break is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The show debuted on FOX on August 29, 2005 to an estimated audience of 10.5 million viewers. After rave reviews it went on to complete four seasons when the show ended in 2009. Fans will be pleased to know it's coming back in 2016 but until then we have the memories. Video Loading Starring Wentworth Miller it was a gritty serial drama of a man on the edge. If you still can't remember the series, the synopsis reads: “Michael Scofield is a desperate man in a desperate situation. His brother, Lincoln Burrows, was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and put on Death Row. Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside his brother in Fox River State Penitentiary, then sets in motion a series of elaborate plans to break Lincoln out and prove his innocence."

After his father, Aldo Burrows, deserted the family before his birth, Michael took up his mother's maiden name as his own surname in order to start a new life because she told him that his father was an alcoholic and drug user (which was later proved untrue). ( 1x4) When Michael was 11 and Lincoln, his older brother, was 15, their mother (then aged 31) supposedly died of a brain aneurysm brought on by a brain tumor (she is later found to be alive), though it was initially thought to be liver cancer. Lincoln became his guardian and tried his best to take care of him."

Nowadays, most of us have multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptop computers, or e Readers. With all of these devices comes a variety of different chargers to keep track of, which raises the question as to whether some of these devices can use the same charger. While the latest versions of devices that use Micro-USB chargers and connectors are now supposed to be standardized, meaning they could be used with all devices that use Micro-USB, this does not mean that all chargers for all other devices are interchangeable. Smartphone Chargers For smartphones such as Android, Blackberry, and Windows phones, Micro-USB connectors are now used. These differ from the old style chargers these devices used to have. Apple has created a Lightning to Micro-USB adapter that complies with the European Union’s regulations for having a common charger for smartphones. Apple Devices And Chargers For Apple products, as of 2012 the company now offers a standardized Lightning connector for their latest versions of i Pod Touches, i Pod Nanos, i Pads, i Phones. All of the newer devices have the Lightning connector and connect to any Lightning charger that is a certified Apple product."

"text": "Tania Brejo, Special Projects Director at Health Tips BD 24 (2016-present)Updated Aug 22, 2017 · Author has 147 answers and 51k answer views Before we go any further, it’s important to note the difference between standards (like USB 3.1, 3.0 and USB 2.0) and ports or plugs (like USB Type-A, Type-B or Type-C). The version of the USB standard (3.1, 2.0, etc.) indicates the speed and the function of the cable. The USB Types are the shape of the cable plugs and the shape of their ports in your computer or device. There are many kinds, most of which you probably already know. USB Type-A is the familiar rectangular port. It is the largest USB port and is often found on computers and car chargers. The device that has the USB Type-A port is almost always the host device, a.k.a. the main device that is accepting other devices, providing the electricity, and controlling the data transfers. Examples of host devices with USB Type-A ports include desktop computers, laptops, gaming PCs, and even routers, gaming consoles and televisions."

Here's everything you need to know as new USB-C phones rush out.by Jessica Dolcourt October 26, 2016 5:00 AM PDTSarah Tew/CNETThere's a tiny-but-terrific change happening in phoneland. USB Type-C, or USB-C is a new protocol for the charger port phone makers are embracing in droves. You can learn more about it here, but the bottom line is that the USB protocol for phones, tablets, laptops and accessories is changing for the better.41USB Type-C is taking over -- here are the phones to prove it Reversible and interchangeable USB-C basically describes the plug's shape. If you use an Android phone, for example, the connector shape of the previous standard is USB-B and the flat one on your computer is called USB-A. Apple's Lightning port is completely proprietary and won't work with USB-C, despite their similar shapes. USB-C is reversible, which means that unlike the Micro-USB plug you used on your last phone (a USB-B shape), you can stick in a USB-C cable any which way; either side is \"\"up.\"\" No more fumbling around or swearing under your breath when you have trouble plugging in. Related links USB Type-C: One cable to connect them all Hands-on with USB-C: It's great Meet the first phone with the USB Type-C port Since USB-C will affect the entire electronics spectrum, your USB-C phone can soon share charging cords with other devices, too. A bonus. Best features slowly coming USB-Connector ports also support the USB 3.1 standard, and this is where things get a little confusing."

"text": "Find a Retailer Need Help? Shop Learn Blog Support0 log in register Product Menu Education Forum Home USB Buying Guide USB Buying Guide One day in 1994, seven world-leading technology companies sat down and created a new standard for connecting computer peripherals. By “one day,” of course I mean, “over the span of several months.” But all technicalities aside, the standard that they laid down became the Universal Serial Bus, or USB for short. Today, USB is truly a ‘Universal’ standard and you’d be hard-pressed to find an electronic device that doesn’t have a USB port of one kind or another. But how do you know which USB cable will fit your device? Hopefully this buying guide will help you find the cable that you need for your next project. What Does USB Do? USB cables replace the huge variety of connectors that used to be standard for computer peripherals: Parallel ports, DB9 Serial, keyboard and mouse ports, joystick and midi ports… Really, it was getting out of hand. USB simplifies the process of installing and replacing hardware by making all communications adhere to a serial standard which takes place on a twisted pair data cable and identifies the device that’s connected."

"text": "\"USB Connector Guide — Guide to USB Cables What are USB Connectors? Universal Serial Bus (USB) was developed in the 1990s in an effort to simplify the connections between computers and peripheral devices. It has become widely popular due to its compatibility with many platforms and operating systems, its low cost of implementation, and its ease of use. Most computers that are built today come with several USB ports, and USB is the interface of choice for most home and office peripherals including printers, cameras, modems, and portable storage devices. USB standards are developed and maintained by an industry body called the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). In its original specification, USB defined only two connector types: A and B. Revisions to the specification and demands on manufacturers have expanded the breadth of connectors used for USB devices, but the majority of USB products still use these A and B connector interfaces. Which USB connector do you want to learn more about? USB A-Type USB B-Type USB C-Type Micro-USB A Micro-USB B USB Mini-b (5-pin)USB Mini-b (4-pin) USB 3.0 A-Type USB 3.0 B-Type USB 3.0 Micro BMore connectors available: Micro-USB AB USB Mini-b (Fuji)USB A-Type Male: Female:image to expand Found on host controllers in computers and hubs, the A-style connector is a flat, rectangular interface. This interface holds the connection in place by friction which makes it very easy for users to connect and disconnect. Instead of round pins, the connector uses flat contacts which can withstand continuous attachment and removal very well."

[ 3]USB was designed to standardize the connection of computer peripherals (including keyboards, pointing devices, digital cameras, printers, portable media players, disk drives and network adapters) to personal computers, both to communicate and to supply electric power. It has largely replaced interfaces such as serial ports and parallel ports, and has become commonplace on a wide range of devices. USB connectors have replaced other types for battery chargers of portable devices. Released in 1996, the USB standard is currently maintained by the USB Implementers Forum (USB IF)."

"text": "\"Job Interviews Interview Q&AInterview Questions About Computer Skills How to Prepare the Best Answers About Technical Proficiency Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Alison Doyle Updated March 30, 2018When you are interviewing for a job, a typical question is \"\"What computer skills do you have and what programs are you comfortable using? \"\" Of course, the answer for this question will vary widely depending on the job for which you are applying. If you are applying for a high-tech position that requires lots of information technology skills, for example, you should know your skills and experience like the back of your hand and be able to recount them without issue. However, if you're applying for a position that requires lighter computer skills, you may need some assistance coming up with a strong an answer. Read below for some helpful tips and sample answers. How to Answer Interview Questions About Computer Skills The most common software currently being used for office work is word processing software like Microsoft Word, spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, and presentation software like Microsoft Power Point. It's important to refresh your skills with these basic programs. Some companies may prefer Apple software and Mac computers, though if you're only expected to do basic computer work, you will probably be working with Microsoft programs. Keep in mind that most job applicants will have experience with these Microsoft programs, and most employers will expect you to as well. Therefore, state that you are fluent or experienced with these software programs, but don’t spend too much time elaborating on this."

By Evan Dashevsky February 23, 2015 8:00AM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy Yes, it's true. The Web is dead. It's not that people aren't using The Internet anymore—they certainly are—it's just that users are moving away from the browser-based \"\"Web\"\" environment and into the mobile app-centric world. Two quick illustrations: 1) Instagram has long been a true force in the social sphere, but it was years before it had a Web-based interface. Its entire model was mobile-based—the website was secondary. 2) Over the past years, we here at PCMag have even found it increasingly difficult to bring together our annual Top 100 Websites feature. Back in the early 'aughts, it was a sinch. Today, it's a stretch. ( Good thing we have so many other great app roundups )."

Founded in 2005 by Luke Kanies, Puppet is best known for its configuration management tool (offered in both open source and commercial formats) and its automation software. Since its inception, Puppet has grown considerably. Its reach now extends to offices not only in the U. S. (Portland, Oregon) but in London, Ireland, Australia and the Czech Republic as well. According to Puppet, more than 35,000 companies use the Puppet tool and software. The PCP validates a candidate's technical knowledge and expertise administering systems using Puppet. While there are no formal requirements to earn the PCP, successful candidates should possess an understanding of Puppet documentation and best practices, working with data (developing modules, external sources and data separation), and maintaining OS components. Candidates should also have hands-on experience using Puppet, and the company highly recommends that candidates take both the Foundation and Practitioner training courses (or possess equivalent skills) before attempting the exam. The cert does not expire, but exams are updated to match the current version of Puppet software."

"text": "Security > Identity Access Management Windows Azure Active Directory vs. Windows Server Active Directory Don’t let the name fool you: It’s very different, and it’s the future Sean Deuby | Feb 28, 2014There’s been a lot of confusion about Windows Azure Active Directory since it was unveiled to the public last year, though it has been running at scale for a while. Over the next few months, I’m going to cover the various combinations of Azure Active Directory and Windows Server Active Directory that you can use to support your company, and talk about the scenarios in which you might want to use them. Because Windows Azure Active Directory is a building block that's key to these architectures, it’s important to give you a sense of what Azure AD is and what it isn’t. How is Azure AD like Windows Server AD, and where is it different? Windows Azure Active Directory Really Is “AD in the Cloud” . . . Sort of Windows Server AD, specifically Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), provides authentication and authorization (access control) to applications, file services, printers, and other on-premises resources. It uses protocols such as Kerberos for authentication and LDAP for resource discovery. But AD DS, known to the world as just Active Directory (AD), wasn't designed to natively handle the world of web-based Internet services. Like AD DS, Windows Azure Active Directory also provides authentication and authorization to applications. Unlike AD DS, however, Azure AD was specifically designed to support web-based services that use RESTful interfaces--services such as Salesforce.com, Concur, Google Apps, and Office 365."

"text": "\"Windows 8 - Getting Your App into the Windows Store By Bruno Terkaly | June 2013With the right guidance, getting an application into the Windows Store is surprisingly easy. I should know—I’ve done it myself for two applications (Kids Car Colors and Teach Kids Music) and I’ve helped others submit hundreds of apps. I believe you can get a quality, useful app into the store in a weekend or two and in this article I’ll show you how to do just that in 10 simple steps. There are many reasons you should consider writing a Windows Store application for Windows 8. To start, with more than 100 million app downloads, the Windows Store is proving to be a viable ecosystem for entrepreneurs and developers. The opportunity to monetize your Windows developer skills has never been greater. One of my colleagues is already making more than $30,000 per month with a card game!Another good reason to think seriously about writing apps for software marketplaces is that the future of software development is clearly headed in this direction. Not too long ago, companies or individual developers identified or branded themselves by creating a Web site presence. Although that’s still the case, the emerging trend is to create and distribute software through Web-based marketplaces, such as the Windows Store. This software model solves a lot of headaches for budding entrepreneurs, because it minimizes the distracting challenges of customer acquisition, billing and collection, deployment, and installation—to name just a few."

In addition to doctor and pharmacy bills, there’s the cost of getting to and from those appointments. The IRS allows you to take a deduction for medical-related mileage, if you meet certain requirements. The deduction probably won’t make up for high gas prices or all the time you spent waiting in doctor’s office, but it will lower your taxes a little and maybe make those trips a little less painful to your pocketbook. Medical Expense Deduction You can deduct medical mileage as part of your overall medical expense deduction. The IRS limits the medical deduction to the amount of medical expenses in excess of 7.5 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income. You can deduct your out-of-pocket costs for doctor’s visits, prescriptions, eyeglasses, dental bills, medical equipment and other medical expenses, including mileage for trips to doctor’s offices, hospitals, therapists and pharmacies. Record Keeping You’ll need to keep records to support your mileage deductions. The simplest way to do this is to keep a log or notebook in your car and write down the date, beginning and ending mileage, and purpose of the trip each time you drive to a doctor’s appointment, to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription, or anywhere for medical treatment."

"text": "Spent a lot on medical care? Those costs may be deductible Kay Bell March 15, 2017 in Taxes Fam Veld/Getty Images If you spent a lot of money on medical costs last year, you might be able to write some of them off. But your medical bills have to exceed a high threshold before they count as deductions. The IRS lets you deduct medical costs on your tax return as long as they are more than 10 percent of your adjusted gross income. And only costs that exceed that amount can be deducted. Taxpayers who are 65 or older can still use the previous 7.5 percent threshold to claim itemized medical expenses from the 2016 tax year, though the 10 percent hurdle applies going forward. The percentage may seem unattainable at first glance, but with a little tax triage you might just meet it. Whose medical deductions can you count? Medical and dental bills for you, your spouse and your dependents — everyone listed on your tax return — count toward the allowable deduction limit. You might be able to count some medical expenses you paid for your parents, even if they aren’t considered your dependents for exemption purposes."

"text": "What Medical Expenses Can Be Written off on Taxes?17 Comments Follow Comments By Marlo Sollitto| Last Updated 3.5.2018Many caregivers and their aging loved ones rack up thousands of dollars every year in medical expenses. This includes items and services not covered by Medicare, co-pays and deductibles, even the amount of gas used to get to and from doctor’s appointments. Depending on the total amount you’ve spent over the past year, you might be able to deduct those medical expenses on your taxes. However, you must have an awful lot of medical expenses to take the deduction. “There are a number of requirements that a caregiver must meet to deduct medical expenses for themselves and the person they care for,” says Mark Luscombe, CPA, JD, LLM, principal federal tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. First and foremost, the person receiving care must meet certain support, income, relationship, citizenship and other tests to be claimed as a dependent by their caregiver. ( You can read more about whether you can claim a loved as a dependent here . )“ Secondly, the medical expenses must be of the type approved by the IRS as qualifying for the medical expense deduction,” Luscombe says. To qualify for the deduction, the total cost of your eligible unreimbursed medical expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). For example, if your AGI is $50,000, then the first $3,750 of medical expenses don’t count."

There are many tax deductions you may have overlooked that are laying around the house or while performing your day-to-day activities.1. Check your closets!You may have hundreds of dollars sitting in the back of your closet, under your bed, lying around the garage or in the trunk of your car. If you contribute old clothes, furniture and other items to a qualified charitable organization, you can deduct the wholesale fair market value of the contributions on IRS Form Schedule A. Clothing, furniture, sporting goods and computers are just a few examples of items charitable organizations will graciously accept. You can also deduct any expenses you many incur from your charitable actions. Did you buy snacks for a youth group? Use your car for a weekly Meals-on-Wheels trip? If so, you can deduct the expenses you incurred. Mileage may be deducted at a rate of 14 cents per mile if a vehicle is used for a charitable purpose. Just remember to get and keep all receipts from organizations for all of your good deeds."

When you prepare for the 2013 tax return, have you wondered if your acupuncture expense is tax deductible? The answer is yes. The costs of acupuncture and prescribed herbal medicine are deductible medical expenses, according to IRS. What are medical expenses? Acupuncture is an eligible medical expense based on the definition by IRS “the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of diseases, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. These expenses include payments for legal medical services rendered by physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners. They include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes. ”Who are medical practitioners? State licensed acupuncturists fall under the definition of “health care workforce” in the Affordable Care Act Section 5101, which includes all health care providers with direct patient care and support responsibilities, such as physician, nurses, nurse practitioners, … licensed complementary and alternative medicine providers, integrative health practitioners, and any other health professional that the Comptroller General of the United States determines appropriate."

"text": "How You Can Deduct Your Medical Expenses The new tax law keeps the 7.5 percent threshold for 2 years for all taxpayersby Dena Bunis, AARP, January 12, 2018 | Comments: 0Getty Images Nearly 9 million Americans deducted medical expenses in 2015, and nearly three-quarters of those taxpayers were older than 50, according to an analysis. The new federal tax law preserves the ability of millions of Americans with high medical expenses to deduct those costs from their returns. For the next two years, all taxpayers can write off health care spending that exceeds 7.5 percent of their income. The fate of this critical deduction had been uncertain during the congressional debate, as the House of Representatives’ Republican tax proposal eliminated it. The Senate GOP measure maintained the benefit, but at the 10 percent of income threshold, while restoring the lower 7.5 percent threshold for two years. AARP strongly urged congressional leaders to keep the deduction and restore the lower threshold. Nearly 9 million Americans deducted medical expenses in 2015, and nearly three-quarters of those taxpayers were older than 50, according to an analysis by the AARP Public Policy Institute. Of filers who used this deduction, 70 percent had incomes under $75,000, with 49 percent earning less than $50,000 a year. The deduction is particularly important to Medicare beneficiaries, who, AARP estimates, spend on average $5,680 each year on health expenses that Medicare doesn’t cover. In order to claim this deduction, filers must itemize their taxes."

Mission As a higher education institution, The Citadel’s mission is to educate and develop our students to become principled leaders in all walks of life by instilling the core values of The Citadel in a disciplined and intellectually challenging environment. A unique feature of this environment for the South Carolina Corps of Cadets is the sense of camaraderie produced through teamwork and service to others while following a military lifestyle. The Citadel strives to produce graduates who have insight into issues, ideas, and values that are of importance to society. It is equally important that Citadel graduates are capable of both critical and creative thinking, have effective communication skills, can apply abstract concepts to concrete situations, and possess the methodological skills needed to gather and analyze information. Throughout its history, The Citadel's primary purpose has been to educate undergraduates as members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and to prepare them for post-graduate positions of leadership through academic programs of recognized excellence supported by the best features of a military environment. The cadet lifestyle provides a structured environment that supports growth and development of each student’s intellect, discipline, physical fitness, and character values. The four pillars which define The Citadel experience for cadets consist of these four developmental dimensions. A complementary purpose of The Citadel, realized through The Citadel Graduate College is to provide the citizens of the Lowcountry and the State of South Carolina opportunities for professional development by offering a broad range of educational programs of recognized excellence at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. These programs are designed to accommodate the needs of non-traditional students seeking traditional and demanding academic challenges."

Air Force aeronautical ratings are military aviation skill standards established and awarded by the United States Air Force for commissioned officers participating in \"\"regular and frequent flight\"\", [n 1] either aerially or in space, in performance of their duties. USAF aeronautical badges, commonly referred to as \"\"wings\"\" from their shape and their historical legacy, are awarded by the Air Force in recognition of degrees of achievement and experience. Officers earning these badges and maintaining their requirements are classified as rated officers and receive additional pay and allowances. The first U. S. military aviator ratings were awarded in 1912, and the issuance of badges for recognition of the award began in 1913. The division of ratings into multiple skill levels and categories began in 1914 and expanded during World War I. With minor variations in numbers and titles of ratings, the system remained largely unchanged until 1940, when the current system of pilot ratings was introduced. During World War II, as many as 19 aeronautical ratings were recognized and awarded by the Army Air Forces, but most were discontinued after the war when the USAF came into being. USAF ratings gradually expanded until seven categories and 21 ratings exist currently. The most recent change added the RPA ( Remotely Piloted Aircraft) Pilot rating, effective 13 December 2010. Although in much smaller numbers, enlisted personnel were historically eligible to be rated until 1949. Since the later 1950s, highly trained enlisted personnel, along with officers whose duties do not include flying, are recognized by the awarding of Air Force Occupational Badges."

"title": "http://www.eapoe.org/pstudies/ps1970/p1973101.htm\nPoe at West Point â A Revaluation",
"text": "[page 1:]Poe at West Point — A Revaluation Karl E. Oelke Union College, Cranford, N. J. Of Poe’s varied experiences between the publication of Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems in 1829 and Poems in 1831, scholars generally agree that his time at West Point contributed least to his development as a poet. A. H. Quinn sees Poe’s stay there as “an interruption of his real career,” states that “he was not aided by such education as he consented to receive,” and implies that he did little or no serious writing at West Point: “He must have anticipated more leisure to write at the Academy than he found there (1). Floyd Stovall echoes Quinn when he states that “Poe may have composed or revised some of these [300 lines of new poetry] after he arrived at West Point, but he had but little space or time there in which to court the Muse. . . . he was obliged to fulfill the requirements of drill and classes at least until the end of December [1830]” (2). Finally, Poe’s letter to John Allan from West Point, dated 6 November 1830, indicates that he had but little time for extracurricular activities: “I have spent my time very pleasantly hitherto — but the study requisite is incessant, and the discipline exceedingly rigid” (3). It is further assumed that, had Poe the time, there was little available at West Point, either in the library or in the persons of his instructors or companions, to provide intellectual stimulation. Robert Jacobs states this position most succinctly when he says, “Poe’s only advanced schooling was at the University of Virginia” and “he had spent much of the time between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two in the Army and at West Point, situations hardly conducive to literary study” (4). This paper will attempt to establish that, in spite of the spartan regimen, Poe had both time and opportunity for intellectual pursuits other than curriculum-related studies while he was at West Point from June 1830 to February 1831. To be sure, the discipline at West Point was strict. Military and academic life were so blended that the cadet who graduated had mastered, if not his military and academic subjects to a high degree, at least the skill of self-discipline."

"text": "Page Navigation You may hear people allude to the ROTC while in high school or when entering college, but if you’re unfamiliar with the program, you’ll probably glean very little about what the ROTC actually is. The acronym stands for “Reserve Officers’ Training Corps,” and its goal is to train college students for future service in branches of the U. S. military; the Army, Air Force, and Navy each have their own ROTC programs. Students interested in U. S. Armed Forces service at an early age can also gain exposure to the rigors of military training through JROTC (Junior ROTC) programs offered at the high school level. The JROTC and ROTC programs share a point of origin: the National Defense Act of 1916. The passage of this legislation united military training resources under a single federal umbrella. This allowed high schools and colleges to obtain military training instructors and supply funding from a single ROTC organization. Title 10 Section 2031 of the U. S. Code describes how JROTC programs provide students with at least three years of military instruction, along with access to uniforms, academic materials, and instructors who have served as U. S. Armed Forces officers. According to numbers published by the U. S. Army, over 274,000 high school students serve as JROTC cadets. Once students reach college, they can explore specific military branches by enrolling in ROTC programs provided by the Army, Navy, or Air Force. While the U. S. Coast Guard does not have an ROTC initiative, interested students can explore a similar training program, the College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI)."

Within NATO, each member nations corresponding military rank of corporal is combined under the NATO-standard rank scale code OR-4. The rank of corporal nominally corresponds to commanding a section or squad of soldiers. However, in the United States Army, the rank of corporal is rarely used, as the Table of Organization & Equipment (TO&E) rank of a fire team leader is sergeant and that of squad leader is staff sergeant. In the United States Marine Corps, corporal is the Table of Organization (TO) rank for a rifle fire team leader, machine gun team leader, light mortar squad leader, and assault weapon squad leader, as well as gunner on most larger crew served weapons (i.e., medium mortars, heavy machine guns, anti-tank missiles), armored vehicles (e.g., tanks, light armored vehicles, and armored assault vehicles), and the two (2) assistant gunners on a howitzer (the gunner is a sergeant). In most countries which derive their military structure from the British military system, it is a more senior rank than that of private. However, in several other countries, such as Canada, Italy and Norway, corporal is a junior rank, indicating a more experienced soldier than a private, and also on a higher pay scale, but having no particular command appointment corresponding to the rank, similar to specialist in the U. S. Army. Contents [ show]Etymology Edit The word is derived from the medieval Italian phrase capo corporale (\"\"head of a body\"\"). [ 1] It may also be derived from an appointment as an officer's bodyguard, [ citation needed] originally being an adjective pertaining to the word \"\"body\"\". Argentina Edit All three branches of the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic use two or three ranks of corporal, or cabo."

Their training involves conducting physical training (PT) sessions three times a week that pushes their physical limits to the maximum. This all culminates towards the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), in which every cadet must pass with a minimum 70 percent or better in all three categories: Push-Ups, Sit-Ups and timed two-mile run. Cadets also execute a number of other physical fitness activities such as ruck marches that can vary between 5 to 7 miles in length while wearing full combat gear. Beach PT is also a regular regiment of the Battalion conducted in the heart of Waikiki. The Warrior Battalion poses at Kapiolani Park after a ruck march. ( Photo Credit: John Banasihan)With beach PT, cadets also conduct Combat Water Survival Training, CWST, in order to gain confidence while within bodies of water and to maintain swim proficiency. CWST consists of five minutes of treading water, ten minutes of freestyle swimming, an equipment ditch, 5m jump while blind folded with a dummy M16 rifle, and an equipment swim with dummy M16 rifle.

Army ROTC Programs Preparing Students for Professional Military Careers John Brown University has partnered with Air Force ROTC, a nationwide program that allows students to pursue commissions (become officers) in the United States Air Force (USAF) while simultaneously attending college. Air Force ROTC classes are held on college campuses throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Students can register through normal course registration processes. Air Force ROTC consists of four years of Aerospace Studies classes (Foundations of the USAF, Evolution of USAF and Space Power, Air Force Leadership Studies, and National Security Affairs/Preparation for Active Duty), and a corresponding Leadership Laboratory for each year (where students apply leadership skills, demonstrate command and effective communication, develop physical fitness, and practice military customs and courtesies). College students enrolled in the Air Force ROTC program (known as “cadets”) who successfully complete both Air Force ROTC training and college degree requirements will graduate and simultaneously commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Duty Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is currently offered at the University of Arkansas, which has a crosstown agreement with JBU that allows our students to enroll in Air Force ROTC and become full-fledged cadet participants by attending the classes held on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville. Additional information about Air Force ROTC can be found at http://www.afrotc.com/ and for specific information about the Thunder Hawgs of Detachment 030, please review http://afrotc.uark.edu/. U. S. AIR FORCE ROTCIn addition to the first two years of academic study (see above), John Brown University, in cooperation with the University of Arkansas and the U. S. Air Force, offers two years of advanced instruction in Aerospace Studies. Providing three hours of academic credit per semester for Air Force cadets, the advanced instruction prepares students for the responsibilities and privileges of a commissioned officer. Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) cadets must attend and successfully complete field training, a step usually accomplished between the sophomore and junior years. AFROTC cadets may volunteer to attend various professional development courses during their \"\"non-field-training\"\" summers."

The individual Soldier, the noncommissioned officer (NCO), and the officer make the Army's sophisticated technology work. They operate tanks, fly helicopters, and launch missiles. They build bridges, calibrate and operate computers, and apply state-of-the-art tools and methods to solve critical problems. Working together, these elements enable the Army to accomplish its mission to deter war and be prepared to fight and win should deterrence fail. The Army is made up of nearly 500,000 bright, well-trained men and women on active duty, including more than 68,500 officers and 12,000 warrant officers. These men and women compose the best-trained, best-disciplined, and most self-assured Army in recent history. The Army needs about 7,000 new officers each year. BECOMING AN OFFICERYou may become an officer in the U. S. Army through one of four commissioning programs: the United States Military Academy, the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), the Officer Candidate School (OCS), or direct appointment.

A disastrous fire in 1934 aboard the passenger ship SS Morro Castle, in which 134 lives were lost, convinced the U. S. Congress that direct federal involvement in efficient and standardized training was needed. Originally—and in cooperation with the State of New York (which donated the land)—the U. S. government planned to establish a large-scale Merchant Marine Academy at Fort Schuyler, New York; nothing came of these plans. [ 1]Congress passed the landmark Merchant Marine Act in 1936, and two years later, the U. S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps was established. In that year, the USTS Nantucket (ex- USS Ranger) was transferred from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy to Kings Point and renamed the USTS Emory Rice. The first training was given at temporary facilities until the Academy's permanent site in Kings Point, New York was acquired in early 1942. The Kings Point campus was originally Walter Chrysler's twelve-acre waterfront estate, named \"\"Forker House\"\" (now known as the USMMA's Wiley Hall). ["

"text": "Military Police Basic Training Program - Updated February 2017MCOLES has developed a basic military police training program specific to military police veterans who are interested in transitioning to civilian policing. The Military Police Basic Training Program (MPBTP) offers qualifying military police veterans the option of attending a eight week (320 hour) basic police training academy, rather than the full course of study. Curriculum includes legal matters, patrol procedures, detention, police skills, traffic, and special operations. Any military police veteran interested in this program must meet all MCOLES pre-employment standards, including passing the physical fitness test (exit standard), and the reading/writing examination. In addition, applicants must: Have performed as a military police officer for a minimum of 2080 hours in a specified law enforcement occupational specialty (MOS);Have satisfactorily completed military police training at a federal service school;Possess an honorable discharge or be currently serving;Have discontinued employment in the specified law enforcement MOS for no more than five years before the start of the program;Have proof of Professional Rescuer (AED and CPR) certification that is valid throughout the duration of the MPBTP. On February 13, 2013, the Commission approved two training sites. They selected Grand Valley State University (located 15 miles west of Grand Rapids), and Kirtland Community College/Northwestern Michigan College (located 60 miles east of Traverse City) to conduct the sessions. For information on Grand Valley State University's Police Academy, visit Grand Valley's website at the following link to learn about eligibility requirements, important information, and to keep informed about when they may offer an academy: https://www.gvsu.edu/cj/policeacademy/military-police-basic-training-program-2015-38.htm Questions may also be directed to Mr. Wayne Carlson at 517-322-5614 or ( [email protected] )."

"text": "\"This article, written by IWITTS Executive Director Donna Milgram, provides recruitment strategies that law enforcement agencies can use to increase the number of women in their applicant pools. Numerous marketing techniques are discussed, such as segmenting, messaging, assessment, press coverage, and internet outreach. ( April 2002)The Police Chief Magazine \"\"Recruiting Women to Policing: Practical Strategies That Work\"\"By Donna Milgram, Executive Director, Institute for Women in Trades, Technology, and Science Many police chiefs would like to increase the number of sworn women officers in their departments but find that there are few women in the applicant pool. This isn't surprising, since law enforcement remains a male dominated profession. Even in the year 2002, most women don't think of policing as a viable career choice because there are still few female role models in their own communities that they can look to. When law enforcement agencies reach out to qualified women and send them the message that they are welcome and valued, these departments are able to significantly increase the number of females in their training academies and ultimately on the force. The following agencies are among police departments that have increased the number of females as a percentage of recruits in their academies: Albuquerque, New Mexico, Police Department (10 percent to 33 percent)Tucson, Arizona, Police Department (10 percent to 29 percent)Delaware State Police Department (11 percent to 23 percent)San Jose, California, Police Department (8 percent to 50 percent)And the following agencies are among police departments that have increased the number of women officers as a percentage of the force: Port of Seattle Police Department: (7 percent to 14 percent)Durham, North Carolina, Police Department (12 percent to 15 percent)How can other police chiefs achieve similar results? The following step-by-step guide is designed to provide some answers. It is informed by work done with police departments by the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology, and Science (IWITTS). IWITTS is a national nonprofit organization based in Alameda, California, that provides law enforcement agencies with the tools to recruit and retain women officers using research, training, technical assistance, publications, and e-strategies."

"text": "The almost constant tension between the marchers and Washington police, coupled with the stifling summer heat, fueled frustrations on both sides, leading to confrontations that caused the police to ask for federal assistance. ( National Archives)The ‘Bonus Army’ War in Washingtonfacebook twitter linkedin pinterest print By Wyatt Kingseed June 2004 • American History Walter Waters helped lead the Bonus Army as its members expanded from camps in a row of condemned buildings in downtown Washington into a well-organized, well-run shantytown (top) just across the Anacostia River from Capitol Hill. They used the camps as a base for a series of peaceful, patriotic demonstrations below demanding their promised payments. ( National Archives)Army Chief of Staff and Major General Douglas Mac Arthur watched a brigade of steel-helmeted soldiers precisely align themselves in a straight four-column phalanx, bayonets affixed to rifles. He nodded his head in satisfaction. Discipline was wonderful. Up ahead, Major George Patton kicked his heels against his mount, and the big horse reared forward to signal a line of cavalry. The riders drew their sabers, and the animals stepped out in unison, hoofs smacking loudly on the street. Five Renault tanks lurched behind. Seven-ton relics from World War I and presumably just for show, the old machines nonetheless left little doubt as to the seriousness of the moment."

"text": "Q&A: Credit for Military Service under the Railroad Retirement Act October 2016QA1610.pdf (54.21 KB)Many railroad employees have at some time served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Under certain conditions, their military service may be credited as rail service under the Railroad Retirement Act. The following questions and answers provide information on how military service may be credited towards railroad retirement benefits.1. Under what conditions can military service be credited as railroad service? The intent behind the crediting of military service under the Railroad Retirement Act is to prevent career railroad employees from losing retirement credits while performing active duty military service during a war or national emergency period. Therefore, to be creditable as compensation under the Railroad Retirement Act, service in the U. S. Armed Forces must be preceded by railroad service in the same or preceding calendar year. With the exceptions noted later, the employee must also have entered military service when the United States was at war or in a state of national emergency or have served in the Armed Forces involuntarily. Military service is involuntary when an employee is required by law, such as Selective Service System conscription or troop call-up from a reserve unit, to leave railroad service to perform active duty military service. Only active duty military service is creditable under the Railroad Retirement Act. A person is considered to have been on active duty while commissioned or enrolled in the active service of the Armed Forces of the United States (including the U. S. Coast Guard), or while ordered to Federal active duty from any reserve component of the uniformed Armed Forces."

The 40-year war Agent Orange casualties keep mounting Story by Ivey De Jesus | [email protected] November 11, 2014In 1967, about to graduate from Steelton High School, John Galinac wanted more than just a job at the steel mill. He wanted to go to college. The 19-year-old, second-generation Croatian-American enlisted in the Air Force with his sights on the G. I. Bill. Within months, he became a military police officer, patrolling the perimeter of Phu Cat Air Base in the Binh Dinh Province in what was then South Vietnam. The jungle around the coastal air base, like much of the Southeast Asian country, was a dense, canopied world that provided a safe haven for the enemy. John Galinac But fate put Galinac — and thousands of others — in the path of a killer as deadly but far more stealthy than their North Vietnamese foe. And more than 40 years later, the strategy the U. S. military deployed to decimate that jungle has leveled a lethal legacy. Galinac is among the roughly 2.8 million U. S. military personnel — out of 7.4 million total — who served in Vietnam between 1962 and 1971 and were exposed to Agent Orange, one of several potent defoliants deployed by the military to destroy the Vietnamese jungle and, along with it, the enemy's hiding place."

He appeared in several Filipino films before being cast as a helicopter pilot in Francis Ford Coppola 's Apocalypse Now (1979). Due to his Vietnam experiences, Coppola also utilized him as a technical adviser. He got a featured role in Sidney J. Furie 's The Boys in Company C (1978), playing a drill instructor. Ermey worked with Furie again in Purple Hearts (1984). However, his most famous (or infamous) role came as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick 's Full Metal Jacket (1987), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Senior British and United States Air Force officers wearing flight caps German Air Force Garrison cap (German word \"\"Schiffchen\"\", \"\"small ship\"\") from 1962A side cap is a foldable military cap with straight sides and a creased or hollow crown sloping to the back where it is parted. It is known as a garrison cap or flight cap (in the United States ), pilotka (in Russia ), a wedge cap (in Canada ), or officially field service cap [1] (in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries). It follows the style which originated with the so-called Austrian cap in the 1890s. There was also a previous version known as the \"\" torin \"\", which had a much more curved top line when viewed from the side. Both Austrian and torin types were distinguished by the inclusion of a fold-down section for warming the ears and back of the head in inclement weather. These two styles are still used by officers of some British units and continue to include this feature. In appearance the cap is similar to the glengarry, but differs by a lack of the tartan, or check trim, toorie, and ribbons typical of the Scottish cap. It has been associated with various military forces from the time of World War I to the present day, and various youth organizations. A convenient feature of this cap is that when the owner is indoors and no coat-hook is available, it can be easily stored by folding it over the belt or, unofficially, by tucking it under a shoulder strap.

Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, [1] the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended \"\"at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month\"\", in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. (\"\" At the 11th hour\"\" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

The initial Armistice Day was observed at Buckingham Palace, commencing with King George V hosting a \"\"Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic \"\" [3] during the evening hours of 10 November 1919. The first official Armistice Day was subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace the following morning."

But for anyone familiar with today's troops and the missions they face — or who has paused to read the names of this nation's combat casualties — the historic move by the Pentagon to open up front-line roles to women is hardly a shock. OFFICIALS: Panetta opens combat roles to women Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, along with Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, plans to announce today that the U. S. military is lifting its ban on women serving in combat, senior Pentagon officials said Wednesday. The move would open hundreds of thousands of military positions to women, said one official who spoke anonymously because Panetta had not yet made the announcement. Women are serving and have been serving in uniform alongside their male counterparts in Afghanistan and did so in Iraq for much of the past decade, even as their theoretical fitness to serve was debated back home. Although officially in support roles, the distinction ultimately made little difference to the 152 female U. S. troops who have died while deployed in those two wars. \"\" We've always had women in combat zones,\"\" says Pat Murphy, a retired Air Force colonel who served in Vietnam and is president of the Air Force Women Officers Associated. In recent years, the necessities of war — and an all-volunteer military — have propelled women into jobs as medics, military police, intelligence officers and other roles, often attached to units on the front lines. Many female troops carry guns on patrols in Afghanistan, often to deal with and search local women and families encountered by U. S. forces."

Vajna Music by Jerry Goldsmith Release Date October 22, 1982Budget $14 million Gross $125,212,904Followed by Rambo: First Blood Part IIFirst Blood (also known as Rambo or Rambo: First Blood outside the United States), is a 1982 action/thriller film directed by Ted Kotcheff. The film stars Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam War veteran, with Hope, Washington Sheriff Will Teasle ( Brian Dennehy) as his nemesis, and Colonel Samuel Trautman ( Richard Crenna) as his former commander and only ally. It was released on October 22, 1982. Based loosely on David Morrell's 1972 novel of the same name, it was the first of the four-film and ongoing Rambo series. Unlike the following sequels which were war adventure films set in foreign countries, First Blood was a post-Vietnam War psychological thriller set in the United States. First Blood particularly lacks the gore and violence that would later become a trademark of the series. Since its release, First Blood has been a critical and commercial success, and has had a lasting influence on the genre. It has also spurred countless parodies. The film is notable for its psychological portrayal of the after-effects of the Vietnam War, particularly the challenges faced by American veterans attempting to re-integrate into society, something not deeply examined in subsequent Rambo movies. In 2008, the film was chosen by Empire magazine as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time."

Ninety percent of performing at the top of your class is positive attitude and the remaining ten percent is preparing physically with the program you have.

Flag Is it safe to drink soy milk while pregnant? Answer by Tymothy Confidence votes 5.2KVery likely, yes. The only theoretical concerns with soymilk lie in the fact that soy is high in isoflavones and phyto-estrogens, plant hormones which act as weak estrogens in the body. Trying to determine their exact effect has been difficult. One study linked levels of soy consumption of the pregnant mother inversely to the male child's penis size- the more soy consumed during pregnancy, the smaller the penis, but this was only an observational study, not an experimental one, so it's not known if the soy actually caused a reduction in penis size, or if other factors were at play. Again, it's not as though the study could pinpoint soy as the cause for these findings. A moderate soy intake will probably not cause any trouble.

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

The discrepancy is due to the absence of mineral substances in the diets of the cows reared. According to researchers, animals on organic farms should have their diets supplemented with natural sources of iodine such as seaweed, because it is a very important element for children and pregnant women. The concentration of nutrients in animal food products is linked to the diets of the animals reared. Conventional production methods provide mineral diet supplements, while in organic farming animals depend on the mineral content in soil, which may not be sufficient. For this reason, researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela compared the mineral and toxic elements of organic and conventional milk taken from over thirty farms located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. The results demonstrated that mineral element content in organic milk is low compared with conventional milk, although no differences were found in the quantity of toxic compounds such as cadmium, which were also detected in very low concentrations. \"\""

And yet on some dairy farm websites they will note that a cow will produce for as long as it is being milked (source: http://www.dairy.edu.au/discoverdairy/Students/From-Farm-to-Plate/How-Cows-Make-Milk.aspx ). I don't buy into the conspiracy theorist mindset that the dairy industry is \"\"lying to the public\"\" about how cows produce milk. But from an economical standpoint, keeping dairy cows pregnant makes sense: A cow produces the most milk right after it gives birth, and the male babies can be sold for veal. I have this lifelong dream of living off the grid - owning a dairy cow or two, some chickens, a greenhouse, and sustaining myself and my family while reducing our impact on Mother Earth to a minimum. But if it's really true that dairy cows must constantly produce babies in order to make milk (calves that will ultimately become veal), then I might just swear off milk all-together.12 comments share save hide reportall 12 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?

Milk and many other dairy products have been under some heavy demonization recently. What used to be the favorite go-to health drink of both, the alt-med people and normal people, is suddenly seen as something that barely fits human consumption, and apparently now also destroys your health. Like always, the truth isn’t as straight-forward as its presented and there are several positive – as well as negative – effects to dairy consumption. The main component of most dairy products: whole cows milk, consists of;high-quality protein (micellar casein and whey)carbohydrates (lactose, glucose, and galactose)fatty-acids ( saturated and monounsaturated)vitamins ( A, B1, B2, B12, D, and choline)minerals ( calcium, magnesium, and potassium)Based solely on the macronutrient and micronutrient amounts and ratios, whole milk would be close to the ‘optimal food’ for anyone who’s goals include muscle gains and high testosterone levels. However, with the good there is also some bad: Dairy Products and Testosterone Living my whole life in Finland – which is a country with World’s 2nd highest rate of dairy consumption – I’ve drank a lot of milk on a daily basis for the most part of my life, without ever even questioning about any of its health benefits. In here, milk is considered a super drink, and if you dare say anything bad about it, prepare for a shit storm of epic proportions. However, few months ago I started thinking about the effect of milk on testosterone levels. After all it comes out of a cows breasts, and is pretty high in mammalian estrogen. Would this off-set the pro-testosterone effects of all the macronutrients, minerals and vitamins in dairy products? Could milk actually end up reducing testosterone?"

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Keep a Milking Cow If you have the determination and the space to keep a cow, they make a great addition to any farm. Your cow will provide you with milk, cheese and butter if you take good care of her. Cows are hardy animals that can help you to make a quick buck by selling their dairy products. Steps1 Choose your cow: There are many suitable breeds of cows that can be used for milking. Holstein Fresian: These cows are most commonly found in commercial dairy farms since they tend to produce the highest quantity of milk. Jerseys: This breed is the second-most common dairy breed in North America, and is recognized for its high quantity of butterfat in the milk these cows produce. Jerseys are beautiful, gentle creatures (except for the bulls) and are relatively easier to manage and care for than Holsteins, though some Jerseys can be kickers when it comes to milking time. Other common breeds to consider for personal dairying are Brown Swiss, Milking Devons, Milking Shorthorns, Dexters, Red Polls, Guernseys and Ayrshires.2 Care taking: Like all animals, your cow needs food, water, shelter and space enough to move around at her free will. Depending on where you live, you will need adequate shelter for her to spend the night in and to go to during adverse weather conditions. A shed or barn is favorable for this."

Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. This depends on the cow, actually. Some cows may start lactation right after her calf is born, others (and this may refer to most) will start freshening (producing milk) a few days to even a few weeks prior to giving birth. One of the classic signs that a cow is about to give birth is that her udder and teats start to engorge themselves with milk.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Boer goats are large framed animals resembling, in many ways, the Nubian goat. The most obvious difference is the size. A Boer is a large, double muscled animal. Boers are specifically meat goats.

But the truth is that an animal does have to die – in fact, many animals have to die – for the sake of that slice of cheese on your sandwich, or that milk in your cereal. If you really care about animal rights, the first things you must eliminate from your diet are eggs and dairy. If you are a feminist like I am, dairy should really hit home for you. This is because dairy is a business that profits off of the exploitation of the female reproductive system. The entire life of a dairy cow is a never-ending nightmarish cycle of depression, torture and rape. Yes, rape. Many people believe that cows just naturally produce milk and that their udders would explode if we didn’t milk them. To these uninformed people we are actually doing dairy cows a favor by milking them. This however, couldn’t be farther from the truth."

The difference may be only nine pence, but an average family drinks 12 or so pints a week. In a year, that adds up to £56. So, over the time your children live at home you could pay for a holiday or two simply by sticking to ordinary milk. No one will notice the difference in their bowl or glass. Though green fanatics insist they prefer the taste of organic milk, formal tests have shown that there’s very little to choose between them on the palate. Try both milks on a bowl of cornflakes and you’re unlikely to be able to tell them apart. Have you herd? Cows fed on a natural diet of grass produce nutrient-rich milk, and appear happier for it But there are other reasons to pay the extra."

"text": "Cattle have eight incisors, or biting teeth in their bottom jaw. They have no incisors in the upper jaw, just a hard pad. Well back in the mouth they also have pre-molars and molars in both the upper and lower jaw, but these are rarely seen. Cows have milk teeth when they are born and these are lost in a well-defined order when the permanent teeth erupt. This normally begins as young as 18 months and continues to around age five. Replacement of Milk Teeth Milk teeth are short and broad with a bright ivory color. There is normally a big gap between the middle two teeth. Permanent teeth can start erupting from about 18 months of age. A tooth is regarded as erupted once it has broken through the gum. The milk teeth become loose and the gums swell, and then the permanent teeth erupt while the milk teeth are still present."

M. Vos a G. C. van der Weijden a H. Hogeveen a c Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2010.04.008 Get rights and content Abstract The net economic value of reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle was estimated using a stochastic dynamic simulation model. The objective was to compare the economic consequences of reproductive performance scenarios (“average” and “poor”) of a cow having a good reproductive performance and to explore which reproductive factors have an important impact on economic efficiency. A “good” reproductive performance scenario was defined with 1 ovulation rate (POVU i ), 0.7 estrus detection rate (PEst), 0.7 conception rate (PCon), 0.03 incidence rate of postpartum disorders prolonging the ovarian cyclicity (CO), 0.2 incidence rate of postpartum disorders reducing conception (ME), 0.05 embryonic death rate (ED), and voluntary waiting period (VWP) of 9 wks pp (post partum). In the current situation of dairy cows in the Netherlands, an “average” reproductive scenario (0.95 POVU i, 0.5 PEst, 0.5 Pcon, 0.07 CO, 0.27 ME, 0.07 ED and VWP of 12 wks pp) and a “poor” reproductive scenario (0.90 POVU i, 0.3 PEst, 0.3 Pcon, 0.11 CO, 0.33 ME, 0.09 ED and VWP of 15 wks pp) were identified. A sensitivity analysis was performed by comparing changes of single effect of factors in a good and poor scenario with the average scenario. The mean net economic loss (NEL i) compared with the good scenario was €34 and €231 per cow per year for the average and poor reproductive performance scenario, respectively. Increasing the calving interval resulted in greater economic loss. The important factors on the cost of reproductive efficiency were the involuntary culling cost and the return of milk production. Variation in PCon, PEst, ME, ED, and VWP had large impacts on economic benefits. Previous article Next article Keywords Dairy cow Reproductive performance Simulation model Economics1."

Texas Milkweed (Asclepias texana)Collect only your native or regional seedpods. Leave some pods in the area you are collecting to insure the plants continue to propagate and thrive in that area. A good rule of thumb is to take 1/3 and leave 2/3. Positively identify the plant before collecting the pods. Milkweed seeds look alike in most species and are very difficult to identify by the seed alone. Mark the collecting container with your name, the date, species common name, species botanical name, and the location of the collection. For instance: “Cathy Downs, 5/24/14, Antelope Horn ( Asclepias asperula ), Kendall County, Texas. ”Collecting is usually done on private lands, public right of ways and roadsides."

Their caterpillars feed on milkweeds, rich on highly toxic substances known as cardenolides. Having developed resistance against these chemicals, the monarchs themselves are poisonous so predators avoid them. A young, inexperienced bird that takes a bite off of a caterpillar or a butterfly spits it out in disgust and may be sick afterwards. It learns its lesson after no more than one trial. Are monarchs completely free from enemies, then? Not so, there are exceptions. A number of predators and parasites have also become tolerant or immune to the cardenolides.

"text": "Growing Milkweed – Using The Milkweed Plant In The Garden Milkweed By: Becca Badgett, Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden Printer Friendly Version Image by gmayfield10By Becca Badgett (Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden)The milkweed plant may be considered a weed and banished from the garden by those unaware of its special traits. True, it may be found growing along roadsides and in ditches and may require removal from commercial fields. However, the reason for planting milkweed in the garden flies by in summer and enchants most who see them: Monarch butterflies. The Milkweed Flower The milkweed flower ( Asclepias syriaca) and its cousin butterfly weed ( Asclepias tuberosa) are an integral part of the butterfly garden, a source of nectar for butterflies and hummingbirds. Growing milkweed supplies larvae of the Monarch with food and shelter, providing caterpillars food and a resting place before they leave the caterpillar stage and become butterflies. As the plants can be toxic; consumption of the plant protects caterpillars from predators. Historically, the milkweed plant was valuable when grown for its medicinal properties. Today the silky material attached to its numerous seeds is sometimes used for filling in lifejackets. Seeds are contained in an attractive pod that bursts and sends seeds drifting through the air, borne by wind. This is a reason to remove seed pods when you grow milkweed plants."

We are interested in learning more about the distribution of different species of kissing bugs, their infection prevalence over time, and their interactions with host species. If you have come across a suspected kissing bug in or around your home, kennel, yard, or other area, we are interested in hearing about it!HANDLING Safety Precautions and Collection Information Please do not ever touch a kissing bug with your bare hands! The T. cruzi parasite occurs in the feces of kissing bugs, and their bodies may be contaminated. A glove or small plastic bag may be used to catch the bug to avoid direct contact with the bug. The bug may be stored in a sealed plastic bag, in a vial, or other small container. All surfaces with which the bug came into contact should be thoroughly cleaned with a bleach solution. If you find a possible kissing bug, please write down the date, time of day you found it, where it was caught (indoors or outdoors), and any possible interactions (bites) it may have had with people or animals."

Other perennials produce creeping rhizomes dividing and multiplying as they creep along. Those perennials selected for the garden will produce a great show of flowers year after year during their season of glory. Perennials are often some of the heaviest blooming plants in the garden. Many perennials have fragrant foliage or fragrant flowers. Perennials are often selected for their bold foliage color or texture.

"text": "Which Milkweed for the Monarchs?by Rose Franklin, January 19, 2015Americans are worried about the current status of the Monarch butterfly population, and they should be. Monarch numbers have dramatically declined in the past ten years or so. Some entomologists even wonder if the spectacular annual migration to and from Mexico might one day cease to exist. The over-wintering population in Mexico last winter, 2013-2014, was the smallest ever recorded, about 10% of the 20-year average. Monarch enthusiasts, knowing that Monarchs must have access to milkweed if the population is to increase, are opting to plant milkweed instead of petunias, impatiens, geraniums, and marigolds. But they are confused about which milkweed species they should plant. Some gardeners are told they should only plant the milkweed species that are native to their area while others hear that almost any milkweed, including those that grow in the tropic jungles of the world, like Tropical Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica), are suitable hosts for the Monarch. It was scientists who first began to oppose the planting of Tropical Milkweed. They claimed that because this milkweed species grows year around in some parts of the U. S., it might disrupt the Monarch’s migratory cues in autumn and facilitate in the creation of a large population that does not migrate but, instead, resides year around where Tropical Milkweed grows year around. And there, where it is not killed off annually by autumn frosts (southern Florida and along the coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico), Tropical Milkweed surely harbors pathogens and facilitates in the increased transmission of disease (especially Oe, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha)."

Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a ball. Although the name \"\"millipede\"\" derives from the Latin for \"\"thousand feet\"\", no known species has 1,000; the record of 750 legs belongs to Illacme plenipes. There are approximately 12,000 named species classified into 16 orders and around 140 families, making Diplopoda the largest class of myriapods, an arthropod group which also includes centipedes and other multi-legged creatures. Most millipedes are slow-moving detritivores, eating decaying leaves and other dead plant matter. Some eat fungi or suck plant fluids, and a small minority are predatory. Millipedes are generally harmless to humans, although some can become household or garden pests, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings. Most millipedes defend themselves with a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body, although the tiny bristle millipedes are covered with tufts of detachable bristles."

Symptoms rarely persist for more than 48 hours. Millipedes do not bite but may secrete a toxin that is irritating, causing burning and itching of the skin and, particularly when accidentally rubbed into the eye, causing redness, swelling, and pain of the conjunctiva or the cornea. An ice cube wrapped in plastic and a thin cloth and placed on a centipede bite usually relieves the pain.

A good example is the snake. Snakes gained an evil reputation in their depiction in the Garden of Eden, yet they have also become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine, as depicted by the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius. In natural science, amphibians and reptiles are bundled together as the study of Herpetology, which is a branch of Zoology. Collectively they are known as herps, herptiles, or herpetofauna. The term “herpetology” is derived from the Greek word “herpton”, meaning a creeping thing. Herptiles are vertebrates and include both reptiles and amphibians. The animal world is inhabited with approximately 58,000 species of vertebrates, which seems like a lot, yet is only about 3% of all animal species. Invertebrates make up the bulk of the animals at 97% of the species.

Very small species of centipedes are unable to penetrate human skin and inject any venom, so could be considered harmless. Some species can deliver a dose of venom, the result being about the same as the result of a bee sting. Some larger species can deliver still more venom. The good news is that centipede stings in general are not harmful to humans as far as the amount of venom involved is concerned, but the sting from a large centipede can be extremely painful in some instances, painful enough to send someone to a hospital for treatment, but such a sting is rarely life threatening. When people ask the question, \"\"Are centipedes poisonous?\"\" it is usually with the thought in mind of them making someone gravelly ill or perhaps the poison being lethal."

The new creature, dubbed Illacme tobini, has been studied from a single male specimen and boasts a strange list of body parts, including 414 legs (four of which function as its penises), 200 poison glands that spray an unknown chemical, mysterious mouthparts and a body covered in hairs that secrete silk. Not much is known about the Illacme family of millipedes. Until the discovery of tobini, the sole species was the Illacme plenipes, first described in 1928 then not seen again in the wild for another 80 years. Of the 17 specimens in collections around the world, one holds the record for the leggiest animal on Earth, with a total of 750 legs. Most of the plenipes specimens were found near San Juan Bautista in California, and their rarity makes the new discovery particularly exciting for diplopodologists – scientists who specialize in the study of millipedes. \"\" I never would have expected that a second species of the leggiest animal on the planet would be discovered in a cave 150 miles (240 km) away (from the plenipes site),\"\" says Paul Marek of Virginia Tech, one of the researchers who described the new species. Just one Illacme tobini specimen was found in a cave during an expedition to Sequoia National Park in 2006, despite thorough searching in the cave and surrounding areas for more of them. It was preserved in ethanol, dissected and had samples of its DNA extracted, and study of its anatomy found it to be a close relative of the plenipes, but a distinct species. With a tally of 414 legs, this one specimen sounds far short of the record-holding 750, but it is about average for the better known Illacme species."

Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both. It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, after his work on butterflies in the rainforests of Brazil. Batesian mimicry is the most commonly known and widely studied of mimicry complexes, such that the word mimicry is often treated as synonymous with Batesian mimicry. There are many other forms however, some very similar in principle, others far separated. It is often contrasted with Müllerian mimicry, a form of mutually beneficial convergence between two or more harmful species. However, because the mimic may have a degree of protection itself, the distinction is not absolute. It can also be contrasted with functionally different forms of mimicry. Perhaps the sharpest contrast here is with aggressive mimicry, where a predator or parasite mimics a harmless species, avoiding detection and improving its foraging success."

They are not harmful to food, clothes, furniture, or other items within homes, although just their presence can be disturbing. Their preferred habitat is moist, decaying leaf litter or other organic material found around building foundations. When they are found outdoors, we consider them a beneficial group of animals. During late summer and fall and occasionally during spring and summer, millipedes and sowbugs can leave the soil and leaf litter and crawl into homes, sometimes in very large numbers. They enter through cracks in foundations, around ground-level windows, and under doors. They are commonly found in basements although they may also be found in ground-level rooms. They enter for one of two reasons. First, in the fall, millipedes and sowbugs seek protected places to overwinter. Second, excessive rainfall or ground moisture may force them out of their normal environment in the soil to areas with less moisture."

The millipede has a long and narrow body which is made up of segments. The millipede is from the same family as the centipede, but the millipede generally has more legs for its body length than the centipede. The average millipede has between 80 and 400 legs, not a thousand as the name suggests. The millipede is found all over the world but is more common in the southern hemisphere where the millipede has been known to get to nearly 40cm long. Some species of millipede have a poisonous bite which they use to kill their prey before eating it. Millipedes are most commonly found in the cooler, damper and darker places within their environment. Millipedes inhabit areas under rocks, in the leaf litter, in rotting logs and occasionally in burrows which are all known as micro-habitats. The exact number of legs and segments that make up the body of the millipede, depend on the millipede species. However, all millipedes are made up in a similar way with the first sections of the millipede's body having one pair of legs and the later sections of two pairs of legs."

Millipedes’ main diet consists of plant material that has decomposed. They tend to reside in damp, dark places—beneath flower pots, boards, stones, or wherever there is excess moisture. Millipedes may enter buildings in large groups just after a rainfall or during times of cooler temperatures. They are often found within mulch and are generally considered beneficial organisms within the environment. Some cite the fact that secretions from the millipede repel other insects as a reason why they are beneficial.

Millipedes live outdoors or in damp locations such as greenhouses and hide during the day under leaves, needles and dead plant debris, or in cracks and crevices. They are most active at night when the humidity is higher or when dew is present. Millipedes have an elongated, worm-like body with two pairs of short legs on the underside of almost every body segment. The common millipede is approximately 1 inch long with a hard, rounded, cylindrical body that is brown to blackish in color.

Occasionally smooth green snakes can be brown or tan in coloration. The scales are smooth and total body length ranges from 30 to 66 cm. Males are usually smaller than females, but have longer tails. Newly hatched smooth green snakes measure 8.3 to 16.5 cm in length and tend to be less brightly colored than adults, often olive-green or bluish-gray.

Together, they make up over eighty percent of all species on the planet so it is only natural that there are totally beautiful and bizarre examples of these creatures. This list will detail the ten strangest arthropods on Earth.10Golden Tortoise Beetle The magnificent golden tortoise beetle —Charidotella sexpunctata—is commonly found in eastern North America and measures five to seven millimeters in length. The beetle has an extraordinary golden hue but it can change its color as well—transforming its outer covering so it becomes transparent. This color change reveals the rest of the beetle underneath, which is black with red spots, like a ladybug. Once these beetles are collected and removed from their natural habitats, they quickly lose their color, turning mud brown. This is because they lose their liquid layer, which is formed by dew on the leaves they live on. This liquid layer gives the illusion of a golden color. The beetle larvae of this species are also quite interesting. They have a dark, spiky appearance and as they shed their skin, part of it is left behind."

The word 'milli' is latin for a thousand and 'pede' is for foot so a millipede ought to be a thousand footed animal. However whoever coined the name was guessing because although some millipedes have a lot of legs, none actually have a thousand. In fact the record holder is Illacme plenipes which has an amazing 750 legs or 350 pairs. Most millipedes have far less than this though, normally 100 to 300. Millipedes are distinguished from all other Myriapods because they have two pairs of legs per body segment. This is because each segment is actually two segments fused together. These special segments are called 'Diplosegments' . Millipedes use their legs to push themselves into the soil, leaf litter or rotting wood, and the more legs you have the more you can push so it makes sense to have plenty of legs. Millipedes do not really need that many body segments though so the fusing of two segments into one functional unit whilst maintaining both pairs of legs allows millipedes to generate a lot of push without becoming impossibly long."

Here are 10 fascinating facts that make millipedes unique.1. Millipedes do nothave 1,000 legs The term millipede comes from two Latin words - mil, meaning thousand and ped meaning feet. Some people refer to these critters as \"\"thousand leggers.\"\" But both names are misnomers, because scientists have yet to find a millipede species with 1,000 legs. Most actually have less than 100 legs. The millipede that holds the record for most legs has a mere 750, far short of the thousand leg mark.2.

Pillbugs are correctly classified as terrestrial Isopods, and belong to the Class Crustacea. Familiar crustaceans include lobsters, crabs, shrimp, and daphnia (water fleas). The crustaceans, in turn, are part of a larger group, Arthropoda, or jointed-legged animals. All arthropods have a tough outer cuticle, a trunk divided into segments, and limbs which, because of their stiff cuticle, articulate about flexible joints. Pillbugs are easily recognized by their flattened or round-backed profile, seven pairs of legs, and sharply-angled antennae. Some species are able to roll into a ball when disturbed, hence the name, pillbugs. The broad head has 4 pairs of mouthparts and is followed by the 7 main trunk segments, which bear the walking limbs. Behind these are 6 smaller segments comprising the pleon. The pleon segments also carry limbs, but these are greatly modified."

There are literally millions of unique species on Earth. It wasn’t until the 18th century that Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus developed the architecture for our modern system of binomial nomenclature, the naming of species using Latin grammar, which places an animal’s genus and then species in its formal name.

"text": "Venomous Centipedes and Cyanide-Oozing Millipedes By: Jonathan Du Hamel March 9, 2014Among the many creepy-crawly critters in the Sonoran Desert are centipedes and millipedes, both of which have some interesting properties. The Giant Desert Centipede (Scolopendra heros) can grow up to 8 inches long. The body is usually orange to yellowish-tan, often with alternating black, and the head and tail segments are black. The common desert centipede (Scolopendra polymorpha) is 4- to 5 inches long, and brown to tan. Centipedes have a flattened, segmented body with one pair of legs per segment. If the centipede is not moving, it can be hard to distinguish the back end from the front end because both have antenna-like appendages. But, just under the head are powerful pincers (gnathopods) which can delivery a very painful pinch and venom. The venom is not harmful to humans, but don’t try to pick up a centipede. Centipedes are fast-moving predators that feed upon any small animal they can catch, primarily insects, but they are known to take other arthropods, lizards, and also small rodents. Centipedes usually hunt at night, but may be out in the daytime during the rainy season."

They are not harmful to food, clothes, furniture, or other items within homes, although just their presence can be disturbing. Their preferred habitat is moist, decaying leaf litter or other organic material found around building foundations. When they are found outdoors, we consider them a beneficial group of animals. During late summer and fall and occasionally during spring and summer, millipedes and sowbugs can leave the soil and leaf litter and crawl into homes, sometimes in very large numbers. They enter through cracks in foundations, around ground-level windows, and under doors. They are commonly found in basements although they may also be found in ground-level rooms. They enter for one of two reasons. First, in the fall, millipedes and sowbugs seek protected places to overwinter. Second, excessive rainfall or ground moisture may force them out of their normal environment in the soil to areas with less moisture."

While zigzagging around the road's many puddles, suddenly about a dozen dark, inch-long (2.5cm) critters began scurrying below me, spooked by the bike. They reminded me exactly of how cockroaches skitter about when suddenly the lights are turned on in a messy kitchen. But, these cockroach-like beings had seemed to be gathered at the pools' margins where there was nothing to eat, just white sand meeting chalky-colored water. I went back and photographed the individual shown above. Up closer I could see that, with such a many-segmented body, it wasn't an insect but rather an isopod -- a member of the crustacean order Isopoda, like sowbugs, pillbugs, millipedes and centipedes. But this was like no isopod I'd ever seen. In the picture you can see that the creature's legs, an antenna and its rear appendages (uropods) were under water; I thought that maybe he'd drowned. I started to nudge him but before my finger got close suddenly he raced off as fast as a guilty cockroach. No, this animal was doing what he wanted to do, which was to hang out half submerged in water."

Scorpions are nocturnal animals meaning that they spend the day under rocks and in crevices and then come out to hunt in the safety of darkness. Scorpions are carnivorous animals and paralyze their prey using the venomous sting on the end of their tail so that the scorpion can eat it. Scorpions also have two large claws or pincers which are located at the front of the body of the scorpion. The claws of the scorpion allow the scorpion to effectively hold onto prey to both sting and eat it."

Centipedes in the south tend to be the largest. They can grow up to six inches in length. A centipede can be easily distinguished from a millipede because it has fewer legs; specifically, one set for every segment of its body. Millipedes have two sets of legs for every segment, and when they move, their legs appear to be moving in a wave-like motion. A millipede's legs are also shorter and, in general, a millipede cannot move very fast. A centipede, with its fewer legs, can travel considerably faster. Both centipedes and millipedes are generally hatched from eggs, but some varieties are born live. Some centipedes may live as long as six years."

Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a ball.

Most millipedes are slow-moving detritivores, eating decaying leaves and other dead plant matter. Some eat fungi or suck plant fluids, and a small minority are predatory. Millipedes are generally harmless to humans, although some can become household or garden pests, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings.

The webs are small, irregular, and untidy. These spiders are usually seen walking or running around, not in a web. Size : Length: females to ¼ inch, not counting legs; including legs in a typical pose, they are about 1 inch long. Share your photo Habitat and conservation The name “recluse” describes this spider well. It commonly hides in little-used drawers, closets, attics, and basement areas, and behind baseboards and furniture. They cannot climb smooth surfaces and are often found trapped in bathtubs and sinks."

"text": "What is a Minibeast? Quite literally, a ‘minibeast’ is simply a small animal. Spiders, snails, slugs, beetles, centipedes, worms, earwigs, caterpillars... Those are just a few well-known examples of the thousands and thousands of types of ‘creepy-crawlies’ that exist all over the world. Officially, minibeasts are called invertebrates which are animals without a backbone, and these are the most numerous type of animal in the world. In Britain alone there are over 25,000 species of invertebrates known. Unlike vertebrates (animals with a backbone) they do not have a skeleton inside. This makes them soft and bendy, and because of this, some of them have hard shells to live in. Some, like insects and spiders, have a thin, strong outside covering called an exoskeleton. This means they have protection for their bodies and they have legs, and often wings, which let them move more quickly and easily than other minibeasts. Grouping Invertebrates Minibeasts come in a huge range of size, shape and colour."

Regardless of age, it can affect anyone but it is very common in teenagers. Hormonal change during puberty is the root cause of this kind of acne. During puberty, androgen hormones increase rapidly which encourage excess oil production. Excess oil attracts dirt that locks up into the pores. When it clogs the pores and go deep into the skin, the bacteria thrive in it developing cystic pimple. So, the attack of bacteria is what causes cystic acne. Even adults can develop this kind of acne when there is a hormonal imbalance. This usually happens during menopause, perimenopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, pregnancy and menstruation."

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

This post was originally published in July 2015.

Finally, after three years and one very polite email asking me to dig a little deeper into this topic, I decided to hit the web for new information and research, and edit this post with my findings.

Carbohydrate based compounds known as mucopolysaccharides form much of the \"\"ground\"\" substance or the material matrix of bone and all collagenous tissues in the human body. Most of these compounds and chemical substances contain silicon as an essential component and the presence of this mineral is believed to aid in the formation of all the vital connections between the compounds classed as mucopolysaccharides and the structural proteins. Silicon is thus not only necessary for the formation of the cellular \"\"architecture\"\" that underlies the skeletal system and the connective tissues, but it is essential for the functional strength and stability of the tissues as well. A list of all the tissues in the human body that contain high concentrations of silicon gives an idea of how important silicon is to the maintenance of human health, major tissues in the body such as the skeletal framework, the various blood vessels - the aorta in particular, the heart and musculature, the skin and hair, the cartilage and ligaments, as well as soft tissues like the liver, the lungs and the brain. After oxygen, the most abundantly available mineral on the earth's surface is silicon. In fact, silicon is among the highly vital elements and is utilized in state-of-the-art gadgets as well as semiconductors. In addition, it is also an essential trace mineral that is needed by our body for stronger bones, physically powerful and supple joints as well as gleaming skin. In the human body, silicon is present in the form of silicic acid or silanate - derived from ether. In addition, the presence of silicon in our diet is also essential since it augments the general advantages offered by glucosamine, calcium, in addition to vitamin D. There are also other essential functions that silicon fulfills in the human body in combination with mucopolysaccharides such as in the rapid healing of tissues, chemical regulations involving the transfer of nutrients and water in the membranes of the connective tissues as well as embryonic development and growth."

You are less likely to develop lines and wrinkles and your skin will always be well moisturised. But, oily skin can mean that makeup is more of a challenge and the biggest difficulty is keeping your makeup looking great all day along, especially in the hot summer months. No one wants to have to spend loads of time painstakingly perfecting their makeup, only to have it slide from their face a few hours later, so here are ten tips on how to make makeup last all day, even if you have oily skin.1. Cleanse your face properly in the morning The first thing that is an absolute must, if you have oily skin, is to make sure that you cleanse your face thoroughly every morning. You should be using a cleanser that has at least 2% salicylic acid. Salicylic acid will break down and remove the oil on your skin, but it won’t dry your skin out. You should also make sure that you wash your hands before you cleanse your face, or you will transfer the oil on your hands, straight onto your skin.2. Clean your T zone with rubbing alcohol If you are particularly prone to oil on your T-zone, then a quick swipe with rubbing alcohol each morning will help to combat that. Just put a drop or two of rubbing alcohol on some cotton wool and wipe it quickly over your forehead, nose and your chin."

But folks in early Americana may have been on to something with that particular tradition. Buttermilk, and other dairy products, contain a gentle exfoliator called lactic acid. This mild acid can gently loosen, and even dissolve hardened sebum, and dead skin, allowing it to be gently buffed away with the help of a washcloth or body brush. It can also help to soothe irritation, and moisturize dry skin. This leaves skin with a fresh, healthy glow, so radiant that it just might win you that pink satin sash after all. Milk Bath recipes are generally made up of two parts Milk Powder, one part Grain Powder, and a variety of optional Additives. They can also be scented with the help of Essential Oils, Fragrance Oil, Absolutes, or CO2 Extracts. Milk Powders The heart of any Milk Bath recipe is, of course, the Milk Powder.

Information on this web page is adapted from \"\"The Enzyme Cure\"\", a book by Lita Lee, Ph. D., a leading enzyme therapist. Metabolic Enzymes Our bodies make hundreds of thousands of metabolic enzymes which are responsible for running our body's chemistry. These enzymes control breathing, thinking, talking, moving, and immunity. Anti-oxidant enzymes are also in this category."

Why Eat Raw Why Eat Raw“ Food sustains us,… Yet what we eat may affect our risk for several of the leading causes of death for Americans, notably, coronary heart disease, stroke, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and some types of cancer. These disorders together now account for more than two-thirds of all deaths in the United States.” -former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop It is estimated that 60% of disease is caused by the SAD diet (Standard American Diet). If food is the culprit, I believe that food can be the answer. As we become mindful about what we eat, we can start to make choices that promote our health over illness. Food is consumed for nutrition but it is also consumed for pleasure. What happens if we learn how to satisfy our pleasure receptors with healthy food? Our lives improve. What do our bodies need to eat raw?"

"text": "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FULLYRAWFully Raw means feeling good enough about YOUR perfect health enough to WANT to share the gift of life/health with others. Everyone knows how it feels to be unhealthy. At this moment in time, you may be searching for health inspiration rather than giving it. The best way that I know how to describe what someone feels like when they go “Fully Raw” or adapt to a 100% raw foods lifestyle is that they simply want to jump on top of the world and yell, “I am free! I found happiness!”This is what it means to be Fully Raw. You want to give inspiration rather than search for it. What’s a raw food diet? A raw foods diet is made up of fresh, whole, unrefined, living, plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds, which are consumed in their natural state, without cooking or steaming. People who adopt this diet are often referred to as “raw fooders” or “raw vegans. ”Are all raw food diets the same?"

As part of the webinar by our resident expert on vitamin C, Alexander Michels, Ph D, answered questions submitted online. If you have more questions you would like answered, see part 2 of this FAQ or feel free to ask!Vitamin C in the Body How long does vitamin C stay in the body? Vitamin C can stay in the body for weeks. Levels of vitamin C in the blood are controlled by the kidneys through a process known as ‘renal reabsorption,’ which prevents vitamin C from being lost in the urine. Taking large doses of it can overwhelm this system, so the extra amount is lost in the urine in a matter of hours. When someone who already has high levels in the blood takes some vitamin C, the increase in the body is only temporary – the majority is lost in the urine. When someone who doesn’t have high blood levels of vitamin C takes it, the vitamin stays in the system longer. How should doses of vitamin C be divided to maximize the blood concentration and the time it stays in my body? I should start by saying there is no known advantage of keeping plasma levels above the threshold set by your kidney."

"text": "\"Raw cacao vs cocoa April 24, 2013After hearing so much about the benefits of raw cacao powder I decided to try some a few days ago. I forked out the $$ for some organic raw cacao powder and made myself a hot chocolate with it, with a little cinnamon. From what I’d heard it was going to be very bitter and an acquired taste, so I braced myself for the first sip… and found it delicious! In fact, I thought it tasted exactly like I’d made a hot chocolate with cocoa powder (i.e. not the drinking chocolate you buy which has added sugars etc.). So I began to wonder, just how different is raw cacao powder from unsweetened cocoa powder, given that they are both derived from the same fruit? I did a bit of searching and here’s what I found (if you don’t want to read the whole article, skip to my summary section at the end for the key differences): Benefits of raw cacao powder: Cacao and cocoa powders are very complex, containing in excess of 300 chemically distinct compounds, making them the most complex of all foods. Rich in antioxidants: Raw cacao powder is extremely rich in beneficial plant polyphenols. The most beneficial of these are flavanoids, which are antioxidants. In fact, cacao powder contains far more antioxidants per 100 g than acai berries, goji berries and blueberries. Antioxidants comprise a whopping 10% of the weight of cacao powder."

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

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that have undergone changes in mineralogy, texture and/or chemical composition as a result of changes in temperature and pressure. The original rock may have been igneous, sedimentary or another metamorphic rock.2. The pressure and heat that drive metamorphism are consequences of three forces: (a) internal heat of the Earth. ( b) weight of the overlying rock. ( c) horizontal or tectonic forces that cause the rocks to deform.3. Figure 8.1: Pressures and temperatures increase as we go deeper into the earth. Temperatures increase with depth at different rates depending on the location.4, Figure 8.2: A measure of the rate at which temperatures increase with depth is a measure of the geothermal gradient.

Some are just trying to eat healthier and live a healthier lifestyle. Many of those women and men are making Fertility Smoothies everyday, but there are some that have posed the question, “Does Cold Food and Drink Contribute to Infertility? My Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner says I should only eat warming foods because they support overall fertility, so should I continue the smoothies and eat a big salad every day? Aren’t the smoothies and raw vegetables a cooling or a dampening food?” The answer is not so simple because it is yes and no. The answer is also based on the individual. Traditional Chinese Medicine views each person as unique and the body as whole, this is a holistic, natural approach to healing. Some TCM practitioners suggest only eating warming food and drink when trying to conceive because they believe that some foods interfere with your chances of conceiving, but really it is all about balance."

The mushrooms, which grow on oak logs, are low in calories but high in minerals such as potassium and zinc. Shiitake mushrooms, unlike some mushroom varieties, are not poisonous. Any processed food, however, can become contaminated at some point in the growing, processing or preparation process. Some people also develop allergies to shiitake mushrooms that produce symptoms very similar to, and possibly confused with, food poisoning. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Contamination During Growing Shiitake mushrooms can become contaminated by infected water or animal droppings while growing. Salmonella and other bacteria such as E. coli can sicken people who eat food contaminated with the bacteria. To avoid food poisoning, wash shiitake mushrooms carefully under running water before eating them. Vegetable washes may not remove contaminants from mushrooms as well as fresh, running water, Health Canada states. Most cases of food poisoning cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and sometimes fever."

However, you can cut losses and significantly increase your nutrient intake by the care you take in choosing, storing and cooking foods. What to Choose Lean meats, skinless poultry and low-fat dairy products have more nutrients per calorie than their fattier versions. Whole grains (for example, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, brown rice) have more nutrients than foods made from refined grains, even if they are enriched. Whole grain foods leavened with yeast have less phytate, which can inhibit the absorption of calcium, iron and zinc. Parboiled, or converted, white rice is more nutritious than regular white rice. Dark green leafy vegetables and deep-yellow vegetables have more vitamin A than lighter-colored ones. Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables have more nutrients than canned ones (canning may reduce the amount of some vitamins by half). But fresh is not necessarily better than frozen, since frozen foods are usually processed soon after picking whereas fresh foods may spend days in transport and storage (both in the store and at home) before being consumed. If you cannot shop often, frozen produce may be more nutritious than fresh."

By Ryan Andrews Share Phytic acid – the storage form of phosphorus – is one of those pesky “anti-nutrients” the Paleo community keeps telling you to avoid. It’s often considered an anti-nutrient because it binds minerals in the digestive tract, making them less available to our bodies. Yet these same anti-nutrient properties can also help in the prevention of chronic disease. What is phytic acid? Seeds — such as nuts, edible seeds, beans/legumes, and grains — store phosphorus as phytic acid. When phytic acid is bound to a mineral in the seed, it’s known as phytate.

Thiamine deficiency causes a condition known as beriberi or beri-beri. The initial symptoms are very vague. The first indication of thiamine deficiency may be simple fatigue. As the condition becomes more advanced, there is a wide range of symptoms, affecting many organ systems. These include, but are not limited to chest pains, memory loss, muscle cramps and weakness. In more advanced cases, muscle atrophy and heart failure may be present. Purpose Thiamin has several important functions. It works with other B-group vitamins to help release energy from the food we eat and it keeps nerves and muscle tissue healthy. In the form of thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), it plays an essential role as a cofactor in key reactions breaking down food and converting carbohydrate into energy for the body (carbohydrate metabolism)."

It is known that every process in the body requires some action of enzymes and digesting food is one very important reason for the existence of digestive enzymes. There are many different kinds of enzymes, too, each acting on only a very limited range of chemical reactions. According to Dr. James B. Sumner, Professor of Biochemistry, Cornell University, three classes of elements are required for good health — minerals, vitamins and enzymes. While your body cannot make vitamins and minerals, your body does have the power to make enzymes from its own cells. All animal and vegetable cells can and do make enzymes. Enzymes have never ever been seen, not even by the most powerful microscope, but they were isolated by Dr. Sumner and they are believed to be protein. There is a great variety of enzymes and life could not exist without them. Digestive enzymes properly digest all foods, breaking the nutrients down into a form that is able to pass through the minute pores of the intestine wall and into the bloodstream. They are believed to be able to rebuild the digested food into glands, nerves, muscles and bones."

Macro minerals are minerals that you need in quantities greater than 100mg/day and make up about 1 percent of your total body weight. These include sodium, chloride, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium. Trace minerals are elements that are needed is smaller amounts, 1-100mg/day by adults and are less than .01 percent of total body weight. These include Copper, Chromium, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Molybdenum, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc. Trace Minerals are inorganic matter that cannot be destroyed by cooking or heat and are essential to the body for a variety of processes. The daily needs for minerals are labeled with either Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) or Adequate Intake (AIs). Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are the recommended daily needs of nutrients for most healthy adults of specific age and gender groups, this is chosen when there is firm scientific nutrient intake consensus. Adequate Intake (AIs) are very similar to the RDAs, but this label is used when there is not enough evidence to determine firm RDAs.

Organic And Inorganic Minerals3.1 The Differences in Mineral Forms Most knowledgeable people today recognize that the body must have certain minerals to accomplish its work and preserve its health. However, only a few realize that these minerals must be in their organic state to do us any good at all. Please understand these facts: Minerals are inorganic as they exist naturally in the soil and water. Minerals are organic as they exist in plants and animals. Only plants can transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals. Animals must eat plants or plant-eating animals to obtain their organic minerals. Inorganic minerals are useless and injurious to the animal organism.3.2 How the Confusion Began Because inorganic minerals and organic minerals have the same chemical compositions, they were confused by the early nutritionists. The mineral, iron, in the bloodstream has the same chemical composition as the mineral, iron, in a nail—iron is iron, after all. However, these nutritionists incorrectly reasoned that there were no other differences between these two forms of iron."

Thousands of minerals have been discovered, but only about 200 are common to the average person. Humans cannot live without minerals; they keep the human body functioning normally. People use minerals every day within their bodies and in many industries, but minerals cannot be made by man. Occurring Naturally Minerals must be found occurring naturally. Substances concocted in laboratories cannot be considered minerals because they don't exist in nature. Although some laboratory products resemble minerals, they are not true minerals. Cubic zirconia and synthetic corundum, a substance passed off as a ruby or sapphire in high school graduation rings, are not true minerals because even though they conform to the other characteristics of minerals, they do not occur in nature. Not all naturally occurring substances are crystals either; opal and amber, the sap of ancient trees that have fossilized, are not minerals. Substances called mineraloids may look like minerals but are not because they don't satisfy all the requirements of minerals."

"text": "\"Fossils Window to the past Permineralization What is permineralization ? One of the common types of fossils is permineralization. This occurs when the pores of the plant materials, bones, and shells are impregnated by mineral matter from the ground, lakes, or ocean. In some cases, the wood fibers and cellulose dissolve and some minerals replace them. Sometimes the mineral substance of the fossils will completely dissolve and some other minerals replace them. The common minerals that form this kind of fossils are calcite, iron, and silica. Since the pores of the organic tissues are filled with minerals or the organic matter is replaced with minerals, the fossils are formed in the original shape of the tissue or organism, but the composition of the fossils will be different and they will be heavier. Petrification (petros means stone) occurs when the organic matter is completely replaced by minerals and the fossil is turned to stone. This generally occurs by filling the pores of the tissue, and inter and intra cellular spaces with minerals, then dissolving the organic matter and replacing it with minerals. This method reproduces the original tissue in every detail."

"text": "\"The Truth About Minerals in Nutritional Supplements Robert Thiel, Ph. D., Naturopath Abstract: Even though natural health professionals agree that humans should not try to consume industrial chemicals, most seem to overlook this fact when mineral supplementation is involved. And even though many people interested in natural health take minerals, the truth is that nearly all the minerals taken are “natural” for nothing except plants and/or industrial chemicals. While plants are designed to ingest and break-down minerals, humans are not. The truth about nearly all minerals in supplements is that they are really industrial chemicals made from processing rocks with one or more acids. The consumption of this “other half” of the mineral compound is not only unnatural, it can lead to toxicity concerns. Humans were designed to eat food and to get their minerals from foods. Foods DO NOT naturally contain minerals bound to substances such as picolinic acid, carbonates, oxides, phosphates, etc. When supplementation is indicated, only supplements made from 100% food should be considered for supporting optimal health. In a nutritional context, minerals are certain elements, such as iron and phosphorus that are essential for the physiology of living organisms to exist."

With our body made up of around 60% of water, minerals are like the nuts and bolts that hold us together and make everything work. The brain runs the body by sending electrical signals to make everything function. The truth is that without minerals you would die. Minerals are more important than vitamins because the body can make vitamins but it cannot make minerals. They must come from 'Mother Nature'. Some doctors estimate that because our cells are constantly being replaced, that over a period of 7-10 years, every cell in the body has been replaced. In effect, this means that none of us are more than 10 years old. This cell replacement cannot be done without minerals, so if you are not getting the essential minerals that your body needs, then how healthy will your body be in 7-10 years?

Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places, areas where tectonic plates are moving apart, ocean basins, and hotspots. Hydrothermal vents are locally very common because the earth is both geologically active and has large amounts of water on its surface and within its crust. Common land types include hot springs, fumaroles and geysers. The most famous hydrothermal vent system on land is probably within Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Under the sea, hydrothermal vents may form features called black smokers. Relative to the majority of the deep sea, the areas around submarine hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids. Chemosynthetic archaea form the base of the food chain, supporting diverse organisms, including giant tube worms, clams, limpets and shrimp . Active hydrothermal vents are believed to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, and ancient hydrothermal vents have been speculated to exist on Mars.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace mineral for cattle. It is involved in proper immune function, acts as an antioxidant, and helps activate thyroid hormones. Symptoms of selenium deficiency include muscle damage, increased illness, impaired growth and decreased reproductive efficiency. The most common ailment noticed by cattlemen in selenium deficient cattle is white muscle disease. This disease causes calves to be stiff and have damage to their muscles especially in the hind legs."

They are any substance that meets these four specific qualities: Minerals are natural: These substances that form without any human help. Minerals are solid: They don't droop or melt or evaporate. Minerals are inorganic: They aren't carbon compounds like those found in living things. Minerals are crystalline: They have a distinct recipe and arrangement of atoms. Take a peek at the mineral picture index to see examples that match these criteria. Despite that, though, there are still some exceptions to that criteria.

"text": "Important Questions About Chelated Trace Minerals What is Chelation? Chelation is the suspension of a mineral between two or more amino acids, or bonding to “small proteins”, peptides or amino acids. (“ Chela” is Greek for “claw”.) Chelation substances can include things like amino acids, ascorbic acid and orotates, as well as hydrolyzed protein. Chelation improves the absorption of the mineral from the digestive tract. What difference does it make whether the minerals added are organic or inorganic? If inorganic minerals are ingested they have to be chelated before they can be assimilated. This causes some absorption problems for the organism performing the chelating. However, if a second organism can benefit from ingesting pre-chelated minerals, this is ideal. Organic minerals, therefore, have been previously processed by plants, or other marine life, whereas inorganic trace minerals are in their raw, elemental or metallic state."

In ore beneficiation, flotation is a process in which valuable minerals are separated from worthless material or other valuable minerals by inducing them to gather in and on the surface of a froth layer. Sulfide and non-sulfide minerals as well as native metals are recovered by froth flotation. This process is based on the ability of certain chemicals to modify the surface properties of the mineral (s). Other chemicals are used to generate the froth and still others are used to adjust the p H. Certain chemicals are even capable of depressing the flotation of minerals that are either to be recovered at a later time or are not to be recovered.froth flotation cells The process of froth flotation entails crushing and grinding the ore to a fine size. This fine grinding separates the individual mineral particles from the waste rock and other mineral particles. The grinding is normally done in water with the resultant slurry called the pulp. The pulp is processed in the flotation cells, which agitate the mixture and introduce air as small bubbles.rod mill The ability of a mineral to float depends upon its surface properties. Chemical modification of these properties enables the mineral particles to attach to an air bubble in the flotation cell. The air bubble and mineral particle rise through the pulp to the surface of the froth or foam that is present on the flotation cell."

"text": "\"Chapter 10 - Metamorphic Rocks and Processes Metamorphism and Formation of Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphosis literally means “a change in form.” Metamorphism is the mineralogical, chemical, and structural adjustment of solid rocks to physical and chemical conditions imposed at depth below the surface and below surficial zones where processes of sedimentation, compaction, and cementation take place. Metamorphism may take place where a rock is subjected to conditions unlike those in which it originally formed. A metamorphic rock is a rock that was once one form of rock but has changed to another under the influence of heat, pressure, or fluids without passing through a liquid phase ( without completely melting ). Metamorphic rocks are not melted as they form (that would be igneous); the mineralogical change takes place in a solid state. Metamorphism and metamorphic rocks are part of the rock cycle ( Figure 10-1 ). Most metamorphic rocks are made up of common rock forming minerals but may also contain minerals that only form under metamorphic conditions (of which there are an interesting variety). Both sedimentary and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks. Igneous activity can also cause metamorphism as rocks are heated or even partially melt, releasing water and gases and some of their low-temperature melting minerals (such as quartz and micas).

"text": "\"Science News from research organizations'Organic' milk is poorer in iodine than conventional milk Date: July 4, 2013Source: Plataforma SINCSummary: Milk from organic farms has a lower concentration of elements like zinc, iodine and selenium than milk produced by conventional farming methods. The discrepancy is due to the absence of mineral substances in the diets of the cows reared. According to researchers, animals on organic farms should have their diets supplemented with natural sources of iodine such as seaweed, because it is a very important element for children and pregnant women. Share: FULL STORYMilk from organic farms has a lower concentration of elements like zinc, iodine and selenium than milk produced by conventional farming methods. The discrepancy is due to the absence of mineral substances in the diets of the cows reared. According to researchers, animals on organic farms should have their diets supplemented with natural sources of iodine such as seaweed, because it is a very important element for children and pregnant women. The concentration of nutrients in animal food products is linked to the diets of the animals reared. Conventional production methods provide mineral diet supplements, while in organic farming animals depend on the mineral content in soil, which may not be sufficient. For this reason, researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela compared the mineral and toxic elements of organic and conventional milk taken from over thirty farms located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. The results demonstrated that mineral element content in organic milk is low compared with conventional milk, although no differences were found in the quantity of toxic compounds such as cadmium, which were also detected in very low concentrations. \"\""

"text": "Abstracts in Other Languages: 中文 (993), 日本語 (1042), 한국어 (876)Introduction Soil fertility is one of the most important factors in crop production. Repeated applications of mature compost made from farmyard manure or rice straw is often recommended in Japan, in order to maintain soil fertility. However, the use of composted organic materials has been gradually decreasing in Japan over the last few decades, because of the labor shortage and farm mechanization, and because most farms which produce crops no longer keep livestock. At the same time, the direct application of crop residues has increased. Some of the manure produced on intensive livestock farms is used in a raw form, while some of it is mixed with a little bedding or straw. This is because livestock farms are producing more manure than can be applied to their own farmlands, and the excess has to be taken away to use on crop farms elsewhere. Various kinds of compost made from livestock manure and diverse organic materials, such as sawdust, bark and so on, are being made for sale by commercial companies, and also by agricultural cooperatives and individual livestock farms. These diverse materials are being used because of a shortage of suitable raw materials such as straw. The main objectives in applying organic matter are to supply balanced plant nutrition, to increase soil fertility (including the ability of soil to release nitrogen slowly), and to build up the level of soil organic matter. The ability of organic materials to do these things is strongly influenced by the process of their decomposition process in the soil, as well as their nutrient content."

"text": "A rock can be defined as a solid substance that occurs naturally because of the effects of three basic geological processes: magma solidification; sedimentation of weathered rock debris; and metamorphism . As a result of these processes, three main types of rock occur: Igneous Rocks - produced by solidification of molten magma from the mantle. Magma that solidifies at the Earth's surface conceives extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks. When magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks are formed. Sedimentary Rocks - formed by burial, compression, and chemical modification of deposited weathered rock debris or sediments at the Earth's surface. Metamorphic Rocks - created when existing rock is chemically or physically modified by intense heat or pressure. Most rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are defined by geologists as naturally occurring inorganic solids that have a crystalline structure and a distinct chemical composition. Of course, the minerals found in the Earth's rocks are produced by a variety of different arrangements of chemical elements. A list of the eight most common elements making up the minerals found in the Earth's rocks is described in Table 10d-1."

Mineral Resources Origin of Mineral Deposits Mineral Deposits and Plate Tectonics Energy Resources Solar Energy Nuclear Energy Fossil Fuels Formation of Petroleum Oil Traps Distribution of Petroleum Oil Shale and Tar Sands Coaladapted to HTML from lecture notes of Prof. Stephen A. Nelson Tulane University Mineral Resources Almost all Earth Materials are used by humans for something. We require metals for making machines, sands and gravels for making roads and buildings, sand for making computer chips, limestone and gypsum for making concrete, clays for making ceramics, gold, silver, copper and aluminum for making electric circuits, and diamonds and corundum ( sapphire, ruby, emerald) for abrasives and jewelry. A mineral deposit is a volume of rock enriched in one or more materials. In this sense a mineral refers to a useful material, a definition that is different from the way we defined a mineral back in Chapter 2. Here the word mineral can be any substance that comes from the Earth. Finding and exploiting mineral deposits requires the application of the principles of geology that you have learned throughout this course. Some minerals are used as they are found in the ground, i.e. they require no further processing or very little processing. For example - gemstones, sand, gravel, and salt (halite). Most minerals must be processed before they are used."

Help Select the $100 Cartoon Caption Winner!WIN $150! 2018 Winter Nursing Article Contestby in2ICUViews: 29,941 Comments: 28Hi All, Are mittens, used alone, considered a restraint at your facility? I have worked at a couple of major magnet-designated medical centers and they have opposing views on classifying the use of mittens as a restraint. One says they are, and the other calls them a restraint alternative. Just to be clear, I mean the boxing glove looking mittens that have velcro at the wrist to hold them on the patient's hands. These are NOT tied down in any way shape or form and the patient can still move his/her arms. Specifically, I use these in the ICU to keep patients who are sedated from pulling their ET tube or central line because obviously they are not thinking clearly! Please let me know what your hospital's stance is... thanks!28 Comments Comment1 2 3 Next »Sep 10, '11Yes. I have one pt who needed the mitts to keep from pulling her PEG tube out."

These are some of my favorites overall and one of the reasons is listed right on their logo. They are American made since 1934. You should learn about their history because it’s a great story. Everything from digging their way out of the great depression to making their first one’s to creating night vision goggles and now they also make bats! Pretty impressive huh? One of my favorite things about these mitts is that the materials are from the USA and they are made in the USA by Americans. Can’t get any better than that!In the picture: Nokona Walnut WB-1175This page features the very popular series buckaroo so check that out as well as the Bloodline editions."

"text": "\"How to Select a Baseball Glove Introduction There are many different kinds of baseball gloves. When it comes to selecting a baseball glove, you may want to have a different glove for each position, or you may want one glove that covers all the bases. Here are a few suggestions to ponder before shopping for the perfect baseball glove for you. Don't buy into the media messages that one brand or one kind of glove is better than another, or will make you a better player. It really comes down to you, your position, and your personal preferences. If you're an amateur baseball player, most likely you won't just be in one position on the field all season long. You'll be assuming multiple infield and outfield posts. In this case, may be best to get a glove that can accommodate it all. If you tend to assume a particular position more than others, than selecting a baseball glove that covers it all, might be your best bet. Some general guidelines to consider when selecting a baseball glove: Select a glove that fits Choose the right glove for your position Choose a versatile glove Check for durability and quality leather Shop for a glove that fits your price range Make sure your glove has the right webbing, and other parts Select a glove that fits: Choosing the right-sized glove General sizing chart: Glove Size by Age Age Glove Size4 - 6 10\"\"7 - 9 11\"\"10 - Adult 12\"\" to 13\"\"Position-specific glove sizing charts: Baseball Glove Sizes Age Position Glove Size8 - 13 Infield 10 1/2\"\" to 11 1/2\"\"8 - 13 Outfield 11 1/2\"\" to 12 1/2\"\"14+ Infield 11\"\" to 12\"\"14+ Outfield 12\"\" to 12 3/4\"\"Fast pitch Softball Glove Sizes Age Position Glove Sizeup to 8 Infield 9\"\" to 10 3/4\"\"up to 8 Outfield 10\"\" to 11 1/5\"\"9 - 13 Infield 10 1/2\"\" to 11 1/2\"\"9 - 13 Outfield 11 1/2\"\" to 12 1/5\"\"14+ Infield 11 3/4\"\" to 12 1/2\"\"14+ Outfield 12 3/4\"\" to 14\"\"Slow pitch Softball Glove Sizes Age Position Glove Size14+ Infield 12\"\" to 12 3/4\"\"14+ Outfield 12 1/2\"\" to 14\"\"Tip: Make sure there is ample hand space for a batting glove to be worn inside."

"text": "You Are Here: Home → Medical Encyclopedia → Use of restraints Use of restraints Restraints in a medical setting are items that limit a patient's movement. Restraints can help keep a person from getting hurt or doing harm to others, including their caregivers. They are used as a last resort. There are many types of restraints. They can include: Belts, vests, jackets, and mitts for the patient's hands Devices that prevent people from being able to move their elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles Other ways to restrain a patient include: A caregiver holding a patient in a way that restricts the person's movement Patients being given medicines against their will to restrict their movement Placing a patient in a room alone, from which the person is not free to leave When are Restraints Used? Restraints may be used to keep a person in proper position and prevent movement or falling during surgery or while on a stretcher. Restraints can also be used to control or prevent harmful behavior. Sometimes hospital patients who are confused need restraints so that they do not: Scratch their skin Remove catheters and tubes that give them medicine and fluids Get out of bed, fall, and hurt themselves Harm other people Patient Rights Restraints should not cause harm or be used as punishment. Health care providers should first try other methods to control a patient and ensure safety. Restraints should be used only as a last choice."

Equally interesting, though, is what it will be lacking. Specifically, the new Apple TV closes off a direct conduit to the Web—and all the annoyances that come with it. As pointed out late last week by i OS developer Daniel Pasco, tv OS has been stripped of Web Kit and UIWebview, two tools that combined allow developers to easily tap into a “webview” for select content, like when you followed a link to this story from within your i Phone’s Twitter app. That will potentially make life harder for the developers who use webviews as shortcuts; the ability to pull in existing elements from the Web to round out your app means you don’t need intimate knowledge of sometimes labyrinthine software developer kits (SDKs). That’s a more standard practice than you might realize. “ Webviews traditionally have been used as an easy way to render complex content, like styled text views with embedded imagery, or magazine-style layouts,” explains Steven Troughton-Smith, founder and CEO of High Caffeine Content and prominent i OS developer. “ In this sense, webviews are incredibly common, and whole classes of apps would have to rethink how they display content."

In a lot of ways, it’s the final piece to that spectacular diving catch in the outfield or what you need to stop that line drive down the third base line. Not all gloves are created equal in terms of size and material. What size baseball glove or softball glove you should use largely depends on the position you play, but there are also other factors that help determine exactly which glove you should equip yourself with. In this guide, we will cover: The parts of a baseball and softball glove Guidelines for selecting a glove The proper way to measure a baseball or softball glove Differences in the gloves by position Parts of a Baseball/Softball Glove There are four major important parts to a baseball or softball glove and they are specified below: When buying a glove, there are a few basic terms that have to be defined first: Type of throw - Refers to which hand a player uses to throw the ball (not which hand the glove is on), depending on if the player is a righty or a lefty. RHT - Right hand thrower. Means the player throws with his or her right hand and wears the glove on the left. LHT - Left hand thrower. Means the player throws with his or her left hand and wears the glove on the right.

Of course, if this were also the best way, then this would be a very short guide indeed. Washing your car at an automated car wash should only be done as an absolute last resort, as it is a one-stop shop for damaging the delicate paint on your car. Imagine that your cars paintwork is the skin on your face. Then imagine what your face would look like if, every time you washed it, you used the cheapest soap, applied it with a bottle cleaning brush from the kitchen, rinsed with cold water, and dried it using your hair dryer. Chances are it would rarely look its best!To keep your car looking its best, the most preferable way to clean it is by hand. Far from being boring or hard work, washing your car this way can actually be very therapeutic, the repeated motions almost acting as a meditation and when done properly, the results can be very satisfying. Washing First you need buckets, not just one, but two. Then you need a decent car wash product such as Meguiars, Auto Glym, or Poorboys. Under no circumstances should you use washing-up liquid as this contains ingredients that attack the shiny topcoat of your paint and will make it dull over time."

If you cook a lot at home, you should familiarize yourself with cooking attire, and even think about getting some of your own. Don’t worry; you don’t have to wear a boring black and white uniform in your own kitchen. There are plenty of cool options like jackets made of denim that will appeal to urban chef’s everywhere — even if they’re not cooking in a restaurant kitchen. While some pieces of the uniform are optional, there are a few that you should think about having on hand, at least for those times where you know you’ll be spending hours in the kitchen cooking a big feast. Apron An apron serves many purposes in the kitchen, which is why it’s a standard part of every restaurant employee’s uniform, even if they are not necessarily cooking. In addition to protecting your clothes from stains, an apron with pockets is a great way to have essentials on hand whenever you need them. Things like towels, a thermometer, or even a small pairing knife can go with you wherever you go. This is especially helpful in large kitchens. Choosing an apron can be tricky; there are a variety of aprons in different styles and fabrics on the market today."

O. Box 367 Trenton, New Jersey 08625Dear Mrs. Morris: We have received several comments from health care providers, state Survey and Certification Agencies, and the regional offices regarding a difference between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) concerning what constitutes a physical restraint, especially as it relates to side rail use. This letter was developed by the FDA and HCFA as a product of the Hospital Bed Safety Project. The intent of the letter is to clarify the difference in interpretation of restraints between the two agencies. We would appreciate your assistance in communicating this clarification by distributing this letter to the states. Used improperly, restraints, including side rails, can pose a serious health and safety risk to nursing-home residents. Under HCFA’s requirements for nursing homes that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding, restraints should only be used when other, less severe alternatives fail to address a resident’s medical needs, and the benefits outweigh the potential risks. In such cases, the nursing home must ensure that any restraints are used safely and properly. HCFA and the FDA each define physical restraint in accordance with its own statutory authorities. These differences in definition do not compromise the ability of the agencies to enforce their own regulatory requirements."

The nine-minute phone interview ended with giggles from Santana and the translator. Why? Romney used the word papaya that is Cuban slang for vagina!

Unlike the Democrats, where Hillary Clinton is the clear presidential favorite, there’s no frontrunner for the GOP nomination. More important, it’s unclear what Republicans stand for — other than hatred of President Obama. During the last week of February, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) occurred in Washington, DC. Speakers lambasted Obama and Clinton. Potential candidates competed for attention — Rand Paul and Scott Walker won the CPAC straw poll. Nonetheless, there was little agreement about a positive Republican domestic policy. The CPAC crowd did agree on foreign policy. Conservatives love the Iraq War, ridicule Obama as a wimp, are scared to death of ISIS, and don’t trust Iran. The GOP’s problem is that, at the moment, voters aren’t concerned about foreign policy."

A need for reduction of SSIs after isolated coronary artery bypass (CABG) with donor site surgery was identified by a comparison of our rate with the rates cited by the National Healthcare Safety Network. The purpose of this project was to decrease our rate of SSIs by 40% to achieve an annual rate of 1.61 per 100 procedures. This rate is based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ national safety goal for overall reduction in hospital infections. Description: Using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) and rapid adoption methods, a multidisciplinary committee of cardiothoracic surgeons, nurses from each patient contact department, environmental services, home health care, and support personnel was developed to begin the improvement process. The committee created a flowchart of the current process, from when the patient is identified for surgery until discharge, to provide a means to analyze all processes for inconsistencies and variations. The flowchart was posted in the cardiac intensive care unit and the operating room, where frontline personnel were actively engaged in the improvement process by reviewing and placing notes on the flowchart. Direct observations were conducted in various areas throughout the patient care experience to ensure accuracy of the flowchart. In addition to observation, the charts of patient’s with SSIs were reviewed for the past 2 years for common denominators, of which none were found. The committee conducted a current evidence-based literature review to verify that our process mirrored best practice."

"text": "Home Buying Home Buying Basics What Makes Modular Homes Different? Share Flip Pin Email•••By Janet Wickell Updated November 18, 2017Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are never subjected to adverse weather conditions like your typical stick-built homes. The individual sections move through the factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every step. Finished modules are covered for protection, then transported to your home site. They are placed on a pre-made foundation, professionally joined, and completed by your local builder. How long does it take to build a modular home? That depends on your design and the manufacturer, but some modular homes can be built in the factory in as little as 1-2 weeks. And since modulars are built indoors, there's never a weather delay. It usually takes another 2-4 weeks for your local builder to put the pieces together once the materials are delivered to the building site. They sound like mobile homes."

"text": "It seems that everywhere you turn online, you see another picture of a fabulous modular home, built in a factory but looking every bit as good as any home built on-site. But looks can be deceiving. Decades after modular home building was touted as the wave of the future in real estate, the actual number of modular homes built in the U. S. is still small – about 14,000 last year. While growth is slow, proponents see several factors that could boost modular construction’s popularity. “The concept of modular is huge,” says Marianne Cusato, designer of the Katrina Cottages, which started as a plan for housing that could be built quickly after a hurricane. “ The idea that you can figure out online what you want, order it up and have it appear – it’s the holy grail of housing. ”Modular homes – built in a factory to local building codes and assembled on-site – made up less than 1.5 percent of all the homes built in the U. S. in 2014, according to Fred Hallahan of Hallahan Associates, a Baltimore housing consultant with a focus on modular housing. Modular homes are most popular in the Northeast, where labor costs are highest, making up 4 percent of all homes built in the region in 2014. While modular homes made up only a small share of homes built last year, Hallahan says the “wave has been ready to crest for decades.” One reason for this is increased design flexibility, which has grown enormously with the help of computer-aided design."

You may be surprised to learn there are financing options available for non-single-family residence houses. Here’s what you need to know. The different types of mobile homes Your property type holds all the cards when it comes to whether or not you’ll be able to obtain competitive loan terms. ( Your financing will also depend on your credit score, with good ones qualifying you for better rates. You can see where you credit stands by viewing your two free credit scores each month on Credit.com.) For starters, you need to own the land. If you own the structure, but you don’t own the land, your options become very limited and pricey. The classic scenario is you own a unit in a mobile home park where one entity owns land and all of the people who reside in the complex pay a housing obligation called “space rent.”"

Modular buildings and modular homes are sectional prefabricated buildings, or houses, that consist of multiple sections called modules. \"\" Modular\"\" is a method of construction differing from other methods of building. The module sections are constructed at an off site (sometimes, remote) facility, then delivered to the intended site of use. Complete construction of the prefabricated sections are completed on site. The prefabricated sections are sometimes lifted and placed on basement walls using a crane, the module prefabricated sections are set onto the building's foundation and joined together to make a single building. The modules can be placed side-by-side, end-to-end, or stacked, allowing a wide variety of configurations and styles in the building layout. Modular buildings, also called prefabricated homes or precision built homes, are built to the same or higher building standards as on-site stick-built homes. The building method is referred to as permanent modular construction. Modular homes are built the same and considered the same as a stick built home."

A manufactured home is any factory-built home in the United States that is built conforming to HUD Title 6 construction standards (commonly known as \"\"the HUD-code\"\"). The HUD-code was implemented and took effect starting June 15, 1976. A HUD-coded home will display documentation called the HUD Certification Label and the Data Plate. The red HUD Certification Label (sometimes called the \"\"HUD Label\"\") can be located on the tail end of each transportable section of the home (as shown here to the right).

"text": "\"Mobile VS Manufactured WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOBILE, MANUFACTURED, AND MODULAR HOME? Most people refer any home not built in the traditional manner as a \"\"mobile\"\" home,. But in fact, there are no longer any \"\"mobile\"\" homes as originally termed. After WWII when veterans came home, jobs and affordable housing were non-existent. The trailer industry created the \"\"mobile\"\" home which provided an affordable space to house a family and could also be moved to new job location. The picture below is what was actually built as an original \"\"mobile home trailer\"\". which could sleep up to four people but had no bathroom facility. Once the economy began to improve and families didn't need to travel from city to city to find jobs, the mobile home trailer became simply known as a \"\"mobile home\"\". Mobile homes built in the 1960-70's were not designed to travel from city to city, but they were built with wheels/axles and could be relocated. The mobile home usually a \"\"single wide\"\" was built in a factory, designed to fit in one highway lane and could be moved without any type of special moving permit, but usually required a professional trucking company to relocate the home."

And how much does it cost to get all the necessaries - water, gas, electricity, sewage hooked up? The lot would be right on the street. What factors affect the price? Thanks!2 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi, I am building a modular here in VA and I recently went and talked to the Modular home people as well. Right now we are looking at a modular with two bedrooms and two baths. It is not that big (around 1053 sq. feet I believe) and JUST THE HOUSE is going to run us $41,000 which equals out to be around $38.93 a square foot. Now some of the other homes on the lot they are looking for as much as $47.98 a square foot so You can expect a home to be right in there as far as price goes."

The reason that clown fish live a shorter time in captivity is that many fish enthusiasts do not put the correct sea anemone in the tank for the clown fish to survive for an extended period.

Full Answer Clown fish live in symbiosis with sea anemone, meaning that the sea anemone and the clown fish rely on each other for survival. There are thousands of anemones but only a handful that work well with the clown fish. The clown fish lays thousands of eggs at a time and they hatch in less than a week. Clown fish lay their eggs near sea anemones to protect the babies from predators."

"text": "\"Algae Eaters for the Freshwater Aquarium An illustrated guide to the most popular options Age of Aquariums > Aquarium Articles Text Introduction The most important part of fighting excessive algae growth in aquariums is by nutrient control, as already covered in the articles Algae Control! and Freshwater Algae Types: An Illustrated Guide in this section, but a lot of help can be given by adding algae-eating fish and invertebrates as part of your aquarium population. Algae eaters are a great addition to any aquarium really, but it is important to regard them with the same status you give to all your other watery pets, making sure that you choose compatible species for your aquarium, and that you're providing them with what they need to live well in the long term. An exception is the case where you have several tanks and then you can move algae eaters temporarily into one tank to help with algae combat, and them bring them back to their home tank when you're satisfied with the results. Always keep in mind though, that they are helpers - algae combat is a daily concern that will always be your responsibility. Avoid making the very common mistake of thinking that just by adding an algae eater to your tank you can now forget about the issue! The most effective way of using algae eaters to help you keep algae low in your tank is to add different types of algae eaters, because not all eat the same algae, nor from the same type of surface. A combination of snails, shrimps and algae-eating fish is a good way to go. But again, always check for compatibility and fish/invertebrate requirements, please. It is much better to keep them in planted aquariums, since the food sources are wider."

The tubules are lined with a layer of cells ( germ cells) that from puberty into old age, develop into sperm cells (also known as spermatozoa or male gametes ).

Avoid aggressive species or fish that will fit in the angelfish mouth or that can eat the mollies. Bottom feeders like corydora catfish, bristlenose plecos, and some loaches are good choices.

Here is why: While mollies can be strictly freshwater fish (and I keep them this way) they tend to get sick more often. A good small does of MARINE salt makes them hardier and less prone to getting sick. Angel fishes don't really like salt and they grow to be quite big."

I brought my female fancy guppy, Bridget, home on June 21, 2014. As far as I could tell she was already pregnant. She had that black gravid spot towards the middle of her body.

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Bettas or Siamese fighting fish come from Indo China and are extremely aggressive towards eachother. You can not put two males together in any sized container even if you own a lake! They will meet in the center and fight to the death. But dont fret! Bettas can be community fish. So if you got a 10 gallon tank with non-finn-nipping type fish like mollies, guppies, tetras, danios, etc. then he will do perfectly fine in there. Also, males and females have been known not to get allong also. Fighting is some times part of thier mating ritual."

Let's see if I can’t convince you. First and foremost, African cichlids are prized and adored for their beautiful coloration. You cannot find freshwater fish that are more colorful than these fish from East Africa. And, you cannot find a saltwater fish with color equal to African cichlids for even half the price. Look at this picture of a Lake Victoria Hap, for example. Can you find a color of the rainbow that he doesn’t display? Green is probably the only color. And this is just one of over a thousand colorful species. On the whole, African cichlids are relatively intelligent fish."

I have yet to own my own gourami, but plan on getting a dwarf gourami this week, so I have done lots of research and picked the brains of some of the knowledgable people here at TFK and here is what I have learned regarding your questions... 1- Not sure if you need to worry about them with the rainbow as I have never kept one of those before. As for the mollies, good to know since I was considering mollies in with my future Dwarf Gourami and was thinking it would be fine. I can tell you that gourami like slow swimming fish that are calm, and that they will naturally tend to be shy. They like somewhere to hide, lots of plants, and maybe a floating plant for dimmer light. 2- Aggression...from what I understand, they are generally pretty peaceful with other calm community fish (rasbora being the top rated tankmate I have heard of for them). But they can get aggressive with each other. I have heard that a sexed pair of dwarf gourami will swim together, and have also heard that it is possible to keep 1 male and 2 females together with few issues, and on the other side of things, I have heard stories when one gourami will eventually kill the other gourami. 3-Size... Dwarf Gourami are generally like 2 inches full grown, and I have heard of the honey sunsets getting to 3 inches, but again, no personal experiance, yet."

Types Of Algae Found In Aquariums There are various different types of algae which you may find growing in your fish tank. You may think that the type of algae is irrelevant, but when it comes to getting the right fish for eating and getting rid of the algae it is quite important to know the differences. Not all fish will eat all types of algae, so depending on what kind of algae you have you will want to get different algae eating fish. Let’s quickly go over the different kinds of algae that could be in your fish tank. Green Water – This is the first kind of algae you may find and it is actually the rarest of them all, not to mention that it’s the worst too, which is why we’re getting it out of the way. Algae eating fish won’t eat this stuff and it’s very hard to get rid of, often warranting a complete overhaul of your fish tank and the changing of water. Gold Slime – This stuff looks like slime and can appear in dots on the glass of your aquarium as well as on the fixtures. This algae is quite common and most often appears in aquariums that have a low light level or are new. This type of algae is readily eaten by fish and is also fairly easy to wipe away."

The problem with very small tanks is that it only takes a very small change in the water quality to have disastrous effect because the ecosystem is tiny so the margin for error is also very small.

A. in English; 15 years teaching in higher education · Author has 2.6k answers and 12.5m answer views You should only capitalize \"\"mom\"\" and \"\"dad\"\" when they are used as a name. Whenever they are preceded by \"\"my\"\" they should not be capitalized. For example, when writing \"\"I love you, Mom,\"\" you would capitalize \"\"mom\"\" because \"\"Mom\"\" is used as a name. When writing \"\"I think my mom is awesome,\"\" you wouldn't capitalize \"\"mom\"\" because in that case mom is used as just a word to describe a familial relationship, and it's not being used as a name. One rule of thumb is that if you can replace \"\"mom\"\" with an actual name and it still makes sense, then you should capitalize. For example, \"\"I love you Ann\"\" makes sense where as \"\"I think my Ann is awesome\"\" doesn't really make sense as a sense, unless you're using a bit of creative license.33.9k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

"text": "-An undergraduate from Texas September 12, 2013No not for certain. Even if your mom did end up getting the gene from your grandmother and you ended up getting it from your mom, your sons would still not automatically be color blind. They would each have a 50% chance. As you can see, a lot has to happen for your sons to have even a chance at being color blind! Your mom had a 50% chance of inheriting the colorblind gene from her mom. If she got it, then you had a 50% chance of getting it too. And if you got it, then each of your kids has a 50% chance of getting it as well. Because of how color blindness works, only your sons that got the gene would end up color blind (assuming your partner isn’t color blind). That last point in parentheses is an important one. Men always pass the color blind gene to their daughters but the daughters end up color blind only under the right circumstances."

"text": "Capitalization Always capitalize the pronoun, I, even in contractions like I’ve, I’ll, and I’m. Capitalize the first word of a quoted sentence, even if you already capitalized the first word of your own sentence. For example: W e heard Beyoncé say, “ G o get me a mocha latte, please. ”Capitalize all proper nouns, like place names, people’s names, the name of a company, the name of a club, the name of a historical event, religions, languages, the name of a street or town, etc…Image: i Clipart Capitalize all proper adjectives (examples: F rench bread, F lintstone vitamins, M icron computer). Common animals, like domestic dogs, black bears, and stingrays, do not need capitalized, but if the breed of animal uses someone’s last name or the name of a place (like Doberman pinschers, French poodles, and Labrador retrievers), then the names of people and places must be capitalized within the breed. Certain technology-related brand names capitalize the second letter of their name instead of the first letter. This is called “ camel case ” (instead of upper-case or lower-case). Some examples of these brand names include i Pod, i Book, i Mac, i Pad, and i Phone. Capitalize people’s titles. For example, Mr. Bean, President Lincoln, Dr. Dre, and St. Patrick."

"text": "Columns Let's Talk Rusty Iron The Whippet: More than just an old automobile By Sam Moore - August 28, 2014 33147Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Folks often ask how I think of stuff to write about, and while I sometimes really have to scratch to come up with a subject, especially when a deadline is breathing down my neck, things I see in my travels often trigger a memory that leads to an idea for a story. For example, I recently spent a couple enjoyable days at the Northwest Pennsylvania Steam Engine and Old Equipment Association summer show in Portersville, Pa. A memory A big part of the show every year is an antique car and truck display with usually 15- to 25-year-old vehicles on exhibit. This year there was a nicely restored 1928 Whippet sedan that reminded me of one of the family stories that my mother related to my sister and me on more than one occasion. Courting The story goes that when my dad was courting my mother, he drove a Whippet automobile. Mom was deeply religious and couldn’t abide swearing, and, although I’m sure Dad never uttered a cuss word in his life, he did often use milder expletives such as doggone, son-of-a gun and darn. Well, the old Whippet was noisy, Dad talked in a low voice, and on their first date Mom said she thought he was cussing and determined to never see him again. Somehow the error was resolved and they went on to marry in 1931, in spite of the noisy car. Of course this gives me the opportunity for a history lesson, as I’m sure not many readers are familiar with Whippet cars. Second in production The Willys-Overland Motor Company was the creation of John North Willys, a super salesman by all accounts but maybe not so great at running a car company. Willys gained control of the failing Overland Auto Company in Terra Haute, Ind., about 1908 and soon moved production to an old Pope-Toledo automobile factory in Toledo, Ohio, where, from 1912 to about 1918 sales of the Overland and Willys-Knight cars were second only to the Ford Model T. Willys took his profits and bought a bunch of different businesses, formed the Willys Corporation, and moved to New York City to run his far flung holdings."

"text": "How long does it take monetary policy to have an effect on the economy? Businesses and consumers do not normally change their spending plans immediately upon an interest rate change. Businesses must reevaluate, make new decisions and order reductions or expansions in production and expenditures. This means that months pass before spending is affected. Monetary policy typically has a short policy lag (the time it takes to create and implement policy) and a long expenditure lag (the time it takes businesses and consumers to adjust to the new interest rates). The total lag time is usually 9-12 months and varies a good bit. Thus when the Federal Reserve changes interest rates now, their decisions will affect economic conditions in approximately a year from the time of the change. Fiscal policy (changing taxes and government spending) also has a significant lag time. It typically has a long policy lag (the time it takes Congress to approve a tax or spending change) and a short expenditure lag (the time it takes consumers to experience the tax changes and government to change spending). The combined lags may be anywhere from one to almost five years."

I am delighted that this year's meeting has brought us to London today, giving me the opportunity to speak to you about recent developments in the Canadian economy. Among the economic issues frequently discussed in Canada these days are: the appropriateness of the Bank's continued commitment to price stability; the weakness of consumer confidence; and the sustainability of the present negative interest rate spreads with the United States. Let me elaborate. With inflation in Canada being very low these days and expected to stay low, some people are wondering why the Bank of Canada insists on remaining focussed on price stability. Why not worry more about economic growth and job creation, they ask. Others are wondering, if low inflation is good for the economy and if some of the other economic fundamentals are also more positive, why has the Canadian economy not been performing better? Why is the confidence of Canadians in their economy not stronger? People want to know the Bank's assessment of the prospects for a turnaround in consumer confidence. What is the Bank doing to support consumer confidence?"

"text": "Chapter 16 Inflation and Unemployment Start Up: The Inflation/Unemployment Conundrum As the twentieth century drew to a close, the people of the United States could look back on a remarkable achievement. From 1992 through 2000, the unemployment rate fell every year. The inflation rate, measured as the annual percentage change in the implicit price deflator, was about 2% or less during this period. The dramatic reduction in the two rates provided welcome relief to a nation that had seen soaring unemployment early in the 1980s, soaring inflation in the late 1970s, and painful increases in both rates early in the 1970s. Unemployment and inflation rates remained fairly low during the early 2000s. Following a brief recession in 2001, in which unemployment reached nearly 6% (though this actually occurred after the recession officially ended), it fell back to 4.6% in 2006 and 2007. Through 2007, inflation never exceeded 3.3%. With the start of the recession in December 2007, the unemployment rate began to rise. At first, though, it appeared that inflation was becoming a bigger problem, as rising gas and food prices until summer 2008 seemed to be driving up other prices and increasing inflationary expectations. Indeed, through much of 2008, a debate over the appropriate direction of monetary policy occurred over just this issue: should the Fed ease the federal funds rate in an attempt to reduce unemployment or at least to keep it from rising as much as it would otherwise have, or should it stem rising inflation and inflationary expectations by holding the federal funds rate constant or even increasing it?"

Meaning and Types of Lags in Monetary Policy: One of the limitations of monetary policy in countercyclical manner is the existence of time lags. It takes time for the monetary authority to realise the need for action and its recognition, and the taking of action and the effect of the action on economic activity. Friedman defines “lag” as the timing relation between the resulting monetary series and resulting series of effects of monetary actions. According to him, monetary actions affect economic conditions only after a lag that is “both long and variable”. Friedman distinguishes among three basic lags: the recognition lag the administrative lag, and the operation lag."

"text": "CONTRACTIONARY FISCAL POLICY: A form of fiscal policy in which a decrease in government purchases, an increase in taxes, and/or a decrease in transfer payments are used to correct the inflationary problems of a business-cycle expansion. The goal of contractionary fiscal policy is to close an inflationary gap, restrain the economy, and decrease the inflation rate. Contractionary fiscal policy is often supported by contractionary monetary policy. An alternative is expansionary fiscal policy. Contractionary fiscal policy is designed to restrain the economy during or anticipation of an inflation-inducing business-cycle expansion. This is accomplished by decreasing aggregate expenditures and aggregate demand through a decrease in government spending (both government purchases and transfer payments) or an increase in taxes. Contractionary fiscal policy leads to a smaller government budget deficit or a larger budget surplus. In general, contractionary fiscal policy works through the two sides of the government's fiscal budget -- spending and taxes. However, it's often useful to separate these two sides into three specific tools -- government purchases, taxes, and transfer payments. Government Purchases One of the three fiscal policy tools available to thegovernment sectoris government purchases."

Example of time lags Change in interest rate (macro)Increase in level of investment (macro)Change in price of commodity (micro)Effect of devaluation (macro) (J-Curve effect)1. Interest rate changes If we cut interest rates, we would expect a rise in investment and consumer spending.

Given our discussion, it should come as no surprise that the Fed changes the money supply by altering the level of bank reserves. Remember the definition of the monetary base and the determination of the money supply:the monetary base equals all reserves held by banks and all currency in circulation. Money supply = (Monetary base) x (Money multiplier)and Change in the Money supply = (Change in the Monetary base) x (Money multiplier). So let us focus our attention on how the Fed uses its policy tools. The Fed will alter the monetary base and thus change the money supply by a multiple of that amount. The Fed uses monetary policy to influence economic activity. But the Fed does not have direct control over the pace of economic growth. Rather, it uses policy tools to accomplish this task. The chain of events that we will discuss in this section work as follows: The Fed uses one (or more) of its policy tools: Open market operations, which we will emphasize,Changes in the reserve requirement, and Changes in the discount rate."

"text": "\"What is the relationship between the discount rate and mortgage rates? June 2002The Discount Rate is the interest rate the Federal Reserve Banks charge depository institutions on overnight loans. It is an administered rate, set by the Federal Reserve Banks, rather than a market rate of interest. The primary conventional mortgage rate is a market-determined interest rate for long-term residential mortgage loans. A change in the short-term discount rate may not affect interest rates on long-term mortgages. Let me simplify the question: How do these two interest rates behave over time? ( http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/) As the evidence presented below indicates, while these two interest rates tend to move together, they also may follow different paths from time to time. For example, in 2001 stimulative Federal Reserve monetary policy reduced the discount rate to 1.25 percent, its lowest rate in more than 50 years. In contrast, mortgage rates fell only slightly during the same period. The Discount Rate The discount rate is the interest rate on secured overnight borrowing by depository institutions, usually for reserve adjustment purposes."

"text": "How does monetary policy work? When the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) changes its official interest rate – known as Bank Rate, it is attempting to influence the overall level of activity in the economy in order to keep the demand for, and supply of, goods and services roughly in balance. Doing so results in a rate of inflation in the economy consistent with the Bank’s 2% inflation target. When demand for goods and services in the economy exceeds supply, inflation tends to rise above the Bank’s target rate of 2%. On the other hand, when supply exceeds demand, inflation tends to fall below the Bank’s 2% target. By changing Bank Rate – the rate of interest that the Bank of England pays on reserve balances held by commercial banks and building societies – the Bank of England is able to influence a range of other borrowing and lending rates set by commercial banks and building societies, and hence spending in the economy, in order to keep inflation on track to meet the 2% inflation target. A reduction in interest rates makes saving less attractive and borrowing more attractive, which stimulates spending. Lower interest rates can also affect consumers’ and firms’ cash-flow – a fall in interest rates reduces the income from savings and the interest payments due on loans. Borrowers tend to spend more of any extra money they have than lenders, so the net effect of lower interest rates through this cash-flow channel is to encourage higher spending in aggregate. The opposite occurs when interest rates are increased."

"text": "\"Homepage International Economics International Economics, Robert A. Mundell, New York: Macmillan, 1968, pp. 152-176. The Monetary Dynamics of International Adjustment under Fixed and Flexible Exchange Rates 1Robert A. Mundell The basic criticism hitherto advanced against a system of fixed exchange rates -- that the powerful instruments of monetary policy are tied to the goal of external balance thereby ruling out a domestic rate of interest compatible with full employment -- has been the subject of continued debate over past decades. First advanced over a century ago during the bullionist controversy, and revived in this century by Fisher and Keynes, the argument poses the conflict between internal stability (stable employment and price levels) and external stability (balance-of-payments equilibrium at a fixed exchange parity). In the absence of trade restrictions, which cause inefficiency and invite retaliation, one of the targets implicit in the concepts of internal and external stability must be abandoned. But, so the argument runs, full employment is a prime goal of public policy, balance-of-payments equilibrium is a long-run necessity, and sufficient price flexibility does not exist in the modern world: The rate of exchange must therefore be freed. The argument is based on money illusion: The community is unwilling to accept variations in real income through changes in money prices, but it will accept the same changes in real income through adjustments in the rate of exchange. A flexible exchange system may then be interpreted as a device for providing a more acceptable means (than employment changes) of altering the real income of the community. But what if money illusion is absent? Then, it is argued, there is no reason for changing to a system of flexible exchange rates: \"\" If internal prices were as flexible as exchange rates, it would make little economic difference whether adjustments were brought about by changes in exchange rates or by equivalent changes in internal prices.\"\""

Translation and Remeasurement of Foreign Currencies The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries having the local currency as the functional currency are translated into U. S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates applicable to each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of financial statements are reflected as a separate component of comprehensive income or loss. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries having the U.

S. dollars creates remeasurement gains and losses that are included in earnings as a component of selling, general, and administrative expense. The Company recognized net remeasurement losses of $46.0 million in the fiscal year 2009 and net remeasurement gains of $17.2 million in fiscal year 2008, and $1.4 million in fiscal year 2007. Foreign currency transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges generate gains and losses when they are settled or when they are marked to market under the prescribed accounting guidance.

Introduction The idea that taxes affect economic growth has become politically contentious and the subject of much debate in the press and among advocacy groups. That is in part because there are competing theories about what drives economic growth. Some subscribe to Keynesian, demand-side factors, others Neo-classical, supply-side factors, while yet others subscribe to some mixture of the two or something entirely unique. The facts, historical and geographical variation in key parameters for example, should shed light on the debate. However, the economy is sufficiently complex that virtually any theory can find some support in the data. For instance, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) has found support for the theory that taxes have no effect on economic growth by looking at the U. S. experience since World War II and the dramatic variation in the statutory top marginal rate on individual income. [ 1] They find the fastest economic growth occurred in the 1950s when the top rate was more than ninety percent. ["

"text": "Inflation Target The Governor and the Treasurer have agreed that the appropriate target for monetary policy in Australia is to achieve an inflation rate of 2–3 per cent, on average, over time. This is a rate of inflation sufficiently low that it does not materially distort economic decisions in the community. Seeking to achieve this rate, on average, provides discipline for monetary policy decision-making, and serves as an anchor for private-sector inflation expectations. Graph 1The inflation target is defined as a medium-term average rather than as a rate (or band of rates) that must be held at all times. This formulation allows for the inevitable uncertainties that are involved in forecasting, and lags in the effects of monetary policy on the economy. Experience in Australia and elsewhere has shown that inflation is difficult to fine-tune within a narrow band. The inflation target is also, necessarily, forward-looking. This approach allows a role for monetary policy in dampening the fluctuations in output over the course of the cycle. When aggregate demand in the economy is weak, for example, inflationary pressures are likely to be diminishing and monetary policy can be eased, which will give a short-term stimulus to economic activity. This approach to monetary policy in Australia commenced in the early 1990s."

We find that an expansion in discretionary fiscal policy boosts growth in the short term, but is detrimental in the medium term.

The relationship between CPI and PPI is very important for the measurement of inflation, for the analysis of the process of inflation within an economy, and for the efforts of the monetary authorities to minimise the uncertainly introduced by price instability into economic analysis and any decision-making process."

The Federal Reserve System was designed to give it a broad perspective on the economy and on economic activity in all parts of the nation. It is a federal system, composed of a central, independent governmental agency-- the Board of Governors--in Washington, D. C., and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, located in major cities throughout the nation. These components share responsibility for supervising and regulating certain financial institutions and activities; providing banking services to depository institutions and to the federal government; and ensuring that consumers receive adequate information and fair treatment in their business with the banking system. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the monetary policymaking body of the Federal Reserve System. The FOMC is composed of 12 members--the seven members of the Board of Governors and five of the 12 Reserve Bank presidents. The Chairman of the Board of Governors serves as the Chairman of the FOMC; the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is a permanent member of the Committee and serves as the Vice Chairman of the Committee. The presidents of the other Reserve Banks fill the remaining four voting positions on the FOMC on a rotating basis. All of the Reserve Bank presidents, including those who are not voting members, attend FOMC meetings, participate in the discussions, and contribute to the assessment of the economy and policy options. The FOMC oversees open market operations, which is the main tool used by the Federal Reserve to influence money market conditions and the growth of money and credit."

A macrophage is a kind of swallowing cell, which means it functions by literally swallowing up other particles or smaller cells. Macrophages engulf and digest debris (like dead cells) and foreign particles through the process of phagocytosis, so macrophages act like scavengers. They are constantly roaming around, searching for and destroying dead cells and foreign particles that don’t belong in the body. Because they cannot identify specific targets, macrophages are considered part of the innate immune response . Macrophages also directly aid the specific immune response. Some macrophages concentrate near the lining of the intestine, which is a natural point of entry to many outsiders due to its absorbant nature. Origin Macrophages come from specific white blood cells called monocytes. Monocytes are born from stem cells in the bone marrow and circulate throughout the blood stream. Once a monocyte leaves the blood, it matures into a wandering macrophage or a fixed macrophage."

Rozenfeld Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymgme.2013.02.003 Get rights and content Abstract Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disorder (LD) due to deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A (αGal), which leads to the accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Several mechanisms contribute to the diverse physiopathological alterations observed in this disease, and it has been suggested that an underlying proinflammatory state could play a significant role. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of a proinflammatory state in the different subsets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to understand the mechanisms that contribute to its onset and perpetuation. We have shown that cultured PBMC from Fabry patients present a higher proinflammatory cytokine expression and production. Moreover, we determined that among PBMC, dendritic cells and monocytes present a basal proinflammatory cytokine production profile, which is further exacerbated with an inflammatory stimulus. Finally we established that normal, monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages display the same proinflammatory profile when cultured in the presence of Gb3 and an inhibitor of αGal. Furthermore, this effect can be abolished using a TLR4 blocking antibody, indicating that TLR4 is necessary in the process. In summary, our results demonstrate the presence of a proinflammatory state involving two key subsets of innate immunity, and provide direct evidence of Gb3 having a proinflammatory role, likely mediated by TLR4, a finding that could help in the understanding of the underlying causes of the inflammatory pathogenesis of Fabry disease. Highlights► PBMC from Fabry patients present a higher proinflammatory cytokine profile. ► Dendritic cells and monocytes from Fabry patients secrete proinflammatory cytokines."

In this review, we focus on the interconnection between obesity, inflammation and insulin resistance. Pro-inflammatory cytokines can cause insulin resistance in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver by inhibiting insulin signal transduction. The sources of cytokines in insulin resistant states are the insulin target tissue themselves, primarily fat and liver, but to a larger extent the activated tissue resident macrophages. While the initiating factors of this inflammatory response remain to be fully determined, chronic inflammation in these tissues could cause localized insulin resistance via autocrine/paracrine cytokine signaling and systemic insulin resistance via endocrine cytokine signaling all of which contribute to the abnormal metabolic state.

Insulin resistance and human disease Insulin resistance is a characteristic feature of most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is one of the defining clinical features in the metabolic syndrome (Met S) or syndrome X. Met S is a constellation of biochemical and physical derangements which can also include central obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia (low HDL-C, elevated LDL-C and serum triglycerides), a prothrombotic state, a pro-inflammatory state and hypertension. The prevalence of Met S among adults 20 years or older is 23.7% in the United States according to the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). This would indicate that approximately 47 million Americans suffer from Met S when extrapolated to the 2000 US census data. As the epidemic of obesity shows no signs of reversing, this number is likely to rise dramatically in the future [1]. In the past, this syndrome has often been considered a disease associated with adulthood, but a recent epidemiologic study indicates that in the past decade there has been a 50% increase in the prevalence of Met S in adolescents [2]. While the clinical definition of Met S may vary between defining agencies, i.e. the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III), and The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) the existence of it is indisputable and understanding its etiology is of high importance.2."

These large phagocytes are found in essentially all tissues, [3] where they patrol for potential pathogens by amoeboid movement. They take various forms (with various names) throughout the body (e.g., histiocytes, Kupffer cells, alveolar macrophages, microglia, and others), but all are part of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Besides phagocytosis, they play a critical role in nonspecific defense ( innate immunity) and also help initiate specific defense mechanisms ( adaptive immunity) by recruiting other immune cells such as lymphocytes. For example, they are important as antigen presenters to T cells. In humans, dysfunctional macrophages cause severe diseases such as chronic granulomatous disease that result in frequent infections. Beyond increasing inflammation and stimulating the immune system, macrophages also play an important anti-inflammatory role and can decrease immune reactions through the release of cytokines."

The father of natural immunity, as Siamon described him, is credited with the discovery that antimicrobial defence requires the specific recruitment of specialized cells, the phagocytes, which are able to kill and eat potential pathogens. The larger of these specialized cells in mammals, the macrophages (or big eaters) are the subject of this review. My interest in macrophages started during my Ph D, which included a year spent at the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology in Freiburg in the late 1970s. This Institute was directed by its founder, Professor Otto Westphal, a pioneer in understanding the biochemistry of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known as endotoxins, which initiate much of the pathology of septicaemia. We now know that LPS acts on macrophages to initiate a cascade of inflammatory processes that are essential for innate immunity. I was subsequently fortunate to spend a critical time with Siamon Gordon at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford, another organization with an important history at the centre of the development of antibiotics. I have worked on the biology of macrophages ever since, and in fact, after some thirty years, I am still trying to make monoclonal antibodies against the CSF-1 receptor, a project that I undertook in Siamon’s laboratory. This review is a synthesis of reviews of macrophage biology that I have written over the past 20 years. With apologies to colleagues in the field, the review makes no attempt to provide comprehensive referencing, and refers exclusively to reviews by others for further reading where appropriate."

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that fight certain infections and help other white blood cells remove dead or damaged tissues, destroy cancer cells, and regulate immunity against foreign substances. Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and then enter the blood, where they account for about 1 to 10% of the circulating white blood cells (200 to 600 monocytes per microliter of blood). After a few hours in the blood, monocytes migrate to tissues (such as spleen, liver, lungs, and bone marrow tissue), where they mature into macrophages. Macrophages are the main scavenger cells of the immune system. Certain genetic abnormalities affect the function of monocytes and macrophages and cause buildup of fatty (lipid) debris within the cells. The resulting disorders are the lipid storage diseases (such as Gaucher disease and Niemann-Pick disease ). An increased number of monocytes in the blood (monocytosis) occurs in response to chronic infections, in autoimmune disorders, in blood disorders, and in certain cancers. An increase in the number of macrophages in parts of the body other than in the blood (such as the lungs, skin, and other organs) can occur in response to infections, sarcoidosis, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. A low number of monocytes in the blood (monocytopenia) can be caused by anything that decreases the overall white blood cell count (see Neutropenia and see also Lymphocytopenia ), such as a bloodstream infection , chemotherapy, or a bone marrow disorder."

Moser, in Comprehensive Toxicology, 20105.07.1.1.1Interstitial DCs DCs are located in the interstitial spaces that are drained by afferent lymphatic vessels in most organs. In the spleen, two major types of DCs are found: CD8 + DEC205 + DCs and CD8 − 33D1 + DCs. CD8 + DEC205 + DCs (DEC-205 is a C-type lectin) are located mainly in the T-cell area, whereas CD8 − 33D1 + DCs (recognized by the monoclonal antibody 33D1 specific for the DC inhibitory receptor-2) are detected in the red pulp and the marginal zone. These subsets appear to differ in antigen processing and in their capacity to regulate the development of T-helper cells (see later discussion). Geissmann and colleagues identified a mouse bone marrow population that expresses CD117 (c-kit, the receptor for stem cell factor) and the chemokine receptor CX 3 CR1. This progenitor called the macrophage and DC progenitor (MDP) gives rise to monocytes, to several subsets of macrophages, and to steady-state CD11c + CD8α + and CD11c + CD8α − DCs in vivo. The same authors have shown that monocytes had a very limited capacity to differentiate into steady-state splenic DCs in vivo ( Fogg et al. 2006 ). Furthermore, Naik et al. ( 2006) have identified a pre-DC population in the spleen that produces splenic CD8α + and CD8α − conventional DCs, but not plasmacytoid DCs."

"text": "\"Macrophages are white blood cells that perform several crucial activities in the immune system. Although the usual function of macrophages is thought to be to promote non-specific, innate immunity, they also help to begin specific defense processes. These cells are vital to the inflammatory response, and can be induced to pursue single targets, such as tumor cells. In the absence of foreign organisms like bacteria and viruses, one function of macrophages is to devour debris and dead tissue. Macrophages accomplish this task in the same way that they destroy foreign invaders, with a process called phagocytosis. During this process, the macrophage extends pseudopods to grab the object or organism, surrounds it, and takes it into its body inside of a vesicle. A structure called a lysosome then fuses to the vesicle, and destroys the object with enzymes and toxic chemicals. After phagocytosis has been performed, another function becomes apparent. Molecules on the invader's surface that can be recognized by immune cells, known as antigens, are taken by the macrophage, and bound to a nearby helper T cell in a process known as \"\"presentation.\"\" By binding the antigen to a specialized molecule on its own surface, the macrophage ensures that other white blood cells won't mistake it for an invader."

Your immune cells are constantly on guard and ready to go into action to detect and destroy these invaders. Your immune system can recognize millions of different enemies and produce secretions and cells to wipe out each of them. The secret to your immune system's success is its complex and exciting communications network. Tens of millions of cells, organized into groups, pass information back and forth, much like bees do when they swarm. When one group of immune cells discovers the presence of foreign invaders, it undergoes key changes and produces powerful chemical substances.

ADVERTISEMENTS: The science dealing with the various phenomena of immunity, induced sensitivity and allergy is called immunology. Types of Immunity: There are two major types of immunity: innate or natural or nonspecific and acquired or adaptive. ( A) Innate or Natural or Nonspecific Immunity (L. innatus = inborn): Innate immunity is inherited by the organism from the parents and protects it from birth throughout life. For example humans have innate immunity against distemper, a fatal disease of dogs. As its name nonspecific suggests that it lacks specific responses to specific invaders. Innate immunity or nonspecific immunity is well done by providing different barriers to the entry of the foreign agents into our body."

They are key participants in both innate non-antigen-specific immune responses and adaptive antigen-specific immune responses in the lung. They may play central roles in the transition from lung injury and inflammation to fibrosis in both chronic airway and diffuse interstitial lung diseases. The macrophages of the lung arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Several populations of macrophages reside in the normal healthy lung: alveolar, interstitial, airway and intravascular macrophages, dendritic cells, and monocytes. The pulmonary macrophage plays a central role in the homeostasis of the lung. Under normal resting conditions it protects against the daily burden of inhaled particulates, microbes, and cellular debris without triggering an inflammatory or immune response that could injure the lung. When challenged by virulent infectious agents, the macrophage is a first line of defense, a sentinel that calls forth additional immune inflammatory resources, and when activated it is an effective participant in microbial killing. Its potent degradative enzymes, inflammatory cytokines, and mediators that signal fibroblast growth and collagen production appear to be key elements in a wide variety of environmental and idiopathic lung diseases.

"text": "Lymphocytes, Monocytes-Macrophages, and Microglia The brain contains very few lymphocytes compared to other organs that do not have a vascular-tissue barrier. However, even in absence of pathology, a few T-lymphocytes regularly cross the intact blood brain barrier, wander in brain tissue for short distances, and re-enter the circulation. Activation of T-lymphocytes as a result of nonspecific infections greatly enhances their ability to randomly cross the blood-brain barrier. Recognition of antigens in CNS parenchyma results in retention and recruitment of T-lymphocytes, leading to inflammation. B-lymphocytes probably also randomly traffic through the brain in a similar fashion and, if they find specific antigens, they aggregate and produce Ig G antibodies. Neuronophagia Microglial nodule The brain contains two sets of monocyte-macrophage cells, parenchymal microglial cells and blood-borne monocytes . The parenchymal microglial cells are mesodermally derived cells which enter the brain early in gestation. They comprise approximately 12% of cells in the brain and are more abundant in gray matter. Their first function is to phagocytose neurons that undergo programmed death during development. In the mature brain, they are a very stable and long-lived cell population and are replenished from bone marrow cells at a very low rate."

"text": "\"Macrophages are a type of white blood cell which eat foreign material in the body. These cells are involved in the primary or innate immune response to a number of immune invaders, and they also make up an important part of the body's acquired immune system. At any given time, these cells are at work in many corners of the body, quietly cleaning up foreign debris, bacteria, and viruses before they have a chance to cause a problem. Like other blood cells, these blood cells start out in the bone marrow. The life cycle of these cells actually starts with a type of cell called a monocyte, which has the capability to mature into a macrophage when it is stimulated to do so. Some monocytes drift to specific areas of the body, such as the liver, where they mature into specialized macrophages which remain in place, while others turn into free-floating macrophages. In a sense, these cells are like security guards for the immune system. Some of them remain stationed at their regular \"\"desks\"\" near areas where foreign material commonly enters the body, routinely screening the materials which pass them to look for things which could be dangerous. Others roam on patrol, looking for intruders who may have slipped past other guards. When a macrophage encounters something which it thinks might be dangerous, it will engulf it and create enzymes to neutralize it so that it cannot continue replicating in the body."

"text": "Twins are siblings who are the result of a single pregnancy. They can be either monozygotic or dizygotic. The main difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins is that monozygotic twins originate from a single zygote — or fertilized egg — and dizygotic twins come from two zygotes. Monozygotic twins are also called identical twins or maternal twins, and dizygotic twins are also called fraternal twins. Another difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins is how common they are; about 30 percent of twins are monozygotic, and the other 70 percent are dizygotic. Similarity Between Twins The degree of similarity between the twins is another difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Monozygotic twins are referred to as identical twins, but they are not perfectly identical, although they can be very similar. It is believed that the further into the pregnancy the zygote divides into two — usually within 12 days — the more similar the twins will be. Dizygotic twins, because they result from two eggs and two sperm, are only as similar as any other pairs of siblings. Ad DNAIt once was thought that monozygotic twins had identical DNA, and any differences were caused by environmental factors, but research in the early 21st century found this to be untrue."

There are basically two types of twins, defined by their genetic relationship: identical twins (monozygotic twins) and fraternal twins (dizygotic twins). Contents: Identical (Monozygotic) Twins Fraternal (Dizygotic) Twins Monozygotic vs. Dizygotic Twins Identical (Monozygotic) Twins Identical Twins (Flickr: evilpeacock)Identical twins came from a single egg that split into two. They’re genetically identical and (obviously) always the same gender. Early first trimester ultrasound scan can identify approximately two-thirds of monozygotic twins. Our own twins were mis-diagnosed at a second-trimester ultrasound as identical (they weren’t). This type of twins is rare, comprising less than 1% of pregnancies in the United States. The chance of having identical twins is double for couples undergoing assistive reproductive procedures, though it’s not clear why. Because they share a genetic profile and usually grow up together, identical twins are often sought for twin studies in the psychiatric and biomedical fields. Obviously, though genetically identical, they are unique individuals with different personalities and occasionally differences in appearance or disease susceptibility."

"text": "Genetics, Student features February 9, 2007Why psychologists study twins In the second of our on-going series of guest features for psychology students, Dr. Angelica Ronald of London’s Institute of Psychiatry describes the use of twin studies in psychology. Psychologists are often trying to control one thing to look at its effect on something else. This results in the plethora of artificial experiments and carefully-matched control groups in psychological studies. The beauty of twin studies is that they provide psychologists with a natural experimental design – there’s no need for any additional control groups. This natural design comes about because there are two types of twins: those who share all their genes (because they were formed from the same egg which split early on in development), called identical or monozygotic twins, and those who, just like non-twin siblings, share on average half their genes (they are formed from two separate eggs), called fraternal or dizygotic twins. Twin designs address the nature-nurture question. Behaviour geneticists compare how alike one twin is with the other twin on whatever variable they are interested in; in my case this is autistic behaviours. If genes influence variation in autistic behaviours, identical twin pairs who share all their genes will be highly similar in their degree of autistic behaviours whereas fraternal twins will be much less similar. This is what we have found. It’s the same for a diagnosis of autism: when one identical twin has autism, in 60 per cent of cases their co-twin also has autism."

April 6, 2013By tibsar, Ringwood, NJMore by this author Email me when tibsar contributes work Image Credit: Ryan P., Greenwood Village, COThe author's comments: This piece was written to prove that twin telepathy does in fact exist. 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."

A Study In Identical Twins Melissa Teicher Everyone has either suffered from some kind of allergy, or knows somebody who has suffered from allergies. Allergies are the source of irritating symptoms, ranging from a painless skin rash to life-threatening breathing problems. For years, researchers have been trying to find out the source of these allergies. Some have suggested that environmental factors or early exposure to certain foods can cause allergies later in life, while others say that allergies are caused by genetics. To test the latter theory, many researchers study identical twins to see if sets of twins share allergies. If both twins were to share a particular allergy, than this may prove that allergies are genetic."

Submitted by asavannah on Wed, 11/14/2007 - 12:39am Biology 103 Web Paper 2 biology Have you ever wondered where you get your physical or behavioral traits from? Well I have and I decided to do more research on this topic which is what this paper would be about. I am going to discuss the difference between nature versus nurture and whether one or the other has a greater impact on the way an individual behaves. This topic also became of interest to me when I decided to focus more on the study of identical twins who have the same genetic make up but not necessarily the same interests. The idea of nature versus nurture has been puzzling to scientists for a very long time. “ Nature” the idea that was viewed by most people in the beginning of the twentieth century, states that a person’s behavior comes from their genetic traits and that the environment has absolutely no affect on their life. “ Nurture” on the other hand is the idea that a person will develop their behavior from outside environmental factors and not necessarily from genetics. The study of nature versus nurture is usually tested on identical twins. Identical twins are also called monozygotic twins; which means that they derived from the fertilization of one egg by a single sperm which then created a zygote that was split into two embryos."

Building and reading a pedigree is actually fairly easy if you know what the symbols mean. In fact, it's so easy that you can learn how to do it in less than ten minutes if you watch this video!What is a Pedigree? As you may recall, pedigrees are charts of family histories that show the phenotypes and family relationships of the individuals. Doctors and scientists have used pedigrees to study human genetics long before the technology existed to sequence DNA. The concept is actually pretty simple. A family history is taken and a family tree is constructed. Family members that have the trait of interest are marked, which allows the investigator to follow the trait through the family and determine the pattern of inheritance. Pedigrees use a standardized set of basic shapes to convey information and don't require writing. This means that pedigrees do not rely on any single language and are readable by anyone who knows what the symbols mean."

"text": "This article will provide you with the ins and outs of cord blood and tissue banking when you’re expecting twins and let you know about the special issues involved in making the decision where to bank your babies’ umbilical cords. Cord blood banking is a process of collecting potentially life-saving stem cells from the umbilical cords and placentas and storing them for future use. It has nothing to do with collecting cells from embryos. Since stem are immature, they can assume the form of other cells and can treat diseases, such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, and many immune system disorders. Cord blood is also one of three sources of blood-forming cells used in transplant operations (for children and adults). Bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are the other two sources. Do twins have the same blood and same DNA? The first question most parents-to-be ask are: Is the blood and DNA from my twins the same? In most cases, the answer is no. If the twins are fraternal (dizygotic), then like any other siblings, they will have different blood and DNA because they came from a different egg and sperm."

The prospective study included 80,309 monozygotic and 123,382 same-sex dizygotic twin individuals (N=203,691) within the population-based registers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The researchers followed the twins for a median of 32 years between 1943 and 2010. Within the study group, 50 990 individual persons died of any cause, and 3804 emigrated and were lost to follow-up. The researchers used time-to-event analyses to estimate risk of cancer in a person given a twin's diagnosis of cancer (familial risk) and the proportion of variance in cancer risk due to interindividual genetic differences (heritability). Follow-up was via cancer registries. Study findings showed 27 156 incident cancers diagnosed in 23 980 individuals; this translates to a 32% cumulative incidence of cancer. Cancer diagnoses were made in both twins in 1383 monozygotic pairs and 1933 dizygotic pairs, with diagnoses of the same cancer type in 38% of monozygotic and 26% of dizygotic pairs. Excess cancer risk was seen in twins whose co-twin had a cancer diagnosis, with estimated cumulative risks being an absolute 5% higher in dizygotic twins and an absolute 14% higher in monozygotic twins whose twin also developed cancer compared with the cumulative risk in the overall cohort (32%)."

Twins account for over 90 per cent of multiple births. There are two types of twins – identical (monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic). To form identical twins, one fertilised egg (ovum) splits and develops two babies with exactly the same genetic information. This differs from fraternal twins, where two eggs (ova) are fertilised by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children, who are no more alike than individual siblings born at different times. Twins are more or less equally likely to be female or male. Contrary to popular belief, the incidence of twins doesn’t skip generations. Factors that increase the odds of having twins Some women are more likely than others to give birth to twins. The factors that increase the odds include: Advancing age of the mother – women in their 30s and 40s have higher levels of the sex hormone oestrogen than younger women, which means that their ovaries are stimulated to produce more than one egg at a time. Number of previous pregnancies – the greater the number of pregnancies a woman has already had, the higher her odds of conceiving twins."

"text": "Sociological and Environmental Factorsof Criminal Behavior A debate that continues to spawn controversy in many scientific disciplines is on the topic of heredity and the influence genetics has on the overall character of a human being. More commonly referred to as the ‘Nature versus Nurture’ debate, scientists as well as the average citizen are intrigued as to what determinants shape personal character as well as individual behavior. There are several factors that impact an individual’s destiny and through various studies, explanations, and theoretical models it becomes very apparent that one isolatable factor is nearly impossible to distinguish. It is widely accepted that the model for the development of human behavior is extremely fluid and effected by several factors, not just genes or environmental factors alone but in fact an interaction between the two. There are several important theories that do not advocate the influence of heredity or environmental factors over one another but in fact display the importance of their interaction in determining an individual’s behavior. An individual’s genetic disposition is important in that it lays down a fundamental framework that can be a guide for propensities of certain courses of action. It is a fact that someone may be born with the disposition for a higher than average intelligence but environmental factors play a tremendous role in how this trait would be expressed. If an individual were to grow up in an environment that fostered the pursuit of academic interests, this intellect trait would have the ability for increased expression rather than if the individual were in an environment that placed little value on learning. This can in turn relate to criminal behavior and social deviance. Various developmental and sociological factors play a role in an individual’s inclination towards exhibiting criminal behavior."

Most eukaryotes have two matching sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. Diploid organisms have the same loci on each of their two sets of homologous chromosomes except that the sequences at these loci may differ between the two chromosomes in a matching pair and that a few chromosomes may be mismatched as part of a chromosomal sex-determination system. If both alleles of a diploid organism are the same, the organism is homozygous at that locus. If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus. If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and, if both alleles are missing, it is nullizygous. The DNA sequence of a gene often varies from one individual to another. Those variations are called alleles. While some genes have only one allele because there is low variation, others have only one allele because deviation from that allele can be harmful or fatal.

According to epigenetic theory, traits that have been acquired by non-genetic means during an organism's lifetime can be passed down to the next generation. What is going on? What is the Definition of Epigenetics? Epigenetics can be defined as any change in gene expression which has been caused by means other than changes to the underlying DNA. These epigenetic changes remain during subsequent cell divisions and can be passed down through subsequent generations. It is a burgeoning scientific field that is overturning much of what we thought we knew about inheritance. DNA is still of course the big player, but it is not the only mechanism of inheritance in town. And the more that scientists look at epigenetic changes to genes, the more they realise that there is a lot of it going on, much more than previously thought, and that epigenetic changes also contribute to some disease processes. Evidence of Epigenetic Modification There is plenty of evidence that demonstrates how epigenetic changes (and not changes in the DNA of a gene) have been passed on to the next generation."

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. Dizygotic twins (often referred to as fraternal), are the result of two eggs fertilized by two separate sperm."

"text": "Fraternal and identical twins have many differences. Identical twins are often described as those children resulting from a pregnancy that are identical to each other. Actually, more than resemblance is involved, and not all identical twins look “completely” alike, though they do share many of the same physical characteristics. As they age, they will have differences based on lifestyle choices, experiences, and a variety of other factors. Fraternal twins, though sharing a womb, have fewer commonalities, and both types of twins are most identified by how they begin life. Most commonly, the way twins first begin life can be referred to as dizygotic and monozygotic. Dizygotic, or fraternal twins, result when a woman has two ova or eggs fertilized by two separate sperm. This can mean that fraternal twins are of different or the same gender. Though they are siblings, they do not share near identical genetic material. Within each sperm or ova, there is variance in what gets inherited and expressed, and these children are as alike as siblings, which can be very alike or unlike."

Erickson believed a child had three key stages of the development, and each required special needs for the child. The first was basic trust versus basic mistrust, and necessitated consistent and caring adults who provide a safe environment. Second is initiative versus guilt and requires a safe environment where they are allowed to make choices. Third is industry versus inferiority which needs encouraging adults who will allow them to develop and create their own ideas. Many of Montessori and Erickson's beliefs were similar, since Erickson was a certified Montessori teacher. The only difference is the 'encouraging adults,' which Maria Montessori believed could be a detriment since they could break the important concentration children need in their learning process. She was against both criticism as well as praise since it served to break that concentration.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Responsiveness is critical Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt (1-3 years) Children must learn to assert their wills and do things for themselves; or they will doubt their abilities Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years) Children develop initiative that allow them to plan and tackle big projects, but without impinging the rights of others Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years) Children must become as social and academic as their peers, or they will feel inferior 1902-1994 Neo-Freudian psychoanalytic theory Less emphasis on sexual urges More emphasis on social influences Less emphasis on unconscious More emphasis on adult development One of his most famous theories was his idea of three components of personality Id, Ego, Superego Impulsive, irrational, and selfish Seeks immediate gratification Most infants are id Only want pleasure Absent of moral and ethical behavior Ego Rational side of personality Cognitive processes Problem solving Perception Learning Realistic way of gratification Superego Moral standards Develops from ego at ages 3-6 Internal voice that set societies rules Guilt and shame control behavior Finds socially acceptable solutions Freud's view on personality development suggest that the id, ego, and superego are constantly fighting. This creates a balance that forms your personality Another major idea that Freud developed was his psychosexual theory. This theory suggest that development is mostly biological; or nature, as opposed to nurture. Psychosexual Development There are 5 psychosexual stages that are split up by age Oral Stage (Birth-1 year) In this stage, libido (psychic energy of sex instinct) is focused on the mouth as a source of pleasure. It is important to find oral gratification from the mother."

One morning last September, my husband dragged himself out of bed at 5 a.m. and rode his bike to a nearby preschool. The moonlit block was empty but for the first seeds of a sleepy line forming outside the school’s doors—he was the sixth person to join it. By 8 a.m., the line stretched all the way down the block and disappeared around the corner.

His father abandoned his mother before he was even born, and a year later his mother married Dr. Theodor Homberger. Although he was provided for as a child, he did not have the best experiences because children at school constantly picked on him and alienated him. Erikson studied psychoanalysis from Anna Freud and graduated from the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. In 1933, he moved to the United States to pursue a teaching position at Harvard Medical School. During his time in the United States, he taught at many different universities and had a private practice in child psychoanalysis. Erikson became the first child analyst in the Boston area and worked for both the University of california at Berkeley and Stanford University.

Although his best-known work is the now classic Childhood and Society (1950), additional facets of his theory were elaborated in such works as Identity: Youth and Crisis (1968) and Young Man Luther (1958). Gandhi's Truth (1969), which focused more on his theory as applied to later phases in the life cycle, garnered Erikson the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Although highly original, Erikson's work shows heavy influences from the work of Sigmund and Anna Freud, as well as from the field of cultural anthropology. Erik Erikson was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 15, 1902 to Karla Abrahamsen, a young Jewish woman. Although married, she was living her family at the time of the birth, having moved in after leaving her husband, Valdemar Salomonsen. A Jewish stockbroker, Salomonsen had fled the country four years earlier in connection with fraud and criminal ties. Karla Abrahamsen had engaged in an extramarital affair in his absence and become pregnant. She never disclosed the specific identity of her son's biological father, merely that he was of Danish extraction. She listed her son's surname as \"\"Salomonsen\"\"."

The Purpose of Sensorial Work The purpose and aim of Sensorial work is for the child to acquire clear, conscious, information and to be able to then make classifications in his environment. Montessori believed that sensorial experiences began at birth. Through his senses, the child studies his environment. Through this study, the child then begins to understand his environment. The child, to Montessori, is a “sensorial explorer”. Through work with the sensorial materials, the child is given the keys to classifying the things around him, which leads to the child making his own experiences in his environment. Through the classification, the child is also offered the first steps in organizing his intelligence, which then leads to his adapting to his environment. Exercise Groups Sensorial Exercises were designed by Montessori to cover every quality that can be perceived by the senses such as size, shape, composition, texture, loudness or softness, matching, weight, temperature, etc."

Early Life Erik Erikson was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1902. Erikson never knew his own father; he was raised by his mother and stepfather, who married in 1905. He struggled with his identity throughout his youth as he felt his stepfather never fully accepted him as he did his own daughters. Erikson grew up using his stepfather’s surname; he eventually adopted the name Erikson in 1939. After meeting Anna Freud while working in Vienna, Erikson decided to pursue the field of psychoanalysis. He studied child development at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute through the Montessori method, which focused on psychosexual and developmental stages. Erikson received a diploma from the institute, but he never received a formal degree. Instead, his knowledge was based upon his experiences and extensive reading. Erikson married Joan Serson, a dancer and artist, in 1930, who helped him to develop his psychosocial development theory."

Some consider Erikson to be the first European to reach America—and over a century ago, there was a push to recognize him over Columbus. A statue of Leif Erikson, the Viking thought to have sailed to the Americas 500 years before Columbus, guards the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavík, Iceland. Photograph by Arctic-Images, Corbis By Becky Little PUBLISHED October 11, 2015What’s Spongebob Squarepants’s favorite holiday, besides April Fools’ Day? Unless you’re really into Vikings, you probably missed it. October 9 is Leif Erikson Day, a United States holiday that honors the Icelandic explorer who some believe was the first European to reach North America. Leif Erikson Day doesn’t get as much recognition because it’s overshadowed by Monday’s Columbus Day—which, unlike Erikson’s day, is a federal holiday, meaning government employees get off work, as do many students and private-sector workers. Christopher Columbus and his holiday are controversial today largely because of the way he and subsequent European explorers and settlers treated Native Americans. For years, there have been campaigns to celebrate an indigenous people's day. But in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people had a different problem with Columbus: They argued that the real credit for discovering North America should go to Erikson, who they believed arrived 500 years before Columbus."

"text": "\"Identity crisis, according to psychologist Erik Erikson, is the failure to achieve ego identity during adolescence. [ 1] [2] Erikson coined the term. The stage of psychosocial development in which identity crisis may occur is called the Identity Cohesion versus Role Confusion stage. During this stage (adolescence), we are faced with physical growth, sexual maturation, and integrating our ideas of ourselves and about what others think of us. [ 3] We therefore form our self-image and endure the task of resolving the crisis of our basic ego identity. Successful resolution of the crisis depends on one’s progress through previous developmental stages, centering on issues such as trust, autonomy, and initiative. [ 4] Those who emerge from the adolescent stage of personality development with a strong sense of identity are well equipped to face adulthood with confidence and certainty. This sort of unresolved crisis leaves individuals struggling to “find themselves.” They may go on to seek a negative identity, which may involve crime or drugs or the inability to make defining choices about the future. “ The basic strength that should develop during adolescence is fideli ty, which emerges from a cohesive ego identity”.

"text": "Erik Erikson Since Erikson Institute’s founding, we have been committed to preparing a new kind of early childhood practitioner, one with a deep understanding of child development. To reflect this unique approach, the school was renamed in 1969 for renowned psychoanalyst Erik H. Erikson, a former colleague of Erikson Institute co-founder Maria Piers. He was the first to propose that children are not simply biological organisms but also products of society’s expectations, prejudices, and prohibitions. About Erik Erikson One of the most influential psychoanalysts of the 20th century, Erik Erikson was born in 1902 in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany. After completing high school, he moved to Florence to pursue his interest in art, and in 1927 became an art teacher at a psychoanalytically enlightened school for children started by Dorothy Burlingham and Anna Freud in Vienna. The move changed his life and career. He earned a certificate from the Maria Montessori School, then embarked on psychoanalytic training at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute. By 1936, he had joined the Institute of Human Relations, part of the department of psychiatry at Yale University. Erikson’s legacy Erikson’s best-known work is his theory that each stage of life is associated with a specific psychological struggle, a struggle that contributes to a major aspect of personality. His developmental progression — from trust to autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity — was conceived as the sequential reorganization of ego and character structures."

Over the years Erikson's clinical work and studies have been based either on children, students, victims of the World War two, civil rights workers, and American Indians.

One's personal, physical and emotional development is cumulative. The nature of experiences and development during each state of the life-span will have an impact on how subsequent stages are experienced for better or for worse. The following is a concise overview of the changes and normative patterns relating to the life-span. Thus, the discussion will provide a brief examination of each phase, including the prenatal, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood and late adulthood stages. This will contribute to a general understanding of the way that experiences, exposures and environments will impact one throughout one's life. Introduction The process of human development is assessed according to multiple phases, each of which carries its own distinct set of expectations in terms of emotional growth, psychological development, physical maturation and social awareness. With each phase will also come a distinct set of life cycle considerations and a set of both socially and self-imposed pressures to participate in certain rites and elements of the life cycle."

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Erikson was an ego psychologist whose works were inspired by Freud seen as in how he also believed that personality is developed in a series of stages. However, he chose to focus on psychosocial growth as opposed to psychosexual development. In theory, he describes the impact of socialization across the entire lifespan, and how this interaction and relationships complemented growth and development (Erikson, 1963). He also focuses on ego identity development and how it changes according to new information, experiences, and interactions with others. The development process is further discussed below: Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth – 1 year)He states this period as the most fundamental one in life. An infant depends entirely on its caregivers and develops trust according to the quality of care given. It is dependent on the caregiver for basic needs, safety and nurturing (Erikson, 1963). Without proper care, the child loses the ability to trust or depend on the adults in his or her life, and eventually everyone else in life."

All stages are present at birth, but only begin to unfold according to both a natural scheme and one's ecological and cultural upbringing. In each stage, the person confronts, and hopefully masters, new challenges. Each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages. The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to return as problems in the future. However, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage. The outcome of one stage is not permanent and can be modified by later experiences. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological forces and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces (as shown in the table below). If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned attribute in the crisis), he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue."

Presenter: Clarence Slockee, 18/09/2010SERIES 21 Episode 30 Worldwide, there are 750 species of Ficus and about 45 native species in Australia. Figs are unique in that the flower is enclosed inside the fruit. If you break a fig open you will notice hundreds of florets. These tiny flowers need to be pollinated and figs have developed a unique relationship with particular species of wasps. Figs are only pollinated by fig wasps and they, in turn, can only reproduce inside fig flowers. For most species of fig there is only one species of wasp that will pollinate it. When the female wasp has been impregnated by the male she flies off to another fig tree, carrying pollen from the original fruit. An interesting adaptation of fig trees is the aerial roots. Fig trees often grow in nutritionally-depleted soil, or begin their life by germinating in rocky crevices. Aerial roots grow down from branches and take up nutrients and moisture from the air."

Just last Saturday at the Farmer’s Market there were boxes and boxes of delicious, fresh figs available to eat out of hand or, in my favorite way, cut in half and grilled until soft and succulent. Yummy!The fig has been cultivated since earliest times. Apart from its value as a food tree, it was regarded as sacred by many people. The ancient Hebrews looked upon the fig tree as a symbol of peace and plenty. Mohammed’s followers called it the \"\"Tree of Heaven.\"\" The old Romans sacrificed the milky sap of the wild fig tree to Juno, and some central African tribes built huts for the spirits of their ancestors in the shape of the sacred fig trees. The fig is the first tree mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 3:7). Figs epitomize the Mediterranean, its climate, its food, its way of life. The fig is not particularly refreshing, nor does it have a very strong flavor, but it is a fruit to be eaten slowly and savored, from the luscious mouthfuls of soft, pink flesh to the tiniest edible seeds."

They can be bought as frozen meat or whole, to be eaten on their own as an entrÈe, or as part of a main dish. They are best prepared by poaching, steaming, barbecuing or grilling. As bugs provide good presentation and marry well with other seafood, they are excellent for cold seafood platters served with a light lemon mayonnaise, aioli or dill vinaigrette. When cut down the centre lengthways, bugs will grill and barbecue beautifully over a high heat. They are superb served on their own, with the above-mentioned dressings or pesto, or as a warm salad with fresh asparagus and parmesan. To prevent discolouration of the flesh, sprinkle with a little lemon or lime. The flesh of the bug is an ideal, flavoursome filling for meats, such as an alternative in carpetbag steak or with veal, asparagus and hollandaise (the veal oscar). Bug meat is also an appetising additive to fish cakes served with sweet chilli coriander.

"text": "\"Home » Trees How to Identify a Ficus By Sarah Terry; Updated September 21, 2017Although more than 800 species belong to the Ficus genus, referred to as the fig group, most individuals will encounter only a handful of these species. Some Ficus species are trees, some are vines and others are shrubs. Ficus trees are popular houseplants prized for their attractive foliage. The Ficus species are also the most popular bonsai trees, because nearly all Ficus trees withstand hard pruning and can be reduced or shaped to smaller sizes. Spot the common fig tree (Ficus carica) by looking for its edible fig fruits and extremely large, bright-green, lobed leaves. The common fig is one of the few deciduous Ficus trees and has smooth gray bark. Identify the weeping fig tree (F. benjamina) by its weeping form, its smooth, gray bark and oval, large, leathery leaves, which are usually bright green but can be grayish-green or yellowish depending on the cultivated variety. The weeping fig is the most popular indoor Ficus tree and includes such cultivars as Florida Spire, Golden Princess, Golden King, Jacqueline, Spearmint and Wintergreen. Look for leaves that are the same size as the weeping fig but that grow on stiffer branches instead of weeping ones to identify the Ficus retusa \"\"Nitida.\"\" Another cultivar, F. retusa \"\"Green Gem,\"\" resembles Nitida but has coarser leaves and tends to grow more symmetrically."

Its suitability for fishing, farming, timbering, and other occupations, however, caused it to be opened to free settlement in 1838. The town became a municipality in 1859 and a consolidated metropolitan area in 1924. Brisbane encountered major flooding disasters in 1893, 1974 and 2011.

Fats and carbohydrates are also present. The proteins occur as small granules in the same cells with the starch grains. The high protein content is related to the presence on the roots of many legumes tubercles that hold nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria are able to convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates. This augments the nitrogenous material available for the plants. The legumes belong to the family Leguminosae, which is noted for having a special kind of fruit, a legume, which is a pod that opens along two sutures when the seeds are ripe. Over 11,000 species of legumes are known, and many are of importance as industrial, medicinal or food plants. They have been cultivated and used for food for centuries worldwide."

There are about 850 species of Ficus in this genus, most types are comprised of trees, however some species of Figs exhibit shrub, vine, epiphyte, and hemiepiphyte growth types. Ficus is a pan-tropical genus of trees, shrubs and vines, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi warm temperate zones. Fig tree species occupy a wide variety of ecological niches, mostly specific rainforest canopy niches. Most Ficus species are evergreen, but some are deciduous and are endemic to areas outside of the tropics, however some deciduous species are endemic in higher elevations within the tropics. The most well known species of the Ficus genus is the Common Fig ( Ficus carica) which is a small temperate deciduous tree native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region. The Common Fig has been widely cultivated since ancient times for its fruit, also commonly referred to and known as Figs. Other well known Fig species are;Weeping Fig ( Ficus benjamina) that has a hemiepiphyte growth habit with thin tough leaves on pendulous stalks. Creeping Fig or Sandpaper Fig ( Ficus pumila) that has a vine growth habit, with small, hard, rough leaves that form a dense carpet of foliage that creeps over rocky landscapes or garden walls.

"text": "Page contents Symptoms of Morton's neuroma When to seek medical advice What causes Morton's neuroma? Treating Morton's neuroma Morton's neuroma is a painful foot condition that affects one of the nerves between the toes. It's also known as Morton's metatarsalgia or interdigital neuroma. In Morton's neuroma, a nerve in the foot becomes irritated and thickened, which can cause severe pain. The condition can occur in one foot or both feet. It usually affects the nerve between the third and fourth toes, but sometimes the second and third toes are affected. Morton's neuroma can occur at any age, but most often affects middle-aged women. This may be because women tend to wear tight or high-heeled shoes that can put pressure on the feet. It's also increasingly seen in runners, possibly because of the increased pressure on the toes that occurs when running. Symptoms of Morton's neuroma You may initially experience a tingling sensation in the space between your toes, which gets worse over time."

"text": "\"Foot Pain In-Depth Report Background Foot pain is very common. About 75% of people in the United States have foot pain at some time in their lives. Most foot pain is caused by shoes that do not fit properly or that force the feet into unnatural shapes (such as pointed-toe, high-heeled shoes). The foot is a complex structure of 26 bones and 33 joints, layered with an intertwining web of more than 120 muscles, ligaments, and nerves. It serves the following functions: Supports weight Acts as a shock absorber Serves as a lever to propel the leg forward Helps maintain balance by adjusting the body to uneven surfaces Because the feet are very small compared with the rest of the body, the impact of each step exerts tremendous force upon them. This force is about 50% greater than the person's body weight. During a typical day, people spend about 4 hours on their feet and take 8,000 - 10,000 steps. This means that the feet support a combined force equivalent to several hundred tons every day. Foot Problems and Their Locations Foot pain generally starts in one of three places: the toes, the forefoot, or the hindfoot. The Toes."

The nerves in this area (between the toes) become painful and inflamed. What Are The Symptoms Of Neuroma Patients with neuroma may develop pain on the bottom of the forefoot, most commonly under the 3rd and 4th toes, though any toe may be affected. The pain may be dull and mild or severe and sharp. The toes may feel ‘numb’ as times, especially the area between the 3rd and 4th toes. A classic complaint is that patients feel as if they are “walking on a stone or pebble” and/or “feel as if the sock is rolled up in the shoe.” Pain is often worse when walking barefoot. Causes of Neuroma There are many reasons to develop a neuroma. Improper shoe gear is probably the most likely cause."

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

Morton’s neuromas are neuromas that develop between your third and fourth metatarsal bones and your toes. If a neuroma develops between any of your other metatarsal bones, it is called a neuroma, not Morton’s neuroma. Medical terms, including neuroma, can often be understood by breaking them into their component parts. “ Neur” or “neuro” means nerve, and “oma” means swelling or tumor.

Morton's neuroma involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes. This can cause a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot.

However, not all pain in the forefoot is a Morton's neuroma. In fact, most chronic pain in the forefoot is NOT the result of a Morton's neuroma, but rather is from inflammation (synovitis) of the \"\"toe/foot\"\" joints. The symptoms of Morton's neuroma are due to irritation of one or more of the small nerves, just before they travel into the toes (Figure 1). The symptoms of a Morton's neuroma include pain, numbness (usually between the toes) and sometimes a burning sensation. Figure 1: Location of Nerve (between the base of the 2nd and 3rd toes)In many cases, a neuroma may develop as a result of excessive loading on the front of the foot. Such a loading for example can occur in those who regularly wear high heels with a narrow toe box. Sometimes, a patient’s anatomic alignment in the forefoot contributes to the overload. There may be some cases where the neuroma develops spontaneously, for no obvious reason."

Other causes include the following: Wearing shoes with a toe box that is too tight, which can compress the toes and forefoot. Wearing high-heeled shoes, which force the forefoot into too tight a toe box and increases pressure on the forefoot. Any repetitive impact or trauma to the forefoot, especially from court or racket sports and running.

"text": "Email this page Home » Foot and Ankle Conditions » Nerve Problems (Pathology)Nerve Problems (Pathology)Morton’s Neuroma In the foot, there are the long bones (metatarsals) and thin nerves running between them. The nerves split in a Y-shape when they reach the toes. If the metatarsals move abnormally, they can pinch the nerve between them, which causes inflammation and, eventually, permanent nerve damage. Morton’s neuroma is the most common of this type and affects the nerve between the third and fourth toes. Click here to read more about Morton’s Neuroma»Other Neuromas A neuroma is a painful swelling of a nerve, usually in the ball or heel of the foot. Neuromas may occur after a nerve has been injured, either from a traumatic wound or from damage suffered during surgery. Symptoms include sporadic pain; burning, tingling or numbness of one or more toes; and a popping sensation when walking. Pain is often soothed by taking weight off the foot or by massaging the area. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition classified by chronic pain in the ankle, foot and toes caused by abnormal pressure on nerve roots. It is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist and hand, but is not as common."

"text": "Post-surgical Pain, Stump Neuromas and Morton’s Neuroma Revision Surgery What is the Cause of Pain After Morton’s Neuroma Surgery? ( post neurectomy pain)Some studies have shown that up to 35% of patients who have had Morton’s neuroma surgery end up with unacceptable levels of post surgical pain, also known as “post neurectomy pain”. The exact cause of pain after Morton’s neuroma surgery can often be difficult to determine. It can even be difficult to localize the exact location of the pain after surgery. The pain can be the result of an incorrect initial diagnosis, inadequate surgical resection, or the occurrence of a stump neuroma. Post Morton’s neuroma surgery (or post inter-metatarsal neuroma surgery) pain is usually due to a stump neuroma combined with nerve entrapment within the scar tissue that develops during postoperative healing. Post-surgical pain can also be due to nerve degradation or just plain scar tissue formation or rarely, another post surgical complication. Some authors speculate that disruption of the plantar fat pad during surgery may contribute to post Morton’s neuroma surgery pain. How Soon After Surgery do Stump Neuromas Develop? Post surgical pain usually becomes apparent between three and eight weeks postoperatively, or it may develop after months, or even years of a seemingly successful surgical intervention."

A new study says 88,000 Americans die each year of alcohol-related causes. ( Jay Janner / Austin American-Statesman)Karen Kaplan Alcohol is responsible for about 88,000 deaths in the U. S. each year, according to a new government report on the toll of excessive drinking. The study, published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, comes as police investigate an alleged drunk driver who struck and killed two people early Thursday morning at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. Another 23 people were injured after the driver went the wrong way on a one-way street in an apparent attempt to evade an officer who had pulled him over. Austin police Chief Art Acevedo said officials planned to charge the driver with two counts of capital murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault. The CDC report calculated that fatalities due to drunk drivers and more than 50 other alcohol-related causes of death are responsible for wiping out about 2.5 million years of potential life each year. Americans between 20 and 64 were victims in the majority of alcohol-related deaths, so many of them would have lived for many more years if alcohol hadn’t killed them (either directly or indirectly). The research team, from the CDC and representatives from health departments in 11 states, used information from the CDC’s Alcohol-Related Disease Impact database. The database tracks 54 causes of disease and death that are influenced by alcohol to some degree."

Drinking alcohol changes the mind of the person and does not allow him to do as the body works. The thinking of the person is confused and every drink slows down the reactions of the thought process. The feelings of the person go far away and keep him doing things that are risky and dangerous. This may finally lead to make very bad decisions, like having sex which is not safe or driving at all times though he is aware of it.

Short-term effects of alcohol consumption include intoxication and dehydration. Long-term effects of alcohol consumption include changes in the metabolism of the liver and brain and alcoholism. Alcohol intoxication affects the brain, causing slurred speech, clumsiness, and delayed reflexes. Alcohol stimulates insulin production, which speeds up glucose metabolism and can result in low blood sugar, causing irritability and possibly death for diabetics. [ 1] [ medical citation needed] A 2014 World Health Organization report found that harmful alcohol consumption caused about 3.3 million deaths annually worldwide. [ 2]However, some effects of alcohol consumption are beneficial. Although even moderate alcohol consumption increased the risk of death in younger people, it has been shown to decrease the risk of death for individuals ages 55+ (due to decreased risk of ischemic heart disease ). [ 3]The median lethal dose of alcohol in test animals is a blood alcohol content of 0.45%. This is about six times the level of ordinary intoxication (0.08%), but vomiting or unconsciousness may occur much sooner in people who have a low tolerance for alcohol. ["

Or, like others, you may drink moderate amounts of alcohol on a more regular basis. If you are a woman or someone over the age of 65, this means that you have no more than one drink per day; if you are a man, this means that you have no more than two drinks per day. Drinking at these levels usually is not associated with health risks and can help to prevent certain forms of heart disease. But did you know that even moderate drinking, under certain circumstances, is not risk free? And that if you drink at more than moderate levels, you may be putting yourself at risk for serious problems with your health and problems with family, friends, and coworkers? What is a Drink?12 ounces of regular beer (150 calories)5 ounces of wine (100 calories)1 .5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (100 calories) (This limit is based on differences between the sexes in both weight and metabolism. Beer ranges considerably in its alcohol content, with malt liquor being higher in its alcohol content than most other brewed beverages. ) Drinking and Driving It may surprise you to learn that you don't need to drink much alcohol before your ability to drive becomes impaired.

"text": "Alcohol’s role in family violence Posted on December 19, 2016Violence in the home – sometimes fuelled by alcohol (and/or drugs) – is killing our families and producing a generation of children who know little about growing up in safe and secure homes. In 2005, the Police recorded 62,470 instances of family violence. Child, Youth and Family Service data suggests that for every Police notification of children being victims of or witnessing family violence, on average two children are in the household and have the potential to be adversely affected. In 2005, 29 murders were related to family violence. The number of total recorded incidents has doubled from what they were 10 years ago, but that, ironically, might be a positive sign. More cases being reported indicates a lower community tolerance of such crime. The Police also say they have a better system for recording family violence. However, what is still of concern is that it is estimated only about 18 percent of women who experience domestic violence report it to the Police. The number of cases reported could get much higher before they get lower. Recent tragic cases of child abuse resulting in the deaths of young children have focused attention on what factors might contribute to family violence."

Blood alcohol concentration is usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood in units of mass of alcohol per volume of blood or mass of alcohol per mass of blood, depending on the country. For instance, in North America a BAC of 0.1 (0.1% or one tenth of one percent) means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every d L of blood.

The formula is: [2]where :0.806 is a constant for body water in the blood (mean 80.6%),SD is the number of standard drinks, that being 10 grams of ethanol each,1.2 is a factor to convert the amount in grams to Swedish standards set by The Swedish National Institute of Public Health,BW is a body water constant (0.58 for males and 0.49 for females),Wt is body weight (kilogram),MR is the metabolism constant (0.015 for males and 0.017 for females) and DP is the drinking period in hours. [ 2]10 converts the result to permillage of alcohol Regarding metabolism (MR) in the formula; Females demonstrated a higher average rate of elimination (mean, 0.017; range, 0.014–0.021 g/210 L) than males (mean, 0.015; range, 0.013–0.017 g/210 L). Female subjects on average had a higher percentage of body fat (mean, 26.0; range, 16.7–36.8%) than males (mean, 18.0; range, 10.2–25.3%). [ 3] Additionally, men are, on average, heavier than women but it is not strictly accurate to say that the water content of a person alone is responsible for the dissolution of alcohol within the body, because alcohol does dissolve in fatty tissue as well. When it does, a certain amount of alcohol is temporarily taken out of the blood and briefly stored in the fat."

"text": "NIH Fact Sheets Home > Alcohol-Related Traffic Deaths Small Text Medium Text Large Text Alcohol-Related Traffic Deaths YESTERDAYIn the mid 1970s, alcohol was a factor in over 60% of traffic fatalities. Traffic crashes were the leading cause of alcohol-related deaths and two-thirds of traffic deaths among persons aged 16 to 20 involved alcohol. At that time, preventive measures consisted primarily of efforts to reduce harm from alcohol by identifying and treating middle-aged individuals convicted of driving under the influence with established or advanced cases of alcoholism. TODAYSince the early 1980s, alcohol-related traffic deaths per population have been cut in half with the greatest proportional declines among persons 16-20 years old. Reductions in driving after drinking saved more than 150,000 lives between 1982 and 2001 — more than the combined total saved by increases in seat belt use, airbags, and motorcycle and bicycle helmets. Today alcohol is involved in 37% of all traffic deaths among persons aged 16 to 20. Of particular importance for prevention efforts is the recent realization that alcohol abuse, dependence, and related problems such as alcohol-impaired driving must be addressed throughout the lifespan, not just at middle age. Indeed, the evidence now suggests a need to target prevention efforts to young people. Analyses by NIH scientists indicate that over 70% of people in crashes caused by alcohol met alcohol dependence criteria, but most have never been arrested or received treatment. NIH studies revealed that young people who began drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence during their lifetime than those who began drinking at age 21 or later."

Absorption Alcohol is primarily absorbed through the stomach and the small intestines. It is considered a food because it has calories, but does not need to be digested and proceeds directly into the body through the digestive system. After ingestion it is carried through the blood stream and crosses the blood–brain barrier, at which time impairment begins. A greater amount of ingestion causes greater impairment to the brain, which, in turn, causes a person to have a greater degree of difficulty in functioning. B. Metabolism/Elimination The majority of alcohol in the body is eliminated by the liver. Ninety percent is eliminated through the body, while ten percent is eliminated (unchanged) through sweat and urine. Before the liver can process alcohol, a threshold amount is needed and can occur at the rate of one 12 oz. can of beer, one 5 oz. glass of wine, or 1 1/2 oz."

Approximately one out of every three traffic deaths in the United States involves a drunk driver. Representing one death every 51 minutes, nearly 30 people die in traffic accidents involving a drunk driver every single day. With 88,000 alcohol-related deaths every year, alcohol abuse is the third highest cause of death in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drunk drivers got behind the wheel of a car around 112 million times in 2010. This means drunk drivers are probably sharing the US roads with us nearly 307,000 times every day. In this article, I want to seriously convince you of the dangers of drinking and driving.

Education on the effects of alcoholism that result from its use and abuse is one of the best ways to potentially lower the number of individuals who are addicted to and often negatively affected by the drug. It is important that these effects are realized not only by family and friends of those who are dependent on alcohol, but by those who are addicted. An estimated two-thirds of the American population consumes alcohol, but half of all the alcohol consumed in the country is consumed by only 10 percent of drinkers. Alcoholism Statistics in the USMore People Seek Treatment for Alcohol than Any Other Substance Ethanol, or alcohol, is the most common drug of abuse among addiction treatment programs, as Recovery Brands revealed with a 2017 survey. The survey reports that nearly 70% of respondents included drinking among the substance problems they sought treatment for, and a shocking 52.87% of respondents sought the most treatment for alcohol abuse.

Alcohol can have an impact on every body system. How much alcohol a person drinks, genetic factors, gender, body mass, and general state of health all influence how a person's health responds to chronic heavy drinking. However, studies consistently show that, overall, heavy alcohol consumption is detrimental to health and a leading preventable cause of death. When the body takes in more alcohol than it can metabolize, the excess builds up in the bloodstream. The heart circulates the blood alcohol throughout the body, leading to changes in chemistry and normal body functions. Even a single binge-drinking episode can result in significant bodily impairment, damage, or death. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of many chronic diseases and other serious health problems. Alcohol has been found to contribute to at least 60 different health conditions. Let's look at the ten most common effects of heavy drinking."

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.

At the same time, if you’ve been drinking, you’re more likely to take risks. Combined, these reactions increase the chance of accidents happening. How does drinking alcohol lead to depression?

This guidance deals with a number of the most serious offences that directly result from or relate to a driving incident and the way in which a motor vehicle has been driven. The guidance replaces the two previous documents published in 2007 which set out how the CPS would approach driving related incidents: \"\"Guidance on Prosecuting Cases of Bad Driving\"\" and the \"\"Policy for Prosecuting Cases of Bad Driving\"\". We have consolidated, updated and amended these two documents into this latest guidance. The guidance is designed to help prosecutors when charging and reviewing cases. In doing so, it outlines the charging standards and factors for consideration when prosecution decisions are taken. This guidance must always be read in conjunction with the Code for Crown Prosecutors (the Code) when taking prosecution decisions. Application of the Code for Crown Prosecutors Prosecutors are reminded that each individual case must be considered on its own facts and on its own merits when applying the Full Code Test as contained in the Code for Crown Prosecutors (the Code). The Full Code Test has two stages. The first is the consideration of whether there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction against each suspect on each charge (the evidential stage)."

Squamous cells are thin cells found in the most superficial layer of the skin ( epidermis) and other mucous membranes in the body. Cancer cells grow as a mass (tumor) that may also invade other tissues or spread to other parts of the body. SCC is a major type of skin cancer. SCC usually develops on sun-exposed parts of the body, especially the head, neck, hands, and legs, but it may develop elsewhere. Other sites can include the lips, mouth, lung, digestive tract, bladder, anus, and genitals. Early stages of SCC are highly curable with minor surgery. Rarely, SCC spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin to other areas of the body. This form of advanced cancer requires much more extensive treatment. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the predominant cause of skin cancer."

Breast cancer becomes a potential killer when it spreads outside the breast. This spread to other sites occurs when cancer cells break off from the breast tumor. The cells then enter the lymph nodes or bloodstream, where they can reach any part of the body. In a potentially groundbreaking development, researchers from the University of Sheffield and University of Copenhagen have discovered an enzyme that damages bones before the arrival of breast cancer cells. The enzyme, Lys Yl Oxidase (LOX), is released from the primary tumor. LOX creates holes in bones. It acts as a primer, making it easier for cancer cells to take hold. Once cancer reaches bone, it’s called metastatic breast cancer, or stage 4 breast cancer. And it’s a lot harder to treat."

"text": "\"Lymphoma Lymphoma is the name for a group of blood cancers that develop in the lymphatic system. The two main types are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin lymphoma has characteristics that distinguish it from other diseases classified as lymphoma, including the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. These are large, cancerous cells found in Hodgkin lymphoma tissues, named for the scientists who first identified them. Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most curable forms of cancer. NHL represents a diverse group of diseases distinguished by the characteristics of the cancer cells associated with each disease type. Most people with NHL have a B-cell type of NHL (about 85 percent). The others have a T-cell type or an NK-cell type of lymphoma. Some patients with fast-growing NHL can be cured. For patients with slow-growing NHL, treatment may keep the disease in check for many years."

"text": "About Brain Tumors Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells located in the brain, or arising from the coverings of the brain. Tumors are generally separated into two categories: 1) primary brain tumors (those arriving within the head itself) or 2) metastatic tumors (tumors that spread from different areas of the body). Primary brain tumors are differentiated based on the cell type from which they originate, including glial cells (cells that separate and support the central nervous system called astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells), neuronal cells (nerve cells themselves), meningeal cells (cells that line the CNS), or Schwann cells (cells that line peripheral nerves). Most primary brain tumors, specifically astrocytomas, are then further classified in a four stage grading system based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Grading ranges from I (benign and surgically curable) to IV (malignant). Currently, it is unclear as to why brain tumors occur. Although multiple large epidemiologic studies have been undertaken, no specific risk factors for tumor have been elucidated. The risk certainly increases with age, but otherwise no specific environmental or genetic factor has been linked to these tumors. The exception is prior therapeutic radiation, which has been shown to increase the risk of glioma and meningioma formation. Primary brain tumors are diagnosed in about 17,000 patients every year of which 3,500 are in children under the age of 20."

This system - composed of lymph nodes in your neck, armpits, groin, chest, and abdomen - removes excess fluids from your body and produces immune cells. Abnormal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that fights infection, become lymphoma cells, which multiply and collect in your lymph nodes. Over time, these cancerous cells impair your immune system. Lymphomas are divided into two categories: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. About 12 percent of people with lymphoma have Hodgkin lymphoma. Because of breakthrough research, this once fatal diagnosis has been transformed into a curable condition. Most non-Hodgkin lymphomas are B-cell lymphomas, and either grow quickly (high-grade) or slowly (low-grade). There are over a dozen types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The rest are T-cell lymphomas, named after a different cancerous white blood cell, or lymphocyte."

Venook, MDMar 13, 2012Volume: 26Issue: 3Colorectal Cancer, Gastrointestinal Cancer, End-of-Life Care, Oncology Journal It is sometimes easy to forget what the field of cancer therapy used to look like. In an early report on the natural history of 125 patients with isolated metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC), no one received any effective therapy for liver metastases, and most received no therapy at all. [ 1] The median survival of the patients in this series was 12.5 months, and all patients were dead at 5-year follow-up, mostly of causes related to inexorable tumor burden in the liver. Fast forward a few decades—more recent series have reported 5-year survival rates following hepatic resection of CRC metastases as high as 58%. [ 2-4] Acknowledging the limitations of this comparison, it is testimony to the progress that has been made. This is the perspective with which we have read and commented on the article by Bartlett and Chu, focusing on the therapeutic tools and decisions that make cure of metastatic CRC a possibility. Just as the article is a collaboration between a surgeon (Bartlett) and a medical oncologist (Chu), so is the multidisciplinary management that can render selected patients with metastatic CRC disease-free for extended periods. Bartlett and Chu are comprehensive in their review of current standards for management of liver metastases with combinations of surgery and systemic chemotherapy, and there is little substantive to add, with one exception: they neglect to mention hepatic artery infusion (HAI) for locally directed chemotherapy administration as a therapeutic option. This method of delivering higher doses of chemotherapy to an anatomically directed region of the liver, while sparing normal liver tissue, has been studied in multiple trials evaluating its application in neoadjuvant therapy, conversion of hepatic metastases to resectability, and in the adjuvant setting following resection of either synchronous or metachronous liver metastases. [ 5] Two recent Cochrane reviews have demonstrated rates of response to HAI that are superior to fluoropyrimidine-based systemic chemotherapy; however, the few randomized trials that exist have not compared HAI against the combination systemic regimens that are currently the standard of care, and overall survival (OS) benefit has not been consistently demonstrated.

Since most skin cancers are linked to sun exposure, it's important to take precautions when spending time outdoors, no matter what time of year. Too much sun can increase your risk for skin cancer and lead to premature skin aging. Apply sunscreen if you're planning to be in the sun for more than 20 minutes. Make sure to check your skin and see a dermatologist regularly. Stay Safe in the Sun The majority of sun exposure occurs before age 18 and skin cancer can take 20 years or more to develop. Whether your sun bathing days are behind you or you still spend time pursuing the perfect tan, you should be concerned about skin cancer. Remember, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can reflect off water, sand, concrete and snow, and can reach below the water's surface. Certain types of UV light penetrate fog and clouds, so it's possible to get sunburn even on overcast days. Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible during the peak sun hours, generally 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., or seek shade during this part of day."

Larry Hogan (R) has the most common form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which fights disease throughout the body. But even when non-Hodgkin's lymphoma reaches its later stages and has spread, as it has in Hogan, it is often curable because of drugs that have been developed to fight it, experts say. James Rubenstein, a hematologist-oncologist at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, said that, conservatively, half the patients with the disease survive five years. Other experts put the figure somewhat higher. \"\" This still seems to be a curable condition with this type of presentation,\"\" Rubenstein said after hearing Hogan's description of his condition and symptoms. [ Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he has ‘advanced’ form of cancer]The 59-year-old governor can expect a six-month course of therapy with both chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs that most likely will leave him fatigued, cause hair loss and increase his risk of infection, Rubenstein said. Chemotherapeutic drugs target the cancer itself, while immunotherapy attempts to unleash a patient's immune system against the invading disease. The governor might not be able to work full-time as he goes through treatment because of fatigue, Rubenstein said. But some people are able to keep up with their schedules, experts said. Jason Westin, an assistant professor of lymphoma and myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said that an aggressive form of the cancer is actually more treatable than a slower growing form of the disease."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: No, unfortunately they are mostly incurable, but often treatable. About 25% of symptomatic, during life diagnosed brain tumors, arise from meninges:linings of the brain and are called meningiomas -and can be cured by operation , if in accessible location and totally resected. About 50% of brain tumors are gliomas-arising from the support cells around the nerve cells. They are classified according to cell type and degree of malignity. Grade I ,the most benign, which consist of pilocytic astrocytomas and gangliogliomas, can be cured if operated totally away. Some grade II tumors, particularly oligodendrogliomas, will not recur after so called total resection (grade II to grade IV gliomas do not have sharp margins but usually grow more or less in brain tissue). Most grade II tumors and practically all grade III tumors and grade IV tumors grow back after operation+radiation+chemotherapy, either given sequentially or at the same time. Growing back can sometimes take years. Grade IV tumors are called glioblastomas and rarely ever get cured."

The esophagus is the hollow, muscular tube that moves food and liquid from the throat to the stomach. The wall of the esophagus is made up of several layers of tissue, including mucous membrane, muscle, and connective tissue. Esophageal cancer starts at the inside lining of the esophagus and spreads outward through the other layers as it grows. The two most common forms of esophageal cancer are named for the type of cells that become malignant (cancerous): Squamous cell carcinoma: Cancer that forms in squamous cells, the thin, flat cells lining the esophagus.

"text": "The Guide to Lip Blisters with Lip Blisters Pictures Unsightly lip blisters seem to show up at the most inopportune times and while you’d like to ignore them, they can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Many people you speak with may not actually being paying any attention to it but you know it’s there and can’t help feeling that everyone is staring at it. Lips blisters can occur for a number of reasons and most point to some health-related anomaly — any one of a number of issues can make itself known on your lips. For example, maybe you’re allergic to something like ingredients in a skin or makeup product — or, you’ve spent too much time in the sun or tanning bed, you have or are getting a cold, you harbor a disease or have injured your lip. Most of the issues associated with blisters on the lips (looking scary in lip blisters pictures on the internet) resolve on their own in a week or less. Antibiotics or other topical treatments will generally only buy you a day or two in accelerated recovery. How you choose to treat or not treat the blister is generally dictated by your level of anxiety in having it displayed, (which you may perceive) like a neon sign, on your face. Why Your Cold Sore Can Never be Cured There are some blisters on the mouth, however, that come with caveats — meaning that when they’re present, it’s best not to share them with someone else by way of kissing or sharing food utensils. These would be the herpes simplex lip blisters which can be caused by both the oral (HSV-1) AND rarely occurring on the mouth — genital (HSV-2) forms of this virus. Once you have the herpes simplex virus (cold sore virus), you’re stuck with it because there is no cure."

It is located in the central lower portion of the neck, almost exactly where a bow tie would be located. The incidence of thyroid malignancies is increasing rapidly in this country, but most thyroid cancer is highly treatable and curable. Not all growths are cancer. It is very common for nodules (small growths) that are benign to develop within the thyroid gland. There are many other types of conditions that can arise in the thyroid gland that can lead to either overactivity (too high a level of thyroid hormone) or underactivity (too low a level of thyroid hormone). In the early stages of thyroid cancer, there are no symptoms and no indications in blood work that the disease is present. In advanced stages, symptoms can include a change of voice, dysphagia (trouble swallowing) and dyspnea (labored breathing). The first indication of thyroid cancer is most often the discovery of a lump in the neck within the thyroid gland. In other patients the first indication may be an enlarged lymph node on the side of the neck that is found to contain thyroid cancer cells."

This effect is known as Faraday's Law of Magnetic Induction. However, materials can react quite differently to the presence of an external magnetic field. This reaction is dependent on a number of factors, such as the atomic and molecular structure of the material, and the net magnetic field associated with the atoms. The magnetic moments associated with atoms have three origins. These are the electron motion, the change in motion caused by an external magnetic field, and the spin of the electrons. In most atoms, electrons occur in pairs. Electrons in a pair spin in opposite directions. So, when electrons are paired together, their opposite spins cause their magnetic fields to cancel each other. Therefore, no net magnetic field exists."

Basically, the force between two magnets depends on how far apart they are and what angles they're turned at. Of course, if there is something else around exerting forces on the magnets, you might lose track of the direct force between them. That happens if there's, say, a piece of iron between them. They magnetize the iron, so there's now another magnet around. Whether it makes the net force on each magnet bigger or smaller depends on how they are arranged. Since water is almost completely non-magnetic, it just doesn't make any significant extra magnetic force on the magnets. All you get is the same force there would have been if they were in air or in a vacuum."

How to analyze a photoelectron spectrum and relate it to the electron configuration of an element. Google Classroom Facebook Twitter Email Key points Photoelectron spectroscopy is an experimental method used to determine the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. Photoelectron spectrometers ionize samples by bombarding them with high-energy radiation, such as UV or x-rays, and detecting the number and kinetic energy of ejected electrons. The frequency and energy of incident photons can be used to calculate the binding energy of the ejected electron using the following equation: BE = h ν − KE electron The PES spectrum is a graph of relative electron count vs. electron binding energy. The peaks in PES spectra correspond to the electrons in different subshells of the atom. The peaks with the lowest binding energy correspond to the valence electrons, while the peaks at the highest binding energy correspond to the inner-shell or core electrons. Introduction: Ionization energy If you look in the back of your chemistry textbook, you will most likely find a table in the appendix that lists the various ionization energies, or ionization potentials, for most of the elements on the periodic table. The ionization energy is how much energy is required to remove an electron from a neutral atom in the gaseous phase, and typically has units of kilojoules or electron volts per mole. The first ionization energy of an element A can be written as the following reaction:1 st Ionization energy + A ( g) → A + ( g) + e −where A ( g) represents a neutral atom in the gas phase, e − is the electron ejected from the atom, and A + ( g) is the resulting cation formed."

A magnetic field exerts a force on particles in the field due to the Lorentz force, according to Georgia State University's Hyper Physics website. The motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to magnetism. The force acting on an electrically charged particle in a magnetic field depends on the magnitude of the charge, the velocity of the particle, and the strength of the magnetic field. All materials experience magnetism, some more strongly than others. Permanent magnets, made from materials such as iron, experience the strongest effects, known as ferromagnetism.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the chemical shift is the resonant frequency of a nucleus relative to a standard in a magnetic field. Often the position and number of chemical shifts are diagnostic of the structure of a molecule. [ 1] [2] [3] Chemical shifts are also used to describe signals in other forms of spectroscopy such as photoemission spectroscopy. Some atomic nuclei possess a magnetic moment ( nuclear spin ), which gives rise to different energy levels and resonance frequencies in a magnetic field. The total magnetic field experienced by a nucleus includes local magnetic fields induced by currents of electrons in the molecular orbitals (note that electrons have a magnetic moment themselves). The electron distribution of the same type of nucleus (e.g. 1 H, 13 C, 15 N) usually varies according to the local geometry (binding partners, bond lengths, angles between bonds, and so on), and with it the local magnetic field at each nucleus. This is reflected in the spin energy levels (and resonance frequencies). The variations of nuclear magnetic resonance frequencies of the same kind of nucleus, due to variations in the electron distribution, is called the chemical shift. The size of the chemical shift is given with respect to a reference frequency or reference sample (see also chemical shift referencing ), usually a molecule with a barely distorted electron distribution.

It is the result of changes in the orbital motion of electrons due to the application of an externally applied magnetic field. Applying a magnetic field creates a magnetic force on a moving electron in the form of F = q v × B. This force changes the centripetal force on the electron, causing it to either speed up or slow down in its orbital motion. This changed electron speed modifies the magnetic moment of the orbital in a direction against the external field. Consider two electron orbitals; one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise. An external magnetic field into the page will make the centripetal force on an electron rotating clockwise increase, which increases its moment out of the page. That field would make the centripetal force on an electron rotating counterclockwise decrease, decreasing its moment into the page. Both changes oppose a magnetic field into the page. The induced magnetic moment is very small in most everyday materials. All materials show a diamagnetic response in an applied magnetic field; however for materials which show some other form of magnetism (such as ferromagnetism or paramagnetism ), the diamagnetism is completely swamped."

"text": "The term magnetism describes the force of repulsion and attraction between different substances, such as iron and other metals. In magnetism, the motion of charged particles is ultimately responsible for the attraction or repulsion between substances. Objects that are attracted to each other illustrate the magnetic principles of ferromagnetism and paramagnetism, while diamagnetism describes the repulsion of magnetic fields. One object that is commonly associated with magnetism is called a magnet, which produces a static magnetic field. Some of the most common types of magnets, such as the refrigerator variety, are considered permanent because of their ability to create their own magnetic field. Magnets have two poles: a north (N) and a south (S) pole. The poles either attract or repel objects using a magnetic force. When two magnets with opposite poles are close to each other, the magnetic force attracts them to one another. The opposite is true when opposing poles are in close proximity. Magnets can also attract various magnetized objects."

Accordingly the elements in which the f-block is getting filled are kept at the bottom portion of the periodic table and are called f-block elements or Lanthanides in the 6th period and an incomplete 7th period called Actinides. The lanthanides are a series of fifteen metal elements that are next to each other near the bottom of the periodic table. The name of the series comes from lanthanum, the element that marks the beginning of the series. All members of the series have similar chemical properties. In nature, they are found together in the same minerals and it is difficult to separate them into individual elements.

Lanthanides have the uncharacteristic feature of having almost similar properties. They were initially known as rare earth metals but now they are mostly termed as inner transition elements.

In this lesson, we learn more about electron configuration through the concepts of diamagnetism and paramagnetism. We will review electron structure in an atom, and define diamagnetism and paramagnetism. Introduction One of the ways in which you can create levitation is through diamagnetism. In this image, you see a man-made material called pyrolytic carbon floating over magnets. The reason this material levitates is because it is diamagnetic, which means that the material is repelled by an external magnetic force. This is the opposite of paramagnetism, where objects are attracted to external magnetic fields, much like the attraction between a magnet and a refrigerator. In this lesson, we're going to examine why some substances are diamagnetic and some are paramagnetic. We'll learn more about the definition of these terms, and discover what they tell you about the properties of the substances. Electron Configuration To understand magnetism in atoms, we must review electron configurations."

Nelson Physical Properties of Minerals This document last updated on 16-Sep-2013Although we have discussed x-ray identification of minerals and later in the course will discuss techniques that can be used to identify minerals with the optical microscope, it is still necessary to develop techniques that can be used in the laboratory and field where instrumentation like x-ray diffractometers or microscopes cannot be easily used. Minerals have distinguishing physical properties that in most cases can be used to determine the identity of the mineral. In this course, you will develop a systematic approach to using the physical properties of minerals as identifying tools. If you follow this approach you should be able to identify most of the common minerals, or at the least be able to narrow the possibilities to only a few. We will first discuss each of the physical properties that can be used, then develop a methodical approach to the identification of minerals using these physical properties. Among the properties we will discuss are: crystal habit, cleavage, hardness, density, luster, streak, color, tenacity, magnetism, and taste. Crystal Habit In nature perfect crystals are rare. The faces that develop on a crystal depend on the space available for the crystals to grow. If crystals grow into one another or in a restricted environment, it is possible that no well-formed crystal faces will be developed."

Flouting convention and fusing musical genres, Zappa's music was often politically charged and intentionally shocking. Synopsis Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on December 21, 1940, Frank Zappa was largely a self-taught musician, whose 30-year career embraced a wide variety of musical genres, encompassing rock, jazz, synth and symphonies. Avant-garde composers, as well as math and chemistry from his father's work, all fell into Zappa's mix of influences and comprised his unique approach to his art, coupled with a flouting of convention. Zappa also directed films, designed album covers and spoke about social issues. Although his unconventional aspect often overshadowed his brilliance, Zappa is highly respected as a musical pioneer. He died from prostate cancer on December 4, 1993, at age 52.

King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Entirely self-taught, Jimmy’s inability to read music made him concentrate even harder on the music he heard. Al took notice of Jimmy’s interest in the guitar, recalling, “I used to have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of the bed. I’d say to him, `Well didn’t you sweep up the floor?’ and he’d say, `Oh yeah,’ he did."

Synopsis Born on February 25, 1943, in Liverpool, England, George Harrison formed a band with schoolmates to play clubs around Liverpool and in Hamburg, Germany. The Beatles became the biggest rock band in the world, and Harrison's diverse musical interests took them in many directions. Post-Beatles, Harrison made acclaimed solo records and started a film production company. He died of cancer in November 2001. Early Life Pop star, songwriter, recording artist and producer George Harrison was born on February 25, 1943, in Liverpool, England. The youngest of Harold and Louise French Harrison's four children, George played lead guitar and sometimes sang lead vocals for the Beatles. Like his future bandmates, Harrison was not born into wealth. Louise was largely a stay-at-home mom (who also taught ballroom dancing), while her husband Harold drove a school bus for the Liverpool Institute, an acclaimed grammar school that George attended and where he first met Paul Mc Cartney."

Road has thrived to testify the beauty of the imperfect since she began creating art in her hometown of Miami, FL. She grew up as a self-taught figure drawing artist with a penchant for all things that questioned society and began publishing Green'Zine in 1997-- a fanzine which was originally devoted to the punk rock group, Green Day. Merging with the anti-authoritarian intentions of the punk rock community, the zine transformed into a manifesto about being a queer Latina abuse survivor, and her journey towards self-acceptance. Her preferred visual art mediums are Micron Ink pens, Chartpak markers, acrylic paint, Gel Pens, white-out, (and sometimes Photoshop). While taking both writing and visual elements to a more serious level, her diagram of lifestyle and beliefs remain in tune to the Greenzine’s foundations. C. Road graduated from the the Ringling School of Art and Design in 2004 with a BFA in Illustration, in order to support her ambition to eventually teach. Although, at a private art school in a red state, she was fairly infamous, as the punk feminist who changed her legal name to a Green Day song and spent most of her time protesting the representation of gender and race in art. Now, C. Road has almost 20 years of independent publishing under her belt, along with years of creating countless illustrations for a slew of magazines, record albums, event posters, and social justice organizations; as well as years of teaching though unconventionally through workshops and lectures across the nation. In early 2006, C. Road released her first illustrated novel, Indestructible (Microcosm Publishing), a 96-page narrative about high school; and later in 2007, a collection of postcards entitled Distance Makes The Heart Grow Sick (Microcosm Publishing)."

"text": "\"Dick Wagner, Guitarist for Alice Cooper and Lou Reed, Dead at 71The guitarist also played with Kiss, Aerosmith, Rod Stewart, Meat Loaf and more Dick Wagner Cindy Ord/Getty Images By Kory Grow July 30, 2014Dick Wagner, who played guitar with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and on records by Kiss and Aerosmith at various points in his career, died on July 30th after being hospitalized in Scottsdale, Arizona for respiratory failure. Two weeks earlier, he had undergone a cardiac procedure, according to Detroit Free Press. He was 71. How Dick Wagner Saved the Day on Kiss' 'Destroyer'In his lifetime, Wagner played guitar with a number of notable names in pop and rock, including Rod Stewart, Hall and Oates and Meatloaf, among others. He also made a name for himself as a songwriter for his mid-Seventies work with Cooper. Wagner was born in Iowa but grew up in the Detroit area and, as a self-taught guitarist, was asked to back Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison on one-off gigs. By the later part of the decade, he came to prominence as the frontman for the rock group the Frost and, after moving to New York City in the early Seventies, as a member of Ursa Major. The latter group, whose original group featured keyboardist Billy Joel, recorded with Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin, who recognized Wagner's talent and brought him in to play additional guitar on their School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies and Muscle of Love LPs. The Ezrin connection would pave the way for Wagner's biggest gigs. His playing was featured on Lou Reed's 1973 rock opera Berlin – an album that also featured guitarist Steve Hunter – and, later that year, Wagner and Hunter backed Reed on the tour that was featured on the live albums Rock 'n' Roll Animal and Lou Reed Live."

Taking up keyboards at age five, Keneally 's life changed when he moved from New York to California in 1970 and heard Frank Zappa for the first time at age ten. Woodshedding for the next 15 years as a self-taught guitarist, Keneally formed a band called Drop Control in his hometown of San Diego in 1985 and became one of the city's musical heroes. Keneally auditioned for Zappa 's band in 1987 as a \"\"stunt guitar\"\" replacement for Steve Vai, and was hired as a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist. The multi-instrumentalist would appear on some classic Zappa albums like Broadway the Hard Way and The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life, but little did he know that his lineup would be Zappa 's final touring band. Between 1988 and 1991, Keneally performed with Drop Control and Zappa 's son Dweezil 's band Z, toyed with studio-musician status, and moved to Los Angeles. After working on the Grammy-winning tribute album Zappa's Universe, Keneally started a solo career with his 1992 debut album, Hat. Quirky and hard to categorize (with Zappa trademarks like classical undertones, stuttering, jazz-like rhythms, and humorous lyrics), the debut was a big hit with critics. But the next year would claim both Keneally 's father and Zappa, leading to the moody yet brilliant 1994 CD Boil That Dust Speck."

"text": "\"Hawaiian Culture: 3 pages [ Previous page] [ 1] [2] [ 3] [ Next page]Hawaiian Music - A Brief History Hawaiian music is a unique blend of several early influences from abroad with ethnic Hawaiian chants. It has spawned the adaptation of guitar to several distinctly Hawaiian sounds and styles, notably slack key and steel guitar. This singular Hawaiian blend has given birth to such world-class musical talents as Gabby Pahinui, The Tau Moe Family, and The Sons of Hawai'i, who have all helped spread the Hawaiian sound and culture throughout the world. All of these great musicians are featured on the sound track of SURFING FOR LIFE which includes 17 songs of Hawaiian music. The general history of Hawaiian music begins in the mid 1800s, when visitors from all over the planet came by sea to Hawai'i, bringing with them instruments such as the violin, guitar, ukulele, piano, accordion and flute. Hawaiian music was rooted in old religious chants and hymns, which the native Hawaiians then mixed with the musical rhythms, sounds and instruments they heard from international visitors, immigrants and missionaries. Secular music was influenced by a variety of people including those of Mexican, Italian, German and Burmese descent. When early Mexican cowboys ( paniolo ), then still under Spanish rule, came to Hawai'i in the mid-1800s, they brought their guitars with them and taught the Hawaiians to play them in the Spanish style. The Hawaiians had innate musical talent and many became quite interested in the guitar. They largely followed the paniolo lead in guitar style and tuning."

Not much except this: All of them owe a significant chunk of their awesomeness to their bass lines. Whether used for its harmonic, rhythmic or brute force capabilities, the bass is both popular music's sexiest instrument and its most under-appreciated. Some of the most influential and widely heard bassists remain virtually faceless to the general public, while others are better known for their vocal or songwriting accomplishments than for their mastery of the bottom end. A handful have become legends, whether through virtuosity, showmanship or both; some died tragically young, but delivered such brilliance in their brief careers that they redefined the four-string's possibilities.

"text": "\"‘You Are My Sunshine’ Writer Jimmie Davis Dies Posted in News on November 5, 2000BMI songwriter Jimmie Davis, known as Louisiana's singing governor, died Sunday, November 5 at his home in Baton Rouge, LA. No one, including Davis himself, knew his true age, believed to be about 101. Davis was one of 11 children and his sharecropper parents could not remember exactly when he was born. The former governor of Louisiana who served two terms began writing songs in the mid-1930's without knowing how to read or write music. The self-taught guitarist caught the ear of an RCA talent scout and his music career took off from there. In addition to \"\"You Are My Sunshine,\"\" first recorded in 1940, Davis wrote songs like \"\"Nobody's Darling But Mine,\"\" \"\"It Makes No Difference Now,\"\" \"\"Honky Tonk Blues,\"\" \"\"Take My Hand\"\" and hundreds more. His own renditions did well, attracting artists like Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Guy Lombardo and the Andrews Sisters to record his songs. Over the next 60 years, \"\"You Are My Sunshine\"\" was recorded by more than 350 artists, sold millions of records and was translated into 30 languages. It is easily one of the world's most recognizable songs and in 1977, legislature decreed that \"\"You Are My Sunshine\"\" would share honors as Louisiana's state song with \"\"Give Me Louisiana.\"\" The song also received the Towering Song Award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame earlier this year."

The piano style of Floyd Cramer is among the most readily identifiable in popular music. His famous slurred notes, each sliding, as with a steel guitar, seamlessly and richly into those that follow, appear on literally hundreds of recordings from the Fifties and Sixties and at his peak were heard on an estimated quarter of all the sides cut in Nashville. Among the artists he backed were Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Perry Como, Paul Anka, the Everly Brothers, Connie Francis, Eddy Arnold, Burl Ives and Skeeter Davis. With the producer-musicians Chet Atkins and Owen Bradley, the guitarists Harold Bradley and Fred Carter, the fiddler Tommy Jackson, the vocal group the Jordanaires and a handful of others, Cramer became a key figure in the late Fifties in the emergence of the famed Nashville Sound, country music's slick, upmarket and ultimately very successful answer to the tidal wave that was rock 'n' roll. Not only did the \"\"Sound\"\" ensure that country music remained viable, it also played a key role in developing, perhaps for the first time, its international fan base. The characteristic Cramer sound has routinely been labelled \"\"slip-tone\"\". He himself commented, \"\"The style I use mainly is a whole-tone slur which gives more of a lonesome cowboy sound. You hit a note and slide almost simultaneously to another. \"\" Its origin, however, remains uncertain."

"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."

For example, if you own a three-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot unit you’ll pay more than someone in the two-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot unit next door. Fees can also differ based on each unit's view, where the unit is located (e.g., which floor, is it an end unit? ), and so forth. The fees are used to cover maintenance for the common areas, property and liability insurance for the building's exterior and common areas, and certain utilities, such as the water or electricity used in common areas. The fees generally don’t cover insurance for individually owned units; you’ll have to buy your own policy for that. ( For more, see Have the Right Condo Insurance? ) It’s important to review the HOA bylaws, board meeting minutes and newsletters and other documents to find out about any building issues and unit violations that might affect your decision to buy. These documents usually become available once you’ve signed a purchase contract for a unit in the HOA."

Here, a comparison of detached single family residences, PUDs, condos and co-ops. Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Tara-Nicholle Nelson Whether you already have absolute clarity about which types of buildings and ownership do and don't work for you, or you remain open until the end of your house hunt, you should at least know what these various designations mean. 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": "\"Why do many neighborhoods have a Homeowner's Association (commonly referred to as HOA) and a Community Development District (commonly referred to as CDD)? We'll use Westchase as an example throughout this article. A HOA governs the community and makes sure the community remains fiscally healthy, that the homes within the community are adhering to the deed restrictions and that the HOA community assets (like pools, playgrounds, buildings, etc) are kept well maintained within the community. Generally, a HOA starts out being run by the company that developed the community originally. Eventually the management of the community is turned over to a board of directors and a property manager. The management is a governing body that generally consists of an elected board of directors, a licensed community association manager (LCAM) and a property management company. Some neighborhoods also have a sub-association within a homeowner's association because additional amenities are offered like lawn maintenance, water or cable. So where does CDD fit into this picture? CDD is a quasi-governmental entity originally set up by the developer of any given community. It is a medium- to long-term municipal bond which was used to finance certain infrastructure in a community."

You can probably also charge move–in and move–out fees. But can you slap a general fee on owners who rent out their units just because? A California trial court says yes. Here, we explain the decision, and our experts discuss whether your board might want to try a similar approach. What Watts Says After a five–week trial, the court issued its judgment in Watts v. Oak Shores Community Association on October 11, 2011, likely putting smiles on many HOA board members' faces throughout California. Some background: California law says HOAs can't impose or collect an assessment or fee that exceeds the amount necessary to defray the costs for which it's levied.

HOA, or Home Owners Association fees, will vary in Fort Lauderdale depending on the building. Typically HOA dues, or fees, will cover the costs of operating the building. It should go without saying that the more amenities a building has, the higher the fees. Front desk staff, security, and valet's all have their salary paid out of the buildings budget. Some buildings, such as Sole, will also have internet and cable included in the monthly HOA fees. HOA fee's in Fort Lauderdale can vary widely between buildings.

C., area HOA properties with similar homes without community benefits — a total of about 12,000 homes. The HOA house values were found to be 0.54% higher. That’s $969 on the average U.

"text": "Home - Buying / Selling , September 21, 2017Condo vs. Townhouse: What’s the Difference? If you’re thinking of buying or renting a townhouse or condominium, there are some important differences between the two that you should know about. To help you decide between a condo or townhouse, we’ve provided definitions and put together a comprehensive comparison to help you make an informed decision, before you buy. Let’s start with condo and townhouse definitions. What is a condominium? A condominium, or condo, is a building or community of buildings in which units are owned by individuals, rather than a landlord. What is a townhome? A townhome is defined as conjoined units that are owned by individual tenants. They are architecturally similar to row houses in that owners usually share at least one or more walls. Now that we have the definitions of townhomes and condos, let’s look at some of the factors you should consider when picking between the two."

For example, if you own a three-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot unit you’ll pay more than someone in the two-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot unit next door. Fees can also differ based on each unit's view, where the unit is located (e.g., which floor, is it an end unit? ), and so forth. The fees are used to cover maintenance for the common areas, property and liability insurance for the building's exterior and common areas, and certain utilities, such as the water or electricity used in common areas. The fees generally don’t cover insurance for individually owned units; you’ll have to buy your own policy for that. ( For more, see Have the Right Condo Insurance? ) It’s important to review the HOA bylaws, board meeting minutes and newsletters and other documents to find out about any building issues and unit violations that might affect your decision to buy. These documents usually become available once you’ve signed a purchase contract for a unit in the HOA."

Removing the odor can take time but try these methods and with persistence, you should be able to remove the odor eventually. Steps1 Place a pot of kitty litter in the space where the odor is. Leave for a few days. Remove and test for odor. If it remains, put the kitty litter back for a bit longer.2 Use herbal sachets to cover up the odor. These can be made at home using dried herbs. A good one will include cedar chips, lavender, bay leaf, rosemary, and patchouli.3 Use whole cloves. These can be inserted into the pockets of clothing and bags or can be placed into sachets and hung from coat hangers.4 Use the sunshine. For items such as books and clothing that have been stored in a chest with mothballs, try leaving in the sunshine and fresh air for a few days to improve the odor."

"text": "Summertime shouldn’t be synonymous with the pungent smell of mothballs, but for anyone lucky enough to have a summer house, it too often is. People use mothballs to protect woolen clothes and blankets in winter storage from being eaten by moths, and the mothball odor tends to linger in cottages, suitcases, and other places that are only used part of the year. Here’s how mothballs work: Solid chemicals–usually napthalene or paradichlorobenzene–are formed into marble-sized balls. The chemicals slowly become gas when exposed to air. That toxic gas kills wool-eating moths–and makes everything in the vicinity stink to high heavens. The National Pesticide Information Center tells us not to use mothballs outdoors because they can contaminate soil, plants, and water; harm wildlife; and pollute the air. If mothballs aren’t safe for Mother Nature, I’m guessing they’re not safe for me. The good news is that herbs can keep moths away from your woolens just as effectively. With this simple DIY, you can swap your mothballs for sachets that are not only sweet-smelling but pleasant to look at, too. Photography by Erin Boyle."

They can be dangerous in the soil, as well, causing long-term damage to your garden. Proper Mothball Usage Mothballs are labeled for control of clothes moths only. The labels generally instruct you to place them in an airtight container with at-risk clothing. Naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene are fumigants, vaporizing at room temperature -- the toxic fumes smother the clothes moths which are unable to get away.

Phenol is used as a slimicide, a disinfectant, in medical products, and as a reagent in research laboratories and as a precursor or intermediate during the manufacture of phenolic resins, bisphenol A, caprolactam, adipic acid, alkylphenols, aniline, and chlorinated phenols. Phenol ranks in the top 50 chemical volumes produced in the United States. Phenols are readily absorbed following inhalation, ingestion or skin contact, and are widely distributed in the body, can cross the placenta, and have been found in human breast milk. Some phenols are weak endocrine disrupters. Epidemiological studies are needed to determine the association between phenol exposure and human breast cancer risk. Research studies investigating the association of phenols with breast cancer risk, sources of exposures, effects on puberty, and general effects in the body are ongoing. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification for phenols is Group 3, not classifiable with regard to its carcinogenicity to humans (1,2,3). This fact sheet provides information about nine phenolic compounds being measured and examined by the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Centers (BCERC) epidemiology studies, sources of exposures, effects on puberty, effects in the body, and research studies looking at phenols as being associated with breast cancer risk.

Many knitters love using natural fibers, especially wool, in their projects. Such fibers are a joy to work with and make long-lasting pieces. But a concern of all knitters who work with wool is how best to prevent damage from those wool-loving wee beasties: moths. Answer: Moths are insects related to the butterfly, and they cause a lot of damage to agricultural products around the world, particularly fruit trees, as well as to fabrics like wool and silk. The moths use protein in the fibers as a food source and are particularly attracted to dirty wool clothing or fibers that smell sweaty. Neither of these issues are a concern when storing unknitted wool, but that doesn't mean moths won't go after your stash. It pays to invest in a little protection if you're planning to store a lot of valuable wool. Here are some tips to help."

"text": "The Shocking Ingredients in Cigarettestweet email 321By: Melissa Breyer November 6, 2011About Melissa If you think cigarettes are simply dried tobacco leaves rolled in paper, you’re about 597 ingredients off. The tobacco industry has become master mixologists with the additives. Some ingredients are added for flavor, but research has shown that the key purpose of using additives is to improve tobacco’s potency resulting in increased addictiveness–and the additives they choose to use are dreadful. I remember hearing something about “the list” back in the 1990s when tobacco companies first started being taken to task for their dastardly ways, but seeing the list again now that I’m educated about chemistry and health, I am absolutely staggered. It’s amazing this isn’t in the news everyday. It’s bad enough that many of these ingredients are approved for use in food–but that they haven’t been tested for burning? When burnt, the whole mess results in over 4,000 chemicals, including over 40 known carcinogenic compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. You know it’s bad when the Phillip Morris website has this posted on their homepage: Nearly 5,000 chemicals have been identified in tobacco smoke to date. Public health authorities have classified between 45 and 70 of those chemicals, including carcinogens, irritants and other toxins, as potentially causing the harmful effects of tobacco use."

Contents [ hide ]1 Composition2 Uses2.1 Efficiency3 Health risks4 Alternatives5 See also6 References7 External links Composition [ edit]Older mothballs consisted primarily of naphthalene, but due to naphthalene's flammability, many modern mothball formulations instead use 1,4-dichlorobenzene. The latter formulation may be somewhat less flammable, although both chemicals have the same NFPA 704 rating for flammability. The latter chemical is also variously labeled as para-dichlorobenzene, p-dichlorobenzene, p DCB, or PDB, making it harder to identify unless all these synonyms are known to a potential purchaser. Both of these formulations have the strong, pungent, sickly-sweet odor often associated with mothballs. Both naphthalene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene undergo sublimation, meaning that they evaporate from a solid state directly into a gas; this gas is toxic to moths and moth larvae. Naphthalene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene should not be used together because the mixture may cause damage to items being preserved. [ 1]Due to the health risks of 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and flammability of naphthalene, other substances like camphor are sometimes used. Uses [ edit]In addition to repelling or killing insects such as moths and silverfish, mothballs can be used as a repellent to keep bats from establishing themselves in attics."

The following article is going to become your helping hand in finding the best variant of natural remedy, effective enough to eliminate these reptiles from your life if not forever, then at least for months. Natural Snake Repellents and Their Use There are many steps to be taken in order to repel snakes from your house, lawns and gardens. Before deciding on chemical methods there is always a chance to start with less radical, pretty safe for humans and pets, but efficient against reptiles. Firstly, never make the area around your place attractive to snakes for lounging, snaking and finally living. This can be achieved if you regularly clear away all the piles of leaves and debris from your gardening area. It is highly essential to ensure that there are no holes in the walls of the house, barns or garage."

Older mothballs most commonly contain naphthalene. Due to concern for naphthalene’s flammability and toxicity, most modern mothballs now contain PDB instead. The chemicals in mothballs can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or absorbed through the stomach and intestines. Cats are more sensitive to the toxic effects of mothballs, but dogs are more likely to ingest mothballs. Naphthalene mothballs, or old-fashioned mothballs, are considered the most toxic type of mothball. Modern PDB mothballs are less toxic but still can cause illness, especially when ingested. Clinical signs of mothball poisoning include vomiting, mothball-scented breath, pale or brown gums, weakness or lethargy, difficulty breathing, tremors, seizures, and organ failure (e.g., liver, kidneys)."

The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.top Highlights Exposure to naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, or 2-methylnaphthalene happens mostly from breathing air contaminated from the burning of wood, tobacco, or fossil fuels, industrial discharges, or moth repellents. Exposure to large amounts of naphthalene may damage or destroy some of your red blood cells. Naphthalene has caused cancer in animals. Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene have been found in at least 687, 36, and 412, respectively, of the 1,662 National Priority List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).top What are naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene? Naphthalene is a white solid that evaporates easily. Fuels such as petroleum and coal contain naphthalene."

"text": "\"health— Healthy Kids The danger in mothballs Updated: June 14, 2012 — 5:07 PM EDT195by Sari Harrar @phillyhealthsci | Healthy [email protected] Exposure to the chemical naphthalene – found in some moth balls, tobacco smoke, emissions from coal- and wood-burning stoves and even some house paints – can damage kids’ DNA in ways that may raise cancer risk. In a recent study of 113 5-year-olds, researchers from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) found “chromosomal aberrations” that scramble genetic coding in 30 kids. Those with higher levels of naphthalene in their urine were more likely to have DNA disturbances of a type called chromosomal translocations known to increase risk for precancers in adults. The researchers are continuing to follow these children. \"\" Translocations can persist for years after exposure. Some accumulated damage will be repaired, but not everyone's repair capacity is the same. Previous studies have suggested that chromosomal breaks can double an adult's lifetime risk for cancer, though implications for children are unknown,\"\" lead study author Manuela A. Orjuela, M. D., Sc. M., said in a Columbia University press release. In the meantime, it makes sense to keep naphthalene out of the house. Moth balls contain either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene – both of which become a gas when exposed to air, releasing that signature, pungent mothball odor."

Just hearing the word snake may make you want to ball up in a knot and send shivers all through your body. So, just imagine knowing that your property or home is infested with them. You’re probably packing and on your way out the door at this very moment. The truth is that some snakes can actually benefit your garden by eating the rodents that find pleasure in ruining it. Still, if you can’t fathom the idea of sharing your home and garden with snakes, then you might have tried using some of these repellants. Keeping Your Yard Clean Snakes love to hang out in areas where they can hide until their next meal comes strolling by and if you have thick leaves, bushes, tall gardens and shrubbery in your yard, it’s time to get rid of it. Not only are you assisting them with catching their next meal, but you’re making it easy for them to travel without being seen. If you maintain a clean yard with a low cut grass, snakes won’t feel as comfy because they’ll be more open to attacks by their own predators such as owls. Keeping your yard clean includes keeping compost piles at a distance from your yard."

"text": "\"Mothball Toxicity in Dogs and Cats Posted: Jul 8, 2013Mothball Toxicity in Dogs and Cats What are mothballs, and how are they used? Mothballs are solid pesticides that slowly release a gas vapor to kill and repel moths, their larvae, and other insects from stored clothing and fabric. Mothballs are sometimes also used to repel snakes, mice, and other animals, although this use is not recommended and can be harmful to pets, children, and the environment. Mothballs come in a variety of forms, including balls, cubes, spheres, cakes, scales, powder, and flakes. They may contain the insecticides naphthalene, paradichlorobenzene (PDB), or camphor (rarely). Older mothballs usually contain naphthalene. Most modern mothballs now contain PDB instead because of concern for naphthalene’s flammability and toxicity. Mothballs are designed to be used in a sealed container, so their vapors are contained. When used and stored properly, they are relatively safe to have in a home with pets. Why are mothballs toxic to dogs and cats?"

People have been using the dog's strong sense of smell for centuries for searching and hunting. This super sense can be used another way too -- to get Fido to stay out of the garden and off of furniture. Citrus Nearly all dogs dislike the smell of citrus, whether it's oranges, lemons, limes or grapefruit. Fortunately, most people enjoy the fresh smell of citrus and it's not dangerous or harmful, making it handy for use around the house and yard. Fresh citrus peels make a great temporary repellant. Mix concentrated lemon juice with water for a repellent spray that is safe to use almost anywhere. Test the citrus spray first on sensitive plants and fabrics that could be discolored. Chili Pepper Capsaicin, the chemical that puts the spice in chili peppers, is irritating to a dog's sensitive nose. Because of this, most dogs will avoid anything that smells like a chili pepper."

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

Go ahead and try them if you wish, but you'll just end up having to do the real work that it takes to solve a rat problem permanently - sealing off their entry points. If you have mice getting into your house, and want to keep them away, there is an excellent 100% effective natural mouse repellent - it's called finding and sealing shut all the entry holes in your house that the rats are using to gain entry. That's it. That's by far the most effective, and the ONLY REAL effective way to keep away mice for good. Mice live in a very small area. Once they've established a home, they have a 0% chance of survival if relocated somewhere else. They will die or get eaten by predators very quickly. No mouse will ever leave its nesting area due to any repellent - because the alternative is death! It's not like the repellent will chase them away and then they can move on to a nice new house elsewhere."

"text": "Intro Naphthalene is a toxic substance. Toxic effects vary from individual to individual (in adults, ingestion of 6 grams has led to significant toxicity or no symptoms at all; in children, in whom absorption occurs rapidly, a reported dose of 2 grams has been fatal) and they act at a both local and a systemic level. The systemic effects of naphthalene occur chiefly in the erythrocytes with haemolysis, with subsequent blocking of renal tubules by precipitated haemoglobin. Haemolysis is more likely to occur in individuals with a hereditary deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, sickle cell anaemia and sickle cell trait. Besides that, Naphthalene has noxious effects on others targets such as the gastroenteric system, the liver (hepatic necrosis may occur), the urinary system, the brain and the eye (cataract). Local effects are not that serious. It's all about the skin (Contact Dermatitis) and the cornea (corneal lesion). Chemical Structure Naphthalene, also known as naphthalin, is a crystalline, aromatic, white, solid hydrocarbon (PAH: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon) with formula C10H8 and the structure of two fused benzene rings. It is best known as the traditional, primary ingredient of moth balls. It is volatile, forming an inflammable vapour, and readily sublimes at room temperature, producing its characteristic odour."

Smells That Squirrels Do Not Like Cat Litter for Rabbit Control Mothballs are deeply ingrained in garden folklore as an extremely effective pest repellent in the garden and within structures. Sadly, the active ingredients in mothballs, naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene, are not effective against noxious pests and may harm children and pets if they eat the mothballs. They can be dangerous in the soil, as well, causing long-term damage to your garden. Proper Mothball Usage Mothballs are labeled for control of clothes moths only. The labels generally instruct you to place them in an airtight container with at-risk clothing. Naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene are fumigants, vaporizing at room temperature -- the toxic fumes smother the clothes moths which are unable to get away. Because the active ingredients in mothballs are insecticides, it is not only dangerous, it's illegal to use them in any way not specified on the label.

Tineola bisselliella Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Lepidoptera Family: Tineidae Genus: Tineola Species: T. bisselliella Binomial name Tineola bisselliella ( Hummel, 1823)Synonyms Numerous, see text Tineola bisselliella, known as the common clothes moth, webbing clothes moth, or simply clothing moth, is a species of fungus moth ( family Tineidae, subfamily Tineinae ). It is the type species of its genus Tineola. The specific name is commonly misspelled biselliella – for example by G. A. W. Herrich-Schäffer, when he established Tineola in 1853. [ 1]The larvae ( caterpillars) of this moth are considered a serious pest, as they can derive nourishment from clothing – in particular wool, but many other natural fibers – and also, like most related species, from stored foods, such as grains. Contents [ hide ]1 Life cycle2 Range and ecology3 Pest control4 Synonyms5 Footnotes6 References7 External links Life cycle [ edit]Females lay eggs in clusters of between 30 and 200 which adhere to surfaces with a gelatin-like glue. These hatch between four and ten days later into near-microscopic white caterpillars which immediately begin to feed. They will also spin mats under which to feed without being readily noticed and from which they will partially emerge at night or under dark conditions to acquire food. Development to the next stage takes place through between five and 45 instars typically over the course of between one month and two years until the pupal stage is reached."

It is especially alarming when teenagers come up with a different everyday substances to consume, smoke, or inhale for a high. When they cannot get access to alcohol or street drugs, kids often turn to household items. Using inhalants like aerosol cans, for instance, is nothing new. Popping up on the radar now, however, is abuse of mothballs. The smelly, moth-deterring balls that protect wool sweaters are giving some kids a high and sometimes leading to health consequences as well. What are Mothballs? The intended use of mothballs is to protect clothing and textiles from being damaged by moth larvae. Traditionally, mothballs were made with naphthalene.

"text": "Healthy Begins Here Tuesday, February 22, 2011Are Mothballs Safe? By Janelle Sorensen A Baby’s Death Prompts a Call for a Ban A few weeks ago, pediatricians in Australia called for a ban on a common ingredient in mothballs after it was linked to one baby’s death and brain damage in two others . The primary ingredient of concern is naphthalene, which causes a breakdown of red blood cells in children with a genetic condition called G6PD deficiency. What are mothballs? Mothballs are a pesticide product that contain either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene as active ingredients. Both of these chemicals are toxic fumigants (which means they volatilize into the air) and must be present in high concentrations to be effective. This is the problem. Concentrations high enough to be effective for pest control can be dangerous for anyone exposed to them. Mothballs can seriously impair indoor air quality. In fact, the odor of mothballs can be detected at a few parts per billion in the air. ("

April went into labour yesterday and more than a million fans across the world rushed to watch the livestream of her giving birth on Facebook and You Tube. Now that she's had her baby - a boy - April's followers are still watching and the lucky ones managed to capture the moment the protective mum kicked an unlucky vet who got a little too close to her. Unfortunately for him, he was standing directly in front of her and her leg happened to be at the same level as his nether-regions. Ouch. It didn't seem to hurt him too much as he made a swift exit from the enclosure - but it didn't stop her trying to give him another kick on the way out. April will naturally raise her calf and weaning could take between six and 10 months, although it might take longer. Vets gave the baby his first check-up this morning and later revealed his height to be 5ft 9 inches. He weighs 129lbs, which is just over 9 stone. Animal Adventure Park, where April lives with her mate, Oliver, are now running a contest to name the baby giraffe."

"text": "A giraffe’s goodbye kiss of his former keeper has gone viral over the internet. People are touched by the action of the animal saying goodbye to a dying man who cleaned his cage for a quarter century at the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands. Did the giraffe really recognize the man, and was the affection real? The goodbye kiss from the giraffe raises the question of “How intelligent are animals anyway?”The kiss came as a result of a man’s dying wish. The mentally-challenged former maintenance worker, known only as “Mario,” had cleaned the giraffe’s cages for a quarter century. He was taken to the zoo via ambulance by members of the Ambulance Wish Foundation, an organization that gives terminal patients a chance to see a site that brings back fond memories or a site they have never before witnessed. For Mario, it was a last trip to see his beloved giraffes. As Mario was carried into the enclosure on a stretcher, witnesses say one of the giraffes leaned through an opening to plant him with a kiss. Kees Veldboer, Foundation head told the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad that the animal definitely recognized Mario and that his health was failing. Was the kiss real, or was the event purely coincidental?"

Although it has striped markings similar to those of the zebra, it is more closely related to the giraffe. Native just to the Ituri rainforests, it was known only to the local people until 1901. Okapi Characteristics Okapis are 1.9 to 2.5 metres (8.1 feet) long and stand 1.5 to 2.0 metres (6.5 feet) high at the shoulder. Okapis tails measure 30 to 42 centimetre (12 to 17 inches) long. Their weight ranges from 200 to 250 kilograms (465 to 550 pounds). The Okapis velvet-like coat is generally dark chestnut-brown or purplish red in colour, with distinctive pattern of horizontal stripes, much like those of a zebra, on the upper legs. These markings are thought to help young follow their mothers through the dense rainforest. The stripes also help the Okapi to camouflage away from predators. Their lower legs are white, with dark garters at the joints."

"text": "Giraffe Predators Living in the African savannah surrounded by expert carnivorous hunters is a game of chance where anyone could loose. Giraffes have no claws, sharp tusks or pointed antlers to protect themselves, but any animal that lives in the wild in such conditions have adaptations that allow them to survive. Giraffes protect themselves from intruders with their legs. These are their primary and most powerful weapons that save them from death. The impact of a single kick in the head or a sensitive part of a predator is enough to kill it, but the experienced predators are extremely cautious, and therefore know the exact moment to attack. Because of this, giraffes are not the first choice of African carnivores when they are looking for food. They are a target only when another less dangerous prey is not available. It is not easy catching an adult giraffe, so it is more common that wounded or offspring become the center of attention as long as the mother is distracted. Giraffes may look peaceful, but they are not an easy prey. Besides they also have an excellent sight so they can be long gone before a predator can get too close to them."

Despite being closely related to lions, tigers and jaguars, who live in groups or packs, leopards are animals who prefer to live alone and are difficult to track because of their stealth and their exotic and sometimes dangerous habitats. Between their power, strength and stealth, leopards are the perfect predator, and their ability to adapt to what are sometimes very hostile environments allows them to live alone in some of the world’s harshest climates such as the south Saharan desert and even the Himalayas. Leopards have amazing features and skills that allow them to live their solitary lifestyle and survive the threats posed to them by a variety of predators. Here are ten of the most amazing facts about the leopard, the smallest of the big cats:10. Leopards Live in Some of the World’s Most Exotic Locations Snow Leopards live in the Himalayas and are quite distinct from their African Cousins Leopards live in the widest range of habitats of all big cats. Leopards can live in many different habitats as long as they can provide food and shelter. A leopard might be found in forests, mountains, grass plains, deserts and rainforests. A breed of leopard known as the snow leopard is even found in the Himalayan Mountains, the highest mountains in the world!Snow leopards habitat cover 2 million square kilometers,approximately the size of Mexico. Snow leopards like the cliffs and ravines provided by the high mountain ranges, but they aren’t known for staying in one place, especially if food is scarce."

Giraffes have a spotted coat with varying patterns that is used as an aide for camouflage. Giraffe’s have long, sturdy legs with front legs longer than the back legs and a steeply sloping back from the shoulders to the rump. The long necks of a giraffe contain 7 elongated vertebrae. Giraffe tails are thin and long, with black tufts at the end of the tail used to whisk away flies and other flying insects. Giraffes have short, stubby horns called ossicones which are formed from ossified cartilage, large eyes, and a long (45 cm) black tongue used for grasping prickly food from the tops of trees.

Males violently war with each other, using their necks as weapons, during mating season, though otherwise they are docile creatures. Social and Reproduction Mothers with calves tend to gather in nursery herds, sometimes helping one another take care of various young, with males playing little to no part in raising the young.

"text": "\"Tall and elegant, giraffes roam the savannas and open wooded areas of Africa. There are nine species of giraffe, each with a distinct spotted coat pattern. Females initially give birth at ages 6 and up, while males don't begin breeding until about the age of 7. In the wild, giraffes live about 15 years, while captive giraffes often reach age 25 or older. Mating Unlike many other species, giraffes mate at any time of year. While mating season varies according to food availability, it usually takes place during the rainy season so the baby arrives during dry weather. Before mating, the female giraffe urinates, which the male then smells. If his nose tells him she's ready to breed, he'll lick her tail and lift his front leg. If she's willing, she places herself in a position for intercourse and the two mate. Gestation Giraffes are pregnant for a period between 14 and 15 months, or 453 to 464 days, one of longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom."

"text": "Giraffe Social Structure Giraffes are social animals that live in unstable herds of 10 to 20 individuals, although they can be up to 50 members. However, they do not have strong social ties like other animal species, except the mothers with their offspring, since each member of the herd can leave the group at will. The herds have females, offspring, young, and some males. Some individuals prefer to stay alone, especially some bulls that are less social than cows. Observing the social structure of giraffes is interesting. The females bond very well together, so they group in small herds with about 10 to 12 members. There will not be males often in that group unless they are still under the care of their mothers. To protect their young, females help each other out and form what are called nursery groups to take care of the offspring while mothers alternate watching and eating. The young males that are old enough to care for themselves, form bachelor herds. They will play with each other, interacting to try to find out who is the strongest and thus the most dominant in the group."

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, however, it is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. The giraffes range extends from Chad to South Africa. Although the Okapi is much shorter than the giraffe, it also has a long neck and eats leaves and both animals have long tongues and skin-covered horns. The giraffes ancestors first appeared in central Asia about 15 million years ago, however, the earliest fossil records of the giraffe itself, from Israel and Africa, date back about 1.5 million years. Male giraffes are called ‘Bulls’, female giraffes are called ‘Cows’ and baby giraffes are called ‘Calves’. Giraffe Characteristics The giraffe is the tallest living animal which is instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Adult males stand 15 – 19 feet (4.6 – 6.0 metres) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13 – 16 feet (4 – 4.8 metres) tall. Adult males weigh between 1,764 – 4,255 pounds (800 – 930 kilograms), while females weigh only 1,213 – 2,601 pounds (550 – 1,180 kilograms). The giraffe has the longest tail of any land mammal."

"text": "\"Giraffes & Their Young By Tammy Dray Giraffes are the giants of the animal world, reaching heights of up to 20 feet. The neck alone can be as long as 6 feet. Giraffes are native to Africa, living especially in the savanna areas. Because young giraffes have lots of predators, including the big African cats, they require their mom's protection until they become old enough to protect themselves. This need for protection determines in part the relationship moms and young giraffes have. The Life of the Giraffe According to University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web, female giraffes will not breed until they are at least 4 or 5 years old, while males might not breed until they are around 7 years of age. Young giraffes are vulnerable to predators, so females rely on each other to keep their babies safe. Baby's Coming There's no specific breeding season for giraffes, so births occur at different times throughout the year. Mom is pregnant for up to 465 days before the baby -- usually one, although twins are possible -- comes around. Once it is time for the delivery, Mom will step away from the herd so she can give birth alone."

Credit: Carine06 CC-BY-2.0Full Answer The giraffe’s long legs and neck evolved to enable them to reach food that most other animals cannot access. However, their tall stature also helps them to see predators at a great distance and move off before they are in danger. Giraffes are restricted to the savannas and open forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Usually, predators avoid healthy adult giraffes and concentrate on young, injured or old animals, who cannot mount an effective defense."

Towering above all other wildlife, a giraffe's height allows them to scan the landscape for miles. As they survey the land for lions, their main predators, they spend much of their day searching for food. Lions rarely catch giraffes, due to their ability to run fast. When they do encounter a lion, the giraffe is able to deliver devasting blows with their long legs to defend themselves. Their long legs allow them to cruise at 10 miles an hour (16 kilometers), or run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour. Giraffes and large herds of other hoofed animals roam freely on the arid land of the savannas of Africa. Giraffes in the wild, live only in Africa, where the temperature is warm and very wet in the summer and only slightly cooler and drier in the winter.

"text": "FAQ: Opiates and Pregnancy Most opiate-addicted women who get pregnant worry about doing the right thing, and many want to stop using opiates as soon as possible to protect the health of their unborn child. Unfortunately, quitting opiates very suddenly puts the fetus at great risk, and invariably does more harm than good. You can, however, greatly increase the odds of a successful pregnancy and the delivery of a full-term and healthy baby. Read on to find straight answers to common questions about the effects of opiates and opiate treatments on pregnancy and the unborn child. If I Keep Abusing Opiates, What Might Happen to the Baby? You are more likely to lose the baby if you continue to abuse opiates. The abuse of heroin or other opiates during pregnancy is associated with a 600 percent increase in prenatal obstetric complications. Babies who are born to opiate-abusing mothers have lower birth weights, and these infants are at greater risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Opiate-abusing mothers tend to have decreased health and poor nutrition, are less likely to get adequate prenatal care, and are more likely to abuse other dangerous substances.

Examples of different types of teratogens include certain chemicals, medications and infections. Chemicals and medications It is difficult to determine whether a particular chemical or medication causes congenital abnormalities. This is because many women take medications during pregnancy, and most studies have to rely on the mother's memory of what she took while she was pregnant. One notable exception is thalidomide, a medication used to treat morning sickness, which was found in the 1960s to cause total or partial absence of the arms or legs in babies. Some other medications are known to cause congenital abnormalities: Aminopterin is a drug that is used to treat cancerous tumours. Aminopterin blocks folic acid, and folic acid is important for production of DNA and cell growth. Therefore, folic acid helps prevent many birth defects, most notably neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are problems with the development of the brain or spinal cord. The use of aminopterin during pregnancy can lead to brain abnormalities such as anencephaly, where all or part of the brain is missing, or hydrocephalus, which is a build-up of fluid in the brain."

"text": "How does heroin use affect pregnant women? Photo by morgue File.com Heroin use during pregnancy can result in neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). NAS occurs when heroin passes through the placenta to the fetus during pregnancy, causing the baby to become dependent, along with the mother. Symptoms include excessive crying, fever, irritability, seizures, slow weight gain, tremors, diarrhea, vomiting, and possibly death. NAS requires hospitalization and treatment with medication (often morphine) to relieve symptoms; the medication is gradually tapered off until the baby adjusts to being opioid-free. Methadone maintenance combined with prenatal care and a comprehensive drug treatment program can improve many of the outcomes associated with untreated heroin use for both the infant and mother, although infants exposed to methadone during pregnancy typically require treatment for NAS as well. A NIDA-supported clinical trial demonstrated that buprenorphine treatment of opioid-dependent mothers is safe for both the unborn child and the mother. Once born, these infants require less morphine and shorter hospital stays compared to infants born of mothers on methadone maintenance treatment. 23 Research also indicates that buprenorphine combined with naloxone (compared to a morphine taper) is equally safe for treating babies born with NAS, further reducing side effects experienced by infants born to opioid-dependent mothers. 24,25 A NIDA-funded study found that treating NAS babies with sublingual buprenorphine resulted in a shorter duration of treatment than oral morphine, and also resulted in a shorter length of hospital stay, with similar rates of adverse events."

"text": "Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a condition that some babies experience when withdrawing from certain drugs that his mother has taken during pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant and takes one of these drugs, her unborn baby can become accustomed to the drug while in the uterus. Once born, the baby is still dependent on the drug; since the drug is no longer available, the baby experiences withdrawal symptoms. Which drugs are associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome? Neonatal abstinence syndrome was originally used to describe withdrawal from narcotics, or opioid drugs. However, this definition has been expanded to include withdrawal from illicit drugs, alcohol, and certain medications, including drugs for depression called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Many health care providers are beginning to refer to the neonatal abstinence syndrome condition as a drug dependency syndrome. The following drugs are frequently associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome: Codeine Fentanyl Heroin and methadone Meperidine (Demerol)Morphine Pentazocine Propoxyphene Barbiturates Caffeine Chlordiazepoxide Cocaine Amphetamines Diazepam and lorazepam Diphenhydramine Ethanol Marijuana Nicotine Phencyclidine SSRIs ( fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram)What symptoms are associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome? Babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome may appear normal at birth. Withdrawal symptoms usually arise in the first 24 to 48 hours of life, although sometimes the symptoms may not appear until five to 10 days after birth."

A great deal of experience has been gained over the course of almost 50 years regarding the effects of prenatal opiate exposure on expectant mothers and their babies, and guidelines have been established for optimal care of both. And yet, reporting in the popular media continues to be overwhelmingly inaccurate, alarmist and decidedly harmful to the health and well-being of pregnant women, their children, and their communities. As medical and psychological researchers and as treatment providers with many years of experience studying and treating prenatal exposure to psychoactive substances, as well as treatment providers and researchers with many years of experience studying addictions and addiction treatment, we are writing to urge that policies addressing prenatal exposure to opiates, and media coverage of this issue, be evidence-based rather than perpetuate and generate misinformation and prejudice. No newborn is born “addicted” Popular media repeatedly and inaccurately describe children exposed to various drugs in utero as “addicted,” a term that is incorrect and highly stigmatizing. Addiction is a technical term that refers to compulsive behavior that continues in spite of adverse consequences. In fact, babies cannot be born “addicted” to anything regardless of drug test results or indicia of physical dependence. Evidence of physiologic dependence on (not addiction to) opiates has been given the name neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a condition that is diagnosable and treatable. And yet, as the following examples demonstrate, news reports typically and inaccurately describe newborns as addicted (emphasis added). o “In Broward County, there has been an alarming jump in the number of babies born to pill-using mothers; babies who are themselves born addicted.” ("

The prognosis for patients with this condition varies, depending on the type of atrophy, the location, and the cause. Often, declines in brain function emerge, and the patient will grow progressively worse over time as a result of the damage to the brain. A number of conditions involving the brain can lead to brain atrophy, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and Huntington's disease. Brain atrophy has also been observed in patients with chronic wasting, also known as cachexia, with brain atrophy being particularly common in AIDS patients who develop cachexia. Like other atrophies, brain atrophy involves loss of tissue. In the brain, losing neurons is highly undesirable, as loss of brain tissue can cause a variety of neurological and cognitive problems. Patients with brain atrophy may develop seizures, dementia, and aphasias. In focal cerebral atrophy, the damage is concentrated on a particular area of the brain, which means that the functions of that area of the brain can become impaired. Generalized brain atrophy involves the whole brain, and may be associated with a range of problems."

Increased rates of addiction have also been seen among pregnant women, which has led to a significant increase in the number of babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. Methadone is a long-acting opioid that is an effective treatment for addiction to opioid drugs and is often used to treat pregnant women. While methadone treatment is safer than non-medical use or abuse of opioids, it is known that methadone can cross the placenta, and little is known about the effects of methadone on an infant’s developing brain. During development, some brain cells, including oligodendrocytes, express opioid receptors that bind opioid drugs such as methadone. Oligodendrocytes are involved in multiple complex functions critical to normal brain development, including production of myelin, a substance that enables neurons to send electrical signals and communicate with other cells. In this study, researchers examined the effects of methadone on oligodendrocytes during development in an animal model. Rat pups were exposed to methadone both through the placenta and through maternal milk until postnatal day 14, a period that is equivalent to the third trimester in human pregnancy. The researchers found that therapeutic doses of methadone caused increases in multiple proteins found in myelin and an increase in number of neurons with mature myelin. This accelerated maturation and myelination could potentially disrupt normal connectivity within the developing brain."

It is the most widely abused of all opiates; 3.5 million Americans aged twelve years and older have admitted to trying heroin at least once. Heroin can be injected, smoked, or snorted, and is an extremely addictive drug. Researchers from the National Institute on Drug Abuse have confirmed that every form of heroin administration are addictive ( http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/heroin/index.html) Once a user is addicted to heroin, their tolerance develops, leading them to need more and more heroin to get the same intense effect they are searching for. There are many side effects of using heroin, including both short and long term. Also, serious problems are known to be caused from the use of heroin, such as fatal overdose and spontaneous abortion. Short-term Effects may include:-initial feeling of euphoria, followed by an alternately wakeful and drowsy state-dry mouth-warm flushing of the skin-heavy extremities-breathing slowed to the point of respiratory failure-mental functioning disturbed from depression of the central nervous system Long-term Effects may include:-collapsed veins-infection of the heart lining and valves-liver disease-abscesses-pulmonary complications A serious side effect of using heroin is withdrawal, which can happen just a few hours after the last use of heroin. Withdrawal symptoms can include drug craving, muscle pain, restlessness, bone pain, and vomiting. These symptoms are most intense 48-72 hours after last dose, and subside after a week.

Causes Neonatal abstinence syndrome may occur when a pregnant woman takes drugs such as heroin, codeine, oxycodone (Oxycontin), methadone or buprenorphine. These and other substances pass through the placenta that connects the baby to its mother in the womb. The baby becomes dependent on the drug along with the mother. If the mother continues to use the drugs within the week or so before delivery, the baby will be dependent on the drug at birth. Because the baby is no longer getting the drug after birth, withdrawal symptoms may occur as the drug is slowly cleared from the baby's system. Withdrawal symptoms also may occur in babies exposed to alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and certain antidepressants (SSRIs) while in the womb . Babies of mothers who use other addictive drugs (nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana,) may have long-term problems. While there is no clear evidence of a neonatal abstinence syndrome for other drugs, they may contribute to the severity of a baby's NAS symptoms.

"text": "While there may be some controversy concerning whether or not babies can be born addicted to drugs (primarily because there is no psychological “craving” present), there is established proof that they can be born physically dependent upon a substance. This has serious implications for both mother and child, and the resulting complications extend far beyond the ten days to two weeks that it takes for a newborn to “ detox ” from a substance. Babies that are born substance-dependent are at higher risk of developing growth or learning disorders that might not be evident until the child is much older. And because children of addicted mothers are more at risk of abuse, neglect and lack of prenatal and postnatal health care, understanding the consequences of drug dependent babies is critical to developing education and awareness programs to help prevent mothers from using drugs while pregnant. In some areas of the country there is an epidemic of babies being born to addicted mothers. According to the Orlando Sentinel;“The number of babies treated at Florida hospitals for drug-withdrawal syndrome continued to skyrocket last year, further evidence of the far-reaching impact of the state’s prescription-drug epidemic. In 2010, 1,374 babies were born addicted to drugs because their mothers were users — a 42 percent increase from the year prior.” ( 1)And while this epidemic in Florida is shocking, the Huffington Post indicates the problem is even worse in Ohio::“Nearly one in 10 babies were born addicted to drugs last year in southern Ohio’s Scioto County.” ( 2)In most cases these babies are born dependent on opiates – especially prescription drugs. In some instances the drugs in question may be methamphetamine or cocaine, and in other cases severe addicts give birth to babies that are dependent on more than one substance."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides e Bay Motors Motorcycles Motorcycle Exhaust Baffles Buying Guidee Bay 30 Likes Like August 16, 2016For many people, motorcycles are the preferred vehicles for getting from point A to point B. Whether a motorcycle is a Harley, a Yamaha, a Honda, or a BMW, and whether it is the sole vehicle that a driver owns, or whether it is only used for the occasional joy ride, there are certain considerations that need to be taken to keep a motorcycle legal in many areas. As most drivers and bystanders know, motorcycles emit a deep vroom. If a bike has drag pipes, this sound is even louder than normal. Since motorcycles are so loud, many areas have laws in place requiring the sound to be managed with an exhaust baffle. Even in areas where there are no noise restrictions, upgrading to a quiet muffler or a installing baffle is certainly the considerate thing to do, especially if the driver frequently rides in the early morning hours or late at night. Slip-on mufflers are great for this purpose, because they are easy to install. Baffles are a muffler designed specifically to reduce engine noise. And, in addition to noise control, baffles create a small amount of back pressure, which is beneficial to most motorcycle engines. An Exhaust Baffle Defined Motorcycle exhaust systems are always visible on motorcycles, and they are sometimes even chrome plated to show off their design. Aftermarket exhausts are sometimes made from steel, titanium, or another metal."

"text": "The Encyclopedia Of Dust Collectorsby dominickdalsanto | Feb 1, 2011 | Baghouse.com News, Dust Collection Blog, Dust Collector Maintenance, Operation & Optimization | 17 comments This article has been designed to educate customers by giving a brief overview of all the Dust Collection Systems available today. A detailed explanation of the benefits and drawbacks of each type of system can be found in further articles on Baghouse.com What is a Dust Collector? After the contaminated air is captured by a Dry Dust Collection system, either by means of a Central Collection System, or in a unit Collector. The dust filled air then needs to be treated and the contaminates removed, before the air can be recirculated back into the facility or dispersed into the atmosphere. The Dust Collector separates the particles from the airstream and sends it on to its final destination. Why are Dust Collectors Needed? There are many reasons why having a proper Dust Collection System installed in your facility is needed, a few important reasons are:• To protect employees and society from exposure to pollution, • To recover valuable products from the dust filled air • To facilitate compliance with health and air emission standards. Types of Dust Collectors The five principal types of industrial dust collectors that will be discussed in this article are:• Cyclone Collectors (Inertial separators) • Baghouses (Fabric collectors) • Wet scrubbers • Electrostatic precipitators • Unit collectors Cyclone Collectors (Inertial Separators)Inertial separators work by making use of one or more of the following forces centrifugal, gravitational, and inertial in order to separate dust from the airstream. Once separated, the dust is removed to a hopper by gravity for temporary storage. While this type of collect can be used in applications where particle sizes are large and only a “rough” air filtration is desired, the main usage for this type of collector is as a precleaner, to remove larger particles and debris and avoid overloading and damaging more efficient dust collectors."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides e Bay Motors Parts & Accessories Motorcycle Parts How to Quiet Your Motorcycle’s Exhauste Bay 4 Likes Like September 15, 2016A motorcycle’s sound is controlled by the muffler and the exhaust system. The exhaust system is responsible for the loud rumbling noise that can be heard as a bike is in fast approach. The muffler, however, is the main component that reduces sound. The challenge in dampening sound is that mufflers can cause back pressure, which results in a power loss. The solution is to take advantage of aftermarket, high-performance mufflers. Slip-on mufflers are a popular option because of their easy installation and fit. The other advantage to a sound-reducing, high-performance muffler is that the engine is cooled better, which increases engine life. In addition to upgrading the muffler, riders can consider some other ways to reduce sound. Motorcycle and scooter owners that wish to quiet their exhaust system should evaluate the effectiveness of their muffler first and consider other methods to dampen sound. To find equipment and supplies that can help quiet the motorcycle exhaust system, people can visit their motorcycle dealership, motorcycle supply and repair shops, or online merchants like e Bay Motors."

"text": "\"Moar Powers M Modern motorcycles are nothing short of amazing. Traction control, slipper clutches, variable valve timing; bikes have become so good their power and performance seem to be limited primarily by legislation. EPA/Environmental laws that dictates how much \"\"stuff\"\" is allowed out of the exhaust pipe, in the form of noise, CO, CO 2, soot or hydrocarbons become the limiting factors to what your bike can do. As a result most every modern motorcycle comes with a catalytic converter and most every modern motorcycle suffers from a severe lean spot around 3,000 rpm, as that's where the EPA tests engines for emissions. To meet modern EPA standards, the goal is to completely burn all the fuel for a given amount of oxygen, and yes, the amount of oxygen changes based on temperature, elevation, humidity even your air filter and exhaust system have an affect on available oxygen. Most motors will produce the most power somewhere between 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel to 12.5 to 1. This is the biggest advantage of fuel injection with O2 sensors that can \"\"sniff\"\" the exhaust and make adjustments to the fuel mixture to accommodate changes in available oxygen as well as a myriad of other conditions, but in order to ensure all the fuel is burned, manufacturers often choose to run an engine lean – more air for a given amount of fuel - to keep the exhaust as clean as possible. Several companies are selling fuel injection systems that promise power gains and improved drivability with prices ranging from $400 to well over $1000. One of the more affordable and well-known products comes from a company that's been on the motorcycle scene longer than liquid cooling. Based in Nevada and Montana, Dyno Jet is a fully American and privately held company that began making \"\"Jet Kits\"\" in 1972 for older carbureted motorcycles and as the world transitioned to fuel injection so did Dynojet."

Contents [ show]Applications Edit Engines Edit Steam Edit Internal spark arrestor mesh on a model steam locomotive Large spark-arresting chimney on an American locomotive Spark arrestors for steam locomotives may be internal (in the form of wire mesh inside the smokebox) or external. The earliest platforms for spark arrestors in the United States were steam locomotives. Wood and coal-burning locomotives produce embers which are readily transported by the wind. One popular design was the Radley-Hunter spark arrestor, which used a spiral-shaped cone to separate embers from the exhaust flow by centrifugal force. [ 1]The problem of equipment-started fires continued into the 20th century. University of California, Berkeley researchers J. P. Fairbank and Roy Bainer provided the first known academic research on the subject.

The small chrome Actuator Motor, mounted to the right front frame tube, receives the signal from the handlebar switch and opens/shuts the Diverter Valves via heavy duty cables. When the Diverter Valves are opened, the exhaust gases flow through the straight pipe down the center of the muffler, resulting in increased exhaust sound volume and greater engine performance.

The exhaust system can be a vital tool for optimizing the performance of the engine, through the way in which its design manipulates the pressure waves that can crucially assist cylinder filling and scavenging. On the other side of the coin, the exhaust system presents many challenges. It is a major loss-path for thermal energy; and it can be a car packaging nightmare. The environment which a competition exhaust system, and particularly engine headers, must survive, can only be described as a brutal combination of temperatures, stresses, corrosion and vibration. Contemporary exhaust technology can help reduce the problems and help to maximize the potential gains of the system. Figure 1 BMW Formula-One Engine at Full Power It is interesting, from having spoken to several highly-placed and well recognized experts in this field, that while there is general agreement about what features cause improvements to happen, there are varying opinions about the reasons why those improvements occur. Basics The computation of what actually goes on during an exhaust cycle is a highly complex problem in compressible fluid flow, the details of which are explained in detail in several texts, my favorite being Professor Gordon Blair's Design and Simulation of Four Stroke Engines. For the purposes of this article, the following overly-simplified explanation will serve to illustrate the principles. There are two separate components to the exhaust event."

"text": "Motorcycle Technical Articles Motorcycle Chain and Sprocket Replacement Rick K. September 16, 2017 541 Views Get Amazing Motorcycle Gear & Service at Rev Zilla Replacing a Motorcycle Chain and Sprockets Motorcycle ownership means belonging to a taxonomy of tribe and sub-culture that parallels those found in nature. Remember Biology 101? If I recall correctly, it goes something like: Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. As motorcyclists, we end up on a branch of a tree that can be classified street or dirt, cruiser or Sportbike, V-twin or multi-cylinder, chain drive or shaft drive. That’s a generality, of course, and there seem to be about as many different flavors of motorcycles as there are motorcyclists. I’m not forgetting belt drive either, which is really a variant of chain and sprockets when you think about it. Harley Davidson has pretty much perfected belt drive, but I wonder if that’s why the rest of the motorcycling world doesn’t use it also? It’s light, quiet, efficient, long lasting and doesn’t need lubrication. Sounds perfect…Members of the Triumph Thunderbird Sport tribe use the tried-and-true chain and sprocket system. This type of system must be lubricated and adjusted, and the chain stretches and the sprockets wear, requiring periodic replacements."

"text": "\"How Do I Make a Harley Sound Louder With the Stock Exhaust?by Greg Blankenship Many Harley-Davidson riders swear by the aphorism \"\"loud pipes save lives.\"\" And, after all, a confident rider is a safer rider. Making stock pipes louder is a less expensive alternative to purchasing an entire aftermarket exhaust kit. However, the only effective way to make that stock muffler louder is to remove the baffles, this can be done in four easy steps. Coat the rear of the muffler interior with cutting oil. The cutting oil will help prevent smoke and sparks as you remove the muffler's baffle as well as keep debris from flying around and getting into the headers. Use a power drill to cut out the baffle, the long cylinder in the middle of the muffler. Attach a drill extension and hole saw to an electric drill. Cut through the end plate surrounding the baffle opening. The baffle is welded onto the end plate at the back of the Harley."

It is a massively powerful animal, yet lithe, graceful, beautiful, and mysterious. The lion is shy and elusive, yet we know there are healthy populations of these desert phantoms because we find their tracks, scats and the remains of kills they�ve made. Most people will never see a mountain lion in the wild, however, because it is a master of camouflage, slipping behind a bush or rock or scrap of shadow and disappearing. Mountain lion Lions are superbly adapted predators, an essential part of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem. They are designed to efficiently kill animals larger than themselves. Lions are built with long hind legs and powerful hindquarters, which give them excellent jumping ability and thrust for great bursts of speed. They have been known to leap 23 feet in a single bound! Huge front paws with sharp claws help to grab the prey, while powerful jaws deliver the killing bite. Lions help maintain the health of deer populations by culling out the weak, sick, old, or injured."

The most widespread in Zambia are those comprising miombo, mopane and Baikiaea woodland savanna, with grasslands (mainly flooded grasslands) and evergreen forest also present. The chief determinant of the distribution of ecoregions and wildlife is climate, see Climate of Zambia for more detail. Animals outside the national parks [ edit]Zambia's \"\"big game\"\" wildlife (including sports fishing) is the foundation of its tourism industry, now one of its biggest employers and foreign-exchange earners; Victoria Falls and cultural events come second and third in importance. However for domestic tourism, this order is reversed, and wildlife is not as important, since the national parks and game viewing tours, through which the great majority of the wildlife is experienced, are priced and marketed to international tourism. In the early part of the 20th century most of Zambia's rural areas supported wildlife at levels similar to that seen in national parks today, and the 'big five' game animals were widespread outside reserves and parks. Of them today, the rhinoceros is almost extinct, the elephant and lion are found almost exclusively in parks, the African buffalo is found in or close to parks."

It means that, on the weather side of the mountain, the air cools down much slower than what it warms up on the leeward side. The result is a dry and warmer air on the leeward side of the mountain. The effect is called a Foehn wind in Europe and a Chinook wind in US and Canada. Now, when you ask: what forms on the leeward side of the mountain, you don't necessarily mean the temperature, right?"

Tropical forests regions with lower rainfall are home to tropical dry broadleaf forests and tropical coniferous forests. Temperate rain forests also occur in certain humid temperate coastal regions. The biome includes several types of forests: Lowland equatorial evergreen rain forests, commonly known as tropical rainforests, are forests which receive high rainfall (more than 2000 mm, or 80 inches, annually) throughout the year. These forests occur in a belt around the equator, with the largest areas in the Amazon basin of South America, the Congo basin of central Africa, Indonesia, and New Guinea. Moist deciduous and semi-evergreen seasonal forests, receive high overall rainfall with a warm summer wet season and a cooler winter dry season. Some trees in these forests drop some or all of their leaves during the winter dry season. These forests are found in parts of South America, in Central America and around the Caribbean, in coastal West Africa, parts of the Indian subcontinent, and across much of Indochina. Montane rain forests, some of which are known as cloud forests, are found in cooler-climate mountainous areas. Flooded forests, including freshwater swamp forests and peat swamp forests."

As it is relatively mild and fertile this coastal strip of northern Africa is the most heavily populated area in north Africa and the most visited by tourists. Away from the moderating effects of the sea, even within the fertile strip, temperatures become increasingly extreme further inland. Morocco has a Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts; Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt all have Mediterranean coast lines; Western Sahara meets the Atlantic Ocean. Sudan lies south of Egypt and so its portion of the Sahara lies in its northern half. Southern Sudan receives a much wetter, tropical climate. The Mediterranean region of North Africa receives hot, dry summers, often with droughts and fires. Rainfall is minimal and if it does fall in the summer it usually takes the form of a short thunderstorm. Temperature varies greatly depending on proximity to the coast."

When the moisture condenses, this releases energy that keeps the air warmer than its surroundings, so that it continues to rise. If enough instability is present in the atmosphere, this process will continue long enough for cumulonimbus clouds to form, which support lightning and thunder. All thunderstorms, regardless of type, go through three stages: the cumulus stage, the mature stage, and the dissipation stage. Depending on the conditions present in the atmosphere, these three stages can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours to occur.

This article incorporates public domain text created by the US government. Convective Instability, denoted in the red highlighted region (\"\"positive area\"\"), on a Skew-T log-P diagram. In meteorology, convective instability or stability of an air mass refers to its ability to resist vertical motion. A stable atmosphere makes vertical movement difficult, and small vertical disturbances dampen out and disappear. In an unstable atmosphere, vertical air movements (such as in orographic lifting, where an air mass is displaced upwards as it is blown by wind up the rising slope of a mountain range) tend to become larger, resulting in turbulent airflow and convective activity. Instability can lead to significant turbulence, extensive vertical clouds, and severe weather such as thunderstorms. [ 1]Mechanism [ edit]Adiabatic cooling and heating are phenomena of rising or descending air. Rising air expands and cools due to the decrease in air pressure as altitude increases. The opposite is true of descending air; as atmospheric pressure increases, the temperature of descending air increases as it is compressed."

Considering its northerly latitude, 46°to 49 °, Washington’s climate is mild. There are several climatic controls which have a definite influence on the climate, namely; (a) terrain, (b) Pacific Ocean, and (c) semi-permanent high and low pressure regions located over the North Pacific Ocean. The effect of these various controls combine to produce entirely different conditions within short distances. Washington’s western boundary is formed by the Pacific Ocean. The seasonal change in the temperature of the ocean is less than the seasonal change in the temperature of the land, thus the ocean is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the adjoining land surfaces. The average temperature of the water along the coast and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca ranges from 45°in January to 53 ° F in July; however, during the summer, some of the shallow bays and protected coves are five to ten degrees warmer. There are two ranges of mountains parallel to the coast and athwart to the prevailing direction of moist air moving inland from over the ocean. The first orographic lifting and major release of moisture occurs along the western slope of the Coastal Range.

It’s a consequence of the US’ unique geography. Here’s an animation I put together of NOAA's data on the 25-year average number of tornadoes per State by month: From April to June, there’s an obvious explosion in activity across the Midwestern US – the area known as Tornado Alley – and the reason for this explosion is due to a couple of key geographic features. First, here’s an elevation map of the US. What you’ll notice about the Midwest and other States with high tornado activity is that the area is pretty flat, especially in comparison to the Rocky Mountains. But as there are many great swaths of flatness across the globe, that’s not enough to account for high tornado activity. In fact, it's a myth that tornadoes can only form in flat spaces. However, the Midwest's flatness does play a role in facilitating tornado formation, which I'll return to later. What you might have noticed in the looping animation of tornado activity is that the hot spot moves from the south to the north as the tornado season goes on. This is because of the next great geographic feature to consider: the Gulf of Mexico."

"text": "The beautiful coast of Vancouver Island and British Columbia is well known for its temperate climate – the finest and warmest weather in Canada! The climate of British Columbia varies from marine to continental, and is influenced by its location immediately east of the warm Pacific Ocean, the north-south orientation of its towering mountain chains, the mountainous topography, the prevailing westerly winds, and the province’s northerly latitude. The coastal region has abundant rainfall and a mild temperature associated with a maritime climate, and enjoys Canada’s longest frost-free periods. In the interior, the climate is continental in nature. The southern interior has the province’s driest and warmest climate. During the summer, a weakening in the west to east upper air flow in combination with the development of a persistent high pressure area off the coast results in fewer frontal systems moving through BC. As a result, summers tend to be dry throughout most of BC. In winter, the province is affected occasionally by much colder, drier air from the Arctic. Daily Weather Forecasts for British Columbia are available online from Environment Canada. Vancouver Island Victoria claims the mildest climate in Canada because the Pacific ocean in this region maintains a constant temperature of 50 degrees F. Prevailing westerly ocean winds provide a buffer to warmer summer and cooler winter temperatures."

"text": "\"Air, Moisture and Mountains Adiabatic Heating and Cooling Rainshadow Deserts Simplified Example Why do the DALR and WALR differ? Air, Moisture and Mountains The temperature of a mass of air determines how much moisture content it can hold. Warmer air can hold more moisture than cooler air, so air masses that are very cold hold little or no moisture content. Masses of air are categorized by where they originate, and where they originate determines their relative temperature and their moisture content. Air masses that form over water are heavily saturated since they typically form over oceans where water is abundant and are usually referred to as maritime air masses. Dry air masses commonly form over large continental areas where the lack of water at the surface results in the relatively arid air mass known as a continental air mass. When the air mass forms in a cool (normally high latitude) region it is known as polar, conversely when the air mass forms in a warm region it is referred to as tropical. Combining these two dimensions of moisture availability and latitude, we find the four most common air masses: maritime polar (m P), continental polar (c P), continental tropical (c T) and maritime tropical (m T). Energy is transferred from different latitudes by these air masses as they flow across the surface of the earth. When warm, moist air meets cool, dry air the cooler air sinks beneath the warmer air mass since it is more dense."

Forests are also classified according to their nature, the type of climate in which they thrive and its relationship with the surrounding environment. One such way is in terms of the Biome in which they exist are combined with leaf longevity of the dominant species (whether they are evergreen or deciduous). Another distinction is whether the forests predominantly composed of coniferous (needle-leaved) trees, broadleaf trees, or mixed. There is no universally accepted or set principle to classify forests. The different types of forests in India are discussed below 2000mm and belong to the tropical wet climate group. The various types of forests in India are discussed below: Tropical Rain Forest in India Tropical Rain Forests maybe called the lowland equatorial evergreen rain forests. ."

Most mountains run west-east and northeast-southwest. A few run northwest-southeast and north-south. They are interspersed and divides the land surface into many irregular chequers. The west-east ranges consist mainly of three groups: The northern group includes the Tianshan range which crosses central Xinjiang, and the Yinshan range which extends across the middle section of the Inner Mongolia Plateau; the middle group includes the Kunlun range straddling the Xinjiang-Tibet border, and the Qinling range, cutting across the central part of the country; and the southern group consists of the Nanling Mountains on the Hunan-Jiangxi-Guangdong-Guangxi border. The Himalayas generally run in a west-east direction. The west-east ranges are important geographical boundaries in China. The Tianshan Mountains divide xinjiang into southern and northern parts; the Yinshan Mountains are part of the boundary line between the interior and exterior drainage basins; the Kunlun Mountains are part of the boundary line between the first and second steps of the staircase in China's topographical outline; the Qinling Mountains are the watershed of the Yangtze River and Huanghe river systems and the geographical dividing line between northern and southern China; and the Nanling Mountains are the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Zhujiang river and a natural geographical divide in southern China. The northeast-southwest ranges consist also of three groups, mostly in the low-lying east: In the western group, the Greater Hinggan Mountains lie between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Northeast Plain; the Taihang Mountains between the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain; the Wushan Mountains on the Sichuan-Hubei border; and the Xuefeng Mountains in western Hunan Province. In the middle group, the Changbai Mountains are east of the Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces and the Wuyi Mountains are on the Fujian-Jiangxi border."

"text": "Stability & Cloud Development Cloud development is linked closely with the concept of stability, i.e., the tendency of air to rise. Although several factors determine whether or not clouds will form, the stability of the atmosphere is far and away the single greatest indicator of cloud formation. Air tends to cool and condense as it rises, and to become warm and dry as it sinks. A Parcel of Air is an imaginary mass of air that doesn't exchange properties with surrounding air masses. In reality air masses do exchange properties, but this often occurs very slowly, especially if the air masses are large. An adiabatic process is one where no heat is exchanged between an air parcel and the surrounding air. When we talk about an adiabatic process in the current context we are talking about a rising (or sinking) parcel of air that is not exchanging any heat with its surroundings. When air rises it cools at a relatively constant rate. If the air is unsaturated, this rate, called the dry adiabatic rate, is 10°C per 1000m (5.5°F per 1000ft), i.e., a parcel of unsaturated air cools by 100C every 1000 meters if it doesn't exchange heat with its surroundings. As air rises and cools its relative humidity increases."

Sources of moisture Typical source of moisture for thunderstorms are the oceans. However, water temperature plays a large role in how much moisture is added to the atmosphere. Recall from the Ocean Section that warm ocean currents occur along east coasts of continents with cool ocean currents occur along west coasts. Evaporation is higher in warm ocean currents and therefore puts more moisture into the atmosphere as compared to the cold ocean currents at the same latitude. Therefore, in the southeastern U. S. the warm water from the two moisture sources (Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico) helps explain why there is much more precipitation in that region as compared to the same latitude in Southern California. Instability Air is considered unstable if it continues to rise when given a nudge upward (or continues to sink if given a nudge downward). An unstable air mass is characterized by warm moist air near the surface and cold dry air aloft. In these situations, if a bubble or parcel of air is forced upward it will continue to rise on its own."

Think about all of the different types of habitats you have been to or have seen on television. The earth is covered in many different types of habitats that vary by climate and by the animals and plants that live there. One very interesting and unique type of habitat is a desert. Deserts are defined as regions with very low rainfall, usually less than 25 centimeters of rain per year.

Tagged Under: Warts Advertisement Warts are the result of skin disorders caused by a virus of the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. They are usually characterized by small, round growth on parts of the body. Warts tend to affect the warm, moist parts or the cuts and scratches on various parts of the body. While most warts are quite harmless, some of them located on the feet or on other parts of the body, that tends to get touched all the time, can be quite painful and itchy. There are many types of warts which include the common warts (Verruca Vulgaris), flat warts, genital warts, filiform warts (finger like warts around the mouth and nose), plantar warts (on soles of feet), and subungual and periungual warts (on finger and toe nails).

The virus causes thickening of the top skin layer. Flat warts tend to stay small in size but can be numerous in quantity. They are usually painless and go away on their own, sometimes taking a few months to resolve (but can take up to 2 years). Warts are usually acquired from person-to-person contact. The virus is not highly contagious but can cause an infection by entering through a small break in the skin. In the same way, warts can be spread to other places on your own body. The virus is rarely transferred by touching an object used by an infected person. Who's at risk?"

They are one of the most common types of sexually transmitted infection. They are also known as venereal warts or condylomata acuminata. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and they are a symptom of HPV. Genital warts consist of fibrous overgrowths covered by a thickened, outer layer. They can appear around a man's scrotum, anus, and penis, or a woman's vulva, cervix, vagina, or anus. They are usually benign, or non-cancerous, but some types can become cancerous in time. In appearance, genital warts are often flesh-colored or gray swellings. If several cluster together, they may resemble a cauliflower. Some may be too small to be seen by the naked eye."

"text": "Oral Warts: What You Should Know About This Dog Park Health Risk By Dr. Mary Fuller DVM | Fri Jun 19 16:29:00 EDT 2015Twitter Print Email Thinkstock Dogs can spread an oral papilloma infection to each other by sharing a Frisbee or water bowl. Most dogs return from the dog park with their tongues wagging. But, some come home with something else: an oral papilloma infection. Within a few weeks, owners are distraught to find whitish, witch-like warts sprouting from their dogs’ lips, gums and tongues. Ugh, What Are These Things? These oral growths, which have the unfortunate appearance of a bumper crop of miniature cauliflowers, are caused by canine papillomavirus type 1, a contagious DNA virus that can be spread anywhere dogs interact, such as at dog parks and kennels. It starts innocently enough: The virus is spread through direct contact with an infected dog or through indirect contact via a shared Frisbee,water bowl or other item. The virus slips through a break in the skin or enters the mucosal surfaces of the mouth, and in one to two months, warts can pop up on the lips, gums, tongue and roof of the mouth or in the throat. Occasionally, they may also spread to the eyelids, eye tissues and corneas. Dogs under two years of age, who have immature immune systems, are most likely to catch the virus, but it can occasionally also affect other dogs with compromised immune systems."

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

"text": "\"Can Canine Warts Be Contagious to Humans?by Jane Meggitt Dog Care Behavior Can Canine Warts Be Contagious to Humans? Have your vet check out any growths on your best buddy. Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images A lthough canine warts, formally known as viral papillomas, spread easily from one dog to another, you don't have to worry catching them. Canine warts aren't contagious to people -- nor do they resemble human warts. It's important not to assume that a small, flat growth on your dog is a wart, because that's not what a canine wart looks like. Viral Papillomas Human warts, spread by a papilloma virus particular to people, are usually round and smooth. Canine warts might be round, but they don't have smooth surfaces. These warts look more like little bits of cauliflower and seldom appear as a single growth. Dogs under the age of 2 are more susceptible to the canine papilloma virus, their warts usually appearing on the muzzle or on or inside the mouth. In a worst-case scenario, a dog has so many warts inside his mouth that he can't eat properly."

Bacteria commonly causing abscesses are Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus. These bacteria enter the skin through any cracks or injury to the skin. Acanthosis Nigricans Acanthosis nigricans is a condition characterized by abnormal thickening and darkening of the skin, especially in body creases. It is most commonly associated with obesity or polycystic ovarian disease in women; though it can occasionally be found in people who have more serious underlying health problems or who are taking certain medications. Acne (Acne Vulgaris)Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is thought to be caused by multiple factors. Overproduction of a normal oil on the skin, called sebum, increases under the influence of hormones. This, coupled with insufficient shedding of exfoliating dead skin cells, plugs hair follicles. Acne, Neonatal (Benign Cephalic Pustulosis)Babies can develop blemishes on their face that look exactly like acne commonly seen on adolescents. Although the cause of baby acne is unknown, it may be the result of maternal or infant hormones (androgens) stimulating glands in the face to produce oil, or sebum."

People also love changing the bands, he added -- about one-third of existing customers already do because it changes the \"\"look. \"\" The new bands are made from four layers of woven nylon and come in seven different colors -- black, white, pink, red and gold, blue and gold, royal blue and \"\"scuba blue.\"\" Each option costs $49. Apple describes the new bands as \"\"comfortable\"\" with \"\"fabric-like feel. \"\" Apple also introduced new colors for its existing \"\"Classic Buckle,\"\" \"\"Modern Buckle,\"\" \"\"Leather Loop,\"\" and \"\"Milanese Loop\"\" bands.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Jewelry & Watches Watches, Parts & Accessories Wristwatches How to Avoid Buying a Fake Gucci Wristwatchtexasbaywatcher 405 Likes Like January 24, 2009I am appalled every day at the number of fake Gucci watches I see for sale on e Bay! I know that some sellers are flat out crooks and others have no idea they inherited a fake watch from Grandma, or what they bought at that estate sale, but they are fakes just the same, so I've decided to try to help shoppers identify the basics when it comes to buying Guccis. Red Flag #1 - The back side of the watch has nothing but a crest or a crest + the Gucci name on it. This is common and a sure sign of a fake. Some real Guccis have the crest, come don't, you have to know what is supposed to be there, but NONE of them have just a crest and/or GUCCI and nothing else. These crests and Gucci names are generally huge as well - the larger they are, the more likely it is to be a fake Leave these alone!Red Flag #2 - Photos are fuzzy, seller claims he has no good camera. These days, it's way too easy to go somewhere and have a good photo taken if you don't have your own. Generally, sellers of fakes don't want you to be able to see the photo clearly. Run!Red Flag#3 - Bracelet is a partial bangle look and partially links. What nonsense!"

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

"text": "How to Measure a Watch Case You may need to measure the case of a watch when you purchase a new watchband or shop for a new wristwatch. A watch case is the part of the watch that houses the dial, battery, movement, and other internal working parts. A watch case can be any size, so knowing the exact measurements can be very useful as you shop or look for watch accessories. You can use wristwatch case measurements to choose new watchbands or find a men's or women's watch with the right-sized dial for your look and style. Follow these steps to quickly and accurately measure a watch case. Tweet Locate the Lugs The lugs of a watch, also known as the arms, are the parts that extend from the top and from the bottom of the watch case and connect to the watch band. The lugs hold the watch band in place with the help of a small rod or pin. Watch lugs on both men’s watches and women’s watches can be different widths and lengths, depending on the watch brand and model. That’s why getting watch case measurements is so important. Measure the Space Between Lugs It is important to be precise when measuring the space between watch lugs."

"text": "Who Makes Invicta Watches? Everything You Need to Know About Invicta Watches Reputation Invicta watches have a rich history, which began in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland, an area known for some of the world’s most renowned horologists. Founded in 1837 by Raphael Picard, the Invicta watch company sought to provide a high quality watch and a price that anyone could afford. Are Invicta Watches High End? A first in the Swiss watch industry, the marriage of quality and affordability made the Picard family a cornerstone in the Swiss watch makers market. Swiss chronographs have an enduring reputation for being of the highest quality, and have captured the world market. When the quartz movement was introduced in the 1970s, Invicta nearly disappeared from the market, making the Invicta watches of this time period highly collectible. The Picard family continued to operate the company until 1991 – when it was sold to an investment company that is now based in Florida in the United States. Invicta Watches Manufacturer Under the leadership of CEO Eyal Lalo, a third generation watch maker himself, Invicta Watches have enjoyed a resurgence under the banner Invicta Watch Group, and have once again become a desirable timepiece. Headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, where the company runs a call center as well as a repair center, Invicta is now prominently featured on Shop NBC programs."

"text": "A Brief History of Movado From humble beginnings as a six person watch-making workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1881 to the internationally renowned corporation responsible for designing, manufacturing and distributing Coach, Concord, Ebel, ESQ, Hugo Boss, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, and Tommy Hilfiger watches, Movado Inc. has sustained a reputation for creative, artistic, high quality timepieces. Company founder Achilles Ditesheim, who began the business at 19 years old, chose the name Movado, which means “always in motion” in Esperanto, an appropriate and semi-prophetic title for a company that would establish a number of timekeeping milestones, including the first watch case designed to fit the curve of a wrist, the first self-winding automatic with month, day, and date display, and the highly-innovative Museum design for which the company is best known. Conceived by Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, the single dot design signifies the sun at high noon, while the hands indicate the movement of the earth. The Museum watch is perhaps Movado’s most significant achievement; many have regarded this piece as an icon of modernism. This simple and elegant design became the first watch to be showcased at the Museum of Modern Art , and was eventually added to its permanent collection. Highly acclaimed American photographer, painter, and curator Edward Jean Steichen described the Movado Museum watch as “the only truly original and beautiful one for such an object. ”Movado has continued a legacy of artistry, producing several variations of the Museum watch for both men and women, and developing the Movado Artists’ Series, which features the work of such talents as Andy Warhol, Yaacov Agam, James Rosenquist, Arman, and others. Movado watches are currently displayed in over twenty prominent international museums. Check out our large collection of authentic, brand new Movado watches at up to 37% off here.

"text": "Movado Calendograph complicated day/date steel 1939Enquire About This Watch. Full Name: (required)Email: (required)Telephone: Message: We have an enormous fondness for vintage Movado watches and will happily argue until the cows come home that the quality of these was unquestionably the equal of that by any other of the top tier Swiss houses during the industry’s golden years. Founded in 1881, the marque has a long and distinguished heritage, but it is the sheer uniqueness of its approach and the pioneering spirit that manifested itself so often in Movado’s work that is so appealing. If we think of Rolex, Omega, Jaeger Le Coultre, IWC, Longines and Zenith, every one of these brands has its own unique character that sets it apart from its peers. In Movado’s case, this defining trait was innovation, and the company registered over thirty five mechanical patents during the inter-war years, not to mention some wonderful ideas for new products, these including oddities such as, in 1909, cufflinks containing chronometer rated watch movements, and in 1951, drawings for a precious metal telephone with two watch dials, these for the instant confirmation of the time in two different parts of the world when making international calls. Movado was brilliantly innovative and combined its visionary characteristics with those of other similarly minded concerns. The flamboyant high society Parisian jeweller Cartier was a major consumer of Movado watch movements in the inter-war years and shared its supplier’s love of quirky, very high quality products. Any serious collection of high level vintage wristwatches would be glaringly incomplete without the inclusion of at least one period Movado offering, though in truth, the firm had so many fascinating and important models that choosing only one watch to represent at least half a century of constant excellence would be far from ideal. If we were forced into a corner and had to acquire only a handful of classic Movado models, these would unquestionably include a Calendograph, the beautiful watch offered here. In production from 1938 to 1951, this complicated timepiece, with date, day and month displays, is the perfect sample of vintage Movado at its very best."

When she was a toddler and learning how to talk and feed herself, “cracker” was her favorite word and snack. It wasn’t until she was 3 or so – fully eating with forks and fluent in speaking – that we began taking what we ate seriously and weaned her off the processed snack. She no longer asks for crackers out of the blue, but they’re the first thing she’ll grab at a party or pot-luck. Her addiction didn’t last long, but it sure was strong!Peanut butter and I get a long a little bit too well for me to eat it regularly. There was a time when me and a jar of Jif and a sleeve of saltine crackers would hang out and watch prime time reality TV shows. The three of us had our nightly routine, which led to many empty jars and even more extra pounds. Fortunately, I no longer consume peanut butter by the jar-full, but the old habit runs deep and every now and then, the urge to grab the jar and a fork hits me just so . Switching to an all-natural peanut butter certainly helps, but so does creating a “no peanut butter for Tiff” rule."

( self.fastfood)submitted 10 months ago by Juice_Campbell For the past two weeks, I've been in the middle of a career transition. Since I'm between two jobs at the moment and dealing with two lengthy commutes, I've been away from home for too long to have a home cooked meal, so I've been getting my food from my gas station of choice: Sheetz. I'm surprised at how good the food is! They have a four dollar deal: you get a six inch sub, an order of fries and whatever size drink you want! So far I've only had the steak and cheese sub, but it's delicious! I normally get it on a pretzel bun. There's also a 3 for 3 dollars deal on appetizers. I normally get two orders of popcorn chicken and an order of mozzarella sticks."

"text": "\"Baked or Fried Mozzarella Sticks Cheese and bread together are oh-so-yummy. And who doesn't love a good Mozzarella stick? I mean, fried cheese? Yes please. I was inspired by Taste of Home's recipe, but wanted to make a version that didn't actually involve butt-loads of oil. For your health's sake, try this healthy option and save yourself the artery blocks. This recipe is super-easy and quick and tastes like the \"\"real\"\" thing. I made them two different ways, one sauteed in a skillet with a little olive oil (closer to frying) and the other baked in the oven. They look very different (above photo is of the \"\"fried\"\" sticks, but both are shown below in the post as well), but Aaron and I loved both of them equally in terms of taste. So, choose whichever way you prefer."

Now that we don’t eat grains or vegetable oils, I decided that we needed to find a healthy version that we could make at home (and much cheaper too!). After some trial and error (and lots of burnt cheese), I’m happy with this recipe…2 votes Print Fried Cheese Sticks Recipe Prep 5 mins Cook 10 mins Total 15 mins Author Wellness Mama Yield 4 -6A healthy take on mozzarella cheese sticks - grain free!Ingredients About half a pound of Mozzarella Cheese, cut into sticks2 eggs1/2 cup (or more) of almond flour1 tsp of Italian Seasoning1/2 tsp Himalayan Salt1-2 cups of tallow, lard or coconut oil for frying Instructions The day before you are planning to make, or at least 3-4 hours before, put cheese sticks in the freezer on a plate. Once cheese is completely frozen, crack eggs into a medium bowl and beat with about a teaspoon of water until creamy. Combine the almond flour, italian seasoning and salt on a medium plate. Put the tallow, lard or oil in a small pan so that it is about an inch deep and bring to medium high heat.... it needs to be hot before the cheese goes in. Remove the cheese from the fridge and dip the cheese in the egg mixture, then in the almond flour mixture, then back in the egg mixture and repeat if necessary until well coated. They need to be coated completely so they seal and the cheese can't escape. Drop 3 or 4 at a time into the heated oil for a couple of minutes until they are starting to brown and carefully remove. I removed them with a flat pasta scoop (finally, a good use for it) but a slotted spoon will work too... you just don't want to squeeze them with tongs or poke with a fork, as the cheese will escape and make a big mess."

And as a result, those who are looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight are cautioned against eating it. While most dieters often fear the gouda, cheese can actually be kinda healthy in terms of its calcium and protein content.

"text": "What Cheese Is Lower in Cholesterol?by SARA IPATENCO Oct. 03, 2017A good source of protein and bone-building calcium, cheese can certainly have a place in a well-balanced diet. Moderation is key, however, because cheese also contains cholesterol and saturated fat, both of which can raise your blood cholesterol levels. Learn the cholesterol content of various cheeses to help you stick to the daily 300-milligram limit recommended for healthy adults or the 200-milligram limit for those following a low-cholesterol diet. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Hard and Semi-Hard Cheeses An ounce of low-fat cheddar cheese contains just 6 grams of cholesterol, making it one of the lowest-cholesterol choices. For comparison, an ounce of regular cheddar cheese contains 30 milligrams of cholesterol, which is equal to about 10 percent of the daily limit of cholesterol for healthy adults and 15 percent of the limit for individuals following a low-cholesterol diet. Other lower-cholesterol choices include an ounce of part-skim mozzarella cheese, which contains 15 milligrams -- compared to whole mozzarella's 22 milligrams -- and an ounce of provolone cheese, which has 20 milligrams of cholesterol. An ounce of Swiss cheese is another lower-cholesterol option with 26 milligrams. Low-fat cheeses have the lowest amount of cholesterol. Soft Cheeses An ounce of feta cheese contains 25 milligrams of cholesterol, making it one of your best choices in the soft cheese category. A tablespoon of cream cheese or an ounce of cheese spread each has even less with 16 milligrams of cholesterol."

"text": "\"Drug Whyswith Mike Mc Evoy Cephalexin (Keflex): Drug Whys Feb 4, 2008Generic Name: Cephalexin (multiple manufacturers) Common Brand Name: Keflex (Middle Brook Pharmaceuticals – U. S.) Popularity: Seventeenth most commonly prescribed drug between 2002-2006 (U. S.) Class: First generation cephalosporin antibiotic Treatment Uses — For treatment of bacterial infections including group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis and Shigella. Cephalexin is primarily used in susceptible skin and soft tissue infections, lower respiratory tract infections, bone (osteomyelitis) and joint infections, strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis), ear infections (otitis media), and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Can be used as prophylaxis against bacterial endocarditis in high risk surgical procedures or dental patients allergic to penicillin, for who pretreatment with antibiotics is indicated. At least one study, however, found cephalexin ineffective for dental prophylaxis. Has been effective in treatment of both acute and chronic sinus infections (sinusitis). Cephalexin has been effective for treatment of infections associated with diverticulitis and for prevention of UTI following prostatectomy (prostate removal). Cephalexin has not been effective for long-term prevention of respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis patients. It has also not been effective for treatment of Lyme disease or for prevention or treatment of peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Antibiotics fall into three major classes according to their mechanism of action: cell walls, protein synthesis, or nucleic acid synthesis. Cell wall agents attack bacterial cell walls."

The Leapfrog Group announced its fall 2016 hospital safety rankings, a measure of how safe a hospital is for patients, and the report was dire for some area facilities. At the state level, California was ranked 26th in the nation in the latest Hospital Safety Grade report. Hawaii was ranked number one. More than 2,600 hospitals were graded across the United States, 266 of which are in California. A total of nine hospitals in the state received an \"\"F\"\" grade in the report– two of which are located right here in the Temecula Valley. Both Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta and Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar failed the report. Each hospital had received a \"\"C\"\" grade the last time Leapfrog released their report, in the spring of this year. To compile its rankings, the Leapfrog Group uses \"\"30 evidence-based measures of patient safety,\"\" including things like patient injuries, accidents and infections.

Sep 30, 2010By Krishna Reddy, Ph D, DABTSodium hypochlorite, or common bleach, is one of the most widely available disinfectants on the market today, and is seeing a resurgence in popularity within healthcare settings, with the advent of harder-to-kill pathogens such as C. difficile spores and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Some facilities are reluctant to use bleach-based disinfectants because of a misperception that bleach can cause respiratory issues in patients and staff. In the interest of informed decisions, we have gathered some information to help dispel this and other myths about bleach. This way, the next time you are evaluating disinfecting products for your facility, you can be appropriately informed. Current uses of bleach (containing sodium hypochlorite at the concentration levels in most bleach-based disinfecting products) and bleach based disinfectants in healthcare settings, following the guidelines of use recommended by CDC, have an established history of effectiveness. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has registered bleach for use in a variety of healthcare settings, from patient rooms and neonatal nurseries to respiratory therapy rooms when used as directed. The real bleach: sodium hypochlorite bleach has been used since 1913 for disinfecting needs everywhere from hospitals and nursing homes to daycares and households. Most concerns about bleach actually stem from a misperception that bleach contains free standing chlorine. In fact the term chlorine bleach is a misnomer because sodium hypochlorite bleach (common bleach) has a unique chemistry that is derived from sodium chloride -- common table salt."

Source: Netwellness.org Staphylococcus aureus is a circular, anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium that is prevalent in the nose and skin of most individuals (Figure 1). The bacteria are capable of undergoing aerobic respiration as well as anaerobic fermentation. S. aureus is a catalase-positive microbe, meaning that it produces the enzyme catalase, lending it the ability to convert hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) to water and oxygen. In many instances, the catalase test distinguishes Staphylococcus from Streptococcus. The coagulase (an enzyme that induces clot formation) test distinguishes most strains of S. aureus from other Staphylococcus species (7). The genome of S. aureus, which was mapped in 2001, contains 2.8 Mbp and approximately 2,600 open reading frames. Genes encoding resistance to antibiotics are located on plasmid vectors throughout the genome and are easily transferred to other individuals by means of horizontal gene transfer."

During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs, by several cavities, tubes, and openings. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the nose to the lungs. It is divided into two sections: Upper Respiratory Tract and the Lower Respiratory Tract. Included in the upper respiratory tract are the Nostrils, Nasal Cavities, Pharynx, Epiglottis, and the Larynx.

Vocal fold muscles really can’t be compared to biceps and quads -says Lisa Popeil It’s very tempting to compare vocal training with working out in a gym. Years ago, I trained with a famous voice coach and at the end of each 30-minute lesson, I felt decidedly tired and was ever-so-slightly hoarser than when I had begun. I rationalized that the vocal fatigue was just a sign of a ‘good vocal workout’. But I was wrong. Muscles and Muscles After several decades of experience and exploration, I noticed a pattern: support-based vocal pedagogies result in less fatigue and hoarseness compared to vocal-closure but non-support orientations. So back to the ‘work-out’ analogy. It’s so appealing to imagine that vocal fold muscles are just like biceps and quads which can be worked out in an intense way and create visible results. But there are numerous differences between the vocalis muscle (inside the vocal fold) and the arm’s bicep, for example. Size for one."

He defined it as an anomalous air sac communicating with the laryngeal ventricle. He initially used the term \"\"laryngocele ventricularis\"\" to describe this condition. Laryngoceles are intimately associated with laryngeal saccule, which is infact an appendix of the laryngeal ventricle. This is a membranous sac located between the false cord and the inner surface of the thyroid cartilage. Laryngoceles could possibly result from abnormally large saccule that extend above the level of thyroid cartilage. These structures communicate with the laryngeal lumen and is filled with air. These laryngoceles could be congenital and acquired. Developmentally the saccule develops as an outpouching of the laryngeal cavity during the second month of intrauterine life.

They aid phonation ( speech) by suppressing dysphonia. In some ethnic singing and chanting styles, such as in Tibet and Mongolia, the vestibular folds may be used in co-oscillation with the vocal folds, producing very low pitched sounds. Conversely, people who have had their epiglottis removed because of cancer do not choke any more than when it was present. ["

"text": "Science Human Anatomy Q: What Is the Function of the Glottis? A: Quick Answer The function of the glottis is to make several voicing sounds between the vocal folds when they vibrate. Voiceless consonants include the English h, f, s, p, t and k sounds. The glottis functions when vocal folds are narrowed yet apart, according to Healthline. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is the Function of the Epiglottis? What Is in a Drawing of the Speech Organs? What Is the Primary Function of the Epiglottis? Full Answer Voiceless consonants form because the glottis moves without other parts of the larynx. Voiceless consonants occur when the glottal elements are slightly apart from each other instead of vibrating together to make a full voice, notes Healthline. Glottal sounds are how Australian didgeridoo players create a wide range of sounds with their instruments by limiting the size of the glottal opening to make voiceless consonance."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview The larynx serves multiple functions, including control of respiration, airway protection, coordination of swallowing, and phonation. Several nerves in the larynx control these tasks. Each hemilarynx receives its innervation from ipsilateral branches of the vagus. Vagus Nerve (Cranial Nerve X)The vagus nerve emerges from the medulla oblongata where the vagal nerve fibers connected to the following 4 nuclei: Spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve Nucleus of tractus solitarius Nucleus ambiguus Dorsal vagal motor nucleus The vagus nerve exits the skull through the jugular foramen. As it emerges from the jugular foramen, the vagus nerve bears the superior and inferior ganglionic swellings that are the sensory ganglia of the nerve. The superior ganglion is smaller and is also called the jugular ganglion, whereas the inferior ganglion is larger and is also called the nodose ganglion. The vagus descends vertically in the neck in the carotid sheath, between the internal jugular vein (IJV) and the internal carotid artery (ICA) to the root of the neck. Its further course differs on two sides: Right side: The nerve passes posterior to the IJV, crosses the first part of subclavian artery, and then enters the thorax. Left side: The nerve passes between the left common carotid artery and the subclavian artery and posterior to the left brachiocephalic vein to enter thorax. The vagus supplies the larynx via the following 2 branches: Superior laryngeal nerve Recurrent laryngeal nerve Superior Laryngeal Nerve The superior laryngeal nerve arises from the inferior ganglion of the vagus."

Inspiration: Inspiration occurs when the diaphragm (the musculomembranous partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities and the major inspiratory muscle) moves to create a slight vacuum in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and draw air from the airway inward to the lungs. b. Expiration: At the end of this cycle expiration occurs. This is when the chest wall relaxes and the lungs contract to expel air. During a very deep inspiration, the capacity of the chest cavity is maximized."

The Respiratory System The Respiratory System: Introduction The respiratory system includes the lungs and a branching system of tubes that link the sites of gas exchange with the external environment. Air is moved through the lungs by a ventilating mechanism, consisting of the thoracic cage, intercostal muscles, diaphragm, and elastic components of the lung tissue. The respiratory system is divided anatomically into structures of the upper and lower respiratory tracts (Figure 17–1). Functionally, these structures make up the system's conducting portion, which consists of the nasal cavities, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi (Gr. bronchos, windpipe), bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles; and a respiratory portion (where gas exchange takes place), consisting of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. Alveoli are saclike structures that make up the greater part of the lungs. They are the main sites for the principal function of the lungs—the exchange of O2 and CO 2 between inspired air and blood.

Mumps is a contagious viral infection that can cause painful swelling of the salivary glands, especially the parotid glands (between the ear and the jaw). Some people with mumps won't have gland swelling. They may feel like they have a bad cold or the flu instead. Mumps usually goes away on its own in about 10 days. But in some cases, it can cause complications that affect the brain ( meningitis ), the testicles ( orchitis ), the ovaries ( oophoritis ), or the pancreas ( pancreatitis ). The mumps vaccine protects against the illness. This vaccine is part of the MMR ( measles, mumps, and rubella) and MMRV ( measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella [chickenpox]) vaccines. Most children get the vaccine as part of their regular shots. Before the mumps vaccine existed, mumps was a common childhood disease in the United States and Canada."

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources MMR vaccination Orchitis Parotitis Salivary glands What Is Mumps? Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. The mumps virus can infect various parts of the human body but typically attacks the salivary glands. The mouth has three pairs of salivary glands: one pair under the mouth and lower jaw; a second pair under the tongue; and a third pair in the back of both cheeks between the ear and the jaw. In most cases, mumps affects the third pair, called the parotid glands * , causing them to swell painfully. In some patients, the virus spreads to the central nervous system * and causes a condition called aseptic meningitis * . Up to 15 percent of patients who have mumps, most commonly adults, will develop cases of meningitis with symptoms (such as headache and stiff neck). Before the introduction of the mumps vaccine in 1967, the infection was also a major cause of acquired (not present at birth) deafness in childhood. Deafness occurs in about 1 out of 20,000 cases of mumps, often in only one ear."

"text": "Viral, Bacterial, Fungal Meningitis Facts, CSF Results, Treatment Posted by Dr. Alison Tweet Meningitis or inflammation of the meninges is most often caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. It may occur as complication of skull or spinal injury, cancer, or connective tissue disorders. The meninges are membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. Meningism or symptoms of meningeal irritation may be present in meningitis due to any cause. Newborns and younger children may not always have the typical symptoms of meningitis, which often makes diagnosis difficult. Antibiotics should be commenced if bacterial meningitis is suspected, even before investigations can be undertaken or without waiting for results of tests. Meningitis is contagious and may spread through coughing, sneezing, and any sort of close contact. Viral meningitis is the most common, especially in children and young adults, but it usually resolves on its own and does not cause serious side effects. Bacterial meningitis is the most severe form and unless it is treated promptly with appropriate antibiotics, it may lead to severe long term complications or even death. Fungal meningitis is usually caused by inhaling fungal spores from the environment."

Your immune system normally makes antibodies to help you fight an infection. So if you have mumps, the blood test can detect the antibodies in your system that are fighting the mumps virus. Treatment Because mumps is caused by a virus, antibiotics aren't effective. Fortunately, most children and adults recover from an uncomplicated case of mumps within about two weeks. As a general rule, you're no longer considered contagious and may safely return to work or school one week after a diagnosis of mumps.

Mumps transmission can occur anytime, from about 3 days prior to the onset of the swelling of the salivary glands (parotitis) to 9 days after the onset of symptoms. How Does Mumps Transmission Occur? The mumps virus resides in the mucus in the nose and throat of the infected person, along with the saliva. When that person sneezes or coughs, droplets spray into the air. The infected mucus can land in other people's noses or throats when they breathe or put their fingers in their mouth, nose, or eyes after handling an infected surface.

The most obvious symptom is swelling of the salivary glands, giving the patient a \"\"hamster-like\"\" face. The affected salivary glands are called the parotid glands; sometimes, the mumps virus can also cause inflammation of the testis, ovary, pancreas, or meninges (membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord). Once someone has had mumps, they usually become immune to future infections. To reduce the spread of mumps, the MMR ( measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is often given at an early age to build immunity to the virus.

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Mumps (epidemic parotitis) is a contagious viral infection that causes painful enlargement of the salivary glands. The infection may also affect the testes, brain, and pancreas, especially in adults. Mumps is caused by a virus. Symptoms include chills, headache, poor appetite, fever, and a feeling of illness, followed by swelling of the salivary glands. The diagnosis is based on typical symptoms. Most children recover with no problems; however, infection can lead to meningitis or encephalitis. Routine vaccination can prevent the infection. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms. Children become infected with mumps by breathing in small airborne droplets of moisture coughed out by an infected person or by having direct contact with objects contaminated by infected saliva."

Related to mumps: mumps virus Mumps Definition Mumps is a relatively mild short-term viral infection of the salivary glands that usually occursduring childhood. Typically, mumps is characterized by a painful swelling of both cheek areas,although the person could have swelling on one side or no perceivable swelling at all. The salivaryglands are also called the parotid glands, therefore, mumps is sometimes referred to as an inflammation of the parotid glands (epidemic parotitis). The word mumps comes from an old English dialect, meaning lumps or bumps within the cheeks. Description Mumps is a very contagious infection that spreads easily in such highly populated areas as daycare centers and schools. Although not as contagious as measles or chickenpox, mumps wasonce quite common. Prior to the release of a mumps vaccine in the United States in 1967,approximately 92% of all children had been exposed to mumps by the age of 15. In these pre-vaccine years, most children contracted mumps between the ages of four and seven. Mumpsepidemics came in two to five year cycles."

"text": "Mumps Health Guide More What Is It? Mumps is an infection with a virus that causes swelling of the parotid glands in front of each ear. The parotid glands make saliva. Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, a type of paramyxovirus that spreads from person to person through coughs, sneezes and saliva, as well as through contact with contaminated items and surfaces (used tissues, shared drinking glasses, dirty hands that touched a runny nose). Once the mumps virus enters the body, it passes into the bloodstream and can spread to many different glands and to the brain: Salivary glands — Mumps causes pain and swelling in the parotid gland and in other salivary glands located under the tongue and jaw. Testes — In the testes, mumps infection can cause swelling, pain, tenderness and, sometimes, permanent shrinkage (atrophy), although it rarely causes sterility. Ovaries — In women, mumps infection of the ovaries can cause pain in the lower abdomen but doesn't lead to infertility. Pancreas — The mumps virus may cause inflammation and infection of the pancreas and abdominal pain. Brain — Once it enters the bloodstream, the mumps virus also can travel to the brain, where it may cause meningitis (inflammation and infection of membranes covering of the brain) and encephalitis (brain infection). This brain involvement (which is very rare) sometimes leads to long-term complications, such as deafness, paralysis (weakness, especially of facial muscles), hydrocephalus and seizures."

It’s most recognisable by the painful swellings at the side of the face under the ears (the parotid glands), giving a person with mumps a distinctive \"\"hamster face\"\" appearance. Other symptoms of mumps include headaches, joint pain and a high temperature, which may develop a few days before the swelling of the parotid glands. When to see your GPIt's important to contact your GP if you suspect mumps so a diagnosis can be made. While mumps isn't usually serious, the condition has similar symptoms to more serious types of infection, such as glandular fever and tonsillitis. Your GP can usually make a diagnosis after seeing and feeling the swelling, looking at the position of the tonsils in the mouth and checking the person's temperature to see if it's higher than normal. Let your GP know in advance if you're coming to the surgery, so they can take any necessary precautions to prevent the spread of infection. If your GP suspects mumps, they should notify your local health protection unit (HPU). The HPU will arrange for a sample of saliva to be tested to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. How mumps is spread Mumps is spread in the same way as colds and flu – through infected droplets of saliva that can be inhaled or picked up from surfaces and transferred into the mouth or nose."

Because measles is so uncommon in the United States today, a doctor may take a blood sample from the patient to confirm whether the rash is truly measles. The individual's blood may be tested for the measles virus. Mumps: If a doctor suspects that an individual has mumps, a virus culture or a blood test may be needed. The blood test can detect mumps antibodies, which indicate whether the individual had a recent or past infection. Most individuals who have mumps will be protected (immune) from getting mumps again. A small percentage of individuals who have been exposed to the mumps virus may be reinfected with mumps and have a milder form of the illness. Rubella: The rubella rash can look like many other viral rashes. Doctors usually confirm rubella with the help of laboratory tests to detect the virus.

"text": "\"A: Municipal bonds are commonly tax-free at the federal level, but can be taxable at state or local income tax levels or under certain circumstances. An Overview of Municipal Bonds A municipal bond, also known as a muni, is a debt security used to fund capital expenditures for a county, municipality or state. One of the major advantages of munis is that they are typically exempt from federal income tax. They are often excused from local and state tax as well, particularly when the bond’s investor lives in the state in which the bond was issued. Essentially, when investors buy a municipal bond, they loan money to the bond’s issuer in exchange for a specified number of interest payments over a set period of time. The end of this time period is referred to as the bond’s maturity date, defined as when the investor’s full investment principal is returned. Municipal bonds, because they are tax-exempt, are popular among individuals in higher income tax brackets. While munis are generally assumed to be tax-free, investors should determine a bond's tax consequences before investing. If an individual invests in a bond issued by an agency of their home state, there is rarely state tax charged. However, if they buy the bonds of another state, their home state may tax their interest income from the bond."

They can be used to obtain automatic execution c. They can be used only by institutional investors d. They can be used by clients that do not want to use a broker-dealer b. They can be used to obtain automatic execution Explanation - Electronic communication networks (ECNs) are trading systems designed to match buyers with sellers of securities. They can be used by both institutional and retail investors. One of the benefits of their use is immediate automatic execution if a matching buy or sell order can be found on the system. ECNs do not allow investors to trade directly with one another, but allow subscribers such as broker-dealers to use these systems to execute the orders sent to them by their clients A transaction occurs between two dealers for a Nasdaq stock. The trade must be reported by: The seller within 10 seconds A registered representative is provided with the following financial information concerning a company: Debt of $225 million, par value of the common stock $40 million, paid-in capital of $70 million, and retained earnings of $750 million. The debt-to-equity ratio is: 26% Explanation: The debt-to-equity is found by dividing the dollar amount of debt (bonds) by the dollar amount of shareholder equity (common stock + paid-in capital + retained earnings). The debt-to-equity ratio is 26% ($225 million / [the par value of the common stock is $40 million + paid-in capital of $70 million + retained earnings of $750 million = $860 million])."

Certain provisions could impact supply and demand for US municipal bonds Posted by Mark Gilley, Head of Municipal Credit Research and Mark Paris, Head of Municipals on Dec 15, 2017, in Fixed Income Time to read: 3 min Tax reform is currently underway in Congress and could have important implications for the tax-exempt municipal market. As we wait for a final agreement between the House and Senate versions — which could come as soon as today or tomorrow — we can make some observations about how tax reform is likely to impact the US municipal bond market, based on the details reported to date. Municipal tax exemption preserved The greatest perceived risk to the municipal market has been the potential elimination of its tax-exempt feature, but this was not included in either the House or Senate version of the tax law. Several other changes, however, could impact municipal credit quality and future supply and demand for municipal bonds. These are discussed below. Possible termination of ‘Private Activity Bonds’ could impact municipal supply Tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds (PABs) are used by governments to finance “private activity,” like the construction of airports. PABs are also issued by nonprofit organizations, such as not-for-profit health care systems and not-for-profit colleges and universities. The Internal Revenue Service establishes tests to determine if a bond qualifies as a PAB. 1The House version of the tax law included the termination of PABs, 2 while the Senate version left PABs intact."

Contact Author | Meet other investing specialists Make Sure You're Buying for the Right Reasons If you're buying a bond fund to give your portfolio stability or to help generate income, then your strategy may pay off. If you think you can't lose money in bonds, guess again. Bond values move in the opposite direction of interest rates, so the value of your bond will go down when rates go up (and vice versa). That means you can lose principal in bond funds when interest rates rise. Even if you buy individual bonds and hold them until maturity, you can lose money if you paid a premium for your bond."

"text": "\" (Money Watch) We often hear criticism from the financial media and some professional advisors about the use of \"\"bond ladders.\"\" For example, columnist Jane Bryant Quinn took ladders to task in her column \"\" 7 Reasons Why Bond Ladders are Bad for Investors .\"\" Unfortunately, much of the criticism is based on falsehoods and the conflicts of interests from advisors who only use mutual funds and ETFs. To correct such misperceptions, we'll address each of the criticisms raised, beginning with the issue of credit risk. Before we get started, here's a quick note about what exactly a bond ladder is. Building a bond ladder involves buying individual bonds with increasingly long maturities. For instance, you might have a ladder than owns bonds that mature each year for the next 10 years. Proceeds from maturities and interest can be used to continue to build the ladder. Credit risk and the need for diversification It's true that the greatest benefit of mutual funds is diversification, which is critical for investments that have lots of idiosyncratic risks, like stocks and junk bonds. However, with Treasury bonds and FDIC insured CDs, there's no need to diversify because there isn't any credit risk."

In the case that the bond is bought by a resident of the state that issued the bond, the interest payments are also exempt from state tax. Interest payments are further exempt from local tax if they are bought by residents of the locality that issued the bond. Capital gains however are taxable. Given the tax-savings they offer, municipal bonds are often bought by people who have large tax burdens. Yields on municipal bonds are often lower than corporate or Treasury bonds with comparable maturities, because of the important advantage of not being taxed at the federal level. In general, municipal bonds are considered safer than corporate bonds, since a municipality is far less likely to go bankrupt than a company.

Types of Municipal Bonds A municipal bond is categorized based on the source of its interest payments and principal repayments. A bond can be structured in different ways offering various benefits, risks and tax treatments. Income generated by a municipal bond may be taxable. For example, a municipality may issue a bond not qualified for federal tax exemption, resulting in the generated income being subject to federal taxes. A general obligation bond (GO) is issued by governmental entities and not backed by revenue from a specific project, such as a toll road. Some GO bonds are backed by dedicated property taxes; others are payable from general funds. A revenue bond secures principal and interest payments through the issuer or sales, fuel, hotel occupancy or other taxes."

"text": "\"Municipal Bond Participants: Bond Counsel Report under Section 21 (a) of the Exchange Act Attorney's Conduct in Issuing an Opinion Letter Without Conducting An Inquiry Of Underlying Facts Failed to Comport With Applicable Standards of Conduct, Exchange Act Release No. 17831 (June 1, 1981). Introduction After consideration by the Commission of the role of the lawyer who represented an underwriter in the public offering of certain industrial revenue bonds, the Commission has determined, in the exercise of its prosecutorial discretion, not to institute an enforcement proceeding against that person, charging aiding and abetting of violations of antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. n1 This decision not to bring an enforcement action is not based on any conclusion that the lawyer's conduct was even arguably acceptable; to the contrary, the Commission believes that the lawyer failed to carry out his professional obligations under the circumstances described below and, as a result, facilitated violations of the securities laws. n2 The Commission has taken into account certain other factors, including his unfamiliarity with the federal securities laws and the fact that he relied, in a manner inappropriate under the circumstances, upon bond counsel, an experienced securities lawyer. The Commission believes, however, that the public and the bar should be apprised of the conduct of the lawyer in this case and of the Commission's views as to the responsibilities of lawyers who render opinions in connection with securities transactions which affect public investors. The Facts In 1977, William M. Gotten, an attorney in Memphis, Tennessee, rendered an opinion, as counsel for an underwriter, in connection with the offer and sale of industrial revenue bonds not required to be registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The opinion letter, which was drafted for Mr. Gotten's signature by bond counsel in the transaction, falsely stated that the offering circular did not \"\"omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading\"\". Unlike many other industrial bond offerings which are intended to provide funds for the construction of new facilities, the offering in this case was for the purpose of acquiring an existing hospital, which had operated for several years. While the offering circular contained projections of revenues, expenses and earnings, it contained no financial information about the past operations of the hospital."

Interest on the value of gifts given for opening an account. Distributions commonly known as “dividends” on deposit or share accounts in credit unions, cooperative banks, and other banking associations. Interest on loans you make to others.

Thinkstock By Eleanor Laise, Senior Editor From Kiplinger's Retirement Report, May 2015After a stellar 2014, municipal-bond investors need to rein in their return expectations and reassess the risks of tax-exempt bond funds. See Also: SLIDE SHOW: Best Bond Funds for Income Investors Today Last year, muni bonds were buoyed by nearly ideal conditions, including a general improvement in the financial health of state and local issuers, big tax bills spurring investor demand for these bonds, and declining interest rates. ( As interest rates fall, bond prices rise.) The Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained more than 9% for the year. Investors shouldn't expect a repeat performance this year. Prices have run up so much that there's little room for further gains, money managers say. The Federal Reserve is likely to start raising rates, casting uncertainty over all types of bond investments. And although muni default rates remain very low, negative headlines about troubled issuers, such as Chicago, New Jersey and Puerto Rico, can still shake up the market.

Instead, headache pain begins in other locations, such as the tissues covering the brain or muscles, blood vessels, or nerves around the scalp face and neck. A headache is generally categorized as primary or secondary. Primary Headache. A headache is considered primary when a disease or other medical condition does not cause it. Tension headache is the most common primary headache and accounts for almost all headaches. Neurovascular headaches are the second most common primary headaches.

Some are used to suppress chronic cough and diarrhea. Opioids drugs include naturally occurring opiates derived from the opium poppy plant such as morphine, codeine and thebaine, synthetic opiates such as fentanyl and semi-synthetic opiates including oxycodone and hydrocodone. Opioids drugs are thought to block pain signals in the brain by attaching to certain opioid receptors. While they are considered to be among the most effective pain reducers available, opioids can be highly addictive and pose risks including physical and mental dependence, withdrawal when regular use is stopped suddenly and overdose. Uses for opioids include treatment of pain due to: Cancer Migraines Terminal illness Diabetic neuropathy Serious trauma or injury Surgery Labor. Opioid Drugs Side Effects, Tolerance and Abuse As with all medications, opioids drugs can produce side effects, some which can be rather short-lived, and others which can last longer and be more serious. One of the side effects that can be attractive to recreational users is euphoria. Opioids can cause feelings of sedation and relaxation, both which can he heightened by combining opioids with other substances and drugs. This is extremely dangerous and can cause a fatal overdose."

"text": "Table of Contents Abuse of Opiates and Benzos Why Is It Dangerous to Combine? What Happens When Mixed Get Help for Abuse Medical professionals often research and warn against the dangers of polydrug use, or the ingestion of more than one type of drug. While polydrug use often centers on substances like alcohol, heroin, cocaine, or marijuana, there is a growing trend of mixing prescription medications for recreational purposes. Some users may attempt to mix opioid painkillers (e.g., Vicodin or oxycodone) and benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax or Valium) in an effort to enhance the painkilling or euphoric effects of opiates. This combination has drawn a great deal of attention due to its potential consequences. Opiates Opioid prescription painkillers are a class of medications that bind with opioid receptors in the brain to stop a person from feeling serious pain. These drugs are typically derived from the opium poppy and reduce pain messages from parts of the body to the brain. These are typically prescribed after surgery, such as wisdom tooth removal, or to treat chronic pain from arthritis or cancer. Two of the most common opioid painkillers are Vicodin, which is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen, and oxycodone, which is found in prescription medications like Percocet and Oxy Contin. Both drugs are prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain, which over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen cannot help."

"text": "\"Specific Pain Syndrome Visceral Pain Many conditions lead to visceral pain. Visceral pain occurs when there is stimulation of nociceptors of the organs in the abdomen, pelvis or chest. Visceral pain is diffuse, hard to pinpoint and often referred to a remote structure. Visceral structures are aggravated by ischemia, inflammation and stretch. Chest pain can occur from many different etiologies. There are a few life-threatening situations that must be considered including myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, tension pneumothorax and esophageal rupture. The majority of chest pain is not life threatening, and selected causes include chest wall pain (costochondritis, muscle strain), panic attacks, pneumonia, pleurisy, myocarditis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and pericarditis. Abdominal pain is a common problem, and most cases are not life threatening. Like chest pain, it is important to rule out serious causes of abdominal pain immediately. Serious causes of abdominal pain are suggested by unstable vital signs, high fever, an inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement, vomiting blood or having dark/tarry stools."

Patient information: See related handout on low back pain, written by the author of this article and by Richard B. Sisson, a medical student at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Acute low back pain with or without sciatica usually is self-limited and has no serious underlying pathology. For most patients, reassurance, pain medications, and advice to stay active are sufficient. A more thorough evaluation is required in selected patients with “red flag” findings associated with an increased risk of cauda equina syndrome, cancer, infection, or fracture. These patients also require closer follow-up and, in some cases, urgent referral to a surgeon. In patients with nonspecific mechanical low back pain, imaging can be delayed for at least four to six weeks, which usually allows the pain to improve. There is good evidence for the effectiveness of acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, skeletal muscle relaxants, heat therapy, physical therapy, and advice to stay active. Spinal manipulative therapy may provide short-term benefits compared with sham therapy but not when compared with conventional treatments."

Maloni, Ph D, ANP-BC, CNRN, MSCN National Clinical Nursing Director, Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence, East Washington, DCPain More than 50 percent of individuals with MS identify pain as a significant symptom. For many years, the medical community did not support the idea that pain could be caused by the effects of MS, but physicians today recognize that pain is a common symptom. MS pain is mixed and may be divided into two different types. Pain from MS can be a direct result of damage to the nerves (referred to as “axons”) of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. This first type of pain is referred to as neurogenic, and is caused by a lesion in the CNS. This type of pain may be intermittent or steady; spontaneous or evoked. A second type of pain is associated with living with disability and its effects. This is referred to as nociceptive. Caused by any mechanism that stimulates a pain response, it can be mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical. Examples of this type of pain include musculoskeletal pain, lower-back pain, painful spasms, pain related to urinary-tract infection, pain of pressure sores, and even pain associated with disease-modifying drugs."

COMMON BRAND NAMESNimbex HOW SUPPLIEDCisatracurium/Cisatracurium Besylate/Nimbex Intravenous Inj Sol: 1m L, 2mg, 10mg DOSAGE & INDICATIONSFor neuromuscular blockade, as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation in the ICU. For endotracheal intubation. NOTE: Because of its intermediate onset of action, cisatracurium is not recommended for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation (i.e., where intubation is rapidly performed to minimize the time the airway is unprotected). Intravenous dosage Healthy Adults and Adolescents Doses of 0.15 to 0.2 mg/kg intravenously, as components of a propofol/nitrous oxide/oxygen induction-intubation technique, may produce generally good or excellent conditions for tracheal intubation in 2 and 1.5 minutes, respectively. The clinically effective durations of action for 0.15 mg/kg intravenously and 0.2 mg/kg intravenously during propofol anesthesia are 55 minutes (range: 44 to 74 minutes) and 61 minutes (range: 41 to 81 minutes), respectively. Lower doses may result in a longer time for the development of satisfactory intubation conditions. The presence of coinduction agents (e.g., fentanyl, midazolam) and the depth of anesthesia are factors that can influence intubation conditions. In 2 intubation studies using thiopental or propofol with midazolam and/or fentanyl as coinduction agents, excellent intubation conditions were most frequently achieved with a 0.2 mg/kg dose compared with a 0.15 mg/kg dose of cisatracurium. Doses up to 0.4 mg/kg intravenously (8 times ED95) have been administered safely to healthy adult patients and patients with serious cardiovascular disease."

The main responsibilities of muscles are body movement, maintaining the body posture and shape, and maintaining body temperature. In human, muscles comprise nearly half of the whole body weight. Human body contains over 650 different muscles, and most of them are attached to bones. Depending on the movements and structure, there are three main types of muscles; namely, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles. These three types can be put into two main categories of muscles; involuntary and voluntary, depending on their control mechanisms. Here, the cardiac and smooth muscles are considered as involuntary muscles, while skeletal muscles are considered as voluntary muscles. Voluntary Muscles Voluntary muscles are the muscles that can be controlled consciously, and are made up of cylindrical fibres. Generally, these muscles are attached to bones of the skeleton, thus called the skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are striated and are made up of multinucleate cells."

Learning Objectives Describe the types of muscle tissue Key Takeaways Key Points Muscle tissue can be divided functionally, is it under voluntary or involuntary control; and morphologically, striated or non-striated. By applying these classifications three muscle types can be described; skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, cardiac muscle is involuntary and straited and smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated. Key Termsskeletal muscle: The voluntary muscle of vertebrates, which is striated and anchored by tendons to bone, is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion.involuntary: A muscle movement not under conscious control e.g. the beating of the heart.striated: The striped appearance of certain muscle types in which myofibrils are aligned to produce a constant directional tension.voluntary: A muscle movement under conscious control e.g. deciding to move the forearm.smooth muscle: Involuntary muscle that is found within the intestines, throat, uterus, and blood vessel walls.cardiac muscle: The striated and involuntary muscle of the vertebrate heart. Muscle Tissue Muscle is a soft tissue that is highly specialized for the production of tension which results in the generation of force. Muscle cells, or myocytes, contain myofibrils comprised of actin and myosin myofilaments which slide past each other producing tension that changes the shape of the myocyte. Numerous myocytes make up muscle tissue and the controlled production of tension in these cells can generate significant force. Types of Muscle Tissue Muscle tissue can be classified functionally, voluntary or involuntary and morphologically striated or non-striated. Voluntary refers to whether the muscle is under conscious control, striation refers to the presence of visible banding within myocytes which occurs due to organization of myofibrils to produce a constant direction of tension."

LONG ANSWER: Muscle is a very specialized tissue that can both contract and conduct electrical impulses. Muscles are classified as either voluntary or involuntary and as either striated or smooth. From this we get three types of muscles: smooth (involuntary) muscle, skeletal (voluntary) muscle and cardiac (involuntary) muscle. 1) Voluntary skeletal muscle is under conscious control. Each fiber is an enormous. 2) Cardiac muscle is similar to skeletal muscle, but is not under conscious control. These mono-nucleate cells are much smaller, but still show a striated pattern. 3) Smooth muscle is closer to non-muscle cells.

The two main differences between skeletal muscle and smooth muscles are as following. The first one is that under the microscope smooth muscles appear smooth and unstripped, while skeletal muscles appear rough and striped. And the second one is that skeletal muscles are voluntary (they are operated by conscious thought); while smooth muscles are involuntary (they are operated unconsciously by the brain).

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology What are the functions of voluntary and involuntary muscles?1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Voluntary muscle contraction is used to move the body, and can be finely controlled, like movements of the eye, or gross movements like the quadriceps muscle of the thigh. There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibres, slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly. Involuntary muscles are smooth, uninucleated, non-branching muscles that are not directly controllable at will. These muscles are not as free as the voluntary muscles such as those in the arms, legs, fingers, toes, etc. Examples: Cardiac muscle: a type of striated muscle found exclusively in the heart, can be called an involuntary muscle, although it may be classified separately due to its structural differences. It is controlled by nerve impulses produced by a natural pacemaker called the sinoatrial node, the rate of which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscles, a type of non-striated muscle, include the radially arranged iris muscles, the digestive system, reproductive system, major blood vessels, the skin, and internal organs. These are also controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Involuntary muscles are muscles controlled only by the brain."

Muscles are are classified both functionally as either voluntary or involuntary and structurally as either striated or smooth. From this, there emerges three types of muscles: smooth involuntary (smooth) muscle, striated voluntary (skeletal) muscle and striated involuntary (cardiac) muscle.

We are able to capture the entire group on any given Florida property, and remove them from the premises. Give me a call and I can come and inspect your duck problem and give you a proposal and plan to remove all of them, and restore your property. Step 1 is trapping and removal of the majority of ducks. Step 2 is to use cast nets for removal. They become fearful of people after this step so I use it after the trap for the hard to get to ducks. Step 3 - After the Muscovies are removed, there are usually native ducks that can not be dealt with like mascovies. To deter the native ducks I apply migration fluid in a sprayer. The coating sticks to the grass the ducks eat and upsets their stomachs. It also has an iridescent sheen the ducks can see, which discourages them from using the property as a feeding or nesting grounds."

Not botuliem - no neck problems, no feathers pulled out. I had a thread on him, it would be August last year. Not really important, anyway. Anyway, with a bit of 'hydrotherapy' and TLC, he came good.

"text": "\"A wild duck nesting on your property is likely to be a mallard. Her eggs take 25 to 29 days to hatch, according to the U. S. Geological Survey website. Before she begins to incubate, she lays one egg a day, usually ending up with a clutch numbering about a dozen. Only after she's laid all the eggs does she begin to sit on the clutch, and that's when the 25-to-29-day incubation period begins. Laying Can Take Two Weeks Duck eggs are inert when laid. Their incubation period doesn't begin until they're under the warm body of the mother duck or surrogate, or in an incubator. Unless the weather turns freezing, with a bit of insulation the eggs will keep just fine and remain viable during the laying period. The laying period may take almost two weeks from the first egg to the last egg in the clutch. The duck lays her eggs and works on the nest each day, adding more material, including her down, to keep the eggs insulated from temperature changes. Incubation Takes About a Month By waiting until she has laid all the eggs before she sits on them, the mother duck ensures that they will hatch within a relatively short time frame."

"text": "1 Decide why you want to breed ducks. You may want to keep ducks as pets, for meat, for egg production or as an organic way of controlling pests in the garden. There are four main types of duck: domestic, dabbling, diving and sea ducks. Domestic ducks are the type most people choose for their needs. All breeds of domestic duck are descended from the common Mallard duck except the Muscovy duck. Non-domestic ducks, or “Wildfowl”, spend a long time on the water and will need their wings pinioned when they are very young or else they will fly off. They require a large pond or lake and are unlikely to tame.2 Consider call, cayuga, pekin, rouen or muscovy ducks if you want a pet. All of these breeds are visually appealing and make good pets. Call ducks are named for the noises they make so be careful of getting a call duck if you do not want to upset your neighbors. They are small and gray or white, and many people choose them for their smallness of size but they are good fliers and will need their wings clipped every so often."

Hamre Extension Animal Scientist, Poultry Department of Animal Science About 22 million ducks are raised annually in the United States. Most are produced under confinement on specialized duck farms in a few commercially important duck production areas. However, many farms still raise a few ducks primarily for family use or local sale. This publication is intended for the latter group. Ducks are raised primarily for meat. Although most breeds used are relatively poor layers, the flock should be managed to save the eggs produced for food purposes or hatching. The commercial duck industry is built around the Pekin breed. Pekins reach market weight early and are fairly good egg producers, but they are poor setters and seldom raise a brood. The Rouen is a popular farm flock breed. It is slower growing than the Pekin, but it reaches the same weight over the 5 to 6 month period of feeding and foraging under farm flock conditions."

As the popularity of keeping backyard hens rises, the notion of keeping a few ducks as well is always considered. And this is for great reason! Chickens and ducks both make great pets for the small urban back yard. With each type of bird alone, or even living together, you can find a happy balance with keeping both ducks and chickens in the same space. There are some basic considerations however before you mix the two types of birds. One of those considerations revolves around personalities of the birds themselves. You can help guarantee better harmony if you choose the breeds that are most likely going to make good roommates together, and settling on breeds will help guarantee this harmony better than shooting in the dark. Here are our suggestions for chicken and duck breeds that live well together in small yards and small spaces. When choosing chicken and duck breeds that will cohabitate, it’s best to settle on breeds that tend to be easy going in general."

Duck is actually a common name given to the species that belongs to the family of birds, Anatidae. Swans and geese also fall under the same category. These types of birds are generally found in the lake water or sea water. For the feeding purposes, ducks heavily rely on marine life such as aquatic plants, insects, small amphibians, worms and mollusks. Ducks have been categorized into different groups such as whistling ducks, teal ducks, and wood ducks. These are monogamous species and they breed only once in a year. Ducks build their nests before the breeding season starts. These birds are considered to be very caring and kind toward humans and they like to be approached. Ducks reside in almost all parts of the world except in Antarctica."

"text": "Raising Ducks: How To Raise Muscovy Ducks July 25, 2017 admin Uncategorized 0The Muscovy breed of ducks is not of a domestic lineage, but they are relatively easy to take care of at home. As pets, they are easy to raise and quick to learn. Their diets are easy to manage as they can source out plants as additional sources of food without additional expense. As to growth and development, raising Muscovies takes a little longer. They start off as eggs which are incubated at 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for as long as 35 days. Ducklings which hatch early in a mother’s nest are also quickly moved and heated in a duckling brooder. Muscovy ducks hate overcrowding when they are brooding and require more space as they grow bigger. Otherwise, they’ll get all irritable and noisy on you. They’re naturally slower to develop, gain weight, and feather compared to other ducks, so don’t be tempted to raise the temperature as it will only slow down the feathering. Temperature has to be gradually lowered until the young adjust to room temperature."

Answer by Cassandra Lifesnadir Confidence votes 36.0KWith my Registered Nurse background, I most enjoy helping people understand normal anatomy and body functions. Croup is from one of 4 panaflu viruses. It is primarily airborne but can live a little while on objects. It can live in the air several or more hours. Like other flus, it can find a new host to infect within hours to days (1 to 4 days on average). Symptoms can begin almost immediately (i.e. hours to a day) after coming into contact with a baby, child, teen, or adult who has croup. Active mostly from October to May, it spreads from person to person such as at school or anywhere that groups congregate. If you come into contact with anyone who has a \"\"barking cough\"\" you would do yourself a favor by putting distance between you, not shaking hands or hugging or kissing, and by washing your hands if you've touched any object that person touched (hand rails, door knobs, counter tops, etc)."

These birds were illegally released primarily by private individuals for ornamental purposes or as pets. Muscovy ducks can be extremely prolific and local populations can increase dramatically in a short time. As a result, controversies frequently arise between residents who enjoy the birds and residents who consider them a nuisance. Because this introduced, non-native species sometimes creates problems through competition with native species, damage to property, and transmission of disease, in 2010 the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service revised its regulations concerning muscovy ducks. Frequently Asked Questions Does FWC remove muscovy ducks? FWC does not remove nuisance muscovy ducks. Removal of ducks can be done by the landowner or by a hired nuisance wildlife trapper. More information is available below. Do I need a permit to possess muscovy ducks?"

Much of the information available on incubating and hatching chicken eggs can be applied to ducks, as long as the important differences between these two species are taken into account. Since duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, setting trays must be designed to accommodate their larger size. Eggs from common ducks like Pekins require 28 days to hatch. Eggs from Muscovy ducks hatch in about 35 days after setting. When larger numbers of duck eggs are to be hatched, large commercial incubators (setters) and hatchers are normally used. Pekin duck eggs are kept in a setter for 25 days and then transferred on the 25th day to a hatcher where they remain until they hatch on the 28th day. Eggs are automatically turned while in the setter (usually hourly). It is not necessary to turn eggs in the hatcher."

The females of this duck species are known for being good brooders and protective mothers, so many owners have their ducks do the setting rather than incubating the eggs artificially. Corine de Wit of Reva, Va., began raising ducklings of this species in the 1970s, when she lived in what is now called the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. De Wit, who keeps about 50 Muscovies, says that the mama Muscovy does such an excellent job, it’s just not worth it to pull the eggs. After hatchings occur, you should take care that the baby ducks receive extra protection from predators that may include crows, weasels, dogs and even Muscovy drakes. “"

Popularly, the term mushroom is used to identify the edible sporophores; the term toadstool is often reserved for inedible or poisonous sporophores. There is, however, no scientific distinction between the two names, and either can be properly applied to any fleshy fungus fruiting structure. In a very restricted sense, mushroom indicates the common edible fungus of fields and meadows ( Agaricus campestris ).

People are perplexed when they find a yellow foamy mass that looks like the neighbor’s dog vomited in their flower garden. Or when their nice white sided house is suddenly speckled with tiny black spots that will not come off no matter which cleaning agent they use or how hard they scrub. Or noticing the sudden eruption of very ‘interestingly shaped’ mushrooms popping up through the mulch. No, these are not the work of garden fairies and a miniature landscape construction crew, but the result of fungus hard at work. All of the above named structures are the fruiting bodies of naturally occurring fungus. These are decomposers doing their job in life, rotting natural organic material, breaking it down into its basic chemical form. This is composting. The mulch most commonly used in our yards is dead wood and/or bark material chopped or shredded into a uniform size. We use it to keep the weeds from sprouting, to maintain a constant temperature of the soil and to retain moisture in soil."

Answer by Michaelalanlee Confidence votes 6.5KShort Answer: The fruiting body or fruit body in fungi is called the sporocarp. Details: When most people see a sporocarp they call this a mushroom, but this fleshy fruiting body is only the visible part of the living organism that is popular for eating. The fruiting body only develops as part of the asexual phase of the fungal life cycle for spore production. To get more specific about the body parts of a mushroom, the fruiting body of the most common mushrooms have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae). Indeed, since we are getting technical about it, there are two kinds of sporocarp that most people recognize. The typical toadstool mushroom is a basidiomycete and the sporocarp is a basidiocarp or basidiome. Both the popular morel mushroom and the truffle are of the type known as an ascomycete and the fruiting body is an ascocarp .6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

As the drawing at the right indicates, the name \"\"club fungi\"\" derives from the fact that in this group spores, more technically known as basidiospores , are produced on microscopic, club-like structures called basidia (singular basidium ). In fact, in technical texts this group is usually referred to as the Basidiomycetes or Basidiomycota .. Basidia cover part of the fungus's reproductive structures. In gilled mushrooms (one is illustrated below), the gills are covered with them. The above diagram shows a cross section of such a gill. Basidospores detach from the basidia and drift down out of the gills, and then are dispersed on wind currents. Basidia occur elsewhere on the fruiting bodies of non-gilled fungi.

We hear much less of fungus-animal symbiosis and usually think of such relationship only as one of host-parasitic relationship. However, the true relationship between fungi and animals are often not known. One of the most important drives that may lead to such a relationship is the inability of animals to digest cellulose. When you think of herbivores, such as horses, sheep, cows, goats, etc., they do not actually have the ability to digest the cellulose from the plant material that they consume. Instead, they have symbiotic bacteria, in their stomach, that have the enzymes that digest the cellulose in the plant material for them. Other animals do not carry microorganisms in their gut, but rather consume mycelium in well-decomposed plant material as their source of food. Thus, symbiotic relationships between animals and various microorganisms are probably commonplace."

The fruit bodies are secotioid, meaning the spores are not forcibly discharged, and the cap does not fully expand. Unlike other Agaricus species, A. texensis does not develop true gills, but rather a convoluted and networked system of spore-producing tissue called a gleba. When the partial veil breaks or pulls away from the stem or the cap splits radially, the blackish-brown gleba is exposed to the elements.

"text": "by braddy Jul 18, 2017 Blog Comments Off on What Causes Conks And Mushrooms On Trees When mushrooms or conks, also called a bract or shelf, grow on tree bark, it is usually a sign that the tree is infected with a rot-inducing pathogen. While not all mushrooms are harmful to trees, many are. They cause heart decay, which causes healthy trees to begin to rot at the heart of the trunk. These fungi enter the tree at wound areas, which are caused by improper pruning, lightning strikes, windstorms, fire, construction, or other means of tree damage. The decay fungi will reproduce through fruiting bodies, or conks, that develop in old wounds, cracks in the bark, or old branch stubs. These fruiting bodies produce spores that are spread to other trees by means of animals, insects, water, or wind. These spores find a new home in a tree wound, thereby spreading the fungi all around. There are several kinds of heart rot that include white rot, brown rot, soft rot, and varnish rot. Some are more damaging to the tree, some are less. Preventing tree wounds is the best defense against any of the various heart rots infecting your trees."

The standard for the name \"\"mushroom\"\" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word \"\"mushroom\"\" is most often applied to those fungi ( Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem ( stipe ), a cap ( pileus ), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. \"\" Mushroom\"\" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota."

Flag What is the difference between a beaver and a muskrat? Answer by Atdog98 Confidence votes 90Both live near and in water however a beaver is much larger than a muskrat. An adult beaver typically weighs between 40 and 60 pounds. An adult muskrat typically weighs only 2 to 5 pounds. While a beaver has a broad flat tail a muskrat has a thinner more ratlike tail. The muskrat tail actually has some flatness, but vertical like a boat rudder. Muskrats do not cut down trees. Muskrats and beaver are the only mammals that build their home in the water, but the muskrat lodge is smaller. They often dig dens into the bank; again the muskrat opening is smaller."

The temperatures will decrease slowly throughout the months because the side of the earth that it is on is turning away from the sun. The average temperature of a freshwater wetland in summer is 76 degrees Fahrenheit. The average temperature in winter is 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The climate in freshwater wetlands is usually semitropical, as freezing conditions rarely occur. The freshwater wetlands keep this temperature because of the amount of Co2 around them. The Wetlands like swamps or bogs are one of the major storage units for Co2. Symbiosis Commensalism: is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits without affecting the other. An example of this is the relationship between the Monarch butterfly and the toxic milk weed."

Tularemia is a disease caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis),which is found in habitats limited to the Northern hemisphere. The bacteria are commonly found in rabbits, but can also be found in other small mammals such as muskrats, beavers, voles, some domesticated animals (dogs, cats, hamsters) and exotic animals (monkeys, prairie dogs). The bacteria are most commonly spread to humans through the bite of an infected tick, and less commonly from the deer fly ( Chrysops discalis ). In Oklahoma, the ticks associated with tularemia include the dog tick ( Dermacentor variabilis) and the lone star tick ( Amblyomma americanum ). Tularemia can be transmitted to humans via the skin when handling infected animal tissue. In particular, this can occur when hunting or skinning infected rabbits, muskrats, prairie dogs and other rodents. Many other animals have also been known to become ill with tularemia. Domestic cats are very susceptible to tularemia and have been known to transmit the bacteria to humans. Care should be taken when handling any sick or dead animal."

"text": "\"Fur Trade Facts Each year, more than 1 billion rabbits and 50 million other animals -- including foxes, seals, mink and dogs -- are raised on fur farms or trapped in the wild and killed for their pelts. Because much of the fur is imported from China and other countries with poor regulation, it is often mislabeled as \"\"faux.\"\" Depending on the size of the garment, up to 100 animals or more may be killed for a single coat. Farm Conditions The vast majority of animals killed for fur are raised on farms and kept in deplorable conditions. Mink and foxes are naturally wild animals and do not adapt to life in captivity. Wild mink instinctively range a territory of approximately 741 acres in size. In contrast, ranch-raised mink are confined to a 12” by 18” cage. This type of intensive confinement can result in self-mutilation, cannibalism, and high-level stress that weakens the immune system and makes animals more susceptible to disease. Approximately 30% of mink herds raised on Utah fur farms carry Aleutian disease (AD). Currently, there is no treatment, vaccine or cure for this highly infectious disease, resulting in the mortality of about 20% of the herd annually."

The headwaters, which begin at the base of the Appalachian Trail, carry the river through the Chattahoochee National Forest. From there the river flows south and west through Atlanta. When it reaches the Alabama state line, it flows south until it merges with the Flint River. Those two rivers eventually form the Apalachicola, which dumps into the Apalachicola Bay in the Gulf. When the Chattahoochee first formed, it was a warm-water stream for much of its length, incapable of sustaining trout below the Blue Ridge mountains. The completion of the Buford Dam in 1956 forever changed the river, however. The most notable change was the establishment of the Chattahoochee as a cold-water stream south of the dam. The dam, which pulls water out of Lake Lanier, releases cold water. With that change, many species of wildlife could no longer survive there."

Then one day we ventured into the wilderness beyond the golf course. We negotiated the thickets and on the other side of the ridge we saw a huge animal sleeping in a tree that reminded us of pictures we'd seen of great sloths. We were so excited we asked the director of the Nature Center on the Island, Bob Wakefield, to identify the animal. Though he probably knew exactly what we saw, he was so impressed with our excitement and Leslie's drawing of the \"\"sloth\"\" that he hiked out to the tree with us and did allow that it was one of the biggest porcupines he had ever seen. Over the years I've seen countless porcupines up in the trees, and I wish I could say that I know a great deal more about them than I did back in1970, but I really don't. Porcupines are god-like and there is a great deal about them that seems unknowable and ineffable. I simply take on faith that when a porcupine climbs up a leafless tree in the teeth of brisk wind on a below zero day that it knows what it is doing. Let me hasten to add that many who study porcupines don't have so many doubts. Porcupines are slow animals and evidently once you hone your technique and invest in thick gloves, you can grab its tail, cage it, give it a shot, strap on a radio collar, and do proper scientific studies on it."

Wetlands and Nature Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish and mammals can be part of a wetland ecosystem. Climate, landscape shape (topology), geology and the movement and abundance of water help to determine the plants and animals that inhabit each wetland.

He’s been cooking for hours already, and in less than 40 minutes, he’s expecting more than 200 guests to arrive. It’s the second day of labor; yesterday, he spent all day cleaning the muskrats. Preparing muskrat is a fine art: If you don’t properly remove the animal’s musk gland, it can leave a foul flavor that can wreck the whole meal. But the hard part is over, and now, Willis is at ease. He even offers up his family’s recipe. “We parboil them whole, and then throw in some spice and onions,” he says. “ Once they’re done like this, then we’ll fry ’em in butter and garlic.

Within the marshes and sloughs of this spacious 28,000-acre wetland, tens of thousands of cacophonous dabbling and diving ducks stop to feed during their spring migration late April through May. Pintails, mallards, green-winged teal and wigeon can be seen along Cottonwood Creek near the west side of the refuge. Diving ducks like canvasback, lesser scaup, and the common goldeneye also are seen in spring on the hay flats. Listen for the familiar honking of the Canada goose during spring and fall migrations. Three species of geese can be seen in these wetlands - the lesser Canada, greater white-fronted, and snow goose. Also watch for the bright white of trumpeter and tundra swans' wings standing out against the natural brown and green backdrop of the refuge. The refuge's marshy areas interspersed with spruce trees attract moose, especially in the spring during calving. Winter also brings these 800-1200 pound animals into the open as they look for food. Driving the Glenn Highway through the refuge, it is not uncommon to see a \"\"herd\"\" of moose foraging within the expansive flats. A loud splash of water from one of the waterways might be a large salmon, but it’s more likely one of the abundant muskrats that feed on the roots and stems of marsh cattails, sedges, and grass."

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

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Collard Greens In a 2011 study by the Economic Research Service at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, collard greens turned out to be cheaper than many of their fellow cruciferous vegetables in terms of average U. S. price per edible cup (chopped and cooked). Cauliflower florets, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli florets, and kale showed up as being more expensive than collard greens after being trimmed to their edible portion and cooked. Among the cruciferous vegetables, only cabbage turned out to be less expensive than collard greens on a per cup basis (chopped and cooked). The affordable nature of collard greens is great news in terms of nutrition, since this cruciferous vegetable achieves 6 rankings of excellent, 4 rankings of very good, and 11 rankings of good in our WHFoods rating system!In a study on indigenous vegetable intake in the southeastern United States, collard greens were determined to provide the 4th greatest amount of antioxidant capacity related to overall dietary intake among 12 nutrient-rich foods in the study. In these research findings, collard greens ranked 4th behind sweet potato greens, mustard greens, and kale. Alongside of the four nutrient-rich greens listed above, this regional study also examined the antioxidant contributions of purple hull peas, rutabagas, eggplant, purslane, butter beans, butter peas, and green onions. Intake of collard greens has long been known to have the capacity to lower blood cholesterol levels, including blood levels of LDL cholesterol. But a recent study on cruciferous vegetables has taken our understanding of collards and cholesterol to a new level. In this study, researchers focused on the ability of fiber-like components in vegetables to bind together with bile acids. ( When bound together with fiber-like components, bile acids are more readily excreted from our body, and following their excretion, our cells break apart some cholesterol into its component bile acids as a way of replacing the bound bile acids that got excreted."

Although all vegetables have nutrients and some protective powers, for these vegetables, it’s off the charts. Cruciferous vegetables have a special chemical composition: They have sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for their pungent flavors. When they’re broken down by biting, blending, or chopping, a chemical reaction occurs that converts these sulfur-containing compounds into isothiocyanates (ITCs). ITCs prevent and knock out cancer and have infinite proven immune-boosting capabilities. They contain antiviral and antibacterial agents that keep you disease free. Adding the following cruciferous vegetables to your daily plate is like taking an anticancer pill: arugula, beet greens, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, radishes, red cabbage, turnip greens, or watercress.

"text": "Health Benefits of Cauliflower (White, Purple and Yellow Varieties)Everyone is familiar with the white cauliflower, but there are purple, orange, and yellow cauliflower varieties, too. Although all these cultivars have some nutritional characteristics in common, they also show some interesting differences when it comes to cauliflower's health benefits. Purple cauliflower, for example, gets its rich purple color from anthocyanins, flavonoid pigments that also give red cabbage, purple carrots, and many berries their purplish hues – and their extraordinary health benefits. Yellow and orange cauliflower varieties, on the other hand, get their bright colors from carotenoids, vital nutrients that help keep your skin, mucous membranes, and eyes healthy. To learn al about how eating white, yellow, and purple cauliflower florets can boost your health, keep reading. Step Up Your Vitamin C Levels with Cauliflower When we think of vitamin C, we typically think of citrus fruit such as lemons or navel oranges. But also many cruciferous vegetables contain significant levels, and cauliflower is one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin C among cruciferous vegetables. With 46 milligrams of vitamin C per a 100-gram serving, cauliflower outshines crucifers like red cabbage, broccoli rabe, Chinese broccoli, bok choy, turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, and savoy cabbage in terms of vitamin C content. Vitamin C is perhaps best known for its immune-boosting properties, but the vitamin C in cauliflower can also help keep your skin, bones, and teeth strong and healthy. To get the most vitamin C out of your cauliflower dishes, only buy cauliflower that looks fresh – cauliflower that's been in the grocery store for several days contains significantly less vitamin C than freshly harvested produce."

You may already know this if you have hypothyroidism, which is when your body does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Low levels of this hormone affect your metabolism and energy levels and may also have an impact on your weight. While vegetables are usually encouraged when struggling to control weight, you may need to think twice before loading up on collard greens when you have hypothyroidism. Talk to your doctor about collards and your health before making changes to your diet. Collards and Your Thyroid Collards are a cruciferous vegetable. These types of vegetables are rich in nutrients, and high intakes are associated with lower risk of both lung and colon cancer, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. While cruciferous vegetables like collards make a healthy addition to your diet under most circumstances, these vegetables naturally release a compound called goitrin when broken down by your digestive system.

Native to the Mediterranean, these unassuming greens were one of the easily transported foods that made it to England and France before the Common Era. They were mentioned not only by 17th century American colonists (where they may have already have been growing wild before they arrived), but also in the historical accounts of ancient Greek and Romans, who got the vegetable from medieval Celts traveling into Europe. Collard greens are one of several cruciferous vegetables, along with broccoli and cabbage. Sometimes, kale and collard green references were interchangeable, whether the leaves were lighter or darker, or the leaves flat or curly. To be specific, they look a bit like non-heading cabbage heads, with large, medium to dark green leaves, prominent veins, and a flavor that’s a bit stronger than spinach. While they grow in many areas of the country year round, they proliferate in warmer climates. Smaller collard greens leaves are more tender and sweet. They can be boiled, braised, and sautéed.

Two varieties of turnips (and turnip greens)—Topper and Alamo—were analyzed in the study. Not only were both varieties found to be rich in beta-carotene and lutein (two well-studied and health-supportive carotenoids), but both varieties were also found to have significant concentrations of these carotenoids in both their upper and lower leaves.

(Our Vitamin A nutrient profile will provide you with more detailed information and carotenoids and vitamin A. )Glucosinolates are unique sulfur-containing nutrients that are well known for their link to cancer prevention as well as their ability to support detox processes within our cells. While turnip greens, like most cruciferous vegetables, are rich in glucosinolates, recent studies on turnip greens suggest that they may be unique among their fellow cruciferous vegetables in terms of their specific glucosinolate composition. These studies show that the most plentiful glucosinolate in turnip greens is gluconapin, followed by a second glucosinolate called glucobrassicanapin. These particular glucosinolates give scientists reasons to think about turnip greens (and turnips) as being more closely linked to Brassica family plants like rapeseed (which is the source of canola oil) than to broccoli or other members of this vegetable group. Although more research is needed to flesh out the health significance of the unique glucosinolate mixture in turnip greens, this new information is one more reason to consider adding turnip greens to your meal plan as a unique food in its potential for nutrient support.

As with any controversial topic, it’s best to evaluate the potential risks and benefits. Although studies are inconclusive, I believe the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in cruciferous vegetables make them an indispensable part of a healthy diet. Thyroid health is crucial for a well-functioning body. Your metabolism, moods, and even aging processes are all affected by your thyroid gland. Because an imbalance in one bodily system causes imbalances in the others, there is no part of you that functions optimally when your thyroid is over- or underactive. Though thyroid disease is generally considered idiopathic (of unknown cause) by most conventional doctors, in functional medicine we know that one or a combination of these factors are to blame: leaky gut, nutrient deficiencies, an inflammatory diet (particularly gluten ), your toxic burden, infections, and stress. If you have thyroid dysfunction I believe that by definition you also have a gluten sensitivity. Gluten shares a similar molecular structure to many of our own tissues, and this causes our body to mistakenly attack itself in a process known as molecular mimicry."

"text": "A: Social Security survivor benefits for children are considered taxable income only for the children who are entitled to receive them, even if the checks are made out to a parent or guardian. Most children do not make enough in a year to owe any taxes. However, survivor benefits are taxed if half of the child's benefits in a year, added to any other income the child earns in the year, is enough to require him or her to file a tax return and pay taxes. If half of the annual benefits plus the child's other income exceeds a base amount determined by the IRS ($25,000 in 2018), then a portion of the benefits is taxable. Most checks for Social Security survivor benefits are made out to an adult, such as a parent, on the child's behalf. The amount of the benefits does not affect the income tax of the parent. If both the parent and the child receive benefits, the amount designated for the eligible child is subtracted from the check to determine the parent's tax liability. The child receiving the benefits may still be considered a dependent for tax purposes if he or she lives with the parent for more than half the year and the parent pays for more than half of his or her living expenses, such as food, housing, clothing, education and medical care. Social Security benefits are reported to the IRS. The recipient of the benefits receives an SSA-1099 form in January, including amounts of all benefits received during the previous year."

That mean that it is pulled from your income before social security, medicare, state and federal taxes are calculated. The reduction of pre-tax income can also make other deductions possible if it keeps your annual taxable income low enough, this really only impacts a few people, and would be considered a bonus benefit. Bottom line for most people pre-tax payments results in a higher take home pay. The only reason I could find to make your health insurance premiums post-tax would be because that keeps your wages high when calculating monthly income for social security benefits. This would only impact people who were either near retirement, or were close to not making enough money in a quarter to potentially not get credit for the quarter."

"text": "When you receive your Social Security benefits, you do not have to pay FICA taxes on the amount you receive, but you may have to include the benefits as part of your taxable income for the year when you file your federal income tax return. Knowing how much you can make before having to pay taxes helps you plan your income for the year to avoid the taxes or to budget for the income taxes on your benefits. Combined Income Limits Part of your Social Security becomes taxable when your combined income for the year exceeds the annual limits for your filing status. As of 2011, when you file as single, none of your Social Security benefits are taxable if your combined income falls below $25,000. Half of your benefits may be taxable when your combined income falls between $25,000 and $34,000, and up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable when your combined income exceeds $34,000. When you file a joint return, none of your Social Security benefits are taxable if your combined income falls below $32,000. Half of your benefits may be taxable when your combined income falls between $32,000 and $44,000, and up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable when your combined income exceeds $44,000. Calculating Your Combined Income For the purposes of figuring your Social Security benefit taxability, you need to figure your combined income from your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest and Social Security benefits. Divide your Social Security benefits by 2 and add the result to your adjusted gross income plus any nontaxable interest. For example, if you have $12,000 in Social Security benefits, $10,000 in adjusted gross income and $1,000 in nontaxable interest, divide $12,000 by 2 to get $6,000 and add $6,000 plus $10,000 plus $1,000 to find your combined income equals $17,000."

"text": "Do I have to pay tax on my Social Security? Kay Bell May 15, 2017 in Retirement Jeff Schultz/Getty Images Social Security comes from the government, so it might seem weird for Uncle Sam to put his hand out and demand a portion of your benefits back — in the form of taxes. But that happens. Generally, if Social Security is your only income, your benefits are not taxable, and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return. But there are times when the Internal Revenue Service might indeed want a piece of your Social Security, depending on your total income and marital status. Avoid tax surprises that might force you to dip into your retirement savings. How to know if you owe tax Retirees should receive Form SSA-1099 from the Social Security Administration by the end of January or in early February. The form will show your total benefits, including monthly survivor and disability benefits, but not supplemental security income payments, which are not taxable. If you collect other income in addition to Social Security, you could owe taxes on at least a portion of your government benefits. For a quick computation of your potential tax liability, add one-half of your Social Security benefits to all your other income."

Up to 85% of the benefits you receive may be taxable to you, depending on the amounts of other income you receive during the year.

If you are using a tax software program, the amount is calculated for you. According to the Social Security Administration, approximately 5 million widows and widowers receive benefits based on their deceased spouse’s earnings record, and it also pays more benefits to children than any other federal program.

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Mar 19, 2017 at 7:07AMMany Americans work throughout their lives, paying Social Security taxes to help fund the key retirement benefits program. Most of them figure that the taxes they pay toward those benefits should entitle them to their benefits without any further tax. Yet the IRS does impose income tax on Social Security benefits in some circumstances, and it's important to incorporate those taxes into your decision-making process about when to claim your Social Security. Who has to pay income taxes on their Social Security? Social Security benefits haven't always been taxable. Until the early 1980s, the IRS didn't collect income tax on anyone's benefits, but reform efforts at that time that were aimed at trying to ensure the long-term financial stability of the Social Security program included provisions that imposed some income tax liability on some taxpayers' benefits to increase overall program revenue. Image source: Getty Images. The key to whether you have to pay income tax on any of your Social Security benefits is your modified income. In order to come up with that number, you first need to take any outside income you have other than Social Security benefits, including work income; interest, dividends, and taxable gains from investments; municipal bond interest; and other income sources such as taxable pensions or rental income. Once you've added those numbers up, you then divide your total Social Security benefits for the year by two and then add the result to the total from other income sources."

"text": "Mortgage burnings used to be a ritual that families hoped to be lucky enough to perform. But times have changed. Now, growing older andretiring still includes another ritual: paying monthly on a mortgage. As they head down the road toward retirement, many people are asking themselves: Should I use part of my nest egg to pay off the mortgage and gain a sense of security? Or should I leave my nest egg intact where it’s earning interest and let my mortgage continue to provide me with a tax deduction? If you decide to keep your mortgage in retirement, you won’t be alone. In 2004, 32 percent of households headed by someone age 65 to 74 were carrying home mortgage debt, and nearly 20 percent of households headed by those 75 and older had a mortgage, according to the triennial Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances conducted in 2004. About 25 percent of those of any age who considered themselves retired had a mortgage. Is carrying a mortgage into the sunset something most people should seek to avoid? Or does holding onto a mortgage make financial sense, especially when rates are low and it is possible to earn a large enough return on money invested to pay the mortgage and still have a significant gain."

"text": "\"A: The average Social Security disability benefit amount for a recipient of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in 2018 is $1,197 per month, but a beneficiary can receive either less than this or up to $2,788. These benefits are based on average lifetime earnings, not on household income or how severe the individual's disability is. If you've kept your annual Social Security statement, you can find what you are likely to receive in the Estimated Benefits section. The total amount a disabled worker and his or her family can receive is about 150% to 180% of the disabled worker's benefit. Eligible family members can include a spouse, divorced spouse, children, a disabled child and/or an adult child disabled before age 22. What Are Social Security Disability Benefits? Social Security disability benefits come from payroll deductions required by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) to cover the cost of Social Security benefits such as retirement, spousal and survivors' benefits. Some of this funding goes into the Disability Insurance Trust Fund and pays for disability benefits. According to the Social Security website, to qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must have worked a certain length of time in jobs covered by Social Security. Generally, you need 40 credits, 20 of which were earned in the last 10 years, ending with the year you became disabled."

Those who love it describe its highly colored shiny leaves, its brilliant red berries, drought tolerance, winter interest, and multiple landscape uses. Those who hate it describe its toxicity and invasiveness. Nandina, grown in USDA hardiness zones 5-10, is a broadleaf evergreen in zones 8-10, and is evergreen in my zone 7 garden in Bedford. It is in the Berberidaceae family. Despite its common name, heavenly bamboo, it is not a bamboo, but an evergreen shrub growing 3-9 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. There are many dwarf varieties that range from 1 1/2 to 3 foot tall. Its glossy leaves are brightly colored pink to red in early spring, turning green in summer, then red or purple in fall. The flowers are white, appearing in early summer in clusters. The fruit is bright red berries appearing in late fall and persisting throughout winter."

The Rare Flower's side effect will even lure skittish dinos like the Phiomia or Tapejara; which can make some tames easier."

"text": "\"All Kinds of Nightshade\"\"Deadly nightshade:\"\" a name that makes me glad for Latin nomenclature Purple flower Easy post, I thought. Just write about the deadly nightshade. I happened to be thinking about the perennial, semi-woody, weedy vine that lurks along my property boundaries, and climbs up through the links of the fence. It can grow to six feet and the leaves have distinctive “ears” at the base. Its purple flowers bloom in summer, and the berries ripen to an alluring red. Warned as a child not to eat the berries or leaves, I've been pulling it my entire gardening life. A little research informed me that this plant is also called bittersweet nightshade, or Solanum dulcamara. Red, toxic berries Bittersweet nightshade belongs to the Solanaceae, or Nightshade, family. Famous relatives among the Solanaceae include eggplants ( Solanum melongena L. ), potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L. ), and tomatoes ( Lycopersicon esculentum ). In this case, the species name, dulcamara, supposedly refers to the berries’ taste, which the toxin causes to be bitter and then sweet."

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

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

These safety tips can help keep the holidays safe and joyful. Food Preparations Prepare as much of the holiday meals and/or party foods as far in advance as possible. Thaw turkey and other meats in the refrigerator in the original wrapper for 3 or 4 days. If faster thawing is needed, immerse in cold water and change the water every 60 minutes. DO NOT use turkeys that have been defrosted and refrozen. Salmonella bacteria are often present in turkey, even when frozen. Wash hands, knives, and cutting boards after working with raw meats to reduce the chances of spreading the bacteria to uncooked foods.

"text": "\"Home »Produce Are Tomatoes Nightshade Plants? By Dannah Swift; Updated September 21, 2017The Nightshade family is known to have some very toxic plants among its members. The tomato fruit was once believed to be toxic, though this fear has been dispelled, and tomatoes are commonly used in cooking. The most poisonous members of the nightshade family probably pose more of a threat to livestock than to humans. Nightshade Family (Solonaceae)The Nightshade family is broad and among its members are some quite poisonous plants. The tomato is closely related to the genus, Solanum, but its toxic properties are not that severe. Other members of the nightshade family include tobacco, deadly nightshade, mandrake and deadly datura. Other plants in the family are bittersweet nightshade, black nightshade, horse/bull nettle and silverleaf nightshade. With the exception of silverleaf nightshade, the green berries of these plants are very toxic if eaten, while silverleaf's ripe berries are toxic. Tomato's Toxic History The tomato, because of its poisonous relatives, was considered to be a poisonous plant up until the 1800s."

Every one came up blank with plants that could be poisonous to pond fish. No study, at least that I could find, has ever been done. So here is what I did. I compiled a list of all poisonous plants. My thinking is that if you have a pond, small children and pets, fish, dogs or cats, then you need to be aware of plants that are fatal/toxic/poisonous in, near, around your pond or landscaped yard. I am very interested in this topic personally, so what I would like you to do is if you have first hand knowledge, that by eating a plant that your fish died, email me."

However, the roots that lie underground are the true source of its most vicious power. The mandrake’s occult power, thus, is associated with the humanoid form of its root. ALL parts of the Mandrake root are POISONOUS, so ingestion of the raw root itself is to be STRONGLY AVOIDED, as it is toxic. The roots are large and brown, running three to four feet into the ground. The roots contain bifurcations, meaning they “divide into branches,” “two-pronged,” or are “forked,” from the Medieval Latin word bifurcatus. In other words, the roots are both thick and divided into two branches, which causes them to look like human figures. Thus, Mandrake is best known for the large, brown root resembling a carrot that splits about midway into two distinctive branches, which look something like legs. Ancient civilizations associated the bifurcated, hairy root that appeared to be a little devilish human person with curing demonic possession, and for love potions because it resembled a male sexual organ. The mandrake root was also widely believed to shriek when it was pulled from the ground, so loudly, in fact, that its screams would kill anyone who heard it."

Nandina domestica is a semi-evergreen broad-leaved shrub which is known for its interesting display of bamboo-looking foliage. Creamy-white flowers in spring are followed by pink fruit that matures to bright red berries in winter along with colorful foliage that changes from green to shades of pink and yellow on outer branches. Nandina grows to a height of 6-8 feet and width 2-4 feet and is ideal for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, informal and natural settings. Nandina is deciduous only in very cold climates where temperatures fall below -10 degrees. It is semi-evergreen in zones 6-9 and evergreen in zones 8-10. Nandina domestica thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers to be grown in a moist well-drained soil. Nandina domestica (Late Spring)Nandina is a low maintenance shrub only requiring occasional pruning once a year to control height and maintain fullness. Several dwarf cultivars of Nandina have also been produced. Two of the nicer varieties are Nandina 'Gulf Stream' which grows to a height of 4 feet tall and 'Firepower' which reaches a maximum height of 2 feet tall. '"

Its main use is within food supplements developed for weight management, also known as 'fat burners'. Traditional formulations with higenamine have been used for thousands of years within Chinese medicine and come from a variety of sources including fruit and orchids. There are no studies comparing the safety of modern formulations (based on synthetic higenamine) with traditional formulations. Nevertheless, it will not be added to the EU 'novel foods' catalogue, which details all food supplements that require a safety assessment certificate before use. [ 1]Along with many other β 2agonists, higenamine is prohibited by World Anti-Doping Agency for use in sports. [ 2] In 2016, French footballer Mamadou Sakho was temporarily banned by UEFA after testing positive for Higenamine causing the player to miss the 2016 Europa League final. The ban was lifted after the player successfully made the mitigating defence that there was an absence of significant negligence as the substance was not on the list of banned substances despite drugs of the same category – β 2 agonists – being banned.

From difficulty breathing to headaches, from post-surgical nasal drip to depression - there is more to rhinoplasty than aesthetics. Understanding The Structure Of The Nose To understand how the appearance of the nose is changed from within or to alleviate functionality problems, one must understand how the external nose is supported and what must be done to the underlying nasal structure in order to achieve these desires and goals. One must also realize that changing one thing can, in turn, change another or at least affect it in some way. This must always be taken into account so it is very important to find a highly skilled surgeon to carry out your surgery. Revision Rhinoplasty should be carried out to improve matters and not to worsen them. The Nose According To A Genius - Henry Gray (1821–1865)Henry Gray, a legend in his own time, author of Anatomy of the Human Body - explains the human anatomy piece by piece, cell by cell, function by function. It is Henry Gray that I believe can best explain the structure of the nose with the aid of his extraordinary engravings. I will include additional visual aids, in plain English, to assist you in your understanding of the nose. * You will more than likely need our Online Rhinoplasty Glossary to translate the terminology used."

"text": "Anatomy The sphenopalatine ganglion is a parasympathetic ganglion that is superficially-located, triangularly-shaped, and no more than 5mm in size. It is located in the pterygopalatine fossa, posterior to the middle nasal turbinate, and anterior to the pterygoid canal. The sphenopalatine ganglion is covered by approximately 1- to 1.5mm-thick layer of connective tissue and mucous membrane which allows its block to be performed either topically or by injection. The sphenopalatine ganglion sends nerve fibers to the lacrimal gland, glands of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, palate, and upper pharynx. It “is classified as a parasympathetic ganglion because only pre-ganglionic parasympathetic axons are believed to synapse within the ganglion. ”Post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons as well as somatic sensory afferent branches of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve also pass through the ganglion, though they do not terminate there. Nonetheless, both the postganglionic parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons and the somatic sensory afferents can be all inhibited by performing a sphenopalatine block. Procedure There are many approaches your physician can use to perform the sphenopalatine ganglion block, including the transnasal, transoral, and lateral approach. The transnasal approach is the simplest and most common technique among the three. You will be asked to lie down on your back and extend your neck into a sniffing position."

By Edwin A. Ernest, III, DMD, FAANa OSPage 1 of 2The autonomic features often found to often be a part of the pain complex associated with the sphenopalatine ganglion tend to confound the clinician attempting to diagnose the reason for the patient’s headache that is typically described as a dull ache. Commonly, the person suffering pain associated with the sphenopalatine ganglion also has dental symptoms, characterized as aching tooth or teeth, with the adjacent gum tissue hurting as well. This paper will describe the neuroanatomy and signs and symptoms common to the disorder, and suggests testing of the ganglion when there is headache and/or dental pain that is otherwise undiagnosed. Neuroanatomy The sphenopalatine ganglion—also known as pteryopalatine ganglion, Meckel’s ganglion, Sluter’s ganglion and nasal ganglion—is the largest of the four parasympathetic ganglia associated with the trigeminal nerve and consists of the largest collection of neurons in the head outside of the brain and is the only ganglion exposed to the environment via the nasal mucosa. It is found in the pteryopalatine fossa behind the middle turbinate of the nose and is noted to be triangular in shape. The ganglion is located just below the maxillary nerve as the maxillary nerve crosses the fossa. The sphenopalatine ganglion receives three nerve roots: the sensory root from the sphenopalatine branches of the maxillary nerve, the motor root derived from the nervus intermedius which is a part of the facial nerve through the greater petrosal nerve, and the sympathetic root, which consists of sympathetic postganglionic (efferent) fibers from the superior cervical ganglion (see Figure 1).

The conchae are shaped like an elongated seashell, which gave them their name (Latin concha from Greek κόγχη ). A turbinate bone is any of the scrolled spongy bones of the nasal passages in vertebrates. [ 1]In humans, the turbinates divide the nasal airway into 4 groove-like air passages, and are responsible for forcing inhaled air to flow in a steady, regular pattern around the largest possible surface area of nasal mucosa. As a ciliated mucous membrane with shallow blood supply, the nasal mucosa cleans and warms the inhaled air in preparation for the lungs. A rapidly dilating arteriolar circulation to these bones may lead to a sharp increase in the pressure within, in response to acute cooling of the body core. The pain from this pressure is often referred to as \"\" brain freeze \"\", and is frequently associated with the rapid consumption of ice cream. The shallowness of the venous blood supply of the mucosa contributes to the ease with which nosebleed can occur."

The respiratory system is responsible for important secondary functions as well. These include vocalization (speech), or the production of sound as air passes over the vocal cords; assistance with abdominal compression that occurs during micturition (urination), defecation, and parturition (childbirth); and the natural reflexes of coughing and sneezing, which assure that the respiratory system is kept clean.respiratory tract The respiratory tract begins at the lips and nostrils and ends at the lungs.

Respiration An involuntary process controlled by the brain, and it consists of two basic functions: ventilation and diffusion. Ventilation This is the process of breathing in and out. a. Inspiration: Inspiration occurs when the diaphragm (the musculomembranous partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities and the major inspiratory muscle) moves to create a slight vacuum in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and draw air from the airway inward to the lungs. b. Expiration: At the end of this cycle expiration occurs. This is when the chest wall relaxes and the lungs contract to expel air. During a very deep inspiration, the capacity of the chest cavity is maximized."

Mucous membranes are not skin, and skin is not a mucous membrane, they are two separate things and the walls of the vagina just happen to be mucous membranes (just like the inside of the mouth) while the labia minora happen to be made of skin.

As well as being vital for transport of gases to the lower respiratory tract, the nasal cavity is also the site for one of the special senses - Olfaction . Structure The nose consists of the external nares with nasal cartilages, the nasal cavity (including the nasal meatus and conchae), and the paranasal sinuses . Nasal cavity The nasal cavity is essentially a tube with a wall established by several bones of the skull. The borders of the nasal cavity are as follows: Caudal: The cribrifrom plate of the ethmoid bone . Ventral: Continuous with the nasopharynx. Dorsal: The maxilla and the palatine processes of the incisive bone . Rostrally, the median septum is a continuation of the ethmoid bone. The median septum is made up of hyaline cartilage, and divides the nasal cavity into left and right halves."

It includes manyindividual structures and may be divided into three areas: the nasopharynx (top), oropharynx (center,behind the mouth), and laryngopharynx (bottom). The nasopharynx, connected with the nasalcavities, provides a passage for air during breathing and contains the openings of the eustachiantubes through which air enters the middle ear. The oropharynx and laryngopharynx providepassageways for both air and food. The pharynx also functions as a resonating organ in speech. The pharynx is separated from the mouth by the soft palate and its fleshy V-shaped extension or flap, the uvula, which hangs from the top of the back of the mouth, above the root of the tongue. In swallowing, the uvula lifts up, closing off the nasopharynx as food passes from the mouth throughthe lower parts of the pharynx to the esophagus. On each side of the entrance to the pharynx fromthe mouth, and behind the nasal passage, are the tonsils and adenoids, masses of lymphoid tissue."

Follow 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Structure of the Respiratory System The respiratory system is represented by the following structures, shown in Figure 1 : A view of the entire respiratory system and the upper respiratory tract. The nose consists of the visible external nose and the internal nasal cavity. The nasal septum divides the nasal cavity into right and left sides. Air enters two openings, the external nares (nostrils; singular, naris), and passes into the vestibule and through passages called meatuses. The bony walls of the meatuses, called concha, are formed by facial bones (the inferior nasal concha and the ethmoid bone). From the meatuses, air then funnels into two (left and right) internal nares. Hair, mucus, blood capillaries, and cilia that line the nasal cavity filter, moisten, warm, and eliminate debris from the passing air. * The pharynx (throat) consists of the following three regions, listed in order through which incoming air passes: o The nasopharynx receives the incoming air from the two internal nares. The two auditory (Eustachian) tubes that equalize air pressure in the middle ear also enter here."

In birds and mammals, they contain branched bones or cartilages called turbinates, whose function is to warm air on inhalation and remove moisture on exhalation. Fish do not breathe through their noses, but they do have two small holes used for smelling, which may, indeed, be called nostrils. The Procellariiformes are distinguished from other birds by having tubular extensions of their nostrils. In humans, the nasal cycle is the normal ultradian cycle of each nostril's blood vessels becoming engorged in swelling, then shrinking. The nostrils are separated by the septum. The septum can sometimes be deviated, causing one nostril to appear larger than the other."

Its base is perforated by two elliptical orifices, the nares, separated from each other by an antero-posterior septum, the columna. The margins of the nares are provided with a number of stiff hairs, or vibrissæ, which arrest the passage of foreign substances carried with the current of air intended for respiration. The lateral surfaces of the nose form, by their union in the middle line, the dorsum nasi, the direction of which varies considerably in different individuals; the upper part of the dorsum is supported by the nasal bones, and is named the bridge. The lateral surface ends below in a rounded eminence, the ala nasi.2Structure. — The frame-work of the external nose is composed of bones and cartilages; it is covered by the integument, and lined by mucous membrane. 3The bony frame-work occupies the upper part of the organ; it consists of the nasal bones, and the frontal processes of the maxillæ. 4The cartilaginous frame-work ( cartilagines nasi) consists of five large pieces, viz., the cartilage of the septum, the two lateral and the two greater alar cartilages, and several smaller pieces, the lesser alar cartilages ( Figs. 852, 853, 854 )."

Yakovlev The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Volume 181, Issue Supplement_1, 1 February 2000, Pages S116–S120, https://doi.org/10.1086/315551Published: 01 February 2000Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Abstract Diphtheria is an acute, communicable disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The disease is generally characterized by local growth of the bacterium in the pharynx with pseudomembrane formation or, less commonly, in the stomach or lungs; systemic dissemination of toxin then invokes lesions in distant organs. Acute disease of the upper respiratory tract usually involves one or more of the following: tonsillar zones, larynx, soft palate, uvula, and nasal cavities. A recent epidemic in Russia emphasized the role of vaccination in reducing disease in children and adults. Topic:lung adult child palate, soft pharynx toxins bacteria diphtheria larynx pathology stomach epidemic upper respiratory tract pseudomembrane Issue Section: Articles Clinical descriptions of diphtheria appeared in Hippocratic writings, but the illness was not clearly differentiated from other upper respiratory disease until clinician-pathologist Pierre Bretonneau first described its unique clinical characteristics [ 1, 2 ]. Diphtheria is an acute, communicable disease caused by exotoxin-producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Review of pathology in archived cases and the literature shows that C. diphtheriae usually localizes in the upper respiratory tract, ulcerates the mucosa, and induces the formation of an inflammatory pseudomembrane. The exceedingly potent toxin is absorbed into the circulation and damages remote organs, potentially resulting in death. Although primary infection can occur at sites other than the pharyngeal mucosa, lesions usually occur as local pseudomembranous inflammation on mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract and systemic lesions of the heart and (to a lesser extent) nerves. C. diphtheriae is usually transmitted by direct contact or by sneezing or coughing."

Narwhals are listed as endangered in Alaska, Canada, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, the Netherlands, Russia, Jan Mayen, Svalbard, and the United Kingdom. One reason they are dying out is because of global warming. Global warming is the biggest threat to narwhals and other arctic sea life. As soon as the arctic ice melts and disappears so will the narwhals. The ice helps them hide from predators, such as orca whales. Without the ice there will be a greater number of narwhals getting attacked by orca whales and other predators. Another reason global warming is a threat to narwhals is because of the warming ocean temperatures. When the temperature of the ocean rises it affects the food chain as well."

During the migratory season, smaller groups combine with other groups to form large herds. Narwhals measure 3.6- 6.2 m in body length (average 4.7 m in males, 4 m in females) pectoral fins measure 30- 40 cm tip to tip, and width of the tail flukes is 1- 1.2 m. Average weight for male narwhals is 1,600 kg and 900 kg for females, about 1/3 of the weight consists of blubber. Compared to other cetaceans, narwhals have a small head, blunt snout, short rounded flippers, and convex rather than concave tail flukes. They have no dorsal fin, but they do have a ridge about 5 cm high that runs along the posterior end on the dorsal side that measures 60- 90 cm long. Adult narwhals are pale gray or light brown on the dorsal side, white on the ventral side, some with spotted patterns. Narwhals have 2 teeth located in the upper jaw; in males, the left tooth will grow to form a long straight tusk, hence the nickname \"\"unicorn of the sea.\"\" The length of the tusk is between 1/3-1/2 as long as the length of the body. Tusks have measured up to 3 m and weighed 10 kg. In rare cases, the other tooth forms a tusk, both of which grow counterclockwise in a spiral."

Males have the characteristic left front tooth extending approximately 8 feet and variable depending on the whale and the age. The right tooth remains embedded in the skull and measures roughly one foot. Some females may exhibit a tusk, and in rare instances a male with two tusks has been observed. Fetal narwhal initially develop six pairs of maxillary or upper teeth and two pairs of mandibular or lower teeth. Only one pair from the maxillary jaw develop and the others are vestigial. Tusk length, girth, morphology, wear and coloration are all quite variable. Male tusks are usually longer and have a wide variation in ridge morphology, often appearing as a gently wavelike form when looking down the horizontal axis. Female tusks are shorter, straighter, have a more regularly defined morphology, and do not collect as much proteinacious or algae on the surface, thus appearing whiter."

In an effort to support conservation, the European Union established an import ban on tusks. Narwhals are becoming extinct for three main reasons. The primary catalyst for the series of events that have led to decrease narwhal populations is unprecedentedly rapid climate change. Thousands of years of evolution have prepared an Arctic species like the narwhal for life on and around the sea ice. Because of climate change, this ice cover has dramatically decreased in both extent and thickness, at a rate far too quick for a species to adapt. A narwhal relies on sea ice for a place to feed and a place to take refuge—occasionally even a place to hide from predators. An additional result of climate change is the reduction in the population of the Narwhal’s primary prey, the Greenland halibut."

"text": "Photo credit: Tropical Bottletail Squid ( Sepiadarium kochii) by Michael Bok. CC BY-NC-SAThe spineless majority When most people think of animals, they think of things like mammals or birds, or maybe lizards, frogs, or fishes. All these familiar animals, along with humans, are part of a group called vertebrates or Vertebrata. The most prominent characteristic of vertebrates is a rigid, jointed skeleton inside the body (endoskeleton) with a central spine or backbone (the vertebral column ). But the furry, feathery and scaly animals we are so familiar with represent only a tiny portion of animal diversity. The vast majority of animals are invertebrates, animals without backbones like bugs, worms, snails, corals, sponges and many other obscure squiggly and creepy crawly things. In fact, 95% of the 1.4 million known animal species are invertebrates, and among invertebrates, arthropods (insects, crustaceans, spiders and relatives) are by far the most diverse group with more than 1.2 million living species. Why do most people know so little about invertebrates? It may be because most of them are relatively small. There are some really large invertebrates, like the colossal squid, which can weigh almost 500 kg (over 1000 lb), or the bootlace worm, which can be over 55 m (180 ft) long."

"text": "\"Nervous Systems Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: nobeastsofierce The nervous system is a network of nerve cells and, in most animals, a brain. In vertebrates, it also includes a spinal cord. The primary cell type found in the nervous system is the neuron , which has a cell body, containing the nucleus , and long extensions to carry information from one part of the body to another. The nervous system has two primary functions that are critical in maintaining the life of the organism. First, sensory receptors allow the organism to monitor its external environment and detect changes that occur (for example, an increase in temperature). The nervous system then activates structures such as muscles and glands, which permit the organism to respond appropriately to the environmental changes (moving out of the sun or activating sweat glands). Second, the nervous system also monitors the organism's internal environment, controlling heart rate so that enough blood is delivered to organs, or measuring nutrient levels to signal when an organism needs to obtain food. While all nervous systems carry out these basic functions, the structure and complexity of the nervous system varies tremendously in different organisms. In vertebrates, it is divided into the central nervous system (CNS), which contains the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which is composed of the nerves that carry information to and from the CNS. Invertebrate nervous systems may or may not have distinct peripheral and central regions, but communication with and response to the environment still occurs."

A good example is the snake. Snakes gained an evil reputation in their depiction in the Garden of Eden, yet they have also become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine, as depicted by the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius. In natural science, amphibians and reptiles are bundled together as the study of Herpetology, which is a branch of Zoology. Collectively they are known as herps, herptiles, or herpetofauna. The term “herpetology” is derived from the Greek word “herpton”, meaning a creeping thing. Herptiles are vertebrates and include both reptiles and amphibians. The animal world is inhabited with approximately 58,000 species of vertebrates, which seems like a lot, yet is only about 3% of all animal species. Invertebrates make up the bulk of the animals at 97% of the species. The arthropods are land invertebrates and include the arachnids (scorpions, whip scorpions, and tarantulas), centipedes, millipedes, and many others."

The vertebrate branch of the \"\"tree of life\"\"The animal kingdom is typically divided into two main groups: the invertebrates and the vertebrates. The vertebrates are distinguished by the presence of a backbone, and are the organisms that come to mind when one thinks of an animal: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The invertebrates, however, represent a vast number of species, which are classified into phyla that include: Sponges (phylum Porifera)Jellyfish and sea anemones (phylum Cnidaria),Flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes)Roundworms (pphylum Nematoda)Segmented worms (phylum Annelida)Insects, spiders and crustaceans (phylum Arthropoda)Snails, clams and squid (phylum Mollusca)Starfish and sea urchins (phylum Echinodermata)The invertebrates are worth mentioning because they represent the evolutionary history of the vertebrates. The vertebrates are a relatively recent “branch” on the tree of life and retain features of almost every invertebrate group. Some people find it intriguing that, of the invertebrates, our closest relatives are starfish and sea urchins. The vertebrates are actually a subphylum within the phylum Chordata. Chordates are characterized by having a nerve cord running along the length of the back. While there are a few invertebrate chordates, the vertebrates are noted for having an endoskeleton (endo = internal), which includes the backbone. Interestingly, not all vertebrates have backbones — or skeletons — made of bone."

The epidermis is generally ciliated in the turbellarians, whiletrematodes and cestodes are covered with a cuticle. Beneath the outer covering are two layers of muscle, an outer circular layer, and an inner longitudinal layer; this arrangement permits an undulating form of locomotion that can be observed in the larger turbellarian species. A saclikedigestive cavity, with a single opening to the outside that serves as both mouth and anus, is sometimes present; in the simpler forms it is absent or unbranched, but in higher forms it branches to all parts of the body.

There are two kinds of Chordates: Vertebrate Chordates and Invertebrate Chordates. VERTEBRATE CHORDATESThe sub-phylum Vertebrata includes the majority of living chordates (37,790 species). They differ from the invertebrate chordates in possessing :an internal skeleton, including a vertebral column which encloses the nerve cord;a brain enclosed in a skull;a pumping heart and efficient blood circulation. There are four classes of recent vertebrates: Amphibians, Reptiles , Birds and Mammals. INVERTEBRATE CHORDATESThe two subphyla of invertebrate chordates, the subphylum Urochordata (1250 species) and the subphylum Cephalochordata (45 species), lack a vertebral column. Although insignificant and little known, these marine animals are of great scientific interest as it is generally accepted that their ancestors were close relatives of the ancestral vertebrate. Studies of living invertebrate chordates have been very important in helping to solve the mystery of ‘the origin of the vertebrates’. Origin of the invertebrate chordates Similarities between the chordates and living hemichordates suggest that they all evolved from a common ancestor belonging to the Class Graptolita, an extinct group of hemichordates. The reasons for thinking this are: Chordates and pterobranch and enteropneust hemichordates (e.g. Ptychodera australiensis and Balanoglossus sp.)"

"text": "Vertebrates and Invertebrates The animal kingdom is classified under two major groups, the vertebrates and invertebrates. The following article attempts to help you understand the differences between these groups. All animals are simply divided into two groups; vertebrates and invertebrates, before they are minutely separated in different groups and sub-groups of the animal kingdom classification criteria. Before going into the details of evolutionary traits, identical traits, genetic differences, physical characteristics, etc., animals are first differentiated on the basis of one simple criteria. This simple criteria to divide the animals is whether the animal possesses a backbone or no. It helps place the animal species in one of the two groups, the vertebrates and the invertebrates. So, before a scientist or a zoologist begins to learn about the animal, he/she first decides the category it falls under. The individual characteristics of the categories are enlisted in the paragraphs below. Difference Between Vertebrates and Invertebrates The following information on animals will help you understand the differences between each group."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature A Guide to Vertebrates and Invertebrates A Backbone Makes A Big Difference Share Flipboard Email Print This lion's mane jellyfish is an example of an invertebrate. Photo © Paul Souders / Getty Images.by Laura Klappenbach Updated March 08, 2017Animal classification is a matter of sorting out similarities and differences, of placing animals in groups and then breaking those groups apart into subgroups. The whole endeavor creates a structure—a hierarchy in which the large high-level groups sort out bold and obvious differences, while the low-level groups tease apart subtle, almost imperceptible, variations. This sorting process enables scientists to describe evolutionary relationships, identify shared traits, and highlight unique characteristics down through the various levels of animal groups and subgroups. Among the most basic criteria by which animals are sorted is whether or not they possess a backbone. This single trait places an animal into one of just two groups: the vertebrates or the invertebrates and represents a fundamental division among all animals alive today as well as those that have long ago disappeared. If we are to know anything about an animal, we should first aim to determine whether it is an invertebrate or a vertebrate. We'll then be on our way to understanding its place within the animal world. What are Vertebrates? Vertebrates (Subphylum Vertebrata) are animals that possess an internal skeleton (endoskeleton) that includes a backbone made up of a column of vertebrae (Keeton, 1986:1150)."

It lives year-round in the Arctic waters around Greenland, Canada, and Russia. It is one of two living species of whale in the Monodontidae family, along with the beluga whale. The narwhal males are distinguished by a long, straight, helical tusk, which is an elongated upper left canine. The narwhal was one of many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his publication Systema Naturae in 1758. Like the beluga, narwhals are medium-sized whales. For both sexes, excluding the male's tusk, the total body size can range from 3.95 to 5.5 m (13 to 18 ft); the males are slightly larger than the females. The average weight of an adult narwhal is 800 to 1,600 kg (1,760 to 3,530 lb)."

"text": "Difference Between Acoelomate and Coelomate August 21, 2017 by Lakna 5 min read Main Difference – Acoelomate vs Coelomate A group of animals with bilateral symmetry is referred to as bilateria. The bilaterians comprise a head and tail, a back and belly as well as a left side and a right side. Deuterostomia and protostomia are the two divisions of the bilaterians. Protostomia is the group of animals whose blastopore develops into the archenteron. The Protostomia mostly comprises invertebrates with three germ layers. The three divisions of the Protostomia are the acoelomates, pseudocoelomates, and coelomates. Deuterostomia is the group of animals whose blastopore develops into the anus. All Deuterostomia are coelomates. The main difference between acoelomate and coelomate is that acoelomate is an invertebrate that doesn ’ t have a coelom whereas coelomate is an invertebrate that has a true coelom. A coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, which is completely lined by the tissues derived from the mesoderm."

Dog Food Poison Risks Include Raw Eggs, Apples Seeds, Avocado Pits, Yeast, Raisins, Energy Drinks, Nutmeg and More Find details on toxic dog foods below: Food Poisonous to Dogs A-D E-M N-ZApples (also plums, cherries, peaches apricots)Avocado (and Guacamole made from Avocado)Alcohol Baby Food (that contains onion powder or garlic powder, or one of the ingredients on this list)Baking Soda, Salt and Baking Powder) - large amounts lead to electrolyte imbalance, can lead to congestive heart failure and muscle spasms)Beer Broccoli (in large quantities)Caffeine (as an ingredient, coffee grounds)Cherries Chocolate Chicken or Animal Bones (splinters can get stuck in the mouth and intestines)Cigarettes Citrus Oil Corn Cobs Currants Dairy Products and Milk (except cheese and plain yogurt that have lower levels of lactose)Dough that contains yeast Eggs (raw - can contribute to dog salmonella poisoning and contain the chemical avidin)Energy Drinks (due to caffeine)Fatty Foods (butter, oil)Fish (avoid raw fish, fish from the Pacific Northwest U. S. can lead to Salmon Poisoning)Fruit Pits (contains cyanogenic glycosides which contribute to cyanide poisoning)Garlic Grapes Guacamole Hops (ingredient in beer)Liver (safe in small quantities, large quantities risk too much iron and Vitamin A)Macadamia Nuts Meat Fat Trimmings (related to Pancreatitis)Mushrooms Nutmeg Nuts and Walnuts Onions Persimmons (can contribute to intestinal blockage)Potato Peels and Green Potatoes Raisins Rhubarb leaves (see potatoes)Salt Soda (caffeinated)Sugar Free Food (see Xylitol below)Tea and tea bags (due to caffeine)Tomato Tuna Turkey Skin Xylitol and Sugarless Candy Vitamins that Contain Iron Yeast Dough Apples, Plums, Peaches, Plums and Apricots These dog food poison fruits contain seeds or pits that have a cyanide derivative (cyanogenic glycoside) as one of its components. The seeds need to be ingested in large enough quantities. Avocado Dog Toxicity For dogs, the avocado leaves, fruit, seeds and bark contain a toxic principle known as Persin. The Guatemalan variety, a common variety found in stores, appears to be the most problematic in canine poisoning cases. Avocado in dog food should not be a problem if in a product manufactured by a known company. Symptoms associated with dog avocado poisoning includes damage to heart and lung tissues, diarrhea, vomiting, nasal congestion, problems breathing, and fluid accumulation in the dog heart. Dog Alcohol Poisoning After a party it isn't impossible for a dog to drink alcohol from beer and other unfinished or unattended alcoholic beverages."

He was 86. Like many popular leading men of Hollywood’s heyday, Garner boasted all-American good looks and a winning personality that carried him through comedy and drama alike. Garner won two Emmys and racked up a total of 15 nominations. He had his greatest impact in television, first on “Maverick” in the ’50s and then in the ’70s on “ The Rockford Files ,” for which he won an Emmy in 1977. He later appeared in several quality telepics including “Promise,” “My Name Is Bill W.” and “Barbarians at the Gate,” as well as the occasional strong feature such as “Victor/Victoria” and “Murphy’s Romance,” for which he captured his sole Oscar nomination for lead actor. APPRECIATION: James Garner Gracefully Bore the Weight of Stardom Garner found his way to showbiz through a friend, theater producer Paul Gregory: He was employed cueing actor Lloyd Nolan during rehearsals of the Broadway-bound “The Caine Mutiny Court Martial.” Garner eventually copped a nonspeaking role in the 1954 production, where, he said, he closely studied the play’s star, Henry Fonda. After studying with Herbert Berghof, Garner landed a role in the touring production of “Caine. ”Related Why Rita Moreno Thanked 'Rockford' Writer Juanita Bartlett in Her 1978 Emmy Win Joe Santos, 'The Rockford Files' Actor, Dies at 84Back in Los Angeles in 1955, he secured bit parts in the TV series “Cheyenne.”"

Auburn University, Alabama is located in the Eastern part of the State. At Auburn University, Alabama, extensive research on fruit trees was done in the 1960's by Dr. J. D. Norton, especially to develop the best Alabama adapted plum trees. Dr. Norton developed the famous Auburn University Plums, (A. U. Plum Trees) such as the A. U. Homeside plums, A. U. Rubrum Plum, A. U. Amber, and A. U. Rosa plum trees. Not only were these plum tree selections bred from crossing an improved Ozark Premier with a Methley plum cultivar - an old,excellent choice for Alabama homeowners, but the now disease resistant, new, high quality Plum trees are distributed widely by national plum tree nursery operators. Dr. Joseph D. Norton also developed a fruiting pear tree with a red skin that was highly adapted and productive in Alabama home gardens. This redskin pear also was attractive on grocery store shelves when displayed with yellow pears or green-brown pears. Find out how to order and purchase the Chicago Hardy Fig trees that are very cold hardy and the TN Mountain Fig tree can be grown in at least USDA zones 5 or warmer. The Black Mission Fig tree, the Italian Fig Trees, and the invisible to birds, Green Ischau Fig tree are being successfully grown in Alabama. Many other fig tree cultivars can be purchased for sale on tytyga.com."

Effects on fruit calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations during the period of spray applications were also studied. Concentrations of Ca, Mg, and chlorophyll and photosynthesis rate in leaves were measured on the day of final fruit harvest. No foliar or fruit toxicity was observed. In leaves, Ca sprays increased Mg but did not affect Ca and chlorophyll concentration and photosynthesis rate. In fruits, Ca sprays prevented the gradual decrease in Ca concentration that occurred in untreated fruits and maintained Mg at constant levels during ripening on the tree but did not affect fruit size and oil content as measured 1 day after storage. Ca-treated fruits were firmer with lower soluble pectin (SP) concentration and higher calcium pectate (Ca P) than controls in both storage days, whereas the protopectin levels were similar in all fruits. Results showed positive linear correlation between Ca concentration and either firmness or Ca P, whereas that between Ca and SP was negative as found in fruits stored for 1 day. Fruit production rates of carbon dioxide and ethylene, L* and chroma (C*) of peel, and hue angle (h°) of flesh were unaffected either by Ca treatment or storage time. Ca treatment did not affect fruit weight loss, the decreases in peel h° and flesh L*, but increased flesh C* during storage."

So, on account of all the omissions that were listed on the previous top 20 fruits you probably don’t know, I decided to include them and make the rest of the entries a bit more global. There are hundreds of fruits out there, but as I can’t carry on writing lists about all of them, I have settled for a few that I had never heard of and found interesting. Once again, I have not written this list in any special order, but decided on giving the number 1 spot to the most repeated omission.20Strawberry tree 1Muntingia Calabura Even though I had never heard of a strawberry tree in my life, the name should be familiar to many of you. What you probably don’t realize is that there are actually three completely different species of trees known as strawberry trees, and they are found on three completely different continents. So, starting in the far West we have the Muntingia strawberry tree, native to Southern Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, Peru and Bolivia, also known as the Jamaican cherry or the Panama berry. The tree produces a light red fruit that is about 1.5 cm in diameter. It is sweet and juicy and can be eaten as is, or be cooked into jams.19Strawberry tree 2Arbutus unedo Next we jump across to Europe where we can find the Arbutus strawberry tree, native to the Mediterranean regions, France and Ireland."

Strawberries, though tasty, are actually flesh sacks that emerge from the plant to protect the tiny black seeds. The stems emit a poison that wards off pests, and could potentially cause harm or discomfort if ingested. While the strawberries themselves are generally safe, it's best to avoid eating the green part. Defining a Strawberry To understand the potential dangers of a strawberry, it would help to understand what a strawberry is in the first place. First, a strawberry is not a berry. Botanically speaking, it’s a receptacle – or the thickened part of the stem where the flower and the flower’s organs are situated. Loquats, pears, apples, quinces and rowans are all also receptacles. The fruit of the strawberry are actually the dark seed-like pods, called achenes, that sit on the outside of the strawberry."

"text": "\"Fruit Skin and Seeds: What’s Good and What’s Not. Many people have discovered that fruits and vegetable smoothies are good for their health but when making a smoothie, should one include the skin and seeds or to throw them away and avoid eating them? The answer is: it depends on the fruit. Before we get started, it is important to mention that although fruit skins are mostly good for you, the so-called conventionally-grown fruits (or vegetables for that matter) contain pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, contaminants, and or carcinogens. So no matter how nutritious the skin may be, remember that you are ingesting chemicals that are not good for you. Try to consume organically grown (which means that they have not been grown using chemicals) fruits and wash all fruits thoroughly with water before consumption. Now you just have to hope that the part of the country you are living at does not add too much fluoride to the tap water that you use to wash your organic fruits. A person can get frustrated trying to avoid chemicals for the health of their family, in particular, their children. The seeds of a plant or fruit are typically rich in vitamin and mineral content. An important function of a seed is to act as an energy and nutrient source for the new plant germinating from it."

Having fruits during pregnancy is always considered healthy, but there are few fruits which when taken in larger amounts,harms both mother and developing fetus.1) Grape is one such fruit, while many doctors suggest not to have grapes during pregnancy, few doctors give green signal to having it in first two trimesters, as they provide nutritional benefits to both baby and mother, provided taken in little amounts. The major concern with grapes is, the fruit contains large amounts of a toxic compound called Resveratrol, this toxic compound is harmful for the expectant mother whose hormones are imbalanced. Experts also suggest to avoid grapes during third trimester as consuming grapes increases excessive heat in the expectant mother. It is better to avoid sour grapes, as sour grapes are acidic in nature, it may lead to nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues.

"text": "4. TOXICITY PROBLEMS4.1 SPECIFIC IONS AND THEIR EFFECTSA toxicity problem is different from a salinity problem in that it occurs within the plant itself and is not caused by a water short-age. Toxicity normally results when certain ions are taken up with the soil-water and accumulate in the leaves during water transpiration to an extent that results in damage to the plant. The degree of damage depends upon time, concentration, crop sensitivity and crop water use, and if damage is severe enough, crop yield is reduced. The usual toxic ions in irrigation water are chloride, sodium and boron. Damage can be caused by each, individually or in combination. Not all crops are equally sensitive to these toxic ions. Most annual crops are not sensitive at the concentrations shown in Table 1 but the majority of tree crops and woody perennial-type plants are. Toxicity symptoms, however, can appear on almost any crop if concentrations are high enough. Toxicity often accompanies or complicates a salinity or infiltration problem although it may appear even when salinity is low."

There have been many advances in terms of capabilities and effectiveness as well as overall general safety. However, while great strides have been made in terms of safety, there is still an inherent danger that comes along with welding. The good news though is that with safety firmly at the forefront of welders’ minds there is much they can do to minimize the risk to themselves, coworkers, and property. Let’s take a look at some of the main safety checks that every welder should perform on a daily basis to avoid danger. Safety Steps To Take Before Welding Before you ever touch the welding machine there are a number of very important safety checks that you should always make it a point to do first. These safety measures may seem like common sense, but it is easy for them to be forgotten or start to become ignored over time because the welding itself might start to feel routine. That is why it is imperative to train yourself to make these steps a daily part of your work schedule. Know Your Equipment As we said above, welding technology has come a long way over the years.

Power plants also play a big role in industrial pollution and together with the heavy industries they account for nearly 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Some states are known to be industrial states and have a number of big and robust industries. Apart from employment that these industries provide to the locals, they also greatly pollute the environment leading to low quality of air and other health complications. States which have fewer industries and manufacturing plants are less polluted and have a lower amount of carbon emission."

It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the Tox FAQs TM, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This public health statement tells you about tin and tin compounds and the effects of exposure to them. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites are then placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and are targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. Tin and organotin compounds have been found in at least 214 and 8, respectively, of the 1,662 current or former NPL sites."

Air pollution is when unwanted chemicals, gasses, and particles enter the air and the atmosphere causing harm to animals and damaging the natural cycles of the Earth. Natural Causes of Air Pollution Some sources of air pollution come from nature. These include eruptions of volcanoes, dust storms, and forest fires . Human Causes of Air Pollution Human activity is a major cause of air pollution, especially in large cities. Human air pollution is caused by things such as factories, power plants, cars, airplanes, chemicals, fumes from spray cans, and methane gas from landfills. Burning Fossil Fuels One of the ways that humans cause the most air pollution is by burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas. When we burn fossil fuels this releases all sorts of gasses into the air causing air pollution such as smog. Advertisement Effects on the Environment Air pollution and the release of gasses into the atmosphere can have many negative effects on the environment."

The extent of the problem depends upon the type of welding you do, and the precautions that you take. The content of the welding rods, coatings, filler metals, and base materials also greatly impacts your health. Manganese in Welding Fumes Your biggest on–the–job risk is exposure to the manganese contained in fumes that are given off during welding. Inhaling manganese can cause very serious damage to your brain and nervous system. Many workers who are exposed to welding fumes suffer from Parkinson’s disease, a major disorder affecting movement and balance. They often develop “ manganism ,” a disease closely related to Parkinson’s, that also makes it difficult to walk and move properly. Both manganism and Parkinson’s disease cause tremors, shaking, and loss of muscle control. These conditions can become more severe as time passes. Although the law restricts your exposure to manganese in welding fumes, its limits may not be enough to protect you."

"text": "Air Pollution Pollution The Environment What causes environmental pollution?7 Answers Rinkesh Kukreja, Environmentalist living in some corner of this beautiful planet called 'Earth'Answered Aug 30, 2016Environmental pollution refers to the introduction of harmful pollutants into the environment. The major types of environmental pollution are air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, thermal pollution, soil pollution and light pollution. Deforestation and hazardous gaseous emissions also leads to environmental pollution. During the last 10 years, the world has witnessed severe rise in environmental pollution. Source: Causes, Effects and Solutions to Environmental Pollution | Earth Eclipse Sources and Causes The sources and causes of environmental pollution includes the following: Industrial activities Vehicles Rapid urbanization and industrialization Population overgrowth Effect Environmental pollution has negatively affected the life of both human-beings and animals. Almost all of our gains in the fields of industrial progress, science and technology had so far been realized at the cost of our health. Even our flora and fauna were found to be threatened with extinction. The environmental pollution is not caused by the fall-out from nuclear tests or industries alone. The smoke left behind the automobiles and other vehicular traffic, the increasing use of synthetic detergents, nitrogen fertilizers and insecticides contaminate both air and water. Solution What then is the remedy?"

"text": "Advantages of a Direct Vent Fireplace With a direct vent fireplace, the need for a flue is eliminated and pipes can be installed through the wall. Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Related To: Fireplaces Green Building Energy Efficiency On a winter night, the last thing you want to contend with is a cold home. To combat the chill, you might bundle up in flannel pajamas, make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, or if you're lucky, snuggle beside a cozy gas fireplace. However, if your gas fireplace isn't a direct vent fireplace, you're losing heat up the chimney. A traditional gas fireplace uses indoor air for combustion. It takes air from inside the home to burn natural gas or propane and sends the fumes up a flue. A flue is a vertical pipe that exhausts the gases naturally by drawing them upward and out of the home through the roof. The hot gases rise through the flue to the outdoors, because warm air naturally rises above cooler air. Traditional gas fireplaces are considerably inefficient because they allow conditioned air to escape the home through ports in the firebox and through the open doors of the fireplace. Another problem with their design is that backdrafting can occur if, for instance, a kitchen fan is pulling air out of the home."

"text": "Why Does My AC Smell Bad? Central heating and air has one very specific job: Adjust the temperature of your home to a more comfortable level. Unfortunately, HVAC systems do this by moving and regulating airflow throughout a home. If any portion of that system develops a strong smell you’ll find that same smell filling every room in your house very shortly. Just as some smells aren’t as bad as others, some problems that cause smells aren’t as terrible as others. In fact, you can identify some HVAC problems by the smells they cause so you can identify who you need to contact for help. Leaks (Gas, etc)Skunk Smells: If you can smell that horrible scent of skunk whenever the AC is running, but can’t seem to find a source (especially if you can’t detect the smell outside), then you should inspect your gas system. Methyl mercaptan, which smells very similar to skunk spray, is added to natural gas and propane to help detect dangerous leaks. A skunk smell in your HVAC system is usually caused by a gas leak and should be inspected immediately. Stinky Feet: The damp, musty smell that’s somewhere between dust and wet leaves may not be coming from your socks after all."

With natural gas rolling ashore in Nova Scotia, it is tempting to believe industry and government promises that if only we could plug into this rich new local resource we could see our fuel bills drop and free up money in the budget for the nicer things in life. But would we still feel the same way if we were to learn that, in trying to save those hard-earned dollars, we were undermining our health by polluting the air we breathe in our very homes? It may be discouraging to hear, but now is the time to listen to what the experts have to say before we make what may be the wrong decision for us and for our families. Living with natural gas can be a health hazard both for people who are healthy and for those who are already ill. It is especially risky for people who have weakened immune systems, including those who are asthmatic, allergic, or chemically sensitive. Gas appliances create a constant low level exposure to gas which cancause or increase illnesses. Natural gas is a sensitizer, which means that exposure can lead to intolerance and adverse reactions both toit and other substances in our environment. The British medical journal, The Lancet, reported in1996 that the use of domestic gas appliances, particularly gas stoves, was linked to increased asthma, respiratory illness, and impaired lung function especially in young women."

Benzene is among the 20 most widely used chemicals in the United States. It is used mainly as a starting material in making other chemicals, including plastics, lubricants, rubbers, dyes, detergents, drugs, and pesticides. In the past it was also commonly used as an industrial solvent (a substance that can dissolve or extract other substances) and as a gasoline additive, but these uses have been greatly reduced in recent decades. Benzene is also a natural part of crude oil and gasoline (and therefore motor vehicle exhaust), as well as cigarette smoke. How are people exposed to benzene?

Yetdespite the fact that it is so common, we are hardly aware of this vital element because oxygen istransparent, it has no colour, taste or smell. Oxygen occurs uncombined (as one of a mixture of gases) in air, but it also readily combines (reacts) with a wide variety of other elements to make compounds. Indeed, oxygen is among the most reactive of all the elements. For example, nearly allthe rocks of the Earth are compounds containing oxygen. Water is also a compound of oxygen along with hydrogen. Oxygen is vital for life. When oxygen reacts with a fuel, the fuel is oxidised and becomes an oxide, sometimes turning into a solid, in other cases forming a gas such as carbon dioxide."

David De Lossy/ Getty Images Clothes moths can be a real problem in clothes made from natural fibers (especially wool). There are two different types of moth balls used to combat the moths. In one type, the main ingredient is naphthalene, and in the other it is paradichlorobenzene. The idea with both chemicals is to kill moths and moth larvae with the fumes. Both naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene sublimate, meaning they transition from a solid straight to a gas. The gas is toxic to the moths. For either of these chemicals to be effective, they need to be placed with the clothing in a sealed container so the fumes can build up and kill the moths. In a sealed atmosphere like this, the fumes are not harmful to people because they are contained. The main threat would occur when opening the containers, or from wearing clothes immediately after opening (especially a problem for infants)."

That it denotes the good of celestial love is evident in John :--Behold the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath conquered to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof ( Rev. 5:5);here the Lord is called a lion from the omnipotence belonging to His Divine love and the Divine truth thence derived. In other passages in the Word, Jehovah or the Lord is compared to a lion, as in Hosea :--They shall go after Jehovah; He shall roar like a lion; for Be shall roar, and the sons shall come with honor from the sea ( Hosea 11:10). [ 3] In Isaiah :--Thus said Jehovah unto me, Like as when the lion roareth, and the young lion over his prey, if a fulness of shepherds come running upon him, he is not dismayed at their voice, and is not afflicted by their tumult; so shall Jehovah Zebaoth come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon the hill thereof ( Isa. 31:4);here the omnipotence of Divine good is compared to a lion, and the omnipotence of the Divine truth thence derived is compared to a young lion, for it is said that Jehovah Zebaoth shall come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon the hill thereof; for Mount Zion signifies the good of Divine love, and the hill thereof, the Divine truth thence derived (AC 795, 796, 1430, 4210 ). [ 4] For the same reason the four animals in Ezekiel and in John, by which are meant cherubs, had the faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. In Ezekiel :--The likeness of the faces of the four animals: the face of a man and the face of a lion on the right side had they four; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; and they four had the face of an eagle ( Ezek. 1:10; 10:14). And in John :--Before the throne were four animals full of eyes before and behind. And the first animal was like a lion, and the second animal like a calf the third animal had a face as a man, the fourth animal was like a flying eagle ( Rev. 4:6, 7)."

A cherub or cherubim, are angels depicted as infants or young children, most often boys. Historically, winged figures with a human form pre-date even the bible, going back to Assyrian myths and legends. The winged figures were often sent as messengers or guides. In Hebrew cherubim were supernatural entities mentioned several times in the Old Testament and the Torah.

It is characterized by a fever, followed by itchy raw pox or open sores which heal without scarring. Effects Chickenpox has a two-week incubation period and is highly contagious by air transmission two days before symptoms appear. Therefore, chickenpox spreads quickly through schools and other places of close contact. Once someone has been infected with the disease, they usually develop protective immunity for life, and cannot get it again. As the disease is more severe if contracted by an adult, parents have been known to ensure their children become infected before adulthood. The disease is rarely fatal: if it is involved in a fatality, the actual death is usually from opportunistic varicella pneumonia, and occurs more frequently in pregnant women. In the US, 55 percent of chickenpox deaths were in the over-20 age group, which is indeed at risk from the virus. Doctors advise pregnant women who come into contact with chickenpox should contact their doctor immediately, as the virus can cause serious problems for the foetus."

"text": "\"What are cherubim? Are cherubs angels? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What are cherubim? Are cherubs angels?\"\" Answer: Cherubim/cherubs are angelic beings involved in the worship and praise of God. The cherubim are first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 3:24, “After He drove the man out, He placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.” Prior to his rebellion, Satan was a cherub ( Ezekiel 28:12-15 ). The tabernacle and temple along with their articles contained many representations of cherubim ( Exodus 25:17-22; 26:1, 31; 36:8; 1 Kings 6:23-35; 7:29-36; 8:6-7; 1 Chronicles 28:18; 2 Chronicles 3:7-14; 2 Chronicles 3:10-13; 5:7-8; Hebrews 9:5 ). Chapters 1 and 10 of the book of Ezekiel describe the “four living creatures” ( Ezekiel 1:5) as the same beings as the cherubim ( Ezekiel 10 ). Each had four faces—that of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle ( Ezekiel 1:10; also 10:14)—and each had four wings."

A cherub (plural cherubs or cherubim) is an angelic being. A look at the Bible's mentions of cherubs (more than 60 times) offers insight into their role and activities. The first mention of cherubs is found in Genesis 3:24: \"\"He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.\"\" These angels guarded the Garden and held a flaming sword. Golden images of cherubs are mentioned in the design of the lid of the Ark of the Covenant ( Exodus 25:18-19 ), revealing the importance of cherubim in the presence of God. Cherubs were also included in other aspects of the tabernacle's design ( Exodus 26:31) and later the Jewish temple, as noted in Ezekiel 41. Second Samuel 22:11 notes cherubs as God's attendants when He comes to the aid of people (also Psalm 18:10 ). Hezekiah prayed, stating, \"\"O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth\"\" ( 2 Kings 19:15 )."

"text": "\"Answer by Changomono21 Confidence votes 11The name Lucifer comes from the Latin word for 'light-bearer'. It is a name given to the planet Venus when it appears as the morning star. The Hebrew word for lucifer is halal (haw-lal) which appears to be this cherubims real name before he became known as Satan. In the scriptures lucifer is call \"\"the son of the morniing\"\" and the Hebrew term halal means morning star. SOMETHING TO ALSO CONSIDER [continued] Some scholars also believe that the name 'Lucifer' is actually a mistranslation and also a misrepresentation linked with the wrong character in the bible. As mentioned above 'Lucifer' means 'light bearer' or 'light bringer' a pretty strange term to be associated with the prince of darkness. Also, one must raise the question, why is the name Lucifer, a latin word, in the old testament, which was written originally in Hebrew and Christs language would have been Aramaic, yet this Latin name dominates ideas represented with the 'devil'. It seems, some scholars would think, that 'Lucifer' was falsely translated; \"\" 3. In A. D. 382 Pope Damascus commissioned the scholar Jerome to make an official revision of the Latin versions of the Bible that were floating around in the Catholic Church. Jerome went off to a cave in Bethlehem where he proceeded to make his translation, supposedly based on the Hebrew text, but in practice based very largely on the Septuagint version (i.e. \"\"LXX\"\") that Origen had produced about 140 years earlier while in Caesarea.

"text": "The 1540 Armour of King Henry VIIIThis armour is the greatest of the Greenwich garnitures made for King Henry VIII 1. It is possible that it was intended for wear at the May Day tournament which was held during 1–5 May 1540. The event included tilts, tourneys, and foot combats over the barriers. This tournament was the last Henry is known to have staged, and there is no record that he actually participated. No doubt his age (he was 49 years old) and his great bulk made this inappropriate. The armour can be easily identified as the ‘Complete harness parcell grauen and gilte with all manner of peces of advantage for the felde Tilte Turney and fote’ that was listed at Greenwich in the 1547 inventory of the King’s goods. Not only does the armour have all the requisite extra pieces, but it has a double set of them. In addition, it has the second of only two known examples of a feature that was unique to the Greenwich workshop. This is an inner breastplate or ventral plate strapped to the body and designed to lift the weight of the cuirass and arm defences from the shoulders by means of the central bolt to which the breastplate and plackart were secured. It is recorded that François I disclosed this secret device to Henry in 1520, offering to have his armourers make one for Henry if he sent one of his arming doublets for a pattern."

And there is very good reason why that tree should be taken as a type or picture of the righteous man; there is also excellent reason why the prominence of the palm tree in the prophet's vision should picture the truth that man's goodness is the fair and excellent result of much communion with God. Among the resemblances are these - I. ITS UPRIGHTNESS. Some trees are irregular, they are twisted and tortuous in their growth; some hug the ground before they rise; but the palm rises straight toward heaven, it stands upright among the trees. \"\" Like some tall palm the noiseless fabric grew.\"\" The good man is well figured here; he is the man who does not stoop, who does not bend and bow earthward, who stands erect, who moves in one heavenward direction, who is governed constantly by true and abiding principles. And these he gains from God and from his house. There, in the sanctuary, he is sustained in his principles, is reminded of them, gains fresh inspiration to illustrate and adorn them."

Eye & Face Wrinkles Removal tips Advertisement Wrinkles are fine lines or delicate crease in the skin surface which is caused by thin, sagging skin. Wrinkles or aging lines can be taken place when the elasticity of the skin gets damaged due to age and other factors like improper care, unbalanced diet, and stress. Usually, wrinkles are visible on the face, neck and hands. When the collagen and elastin present in the connective tissue of the skin is weakened or decrease in number, wrinkles appears on the skin surface. Skin loses fat content, elasticity, smoothness and even thickness when suffers from such type of damage. Vitamin E-rich foods are good for skin and inadequate intake of such foods may be responsible for wrinkles in skin. Various ecological factors and harmful effects of ultraviolet sun rays may also cause wrinkles. Wrinkled skin can be easily visible as skin becomes loose and sagging near the eyes, lips and neck."

"text": "How to help tighten wrinkled neck skin Necks Need Love, Too!So you’ve finally found an anti-aging cream that’s right for you, and you’re loving the results! Your fine-lines are fading away, age-spots are starting to disappear, and your skin is glowing again, but wait- what about your neck? Many women and men fail to realize that signs of aging affect the neck area more prominently than other areas of the skin. The reason is because the skin on the neck is the thinnest, most fragile area of skin beside the eyes, therefore the eyes and neck are far more vulnerable to aging than the face. As early as 30, women are beginning to see signs of wrinkles and sagging skin around the neck, and unlike the past, treating the neck is being taken very seriously by consumers, as well as brands. Wrinkle Creams and Neck Cream Aren’t The Same While some people are under the impression that any ol’ face cream will work just as well on the neck, the truth is quite the opposite. Many ingredients which are suited for the tougher, thicker skin on the face, are too harsh for the delicate neck area. So when considering which neck cream to try, it is important to note the ingredients it has, as well as the ingredients it lacks. Staying away from fragrance should be a given, for it’s a common skin irritant, and really won’t help get rid of wrinkles. Also, any products containing parabens are generally better to steer- clear of, because they are unnatural preservatives which have actually been linked to breast cancer."

More than any other procedure, botulinum toxin type A, more commonly known as Botox, has come to represent the public’s fascination with cosmetic surgery . Originally identified as a toxin from Clostridium botulinum bacteria, Botox was first used in 1977 to treat strabismus, a problem with the eye muscles. The Food and Drug Administration approved it in 1989 for this purpose. When it was later used to treat uncontrolled muscle spasms in the face, patients had fewer wrinkles in the skin overlying the treated muscle. Doctors started using Botox for cosmetic reasons in 1996, and the FDA approved this use in 2002. Botox Is Big Business Sixty-five thousand Botox injections were performed in 1997. By 2005, there were 3.3 million injections in the United States alone. The manufacturer, Allergan, sold $831 million worth in 2005. This meteoric rise is due to a number of factors.

Learn more about facial skin tightening below. What Is Laser Skin Tightening? Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source (a laser) to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to contract (tighten). Facial skin tightening is noticeable immediately after the treatment, and there is no downtime, making this an increasingly popular procedure. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results usually require two or three treatments about a month apart. Laser skin tightening is an FDA approved method for the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. While laser skin tightening results may not be as dramatic as those of a face lift, patients enjoy moderate results with no downtime. An added benefit of laser skin tightening is that it is safe and effective for restoring a more firm, youthful appearance to skin all over the body.

Wrinkles can be caused by excessive muscle movements this is the cost of overactive muscle movement. For treating wrinkles, we can identify overactive muscles and inject a highly purified and diluted formula of Botox. The use of these products prevents nerve signals from communicating and stimulating muscles, temporarily relaxing them, and eliminating wrinkles and lines on the face. With continued use of Botox or Dysport, muscles become smaller due to lack of use, which extends the effectiveness of each treatment. For many clients, the first treatment lasts between three-and-four months. If the treatment fades significantly before the second treatment is performed, it should last between three and five months. Generally, if the third treatment and follow-up treatments are administered regularly–for example on a quarterly basis–the results can be more long lasting."

Share: FULL STORYMade popular for its ability to smooth wrinkles when injected into the face, Botox -- a toxin known to weaken or paralyze certain nerves and muscles -- may have another use that goes beyond the cosmetic. Johns Hopkins researchers have found that patients with a painful and debilitating nerve compression disorder called thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), which studies suggest may occur in up to 8 percent of the population, reported a significant reduction in short-term pain after receiving a single, low-dose injection of Botox in a muscle located in the neck. Though the study, published in the April issue of the journal Pain Medicine, was small, researchers say it suggests Botox is a safe, noninvasive alternative to the syndrome's treatment of last resort: surgery to remove the first rib and sever one of the muscles in the neck. \"\" There haven't been many alternatives to the use of surgery to treat this syndrome,\"\" says Paul J. Christo, M. D., M. B. A., an assistant professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the study's lead author. \"\" Botox seems to be an effective treatment that avoids surgery's obvious drawbacks, such as its invasive nature and long recovery time. \"\" Christo says his latest work significantly improves on previous studies in which TOS sufferers received several Botox injections or injections were made more blindly, without the aid of a CT scan. TOS is caused by a compression of nerves in the lower neck, which occurs when there is not enough room in the cavity between the base of the neck and the armpit (the thoracic outlet) for nerve impulses to freely pass through. Symptoms often develop in the neck or head and tend to shoot down the arm, causing often excruciating pain, numbness and/or weakness in the limb and extremities. The condition is typically caused by the trauma of a motor vehicle accident, but can also be caused by sitting in the wrong position at a computer for long periods of time, by weightlifting or by an extra rib that is sometimes present in the neck."

"text": "\"What are Brown Spots on Neck? If you notice brown spots on your neck, they are most likely a type of hyperpigmentation, which is referred to as solar lentigines. These spots are more commonly referred to as liver spots, sun spots or age spots. The brown spots are very common in people over the age of 40; however they may also appear in younger individuals, or after the age of 40. While these spots are harmless, any type of abnormality should be examined by a doctor or dermatologist to ensure a bigger problem is not present. What Causes Brown Spots on the Neck? The primary cause of brown spots on the neck and skin is due to prolonged bouts of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which leads to the damage and spots that are seen. The main source of these UV rays originate from sunlight; however, other sources such as tanning beds and sun lamps can contribute to the brown spots on your neck. This happens due to UV radiation stimulating a production increase* of the skin’s pigment, which is a substance known as melanin. This forms in order to protect the underlying layers of your skin from various radiation sources and over a period of time it may accumulate in certain areas."

"text": "The facial-flex face exerciser is a small cosmetic device that you place in your mouth to firm up and tone the muscles of the face. It works on the principle of resistance exercise, whereby the greater the resistance a muscle is exposed to the stronger and bigger it will become. The good thing about the facial-flex face exerciser, is that unlike many other cosmetic devices, it actually does have some scientific research to back up the claims it makes ( Here, Here and Here pdf downloads). Studies carried out on women who have used the device, for example, have found that regular daily usage lead to an increase in the strength of the facial muscles, an increase in skin elasticity and an increase in blood circulation to the face. However, these studies were carried out on relatively small sample sizes, and so more studies need to be done before anything can be said with certainty. The facial flex face exerciser exercises a variety of muscles in the face and neck. As you can see in the picture above, using the facial-flex face exerciser exercises the muscles in your mouth and lip area ( orbicularis oris ), the muscles in your cheeks ( masseter & buccinator ), the muscles in your chin ( depressor labii inferioris, depressor anguli oris & mentalis) and the muscles in your neck ( platysma ). So you do get quite a good facial workout from using this device. Why Exercise Your Face? The muscles of the face support the skin that sits on top of it, and so they also play a role in determining how your face looks."

If you get to know your nectarines and choose from early, midseason, and late harvest varieties, you can have fresh, local nectarines at your table for nearly half the year. The best way to select nectarines is to smell them and gently squeeze them. A nectarine ready for eating out of hand will be fragrant and not too hard. A ripe nectarine will give to gentle pressure at its seam. Stay away from greenish colored nectarines or those that are too hard, cracked, bruised, or have blemishes. There are hundreds of varieties of nectarines. Here are descriptions of several nectarines you might want to try and a note on when they come to harvest: Arctic Jay: large nectarine with pale yellow skin and red blush; flesh is white with a rich, sweet flavor; freestone. Midseason harvest. Artic Rose: medium-size fruit with a white to pale yellow skin and red blush; white, sweet flesh; semi-freestone."

"text": "Growing Nectarine Fruit Trees: Learn About The Care Of Nectarine Trees Nectarines By: Becca Badgett, Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden Printer Friendly Version Image by Tracy Rowan By Becca Badgett (Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden)Nectarines are a delicious, summer-growing fruit with an autumn harvest, similar to peaches. They’re usually a little smaller than the average peach and have a smooth skin. Uses of nectarines are the same as those of peaches too. They can be eaten fresh, baked into pies and cobblers, and are a sweet, tasty addition to a fruit salad. Let’s learn more about how to grow nectarines. Where Do Nectarines Grow? If you live in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-8 and have a place for a small orchard, or even a single tree, you might consider growing nectarine fruit trees. With the proper care of nectarine trees, they can grow successfully in other areas. Care of nectarine trees in more southern areas includes diligent watering during hot seasons. Like peaches, new varieties of nectarines are self-fruitful, so you can grow a single tree and have fruit production without a pollinator."

People vary, but for most the ideal diet is 80% alkalizing and 20% acidifying foods by volume. Being alkaline attempts to answer the question of how can we prevent our health from deteriorating, or better yet, how can we regain our youth. Being alkaline is your chance to learn how to create a level of consistent health and energy. When applied seriously, you will see the vitality first hand by the results it will produce. A major part that plays an importance in being alkaline is to hydrate your body properly. Since the water we drink provides for all cellular and bodily functions (like digestion, respiration, perspiration, elimination, etc. ), the decrease in our daily water intake affects the efficiency of all cellular activity. Water is also quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Another major part of being alkaline is simply the foods you eat."

After all, these terms sound somewhat scientific, and vague memories of junior high science class and litmus paper changing color may come to mind. However, the balance between acidity and alkalinity, and its importance, can be explained quite simply and should be explained. This balance is essential to good health. The Basics Every solution is either acidic or alkaline. ( Alkaline is often called \"\"base.\"\") These solutions can be anything from body fluids, such as stomach acid and blood, to beverages, such as wine or coffee, to sea water. Acidity and alkalinity are measured in p H (potential of hydrogen). The p H scale goes from 0 to 14, with 0 the most acidic, and 14 the most alkaline."

Recent estimates tell us that 41 percent of all Americans will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes and 21 percent of the population will lose their lives to this devastating disease. [ 1] A new report released by the World Health Organization 's (WHO) forecasts that by 2035, an incredible 24 million people will be diagnosed with cancer globally. [ 2] These numbers reflect the need for a complete overhaul of our approach to cancer. Despite being overlooked for decades, volumes of scientific evidence prove that diet and nutrition play a leading role in cancer development. Only in recent years have mainstream physicians and health groups begun to recognize the importance of our lifestyle choices when it comes to preventing and reversing cancer. Even the WHO report recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains as a powerful way to help stave off this disease. Here is my list of anticancer superfoods that you can begin incorporating into your diet today for greater health and vitality.

Unfortunately if you suffer from gout then your body can’t deal with the issue of excess uric acid by itself. It just needs some support to keep your uric acid levels normal and those gout attacks away. With Gout Care, thousands of people worldwide have reported staying gout free and still eating and enjoying foods they normally couldn’t. Through a well thought out eating plan, drinking plenty of quality filtered water and the daily intake of gout care capsules, you too can become and stay gout free. The gout diet The first thing to note is that every person who suffers from gout is different. We all have different diets, different body compositions, and drink different qualities of water; all of which have something to do with gout causes. Many people with high levels of uric acid also have defects in the kidneys that are genetically predetermined. Each gout sufferer seems to have a certain high purine ‘gout foods to avoid’ that tends to trigger an attack or the symptoms of gout to an extent they know they have pushed the boundaries a bit too much."

"text": "\"The Importance of an Alkaline Diet The internal environment of our bodies is maintained at a p H of just about 7.0. This means our internal environment is alkaline. Maintenance of this state is a dynamic, not static, process mediated moment to moment by numerous reactions that produce acid products. Our internal chemical equilibrium is primarily controlled by our lungs, kidneys, intestines, and skin. For necessary reactions and functions to occur, our body must maintain a proper p H. Adequate alkaline reserves are necessary for optimal p H adjustment. The body needs oxygen, water, and acid-buffering minerals to accomplish the p H buffering, while also briskly eliminating waste products. When an alkaline environment is maintained in the body, metabolic, enzymatic, immunologic, and repair mechanisms function at their best. The acid-forming metabolics of stress and inflammation and of high fat and high protein foods are adequately and effectively neutralized only when sufficient mineral-buffering reserves are present. Mineral-buffering reserves are the gift that alkaline-forming foods give to our body. A diet that is predominantly alkaline-forming is essential to the maintenance of sustained health."

Similar in many ways to peaches, nectarines provide a tree with attractive foliage and delicious fruit. They are among the most popular of stone fruits in the garden and are relatively easy to grow and care for. Features The foliage of nectarine trees is similar to peaches, with long, slender, lance-like leaves that curve downward along the length of each leaf. The leaves are four to nine inches long and have finely serrated margins. The fruit of nectarines has a smooth skin that is yellow and red in appearance. The fruit is sweet and juicy with a moderate amount of fiber. The stone inside the fruit that holds the seed can be a cling type, strongly connected to the flesh; semi-free; or free, where the stone is partially or completely separate from the flesh. Growth Habits Nectarine trees grow relatively fast, adding more than 24 inches each year and spreading out quickly."

A PH scale is measured on a scale of 0-14. A reading below 7 is acidic, and a reading between 7-14 is alkaline. The ideal PH levels are between 7.35-7.45, and you can achieve this by eating a balanced amount of alkaline foods. When your body is too acidic, it is at a much higher risk of suffering from major illnesses, like heart conditions, cancer, artritis, diabetes and weight issues. By eating alkaline foods we create a natural barrier which gives us a better chance of fighting of illness. The type of alkaline foods we need to eat are mostly the green leafy vegetables like spinach, green beans, lettuce, cabbage, and asian greens.

A nectarine tree can be grown in USDA zones 5 through 8. Nectarine seeds should be dry before they are planted. If taking the seeds directly from a fruit, allow the pit to dry for about three days before removing the seeds from the pit. Once dried, use a nutcracker to crack the pit and remove the seeds. Soak the nectarine seed in water overnight. Put potting soil into a plastic bag or jar and moisten the soil. Place the nectarine seed into the middle of the soil and seal the bag or jar. Place the container into the refrigerator and leave it completely undisturbed for one month. Check the nectarine seed regularly after the one-month mark to see if it has sprouted."

And it is so effective in balancing the p H of the body and allowing the body to heal itself that it won’t be long before the American Medical Association, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, Big Pharma and the powers that be will make it illegal to get baking soda without a prescription. It is now being used as an alternative medicine for trying to prevent cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. No wonder the pharmaceutical companies don’t want you to know about it. There is no money to be made with this preventive treatment. When the body is too acidic, it creates a perfect environment for disease.

"text": "\"Is it true that the foods and beverages you consume cause your blood to become more alkaline or acidic? Contrary to popular hype, the answer is: not to any significant degree. The p H of your blood is tightly regulated by a complex system of buffers that are continuously at work to maintain a range of 7.35 to 7.45, which is slightly more alkaline than pure water. If the p H of your blood falls below 7.35, the result is a condition called acidosis, a state that leads to central nervous system depression. Severe acidosis - where blood p H falls below 7.00 - can lead to a coma and even death. If the p H of your blood rises above 7.45, the result is alkalosis. Severe alkalosis can also lead to death, but through a different mechanism; alkalosis causes all of the nerves in your body to become hypersensitive and over-excitable, often resulting in muscle spasms, nervousness, and convulsions; it's usually the convulsions that cause death in severe cases. The bottom line is that if you're breathing and going about your daily activities, your body is doing an adequate job of keeping your blood p H somewhere between 7.35 to 7.45, and the foods that you are eating are not causing any wild deviations of your blood p H. So what's up with all the hype about the need to alkalize your body? And what's to be made of the claim that being too acidic can cause osteoporosis, kidney stones, and a number of other undesirable health challenges? As usual, the answers to such questions about human health can be found in understanding basic principles of human physiology."

"text": "\"The BBFC logo The British Board of Film Classification ( BBFC) is a film and video game classification system used in the United Kingdom. All Grand Theft Auto games have been scrutinized by the BBFC and each one has been given an 18 rating. No Grand Theft Auto games have ever been re-rated or considered for re-rating, unlike in Australia where the OFLC re-rated Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas after the Hot Coffee debacle. The first edition of the game was also re-rated in the USA where the ESRB decided that an AO rating was needed. In 2007, the BBFC banned another Rockstar Games publication, Manhunt 2, from sale in the UK after refusing to give it an age rating. [ 1] This is the only video game to have been banned by the BBFC. After lengthy legal battles, an edited version of Manhunt 2 was eventually given an 18 rating and released on Play Station 2 and PSP in the UK in 2008. On 30 July 2012, PEGI replaced the BBFC as the video games ratings system in the UK, whilst the BBFC maintains its role in rating films. Contents [ show]BBFC Ratings The BBFC can give one of a number of graphical representations to a film or video game, all of which suggest a different age that is 'fit for viewing'. It's ratings are among the most easy to understand of all rating systems, as unlike the ESRB and CERO which use a lettering grade, the upper age limit ratings for the BBFC are simply numbers, making it obvious to the audience how old they should be."

(Frank Micelotta/Frank Micelotta/Invision/AP)Neil Young is going solo after nearly four decades with wife Pegi Morton Young. The \"\"Heart of Gold\"\" singer filed a petition July 29 to end the couple's 36-year marriage, online court records confirm. Pegi, a philanthropist and musician, filed her own request for dissolution when she answered his petition Aug. 12. A hearing has been set for Dec. 12 in Redwood City, Calif., near the couple's ranch in the Santa Cruz mountains. Reps for the Canadian singer-songwriter - who was part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and forged a legendary solo career - did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Young, 68, and his 61-year-old wife first met in 1974 while she was working in a diner after spending a year living in a teepee. They married in 1977 and welcomed their first child, son Ben Young, a year later. Now 35, Ben is quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and unable to speak.

The blue coupe remained locked in a garage for more than 20 years before being purchased by its current owner this February. While the three-owner car once driven by the first man to walk on the surface of the moon is now barely running, most of its parts are original. Iconic: A 1967 Chevrolet Corvette once owned by astronaut Neil Armstrong is now being auctioned on e Bay Fully loaded: The Corvette has the original 427-cubic-inch, 390-hp L36 V8 engine, factory air conditioning and power windows Fox News reports that aside from a new carburetor, water pump, muffler and wheels, the only major modification is a set of botched fender flares. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next Get paid for sharing links on Facebook - but your friends... Share this article The fully-documented Corvette, complete with Neil Armstrong's information, has the original 427-cubic-inch, 390-hp L36 V8 engine. It also features factory air conditioning and power windows. The odometer shows just 38,148 miles, but as it only has five digits and has not been used since the 1970s, the real mileage could be higher. Lease: The Corvette was delivered to Armstrong in December 1966 as part of a special leasing deal According to the seller, the Corvette was delivered to Armstrong in December of 1966 as part of a special program run by Melbourne Chevrolet dealer Jim Rathman. In a ploy to boost sales, Rathman would offer astronauts a special one-year lease deal on Corvettes so they would always be seen behind the wheel of the latest model. After Armstrong traded in his Corvette a year later, it was purchased by a NASA employee who used it on the road until September of 1981, when he decided to store it away, according to the website Autoevolution."

Tech 9/24/2014 @ 11:27AM 20,362 views What Parents Need To Know About 'Forza Horizon 2'With Forza Horizon 2 almost in stores and this year’s game earning an ESRB E10 rating rather than the original’s Teen rating I want to clarify which family age group this game suits best. To enable parents to make informed decision, here’s all the rating information gathered in one place along with some background about why the game is so popular and exciting to play. If you haven’t come across the game already, Forza Horizon 2 is the latest in the Forza series of Xbox-exclusive racing games that create a high level of realism in graphics and physics, much like the Play Station-exclusive Gran Turismo games, though Forza Horizon 2 is more accessible and focuses more on the action than pure simulation. Forza Horizon 2 is the sequel to 2012’s Forza Horizon, and features a fictional racing event called the Horizon Festival. Where Forza Horizon took place in the USA, Forza Horizon 2 takes place in France and Italy. Races can take place during the day or at night, and Forza Horizon 2 is the first game in the whole series to have a dynamic weather system, so you can race in the rain. You can race against the AI or take on your friends online. Like Forza Horizon, the Xbox One version of this sequel was developed by UK studio Playground Games. However, the Xbox 360 version was developed by Sumo Digital."

Jonathan Bush was not even invited to the event, which is due to take place on Sunday, even though he is an uncle of the bride. A spokesman for the 41-year-old said that he was ‘not planning to attend’ but did not disclose any more details. The development came as Neil Bush, Lauren’s father, gave his blessing to the wedding in an apparent attempt to bring the family together. On his blog he said it was an ‘exciting time’ and that David Lauren ‘he has loved and supported my daughter’. But given that at least three members of the Bush family are not attending including former president George H W Bush and his former First Lady Barbara, questions still remain over who from the bride’s family will actually be there. It is not even clear if former president George W Bush and wife Laura will go to the ceremony, which will take place the Colorado ranch of designer Ralph Lauren, the father of the bride.

"text": "\"1 Aug 2012PEGI Ratings: What Does It All Mean? Share. Does Saying Bye-Bye to the BBFC mean tougher ratings for games? By Daniel Krupa This week something important happened. PEGI replaced the BBFC as the legally-enforceable ratings body for video games in the UK. Its 12, 16, and 18 age ratings are now enforceable under British law, meaning a fine of up to £5,000 or six months in jail awaits the retailer or individual responsible for selling games to those too young to play them. To be honest, it was all something of a mess. The two systems had coincided for way too long, creating foggy confusion – the exact opposite of what such regulatory bodies are supposed to do. Which ratings were parents supposed to trust: the familiar BBFC ratings or the new PEGI ratings? And if indeed it was was the latter, what good was a classification system that didn't have the law on its side."

"text": "\"Neil Young Neil Young files for divorce from Pegi, his wife of 36 years Neil Young filed papers in San Mateo, California, on 29 July to end marriage Sean Michaels Wed 27 Aug 2014 10.18 EDT10.18 EDTThis article is over 3 years old Divorce… Neil Young and wife, Pegi, are to divorce after 36 years together Neil Young has filed for divorce from Pegi Young, his wife of 36 years. The couple have performed together since the 1990s and collaborated to start the Bridge School, a non-profit school for children with severe physical and speech impairments. Documents obtained by Rolling Stone show that Neil Young filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on 29 July in the couple's hometown of San Mateo, California. Pegi received a formal copy of the notice on 31 July and both have submitted a notice of alternative dispute resolution. A hearing is scheduled for 12 December. Neither Neil Young nor Pegi, a singer-songwriter, have commented publicly on the split, and the musicians' representatives have not issued a comment. Some of the Youngs' biggest fans, at the blog Thrasher's Wheat, offered only a tactful, poignant tribute: a selection of songs and video performances that are believed to touch on the couple's long relationship. These included unreleased songs such as Separate Ways, from 1975, and Love to Burn, from 1990, both of which speak of a strained marriage, and both of which Young performed at gigs this summer. \"\" I won't apologise,\"\" he sings on Separate Ways. \"\" The light shone from in your eyes / It isn't gone / It will soon come back again / Though we go our separate ways / Lookin' for better days / Sharin' our little boy, / Who grew from joy back then. \"\""

Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Uses in popular culture and covers3 Personnel4 References Background [ edit]The song was written for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for $350,000 in 1970. The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals. [ 2]In the film Heart of Gold, Young introduces the song as follows: About that time when I wrote (\"\" Heart of Gold \"\"), and I was touring, I had also—just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time—I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep."

"text": "NEMATODES AS A BIOLOGICAL INDICATORKey Points Nematodes are used as biological indicators of soil health because the number and types present in a soil reflect changes in the microbes they consume, and the soil’s physical and chemical environment. The ratio of bacterial- to fungal-feeding nematodes indicates the rate of nutrient cycling. Populations of omnivorous and predatory nematodes indicate whether the soil biology is affected by pollutants or disturbances, and whether the soil has some capacity to suppress pathogenic organisms. Why are nematodes good biological indicators? Since bacteria and fungi are the dominant component of microbial biomass, it is often considered they provide the best indication of the soil’s biological status. However, they are difficult to measure as there are thousands of different species and they occur in enormous numbers. Also, their life cycles are relatively short (hours or days), and so populations change rapidly in response to changes in environmental conditions such as moisture and temperature. Soil animals, particularly nematodes, are generally considered to be better biological indicators. There are a number of reasons why nematodes are commonly used as biological indicators: Nematodes occur in all soils. Even in relatively poor soils, there are millions in every square metre."

La Rue, Farm Advisor, Tulare County from: DANR Leaflet 2459: 1977Contents: Acreage Description Where Pomegranates May Be Planted Varieties Propagation Planting Distances Irrigation Fertilization Insect Pests Diseases Training Young Trees Pruning Introduction The pomegranate is associated with the most ancient civilization in the Middle East. Judging by some of the earliest records, the pomegranate is native to Persia and the surrounding area. It was also cultivated in ancient Greece and referred to by Greek writers several hundred years B. C., even before the advent of the almond, peach or apricot. The character of the fruit made it particularly agreeable to the inhabitant of hot, arid regions, and so it spread east to India and China, and west to countries encircling the Mediterranean (it flourished particularly well in Spain, and the city of Granada owes its name to the high-quality pomegranates grown in that area). The present scientific name, Punica granatum, was derived from the name \"\"pomuni granatum\"\" (seeded apple) given to the fruit in the Middle Ages. Spanish missionaries brought the pomegranate to the New World soon after Cortez conquered Mexico in 1521. As the missions moved north to California, so did the fruits grown by the padres. For instance, an orchard containing pomegranates, apples plums, figs, oranges, grapes, and peaches was described by a visitor to Mission San Buena Ventura in 1792. Most descriptions of early California fruit gardens mention pomegranates as being widely grown, and even today many California fruit gardens mention pomegranates as being widely grown, and even today many California mission gardens contain pomegranate bushes, a few of which probably were originally planted by the padres. In the U. S. pomegranates are grown where winters are mild, but only in California does the fruit reach the quality necessary for successful commercial production."

Boeri, Jordan A. C. (Eds Cite this publication Authors and Editors Federica Semprucci28.3 Università degli Studi di Urbino \"\"Carlo Bo\"\"Maria Balsamo34.37 Università degli Studi di Urbino \"\"Carlo Bo\"\"Abstract Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans on Earth. Estimates of global nematode species diversity vary widely, but currently seem to agree that there are about one million species, a number that is comparable to what is reported for other very diverse animal phyla. Nematodes are the dominant taxon in marine sediments in terms of both abundance and biomass. However, the great importance of this group is not only related to these characteristics, but also to its close relationship with the other organisms playing a key role in trophic webs. Theeffects of nematodes on sediment stability are similarly crucial. The relative stability of populations, the short turnover rate, and the generallyhigh tolerance to ecosystem alterations make Nematoda particularly suitable as bioindicators, a benefit that is enhanced because collection methods and sample treatment for these species are relatively simple. For this reason this phylum has been used as an indicator for assessing the ecological quality of marine ecosystems according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2000/60/EC). In addition, the high taxonomic diversity of nematodes is also related to their large trophic spectrum and the variety of their buccal structures. The latter, and other traits such as body and tail shape and life strategy, are easily recognizable, meaning that nematodes can be distinguished on both a morphological and functional basis."

Nematodes have successfully adapted to nearly every ecosystem from marine (salt water) to fresh water, to soils, and from the polar regions to the tropics, as well as the highest to the lowest of elevations. They are ubiquitous in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, where they often outnumber other animals in both individual and species counts, and are found in locations as diverse as mountains, deserts and oceanic trenches.

They are most commonly found in freshwater, although some species live in brackish or marine habitats, in soil, or on mosses. Rotifers may be sessile or sedentary and some species are colonial. Their bodies can be clearly divided into three regions: head, trunk, and foot, but the body surface varies widely between species, some even have spines or tubercles and/or a protective casing (lorica). Some species sexually reproduce, but parthenogenic reproduction is far more common, order Bdelloidea lacks males altogether. Rotifers mainly feed on smaller animals, algae, and organic particulates, although some species are parasitic. Depending on the species, they filter feed or actively hunt and capture prey. ( Brusca and Brusca, 2003; Ruppert, et al., 2004; Segers, 2007; Wallace, 2002; Zhang, 2011)Geographic Range Rotifers are considered broadly cosmopolitan, and are found in marine, brackish, and fresh waters throughout the world, excluding Antarctic. Several species are endemic to specific regions. ("

"text": "Abstract Nematodes, with a simple, tubular body form are the most abundant multicellular animals on earth. Wherever there is active animal life there are nematodes, often with up to 200 species and several million plant and soil nematodes per square metre. Although not active without free water, typically nematode populations are regulated by predators and microbial parasites, and their diverse biological interactions place them in many food webs. Nematode activity may affect plant community composition and succession. Their abundance, diversity and effects on soil processes make indices of nematode assemblage useful indicators of ecosystem condition. Although some parasites cause disease, most nematodes are beneficial, keeping earth's nutrients cycling or enhancing the diversity of natural ecosystems. Key Concepts: Nematodes are abundant, widespread and diverse. Nematodes require free water and food resources to be active but narrow soil pores may prevent them using some resources. Nematodes excrete the excess nitrogen from their food in plant‐available form. Plant and soil nematodes use a wide range of food resources; other nematodes may be parasites of invertebrates and vertebrates."

"text": "\"Meet the Camel Cricket November 22, 2013 • Infinite Spider Camel Crickets 101Meet the Harmless Camel Cricket or Spricket How many times have you gone down into the basement, into the back yard, or into your garage and found a hopping creature that looks like a spider and has the legs of a cricket? ( usually this is followed by screaming or impolite words). This leaping creature is the camel cricket, a nocturnal insect in the order Orthoptera and the family Rhaphidophoridae (Rap-he-doe-fore-a day). They are light tan and brown, about 1-1 1/4\"\" long, and they don't have wings (so no worries about flying). Camel crickets are related to cave crickets and occur across the US, all continents, and most islands. They like moist, dark, and damp environments which explains why you find them in garages and basements. The most common species here in the US is the Spotted camel cricket but researchers are finding that the Japanese camel cricket is also starting to invade our homes too. Why Do These Crickets Look So Creepy? Part of what makes camel crickets so scary is that they physically look like big spiders, they come out at night, and hop when startled. This is why they are also commonly called \"\"Sprickets\"\" or spider-crickets."

Their bodies are made up of six or fewer segments and they lack wings. Although many species have small eyes, some are nearly or totally blind. Their antennae are segmented. They occur in a range of colors including whitish, yellowish, brown, gray, bluish, or black, and they may be mottled. Collembola have biting mouthparts that are entognathous. That is, the mouthparts are mostly retracted into the head. Some springtails have mandibles with well-developed molars. Others are fluid feeders, having stylet-like mouthparts."

"text": "Home »Produce How to Use Nematodes By Alicia Bodine; Updated September 21, 2017Nematodes are tiny roundworms that are not harmful to humans or pets. According to Nematode Nick's Landscaping, nematodes are predators to more than 200 species of insect. One of those insects is the Japanese beetle grub, which is known for causing brown patches in lawns. If you find that you are having an insect problem in your soil, you can add nematodes and they will kill the insects for you. Prepare to use your nematodes within two weeks of purchasing them. Make sure you store them in the refrigerator and keep the sponge they are in moist until you are ready to use them. Use the nematodes when the soil temperature is between 55 and 85 degrees F. It is also best if the nematodes are sprayed into the soil later in the day, when the sun is not as hot, versus first thing in the morning. Water the soil where you intend on spraying the nematodes. A light application of water is all you need. Mix your nematodes with water in a backpack sprayer as specified on your product label."

"text": "Annexes Annex 1. Soil organisms Soil organisms are responsible, to a varying degree depending on the system, for performing vital functions in the soil. Soil organisms make up the diversity of life in the soil (Figure A1.1). This soil biodiversity is an important but poorly understood component of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil biodiversity is comprised of the organisms that spend all or a portion of their life cycles within the soil or on its immediate surface (including surface litter and decaying logs) (Table A1.1)Soil organisms represent a large fraction of global terrestrial biodiversity. They carry out a range of processes important for soil health and fertility in soils of both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems. This annex provides brief descriptions of organisms that are commonly found in the soil and their main biological and ecological attributes. The community of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil constitute the soil food web. The activities of soil organisms interact in a complex food web with some subsisting on living plants and animals (herbivores and predators), others on dead plant debris (detritivores), on fungi or on bacteria, and others living off but not consuming their hosts (parasites). Plants, mosses and some algae are autotrophs, they play the role of primary producers by using solar energy, water and carbon (C) from atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) to make organic compounds and living tissues."

Hay University of Tasmania How would you like something worm-like, eight metres long and as thick as a garden hose wriggling (Figure 1) around in your stomach? Well spare a thought for the sperm whale, because that is exactly what it has to put up with! A species of giant nematode ( Placentonema gigantissimum) makes its home in the placenta of the sperm whale. That would be enough to make your stomach turn! Humans can also be invaded by nematodes. The good news is that these are much smaller than Placentonema! The bad news is that these invaders can cause serious diseases. The nematode Wuchereria bancrofti for example affects over 100 million people throughout tropical parts of the world. It can grow as long as 10 cm, is spread by mosquito bite, damages the lymphatic system and causes large, debilitating swellings in different parts of the body referred to as ‘elephantiasis’."

The introduced species are: the shortwinged mole cricket, Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus Scudder; the southern mole cricket, Neoscapteriscus borellii Giglio-Tos; and the tawny mole cricket, Neoscapteriscus vicinus Scudder. These are not the only mole crickets found in North America, but they are the most damaging. For example, a native species, the northern mole cricket, Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty), is widely distributed in the eastern states west to about South Dakota and Texas, and including southern Ontario, but is not a pest. The European mole cricket, Gyllotalpa gryllotalpa (Linnaeus), has been introduced from Europe into the northeastern states, but is of minor significance. Changa, Neoscapteriscus didactylus (Latreille), invaded Puerto Rico from South America prior to 1800, and has caused considerable damage to crops on this island, but does not occur elsewhere in the United States.
