"text": "Nerve Root Block Procedure Nerve Root Block Procedure The term ‘nerve root block’ is one that many people find quite daunting and it sounds a very dramatic procedure. However, in reality no one need feel intimidated or anxious about having a nerve root block, it is a very safe, very routine procedure to help manage/diagnose chronic pain conditions which are associated with nerve roots. The injection itself is comprised of a local anaesthetic that is injected along with a steroid. Blocking The Nerve When you receive a nerve root block, the injection will be administered (sometimes when a patient is sedated, sometimes not) into a nerve that seems to be causing the pain. Because there is a local anaesthetic in the injection, then the nerve will immediately be numbed. This then acts as a confirmation that the pain is actually being caused by a specific nerve and it will provide the patient with pain relief. The steroid is also used to try and reduce inflammation that often occurs in the area near the nerve root and the discs in your back. Reducing this inflammation can actually provide relatively long term relief from pain, because the pain itself can be caused simply by this inflammation. Is Pain Relief Immediate? Pain relief can be more or less immediate, with some patients reporting that pain relief has been significant within 30 minutes or less, of the injection being carried out."

Determine how you would code this situation before looking at the box below for the answer. Question: What is a paravertebral nerve root block and the correct code for it? Is it truly a transforaminal epidural steroid injection? Texas Subscriber Answer: Transforaminal epidural steroid injections occasionally are called selective nerve root blocks, but they are different from paravertebral facet joint or paravertebral facet joint nerve injections. The codes for transforaminal epidural steroid injections are 64479 (Injection, anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural; cervical or thoracic, single level) and +CPT 64480 ( cervical or thoracic, each additional level [list separately in addition to code for primary procedure]) for cervical/thoracic injections, and 64475 (Injection, anesthetic agent and/or steroid, paravertebral facet joint or facet joint nerve; lumbar or sacral, single level) and +64476 ( lumbar or sacral, each additional level [list separately in addition to code for primary procedure]) for lumbar or sacral injections. The facet joint nerve injections are also sometimes called medial branch blocks. The codes for those are 64470 (Injection, anesthetic agent and/or steroid, paravertebral facet joint or facet joint nerve; cervical or thoracic, single level) and +64472 ( cervical or thoracic, each additional level [list separately in addition to code for primary procedure]) for cervical/thoracic injections, and 64475 or 64476 for lumbar/sacral injections. Physicians can be vague regarding which procedure was performed. If you are in doubt about the service, verify it with the physician before coding."

In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the femoral nerve – its anatomical course, motor and sensory functions, and any clinical relevance. Overview Nerve Roots: L2-L4Motor: Innervates the anterior thigh muscles that flex the hip joint (pectineus, iliacus, sartorius) and extend the knee (quadriceps femoris: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius),Sensory: Supplies cutaneous branches to the anteromedial thigh (anterior cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve) and the medial side of the leg and foot (saphenous nerve). Anatomical Course The femoral nerve is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus. It is derived from the nerve roots L2 – L4. The nerve descends from the lumbar plexus in the abdomen, travelling down through the fibres of psoas major. The nerve exits psoas major at the lower part of its lateral border, passing behind the iliac fascia to approximately the mid-point of the inguinal ligament. It then traverses behind the inguinal ligament into the thigh and splits into an anterior and posterior division. It passes through the femoral triangle lateral to the femoral vessels (enclosed within the femoral sheath) and gives off articular branches to the hip and knee joints. The terminal cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve is the saphenous nerve which continues, with the femoral artery and vein, through the adductor canal."

The pain is located in the upper arm ipsilateral to the lesion and is acute, stabbing, electric shock-like. ( 3,4)Cervical radicular pain has to be differentiated from cervical radiculopathy. In radiculopathy there is objective sensory or/and motor loss. These two entities should not be confused, as it usually happens. Radicular pain is a symptom induced by ectopic excitation, while radiculopathy involves also neurological signs, such as sensory or/and motor changes. The two disorders may co-exist and have the same causes, e.g. intervertebral foraminal stenosis, disc herniation, infection and other inflammatory conditions. There is also the case of patients initially suffering from radiculitis (nerve root inflammation) that later on progresses into radiculopathy. Cervical Radiculopathy CAUSESThe most common cause of acute and subacute (6-12 weeks) cervical radicular pain is cervical disc herniation . The most common cause of chronic (over 3 months) cervical radicular pain is the formation of adhesions around a nerve root and its chronic irritation."

Its half-life in the body is about 1.5–2 hours. Other local anesthetic agents in current use include articaine (also called septocaine or ubistesin), bupivacaine (a long-acting anesthetic), Prilocaine (also called Citanest), and mepivacaine (also called Carbocaine or Polocaine). A combination of these may be used depending on the situation. Also, most agents come in two forms: with and without epinephrine (adrenaline) or other vasoconstrictor that allow the agent to last longer and also controls bleeding in the tissue during procedures.

Vertebral foramen refers to the opening between the anterior segment and the posterior segment of the vertebral column, allowing nerve roots to pass through it. Vertebral foramen is located on the left and right side of the spine. Vertebral foramen is placed from the cervical spine up to the lumbar spine. Definition of Foraminal Stenosis Foraminal stenosis involves the reduction in size of the vertebral foramen that allows the nerve roots to pass through it. Once the space has decreased because of stenosis, the nerve roots become compressed. Image Source: http://www.backcare101.com Types of Foraminal Stenosis Foraminal Stenosis has varied types depending on the location, severity and area of narrowing. Types according to the area of narrowing: Bilateral Foraminal stenosis Bilateral foraminal stenosis involves the narrowing of the foramina on both sides of the spine. Foramen is located on both sides of the spine and the narrowing of both sides causes bilateral foraminal stenosis. Unilateral Foraminal stensois Unilateral stenosis only involves the stenosis on the left of the spine Far Lateral stenosis This involves narrowing where the nerve root has exited the foramen."

Epidural Nerve Block Facts & Information Epidural nerve blocks are corticosteroid injections which are used to decrease pain and inflammation caused by a herniated disc, sciatica, or spinal stenosis. Epidural nerve block treatments safely offer substantial pain relief without surgery. With the help of today’s technology, our pain management specialists accurately diagnose, target, and relieve the source of pain, to help you return to an active lifestyle. What is an Epidural Nerve Block? An epidural nerve block is the injection of corticosteroid medication into the epidural space of the spinal column. This space is located between the dura (a membrane surrounding the nerve roots) and the interior surface of the spinal canal formed by the vertebrae. After a local skin anesthetic is applied to numb the injection site, a spinal needle is inserted into the epidural space. To ensure accuracy and safety, our physicians perform the procedure under fluoroscopic (x-ray) guidance, using a contrast agent to confirm needle placement. Local anesthetic and corticosteroid anti-inflammatory medication are delivered into the epidural space to shrink the swelling around nerve roots, relieving pressure and pain."

"text": "Lumbar intervertebral disc disease Download What is lumbar intervertebral disc disease? Changes in the intervertebral disc structure due to wear (degeneration) in the lumbar spine can lead to intervertebral disc protrusion or a herniated intervertebral disc. When elements of an intervertebral disc shift toward the spinal cord or spinal nerve, pressure is exerted upon these structures, causing pain that radiates into the leg as well as sensorimotor dysfunctions. How does a herniated lumbar disc occur? During the natural aging process, the intervertebral disc loses elasticity due to metabolic imbalances. It grows hard, begins to show cracks in the outer fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus), and the gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus) loses the capacity to take up sufficient water to maintain its elasticity. The disc grows thinner, which disturbs the structural balance within the mobile segment. The forces acting upon the lumbar spine can no longer be adequately absorbed, dampened and distributed, exacerbating the process of structural change. The altered pressure loads induce spondylotic outgrowths on the vertebrae (spondylosis) and the form of the vertebral joints is altered (spondylarthrosis). The stabilizing ligamentous apparatus is overstretched, resulting in mobile segment instability."

"text": "Cervical Dorsal Root Rhizotomy What Is a Cervical Dorsal Root Rhizotomy? A cervical dorsal root rhizotomy is a surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency pulses to inactivate some of the sensory nerve fibers that come from the muscles and enter the spinal cord in order to relieve neck pain. Once inactivated, the nerves cannot conduct pain sensations to the brain, thus decreasing or eliminating the pain completely. A cervical dorsal root rhizotomy may be used as pinched nerve treatment or to help relieve cervical neck pain. UPMC surgeons often perform this procedure after a steroid block, or surgical sympathectomy, has failed to produce long-lasting results. A cervical dorsal root rhizotomy may provide months or years of pain relief in patients in whom the steroid blocks wear off too quickly. What to expect during a cervical dorsal root rhizotomy During the procedure, the patient is positioned on a fluoroscope, a type of x-ray machine. Our surgeons pass a needle to the small nerves that supply the joints between the two vertebrae, using the fluoroscope for guidance. A radiofrequency generator is then attached and the surgeon uses radiofrequency pulses to inactivate the nerve. Cervical dorsal root rhizotomy recovery After the procedure, patients spend an hour or two recovering before being released from the hospital."

Please see article by Renton & Yilmaz, 2012 on the management of iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injuries. Current management of these nerve injuries is inadequate. There is only discussion on surgical correction and no attention to medical or counselling intervention. In part the fault rests with how we assess these patients and there is a deficiency in functional and pain evaluation and a total focus on basic mechanosensory evaluation which is not necessarily reflective of the patients’ difficulties. A recent review of publications pertaining to trigeminal nerve repair highlights that the average time from injury to nerve exploration was 16 months; this is far too late to prevent central neural changes due to altered peripheral input (neuropathic pain) (Ziccardi & Zuniga 2007). Most importantly the clinician must establish the patients’ expectations. After a comprehensive assessment the possible timing of any necessary intervention may be indentified. The fundamental question is ‘What is the patient complaining of?’ It may be pain or discomfort, functional or social problems or the patient expectations of the treatment process."

"text": "What Is A Heel Spur? Table of Contents1 What Is A Heel Spur?2 Causes Of Heel Spurs3 Treatments For Heel Spurs4 Conclusion5 References A heel spur is a painful condition that is caused by the accumulation of excessive calcium under the heel of the foot. The heel bone is made up of a large structure called the calcaneus, which is connected to the bottom of the foot by durable connective tissue called fascia. If the layers of connective tissue become damaged or begin to degenerate due to wear and tear, plantar fasciitis may develop. This causes calcification, which refers to the abnormal buildup of calcium on the heel bone. As the calcium continues to accumulate, a calcified protrusion called a spur may become visible on an X-ray. Heel spurs usually form under the base of the foot or the back of the heel bone. Spurs that develop underneath the foot may visibly protrude through the skin. In addition, plantar fasciitis as well as heel spurs may eventually lead to chronic pain that persists for three or more months, especially if the sides and base of the heel bone have been affected. A large heel spur can affect movement and prevent an individual from walking or even standing properly."

These joints are located on the left and right side of each vertebra, interlocking with the vertebra above and below like hinges that allow spinal movement. Each facet joint contains small nerves that are responsible for transmitting pain signals directly to the joint. These nerves are called medial branch nerves, and if there is any inflammation within a facet joint, the medial branch nerves typically will signal pain. One of the ways your medical professional can determine if these nerves are the cause of your neck pain or back pain is through the use of a certain type of injection called medial branch nerve blocks. What is a medial branch nerve block? Medial branch nerve blocks seek to determine if the nerves in question are the root cause of your pain by temporarily interrupting the pain signals carried by these nerves. By injecting a small amount of anesthetic into the nerves and recording the subsequent pain relief – or lack thereof – your physician can more accurately assess what is causing your pain. How can this injection help me? Medial branch nerve blocks can potentially offer you pain relief after the procedure is completed, often lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few days."

"text": "Nerve ablation is a surgical technique that destroys a nerve or impairs its functionality. Originally done by cutting or other direct forms of contact, it is now performed by surgeons applying electromagnetic radiation to the nerve, in what is called radiofrequency ablation or lesioning. This procedure has fewer complications than major surgery and can be done in an outpatient setting, often as a pain management technique. In addition to treatment of nerve pain, ablation sometimes is used to reduce the involuntary movements caused by cerebral palsy, and experimentally has been applied to treat high blood pressure by targeting nerves that regulate the kidney's water and sodium absorption. Most forms of nerve ablation are outpatient surgical treatments that involve the impairment or destruction of a malfunctioning nerve. This process was originally accomplished by a rhizotomy, the cutting, freezing, or cauterizing of sensory nerve roots at the location where they enter the spinal cord, either to relieve pain or spasticity. A newer procedure, radiofrequency nerve ablation, applies electromagnetic radiation in the form of heat or an electromagnetic pulse to a target nerve. This method does not destroy the nerve, but merely reduces its level of pain sensitivity. Radiofrequency ablation is commonly used to relieve pain relayed to the brain by sensory nerve roots in the spine. One method, radiofrequency heat denervation, damages these nerves by application of high temperature, while pulsed radiofrequency nerve ablation indirectly reduces neuronal sensitivity to pain signals and ability to transmit these signals to the brain."

"text": "\"Print Version Spinal Injections Introduction In many cases of chronic back pain, your doctor may recommend a spinal injection. A spinal injection may be done to find out what is causing your pain. It may also be used to treat your pain. Doctors refer to these two separate uses of spinal injections as diagnostic and therapeutic. If an injection provides pain relief in the area that is injected, it is likely that this particular area is the source of the problem. Injections are also therapeutic in that they can provide temporary relief from pain. Medications With most spinal injections, a local anesthetic (numbing medication) called lidocaine (also known as Xylocaine) is injected into a specific area of your spine. Lidocaine is a fast-acting drug, but the effects wear off within about two hours. That is why lidocaine is used more often as a diagnostic tool rather than a long-lasting pain reliever. Bupivacaine (also known as Marcaine) is another type of anesthetic that can be used."

"text": "\"When Your Employer Changes Your Working Hours By: Abigail Taylor - Updated: 11 Apr 2018 | *Discuss Tweet For many people working 9 to 5 is just not a reality. Clearly, businesses need to have staff working at relevant times to meet the demands of their business (e.g. for a restaurant this might be evenings and weekends). These non-traditional working hours are to be expected by those working in some professions. However this doesn't mean that you lose the rights of 9-5 workers. Check Your Contract For any issue regarding your employment, it is really important to look at your contract. You should have been provided with a copy of your contract at the point when you first signed it (started your employment). If you were not provided with a copy, ask for one. If you have lost your copy, you are still entitled to see your contract which your employer should hold in your employee file. Be aware that not all employee records will be held \"\"onsite\"\" at your place of work and so such a request may take a few days. If the contract refers to any other procedures (such as disciplinary procedures) or terms and conditions of employment, this forms part of your contract and you are entitled to see these documents too."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Health insurance is insurance that covers the whole or a part of the risk of a person incurring medical expenses, spreading the risk over a large number of persons. By estimating the overall risk of health care and health system expenses over the risk pool, an insurer can develop a routine finance structure, such as a monthly premium or payroll tax, to provide the money to pay for the health care benefits specified in the insurance agreement. [ 1] The benefit is administered by a central organization such as a government agency, private business, or not-for-profit entity. According to the Health Insurance Association of America, health insurance is defined as \"\"coverage that provides for the payments of benefits as a result of sickness or injury.

"text": "Do You Have to Give Your Employees Lunch Breaks? By Andrew Lu on July 3, 2012 9:02 AMA simple question: Do you have to give employee meal breaks? A lawyerly answer: It depends. Unfortunately, employee meal breaks is one of the most complicated areas of employment law and non-compliant employers regularly face multi-million dollar class action lawsuits. So why the confusion? Under federal law, there is no such thing as employee meal breaks. Employers don't have to give you time off to eat regardless of how many hours you work. Fortunately for hungry employees, 20 states and many corporate policies do require that employees have time off to eat. Often, states that require employee meal breaks will provide that if an employee works a certain number of hours in a day, that employee must have unpaid time off to eat. For example, in California, the general rule is that if an employee works five hours in the day, the employee should have 30 minutes time away from work to eat."

"text": "Florida Overtime and Labor Laws Minimum Wage As of January 1, 2018, the minimum wage in Florida increased to $8.25 per hour. The minimum wage was $8.10 for 2017 and $8.05 for 2016. Each year, according to Florida wage laws, Florida’s minimum wage is subject to annual increases based on inflation. Miami passed a city ordinance to raise the citywide minimum wage to $13.31 by 2021. The first increase to $10.31 was set to go into effect on Jan 1, 2018 and increase $1 per year until 2021. However, several business organizations filed suit against the city in December 2016 over this ordinance. In March 2017, the judge invalidated the ordinance. The city’s attorneys appealed this decision; however, on December 13, 2017, the appellate court agreed with the district court and struck down the city ordinance, holding that only the Florida state legislature had the power to set the minimum wage rate and develop new Florida wage laws. Overtime Florida overtime laws essentially defer to federal law. Florida follows the Federal labor laws and does not have any state specific exemptions in its Florida overtime rules, meaning all non-exempt employees must be paid overtime pay of time and a half for any hours worked over 40 during a workweek."

A: Most Indiana employers and employees are covered by the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); however those not covered under federal law may still be covered by the Indiana Minimum Wage Law. For more information on differences between Federal and Indiana State Minimum Wage, click here. Q: If I am a waiter or waitress and earn tips, is my employer still required to pay me minimum wage? A: Tipped employees must be paid at least the minimum wage. The employer is required to pay a base hourly wage of $2.13 an hour. If the employee is not compensated at a rate equal to the minimum wage after adding any tips he/she received to the base hourly wage of $2.13 an hour, the employer must pay the employee the difference. If the employee earns more than the minimum wage after adding the tips he/she received to the hourly wage of $2.13 an hour, the employer has fulfilled his/her obligation. A tipped employee means any employee engaged in an occupation in which he/she customarily and regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips.

Calculating redundancy pay Service requirements Continuous service Reckonable service Exclusions - when reckonable service is not included Early retirement and redundancy Suitable alternative employment Information for staff Other sources of information Calculating redundancy pay Staff who are made redundant should receive one month’s pay per year of reckonable service, with a maximum of 24 months’ pay (only full years of reckonable service can be counted when calculating redundancy pay as employment for part of a year should be disregarded). A month’s pay, subject to a total annual earnings floor of £23,000 and cap of £80,000, will be either an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual salary at the date of termination or 4.35 times a week’s pay whichever is more beneficial to the employee ( the average month has 4.35 weeks). The calculation of 4.35 times a week’s pay should be made in accordance with the Employment Rights Act 1996 . For calculating contractual redundancy for concurrent employment please see the NHS Redundancy in England: FAQs. Service requirements Redundancy entitlements are, in the main, determined by service criteria. In redundancy compensation, there are two concepts of service - continuous service which employers need to consider first and reckonable service which then determines the period (s) of service to be counted in paying redundancy."

There are lots of people who will tell you that the national insurance contributions you pay, and your employer also pays on your behalf, are nothing but another form of taxation, that what you get is not related to what you pay and there is no national insurance fund. They are wrong. At the end of this article I look at why they might be saying this, but first, a bit of history and a few facts. A bit of history After the second world war people were determined not to go back to the poverty they remembered before the war. So the new anti- poverty scheme, proposed by William Beveridge and adopted by the new Labour government, was very popular. Under the national insurance scheme everyone would pay contributions. In return they would be insured against all the risks that mean that they could not support themselves through work, sickness, pregnancy, old age, unemployment and widowhood. Benefits were to be set at a level designed to keep people in a modest but secure standard of living and were to be paid based at the contributions you had paid."

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

"text": "\"Home > Meal and Rest Breaks > Meal and Rest Breaks - Revisited Meal and Rest Breaks - Revisited Posted on June 29, 2007 by Anthony Zaller Email This Print Comments Trackbacks With July beginning, now is a perfect time for employers to review their meal and rest break policies. While readers may feel like they understand these regulations better than most non-employment attorneys, given the high penalties associated with violations, and the California Supreme Court’s ruling in April that the payments for violations are “wages,” increasing the statute of limitations periods up to four years, it is well worth it for employers to revisit these issues periodically to ensure compliance. Below are excerpts from the DLSE’s website providing answers to frequently asked questions about employer’s obligations to provide meal and rest breaks. Meal Breaks: Q. What are the basic requirements for meal periods under California law? A. Under California law (IWC Orders and Labor Code Section 512), employees must be provided with no less than a thirty-minute meal period when the work period is more than five hours (more than six hours for employees in the motion picture industry covered by IWC Order 12-2001). Unless the employee is relieved of all duty during the entire thirty-minute meal period and is free to leave the employer's premises, the meal period shall be considered \"\"on duty,\"\" counted as hours worked, and paid for at the employee's regular rate of pay. An \"\"on duty\"\" meal period will be permitted only when the nature of the work prevents the employee from being relieved of all duty and when by written agreement between the employer and employee an on-the-job meal period is agreed to. The test of whether the nature of the work prevents an employee from being relieved of all duty is an objective one. An employer and employee may not agree to an on-duty meal period unless, based on objective criteria, any employee would be prevented from being relieved of all duty based on the necessary job duties. Some examples of jobs that fit this category are a sole worker in a coffee kiosk, a sole worker in an all-night convenience store, and a security guard stationed alone at a remote site."

It is expected to be announced early next week and will replace the current complex system under which pensions are linked to lifetime national insurance payments. But millions of workers face paying more tax through increased national insurance contributions if they are currently part of final salary occupational pension schemes. Those affected are expected to include around 1.4 million private sector staff who are enrolled in final salary schemes and contracted out. They are likely to be long-term employees of large companies. Another five million public sector workers in similar schemes, from teaching assistants to surgeons and top civil servants, will also face the higher tax.

"text": "\"Seventy-four percent of Americans who smoke say they would like to give it up, and 67 percent of smokers believe they are addicted to cigarettes, according to a Gallup poll. Although quitting can be a challenge, there are a number of methods that have been proven to help, including medication and counseling. Many people who want to stop smoking turn to nicotine gum, which research shows can be helpful for smokers who are trying to quit but are struggling with nicotine withdrawal. It was the first nicotine replacement therapy to be approved for over-the-counter sale by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, which gave it the nod back in February 1996, months before nicotine patches were approved for non-prescription use. A Look at Nicotine Gum Choices Nicotine gum is available under the brand names Nicorette and Nicorette DS. Generic forms of nicotine polacrilex gum are available, under names such as Habitrol, Nicotrol, and Prostep. The gum comes in dosages of 2 and 4 milligrams (mg). You can purchase nicotine gum at most drug stores, grocery stores, and department stores. On average you'll spend $4.50 for 10 pieces of gum, the amount most people need to chew daily to control nicotine withdrawal. How You Use Nicotine Gum You don't chew nicotine gum the way you chew normal gum."

Smith Kline Beecham Healthcare announced Wednesday that its Nicorette nicotine gum will be available over the counter starting Thursday, April 18. \"\" Today we're starting a new front in the battle to help Americans kick the habit,\"\" said Jack Ziegler, president of Smith Kline Beecham Consumer Healthcare North America. Nicorette brand nicotine gum has been available by prescription for about 12 years as a smoking cessation aid. It is designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms by providing a temporary alternative source of nicotine. Now that it will be more readily available, the manufacturer expects its use will rise. \"\" Of smokers who actually want to quit, 70 percent of them will not take the step of going to a doctor and get a prescription ... and those are the people that Nicorette, as an over-the-counter drug, can now help,\"\" Ziegler said. Although there are some safety concerns, the American Lung Association welcomed the product's move to OTC. \"\" Making nicotine replacement therapy available without a prescription will help the public health community in our effort to reduce death and disease attributed to smoking,\"\" said American Lung Association President Jacqueline Mc Leod. Nicorette's package label alerts users to some potentially dangerous side effects."

The sole purpose of nicotine gum is to aid smokers to kick the habit. The chewing gum actually supplies nicotine, hence soothing the smoker’s chronic cravings for cigarettes. While the health hazards associated with cigarettes are open secrets, one cannot disagree that nicotine gum is far better than smoking, one way or the other. Smoking is detrimental to health no matter how you choose to cut the slice. This is because not only is the smoker inhaling the mainstream but sidestream smoke as well. The million dollar question is whether nicotine gum is a safe resort or not. The dangers of nicotine gum are non-existent in comparison to that of smoking.

A single piece contains less than three calories. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that consuming excessive amounts of Nicorette is smart or safe. Sugar Thanks to the availability of artificial and natural sweeteners, all Nicorette products are produced in a manner that is deemed sugar-free. While cane sugar is not used to sweeten Nicorette gum, other sweetening agents are used. These include acesulfame potassium; Xylitol, a naturally produced plant-based sweetener; and sorbitol, a corn-based sweetener that is naturally produced.

Design: Analysis of the results of 28 randomised trials of nicotine 2 mg chewing gum, six trials of nicotine 4 mg chewing gum, and six trials of nicotine transdermal patch. Subjects and setting: Subjects were self referred (responding to advertisements or attending anti-smoking clinics) in 20 trials and invited (general practice or hospital patients) in 20. Therapists in self referred trials were generally experienced in helping people stop smoking but not in invited trials. Main outcome measure - Efficacy was defined as difference in percentages of treated and control subjects who had stopped smoking at one year. Results - Efficacy was highly significant (P<0.001) for both gum and patch. Nicotine 2 mg chewing gum had an overall efficacy of 6% (95% confidence interval 4% to 8%), greater in self referred subjects than in invited subjects (11% v 3%)."

"text": "\"Knowing your smoking triggers can help you target the kind of nicotine replacement therapy that will work for you. ( GETTY IMAGES/HEALTH) Shopping for over-the-counter quitting aids can be a little overwhelming because there are now five distinct forms of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to choose from, each in its own colorful array of brands. ( Not to mention that nicotine gum and nicotine patches may be stowed somewhere behind the checkout counter near the cigarettes. ) But your chances of successfully quitting smoking double when you reach for the patch, gum, lozenges, the inhaler, or the spray, so it's usually worth the effort to sort through the facts about NRTs and reach for at least one. Choosing an NRT When used correctly, all five NRTs have about the same efficacy, according to the 2008 Clinical Practice Guideline for treating tobacco use and dependence, published by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. But each method addresses a different combination of physical and psychological withdrawal. Start by assessing your own situation. Ask yourself how many cigarettes you smoke per day and the circumstances under which you generally decide to light up. If you tend to panic at the first twinge of nicotine withdrawal, for instance, then the easy-to-grab gum may be your best option. On the other hand, if you happen to miss inhaling smoke, the inhaler might be right for you."

When a nicotine lozenge is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve over the course of 20 to 30 minutes, nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream, relieving short-term cravings to smoke. Nicotine lozenges are sugar-free and come in cinnamon, fruit and mint flavors. Because acidic foods and beverages can inhibit the absorption of the nicotine through the lining of the mouth, the manufacturer recommends waiting 15 minutes after eating before using a nicotine lozenge. Do not smoke while using nicotine lozenges. Nicotine Lozenge Brands and Strengths The nicotine lozenge is an over-the-counter medication -- a doctor's prescription is not needed. Brand Names: Brand names associated with the nicotine lozenge are Commit, Nicorette, and Nicorette Mini Lozenge. All of these brands are made by Glaxo Smith Kline. Strengths: The Nicorette/Commit lozenge is available in two strengths, 2mg and 4mg. The Nicorette mini lozenge is also available in 2mg and 4mg strengths, but is smaller in size and dissolves up to 3 times faster than regular Nicorette lozenges."

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

"text": "\"New Nicotine Inhaler May Help Smokers Quit Vapor Puffs From New Device Carry Nicotine Deep into Lung By Daniel J. De Noon From the Web MD Archives March 1, 2010 -- A new type of smoke-free inhaler gives would-be quitters a vapor with nearly as much nicotine as a cigarette. Nicotine replacement is one of the most effective tools for helping smokers quit, says Jed Rose, Ph D, director of the Duke Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research. \"\" There is the patch, gum, lozenges, and the current inhaler. But none effectively satisfy a smoker's craving for the act of inhaling and feeling nicotine going into the lungs and giving that rapid boost of nicotine into the bloodstream in a user-friendly way,\"\" Rose tells Web MD. The problem is that cigarettes are still the most efficient nicotine-delivery device ever created, says Scott Mc Intosh, Ph D, associated director of the smoking research program at the University of Rochester, N. Y., who was not involved in the Rose project. \"\" It would be great to have a product that would deliver nicotine as well as a cigarette,\"\" Mc Intosh tells Web MD. Continue Reading Belowyou might like That's exactly what Rose's and colleagues -- including James E. Turner, co-inventor of the older Nicotrol / Nicorette inhaler -- set out to invent. The device they came up with does not use fire or heat. Instead, as the smoker draws air through the cigarette-shaped device, a chemical called pyruvic acid is drawn into contact with nicotine, creating a cloud of nicotine pyruvate vapor. As pyruvic acid is a naturally occurring chemical that's part of the metabolism of every cell in the body, Rose says it does not add toxicity to nicotine."

It could be because of their highly-popular, grossly-paid celebrity endorsers. It could be due to their very strong marketing strategy. Or maybe it’s just the slogan. Or the check mark. Whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: the Nike shoes in the list below are the ones that you, at one time, dreamt of having. The most popular Nike shoes of all time are:10.

"text": "\"Article Tools Print This Page | Comments (15) | Suggest a Story What Exactly is Protective Custody? By Adrian Smith Published: 04/23/2012 From the outside looking in, one may wonder what exactly is Protective Custody as it pertains to Jails and Prisons? Protective Custody is a type of imprisonment (or care) to protect an inmate (or the person) from harm, either from outside sources or other inmates. Many Corrections Administrators believe the level of violence, or the underlying threat of violence within Jails or Prisons, is a chief factor causing the need for PC (Protective Custody) units. Inmates have the opportunity to request protective custody if they get the impression that the environment they are living in is harmful to their well-being. Their request may be granted if the officials rule that the inmate is truly at risk. Early uses of protective custody started in the 1960s law enforcement, but it was use infrequently. Federal prosecution of organized crime figures led to the offering of witness protection to key government informers. In 1964, Joseph Valachi became the first La Cosa Nostra member to Publicly testify to the existence of the organized crime group, appearing before a congressional committee. Valachi, who was facing the death penalty, agreed to testify in return for personal protection."

The Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly - Platinum Red boot. The Mercurial Vapor is a football boot manufactured by Nike. The boot is known for being lightweight. Because of this, the boot is endorsed by many players for whom speed is part of their game, notably wingers or strikers, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Franck Ribéry, Luiz Adriano, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Didier Drogba, Jesús Navas, Luka Modrić, Arturo Vidal, Douglas Costa, Xherdan Shaqiri, Raheem Sterling, Stephan El Shaarawy, Eden Hazard, Alexis Sánchez, Carlos Bacca and Philippe Coutinho, among others. [ 1]In 1998, Nike launched the first Mercurial football boot — a shoe inspired by and designed for Brazilian star Ronaldo, which he debuted at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. [ 2] The boot is in its eleventh version the Nike Mercurial Vapor XI. The boot is available in either Soft Ground (SG) (now Soft Ground Pro; SG-Pro), Firm Ground (FG) or Artificial Ground (AG) versions. The SG version's sole plate is fitted with six Nike Snap removable studs (now with molded plastic studs), which can be purchased in different lengths, for the first and second models, and traditional screw-in aluminium studs for versions 3 to 8; the FG version has seven moulded blades.

"text": "\"Bias/diagonal cut (cutting on the cross) Bias-cut sections will fall fluidly whether on a skirt, draped top or tie. It’s important for the fabric to be cut out exactly at an angle of 45 degrees to the grain line. Normally the printed grain line, parallel to the selvedge, will show you the correct position to place your paper pattern pieces on the fabric (with the automatic slanting). However, for bias binding strips and other made-to-measure fabric pieces where there are no paper pattern pieces but which have to be cut diagonally, you must find the right slant yourself! This is easiest when your fabric has a selvedge; fold your fabric so that the selvages lie at a right angle and the fold will be at exactly 45 degrees. Lightly iron the fold and cut along it, or straighten out the fabric, mark the fold with tailor’s chalk or by basting a thread, then iron flat again. If your fabric has no selvages, cut across your fabric by pulling out a fabric thread and exactly cutting along this line. Then fold this absolutely straight edge to obtain your exact diagonal, as described above Share This Print page3 Comments Sign in to add a post Nov 17, 2017, 06.03 AM by lee520Despite nike roshe run you can actually firm nike free 30% cheap nike air max rate nike clearance of nike roshe run growth, new jordans It’s nike store to nike free 5.0 disagree Yeezy most under armour discount up-to-date moncler men worth moncler jacket were tempting. adidas store In nike air max 90 addition, All deal nike air max in needs a nike free run premium Michael Kors Jet Set Bag dealing nike sneakers with friends because nike cleats of nike air max abrupt growing muscle mass air max 90 and Michael Kors Handbags On Sale will adidas yeezy rising Yeezy Boost its returns. nike shoes I am nike outlet inclined christian louboutin shoes to nike roshe run avoid cheap beats by dr dre the Michael Kors Jet Set Tote stock market rich in moncler women values for nike shoes the jordans for girls an source Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost of beats earbuds income pass-up is allowed beats by dre studio to bring moncler sale sharp nike huarache diminishes nike shoes for men inside nike free run of nike factory store the stock."

"text": "The Nike Designer Who Created The Roshe Re-invented The Air Max 95July 14, 2015 by Zack Schlemmer3.56 / 5 9 VOTESAre there any Nike Roshe Run fans out there reading this? Of course there are, as it’s one of the most popular sneakers in the world. Well, we’re not here to talk about the Roshe, but we are here to talk about the shoe’s designer, Dylan Raasch, who obviously hit the ball out of the park when he crafted the modern casual classic. Knowing Raasch’s background with the Roshe, it’s easy to see his signature minimalist aesthetic within his new redesign of the iconic Air Max 95. Crafted especially for women, the Air Max 95 Ultra strips down the original Air Max 95 with a seamless Hyperfuse upper and predominantly foam outsole with Air cushioning in only the heel. The result is a simplified, less bulky, and therefore more feminine take on the timeless running shoe.

"text": "Types of Nike Shoes SHARESBy Clint Hale Nike, thanks in part to its sponsorship of phenom Tiger Woods, has made plenty of headway in recent years with an array of golf products. This includes golf shoes, for which Nike features plenty, including several series and individual models for men, women and youth golfers. Nike Air Zoom Series The Air Zoom series features five different models, ranging in price from $136 to $270. Those models, in descending order of price, are: *Air Zoom TW 2009 ($270) *Air Zoom Vapor ($176) *Air Zoom Pro CS ($175) *Air Zoom Elite II ($155) *Air Zoom Tour ($136) The Air Zoom models are considered the finest of Nike's golf shoe offerings, as evidenced in part by their retail price. Styles range from a classic feel (such as the Air Zoom Pro CS) to a bit sportier (Air Zoom Elite II). Nike Air Max Series This popular Nike series features three particular styles, ranging in price from $110 to $130. The three styles, in descending order of price, are: *Air Max Rejuvenate ($130) *Air Max Rejuvenate S ($130) *Air Max Summer ($100) The Rejuvenate series cost a bit more and come in a black/white color scheme, while the slightly lower-priced Summer series have more colorful options. Nike Air Tour Series This series of Nike golf shoes features three styles, ranging in price from $95 to $130. Those three styles, in descending order of price, are: *Air Tour Classic ($130) *Air Tour Sport ($110) *Air Tour Saddle ($95) All three styles come in a conventional black/white/gray color scheme. Nike Power Player This moderately priced ($75) shoe features water-resistant synthetic leather and a sleek silver/black color scheme."

"text": "Nissan Altima Parts and Nissan Altima Accessories Shop Nissan Altima With one look at the Nissan Altima, you will be easily convinced that it is a Japanese car. It has the sleek style and the elegant, curvy looks inherent to most Nissan cars. But a closer look at the car reveals a larger body-a size not commonly used by Japanese car manufacturers for their cars, which are mostly small and compact sedans. This makes the Nissan Altima different from the rest of the Japanese cars, and even different from the rest of the Nissan fleet. While the Nissan Altima has a Japanese root, and a natural Japanese look, it is specifically made for the North American car buyer. The current version of the Nissan Altima is a mid-size car offered in only the four-door sedan body style. This is the same version of the Nissan Altima introduced in 2002, although there have been a lot of minor revisions made especially on style and some interior equipments. The car is currently offered in four trim levels: 2.5S, 3.5SE, 3.5SL, and SE-R; and is available with two engine options: a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 175 hp with 180 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 260 hp with 251 lb-ft of torque. Three basic transmission options are available: a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed manual transmission, and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard on some models is a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode."

"text": "\"The Differences Between I-4, I-6, V-6 & V-8 Engines By Jeff Youngs, August 10, 2012Engines with 4, 5, 6 or 8 cylinders power the majority of modern cars. There are exceptions, of course, perhaps most notably the 10-cylinder engine in the Dodge Viper or the 12-cylinder engines installed in several high-end luxury sedans. But most of today's vehicles employ the more common cylinder counts. An engine cylinder is where the combustion process occurs. Inside each cylinder is a piston, which moves up and down inside the cylinder (or side to side, as we will learn). Each cylinder is connected to a crankshaft. The crankshaft delivers the energy created by the combustion process to the transmission and, ultimately, to the wheels that drive the vehicle. Generally speaking, the more cylinders an engine has, the more horsepower and torque an engine makes. Engine cylinders are typically arranged in a vertical orientation, lined up one after another from the front to the rear of the engine, or in a V-shaped orientation with an equal number of cylinders on each side. When engine cylinders are vertically oriented, the engine has an \"\"inline\"\" configuration, which is used in conjunction with 4, 5, or 6 cylinders."

"text": "\"1 of 13 The redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima.2013 Nissan Altima: Drive review: Redesign boosts sedan's comfort, road manners May 24, 2012Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email What is it? Nissan's design objective for the 2013 Altima was to create a car that was \"\"a class above\"\" the actual category in which this model plays. Sure, it sounds like a glib promotional line, but we had several people come up to us during the initial drive experience and ask if this was a new Lexus. Clearly they thought they were looking at a premium brand and we won't argue with that. The sheetmetal now has a more sophisticated character, and even the joker-grin grille that Nissan favors doesn't detract much from the expensive look. While the rear end looks familiar, the deep-draw trunklid stamping produces interesting contours, and the prominent chrome accent bar's subtle shape was influenced by styling from a Shinto temple. The car's profile is clean, and the strategic creases in its sides are right up to date with current design trends. All in all, the new Altima is a good-looking piece, and it even weighs less now thanks to the use of aluminum for the hood and bumper reinforcements, and expanded use of high-tensile steel. Overall, total vehicle weight was reduced by about 80 pounds. The new car's dimensions are much as they were for its predecessor, but the new unibody benefits from a front strut-tower brace and an additional structural support at the rear parcel shelf to improve solidity."

"text": "2018 Nissan Cars The Nissan Altima is one of America’s best selling cars, and Nissan has seen enormous success with their Versa small car, and has also added the all-new Versa Note hatchback to the line-up. Nissan has also had success with their Sentra compact, Murano and Rogue crossovers and Frontier pickup. Halo cars like the 370Z and 370Z Roadster, the GTR supercar and Leaf electric car have helped the brand’s image, but other vehicles like the Juke crossover, Maxima full-size sedan, Pathfinder and Armada SUVs and the Titan full-size pickup haven’t achieved much success recently. The Rogue Sport is a new addition to the brand, as is the Nissan Kicks subcompact crossover. Nissan, originally known as Datsun in America, got off to a strong start in the late 1960s and 1970s by offering affordable, reliable alternatives to European cars with offerings like the 240Z and 510 sports cars. A name change to Nissan in the 1980’s had little impact on the brand’s success, and their vehicles have constantly won critical acclaim. 2018 Nissan Leaf First Look Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Infiniti will take that strategy a step further this year when it opens a plant in Mexico, marking the brand's fifth country for production. The strategy is accepted wisdom around the industry -- but not always in the premium segment. Infiniti has gone beyond even its two more established Japanese rivals, Lexus and Acura. The multination strategy is all the more brazen for Infiniti because it is one of the industry's smallest premium brands.

' 94 Altima - Replace Fuel Injectors The fuel injectors are located behind the valve cover toward the firewall and are secured to the fuel rail by two screws and a cap. Remove the electrical connector, screws and cap. ( If screws are difficult to remove, try soaking the screws in penetrating oil or follow the tip below.) The theory is to twist, rock and turn while pulling slightly upwards. Look at the top of the injectors, they have holes on both sides, grip the sides with a pair of bent needle nose Vise-Grip pliers. Lock it on with just enough pressure to grip the sides of the injector firmly, too much and you'll break the plastic. Gently rotate and rock the injector back and forth while gently prying it upward between the fuel rail and the pliers with a bladed screwdriver."

BY Kate Mcleod NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Thursday, September 11, 2014, 5:22 PMfacebook Tweet email1 | 2The 2015 Nissan Altima is one of the best-selling sedans in the U. S. car market. ( Nissan)MSRP$31,000Engine2.5-L 4-cyl. Power182-hp MPG31 city/38 hwy Full Car Details More Reviews Strictly by the numbers, the Nissan Altima is doing great. As Nissan’s best-selling car in the U. S., the Altima ranks third in sales in the hugely competitive midsize sedan segment, right behind sales leaders like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. But even these popular models had better watch their backs, considering that outlying competitors –such as the Mazda6, Chrysler 200, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata –are itching for a fight to the top. Cars are more than numbers, however, and our initial impression of our Nissan test car’s 182-horsepower, 2.5-Liter 4-cylinder engine left something to be desired. Our front-wheel-drive Altima SL seemed awfully noisy, especially if a long drive lay ahead. That initial impression faded away, thankfully, as the Altima showed off its sensible side (mixed with a touch of sportiness). Our car came with Nissan’s upgraded continuously variable transmission (CVT) that delivers better fuel economy and less friction than before."

"text": "\"For other uses of \"\"Crossover\"\", see Crossover (disambiguation). Peugeot 2008, a crossover in Europe A crossover or crossover utility vehicle ( CUV) is a vehicle built on a unibody car platform combining in highly variable degrees features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with those of a passenger vehicle, especially a station wagon or hatchback. Using unibody construction typical of passenger vehicles instead of the body-on-frame design of light trucks and the original SUVs, the crossover combines SUV features – such as a tall interior, high H-point seating, high ground-clearance, and AWD – with those of an automobile – including independent rear suspension, car-like handling, and lighter weight and better fuel economy than trucks or truck-based vehicles. A crossover may borrow features from a station wagon or hatchback, such as the two-box design of a shared passenger and cargo volume with rear access via a third or fifth door, a liftgate – and flexibility to allow configurations that favor either passenger or cargo volume, e.g., fold-down rear seats. Crossovers are typically designed for only light off-road capability, if any at all, [1] and are offered with front wheel drive, rear wheel drive [ citation needed] or all-wheel drive.

The 2015 Nissan Rogue may have a small third row, but it's a better car than the previous generation in virtually every way. The newer version of the Nissan Rogue you can buy is now only a year old, and it's more stylish and more spacious. The Rogue was redesigned for last year — at least one version of it. You can still find a 2015 version of the previous-generation Rogue on the road today called the Rogue Select, and it's intended only for rental fleets. Our recommendation is that you skip past the old version if it's offered to you — the 2015 Rogue is a significantly better product, and it earns class-leading fuel economy. The first thing you'll notice with this current generation of Nissan Rogue is the handsome styling. Gone are the wild grille treatments, replaced by something a little more conservative and considerably more contemporary. The front and rear of the crossover are both more interesting and modern, and the overall look is one that feels less economical. The interior is better organized and finished in attractive, higher-quality materials."

"text": "Buyer’s Guide Nissan Versa Facebook Twitter Google Plus Select a Year:2018 2017 20162015 2014Model Overview The Nissan Versa sedan and Nissan Versa Note hatckback are the automaker’s entry-level models that slot below the compact Sentra, midsize Altima, and premium Maxima sedans. The Versa sedan is one of the least expensive new cars available in the U. S. History The first new Nissan Versa hatchback hit the U. S. in 2007 riding on a platform jointly developed by Nissan and Renault. The hatchback model was followed shortly by a four-door sedan. Power for the Versa came from a 122-hp 1.8-liter I-4 mated to either a six-speed manual, four-speed auto, or CVT. In a 2007 economy car comparison, the Nissan Versa SL sedan placed second ahead of the Toyota Yaris, but behind the Honda Fit Sport. We said: “Unusual Euro styling plus high admission price were too much to earn it the gold, but it’s fun to drive-and quick. ”A 2009 Nissan Versa sedan with the 107-hp 1.6-liter I-4 and five-speed manual beat the 2009 Hyundai Accent GS with a 106-hp 1.6-liter I-4 and five-speed manual in a comparison of the two least expensive cars offered in the U. S. We concluded: “Quiet, comfort, and a pair of doors to access a usable back seat give it four checkmarks more than the Hyundai Accent .”The Versa got mild styling and equipment revisions for the 2010 model year. A more substantial redesign came to the sedan for 2012 with front end styling influenced by the larger Altima and Maxima sedans and a surprisingly spacious rear seat. The sole engine choice was a revised 109-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder with either a five-speed manual or CVT. In our 2012 Nissan Versa SL First Test we said, “ The Versa is safe, reliable, spacious, and inexpensive."

Fiat Fullscreen1 of 8Next Slide8 Photos Rental car categories cause confusion (Photo: GM)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREMost consumers know what they're getting if they request a king-sized bed at a hotel or a grande latte at Starbucks. But that's not so in the world of car rentals. At Avis, a Chevrolet Cruze is deemed intermediate or mid-sized, although the manufacturer calls it a compact. A Nissan Versa rented from Hertz is considered a compact, but its maker says it falls in the subcompact category. And Enterprise lists a Nissan Altima as full-size, though Nissan begs to differ, calling it a mid-sized car. A scan of several compact, mid-sized and full-sized rental cars reveals that in many cases, the size assigned by the three major rental companies differs from that of the manufacturer, often with a smaller vehicle being listed in a larger category. And many business travelers, who rely on rental vehicles to get them around while they're on the road, find the sizing disparities irritating. \"\" There is no relationship between what the general public thinks a mid-size or compact is vs. the car-rental companies,'' says Jay Hibbard, a member of USA TODAY's Road Warriors panel of frequent travelers, who is a vice president of government relations and based in Portland, Maine. \"\""

Dora · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Erectile dysfunction medications are incompatible with nitrates. These are the nitroglycerin that people take under their tongues for angina (chest pain). There are long acting nitrates that are sometimes used for blood pressure or chronic angina. A typical name is Imdur or Isosorbide Mononitrate. Nitrates and ED medications together cause drastic drops in blood pressure."

This group of drugs acts primarily by reducing heart rate and the strength of heart contraction. The major use of these drugs was in treating hypertension (previously)and angina. Recent concerns about the greater likelihood of developing diabetes have limited its use now. Certainly beta blockers are no longer first line treatments for hypertension. The difficulty is in patients who have been on beta blockers for some time. If blood pressure is still not optimally controlled, then it would be an opportunity to stop the beta blocker and consider alternatives. For those patients who have been on a beta blocker for some time and have good blood pressure control, then current recommendations are that they remain on the beta blockers. For angina, beta blockers are the mainstay of treatment because they reduce the demands or work the heart has to do. In addition, for patients that have had a heart attack, long term use of beta blockers will protect the heart against adverse events."

"text": "Home > Prescription Drugs > Atenolol > Atenolol Dosage Atenolol Dosageby Carol Parkeron May 4, 2012Tweet Each patient is given an individualized atenolol dosage depending on a number of factors that include the patient’s age, medical condition being treated, other underlying medical conditions, and other medications currently taken. For this medication to work effectively, you have to use it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. The information below includes only the usual doses of atenolol, as prescribed by physicians. If you are given a totally different dose, do not adjust or change it unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so. Treatment of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)The usual initial dose of atenolol (Tenormin) for adult patients with hypertension is 50 mg taken once a day. The maintenance dose may be adjusted after a couple of weeks. Depending on the patient’s response to the treatment (such as average blood pressure and possible side effects), the atenolol dosage may be increased or decreased. Your healthcare provider may also recommend additional antihypertensive medications, such as alpha-methyldopa, hydralazine, prazosin and thiazide-type diuretics, along with atenolol. This is especially true in cases where blood pressure is not well managed by taking atenolol alone. The daily dose of atenolol for management of high blood pressure must not exceed 100 mg."

Open Document Atenolol is a nationally known, commonly used medication that has helped to change the lives of many people in America. Atenolol, also known as Tenormin, is placed in a group of remedies known as beta-blocker. As a Beta-blocker, Atenolol is used to treat a range of bodily disorders in connection with anxiety and tension, such as high blood pressure, angina, irregular heart rhythms, migraines, prevention of a second heart attack, tremors, alcohol withdrawal, anxiety, and glaucoma. The three main malfunctions atenelol is used for are alcohol withdrawal, anxiety disorders, and cardiac disorders. Dealing with alcohol withdrawal, Atenolol can be used as an addition to tradition alcohol withdrawal treatment to help make the results more effective. In relation to anxiety disorders, atenolol is usually used in small stress reactions, minor panic disorders, and generalized anxiety syndrome. Results are most easily obtainable in patients who have bodily anxiety, as opposed to the mind, and helps reduce trembling and rapid heart beat. Atenolol also had a large affect on cardiac illnesses. In the most common, angina pectoris, atenolol is used to decrease the amount of repeated attacks and to prevent any immediate death. Atenolol is best effective on middle-aged or teenagers, and to those with high blood pressure and heart rate as a result of exercise."

Beta blockers improve cardiac performance indirectly by reducing the heart rate; prolonging diastole, which allows more time for ventricular and coronary arterial filling. The effects of atenolol on the cardiovascular system include decreased sinus heart-rate, slowed AV conduction, decreased cardiac output and oxygen demand, and decreased blood pressure. Beta-blockers may be cardioprotective in early cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy because they reduce myocardial oxygen demand. Atenolol is most commonly used with other cardiac anti-arrhythmic drugs. The bioavailability of atenolol is higher in dogs (80%) and cats (90%) than in humans. Atenolol undergoes minimal hepatic metabolism and is eliminated in the urine and to a lesser extent in the feces. Dogs and cats Dogs: Atenolol is used in dogs to treat arrhythmias, hypertension, obstructive heart disease, subvalvular aortic stenosis, and pulmonic stenosis. Atenolol may be used with other drugs, such as calcium channel blockers and ACEI drugs, in the treatment of systemic hypertension. When atenolol is used to treat atrial fibrillation in dogs, it is frequently used with digoxin."

"text": "\"May 31, 2013Angina Patient Information Fact Sheet Download: Angina Patient Information Fact Sheet What is angina? Angina is a heart condition that causes temporary pain or an uncomfortable feeling in the chest. It often occurs during exercise but can also be triggered by anxiety, stress, eating a large meal, or by cold or windy weather. An angina attack usually lasts from 1 to 10 minutes and may be relieved by resting. Angina is more common in men than in women and incidence increases with age. Angina is the most common form of coronary heart disease and is thought to affect around 17 million people in the US overall. Angina is more common in people from the Indian subcontinent and in people with diabetes. What causes angina? Angina is caused by an imbalance between the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart and the amount needed. There are four types of angina: stable angina, unstable angina, variant (Prinzmetal's) angina, and microvascular angina."

"text": "What Is Atenolol (Tenormin)?28 Reviews Atenolol, sold under the brand name Tenormin, is a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure. It is also used to treat angina and chest pain, and has been shown to improve survival rates after a heart attack by decreasing the severity of the heart attack. Lowering high blood pressure may also reduce kidney problems. Atenolol belongs to a class of medication known as beta blockers, which help control cardiovascular diseases by slowing down the heart and reducing its workload, thus lowering the blood pressure. The drug is manufactured by Astra Zeneca and is now available in generic forms made by other companies. Atenolol was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1981 for the treatment of high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. It's also used to treat heart rhythm disorders such as supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular irregular beats, and it's sometimes prescribed for alcohol withdrawal, Graves' disease, and prevention of migraines. Atenolol Warnings Atenolol must be used regularly in order to be effective. People with high blood pressure often do not feel sick, but the medication should be taken even when you feel healthy. If atenolol is used for chest pain, it must also be taken regularly."

With the right treatment, the symptoms of CHD can be reduced and the functioning of the heart improved. Lifestyle changes If you've been diagnosed with CHD, you can reduce your risk of further episodes by making simple lifestyle changes. For example, stopping smoking after a heart attack quickly reduces your risk of having a heart attack in the future to near that of a non-smoker.

"text": "Treatment for heart failure depends on the underlying cause for the heart failure and the severity of the symptoms. Sudden, severe symptoms of congestive heart failure require urgent treatment in the hospital for oxygen therapy and intravenous (IV) medications. Medications are the main form of treatment for heart failure, but it is important to treat underlying causes, such as diabetes, hypertension, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and valvular heart disease. Common medications used for the treatment of congestive heart failure include nitroglycerin, diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and potassium supplements. Additional procedures include angioplasty, cardiac surgery, heart pacemaker placement, and kidney dialysis. Lifestyle changes that can help reduce symptoms of congestive heart failure include smoking cessation, a heart-healthy diet, a low cholesterol diet, a low salt diet, an exercise plan, and weight reduction. A person with congestive heart failure, who has damage to the heart from an underlying illness, requires life-long treatment. However, a person can recover completely if the symptoms of heart failure are caused by an illness that does not damage the heart. General treatment for congestive heart failure usually includes: Healthy heart diet: Low cholesterol diet Low fat diet Low salt diet for CHFFluid restriction for congestive heart failure Elastic support stockings fro swollen lower legs Exercise plan developed by a doctor Smoking cessation Medications for the treatment of congestive heart failure may include: Beta-blocker medications ACE inhibitor medications Angiotensin receptor blocker medications Long acting nitroglycerin Isosorbide mononitrate ( Imdur)Isosorbide dinitrate ( Isordil)Diuretics: Furosemide ( Lasix)Metolazone ( Mykrox, Zaroxolyn)High dose nitrates: Nitroglycerin ( Nitro-Bid, Nitrol, Nitrostat)Nitroprusside sodium ( Nitropress)Morphine sulfate ( Duramorph, Astramorph)Digoxin Medications for low blood pressure: Dopamine ( Intropin)Dobutamine ( Dobutrex)Human B-type natriuretic peptides: Nesiritide ( Natrecor)Additional treatment for congestive heart failure may include: Oxygen therapy Surgery: Heart valve surgery Coronary artery bypass surgery for coronary artery disease Angioplasty for coronary artery disease Pacemaker therapy for cardiac arrhythmias Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator Cardiac resynchronization therapy: Uses a special biventricular pacemaker that allows the right and left ventricle to be stimulated automatically. Also has defibrillator capability Mechanical ventilation: Use of a ventilator to support breathing in severe heart failure Kidney dialysis Effective in the presence of end stage renal disease Weak Heart Angioplasty Congestive heart failure due to coronary artery disease may benefit from correcting blocked coronary vessels."

"title": "https://ehs.research.uiowa.edu/ppe-glove-selection-information\nPPE - Glove Selection Information",
"text": "According to OSHA's hand protection standard (29 CFR 1910.138), employers must select and require employees to use appropriate hand protection when employee's hands are exposed to hazards such as hazardous chemicals. Employees must know when gloves are necessary, what type of gloves are necessary, how to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear them, glove limitations, and their proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal. Gloves made of rubber (latex, nitrile, or butyl), plastic, or synthetic rubber-like materials such as neoprene can protect workers from chemical hazards and also reduce the risk of exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Four Basic Factors to Consider When selecting protective gloves, there are four basic factors to consider –How toxic is the material if absorbed through the skin? How the glove will be used? Using manufacturer test data for glove selection. Cost considerations. How toxic is the material if absorbed through the skin? Information pertaining to a specific chemical can be obtained from Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Lab Chemical Safety Summaries for common lab chemicals, OSHA Exposure Limits, ACGIH Exposure Limits, and toxicology studies. Key words are “S” or skin, dermal, LD50 dermal, or skin vapor hazard."

"text": "Nitrile Rubber Definition - What does Nitrile Rubbermean? Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber made from a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It has good elastomeric properties and is also resistant to physical hazards like punctures, cuts, snags, abrasion, oil, caustics and aliphatic hydrocarbons. As a result of its strength and resiliency, it is used in several saftety-related applications. Nitrile rubber is also known as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). Free Webinar | Hazardous Materials: Is Your Chemical Storage Solution Compliant? | May 10 @ 1 PM (ET)Safeopedia explains Nitrile Rubber Nitrile rubber is used in the production of fuel hoses, gaskets, rollers, gloves seals, grommets and other products where oil resistance is essential. Nitrile rubber gloves are also used in nuclear industry. This material is also ideal for aeronautical material as its operating temperature ranges from -40 to 108 °C (-40 to 226 °F). Other common uses of nitrile rubber include molded goods, footwear, adhesives, sealants, sponges, foams, non-latex gloves for the healthcare industry, automotive transmission belts and floor mats."

Molds are an important part of the natural environment and have been around for a long time. They are classified as part of the kingdom fungi being neither plant nor animal but a little of both and their role is to decompose dead organic matter such as fallen trees and dead leaves. There are approximately 150,000 types of molds and they are present everywhere in the indoor and outdoor environment. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores, which will grow where there is sufficient moisture and food (organic materials such as paper, wood, cellulose, etc.). In the indoor environment, mold growth is a symptom of a water problem. It can cause structural damage by decomposing wood, drywall, carpeting and other porous building materials. Health Effects The presence of mold does not present a health risk in most cases. Airborne mold spores are a common allergen. Individuals with allergies to certain types of mold may exhibit allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, upper respiratory irritation, cough and eye irritation."

The structure of a nitrile: the functional group is highlighted blue A nitrile is any organic compound that has a − C ≡ N functional group. [ 1] The prefix cyano - is used interchangeably with the term nitrile in industrial literature. Nitriles are found in many useful compounds, including methyl cyanoacrylate, used in super glue, and nitrile rubber, a nitrile-containing polymer used in latex-free laboratory and medical gloves. Nitrile rubber is also widely used as automotive and other seals since it is resistant to fuels and oils. Organic compounds containing multiple nitrile groups are known as cyanocarbons. Inorganic compounds containing the −C≡N group are not called nitriles, but cyanides instead.

"text": "Benefits of Flock Lined Nitrile Gloves August 18, 2015 • Melanie Predolich • Cleaning Gloves • Hand Protection • Nitrile Gloves • PPE •Safety Work Gloves • Work Gloves If you are looking for a glove that is comfortable, durable, and cost effective, look no further than a flock lined 8 mil nitrile glove. These gloves are suitable for a wide range of applications including industries like automotive, agriculture, and even fisheries! This week at Your Glove Source, we are introducing you to this great glove solution. Benefits of Using Flock Lined Gloves: The flocked lining of a nitrile gloves refers to the cotton lining that is inside the glove. This makes it much easier to put on and remove. Since the glove has the added layer of cotton in the lining, the glove becomes slightly thicker, providing a greater level of puncture and abrasion resistance. This added thickness also contributes to an increase in durability and comfort. Many of our customers report that the flock lining makes it convenient for users to remove gloves, complete another task, and return to using the flock lined gloves because they are so easy to take on and off. Users are then able to use one pair of gloves multiple times, which saves money. Ultimately these gloves are designed for one time use however."

"text": "Latex vs Nitrile vs Vinyl Gloves…Which to Choose? By B4 Brands on October 25, 2013 in Food Industry, Hand Hygiene, Healthcare, Infection Control, Schools – Education 0When deciding between latex, nitrile and vinyl gloves…it can be a little confusing trying to determine which type of glove is the ideal choice. Let’s take a closer look at the attributes and benefits of each type of glove. Latex Gloves Latex gloves are natural material, made out of rubber. They are a popular choice of protective glove for medical or industrial use. The primary reason people would choose an alternative to latex is because many people suffer from latex allergies. When allergy is not a concern, latex does have a slight advantage with comfort and dexterity over nitrile gloves. Attributes include: Fit like a second skin Have a high level of touch sensitivity Are good for wearing for an extended amount of time Work well for high-risk situations involving infectious material Are cost-effective Are lightly powdered, making it easier to put on Are very elastic and strong Are biodegradable Nitrile Gloves Nitrile gloves are made out of a synthetic rubber, and are an ideal alternative when latex allergies are of concern. Nitrile gloves are the superior glove when it comes to puncture resistance. Nitrile gloves are often referred to as “medical grade.”"

[ 1] Medical gloves are made of different polymers including latex, nitrile rubber, polyvinyl chloride and neoprene; they come unpowdered, or powdered with cornstarch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to put on the hands. [ 2] Cornstarch replaced tissue-irritating Lycopodium powder and talc, but even cornstarch can impede healing if it gets into tissues (as during surgery). As such, unpowdered gloves are used more often during surgery and other sensitive procedures. Special manufacturing processes are used to compensate for the lack of powder. There are two main types of medical gloves: examination and surgical. Surgical gloves have more precise sizing with a better precision and sensitivity and are made to a higher standard. Examination gloves are available as either sterile or non-sterile, while surgical gloves are generally sterile.

These gloves are designed to provide added hand protection without the added costs. In applications where the permanence of a glove made out of a more durable material isn’t necessary, these vinyl, nitrile, and latex styles are the ideal choices. Disposable gloves are also easy to put on and take off, making them a good choice for people who don’t want to fumble with more cumbersome alternatives. How to Pick the Right Disposable Glove for Your Needs You need to ask yourself two basic questions when picking the correct set of disposable gloves: How taxing will your work be? What level of protection do you need?"

"text": "\"Controlling Lily Leaf Beetles By Ann Whitman The adult form of the lily leaf beetle. Photo: Ann Whitman Colorful, hardy lilies have been a perennial garden mainstay for generations. Sadly, in some parts of the country gardeners have all but given up on these beauties, because of a small, red beetle with an insatiable appetite for lily foliage. Left unchecked, the lily leaf beetle devours leaves, leaving a bare, scarred stem in place of the usual sturdy stalk laden with flamboyant, trumpet-shaped blooms. Researchers are studying the effectiveness of introducing some of this exotic pest's natural enemies; in the meantime, there are safe, organic ways to help keep the pest in check. In regions that have been invaded by beetle, it takes diligence to protect lily plants. But that makes the rewards — glorious flowers and, in some cases, delightful fragrance — all the sweeter. Accidentally introduced into North America through Montreal, Quebec, in 1943, and discovered in Massachusetts during the summer of 1992, the scarlet lily leaf beetle ( Lilioceris lilii) wreaks havoc in flower gardens wherever it travels. As of June 2012, it has been found in all six New England states, New York and, most recently, near Bellevue, Washington. In Canada, the lily leaf beetle is present from the Maritime Provinces (excluding Labrador/Newfoundland) and west to Manitoba."

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels. At Texas Tech, employees are required to use PPE when working in laboratories, workshops, studios, and other places deemed appropriate if there are interactions with hazardous materials, machinery or other objects. Download the “ No Pants, No Shoes, NO SCIENCE ” poster for your lab. Hand Protection To lead off Week 2 of Safety@TTU, we’re covering some basics of hand protection, focusing primarily on gloves. Whether you work in a laboratory, studio or workshop, you are likely familiar with any number of hazards that could cause injury to your hands. Chemicals, sharp objects, tools, flames, welding and cold weather are among often cited causes of injury on the job—giving you all the more reason to guard your hands. Based on the type of hazard that you encounter, a specific type of hand protection will be needed. There are gloves and other types of hand protection that are resistant to chemicals, flames, cuts, punctures, and heat, as well as hand gear that is warming and suited for general work purposes. While hand protection options include thimbles, mitts, hand pads, sleeves and forearm cuffs, this blog concentrates on gloves."

PHOTO by Rachel Mabala In Summary Every line of work has its protective gear and if not worn, you might get some side effects. For gardening, Eseri Watsemwa writes about why you need gloves. Advertisement By Eseri Watsemwa Jennifer Naula thought her garden was too small to cause her any harm. She worked tirelessly to keep her flower bed, pots and lawn blooming in all seasons; all this with bare hands. Two years down the road, her once beautiful and youthful hands have taken the form of a builder’s- with hard palms that have splinters and a pale dermatitis allergy as the dermatologist later confirmed. She noticed she needed a pair of gloves way too late. Ideally, we were molded from soil and have no problem touching the earth and using it in any way with our bare hands plus breaking plants, pruning and applying the mulch bare handed. However, there is need to dress the fingers while gardening. Experts discuss some reasons why you need a pair of gloves while gardening."

Several of my preconceived notions have been stood on their heads. One treatment—powdered sugar—that I had dismissed as impractical, turns out to be surprisingly effective. I’ve got less of an “attitude” against Apistan and amitraz. Even scary, lung-searing formic acid has been tamed by Mite Away II. But the most important thing is that by really understanding the mite/bee relationship, and taking some simple steps, I hope to be able to approach varroa as an annoyance, rather than as a fearsome, mysterious enemy threatening to decimate my colonies. This week I dusted 100 lbs of powdered sugar one morning. My two sons and I figured out how a three-man crew could blast through yards of 36 colonies in 15 minutes without breaking a sweat. Not bad, but clearly, the market is ripe for a truck-mounted blower that can puff two cups of sugar dust into each hive (I’m still determining if dusting is a commercially viable option). Today I tried the suggestion of using outgassed Mite Away II pads for smoker fuel—what a pleasant surprise!"

If you or someone you know and love has a different way of doing things, that’s really okay.

Research into the psychological contributors to and treatment of this phenomen is still rare. Pain Pain Research Chronic Pain Share6 Recommendations Popular Answers ( 1)4 years ago Jose Eduardo Martinez Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)Unfortunately, there is not an ideal medicine to deal with this complex matter. If it is considered just the central sensitization, the most used medicines are the ones to enhance the central inhibitory descending pathways such the triciclics and duals anti-depressives and, on the other way ,the modulatory drugs of the ascending pathways, such the pregabalin and gabapentin. The major problem, in my opinion, is how to control the input of continuous stimulus. For example, osteoarthritis is a major cause of chronic pain and even with a good control of the central mechanisms, the input of stimulus goes on. In this case, the non medicinal treatments, such as exercises and the periphery analgesics are important to maintain musculoskeletal health and with less pain. Even when we discuss the central sensitization, the non medicinal treatments have to be adopted, since there is no treatment that gives full solution for our patients. Other main issue is the association with depression and anxiety that amplifies the symptomatology.9 Recommendations All Answers ( 45)4 years ago Igor Wilderman Wilderman Medical Clinic/Canadian Centre for Clinical Trials/Chronic Pain Clinic As a pain clinician I use medications such as Gabapentin, Pregabalin, Duloxetine and tricyclics.

Despite the importance of the NMDA receptor in the development and function of the brain, a molecular structure of an intact receptor has remained elusive. Here we present X-ray crystal structures of the Xenopus laevis Glu N1–Glu N2B NMDA receptor with the allosteric inhibitor, Ro25-6981, partial agonists and the ion channel blocker, MK-801. Receptor subunits are arranged in a 1-2-1-2 fashion, demonstrating extensive interactions between the amino-terminal and ligand-binding domains. The transmembrane domains harbour a closed-blocked ion channel, a pyramidal central vestibule lined by residues implicated in binding ion channel blockers and magnesium, and a ∼ twofold symmetric arrangement of ion channel pore loops. These structures provide new insights into the architecture, allosteric coupling and ion channel function of NMDA receptors. Main Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, acting at ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Rapid excitation by glutamate, in turn, solely involves action at AMPA, kainate and NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors 1. The NMDA receptor is central to the development and function of the nervous system and to neurotoxicity 2. As a linchpin of synaptic plasticity, blockade of the NMDA receptor interferes with memory formation and recall 3."

Studies of LTP are often carried out in slices of the hippocampus, an important organ for learning and memory. In such studies, electrical recordings are made from cells and plotted in a graph such as this one. This graph compares the response to stimuli in synapses that have undergone LTP versus synapses that have not undergone LTP. Synapses that have undergone LTP tend to have stronger electrical responses to stimuli than other synapses. The term long-term potentiation comes from the fact that this increase in synaptic strength, or potentiation, lasts a very long time compared to other processes that affect synaptic strength. [ 1]In neuroscience, long-term potentiation ( LTP) is a long-lasting enhancement in signal transmission between two neurons that results from stimulating them synchronously. [ 2] It is one of several phenomena underlying synaptic plasticity, the ability of chemical synapses to change their strength. As memories are thought to be encoded by modification of synaptic strength, [3] LTP is widely considered one of the major cellular mechanisms that underlies learning and memory. [ 2] [3]LTP shares many features with long-term memory, making it an attractive candidate for a cellular mechanism of learning."

Originally published in Journal of Drug Education and Awareness, 2003; 1:79-98. Erowid Note: The following was written as an undergraduate senior research project. Introduction and History: # Ibogaine is a naturally occurring indole alkaloid, found in a variety of African shrubs of the Tabernanthe genus (Obach, Pablo, and Mash, 1998). The root of the Tabernanthe iboga plant (also known as eboga) is the most frequently cited source of ibogaine, and this plant contains 11 other known psychoactive constituents (Popik, and Skolnick, 1999). Chemically, ibogaine is classified as a tryptamine, being a rigid analogue of melatonin, and is structurally similar to harmaline, another natural alkaloid and psychedelic (Xu et al., 2000). Ibogaine was first extracted from the Tabernanthe iboga root in 1901 by Dybowsky and Landrin (Goutarel, Gollnhofer, and Sillans, 1993). It can also be synthesized from nicotinamide by way of a 13 or 14 step process, although extraction from the iboga root is a simpler method for obtaining the compound (Shulgin and Shulgin, 1997). At low doses, ibogaine exerts primarily a stimulant effect, increasing alertness and reducing fatigue, hunger, and thirst (Rezavani, Overstreet, and Lee, 1995), though not in the manner of stereotypical CNS stimulants, such as amphetamine or cocaine (Da Costa, Sulklaper, and Naquet, 1908)."

A highly schematic diagram of the vertebrate nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. It receives direct sensory input from the eyes, nose, tongue, and ears. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises three sets of neurons: (1) somatic and visceral sensory neurons, which relay information to the CNS from receptors in somatic and internal organs; (2) somatic motor neurons, which innervate voluntary skeletal muscles; and (3) autonomic motor neurons, which innervate the heart, the smooth involuntary muscles such as those surrounding the stomach and intestine, and glands such as the liver and pancreas. The sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic motor neurons frequently cause opposite effects on internal organs. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are within the CNS; those of somatic sensory neurons and of autonomic motor neurons are in ganglia adjacent to the CNS.

However, there is growing evidence suggesting that the biological source of tinnitus may exist in one or more than one place in the auditory pathway. Recent studies have found that neurotransmitters or modulators, such as glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dynorphin, dopamine, neurosteroid, acetylcholine (ACh) and substance P, are involved in tinnitus generation. Animal and human studies have shown that some of these neurotransmitters and the agonists or antagonists of their receptors either affect tinnitus behaviors or demonstrate some degree of treatment effects on tinnitus. However, due to the unclear biological mechanisms of tinnitus and side effects of these drugs, the value of clinical usage of such drugs in treating tinnitus is yet to be established. Revealing the relationship between tinnitus and neurotransmitter receptor functions will help identify more effective drugs for tinnitus treatment. This article reviews the literature of neurophysiological studies on tinnitus in both animal and human subject studies at various levels of the auditory pathway. Previous article Next article Key words Tinnitus auditory system NMDA Serotonin GABA ACh Introduction Tinnitus is assessed based on patient’s subjective description rather than pathological source due to the lack of knowledge of its mechanisms and available objective measurement. However, there is growing evidence suggesting that tinnitus is more than a psychological hallucination. It has one or more than one physiologic source in the auditory pathway and/or in other parts of the central nervous system."

This is due in light of evidence brought about by \"\"dopamine\"\" who is now posting more frequently on our boards. This is taken from M & M, a thread started by dopamine. Quote Vinpocetine (ethyl apovincaminate) is a synthetic derivative of the alkaloid vincamine (from the periwinkle plant vinca minor) and has cerebral blood-flow enhancing (1) and voltage sensitive Na+ channel inhibiting properties (2), leading to it's use as a drug in Hungary, Germany and Russia in the treatment of cerebrovascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease (3). Vinpocetine has also become popular supplement in the United States, and is often marketed to otherwise healthy individuals for improvement of memory and self-treatment of age-associated memory decline. Though the specific mechanism of action of vinpocetine has not been fully elucidated, effects on the dopaminergic system have been scarcely investigated. Trejo F et al, 2001 reported on the \"\"Characterization of vinpocetine effects on DA and DOPAC release in striatal isolated nerve endings\"\" and found that vinpocetine increases DOPAC release, while simultaneously decreasing vesicular dopamine storage in a similar fashion as reserpine - an indole alkaloid with antipsychotic and antihypertensive properties with some structural similarities to vinpocetine (4). The authors report in the results section that \"\"vinpocetine at increasing concentrations progressively decreases internal DA and increases DOPAC release\"\" and \"\"markedly inhibits DAT-mediated release of endogenous DA.\"\" ( 5) The effects of vinpocetine on DA and DOPAC levels are not believed to be related to the well-demonstrated inhibitory effects on voltage sensitive Na+ channels, as \"\"vinpocetine increases DOPAC release independently of the state of presynaptic VSSC.\"\" A possible MAO-A enhancing mechanism is ruled out \"\"as vinpocetine fails to modify the inhibition of DOPAC formation caused by clorgyline\"\" - a potent inhibitor of MAO-A, \"\"indicating that a reserpine-like mechanism is involved in the vinpocetine-induced increase in DOPAC formation.\"\" ("

Ganglion cells collect information about the visual world from bipolar cells and amacrine cells (retinal interneurons). This information is in the form of chemical messages sensed by receptors on the ganglion cell membrane. Transmembrane receptors, in turn, transform the chemical messages into intracellular electrical signals. These are integrated within ganglion-cell dendrites and cell body, and ‘digitized’, probably in the initial segment of the ganglion-cell axon, into nerve spikes. Nerve spikes are a time-coded digital form of electrical signalling used to transmit nervous system information over long distances, in this case through the optic nerve and into brain visual centers. Ganglion cells are also the most complex information processing systems in the vertebrate retina. It is a general experimental truth that an organism as a whole cannot behaviorally respond to visual stimuli that are not also detectable by individual ganglion cells."

Cotman, Jennifer S. Kahle, Stephan E. Miller, Jolanta Ulas, and Richard J. Bridges INTRODUCTIONThe amino acid L- glutamate is now recognized as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Accumulating evidence suggests that the glutamate system is involved not just in fast synaptic transmission, but also in plasticity and higher cognitive functions. It is becoming clear that the glutamate transmitter system is organized at a high level of sophistication. This is evident in the organization of the glutamate receptor subtypes, which include both ionotropic and metabotropic receptor families. Ionotropic glutamate receptors (see Introduction to Preclinical Neuropsychopharmacology and Introduction to Preclinical Neuropsychopharmacology) can be distinguished pharmacologically by specific binding of the agonists N -methyl- D- aspartate (NMDA), kainic acid (KA), and a -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) () and include receptors that gate both voltage-dependent and voltage-independent currents carried by Na +, K +, and, in some cases, Ca 2+. Because Ca 2+ can act as a second messenger, it can initiate a wide range of intracellular responses. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (m Glu Rs) provide for another level of response complexity through their links with the phosphoinositide (PI) and cyclic nucleotide (c AMP) second messenger systems. Thus, different combinations of receptor subtypes can influence the specific functional capability of individual synapses and neurons. In contrast to a relatively simpler system, such as the neuromuscular junction, this complexity provides the infrastructure necessary of a system involved in higher cognitive function (see Schizophrenia and Glutamate: An Update, Biological Markers in Alzheimer’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Glutamate, and Oxidative Stress, and Potential Mechanisms of Neurologic Disease in HIV Infection ). This organization, however, appears to come at a cost."

One possibility is that human memory is similar to the memory chip in a personal computer (PC), which stores all the memory in one location. A second possibility is that our memories are distributed and stored in different regions of the brain. Third, how does memory work? What types of changes occur in the nervous system when a memory is formed and stored, are there particular genes and proteins that are involved in memory, and how can a memory last for a lifetime? Fourth, is the issue of importance to many people, especially as we age: How can memory be maintained and improved, and how can it be fixed when it is broken?7.1 Types of Memory Psychologists and neuroscientists have divided memory systems into two broad categories, declarative and nondeclarative (Figure 7.1)."

We aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of serum and CSF antibody testing in patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, and the relation between titres, relapses, outcome, and epitope repertoire. Methods In this observational study, we used rat brain immunohistochemistry and cell-based assays (CBA) with fixed or live NMDA receptor-expressing cells to determine the sensitivity and specificity of antibody testing in paired serum and CSF samples. Samples were obtained at diagnosis from patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and from control participants worldwide. We deemed a patient to be antibody positive if their serum, their CSF, or both tested positive with both immunohistochemistry and CBA techniques; we determined titres with serial sample dilution using brain immunohistochemistry. We examined samples from 45 patients (25 with good outcome [modified Rankin Scale, m RS 0–2], ten with poor outcome [m RS 3–6], and ten with relapses) at three or more timepoints. We determined the epitope repertoire in the samples of 23 patients with CBA expressing Glu N1-NMDA receptor mutants. Findings We analysed samples from 250 patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and 100 control participants. All 250 patients had NMDA receptor antibodies in CSF but only 214 had antibodies in serum (sensitivity 100·0% [98·5–100·0%] vs 85·6% [80·7–89·4%], p<0·0001). Serum immunohistochemistry testing was more often in agreement with CBA with fixed cells (77 [71%] of 108) than with CBA with live cells (63 [58%] of 108, p=0·0056)."

( November 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Anoxic depolarization is a progressive and uncontrollable depolarization of neurons during stroke or brain ischemia in which there is an inadequate supply of blood to the brain. [ 1] Anoxic depolarization is induced by the loss of neuronal selective membrane permeability and the ion gradients across the membrane that are needed to support neuronal activity. Normally, the Na+/K+-ATPase pump maintains the transmembrane gradients of K + and Na + ions, but with anoxic brain injury, the supply of energy to drive this pump is lost. [ 2] The hallmarks of anoxic depolarization are increased concentrations of extracellular K + ions, intracellular Na + and Ca 2+ ions, and extracellular glutamate and aspartate. Glutamate and aspartate are normally present as the brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitters, but high concentrations activate a number of downstream apoptotic and necrotic pathways. This results in neuronal dysfunction and death.

"text": "About Glutamate Toxicity By Stephanie Liou 26 Jun, 2011 Glutamate Toxicity Glutamate is a powerful excitatory neurotransmitter that is released by nerve cells in the brain. It is responsible for sending signals between nerve cells, and under normal conditions it plays an important role in learning and memory. There are two general ways, however, that glutamate can actually be damaging to nerve cells and the brain as a whole. First, there can be too much glutamate around; abnormally high concentrations of glutamate can lead to overexcitation of the receiving nerve cell. Second, the receptors for glutamate on the receiving nerve cell can be oversensitive, such that less glutamate molecules are necessary to excite that cell. In both cases, cells activated by glutamate become overexcited. This overexcitation can lead to effects that can cause cell damage and/or death. For this reason, glutamate is referred to as an excitotoxin when it causes cellular damage. Scientists have found that certain glutamate receptors in the nerve cells of patients with HD tend to be oversensitive to glutamate. For some patients with HD, glutamate can act as an excitotoxin, even if its levels are not particularly high."

( Abbott; Activity Neuronal, 63)Motor neurons, which relay neural commands to drive skeletal muscle movements, encompass types ranging from “slow” to “fast,” whose biophysical properties govern the timing, gradation, and amplitude of muscle force.

Fast motor neurons, in contrast, are larger, exhibit high activation thresholds with shorter afterhyperpolarizations, and can fire in high-frequency bursts."

Top Abstract Aim: To investigate the role of glutamate and N -methyl- D -aspartate (NMDA) receptors in central sensitization following peripheral inflammation in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the mediobasal hypothalamus. Methods: Mediobasal hypothalamic slices were prepared from rats undergoing peripheral inflammation, which was induced by a unilateral injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into hind paw. Neuronal activation levels in the ARC were monitored by recording extracellular unit discharges. The NMDA receptor NR1 subunit (NR1) was measured using Western blot analysis. Results: Enhanced NR1 phosphorylation was observed in the ARC of CFA-inflamed rats. Compared with the control rats, the firing rate of spontaneous discharges in ARC neurons of inflamed rats was significantly higher, and it was significantly reduced both by an NMDA receptor antagonist (MK-801, 300 μmol/L) and by a non-NMDA receptor antagonist (CNQX, 30 μmol/L). Application of exogenous glutamate (200 μmol/L) or NMDA (25 μmol/L) resulted in increased neuronal discharges for ARC neurons, which was enhanced to a greater extent in inflamed rats than in control rats. Conclusion: Glutamate receptor activation in the hypothalamic ARC plays a crucial role in central sensitization associated with peripheral inflammation."

Each withdrawal leads to more severe withdrawal symptoms than in previous episodes. Individuals who have had more withdrawal episodes are at an increased risk of very severe withdrawal symptoms, up to and including seizures and death.

Ethanol (alcohol) has a very similar mechanism of tolerance and withdrawal to benzodiazepines, involving the GABA Areceptors , NMDA receptors and AMPA receptors, but the majority of research into kindling has primarily focused on alcohol. [ 1] An intensification of anxiety and other psychological symptoms of alcohol withdrawal also occurs.

Tonic activity consists of a regular spike firing pattern of ~1-6 Hz that DA neurons usually exhibit in the absence of salient stimuli (Grace and Bunney, 1984b; Schultz et al, 1997). Tonic firing patterns maintain basal extracellular levels of DA in afferent regions, and can be affected by visceral stimuli that can moderately increase or decrease efferent DA levels to provide a “tone” on DA receptors (Grace, 1991). These levels recorded using in vivo microdialysis are on the order of 0.3 to 15n M in the striatum and PFC (Devoto et al, 2001; Garris et al, 1993; Garris and Wightman, 1994; Hernandez and Hoebel, 1995; Hildebrand et al, 1998; Ihalainen et al, 1999; Izaki et al, 1998; Shoblock et al, 2003). Phasic activation of DA neurons increases their firing rates to ~20Hz (Grace and Bunney, 1984a; Kiyatkin and Zhukov, 1988; Kiyatkin and Stein, 1995), which also results in significant but transient increases in extracellular DA concentrations (Phillips et al, 2003; Williams and Millar, 1990; Lavin et al, 2005). Changes in the firing rate of DA neurons can evoke a wide range of effects on efferent neurons by increasing or decreasing levels of DA (Phillips et al., 2003; Williams and Millar, 1990; Lavin et al. 2005)."

Physically, nonmetals tend to be highly volatile (easily vaporized ), have low elasticity, and are good insulators of heat and electricity; chemically, they tend to have high ionization energy and electronegativity values, and gain or share electrons when they react with other elements or compounds. Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals; most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine), and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine). Moving rightward across the standard form of the periodic table, nonmetals adopt structures that have progressively fewer nearest neighbours. Polyatomic nonmetals have structures with either three nearest neighbours, as is the case (for example) with carbon (in its standard state [n 1] of graphite), or two nearest neighbours (for example) in the case of sulfur. Diatomic nonmetals, such as hydrogen, have one nearest neighbour, and the monatomic noble gases, such as helium, have none. This gradual fall in the number of nearest neighbours is associated with a reduction in metallic character and an increase in nonmetallic character. The distinction between the three categories of nonmetals, in terms of receding metallicity is not absolute."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry What Gases Make Up the Air We Breathe? By Jack Powell; Updated January 30, 2018The Earth’s atmosphere is a layer of gas held in place by gravity, which prevents it from escaping into space. It protects life by absorbing UV radiation, by holding in heat to warm the Earth’s surface and by reducing temperature extremes between day and night. The gases that comprise the atmosphere are commonly referred to as air, which is what all living things on Earth breathe. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)The majority of the air we breathe is made up of nitrogen and oxygen, though you'll also find argon, carbon dioxide and other gases in trace amounts. Nitrogen: Abundant and Inert It’s a common misconception that oxygen is the most abundant gas in the air breathed on Earth; that honor goes to nitrogen, which makes up 78 percent of the air. Nitrogen occurs as N2 — two nitrogen atoms bonded together. The bond is very strong, making the gas chemically inert. Although inhaled nitrogen passes into the bloodstream, it is not used by the cells in the body. However, since nitrogen is essential for life — it is found in RNA, DNA and proteins — it must be converted to compounds with less stable bonds to be used by animals."

In terms of behavior, Argon is considered very stable but not totally inert. This gaseous chemical has no color and no odor and/or taste. It is also considered safe and non-toxic making it very useful. When exposed to an electric field, Argon will display a violet and/or lilac glow. With this kind of colorful glow, Argon is commonly grouped with other glowing gases like neon and helium. Being an inert gas, scientists in the past were not able to take advantage of Argon’s properties. It was initially believed that Argon is not able to combine well with other chemicals when in fact it is very stable enough when mixed with other gases."

For example, weather balloons often use hydrogen due to cost, with side benefits being lower density and lower diffusion rates across the membrane; flammability is not a major concern. – 200_success Sep 8 '14 at 17:402Since helium is on shortage, fewer and fewer places use it any more for balloons. – Greg Sep 10 '14 at 3:07Using H2 is needed for balloons too, because the Hydrogen in normal conditions exists only as paired atoms in an Hydrogen molecule. This is important for example for the diffuse rate - where Helium has much higher rate as H2 - exactly because the Hydrogen molecule (H2) is much bigger as one atom He - so the Helium has higher diffuse rate as H2. – jm666 Sep 10 '14 at 10:03add a comment6 Answers active oldest votesup vote52down voteaccepted As other answers have noted, the only gas lighter than helium is hydrogen, which has some flammability issues that make it more difficult to handle safely than helium. Also, in practice, hydrogen is not significantly \"\"lighter\"\" than helium. While the molecular mass (and thus, per the ideal gas law, the density) of hydrogen gas is about half that of helium, what determines the buoyancy of a balloon is the difference between the density of the gas inside the balloon and the air outside."

Narcosis while diving (also known as nitrogen narcosis, inert gas narcosis, raptures of the deep, Martini effect) is a reversible alteration in consciousness that occurs while diving at depth. It is caused by the anesthetic effect of certain gases at high pressure. The Greek word ναρκωσις (narcosis) is derived from narke, \"\"temporary decline or loss of senses and movement, numbness\"\", a term used by Homer and Hippocrates. [ 1] Narcosis produces a state similar to drunkenness (alcohol intoxication), or nitrous oxide inhalation. It can occur during shallow dives, but does not usually become noticeable at depths less than 30 meters (100 ft). Except for helium and probably neon, all gases that can be breathed have a narcotic effect, although widely varying in degree.

It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless [2] noble gas. It occurs naturally in minute quantities as an intermediate step in the normal radioactive decay chains through which thorium and uranium slowly decay into lead and various other short-lived radioactive elements; radon itself is the immediate decay product of radium. Its most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of only 3.8 days, making radon one of the rarest elements since it decays away so quickly. However, since thorium and uranium are two of the most common radioactive elements on Earth, and they have three isotopes with very long half-lives, on the order of several billions of years, radon will be present on Earth long into the future in spite of its short half-life as it is continually being regenerated. The decay of radon produces many other short-lived nuclides known as radon daughters, ending at stable isotopes of lead. [ 3]Unlike all the other intermediate elements in the aforementioned decay chains, radon is, under normal conditions, gaseous and easily inhaled."

These materials are brittle and cannot be used as a structural component in a design. The actual magnetic material is secured within a stainless steel enclosure. Rare Earth Magnets There are two types of rare earth magnets used in magnetic separators, Neodymium-Iron-Boron and Samarium Cobalt."

Iron, which is the chief constituent of Earth’s core, is the most abundant element in Earth as a whole (about 35 percent) and is relatively plentiful in the Sun and other stars. In the crust the free metal is rare, occurring as terrestrial iron (alloyed with 2–3 percent nickel) in basaltic rocks in Greenland and carbonaceous sediments in the United States (Missouri) and as a low-nickel meteoric iron (5–7 percent nickel), kamacite. Nickel-iron, a native alloy, occurs in terrestrial deposits (21–64 percent iron, 77–34 percent nickel) and in meteorites as taenite (62–75 percent iron, 37–24 percent nickel). ( For mineralogical properties of native iron and nickel-iron, see native elements [table].) Meteorites are classified as iron, iron-stone, or stony according to the relative proportion of their iron and silicate-mineral content. Iron is also found combined with other elements in hundreds of minerals; of greatest importance as iron ore are hematite (ferric oxide, Fe 2 O 3 ), magnetite (triiron tetroxide, Fe 3 O 4 ), limonite (hydrated ferric oxide hydroxide, Fe O (OH)∙ n H 2 O), and siderite (ferrous carbonate, Fe CO 3 ). Igneous rocks average about 5 percent iron content. The metal is extracted by smelting with carbon ( coke) and limestone.

"text": "Non-Destructive Magnetic Particle Inspection... You know it as... MAGNAFLUXINGcourtesy of Skinned Knuckles • by the S. K. staff We live in a world of generic products having taking on brand names. For example, when you grab for a tissue, you are reaching for a Kleenex. Grab a soft drink and it’s a Coke. Kleenex® is a registered name for the tissue product manufactured by Kimberly-Clark. Coke® is a registered trademark of the Coca Cola Company, but those products, and others like them, have become so ingrained into our society that the branded name takes over and serve as blanket identification of all products of that type. Magnaflux® is a brand name of the Illinois Tool Works, and is one of many types of magnetic particle inspection systems. But, like Kleenex® and Coke®, the name Magnaflux® has come to mean any type of non-destructive examination of ferrous materials. Okay, now that you know where I'm going with this, let’s discuss magnafluxing (sic). Often, whether to solve a specific problem, or as preventative maintenance, it is necessary to examine a car’s engine, or engine components, to locate and identify “invisible” cracks. Obviously, a visual examination is not going to be enough if the crack is tiny or sub-surface."

By Anne Mehla See all Articles by Anne Mehla Get Updates on Business Development Get Updates on Anne Mehla0Your rating: None Tweet When it comes to metals, there are a lot of terms tossed around in the industry that may mean nothing to everyday people like you and me. Some of these terms may be ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Although the terms sound a little daunting, there really isn’t that much too them – in no time, you’ll sound like a regular smelter!But why would you need to know what ferrous and non-ferrous metals are, and what the difference between them is? Firstly, if you are looking at recycling your old scrap, having an understanding of the industry can work greatly in your advantage. Secondly, there may be times that you come across the terms in written material, and having an understanding of what they mean can save you time and uncertainty. So, what are ferrous and non-ferrous metals? Ferrous The word ‘ferrous’ is derived from the Latin term ‘Ferrum’ which translates to iron. This means that ferrous materials contain some percentage of iron. It is easy to tell a ferrous metal from a non-ferrous one – most alloys are magnetic, and all will present with some kind of oxidization (a reddish rust)."

"text": "Materials Ferrous metals are mainly composed of iron and have magnetic properties. Steel, an iron alloy containing carbon, is by far the most-recycled material in the world. Total steel production in 2008 reached 1.3 billion tonnes, of which over 500 million tonnes were made from scrap metal. The most commonly recycled items are scrap from industrial processes, end-of-life products such as containers, vehicles, appliances, industrial machinery and construction materials. The use of scrap metal has become an integral part of the modern steelmaking industry, improving the industry’s economic viability and reducing environmental impact. Compared to ore extraction, the use of secondary ferrous metals significantly reduces CO 2 emissions, energy and water consumption and air pollution. At the same time, the recycling of steel makes more efficient use of the earth’s natural resources. Recycling Processes In general, metal recycling is a pyramid industry with many small companies at the bottom feeding scrap to large multinationals at the top. Steel recycling involves some, or,all of the following steps: A shredder in operation Recovery of aluminium and high value metals from an aeroplane Sorting: Because magnets attract steel, this metal can be easily separated from other recyclables like paper in a recycling facility with magnetic belts. Different kinds of steel do not need to be separated."

[ 1]The field of ferrous and non-ferrous extractive metallurgy have specialties that are generically grouped into the categories of mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and electrometallurgy based on the process adopted to extract the metal. Several processes are used for extraction of same metal depending on occurrence and chemical requirements. Contents [ hide ]1 Mineral processing2 Hydrometallurgy3 Pyrometallurgy4 Electrometallurgy5 References6 Further reading Mineral processing [ edit]Mineral processing begins with beneficiation, consisting of initially breaking down the ore to required sizes depending on the concentration process to be followed, by crushing, grinding, sieving etc. Thereafter, the ore is physically separated from any unwanted impurity, depending on the form of occurrence and/or further process involved. Separation processes take advantage of physical properties of the materials. These physical properties can include density, particle size and shape, electrical and magnetic properties, and surface properties. Major physical and chemical methods include magnetic separation, froth flotation, leaching etc., whereby the impurities and unwanted materials are removed from the ore and the base ore of the metal is concentrated, meaning the percentage of metal in the ore is increased."

There are three basic categories: Ferrous (magnetic), Non-Ferrous (non-magnetic), and Stainless Steel.1) Ferrous Metal is any metal that can be attracted to a magnet. This is iron and steel. In time it will rust when exposed to air and water. Ferrous metal is typically the easiest metal to detect and usually the most common contaminant in industrial environments. Examples include paperclips, thumbtacks, pins, staples, most screws, nails, washers, welding slag, rust, abrasions from metal to metal contact, and tools dropped into the conveyor.2) Non-Ferrous metal is non-magnetic metals (copper, aluminum, brass, lead, etc.) It will take approximately 50% more of a non-ferrous metal to be as detectable as a ferrous metal. Manganese is also a non-ferrous metal and difficult for most metal detectors to detect. MDI’s digital flat and surround systems are very effective in detecting manganese.3) Stainless Steel is always the most difficult metal to detect due to its poor electrical conductive qualities.

"text": "\"Ireland: Tax Property Investment Structures In Ireland: Irish Tax Issues Last Updated: 12 July 2013 Article by Conor Hurley, Caroline Devlin, Fintan Clancy, Ailish Finnerty, Jonathan Sheehan and David Robertson Arthur Cox Most Read Contributor in Ireland, March 2018In recent times there has been a welcome return to activity in the Irish real estate market. Overseas investors have been circling and private equity groups have started investing heavily in Irish real estate amid confidence that the Irish economy has stabilised and is returning to growth. In this briefing we explore some of the tax measures which have been introduced in Ireland, including the opportunities that Irish vehicles can offer to international investors in Irish and non-Irish real estate and mortgagebacked loans. Taxation of Irish Real Estate: The Basics Like many jurisdictions Ireland levies tax on the acquisition of Irish real estate (stamp duty), on rental income derived from Irish real estate (income tax / corporation tax), and on the disposal of Irish real estate (capital gains tax) including by way of gift or inheritance (capital acquisitions tax). Local property tax has also been recently introduced on residential property in Ireland. Stamp duty on the acquisition of Irish real estate applied at rates of up to 9% during the heady days of the Celtic Tiger but has since been reduced to 2% in respect of commercial (nonresidential property), and 1% in respect of residential property where the consideration is up to €1 million, and 2% on the balance over €1 million. Rental income derived from Irish real estate is subject to Irish income tax at marginal rates (20% or 41% depending on the level of income) for individual investors. They may also be liable for pay related social insurance (PRSI) and the universal social charge, although exemptions may apply in the case of non-Irish resident individuals. Irish resident companies are subject to Irish corporation tax at 25% on rental income. In addition, in the case of a closely held Irish resident company, a 20% surcharge applies in respect of 50% of the rental income held by the company which is not distributed within 18 months of the end of the accounting period in which the income arises."

Privacy & Terms Jonathan Sheehan and Conor Hurley of Arthur Cox explore some of the tax measures that have been introduced in Ireland, including the opportunities that Irish vehicles can offer to international investors in Irish and non-Irish real estate and mortgage-backed loans. In recent times there has been a welcome return to activity in the Irish real estate market. Overseas investors have been circling and private equity groups have started investing heavily in Irish real estate amid confidence that the Irish economy has stabilised and is returning to growth. Taxation of Irish real estate: The basics Like many jurisdictions, Ireland levies tax on the acquisition of Irish real estate (stamp duty), on rental income derived from Irish real estate (income tax / corporation tax), and on the disposal of Irish real estate (capital gains tax) including by way of gift or inheritance (capital acquisitions tax). Local property tax has also been recently introduced on residential property in Ireland. Stamp duty on the acquisition of Irish real estate applied at rates of up to 9% during the heady days of the Celtic Tiger but has since been reduced to 2% in respect of commercial (non-residential property), and 1% in respect of residential property where the consideration is up to €1 million ($1.2 million), and 2% on the balance over €1 million. Rental income derived from Irish real estate is subject to Irish income tax at marginal rates (20% or 41% depending on the level of income) for individual investors."

"text": "\"How to Start Your Non-Profitby Contributor A non-profit is an organization whose main objective is to support an issue or area of concern, such as a charity, an educational program or a religion. In the U. S., most non-profits are established with 501 (c) (3) tax status, meaning they are exempt from paying income tax and are able to receive charitable contributions that are tax-deductible. In certain cases, a non-profit may also be exempt from property tax. Create a mission statement for your non-profit. A mission statement expresses what your non-profit does and for whom. In other words, in one to two sentences, describe the goals of your organization. Form a board of directors. State requirements as to the minimum number of board members varies, so be sure to contact your state's Secretary of State office and determine its requirements first. Generally, you need a minimum of three board members. Your board of directors should consist of like-minded individuals that can help you attain your organization's goals by giving of their talent and time."

"text": "\"Non Profit Corporation Law and Legal Definition A nonprofit corporation is a corporation formed to carry out a charitable, educational, religious, literary or scientific purpose. A nonprofit can raise funds by receiving public and private grant money and donations from individuals and companies. Certain federal, state, and local income, property and sales tax exemptions are available to nonprofit corporations. The federal and state governments do not generally tax nonprofit corporations on money they make that is related to their nonprofit purpose, because of the benefits they contribute to society. The most common federal tax exemption for nonprofits comes from Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is why nonprofits are sometimes called 501 (c) (3) corporations. Tax exempt nonprofit organizations offer donors an individual deduction for contributions. ( Private donors can claim personal federal income tax deductions of up to 50% of adjusted gross income for donations made to 501 (c) (3) organizations. ) FORMATIONForming a nonprofit corporation is much like creating a regular corporation, except that nonprofits have to take the extra steps of applying for tax-exempt status with the IRS and their state tax division. The basic steps to follow include: Obtain nonprofit materials from your state's corporate filing office. This packet should include sample or fill-in-the blank articles of incorporation and your state's nonprofit corporation laws."

L. 2006, c. 44) imposes sales and use tax on the charges for initiation fees, membership fees or dues for access to or use of the property or facilities of a health and fitness, athletic, sporting or shopping club or organization in New Jersey, unless the club or organization’s members are predominantly age 18 or under. Initiation fees, membership fees and dues are charges for the right, privilege or entitlement to use the club or organization’s facilities, paid by those who have met the requirements for membership, which includes the mere payment of fees, dues, or similar charges. A membership conveys a right, privilege or entitlement which is not available to a non-member, other than as a guest. Under the statute, the fact that one of the rights or privileges is actual participation in the sporting activities does not affect the taxability of the membership. Charges in the Nature of Initiation Fees, Membership Fees or Dues Any fee that is required to be paid in order to gain access to or use of the property or facilities of a health and fitness, athletic, sporting or shopping club or organization in New Jersey is subject to tax as a \"\"charge in the nature of...\"\" Examples include, but are not limited to, joining fees, registration fees, sign-up fees, enrollment fees, etc. A separately stated charge for a class where an instructor is present is not subject to tax (i.e., karate, jazzercise, dance class, pilates, yoga, etc.). Charges for personal instruction are not subject to tax. See N. J. S. A. 54:32B-2 (e) (4) (A). Charges Made by Governmental Agencies and Exempt Organizations As of July 1, 2007, the law was amended (P. L. 2007,c.105) to exclude charges for initiation fees and membership fees or dues for access to property or facilities of: The State of New Jersey, or any of its agencies, instrumentalities, public authorities, public corporations or political subdivisions; for example, municipal and county pools, golf courses, tennis clubs and similar facilities; or Religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational organizations which applied to the Division of Taxation and were granted Sales Tax exemption."

Notable, Iowa has the highest maximum marginal corporate tax bracket in the United States.1.1 - Iowa Business Tax What is the Iowa corporate income tax? Iowa's corporate income tax is a business tax levied on the gross taxable income of most businesses and corporations registered or doing business in Iowa. The Iowa corporate income tax is the business equivalent of the Iowa personal income tax, and is based on a bracketed tax system. Similar to the personal income tax, businesses must file a yearly tax return and are allowed deductions such as wages paid, cost of goods sold, and other qualifying business expenses. What kind of businesses have to pay the Iowa corporate income tax? In general, all businesses operating in Iowa which are not registered as a flow-through entity (like a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or an S-Corporation) must report their income and pay both Iowa and Federal corporate income taxes on their earnings. The most commonly used business structure that is subject to corporate taxes is a C-Corporation . Because C-Corporations pay corporate taxes on their revenue in addition to the personal income taxes shareholders and owners pay on profits withdrawn from the company, profits received from a C-Corporation are subject to a phenomenon known as double taxation . S-Corporations and other flow-through entities aren't subject to the double taxation of revenue imposed on a C-Corp, because they aren't required to pay corporate taxes on their revenue."

The purpose of a non-profit corporation or association is to conduct business for the benefit of the general public without shareholders and without a profit motive. Nonprofit corporations are created according to state law. Like for-profit corporations, nonprofit corporations must file a statement of corporate purpose with the Secretary of State and pay a fee, create articles of incorporation, hold regular meetings, and satisfy other obligations to achieve and sustain corporate status. Nonprofit corporations are different than profit-focused corporations in several ways. The most simple difference is that nonprofit corporations cannot operate for profit. Meaning, they cannot allocate corporate income to shareholders. The funds acquired by nonprofit corporations must stay within the corporate accounts to pay for reasonable salaries, expenses, and the activities of the corporation."

"text": "Murphy’s Law The Property Tax Scam for Brewers, Bucks Odds are, the Bucks arena will get many secret tax subsidies, as Miller Park does. By Bruce Murphy - Jan 13th, 2015 10:57 am Sign-up for the Urban Milwaukee daily email Miller Park There was a time when the Milwaukee Brewers paid property taxes. They did so for the first 21 years of the their history. They are, after all, a private company, and benefited greatly from city services. The Brewers were operating in publicly-built facility, County Stadium, which was therefore tax-exempt, but all the property owned within the ball park by the Brewers was taxed. But in 1991, the legislature passed a little-noticed law which awarded a tax exemption to all the property connected to a stadium used by a professional athletic team, “including but not limited to parking lots, garages, restaurants, parks, concession facilities, entertainment facilities, transportation facilities, and other functionally related or auxiliary facilities and structures. ”The change in the law came at a time when the Milwaukee Brewers were doing poorly and then-owner Bud Selig was constantly harping about the travails of a small market-team. Once Miller Park was built, the revenue flowing to the team and its market value rose incredibly, yet that law was still on the books, so Miller Park remained completely tax exempt. As City of Milwaukee assessor Mary Reavey noted in an email responding to my question, “this means that all the businesses like TGI Fridays, the Brewer stores, etc are all now exempt from property taxes for both real estate and personal property. ”Legislators were apparently unaware this exemption was on the books, until 2003, when they asked the Legislative Audit Bureau to review the Brewers’ finances, and the LAB revealed that the team was exempt."

Redeemable equity contribution shall include membership stock, certificates of membership, refundable deposits, refundable capital surcharges, and refundable special assessments. ( 3) If all or part of a redeemable equity contribution paid to acquire or retain membership ceases to be carried as a liability on the books and records of a club that continues operation, or its successor, and the contribution has not been redeemed by a former member or former member’s estate, the amount of the contribution that is no longer carried as a liability shall be subject to sales tax."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The right of foreigners to vote in the United States [1] [2] has historically been a contentious issue. A foreigner, in this context, is an alien or a person who is not a citizen of the United States. Since 1996, a federal law has prohibited non-citizens from voting in federal elections, punishing them by fines, imprisonment, inadmissibility, and deportation. [ 3] [4] [5] Exempt from punishment is any non-citizen who \"\"reasonably believed at the time of voting (...) that he or she was a citizen of the United States,\"\" had a parent who is or was a citizen, and began permanently living in the United States before turning 16 years old. [ 3] The federal law does not prohibit non-citizens from voting in state or local elections, but no state has allowed non-citizens to vote in state elections since Arkansas became the last state to outlaw non-citizen voting in 1926. [ 6] 11 local governments, 10 of them in Maryland, allow non-citizens to vote in their local elections (Takoma Park, Barnesville, Martin's Additions, Somerset, Chevy Chase Sections 3 and 5, Glen Echo, Garrett Park, Hyattsville, and Mount Rainer). San Francisco allows noncitizens parents to vote in School Board elections (beginning in 2018). [ 7]However, over 40 states or territories, including colonies before the Declaration of Independence, have at some time given at least some aliens voting rights in some or all elections. [ 8] [9] [10] [11] For example, in 1875, the Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett noted that \"\"citizenship has not in all cases been made a condition precedent to the enjoyment of the right of suffrage. Thus, in Missouri, persons of foreign birth, who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, may under certain circumstances vote.\"\" ["

There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person. Citizenship status is defined exclusively by national laws, which can vary and can conflict. Multiple citizenship arises because different countries use different, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, criteria for citizenship. Colloquial speech refers to people \"\"holding\"\" multiple citizenship, but technically each nation makes a claim that a particular person is considered its national. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. This may be by requiring an applicant for naturalization to renounce all existing citizenship, or by withdrawing its citizenship from someone who voluntarily acquires another citizenship, or by other devices. Some countries do not permit a renunciation of citizenship. Some countries permit a general dual citizenship while others permit dual citizenship but only of a limited number of countries. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc."

By AMY BINGHAMSept. 12, 2012Email Reyna Almanza and her son strolled into the Progreso, Texas, school board election in 2009 just like 1,100 of their neighbors, cast their ballots and left. But hours later Almanza took her son back to the polls, where he used his incarcerated brother's name to vote a second time, breaking election laws and landing both mother and son in court. It is that kind of voter fraud that Texas' voter ID law, which was struck down in federal court last month, and similar laws passed in eight states over the past two years were written to prevent. But voter impersonation cases like Almanza's, who is serving 5 years of probation for illegal voting, are the exception, not the norm. Over the past decade Texas has convicted 51 people of voter fraud, according the state's Attorney General Greg Abbott. Only four of those cases were for voter impersonation, the only type of voter fraud that voter ID laws prevent. Nationwide that rate of voter impersonation is even lower. Out of the 197 million votes cast for federal candidates between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters were indicted for voter fraud, according to a Department of Justice study outlined during a 2006 Congressional hearing."

Roman citizens received many privileges. They had the right to participate in politics and they did not have to pay taxes.

At the same time, the country's cultural, social, and political institutions have been subject to enormous pressure -- domestically from multiculturalism and internationally from the rise of international cosmopolitanism. The later urges that Americans turn away from their narrow national identifications in favor of transnational and international attachments. This paper explores the intersection of high immigration rates into a culture under pressure to allow and even encourage new immigrants, as well as Americans more generally, to downplay their attachments to the American national community in favor of attachments abroad. What are the limits of encouraging new immigrants to remain attached to their \"\"home\"\" countries? What are the implications of these developments? Lastly, above all: What, if anything, can and should be done about it? This analysis addresses these questions and concludes with a set of political prescriptions to address them. Prologue Conduct a small experiment: Ask your friends and colleagues how many countries worldwide permit their citizens to also be citizens of one or more other countries. Frame your question by asking whether it might be a few, less than a dozen, several dozen, or even more."

"text": "\"Switzerland's Non-EU Immigrants: Their Integration and Swiss Attitudes June 9, 2009 Feature By Julie Schindall A Kurdish refugee family in Geneva. Foreigners from outside the European Union make up nearly 40 percent of Switzerland's foreign population. Over the past few decades, Switzerland — which brought over thousands of guest workers from southern Europe after World War II — has also become home to a large population from the Balkans, along with immigrants from Asia and Africa. Many originally came to Switzerland seeking protection, in contrast to Switzerland's other, more numerous foreign residents: present-day European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) citizens who came to work in Switzerland either as guest workers or under a bilateral agreement that since 2002 allows EU/EFTA citizens to live and work freely in the country (the European Union has 27 Member States while EFTA has four including Switzerland). In 2008, Switzerland had over 1.6 million foreign residents according to official government statistics, or 21.4 percent of the country's total population (foreign residents do not include naturalized immigrants but do include those born in Switzerland to foreign-national parents). An average of 40,000 foreigners has naturalized each year since 2002. Foreigners' sizeable share of the population sets Switzerland apart from other European countries, as does the makeup of this group. Of those 1.6 million foreign residents, 62.6 percent were from EU/EFTA countries, mainly Italy and Germany. Although the majority of Italian and Spanish citizens in Switzerland have lived in the country for 20 years or more or were born there, free movement has meant a more than 50 percent increase in the annual flow of EU-27 citizens to Switzerland between 2005 and 2007. In 2008 alone, 113,235 EU/EFTA citizens immigrated to Switzerland."

Numerous methods have been devised to facilitate this. Increasing the ease of access to absentee ballots is seen by many as one way to improve voter turnout, though some countries require that a valid reason, such as infirmity or travel, be given before a voter can participate in an absentee ballot.

The reasons for allocating voters to specific polling stations are generally logistical. Absentee voting at a different polling station might be catered for by, for example, designating some larger polling stations as available for absentee voting, and equipping such polling stations with the ballot papers (or the means to produce ballot papers) applicable to an absentee voter. In the electoral terminology of some countries, such as Australia, \"\"absentee voting\"\" means specifically a vote cast at a different polling station to one to which the voter has been allocated. \"\""

This is usually for an indefinite period; a person with such status is known as a permanent resident. Permanent residency itself is distinct from right of abode, which waives immigration control for such persons. Persons having permanent residency still require immigration control if they do not have right of abode. However, a right of abode automatically grants people permanent residency.

There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person. Citizenship status is defined exclusively by national laws, which can vary and can conflict. Multiple citizenship arises because different countries use different, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, criteria for citizenship. Colloquial speech refers to people \"\"holding\"\" multiple citizenship, but technically each nation makes a claim that a particular person is considered its national. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. This may be by requiring an applicant for naturalization to renounce all existing citizenship, or by withdrawing its citizenship from someone who voluntarily acquires another citizenship, or by other devices. Some countries do not permit a renunciation of citizenship. Some countries permit a general dual citizenship while others permit dual citizenship but only of a limited number of countries. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc."

The status of Australian nationality or Australian citizenship was created by the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 [1] (in 1973 renamed the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 ), which came into force on 26 January 1949. The 1948 Act was amended many times, notably in 1973, 1984, 1986 and 2002. It has been replaced by the Australian Citizenship Act 2007, [2] commencing on 1 July 2007. On 13 December 1973, Australia acceded to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and to the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Australian citizenship law is administered by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection which can issue certificates of citizenship on naturalisation or on request provide other proof or evidence of Australian citizenship. Australian passports are issued to Australian citizens by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. In Australia, the terms \"\"nationality\"\" and \"\"citizenship\"\" can be used interchangeably, but the term \"\"citizenship\"\" (or \"\"citizen\"\") is more commonly used, while \"\"nationality\"\" is most often used in official documents and forms. In general, a person may acquire citizenship automatically (\"\"by operation of law\"\") through birth in Australia or through Australian descent, or by application after a period of residence in Australia. The process of acquiring citizenship by application is referred to as \"\"naturalisation\"\"."

[ 3] Because Hong Kong and Macau maintain their independent border control policies, ordinary Chinese visas are valid for Mainland China only and are not valid for Hong Kong or Macau, so travelers must apply for separate visas for Hong Kong or Macau should they require one for traveling to these regions. The government of the People's Republic of China allows holders of normal passports issued by some countries to travel to Mainland China for tourism or business purposes for up to 15, 30 or 90 days without having to obtain a visa. Visitors of other nationalities, as well as residents of Hong Kong and Macau, are required to obtain either a visa or a permit prior to arrival, depending on their nationality. In order to increase the numbers of tourists visiting the country, some ports of entry of China allow nationals of certain countries to visit specified regions within 72 or 144 hours if they are in transit to a third country.

Normally those eligible to travel across borders (i.e. EEA nationals and those with valid schengen visas) should be able to do so but must expect a longer wait and bring all travel documents to prove eligibility (e.g. passport, Schengen visa) when transiting via land or sea until the situation abates. Europe is a continent that is small but has many independent states. Under normal circumstances, travelling through multiple states should mean having to go through visa applications, passport control multiple times. However, by entering through any of the member states of the Schengen zone, you will generally be able to access any of the other member states without going through passport control checkpoints again. Similarly, by having a Schengen visa, you do not need to apply for visas to each of the Schengen member states separately/individually hence saving time, money and paperwork. Countries of the Schengen Zone include Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Microstates Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are not part of the Schengen Area and have differing formal relationships with it, but they all have open borders with neighbouring Schengen countries and can be legally entered with a Schengen visa. Andorra has no formal agreement with the Schengen Area and maintains permanent border controls, but issues no own visas. Instead, Andorra also accepts a Schengen visa."

"text": "\"Social and Cultural Aspects of Drinking Rules and regulation\"\"Where alcohol is known, patterns for its use and for abstention are prescribed, usually in fine detail. There have been very few, if any, societies whose people knew the use of alcohol and yet paid little attention to it. Alcohol may be tabooed; it is not ignored.\"\" David G. Mandelbaum, Alcohol and Culture, 1965There is no such thing as random drinking. Drinking, in every culture, is a rule-governed activity, hedged about with prescriptions and norms concerning who may drink how much of what, when, where, with whom, in what manner and with what effects. This is to be expected. One of the distinguishing characteristics of homo sapiens is our passion for regulation - our tendency to surround even the most basic, necessary activities such as eating and mating with elaborate rules and rituals, and to attach immense social significance to every aspect of the process. The nature of these rules may vary dramatically from one culture to another, but rule-making itself is in our nature. Even more than with sex and food, however, the specific unwritten rules and norms governing the use of alcohol in individual cultures invariably reflect the characteristic values, beliefs and attitudes of those cultures. Heath (1991) points out that:\"\" … just as drinking and its effects are imbedded in other aspects of culture, so are many other aspects of culture imbedded in the act of drinking. \"\""

"text": "Egalitarianism First published Fri Aug 16, 2002; substantive revision Wed Apr 24, 2013Egalitarianism is a trend of thought in political philosophy. An egalitarian favors equality of some sort: People should get the same, or be treated the same, or be treated as equals, in some respect. An alternative view expands on this last-mentioned option: People should be treated as equals, should treat one another as equals, should relate as equals, or enjoy an equality of social status of some sort. Egalitarian doctrines tend to rest on a background idea that all human persons are equal in fundamental worth or moral status. So far as the Western European and Anglo-American philosophical tradition is concerned, one significant source of this thought is the Christian notion that God loves all human souls equally. Egalitarianism is a protean doctrine, because there are several different types of equality, or ways in which people might be treated the same, or might relate as equals, that might be thought desirable. In modern democratic societies, the term “egalitarian” is often used to refer to a position that favors, for any of a wide array of reasons, a greater degree of equality of income and wealth across persons than currently exists.1.

"text": "Multiculturalism Cultural diversity has been present in societies for a very long time. In Ancient Greece, there were various small regions with different costumes, traditions, dialects and identities, for example, those from Aetolia, Locris, Doris and Epirus. In the Ottoman Empire, Muslims were the majority, but there were also Christians, Jews, pagan Arabs, and other religious groups. In the 21 st century, societies remain culturally diverse, with most countries having a mixture of individuals from different races, linguistic backgrounds, religious affiliations, and so forth. Contemporary political theorists have labeled this phenomenon of the coexistence of different cultures in the same geographical space multiculturalism. That is, one of the meanings of multiculturalism is the coexistence of different cultures. The term ‘multiculturalism’, however, has not been used only to describe a culturally diverse society, but also to refer to a kind of policy that aims at protecting cultural diversity. Although multiculturalism is a phenomenon with a long history and there have been countries historically that did adopt multicultural policies, like the Ottoman Empire, the systematic study of multiculturalism in philosophy has only flourished in the late twentieth century, when it began to receive special attention, especially from liberal philosophers. The philosophers who initially dedicated more time to the topic were mainly Canadian, but in the 21 st century it is a widespread topic in contemporary political philosophy. Before multiculturalism became a topic in political philosophy, most literature in this area focused on topics related to the fair redistribution of resources; conversely, the topic of multiculturalism in the realm of political philosophy highlights the idea that cultural identities are also normatively relevant and that policies ought to take these identities into consideration."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Social Sciences Sociology of Deviance and Crime The Study of Cultural Norms and What Happens When They Are Broken Share Flipboard Email Print Daniel Allan/Getty Imagesby Ashley Crossman Updated March 06, 2017Sociologists who study deviance and crime examine cultural norms, how they change over time, how they are enforced, and what happens to individuals and societies when norms are broken. Deviance and social norms vary among societies, communities, and times, and often sociologists are interested in why these differences exist and how these differences impact the individuals and groups in those areas. Overview Sociologists define deviance as behavior that is recognized as violating expected rules and norms. It is simply more than nonconformity, however; it is behavior that departs significantly from social expectations. In the sociological perspective on deviance, there is subtlety that distinguishes it from our commonsense understanding of the same behavior. Sociologists stress social context, not just individual behavior. That is, deviance is looked at in terms of group processes, definitions, and judgments, and not just as unusual individual acts. Sociologists also recognize that not all behaviors are judged similarly by all groups. What is deviant to one group may not be considered deviant to another. Further, sociologists recognize that established rules and norms are socially created, not just morally decided or individually imposed."

"text": "Culture and Biology Culture relates to nature (our biology and genetics) and nurture (our environment and surroundings that also shape our identities). Learning Objectives Examine the ways culture and biology interact to form societies, norms, rituals and other representations of culture Key Takeaways Key Points“Culture” encompasses objects and symbols, the meaning given to those objects and symbols, and the norms, values, and beliefs that pervade social life. Values reflect an individual’s or society ‘s sense of right and wrong or what “ought” to be. Humans also have biological drives—hunger, thirst, need for sleep—whose unfulfillment can result in death. Because of our biology and genetics, we have a particular form and we have certain abilities. These set essential limits on the variety of activities that humans can express culture, but there is still enormous diversity in this expression. Culture refers to the way we understand ourselves as individuals and as members of society, including stories, religion, media, rituals, and even language itself. Social Darwinism was the belief that the closer a cultural group was to the normative Western European standards of behavior and appearance, the more evolved they were. Culture is the non-biological or social aspects of human life. Culture refers to the way we understand ourselves as individuals and as members of society, including stories, religion, media, rituals, and even language itself."

Formal and informal social controls attempt to prevent or minimize deviance. One such control is through the medicalization of deviance. Acting upon certain discriminatory facts or problems. It is not the act itself, but the reactions to the act, that make something deviant. Crime, the violation of formally enacted law, is formal deviance while an informal social violation such as picking one's nose is an example of informal deviance. It also means not doing what the majority does or alternatively doing what the majority does not do. For instance, behaviors caused by cultural difference can be seen as deviance.

"text": "\"Westside Toastmasters is located in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California Chapter 6The Rule of Social Validation -- The Art of Social Pressure Overview The greatest difficulty is that men do not think enough of themselves, do not consider what it is that they are sacrificing when they follow a herd.—RALPH WALDO EMERSONWe are social animals. We all have an innate desire to belong to a social group. It is precisely because we value this sense of belonging so highly that the more other people find an idea, trend, or position appealing or correct, the more correct that idea becomes in our own minds. The Rule of Social Validation recognizes and builds on our innate desire to be part of the main group. It also recognizes that we tend to change our perceptions, opinions, and behaviors in ways that are consistent with group norms. [ 1] Even if we don't admit it, or maybe even realize it, we care about what others think. As such, we use others' behavior as a guide in establishing the standard for the choices and decisions we make. We seek to find out what others are doing as a way of validating our own actions. This method is how we decide what constitutes \"\"correct\"\" behavior. We see the behavior as more correct when we see others doing it."

"text": "\"Introduction Early on in law school, law students begin to realize that legal norms are not all cut from the same cloth. Some rules provide \"\"bright lines,\"\" others \"\"fuzzy lines,\"\" and yet others, no lines at all. The \"\"reasonable person\"\" test in tort law constrains in a very different way than does the rule against perpetuities in property. That is, legal norms differ in extent to which they constrain those who are charged with applying them. We can slice and dice legal norms in various ways. In this post, we will investigate the idea that legal norms can be sorted into five general classes: rules, standards, principles, catalogs, and discretion. Let's stipulate to the following definitions to get the discussion off the ground: Rules are the most constraining and rigid. Once a rule has been interpreted and the facts have been found, then the application of the rule to the facts decides the issue to which it is relevant (unless the case falls within the penumbra of a rule with vague content). Standards provide an intermediate level of constraint. Standards guide decisions but provide a greater range of choice or discretion; standards define a set of mandatory considerations."

"text": "Inquire vs Enquire By Ali Hale One of our readers, Susabelle wrote to ask: Can you take on explaining the difference between “inquire” and “enquire?”These are two spellings of the same word, which means to seek information about something or to conduct a formal investigation (usually when followed by “into”). The corresponding noun is enquiry or inquiry. Either spelling can be used, but many people prefer enquire and enquiry for the general sense of “ask”, and inquire and inquiry for a formal investigation: I enquired his name The first enquiry in my inbox today was about lost property. We are going to inquire into the incident. The lawyers asked when the inquiry will be completed. In practice, enquire and enquiry are more common in British English, and inquire and inquiry are more common in US English, for both informal questions and formal investigations. However, the Guardian (a British newspaper) tells writers to “use inquiry ” and the Oxford English Dictionary seems to recognise inquire as the more dominant form, deeming enquiry:”An alternative form of INQUIRE. The mod. Dicts. give inquire as the standard form, but enquire is still very frequently used, esp."

"text": "Norms<< Prev Section Page 1of 2Next Page >Every society has expectations about how its members should and should not behave. A norm is a guideline or an expectation for behavior. Each society makes up its own rules for behavior and decides when those rules have been violated and what to do about it. Norms change constantly. How Norms Differ Norms differ widely among societies, and they can even differ from group to group within the same society. Different settings: Wherever we go, expectations are placed on our behavior. Even within the same society, these norms change from setting to setting. Example: The way we are expected to behave in church differs from the way we are expected to behave at a party, which also differs from the way we should behave in a classroom. Different countries: Norms are place-specific, and what is considered appropriate in one country may be considered highly inappropriate in another. Example: In some African countries, it’s acceptable for people in movie theaters to yell frequently and make loud comments about the film."

"text": "\"Gender policing is the imposition or enforcement of normative gender expressions on an individual who is perceived as not adequately performing, through appearance or behavior, the sex that was assigned to them at birth (see gender performativity ). Gender policing serves to devalue or delegitimize expressions that deviate from normative conceptions of gender, thus reinforcing the gender binary. According to Judith Butler, rejection of individuals who are non-normatively gendered is a component of creating one's own gender identity. [ 1] Gender mainstreaming is a public policy concept, whereas gender policing is a more general social phenomenon. It is common for normative gender performances of gender to be encouraged and rewarded, while non-normative performances are discouraged through punishment or generally negative reactions. Policing of non-normative performances ranges in intensity from relatively minor discouraging comments to brutal acts of violence. Tactics of gender policing also vary widely, depending in part on the perceived gender of the individual target.

"text": "Durkheim, Émile WORKS BY DURKHEIMWORKS ABOUT DURKHEIMÉmile Durkheim (1858–1917) may be called one of the two principal founders of the modern phase of sociological theory, the other being his somewhat younger contemporary Max Weber. In his four major works, starting with The Division of Labor in Society of 1893 and ending with The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life of 1912, and in a large number of articles, monographs, and carefully worked out courses of lectures (several of which have been published posthumously), Durkheim established a broad framework for the analysis of social systems that has remained central to sociology and a number of related disciplines, particularly anthropology, ever since. Even those who basically disagree with it take it as a major point of reference. This frame of analysis underwent substantial development in the course of Durkheim’s own career, but it focused continually on the nature of the social system and the relation of that system to the personality of the individual. Durkheim was born in the town of Épinal in the Vosges, not far from Strasbourg. He was of Jewish parentage, and some of his forebears were rabbis. Indeed he was expected to be a rabbi himself until he became an agnostic. He attended the famous École Norm ale Supérieure in Paris, together with such luminaries as Henri Bergson, Jean Jaurès, and Pierre Janet. His primary focus was on philosophy, but he already had the strong concern with political and social applications that he retained throughout his life. He was too rebellious to rank high among the agrégés of his year, and his first academic appointments were as teacher of philosophy in several provincial lycées."

"text": "\"Understanding Islamic Law Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani Islamic civilization, since the time of Prophet Muhammad (s) until now, is firmly founded on the concept of ‘rule of law.’ For that reason, the law is published and known, and citizens and courts are expected to uphold it. In addition, Muslim citizens must adhere to Islamic law - Shariah. If a Muslim citizen commits a religious violation, he is judged according to Islamic law. A non-Muslim citizen is judged in religious issues by the laws of his own faith. Invoking Divine Principles and Human Reason Islam is a complete package – a complete message and way of life. To fraction it into its component, then examine them individually, will yield little or no understanding of Islam’s holistic whole. Inevitably aspects of Islam examined separately, without a wide-ranging grasp of its totality, will be taken in a fragmented context, in which case aspects may take on the appearance of extremism. However, when viewed from a comprehensive perspective by any fair person, Islam will be found sensible in all its aspects and practices. Could it be otherwise for a faith that powers one of the greatest living civilizations – one whose dynamism and creativity supplied a foundation for countless aspects of modern society?"

"text": "\"Difference Between Rules and Regulations Posted on February 10, 2011 by Nedha Last updated on: June 10, 2015Rules vs Regulations Although Rules and Regulations are two words that are often confused since they appear to mean the same, there is, in fact, some difference between them in terms of their usage and connotations. First let us define the two words. Rules refer to an established and authoritative standard of principle; a general norm mandating or guiding conduct or action in a given type of situation. On the other hand, Regulations refer to sets of rules that have legal connotations. This is the main difference between the two words. This article attempts to clarify the difference between rules and regulations in depth. What are Rules? A rule is traditionally defined as “ Generally an established and authoritative standard of principle; a general norm mandating or guiding conduct or action in a given type of situation ”. Rules are used to restrict certain procedures. By ‘traffic rules,’ you tend to understand that you should follow certain restrictions when it comes to moving in traffic."

"text": "\"�1. ETHICS AS A PHILOSOPHICAL DISCIPLINEA characteristic human behavior is to value other entities, persons, animals, actions, experiences, and even ideas. Through this behavior arise personal values, familial values, cultural values, intellectual values, religious values, aesthetic values, architectural values, gastronomic values-the list is endless. Human existence is value-laden. Ethics studies moral and ethical values. [ 1] To be more precise, it explores their origins (where do moral values arise), their nature (what is a moral value), their justification (is it possible to determine that some moral values are better or worse than other moral values) and their application (what ought one to do). What distinguishes ethics and other disciplines, such as religion or the social sciences, that might also examine morals or moral codes is that, as a philosophical discipline, ethics relies upon the same analytic procedures as other philosophical disciplines. Where religion relies upon scriptural authorities and the social sciences upon description and observation, ethics questions, probes, argues, analyzes and evaluates. As with most philosophical issues and problems, however, there are no universal solutions (i.e., solutions that have universal acceptance) to the questions that moral and ethical issues pose, thus ethics and ethical analysis encompasses numerous ideas, strategies and theories. As a philosophical discipline, ethics is divisible into theoretical and practical ethics."

December 1, 2015The ideas and opinions expressed in this essay are the author’s own and do not necessarily represent those of the NIH, NIEHS, or US government. W hen most people think of ethics (or morals), they think of rules for distinguishing between right and wrong, such as the Golden Rule (\"\"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you\"\"), a code of professional conduct like the Hippocratic Oath (\"\"First of all, do no harm\"\"), a religious creed like the Ten Commandments (\"\"Thou Shalt not kill...\"\"), or a wise aphorisms like the sayings of Confucius. This is the most common way of defining \"\"ethics\"\": norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Most people learn ethical norms at home, at school, in church, or in other social settings. Although most people acquire their sense of right and wrong during childhood, moral development occurs throughout life and human beings pass through different stages of growth as they mature. Ethical norms are so ubiquitous that one might be tempted to regard them as simple commonsense. On the other hand, if morality were nothing more than commonsense, then why are there so many ethical disputes and issues in our society? One plausible explanation of these disagreements is that all people recognize some common ethical norms but interpret, apply, and balance them in different ways in light of their own values and life experiences. For example, two people could agree that murder is wrong but disagree about the morality of abortion because they have different understandings of what it means to be a human being."

These are often used as a recommendation instead of a strict regulation. In general, there are two basic rink styles.

Sources History of Metal Coins in USAThe United States dollar (USD/US$) is also referred to as American dollar or the U. S. dollar. It is the official currency of the United States of America and its overseas territories. One American dollar is divided into 100 smaller units called cents. Here is a brief look into the history of currency in the U. S.: In 1781, Congress chartered the Bank of North America in Philadelphia as the first national bank. It was to support the financial operations of the fledgling government. In 1785, Congress adopted the dollar as the monetary unit of the United States. In 1792, the Coinage Act of 1792 created the U. S. Mint and established a federal monetary system with set denominations for coins, and specified the value of each coin in gold, silver, or copper. In 1861, the federal government circulated the first paper money."

Mexico offers a whole range of telephone services from simple land-line telephone services to high-speed internet services as well as the latest 3rd Generation (“3G”), 4th Generation (“4G”) and LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile technologies. Landline Telephones in Mexico Cell Phones (Mobile Phones) Phones in Mexico Whats App, Face Time, i Message, etc. in Mexico How To Dial Phones & Cell Phones in Mexico Internet and Email Access in Mexico Mexican Postal System Sending and Receiving Faxes Landline Telephones in Mexico Mexico’s telephone network is one of the most well-developed in Latin America. Penetration of land-lines never reached those of the US or western Europe, and are now never likely to as the introduction of mass-market mobile telephones in the mid 1990’s meant that people turned to wireless connections and demand for land-lines declined, especially in more remote areas. One of the biggest pricing shake-ups in the history of Mexican telecommunications took effect at midnight on January 1, 2015 with the introduction of new legislation which seeks to reform the communications marketplace and make prices more competitive. The law introduced two key changes to telephony pricing in Mexico: All calls are charged as local calls: By legal decree, the pricing regime for ‘long distance’ calls, previously known as LADA, an acronym for Larga Distancia, from land lines was disbanded effectively making all calls from land lines priced as local calls. No long-distance cell phone charges: A previous law passed in 2014 had made it illegal for cell phone companies to charge for incoming calls when your cell phone is roaming out of its area code. The 2015 law change disbanded the price distinction between calls to local cell phones and out of area cell phones from land lines—so as of now, dialing an out-of-area cell phone from a land line (using the prefix 045) is now charged as a local call. In practice, the law changes have caused telecom companies to include all calls from land lines to local, national and cell phone numbers within the price of their packages, which also come with a high-speed internet connection as standard."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search La Venta Monument 1Monument 4 from La Venta with comparative size of an adult and child. The monument weighs almost 20 tons. The Olmec colossal heads are stone representations of human heads sculpted from large basalt boulders. The heads date from at least 900 BC and are a distinctive feature of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica. [ 1] All portray mature individuals with fleshy cheeks, flat noses, and slightly crossed eyes; their physical characteristics correspond to a type that is still common among the inhabitants of Tabasco and Veracruz. The backs of the monuments often are flat. The boulders were brought from the Sierra de los Tuxtlas mountains of Veracruz. Given that the extremely large slabs of stone used in their production were transported over large distances, requiring a great deal of human effort and resources, it is thought that the monuments represent portraits of powerful individual Olmec rulers. Each of the known examples has a distinctive headdress. The heads were variously arranged in lines or groups at major Olmec centres, but the method and logistics used to transport the stone to these sites remain unclear."

"text": "Fracking: How much gas and what about the water Updated Thursday 26th September 2013Just how much gas is available by the process of fracking, and what volume of water is required? In the 1950s a man called Hubbert made a prediction of the life of gas (and other fossil fuels), assuming that the consumption would remain the same—which we now know of course is not the case. ( a) Hubbert's original 1956 prediction for US oil production; (b) what actually happened This predicted that there was a ‘lifetime’ for gas of 50-60 years. However, this also relied on known reserves and known drilling techniques. These gas reserves are distributed as the diagram below shows. This results in the rest of the world exporting from and thus giving power to Russia, Qatar and Iran, as shown as trillion of cubic meters (tcm) of gas. To give you an idea of how much gas this is, the UK consumes 0.1% of this, of the order of 100 billion cubic metre (bcm) gas per year. Fracking blows this out of the water. How much extra gas can we get with fracking? The USA estimates 25 tcm, compared to the 12 tcm which was forecast using conventional gas drilling."

A US Air Force pilot named James Gaussman reportedly saw a white-topped pyramid during a flight between China and India in 1945. Walter Hain, an author and science writer, reports in his homepages (see his article below) how Gaussman described his first sighting of the pyramid. “ I banked to avoid a mountain and we came out over a level valley. Directly below was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. It was encased in shimmering white. This could have been metal, or some sort of stone. It was pure white on all sides. The remarkable thing was the capstone, a huge piece of jewel-like material that could have been crystal."

The maker's flagship car, it is unique in its class for offering all wheel drive as a standard feature, and Subaru's traditional boxer engine. The Legacy bears the name Liberty in Australia out of deference to Legacy Australia, an organisation dedicated to caring for the families of military service veterans. In 1996, a variant of the Legacy with heightened suspension called the Legacy Outback was introduced to compete in the burgeoning sport-utility vehicle class and proved to be a sales success for Subaru. The Outback line was split into its own model in 2000, known as the Subaru Outback. As of 2008, 3.6 million Legacies have been built since its 1989 introduction.

While regular grooming and feeding high quality dog food can go a long way to prevent skin problems and hair loss issues, there's no guarantee that your elkie won't experience these conditions sometime during his life. Hypothyroidism Inadequate levels of circulating thyroid hormone results in hypothyroidism, a condition often afflicting elkies. Because the thyroid gland helps regulate your dog's metabolism, symptoms run the gamut. However, hair loss and skin problems are among the less subtle signs. Your dog's skin might become dry and scaly, while his coat could look like moths lunched on it. To make a diagnosis, your vet likely will perform a blood test to check thyroid levels. Medication can restore proper thyroid functioning and healthy hair and skin. Keratoacanthoma Intracutaneous cornifying epitheliomas, also known as keratoacanthomas, are benign growths commonly found in elkhounds."

"text": "American English Coonhound The American English Coonhound is a breed of dog that can be compared to a well-conditioned athlete. Its head is broad with a very slightly domed skull. Its ears hang rather low, reaching nearly at the end of the nose when drawn out and an expression that can be best described as kind and houndy. The coat is a medium length, hard, protective hair with a deep chest, strong back and broad loin without any exaggerated parts. It moves effortlessly with its head carried up and alert, a true picture of great endurance, strength and vigor. Australian Shepherd The Australian Shepherd was so named as it made its way to the US through Australia, though it is originally from a breed of European dogs that served as companion to Basque shepherds exporting Merino sheep. It is believed that this breed was crossbred with the Collie, thus beginning the development of the Australian shepherd. This breed is quick, agile, muscular, and thus capable of carrying out a full day’s work, even if it means keeping up with boisterous sheep. It has a weatherproof double coat, with a straight or wavy outer coat of moderate length. Azawakh A sighthound, the Azawakh is known to be an elegant-looking dog, long, lean, and rangy, giving the impression of great ability and nobility."

Beyond this, however, generalizations about hounds are hard to come by, since the Group encompasses quite a diverse lot. There are Pharaoh Hounds, Norwegian Elkhounds, Afghans and Beagles, among others. Some hounds share the distinct ability to produce a unique sound known as baying.

"text": "A 2004 study into canine genetics conducted at the Fred Hutchinson Institute for Cancer Research in Seattle found that the oldest relatives of wolves, specifically gray wolves, the common ancestor of all domesticated dogs, aren't necessarily those who most closely resemble them. In fact, the wolf's oldest descendants are often the breeds who today look the most physically distinct from the wolf. A wolf running over ground covered in snow.credit: Tom Brakefield/Stockbyte/Getty Images Ancient Asian breeds Pekingese dog on a carpet.credit: mochanchan/i Stock/Getty Images Ancient Asian toy breeds, such as the Pekingese and the Shih Tzu, both originating in China during the Tang Dynasty look nothing like a wolf, but are indeed among the wolf's earliest genetic relatives. Such ancient Asian breeds, also including the Shar-Pei are considered to be the oldest of the modern canine's lupine ancestors and as such, they have had the most time to physically diverge and evolve into the dogs we know and love today, explaining their distinct physical characteristics and small size. Nomadic Hunters The profile of a chow chow.credit: Neonci/i Stock/Getty Images Slightly more modern breeds, such as the Japanese Akita, chow chow, basenji, Lhasa apso, shiba inu, Siberian husky and Samoyed accompanied early nomadic hunters in their travels, migrating as far as North Africa and northern Europe from Asia. This lifestyle explains their geographical spread and subsequent evolution. Those who migrated to other parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, such as the basenji, chow chow and Lhasa apso, evolved physical features, such as short coats and flatter faces, to enable them to better survive in their new environments. The Japanese Akita is perhaps the closest in appearance to the wolf of these Asian-originated breeds. Heading North A Siberian husky lying in a wooded area.credit: Voltgroup/i Stock/Getty Images The breeds that traveled north from Asia toward the Arctic, such as the Siberian husky, Alaskan malamute and Samoyed, are the closest and truest physical examples of the relationship between dog and wolf.

Elkhounds love to be outdoors, and look like they are having the time of their lives when they do anything that involves running. They are sensitive animals, in tune with how their owners are feeling and instinctively know when to clown around for a laugh, or when to stay quiet and lay their head in the lap of a friend who needs some comforting. Elkhounds are outgoing and greet everyone as if they are an old friend, but instinctively know the difference between a welcome guest and an intruder and can be trusted as a reliable watchdog. Elkhounds are good with kids and make an excellent choice for active, experienced dog owners. Activity Requirements Norwegian Elkhounds are bundles of energy and need a lot of vigorous activity in order to maintain health and an even temperament. Several walks a day are great, but that is just a start for this breed. They need time to run every single day, and should be exercised for one to two hours. If your Elkhound is not getting enough physical activity, he will become hyperactive and resort to destructive chewing when left alone. Norwegian Elkhounds are best suited for those who already have an active lifestyle."

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

Elkhounds will grow at a fairly good rate, easily reaching close to mature size in 12 months, however they will continue to grow and fill out for another full year or so. Takoda appears here, sitting by the door and the boots in late December 2007 - he is about 8 weeks old in this photo. It's nice to see a comparison with something similar in the background, so we keep the boots the same, and the same location, and rug to give you a visual before and after, in as close to the same position as possible. Takoda doesn't stay still for long so taking the photo now is considerably harder today, than when this photo of the little guy was taken. Elkhounds are almost constantly moving, it's not often that we can get them to sit for a photo and actually stay there to get a good shot, they are moving their head, looking at something, getting up to see what's with the camera, it's hard to get a nice clean photo with them in the same area, so as to compare. Takoda appears here, sitting by the door and the boots in late November 2008, not quite a year later, and yes, we have moved the boots between shots, if I didn't put that info in I might have a broom mark on the backside from Marlene. This gives you a pretty good idea of the growth pattern for a pup that you might get, Takoda here is about 58 lbs, he has more to grow and more weight to put on, however it definitely outlines what you can expect. He was barely as long as a boot laying down in the first picture in December 2007, now his foreleg is that long. None of the pups will likely get to the same height or length of Takoda, they will be in between the height and length of Mia and Tadoka, closer to the 49 - 50 lbs, and 20 - 22 inches."

"text": "\"Lifespan: the long and the short of it A comment on a Bulldog blog caught my attention this evening. It claims that the Kennel Club has \"\"updated\"\" the average lifespan on its Bulldog breed info page from six to 10. I was surprised because the 2004 KC health survey found that the median age of death in Bulldogs (based on a good-sized sample of 180 dogs that had died) was 6 yrs and 3 months - not great. As far as I'm aware, there has been no decent survey done since that supercedes this figure, so I hot-footed it over to the KC website to see what it says. As you can, it lists Bulldog lifespan as \"\"Under 10 years\"\". Now this is true - but not terribly helpful for anyone seeking accurate information. In fact, the KC breed info pages gloss over the longevity issue by listing all breeds' lifespans as either \"\"under 10 years\"\" or \"\"over 10 years\"\". I guess the truth - that some breeds die, on average, a lot younger than 10 - is just too unpalatable, but it is doing puppy buyers a disservice. After all, the KC health survey found that the median age of death for the Neapolitan Mastiff is 2.33 years. It would be a bit of a shock, wouldn't it, to lose a dog at that age if you hadn't been pre-warned?"

Many of these dogs could find homes if those who moved to apartments could take their pets along and those who live in apartments were allowed to keep a dog. The euthanasia of healthy dogs could be affected at both ends: dogs who might lose their homes because their owners are moving to an apartment could remain with their owners instead of going to the shelter or rescue group, and dogs already at the shelter or with a rescue group could get new homes in apartments.

Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images T he chow chow originated as early as the 11th century. It is one of the most ancient dog breeds. Since the breed dates back so far, the early history of chows is somewhat murky. From its earliest days, these dogs have been known for their distinct blue tongue and heavy, thick coat which makes the breed identifiable in historical references. The First Chows Most reports indicate that chows originated in China, although some believe that the breed's roots lie in the Arctic Circle and came to China by way of Mongolia, Siberia and Tibet. Descriptions of lion-like dogs with blue tongues have been found in art and sculpture as early as 150 B. C. where they are depicted as hunting dogs. Hunting and Guarding Early chows served many purposes. They accompanied their owners to hunt game. Chow chows were prized for their strength, speed, pointing and scenting prowess in the field."

"text": "\"How Many Breeds of Dogs Are There in the World? A count and a list of dog breeds arranged by their national origin. Posted May 23, 2013SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: SC Psychological Enterprises Ltd This is a difficult question to answer since many varieties of dogs that might be classifiable as separate breeds are not recognized by the various international kennel clubs and breed registration groups. However we can at least give a general count, knowing that it will most certainly be an underestimation. The World Canine Organization is best known by its French title Fédération Cynologique Internationale which is abbreviated FCI. It is the largest registry of dog breeds that is internationally accepted. At the time of this writing the FCI recognizes 339 breeds of dogs which are divided into 10 groups based upon the dog’s purpose or function or upon its appearance or size. The 10 groups are: Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs other than Swiss Cattle Dogs (this group includes most of the dogs found classified as \"\"herding dogs\"\" by other kennel clubs). Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs and Other Breeds (the Molossian breeds include the dogs known as the mastiffs by most other kennel clubs)Terriers Dachshunds Spitz and Primitive Types Scenthounds and Related Breeds Pointers and Setters Retrievers - Flushing Dogs - Water Dogs Companion and Toy Dogs Sighthounds Each group is divided into subgroups of dog breeds and each has been assigned a country or region of origin. While the country listed may not be the very first place where the dog breed appeared, it is usually the first nation to have recognized and registered the breed and currently is the home of the breed organization that determines the standard of these breeds (which is the description of the ideal qualities of a dog of that particular breed)."

Unfortunately, the work is currently out of print. The Harts interviewed 48 veterinarians and 48 obedience judges and asked each of them to rank-order 56 of the most popular dog breeds along 13 characteristics. Then, they compiled the results to make it possible to compare each of the 56 breeds, one to another, in some important ways. Fortunately, watchdog barking was one of the variables about which the Harts polled the experts. The term \"\"watchdog barking\"\" refers to the dog's tendency to bark at the things that you want a watchdog to bark at, like intruders and vandals. So we need to draw a distinction here between watchdog barking, which is a good thing up to a point, and inappropriate or excessive barking, which is definitely an undesirable trait. It should be noted that, for all breeds, males and females make equally good watchdogs.

"text": "Breeding Genetics A Beginner’s Guide to Coat Colors with Special Attention to the GSDBy Fred Lanting This article is not a detailed, complicated study of coat color genetics. I have written other pieces to answer that need. Here, I would like to aim this toward the beginner, though it should be a good review for the veteran breeder and valuable to people whose experience is only in one or two breeds. It has been said that there are only two colors in dogs, at least in their coats. This is as true as saying there are only three primary colors in pigments for inks, paints, etc., and that most others are blends of those three. Even truer, for eumelanin (dark or black pigment) and phaeomelanin (yellow pigment) are the only chemically differentiated forms of melanin, the coat’s color substance. The various shades of brown, tan, red, and cream depend on the concentration of phaeomelanin in the hair shafts, the shape of the crystals, and other factors. Certain genes called modifiers can act on the major ones to cause the black to look blue or chocolate. White is not technically a color, but the absence of pigment."

ASIP gene (Agouti signal peptide)This gene was mapped to dog chromosome 24. There are described 4 alleles having the subsequent hierarchy: ay >aw> at> a. The alleles ay, aw, at are jointly designated A-alleles (Agouti) and a-allele (non-agouti). The expression of the locus A is affected by the loci E and K. The locus A is not expressed in the presence of KB allele and the genotype e/e. These alleles are epistatic to the locus A alleles. If the expression of the locus A is enabled, then: Dogs with allele ay have a coat colour called fawn irrespective of any other allele, i.e. the allele ay is dominant over the other alleles of locus A. Dogs with the genotype aw/aw, aw/at or aw/a have wolf sable coat colour, the allele aw is dominant over the allele at and the allele a. Dogs with allele at/at or at/a have a tan colour. The saddle tan dogs are of at/at phenotype; the modifying gene (Dreger 2011) is obviously also responsible for the saddle tan coloration. Dogs of genotype a/a are black; the expression of the allele a is recessive. The wild type allele aw causes the change from production of eumelaning to phaeomelanin in a hair, so-called agouti colour (you can imagine the colour of grey wolf). The allele aw has been found in wolf (Berryere et al 2007) and coyote (Smutz et al 2007) and in some German shepherds (Berryere et al 2005)."

In contrast to warfarin, which lowers the functional levels of all of the vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, the new agents target either factor Xa or thrombin. With targeted inhibition of coagulation, the new oral anticoagulants have pharmacologic and clinical features that distinguish them from warfarin. Focusing on these features, this paper (a) compares the pharmacology of the new oral anticoagulants with that of warfarin (b) identifies the class effects of these drugs and their differentiating features, (c) reviews their current indications, and (d) uses this information to help clinicians make informed decisions regarding the choice of the right anticoagulant for the right patient. Previous Section Next Section Introduction Oral anticoagulants are widely used for long-term prevention or treatment of thrombosis. Until recently, the only available oral anticoagulants were the vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin. In the past few years, however, the landscape has changed with the introduction of new oral anticoagulants that specifically target either factor Xa or thrombin. 1 These new agents have several advantages over warfarin ( Table 1 ); food does not influence their metabolism, drug-drug interactions are uncommon and the agents produce such a predictable anticoagulant effect that they can be given in fixed doses without the need for routine coagulation laboratory monitoring. Consequently, the new anticoagulants are more convenient to administer than warfarin."

"text": "Full Answer While they are popular rat poisons, warfarin and other anticoagulant drugs are safe, effective medicines used to treat ischemic stroke, deep vein thrombosis and other human disorders caused by blood clots. Anticoagulant rat poisons are safer to use around children and pets than other varieties because antidotes for these poisons are readily available and effective. Zinc phosphide and related metal phosphide compounds are fast-acting rat poisons that produce toxic gas in the rat's digestive system. Zinc phosphide is used in bait traps while other metal phosphides are reserved for fumigation. While historically popular, zinc phosphide has been supplanted by the anticoagulants as the most common rat poison on the market. Vitamin D kills rats by disrupting the balance calcium in the body. Vitamin D and anticoagulants are synergistic, meaning that a mixture of the two is more toxic than either one alone. As a result, anticoagulants are often added to rat poisons that contain Vitamin D. Vitamin D is less toxic than older poisons such as strychnine or zinc phosphide to children and birds, but poses a danger to dogs and cats that consume poisoned rat bait.

"text": "\"Blood Clot Prevention You may not know it, but if you are over 50 the greatest threat to your continued existence is the formation of abnormal blood clots in your arteries and veins. The most common form of heart attack occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) blocks a coronary artery that feeds your heart muscle. The leading cause of stroke occurs when a blood clot occludes, or obstructs, an artery supplying blood to your brain. Formation of vascular blood clots is also a leading cause of death in cancer patients because cancer cells create conditions that favor clotting. While normal blood clots are a natural part of healing, abnormal arterial and venous blood clots are a significant cause of death and disability (Mannucci 2011). The good news is that health-conscious individuals already take a wide variety of nutrients through their diet and supplement program that drastically reduce their risk of developing thrombosis, which is the medical term for an abnormal vascular blood clot. Certain individuals, however, have underlying medical conditions that predispose them to developing thrombotic events. These include atherosclerosis, mechanical heart valves, atrial fibrillation, venostasis, blood clotting disorders, and cancer. These individuals must take special precautions to protect against thrombosis. Conventional medicine offers drugs proven to reduce thrombotic risk via specific mechanisms."

And making the right choice can be difficult, since nobody’s really taken the time to sit down and line it all up: how each drug compares to all of the other drugs. In fact, sometimes even doctors aren’t sure which one to prescribe. After all, there are now five different anticoagulants atrial fibrillation patients have to choose from to help prevent stroke. The old standby has always been warfarin (brand name Coumadin) having been around since 1954. There are now four newer anticoagulants to choose from called novel oral anticoagulants, or NOACs for short. They are: Brand name listed first followed by the generic, or drug name, in parenthesis.

"text": "Feature | Antiplatelet and Anticoagulation Therapies | July 26, 2016 | Heidi Olson, Pharm. DAdvantages and Disadvantages of Novel Oral Anticoagulants Looking at the pros and cons of new oral anticoagulants and whether there is a difference between the available agents With the recent introduction of several novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) on the U. S. market that have been billed by the drug makers as possible replacements for warfarin (Coumadin), there are several clinical considerations when comparing these agents. There was a lot of interest in the introduction of NOACs for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis. These novel agents include dabigatran (Pradaxa) approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2010, rivaroxaban (Xarelto) cleared in 2011, apixaban (Eliquis) cleared in 2012 and edoxaban (Savaysa) approved in 2015. Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor. Rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban are all factor Xa inhibitors. NOACs have major pharmacologic advantages over warfarin, which is a vitamin K antagonist, including rapid onset/offset of action, few drug interactions and predictable pharmacokinetics. Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window that can be affected by factors such as diet, so an issue for patients on warfarin is that they need to have their INR monitored regularly. This monitoring may take place at anticoagulation (Coumadin) clinics. Although NOACs do not require regular laboratory monitoring, some patients may be referred to anticoagulation clinics for agent selection/initiation, transition to or from warfarin, or peri-procedural management."

It is a blood-thinner or oral anti-coagulant that is manufactured by Bayer Health Care, the pharmaceutical division of Bayer AG, a Germany-based healthcare products manufacturer. It is marketed in the United States by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, the largest manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and medical products in the world. Xarelto is used to treat patients who have had blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to prevent them from reoccurring. It is also used to reduce the risk of blood clot formation and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation or rapid heartbeat that is not related to a heart valve problem and in patients who have had knee or hip replacement surgery. Xarelto is a competitor drug of Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) which is manufactured by another German drug maker, Boehringer-Ingelheim but Pradaxa works differently than Xarelto. Xarelto and Pradaxa were meant to replace older anticoagulants such as heparin and warfarin (Coumadin) without requiring laboratory testing of the drug’s clotting ability in a specific patient at a particular dose. The anti-coagulant market is currently thought to be worth over $10 billion per year and Xarelto generated sales of over $1.3 billion worldwide in 2013 and is expected to generate up to four times that amount in 2014. Only three years after its approval by the Food and Drug Administration, it is the #1 prescribed novel oral anticoagulant in the US. The US marketer of Xarelto, Johnson & Johnson, and its subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals has an estimated yearly revenue of $71 billion."

Newer, safer blood thinner drug options are easier for patients to use. More heart procedures called ablation are likely to control abnormal heart rhythm. Better care for patients with atrial fibrillation (afib) is the goal of treatment guidelines for doctors, based on research and clinical evidence. An estimated 2.7 million people in the United States have atrial fibrillation — an irregular heart rate that can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure — and could benefit from updates in their patient care. Working together, several leading heart groups agreed on patient treatment guidelines and published their recommendations in December 2014 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Atrial Fibrillation Care: Changes to Expect Four atrial fibrillation assessment and treatment changes patients can expect are: Improved blood-thinning drugs to prevent stroke-causing blood clots Less aspirin use More use of ablation, a procedure that burns or freezes a portion of the heart to restore normal heartbeat rhythm Better risk assessment using a new, more complex risk calculator Safer Blood-Thinning Drugs to Prevent Stroke Newer drug options prevent blood clots in patients with afib and are alternatives to the previous mainstay of treatment, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven).

"text": "Raj Kasthuri, MD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill According to the National Cancer Institute, there are approximately 11 million living Americans affected by cancer, and about 1.4 million who were newly diagnosed in 2008. Cancer is a risk factor for developing blood clots (or thrombosis), both in the arteries and veins. Venous thrombosis can occur in the deep veins of the extremities, referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT ), or in the lungs, referred to as pulmonary embolism (PE ). Taken together, DVT /PE are commonly referred to as venous thromboembolism or VTE . Approximately 20% of all VTE s occur in patients with cancer1. The risk for VTE in cancer is determined by a number of co-existing factors which may be broadly divided into general risk factors [age, race, obesity, past history of VTE , coexisting medical conditions, inherited and acquired thrombophilias] and cancer specific risk factors [cancer site, stage, type of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, surgery]. The goal of this article is to review the risk of VTE in cancer patients in different clinical settings, and to discuss strategies for prevention and treatment of VTE in cancer patients. These issues are discussed under commonly encountered clinical scenarios and I expect that most patients with cancer will fall under one or more of these scenarios. The Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) patient without history of cancer Should patients with newly diagnosed, unprovoked VTE be concerned about underlying cancer? Unprovoked VTE refers to the situation where VTE occurs in the absence of known risk factors, such as prolonged immobilization, surgery, trauma, and estrogen use. Thrombosis can be the first sign of cancer."

"text": "\"Bleeding Risks with Triple Antithrombotic Therapy Jan 16, 2013 | Sandeep Nathan, M. D., FACCExpert Analysis Share via: Print Font Size A A AAntithrombotic therapies, defined broadly as pharmacologic agents aimed at inhibiting components of either the coagulation or platelet aggregation cascades, have served for decades as therapeutic cornerstones in the management of many cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), atrial fibrillation (AF), venous thrombosis and thromboembolism (VTE), in the setting of prosthetic heart valves and following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However as the number of available oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents continues to grow, so too does the uncertainty regarding optimal combination therapy in the growing pool of patients with overlapping clinical indications necessitating multiple antithrombotic agents. The following summary highlights key clinical considerations related to the conjunctive use of oral anticoagulant therapy and oral dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), often referred to simply as \"\"triple therapy.\"\" 1-2While most anticoagulated patients in the United States are treated with warfarin, oral anticoagulation either with the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran or the direct factor Xa inhibitor, rivaroxaban is gaining popularity. Similarly, DAPT most often comprises aspirin plus the thienopyridine, clopidogrel bisulfate. Other approved oral antiplatelet agents also being used in combination with aspirin include the more potent thienopyridine, prasugrel and the cylcopentyl triazalopyrimidine platelet inhibitor, ticagrelor. As noted above, numerous clinical syndromes warrant long-term treatment with either oral anticoagulation or DAPT or both. One of the most common clinical scenarios requiring the use of triple anticoagulant therapy is the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing PCI or sustaining ACS/AMI. It has been estimated that 5-7% of patients undergoing PCI in the United States either have atrial fibrillation or another compelling indication for oral anticoagulation, thus amounting to approximately 50,000 patients requiring triple therapy annually for this cluster of indications, alone. 1-3,6-11 As it is beyond the scope of this article to address the numerous permutations of indication and choice of triple therapy, many of which have not been studied in any significant fashion, the focus shall remain on the attendant risks of warfarin plus aspirin/clopidogrel, especially as it relates to the aforementioned AF/PCI patient subset."

Secondary objectives related to assessing the cost-effectiveness of new oral anticoagulants stratified by center-specific time in therapeutic range, age, and CHADS2 score. Methods Cost-effectiveness was assessed by the incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Analysis used a Markov cohort model that followed patients from initiation of pharmacotherapy to death. Transition probabilities were obtained from a concurrent network meta-analysis. Utility values and costs were obtained from published data. Numerous deterministic sensitivity analyses and probabilistic analysis were conducted. Results The incremental cost per QALY gained for dabigatran 150 mg versus warfarin was $20,797. Apixaban produced equal QALYs at a higher cost. Dabigatran 110 mg and rivaroxaban were dominated by dabigatran 150 mg and apixaban."

Typical rat poison bait station (Germany, 2010)Rodenticides, colloquially rat poison, are typically non-specific pest control chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents. Some rodenticides are lethal after one exposure while others require more than one. Rodents are disinclined to gorge on an unknown food (perhaps reflecting an adaptation to their inability to vomit ), preferring to sample, wait and observe whether it makes them or other rats sick. [ 1] [2] This phenomenon of bait shyness or poison shyness is the rationale for poisons that kill only after multiple doses. Besides being directly toxic to the mammals that ingest them, including dogs, cats, and humans, many rodenticides present a secondary poisoning risk to animals that hunt or scavenge the dead corpses of rats.

Description Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important consideration. Treatment with anticoagulant medications is the most common approach to stroke prevention. Most embolic strokes originate from the left atrial appendage; therefore, occlusion of the left atrial appendage may offer a nonpharmacologic alternative to anticoagulant medications for the prevention of stroke in patients with AF. Multiple percutaneously deployed devices are being investigated for left atrial appendage closure. Background Stroke is the most serious complication of AF. The estimated incidence of stroke in nontreated patients with AF is 5% per year. Stroke associated with AF is primarily embolic in nature, tends to be more severe than the typical ischemic stroke, and causes higher rates of mortality and disability."

"text": "\"Return to ITM Online WARFARIN AND CHINESE MEDICINEby Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph. D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon AN UNUSUAL PATH OF DRUG DEVELOPMENTThe history of Warfarin can be traced to the story of dairy farming in the midwestern U. S. Dairy herds were introduced to the Midwest soon after the Civil War, around 1870, with a large concentration in Wisconsin, which eventually became known as \"\"the Dairy State.\"\" This farm industry grew rapidly once commercial milk pasteurizing machines were developed in 1895. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (founded 1848, the same year that Wisconsin became a state) also contributed greatly to the development of the dairy industry. For example, in 1890, an agricultural chemistry researcher, Dr. S. M. Babcock, developed a rapid testing method for determining the butter fat content of milk, allowing the milk to be sold according to the fat content to an industry where butter manufacture was becoming a major undertaking. More importantly, another professor at the University, Harry Steenbock, demonstrated in late 1923 that irradiation with ultraviolet light increased the vitamin D content of milk and certain other foods (it converts cholesterol derivatives into the vitamin). Although others had come upon this finding around the same time, Steenbock knew his observation held the potential to eliminate rickets, a crippling bone disease of children caused by vitamin D deficiency, if he could only make it practical. So, he worked on design of procedures and equipment to generate the vitamin and he convinced the University to form an organization to manage patents of this and other discoveries. His efforts led to the establishment of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) in 1925. Its first formal action was to license the use of Steenbock's irradiation process to fortify the vitamin D content of breakfast cereals (1927)."

PMCID: PMC4011376Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Patients Taking Novel Oral Anticoagulants James Aisenberg, MD *Author information ► Copyright and License information ►G&H How do the novel oral anticoagulants differ from the anticoagulants previously used? JA In the United States, warfarin was the primary anticoagulant used in the past. Although it is effective at lowering the risk of stroke and systemic blood clots, it is unpredictable in its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, is affected by dietary vitamin K, and suffers from numerous drug-drug interactions, thus requiring frequent monitoring, which is costly and a nuisance for patients. The novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs)— which currently include rivaroxaban (Xarelto, Janssen), apixaban (Eliquis, Bristol-Myers Squibb), and dabi-gatran etexilate (Pradaxa, Boehringer Ingelheim)—were designed to eliminate many of these problems. Warfarin works by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent modification of 4 proteins in the clotting cascade, whereas the NOACs act by inhibiting the action of individual proteins in this cascade. Thus, NOACs do not suffer from the numerous interactions associated with warfarin, which allows the novel agents to be administered without regular monitoring or worry about food interactions; in addition, only a few drugs interact with NOACs. Also, dosing is fairly fixed in these agents, so there is no need for individualized dosing, unlike with warfarin. On the other hand, NOACs are more expensive than warfarin, and warfarin does work very well for many people."

Severe protein C deficiency (i.e. protein C activity <1 IU d L−1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that usually presents in the neonatal period with purpura fulminans (PF) and severe disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), often with concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE). Recurrent thrombotic episodes (PF, DIC, or VTE) are common. Homozygotes and compound heterozygotes often possess a similar phenotype of severe protein C deficiency. Mild (i.e. simple heterozygous) protein C deficiency, by contrast, is often asymptomatic but may involve recurrent VTE episodes, most often triggered by clinical risk factors. The coagulopathy in protein C deficiency is caused by impaired inactivation of factors Va and VIIIa by activated protein C after the propagation phase of coagulation activation. Mutational analysis of symptomatic patients shows a wide range of genetic mutations. Management of acute thrombotic events in severe protein C deficiency typically requires replacement with protein C concentrate while maintaining therapeutic anticoagulation; protein C replacement is also used for prevention of these complications around surgery."

By Anne Asher, CPT | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated February 15, 2018Share Pin Email Printover When you're looking for some immediate back or neck pain relief, your doctor will likely suggest taking an over-the-counter pain medication. But there are several types, and the trick is knowing which to choose, and why. First let's talk about what is meant by “types” of over-the-counter pain medication. These are distinguished by the “active ingredient,” which is the chemical substance that makes the changes, for example, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, etc., that are stated on the drug package labels. ( Active ingredients can cause side effects, too, so this may also play a role in your decision to take one medication over another. ) As you’ll see, active ingredients can be grouped together into drug classes. As far as over-the-counter pain drugs go, the two main classes are NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) and analgesics (pain relievers.) Sometimes a drug will serve both purposes; other times it will not."

Complementary roles for COX-2 inhibitors and proton pump inhibitors C J Hawkey 1, M J S Langman 2Author affiliations Abstract Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are well recognised as causing peptic ulceration and ulcer complications. However, several critical issues, including the amount of both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disease affected by NSAIDs, their interaction with ancillary risk factors, and how to optimise management in subgroups, remain poorly understood. In this article, strategies for subgroups that take account of non-specific gastrointestinal risks, minimisation of residual risk, and the importance of non-gastrointestinal toxicity are suggested, and areas for research identified.http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/gut.52.4.600SUMMARYThe gastrointestinal consequences of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the best recognised iatrogenic problem in clinical medicine. Although considerable, these gastrointestinal problems are overestimated in many studies, partly because association and cause are not always distinguished. An attributable rate of hospitalisation greater than 1 per 100 patient years is unlikely, even in patients over 60 years of age. Conversely, non- gastrointestinal adverse events, including fluid retention and its consequences, have until recently been relatively neglected. Selective inhibitors of the inducible cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme are important new therapies which, by sparing COX-1, undoubtedly reduce the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by NSAIDs, and may abolish it, leading to extremely low event rates in patients without other risk factors. Recommendations to use COX-2 inhibitors in high risk patients unduly discounts this ability to minimise residual risk in low risk patients and may be misplaced if the potential of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prophylaxis to reduce non-specific as well as NSAID specific risk is shown to lead to lower overall event rates in such individuals. In this article, strategies for subgroups that take account of non-specific gastrointestinal risks, minimisation of residual risk, and the importance of non-gastrointestinal toxicity are suggested, and areas for research identified."

These medications reduce chemical signals that cause pain and inflammation in the body, specifically at the injured area. Drug stores provide a variety of anti-inflammatory medications that a patient can choose from. To make the best choice, he must understand the risks and benefits of taking each one. Naproxen Naproxen, or Aleve, is a common over-the-counter (OTC) medication that a patient can choose to treat her particular condition. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can reduce inflammation that a particular condition causes. In particular, naproxen, among other steroids, is recommended for chronic low back pain, states the Cochrane Review. Although effective in treating inflammatory conditions, naproxen may cause serious side effects. This medication can increase the risk of stomach bleeding or increase the risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems. These side effects typically occur in patients with existing problems or in those that chronically use naproxen."

On its own, COX enzyme synthesizes prostaglandins, creating inflammation. In whole, the NSAIDs prevent the prostaglandins from ever being synthesized, reducing or eliminating the pain. Some common examples of NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. The newer specific COX-inhibitors are not classified together with the traditional NSAIDs even though they presumably share the same mode of action. On the other hand, there are analgesics that are commonly associated with anti-inflammatory drugs but that have no anti-inflammatory effects. An example is paracetamol (known as acetaminophen or Tylenol in the U. S). As opposed to NSAIDs, which reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX enzymes, paracetamol has - as early as 2006 - been shown to block the reuptake of endocannabinoids, [1] [2] which only reduces pain, likely explaining why it has minimal effect on inflammation; paracetamol is sometimes combined with an NSAID (in place of an opioid) in clinical practice to enhance the pain relief of the NSAID while still receiving the injury/disease modulating effect of NSAID-induced inflammation reduction (which is not received from opioid/paracetamol combinations).

Based on our comprehensive review of new safety information, we are requiring updates to the drug labels of all prescription NSAIDs. As is the case with current prescription NSAID labels, the Drug Facts labels of over-the-counter (OTC) non-aspirin NSAIDs already contain information on heart attack and stroke risk. We will also request updates to the OTC non-aspirin NSAID Drug Facts labels. Patients taking NSAIDs should seek medical attention immediately if they experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or trouble breathing, weakness in one part or side of their body, or slurred speech. NSAIDs are widely used to treat pain and fever from many different long- and short-term medical conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches, colds, and the flu. NSAIDs are available by prescription and OTC. Examples of NSAIDs include ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and celecoxib (see Table 1 for a list of NSAIDs). The risk of heart attack and stroke with NSAIDs, either of which can lead to death, was first described in 2005 in the Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions sections of the prescription drug labels. Since then, we have reviewed a variety of new safety information on prescription and OTC NSAIDs, including observational studies, 1 a large combined analysis of clinical trials, 2 and other scientific publications."

Side effects depend on the specific drug, but largely include an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds, heart attack and kidney disease. [ 1] [2]The term nonsteroidal distinguishes these drugs from steroids, which while having a similar eicosanoid -depressing, anti-inflammatory action, have a broad range of other effects. First used in 1960, the term served to distance these medications from steroids. [ 3]NSAIDs work by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and/or COX-2). In cells, these enzymes are involved in the synthesis of key biological mediators, namely prostaglandins which are involved in inflammation, and thromboxanes which are involved in blood clotting. There are two types of NSAID available- non-selective and COX-2 selective. [ 4] Most NSAIDs are non-selective, and inhibit the activity of both COX-1 and COX-2. These NSAIDs, while reducing inflammation, also thin the blood (especially aspirin) and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers /bleeds. [ 4] COX-2 selective inhibitors have less gastrointestinal side effects, but promote thrombosis and substantially increase the risk of heart attack."

"text": "\"Nonselective NSAIDs: Adverse cardiovascular effects Author: Daniel H Solomon, MD, MPH Section Editors: Daniel E Furst, MD Christopher P Cannon, MD Deputy Editors: Paul L Romain, MD Gordon M Saperia, MD, FACCINTRODUCTIONThe use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with a range of potential adverse effects, including an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular effects. The risk of different events varies depending upon the clinical context, medication, and dose. Both nonselective NSAIDs and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 selective NSAIDs (coxibs) increase such risk. When thinking about cardiovascular risk for patients treated with NSAIDs, it is important to consider the duration and frequency of therapy. Unlike the gastrointestinal side effects, which can occur soon after initiation of therapy (see \"\"NSAIDs (including aspirin): Primary prevention of gastroduodenal toxicity\"\", section on 'Nonselective NSAIDs' ), the risk of adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death is extremely small over a short course of therapy, as might be used for patients with an acute but limited musculoskeletal injury. It should be kept in mind that in clinical practice most patients do not use their NSAIDs as regularly as in randomized trials; thus, the rates and relative risk of adverse cardiovascular events in observational studies, reflecting typical clinical care, are frequently lower than in clinical trials. The adverse cardiovascular effects of nonselective NSAIDs and the impact on clinical decision making will be reviewed here. The cardiovascular effects of coxibs and overviews of the adverse effects of NSAID therapy are presented separately. ( See \"\"COX-2 selective inhibitors: Adverse cardiovascular effects\"\" and \"\"Nonselective NSAIDs: Overview of adverse effects\"\" and \"\"Overview of selective COX-2 inhibitors\"\", section on 'Toxicities and possible toxicities' . ) For the purposes of this topic, nonselective NSAIDS include ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, oxaprozin, diclofenac, etodolac, tolmetin, sulindac, indomethacin, ketorolac, meloxicam, piroxicam, meclofenamate, mefenamic acid, and nabumetone ( table 1 )."

The use of aspirin in these patients has been associated with severe bronchospasm and fatal anaphylactoid reactions. Since cross-sensitivity has been noted between aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), therapy with any NSAID should be avoided in asthmatic patients with a history of aspirin or other NSAID sensitivity, and administered cautiously in all patients with preexisting asthma. Prior to initiating therapy with NSAIDs, patients should be questioned about previous allergic-type reactions to these agents. Salicylate salts, salsalate, salicylamide, and acetaminophen may be appropriate alternatives in patients with a history of NSAID-induced bronchospasm, since cross-sensitivity to these agents appears to be low. However, cross-sensitivity has been demonstrated occasionally with high dosages of these agents (e.g., acetaminophen >= 1000 mg), thus it may be appropriate to initiate therapy with low dosages and increase gradually. There is some evidence suggesting that COX-2 inhibitors may be safely used in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma, although the labeling for these products contraindicate such use. If necessary, aspirin desensitization may also be attempted in some patients under medical surveillance. References\"\"Product Information."

"text": "The effects of over-the-counter analgesics on orthodontic tooth movement Back to clinical articles USA By Kristina Sakas, USA June 21, 2013By far the most frequently asked question in every orthodontic office is, “When are my braces coming off?” In the fast-paced, busy lives of patients, there is little time to spend on lengthy orthodontic therapy. In the ever-advancing field of orthodontics, many barriers have been overcome, leading to healthier results and more beautiful smiles. Now, the focus is on reducing treatment time (Proffit, 2013). Faster care without sacrificing quality would be advantageous in (a) reducing hygiene problems, (b) increasing patient acceptance of treatment plans and (c) creating a higher level of overall treatment satisfaction. This new focus can be seen through the development of techniques such as the accelerated osteogenic orthodontics known as Wilckodontics, and the micropulse technology seen in Accele Dent (Kau, 2011). With the emphasis on shortening treatment time, it is critical that practitioners be aware of all medications that patients are taking that could unknowingly slow down their orthodontic treatment. This must be accomplished by thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history with close attention to medications, including over-the-counter analgesics. Various analgesics taken by patients during orthodontic treatment, including traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and acetaminophen, have been scientifically shown to decrease the rate of tooth movement (Tyrovola, 2001). Mechanism of tooth movement Orthodontic tooth movement is mediated by specific reactions at a cellular level that take place in the tissues surrounding teeth."

The American middle class is a social class in the United States. [ 1] [2] While the concept is typically ambiguous in popular opinion and common language use, [3] contemporary social scientists have put forward several ostensibly congruent theories on the American middle class. Depending on the class model used, the middle class constitutes anywhere from 25% to 66% of households. One of the first major studies of the middle class in America was White Collar: The American Middle Classes, published in 1951 by sociologist C. Wright Mills. Later sociologists such as Dennis Gilbert of Hamilton College commonly divide the middle class into two sub-groups. Constituting roughly 15% to 20% of households is the upper or professional middle class consisting of highly educated, salaried professionals and managers. Constituting roughly one third of households is the lower middle class consisting mostly of semi-professionals, skilled craftsmen and lower-level management.

"text": "Corporate crime, also called white-collar crime or organized crime, refers to criminal offenses that are committed by persons during the course of legitimate business activities. The crimes are often non-violent and involve such crimes as fraud, insider trading, and money laundering. Another type of offense is state-corporate crime, in which the corporations that rely on states for financial support commit crimes to gain profits illegally. The principals and directors of corporations can be charged with corporate crimes, and the corporation itself can be organized to commit crimes. The employees of businesses and corporations may also commit crimes, often without the knowledge of the owners or principals of the business. The term white-collar is often associated with professional workers who wear business shirts, as opposed to blue-collar for workers in industrial or low-wage jobs. Many of the individuals who have been charged with corporate crime are considered middle or upper class in their society and are professional workers. The crimes that they commit in business settings do not often involve crimes of violence, such as murder or battery. Those who commit white-collar crimes commit non-violent crimes, involving unethical activities, fraud, and financial theft. For example, health care fraud is a type of corporate crime where employees submit fraudulent information in order to obtain increased amounts of reimbursements from an insurance company for medical services."

When President Franklin Roosevelt took office in January 1933, 15 million Americans were unemployed. Many had lost not only their jobs, but their also their savings and homes and were dependent on relief money from the government to survive. Businesses and banks had closed, production and sales of goods and services had been severely reduced. Most federal relief efforts had been mired for some time in a quagmire of political and legislative wrangling. Little aid or direction had actually reached the state level. On May 22, 1933, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) was inaugurated. The chief architect of this program was Harry Hopkins, the former president and executive director of the New York State Temporary Emergency Relief Administration and a man who had, by 1933, 20 years of experience in social work and welfare administration. He had worked with (then Governor) Franklin Roosevelt in New York, and the two became good friends, with Hopkins serving as Roosevelt's chief advisor and confidant throughout his administration. Hopkins sprang into action less than a week after Roosevelt's inauguration, approaching Roosevelt's secretary of labor, Frances Perkins, with a plan for a program of federal relief."

[ 1]In the early 1880s, the craft unions of skilled workers walked hand in hand with the Knights of Labor but the harmony did not last long and by 1885, the Knights' leadership became hostile to trade unions. The Knights argued that the specialization of industrialization had undermined the bargaining power of skilled labor. This was partly true in the 1880s but it had not yet made obsolete the existence of craft unionism. [ 2]... The impact of scientific management upon skilled workers should not be overstressed, especially in the period before World War I. [3]The period between 1901 and 1925 signals the rise and fall of the Socialist Party of America which depended on skilled workers."

Heathfield Updated July 27, 2017Exempt employees are employees who, because of their positional duties and responsibilities and level of decision-making authority, are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) . Whether an employee is exempt or nonexempt depends on how much money the employee is paid, how the employee is paid, and the nature and responsibilities of the work they do. Exempt employees are expected, by most organizations, to work whatever hours are necessary to accomplish the goals and deliverables of their exempt position. Thus, exempt employees should have more flexibility in their schedules to come and go as necessary to accomplish work than non-exempt or hourly employees . Exclusions from the FLSA Coverage According to the FLSA, \"\"Particular jobs may be completely excluded from coverage under the FLSA overtime rules. There are two general types of complete exclusion. Some jobs are specifically excluded in the statute itself. For example, employees of movie theaters and many agricultural workers are not governed by the FLSA overtime rules. Another type of exclusion is for jobs which are governed by some other specific federal labor law. \"\""

Typical clothing choices consist of conservative colors, fabrics and styles. Occasionally, office workers can dress less formally in apparel that helps maintain a productive business environment yet is comfortable enough to feel more relaxed than on a typical work day. When in doubt about workplace clothing attire, choose more conservative apparel until you know dress code norms. Men's Business Formal Attire While less than 9 percent of white collar workers dress in business formal attire, this type of dress style remains the preferred look for job interviews and daily use in conservative professions such as finance and engineering. Business formal attire consists of classically tailored dark suits, conservative ties, coordinating button down, starched dress shirts, dark leather shoes and socks. This look extends to personal grooming as well. Earrings should be removed and facial hair should be neatly groomed. White collar workers are advised to choose the business formal dress code when attending a job interview or if there are any doubts about a company's dress code.

"text": "New inflation-adjusted salary test would bring needed clarity to FLSA overtime rules Report • By Jared Bernstein and Ross Eisenbrey • March 13, 2014Download PDFIntroduction Seventy-five years ago, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 established the rules governing overtime pay. Workers covered by the FLSA overtime provisions must be paid at least “time-and-a-half,” or 1.5 times their regular pay rate, for each hour of work per week beyond 40 hours. These provisions are important for covered workers, including 75 million hourly-wage workers, who value having a 40-hour workweek and earning extra pay when they work overtime. The right to a limited workweek provides time for leisure, civic participation, commuting, self-improvement, and tending to family and friends. Preserving this right is just as important today as it was 75 years ago, and, when it comes to child-rearing, might be even more important. Between 1968 and 2008, the share of children living in households in which all parents work full time doubled from 24.6 percent to 48.3 percent. The overtime (OT) provisions of the FLSA are also important for employers, who must factor in the added expense when considering their labor costs. Though we reference these costs throughout our analysis, the focus of our paper is a fairly narrow but critical dimension of OT pay: the rules regarding the so-called “white collar exemption,” which excludes from coverage executive, administrative, and professional employees. In particular, we are concerned that the breadth of the “duties tests” of today’s OT rules exempts too many salaried white collar workers who, because of the routine nature of their work, their low pay, and the lack of control they have over their time and tasks, should be covered by the act and entitled to OT pay and other FLSA protections, such as the minimum wage. In addition, we suspect that millions of employees who are not exempt and who are entitled to overtime pay do not know it because the law and regulations are so opaque."

"text": "New FLSA Rule Raises Minimum Salary Thresholds for Exemption from Overtime May 20, 2016Practices: Labor & Employment Printer-Friendly Version Background In 2014, President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the U. S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) to update the regulations that define which white collar workers are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”). The DOL published the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in July 2015, and the comment period for the proposed rule—which yielded 270,000 responses—closed in September 2015. On May 18, 2016, after much anticipation, the DOL published the final rule (the “Final Rule”). Provisions of the New FLSA Rule The Final Rule implements the following changes, which will become effective on December 1, 2016: The Final Rule increases the new minimum salary level required for the executive, administrative, and professional “white collar” exemptions from $455 a week ($23,660 per year) to $913 per week ($47,476 per year). Up to 10% of the salary level for these “white collar” exemptions can be met with nondiscretionary bonuses, incentive payments, and/or commissions if the employer pays them at least quarterly. The Final Rule increases the minimum compensation level required to meet the separate “highly-compensated employee” exemption from $100,000 to $134,004 per year. Of that amount, at least $913 per week must be paid on a salary basis. These salary/compensation levels will automatically increase every three years. For the executive, administrative, and professional exemptions, the salary will be adjusted to the 40th percentile of full-time non-hourly workers in the region of the country with the lowest average wages. For the highly compensated employee exemption, the salary will be adjusted to the 90th percentile of full-time non-hourly workers nationally."

Usually individuals are grouped into classes based on their economic positions and similar political and economic interests within the stratification system.

Many hunter-gatherer societies do not have social classes, often lack permanent leaders, and actively avoid dividing their members into hierarchical power structures. [ 2]The factors that determine class vary widely from one society to another. Even within a society, different people or groups may have very different ideas about what makes one \"\"higher\"\" or \"\"lower\"\" in the social hierarchy. Some questions frequently asked when trying to define class include 1) the most important criteria in distinguishing classes, 2) the number of class divisions that exist, 3) the extent to which individuals recognize these divisions if they are to be meaningful, and 4) whether or not class divisions even exist in the US and other industrial societies. [ 3] . The theoretical debate over the definition of class remains an important one today. Sociologist Dennis Wrong defines class in two ways - realist and nominalist."

Last revised November, 2008. Chapter Contents Background Catecholamines and Health Assessment Methodological Considerations Gender Differences Relevance for Allostasis Conclusion References Background Research on the sympathetic adrenal-medullary (SAM) system has its roots in the work of Walter B. Cannon from the beginning of the 20th century (Cannon, 1914). On the basis of animal experiments, he described the fight-or-flight response, or the emergency function of the adrenal medulla. The SAM system is activated when an individual is challenged in his/her control over the environment (Henry, 1992). Via the hypothalamus and the sympathetic nervous system, psychological stress stimulates the adrenal medulla to secrete the two catecholamines, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), into the bloodstream. This rapid defence reaction (occurring in less than a minute) prepares the body for battle. The cardiovascular and neuroendocrine functions activated by the SAM system are aimed at mobilizing energy to the muscles, brain and heart and, at the same time, reducing blood flow to the internal organs, skin and gastro-intestinal system. In response to physical threat, this is an efficient means of survival as it increases the organism's capacity for fight or flight. Today, however, the SAM system is more often challenged by threats of a social or mental nature rather than a physical one."

We also discuss the difference between white-collar and blue-collar crime and define corporate crime and organized crime. Social Conflict Theory What social patterns exist between social classes and what problems are caused by the conflict between them? How does social class affect deviance? These are questions asked by sociologists when considering the social conflict theory. Social conflict theory is all about inequality in society. It proposes that laws and norms reflect the interests of powerful members of society. In other words, social order is maintained through competition and conflict, and the 'winners' - those with the most power and the greatest economic and social resources - benefit by taking advantage of the 'losers.' We discuss social conflict theory several times throughout this class, as it is one of the major sociological theories of how society operates as a whole. In this lesson, though, we'll focus on what this theory suggests about deviance."

Nurses have to deal with a number of hazards that other occupations do not have – such as highly polished floors that often have liquids spilled upon them and circumstances that require them to move quickly in order to respond – such as when a patient is coding and needs immediate treatment. This makes choosing nursing shoes difficult in itself, but when you add the fact that nurses also work longer shifts than most and spend the majority of the day on their feet, it makes the task exponentially more difficult. This guide will list a variety of shoes including cheap nursing shoes, men’s nursing shoes and more!Why Are Nursing Shoes Different? So, what makes nursing shoes different than the other work shoes that are out there? The main reason that this is the case is simple comfort. Comfortable nursing shoes are manufactured not with the average consumer in mind, but with nurses specifically, which means that they are engineered to be as comfortable as possible. This makes the price go up and often puts them out of the normal price range for the average consumer, but it also means that the person wearing them is going to be comfortable, safe and perhaps even stylish throughout the workday. Of course, the nurse wearing these shoes has to determine where the balance between price and comfort, safety and durability is for them. Men’s and Women’s Nursing Shoes It is also worth noting that there are both men’s and women’s nursing shoes available."

By Lauren Wise; Updated September 21, 2017The benefits of peat moss are surprisingly vast, not just for the garden, but to the environment as a whole. Peat regularly thrives in peat bogs and is a soft, lighter version of regular soil. It has a crumbly texture with many fibers that allow it to absorb lots of water and nutrients, releasing them as needed. Water and Nutrient Absorption Peat moss provides the cell structure of an ideal sponge for nutrient and water absorption. It will absorb them or add them to the ground over time, depending on what you saturate the peat moss with. It can add much-needed nutrients to your plants through the soil as a type of time-release fertilizer. Peat moss can also hold 20 times its weight in moisture, so it acts as a time-release for watering as well. Economic Benefits Sphagnum peat moss is so lightweight that when it is removed from its bales it expands to twice the size. This not only provides you with more bang for your buck, but lasts a long time."

Although it has little nutrient value, it's a good soil amendment. It lightens the soil, allows air to enter, holds moisture without being soggy and generally improves soil structure. But most gardeners probably don't realize that peat takes hundreds of years to form, explained Linda Mc Mahan, horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service. Wetland ecologists say that peat is being harvested at non-sustainable rates. While the peat industry argues that peatlands can be managed at sustainable levels, it recognizes that alternatives to peat must be developed in order to meet environmental concerns of consumers and contend with increased regulation of peatland exploitation. As useful as peat is for horticulture, there are good alternatives, said Mc Mahan. One substitute is coir, or coconut dust. When coconuts are harvested and husked, the long fibers are removed and used for such things as upholstery stuffing, rope, doormats, and brushes. The short fibers are left over and have found use in horticulture as coconut \"\"peat. \"\""

Mosses, along with the majority of lawn weeds, mostly take full advantage of areas which are barren in the lawn, or of yards which are sparsely covered at best. Moss flourishes in parts of a yard which are shady, while weeds prefer to dig in where there is direct sunlight available. The good news is that such Lawn Moss does not eliminate existing grass, like a number of individuals fear. The greatest defense where lawn moss is concerned proves to be a full and vibrant grassy lawn. This article covers the problem of lawn moss, along with efficient ways to prevent it, control it, and address it once it is present in your yard. Causes of Lawn Moss Bare patches in a family’s lawn come from a variety of different causes. Some of these are poor lawn drainage, grass varieties which are not appropriate for the climate and area, soil compaction, drought, too much shade, poor ground fertility, an accumulation of thatch, poor mowing practices, diseases, and various other cultural particulars. Many typical reasons for lawn failure include moss and additional problems with weeds. Through improving these elements in the lawn, you can get healthy, thicker grass."

It is the only soil amendment that helps soil achieve the proper balance of air and water, and also helps loosen dense soil and add density to sandy soil. Peat moss has many uses in gardening and in lawn care. Condition Garden Soil Add peat moss to the soil of a garden to condition the soil before planting. Peat moss is ideal for improving the texture of the soil, and when added to garden soil it will stop nutrient runoff from occurring by holding water and nutrients in. Dig 1 inch of peat moss into 6 inches of soil by hand, being careful not to damage plant roots. Improve Compost Use peat moss to improve your compost. By mixing an 1 inch of peat moss into every 4 inches of compost, you help the compost form into a nutrient-dense, crumbly, easy-to-spread fertilizer.

Due to the relatively shallow depth and limited volume of a container, growing media must be amended to provide the appropriate physical and chemical properties necessary for plant growth. Field soils are generally unsatisfactory for the production of plants in containers. This is primarily because soils do not provide the aeration, drainage and water holding capacity required. To improve this situation several “soilless” growing media have been developed. The following is a description of some of the most commonly used amendments for the production of greenhouse crops. Peat and Peat-Like Materials Peat moss is formed by the accumulation of plant materials in poorly drained areas. The type of plant material and degree of decomposition largely determine its value for use in a growing medium. Although the composition of different peat deposits vary widely, four distinct categories may be identified: Hypnaceous moss – this type of peat consists of the partially decomposed remains of hyprum, polytrichum and other mosses of the Hypanaceae family."

Dozens of different ingredients are used in varying combinations to create homemade or commercial growing media. By understanding the functions of growing media, you can evaluate the qualities of individual types and select which ones might work best for your container vegetable garden. The choice is very important because your plants are dependent on a relatively small volume of growing medium. Unlike their cousins growing in garden soil, containerized plant roots cannot grow around obstacles or mine the soil far and wide for nutrients and water. Growing medium has three main functions- 1) supply roots with nutrients, air, and water, 2) allow for maximum root growth, and 3) physically support the plant. Roots grow in the spaces between individual particles of soil. Air and water also travel through these pore spaces. Water is the medium that carries nutrients that plants need to fuel their growth, and air is needed for root growth and the health of soil microorganisms that help supply plants with nutrients. Irrigation water moves through the pore spaces, pushing out the air."

The seeds we planted would sprout and begin to grow, but soon the rate of growth would slow and produce undersize vegetables. Some would succumb to damage from insect pests and slugs, and even when we purchased healthy seedlings for transplanting, they failed to grow to the size we expected. During our first few seasons of gardening we spent more time weeding than anything else. Our undersize plants left much of the topsoil exposed, and local weeds took advantage of the sunlight and available ground space. Although we watered the beds regularly and applied mulch to supress the weeds, the harvest from our early vegetable gardens was pitiful. Over time we learned what most successful gardeners know: building soil is what gardening is all about. Once we turned our attention to the condition of the soil, our garden began to grow. Today we enjoy bountiful harvests from all our garden beds, and we spend almost no time weeding or dealing with insect pests.

Dry soil makes it difficult for plants to spread their roots and absorb nutrients. Extremely dry conditions will also affect the soil's ability to absorb moisture during heavy rains and may deteriorate topsoil as the water runs off. The addition of organic materials over several seasons will slowly improve dry soil, making it suitable for any plant. Take some soil into your hand and attempt to crumble it to determine the texture of the soil. Excessively gritty soil is composed of sand. Small sand granules drain too quickly and require the addition of moisture-holding organic material. Clay soil, which clumps in the hand and does not easily break apart, requires the addition of sand. Test the soil's nutrient levels using a soil p H test. Tests are available from gardening centers, with instructions included."

When I first began gardening, I purchased transplants from a local nursery and had a difficult time getting the seedlings out of their individual cells. Often times the plants were root bound and suffered from transplant shock because of my mangling. Once I decided to grow my own transplants from seed and assembled a Grow Light System, using soil blocks for growing seedlings appealed to me. Since the soil block serves as the container and the soil, it is easy to transplant without injuring the roots. I learned about soil blocks from reading Eliot Coleman’s book, The New Organic Grower. Part of the charm was that the soil blocker was an investment that would be used for many years to come."

While there are many types of mulch available, one of the most convenient and cost-effective mulches is grass clippings. The use of grass as a mulch isn't without controversy among gardeners, however. Understanding more about how to use grass clippings and other mulches will help you decide which type is right for your vegetable garden. About Mulch Mulch, whether organic or inorganic, will help reduce the number of weeds that grow in your garden. Mulch achieves this by reducing the amount of light that can reach weed seedlings. It also cuts down on the amount of water that is lost in the garden by reducing evaporation. Mulch also acts an in insulator for the soil, which boosts production among plants that thrive in warm temperatures. Some mulch will also add nutrients to the soil that will boost vegetable production and replenish key nutrients. Mulch is often used in place of commercial fabric liners."

"text": "Written by Amanda Flanigan; Updated February 24, 2018Related Articles How to Plant New Grass With Peat Moss What to Cover New Grass Seed With Peat Moss on Grass Can You Put Top Soil on Top of Grass Seeds? Manufactured for garden cultivation, peat moss helps to create well-drained soil that retains water and allows oxygen to reach a plant’s root system. It is generally inexpensive and readily available at garden centers. Covering grass seed or seedlings with peat moss will not only protect the seeds from being washed or carried away, but it also helps to prevent the seeds from drying out and adds beneficial nutrients to the soil. Choosing Grass Seed The type of grass seed you use plays a major role in how well your lawn will look, so choose one that grows best in your location. For example, some areas require cool-season grasses, such as perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.), USDA zones 3 through 6, whereas others need warm-season grasses, such as St. Augustine grass ( Stenotaphrum secundatum [Walter] Kuntze), USDA zones 8 through 10. Warm-season grasses grow best when planted in late spring, while cool-season grasses thrive when planted in late summer and early fall. Preparing the Lawn Before you protect grass seedlings with peat moss, you must first germinate the seeds. Prepare the soil by removing weeds, rocks and other debris. If you use chemical weed killer to remove weeds, wait two to three weeks before panting grass seed."

In natural peatlands, the \"\"annual rate of biomass production is greater than the rate of decomposition\"\", but it takes \"\"thousands of years for peatlands to develop the deposits of 1.5 to 2.3 m [4.9 to 7.5 ft], which is the average depth of the boreal [northern] peatlands\"\". [ 2] Sphagnum moss, also called peat moss, is one of the most common components in peat, although many other plants can contribute. Soils consisting primarily of peat are known as histosols. Peat forms in wetland conditions, where flooding obstructs the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere, slowing the rate of decomposition. [ 3]Peatlands, particularly bogs, are the primary source of peat, [4] although less-common wetlands including fens, pocosins, and peat swamp forests also deposit peat. Landscapes covered in peat are home to specific kinds of plants including Sphagnum moss, ericaceous shrubs, and sedges (see bog for more information on this aspect of peat)."

It doesn’t require any further decomposition or composting; it can be applied immediately to any garden. Peat moss is also sold in tightly packaged bales at pretty much any store that has a garden center such as Walmart, Lowe’s or Home Depot, or a local nursery. The fact that it comes packaged is a marvelous convenience in and of itself: you don’t have to own a truck to haul it, or have to pay for somebody else to haul it to your house. Packaged peat moss can fit in the back seat of your car or in the trunk. Peat moss is often processed; check the label to be sure. That means that it is sterilized to kill any pests that may have been in the peat moss such as fungal diseases or weed seeds. The sterilization process also tends to remove nutrients from the peat moss so unless the package label says that the peat moss has been enriched, you’ll need to add some nutrients of your own with organic fertilizers, compost, or compost tea. Don’t be confused by this last point. The peat moss, as a source of organic matter, still has an enormous nutrient holding capacity."

"text": "A nylon suture is a needle threaded with nylon thread used to join two edges of a wound together. Nylon is a non-absorbable suture, meaning that it doesn't dissolve in the body like other types of suture threads. Its durability makes a nylon suture particularly useful when closing wounds in the skin or internal organs. The use of surgical sutures has a long history in medicine. Catgut and silk were used in the middle ages, while alcohol-based and synthetic fibers are commonly used in the modern era. Nylon has been used for sutures since its invention in 1930, when it was first developed as a substitute for silk. Though nylon has a strength and durability that makes it different from other materials, all sutures share some common characteristics. For example, all sutures need to be sterilizable, resistant to infection if left in the body for long periods, easy to handle, strong, and to be able to hold a knot securely. The technique for placing a nylon suture is the same as that used for all sutures. The nylon is first threaded on a specially curved and sharpened needle used for piercing the skin."

PROSTHETIST'S ROLE AND PRACTICEThe prosthetist of today is a highly skilled individual who must meet significant educational and professional standards prior to obtaining board certification. Training in limb prosthetics has advanced from apprenticeship programs without formal academic standards in the 1940s to the present requirements for a baccalaureate degree, supervised internship, national certification examinations, and mandatory continuing education. The prosthetists role in the rehabilitation team has become more significant as a result. In the period following World War II, prostheses were relatively simple, and prescriptions were therefore extremely specific, with the prosthetist given little latitude in exercising clinical judgement. Given the complexity of todays componentry, many of the details regarding prosthetic configuration are now based on clinical results observed by the prosthetist during the dynamic alignment procedure. The prosthetists function as a consultant to rehabilitation programs and hospitals is also now more clearly defined, and board certification in prosthetics is usually required if the rehabilitation programs are to receive national accreditation. The vast majority of prosthetists are small businessmen or employees of small businesses. The field of orthotics is closely aligned with prosthetics, and many individuals achieve certification in both disciplines. Large rehabilitation hospitals may have their own prosthetic and orthotic department or may contract with local private prosthetists and orthotists to have on-site provision of services. Prosthetists work within the same constraints as other health care workers, including the ubiquitous problems of rising malpractice insurance costs, federal and state cost containment programs, and increased difficulty in dealing with third-party payers."

The canine footpad is a highly specialized tissue with specific and distinctive functions, and therefore, cannot be replaced by skin from the body. Wound management of these injuries is directed toward preserving as much of the pad tissue as possible and keeping pressure off of the affected paw to encourage wound healing, re-epithelialization and epithelial keratinization. This article will discuss management of two types of wounds commonly encountered by veterinary practitioners: paw pad abrasions and lacerations. Abrasions and burns The less severe form of abrasion injury results in loss of stratum corneum from a pad. This can result from prolonged contact of the pad with a rough surface, during movement. These wounds are commonly observed in sporting dogs and working dogs. The wound leaves the deeper, more sensitive layers of the epidermis exposed."

This guide will help you understandhow peroneal tendon problems develophow doctors diagnose the conditionwhat can be done to treat this problem Anatomy What part of the ankle is involved? The peroneals are two muscles and their tendons that lie along the outside of the lower leg bone (the fibula) and cross behind the lateral malleolus (the outer ankle bone). The term medial refers to a point closer to the center of the body. So the ankle bump on the inside edge of the ankle (closest to your other ankle) is the medial malleolus. The term lateral refers to structures furthest from the center. Major muscles that support the lateral part of the ankle are the peroneus longus and the peroneus brevis. The tendons of these two muscles pass together in a groove behind the lateral malleolus. ("

The primary cause of rupture is degeneration of the ligament and rarely just trauma. Many dogs that tear one cruciate ligament will tear the other within 1 to 2 years of the first injury. The cranial cruciate ligament is the primary stabilizer of the knee. Once it ruptures the dog will become acutely lame due to severe inflammation that occurs within the joint. This will generally improve within the first few days if the dog is placed on anti-inflammatory medications. We believe the chronic lameness is associated with the instability within the stifle joint. This chronic lameness is caused by the tibial plateau angle. In the dog the tibial plateau slopes caudally. When the dog bears weight the femur hits the top of the tibia and slips backward down the tibial plateau."

Sokolove and David K. Barnes Extensor Tendons Extensor tendons are quite superficial, covered only by skin and a thin layer of fascia, and are thus highly susceptible to injury by commonly experienced trauma. Such injuries may result from lacerations, bites, or burns, but they may also be caused by closed injury with even seemingly superficial lacerations. Whereas some extensor tendon injuries must be managed by a hand surgeon, others may be treated in the emergency department (ED). The emergency clinician must understand the anatomy, principles of treatment, repair technique, and postrepair care of these injuries to ensure the best possible patient outcome. Functional Anatomy There are 12 extrinsic extensors of the wrist and digits, all of which are innervated by the radial nerve. The muscles that give rise to these tendons originate in the forearm and elbow ( Fig. 48-1 ). The extrinsic extensor tendons reach the hand and digits by passing through a fibroosseous tendon sheath (retinaculum) located at the dorsal surface of the wrist. This synovium-lined sheath provides smooth gliding of the tendons and prevents bowstringing when the wrist is extended. 1 The dorsal retinaculum contains six compartments or subdivisions ( Fig."

"text": "\"Suturing and Wound Closure, Part 3: Wound Repair in Special Areas December 13, 2010 | Office Procedures Caring for and closing wounds in certain areas involve additional risks and require special techniques. Wounds to the hands and feet—and anywhere on the head, including the scalp, face, and lips—can be particularly difficult to care for. In earlier articles in this series on wound closure (CONSULTANT, October 2007, page 1035; CONSULTANT, October 2010, page 441), I discussed preclosure issues, traditional suturing, and alternatives to sutures. Here I describe techniques for evaluating and closing wounds in difficult-to-treat areas so as to minimize the risk of any adverse consequences and maximize the chances of a good outcome. Figure 1 – An important part of the evaluation of hand wounds is checking for tendon lacerations by assessing tendon function. To check for a partial tendon laceration, test the strength of the injured finger: apply firm pressure to the distal phalanx with the corresponding phalanx of your dominant hand while instructing the patient to resist. A full-strength response makes tendon laceration very unlikely. Suspect a partial tendon laceration if the patient responds with partial strength. No movement is consistent with a complete tendon laceration. WOUNDS ON THE HANDS AND FEET The hand is one of most frequently lacerated areas of the body."

"text": "Once the decision has been made, you will be less anxious and feel more in control if you know what to expect – what the “normal” routine is for this type of surgery. The more information you have, the more prepared you will be. It is a good idea to check with your insurance company prior to scheduling your surgery to check your coverage and any pre-authorization requirements. Ask exactly what will be covered and what will not. Ask especially about your post operative office visits, glasses and/or contact lenses. A few days prior to surgery a general medical examination and routine laboratory tests (such as blood count and EKG) are done to insure that you are well enough to undergo surgery. You should not use aspirin for 2 weeks prior to surgery, since it tends to cause bleeding during surgery. Antibiotic drops are generally started one day before surgery to protect the eye from infection. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight before the surgery (ask your doctor about taking prescription medications the day of the surgery). Corneal Transplant Illustration In most cases, the surgery is done on an outpatient basis- you enter the hospital or surgery center a few hours prior to surgery and leave that same day- generally a few hours after the surgery."

"text": "An overview of types, principles, and procedures. When planning on performing surgery in a research setting, it is essential to consider aspects of the procedure that can act as confounding factors. Two elements that often do not receive enough consideration, especially in rodent surgery, include the type of needle and the suture being used for individual procedures. Selecting an inappropriate needle can lead to preventable trauma. In addition, sutures are foreign biomaterial, which could impact the wound healing process, thereby potentially acting as a confounding factor. Surgical needle and suture selection is dependent on their characteristics, the type of procedure for which they are intended, the anatomic site of the procedure, and the surgeon’s preference and experience. This article reviews the types of needles and sutures available, as well as the principles that impact needle and suture selection, while providing recommendations for commonly performed surgical procedures within the laboratory animal science field. Needles Needle Ends The ideal surgical needle is made of high quality stainless steel, as slim as possible without compromising strength, stable in the grasp of a needle holder, able to carry suture material through tissue with minimal trauma, sharp enough to penetrate tissue with minimal resistance, rigid enough to resist bending but not break, sterile, and corrosion-resistant. There are two basic needle end types, “eyed” and “eyeless” (Figure 1). Those that have the hole at the suture side of the needle and that need to be threaded with suture are “eyed.”"

"text": "\"Incision into the Abdomen Making an incision Sometime during their lives, most animals have some type of surgery. Often it is a neuter or spay. Other abdominal surgeries and surgeries to repair a fracture are also common. In most cases, when an incision is made, the cut is not just made through the skin, but also through the subcutaneous layer. This layer is composed of fat and connective tissue. Under the subcutaneous layer, are the muscles. In many surgeries the incision has to be made through these, as well. Closing an incision To provide the best healing and most support, the three layers (muscle, subcutaneous layer, and skin) need to be closed Closing the Muscle Layerseparately. The muscle layer is usually closed with individual stitches that go perpendicular to the incision. Then the subcutaneous layer is closed with a running or \"\"continuous\"\" suture in which multiple stitches are made without tying individual knots for each one."

Design Meta-analysis. Data sources Medline, CINAHL, AMED, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched, in addition to the grey literature, in all languages from 1950 to September 2009. Additional studies were identified from cited references. Selection criteria Two authors independently assessed papers for eligibility. Included studies were randomised and non-randomised controlled trials that compared the use of staples with suture material for wound closure after orthopaedic surgery procedures. All studies were included, and publications were not excluded because of poor methodological quality. Review methods Two authors independently reviewed studies for methodological quality and extracted data from each paper. Final data for analysis were collated through consensus. The primary outcome measure was the assessment of superficial wound infection after wound closure with staples compared with sutures."

[ 41] In the modern era, noninvasive imaging studies have made clinical observation less important for initial diagnosis of elevated ICP; however, clinical observation has not lost its importance for ongoing monitoring of a patient’s condition. Therefore, the examination should occur frequently. The patient should be evaluated for the following: Headache, nausea, and vomiting Degree of alertness or consciousness (Glasgow coma score should be assessed in the unconscious patient. See the Glasgow Coma Scale calculator as well as a description of the scale in the Medscape Reference article Head Trauma . [ 42] )Language comprehension, repetition, fluency, articulation Pupillary reactivity (Pupillary asymmetry or anisocoria of more than 2 mm should be noted. ) Extraocular movements and visual fields in all quadrants (If the patient is unable to follow commands, check visual pursuit, blink to visual threat, or dolls eye maneuver. Pay particular attention for a VI nerve palsy. ) Funduscopic examination (This also remains the criterion standard in the evaluation of increased ICP. ) Vital signs (Note particularly the absence or presence of Cushing triad: respiratory depression, hypertension, bradycardia. )"

Related to gastrostomy: tracheostomy, gastrostomy feeding Gastrostomy Definition Gastrostomy is a surgical procedure for inserting a tube through the abdomen wall and into thestomach. The tube is used for feeding or drainage. Purpose Gastrostomy is performed because a patient temporarily or permanently needs to be fed directlythrough a tube in the stomach. Reasons for feeding by gastrostomy include birth defects of themouth, esophagus, or stomach, and problems sucking or swallowing. Gastrostomy is also performed to provide drainage for the stomach when it is necessary to bypass a long-standing obstruction of the stomach outlet into the small intestine. Obstructionsmay be caused by peptic ulcer scarring or a tumor. Precautions Gastrostomy is a relatively simple procedure. As with any surgery, patients are more likely to experience complications if they are smokers, obese, use alcohol heavily, or use illicit drugs. In addition, some prescription medications may increase risks associated with anesthesia."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Background Ectropion and entropion are common maladies of the eyelid margin that can directly affect ocular function and patient comfort; surgical repair is commonly performed. Ectropion (out-turning of the eyelid) can present with keratoconjunctivopathy, infection, and dermatitis, among other signs and symptoms. Tearing is a common presentation, whether the punctum is everted (resulting in a tear outflow problem) or not (as in reflex tearing from irritation and exposure keratoconjunctivopathy). Combined-mechanism tearing is not unusual in these cases. Ectropion is classified into the following categories on the basis of etiology: Congenital ectropion - This is due to a developmental vertical foreshortening of anterior lamellar tissue, resulting in eversion of the lid margin Cicatricial ectropion - This results from vertical foreshortening caused by acquired scarring or inflammation and may coexist with involutional horizontal lengthening of the lid margin due to chronic vertical traction; treatment in these cases is directed at lengthening the lid vertically with midface lifting or skin grafts or flaps; concomitant repair of any horizontal component is similar to repair of involutional ectropion Mechanical ectropion - This is due to a mass effect on the eyelid (eg, from a tumor), which pulls the lid margin away from the globe; it is managed through treatment of the underlying causative factor (eg, tumor excision)Involutional ectropion - This is due to horizontal laxity of the eyelid, leading to stretching of the lid or dehiscence of its attachments at the medial or lateral canthus, with resultant out-turning of the lid margin Of these, involutional ectropion (see the images below) is the type most commonly seen in clinical practice. Right lower-eyelid horizontal laxity leading to ectropion, as well as mild lower-eyelid retraction. Patient was symptomatic and complained of ocular irritation. Preoperative tape test trial to tighten eyelid horizontally led to relief of patient's symptoms; lateral tarsal strip procedure was planned for treatment.

Medial spindle procedure to intort punctum, in conjunction with lateral tarsal strip procedure for horizontal tightening, is to be performed."

They freeze well and are probably the best microwave food in the world. Simply roll up some grated cheese, cooked bacon, tomato, cooked mushrooms - or in fact anything you like - in an oatcake and microwave it on full for about a minute. You can also grill them, or eat them cold. The North Staffordshire oatcake is a culinary delicacy that until recently, was almost entirely unknown outside of North Staffordshire, England. Hundreds of thousands of these delicious delicacies are made each year, many from closely-guarded family secrets, and Potteries people love them. Sadly nowadays there are very few traditional oatcake shops left still cooking using traditional methods, and giving that authentic taste, but we are giving you the chance to try a truly...

"text": "High Calorie Weight Gain Meal Plans Written by Daisy Whitbread, MSc N If you are underweight (per the body mass index (BMI)) or simply looking to gain more weight, then the following high-calorie meal plans can help you reach your goals. They are designed for anyone who is looking to gain weight in a healthy way. They can also be used by people who would like to build muscle if used in combination with an appropriate resistance-training (weightlifting) program. Days 1-5 provide approximately 3000 calories and would be expected to result in weight gain of 1-2lbs (0.5-1kg) per week, depending on gender, body size, and activity level. Day 4 is designed for vegetarians and Day 5 is vegan, and these 2 days also provide approximately 3000 calories. Days 6 and 7 are slightly different and should only be followed by those who are training regularly and looking to increase their muscle mass significantly. Day 7 is a high protein day, which can help increase muscle growth even more effectively. People who are not exercising should skip some of the snacks in order to achieve healthy weight gain and avoid the build-up of unhealthy fat. For more meal ideas see the articles on high calorie foods, and high protein foods. Advertisement (Bad ad?"

If I followed yours I would be having far too few! I want to lose weight and on my 46 points last week I lost 4lbs, if I had eaten less I would have lost more but prob would not be able to maintain it - be careful giving out false info - some people might follow your formula and it is not right.20-06-11, 21:16 #4Teri F (5)Member Join Date Apr 2009Posts 1,995Sadly it didn't quite work out for me either. I get 24 according to your formula, but am actually on 30 at my meeting. I did find a couple of websites with incorrect info, so it is possible that this comes from one of those. Do wish WW would publish their formula, but I guess you can see why they don't!21-06-11, 16:07 #5Ava TMember Join Date Jan 2007Posts 439Yes i found this formula online. Sorry it hasnt worked for you, i know at ww they add extra points for exercising and a weekly extra allowance. Im not sure if this is might have changed it for you.21-06-11, 16:11 #6Ava TMember Join Date Jan 2007Posts 439Oh by the way..."

"text": "10 things to do with smoked salmon By Natalie Hardwick - Deputy editor - bbcgoodfood.com This luxurious smoked fish can be used in recipes as well as enjoyed straight from the pack in slices. We have inspiration, from soup to sushi. Once a luxury product, smoked salmon is now a mainstay of supermarket chiller counters and UK dinner tables. From thrifty trimmings weaved into scrambled eggs, to versions flavoured with herbs, beetroot, whisky and more, there are products to suit most budgets and tastes. We're big fans of enjoying it in generous slices with a dot of horseradish atop a traditional oatcake, but it's a great ingredient to cook with too - the deeply savoury flavour imparts with stealth, meaning a little goes a very long way.... Our favourite ways with smoked salmon...1. Make your own While high-quality slices of smoked salmon are easily available from supermarkets and fishmongers, you can make a really similar cured variety at home. It's not as hard as it sounds and you don't need to own a smoke shack in the outer Hebrides to get an authentic finish. You'll need the freshest salmon fillet you can buy, then the method is to cure (so strictly speaking it's not smoked) over two days in a brine. Don't be scared of the fact you don't cook the fish over heat - the salt water infuses the raw flesh and makes it edible. Matt Tebbutt adds some Asian spices to his sherry and anise-tinged version, while our food editor Barney adds a splash of vibrant purple by marinating his salmon in beetroot."

"text": "\"Duchy of Lancaster Timeline: 1983: Doomsday OTL equivalent: Lancashire Flag Coat of Arms Duchy of Lancaster in Brown Capital (and largest city)Lancaster Demonym Lancastrian Duke Simon Towneley Chancellor Helen Southworth Area 3,079 km²Population 215,229Independence 1984Currency Pound The Duchy of Lancaster, informally and more commonly referred to as simply Lancaster, is a survivor nation comprised of mainly the former English county of Lancashire in the north-west of England, along with small parts of Cumbria to the north and Merseyside to the south. It is bordered by the WFA to the north, Cleveland to the east, and the Celtic Alliance to the south. Skyline of Lancaster, the Duchy's capital Contents [ show]History See main article: History of Lancaster Culture and Society Technology Level Although Lancaster is generally considered advanced by post-Doomsday standards, within the Duchy itself there is considerable variation in the level of technological development. The most advanced areas are the capital and surrounding area, the coastal towns and the surviving mill towns, which are at a roughly early twentieth-century level of development, with electricity, gas, a few large factories, trams and working motor vehicles (which are powered by bio-diesel or wood gas) existing alongside steam engines, horse drawn vehicles and a general lack of plastics. In more rural areas, however, particularly in the border regions, things are closer to a nineteenth or even eighteenth century level of development, with a heavy reliance on literal horse power and often primitive farming equipment, with almost all the work on smaller farms being done by hand. Electricity is supplied but tends to be unreliable, with power cuts being a common occurrence. However, it is hoped that this particular problem will be solved in the near future. Pets As was the case in most places, a lot of pets didn't survive long after Doomsday. With food in short supply there was seldom any to spare for pets. Many were killed as humanely as possible by owners whose only other choice was to let them slowly starve, or let loose to fend for themselves."

When oatcakes are sliced into quarters, each piece is known as a farl. Work quickly when making oatcakes, as the dough can be quite sticky – scatter the work surface with dry oatmeal to prevent the dough from sticking. Traditionally, one side of the oatcakes would be cooked on the griddle and the other toasted in the fire, as not all households were fortunate enough to have ovens. Nowadays, oatcakes can be baked in the oven as well as cooked on griddles. On this page Preparation"

"text": "\"Home Engineering & physics History Marion's pages How much was a loaf of bread? Who earned what? At the back end of the seventeenth century a man named Gregory King took it upon himself to find out how well-off the people of England actually were. He did it as a hobby, following his promotion from Rouge Dragon Poursuivant in the College of Arms to Lancaster Herald. In his day job he was a commissioner in charge of a new tax on marriages, births and burials. King produced a table breaking down the population by occupation and income for the year 1688. He was very clear as to who was a Ruler and who was not. In his world, a third of the citizens were Chiefs, and two-thirds Indians.

"text": "7 Day Detox Plan A safe and sensible detox plan by Weight Loss Resource's Dietitian, Juliette Kellow. Juliette's 7-Day Detox Plan By Dietitian Juliette Kellow BSc RDTweet Rather than following an extreme detox plan that limits just about every food except fruit and veg while at the same time getting you to down a nasty ‘detox’ drink every day, this plan is safer and more sensible and shouldn’t leave you short on nutrients if you follow it for just one week. Fruit – your plan can include any fruit including fresh, frozen, dried or canned in natural fruit juice. Foods to include in the plan Your plan can include: Fruit – your plan can include any fruit including fresh, frozen, dried or canned in natural fruit juice. This includes apples, bananas, pears, oranges, grapefruit, satsumas, sultanas, raisins, pineapple, mango, kiwi fruit, strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, nectarines, peaches, melons, star fruit etc Fruit juice – either make homemade fruit juices or smoothies from fresh fruit, or drink ready-made juices.

"text": "Top 5 pick-me-up foods Real Buzz September 6, 2012Boost your brain power with oats -the perfect pick me up food More Oats If you’re feeling worn out, weak or unable to concentrate, you could be deficient in certain B vitamins. B vitamins not only help to keep the brain functioning properly, they also help the body to break down carbohydrates into glucose to fuel the body. For a good source of B vitamins, try incorporating oats into your diet with a morning bowl of porridge or a few oatcakes. Not only are oats high in B vitamins, they are a great source of many other nutrients including calcium, magnesium, selenium and manganese. On top of this, oats are a low GI food, meaning that they will help keep your blood sugar stable and release a slow, steady stream of energy. Chocolate Amongst the many reported health benefits of chocolate (including its ability to lower heart disease risk, prevent wrinkles and boost the mood), the popular treat is also a great pick-me-up snack, which is great news for chocoholics. Chocolate is high in energy-boosting chemicals including theobromine (a stimulant found in many popular energy drinks) and caffeine. Furthermore, chocolate is a great source of magnesium and chromium, which both play a role in energy production. To boost your energy while protecting your health, try snacking in moderation on dark chocolate, which is lower in saturated fats and higher in antioxidants than the milk or white varieties. Fruit Dehydration can be a leading cause of low energy levels, so if you feel your energy waning throughout the day try increasing your intake of fluids and foods with high water content."

"text": "Oats are grains from the cereal plant, Avena Sativa, and once harvested are processed for use in animal feed, skin products or food. For food use, oats are milled, steamed, heated and cooled in a kiln, which brings out the flavour. The oats are then rolled, cut or ground to produce flakes, oatmeal or flour. Get ‘The Oats Story’ poster from sister website Grain Chain.com How do I know I’m getting whole grain oats? In order to retain the valuable nutrients in oats, processors set out to preserve as much of the oat grain as possible. The mill removes only the outer inedible shell known as the hull – virtually guaranteeing you get all the goodness of wholegrain no matter what form you eat oats in. EU approved health claims The following health claims have been suitably proven by science and approved by the European Commission: Oat beta-glucan has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. The beneficial cholesterol lowering effect is obtained with a daily intake of about 3g of oat beta-glucan, which equates to around 40g of oat bran or 60g of oats. Consumption of beta-glucans from oats (or barley) as part of a meal contributes to the reduction of the blood glucose rise after that meal."

At the back end of the seventeenth century a man named Gregory King took it upon himself to find out how well-off the people of England actually were. He did it as a hobby, following his promotion from Rouge Dragon Poursuivant in the College of Arms to Lancaster Herald. In his day job he was a commissioner in charge of a new tax on marriages, births and burials. King produced a table breaking down the population by occupation and income for the year 1688.

Patsy Westcott reveals how she lost weight and inches off her waistline with a 9-rule eating plan. Before: Height: 5ft 5in; Weight: 74.5kg (11st 7lb); Measurements: 39-35-42 Dress size: 16 After: Height: 5ft 5in; Weight: 68kg (10st 7lb) Measurements: 37-31-38; Dress size: 12 to 14 Marilyn Glenville is a nutritional therapist whose book Fat Around The Middle enticingly promises to change your body shape permanently within three months. I booked an appointment after finding out I weighed one stone more than when I was nine-month pregnant with my now grown-up daughter. Fat cells produce oestrogen, which is why, like many menopausal women, I’d piled on pounds as my body tried to compensate for diminishing levels of that hormone. At the same time your metabolism – the rate at which your body burns energy – slows, making it harder to shed weight. The other factor is stress. High levels of the stress hormone cortisol block insulin, which normally sweeps excess blood sugar from the bloodstream, causing it to be stored as fat – a perfect recipe for the dumpling-like tyres that were once my waspish waist. Marilyn said regaining my waistline was vital for my health. Although doctors don’t know why, a high level of central body fat with a waist of 35in or more is dangerous even if, like me, you’re not much over your ideal weight."

Source: USDA Nutrient Database Rolled oats are traditionally oat groats that have been dehusked and steamed, before being rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers and stabilized by being lightly toasted. Rolled oats that are sold as porridge oats usually have had the tough bran removed. They have often, but not always, been lightly baked or pressure-cooked or \"\"processed\"\" in some fashion. Thick-rolled oats are large whole flakes, and thin-rolled oats are smaller, fragmented flakes. Oat flakes that are simply rolled whole oats without further processing can be cooked into a porridge and eaten as \"\"old-fashioned\"\" oats, but more highly fragmented and processed rolled oats absorb water much more easily and therefore cook faster into a porridge, so they are sometimes called \"\"quick\"\" or \"\"instant\"\" oats. Rolled oats are most often the main ingredient in granola and muesli. Rolled oats can be further processed into coarse powder, which, when cooked, becomes a thick broth."

"text": "Most of us need to eat more fibre and have fewer added sugars in our diet. Eating plenty of fibre is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer. Government guidelines published in July 2015 say that our dietary fibre intake should increase to 30g a day, as part of a healthy balanced diet. As most adults are only eating an average of about 18g day, we need to find ways of increasing our intake. Children under the age of 16 don't need as much fibre in their diet as older teenagers and adults, but they still need more than they get currently:2-5 year-olds: need about 15g of fibre a day5-11 year-olds: need about 20g11-16 year-olds: need about 25g On average, children and teenagers are only getting around 15g or less of fibre a day. Encouraging them to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and starchy foods (choosing wholegrain versions and potatoes with the skins on where possible) can help to ensure they are eating enough fibre. Why do we need fibre in our diet? There is strong evidence that eating plenty of fibre (commonly referred to as roughage) is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer. Choosing foods with fibre also makes us feel fuller, while a diet rich in fibre can help digestion and prevent constipation. Find out more about the importance of fibre and when you may need to reduce your intake, in Why is fibre important?"

But what sucks about peanut butter? Yep, you know it…all the damn fat and hence calories, which means you never get to eat as much as you’d like without screwing up your diet. Enter PB2…a peanut butter alternative so good you’ll swear it’s a life hack. In case you’re not aware, PB2 is a powdered form of peanut butter that has almost all of the fat removed. You mix it with a little bit of water and it turns back into a peanut butter-like paste, which is quite tasty, and very low calorie (just over 20 calories per tablespoon ). It comes in two flavors: traditional and chocolate, and while both are good, I’m partial to the latter because I’m just a sucker for anything chocolate. Traditional Flavor I Want This Chocolate Flavor I Want This There are plenty of obvious uses for PB2–apple wedges, banana protein pancakes, toast and English muffins, and more–but as you’ll see, there’s a whole lot more you can do with it. Except when the peanut oil is the main fat in a recipe, PB2 makes a great replacement in peanut butter cookies, shakes, and other sweet treats."

We went for a roadtrip and locked her watch in a wall safe before we go for out for 3 days. ONce we are back, i took it out from a wall safe, and my wife complained that it was slow for 5 minutes after she winds it manually in morning (roughly 12 hours after she winds it) Then the next morning, she told me its slow for 5 minutes ago, and she manually adjust it. The same evening, she told me its slow for another 5 minutes - and this time, i told her to leave it. sure enough, following morning, its slow for total of about 10 minutes.. So it looks like its slow for 5 minutes every 12 hours. Thats a significant loss of precision. I still have warranty - but the rolex shop is only open Monday to Friday - and i dont want to make a trip there during work hours. ( I am in NYC) so my questions, 1) is it magnetized due to the wall safe? ( I dont even know if a wall safe has any magnet on the locks or not) 2) Do i have to bring it to rolex shop to get it fixed? Can i bring it to authorized dealer such as Torneau? ("

"text": "\"Apple Watch is water resistant, not waterproof By Alex Heath • 5:05 pm, September 9, 2014News Photo: Roberto Baldwin/The Next Web One of the smaller details Apple failed to mention during today’s keynote was its new watch’s tolerance of liquids. While the Apple Watch is designed to stay on your wrist all day, it’s not suited for all situations. It turns out that the Apple Watch will be just fine with a little water, but don’t plan on wearing it while swimming. Tech journalist David Pogue learned a couple of things about Apple’s new wearable in a private briefing during today’s media event. Apple told him that its watch is “water resistant,” not waterproof. “ Sweating, wearing it in the rain, washing your hands, or cooking with it is fine. Take it off before the swim or get in the shower, though. ”That’s a major bummer for those hoping to use the watch’s fitness tracking abilities in the water. It also means you’ll have to take it off every time you hop in the shower. Pogue also learned that you’ll be able to load apps directly onto your watch from your i Phone."

"text": "\"Determining a Watch's Value I get a lot of e-mail saying \"\"Can you tell me how much my old watch is worth?\"\". To put it simply, no, I can't. I must emphasize that I am not an expert in this field. Even experts can't put an accurate value on a watch without actually holding it in their hand and examining it carefully. Any valuation I give could be out by hundreds of dollars. The first step to identifying the value of your watch is to identify exactly what kind of watch you have. Some manufacturers (most notably \"\"Elgin\"\") can tell you this from the serial number on the watch movement (NOT the case). See the Watch Identification part of this site, especially the Elgin Database, to identify your watch from the serial number. For other watches, you will have to open the watch, look at the watch movement, and compare it to pictures. A good book to consult regarding watch values is the \"\"Complete Price Guide to Watches\"\" by Cooksey Shugart, Tom Engle and Richard E. Gilbert."

"text": "\"The best GPS running watches Whatever your needs, check out our selection of top running watches Monday December 11, 2017By James Stables and Michael Sawh@stablesjames@michaelsawh Deciding on the best running watch or GPS sports watch for you is an extremely personal choice. Each one offers a different selection of running and performance data, some of which is aimed at beginner runners who want to keep things simple, and others at athletes that want to get scientific about their training. But what makes the perfect running watch? Well, accurate GPS is a given these days, but now the focus is on biometric data. Most running watches have heart rate sensors built in, and the ability to connect a chest strap as well, for really intense sessions. And what does that heart rate data do? Aside from giving you the chance to tailor your sessions to specific heart rate zones, heart rate data can offer insights into VO2 Max (a great measure of your fitness), as well as gauge the effectiveness of a training session. Many watches now put a focus on recovery, which can help stave off injury. Using heart rate variability data, top running watches will suggest the amount of rest you need, as well as assessing how your body is adapting to your session. Finally, some top-end devices also look for information about your running form – assessing data like steps per minute (cadence) and the form of your body."

"text": "\"Home Buying guides Everything Else How to Repair a Pocket Watche Bay 6 Likes Like18 January 2016Pocket watches continue to find takers even in today’s fast-paced, highly-digitalised world and it is unlikely that this trend changes anytime soon. Depending on the monetary or sentimental value attached to a pocket watch, repairing it from time to time may well be required, and although going to a professional to get it fixed is the simplest alternative, some pocket watch problems can be fixed at home with access to the right tools. Buying tools needed to fix pocket watches is quite easy; look for them through online shopping portals, like e Bay, or search for them in regular shops that deal in watch repair tools. At the onset, take into account which type of tools the watch requires and base the search accordingly. While most tools remain common, some types of pocket watches require specialised tools. Before repairing a pocket watch, people should learn about the common watch repair cures, know how to open the pocket watch case, and learn about the types of tools necessary to repair a pocket watch. Common Cures While there are instances of pocket watches needing careful and intricate repairs to function as they should, there are numerous instances when the cure is as simple as simple can get. From a watch requiring winding or replacement batteries, these are simple fixes to seemingly big problems. Winding There are many instances when all that a hand-winding pocket watch needs to get going is proper winding. When held close to the ear, if there is absolutely no ticking sound, a winding is definitely in order."

I simply wish there were more English dubbed anime (though I realize there are already a lot) especially from Viz Media from Netflix and Hulu Plus. With Netflix, Bleach, Naruto, Inu Yasha, etc are all subbed, so I thought I'd sign up for Hulu Plus to view their selections. Same thing there, but there might be one or two dubbed episodes...but that really doesn't do me much good."

"text": "The Ultimate Best Sites to Watch Free Movies & Stream TV Shows Online [2018]Last updated: 07 April 2018Finding the best free streaming sites can sometimes be a tricky challenge. In my opinion this is simply because popular websites to watch movies online often disappear unexpectedly. The result is that people constantly need to look for new pages. It is true that there are many out there, but most are of poor quality. Nevertheless once a good one has been found things are so much easier. That’s why this blog exists. Make sure to bookmark this page for future reference. The table below ranks the top 20 websites to stream free tv shows and movies. A big preference is given to long-standing and reliable platforms. Due to users requesting options that use only HTML5 video, such options have now been included."

"text": "By: Brett Poker 08.15.2014 @ 1:24 PMI thought season 4 was fantastic. Loved the dreary atmosphere they always produce. Thought the acting was phenomenal. Though the plot of this series usually isn’t always stellar, all the other elements make up for it and therefore this show is always entertaining to me. If this is indeed the series finale, I personally love the way it ended. By: svetlana 08.17.2014 @ 8:54 AMI agree with you, I loved it. The only thing that’s always annoyed me about the show is that all of their cases are about teenagers. I’ve gotten to the point where I despise every teen on every show I watch and just want them to go away. I blame “the Sopranos” for this since every show that has followed has basically mimicked their formula. Every single critically acclaimed show has a petulant, whiny, asshole kid on it now."

"text": "\"I t was perhaps a few years ago that I noticed my fellow watch lovers speaking more and more about Tudor watches. It got me quite curious, because before that the brand had one main image - baby Rolex. My own experience with Tudor timepieces is limited, and for good reason - they aren't officially sold in the United States. I am not really sure why that is, but it is likely a strategic decision by Tudor's parent company Rolex. True enough, many people in the US don't even know about Tudor and if they do they aren't aware that Tudor watches are owned and made by Rolex. The main difference between Tudor and Rolex watches is that Rolex watches use in-house Rolex made movements, while Tudor tends to use base Swiss ETA movements. Tudor is also a slightly more entry-level timepiece, but certainly not a low-priced watch. What do they have in common? Well for years Tudor seemed to make \"\"baby Rolex\"\" watches. Meaning slightly less expensive versions of Rolex models with design changes here and there."

These are the most frequent questions that people ask, and for good reason. First off, if you’ve been looking for a dive watch, even for a short while, you surely noticed that every ‘tough’ or ‘tactical’ watch these days has some sort of water resistance rating. Most are rated in the range of 100-200 meters. Does this mean all of these watches are suitable for diving? My answer is ‘No!’, by all means. Pick a random 200-meter rated watch and you’ll most likely see it die half way through your dive. To put it bluntly, these watches are not built for scuba diving – they will not bear the pressure."

Broadcast networks averaged 13 minutes and 25 seconds of commercial time per hour in 2009, which grew to 14 minutes and 15 seconds in 2013, the story reports. On cable TV, the growth has been even more significant, the report notes. Last year, the average was 15 minutes and 38 seconds, up from 14 minutes and 27 seconds in 2009, according to the report. And more commercials are being jammed into that growing ad hole, with the number of 30-second spots decreasing while the number of 15-second ads rises. \"\" In 2009, 30-second spots accounted for 62% of all ads on television; 15-second spots were just 35%.

"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."

But now it seems the rest of the eight-legged species' relatives are not as harmless as once thought. Enlarge Photo Printer Friendly Email to a Friend What's This? SHAREDigg Stumble Upon Reddit RELATEDPHOTO IN THE NEWS: Rare Octopus Fossil Found Curious Octopus Floods Aquarium Common Octopus Photos, Facts, More According to a new study, all octopuses, cuttlefish, and some squid are venomous. The largest known octopus species, the giant Pacific octopus, can reach sizes of more than 16 feet (5 meters) across. But the 5- to 8-inch (12.7- to 20.3-centimeter) blue-ring remains the only one dangerous to humans. The find helps explain a long-standing mystery as to how exactly octopuses hunt and kill, said study leader Bryan Fry, a venom researcher at the University of Melbourne's Department of Biochemistry. Scientists have known that octopuses use their beaks to drill into shelled prey, such as clams, but no one was sure just how octopuses kill their victims. The work might also have implications for medical research, according to the study authors. Common Ancestor Fry and colleagues collected tissue samples from hundreds of cephalopod species during several expeditions in the waters around the Great Barrier Reef, Hong Kong, and Antarctica."

Adam, 1938Blue-ringed octopuses, comprising the genus Hapalochlaena, are four highly venomous species of octopus that are found in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia. [ 2] They can be identified by their yellowish skin and characteristic blue and black rings that change color dramatically when threatened. They eat small animals, including crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, and other crustaceans. They are recognized as one of the world's most venomous marine animals. [ 3] Despite their small size—12 to 20 cm (5 to 8 in)—and relatively docile nature, they are dangerous to humans if provoked and handled because of their venom which contains the powerful neurotoxin tetrodotoxin.

Before a courtship can begin between two octopuses, they first need to find each other. It is believed that a male will sense chemical attractants produced by a female and then search for her. During courtship both octopuses use their sense of sight to determine attraction. Males are looking for a large female. Larger diploid females produce more haploid eggs, by meiosis If more eggs are fertilized, it gives the male a greater probability to pass on his genes.

The size record is held by a specimen that was 30 feet across and weighed more than 600 pounds. Averages are more like 16 feet and 110 lbs. Life Cycle They live to be about four years old, with both males and females dying soon after breeding. Females live long enough to tend fastidiously to their eggs, but they do not eat during this months-long brooding period, and usually die soon afterwards. Camouflage Giant Pacific octopuses have huge, bulbous heads and are generally reddish-brown in color. Like the other members of the octopus family, though, they use special pigment cells in their skin to change colors and textures, and can blend in with even the most intricately patterned corals, plants, and rocks. Diet and Range They hunt at night, surviving primarily on shrimp, clams, lobsters, and fish, but have been known to attack and eat sharks as well as birds, using their sharp, beaklike mouths to puncture and tear flesh."

Photo © Noah Gubner / Getty Images.by Bob Strauss Updated November 17, 2017Octopuses are a family of cephalopods (a subgroup of marine invertebrates) known for their intelligence, their uncanny ability to blend into their surroundings, their unique style of locomotion (jet propulsion), and their ability to squirt ink. Read below for the 10 most fascinating octopus facts.01of 10There Are Two Major Octopus Families A Blue-Ringed Octopus. Wikimedia Commons The 300 or so species of octopus alive today are are divided into two groups, the Cirrina and the Incirrina. The Cirrina (also known as finned deep-sea octopuses) are characterized by the two fins on their head and their small internal shells. They also possess \"\"cirri,\"\" small cilia-like filaments on their arms, adjacent to their suction cups, that may have a role in feeding. The Incirrina ( benthic octopuses and argonauts) includes many of the better-known octopus species, most of which are bottom-dwelling.02of 10Octopuses Technically Have Arms, Not Tentacles An octopus arm. Wikimedia Commons The names may seem interchangeable to non-experts, but where cephalopods are concerned, marine biologists are careful to distinguish between \"\"arms\"\" and \"\"tentacles.\"\" If the invertebrate structure has suckers along its entire length, it's called an arm; if it only has suckers at the tip, it's called a tentacle. By this standard, most octopuses have eight arms and no tentacles, while two other cephalopod families, cuttlefish and squids, are equipped with eight arms and two tentacles.03of 10Octopuses Squirt Ink to Defend Themselves Wikimedia Commons When threatened by predators, most octopuses release a thick cloud of black ink, composed primarily of melanin (the same pigment that gives human beings our skin and hair color)."

Photo © Noah Gubner / Getty Images.by Bob Strauss Updated November 17, 2017Octopuses are a family of cephalopods (a subgroup of marine invertebrates) known for their intelligence, their uncanny ability to blend into their surroundings, their unique style of locomotion (jet propulsion), and their ability to squirt ink. Read below for the 10 most fascinating octopus facts.01of 10There Are Two Major Octopus Families A Blue-Ringed Octopus. Wikimedia Commons The 300 or so species of octopus alive today are are divided into two groups, the Cirrina and the Incirrina. The Cirrina (also known as finned deep-sea octopuses) are characterized by the two fins on their head and their small internal shells. They also possess \"\"cirri,\"\" small cilia-like filaments on their arms, adjacent to their suction cups, that may have a role in feeding. The Incirrina ( benthic octopuses and argonauts) includes many of the better-known octopus species, most of which are bottom-dwelling.02of 10Octopuses Technically Have Arms, Not Tentacles An octopus arm. Wikimedia Commons The names may seem interchangeable to non-experts, but where cephalopods are concerned, marine biologists are careful to distinguish between \"\"arms\"\" and \"\"tentacles.\"\" If the invertebrate structure has suckers along its entire length, it's called an arm; if it only has suckers at the tip, it's called a tentacle. By this standard, most octopuses have eight arms and no tentacles, while two other cephalopod families, cuttlefish and squids, are equipped with eight arms and two tentacles.03of 10Octopuses Squirt Ink to Defend Themselves Wikimedia Commons When threatened by predators, most octopuses release a thick cloud of black ink, composed primarily of melanin (the same pigment that gives human beings our skin and hair color)."

"text": "The Blue-Ringed Octopus can be best described as ‘one cute animal that might kill you’. The term blue-ringed octopus does not merely refer to a single species, but a genus of species that are marked by bright blue circular patterns. Despite their apparent gentle nature, these small molluscs are known to be one of the most venomous and dangerous sea creatures on the planet. An adult blue-ringed octopus is of the size of a golf ball, but if provoked, they can bite attackers, including humans. A single bite might lead to partial or complete paralysis, blindness, loss of senses, nausea, and resultant death within minutes, if left untreated. No blue-ringed octopus anti-venom has yet been discovered.

"text": "navigation search Female octopuses die round about the time their eggs hatch. [ 1] [2] She reproduces only once and puts her available energy into generating and caring for her eggs. She finds a den and lays her eggs there. After that she does not eat and spends her whole time caring for the eggs, cleaning them and aerating them. It is likely that octopuses have evolved mechanisms enabling them to match the number of eggs they produce to their available energy. An octopus that produces too few eggs will lose reproductive fitness. She will survive for a time after her eggs hatch but will soon die in any case and she has fewer progeny than she could have had. An octopus which produces too many eggs will die before her eggs hatch or will not have the strength to care for them effectively. This will also reduce her reproductive fitness. It is unlikely or impossible that octopuses can balance the above precisely."

Cephalopods are the most intelligent, most mobile, and the largest of all molluscs. Squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, the chambered nautilus, and their relatives display remarkable diversity in size and lifestyle with adaptations for predation, locomotion, disguise, and communication. These \"\"brainy\"\" invertebrates have evolved suckered tentacles, camera-like eyes, color-changing skin, and complex learning behavior. Their lengthy evolutionary history spans an impressive 500 million years and the abundant fossils they've left behind (mostly shelled nautiloids and ammonoids) record repeated speciation and extinction events. From myths about their enigmatic fossilized remains to fantastic accounts of tentacled sea monsters, cephalopods also figure prominently in the literature and folklore of human societies around the world. Today, biologists and paleontologists continue to captivate the human mind and imagination with details of these molluscs' behavior, natural history, and evolution. Fossil record There are about 17,000 named species of fossil cephalopods, compared to the 800 identified living species of cephalopods. Clearly the lineages of extinct taxa were prolific and diverse. So diverse in fact, that paleontologists have identified three distinct fossil clades that are entirely extinct: Endoceratoidea, Actinoceratoidea, and Bactritoidea (cladogram A, at right)."

It moves by: flapping its fins expanding and contracting its webbed arms shooting water through its funnel. Anatomy Digestive system Has bigger digestive gland, presumably because it swallows its prey whole. Reproduction Females produce eggs year round, there appears to be no specific breeding season. To reproduce the male uses his enlarged segment on his arm, that holds sperm, and injects it into the females mantle cavity. The female then lays eggs under rocks or shells on the ocean floor. Dumbo Octopus The Dumbo Octopus Eating Habits It eats crustaceans (ex: lobster), worms, bivalves (mollusks ex: clams), and occasionally small fish.

And no, they're not edible - they prefer living.kessie · 10 years ago1 2 Comment That depends on what you mean by edible. Both the squid and Octapus are cephalopods, along with cuttlefish and the nautelus. Most cephalopods are mollusks that have lost their shells. The main difference between the Octopus and squid is the number of legs (8/10 respectively with 2 being specialized for feeding in the squid) and the squid is more stream lined in shape and travels differently. Squid can also squirt ink (as well as cuttlefish) whereas the octopus cannot. The octopus is considered more intelligent than the squid, but then again, all intelligence studies need to be taken with a grain of salt.tiger b · 10 years ago0 1 Comment They're not exactly the same. An octopus has eight tentacles, whereas squid have 6 or 10 tentacles, depending on the species. And yes, some types of octopus and squid are edible."

Even with its small size, the blue tinged octopus is one of the deadliest creatures. The worst thing is that the victim does not feel any pain of its bite but effects are certainly speedy and sometimes fatal. The blue ringed octopuses inhabits in the rock pools surrounding Australia coast. These species take shelters in old shells and rocky holes after and before hunting. These shells provide absolute protection against potential predators such as sharks, snappers, moray eels and groper. They are more readily found in the coral reefs of Indian and Pacific oceans ranging from Japan to Australia. In Australia blue ringed octopus is found in South Australia and New South Wales. They are characterized by blue and black rings displaying on their yellowish skin. There are around 50 to 60 blue rings covering dorsal of mantle."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Anti-predator adaptation in action: the seal shark Dalatias licha (a–c) and the wreckfish Polyprion americanus (d–f) attempt to prey on hagfishes. First, the predators approach their potential prey. Predators bite or try to swallow the hagfishes, but the hagfishes have already projected jets of slime (arrows) into the predators' mouths. Choking, the predators release the hagfishes and gag in an attempt to remove slime from their mouths and gill chambers. [ 1]Anti-predator adaptations are mechanisms developed through evolution that assist prey organisms in their constant struggle against predators. Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations have evolved for every stage of this struggle. The first line of defence consists in avoiding detection, through mechanisms such as camouflage, masquerade, apostatic selection, living underground, or nocturnality. Alternatively, prey animals may ward off attack, whether by advertising the presence of strong defences in aposematism, by mimicking animals which do possess such defences, by startling the attacker, by signalling to the predator that pursuit is not worthwhile, by distraction, by using defensive structures such as spines, and by living in a group. Members of groups are at reduced risk of predation, despite the increased conspicuousness of a group, through improved vigilance, predator confusion, and the likelihood that the predator will attack some other individual. Some prey species are capable of fighting back against predators, whether with chemicals, through communal defence, or by ejecting noxious materials."

What about these “flathead” engines that you also hear about? Here’s the skinny: Flathead Engines Flathead engines, also known as L-head engines or L-block engines, are the most simplistic type of small engine that you’ll find in power equipment. They are often smaller than OHC or OHV engines and less sensitive to low-octane fuel. While they get the job done, they are generally considered to be of a lesser quality than OHC or OHV designs. OHV: Overhead Valve Engines Overhead valve engines (also called pushrod or I-head engines) are a newer design than the older flathead models, and they’re certainly an improvement. While flathead engines have their valves next to the central cylinder (s), the overhead valve engines put them above the cylinder. This makes them slightly bigger, but they produce more power."

This model has a thermostat that fits between the muffler and the engine block. To reinstall the muffler insert the bolts into the muffler first. Then slide one gasket onto the bolts followed by the thermostat. The arm on the thermostat should be facing up. Then slide the second gasket onto the bolts."

"text": "\"Lawn Mower Maintenance By: Danny Lipford There was a time when lawn work was looked on as strictly the guy’s job. In fact, it often took the strength of Hercules to pull the crank cord a minimum of 10-12 times just to start the darn machine!Long gone are those days, though, as the lawn mower has evolved into a tool that any gender can operate with ease. You may think, however, that maintaining your mower is still a job best left for the man of the house. This, too, is simply not the case. It’s very easy to take care of your mower; and, with some new innovations, yard work can actually be a fun chore. I’ll share with you some tips and tricks in keeping your yard picture-perfect and look at some of the great new mowers on the market to make life outside a lot easier. Maintaining a Lawn Mower At the start of the season, usually spring, there are three main areas to focus on when it comes to lawn mower maintenance: Change Oil: Even if you don’t think it needs it, do it! The oil should be changed at the beginning of every season. Over the course of the cutting season, dirt and other impurities will collect in the oil and those things will ruin an engine. Check with your mower’s owner’s manual for the proper procedure."

We have reservations at the Residence Inn, but a friend of mine is there now and says that it is really showing some wear since the last time we were there. SO, my question is... I am looking at the vacation properties and have a few questions. 1. Which would you stay at if you could choose any of them? We need a 2 or 3 bedroom. 2. How long does it take to get to the Disney parks from the one you picked? 3."

Booked 9th floor (top level) with superb ocean views however, all rooms face the ocean. Treated with consistent hospitable traits and food at all eateries was delicious. There is a 24 hour bar on site with hot dogs, sandwiches and nachos to name a few. One thing to note is upon arrival at airport, resort salesmen are quick to rope you into booking a visit to neighboring parks i.e. XCARET. It is best to make reservations at the Hotel. The representatives there are more informative and not as pressure-some. Orbitz/Expedia performed the best service. Purchased the 'Plus' service which provided comfortable travel in coach bus with food, and drinks to include some entertainment. Great expierence, on a scale of 1-10, ten being the best I give the hotel and trip experience an 8."

"text": "Over 6 Health Benefits of Okra, Plus Growing Tips Healthy Living By Mike Barrett Posted On February 11, 2013Also referred to as lady’s finger and gumbo, Okra is a nutritional powerhouse used throughout history for both medicinal and culinary purposes. Once loved by the Egyptians and still used in many dishes today (such as the infamous gumbo dish), this pod-producing, tropical vegetable dates back over 3500 years ago. But still today, many are enjoying both okra health benefits and the vegetable’s edible delight. Like the kiwi fruit (okra actually shares many kiwi fruit benefits ), okra is known for it’s high vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate content, (although not quite as high as kiwi). Further, okra is known for harnessing a superior fiber, which helps with digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and helps to control the rate at which sugar is absorbed. But there is much more to okra. Nutritional Content of Okra: While the “amount of nutrition” from okra varies based on how it’s consumed (pods, grams, etc), some of the key substances in the vegetable remain the same. Here are some prominent vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found in okra that deserve some spotlight. Each figure is based on 1 cup (100g) of okra. Fiber – 2.5 grams."

"text": "Home »Produce How to Plant Okra Seeds By Kathryn Hatter; Updated September 21, 2017The okra plant has some unusual horticultural cousins, including hollyhocks and hibiscus flowers. When garden soil warms sufficiently in the late spring, plant okra seeds for a harvest of green okra pods approximately 50 days later. Gardeners often use the small and tender okra pods for savory soups, stews and gumbo because the tasty and distinctive okra juice thickens hot dishes naturally, making the dishes into a hearty meal. Prepare the area where you will grow okra in the spring approximately one week after the final spring frost. Cultivate the soil down to a depth of 3 inches using the garden spade. Add 1 to 2 inches of compost or peat moss to the top of the soil and work the amendment into the soil thoroughly with the spade. Plant three or four okra seeds together (in clusters) 1 to 2 feet apart in the growing area. Cover the seeds with ½ inch of garden soil, and water the newly planted okra seeds to saturate the soil. Keep the soil around the okra seeds from drying out while the seeds germinate. Water when the soil begins to dry, but do not provide water to create puddles around the seeds."

"text": "Okra is an especially nutritious vegetable rich in fiber. Okra, also called lady fingers or gumbo, is a very nutritious pod vegetable that looks similar to a cucumber, only a little thinner and more pointed. The plant is cultivated throughout tropical and warm temperate regions worldwide, although it’s particularly popular in West Africa, the Caribbean and Southern Asia. Okra is especially high in fiber, vitamin C and folic acid. You may be unfamiliar with how to prepare okra, but making the effort to add it to your diet is an inexpensive, low-calorie and tasty way of consuming many essential nutrients. Okra Okra is a perennial flowering plant that belongs to the mallow family. Its scientific name is Abelmoschus esculentus. Okra pods can grow up to 12 inches in length, but they are typically between 3 and 6 inches long. The fibrous green pods contain many small, round white seeds arranged in rows. The pods are harvested while immature and eaten as a vegetable."

I absolutely love okra, as does the rest of our family. I use it year-round and having it fresh out of my garden makes it easy to freeze and keep on hand throughout every month of the year. Freezing okra is one of the simplest ways to store it for long periods of time. I tend to be a lazy freezer, which means I like to just chop or slice mine then stick it in a bag and freeze it. This does work well, but there is a better way to do it. Blanching okra before you freeze it keeps all the flavors intact."

It is characterized by its green color, elongated and tapering ridged pods infused with double row of seeds and slimy texture when cut open. This integral member of the cotton family is indigenous to regions around the Nile in North Africa and the Middle East for it was discovered dating as far as 3500 years ago in Ethiopia. Early Egyptians are known to love its taste. Okra later transcended to North America en route slave trade and then to Europe, Asia and South and Central America. During World War II, the shortage of coffee beans made them use the seeds as a substitute for coffee. This incident made the word “okra fever”. Since then, its popularity never disappeared from local markets to convenience stores throughout the world and throughout the year. Okra Nutrition Value Besides being low in calories, it is aplenty with vitamins of the category A, Thiamin, B6, C, folic acid, riboflavin, calcium, zinc and dietary fiber. Eating okra is highly recommended for pregnant woman because of its richness in folic acid, which is essential in the neural tube formation of the fetus during 4-12 weeks of gestation period in the mother’s womb."

"text": "\"Common Discomforts in Pregnancy Pregnancy is a time of both physical and emotional changes. Aside from the obvious changes in your body shape, the size of your uterus and shifts in your hormonal levels and metabolism can contribute to various physical and emotional discomforts. Common discomforts of pregnancy can cause some mothers to request early elective delivery. It is important to note that babies need at least 39 weeks to grow and develop before they are born. Research has shown that early elective deliveries, before 39 weeks gestation, without medical reason is linked to reduced quality of health in the infant with no benefit to the mother or infant. The pregnancy discomforts mentioned below are common; however they are not medical reasons for early delivery. The good news is, not all common discomforts of pregnancy are experienced by all women and may or may not be part of your pregnancy. It is important to remember that: You may need to try more than one remedy before you find one that works for you. Good nutrition is especially important for a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Eating well can minimize discomforts and help your body cope with the stresses of daily life."

Illustration By Keith Ward (For details on growing many other vegetables and fruits, visit our Crop at a Glance collection page. ) A semi-tropical member of the hibiscus family, okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus) produces edible flowers, pods and seeds. Okra grows best where both days and nights stay warm in summer, and it is among the easiest summer crops to grow in the humid Southeast. Where growing seasons are cooler, dwarf varieties can be grown in containers. Okra requires full sun and soil temperatures above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Types of Okra Early dwarf okra varieties suitable for small beds and large containers include fast-maturing hybrids such as ‘Annie Oakley II,’ ‘Cajun Delight’ and ‘Baby Bubba.’ These varieties seldom grow more than 4 feet tall, and they start producing pods about 55 days after planting. Main-season okra varieties include super-productive ‘Clemson Spineless’ and numerous tall heirlooms such as ‘Stewart’s Zeebest’ and ‘Perkins Long Pod,’ which mature about 60 days after planting."

"text": "\"Harvest Pressure Canning Tomatoeslyndapaz (6) September 21, 2008I've looked everywhere but can't find an answer to this question. Since pressure canning is required for low acidic foods, can I assume that I can pressure can tomatoes without added acid from lemon juice or vinegar? Everything I read says to add the acid, but I don't understand why, when I can pressure can corn or green beans that have little or no acid. If I don't add the lemon juice, should I pressure can for a longer time than what is recommended? I ask this because I just finished a batch of tomato juice and forgot to add the lemon, but I used a pressure canner maintaining the required pressure for 15 minutes. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Email Save Comment 43 Like Comments (43)readinglady (z8 OR)Oh, my gosh. We have discussed this so many times. The acid needs to be added because that makes it possible to keep the processing time short for optimal quality. With corn or green beans the processing time is going to be long regardless, unless you added so much acid it would impair flavor."

You can also start okra directly in your garden 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date as long as you cover the plants with a cold frame or grow tunnel until the weather warms up. Make sure that the covering is 2 to 3 feet tall so that the plants have room to grow. If you do not start your okra plants early, wait until there is stable warm weather. You can plant okra in the garden when the soil has warmed to 65° to 70°F. Plant okra in fertile, well-drained soil in full light about ½ to 1 inch deep and 12 to 18 inches apart. You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination."

Rebecca Wilson, CC BY 2.0Share Tweet Share E-mail The beginning of September signals that fall is on its way, along with leaves, and... okra? The exotic medicinal and culinary vegetable (available year-round), is best to get in early fall when crops in Southern states reach their peak. Typically, okra is used as a thickening agent in soups like gumbo because of its ooey-gooey texture, but it can double as a nutritional powerhouse filled with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that provide an array of health benefits from treating diabetes to preventing kidney disease. A single cup of raw okra has a little over 30 calories, about 3 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams of protein, 7.6 grams carbohydrates, 0.1 grams of fat, 21 milligrams of vitamin C, around 88 micrograms of folate, and 57 milligrams of magnesium. This makes okra a nutrition hero and a very available food when it comes to our health. Whether you consume okra stewed, boiled, fried, or even in pickled form, you can reap the health benefits of this little green vegetable any time of the year. Here's how: Alleviates Asthma Consuming even small amounts of fruits or vegetables rich in vitamin C, like okra (21 milligrams per cup), can alleviate asthma symptoms. A 2000 study published in the journal Thorax found the intake of citrus or kiwi fruits conferred a highly protective effect against wheezing symptoms in childhood. The protective effect was seen even among children who ate fruit only one to two times per week."

Okra is an annual or perennial that grows about to five feet tall and produces many seed pods that are harvested for consumption. The seed pods are used ideally when they are about four inches long just prior to their mature growth potential. The plant itself is one of the most heat and drought tolerant plants in the world. When grown in direct sunlight and watered sufficiently it grows quickly and continues to produce fruit. History of Okra Okra has a history that dates back to antiquity and was recorded to have been widely cultivated along the banks of the Nile in ancient Egyptian times. The available historical data are vague about okra and its exact origin, but Africa is the commonly thought of beginning. From Ethiopia to South America and from North Africa to the slaver countries it was carried and documented to travel far and wide along the trade routes to Northern Europe and Asia. Today the recipes for okra are found everywhere and okra is a popular staple throughout the world. As it grows best in warmer weather with plenty of water, the US center is and has been the Southern states where it first showed up with slaves that were brought over from Africa and the Caribbean."

"text": "How to Grow Oleander9 Comments Oleander is a shrub or small tree that blooms in summer with large, striking flowers in shades of red, white, light yellow, and pink. Because of its dense branching and rapid growth rate it is a popular hedge. Planting an oleander hedge is an excellent way to hide utilities, chain link fences, and other eyesores in the landscape. It also makes an attractive specimen plant if planted singly or in a garden border. While it can reach twenty feet, oleander takes well to pruning and is typically kept at six to ten feet. Tolerant of dry soils and hot sun, oleander is an excellent plant for the desert, but can thrive in warm, humid climates as well. Growing Requirements for Oleander For the best flowering, plant oleanders in full sun, but in very hot climates they bloom more reliably in light shade. Oleanders tolerate a range of soil conditions, from dry sandy soils to moist clay soils. They grow best where the weather stays above freezing, although they can tolerate short periods of below-freezing temperatures. Depending on how the plants are to be used and the size of the cultivar, the ideal planting distance ranges from five to ten feet."

In fact, oleander is reportedly a favorite suicide agent in Sri Lanka, where oleander poisonings exceed 150 per 100,000 each year. That’s a high number. Approximately 10% of these ingestions are fatal. Despite the danger, oleander seeds and leaves are used to make medicine. Oleander is used for heart conditions, asthma, epilepsy, cancer, painful menstrual periods, leprosy, malaria, ringworm, indigestion, and venereal disease; and to cause abortions. A fixed combination of oleander leaf powdered extract, pheasant's eye fluid extract, lily-of-the-valley fluid extract, and squill powdered extract has been used for treating mild heart failure.

"text": "Oleander Care: Tips For Growing Oleanders In The Garden Oleander By: Jackie Carroll Printer Friendly Version Image by Cybermama Oleander plants ( Nerium oleander) are among the most versatile of shrubs, with dozens of uses in southern and coastal landscapes. They tolerate a wide range of conditions, including difficult soil, salt spray, high p H, severe pruning, reflected heat from pavements and walls, and drought. But the one thing they can’t withstand is winter temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. However, in cooler climates, you can grow an oleander plant in a container and bring it indoors when temperatures drop. Growing Oleanders in the Garden The first thing you should know if you want to grow an oleander plant in the garden is that you need to avoid growing oleanders in home landscapes where children and pets play. All parts of oleander shrubs are poisonous and the smoke from burning oleander debris is toxic. Ingesting even a small amount of foliage, flowers or shoots from an oleander plant can be fatal. Contact with the foliage and flowers can cause severe skin irritations and allergic reactions as well. Always wear long sleeves and gloves when working with the shrub. Oleanders bloom from spring until the end of summer, producing large clusters of flowers in shades of yellow, white, pink or red at the tips of the stems."

The case of Alexei and Peter Wiltsey, ages 2 and 3, represents the first confirmed accidental deaths by oleander poisoning in county history, said coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier. Oleander, which grows in backyards, public parks and along streets throughout California, can cause death in rare cases when a substance called oleandrin is absorbed into the bloodstream, causing abnormal heartbeats and eventually proving toxic to the heart, Carrier said. Autopsies found no evidence of trauma to either boy and test results showed the presence of oleandrin in the boys' stomachs, urine and bloodstreams, Carrier said. The results gave little solace to Shirley Wiltsey, who with her husband, Tom, brought the boys to California from a Siberian orphanage in September. \"\" For me, the biggest consolation is they didn't suffer,\"\" she said. \"\" They went to sleep and didn't wake up . . . and now the boys are up in heaven with God. \"\" News of the May 4 deaths panicked some homeowners and school officials, who have flooded county officials and poison control centers with calls asking if they should eradicate oleander from backyards and school playgrounds, officials said. County officials sought to calm community fears that the thousands of oleander plants in and around Los Angeles pose a public health threat. \"\""

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."

The following images tell the story: Of course the first place a child uses to LOOK at a plant is his mouth. Luckily to really harm a child would require the ingestion of much more than most children can bear Even a small piece of lantana leaf and bloom ..... ...as soon as they hit the tongue....can quickly signal to the child that this is NOT something he should be eating!!!. Some pretty-flowers-which-look-good-enough-to-eat are Agapanthus umbellatus. Agapanthus is a name derived from the Greek words agape and anthes, meaning \"\"flower of love\"\", agapanthus is the best known and most cherished of South African flowers but it is not recommended for eating. These beautiful flowers must be edible!!. This boy can hardly wait to sink his few teeth into these beauties. Cody is a bit cautious after the lantana experience."

In common with many of the buttercup family, hellebores also contain protoanemonin in varying amounts according to the species. The roots of all Helleborus are strongly emetic and potentially fatal. In the past, it was sometimes used to cause vomiting after poisoning but this is now known to be harmful.

"text": "Oleander Care: Tips For Growing Oleanders In The Garden Oleander By: Jackie Carroll Printer Friendly Version Image by Cybermama Oleander plants ( Nerium oleander) are among the most versatile of shrubs, with dozens of uses in southern and coastal landscapes. They tolerate a wide range of conditions, including difficult soil, salt spray, high p H, severe pruning, reflected heat from pavements and walls, and drought. But the one thing they can’t withstand is winter temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. However, in cooler climates, you can grow an oleander plant in a container and bring it indoors when temperatures drop. Growing Oleanders in the Garden The first thing you should know if you want to grow an oleander plant in the garden is that you need to avoid growing oleanders in home landscapes where children and pets play. All parts of oleander shrubs are poisonous and the smoke from burning oleander debris is toxic. Ingesting even a small amount of foliage, flowers or shoots from an oleander plant can be fatal. Contact with the foliage and flowers can cause severe skin irritations and allergic reactions as well. Always wear long sleeves and gloves when working with the shrub. Oleanders bloom from spring until the end of summer, producing large clusters of flowers in shades of yellow, white, pink or red at the tips of the stems."

The olive tree was valued as a symbol of peace and happiness, while olives were used as food and a source of oil. Olive soup is a good remedy for a sore throat, according to traditional Chinese medicine (it's also the only time olives are used in Chinese cuisine). Today everyone knows how good olive oil is for health, but the humble olive is often passed up (often because they've unfairly gotten a bad rap for being high in fat). However, olives are actually a very healthy fruit, one that's been lending superb nutrition to mankind for centuries. So there's no need to pass up that tempting olive bar at the market any longer -- olives are good for you!All Olives Start Out Green If you take a look at your local supermarket, you'll see olives in a rainbow of colors, from green to brown to purple to black, with flavors just as diverse, ranging from sweet to sour. But all olives actually start out the same: green. Unripe olives are incredibly bitter and not edible."

By Eva Lana, MSc. / July 1, 2017 / Medically Reviewed For a number of years now, one oil in particular has received a lot of positive attention in the health world: coconut oil. This exotic oil has grown in popularity because of its potential beneficial effects on energy, atherosclerosis, and aging, all of which have been supported in a number of scientific articles. 1 2 3These benefits are attributed to coconut oil’s high medium chain triglyceride (MCT’s) content, which are fatty acids that are more easily used as energy by our bodies rather than stored fat, and therefore help regulate insulin triggers. 1 Coconut oil is also very high in the saturated fatty acid, lauric acid (also prominent in breast milk), which has been found to have both anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. 2Because coconut oil has been receiving so much attention, olive oil has fallen slightly to the wayside, even though it long held the title as the ultimate healthy oil. 6This brings up the question – Which is better? The simple answer is, it depends. Let’s compare one to the other so we can better form our own opinions."

"text": "Olive Oil Keeps Blood Vessels Healthy By Maureen Williams, NDOlive oil is a famously important part of the healthy Mediterranean diet, due—according to researchers—to it being rich in antioxidant compounds called polyphenols, which help prevent heart disease. One study found that taking supplemental olive oil helped improve blood vessel function in people diagnosed with mild atherosclerosis, though adding EGCG (epigallocatechin 3-gallate), a heart-healthy polyphenol found in green tea, did not enhance this effect. Looking for an additive effect The study, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, included 82 people with early signs of blood vessel dysfunction. This type of dysfunction has to do with the ability of the blood vessel lining to expand and contract appropriately and is believed to be an early sign of atherosclerosis. The participants were assigned to take either 30 ml (1 ounce) of olive oil alone or the same amount of EGCG-enriched olive oil every day for four months. The olive oil given to both groups was high in polyphenols even without EGCG, and therefore was presumably extra-virgin rather than refined olive oil. People with the greatest blood vessel dysfunction improved the most. Otherwise, at the end of the study, the researchers found the same results in both groups: blood vessel function improved, levels of the blood cells involved in inflammation decreased, and there was no weight gain. Olive oil stands alone“Olive oil supplementation may be beneficial for most individuals and might theoretically reduce cardiovascular events,” the study’s authors said. However, since this was an uncontrolled study, the results do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between olive oil and improved heart health."

The word “fasting” is usually associated with liquid only diets or other strict ways of eating. This type of fasting however, is a bit more lenient and tasty. The Christian Greek Orthodox fasting practice is unique in that you can actually eat real food. While other religious fasting practices may promote an unbalanced way of eating, this fast has been studied and has specific health benefits. Research shows that individuals who follow a Greek Orthodox fast have a lower intake of saturated fat, total fat and calories and a higher intake of fiber, a combination that protects from heart disease and cancer. In addition, studies have shown the non-animal protein sources such as legumes and nuts are healthier than animal protein sources due to their fiber and antioxidant content, but also effective for weight loss due to their low fat content. Deficiencies are rare with this pattern of eating. A study by British and Greek researchers showed that individuals who were following a Greek Orthodox fast, actually had higher levels of iron intake compared to those who were not fasting."

But do the same benefits extend to vegetable oil? Not exactly. Vegetable oils are processed oils from various seeds like soybean, rapeseed (canola oil), sunflower, corn, cottonseed, and safflower. People have been encouraged to use vegetable oils for decades because they are a form of unsaturated fat. But the reality is—and a growing number of organizations are finally jumping on board—saturated fats are generally harmless and better for you. It’s a paradigm shift, which is why most nutritional organizations still maintain and recommend vegetable oils.

( 1)You’ll find it in fast food, restaurant food, and processed foods of all kinds sold in both mainstream supermarkets and health food stores. It’s widely touted as a healthy oil, but now there’s compelling evidence that canola oil is not the health food it’s been made out to be. The Origin of Canola Oil Ever wonder where canola oil comes from? After all, there is no such thing as a canola plant!Canola stands for “Canadian oil low acid” and the oil comes from a form of rapeseed ( Brassica napus) grown largely in Canada. Rapeseed is a relative of mustard and is a member of the same group of plants as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. The name change from rapeseed to canola was a PR move due to the bad connotation of the word rapeseed. So, at least here in the US, it’s called canola oil, but in much of the world it’s still known as rapeseed oil or rape oil. Canola Oil’s Unnatural Production Process Canola oil is sometimes compared to olive oil since they are both high in monounsaturated fats."

Start with a thin, whole-grain crust and choose from one of many topping combinations. When you find yourself ordering pizza from a restaurant, ask for something similar to your favorite homemade pizza to keep your meal as healthful as possible. Pizza Margherita Named for Margherita of Savoy, the Queen of Italy in the late 1800s, pizza Margherita is a fresh, light variation on the more common Neapolitan pizza. Its toppings traditionally include olive oil, tomato, mozzarella and basil. Don’t let the olive oil scare you off, as consuming olive oil can help lower your risk of heart disease because of its high content of monounsaturated fats."

"text": "\"Choosing Healthy Fats The Good, The Bad, and the Power of Omega-3s For years we’ve been told that eating fat will add inches to your waistline, raise cholesterol, and cause a myriad of health problems. But now we know that not all fat is the same. While bad fats can wreck your diet and increase your risk of certain diseases, good fats can protect your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fats—such as omega-3s—are vital to your physical and emotional health. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. What are dietary fats? Fat is a type of nutrient, and just like protein and carbohydrates, your body needs some fat for energy, to absorb vitamins, and to protect your heart and brain health. And despite what you may have been told, fat isn’t always the bad guy in the health and waistline wars. “ Bad” fats, such as artificial trans fats and saturated fats, are guilty of the unhealthy things all fats have been blamed for—weight gain, clogged arteries, and so forth. But “good” fats such as unsaturated fats and omega-3s have the opposite effect."

"text": "Olive oil is considered a heart-healthy fat because of its high monounsaturated fat content, making it a good choice when we need to use fat in our cooking or dressings. However, nearly all olive oil contains 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, even if the label describes it as light or extra light. Similarly, you'll find that all types of olive oil have about 120 calories per tablespoon. Healthy Benefits of Olive Oil Olive oil is also known as a healthy oil due to its presence of phenolic compounds, according to Nasir Malik of the U. S. Agriculture Department's Research Service. Scientifically, the polyphenols in olive oil are nutrients common in other beverages and ingredients like wine, tea, cocoa, fruits, and vegetables. These elements are known to decrease heart disease, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and reduce blood clots, and are thought to reduce cancer, lower inflammation, and more. There are endless oil choices, including vegetable, canola, walnut, sesame, coconut, avocado, and so on. Olive oil is one of the best ones for cooking due to its heat stability and flavor. It also contains monounsaturated fatty acids, which are healthy fats that assist with lowering risk of heart disease and bad cholesterol in the bloodstream. In comparison to regular olive oil, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has fewer chemicals and free radicals than regular olive oil, higher antioxidants, and plenty of good fats."

"text": "Health Diets & Recipes 8 Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet8 Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet1672 52 3982The history and tradition of the Mediterranean diet come from the historic eating and social patterns of the regions around southern Italy, Greece, Turkey and Spain. Not only is the Mediterranean diet a tasty way to eat, drink and live, but it’s also a realistic and sustainable way to reduce disease-causing inflammation and lose weight, too (or maintain a healthy weight). The Mediterranean diet has long been one of the healthiest diets known to man. But it’s not just a diet or even a way of eating … it’s really a way of life. Because for thousands of years people living along the Mediterranean coast have indulged in a high-fiber diet of fruits and vegetables, also including quality fats and proteins and sometimes a glass of locally made wine to complete a meal, too. Meanwhile, this diet has gotten a reputation for disease prevention and even “enjoyable” weight manageable. Starting in Italy thousands of years ago and spreading to Greece, Spain and other areas around the Mediterranean, this diet is now successful all over the world for promoting health and longevity. While it’s always existed, even before books and studies were dedicated to it, the diet really began to take hold around the world in the 1990s, when a Harvard University doctor showcased it as a diet useful for improving heart health, losing weight fast and easily and clearing up other health issues. What Are the Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet? Considered by many nutrition experts to be one of the most heart-healthy ways of eating there is, the base of the Mediterranean diet is loaded with anti-inflammatory foods and built upon plant-based foods and healthy fats."

Native to Greece, Kalamata olives can be eaten plain or chopped up to be used in a dish. Made from fully ripe olives, Kalamata olives are marinated in olive oil or vinegar and are widely available in grocery stores. While Kalamata olives are high in sodium, they are also rich in healthy fats and contain a natural antioxidant. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load General Nutrition Kalamata olives are generally found canned, although specialty grocers may sell them directly from the barrel. A 4-tablespoon serving of Kalamata olives, roughly 8 large olives or 10 small ones, has 39 calories per serving, negligible amounts of protein, 3.6 grams of total fat and 1.1 grams of dietary fiber. Like other olives, Kalamatas are a good source of calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K, given its small serving size. Kalamata olives also provide some magnesium, phosphorous and potassium per serving as well as B vitamins. Rich in Monounsaturated Fat While Kalamata olives are high in fat considering their serving size, the majority of their fat is monounsaturated, also known as a “healthy” fat.

Green olives and pimentos contain chemicals similar to those found in catnip, so some cats may be especially excited by olives. Continue Reading Keep Learning Why do cats love olives? What are some things to consider before buying a Scottish Fold kitten? I think my cat has a cold; how can I tell for sure? Full Answer Green olives and pimentos contain isoprenoids, which are similar to nepetalactone, which is found in catnip. Black olives do not contain the same compounds. As with the effects of catnip, some cats may become excited when given green olives or pimentos, while others are not at all affected. Adding olives to the diet may have minimal nutritional benefit, because olives contain unsaturated fats, but can cause diarrhea in some cats."

They are a low maintenance plant once you understand their needs, and come in many different leaf shapes, textures and coloring. They are easy to grow in most parts of the country, you just need to know these little tricks of the trade. Hosta Facts Hostas need sun. Thats right, for all of you who planted hostas under the deep shade of a huge elm, and wondered why they didnt thrive, the truth is, they are sun lovers. The problem is, they sun burn! But they are shade tolerant. The trick is to provide the hostas with a few hours of morning sun, or dappled sun throughout the day. With the proper lighting, hostas grow larger and have more vibrant coloring."

"text": "The first thing to do if your cat is suffering an acute bout of constipation is to contact the vet. An acute bout of constipation can occur in a previously healthy cat or a cat with chronic constipation can experience an acute bout. In a multi-cat household, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which cat is producing which stool or who is not pooping. One way to sort things out is to feed each cat, in turn, a small amount of baby food beets. Be forewarned that beets may also color the urine, a harmless effect, and that will probably occur more quickly than the beets coloring the stool. Wait a couple of days before giving the beets to the next cat so you are sure whose results are whose. There are a variety of laxatives on the market. Few of them are suitable for cats. Cats are quirky and sensitive creatures and can all too easily be poisoned by some OTC human treatments. T he dailiness of chronic constipation means the treatment needs not only to be effective but very safe over the long term."

Care & Wellness, Medications\"\"IMPORTANT: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is very dangerous to dogs and cats. \"\" Acetaminophen (Tylenol®, Paracetamol, APAP, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol) is a pain relief and fever-reducing medicine people use for many types of pain. It’s a popular over-the-counter oral medication used alone or in “combination” medications for headaches, pain, colds, flu and menstrual discomfort. It’s often combined with other drugs including aspirin, opioids, antihistamines, decongestants and caffeine. Acetaminophen comes in tablets, capsules, gel caps, melt away forms, rectal suppositories and liquid forms — all which can be easily digested by curious critters. And because you can find acetaminophen in just about any household with dogs and cats, unfortunately pets are sometimes too easily exposed to accidental poisoning. Why is Acetaminophen (Tylenol) toxic or poisonous for dogs and cats? While acetaminophen is generally safe at the recommended dose for humans…For dogs and cats, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is toxic (poisonous or deadly)!Relatively small doses (a single pill or even a small piece of a pill) can be toxic or deadly to any animal species (cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, pigs, primates, and many others).

I've been suffering from UC since 2006, and after many years of exhaustive personal research, I am closing on the cause of my colitis. Without entering into heavy detail or citing all the research I've read, I believe my colitis was caused by a two fold combination of an initial bacterial invasion (traveler's diarrhea), followed a few months later by a period of extreme stress that dropped my immune system's ability to keep what is evidently a persistent infection in check. What I would like to know from all members reading this post who have UC (UC specifically, not Crohn's), is how many of you experienced a case of infectious diarrhea (i.e. you ate something bad, like sushi) before you came down with UC symptoms, and whether the onset of symptoms followed a period of significant stress. Understanding the cause of our disease, though it is likely different for everyone, is the first critical step in treating in effectively. I look forward to hearing from you all.

S. are organized as “mutual companies.” A mutual company is one that is owned — and sometimes governed — by its members instead of being owned by public or private shareholders. In the case of a mutual savings bank or a mutual savings association, the members are the financial institution’s depositors. In the case of a mutual insurance company, the members are the insurance company’s policyholders. Over the past two decades, a number of mutual companies have converted to a stock form of ownership — either to raise money, to expand operations, to enhance employee benefit options, or for some combination of these or other reasons. A host of federal and state banking laws govern “mutual-to-stock” conversions of banks and savings associations, including the rights — and responsibilities — of depositors. Similarly, state insurance laws govern insurance company conversions. This alert briefly describes how mutual-to-stock conversions work in the context of banks and savings associations and provides tips for investors who participate in these transactions. While some of the concepts described in this alert apply generally to insurance company conversions, insurance regulation rests exclusively in the hands of the state governments. Always read the prospectus for any conversion carefully, and contact your state insurance regulator if you have questions or concerns regarding an insurance company conversion."

"text": "Can Dogs Eat Bananas or Other ‘Human’ Foods? Can dogs eat bananas, peanut butter, grapes, or other kinds of human food? That question is asked more often than you might think. Some people only feed their pets dog food. That would seem to make a great deal of sense since most commercial dog foods have, or claim to have, all the nutritional elements every dog normally needs. The First Mistake Pet Owners Sometimes Make One problem that often arises is that many people, too many in fact, are of the opinion that their dogs must find it quite boring to have to eat the same food day in or day out – whether that food comes in a can or from a bag, especially the dry dog food that comes in a bag. Feeling sorry for their pet, they eventually begin to mix a little canned food in the dry stuff to liven things up. That usually does no harm, and a dog that has been on a steady diet of kibbles almost always seems to enjoy the change. A potential problem that can arise, and often does, is that your pooch may eventually start ignoring the dry food while happily eating only the canned food, except for those times when it is really hungry. Having to purchase two types of dog food, one dry and one canned, also adds to your grocery bill."

Answer by Zer0nix Confidence votes 116It can; garlic, and its cousins the leek and onion, are high in inulin, a pro-biotic soluble fiber in the form of a fructose polymer that is indigestible by the human starch enzymes amylase and ptyalin; it passes straight through the human digestive system, unless digested by something else along the way. if it is digested by bacteria in the colon, gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen may be produced as a result. many cultures that ingest large quantities of onion, leek and garlic report that these spices cause gas. it is possible that their unique gut bacteria cultures are digesting the inulin that human digestive enzymes leave behind, promoting their growth and causing gas as a byproduct. it's worth noting that garlic, leek and onion are widely considered to be beneficial herbs that stimulate good health in the cultures where they are widely used. one hypothesis is, this is because their high inulin content stimulates probiotic growth.8 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Considered as lethal or toxic dose is when 12 gms (12000 mg) or more is taken at once. That would be 24 tablets of acetaminophen (500 mg each) or more. With 3250 mg of acetaminophen from 10 pills or capsules, nothing serious will happen. Possibly it can result to some degree of liver impairment and nothing much.

The availability of medical or surgical care may be a factor in many regions; country-specific legislation also plays a part. The definitions used here are those in current usage by cat breeders and veterinarians. Researchers working independently of each other may use different terms for what is later found to be the same syndrome or anomaly and have slightly different descriptions. The list of genetic anomalies continues to grow with better reporting and better genetic screening. CATEGORYSUB-DIVISIONLETHALClassical Lethal: kittens die in utero or are reabsorbed Teratological lethal: kittens are stillborn or die shortly after birth (major birth defects; \"\"teratological\"\" means \"\"monster-like\"\") Deferred lethal (sub-lethal, semi-lethal): lethal if the kitten inherits 2 copies of the mutated gene, impairing or not evident if only 1 copy is inherited (e.g. Manx mutation, polycystic kidney disease [PKD])IMPAIRINGNon-lethal, non-cosmetic, but difficult or impossible to control with medicine or surgery at the current state of knowledge. Non-lethal, non-cosmetic, but requires surgery to give cat good quality of life (e.g. mild cleft palate) Non-lethal, non-cosmetic, but requires long-term or lifelong medical treatment COSMETICCosmetic with medical or physical repercussions Cosmetic, but cat can live healthy life without surgery or medical treatment, but with some limitations e.g. indoor only Cosmetic with no known medical or physical repercussions In genetics-speak, mutations are often referred to as \"\"defects\"\" as they are different from normal. Since one person's defect is another person's breed trait, the term \"\"anomaly\"\" is preferred by breeders. Genetic anomalies are most often noted in purebreds for several reasons: Purebreds have pedigrees maintained over 3 or more generations making familial links easier to identify; some breeds are based on genetic anomalies."

A: Quick Answer There are multiple methods that can be used to repel raccoons, including using commercial pest repellent granules and sprays and sprinkling mothballs or cayenne pepper around the property. Motion-activated lights and sprinklers designed to scare raccoons and other pests away can also be used. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Spices Can Be Used As a Repellent for Raccoons? What are some home remedies to get rid of raccoons? What are good squirrel deterrents for your yard? Credit: lovecatz CC-BY-SA 2.0Full Answer Electric fences may also help to keep raccoons away, but it usually takes two wires, one that's about 5 inches above the ground and another that's approximately 12 inches above ground. It is also possible to make a pest repellent spray by boiling one jalapeño pepper, one white onion and 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper in 2 quarts of water. This mixture can be sprayed around the property to keep raccoons and other pests away, and it only lasts for a few days before respraying is necessary. Loud noises or human voices can also scare raccoons away, which is why some people recommend leaving a radio on outside tuned to a talk show station."

Cats do not have this enzyme and if given acetaminophens (Tylenol, etc.) red blood cells will be damaged causing methemoglobinemia, which is a blood condition that can kill the cat. Reach for aspirin instead? USE EXTREME CARE if treating a cat. Again, dogs and humans can handle aspirin on a daily basis, but cats must wait 72 hours between treatments or the drug will build up in the system and becomes lethal to the cat. Pets can tolerate mild fevers and normally drug intervention is not required. Fever is nature's way of warming the body to increase the activity of helpful enzymes and proteins to treat infection. Fever is also indicative that there could be an underlying problem which may require Veterinary care."

I have heard that vets sometimes approve 1/4 baby aspirin every three days. I hardly think that would help a cat much and it WILL damage the liver if given over any length of time.

PARTLY TRUEExample: [Collected via e-mail, May 2003]Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman’s Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called “Theobromine”. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of caution — check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens. Theobromine is the ingredient that is used to make all chocolate — especially dark or baker’s chocolate — which is toxic to dogs.

As always, we must remember that what is great and tasty for us can be extremely harmful for our pets. Onions contain an ingredient called thiosulphate which is toxic to cats and dogs. The ingestion of onions causes a condition called hemolytic anemia, which is characterized by damage to the red blood cells. Onion toxicity can cause the red blood cells circulating through your pet’s body to burst. Symptoms of this condition include breathlessness, lethargy, diarrhea and vomiting.

"text": "By Amanda Baltazar Congratulations on bringing a new kitten home. Still, you may be a bit nervous. After all, there are some illnesses that are common to new pets — especially kittens. Below are six common illnesses to look out for. Just remember that your kitten is less likely to contract one if you feed her a healthy diet. Good food will help her immune system develop in early days.1. Upper Respiratory Infections Upper respiratory infections, like feline calicivirus and feline herpes virus, are “kitten killers, especially if the cats are just a few weeks old,” says Dr. Tony Johnson, DVM, DACVECC, clinical assistant professor, emergency and critical care, Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine West Lafayette, Ind. Upper respiratory infections in cats are typically caused by bacteria or viruses, which are passed along when other cats sneeze or exhale. Symptoms: Sneezing is the main symptom of upper respiratory infections in cats, though sometimes kittens will develop a yellowy goopy discharge from their eyes and a runny nose. If your kitten is having trouble breathing or refuses to eat, the situation is more serious. Treatment: Take your kitten to your veterinarian. “"

"text": "Common Cat Poisons There are many ways that cats can get poisoned by ingesting things commonly found around the home. You can find additional information on Human Foods to Avoid for Cats and Toxic Plants for Cats. Medications Aspirin: The doses recommended in cats for relief of pain and fever is 10mg/kg every 48 hours. The toxic dose is 80 to 120 mg/kg for 10-12 days. The signs of aspirin toxicity in cats are dose-dependant and may include anorexia, vomiting, gastric haemorrhage, anaemia and hyperthermia. Paracetamol: Cats are extremely sensitive to paracetamol toxicity. The feline toxic dose is 50 to 100 mg/kg. One regular strength tablet may be toxic to a cat, and a second ingested 24 hours later may be lethal. The signs of toxicity are brown gums, difficulty breathing, blood in the urine, jaundice and swelling. Ibuprofen: The toxic effect of ibuprofen depends on the dose, the number of doses ingested and age of the cat."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality Why can't hindus eat pork?i know that they don't eat cows because it is sacred but why don't they eat pork ( but they eat chicken,fish etc )Follow 19 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Prohibitions against pork in religions are generally linked to the fact that it is a meat that goes off easily and can carry lethal bacteria. For example, many modern Jews will eat pork, considering it an outmoded part of the scriptures. Some hindus also adopt a vegetarian diet to protect life and get closer to god, it's the lines on ascetism in the Bagavad Gita, Krishna's gospel. That's a blanket meat ban though... I'll just check wiki, back in a moment... Well, I was quite surprised to find nothing in Wikipedia about a ban on Pork, but here's a lovely web page concering the Hindu diet- it also doesn't mention pork, but it does touch on the Hindu vegetarianism I mentioned. http://www.oldandsold.com/books/hindu/hi... Don't forget there are lots of different schools to Hinduism, and the bans of one may not apply to another... the article also notes that, classicly, the poor of India are not as bound by dietary bans as the higher layers of society are... anyway, if you heard of Hindus who didn't eat pork but did eat chicken etc, it may be that it only applies to one of the sects as opposed to the religion as a whole. Buzzard · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Can Hindu Eat Pork Source (s):https://owly.im/a9r Oj? · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The real reason for not eating pork is that most butchers in India are muslims (even though population is mainly hindu) and they don't serve pork which makes it less readily available (very rare). As people are not used to it, they tend to avoid it. Also in recent years, bacon has been made out to be unhealthy food so they also tend to take pride in avoiding it even though the real reason is it not being readily available in their country,? · 3 years ago0 0 Comment They can eat pork!"

From tracking to practice sessions to live monitoring – even to mixing – you need at least one great-sounding pair of 'cans' to offer a new perspective on the music you make. But choosing a pair can be tricky, depending on the intended application and what your level of physical comfort with different styles is. Let's look at different types, one by one. In-ear phones, sometimes called \"\"earbuds\"\" or \"\"earphones\"\" are the smallest, lightest and least conspicuous choice. They're definitely the best choice for onstage wireless monitoring and some of the available fit options make for superb isolation. The seal with your ear can make for exaggerated frequency response, so in-ears wouldn't normally be the first choice for mixing or any sort of reference-quality listening. Some people have issues with comfort for long sessions, and some just don't like sticking something in their ear. On-ear, or \"\"supra-aural,\"\" phones rest, as should be obvious, on your ear. They don't offer quite the isolation of either of the other two types of phones, so they're a great choice when you need to be more aware of what's going on around you."

Nabi Headphones It’s back-to-school time, and one thing that’s struck me over the past few years is how our kids’ school-supply lists have changed. Sure, they still include pencils, crayons, and markers—though not as many as before—as well as requests for tissues, hand sanitizer, and other classroom sundries. But these days, our lists also include headphones. Every student is expected to bring his or her own headphones. This isn’t too surprising, as more and more schools are using i Pads and laptops as part of the curriculum, and teachers want students to be able to hear lessons and work on projects without disturbing each other. Still, it’s telling that headphones are in, and binder paper is largely out. But after volunteering in my kids’ classrooms over the past three years, I can tell you that when it comes to children, not all headphones are created equal. The best headphones for adults are rarely the best models for kids, for a number of reasons: [ Further reading: The best Bluetooth speakers ]Style and fit: Earbuds and in-ear headphones are likely the most popular types of headphones, but they aren’t always the best for kids. For starters, in-ear models often don’t fit kids’ smaller ears. And even if you can find in-ear headphones specifically designed for a child, they can be difficult to put in and take out, and they can hamper your son or daughter’s ability to hear teachers or classroom volunteers."

"text": "\"Solved Closed Computer Freezes With Audio Loop/Stutter Requires Hard Restart Alcad Jul 8, 2013, 5:39 PMSo recently I've been this problem with my computer. It's always at a random time, it doesn't necessarily seem to have a specific pattern, but it always seems to happen when I'm either playing a game, listening to music, or watching a video. It could be connected, or it could happen at random, I'm not sure. Basically the computer completely locks up, freezes entirely, and the sound loops/stutters on the last sound that was being played endlessly. It NEVER crashes, and I do not ever receive a BSOD. I have tested, waiting over 15 minutes for it to do anything, it simply sits there and remains locked up and frozen until I hard restart my computer. I have absolutely no idea what's causing this, as I've never had an issue with my computer like this, especially something that doesn't produce atleast an error or BSOD of some kind, so it's rather puzzling.21 answers Last reply Jul 23, 2015 Best Answer Aug 26, 2013More about computer freezes audio loop stutter requires hard restartsmorizio Jul 8, 2013, 5:45 PMStart With memtest to rule out a bad stick of ram. If your CPU or gpu are overclocked try running them at stock speeds. Check that your CPU heat sink on tight and the temps are fine. The last issue would be a power supply not holding to atx spec or ac ripple getting into the pc."

"text": "The Best Headphones for Mixing and Mastering in the Studio Last Updated: January 11, 2018 By Sean Mixing music is an art, and to fully capture the truest form of your sounds, you need a proper pair of headphones to do so. Not just any pair of studio headphones will do, either. We’ve seen the headphone market become saturated with popular brands and their celebrity marketing, claiming to be ‘studio’, ‘professional’ or any other adjective you can think of that will get a person to buy a pair of their headphones. Those of us who are truly into music equipment know that when it comes to being an audiophile, the overall headphone type and design and various other features you need depends on what exactly you’re using the pair cans of for. Riding in the bus or using these at the gym isn’t really the main concern here, although you can technically use any pair of headphones for that. Today we review the best headphones specifically for mixing and mastering. As perhaps you’ve already read it, we have some of these models listed in our best studio headphones article. However, that post is a bit broad covering all types of headphones, so in this case we will be specifically speaking about mixing and mastering for complete sound accuracy. You need a certain type of build for even frequency distribution as opposed to perhaps total isolation (like a lot of popular studio headphones do) when it comes to recording. Let’s see what exact kind you need below."

As a high-quality option for replacing the cheap headphones included with portable music and media players, the selection of canalphones has, over the past decade, evolved from a few expensive models to a wide-open market with dozens of choices across a wide price range. Still, it’s fair to say that most people aren’t familiar with in-ear-canal headphones, which differ considerably from traditional headphones in terms of fit, sound quality, and use. We’ve put together this primer to help you understand what makes canalphones unique and why you may (or may not) want to give them a try. What are in-ear-canal headphones? Unlike standard headphones, which use relatively large drivers (speakers) and fit on top of or around your ears, or earbuds, which use fairly small drivers and sit loosely in your outer ears, in-ear-canal headphones use very small drivers and actually fit inside your ear canals (thus the name canalphones ). In fact, using either rubber eartips in various sizes, or foam eartips that expand to fit any size ear canal, canalphones are designed to seal your ear canals closed, blocking external noise—much like a pair of earplugs. In fact, many canalphones look and fit just like earplugs. Some of the companies that sell true in-ear-canal headphones include Altec Lansing, Etymotic, Future Sonics, Shure, Ultimate Ears, and Xtreme Mac. Prices range from $100 to $900."

And is it worth having them be wireless if the batteries are just going to die on you at an inopportune time? Well, we've come a long way from the early days of Bluetooth cans. They no longer drain their batteries after just a few hours of use, and it's actually really convenient to wander around the house listening to music without needing to carry around an i Pod (or these days, an i Phone). I've changed my mind on Bluetooth headphones. They're really, really nice. Earlier this year, Apple's newly acquired Beats division released their Beats Solo2 headphones.

It is easy to tuck into a backpack or suit case, but its size does not take away from its superb sound quality. This speaker has a very simple and elegant pod-like design, which expands to create a much fuller sound. This small speaker does not lack sound quality. Bass is great for this size of a speaker and treble is powerful. I have tested a wide variety of music genres and all of them sound crisp and clear for personal enjoyment. The price is VERY fair for such a nice, convenient, little speaker. I would feel comfortable buying this as a gift, or recommending it to fellow consumers.

"text": "Home / Earbuds • Headphones / Most Comfortable Headphones 2018: Forget That You Are Wearing Them Most Comfortable Headphones 2018: Forget That You Are Wearing Them Headphones come in a variety of shapes and styles but the one thing they should all have in common is comfort. We may all have different ideas about what is comfortable but we can all agree that the most comfortable headphones are the ones that we can nearly forget we are wearing. Traditional headphones sometimes have an ill-fitting headband and annoying earcups. The headband is either too tight and gives you a headache, or it’s so loose that the headphones shift every time you move. The earcups hardly fit on your ears the way they’re supposed to causing most of your music to seem to float away. And if you’re lucky enough to find some that fit, then you find out the material makes your ears all sweaty. Earbud style headphones can be no less bothersome. If the eartips are too big then they pinch but if they’re too small then they fall out of your ears. And depending on the shape of the eartips- there are several- they may rotate in your ears. Eventually you wind up settling for whatever pair of headphones doesn’t drive you crazy; even if you don’t like the way they look or sound."

"text": "Time Required:20 minutes Learning Outcomes To have an understanding of the main opioids used in the management of acute pain To know the principle side effects associated with taking opioids To understand opioids mechanism of action To recognise the use of naloxone and its role Opioids The first source of opiates was opium which is obtained from the unripe seed capsule of the poppy ( Papaver somniferum) which yields a milky juice. Although morphine is still obtained from natural sources, there are now many chemical substances available with similar analgesic, sedative and mood-elevating effects. Most are synthetic although some are derived from morphine (codeine is methylmorphine and diamorphine is diacetylmorphine). The naturally occurring substances tend to be called opiates, and the synthetic agents opioids. Mechanism of action Endogenous opioids are substances that are naturally occurring in the body and help modulate the pain experience. Opioids work by binding to receptors found in the brain, spinal cord and other nervous tissue which are normally activated by endogenous enkephalins and endorphins. There is considerable debate over the nature of these, but there is general acceptance of the presence of μ, κ and δ receptors (pronounced mu, kappa and delta), and there may be subtypes of each category pcc1032. It has been suggested that μ receptors are responsible at supraspinal sites for analgesia, sedation and respiratory depression. κ receptors have been associated with analgesia produced at spinal sites. Some opioids (e.g. pentazocine) can produce disturbing effects including dysphoria, hypertonia, tachycardia, tachypnoea and mydriasis perhaps mediated by another opioid σ (sigma) receptor."

"text": "\"Information on Drugs of Abuse and Addiction Addiction For information on what is addiction, please click here. Drugs of Abuse More information coming soon.top On this page, we provide a brief and introductory description of drugs and their effects according to the following 6-part classification system (Inaba and Cohen, 1993): Opiates and Opioids Sedative-Hypnotics Stimulants Hallucinogens Marijuana or Cannabis Inhalants Visitors should bear in mind that drug effects are not as simple to understand as might first appear from a brief description. Every drug's biochemical effect interacts with a person's psychological expectations for using the drug and the social setting within which the use occurs. For example, alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. However, alcohol use can be stimulating, quieting, or consciousness altering, depending upon the dose and the social setting within which alcohol is used. Opiates (including opioids), sedatives, and most inhalants are \"\"downers.\"\" Stimulants are \"\"uppers.\"\" Marijuana and hallucinogens are best thought of as \"\"all-arounders\"\" because of their mixed effects. The following brief descriptions of these drug classes provide an introduction to the most common psychoactive drugs of abuse. Opiates & Opioids The term opioid refers to natural and synthetic substances with morphine-like activity."

"text": "Opiates/Opioids Overdose Causes of Opiate Overdose Most people think that only addicts can overdose on opiates or opioids. It is true that most people who are addicted (they take the drug because of the way it makes them feel) do suffer the most overdoses. But anyone taking them can suffer opiate or opioid overdose, especially when: They take more than was prescribed by the doctor They combine opiates or opioids with other Central Nervous System depressants such as alcohol They have an unknown condition that makes them more sensitive to overdose. Additional overdose information People who are not addicted but are “dependent” (if they quit taking the opiate or opioid they have very unpleasant withdrawal symptoms) are also suffering these overdoses and sometimes with fatal consequences. This is particularly true of methadone users as explained in Methadone — Addiction and Pain, but it is also true of people taking other opioids. These dependent people were prescribed opioid drugs for pain and are going to emergency rooms in increasing numbers because they have overdosed. They may be experiencing the effects explained in Opioids Increasing Pain. They feel more pain and just keep taking more opioids or they chew the Oxy Contin pill and release all of the oxycodone, the active ingredient, and this puts them into an overdose. Respiratory depression As explained above, opiates and opioids do create a slowing of your respiration, your breathing, and if it slows too much it creates severe respiratory depression. In order to survive, each of us must be able to breathe oxygen."

"text": "Content Overview What Are Some Drug Withdrawal Symptoms? The symptoms of drug withdrawal, and the length of that withdrawal, vary depending on the drug of abuse and the length of the addiction. These are a few withdrawal symptoms and timelines for major targets of abuse: Heroin and prescription painkillers: flu-like symptoms lasting 24-48 hours Benzodiazepines: anxiety and/or seizures lasting weeks or (in some cases) months Cocaine: depression and restlessness lasting 7-10 days Alcohol: tremors and/or seizures lasting three days to several weeks Find Fast Heroin and Opiates Benzodiazepines Cocaine Alcohol When Is It Necessary Use of Medications In 2011, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) published that almost 25 million Americans over the age of 12, approaching 10 percent of this section of the population, had used an illicit drug in the month prior to the survey, classifying them as current drug users. Addictive drugs and alcohol make changes to the way the brain processes emotions and regulates mood. Many of these changes create a flood of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which create an artificial feeling of pleasure, or a “high. ”Continued abuse of drugs or alcohol interferes with the motivation and reward chemistry and circuitry, resulting in drug cravings and dependence. Once a dependence on a substance has formed, withdrawal symptoms will start when the substance is then removed. Different drugs and substances will have different withdrawal symptoms and timelines, depending on how they interact with the brain and bodily functions. Drugs are absorbed and remain active in the body for differing amounts of time. This is often referred to as the drug’s “half-life,”which relates to the different withdrawal timelines for each substance."

Management of Sedation Uncommon Adverse Effects Dysphoria/Delirium Pruritus/Urticaria Common Myths About Respiratory Depression with Opioid Use Management of Respiratory Depression Nonpharmacologic Pain Management Techniques Barriers to Effective Pain Management Opioid Adverse Effects Opioids have many possible adverse effects; some are common, some not Addiction (psychological dependence), tolerance, and physical dependence are not considered among the adverse effects The ethical considerations of \"\"double effect\"\" and unintended consequences of opioids and other medications is discussed in Module 10: Common Physical Symptoms Adverse effects should also be distinguished from opioid allergy Many people believe that opioid-induced nausea/vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, or even confusion is an allergic reaction However, these are not allergic reactions; they are adverse effects While one or more may present on initial dosing, adverse effects can be easily managed and patients generally develop pharmacologic tolerance to all but constipation within a relatively brief period Anaphylactic or true allergic reactions to opioids are rare Urticaria and bronchospasm could be direct opioid effects or signs of allergy Sudden onset of breathlessness or other signs of anaphylaxis should be taken very seriously, and the offending opioid replaced with another from a different class^top Common Adverse Effects Constipation Dry Mouth Nausea/Vomiting Sedation Sweats Constipation Constipation secondary to opioid administration is almost universal It is primarily the result of opioid effects on the CNS, spinal cord, and myenteric plexus of gut that, in turn: Reduce gut motor activity Increase stool transit time The colon has more time to desiccate its contents, leaving large hard stools that are difficult to pass Other factors that may make the problem worse include: Dehydration Poor food intake Other medications Prevention and management of opioid-related constipation Tolerance to constipation may develop very slowly, if at all It requires anticipatory and ongoing management Dietary interventions alone (e.g., increase fluid and fiber) are often insufficient Bulk-forming agents (e.g., psyllium)Require substantial fluid intake Not recommended for those with advanced disease and poor mobility To counteract the slowing effect of opioids: Start by prescribing a routine stimulant laxative (e.g., senna, bisacodyl, glycerine, casanthranol, etc)Escalate the dose to effect While stool softeners (e.g., docusate sodium) are not usually effective by themselves, combination stimulant/softeners (e.g., senna + docusate sodium or calcium) can be useful Prokinetic agents (e.g., metoclopramide, cisapride, etc) may also significantly counteract the opioid effect If constipation persists, some patients will benefit from the addition of an osmotic agent, such as milk of magnesia, lactulose, or sorbitol, to increase the stool’s moisture content If the constipation proves to be refractory to basic therapy, interventions that are more aggressive may be necessary (see Module 10: Common Physical Symptoms)^top Nausea, Vomiting Many patients starting opioids experience nausea with or without vomiting Young women seem to be most at risk These symptoms: Are easily anticipated and treated with antiemetics Usually disappear as tolerance develops within a few days Dopamine-blocking agents are most often effectiveprochlorperazine 10 mg before opioid and q 6hhaloperidol 1 mg before opioid and q 6hmetoclopramide 10 mg before opioid and q 6h In refractory cases, a more aggressive approach or an alternative opioid may become necessary (see Module 10: Common Physical Symptoms)^top Typical Course and Resolution of Sedation Patients sometimes complain of feeling sedated or mentally clouded immediately after beginning an opioid analgesic Care must be taken to distinguish between: True sedation (inability to fully wake up)Exhaustion due to previous sleep deprivation with the unrelieved pain (sleeps a lot, but is able to fully wake up in between)Opioid-induced sedation usually disappears over a few days as tolerance develops Most patients also catch up on their lost sleep over a week or two^top Sedation in Patients with Advanced Illness For patients with very advanced disease, mental clouding and excessive somnolence are often issues This is particularly true when patients have multiple concomitant medical conditions, medications, and declining function, even in the absence of opioid analgesics Pain may, in fact, be the primary stimulant keeping them alert Once pain is managed, the patient’s \"\"natural\"\" level of sedation may become apparent^top Management of Sedation If sedation occurs: Encourage patients and families to clearly articulate their goals (see Module 7: Goals of Care)Develop a pain management plan that balances alertness and pain control to suit the individual Some patients may prefer to be sleepy and comfortable Others may prefer to be alert and in pain If undesired sedation persists: A different opioid or an alternate route of administration may provide relief Also, consider the use of a psychostimulant (e.g., methylphenidate 5 mg q am and q noon and titrate), particularly if the opioid is providing effective analgesia^top Uncommon Adverse Effects Bad Dreams/Hallucinations Dysphoria/Delirium Myoclonus/Seizures Pruritus/Urticaria Respiratory Depression Urinary Retention Dysphoria/Delirium Delirium due to opioid excess may be suggested with the onset of: Confusion Bad dreams Hallucinations Restlessness Agitation Myoclonic jerks Significantly depressed level of consciousness Seizures Opioid-induced delirium rarely occurs when: Opioid dosing guidelines are followed closely Patients have normal renal clearance However, one or more of these adverse effects may present: Gradually, in the patient who is not passing much urine and is accumulating opioid due to decreased intake or dehydration Rapidly, in the patient who is developing sepsis For more information, see Module 6: Depression, Anxiety, Delirium^top Pruritus/Urticaria In some patients, opioids produce urticaria or pruritus These effects are the result of mast cell destabilization by the opioid and subsequent histamine release Usually the rash and pruritus can be managed by routine administration of long-acting, nonsedating antihistamines while opioid dosing continuesfexofenadine 60 mg po biddiphenhydramine, loratadine, or doxepin 10-30 mg po qhs^top Common Myths about the Respiratory Depression with Opioid Use Myth #1: The risk of respiratory depression when using opioids to relieve pain is high The Facts: The inappropriate application of animal and human models from acute pain research is in part responsible for this common fear Pain is a potent stimulus to breathe Pharmacologic tolerance to respiratory depression develops quickly Opioid effects are quite different from those experienced by a patient who is not in pain and receives similar doses Myth #2: As doses increase, respiratory depression can occur suddenly in the absence of overdose The Facts: Somnolence always precedes respiratory depression Adequate ongoing assessment and appropriate titration of opioids based on pharmacological principles will prevent misadventures Patient-controlled analgesia with an appropriate dosing interval (10-15 minutes if iv, 30 minutes if sc) can be used safely, because the patient who takes too many extra doses of opioid will fall asleep and stop pushing the button before respiratory depression occurs^top Management of Respiratory Depression If respirations are compromised (< 6/minute), naloxone may be necessary if it is the goal of care to keep the patient alert while treating the underlying cause Dilute 0.4 mg of naloxone to 10 m L with sterile water Administer 0.1 to 0.2 mg IV q 1 to 2 min until the patient is alert As the effective plasma half-life is short (10 to 15 min) due to naloxone’s high affinity for lipids, monitor the patient closely every few minutes for recurrent drowsiness If drowsiness recurs, repeat dosing as required until the patient is no longer compromised If delirium due to opioid excess does occur, but respirations are not compromised (> 6/minute): Routine opioids may be stopped Treat the underlying cause of the adverse effects until they abate: Ensure appropriate hydration Manage sepsis^top Nonpharmacologic Pain Management Techniques While pharmacologic approaches may be the mainstay of pain management, physicians should consider all available therapies as they develop an individual’s plan of care Many patients have realized significant relief through: Neurostimulatory techniques TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)acupuncture Physical therapytherapeutic exercisesheat and cold Psychological approachescognitive therapiesrelaxation, imagery, hypnosisbiofeedbackbehavior therapypsychotherapy Art or music therapy Massage, body work, etc Members of the interdisciplinary team, who may be more familiar with nonpharmacologic interventions, can frequently assist the physician to identify and refer patients appropriately^top Barriers to Effective Pain Management Today, pain management remains inadequate in spite of the fact that we have possessed information discussed in this module for over 20 years While this inadequacy may reflect inadequate knowledge, it also reflects barriers to pain relief that are pervasive and (in some cases) institutional To become effective, we need to overcome real or perceived barriers, including: Beliefs by physicians and other professionals that pain management is not important Poor assessment techniques Inadequate dissemination of the available knowledge Unfounded fear of addiction, tolerance, and adverse effects Inappropriate regulatory oversight To be effective, individual"

Tolerance and dependence will develop with continuous use, requiring increasing doses and leading to a withdrawal syndrome upon abrupt discontinuation. The euphoria attracts recreational use, and frequent, escalating recreational use of opioids typically results in addiction.

Despite these inherent health hazards, there is a growing trend among heroin users to mix heroin with other potentially dangerous substances – which only increases one's potential for overdose and death. 1Danger of death, by Stephane Gaudry, Flickr: Pandora's jar [CC BY 2.0 ]. Some people intentionally use heroin in combination with another substance, while others mix drugs accidentally without even knowing it. Unfortunately, this accidental mixing is quite common, as heroin addicts often do not know the purity of the substance they are purchasing. Even when purchasing from a known dealer, eachbatch has potential to contain a combination of heroin and other dangerous additive substances. 2 Those who combine heroin with other substances purposefully often do so as a way to enhance the heroin high. 2,3 The drug is often combined with cocaine, alcohol or even other opioid painkillers for recreational purposes."

It is made by seperating THC-bearing sap (resin) ans “crystals” from coarser plant fibers, so that you are left with the essence of marijuana. This condensed product is several times denser and more powerful than the marijuana would be if it were simply cured and smoked. Hash at its most basic is a pastelike substance that varies in pliability. As a small grower you may not want to take the time’s and effort to make your own hasish. Nevertheless it’s a topic that’s bound to come up at some point. The topics below are not instructional so much as it is informational. Knowing the basics of hasish will help you decide if it’s something you may one day want to pursue as you progress as a grower. Laced Hash“Commercial” black hash often contains opium—something to be aware of before you find yourself waking up in a strange place. A flood of opium from Afghanistan in recent years (I can’t help but see images of Air America in Vietnam) has found its way into hash sold on the street, sometimes in ratios as high as 50 percent."

The Sumerians referred to it as Hul Gil, the \"\"joy plant.\"\" The Sumerians soon passed it on to the Assyrians, who in turn passed it on to the Egyptians. As people learned of the power of opium, demand for it increased. Many countries began to grow and process opium to expand its availability and to decrease its cost. Its cultivation spread along the Silk Road, from the Mediterranean through Asia and finally to China where it was the catalyst for the Opium Wars of the mid-1800s. From Seed to Sale Today, heroin’s long journey to drug addicts begins with the planting of opium poppy seeds. Opium is grown mainly by impoverished farmers on small plots in remote regions of the world. It flourishes in dry, warm climates and the vast majority of opium poppies are grown in a narrow, 4,500-mile stretch of mountains extending across central Asia from Turkey through Pakistan and Burma. Recently, opium has been grown in Latin America, notably Colombia and Mexico."

Opium is a highly-addictive narcotic drug that is used all over the world. Opiates can be consumed several different ways and are used for a variety of different purposes. Some of the more interesting facts about opium/opiates/opioids are listed below. Opium comes from a flower The poppy plant, Papaver somniferum, is the source of opium. It was grown in the Mediterranean region as early as 5,000 B. C., and has since been cultivated in a number of countries throughout the world. The milky fluid that seeps from its incisions in the unripe seed pod of this poppy has been scraped by hand and air-dried to produce what is known as opium. Modern methods of harvesting for pharmaceutical use include the industrial poppy straw process of extracting alkaloids from the mature dried plant (concentrate of poppy straw), according to the DEA. Opium has several derivatives that have similar effects, some are used medically Opiate is a term that refers to drugs and medications derived from the opium poppy plant."

Mention drugs or Google the word ‘opium’ and the link to Afghanistan will never be far away. No wonder, since over the last few decades, Afghanistan has become the largest opium producer in the world. But where did opium come from, how did it spread and what are its cultural expressions? AAN co-director Thomas Ruttig and Doris Buddenberg – member of the AAN Advisory Board, former head of UNODC Afghanistan and curator of a recent exhibition on opium – have been taking a closer look. In 2015, opium poppy was grown in Afghanistan on an estimated area of 183,000 hectares. The annual production was expected to be 3,300 metric tons, down because of a bad harvest from 6,400 metric tons in 2014. But it has not always been this way. Afghanistan became the world’s largest opium producer only in the 1980s and, although, opium is often identified as an ‘eastern drug’, its use actually originally spread from Europe and the eastern Mediterranean to southeast and east Asia."

It is the primary hardstone of Chinese sculpture. Although deep and bright green jadeite is better known in Europe, for most of China's history, jade has come in a variety of colors and white \"\"mutton-fat\"\" nephrite was the most highly praised and prized. Native sources in Henan and along the Yangtze were exploited since prehistoric times and have largely been exhausted; most Chinese jade today is extracted from the northwestern province of Xinjiang. Jade was prized for its hardness, durability, musical qualities, and beauty. [ 1] In particular, its subtle, translucent colors and protective qualities [1] caused it to become associated with Chinese conceptions of the soul and immortality. [ 2] The most prominent early use was the crafting of the Six Ritual Jades, found since the 3rd-millennium BC Liangzhu culture: [3] the bi, the cong, the huang, the hu, the gui, and the zhang. [ 4] Although these items are so ancient that their original meaning is uncertain, by the time of the composition of the Rites of Zhou, they were thought to represent the sky, the earth, and the four directions. By the Han dynasty, the royal family and prominent lords were buried entirely ensheathed in jade burial suits sewn in gold thread, on the idea that it would preserve the body and the souls attached to it. Jade was also thought to combat fatigue in the living. ["

"text": "\"Reading for Students: The Opium War and Foreign Encroachment Two things happened in the eighteenth century that made it difficult for England to balance its trade with the East. First, the British became a nation of tea drinkers and the demand for Chinese tea rose astronomically. It is estimated that the average London worker spent five percent of his or her total household budget on tea. Second, northern Chinese merchants began to ship Chinese cotton from the interior to the south to compete with the Indian cotton that Britain had used to help pay for its tea consumption habits. To prevent a trade imbalance, the British tried to sell more of their own products to China, but there was not much demand for heavy woolen fabrics in a country accustomed to either cotton padding or silk. The only solution was to increase the amount of Indian goods to pay for these Chinese luxuries, and increasingly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the item provided to China was Bengal opium. With greater opium supplies had naturally come an increase in demand and usage throughout the country, in spite of repeated prohibitions by the Chinese government and officials. The British did all they could to increase the trade: They bribed officials, helped the Chinese work out elaborate smuggling schemes to get the opium into China's interior, and distributed free samples of the drug to innocent victims. The cost to China was enormous. The drug weakened a large percentage of the population (some estimate that 10 percent of the population regularly used opium by the late nineteenth century), and silver began to flow out of the country to pay for the opium."

Britain declared war against China after they had destroyed the Opium and the ships carrying the drug. After the Chinese were defeated in the first Opium war, China gave Britain access to their naval ports as Britain continued to take huge amounts of China's valuable resources and set them up for economical disaster for years to come. After the second Opium War between the two countries, Britain ceded Hong Kong Island (robbing China of even more resources and exportable goods) and were allowed trade access to more ports.

Most of the time, when you find it on the street, it's just tar heroin. So of course I felt very fortunate recently to obtain a chunk of very very high quality opium (and yes... I am 100% absolutely sure it's real). There is absolutely no mistaking the real thing. The smell is what gives it away. It is truly unbelievable, and you never forget that smell once you've been exposed to it. If you have ever had the fortune smelling a dried poppy flower, that is exactly the smell, but much stronger. It's sickly sweet with floral undertones and a certain thick richness to it. It literally smells good enough to eat (though it wouldn't taste quite as nice!). When it burns, it smells like a combination of that and something like grilled chicken (kind of strange I know)."

On the outside, the drug dealer would usually sell this in a powder, or brown or black in the state of a sticky solid. Opium in its pure state is raw, and in its pure state it cannot be taken by a needle unless the user is willing to face the consequences (if the victim is actually crazy enough to make a needle, or it shared then the victim would may face Hepatitis, Abscess, Illness on the skin, Tetanus, and Gangrene), because opium is not sanitized, and not clean most of the time, unless it is refined, and sanitized. Opium is usually smoked, because it enters the brain fast. Eating, or drinking it would have to enter the stomach, before entering the brain, this is the reason why people usually smoke opium. Opium is not actually smoked, and would not be heated straight up, but from a distance. If opium was heated straight up from a lighter, then contact with fire would make the good feelings disappear. Opium is actually heated from a distance between the heat, and opium. Then people will breathe in the smoke opium creates, this could be mistaken for smoking. A opium pipe is a lengthy tube with a basin at the end, the opium is placed inside the basin, this where it is broiled, then people will inhale the smoke."

It flourishes in dry, warm climates and the vast majority of opium poppies are grown in a narrow, 4,500-mile stretch of mountains extending across southern Asia from Turkey through Pakistan and Laos. Heroin is also increasingly becoming an export from Latin America, notably Colombia. About three months after the poppy seeds are planted, brightly-colored flowers bloom at the tips of greenish, tubular stems. As the petals fall away, they expose an egg-shaped seed pod. Inside the pod is an opaque, milky sap. This is opium in its crudest form."

We will list and prove the main theorems here. Theorem 1: If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Proof: Let the quadrilateral be ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersecting at P: Then AP = PC and DP = PB since the diagonals bisect each other. Now consider triangles APD and CPB . The vertical angles APD and CPB are equal, and we have pairs of sides that are equal ( AP = PC and DP = PB ), so these triangles are congruent by SAS . As a consequence, the corresponding angles, DAP and BCP are equal. But these are alternate interior angles for lines AD and BC with transversal AC . So this proves side AD is parallel to side BC. Similarly, if we consider triangles APB and CPD, they are congruent by the same reasoning, so corresponding angles BAP and DCP are equal. These are alternate interior angles for lines AB and DC, so those lines are also parallel."

Initially, we considered all sorts of polygons, and then we narrowed it down to four-sided polygons called quadrilaterals. From there, we learned about a special type of quadrilateral whose opposite sides were parallel, called a parallelogram. In this section, we will get even more specific by studying the properties of different parallelograms. Let's learn about what makes rectangles, rhombuses, and squares special figures. Rectangles Definition: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. Notice that we use \"\"quadrilateral\"\" in our definition of rectangles. We could have also said that a rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles, since and quadrilateral with four right angles is also a parallelogram (because their opposite sides would be parallel).

And because the opposite lines are parallel, hence the opposite angles are also equal. A rhombus, on the other hand, may be defined as an equilateral parallelogram. It is a four-sided figure which has all the four sides equal. This property of a rhombus is similar to a square. The distinguishing characteristic between the two is that a square has all the angles equal to 90 degrees, but in a rhombus only the opposite angles are equal. Still, there is a distinguishing feature that in a rectangle the opposite angle is equal to 90 degrees, but in the case of a rhombus, the angles are not equal to 90 degrees. They are supplementary angles. Thus we may say that every rhombus is a parallelogram but the converse is not true. A rhombus is also called as a diamond or a lozenge."

Special relationships exist between the measures of consecutive angles, opposite angles and opposite sides of a parallelogram. A square is the most straightforward parallelogram, because it has 2 sets of parallel sides. Naturally, all of its angles and sides match in length or measure. Facts About a Parallelogram (1) The degree measure of the four angles of a parallelogram add up to 360 degrees. Remember that all quadrilaterals (4 sided figures) have angles which add up to 360 degrees.

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

"text": "Math Geometry Shapes Q: Is a Square a Rhombus? A: Quick Answer A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram, which is a two-dimensional, four-sided figure in which opposite sides are parallel and all sides have equal length. A square fits this definition. However, it is usually considered a special case, and some definitions of a rhombus specify that squares are not included. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is a Parallelogram With All Sides Congruent Called? What Is the Difference Between a Parallelogram and a Trapezoid? Is a Square Always, Sometimes or Never a Rhombus? Credit: Sino Images Sino Images Getty Images Full Answer Without a specific exclusion, a square qualifies not just as a rhombus but also as a specific type of rectangle, since it is a four-sided figure with four congruent, 90-degree angles. In fact, squares, rectangles and rhombuses can all be considered specific types of parallelograms. However, even if all squares are rhombuses, not all rhombuses are squares."

Quadrilateral Some types of quadrilaterals Edges and vertices 4Schläfli symbol {4} (for square)Area various methods; see below Internal angle ( degrees) 90° (for square and rectangle)In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges (or sides) and four vertices or corners. Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on. The origin of the word \"\"quadrilateral\"\" is the two Latin words quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning \"\"side\"\". Quadrilaterals are simple (not self-intersecting) or complex (self-intersecting), also called crossed. Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or concave. The interior angles of a simple (and planar) quadrilateral ABCD add up to 360 degrees of arc, that is This is a special case of the n -gon interior angle sum formula ( n − 2) × 180°.

But the Fees for International students, F1 Visa stamping and approval are the risks involved. I have a 2 year old kid and there is no one to take care of her. There is no one in India to help me.

"text": "\"Critical Care FAQFAQ 1. What is the CPT definition of critical care service (99291 and 99292)? CPT currently defines a critical illness or injury as an illness or injury that acutely impairs one or more vital organ systems such that there is a high probability of imminent or life threatening deterioration in the patient's condition. Critical care services are defined as a physician's direct delivery of medical care for a critically ill or critically injured patient. It involves decision making of high complexity to assess, manipulate, and support vital organ system failure and/or to prevent further life threatening deterioration of the patient's condition. Examples of vital organ system failure include, but are not limited to: central nervous system failure, circulatory failure, shock, renal, hepatic, metabolic, and/or respiratory failure. CMS adds that in order to qualify as critical care for Medicare patients, \"\"the failure to initiate these interventions on an urgent basis would likely result in sudden, clinically significant or life threatening deterioration in the patient's condition\"\". FAQ 2. How does Medicare's addressing of CC differ from CPT's? In July 2008, CMS released Transmittal 1548, which represents the most recent update for the Medicare payment policy for critical care services."

The first step is to apply for a position that interests you. This Web site can help you locate and apply for opportunities online. Once you are selected for a position you and the project supervisor will sign a volunteer service agreement that describes the work, the time commitment and relevant factors such as training, equipment, accommodation, and health and safety. If there are several applicants for a volunteer assignment, must the applicant who seems to have the best qualifications on paper be chosen? No. The selection of a volunteer is not a formal competitive process. Volunteers are selected based on several considerations such as experience, education, availability, interest, motivation, and personal interview. What happens if I am injured while serving on a volunteer assignment? Volunteers who are enrolled with Federal agencies are covered under the Federal Employees Compensation Act, which authorizes compensation for work-related injuries."

However, his op report reads that he removed some articular cartilage, and the corresponding dorsal aspect of the talus was also fenestrated to be removed. A size 8 CSI implant was then placed into the sinus tarsi as the area of the sustentaculum tali to then fuse this area and lock the subtalar joint into a neutral position. Does this read like he is doing a subtalar arthrodesis or arthroereisis? Nancy Reed, RHIT, Lowell, INResponse: The operative report description is NOT an arthrodesis (fusion) of the subtalar joint. There would be no need to insert an implant as described into the sinus tarsi if a true arthrodesis was being done. A subtalar joint arthrodesis includes the denuding of cartilage between the talus and the calcaneus, and then fixating the site with a bone screw or multiple pins to maintain the position until bone fusion occurs. An arthroereisis is a joint-limiting operation that blocks some motion, but not all motion of a joint. In the described case, the subtalar joint was \"\"blocked\"\" with the insertion of an implant into the sinus tarsi, an anatomic area between the talus and calcaneus."

Subscribe to Just Coding News: Outpatient!by Sharon Bolarakis, CPC, CPC-I CMS and CPT reporting guidelines for evaluation and management (E/M) codes sometimes differ, which can be confusing to coders, who sometimes aren’t even aware of the variances. Also, it’s not unusual for confusion to ensue after physicians attend coding seminars and return to the office recounting coding advice that differs greatly from what the coding staff members know to be true. Coders need to explore some of these guideline differences between CMS and CPT that pertain to E/M reporting to clarify any confusion that exists due to the inconsistencies. The guidelines coders should follow will depend on whether they are submitting the claim to Medicare or a commercial payer. History of present illness (HPI) HPI documentation is mandatory for most E/M services. The physician rendering services should obtain the HPI using the patient’s explanation for the reason of the visit on a specific date of service. CPT E/M guidelines list seven HPI descriptors, whereas CMS guidelines list eight. In addition to duration, which is the descriptor that appears only on CMS’s list, guidelines in both the CPT Manual and CMS’ 1995 Documentation Guidelines for Evaluation and Management Services include the following seven HPI descriptors: Location Quality Severity Timing Context Modifying factors Associated signs and symptoms Observation When a physician orders observation services for a patient, and the patient’s stay lasts longer than two consecutive days, the coding guidance between CMS and CPT is not the same. Keep in mind that observation encounters are considered outpatient services."

The 12-month OPT can be obtained while school is in session, after completion of a degree program, and during the summer. An additional 24-month OPT extension can be applied for by students who complete a degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) field. The 12 month Optional Practical Training benefit is available to all F-1 students completing a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree. OPT time requested before the completion of a program of study is referred to as Pre-OPTOPT time requested after the completion of a program of study is referred to as Post-OPTTotal time requested between Pre- and Post-OPT cannot exceed the allowed 12-month OPT time benefit If 12 months of full-time Curricular Practical Training (CPT) have been used then a student will not be eligible for Pre- or Post-OPT. The USCIS processing time is approximately 90 days for all OPT applications. We recommend applying for any OPT at least 104 days prior to your EAD card requested start date. That will allow the ISSC office 10 to 14 days to process your application and allow USCIS 90 days to process your application. OPT Information Sessions OPT information sessions which discuss eligibility requirements and application processes are available at the Tempe campus. General Employment information sessions which cover both Curricular Practical Training and Optional Practical Training are also available at the Downtown, Polytechnic, Thunderbird and West campus locations."

Identifying the correct classification will prevent delays or denials of payment. Many evaluation and management (E/M) codes are by definition described as new or established. This lecture will attempt to explain various important clinical aspects related to this determination. Keep in mind while the Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, CMS definitions do not always agree with CPT® definitions. This discrepancy often leads to confusion for practitioners. I will attempt to provide some insight into these differences as well. I am a practicing clinical hospitalist with over ten years of experience and I understand how complicated these E/M rules can be. I have written an extensive collection of CPT® and E/M lectures to help physicians and other non-physician practitioners (NPP) navigate the complex rules of medical billing and coding. The Medicare Evaluation and Management Services Guide on page six previously defined a qualified NPP as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse midwives and physician assistant."

Each year, in the United States, health care insurers process over 5 billion claims for payment. For Medicare and other health insurance programs to ensure that these claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner, standardized coding systems are essential. The HCPCS Level II Code Set is one of the standard code sets used for this purpose. The HCPCS is divided into two principal subsystems, referred to as level I and level II of the HCPCS. Level I of the HCPCS is comprised of CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), a numeric coding system maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA). The CPT is a uniform coding system consisting of descriptive terms and identifying codes that are used primarily to identify medical services and procedures furnished by physicians and other health care professionals. These health care professionals use the CPT to identify services and procedures for which they bill public or private health insurance programs. Decisions regarding the addition, deletion, or revision of CPT codes are made by the AMA."

"text": "Guide on Unpaid Internships for F-1 visa students Date: July 20, 2013 Author: admin A common question that often comes up to F-1 visa students (as well as J-1 visa students) is: Is it OK to work at an unpaid internship during school and also during OPT. The short and simple answer is Yes. However, it does come with a few requirements that you should pay attention to so that you don’t get yourself in trouble. Again, working illegally or for an illegal, illegitimate employer only hurts your immigration goals and possibly barr you from ever immigrating to America in the future. Make sure you know your work situation fully before engaging in any employment, paid or unpaid. Volunteering vs Unpaid Internship You do not need USCIS or your school’s DSO permission to volunteer. Volunteering is donating time and effort at a non-profit charity without the expectation of compensation. It is OK to volunteer for any 501 (c) charity in America and even put this on your resume so that it shows you are a good person and care about your society and others. In fact, this is a good way to get experience without the headaches of applying to OPT/CPT if you happen to be able to volunteer at an organization that utilize and expose you to skills and knowledge of your degree program. You can volunteer as many hours as you want and the school or USCIS really cannot force you to cut down hours, unlike an actual internship."

The optic disc is sometimes called the optic nerve head because it is the head of the optic nerve as it enters the eye from the brain. It is located slightly to the nasal side of the globe. The optic disc is known as the blind spot because it contains no photoreceptors. Thus, any light focused on the optic disc cannot be converted into sensory impulses nor sent to the brain for interpretation. The optic nerve head The optic disc: Is the collection point of the nerve fiber layer as it exits the eye Is where the nerve fiber layer becomes the optic nerve Is where the central retinal artery enters the retina Is where the central retinal vein exits the retina Has a normal slight depression called the physiologic cup Is round or slightly ovoid Is about 1.5 millimeters in diameter Is called the blind spot Diagnosing Glaucomaobserve the optic disc for certain appearance changes as a guide in determining the degree of nerve damage in glaucoma patients. Clinical evidence suggests that glaucomatous eyes lose retinal ganglion cells axons, which appears as a visible change in the optic nerve head and the retinal nerve fiber layer before loss of visual function. These changes can sometimes be seen before visual field abnormalities are detected by the patient. Axon loss in the optic nerve head is seen as a generalized enlargement of the optic nerve head cup with thinning of the neural retinal rim."

"text": "The optic nerve (also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina . There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in each optic nerve. The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue.visual pathway As the optic nerve leaves the back of the eye, it travels to the optic chiasm, located just below and in front of the pituitary gland (which is why a tumor on the pituitary gland, pressing on the optic chiasm, can cause vision problems). In the optic chiasm, the optic nerve fibers emanating from the nasal half of each retina cross over to the other side; but the nerve fibers originating in the temporal retina do not cross over. From there, the nerve fibers become the optic tract, passing through the thalamus and turning into the optic radiation until they reach the visual cortex in the occipital lobe at the back of the brain. This is where the visual center of the brain is located. The visual cortex ultimately interprets the electrical signals produced by light stimulation of the retina, via the optic nerve, as visual images. A representation of parasympathetic pathways in the pupillary light reflex can be seen here: parasympathetic response.blind spot The beginning of the optic nerve in the retina is called the optic nerve head or optic disc . Since there are no photoreceptors ( cones and rods) in the optic nerve head, this area of the retina cannot respond to light stimulation. As a result, it is known as the “blind spot,” and everybody has one in each eye."

This form of ischemic optic neuropathy is generally categorized as two types: arteritic AION (or AAION), in which the loss of vision is the result of an inflammatory disease of arteries in the head called temporal arteritis, and non-arteritic AION (abbreviated as NAION, or sometimes simply as AION), which is due to non-inflammatory disease of small blood vessels. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Introduction2 Symptoms and diagnosis3 Incidence4 Causes and risk factors5 Treatment6 Further reading7 References8 External links Introduction [ edit]The distinction between AAION and non-arteritic AION was made to highlight the different etiologies of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. AAION is due to temporal arteritis (also called giant cell arteritis ), an inflammatory disease of medium-sized blood vessels (Chapel-Hill-Conference) that occurs especially with advancing age. In contrast, NAION results from the coincidence of cardiovascular risk factors in a patient with \"\"crowded\"\" optic discs. Non-arteritic AION is more common than AAION and usually occurs in slightly younger persons. While only a few cases of NAION result in near total loss of vision, most cases of AAION result in nearly complete vision loss. [ citation needed]Beyond this introduction, this article will focus on non-arteritic AION."

Blood Supply to the Optic Nerve and Anatomy of the Optic-Nerve Head. Disorders of the optic nerve represent a relatively common cause of visual loss. The optic nerve is a white-matter tract that relays information from the retina to the brain areas of visual processing. Whenever there is damage to an optic nerve, from whatever cause, it is termed an “optic neuropathy.” Unlike inflammatory optic neuritis, which is the most common optic neuropathy in young patients, ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is the result of vascular insufficiency, not of inflammation. ION refers to all ischemic causes of optic neuropathy. Although IONs are considered to be equivalent to a “stroke of the optic nerve,” they cannot be directly compared with cerebral infarctions, and their causes and mechanisms reflect the unique anatomy of the optic nerve and its blood supply ( Figure 1 ). ION is the most common acute optic neuropathy in older patients, with an annual incidence estimated at 2.3 to 10.2 cases per 100,000 persons 50 years of age or older."

This ability depends on many factors, but especially on the precision of the eye's refraction and the ratio of cones to rods at a given location on the retina. THE EYEFunctionally, the eye can be compared with a camera, and the retina with photographic film. The purpose of the camera is to focus an image that is sharp and neither too dark nor too light onto the film. The photographer uses the camera's focus ring to bring the image into focus and its diaphragm to ensure that the amount of light entering the camera is just right for the sensitivity of the film being used. Your eye does exactly the same thing, all day long, without your even being aware of it! Your cornea and lens provide the focus, while the iris adjusts to let the optimal amount of light reach your retina. But your retina, with its many layers of neurons, is far more complex and sensitive than any photographic film. The two are similar, however, in that the image focused on both of them is inverted."

"text": "\"Visual Field Testing: From One Medical Student to Another Joy N. Carroll and Chris A. Johnson, Ph. D. August 22, 2013Introduction: Components of Vision Vision is a combination of distinct measurable functions: visual acuity, color vision, vernier (alignment) acuity, the perception of movement and change in luminous intensity (flicker) or differences in luminous intensity (contrast). Visual acuity is the ability to determine fine detail and distinguish one object from another. Acuity is tested with vision charts of letters or images. Changes in luminous intensity are perceived as flicker, and the difference in luminous intensity from one object to another is perceived as contrast [1]. The visual field encompasses the entire region of space seen while gaze is directed at any central object. This tutorial explains visual field testing. The Visual Field Under normal daylight (photopic) conditions, the smallest or least intense visible objects are only seen in the central region of the visual field. In the periphery, objects must be larger or more intense to be identified. A normal visual field extends approximately 100° temporally (laterally), 60° nasally, 60° superiorly, and 70° inferiorly [2]. A physiologic scotoma (a blind spot) exists at 15° temporally where the optic nerve leaves the eye. Definitive location varies slightly on an individual basis."

Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is a form of open-angle glaucoma characterized by glaucomatous optic neuropathy in patients with IOP measurements consistently lower than 21 mm Hg. Although NTG was once thought to be uncommon, the Beaver Dam Eye Study reported that nearly one-third of glaucoma patients can be classified as having NTG. 1 Other studies have suggested that as many as two-thirds of Japanese patients with glaucoma have NTG. 2The etiology of NTG is unclear. Contributing factors may include vasospastic events, hypoperfusion, nocturnal hypotension, hypercoagulability and increased blood viscosity, and genetic factors. NTG has also been associated with migraine headaches, Raynaud’s phenomenon, diffuse cerebral ischemia and various autoimmune disorders. Distinguishing NTG From Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients with NTG or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) present with open angles on gonioscopy, cupping of the optic nerve head and visual field loss. However, NTG has several distinguishing features. As the name implies, NTG patients have a higher propensity for optic nerve damage at relatively low levels of IOP."

"text": "How Glaucoma Affects the Optic Nerveprint email Tweet What is the optic nerve? This is the part of the eye that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. It is located at the very back of the eye just to the nose side of center. It is also the part of the eye that gets injured when someone has glaucoma. What comprises the optic nerve? It is made up of about 1 million small individual thread-like nerve fibers that come from the retina. The fibers bend about 90 degrees as they leave the retina and enter the front of the optic nerve (known as the optic nerve head). Normally, there is a small crater-like depression seen at the front of the optic nerve head. This depression is known as the cup. Its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the optic nerve."

It is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide after cataracts. In the United States, primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in African Americans. This disease is typically asymptomatic until advanced visual field loss occurs. Some of the risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma have been extensively described and studied, including elevated intraocular pressure, advancing age, family history, African ancestry, myopia, and perhaps presence of certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. The precise mechanism of increased resistance to aqueous outflow remains unclear and is currently an active focus of research. At present, all our treatment strategies are directed at lowering intraocular pressure. Initial treatment is usually started with topical or oral medications. However, with progressive damage, laser trabeculoplasty may be considered as an adjunctive therapy, followed by incisional glaucoma surgery, either with trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage implant. Disease Entity Primary open angle glaucoma Disease Glaucoma describes a group of conditions in which there is characteristic cupping of the optic disc with corresponding visual field defects, due to retinal ganglion cell loss."

It will provide a brief review of all modalities, but focus primarily on the Cirrus machine. Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT), first described in 1991, is a noncontact, noninvasive imaging technique that can reveal layers of the retina by looking at the interference patterns of reflected laser light. [ 1] Automated software segmentation algorithms are able to outline the retinal nerve fiber layer with much precision, which is relevant in glaucoma since this layer is thinned as ganglion cells are lost. OCT became widely popular in 2002 with the release of Stratus OCT, a time-domain technology (TD-OCT) that was well-studied and validated for use in glaucoma and retina and went on to become a standard structural imaging test. Only four years later, several companies started to release the next generation technology, spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), AKA fourier-domain OCT, which improved upon TD-OCT by capturing more data in less time at a higher axial image resolution, around 5 µm. Ultrahigh speed swept source OCT, ultrahigh resolution OCT, polarization sensitive OCT, and adaptive optics OCT are all on the horizon. Currently, the most common four commercially available SD-OCT devices in the US are: Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA), RTVue-100 (Optovue Inc., Fremont, CA, USA), Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany), and Topcon 3D-OCT 2000 (Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). [ 2] Each machine has different glaucoma scan patterns, proprietary software segmentation algorithms, and display outputs."

Imaging of the orbit using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with dural ectasia reveals tube-like enlargement of the optic nerve/sheath complex.1,2 We present a patient with rapidly progressive visual loss which was related to dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheath and the vision remained unchanged despite surgical treatment. Case report A 36-year-old female was admitted (to the Department of Neurology, Hacettepe University Medical Faculty, Department of Neurology, Neuro-ophthalmology Unit, Ankara, Turkey) with the complaints of headache and severe bilateral visual loss that had progressed rapidly in 3 months. She was found to have papilledema on examination and had been treated with acetazolamide 250 mg qid for 8 weeks elsewhere.

"text": "blind spot The existence of a small blind region in the normal human eye was predicted in the seventeenth century by the French scientist Edmé Mariotte. While dissecting a human eye, Mariotte noticed the ‘optic disc’ — a hole in the back of the eyeball through which all the nerve fibres that make up the optic nerve leave the eye. He realized that, unlike the rest of the retina that surrounds the hole, this optic disc is devoid of light-sensitive photoreceptors. Applying his knowledge of optics and of the anatomy of the eye, he deduced that every eye should be blind in a corresponding small portion of the visual field. The optic disc lies about 15 degrees to the nasal side of the fovea (the part of the retina that we point towards things when we fixate them). Since the image on the retina is inverted by the optics of the eye, the ‘blind spot’ in the visual field lies to the right of the point of fixation for the right eye and to the left for the left eye. You can confirm Mariotte's observation and find your own blind spot by viewing Fig. 1. Close your right eye, hold the book about a foot away from your face and look fixedly at the little black dot on the page. Keep looking at the dot as you very slowly move the page towards you."

Normal Appearance The fundus is divided into 2 regions: tapetal (reflective region of dorsal fundus) and nontapetal (surrounding the tapetal fundus and occupying the ventral fundus). The fundus also includes the retinal vessels and optic disc (or optic nerve head) ( Figure A ). Figure A. The optic disc or optic nerve head of the dog is highly myelinated and irregular in shape. The retinal vessels anastomose on the surface. The green tapetum is dorsal and the pigmented nontapetum ventral. The tapetal fundus is a cellular region of the anterior choroid in carnivores located between the retinal pigmented epithelium and the large vessel layers of the choroid ( Figure B ).

Top Abstract Aims To provide a clinical update on the hereditary optic neuropathies. Methods Review of the literature. Results The hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a group of disorders in which the cause of optic nerve dysfunction appears to be hereditable, based on familial expression or genetic analysis. In some hereditary optic neuropathies, optic nerve dysfunction is typically the only manifestation of the disease. In others, various neurologic and systemic abnormalities are regularly observed. Conclusion The most common hereditary optic neuropathies are autosomal dominant optic atrophy (Kjer's disease) and maternally inherited Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. We review the clinical phenotypes of these and other inherited disorders with optic nerve involvement."

"text": "Published September 15, 2015Visual Aura and Scotomas: What Do They Indicate? Tracing these anomalous phenomena to their physiological origins can help you determine the appropriate level of care. By George T. Banyas, ODVisual aura represent a type of neurologic deficit familiar to any eye care practitioner. Although classically preceding migraine or seizure, an aura, simply defined, is a symptom, not a medical condition unto itself. Likewise, terms such as visual scotomas, amaurosis fugax or transient visual obscurations also represent a disturbance of vision; however, they do not classically precede migrainous headache or cortical seizure activity and are associated with other types of pathology. Nonetheless, each term, when used in the right circumstance, may define remarkably similar visual deficits in one or both eyes. A substantial list of differentials must be considered when a patient describes such visual disturbances, some associated with significant morbidity. Because of this, the complaint of visual aura or scotoma requires a comprehensive evaluation and should not simply be assumed to be migrainous (a diagnosis of exclusion). An understanding of the different types of aura and scotomas and how they present allows eye care practitioners to differentiate causes and order testing appropriately for potentially very different pathologies. With scintillating, or fortification, scotomas, the central scotoma is bordered by a crescent of shimmering zigzags."

You have one connecting the back of each eye (your retina) to your brain. Damage to an optic nerve can cause vision loss. The type of vision loss and how severe it is depends on where the damage occurs. It may affect one or both eyes. There are many different types of optic nerve disorders, including: Glaucoma is a group of diseases that are the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Glaucoma usually happens when the fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises and damages the optic nerve. Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve. Causes include infections and immune-related illnesses such as multiple sclerosis."

Foods Permitted on a Low Potassium Diet Potassium is an essential mineral that helps balance your sodium levels to keep your blood pressure from getting too high. It also plays a role in heart, muscle and digestive function. However, many people don't consume enough to meet the minimum recommended intake of 4700 milligrams of potassium per day. While bananas are a good source of potassium, some fruits contain even higher levels of potassium, potentially making it easier to meet the recommended daily intake of this nutrient. Alternatively, you may want to avoid these items if you are on a potassium-restricted diet. Potassium in Bananas Eating bananas gives you a good start toward reaching your recommended daily potassium intake. A 1-cup serving of bananas contains 537 milligrams of potassium, or about 11 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). A banana contains about 422 milligrams, or 9 percent of the RDA.

"text": "31 Favorite Fruits and the Nutrients They Contain Let’s face it, our food preferences are based on taste, not nutrition, which is why fruit is such a great food. Fruit tastes sweet and interesting. They have an agreeable texture, crunchy like apples, smooth like a peach, and juicy like an orange. And most fruits are surprisingly nutritious. Though not as nutrient-dense as vegetables, fruits are an important source of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Some fruits are more nutritious than others, but with fruits, as with vegetables and grains, variety is the spice of life. Nutrients that one fruit lacks, another fruit provides. Fructose is the principle sugar in most fruits, though sucrose is the principle sugar in others, such as oranges, melons, and peaches. Fructose is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, so fruit gives you energy without triggering the ups and downs of the insulin cycle. Apple."

As reported in USA Today, children and adults eat an average of slightly more than a cup of vegetables a day and a little more than a half a cup of fruit. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise that we eat a diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. And according to USDA’s dietary guidance system My Plate, half of our plate should consist of fruits and veggies. For a 2,000-calorie diet, it advised that we eat two cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of veggies each day. Eating a diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables has been linked to improved health, and for good reason. Veggies and fruits (both fresh and frozen) are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, which have been shown to protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. They are also low in calories, making them a great choice for your waistline. Choosing a colorful assortment vegetables is best, as different benefits exist in the different color spectrum. The orange pigment found in carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes, for example, contain the antioxidant beta-carotene."

Although diabetic patients can include fruits in their diet, but there are some factors that the patients need to keep in mind when choosing a fruit, the most important being the glycemic index. WHAT IS GLYCEMIC INDEX? Glycemic Index is a number which tells us about the effect of food on a person’s blood sugar level. The Glycemic Index has a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is pure glucose. Low GI foods do not raise blood sugar level to a considerable extent like high GI foods do. So, fruits containing low GI are highly preferable. Roughly,-GI value below 50 is considered low.-GI value between 50 ‐60 is considered average.-GI value above 60 is high.-Here are the GI scores of some of the commonly available fruits: black jamun (25), cherries (20), pear (38), apple (39), orange (40), plum (40), strawberry (41), peach (42), guava (32)LOW GI FRUITS THAT ARE IDEAL FOR DIABETICS:1 .

"text": "\"A Complete List of Negative Calorie Foodswritten by: Darlene Zagata • edited by: Donna Cosmato • updated: 6/16/2010You may have heard about a diet based on foods that contain little or no calories and actually cause your body to expend energy to digest them. These \"\"negative calorie\"\" foods are high in water content and can aid weight loss. Here is a complete list of negative calorie foods. What does negative calorie mean? The truth is all foodstuffs contain some caloric value. There are certain foods, however, that require more energy for the body to digest than the calories they contain thus more fat is burned by eating such foods. This is the premise behind the negative calorie diet. It takes energy to break down and digest the foods we eat but plant based foods such as vegetables are more difficult to digest because of their cellular composition. Celery is an example of a negative calorie food. The body uses more calories to digest the food than the celery contains which is why it is referred to as a negative calorie food."

Potassium is a mineral found in your blood and other bodily fluids and inside your cells. It is called an electrolyte because it carries an electric charge -- in this case, a positive charge. A healthy, well-balanced diet generally provides adequate potassium, although supplements are available for certain situations. Taking in adequate potassium is extremely important for the health and normal function of your body. Potassium The majority of the potassium in your body is found inside your cells, where it helps maintain a correct fluid balance and supports many biochemical reactions. Potassium travels in your blood, helping it reach all your tissues and providing your cells with needed supplies of the mineral. Your body maintains the amount of potassium in your blood in a narrow range; a level that is too high or too low can cause serious problems, potentially interfering with the beating of your heart or the function of your nerves and muscles."

Clay Christine Economos is Assistant Professor, Tufts University School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Medford, Massachusetts, United States. William D. Clay is Chief, Nutrition Programmes Service, Food and Nutrition Division, FAO, Rome. Citrus fruits have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavours provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world, and it is increasingly evident that citrus not only tastes good, but is also good for people. It is well established that citrus and citrus products are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre (non-starch polysaccharides) that are essential for normal growth and development and overall nutritional well-being. However, it is now beginning to be appreciated that these and other biologically active, non-nutrient compounds found in citrus and other plants (phytochemicals) can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Where appropriate, dietary guidelines and recommendations that encourage the consumption of citrus fruit and their products can lead to widespread nutritional benefits across the population. MORE THAN VITAMIN C: THE NUTRIENT CONTENT AND FUNCTIONS OF CITRUSCitrus is most commonly thought of as a good source of vitamin C. However, like most other whole foods, citrus fruits also contain an impressive list of other essential nutrients, including both glycaemic and non-glycaemic carbohydrate (sugars and fibre), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B 6, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and a variety of phytochemicals. In addition, citrus contains no fat or sodium and, being a plant food, no cholesterol. The average energy value of fresh citrus is also low (see Table), which can be very important for consumers concerned about putting on excess body weight."

"text": "Health Monster Acid to Alkaline: Naturally Acidic Plant-Based Foods That Alkalize the Body3.2k Total Shares Heather Mc Clees April 27, 2017The concept of alkalinity is becoming more well-known today than ever before. As many people suffer inflammation that leads to disease, pain and a host of other health issues, we’re starting to realize it’s time we turn to our diets for an answer. The human body’s p H level plays an important role in overall function and health. Your kidneys and lungs attempts to maintain a slightly alkaline p H of 7.4 when the body receives what it needs, with 1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline. Diet has a large role in its ability to maintain that beautiful balance of 7.4, and while the body can actually be too alkaline, it’s more common for people to be overly acidic. An overly acidic body is known as acidosis, at which point the body can not function properly as it should. This can lead to heart disease, general joint pain, diabetes, cancer, and even just depression. Animal-based foods are the most inflammatory foods that exist, along with sugar, alcohol, refined grains, highly processed foods, junk foods, fast food, caffeine, sodas, and yes, sadly, even chocolate’s naturally acidic. The key is to reduce as many acidic foods in your diet as possible, emphasizing naturally more alkaline foods like greens, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, raw nuts and seeds (versus roasted), beans, legumes, and most common superfoods out there. Herbs and spices are also more alkaline than acidic foods listed above, and many are actually anti-inflammatory and boost immune function just like whole foods do."

LOW \"\"p H\"\": If your \"\"p H\"\" is too low (consumption of too much ACIDITY, which is very common), it wears your body down; the ACIDS attack your glands, its a struggle to live, and you can easily catch many diseases. Acidity also cause OBESITY and OVER WEIGHT problems. HIGH \"\"p H\"\": If you maintain a high p H you will experience less disease, better health, less weight gain, better temperament, and not only will you be nicer to everyone around you, but everyone will be nicer to you (with only the occasional intentional use of Low p H to kill off bacteria & viruses, which live at the same p H of 7.4, which is the same p H which live at). CONCLUSIONS: p H is one of the most important things in both Mental Health and Physical Health, and I urge you to read this entire page. I am convinced (after reading and studying many aspects of health and nutrition) that \"\"Low p H\"\" alone, is the Root Cause for at least 50% of diseases leading to hospitalization, cancer on down the line, etc, etc, including psychological disturbances, and that people who DRINK WATER are generally HEALTHY PEOPLE (you need a half gallon to 1.5 gallons max per day as per The Merck Manual, standard medical reference). Those people who drink Water don't have the same problems that everyone else does. They don't have to join A. A., they don't have to be hospitalized for Psychological disturbances (unless depressed, in which case 100 mg of B Vitamins daily will fix that quick, B1 Thiamine, B2 Riboflavin, B6 Pyridoxine, and B12 Cobalium, in the form of a B Complex or B Stress or B 1000 or B 100 sold at most groceries). ANY BEVERAGE provides you with necessary FLUIDS for survival, but ONLY WATER will help you maintain a proper \"\"p H\"\". SODA, JUICES, COFFEE & TEA are NOT a Substitute for WATER: as Soda (and other beverages) have a dangerously low p H. I shake hands with people, and 30 to 60 seconds later my hand is burning due to their low p H, I can imagine how much they are suffering (but they are used to it, but if they only knew, and I do try to help them when I can)."

The PRAL is a score of how much acid or base the food causes to be excreted into the urine. Your body must rid itself of excess acid into your urine in order to maintain a healthy p H environment. The more acid a food creates in your body, the more acid is excreted in your urine. In the 1990s, researchers conducted a study to calculate the PRAL value of 114 frequently consumed foods. The study was published in \"\"Journal of the American Dietetic Association\"\" in 1995. This is the PRAL index currently used. A PRAL below zero indicates a nonacidic food, and the lower the PRAL score, the more alkaline the food."

When you’re kicking off on the alkaline diet – it can seem confusing and a bit overwhelming as to what can and can’t be included. This guide I made called ‘ The Simple Alkaline Test ‘ can help you out in making the judgement call when you’re out, shopping or at a restaurant, but please generally try to stay a bit relaxed with it. You don’t need to be perfect, and you can make a few mistakes along the way and still get amazing results. It’s a long game New Additions to the Acid & Alkaline Food Charts Banana – acid forming as it is rather high in sugar. Although it contains the alkaline mineral, potassium, the sugar overrides this alkaline effect. If you’re wondering about fruits, and whether fructose could really be all that bad, check out my guide to sugar and healthy alternatives here. Papaya – less acid forming than banana but still should be seen as a treat, albeit a treat with vitamins!Mango – as with papaya Mangosteen – I love mangosteen. It is reasonably high in sugar so would be moderately acid forming, but good for a healthy snack every now and then once in balance. I ate a few in Thailand over the past few weeks, delicious."

There’s even a common household spice you can use to test a food or drink to see if it’s too alkaline or acidic!But first, to find out if your body’s p H is out of balance, there are several different ways to test it. The easiest way is with a saliva p H test using special paper strips that indicate where you fall on the p H scale. Keeping track of your saliva p H can help guide you in how you need to improve your diet and other lifestyle characteristics since emotions also have an affect on p H. The p H in food and drink is often called either acid-ash or alkaline-ash . The “ash” means the p H value of a food after it is burned (“metabolized”) by the body. Some foods (such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and apple cider vinegar, for example) will test acid before metabolizing but turn alkaline afterwards. A recommended ratio of acid-ash to alkaline-ash foods for increased vitality is 90% alkaline to 10% acid until you are well. A maintenance ratio is 70% alkaline to 30% acid producing foods if you are satisfactorily healthy. Turmeric is a common spice best known for its beautiful bright orange color and use in Indian cooking. The interesting thing is you can use it to test the p H in food or drink!"

The yellow and oval in shape fruit is high in acid content. In fact, the citric acid is 5-6% as to compare with orange and grapefruit. Nevertheless, lemon belongs to the long lists of fruits that can contribute to the alkalinity of our blood. If the previous statement added to your confusion, this article will attempt to enlighten your doubt as to whether a lemon is acid or alkaline. To understand better, imagine that our human body has to maintain the alkaline acid state of balance not lower than 7.4 ph level. The perfect ratio in order to maintain the alkaline blood chemistry should be 80% alkalinity and only 20% acidity. If you wonder what will happen if we hit the lower ph level, it poses threat to health leading to various diseases. However, the foods we consume play a major role in maintaining this state of balance, including lemon: the acid fruit in nature. How Lemons Become Alkaline?"

One of the most important functions of this vessel is its ability to regulate its own acidity levels to a very fine degree. Cells will only function normally within relatively narrow limits of p H. The body regulates its p H by constantly adjusting physiological processes, such as kidney and lung function. However, the foods you eat can play a role in increasing or decreasing body p H, and some foods can be more alkalizing than others. An acidic body is a magnet for sickness, disease, cancer, and aging. Eating more alkaline foods helps shift your body’s p H and oxygenates your system, keeping your body healthy and functioning correctly, preventing cancer, among many other diseases. Definitionp H, or “potential hydrogen,” is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration; a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. When a solution is alkaline, or has alkalinity, it means it has the ability to neutralize acids. Alkalinity is expressed as a p H number, on a scale of 0 to 14. A p H of 7 is neutral; neither acidic nor alkaline."

This article explores the question of how acidic tea is, and whether or not its acidity can contribute to any negative impacts on health. Highly acidic food and drink can be a health concern, as it can contribute to tooth decay and digestive upset. However, the level of acidity in tea tends to be very low, lower than coffee, and much lower than fruit juice and soft drinks. Tea is not acidic enough to cause any harm. Acidity is usually measured by p H, with pure water being given a p H of 7, and acids being given lower p H's, ranging from 1 (stomach acid) to 3-4 (fruit juices), to just under 6 for very mild acids.

Healthy Alkaline Diet Foods involve the ideal balance between acidifying and alkalizing foods. The body includes a number of organ systems that are adept at neutralizing and eliminating excess acid, but there is a limit to how much acid even a healthy body can cope with effectively. The body is capable of maintaining an acid-alkaline balance provided that the organs are functioning properly, that a well-balanced alkaline diet is being consumed, and that other acid-producing factors, such as tobacco use, are avoided. How many Americans today follow a healthy diet and regularly engage in other health-promoting activites? The standard American diet is highly acid-forming, overwhelming the body's mechanisms for removing excess acid. The staples of the American diet are meat, dairy, corn, wheat, and refined sugars (all acidifying foods). At the same time, the diet is notably deficient in alkalizing fruits and vegetables. The alkaline diet greatly reduces this acid load, helping to reduce the strain on the body's acid-detoxification systems, such as the kidneys."

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."

But I don't think drinking some orange juice and then rinsing out your mouth and or brushing your teeth will harm you. You just need to not bathe your teeth in anything acidic too regularly. Orange juice has other good stuff in it that you actually want! Just be sure to rinse and not hold it in your mouth too long. \"\" So what happens when we bathe our teeth in an acid bath, such as citric acid from lemons or carbonic acid from soda? The inorganic calcium salts are dissolved. The tooth becomes decalcified leaving a soft organic matrix that can be easily abraded away or invaded by bacteria and hence decayed. A typical individual who has habitually been sucking on lemons will have lost the enamel on the front of their teeth and perhaps even display acid erosion on the biting surfaces of their back teeth."

You may want to take a look at your diet. If your dental hygiene is great -- you brush your teeth twice a day, floss once a day, and clean your tongue -- your bad breath could be linked to your diet.

It probably won't make much difference if you eat breakfast immediately after waking up, but it's actually best to brush your teeth as the first thing you do in the morning and before breakfast. You salivate less while you're asleep, and the time you spend asleep is ideal for bacteria to multiply and produce plaque."

Plaque builds up when bacteria attach to the tooth and gum margins. Factors like smoking, hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, poor nutrition, stress, certain medications, diabetes and other illnesses also contribute to the problem.

BRUSHING TEETH AFTER BREAKFASTMost people want to ensure they have fresh breath before work but brushing your teeth straight after breakfast can harm rather than help your teeth, says Dr Alldritt. If you’ve had orange juice or fruit for breakfast the acid from that fruit softens the enamel on your teeth and if you brush too soon you could abrade the enamel. You should wait until at least an hour after you’ve eaten before you attempt to brush, he says. “That advice is if you’ve eaten something acidic, it does not apply if you’ve had bacon and eggs or cereal and milk,” says Dr Alldritt."

And maybe, your routine also involves juice as part of your breakfast. But if you’ve had that morning OJ too soon after brushing your teeth, you already know how terrible that idea is. Here’s why. When you put toothpaste on your toothbrush, it just sits there, covering the bristles that it’s touching and not moving onto the other ones or onto the floor below. But when you start brushing, the stuff foams up and goes everywhere. That’s by design — you want to toothpaste to be neat and tidy before it enters your mouth, but once inside, you want it to spread, cleaning your teeth as much as possible. The foaming action helps this happen. That foaming action is caused by one of two compounds typically found in toothpaste, called a sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES). These are known as a surfactant — a compound which lowers the surface tension between, in this case, a liquid and a solid. ("

Regular check ups and cleanings can prevent these problems as well as provide you with good oral hygiene. Here is a list of 10 Dental hygiene steps you can take to promote great oral hygiene.1. Proper Brushing One of the easiest steps to do to help your teeth keep clean. When brushing your teeth, position the bristles at an angle of 45 degrees near the gum line. Both the gum line and the tooth surface should be in contact with the bristles. Brush the outer surfaces of the teeth using a back-and-forth, up-and-down motion, making sure to be done gently in order to avoid bleeding. To clean the inside surfaces of the teeth and gums, place the bristles at a 45-degree angle again and repeat the back-and-forth, up-and-down motion. Lastly, brush the surfaces of your tongue and the roof of your mouth to remove bacteria, which might cause bad breath."

Still, antibiotics can play an important role in getting rid of acne for some people—if they are used correctly. This article will tell you what you need to know about acne antibiotics that really work. Some antibiotics are effective at killing acne, but others just cause them to go dormant. Summary: Antibiotics shut down the metabolic machinery of bacteria. Some antibiotics kill acne on contact, but others just cause them to go dormant. Antibiotics are available as pills you take by mouth and as gels, lotions, creams, and serums you put on your face. The antibiotic you used 10 years ago may no longer be effective, as acne bacteria develop antibiotic resistance. American doctors often prescribe certain acne antibiotics to anyone over the age of 8 that European and Canadian doctors will not prescribe to anyone under the age of 22, because of the possibility of staining the teeth."

Examples of Good and Bad Carbohydrates Glucose is the main source of energy for the body to fulfill normal physiological activities and this is provided to you by carbohydrates. Elaborating a little on the types of carbohydrates that exist, we see that they are of two types on the basis of their structure. They can be complex carbohydrates and simple ones. The complex carbohydrates are digested slowly into their simpler form that is glucose.

Published on: January 26th, 2008Article by: Anthony Wilson Filed under: Blood Glucose, Diabetes Fighters, Fibre, Food & Drink, Insulin, Sugar Diabetics often ask whether it is safe for them to eat large quantities of fruit. Many diabetic patients avoid eating fruit because they are worried that the high sugar content found in most fruits will worsen their condition. Fortunately, there are many fruits a diabetic can enjoy which do not significantly affect blood glucose levels, in fact certain fruits may actually improve glucose control and insulin sensitivity over time. Good Fruits For Diabetics Fiber rich foods are generally safe for diabetics to eat because they tend to have a lower glycemic index (GI) and therefore do not spike blood sugar levels to the same extent as high GI foods. This is because fiber delays the emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine which slows down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. Fiber rich fruits tend to be fruits with edible skins and seeds as it is these parts of the fruit that are highest in fiber. Fruits high in fiber include (fiber content in brackets): passion fruit (10.4%), raspberries (6.5%), apples (2.5%), pears (2.1%), apricots (2.1%), blueberries (2.7%), kiwifruit (2.1%), strawberries (2.0%), pomegranates (3.4%), and avocados (6.7%). The avocado is not only high in fiber, but is also a rich source of monounsaturated fat. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a diet high in monounsaturated fat as it can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease which is more common in diabetics than the general population."

Along with all of the nutritional benefits, apples are also excellent sources of carbohydrates. While they have very little starch, apples provide natural sugar for the energy your body needs, as well as soluble and insoluble fiber for gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Total Carbohydrates The recommended dietary allowance for total carbohydrates -- 130 grams daily -- includes sugars and starches, which provide the primary source of fuel for your body. The Institute of Medicine established this requirement based on the minimum amount of glucose needed to fuel your brain because it’s the only carbohydrate-dependent organ in your body, according to the USDA National Agricultural Library. One medium-sized apple with the skin contains 25 grams of total carbohydrates, or 19 percent of your RDA. If you don’t eat the skin, you'll get 21 grams of total carbs. Soluble and Insoluble Fiber Some types of fiber, including the pectin in apples, ferment in your intestines and produce a small amount of energy, but most fiber passes through your body undigested. The soluble fiber in apples lowers levels of cholesterol in your blood. It’s also good for weight management because it absorbs water and makes you feel full."

The body receives 4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrates consumed. Carbohydrates are separated into simple carbohydrates (sugar), complex carbohydrates (fiber) and starch. Carbohydrates can also be separated into groups based on the Glycemic Index, which measures how high and how quickly blood glucose levels change after eating carbohydrates. The higher the Glycemic Index, the higher the rise in blood sugar and the longer it takes to return to normal."

"text": "Tweet (Natural News) One of the most nutritious foods on the traditional Thanksgiving menu is the sweet potato. These orange-skinned root vegetables offer a host of health benefits (especially when cooked without the unnecessary sugar and marshmallows). If you want to raise health consciousness around the dinner table this holiday season, try throwing some of these six sweet potato facts into the conversation:1. High nutritional value A 7-ounce (1 cup) serving of sweet potatoes contains 65% of the minimum necessary daily amount of Vitamin C. Sweet potatoes are also high in calcium, folate, potassium and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant which converts to Vitamin A in the body: one serving of sweet potatoes can provide you with as much as 700% of the US RDA for Vitamin A. The Center for Science in the Public Interest rates sweet potatoes as the number one most nutritious vegetable because they such are so nutritionally rich.2. Low glycemic index If you are unfamiliar with this term, the glycemic index indicates the impact a food substance has on blood sugar levels. A high glycemic index means blood sugar levels can spike. Diabetes and others who monitor their blood sugar levels seek to avoid foods with a high glycemic index or load. Sweet potatoes have a glycemic load of only 17. ( By way of comparison, a white potato has an index of 29.)3."

Keeping your blood sugar low doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid anything sweet and tasty. Fruits usually have a modest impact on your blood sugar and are good for you in many ways. You don't have to actively avoid any fruits to keep your blood sugar low, as long as you pay attention to your portion sizes. Food and Blood Sugar Most diets aimed at controlling blood sugar count either a food's carbohydrate content – the approach favored by the American Diabetes Association – or its glycemic index, usually abbreviated as GI. The GI measures how quickly a food raises your blood sugar, compared to a standard reference point. The reference is usually pure glucose, though white bread is sometimes used instead. The higher the number, the greater the impact it has on your blood sugar. Any food with a GI of 55 or less has a low GI, 55 to 69 is mid-range, and anything over 70 is high. Despite their sweetness, surprisingly few fruits fall into the two higher categories."

Chemically, all carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules, and some types consist of long chains of these particles. When you eat products containing carbohydrates, the body breaks down these chemical chains into basic sugar molecules through digestion, which increases the level of sugar in the bloodstream.

Glycemic Index Although some people might differ with me, I personally do not see a contradiction between counting carbs and the Glycemic Index (GI). They both set an example of healthy or good (complex) carbs and unhealthy or bad (simple) carbs. One does it by watching the carb count and subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols and the other rates carbohydrates by a numbering system (0-100). The lower the number, the better the carb, the higher the number, the worse the carb. Both systems agree that low carbs (complex carbs) do not impact the sugar level in your blood as quickly and do not make your blood level spike and drop. The contrary is true of high carbs (simple carbs), which do, thus causing you to get hungry and desire more food. For a Diabetic, it is not just a matter of getting hungry and eating more, but it can be very dangerous to have spikes as it can lead to many serious diabetic complications such as problems with their eye sight, amputations of toes, feet, or limbs, as well as heart attack, high blood pressure, strokes, high cholesterol and high triglycerides, and if the level drops too fast or too low, can cause a Diabetic coma or death. This by the way most of these problems are also true for people who are not Diabetic. Although there are some differences in the Glycemic Diet and the Low Carb program, I simply take the best from both worlds."

Diabetes Low GI Food List Glycemic index, or GI, is a number assigned to carbohydrate-containing foods based on how they affect your blood sugar levels. Many diets encourage consumption of low-GI foods as part of a low-calorie weight loss program. However, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, simply consuming a low-GI diet has not been proven effective for weight loss. The American Diabetes Association reports that although counting carbohydrates is generally most useful for blood sugar control, consuming foods based on glycemic index may help fine-tune the management of blood sugar levels. GI Basics Carbohydrates are primarily found in foods such as grains, starchy vegetables, legumes, fruits, juices, milk, yogurt, sweets, sugars and desserts. Smaller amounts of carbohydrates are also present in non-starchy vegetables, soy products, cottage cheese, nuts and seeds. Low-glycemic index foods cause your blood sugar to increase less drastically compared with high-GI foods. According to Mayo Clinic, low-GI foods are those with GI scores of 55 and under; medium-GI foods have assigned scores between 56 and 69 and high GIs are considered 70 and above."

Habitat: Live in lowland and hilly tropical rain forest, including dipterocarp and peat-swamp forest. Their habitat is almost wholly arboreal (tree dwelling). Status: Endangered. Threatened by the destruction of its forest environment to make room for farms and villages, and to harvest lumber. Diet in the wild: Orangutans are omnivorous; they eat both plants and animals such as: fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, nuts, shoots, insects, bird eggs, and small mammals. Some may be seen eating soil, a source of minerals for many animals. Water is drunk from tree holes by dipping in a hand and sucking the water-drops that fall from its wrist. Diet in the zoo: Fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, and kiwi, in addition to vegetables like carrots, yams, and romaine lettuce. Physical description: Second in size only to the gorilla, the orangutan male weighs 130-220 lbs; whereas, the female is about 88-110 lbs."

"text": "Where Orangutans Liveby Liz Osborn Current Results.com Two islands in southeast Asia — Borneo and Sumatra — are the only places where orangutans live. Each island has its own species of orangutan, that's named after the island. So Sumatran orangutans live on Sumatra and Bornean orangutans live on Borneo. Sumatra is part of Indonesia, while Borneo is divided among three countries. Bornean orangutans live in both Indonesia and Malaysia. Overall, Indonesia is where about 80 percent of the world's wild orangutans remain. Sumatran Orangutans Sumatran orangutans ( Pongo abelii) come from the provinces of North Sumatra and Aceh (Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam) on the northwest part of Sumatra. They are found mainly in the rainforests located north and west of Lake Toba and the city of Medan. About 88 percent of the island's orangutans survive in the Leuser Ecosystem, a conservation area that covers 26,000 square kilometres (10,000 square miles). Over a third of the Ecosystem is set aside as Gunung Leuser National Park."

Orangutans are currently only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan ( P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan ( P. abelii ). In November 2017 it was reported that a third species had been identified, the Tapanuli orangutan ( P. tapanuliensis ). [ 2] [3] [4]Genomic comparisons show that the Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Sumatran orangutan about 3.4 million years ago. The Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Bornean orangutan much later, about 670,000 years ago. The orangutans are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other species, such as the three extinct species of the genus Gigantopithecus, including the largest known primate Gigantopithecus blacki."

(born, 1946 (age 63), Wiesbaden, Germany), is a primatologist, conservationist, anthropologist, and author of several books relating to the endangered species orangutan as well as great apes and Tanjung Puting National Park. Well known in the field of modern primatology, Galdikas is recognized by many as the leading authority on orangutans. Of Lithuanian heritage, Galdikas grew up in Toronto, Canada. In college she studied psychology and biology. In 1966, Galdikas earned her bachelor’s degrees in psychology and zoology from the University of British Columbia and the University of California, Los Angeles summa cum laude, her master’s degree in anthropology from UCLA in 1969 and her doctorate in anthropology, also from UCLA, in 1978. It was there, as a graduate student, she first met famed Kenyan paleontologist Louis Leakey and expressed her desire to study orangutans in their natural habitat. Determined to study and understand the elusive “red ape”in the wild, Galdikas convinced Leakey to help find funding for her endeavor, despite his initial reservations. Orangutans are intelligent great apes native to Malaysia and Indonesia. They have long arms and reddish, sometimes brown or orange, hair."

"text": "Threats to Borneo forests The Heart of Borneo under siege As in many tropical areas around the world, Borneo’s rainforests are being cut and degraded for timber, palm oil, pulp, rubber and minerals. The increase in these activities is being matched by a growth in illegal wildlife trade, as cleared forests provide easy access to more remote areas. Deforestation Land conversion Climate change Wildlife hunting and trade Water Mining Logging, land-clearing and conversion activities are considered to be the greatest threats to the Heart of Borneo. Of particular concern is the conversion of natural forests to oil palm and timber plantations. The arrival of 2 alien intruders in the 1950s – the chainsaw and the caterpillar tractor – have perhaps made more impact than any other introduced species. Since then, the opening up of new roads has been a key factor changing Borneo. Roads not only provide access to commercially valuable trees, they also allow immigrant settlers, hunters and land speculators to access new areas of opportunities. © Tantyo Bangun / WWFDeforestation The lure of illegal logging Illegal logging has become a way of life for some communities, with timber being taken from wherever it is accessible, sold to collectors and processed in huge sawmills. In the absence of sufficient alternative economic development, this is an irresistible lure for the local communities. Scale of the problem Satellite studies show that some 56% of protected lowland tropical rainforests in Kalimantan were cut down between 1985 and 2001 to supply global timber demand – that’s more than 29,000 km² (almost the size of Belgium)."

"text": "Orangutans lifespan When Malays became aware of the existence of orangutans they have decided to call them “forest people” or orangutans. This is an interesting and more or less correct description of this type of great ape. Orangutans naturally live in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. The bad news is that this forest is cut down at a very fast rate and their natural habitat is becoming smaller and smaller. This is the reason why they have become an endangered species. Sadly, many locals kill orangutans because they are “ruining” their crop. Needless to say, they are also victims of illegal hunting and trading. It’s good to point out that orangutans are the largest animal that lives on trees. A well-developed male orangutan can be over five feet tall and weigh over 200 pounds. The female representatives of these apes are smaller and they can reach four feet and weight around 100 pounds."

"text": "Habitat Orangutans are found in Indonesia on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. These apes were once widespread throughout mainland Asia during the Pleistocene (3) . Orangutans prefer a habitat that exists along waterways and in lowlands because of their high dependence on fruit. Biologists have described their habitats as inaccessible, swamp logged, leech-laden tropical forests (5) . The islands of Borneo and Sumatra have vast mountain ranges and Orangutans are rarely seen in elevations that exceed 500 meters. An Orangutan's normal habitat is the tropical rainforest that is dominated by trees of the family Dipterocarpaceae, which interestingly enough, is also becoming endangered in parts of the world. In Sumatra, Orangutans are entirely arboreal because of large predators (such as tigers, leopards) patrol the forest floor. Borneo contains fewer large predators so males will travel Terrestrially and feed on the ground, but females will remain in the trees because of their smaller size. In traveling through trees, Orangutans have shown intelligence by using common routes and showing the ability to back track to their original route if need be. Orangutansare slow and deliberateanimals and their movement in the trees reflects this."

The orangutan's favorite fruit is the durian, which has a very pungent flavor and is covered in sharp spikes. Orangutans use their jaws or hard objects to break things like the durians. Orangutans receive different types of oils and sugars from fruit, protein from nuts and carbohydrates from leaves. Fruit, Termite, Bark. vegetables and leaves.

In this instance the biotic referred to is the Sumatran orangutan and the ecosystem in danger is their own. Orangutans prefer to eat fruit and they play a vital role is the dispersal of seeds over a huge area of land. If they were to disappear, so would several tree species, especially those with larger seeds. Thus it is ridiculously important for the survival of the Sumatran orangutan because without them their ecosystem would collapse and every other animal and plant living in the Indonesian forests will struggle to remain alive. Abiotic factors are the non-living factors of the Sumatran rainforest ecosystem that effect the survival of organisms. Some abiotic factors could include: light, temperature, atmospheric gases, forest fires, soil, wind, precipitation, seasons and habitat. The habitat of the orangutan is in danger as a result of deforestation. Not only are the orangutans losing their habitat but so are other species, some marked as critically endangered. Another abiotic factor that affects the survival of every living thing is atmospheric gases."

For example, if a developer decides to build a hotel and needs to chop down part of a forest for the land, he has practiced deforestation. In the past, forests have been cleared for many reasons, including farming and home building. Clear Cutting Is a Contested Practice Clear cutting is when part of a forest is cut down, generally to help certain wildlife prosper or to support a certain type of ecosystem. It is sometimes seen as controversial because while opponents see it as different from deforestation, those who practice it do not. Deforestation Can Result in Fuel, Timber and Land Deforestation facts show that trees are sometimes cut down to be made into fuel or to be used as timber. Sometimes deforestation occurs so that land can be used as a pasture or a farm. In urban and suburban areas, trees may be removed to allow for more housing and shopping centers. Lack of Conservation Can Lead to Deforestation When governments don’t actively create and enforce laws to curb deforestation, it can go unchecked as people attempt to make money by developing land or selling timber for building or fuel. Some governments take an active role in curbing deforestation by enforcing limits and protecting forests and green spaces."

Photo Credit: Akarshan Kumar Wildlife volunteering is a broad topic and there really is something for everyone. Some projects involve really getting your hands dirty in the jungle, but if this does not sound like your thing there are also plenty of other ways to get involved. A big part of wildlife conservation is raising awareness about the reasons why the animal protection is important and why they should be protected. This includes teaching in schools and running workshops and trainings with local communities. Many projects will cover your food and board whilst on placement and if not charge only a small fee but flights, in-country travel, visas, vaccinations and other costs will be those of the volunteer."

Size Orangutans have an enormous arm span. A male may stretch his arms some 7 feet from fingertip to fingertip—a reach considerably longer than his standing height of about 5 feet. When orangutans do stand, their hands nearly touch the ground. Life in the Trees Orangutans' arms are well suited to their lifestyle because they spend much of their time (some 90 percent) in the trees of their tropical rain forest home. They even sleep aloft in nests of leafy branches. They use large leaves as umbrellas and shelters to protect themselves from the common rains. Diet These cerebral primates forage for food during daylight hours."

Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife. Many of the world’s most threatened and endangered animals live in forests, and 1.6 billion people rely on benefits forests offer, including food, fresh water, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. But forests around the world are under threat from deforestation, jeopardizing these benefits. Deforestation comes in many forms, including fires, clear-cutting for agriculture, ranching and development, unsustainable logging for timber, and degradation due to climate change. This impacts people’s livelihoods and threatens a wide range of plant and animal species. We’re losing 18.7 million acres of forests annually, equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute. Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change because they act as a carbon sink—soaking up carbon dioxide that would otherwise be free in the atmosphere and contribute to ongoing changes in climate patterns. Deforestation undermines this important carbon sink function."

All about Palm Oil Production Posted by: Nastassia Green in Uncategorized 1 Comment 743 Views Photo credit: flickr There is a huge variety of products that contain palm oil and it’s hard to imagine our routine without them. Where does palm oil come from? The awareness has been recently rising concerning the question of palm oil and sustainability and the impact that the production of palm oil has on the environment. Contents [ hide]1 Where does palm oil come from?2 The effect of palm oil production on the environment2.1 Deforestation caused by palm oil2.2 Palm oil and orangutans3 Is there any solution? Where does palm oil come from? Palm oil is extracted from the pulp of the oil palm fruit. The plantations are located in South America, New Guinea, Ghana, Indonesia and Malaysia. Oil palm is extremely productive and gives much greater yield than other crops, like sunflower or rapeseed. In addition, the prices for this oil are relatively low as the labor cost is low as well."

An ape is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates. Apes are divided into two groups, lesser apes and great apes. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans (humans are also usually falsely included in this category. Of course they want to falsely think they evolved from animals, since they live like beasts and worse like beasts!). Though all these varieties belong to the same group of apes, they have several differences among them. For instance, gibbons are monogamous and territorial pair-bonders, while orangutans mainly live alone. Gorillas wander in small troops, under a single male leader and the chimpanzees generally live in larger troops. Gorillas and chimpanzees inhabit the tropical Africa, whereas orangutans are generally found in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo. Apes, in general, are the most intelligent of all the animals found on earth."

The subspecies was saved when Russia became the first country in the world to grant the tiger full protection. By the 1980s, the Amur tiger population had increased to around 500. Although poaching increased after the collapse of the Soviet Union, continued conservation and antipoaching efforts by many partners—including WWF—have helped keep the population stable at around 540 individuals. The Amur tiger’s habitat is now restricted to the Sikhote-Alin range in the Primorski and Khabarovsk provinces of the Russian Far East, small pockets in the border areas of China and possibly in North Korea. The high latitude means long winters and that the sun does not rise far above the horizon. Amur tigers have the largest home range of any tiger subspecies because they have to search over large areas to find food due to low prey densities.

Orangutans are currently only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan ( P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan ( P. abelii ). In November 2017 it was reported that a third species had been identified, the Tapanuli orangutan ( P. tapanuliensis ). [ 2] [3] [4]Genomic comparisons show that the Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Sumatran orangutan about 3.4 million years ago. The Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Bornean orangutan much later, about 670,000 years ago.

Oil palms are originally from Western Africa, but can flourish wherever heat and rainfall are abundant. Today, palm oil is grown throughout Africa, Asia, North America, and South America, with 85% of all palm oil globally produced and exported from Indonesia and Malaysia; but most of the time not using sustainable measures. The industry is linked to major issues such as deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it is produced, as the land and forests must be cleared for the development of the oil palm plantations. According to the World Wildlife Fund, an area the equivalent size of 300 football fields of rainforest is cleared each hour to make way for palm oil production. This large-scale deforestation is pushing many species to extinction, and findings show that if nothing changes species like the orangutan could become extinct in the wild within the next 5-10 years, and Sumatran tigers less than 3 years. In total, tens of millions of tons of palm oil is produced annually, accounting for over 30% of the world’s vegetable oil production.

"text": "Threats to Borneo forests The Heart of Borneo under siege As in many tropical areas around the world, Borneo’s rainforests are being cut and degraded for timber, palm oil, pulp, rubber and minerals. The increase in these activities is being matched by a growth in illegal wildlife trade, as cleared forests provide easy access to more remote areas. Deforestation Land conversion Climate change Wildlife hunting and trade Water Mining Logging, land-clearing and conversion activities are considered to be the greatest threats to the Heart of Borneo. Of particular concern is the conversion of natural forests to oil palm and timber plantations. The arrival of 2 alien intruders in the 1950s – the chainsaw and the caterpillar tractor – have perhaps made more impact than any other introduced species. Since then, the opening up of new roads has been a key factor changing Borneo. Roads not only provide access to commercially valuable trees, they also allow immigrant settlers, hunters and land speculators to access new areas of opportunities. © Tantyo Bangun / WWFDeforestation The lure of illegal logging Illegal logging has become a way of life for some communities, with timber being taken from wherever it is accessible, sold to collectors and processed in huge sawmills. In the absence of sufficient alternative economic development, this is an irresistible lure for the local communities. Scale of the problem Satellite studies show that some 56% of protected lowland tropical rainforests in Kalimantan were cut down between 1985 and 2001 to supply global timber demand – that’s more than 29,000 km² (almost the size of Belgium)."

Millions of acres of forest have been cleared to create palm oil farms. What's so wrong with palm oil, from the palm trees that bear fruit, not coconuts? Well, if you listen to environmentalists and animal-rights advocates along with nutrition and health experts, they'll tell you it's something close to poison. Once the United States and other Western countries began condemning and banning trans-fat oils a few years ago, palm oil became a popular substitute. You can find it in shampoo, lipstick, soap and a host of snack and other foods, including some ketchups, margarine, chewing gum, candy bars and cooking oil. Oil-palm trees, as they're called, are grown primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia, and that's where the problems begin. To create oil-palm farms, the two states have cleared millions of acres of tropical forest. In all of the 1980s, Indonesia cleared 674,000 acres, but by 2009 the total had reached 18 million. The two states, together, have clear-cut an area roughly the size of Denmark, an environmental journal reported - all to plant oil-palm plantations."

The current, 21st-century meaning of \"\"hominid\"\" includes all the great apes including humans. Usage still varies, however, and some scientists and laypersons still use \"\"hominid\"\" in the original restrictive sense; the scholarly literature generally shows the traditional usage until around the turn of the 21st century. [ 4]Within the taxon Hominidae, a number of extant and known extinct, that is, fossil, genera are grouped with the humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas in the subfamily Homininae; others with orangutans in the subfamily Ponginae (see classification graphic below)."

As like most other animals, butterflies are prey and animals and insects rely on them and caterpillars for nutrition. Caterpillars also would be extinct because they are the pupae of the butterflies. Caterpillars consume almost 20% of the leaves, which gives other organisms a chance to somehow get the same nutrition. Butterflies though, are definitely an important pollinator and contribute to the distributing of pollen and the seeding and blooming of trees and flowers. Many butterflies are closely linked to specific plants and habitats, so an increase or decrease in their diversity tells us about the changing quality of a place and the impact of that change on other animals, and on the web of life.9 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Growing to lengths of over 50 feet, the massive adult humpback whale has few natural predators. These marine mammals are found in most of the world’s oceans and undertake extensive annual migrations between their tropical breeding grounds and the colder polar waters where they feed. Researchers estimate there are between 18,000 and 20,000 humpback whales in the northern Pacific Ocean, and around 15,000 in the southern hemisphere migrating between Australia and Antarctica. Orcas Transient killer whales prey on marine mammals, and are one of the humpback whale’s main predators. They attack calves and younger animals more frequently, and most humpback whales have scars as a result of prior orca attacks, including drag marks on their tails. Pacific humpbacks breed in the tropical waters around Hawaii, a location researchers presume was chosen because orcas rarely swim in warmer tropical waters. Sharks The most aggressive shark species, including great white and tiger sharks, often prey on humpback whales, usually targeting young calves or adults who are sick or otherwise in distress. Great white sharks have been observed off the coast of Australia following humpback whales as they migrate to their breeding grounds, and many adult humpbacks carry the distinctive rake marks of great white teeth along their sides. A shark attack on a humpback is a war of attrition, with the shark continually biting at the whale until it can no longer swim. The whale’s blood in the water attracts more sharks to join the fray."

But much of what we have here in the Gulf of California also exists in the Gulf of Mexico, but they are far fewer and it is much bigger, so sightings are rare. I have sailed across the Gulf of Mexico many times and currently live (during late Fall and all Winter and Spring) on the Gulf of California (in Mexico) aka Sea of Cortes to the USA. So forgive my exuberance. Yes, there are Orcas, like this video shows in my town of San Carlos, Sonora. In addition to Orcas (my daughters favorite) there are Humpback, Sperm, Grey and even Blue whales. According to this source (The Whales of Baja) there are as many species of whales in the Sea of Cortes as those that visit the Pacific side of the Baja. \"\" Although the lagoons of the Pacific side are well known as the winter birthing grounds of the gray whale, the Sea of Cortez is actually frequented by as many species of whales as is the Pacific side of Baja.

The biggest threat to dolphins is human activity, as they have very few enemies in their natural habitat. The Amazon, the Ganges, and the Yangtze river dolphin are critically endangered species, owing to human interference. Dolphins belong to the family Delphinidae, which also include orcas and pilot whales―all of whom are cetacean mammals. Usually, the smaller cetaceans who have an elongated nose are referred to as 'dolphins'; the larger specimens are called whales. Their habitats are found all over the world, and thus what dolphins eat varies to a great extent. Being carnivores, their diet mainly comprises fish and squid, and the amount of food they consume depends upon their size.

The killer whale (Orcinus orca) is also known as orca or orca whale, and rarely referred to as blackfish. The whale is a toothed whale and it belongs to the oceanic dolphin family. These whales are known to survive in almost all the major oceans including Arctic, Antarctic and other tropical regions. They have a greater variation in their diets, even though individual populations usually specialize in specific types of prey. There are few species that largely feed on fish, while others prey on several marine mammals including seals, walruses, sea lions, and other whale species. Killer whales are termed as apex predators, lacking normal predators. Killer whales are highly regarded as social mammals and some species are consists of matrilineal groups which are by far the most steady animals species. Some of their attributes including their vocalizations and hunting methods are often described as manifestations of culture.

For most of the people whale is a fish, but it isn’t true because whale is basically a mammal belongs to the order Cetaceans, i.e. a highly specialized order of mammals. Whales are broadly categorized into two groups characterized by the presence or absence of teeth, i.e. Odontoceti and Mysticeti. Being mammal in nature, whales do breathe air. Whales normally feed their young ones on their milk for almost a year. During this time, the young ones stay with the mother. Whales are also warm blooded creature with a proper skeleton structure. Although, whales can be seen commonly in the oceans all across the world, these are more common in the Arctic and the Antarctica. This is so because whales enjoy living in cold, deep waters. Whales have also been seen in the warm waters of Hawaii, Bahamas and The Gulf of Mexico along with the eastern coast of America."

We were sailing through the San Juan Islands, an archipelago of hundreds of isles between mainland Canada, Vancouver Island and Washington state's northwestern coast. As we cruised north from Seattle, rolling hills were replaced by dark green forests and rocky bluffs that overlooked fiord-like inlets. Eagles soared, mountain sheep clung to steep hillsides and harbor seals hauled out to nap on the shoreline. It had been overcast and drizzling all morning, but as we approached Friday Harbor, our San Juan Island destination, the clouds parted as if on cue. I saw palatial homes, mega-yachts in the harbor and a pretty little town marching down a hillside to the sea, all competing with unspoiled nature for attention. Nature won, no contest.

Hypothesis Southwest Alaskan Sea Otter ( Enhydra Lutris Kenyoni) populations are declining and becoming endangered because of the pollution surrounding their habitats and ecosystem. Data Conclusion The actual cause of the decline of Southwest Alaska's sea otter population is unknown. There are several theories, including killer whale predation, environmental concerns, and disease, about why sea otter populations have declined although more research is needed to define a definite cause. Although the environment hasn't been extensively researched, chemical toxins, like PCB, could play a major role into Aleutian sea otter populations declining. Hopefully, this will be enough to save sea otters without knowing the cause of their decline. Happily, there is hope for the Northern sea otter because the U. S.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with circularly polarized light. Optical rotation or optical activity (sometimes referred to as rotary polarization) is the rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials. Optical activity occurs only in chiral materials, those lacking microscopic mirror symmetry. Unlike other sources of birefringence which alter a beam's state of polarization, optical activity can be observed in fluids. This can include gases or solutions of chiral molecules such as sugars, molecules with helical secondary structure such as some proteins, and also chiral liquid crystals. It can also be observed in chiral solids such as certain crystals with a rotation between adjacent crystal planes (such as quartz) or metamaterials. Rotation of light's plane of polarization may also occur through the Faraday effect which involves a static magnetic field, however this is a distinct phenomenon that is not usually classified under \"\"optical activity. \"\" The rotation of the plane of polarization may be either clockwise, to the right ( dextrorotary — d-rotary), or left ( levorotary — l-rotary) depending on which stereoisomer is present (or dominant). For instance, sucrose and camphor are d-rotary whereas cholesterol is l-rotary. For a given substance, the angle by which the polarization of light of a specified wavelength is rotated is proportional to the path length through the material and (for a solution) proportional to its concentration."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Dissolution (chemistry))navigation search\"\"Soluble\"\" redirects here. For the algebraic object called a \"\"soluble group\"\", see Solvable group. Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as on temperature, pressure and the p H of the solution. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration, where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution and begins to precipitate the excess amount of solute. Most often, the solvent is a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture. One may also speak of solid solution, but rarely of solution in a gas (see vapor–liquid equilibrium instead). Under certain conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable. [ 1] Metastability of crystals can also lead to apparent differences in the amount of a chemical that dissolves depending on its crystalline form or particle size. A supersaturated solution generally crystallises when 'seed' crystals are introduced and rapid equilibration occurs."

Unlike proteins , polysaccharides , and nucleic acids, lipids are much smaller, water-insoluble molecules. They are synthesized in association with a cellular organelle called the smooth endoplasmic reticulum . In a word, they are, as their etymology suggests, fats. Several types of fats are made from fatty acids. Fatty acids are long, unbranched chains of hydrocarbons (typically made up of fourteen to twenty carbons) with a terminal organic acid group. In cartoon figures, fatty acids are often drawn as lollypops, consisting of long hydrocarbon \"\"tails\"\" and circular, polar \"\"heads.\"\" When free in cells, the acidic heads give the fatty acids a negative charge, which is lost when the molecules are linked chemically with glycerol to form glycerides. Possibly the most common fat is a glyceride, which consists of fatty acids linked to glycerol (a three-carbon alcohol). Triglycerides are the most prevalent glyceride; they each contain three fatty acids, and because they are used almost exclusively for the storage of biological energy, they are the most common component of body fat."

"text": "\"last updated Monday, March 21, 2016Drying Agents Drying agents (also called desiccants) come in various forms and have found widespread use in the foods, pharmaceuticals, packing, electronics and many manufacturing industries. A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that induces or sustains a state of dryness in its vicinity. Ideally, it is chemically stable and chemically inert (i.e., silica). Unfortunately, this is not always the case in the chemistry lab because the drying agent comes into direct contact with the solvent and the chemical. Many organic solvents are immiscible with aqueous solutions, but they are able to dissolve significant amounts of water because of their polarity i.e., diethyl ether dissolves 7 % of its weight in water while tetrahydrofuran is completely miscible with water ( Why? ). Unfortunately, water is a compound that is very difficult to remove from many compounds, because they are either holding on to it well (i.e., alcohols) or the compound itself is steam volatile. Bottom-line is that the more polar the solvent is, the more hygroscopic it will usually be because it dissolves the water better. Thus, removing water and other impurities from a solution can become an arduous task but is necessary if the reagents are also sensitive towards water i.e., Grignard reagents or in cases where water has a detrimental effect on the yield or rate of the reaction. In those cases, drying agents like calcium hydride (Ca H 2 ), sodium metal (in combination with benzophenone) or lithium aluminum hydride (Li Al H 4) are used to chemically destroy the water in the solvent. Those compounds are relatively reactive and difficult to handle and usually not used in lower division undergraduate laboratories (see below)."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics Define DNA polarity? Flag Define DNA polarity? Answer by Rosie Mary Confidence votes 85In DNA polarity refers to the direction that the molecule is synthesised in. Directionality is important as the genetic code must be read. One end of the molecule is a phosphate - labelled 5' (5 prime) At the other is a hydroxyl group - labelled 3'. It is the polar hydroxyl group that relates to the name 'polarity'. Nucleotides are added to the hydroxyl group, therefore we say it is synthesised in the 5'-3' direction. As DNA is double-stranded and anti-parallel the opposite strand is in the 3'-5' direction - this strand therefore lags behind in replication. I hope this helps you a little!4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

In this lesson, learn about the methyl group in chemistry, including its unique structure and formula. What Is a Methyl Group? In chemistry, the methyl group is one tiny guy. But what this diminutive group lacks in size, it more than makes up for in popularity: it's not unusual to find it attached to a wide variety of organic molecules. A methyl group is a molecule that contains one carbon atom surrounded by three hydrogen atoms; it belongs to an organic family called the alkyl group. The alkyl group is a type of functional group where all the members contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Hence, it makes sense why a methyl group would belong to this particular functional group. In the following diagram, which we will refer to as diagram 1, you'll find a few of methyl group's brothers and sisters in the alkyl family."

The four pairs repel one another, forming a tetrahedral pattern. In this way they are as far from one another as possible. The molecule itself (the spatial distribution of atoms) is described as 'bent', 'angular' or 'non-linear'. The two electrons in each oxygen-hydrogen bond are not shared equally. They are more strongly attracted to the oxygen atom. The bond is polar, it has a 'negative end' (the oxygen atom) and a 'positive end' (the hydrogen atom)."

"text": "The Chemical Compounds Behind the Aroma of Coffee Click to enlarge Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or completely unfussy about the manner in which you get your caffeine fix, there’s no denying that the smell of freshly-brewed coffee in the morning is an invigorating one. The chemistry behind this aroma, though, is far from simple; a complex collection of chemical compounds are responsible, and this graphic takes a look at a selection of these. We’ve taken a look at chemical compounds found in coffee beans previously, but then we were primarily concerned with what causes the bitter notes in the flavour of coffee, as well as looking at some of the more obvious compounds present, such as caffeine. Generally, the majority of the molecules mentioned in that post aren’t big players when it comes to coffee’s aroma. Kick-starting your day with caffeine might be the goal of the morning coffee, but caffeine itself is odourless as well as essentially tasteless, at least as far as coffee’s concerned, and instead it’s a range of other compounds that contribute to the scent. Specifically, we’re talking volatile compounds – organic compounds that easily evaporate at room temperature and pressure. Compounds have to be airborne in order for our nose to be able to detect their smell, so it follows that any compounds that are particularly large (for example, the melanoidins that contribute to coffee’s colouration) will have low volatilities, and won’t contribute to the aroma. That leaves us with the slightly more modestly-sized molecules shown in the graphic. But where do these come from? There are a number of different ways in which coffee’s aroma compounds are created, but they’re all commonly produced as a consequence of the roasting process."

EXPERIMENT 8 Chromatography INTRODUCTIONSeparation of a mixture into its pure components is an essential part of organic chemistry. For example, a chemist may want to purify the crude extract of a medicinal plant, isolate the pure product (s) of a chemical reaction from the reaction mixture, or identify foreign compounds in a sample. You may have noticed that the standard operating procedures in this course covered basic separation and purification techniques: recrystallization, distillation, and extraction. This experiment will add a fourth: chromatography. BACKGROUNDAll of these techniques are similar insofar as they take advantage of differences in physical properties between various compounds. Recrystallization and extraction take advantage of the fact that compounds may have different solubilities in a particular solvent. Distillation uses variations in boiling points between liquids. As you will see, chromatography will primarily use a different property, polarity, to separate a mixture."

The pigments after separation appeared as colour bands that can come out of the column one by one. Tswett was the first to use the term \"\"chromatography\"\" derived from two Greek words \"\"Chroma\"\" meaning color and \"\"graphein\"\" meaning to write. Definition of Chromatography Tswett (1906) stated that \"\" chromatography is a method in which the components of a mixture are separated on adsorbent column in a flowing system”. I UPAC definition (International Union of pure and applied Chemistry) (1993): Chromatography is a physical method of separation in which the components to be separated are distributed between two phases, one of which is stationary while the other moves in a definite direction. The stationary phase may be a solid, or a liquid supported on a solid or gel, the mobile phase may be either a gas or a liquid. Principles of Chromatography Chromatography is a physical process. Any Chromatography system is composed of three Components : Stationary phase Mobile phase Mixture to be separated We can only control stationary and mobile phase as mixtures are the problem we have to deal with. Chromatography is a dynamic process in which the mobile phase moves in definite direction. Classification of Chromatography Methods Different methods were attempted for classification of chromatography: A – According to mechanism of separation: The mechanism of separation depends mainly on the nature of the stationary phase."

These micellar aggregates help transport the digestive products of lipids to the intestine to be absorbed. Also, they are used as detergents. A portion of the food we eat is made of oils and fats. These are degraded during digestion in the stomach, by a lipase enzyme, into lipid-like compounds, including fatty acids. Additional degradation takes place in the pancreas using a different lipase. The lipases are water soluble, unlike the compounds they degrade. Degradation requires the help of biological detergents known as bile salts, secreted by the gall bladder and liver. Micelles are produced from the bile salts that help make the fatty acids, and other lipid breakdown products, available for degradation by a lipase."

Functional groups will undergo the same type of reactions regardless of the compound of which they are a part; however, the presence of certain functional groups within close proximity can limit reactivity. Functional groups can be used to distinguish similar compounds from each other. Key Termsfunctional group: A specific grouping of elements that is characteristic of a class of compounds, and determines some properties and reactions of that class.functionalization: Addition of specific functional groups to afford the compound new, desirable properties. The Role of Functional Groups In organic chemistry, a functional group is a specific group of atoms or bonds within a compound that is responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of that compound. The same functional group will behave in a similar fashion, by undergoing similar reactions, regardless of the compound of which it is a part. Functional groups also play an important part in organic compound nomenclature; combining the names of the functional groups with the names of the parent alkanes provides a way to distinguish compounds. The atoms of a functional group are linked together and to the rest of the compound by covalent bonds. The first carbon atom that attaches to the functional group is referred to as the alpha carbon; the second, the beta carbon; the third, the gamma carbon, etc."

For example, 1,3,5-hexatriene is much more reactive than hexane, hexene, or any hexadiene. Benzene is much less reactive than any of these. Any of the alkenes will be readily converted to alcohols in the presence of a dilute aqueous solution of H 2 SO 4, but benzene is inert. Similarly, alkenes react readily with halogens and hydrogen halides by addition to give alkyl halides, whereas halogens react with benzene by substitution and only in the presence of a catalyst. KMn O 4 or chromic acid solutions (typically Cr O 3 or K 2 Cr 2 O 7) cleave the double bonds of alkenes, giving ketones or carboxylic acids, but do not react at all with benzene. Because of the stability of aromatic compounds, however, reactions involving these have extremely high activation energies, for passage to the transition state necessarily requires disruption of the aromatic system, resulting in a temporary loss of aromatic stabilization energy. Instead of reacting by addition and elimination, as nonaromatic compounds often do, benzene and its derivatives usually react by electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Organizational costs usually include legal and promotional fees to establish the company with the state and federal government. In other words, organizational expenses are the costs of organizing or incorporating a company. What Does Organizational Cost Mean? Before a company exists, the soon-to-be owners of a company meet with an attorney to draft a corporate charter and articles of incorporation (for corporations) or partnership agreement (for partnerships). These legal documents establish the agreements between each one of the shareholders or partners in the new entity. Items that can be addressed in these documents include ownership percentage, stock options, profit share percentage, among others. Once these documents are drafted, the attorney files them with the applicable government organization and applies for a state business license and ID number. A federal number can then be applied for once the state has granted a business entity license. Example As you can imagine, this process is not free."

GAAP requires that financial statements be prepared on an accrual basis and that, consequently, the reporting entity is required to accrue a liability for income taxes owed or expected to be owed with respect to income tax returns filed or to be filed for all applicable tax years and in all applicable jurisdictions. A longstanding debate has involved the controversial recognition of benefits (or reduced obligations) related to income tax positions that are uncertain or aggressive and which, if challenged, have a more-than-slight likelihood of not being sustained, resulting in the need to pay additional income taxes, often with interest and—sometimes—penalties added. Advertisement Preparers have objected to presenting income tax obligations for such positions, often on the not unreasonable theory that to do so would provide taxing authorities with a ”road map” to the challengeable income tax positions taken by the reporting entity. Since I posted about “ Learn Accounting for Income Tax in 1 Minute ”, I received bounce of e-mails contain confusions around the accounting for income tax. Talking about accounting for income tax, distinguishing between temporary and permanent difference is the most challenging part before deferred tax [liability and asset]. A comprehensive description and guideline is definitely required. So, in this post, I will be focus on this issue. Read on…Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes [ASC 740-10-05]With the June 2006 issuance of ASC 740-10-05, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, uncertain income tax positions were to become subject to formal recognition and measurement criteria, as well as to extended disclosure requirements under GAAP. To respond to the concerns of its private company constituents, FASB granted a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASC 740-10-05 for certain nonpublic enterprises. As the end of the deferral period approaches, those same constituents are requesting either an outright exemption for nonpublic enterprises or an additional deferral until the conclusion of an ongoing joint project between the FASB and IASB to converge US GAAP and IFRS income tax accounting standards."

Therefore, one issue that businesses and multinational organizations used to face was to prepare the financial statements of different regions that are comparable, transparent, relevant, and reliable so that complex accounting operations are managed effectively. In order to overcome this obstacle, accounting bodies were set up in different countries to effectively manage the accounting operations and financial statements. Mostly, different countries have their own accounting bodies, where accounting standards are designed according to the specific requirements and laws of that country. In the United States, also known as GAAP, are used for this purpose. GAAP is a set of accounting standards that provide guidelines and define procedures set by the accounting professional organizations, and are used to prepare the financial statements of a company. Whereas, in Australia, there is the Australian Government company, known as the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that is responsible to develop, issue and maintain accounting standards according to the Australian law."

"text": "INTELLECTUAL CAPITALIntellectual capital is the term used to describe the intangible assets provided to an entity by its employees' efforts and also knowledge assets such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other results of human innovation and thought. Intellectual capital is often disaggregated into four categories: Legally recognized intangible assets such as patents, copyrights, and franchises that are purchased Legally salable and protected intangible assets such as trademarks, brands, customer lists, and customer orders Structural intangible assets such as the systems and databases used within the company; examples of these systems are the information system, accounting system, purchasing system, and sales system Human capital intangible assets such as what is in the minds of the individuals who work for the company; an example is the knowledge that researchers in a pharmaceutical company might have in their minds of past experiments and their results SIGNIFICANCE IN CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONSThe nature of business activity in the United States changed dramatically during the second half of the twentieth century. Jobs in service-producing industries increased greatly. At the same time, manufacturing, farming, construction, and other goods-producing jobs fell. The U. S. economy underwent a basic change in the ways the labor force is employed. While earlier the most significant businesses were industrial enterprises, with the largest segment of the labor force involved in the production of goods, in the twenty-first century U. S. economy, employment in service businesses exceeds that of employment in the production of goods. In service businesses, and even in industrial and retail enterprises, there is general recognition that astute knowledge management leads to innovation and value creation, and therefore company success. Within the workforce of a company reside the individuals who have the knowledge that represents intellectual capital. INADEQUACY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLESGenerally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which establish what is recorded and reported in an entity's financial statements, ignore an entity's workforce as an asset and also ignore most of the other intangible assets possessed. The stock market analysts, on the other hand, appear to recognize such assets in determining a company's worth, as well as a company's future profit prospects."

"text": "Management Accounting Management accounting involves collecting, analyzing, and presenting financial information used to help company management make sound business decisions. This would include everything from providing detailed financial statements for different divisions within a large company, to analyzing the financial impact of a potential expansion or business acquisition. Management accounting is at the center of almost every significant business decision made. Management accountants are called upon to assess whether a company’s current products and processes are still viable. By comparing data on the projected profits generated by a line of business against the cost of shutting it down, management accountants can determine if operations should be discontinued. In this scenario, a comprehensive analysis would involve consolidating human resource data to assess the costs of potential layoffs, and using data from engineering and marketing to decide whether a new product needs to be added to the production line. A complete analysis of this nature would also consider the potential profits that could come from using resources from a discontinued line of business elsewhere. Management accountants prepare detailed analyses of both business problems and opportunities. Their reports are ultimately used to assist a company’s senior management in making the major decisions that determine the company’s financial success. How Management Accounting Differs from Other Accounting Practices The accounting methods used by management accountants differ from those used by traditional accountants, financial controllers, and internal auditors whose jobs are focused on providing reports to external users."

"text": "\"Background on: Insurance Accounting THE TOPICMARCH 2014Accounting is a system of recording, analyzing and verifying an organization’s financial status. In the United States, all corporate accounting is governed by a common set of accounting rules, known as generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, established by the independent Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) currently requires publicly owned companies to follow these rules. Over time, both organizations intend to align their standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accounting rules have evolved over time and for different users. Before the 1930s corporate accounting focused on management and creditors as the end users. Since then GAAP has increasingly addressed investors’ need to be able to evaluate and compare financial performance from one reporting period to the next and among companies. In addition, GAAP has emphasized “transparency,” meaning that accounting rules must be understandable by knowledgeable people, the information included in financial statements must be reliable and companies must fully disclose all relevant and significant information. Special accounting rules also evolved for industries with a fiduciary responsibility to the public such as banks and insurance companies. To protect insurance company policyholders, states began to monitor solvency."

FASAB will assist Do D by providing practical guidance to resolve long-standing issues identified by Do D. Specifically, the primary objectives will be to resolve the issues within the framework of existing accounting standards and where necessary provide the appropriate guidance to address remaining issues. The purpose of this project is to address areas the board believes may warrant FASAB action separate from ongoing projects. These areas are (1) use of reasonable baseline estimates of the cost of inventory and operating materials, (2) accounting treatment of deployed assets, and (3) timing of capitalization of research and development efforts given spiral development efforts. HISTORY OF BOARD DELIBERATIONS (reverse chronology)June 21-22, 2017 Board Meeting At the June 2017 meeting, the Board request from the Department of Defense (Do D) related to Do D intragovernmental activities/costs. Staff proposed the following flexibilities for component reporting entities other than those conducting business-type activities that are consolidated in the Do D financial statements: Inter-entity, including intra-departmental, costs addressed in SFFAS 4, Managerial Cost Accounting Standards and Concepts (including Interpretation 6, Accounting for Imputed Intra-departmental Costs: An Interpretation of SFFAS 4 ), need not be imputed. Concepts state that an asset would be recognized by the component entity that has a comprehensive relationship to it. This may be different than the component reporting entity that has legal title to or funded the asset. Assets may be assigned to component reporting entities on any basis. With the exception of cleanup costs intended to be covered by rates charged in a business-type activity, Do D may assign cleanup cost liabilities to component reporting entities on any basis."

Under IFRSs, IAS 2, Inventories, is the primary source of guidance on accounting for inventories. Both U. S. GAAP and IFRSs define inventories as assets that are (1) held for sale in the ordinary course of business, (2) used in the process of production for sale, or (3) materials or supplies to be consumed in the production of inventory or in the rendering of services. 1 The cost of inventory under both U. S. GAAP and IFRSs generally includes direct expenditures of getting inventories ready for sale, including overhead and other costs attributable to the purchase or production of inventory. IAS 2 includes specific scope exceptions for (1) inventories held by producers of agricultural and forest products, agricultural produce after harvest, and minerals and mineral products, to the extent that they are measured at net realizable value in accordance with well-established practices in those industries, and (2) inventories of commodity broker-traders who measure their inventories at fair value less cost to sell. Under U. S. GAAP, similar guidance is provided in (1) ASC 905-330, which allows for measurement of inventories at net realizable value in certain circumstances in the agricultural industry; and (2) ASC 940-320-30-2 and ASC 946-10-15-2, which allow for measurement of certain inventories at fair market value in the financial services industry.

GAAP is short for generally accepted accounting principles. GAAP accounting standards offer uniformity in how companies report their financial performance. However, income statements reported based on GAAP don't always reflect the ongoing performance of a companies underlying operations. For example, a company may write-down an asset or restructure its organization. These actions usually come with large one-time costs that distort company profits. As such, a company will also provide an \"\"adjusted\"\" earnings number that excludes these nonrecurring items. \"\" We believe that the best EPS measure for valuation purposes sits somewhere between pro forma and GAAP EPS, where in between varies by company, industry and sector,\"\" wrote Deutsche Bank's David Bianco in December 12 note to clients. \"\" Although pro forma EPS can overstate true EPS, GAAP EPS can understate true EPS. \"\" Bianco discusses how these discrepancies fluctuate with economic cycles: S&P 500 GAAP EPS has both a cyclical and secular tendency to understate EPS appropriate for valuation."

"text": "A: Cost accounting is distinct and separate from general financial accounting, which is regulated by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is critical for creating financial statements. Instead, cost accounting aims to report, analyze and lead to the improvement of inter-business cost control and efficiency. Cost accounting is a system of operational analysis for management. The Scope and Nature of Cost Accounting Even though cost accounting is commonly referred to as a costing method, the scope of cost accounting is broader than just costing. In cost accounting, there are elements of traditional bookkeeping, system development, creating measurable information and input analysis. Modern methods of cost accounting first emerged in the manufacturing industries, though its advantages helped it spread quickly to other sectors. For many firms, cost accounting helps create and measure business strategy in a more organic way. Financial accounting and cost accounting systems can be differentiated based on their respective target audiences. Financial accounting is designed to help those who don't have access to inside business information, such as shareholders, lenders and regulators (i.e. the consumers who analyze financial statements). Alternatively, cost accounting is meant for those who are inside the organization and are responsible for making critical decisions."

"text": "\"mongoose Facts Although they appear remarkably similar to weasels in form and lifestyle, mongooses are actually members of the superfamily feliforma, or \"\"cat-like\"\" carnivores, while weasels are in the superfamily caniforma or \"\"dog-like\"\" carnivores. 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\"\"."

There are approximately 10 different species of lemur inhabiting the island where the lemurs spend most of their time in the trees. Lemurs are best known for their large, round reflective eyes and their wailing screams. Lemurs also have furry, pointed ears and long tails, with lemurs often being compared to both monkeys and squirrels. The lemur will eat most small things from berries, nuts and leaves to insects and spiders and therefore the lemur has an omnivorous diet. Lemurs get most of their food from the surrounding trees but lemurs will occasionally forage for grub on the forest floor if they have no luck in the branches. The black and white ruffed lemur, the russet mouse lemur, the woolly lemur, the aye aye and the ring tail lemur are among the most common species of lemur found in Madagascar, although the Aye Aye is considered to be a species of lemur very different from the rest, mainly due to the long middle fingers of the aye aye which it uses to get food out of holes. There are four main types of lemur containing nearly 100 different lemur subspecies between them. The biggest threat to the lemur is deforestation, with around 90% of the Madagascan jungle having been destroyed. This means that the lemur populations are declining rapidly as the lemur has fewer trees to make its home in."

"text": "From the Field Island Mongoose: Conservation Villain or Scapegoat? Or Both? By Matthew L. Miller April 1, 2015Follow Matthew L. A non-native mongoose in a live trap. Photo: Buzz Hoagland It sounds like your standard invasive species narrative: Mongoose is introduced to island to control pests, mongoose instead eats native species. And that’s true, at least in part. Conservationists have long regarded mongooses as an enemy to native wildlife and ecosystems. Undoubtedly, they are a threat to some species. But they may not be a threat to others. The fact is, mongooses are elusive and difficult to study. Sometimes they outwit live traps, as this camera trap footage demonstrates: Mongoose_stealing_eating_wing Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."

The distinguishing characteristic of mammals is that the mother nourishes newborn young with milk produced by special glands. Mammals also have several other distinguishing features. Hair is common among mammals and can take many forms, including whiskers, spines and fur. All mammals breathe air, so even those living in water must surface to take a breath. Two types of mammals—the platypus and the echidnas—lay eggs, but all others give birth to live babies. Like birds, all mammals are warm-blooded. That means they generate their own body heat through metabolism, so they can stay warmer than their surroundings, day or night, sun or shade. Mammals can be carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.

"text": "Sea Otter: Mongoose Ruddy Expert 27.5+, Argus fat bike and Argus kid’s fat bike Mongoose continues to expand their big wheeled bikes for 2016Tweet By Gregg Kato April 30, 2015 Fat Bike Kids Plus Sea Otter Classic Mongoose continues their tradition of making big wheeled mountain bikes at affordable prices (click to enlarge). Mongoose has really made a name for themselves by providing very cheap inexpensive fat bikes for riders. Their original fat bike was called the Beast and sold in big box stores for less than $200. They followed that simple singlespeed fat bike with cruiser like geometry up with a more mountain bike-ish model called the Dolomite. The Dolomite had more aggressive geometry and more importantly, it had gears. But it was still quite heavy. Last summer, I covered Mongoose’s release of the Argus, an alloy framed fat bike that cost a bit more money, but provided a platform that was upgrade worthy and lighter. Now, Mongoose is at it again with an updated version of the Argus and they have added a cousin to the lineup. The Ruddy Expert 27.5+ is a mid-fat bike (dare we say “baby fat bike”) that rolls on the increasingly popular 27.5+ wheel/tire size. They have even followed up their steel framed kid’s fat bike (the Massif) with an alloy framed junior version called the Argus Kids."

A sun bear. Getty Images Carnivores—by which we mean, for the purposes of this article, meat-eating mammals—come in all shapes and sizes. On the following slides, you'll learn about the 15 basic groups, or families, of carnivores, ranging from the familiar (dogs and cats) to the more exotic (kinkajous and linsangs).02of 16Dogs, Wolves and Foxes (Family Canidae)The Arctic Wolf. Getty Images As you already know if you own a golden retriever or a labradoodle, canids are characterized by their long legs, bushy tails, and narrow muzzles, not to mention their powerful teeth and jaws suited (in some species) for crushing bone and gristle. Dogs ( Canis familiaris) are by far the most common canid species, but this family also includes wolves, foxes, jackals and dingoes. These loyal carnivores have a deep evolutionary history, tracing their heritage all the way back to the middle Cenozoic Era (see 40 Million Years of Dog Evolution ).03of 16Lions, Tigers, and Other Cats (Family Felidae)The Siberian Tiger. Wikimedia Commons Usually the first animals that spring to mind when people say the word \"\"carnivore,\"\" lions, tigers, pumas, cougars, panthers, and house cats are all intimately related members of the Felidae family. Felids are characterized by their slender builds, sharp teeth, ability to climb trees, and mostly solitary habits (unlike canids, which tend to congregate in social groups, cats prefer to hunt alone). Unlike most other meat-eating mammals, cats are \"\"hypercarnivorous,\"\" meaning they obtain all or most of their nutrition from prey animals (even tabbies can be considered hypercarnivores, since soft cat food and kibble is made of meat).04of 16Bears (Family Ursidae)The Brown Bear."

This nocturnal lemur lives in the rainforests of Madagascar and feeds on insect larvae that it finds by tapping on tree bark with its stick-like middle finger. As it taps, the aye-aye listens for movement indicative of insects and gnaws away at the wood when it hears something appetizing. Today the aye-aye is highly threatened by habitat loss (rainforest destruction) and hunting. In some areas, local people believe the aye-aye brings bad luck and will kill the animal whenever they encounter it.

Since Hawai'i has no squirrels this must be our very own Rikky-Tikky-Tavi, the Small Asian Mongoose. Known also by it's Hawaiian name of 'Iole manakuke (or just manakuke), the word 'Iole means 'rat' and manakuke means mongoose. It is not easy taking pictures of mongooses (not mongeese :) - they are very small, sleek, and run at unbelievably fast speeds. They rarely spend much time in the open, preferring to dash from bush to bush. These photos were taken at Mac Kenzie State Park in lower Puna - where a quite distant mongoose was motionless enough for me to take these photos at maximum zoom. So how did this mammal get to Hawai'i? The 1800's were a huge century for sugar cane and plantations shot up on many tropical islands including Hawai'i and Jamaica. With sugar cane came rats, attracted to the sweet plant, which ended up causing quite a bit of crop destruction and loss. In 1872 a gentleman by the name of W. B. Espeut, in an attempt to control the rising rat populations introduced Small Asian Mongoose from Calcutta to the island of Jamaica."

The ancient Egyptians domesticated these wild creatures and considered them sacred (mummified bodies have been discovered in tombs). Below is more interesting facts and information on the mongoose. Description There are about 30 different species of mongooses. The typical mongoose is similar to the weasel. They have a pointed face, a long and slender body (7-25 inches long), short legs, and bushy tails (6-21 inches long, about the same length of the body). They weigh between 12 ounces to 11 pounds. Their fur is coarse and the color is brown or gray. Some species have striped fur or ringed tails."

"text": "\"Rudyard Kipling fans may remember Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the mongoose hero of one of Kipling's \"\"Jungle Book\"\" stories. He was an Indian mongoose, but you can find mongooses in countries stretching from Indonesia to Africa. In fact, apart from a slim belt running across Africa, approximately where the Sahara desert is, the entire continent is home to the mongoose. Introducing the mongoose into non-native countries has sometimes proved problematic. A Typical Mongoose Habitat There are some 30 species of mongoose sharing common characteristics: they're small, fast, carnivorous and work in gangs. The mongoose's favorite food is rat, although he'll also eat bird eggs, insects and plants if necessary. He likes to live on open grassland or in forests that aren't dense with trees. Here you'll find mongooses living in burrows, which they either dig themselves or use ones abandoned by other animals. In some places, the mongoose has adapted to living in trees or partially in water, with burrows along river banks. Mongoose predators are jackals, snakes and hawks."

In the daytime sea otters float on their backs eating Abalone, their favorite food. To open the Abalone shell they place a small rock on their chest and smash the shell against it. Sea otters are one of the few mammals, beside humans, that use tools. They will use strands of kelp to tie themselves into the kelp beds for a secure night's sleep. They love to frolic with other otters and seals. Unlike seals and walrus, sea otters have no blubber to keep them warm in the cold arctic waters. Air trapped in their fur keeps them warm and bouyant. Oil spills can damage this fine fur and cause the otter to get very cold and die."

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."

They include animals such as seals, whales, manatees, sea otters and polar bears. They do not represent a distinct taxon or systematic grouping, but rather have a polyphyletic relation due to convergent evolution, as in they do not have an immediate common ancestor. They are also unified by their reliance on the marine environment for feeding. Marine mammal adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle varies considerably between species. Both cetaceans and sirenians are fully aquatic and therefore are obligate water dwellers. Seals and sea-lions are semiaquatic; they spend the majority of their time in the water, but need to return to land for important activities such as mating, breeding and molting. In contrast, both otters and the polar bear are much less adapted to aquatic living. Their diet varies considerably as well; some may eat zooplankton, others may eat fish, squid, shellfish, sea-grass and a few may eat other mammals. While the number of marine mammals is small compared to those found on land, their roles in various ecosystems are large, especially concerning the maintenance of marine ecosystems, through processes including the regulation of prey populations."

"text": "\"How Oil Harms Animals and Plants in Marine Environments Animals and Plants Fish and Whales An oiled seabird was found dead on the beach following the Kuroshima oil spill near Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in November 1997. ( NOAA)In general, oil spills can affect animals and plants in two ways: from the oil itself and from the response or cleanup operations. Understanding both types of impacts can help spill responders minimize overall impacts to ecological communities and help them to recover much more quickly. Spilled oil can harm living things because its chemical constituents are poisonous. This can affect organisms both from internal exposure to oil through ingestion or inhalation and from external exposure through skin and eye irritation. Oil can also smother some small species of fish or invertebrates and coat feathers and fur, reducing birds' and mammals' ability to maintain their body temperatures. We have a series of guidance documents that describe the biology of and impacts of oil on sea turtles, mangroves, and coral reefs. Each one includes related planning and response considerations for oil spills which may affect these particularly sensitive organisms and habitats. What Creatures Are Most Affected by Oil Spills? Since most oils float, the creatures most affected by oil are animals like sea otters and seabirds that are found on the sea surface or on shorelines if the oil comes ashore."

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."

An adult North American river otter can weigh between 5.0 and 14 kg (11.0 and 30.9 lb). The river otter is protected and insulated by a thick, water-repellent coat of fur. The North American river otter, a member of the subfamily Lutrinae in the weasel family (Mustelidae), is equally versatile in the water and on land. It establishes a burrow close to the water's edge in river, lake, swamp, coastal shoreline, tidal flat, or estuary ecosystems. The den typically has many tunnel openings, one of which generally allows the otter to enter and exit the body of water. Female North American river otters give birth in these underground burrows, producing litters of one to six young. North American river otters, like most predators, prey upon the most readily accessible species. Fish is a favored food among the otters, but they also consume various amphibians (such as salamanders and frogs [2] ), freshwater clams, mussels, snails, small turtles and crayfish. The most common fish consumed are perch, suckers, and catfish. ["

Two of the animals, the El Segundo blue butterfly and the southern sea otter, are unique to Southern California. Four of the other animals highlighted in today’s report are also found in California — the humpback whale, green sea turtle, peregrine falcon and bald eagle. The report highlights 10 species that are improving or have been recovered under the protection of the Act. El Segundo blue butterfly photo by Stonebird. Photos are available for media use. “In Hollywood rock-star style, these animals are famous for their comebacks. From cute fuzzy sea otters to gorgeous blue butterflies, the Endangered Species Act has helped save some of California’s most amazing wildlife from extinction,” said Tierra Curry, a biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the coalition groups. More than 1,300 plants and animals in the United States have been protected by the Endangered Species Act, while only 10 have gone extinct, according to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A recent study found that 90 percent of protected species are recovering at the pace expected in their scientific recovery plan, though the task of bringing back a species from near-extinction typically takes decades."

The Lontra Canadensis is a predator species, and in many rivers it is one of the top predators. This means that through predation, the river otter helps to control the populations of the species it preys on. River otters are also important because they are a key indicator of the health of the ecosystem. If the river otter population is declining it means the ecosystem is not healthy. Are They Endangered? The river otter is considered a protected species in the world. Although the river otter population is not near extinction there is a threat to these animals that conservation efforts and governments would like to watch. The river otters are considered protected because they are in danger of being overhunted for their magnificent pelts."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Social Sciences Environmental Consequences of Oil Spills Oil spills always harm wildlife, ecosystems and coastal environments Share Flipboard Email Print Ben Osborne / Getty Imagesby Larry West Updated August 03, 2017Oil spills often result in both immediate and long-term environmental damage. Some of the environmental damage caused by an oil spill can last for decades after the spill occurs. Here are some of the most notable environmental damages typically caused by oil spills: Oil Spills Damage Beaches, Marshlands and Fragile Aquatic Ecosystems Oil spilled by damaged tankers, pipelines or offshore oil rigs coats everything it touches and becomes an unwelcome but long-term part of every ecosystem it enters. When an oil slick from a large oil spill reaches the beach, the oil coats and clings to every rock and grain of sand. If the oil washes into coastal marshes, mangrove forests or other wetlands, fibrous plants and grasses absorb the oil, which can damage the plants and make the whole area unsuitable as wildlife habitat. When some of the oil eventually stops floating on the surface of the water and begins to sink into the marine environment, it can have the same kind of damaging effects on fragile underwater ecosystems, killing or contaminating many fish and smaller organisms that are essential links in the global food chain. Despite massive clean-up efforts following the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, for example, a 2007 study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that 26,000 gallons of oil from the Exxon Valdez oil spill was still trapped in the sand along the Alaska shoreline. Scientists involved in the study determined that this residual oil was declining at a rate of less than 4 percent annually. Oil Spills Kill Birds Oil-covered birds are practically a universal symbol of the environmental damage wreaked by oil spills. Some species of shore birds may escape by relocating if they sense the danger in time, but sea birds that swim and dive for their food are the most likely to be covered in oil in the event of a spill."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The Animals of the Amazon River Basin Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 12, 201701of 11Meet the Mammals, Birds and Reptiles of the Amazon Rain Forest Getty Images The Amazon river basin, also known as the Amazon rain forest, covers almost three million square miles and overlaps the boundaries of nine countries: Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. By some estimates, this region (which occupies 40 percent of the area of the South American continent) is home to one-tenth of the world's animal species. On the following slides, you'll discover the most important animals of the Amazon river basin, ranging from monkeys to anteaters to poison dart frogs.02of 11The Piranha Getty Images There are a lot of myths about piranhas, such as the one that they can skeletonize a cow in less than five minutes; the fact is that these fish don't even particularly like to attack humans. Still, there's no denying that the piranha is built to kill, equipped as it is with sharp teeth and extremely powerful jaws, which can chomp down on its prey with a force of over 70 pounds per square inch. Given how scary the piranha is, you may or may not want to know about the megapiranha, a giant piranha ancestor that haunted the rivers of Miocene South America.03of 11The Capybara Wikimedia Commons The world's largest rodent, at up to 150 pounds, the capybara has a wide distribution across South America, but it especially likes the warm, humid environs of the Amazon river basin. This mammal subsists on the rain forest's copious vegetation, including fruit, tree bark and aquatic plants, and has been known to congregate in herds of up to 100 members (which should put your own pesky mouse problem into some perspective). The rain forest may be endangered, but the capybara isn't; this rodent continues to thrive, despite the fact that it's a popular menu item in some South American villages.04of 11The Jaguar Getty Images The third-largest big cats after lions and tigers, jaguars have had a difficult time of it over the last century, as deforestation and human encroachment has restricted their range across South America. However, it's much harder to hunt a jaguar in the dense Amazon river basin than out in the open pampas, so the impenetrable portions of the rain forest may be Panthera onca 's last, best hope. No one know for sure, but there are at least a few thousand jaguars preying on the megafauna of the Amazon rain forest; an apex predator itself, the jaguar has nothing to fear from its fellow animals (except, of course, for human beings).05of 11The Giant Otter Getty Images Also known as \"\"water jaguars\"\" and \"\"river wolves,\"\" giant otters are the largest members of the mustelid family, and thus closely related to weasels. The males of this species can attain lengths of up to six feet and weights of up to 75 pounds, and both sexes are known for their thick,, glossy, shiny coats—which are so coveted by human hunters that there are only an estimated 5,000 or so giant otters left across the entire Amazon river basin."

The fish were quite big as they had been in there at least five years. Have you any idea what might have taken them? The night before they were missing my small dog had gone into the garden about 10.30 and ran down to the pond going hell for leather, so maybe she disturbed something.” This was followed up on 6-2-17 by a similar question from Ian Law, “Do you know how far an otter will travel from a river or lake? This morning I noticed goldfish scales on paving adjacent to my garden pond. It then became clear that an animal had been in the pond as the pump and a large water plant had been tipped over and were strewn across the bottom. I seem to have lost all my 11 fish which includes a largish carp. I have ruled out a heron as the pond is netted and the force required to upset the pump and immersed plant would be considerable.

Giant otters are endemic (live only there and nowhere else) for the South America, and they can be found in the Orinoco, Amazon and La Plata River systems. They prefer slow-moving rivers, lakes, swamps and flooded forests during the rainy season. Number of giant otters dropped drastically in the last couple of years due to extensive hunting (their fur is highly valuable in the fashion industry) and because of river pollution (heavy metals such as mercury are highly poisonous for otters). Interesting Giant otter Facts: Giant otters have dense, velvety and thick brown fur which is water repellent (prevents water from reaching the skin). Giant otter has 3.25 - 4.5 feet in length and weights between 49-71 pounds. Tail is 18-26 inches long. Some specimens can be 6 feet long (like adult man), but due to small weight they have streamlined sleek look, which is perfectly adapted to the life in the water. Giant otters are excellent swimmers and divers thanks to their short, webbed feet and flattened tail. They swim 9 miles per hour and pass distance of 330 feet in 30 seconds."

The heaviest of the otters, Sea Otters are the only species within the genus Enhydra . Hunted extensively for their luxurious fur—the densest of all mammals with up to 100,000 hairs per square centimeter— from 1741 onwards, Sea Otter populations were greatly reduced to the point of extermination in many parts of their historic range. By 1911 the world population was estimated to be just 1,000-2,000 individuals. Although several subspecies are still endangered, the otters have since been legally protected, and reintroduction efforts have shown positive results. Physical description With long, streamlined bodies, Sea Otters are built for life at sea. Exceptionally dense brown fur insulates the animal and retains air, creating an effective barrier between the water and the skin; this is important, as the otters lack insulating fat. Underneath each powerful front flipper is a pouch of skin used to temporarily store food collected during extended dives to the bottom. The front flippers also have retractile claws, while the hind flippers are longer, broadly flattened and webbed. They have a fairly short, thick muscular tail."

But in 1915, a team of biologists encountered a population of 32 individuals, alive and thriving in a Big Sur cove 30 miles south of Monterey Bay. To protect the population from further exploitation, the biologists told no one. Amazingly, their secret lasted for more than 20 years. The clandestine sea otter colony didn’t become public knowledge until 1938 when the construction of a major highway brought the hidden region into plain view."

They are often mistaken for beavers though. They live mainly on land that is very close to bodies of water. They hunt for food both in the water such as fish and then also land creatures including small reptiles. They are small animals that average about four feet in length and up to 30 pounds. There are 13 identified species of Otters known. Most people find the Otter to be a friendly looking creature. They tend to leave humans alone so they aren’t a threat if you happen to come upon one. However, they can bite and they can fight with their tails so if you are provoking an attack then you have been warned. They have been around for at least 5 million years based on early fossil remains."

"text": "Joel Sartore With elaborate shell patterns, spotted skin and a mouth that curves upward in an ever-present smile, the diamondback terrapin is the charismatic state reptile of Maryland and can be found in the saltwater marshes of the eastern and southern United States. These turtles were once considered a delicacy until they were hunted to near extinction in the last century. It is now listed as endangered, threatened, or a species of concern in a number of states. Climate Change Impacts Because diamondback terrapins are found only in brackish, coastal marshes, their habitat is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels. The marshes can tolerate minor changes in tidal activity but would not be able to survive drastic changes in salinity. As global warming causes sea levels to rise, the terrapins’ coastal marshes could disappear, endangering the survival of this beautiful turtle species.

An adult North American river otter can weigh between 5.0 and 14 kg (11.0 and 30.9 lb). The river otter is protected and insulated by a thick, water-repellent coat of fur. The North American river otter, a member of the subfamily Lutrinae in the weasel family (Mustelidae), is equally versatile in the water and on land. It establishes a burrow close to the water's edge in river, lake, swamp, coastal shoreline, tidal flat, or estuary ecosystems. The den typically has many tunnel openings, one of which generally allows the otter to enter and exit the body of water. Female North American river otters give birth in these underground burrows, producing litters of one to six young. North American river otters, like most predators, prey upon the most readily accessible species. Fish is a favored food among the otters, but they also consume various amphibians (such as salamanders and frogs [2] ), freshwater clams, mussels, snails, small turtles and crayfish. The most common fish consumed are perch, suckers, and catfish. ["

California’s southern sea otter has been listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act since 1977. 39 years later and counting, their conservation status remains unchanged and their future remains uncertain. Despite decades of protection, the southern sea otter population’s growth has stalled and the species shows few signs of recovery. Why are Sea Otters Important? Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline. They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp. Without sea otters, these grazing animals can destroy kelp forests and consequently the wide diversity of animals that depend upon kelp habitat for survival. Additionally, kelp forests protect coastlines from storm surge and absorb vast amounts of harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."

Excessive surgical procedures such as bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy have sometimes been performed in patients with benign ovarian tumor because the preoperative diagnosis was inaccurate. The criteria most useful for the prediction of ovarian malignancy are lesion size (> 4 cm); thickness (> 3 mm) of the walls and septa; and internal structure, including papillary projections, nodularity, various degrees of solid components, necrosis, and hemorrhage [ 1 ]. However, imaging findings in benign and malignant ovarian lesions overlap. Although contrast enhancement usually increases the accuracy in differentiation of benign and malignant lesions, its usefulness may be limited for some types of tumors. The most useful tumor marker in the detection of ovarian cancer is cancer antigen (CA) 125. The greatest problem of CA 125 determination is its lack of specificity. An elevated level of CA 125 not only is found in malignancy but can also be associated with fibroids, pregnancy, menstruation, endometriosis, and liver disease."

"text": "\"How To Cure Cystic Acne Cystic Acne is a skin condition, mainly affecting the face, but it can also effect the upper body and arms, in which the pores in the skin become blocked. These blockages can become inflamed and infected. Acne most affects adolescents and young adults, and estimates are that about 80% of people between 11 and 30 years of age are affected at some point. Acne occurs when the pores of the follicles in the skin and their accompanying sebaceous glands secrete too much of the oily substance called sebum. When sebum is secreted normally, it has a protective role, but when overproduced, it forms plugs in the pores by clumping with epidermal cells that have shed from the skin. These plugs are also known as comedones, which can be white or black-headed, and can be uninfected (noninflammatory acne) or infected and inflamed, leading to papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. However, Cystic acne is the worst of these lesions. Papules occur when bacteria leads to irritation of the hair follicles Pustules occur when bacteria leads to inflammation of the hair follicles, causing swollen red bumps Cysts occur when inflammation leads to a rupture of the hair follicles (which can also be caused by squeezing the spots, or by harsh scrubbing), releasing matter that triggers wider inflammation, and deeper, hard, painful cysts. What Causes Cystic Acne The biggest factor causing acne is the hormonal change in adolescent teenage years when androgen hormones surge and stimulate more sebum to be produced and a greater amount of skin cells to proliferate. Dead skin cells and oil clog pores and create a welcoming environment for bacteria that lives on your skin."

Educational grant provided by Women's Health and Education Center (WHEC). During child-bearing age, the normal endometrium undergoes a series of sequential changes in the course of the ovulatory cycle that prepare it to receive the ovum. If the ovum is not fertilized, the proliferative endometrium is cast off by menstruation, and the cycle repeats itself. A normal endometrial cycle is associated with changes in both endometrial glands and stroma that allow the pathologist to diagnose microscopically the phase of menstrual cycle. Abnormal uterine bleeding many times is as the result of an identifiable lesion such as endometriosis, submucous myoma, endometrial polyp, or cancer particularly in the postmenopausal patients. In most series, approximately 5% to 15% of the cases of postmenopausal bleeding are due to endometrial carcinoma and a similar proportion to endometrial polyps (1). The purpose of this document is to enhance the understanding of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial neoplasia (cancer). Most commonly, the prolonged unremitting estrogen stimulation results in endometrial hyperplasia. All gradations of this phenomenon occur, ranging from one distinguished only with difficulty from a normal exuberant proliferative endometrium (so-called disordered proliferative endometrium) to an atypical one that approaches the appearance of adenocarcinoma."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Workup Treatment References Background The normal functioning ovary produces a follicular cyst 6-7 times each year. In most cases, these functional cysts are self-limiting and resolve within the duration of a normal menstrual cycle. In rare situations, a cyst persists longer or becomes enlarged. At this point, it represents a pathological adnexal mass. Adnexal masses present a diagnostic dilemma; the differential diagnosis is extensive, and most masses are benign. [ 1, 2, 3] However, without histopathologic tissue diagnosis, a definitive diagnosis is generally precluded. Physicians must evaluate the likelihood of a concerning pathologic process using clinical and radiologic information and balance the risk of surgical intervention for a benign versus malignant process. Since ovaries produce physiologic cysts in menstruating women, the likelihood of a benign process is higher in women of reproductive age. In contrast, the presence of an adnexal mass in prepubertal girls and postmenopausal women heightens the risk of a malignant neoplastic etiology. History of the Procedure In the past, physicians relied on the findings of a pelvic examination to diagnose an adnexal mass."

The major difference between the peritoneum and other serosal membranes lies in its complex anatomic relationship with the visceral organs of the abdomen and their supporting mesenteries. Consequently, the peritoneum is exclusively involved in the spread of disease within the abdomen because it lines the peritoneal cavity and composes the mesenteries that divide the peritoneal cavity into spaces. The anatomic compartmentalization of the peritoneum by the attachments of the mesenteries dictates the distribution and flow of fluid within the abdomen and pelvis. The flow of fluid within the peritoneal cavity directly affects the anatomic location and distribution of secondary disease processes. The pathologic processes that may secondarily affect the peritoneum and peritoneal cavity can be loosely categorized into three broad groups: metastatic neoplasms, infectious and inflammatory lesions, and miscellaneous tumors and tumorlike lesions. The purpose of this article is to review the normal anatomic spaces within the peritoneal cavity; the flow of peritoneal fluid; and the clinical, pathologic, and imaging characteristics of the tumors and tumorlike lesions that secondarily involve the peritoneal cavity."

Go to: Abstract There are a variety of fat-containing lesions that can arise in the intraperitoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space. Some of these fat-containing lesions, such as liposarcoma and retroperitoneal teratoma, have to be resected, although resection can be deferred for others, such as adrenal adenoma, myelolipoma, angiomyolipoma, ovarian teratoma, and lipoma, until the lesions become large or symptomatic. The third group tumors (i.e., mesenteric panniculitis and pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule) require medical treatment or no treatment at all. Identifying factors such as whether the fat is macroscopic or microscopic within the lesion, the origin of the lesions, and the presence of combined calcification is important for narrowing the differential diagnosis. The development and wide-spread use of modern imaging modalities make identification of these factors easier so narrowing the differential diagnosis is possible. At the same time, lesions that do not require immediate treatment are being incidentally found at an increasing rate with these same imaging techniques."

Methods: In this prospective study fifty-three cases with unilocular nonseptate ovarian cystic masses,detected on ultrasound examination were subjected to ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of the cyst contents at Department of Pathology, Allama Iqbal Medical College Lahore, from January 1999 - January 2000. Aspirated fluid was examined cytologicaly using Giemsa stain on the smears prepared from centrifuged deposit. The same cyst removed surgically was examined histologicaly and cytohistological correlation was carried out. Results: In this series of 53 cases, histologically confirmed break up of various types of cysts was follicular cysts (n=25) , leuteal cysts (n=6), serous cysts (n=15), mucous cysts (N=4) and Endometriotic cysts (n=3). Non-diagnostic fine needle aspirate was obtained in 19/53 cases, majority being the follicular cysts. The cytohistological correlation revealed no false positive but 40% false negative results for follicular cysts on cytological examination of the aspirate. Hence the specificity and sensitivity for cytological diagnosis of follicular cyst was 100% and 60% respectively. For leuteal cysts, false positive and false negative results on cytological examination were 0% and 16.6% respectively with a specificity and sensitivity value of 100% and 83% respectively."

Mazzariol a Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinimag.2016.02.015 Get rights and content Abstract Focal atraumatic splenic lesions often pose a diagnostic challenge on cross-sectional imaging. They can be categorized based on etiology, as nonneoplastic, benign neoplastic, and malignant neoplastic (discussed in Part III) lesions, or on prevalence, as common, uncommon, and rare lesions. Familiarity with pertinent clinical parameters, etiology, pathology, prevalence, and ancillary features such as splenomegaly, concomitant hepatic involvement, and extrasplenic findings, in addition to knowledge of imaging spectra of the lesions, can improve diagnostic confidence. Consideration of these factors together can arm the radiologist with the necessary tools to render a more confident diagnosis and thus better aid management. Keywords CT scan MRI malignant splenic lesions Management algorithm1. Introduction Focal atraumatic splenic lesions can cause an imaging dilemma for the radiologist because they often lack a classic appearance. Therefore, assessment of their imaging features alone may be insufficient for diagnosis. Diagnostic accuracy is dramatically improved when the radiologist adds knowledge of relevant clinical factors, etiology, pathology, lesion prevalence, and ancillary imaging findings. Splenic lesions can be divided by etiology into the three categories: nonneoplastic, benign neoplastic, and malignant lesions ( Table 1 ), which are reviewed separately in this three-part series. Nonneoplastic lesions are discussed in Part I. Benign neoplastic and nonneoplastic mass-like lesions are discussed in Part II."

Peritoneal inclusion cysts, also known as peritoneal pseudocysts and inflammatory cysts of the pelvic peritoneum, present with a variety of imaging appearances, which can be confused with various adnexal masses of the female pelvis. A complex cystic adnexal mass generates a long list of differential diagnoses, including ovarian cancer. However, the confident diagnosis of peritoneal inclusion cysts is possible if imaging findings are correlated with appropriate clinical findings [ 1 ]. The correct diagnosis allows conservative treatment, avoiding unnecessary surgery. I describe the imaging appearances of peritoneal inclusion cysts. I also discuss the differentiation of peritoneal inclusion cysts from other adnexal masses. Pathophysiology The development of a peritoneal inclusion cyst depends on the presence of an active ovary and peritoneal adhesions [ 2 ]."

Description Ovarian cysts are common and the vast majority are harmless. Because they cause symptomsthat may be the same as ovarian tumors that may be cancerous, ovarian cysts should always be checked out. The most common types of ovarian cysts are follicular and corpus luteum, whichare related to the menstrual cycle. Follicular cysts occur when the cyst-like follicle on the ovary in which the egg develops does not burst and release the egg. They are usually small andharmless, disappearing within two to three menstrual cycles. Corpus luteum cysts occur whenthe corpus luteum—a small, yellow body that secretes hormones—does not dissolve after theegg is released. They usually disappear in a few weeks but can grow to more than 4 in (10 cm) in diameter and may twist the ovary. Ovarian cysts can develop at any time in a female's life from infancy to puberty to menopause,including during pregnancy."

Sometimes they may be felt as an abnormal or new lump or bump. Cysts usually are filled with air or other gases, liquids such as pus, or semisolid substances like tissue debris or other materials. Since cysts vary in size, they may be detectable only under a microscope or they can grow so large that they displace normal organs and tissues. The outer wall of a cyst is called the capsule. What Causes a Cyst? Cysts can arise through a variety of processes in the body, including\"\"wear and tear\"\" or simple obstructions to the flow of fluid,infections,tumors,chronic inflammatory conditions,genetic (inherited) conditions,defects in developing organs in the embryo.

"text": "Ovaries are part of the reproductive system of female organisms. In vertebrate animals, they also produce and release sex hormones that govern physical characteristics and fertility. These organs are extremely important because they ensure the continued survival of the species by producing ova, or eggs, which are intended for fertilization. In humans, they are around the size of an almond, and human females are actually born with all of the eggs they will ever have. The specifics of ovaries vary, depending on the type of organism under discussion. In vertebrates, they are attached to the fallopian tubes, which are in turn connected to the uterus. During a cycle known as ovulation, they usually release a single egg into the uterus. If the egg is fertilized, it will implant and develop into an embryo, which will ultimately become a baby. If the egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining is shed, along with the egg, allowing the uterus to prepare anew for a fresh egg. In addition to producing and releasing eggs that contain genetic material needed for reproduction, the ovaries also create sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone."

Physical exam Your doctor will first take your history and do a physical exam to look for signs of ovarian cancer. These include an enlarged ovary (on a pelvic exam) and signs of fluid in the abdomen (which is called ascites ). If there is reason to suspect you have ovarian cancer based on your symptoms and/or physical exam, your doctor will order some tests to check further. Consultation with a specialist If the results of your pelvic exam or other tests suggest that you have ovarian cancer, you will need a doctor or surgeon who specializes in treating women with this type of cancer. A gynecologic oncologist is an obstetrician/gynecologist who is specially trained in treating cancers of the female reproductive system. Treatment by a gynecologic oncologist helps ensure that you get the best kind of surgery for your cancer. It has also has been shown to help patients with ovarian cancer live longer. Anyone suspected of having ovarian cancer should see this type of specialist before having surgery. Imaging tests Imaging tests like computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasound studies can confirm whether a pelvic mass is present."

"text": "Female Gonads Contents Overview Embryology Structure Structural Relations Blood Supply Innervation Lymphatics Clinical Points Overview Single cellular organisms maintain their population size by way of mitotic cellular division. Complex multicellular species like humans depend on a more sophisticated mechanism to achieve the same goal. The process of sexual reproduction is attained by several intermediate steps, namely gametogenesis (production of cells with half the complement of genetic material), copulation, fertilization (fusion of two haploid – having half the normal number of chromosomes – cells), gestation and parturition. Ovary Gametogenesis in human females is a hormonally regulated process carried out in the ovaries. These reproductive organs (analogous to the testis in males) are uniquely designed to execute its modus operandi – from the production of viable gametes to the expulsion of such for fertilization. The embryology, gross anatomy, neurovascular supply and some clinically significant points relating to the ovaries will be outlined in this article. Embryology The female gonads (ovaries) are derivatives of the paramesonephric gonadal ridge. They become distinct ovaries between the 6th and 7th gestational weeks, when epiblastic primordial germ cells begin their invasion of the genital ridges. While the genital ridges are being populated with primordial germ cells, its epithelial lining grows into the mesenchymal layer that is deep to it. They continue to grow and form primitive sex cords which subsequently form irregular clusters of cells."

"text": "Knowledge is key when it comes to ovarian cancerby Lynn Parker, M. D. | posted in Cancer, Women. on August 20, 2014Share Like Tweet Ovarian cancer affects one in 70 women in the general population. Symptoms of ovarian cancer unfortunately are very vague and can include bloating, nausea, feeling full after only eating a small amount, abdominal pain, and change in bowel or bladder function. In fact, these symptoms are more likely to be other medical issues such as irritable bowel syndrome or gastroesophageal reflux disease than ovarian cancer. However, in a study by Goff et al., if symptoms occur more than 12 times per month and are new in onset, ovarian cancer should be in the differential diagnosis. Ovarian simple cyst development is the normal function of the ovary in a premenopausal woman. However, it is concerning if a cyst is complex with separations or septations, solid features, or papillations. Those findings in a woman who has undergone menopause are very concerning. If a complex cyst is found, often tumor markers such as CA-125 and sometimes HE-4 or OVA-1 are drawn to evaluate the chance of finding ovarian cancer."

"text": "\"Pelvic pain and ovarian cysts: Do they mean cancer? CTCA, April 30, 2014While pain is a common symptom of a woman’s period, it might seem uncommon if you’re having persistent pelvic pain. It might come every month for a few months, then stop. Or you might feel it randomly throughout the month, with no association with your period at all. In this age of self-diagnosis, pelvic pain is just a Google search away from a cancer diagnosis. In fact, many young women who experience pain in their lower abdomen may simply have a benign ovarian cyst. Ovarian cancer is rare during a woman’s childbearing years (most women with ovarian cancer are between ages 55 to 64). But ovarian cysts are quite common and the symptoms can be similar to those of ovarian cancer: pelvic pain, bloating, back pain and nausea or vomiting. So how can you know the difference? It’s important to know about various types of ovarian cysts and understand the symptoms of ovarian cancer."

Braun, 4and Shosei Yoshida 5Author information ► Copyright and License information ►This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Go to: Abstract Sperm and egg production requires a robust stem cell system that balances self-renewal with differentiation. Self-renewal at the expense of differentiation can cause tumorigenesis, whereas differentiation at the expense of self-renewal can cause germ cell depletion and infertility. In most organisms, and sometimes in both sexes, germline stem cells (GSCs) often reside in a defined anatomical niche. Factors within the niche regulate a balance between GSC self-renewal and differentiation. Asymmetric division of the germline stem cell to form daughter cells with alternative fates is common. The exception to both these tendencies is the mammalian testis where there does not appear to be an obvious anatomical niche and where GSC homeostasis is likely accomplished by a stochastic balance of self-renewal and differentiation and not by regulated asymmetric cell division. Despite these apparent differences, GSCs in all organisms share many common mechanisms, although not necessarily molecules, to guarantee survival of the germline. In males and in females or hermaphrodites of many species, gametes are produced throughout reproductive life from adult stem cells dedicated to the germline."

It can be difficult to detect in its early stages. Unlike cervical and breast cancers, there are currently no effective screening methods for ovarian cancer. The majority of women are diagnosed when the cancer is in an advanced stage. If you are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, you should be referred to a gynecologic oncologist, a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system. Outcomes are best when women receive care in hospitals and from doctors with experience treating ovarian cancer. Risk Factors The main risk factors for ovarian cancer are: BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations Family history of ovarian, breast, or hereditary colorectal cancer Older age Not having had children Protective Factors Factors that may help reduce the risk for ovarian cancer include: Birth control pills Childbirth and breastfeeding Tubal ligation (tying fallopian tubes) or hysterectomy (removal of uterus) after childbearing Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy surgery (removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes) for women with BRCA and other genetic mutations who are at high risk for ovarian cancer BRCA Genetic Mutations Guidelines from the United States Preventive Service Task Force recommend screening for BRCA genetic mutations in women whose family history suggests a high risk for ovarian cancer. Mutations in the genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 are among the strongest risk factors for ovarian and breast cancers. Women who do not have risk factors do not need to be screened for these gene mutations, but are still at risk of developing ovarian cancer. Your health care provider may estimate your risk for these genes using a questionnaire."

In some rare cases, however, these structures can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a hormonal imbalance or cancer. What a sac is filled with determines whether it is a cyst, an abscess, or a tumor. Cysts are usually filled with fluid, such as skin oil, although they may also contain air, water, or semi-solid matter from the body. Abscesses are often the result of an infection and contain pus. Tumors are typically filled with body tissue. Causes Small lumps on the skin often develop when oil or other fluids cannot flow freely from the body. Many harmless cysts on the skin occur when hair follicles become damaged or blocked. Oil-secreting glands known as sebaceous glands can also rupture and become blocked, stopping the oil from shedding normally."

They secrete two main hormones—estrogen and progesterone. Diseases associated with the ovaries include ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, menstrual cycle disorders, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. The ovaries are a pair of ova-producing organs (that is, they produce egg cells) that maintain the health of the female reproductive system. The ovaries, like their male counterpart, the testes, are known as gonads. This simply means they are the primary reproductive organs. In addition to their role in producing ova, the ovaries also have the distinction of being an endocrine gland because they secrete hormones—primarily estrogen and progesterone—that are vital to normal reproductive development and fertility. Anatomy of the Ovaries The ovaries are oval shaped and about the size of a large grape. They are located on opposite ends of the pelvic wall, on either side of the uterus. The ovaries are each attached to the fimbria (tissue that connects the ovaries to the fallopian tube)."

An oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that can be used to remove one or both of the ovaries. The ovaries are the almond shaped organs which sit above the uterus that hold the eggs. These organs are also responsible for providing the hormones to control the menstrual cycle. If the ovaries have developed a dangerous condition or are being removed as portion of a larger surgery such as a hysterectomy, this will alter the hormonal pattern in the body which will require an adjustment as time goes on. Why Remove an Ovary? Ovaries may need to be removed to help reduce the presence of a dangerous condition. Endometriosis that has overgrown the ovaries may require them to be removed to prevent this tissue from spreading further. You may also need your ovaries removed to stop the spread of ovarian cancer.

"text": "Human Anatomy The ovary (for a given side) is located in the lateral wall of the pelvis in a region called the ovarian fossa. The fossa usually lies beneath the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. The ovaries are not attached to the fallopian tubes but to the outer layer of the uterus via the ovarian ligaments. Usually each ovary takes turns releasing eggs every month; however, if there was a case where one ovary was absent or dysfunctional then the other ovary would continue providing eggs to be released. Ovaries Hormones Ovaries secrete both estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for the appearance of secondary sex characteristics of female people at puberty and for the maturation and maintenance of the reproductive organs in their mature functional state. Progesterone functions with estrogen by promoting menstrual cycle changes in the endometrium. Ligaments In the human the paired ovaries lie within the pelvic cavity, on either side of the uterus, to which they are attached via a fibrous cord called the ovarian ligament. The ovaries are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the ovary. The part of the broad ligament of the uterus that covers the ovary is known as the mesovarium."

"text": "Ovarian Pain (Left, Right) Causes, Location, Symptoms Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet It is not uncommon to experience pain arising from the ovaries, especially around the time of ovulation. Usually it is a mild discomfort but some women do experience pain despite not having any disease or disorder for the area. In the diseased state it is often difficult to isolate ovarian pain from pain arising in surrounding structures. However, the presence of other gynecological symptoms may infer that pain felt in the region of the ovaries may indeed be from the ovaries or from another female reproductive organ. Sometimes this may be due to serious and even life-threatening diseases. Therefore persistent ovarian pain, or ovarian pain that is worsening with/without other symptoms should be investigated. Meaning of Ovarian Pain Ovarian pain simply means that there is pain originating from one or both ovaries. It is often one-sided, arising from either the right or left ovary. The fallopian tubes may or may not be involved, as with adjacent parts of the female reproductive organs. It is possible that pain arising from some pathology in the fallopian tubes may be the origin of the pain and not the ovaries itself."

Learning Objectives Outline the anatomy of the female reproductive system from external to internal Key Takeaways Key Points An female’s internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, and ovary. External structures include the mons pubis, pudendal cleft, labia majora and minora, vulva, Bartholin’s gland, and the clitoris. The female reproductive system contains two main parts: the uterus, which hosts the developing fetus, produces vaginal and uterine secretions, and passes the anatomically male sperm through to the fallopian tubes; and the ovaries, which produce the anatomically female egg cells. Key Termsovary: A female reproductive organ, often paired, that produces ova and in mammals secretes the hormones estrogen and progesterone.oviduct: A duct through which an ovum passes from an ovary to the uterus or to the exterior (called fallopian tubes in humans).vulva: The consists of the female external genital organs.oogenesis: The formation and development of an ovum. The human female reproductive system (or female genital system) contains two main parts: Uterus Hosts the developing fetus Produces vaginal and uterine secretions Passes the anatomically male sperm through to the fallopian tubes Ovaries Produce the anatomically female egg cells. Produce and secrete estrogen and progesterone These parts are internal; the vagina meets the external organs at the vulva, which includes the labia, clitoris, and urethra. The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while the uterus is attached to the ovaries via the fallopian tubes. At certain intervals, the ovaries release an ovum, which passes through the fallopian tube into the uterus. If, in this transit, it meets with sperm, the sperm penetrates and merges with the egg, fertilizing it."

There is a similarly broad range in the morphology and structure of the reproductive organs of the plant. Many vegetative buds sooner or later become flower buds. Flower buds are modified leaves borne on a short axis with very short internodes and no axillary buds. The floral axis has determinate growth, in that at some point it ceases to grow. Flowers, the reproductive tissues of the plant, contain the male and/or female organs. They may terminate short lateral branches or the main axis or both. Flowers may be borne singly (as in the daffodil and Magnolia) or in clusters called inflorescences (e.g., bromeliads, snapdragons, and sunflowers).

"text": "Ovaries Article Excerpts about Ovaries The ovaries produce the eggs in the female reproductive system. Eggs grow, develop, and mature in the ovaries and then are released during ovulation, part of the monthly menstrual cycle that occurs during the childbearing years. ( Source: excerpt from Ovarian Cysts: NWHIC)The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries have two functions: they produce eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs function). Every month, during the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary in a process called ovulation. The egg travels from the ovary through the fallopian tube to the uterus. The ovaries are also the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones influence the development of a woman's breasts, body shape, and body hair."

That they “connect” the ovaries to the uterus which leads finally to the vagina and the outside of the body? Perhaps you think about ectopic pregnancies, as most ectopic pregnancies are indeed “tubal” pregnancies. Whatever you may think of when Fallopian tubes are brought up, they are some of the least considered and understood parts of a woman’s reproductive tract. Besides connecting the uterus and ovaries, do they do anything else? Are they homologous to any part of the male anatomy? Let’s try to answer some of the most common questions about Fallopian tubes. First, where does the name “Fallopian” come from? Unlike most parts of a woman’s reproductive system, this name does not come from Latin or Greek. The Fallopian tubes are named for Gabriele Falloppio, a 16th-century Italian anatomist."

Anatomy of the fallopian tubes: The fallopian tubes are tube-like structures that open into either side of the uterus of females. Each fallopian tube has four parts, infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus and intramural part. The infundibulum has finger-shaped projections called fimbriae. Below the fimbriae are located the ovaries. The ampulla is a wider part of the tube. The isthmus connects the ampulla to the intramural part, which enters the wall of the uterus. The fallopian tubes transport the immature egg from the ovaries to the uterus. If a sperm is present, it fertilizes the egg in the ampulla. The fertilized egg then passes through the fallopian tube into the uterus, where it implants and forms the fetus."

They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are connected to each other by the Fallopian tubes. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries have two functions: they produce eggs (also called ova) and female hormones. The size of each ovary is about 1.5 inches long. Each month, during the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a fallopian tube to the uterus. The ovaries are the main source of female hormones (estrogen and progesterone). These hormones control the development of female body characteristics, such as the breasts, body shape, and body hair."

Sex organs in males In the case of male reproductive system the primary sex organs are a pair of testes (singular: testis) lying outside the abdominal cavity, enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. The placement of testes outside the body results in the temperature of the testes being lower than that of the rest of the body, a condition favorable to produce healthy sperms. Secondary sex organs in a male are seminiferous tubules, epididymis, sperm duct, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, Cowper's gland and penis.

Surgery may be done for different reasons. You may have surgery to:accurately diagnose and stage the diseasecompletely remove the tumourremove as much of the cancer as possible (called surgical debulking) before other treatmentsreduce pain or ease symptoms (called palliative surgery)The following types of surgery are used to treat ovarian cancer. You may also have other treatments before or after surgery. Surgical staging Ovarian cancer is staged during surgery and treated at the same time. All of the tissue and fluid samples that are removed are sent to the lab to be checked for cancer cells. Some women who appear to have early stage disease (stage 1) based on diagnostic tests are assigned a higher stage (stage 2 or 3) after their samples have been analyzed in the lab. Surgical staging includes:washing the abdominal cavity to see if there are cancer cells or removing ascites (an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen) for examination to see if there are cancer cellsexamining all surfaces in the pelvis and abdomenscraping the surfaces of the diaphragm to check for cancer cellsbiopsy of any areas that look like cancer and from all areas inside the abdomen and pelvisremoving some lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomenremoving most or all of the omentum (the fatty tissue that covers the abdominal organs)examining or removing the ovary that doesn’t contain cancer If the other ovary appears normal, the surgeon will leave it alone if you wish to get pregnant in the future."

A unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is appropriate for patients in whom an ovary is unable to be preserved, including cases of ruptured ectopic pregnancy with an inability to achieve hemostasis without removal of the tube and ovary, adnexal torsion in which the ovary and tube are necrotic, a tuboovarian abscess not responsive to antibiotics, or a benign ovarian mass in which there is no remaining normal ovarian tissue able to be conserved. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is generally one of three types: elective at time of hysterectomy for benign conditions, prophylactic in women with increased risk of ovarian cancer, or because of malignancy. Relevant Anatomy The ovaries are the female pelvic reproductive organs that house the ova and are also responsible for the production of sex hormones. They are paired organs located on either side of the uterus within the broad ligament below the uterine (fallopian) tubes. The ovary is within the ovarian fossa, a space that is bound by the external iliac vessels, obliterated umbilical artery, and the ureter. The ovaries are responsible for housing and releasing ova, or eggs, necessary for reproduction. At birth, a female has approximately 1-2 million eggs, but only 300 of these eggs will ever become mature and be released for the purpose of fertilization. The uterine tubes are uterine appendages located bilaterally at the superior portion of the uterine cavity. These tubes exit the uterus through an area referred to as the cornua, forming a connection between the endometrial and peritoneal cavities."

"text": "Anatomy of the female reproductive system: The entire external genitalia of the female is called the vulva. This includes the labia majora, labia minora and clitoris. The vagina connects the vulva to the uterus, serving both as a receptacle for sperm during sexual intercourse and as the passageway for the infant during birth. The urethra ends in a separate orifice. The cervix is the neck of the uterus that protrudes into the upper end of the vagina. The walls of the uterus contain a thick layer of smooth muscle called the myometrium, which serve to expel the fetus during labor. The inner lining of the uterus, the endometrium, proliferates in preparation for implantation of the zygote and is then shed during each menstrual cycle. Two Fallopian tubes, one on each side, connect the uterus to the ovaries. Fertilization typically occurs here. Closely associated with the end of each Fallopian tube is a walnut-sized ovary, the female gonad."

"text": "\"Ovarian cancer Highlights Ovarian Cancer Ovarian cancer is a cancer that develops in a woman's ovary. It can be difficult to detect in its early stages. Unlike cervical and breast cancers, there are currently no effective screening methods for ovarian cancer. The majority of women are diagnosed when the cancer is in an advanced stage. If you are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, you should be referred to a gynecologic oncologist, a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system. Outcomes are best when women receive care in hospitals and from doctors with experience treating ovarian cancer. Risk Factors The main risk factors for ovarian cancer are: BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations Family history of ovarian, breast, or hereditary colorectal cancer Older age Not having had children Protective Factors Factors that may help reduce the risk for ovarian cancer include: Birth control pills Childbirth and breastfeeding Tubal ligation (tying fallopian tubes) or hysterectomy (removal of uterus) after childbearing Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy surgery (removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes) for women with BRCA and other genetic mutations who are at high risk for ovarian cancer BRCA Genetic Mutations Guidelines from the United States Preventive Service Task Force recommend screening for BRCA genetic mutations in women whose family history suggests a high risk for ovarian cancer. Mutations in the genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 are among the strongest risk factors for ovarian and breast cancers. Women who do not have risk factors do not need to be screened for these gene mutations, but are still at risk of developing ovarian cancer. Your health care provider may estimate your risk for these genes using a questionnaire."

"text": "Ectopic Pregnancy Case Study By Renniel Paul Raquepo RN, MAN - Sep 27, 2017SHARE Facebook Twittertweet Ectopic pregnancy is the abnormal implantation of a fertilized ovum anywhere outside the uterine cavity or normal site of implantation. This is one of the most common complications of pregnancy during the first trimester. There is no exact statistic that would represent ectopic pregnancy because many cases were masked by misdiagnosis. Oftentimes, pregnancy is believed to be normal during its early phase due to the presentation of some signs indicative of an ideal gestation. This is the reason why ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed late, or when pain starts to be manifested as sign of rupture of the fallopian tube (most common manifestation) and begins to develop more serious problems such as hemorrhage. TYPESThe types of ectopic pregnancy is based on the site of implantation. The reason for the site of implantation is still unclear, but, is/are associated with some forms of infections, anatomical abnormalities, and some birth control methods. Tubal ectopic pregnancy— the fertilized ovum was implanted anywhere within the fallopian tube. This is the most common type of ectopic pregnancy. The usual site of implantation is on the outer-third of the fallopian tube."

"text": "Treatment Choices for Endometrial Cancer, by Stage Endometrial cancer is often diagnosed when a woman who is having symptoms has an endometrial biopsy or D&C. Diagnosis is often followed by surgery to treat and stage the cancer. This operation includes removing the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries (total hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or TH/BSO). Lymph nodes from the pelvis and around the aorta may also be removed (a pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection [LND] or sampling) and examined for cancer spread. Pelvic washings may be done, too. The tissues removed at surgery are examined under a microscope to see how far the cancer has spread (the stage). Depending on the stage of the cancer, other treatments, such as radiation and/or chemotherapy may be recommended. For some women who still want to be able to get pregnant, surgery may be put off for a time and other treatments tried instead. If the cancer has spread outside the uterus, a different surgery may be planned. If the cancer has spread to the inside of the liver, the lungs, or other organs, surgery may not be helpful, and so chemotherapy or other treatments may be used instead. Stage I cancers An endometrial cancer is stage I if the cancer is limited to the body of the uterus and has not spread to lymph nodes or distant sites."

"text": "Take a Look at the Causes and Symptoms of Adnexal Cyst Adnexal cyst also referred to as an ovarian cyst, is a common condition faced by most women of all ages. Sometimes, these cysts show no symptoms, while sometimes they are accompanied by severe abdominal pain. This article deals with the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this medical condition. The Adnexa is a region that is adjacent to the uterus, connecting to the ovaries, associated blood vessels, ligaments, connective tissues, and fallopian tubes. These cysts show no symptoms at times, hence a radiologic test and a physical examination is required for the detection of these cysts. An adnexal cyst is a formation of a tumor in the adnexa. These masses can either be cancerous or non-cancerous. Several tests need to be performed to identify, whether these cysts are malignant or benign. Causes and Symptoms In most women, the adnexal cyst produces no symptoms at all. It is often reported accidentally during a routine gynecological examination."

Reproduction — the process by which organisms make more organisms like themselves — is one of the things that set living things apart from nonliving matter. But even though the reproductive system is essential to keeping a species alive, unlike other body systems, it's not essential to keeping an individual alive. In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or gametes (pronounced: GAH-meetz), are involved. The male gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female's reproductive system. The female needs a male to fertilize her egg, even though it is she who carries offspring through pregnancy and childbirth. When the sperm fertilizes, or meets, the egg, this fertilized egg is called the zygote. The zygote goes through a process of becoming an embryo and developing into a fetus.1/12The Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system includes a group of organs in a woman's lower belly and pelvis.

It is advised that women should not undergo this surgery if they currently have or had a history of bladder cancer. After the anesthesia takes effect, a surgeon will make a small incision at each side of, but just below the navel in order to gain access to each of the two fallopian tubes. With traditional tubal ligation, the surgeon severs the tubes, and then ties ( ligates) them off thereby preventing the travel of eggs to the uterus. Other methods include using clips or rings to clamp them shut, or severing and cauterizing them. Tubal ligation is usually done in a hospital operating-room setting."

This proves a temptation to the vermin too great to be resisted. One day there appeared upon the scene a piper clad in a fantastic suit, who offered for a certain sum of money to charm all the vermin into the Weser. The cultivation of osiers is attended with many disturbing causes - winter floods, spring frosts, ground vermin and insect pests of various kinds, sometimes working great havoc to the crop. One advantage of using edgings of this kind, especially in kitchen gardens, is that they do not harbour slugs and similar vermin, which all live edgings do, and often to a serious extent, if they are left to grow large. The various species of rapacious animals are disappearing, together with the colonies of marmots; the insectivores are also becoming scarce in consequence of the destruction of insects; while vermin, such as the suslik, or pouched marmot (Spermophilus), and the destructive insects which are a scourge to agriculture, become a real plague. The comparatively rapid growth of the tree is its great recommendation to the planter; it is best raised from acorns sown on the spot, as they are very bitter and little liable to the attacks of vermin; the tree sends down a long tap-root, which should be curtailed by cutting or early transplanting, if the young trees are to be removed. The blackbird feeds chiefly on fruits, worms, the larvae of insects and snails, extracting the last from their shells by dexterously chipping them on stones; and though it is generally regarded as an enemy of the garden, it is probable that the amount of damage by it to the fruit is largely compensated for by its undoubted services as a vermin-killer. Powell contends that in a proper sense none of the Indian tribes was nomadic, but that, governed by water-supply, bad seasons and superstition (and discomfort from vermin must be added), even the Pueblo tribes often tore down and rebuilt their domiciles. It acts as a weak antiseptic."

Likely originating in China, the largest specimens can top 2.2lbs. Norway rats plague cities such as New York (where population estimates vary wildly- from a few hundred thousand to a few hundred million depending on your source) and London and have pervaded nearly every corner of the globe with the rare exceptions of Arctic and Antarctic areas, the Canadian province of Alberta, and pockets of New Zealand. The white albino rats used in laboratories and kept as pets are domesticated versions of this species.9Black Rats Driven to a fraction of their former range by the larger, nastier Brown Rats, Black Rats prefer tropical locales these days, but were once Europe’s dominant species. It was this rat which ushered in the Black Plague. Fleas that lived on the rats transmitted the Yersinia pests bacteria to millions of unwitting victims. The black rat is an excellent climber, and has proven to be the bane of many nesting bird species throughout the world."

Pictures. Set in an alternate universe circa 1985, the film's world is a highly unstable one where a nuclear war is imminent between America and Russia. Superheroes have long been made to hang up their tights thanks to the government-sponsored Keene Act, but that all changes with the death of The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a robust ex-hero commando whose mysterious free fall out a window perks the interest of one of the country's last remaining vigilantes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley). His investigation leads him to caution many of his other former costumed colleagues, including Dr. Manhattan, Night Owl (Patrick Wilson), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Sally Jupiter (Carla Gugino), and her daughter, The Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman). Heralded for bringing the world of superheroes into the literary world, Watchmen gave the super-powered mythos a real-life grounding that had been missing in mainstream comics to that point. The film adaptation had languished in one form of development hell or another for years after the book's release, with various directors on and off the project, including Terry Gilliam, David Hayter, and Darren Aronofsky, as well as Paul Greengrass, whose eventual dismissal stemmed from budget conflicts with the studio. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi Rating: R (for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language)Genre: Action & Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction & Fantasy Directed By: Zack Snyder Written By: Alex Tse, David Hayter In Theaters: Mar 6, 2009 wide On Disc/Streaming: Jul 21, 2009Box Office: $107,453,620Runtime: 163 minutes Studio: Warner Bros.

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

The snowy owl is primarily found within the Arctic Circle with the range of the snowy owl ranging across Canada, Greenland, Europe and Asia. The snowy owl is the official bird of Quebec in the North-east of Canada. The snowy owl is one of the largest species of owl in the world, with the average adult snowy owl growing to about 65cm tall with a wingspan of around 140cm. Snowy owls however can be smaller than this, and can even grow to more than 75cm in height. Despite the vast range of the snowy owl within the Arctic Circle, it has been reported for snowy owls to travel further south in search of food. Snowy owls have been spotted as far south as Texas in the USA and even in the Caribbean. Snowy owls are also commonly spotted throughout Europe and Asia, from the UK to the southern China. Snowy owls make their nests on the ground but they chose their nesting place very carefully. A nest site for the snowy owl must have good visibility so that the snowy owl is able to keep and eye on it's surroundings, and the nest of the snowy owl must also have a good source of food so that the snowy owl does not have leave the nest for long (if at all) in order to eat."

Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation. [ 2] They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs ( Cynomys spp.). Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. Like many other kinds of owls, though, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to forests, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs that enable it to sprint, as well as fly, when hunting.

This can be rats chewing wires, wasps blocking pipes, mice destroying filters, ants infesting everything, or even geckos and frogs shorting circuit boards. As you can imagine this spells doom for your air conditioner, to top that off Vermin Strike isn’t covered by the manufacturer warranty. Air Conditioners are particularly susceptible to this, a large shady box with an abundance of water is a magnet to all creatures small and smaller. Just yesterday the Airconresi boys we’re dealing with a extremely nasty unit which had taken countless frogs lives. You would have thought by the 10th corps the other frogs would have suspected something was wrong. Sadly no, they just kept coming inside to meet their doom almost like they were hell bent on destroying this poor air conditioner. Their was however one survivor who was rescued and given a small lecture on the dangers of electricity before being release into the wild. After all this doom and gloom I can tell you there is a bright side. Most manufactures are producing vermin proof circuitry on their units."

They are below 2 kg (4 lb) in size, much smaller than cats. The presence of vermin can be noted if you are particularly observant, as they will occasionally blink into and out of view on the screen. The main distinctions between vermin and creatures are that vermin: Do not attack and cannot be engaged in combat or trigger traps, save those specifically made to trap them;Do not usually provide meat or bones. Only creepy crawlers can be butchered;Do not breed, but \"\"spawn\"\", spontaneously appearing in their natural environment or biome ;Are sometimes \"\" hateable \"\", meaning dwarves can have an anti- preference which gives them a negative thought when they see the hated vermin. Vermin can be problematic as many types feed on stockpiles, thus making it more difficult to keep enough food and drink to survive. Some species can even cause food to rot faster when left outside of a barrel or large pot. Vermin can be hunted by cats and peregrine falcons to reduce this problem, though the remains will still need to be removed. Cats and falcons can be pastured at the relevant stockpiles to further reduce the problem."

It is about 20 cm (8 in) long and has glossy black plumage with a metallic sheen, which is speckled with white at some times of year. The legs are pink and the bill is black in winter and yellow in summer; young birds have browner plumage than the adults. It is a noisy bird, especially in communal roosts and other gregarious situations, with an unmusical but varied song. Its gift for mimicry has been noted in literature including the Mabinogion and the works of Pliny the Elder and William Shakespeare. The common starling has about a dozen subspecies breeding in open habitats across its native range in temperate Europe and western Asia, and it has been introduced to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, South Africa and Fiji. [ 2] This bird is resident in southern and western Europe and southwestern Asia, while northeastern populations migrate south and west in winter within the breeding range and also further south to Iberia and North Africa. The common starling builds an untidy nest in a natural or artificial cavity in which four or five glossy, pale blue eggs are laid. These take two weeks to hatch and the young remain in the nest for another three weeks. There are normally one or two breeding attempts each year."

You may be surprised. Even the most experienced writers have problems remembering all the rules. Learn the basics of comma usage in this first of two lessons on the comma. Correct Comma Usage Do you get confused when trying to place a comma in a sentence? Are you befuddled when the commas you thought you'd placed correctly in your paper come back with red marks all over them, moved about seemingly willy-nilly? Unfortunately, the only way to defeat this scourge of grammatical correctness is to know your comma usage rules. So let's take a look at a few of the most common ways to use commas. Separating Elements in a Series The comma is used to signify a slight pause in a sentence. These pauses are more slight than a period, exclamation mark, question mark, or semicolon, but it is there nonetheless."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Languages Introduction to the Basic Rules of Punctuation Conventions and Guidelines Share Flipboard Email Printby Richard Nordquist Updated February 23, 2018Like many of the so-called \"\"laws\"\" of grammar, the rules for using punctuation would never hold up in court. These rules, in fact, are conventions that have changed over the centuries. They vary across national boundaries ( American punctuation, followed here, differs from British practice) and even from one writer to the next. Until the 18th century, punctuation was primarily related to spoken delivery ( elocution ), and the marks were interpreted as pauses that could be counted out. For example, in An Essay on Elocution (1748), John Mason suggested this sequence of pauses: \"\"A Comma stops the Voice while we may privately tell one, a Semi-colon two; a Colon three; and a Period four.\"\" This declamatory basis for punctuation gradually gave way to the syntactic approach used today. Understanding the principles behind the common marks of punctuation should strengthen your understanding of grammar and help you to use the marks consistently in your own writing. As Paul Robinson observes in his essay \"\"The Philosophy of Punctuation\"\" (in Opera, Sex, and Other Vital Matters, 2002), \"\"Punctuation has the primary responsibility of contributing to the plainness of one's meaning. It has the secondary responsibility of being as invisible as possible, of not calling attention to itself. \"\" With these goals in mind, we'll direct you to guidelines for correctly using the most common marks of punctuation: periods, question marks, exclamation points, commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, apostrophes, and quotation marks."

Please use the example at the bottom of this page to cite the Purdue OWL in MLA. See also our MLA vidcast series on the Purdue OWL You Tube Channel. Creating a Works Cited list using the eighth edition MLA has turned to a style of documentation that is based on a general method that may be applied to every possible source, to many different types of writing. But since texts have become increasingly mobile, and the same document may be found in several different sources, following a set of fixed rules is no longer sufficient. The current system is based on a few principles, rather than an extensive list of specific rules. While the handbook still gives examples of how to cite sources, it is organized according to the process of documentation, rather than by the sources themselves."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Oxford comma\"\" redirects here. For the song, see Oxford Comma (song). In English language punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called an Oxford comma or a Harvard comma) [1] is a comma placed immediately before the coordinating conjunction (usually and or or) in a series of three or more terms. For example, a list of three countries might be punctuated either as \"\"France, Italy, and Spain\"\" (with the serial comma), or as \"\"France, Italy and Spain\"\" (without the serial comma). [ 2] [3] [4]Opinions among writers and editors differ on whether to use the serial comma, and usage also differs somewhat between regional varieties of English. In American English, not using a serial comma is often characterized as a journalistic style of writing, in contrast to a more academic or formal style. A majority of American style guides mandate use of the serial comma, including APA style, [5] The Chicago Manual of Style, The MLA Style Manual, Strunk and White 's Elements of Style, [6] and the U. S. Government Printing Office Style Manual. In contrast, the Associated Press Stylebook advises against it. In Canada, the stylebook published by The Canadian Press advises against it. It is used less often in British English, [7] but a few British style guides require it – notably including The Oxford Style Manual. ["

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In English grammar, a comma splice or comma fault [1] [2] is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. For example: It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark. [ a]The comma splice is sometimes used in literary writing to convey a particular mood of informality. Otherwise, it is usually considered a style error in English. Most authorities on English usage consider comma splices appropriate in limited situations, such as in informal writing or with short similar phrases. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 In literature3 Notes4 References5 Further reading6 External links Overview [ edit]Comma splices are rare in most published writing, but are common for inexperienced writers of English. [ 1] [4]The original 1918 edition of The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. advises using a semicolon, [5] not a comma, to join two grammatically complete clauses, except when the clauses are \"\"very short\"\" and \"\"similar in form\"\", for example: The gate swung apart, the bridge fell, the portcullis was drawn up. [ 5]Comma splices are similar to run-on sentences, which join two independent clauses without any punctuation and without a conjunction such as and, but for, etc. Sometimes the two types of sentences are treated differently based on the presence or absence of a comma, but most writers consider the comma splice as a special type of run-on sentence. [ 4] According to Garner's Modern English Usage: [M]ost usage authorities accept comma splices when (1) the clauses are short and closely related, (2) there is no danger of a miscue, and (3) the context is informal [...] But even when all three criteria are met, some readers are likely to object.

For example: \"\"woman, without her man, is nothing\"\" (emphasizing the importance of men), and \"\"woman: without her, man is nothing\"\" (emphasizing the importance of women) have very different meanings; as do \"\"eats shoots and leaves\"\" (which means the subject consumes plant growths) and \"\"eats, shoots, and leaves\"\" (which means the subject eats first, then fires a weapon, and then leaves the scene). [ 3] The sharp differences in meaning are produced by the simple differences in punctuation within the example pairs, especially the latter."

"text": "\"The Rules for Using Commas This page explains when to use commas and gives examples for each type of comma usage. Using Commas after \"\"Setting the Scene\"\"It is quite common for a sentence to start with words which \"\"set the scene.\"\" These words usually state a place, a time, a condition, or a fact before the main part of the sentence. Words that \"\"set the scene\"\" at the start of a sentence are usually followed by a comma. You do not have to use a comma; i.e., it is not a strict ruling. It's just a common style. However, as it will help your reader, it is a useful style to adopt. For example: In Paris, they simply stared when I spoke to them in French. ( sets a place) At exactly 4 o'clock, two of the kidnappers re-entered the room. ( sets a time) If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. ("

This is just a quick reference guide for the most common uses and misuses of the comma. Here are a few of the most common places to use commas: To separate items in a list. We bought eggs, milk, and bread. To separate introductory words and phrases from the main clause. Laughing, he stood up. Laughing at the stupidity of it, he stood up. With the laughter getting louder, we realized he had stood up. To separate nonessential words and phrases, as well as dependant clauses, from the main clause. In this case, the sentence should still make sense if you remove the nonessential words and phrases."

Lately he’s been bringing a few dozen with him when he comes to visit. The oyster eaters among us gather and have quite the feast when he arrives. My favorite accompaniment to fresh, raw oysters is this mignonette—a piquant sauce made with vinegar and shallots that you sprinkle on top of the oyster, much like a squeeze of lemon juice.

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Previously oysters were thought to contain high amounts of cholesterol but now, since new methods of calculating cholesterol levels are more accurate, oysters have been removed from the restricted list. Oysters are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. They are also a very good source of high quality protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and iron. A three ounce cooked portion of oysters contains only 93 milligrams of cholesterol Oysters are not only delicious, but they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

If you head there and watch the video you’ll see Eric and I eating ours raw! But not everyone likes raw oysters, so here’s a really simple recipe for grilled oysters without a grill. We like cooking them under the broiler if it’s the middle of winter and we don’t want to go out in the cold to grill oysters. I’ll also walk you through how to preserve fresh oysters if they’re not being eaten immediately. Typically when you buy fresh oysters they are kept on ice in the seafood market, but most of us don’t have a big bucket of ice to keep our oysters in! They are usually put into a plastic bag and wrapped in paper for you to take home. Whatever you do, DON’T leave them this way! Your oysters are still alive and will suffocate if left inside the bag. First you want to rinse the oysters, they’ve got lots of grit on them that you probably don’t want to be eating."

In this blog I officially come out of the closet, err, shell. I am almost sure that cultivated mussels and oysters are ethical to eat. I argue eating these animals is completely consistent with the spirit if not the letter of ethical veganism and the tenet of causing less harm with our consumer choices 1. This blog is on bivalve sentience/ability to suffer; for further arguments, including nutrition arguments, see my second blog. Are mussels and oysters sentient? Dividing organisms up into types, or cladistics, is tricky business. Nature did not develop in a way that fits neatly into categories. Dividing up organisms on the basis of sentience, or the ability to suffer, may be even trickier. So, is there any evidence that mussels and oysters don’t suffer?"

These include the ability of oysters to aid in weight loss, boost metabolic activity, increase tissue repair and growth, lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, improve immune functions, aid in wound healing, and promote healthy growth. Furthermore, they are a powerful aphrodisiac, can improve blood circulation, and also increase bone strength to reduce osteoporosis. Oysters Oysters are one type of bivalve mollusks that are eaten by cultures throughout the world. There are multiple varieties of oysters, some of which primarily create pearls; these are not typically consumed by people, but the variety of oysters bearing the scientific family name of Ostreidae are eaten as a delicacy. These are also called true oysters, while feathered oysters (those bearing pearls) are in a distant family called Pteriidae. Edible oysters have been a part of the human diet for at least 700 years, but have likely been eaten in raw or cooked forms for much longer. The edible component is the meat inside the oyster, and once the shells have been cracked, you can cook this meat in a variety of ways. They can also be eaten raw and are often preferred in that way. The valves in oysters can actually cleanse the entire ecosystem of pollutants and are a major benefit to the environment, however, in recent years, the population of oysters in the world has dropped significantly, resulting in weaker overall ecosystems in the areas where oysters once flourished."

When properly cared for live oysters will live in your refrigerator for 10 to 21 days. Are they alive? When oysters are dead in their shells they are no longer suitable to eat. To see if your oysters are alive, the shell should be closed or close when tapped lightly. Keep in a moist environment: Store your oysters in the refrigerator covered with a moist cloth or keep in the shipping box. Keep oysters cupped or curved side down to preserve their natural juices - they need to keep moist to breathe. Also you should avoid storing near any moving air (i.e. Cooling fans). You should never submerge your oysters for any period of time in freshwater. Oysters need to breathe and should not be stored in an airtight bag or container."

My destination was the Island Creek Oyster farm, an oyster farm set in the cold, salty water of Duxbury Bay, about 30 minutes southeast of Boston. For years I've slurped oysters from their shell with little knowledge of how these bivalves came to be, but that was all about to change. Open Grower Tour The History of Island Creek Oysters Island Creek Oysters' founder and lifelong Duxbury resident Skip Bennett started farming oysters here in Duxbury Bay in 1995. Since he was the first person to try growing oysters in this part of the country, it took about six years before he had his first big crop. \"\" Skip likes to say he killed a lot of oysters in the process of figuring out how to make them live,\"\" says Chris Sherman, Vice President of Island Creek Oysters, and my guide and oyster guru for the day. Back then Skip sold around a 100 bags a week (each bag held 100 oysters). Now Island Creek Oysters sells 120,000 oysters a week, and services 350 chef accounts around the country.

I’m harvesting mushrooms twelve days after I started growing them. Oyster mushrooms (there are several varieties and subspecies) are some of the most nutritious around. According to R. H. Kurtzman, Ph D., they are rich sources of high-quality proteins and amino acids, B vitamins, and pro-vitamin D (the vitamin a lot of people are missing these days, as indoor jobs means little sun exposture). Minerals such as iron and potassium are also present. And oyster mushrooms are high in chitin; he recommends them as a cleaner source for chitin than shellfish. Medical studies show benefits of oyster mushrooms. They’re a good source of glucosamine, which often helps people and animals with joint problems. ( Glucosamine works very well for some, but not others ) Several studies are now showing that oyster mushrooms lower cholesterol."

Seed can be produced from a hatchery or harvested from the wild. The type of seed you will start with in this program is \"\"spat-on-shell\"\" or cultched oysters produced from a hatchery. In producing spat-on-shell in the hatchery, whole oyster shell is first dried out on land in order to remove organic material that could degrade water quality in the setting tanks. Shell is placed in plastic mesh bags and stacked in the tanks - river water is then added and heated to temperatures that will enhance the setting of free-swimming larval oysters. Once the oysters have attached themselves, metamorphosed and set, they are then referred to as spat. Spat are generally kept in the tanks for several days, then removed to a nursery area where tides and currents provide the water exchange necessary for growth and survival (\"\"Producing Oyster Seed By Remote Setting\"\" provides additional information). Cultched oysters can exhibit rapid growth, sometimes reaching 25 mm (one inch) in two to three months after settlement. Growth is extremely variable and depends on the interaction of many water quality factors, especially, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, and food availability.

Smog is a form of air pollution that’s particularly hazardous on hot days. Why should you worry about smoggy days? According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it can be dangerous to breathe in too much smog. Smog contains a pollutant called ozone, and elevated ozone levels can have a variety of negative effects on your lungs. Smog is most common in big cities, though people living in suburban areas also need to be conscious of its dangers. If you need to pass through a metropolitan area during a family vacation or road trip, it’s also wise to be aware of smog conditions.

This layer absorbs 93--99% of the sun's high frequency ultraviolet light,which is potentially damaging to life on earth. Over 91% of the ozone in earth's atmosphere is present here It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 10 km to 50km above earth.

Greenhouse gases-----Green house gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases in the earth atmosphere are water vapor,carbon dioxide,methane,nitrous oxide and ozone. Greenhouse gases greatly effect the temperature of the earth.

Before you go on, I’m not sure I really understand the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Can you give me a hand here? Sure. To make a long story short, non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize atoms. However, it can cause molecules to vibrate and rotate, which means things will start heating up. Typically, the different types of non-ionizing radiation are classified by frequency, which is stated in units of “hertz”, abbreviated as “Hz”. What are these classifications?

Some people have argued that drinking ozonated water has no proven scientific benefits and may even be unhealthy. Others believe that ozone has significant healing properties. Therapeutic use of ozone is not endorsed by the medical associations in English speaking countries. In fact, most states in America prohibit the use and/or marketing of ozone generators. The FDA and pharmaceutical companies have been suppressing all forms of ozone therapy for many years. The reason may simply be because it is so effective and is thus a threat to the medical and pharmaceutical companies.

For example, things like litter and graffiti, left unchecked, can build up and lead to further anti-social behaviour and more serious crime. The annual cost of road traffic noise in England has been estimated at £7 billion to £10 billion. There is increasing evidence of direct links between road traffic noise and various types of illness, like heart attacks and strokes. Air pollution, for example from road transport, harms our health and wellbeing. It is estimated to have an effect equivalent to 29,000 deaths each year and is expected to reduce the life expectancy of everyone in the UK by 6 months on average, at a cost of around £16 billion per year.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Astronomy & Space What is the earths magnetic fields function? What does the Earths magnetic field do, how does it protect earth. If the magnetic field would fail, would we be able to survive anyway? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Earth's magnetic field (also known as the geomagnetic field) is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's inner core to where it meets the solar wind, a stream of energetic particles emanating from the Sun. It is approximately the field of a magnetic dipole tilted at an angle of 11 degrees with respect to the rotational axis—as if there were a bar magnet placed at that angle at the center of the Earth. However, unlike the field of a bar magnet, Earth's field changes over time because it is really generated by the motion of molten iron alloys in the Earth's outer core (the geodynamo). The Magnetic North Pole wanders, fortunately slowly enough that the compass is useful for navigation. At random intervals (averaging several hundred thousand years) the Earth's field reverses (the north and south geomagnetic poles change places with each other). These reversals leave a record in rocks that allow paleomagnetists to calculate past motions of continents and ocean floors as a result of plate tectonics. The region above the ionosphere, and extending several tens of thousands of kilometers into space, is called the magnetosphere."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What is the difference between the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect? ? 2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Damage to the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect are both caused by different things, and have different results. The greenhouse effect is caused by a build up of gases (notably carbon dioxide and methane, among others) in the atmosphere that prevent heat radiating from the planet's surface out into space. This means that gradually more heat is retained by the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The ozone layer is damaged by gases such as Chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) which thins the ozone layer, or causes it to disappear completely in places (over the poles, generally). The ozone layer prevents harmful ultra violet light from penetrating the atmosphere, so without it exposure to the sun leads to an increased risk of skin cancer, sunburn, etc. Mickey T · 9 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Ozone Layer And Greenhouse Effect Source (s):https://shorte.im/bav O0gregoreski · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The ozone layer protects us from some of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation by absorbing some of the UVB rays. The greenhouse effect: (1) The sun heats the ground. ( 2) The ground radiates the heat back, but at lower wavelength. ( 3) Gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane prevent this heat from escaping into space. ("

But the important properties of ozone that make that hole so very important, and the chemistry behind the hole, are perhaps less well known. Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen. Allotropes are different forms of the same element, for example diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon. The oxygen in air is made up of two oxygen atoms bonded together, and is formally called dioxygen. Ozone is dioxygen's slightly bigger sibling, being comprised of three oxygen atoms. For such a small molecule so closely related to dioxygen, the chemical composition of ozone perplexed 19th century chemists for many years. Ozone is a pale blue gas, and it has a pungent, bleach-like odour. Indeed, the name ozone is derived from the Greek word ozein, meaning 'to smell'."

Similarly, the ozone layer, also known as ozone shield, was formed in the stratosphere region of atmosphere. Stratosphere extends from 15 to 60 km above the earth’s surface. This layer absorbs ultraviolet rays given out by the sun. It contains high content of ozone gas i.e. O3 gas. This layer is mostly found in the lower layer of the stratosphere. The thickness of this layer varies according to the season and geographic conditions. This gas is formed naturally. Its chemical formula is O3."

The HEPA air purifier is considered the best on the market and is 99.97 percent effective according to Happy Living. Other air purifier systems may lack in effectiveness for various reasons; air purifiers that use ozone instead of HEPA filters have been found to cause harmful effects on people's health. Air Contaminants Certain air purifier companies claim to remove toxic indoor pollutants. Ozone is a common indoor and outdoor highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. Exposure to ozone is dangerous. This ground-level ozone is harmful when it reacts between two major classes of air pollutants: volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides—mostly emitted from man-made pollutants (gasoline, chemical plants and other industrial product). According to MSNBC Consumer Reports, air purifiers are supposed to remove certain toxic levels of troposphere ozone from an indoor environment. However, the Consumer’s Union in 2005 found certain air purifiers are ineffective in removing airborne ozone pollutants. When the third atom on the ozone detaches itself from the other two atoms, it reattaches itself to the molecules of other airborne substances, changing their chemical composition."

"text": "\"Depletion of the Ozone Layer Last updated January 7, 2018 5:44:06 PM PST Share Table of contents The earth's stratospheric ozone layer plays a critical role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. In the last thirty years, it has been discovered that stratospheric ozone is depleting as a result of anthropogenic pollutants. There are a number of chemical reactions that can deplete stratospheric ozone; however, some of the most significant of these involves the catalytic destruction of ozone by halogen radicals such as chlorine and bromine. Introduction The atmosphere of the Earth is divided into five layers. In order of closest and thickest to farthest and thinnest the layers are listed as follows: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The majority of the ozone in the atmosphere resides in the stratosphere, which extends from six miles above the Earth’s surface to 31 miles. Humans rely heavily on the absorption of ultraviolet B rays by the ozone layer because UV-B radiation causes skin cancer and can lead to genetic damage. The ozone layer has historically protected the Earth from the harmful UV rays, although in recent decades this protection has diminished due to stratospheric ozone depletion. Figure : These images from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) show the progressive depletion of ozone over Antarctica from 1979 to 1999.

For many patients who have, or who are suspected of having pancreatic disease, their doctor may recommend that they undergo a type of procedure called an endoscopic ultrasound, or more often known as EUS. An EUS is a type of endoscopic examination. It involves the insertion of a thin tube into the mouth and down into the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. At the tip of the tube is a small ultrasound probe that emits sound waves. These sound waves bounce off of the surrounding structures, such as the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, bile ducts, and liver. These sound waves are then recaptured by the probe and converted into black and white images that are then interpreted by your doctor. Because the pancreas sits next to the stomach and small intestine, EUS allows the physician to get very detailed images of the pancreas. This procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting, and usually takes between 20 and 45 minutes. What are the reasons why I need an EUS?"

It is the most common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract and is present in approximately 2% of the population, [1] with males more frequently experiencing symptoms. Meckel's diverticulum was first explained by Fabricius Hildanus in the sixteenth century and later named after Johann Friedrich Meckel, who described the embryological origin of this type of diverticulum in 1809.

An asymptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is called a silent Meckel's diverticulum. [ 4] If symptoms do occur, they typically appear before the age of two years. The most common presenting symptom is painless rectal bleeding such as melaena -like black offensive stools, followed by intestinal obstruction, volvulus and intussusception. Occasionally, Meckel's diverticulitis may present with all the features of acute appendicitis. Also, severe pain in the epigastric region is experienced by the patient along with bloating in the epigastric and umbilical regions."

Recently, the terminology and classification scheme proposed at the initial Atlanta Symposium have been reviewed and a new consensus statement has been proposed by the Acute Pancreatitis Classification Working Group. Major changes include subdividing acute fluid collections into “acute peripancreatic fluid collection” and “acute post-necrotic pancreatic/peripancreatic fluid collection (acute necrotic collection)” based on the presence of necrotic debris. Delayed fluid collections have been similarly subdivided into “pseudocyst” and “walled of pancreatic necrosis”. Appropriate use of the new terms describing the fluid collections is important for management decision-making in patients with acute pancreatitis. The purpose of this review article is to present an overview of complications of the acute pancreatitis with emphasis on their prognostic significance and impact on clinical management and to clarify confusing terminology for pancreatic fluid collections. Previous article Next article Keywords Acute pancreatitis Complication Computed tomography Magnetic resonance imaging Walled of pancreatic necrosis Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pancreas that may also involve peripancreatic tissues and even remote organs. Patients with acute pancreatitis may present with a mild, self-limiting disease without complications or severe disease, which results in local or systemic complications with significant morbidity and mortality."

A wide variety of cystic lesions of the pancreas are seen, but pseudocysts are by far most common. Cystic neoplasms are often misdiagnosed as pseudocysts, which occurred in 22 of 67 patients in one series [ 1 ]. This indicates the difficulty in diagnosis and at the same time emphasizes the need to obtain clinical information to provide the most accurate diagnosis by consulting with the referring physician regarding virtually every patient who is found to have a pancreatic mass. In addition, knowledge of fundamental clinical [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ], pathologic [ 2 ], laboratory, and imaging [ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] information related to specific cystic pancreatic lesions can be used to decrease misdiagnosis, to narrow the differential diagnosis, or, in some cases, to provide a diagnosis. In this review, a gamut of pancreatic and parapancreatic masses is illustrated and arranged according to disease category. Basic clinical, pathologic, and imaging features are presented. Pancreatic lesions are imaged with CT [ 6, 7, 8 ], sonography [ 9, 11 ], MR imaging [ 10 ], endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and angiography."

( Also known as/Synonyms)Pancreatic Lipoma What is Lipoma of Pancreas? ( Definition/Background Information)Lipoma of Pancreas is a benign tumor of the pancreas consisting of fat tissues (adipose tissues). It typically occurs in middle-aged and older adults Most tumors do not cause any signs and symptoms, but in some individuals due to the large size of the tumor, there may be abdominal pain, indigestion, and loss of appetite In many cases, these tumors are detected on radiological exams undertaken for some other health condition. Generally, no treatment is necessary for Lipoma of Pancreas. Though, surgery is an option for tumors that present severe symptoms The prognosis of Pancreatic Lipoma is excellent with appropriate treatment, since it is a benign tumor The pancreas is an important organ of the digestive system. Based on function of the pancreas, it can be functionally divided into 2 parts, namely: Exocrine pancreas, which produces digestive enzymes, and Endocrine pancreas that produces hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. Insulin and glucagon helps with controlling sugar levels in blood95% of the pancreas is exocrine portion and 5% is endocrine portion. Pancreatic tumors (both benign and malignant) can arise from both the exocrine and the endocrine part Based upon anatomy of the pancreas, it can be divided into 3 main parts, namely the: Head,Body, and Tail Pancreatic tumors can affect the head, body, and tail region of the pancreas."

The pancreas is composed of glands that are responsible for a wide variety of tasks. The glandular functions of the pancreas can be divided into the following two categories: Exocrine: The exocrine glands secrete enzymes into ducts that eventually empty into the duodenum. These enzymes then help in the digestion of food as it moves through the intestines. Endocrine: The endocrine glands secrete hormones, including insulin, into the bloodstream. Insulin is carried by the blood throughout the rest of the body to assist in the process of using sugar as an energy source. Insulin also controls the levels of sugar in the blood. The pancreas can be divided into the following four anatomical sections: Head -- The rightmost portion that lies adjacent to the duodenum Uncinate process -- An extension of the head of the pancreas Body -- The middle portion of the pancreas Tail -- The leftmost portion of the pancreas that lies adjacent to the spleen The most common type of pancreatic cancer arises from the exocrine glands and is called adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The endocrine glands of the pancreas can give rise to a completely different type of cancer, referred to as pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma or islet cell tumor. This article only discusses issues related to the more common type of pancreatic adenocarcinoma."

Loss of exocrine and endocrine function results from parenchymal fibrosis. The primary symptoms of CP are abdominal pain and maldigestion. Because of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, an interdisciplinary management strategy is required. Back to Top Epidemiology The incidence of CP ranges from 1.6 to 23 cases per 100,000 population per year worldwide. Chronic pancreatitis in the United States results in more than 122,000 outpatient visits and more than 56,000 hospitalizations per year. Back to Top Pathophysiology Grossly, the pancreas may be enlarged or atrophic, with or without cysts or calcifications. The ducts may be dilated, irregular, or strictured. Essential pathologic features include irregular and patchy loss of acinar tissue, chronic inflammation, ductal changes, and fibrosis. These gross changes are end-manifestations of complex pathogenic mechanisms that are associated with gene mutations, metabolic and environmental factors."

"text": "\"10 Early Warning Signs of Pancreatic Cancer By Melanie Haiken, Health Journalist | Last updated: Feb 06, 2018All Rights Reserved The average general health article on pancreatic cancer states flatly that this type of cancer shows no early symptoms. Most people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are already in the advanced stage of the disease by the time it's caught, and the typical prognosis is death within five years. Only 4 percent of pancreatic cancer patients live beyond five years. In recent years, pancreatic cancer has claimed the lives of numerous celebrities and public figures, including Steve Jobs, actor Patrick Swayze, and actress Bonnie Franklin, leading many people to ask the key question, \"\"Are there any early warning signs of pancreatic cancer? \"\" The answer is yes, there are. But to understand these signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer, it's important to understand where the pancreas is, and what it does. Located deep inside the abdomen, the pancreas is only 4 to 6 inches long and shaped like a tadpole. In the \"\"tail\"\" of the pancreas are cells that produce insulin, and tumors at this end are usually endocrine tumors. They're easier to diagnose, but are much rarer. At the other end, the \"\"head\"\" of the pancreas, are cells that produce digestive enzymes, and tumors at this end are called exocrine tumors."

Introduction Section: Choose prevnext The ampulla of Vater is located in the major duodenal papilla and represents the junction of the common bile duct (CBD) and main pancreatic duct of Wirsung ( Fig 1 ). The term ampulla is defined as a dilated common channel that is formed where the two ducts combine. However, the use of this terminology is controversial because the presence of a common channel is inconstant, and actual dilatation of the common channel is unusual. Figure 1 Drawing shows the ampulla and periampullary region, which includes the duodenum, pancreas, and CBD. Open in Image Viewer The joining of the CBD and main pancreatic duct may occur in three ways. Most commonly (60%), the CBD and main pancreatic duct join to form a common channel that is 1–8 mm in length. Less often (38%), a common channel is not present, and instead there is a single orifice in the papilla that contains a separate opening for each duct (double-barrel configuration)."

Barnes, MDPublished: August 2010Contents Gallbladder diseases Gallbladder diseases considered here include gallstones, tumors, and acute acalculous cholecystitis. Gallstones and Cholecystitis Definition and Etiology Gallbladder stones are an extremely common disorder and are usually asymptomatic. Some patients experience biliary colic, an intermittent and often severe pain in the epigastrium or right upper quadrant, and at times between the scapula because of temporary obstruction of the cystic duct with a gallstone. If the cystic duct obstruction persists, the gallbladder becomes inflamed and the patient develops cholecystitis, an acute inflammation and infection of the gallbladder. Prevalence and Risk Factors It is estimated that there are 20.5 million cases of gallbladder disease in the United States, 14.2 million of whom are in women. 1 More than 600,000 cholecystectomies per year are performed in the United States, most of which are for symptomatic gallstone disease. Epidemiologic studies have shown variations in the prevalence of gallstones in different ethnic populations, with particularly high rates in Native Americans. In addition to ethnic background, other risk factors for the development of gallstones include diabetes, rapid weight loss, morbid obesity, cirrhosis, and conditions associated with infrequent gallbladder emptying, such as total parenteral nutrition. Pathophysiology and Natural History Most gallstones are composed primarily of cholesterol, with smaller amounts of mucus, calcium bilirubinate, and protein. Pigment stones, a result of hemolysis, are less common and are made primarily of calcium bilirubinate."

Secretin stimulates the pancreas to release a fluid that neutralizes stomach acid and aids in digestion. The secretin stimulation test measures the ability of the pancreas to respond to secretin. This test may be performed to determine the activity of the pancreas in people with diseases that affect the pancreas (for example, cystic fibrosis or pancreatic cancer ). During the test, a health care professional places a tube down the throat, into the stomach, then into the upper part of the small intestine.

In an audit of 2,068 patients who underwent CT examinations at a large tertiary care hospital, Naik et al. [ 2] found that acute pancreatitis and its complications were the most common indication for abdominal CT. Because patients with pancreatitis are often young and require multiple follow-up CT examinations, substitution of MRI for CT in some patients would reduce the collective radiation dose considerably. MRI can have an important role in staging the severity of acute pancreatitis and may be superior to other imaging techniques for the characterization of peripancreatic collections [ 3 – 5 ]. Vascular complications such as pseudoaneurysms and venous thrombosis may also be detected. However, some patients have contraindications to MRI and its role in imaging patients with severe pancreatitis is unclear because these patients are often too ill to undergo multiple breath-hold sequences. In addition, cost may be an issue."

It is one of 32 Puma concolor subspecies known by many names – puma, cougar, mountain lion, painter, catamount and panther. © U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Florida panthers once prowled and flourished in woodlands and swamps throughout the Southeast. When European settlers arrived in the 1600s, the clear-cutting, building and other human activities that destroy, degrade and fragment habitat began, and the fear and misconceptions that led to panther persecution took root. Today, the panther is recognized as Florida’s official state animal but it is one the most endangered mammals on Earth. Did You Know? Proportionately, panthers have the largest hind legs of any cat, allowing them to leap up to 15 feet vertically and 45 feet horizontally. Panthers are an umbrella species: Protecting them and the vast, unspoiled, wild territory each one needs to survive—an average of 200 square miles for a single male—protects many other plants and animals that live there. At the top of the food chain, these cats help keep feral hog numbers in check and deer, raccoon and other prey populations balanced and healthy. Diet Florida panthers primarily eat white-tailed deer, but they will also hunt feral hog, rabbit, raccoon, armadillo, birds and other animals."

In 1967, the Department of the Interior listed the Florida panther as an endangered subspecies. Since then, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service has worked closely with the state of Florida, as well as other federal agencies and private partners to make significant progress towards achieving recovery. Under the current Recovery Plan, established in 2008, the Service will consider delisting the panther when three populations of at least 240 individuals each (excluding dependent-aged kittens) have been established, and sufficient habitat to support these populations is secured in the long-term. These recovery goals cannot be met without establishing additional populations outside of southern Florida, requiring support from private landowners. In 2013, the Service formed a Florida Panther Recovery Implementation Team, consisting of members representing the Service, National Park Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and other stakeholders, with a mandate to prioritize and facilitate management and research activities that are crucial to the achieving the recovery goals identified in the 2008 Recovery Plan. Florida panther kittens have blue eyes, and a spotted coat. which helps to camouflage them better from potential predators. Appearance – An adult Florida panther is unspotted and typically tan in overall coloration, but may be darker brown to rust-colored along the midline of the back. The underside is dull white or buff-colored."

"text": "\"Aug. 29, 2011 -- The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has received photographic evidence of the presence of a cougar in Vernon Parish. A private citizen sent LDWF a trail camera picture taken Aug. 13, 2011. LDWF Large Carnivore Program Manager Maria Davidson and biologist Brandon Wear conducted a site investigation that confirmed the authenticity of the photograph. “It is quite possible for this animal to be captured on other trail cameras placed at deer bait sites,” Davidson said. “ Deer are the primary prey item for cougars; therefore, they are drawn to areas where deer congregate. ”It is unlikely this cougar will remain in any one area longer than it would take to consume a kill. Cougars do not prefer to eat spoiled meat and will move on as soon as the Louisiana heat and humidity take its toll on the kill. “It is impossible to determine if the animal in the photograph is a wild, free-ranging cougar, or an escaped captive,\"\" Davidson added. “ Although it is illegal to own a cougar in Louisiana, it is possible that there are some illegally held ’pets’ in the state. ”LDWF has documented several occurrences since 2002."

Newton As PDFHuey Percy Newton was a revolutionary political activist who co-founded the Black Panther Party along with Bobby Seale. Interest in radical politics came naturally to Newton whose father was an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP); in fact, he was named after the radical politician Huey Long who was the former governor of Louisiana. He grew up poor and often found himself the victim of racial discrimination which disgusted him. In spite of attending several public schools, he was never taught anything of value which forced him to self-educate himself. He already began having brushes with the law by the time he was a teenager. He became involved in politics while at college where he met Bobby Seale. The duo formed the Black Panther party with a view to protect the black community from racial attacks and police brutality. The party soon became very popular and had members in several cities throughout the U. S. Newton believed in the use of violence to achieve his means and the party was soon described by the FBI as being a threat to national security."

"text": "Alternative Title: Leroy Eldridge Cleaver Eldridge Cleaver, in full Leroy Eldridge Cleaver, (born 1935, Wabbaseka, near Little Rock, Arkansas, U. S.—died May 1, 1998, Pomona, California), American black militant whose autobiographical volume Soul on Ice (1968) is a classic statement of black alienation in the United States. Cleaver was an inmate of correctional institutions in California almost constantly from his junior high school days until 1966 for crimes ranging from possession of marijuana to assault with intent to murder. While in prison, he supplemented his incomplete education with wide reading and became a follower of the Black Muslim separatist Malcolm X. He also began writing the essays that would eventually be collected in Soul on Ice, and whose publication in Ramparts magazine helped him win parole in 1966. After being paroled, Cleaver met Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, who had just founded the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California. Cleaver soon became the party’s minister of information. The publication in 1968 of Soul on Ice, a collection of angry memoirs in which Cleaver traced his political evolution while denouncing American racism, made him a leading black radical spokesman. In April 1968, however, he was involved in a shoot-out in Oakland between Black Panthers and police that left one Panther dead and Cleaver and two police officers wounded. Faced with reimprisonment after the shoot-out, Cleaver jumped bail in November 1968 and fled first to Cuba and then to Algeria. Eldridge Cleaver, 1968. Marion S. Trikosko/Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. (LC-DIG-ppmsc-01265)Having broken with the Panthers in 1971 and grown disillusioned with communism, Cleaver returned voluntarily to the United States in 1975."

It originated in 1948 as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party determined to protect states' rights to legislate racial segregation from what its members regarded as an oppressive federal government. [ 1] Supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states. The Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy in the face of possible federal intervention. Its members were referred to as \"\"Dixiecrats\"\", a portmanteau of \"\" Dixie \"\", referring to the Southern United States, and \"\"Democrat\"\". The party did not run local or state candidates, and after the 1948 election its leaders generally returned to the Democratic Party. [ 2] The Dixiecrats had little short-run impact on politics.

This season marked the first time in team history they played on Thanksgiving. Despite waiving longtime running back and franchise rushing leader De Angelo Williams and losing top wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to a torn ACL in the preseason, [1] the Panthers had their best regular season in franchise history and one of the best regular seasons in NFL history. They finished the regular season 15–1, becoming the seventh team to win at least 15 regular season games since the league expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978. The Panthers joined the 1984 San Francisco 49ers, 1985 Chicago Bears (for whom Rivera played as a linebacker), 1998 Minnesota Vikings, 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers, 2007 New England Patriots (who were a perfect 16–0 in the regular season) and the 2011 Green Bay Packers as the only teams to accomplish this feat. Carolina started the season 14–0, not only setting franchise records for the best start and the longest single-season winning streak, but also posting the best start to a season by an NFC team since the NFL–AFL merger, breaking the 13–0 record previously shared with the 2009 New Orleans Saints and the aforementioned 2011 Packers. They joined the 1972 Miami Dolphins, 2007 Patriots and 2009 Indianapolis Colts, all from the AFC, as the only teams to reach 14–0. Carolina clinched their third straight NFC South title on December 6, when the Atlanta Falcons lost earlier that day, becoming the first team to clinch a playoff berth that season, and giving the Panthers a home playoff game for the third consecutive year. The Panthers' undefeated streak came to an end at the hands of the Falcons in a Week 16 rematch. A week later, however, Carolina routed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to finish 15–1, giving the Panthers home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs for the first time in franchise history."

Williams, May 1961Born Robert Franklin Williams February 26, 1925 Monroe, North Carolina, United States Died October 15, 1996 (aged 71) Baldwin, Michigan, United States Occupation Civil rights leader, author Robert Franklin Williams (February 26, 1925 – October 15, 1996) was an American civil rights leader and author best known for serving as president of the Monroe, North Carolina chapter of the NAACP in the 1950s and into 1961. He succeeded in integrating the local public library and swimming pool in Monroe. At a time of high racial tension and official abuses, Williams promoted armed black self-defense in the United States. In addition, he helped gain support for gubernatorial pardons in 1959 for two young African-American boys who had received lengthy reformatory sentences in what was known as the Kissing Case of 1958. It generated national and international attention and criticism of the state. Williams obtained a charter from the National Rifle Association and set up a rifle club to defend blacks in Jonesboro from Ku Klux Klan or other attackers."

"text": "Help us establish Louisiana’s First Wildlife Crossing Calumet Crossing On Louisiana Highway 90 (LA 90) near Calumet, there exists an area where bears are routinely hit by vehicles. Large animals like bears and deer dart out on to the road from dense brush catching drivers by surprise. In 2009, this stretch of highway saw over 25 bear/vehicular collisions. Not only is this a needless loss of wildlife but hitting a bear can be fatal to drivers. The BBCC supports a wildlife crossing at this juncture. The crossing would connect habitat and reduce the number of bear/vehicular encounters. The proposed LA 90 crossing would be a slightly elevated portion of the highway with just enough height to allow animals to pass underneath. This construction would be the first such wildlife crossing project in the state and as such, has not yet received the prompt attention it deserves. The DOTD (Department of Transport and Development) will address a wildlife crossing if land on both sides of the highway is protected in perpetuity as public land or servitude protected. It is a wet area and unsuitable for agriculture which helps matters."

[ 1] [2] The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season. Before the draft, there was a debate on whether the Indianapolis Colts should select Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf with the first overall pick; both were considered excellent prospects and future franchise quarterbacks. Leaf was considered to have more upside and a stronger throwing arm, while Manning was considered a prospect who was NFL ready and more mature. On the day of the draft, the Colts selected Manning due to Leaf's disdain for Indianapolis. Manning went on to be a five-time Most Valuable Player award [3] winner, the most of any player in NFL history, and a two-time Super Bowl champion, whereas Leaf was out of the NFL by 2002 and is considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history.

"text": "Home Pregnancy & Birth My Pregnant Body Why do I need a Pap smear during pregnancy? Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Q: Why do I need a Pap smear during pregnancy? What's my doctor looking for? A: For the same reasons you've probably had Pap smears before getting pregnant, it's important to continue getting them once you're expecting. The test looks for changes to cells in the cervix (the lower end of your uterus) that could lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. A Pap is a routine part of ob-gyn visits, and you'll probably have one at your first prenatal appointment. At the same time, your doctor will also likely test for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), like chlamydia or gonorrhea, which could cause problems for your baby if left untreated. A Pap smear done during pregnancy will be the same as any other; it involves your doctor using a thin brush or tiny spatula to collect a sampling of cells from your cervix, which are then sent to a lab for evaluation. A cotton swab will also be used to collect a sample of your cervical and/or vaginal secretions to be tested for STDs. Pap results are usually available within one to two weeks depending on the lab your doctor uses."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Recommendations based on clinical guidelines: 1) Women 70 years of age or older who have had 3 or more normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal Pap test results in the last 10 years may choose to stop having cervical cancer testing. However, women with a history of cervical cancer, DES exposure before birth, HIV infection, or a weakened immune system should continue to have testing as long as they are in good health. 2) Women who have had a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix) may also choose to stop having cervical cancer testing, unless the surgery was done as a treatment for cervical cancer or precancer. However, women who have had a hysterectomy without removal of the cervix (simple hysterectomy) need to continue cervical cancer screening, and should continue to follow the guidelines above. Note: Some women believe that they can stop having Pap tests once they have stopped having children. This is not correct. They should continue to follow American Cancer Society guidelines.

Despite what most women think few women die in the United States each year because of cervical cancer. You may know a friend who had a pap smear showing a pre-cancerous condition of the cervix, known as dysplasia. You may even know a woman who had a condition called carcinoma in situ of the cervix, but these abnormalities are not life threatening as long as a woman is under a doctor’s care and doesn’t ignore the condition. The Pap smear was developed by Dr. George Papanicolaou in 1954. This painless technique has been responsible for saving tens of millions of lives world-wide since its use became popularized. The Pap smear is nothing more than an exam, by a health care provider, that involves the gentle brushing and removal of cells from the cervix to be examined under the microscope by a trained cytologist.

Most of the time HPV goes away without any kind of treatment. The body's natural defense system (immune system) will usually suppress or eliminate the virus, much like how the body gets rid of a common cold (colds are also caused by viruses). In a study of college women, the median duration of HPV infection was 8 months. Some types of the HPV virus can infect the genital epithelial cells (skin and mucous membranes).

"text": "Cancer Cervical Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment How Cervical Cancer Is Diagnosed By Lisa Fayed Updated March 02, 2018Share Pin Email Print OKrasyuk / Getty Images If you've heard of someone who has cervical cancer, if you have any pelvic symptoms, or if you have had an abnormal Pap smear, you may be wondering how cervical cancer is diagnosed. Let's look at what symptoms may suggest a cancer is present, screening methods, and specific tests such as colposcopy and biopsy procedures which are used in the diagnosis of this disease. Cervical cancer is often found before any symptoms are present; in other words, a person is usually asymptomatic. When screening guidelines for cervical cancer are followed, this is often the case, though there are times when the first sign that something is wrong may be symptoms. Symptoms Unlike other types of cancer, cervical cancer symptoms do not usually appear until the cancer has progressed to a fairly advanced stage. Because most women do not experience symptoms that prompt them to seek medical treatment, a regular Pap smear is essential for early detection. When symptoms are present they may include: Abnormal uterine bleeding - This can be bleeding that is heavier or lighter than normal, occurs between periods or after intercourse, or occurs after menopause Urinary frequency Pelvic pain, especially during intercourse Vaginal discharge The Pap Smear The Pap smear plays a vital role in diagnosing cervical cancer. It is how most women discover they suffer from cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. A Pap smear is a simple test that can reveal cervical abnormalities long before they progress into cancer. All women should have a regular Pap smear unless their physician has advised them they no longer need one."

The most serious complication associated with IUDs is infection. Early analyses suggested that IUDs might cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). These studies, however, often included only women with IUDs who had been hospitalized. Furthermore, these biased studies included controls who were using barrier methods of contraception (which decreased their risk of sexually transmitted diseases and PID). More recent analyses of these data have removed confounding factors and found no increased risk of PID in monogamous women. [ 7, 8, 9]To understand the risk of pelvic infection with an IUD, one must first understand how clinical infection occurs. The bacterial milieu of the vagina sits in a steady-state equilibrium in women who are in long-standing, mutually monogamous relationships. External factors can change in this vaginal environment."

"text": "Description of the test View larger image A Pap smear (also known as a Pap test) is useful in detecting, preventing, and treating cervical cancer. A Pap smear allows for the early detection of abnormal cells on the cervix - cells that may develop into cancer in the future. Cells are examined with a microscope in order to see any abnormalities. Pap tests are usually done at the doctor's office. Sometimes a nurse is present to observe or assist with the test. If you would like a nurse present, let your doctor know before the test begins. How often should the test be performed? Your doctor will recommend when and how often this test should be done. Although the specific age recommendations can vary, most experts recommend that all women who have been sexually active should have regular Pap tests by the time they’re 21 and should have this test done every 1 to 3 years. Talk to your doctor about when and how often you should have a Pap smear."

Women who have never had a Pap smear may feel anxious about having their first screening. Not knowing how a Pap smear is done or what to expect is major cause of the anxiety. What Is a Pap Smear? A Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It is not a diagnostic test, so having the test done regularly is essential. A Pap smear identifies women who may be at high risk for having precancerous or cancerous cervical changes. If Pap smear results determine abnormal cervical changes, then a colposcopy is performed. A colposcopy is a diagnostic test that allows the doctor to view the cervix more closely. Preparing for a Pap Smear The first step in preparing for a Pap smear is to make the appointment."

Cervical cancer can be diagnosed by having regular Papanicolaou tests, or Pap smears. A Pap smear is essentially a microscopic examination of cells taken from the cervix. It is a painless, noninvasive procedure in which doctors use to screen for pre-cancerous changes of the cervix (neck of the womb). This procedure involves Sampling cells from the cervix and the vagina Preparing the cell sample for evaluation under a microscope Examination of the cell sample for infections and abnormal cells that may become cancerous Although this screening test is used to detect cervical cancer or cervical abnormalities that may become cancer in women who do not have any symptoms, the pap smear cannot prove that a woman does not have cervical cancer. However, it can detect 95 percent of all cervical cancers and precancerous abnormalities. Why are regular Pap Smears so important? Having regular Pap smears is the most important thing a woman can do to protect herself from developing cervical cancer. Pap smear is important because It can detect early pre-cancerous cervical changes before they become cancerous."

EDITOR'S PICKDo You Really Need to Go Run and Get an IUD Right Now? Ah, the Pap smear. Super important, yes, but insanely uncomfortable (not so much physically but certainly emotionally). And confusing. In 2012 the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and the U. S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced that women ages 21 to 29 who haven't had a prior abnormal Pap test should get one every three years, but not all doctors immediately adapted to the change, leaving patients confused about whether they still needed an annual test or if it was safe to skip the screening. By now most gynecologists agree that once every three years is adequate (for women with normal results), and the American College of Physicians released a paper at the end of April 2015 with their guidelines, which basically parallel those from ACOG. But these are just recommendations: Every woman needs to do what is right for her body, so take the time to familiarize yourself with the Pap smear and other down-there tests so you can make the best decisions (with your doc’s input, of course). The Pleasure of a Pap Some of the best lifesaving practices (think Heimlich maneuver, colonoscopy, Pap) are also some of the most incredibly awkward ones. Before the Pap smear (or test, as some call it) was adopted as a standard screening test in women’s health in the 1950s, cervical cancer was the top cause of cancer death in women."

"text": "Pap smears are like routine car service. You’re not exactly sure what they are checking for, but you know you should do it. Even well-informed women who know that a Pap test is primarily a screen for cervical cancer are still unsure as to whether it also checks for sexually transmitted infection, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and general “gynecologic wellness.” So, what exactly is a Pap test? In 1928, after spending months observing his own wife’s cervical cells under a microscope, Dr. George Papanicolaou invented the Pap smear as a method to detect cervical cancer. His discovery has stood the test of time. And Dr. Papianicolaou can be credited with the fact that cervical cancer is now a rare cause of death in the US in spite of the fact that it remains the leading cause of death in countries where Pap smears are not routinely done. ( Though it seems Mary Papanicolaou should get at least some of the credit after submitting to countless Pap smears to support her husband’s research! ) Most women are familiar with the basic process: a speculum is inserted into the vagina in order to sample cells from the surface and canal of the cervix. The cells are then sent to a lab where they are checked for abnormal cell growth, also known as dysplasia, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN."

The answer to that is that it really isn’t recommended to have your test at that time. Menstrual blood and fluid can interfere with the results or make the process of analysis more difficult for the pathologist. However, the new liquid-based Pap smears can easily separate the mucous and blood from the cervical cells. It is advisable to get your appointment rescheduled to a date when you won’t have your period. Best time for a Pap Smear: During menstruation, it becomes difficult to test if there is a wart that causes human papillomavirus. It is best to abstain from all sexual activities for a few weeks before a pelvic examination. A woman should not use any vaginal medicines for a day or two before the test. It’s a good thing to be in mid-cycle as it minimizes the risk of false results. Pap Smear: What is Pap smear?"

This tissue gradually disappears and the cervix heals. One cervical cryotherapy is usually sufficient to destroy the abnormal tissue. Purpose Cervical cryotherapy is a standard method used to treat cervical dysplasia, meaning the removal of abnormal cell tissue on the cervix. Description Cervical cryotherapy, or freezing, usually lasts about five minutes and causes a slight amount of discomfort. The procedure is usually performed in an outpatient setting. Cervical cryotherapy is done by placing a small freeze-probe (cryoprobe) against the cervix that cools the cervix to sub-zero temperatures. The cells destroyed by freezing are shed afterwards in a heavy watery discharge. The main advantage of cryotherapy is that it is a simple procedure that requires inexpensive equipment. The cryogenic device consists of a gas tank containing a refrigerant and non-explosive, non-toxic gas (usually nitrous oxide)."

Dog Friendly 2 stars Exercise Needs 5 stars Papillons need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off-lead, such as a large, fenced-in yard. Grooming 3 stars Moderate Maintenance: Grooming should be performed regularly to keep its fur in good shape. Occasional trimming or stripping needed. Health Issues 3 stars Papillons have only minor health concerns although patellar luxation, seizures, and dental problems can be issues. Additionally they can be at risk for PRA, intervertebral disk disease, and allergies."

Note that the operative word here is “fewer.” Hypoallergenic is not synonymous with non-allergenic, and no breed is completely non-allergenic. Thinkstock The protein Fel D1 is the allergen in cat saliva that causes problems for allergy sufferers. Once a cat licks her coat, the allergen-laden spit dries and becomes airborne, seeking a warm home in your sinuses. Some cat breeds produce less of this protein than others, making them hypoallergenic. Factors That Affect Allergen Production: Males produce more allergenic secretions than females Intact males produce more than neutered males Dark cats tend to produce more than light-colored ones (no one knows why)Kittens produce fewer allergens than adults Cats Good For Allergy Sufferers Although no cat breed is truly hypoallergenic, there are seven breeds that produce fewer allergens. This “hypoallergenic” list should not be the only thing you consider when researching which breed of cat to adopt, however. Be sure to consider all of each breed’s characteristics to determine the best fit for your household. Three of the seven hypoallergenic breeds are Oriental lines: the Balinese, Oriental Shorthair and Javanese."

( All photos: Coen Wubbels) Our guide waits for us while we assemble beneath the words “Camp de la Transportation,” carved above the sole entrance gate of the former penal colony of Saint Laurent de Maroni. This far flung site in French Guiana, an overseas department of France located just above Brazil, was once home to some 70,000 convicts that had been banished from France. The whole entrance feels too clean, too tidy, too innocent for a place with such a brutish past. Built in 1850 on the orders of Napoleon III, the penal colony, located along the Maroni River, became the arrival and processing point for criminals who had been sentenced to prison and hard labor in French Guiana. Over a period of almost 100 years, between 1852 and 1946, tens of thousands of convicts lived and worked in Saint Laurent de Maroni. The camp was home to murderers as well as prisoners who were shipped halfway across the world for having committed minor offenses. One of the most well-known inmates was Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish-French officer wrongly accused of treason, who spent four years incarcerated at a notorious prison there called Devil’s Island. But the prisoner who told the world of Saint Laurent de Maroni in the most memorably gritty detail was French author Henri Charrière, whose incarceration and escape memoir Papillon became a worldwide best-seller when it appeared in 1969. It was later turned into a Hollywood film starring Steve Mc Queen."

Hypoallergenic does not have a medical meaning, nor is its use federally regulated. Manufacturers and retailers commonly use it on product labels to mean whatever they want it to mean. Generally, the intent means the product has a lower probability of causing an allergic reaction. A hypoallergenic carpet may cause fewer allergic reactions – as long as you are not allergic to the fibers in it, to the materials in the pad or the products you use to clean the carpet. Au Natural or Synthetic The fibers in hypoallergenic carpet come from both natural and synthetic materials. Natural wool carpet is stain and soil resistant; its absorbent fibers trap particles and the carpet does not emit harmful gases. The remaining nonallergenic carpets are synthetic, and often more cost-effective than wool. Nylon is soil- and mildew-resistant, durable and requires low upkeep.

The coat of the domestic dog ( Canis lupus familiaris) refers to the hair that covers its body. A dog's coat may be a double coat, made up of a soft undercoat and a tougher topcoat, or a single coat, which lacks an undercoat. Double coats have a top coat, made of stiff hairs to help repel water and shield from dirt, and an undercoat to serve as insulation. [ 1] The terms fur and hair are often used interchangeably when describing a dog's coat, however in general, a double coat, e.g., like that of the Newfoundland and most mountain dogs, is referred to as a fur coat, while a single coat, like that of the Poodle, is referred to as a hair coat.

In the wild, mutations often put animals at some practical disadvantage decreasing survival or reducing their attractiveness to the opposite sex; whereas domestic animals are protected from harm, and bred from specifically due to practical applications of the mutation for human uses, or to the attraction humanity has for uniqueness. During evolution of the dog from their wild wolf ancestors, coat colors in dogs were probably the inadvertent outcome of some other selective process (i.e., selection for tameness), and were not likely initially selected for intentionally by humans.

"text": "Health Care Hypoallergenic dogs: Fur facts and fictions By Shea Cox DVM, October 2012Allergy sufferers who still want to share their home with a canine companion have been known to drop big bucks on breeds that are being touted as “hypoallergenic dogs.” These are dogs who are reported to have lower household allergen levels compared to other pooches. But before you throw out your bottle of Visine and handkerchief, a new study suggests that this just may be fur fiction. Prominent allergen researchers have found that there is no basis to the claim “that certain dog breeds are hypoallergenic” and have found that allergen levels vary among individual dogs, not individual breeds. The American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy published a study in 2011 that revealed the amount of dog allergens found in households does not vary depending on the breed, and families with “hypoallergenic” dogs are living with the same level of allergens in their homes as people who live with a, shall we say, “common” dog. The researchers measured the level of the most common dog allergen, Canis familiaris 1, in the homes of 173 families who lived with one dog and found that 163 of them produced measurable levels of Can f 1. The numbers of dogs of each breed were not large enough to allow for analyses by individual breed, but the researchers compared quantities of allergens found in the samples using various categories of purebred and mixed-breed hypoallergenic and non-hypoallergenic dogs. No matter how they did the comparisons- even comparing dogs suggested as being “more hypoallergenic” by the AKC against all other dogs- they found no statistically significant differences in levels of Can f 1. The AKC does not actually recommend or endorse any specific breed, nor does it claim that hypoallergenic breeds will not affect people with allergies, but they do suggest 11 canine candidates that have “consistent and predictable coats” that may benefit allergy sufferers. Basically, these are the breeds that have more of a non-shedding coat, which in turn produces less dander, and therefore less allergens in the environment."

"text": "What is a Hypoallergenic Dog There are many people who love dogs and long for a pet, but suffer from allergies. Hypoallergenic dogs are great for allergy sufferers, because they either do not shed or shed very little, making them less likely to cause a serious reaction in owners. It is important to note, however, that there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog – the saliva and skin of a dog can still trigger an allergic event in sensitive people. It is recommended that those who suffer from pet allergies discuss their options with their doctor before choosing pet, and those people should always visit with a dog before adopting to gage any potential allergic reactions. If someone in your home is allergic to dogs, it will be necessary to bathe your hypoallergenic pet regularly to remove dander and other irritants. Larger dogs will produce more dander than smaller breeds, and a dog that barks often will release more saliva and dander into to their. Close management of the dog's hygiene can help keep allergic reactions to a minimum. Hypoallergenic dogs come in all shapes and sizes, so there are plenty of breeds to choose from. Whether you are looking for a large dog, small dog, a companion for a child, or a dog to accompany you on runs and hikes, there is a hypoallergenic breed that will fit the bill. Unfortunately, many dogs in shelters are mixed breeds, so there is no way to determine whether or not those pets are hypoallergenic."

List of the best hypoallergenic cats. For men and women who are allergic to cats, but absolutely need a feline friend, there are a number of hypoallergenic cat breeds to choose from. These are the best cat and kitten options for those who feel like sneezing every time they hear the words \"\"Hello, Kitty.\"\" You might also enjoy these ridiculous headlines featuring cats and the most hilarious cat selfies . Still, it is extremely important to note when looking at these rankings of the top hypoallergenic cats that the term, \"\"hypoallergenic cats,\"\" does not mean that these kitty cats will not induce allergic reactions. Rather, cats like the Abyssinian, the Balinese, and the Oriental Shorthair, are all kittens that are less likely to provoke an allergy attack in those individuals who are unfortunately allergic to cats. The Rexes are two perfect examples of this: the Devon Rex and the Cornish Rex are both fantastic breeds of cats for those who are allergic. The same can be said for the famous Sphynx, the Korat, and the Bengal - all beautiful cats and hypoallergenic to boot. If you're looking to own some pets, there are many types of allergy free cats."

"text": "\"Small Dog Breeds: The Ultimate Resource Guide Posted by Admin in Dog Breeds From the Chihuahua to the Yorkie there are small dog breeds of every different color, shape, and personality type. There are small fluffy dog breeds, small dog breeds good with kids, calm small dog breeds, in fact there is a small dog breed with almost any trait you desire. But before you decide on what breed you ultimately want, here are a few reasons why small dogs are the choice of millions of dog owners worldwide. Owning a small dog means everything is smaller!– Smaller Bills One of the most obvious advantages of owning a small dog is the fact that everything is cheaper. And depending where you live, this can mean saving a ton of money. Just the amount of cash you save on dog food alone over a year, not to mention the lifetime of your pet adds up to a lot. Small dog breeds also cost less to maintain in many ways not just food. Take the vet for example: shots, medicines, and medical procedures are way cheaper for smaller dogs. Even such things as toys, dog beds and dog kennels cost much less because they don’t have to be as large or as durable as they would with larger breeds.–"

"text": "Owners of Papillons are rightfully concerned regarding the average life span of this breed. While toy and small breed dogs live relatively longer lives than large breeds, it can be disheartening to read that the Papillon has an average life span of 13 years with a range of 12 to 15 being considered normal. However, it should be kept in mind that this range is not exceedingly shorter than some other toy breeds. Let's look deeper into this to learn: • The realistic life expectancy of the Papillon dog • The leading causes of death • Steps that you can take to increase the life span of your Pappy How 13 Years Became Listed as the Official Average Life Span of the Papillon Dog It should first be noted that if you took the average life span of all dogs - including mixes as well as purebreds - it would be 11.5 years with a range of 10 to 13. When owners see the average life expectancy to be only 13 years for the Pappy, it should be kept in mind that when looking at all canines, it is slightly higher than average. In general, larger dogs age and mature much faster than smaller breeds. Dogs weighing over 50 pounds (22 kg) live an average of 11 years. Toy breeds live an average of 15 years. Owners tend to become concerned because the Papillon, being a toy sized breed, has a shorter life span than those 15 years that one can expect with toys. It should be noted that while 13 years is the average, a range of 12 to 15 is considered normal."

Animal Shelter and Veterinary Clinic, I also have a friend who is severely allergic to cats. With new inventions out like hypoallergenic cat shampoo, the Domestic breed of all lengths of hair, can be tolerated by people who are allergic to cats. When my coworker told me this, I was very skeptical because I knew that the allergic reaction is triggered by the Fel d 1 in the cats saliva, not the fur itself. So, I begged my friend to come into work with me and hold a Domestic Long Haired cat that had just been treated with the shampoo. Not only was the cat's coat soft and shiny, my friend had no reaction to it what-so-ever. I couldn't believe my same friend who last Thanksgiving broke out in hives by just touching a cat (a Siberian at that), was now cuddling a furry feline. Trust me from personal experience, don't waste your time searching for hours on end by a \"\"hypoallergenic cat\"\" and don't spend up to $1,200 on a purebred Siberian, the more common breeds (like the Domestic cat) can be hypoallergenic with the shampoo!3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Unlike other dog breeds, hypoallergenic dogs pose fewer health risks among children and even adults who have asthma, rhinitis, and other allergies. While there are many who claim that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, it’s true to an extent because no dog is 100 percent hypoallergenic, regardless of what the breeder says. There are some breeds, however, that people with allergies can handle more than other breeds. The most common problems with allergy sufferers — the shedding and dander — can be much easier if they can find a breed with little to no hair that does not shed. Common hypoallergenic dog breeds include the American Hairless Terrier, Basenji, Cairn Terrier, Chinese Crested, Havanese, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, Poodles and the Portuguese water dogs.“ DSC_5396 ” ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) by LJWhitmire How much does it cost? Depending on the exact dog breed, the costs of a hypoallergenic dog can be from as little as $500 to as much as $3,000.

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

"text": "\"Triangles and Polygons on SAT Math: Strategies and Practice Questions for Geometry Posted by Courtney Montgomery | Aug 23, 2015 2:20:00 PMSAT Math25 to 30% of the SAT math section will involve geometry, and the majority of those questions will deal with polygons in some form or another. Polygons come in many shapes and sizes and you will have to know your way around them with confidence in order to ace those SAT questions on test day. Luckily, despite their variety, polygons are often less complex than they look, and a few simple rules and strategies will have you breezing through those geometry questions in no time. This will be your complete guide to SAT polygons --the rules and formulas for various polygons, the kinds of questions you’ll be asked about them, and the best approach for solving these types of questions. What is a Polygon? Before we talk about polygon formulas, let’s look at what exactly a polygon is. A polygon is any flat, enclosed shape that is made up of straight lines. To be “enclosed” means that the lines must all connect, and no side of the polygon can be curved. Polygons NOT Polygons Polygons come in two broad categories--regular and irregular. A regular polygon has all equal sides and all equal angles, while irregular polygons do not."

What are the measures of the other 2 angles? Possible Answers: Any pair of numbers which add to 180Correct answer: Explanation: Parallelograms have angles totalling 360 degrees, but also have matching pairs of angles at the ends of diagonals. Therefore the 2 additional angles must match the 2 given in the question. Report an Error Example Question #2 : How To Find An Angle In A Parallelogram Using the above rhombus, find the measurement of angle Possible Answers: Correct answer: Explanation: A rhombus must have equivalent opposite interior angles. Additionally, the sum of all four interior angles must equal degrees. And, the adjacent interior angles must be supplementary angles (sum of degrees)--i.e. angles degrees.

The parallel line conjectures will help us to understand that the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal in measure. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal corresponding angles are equal in measure. Also, the vertical angles are equal in measure. Now we need to extend our knowledge to two parallel lines cut by two parallel transversals. We have new pairs of corresponding angles . What can be said about the adjacent angles of a parallelogram.

A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram. All rectangles are parallelograms. But a rectangle is a shape where opposites sides are parallel *and* all the corners are 90 degree angles. So you can't say that all parallelograms would be rectangles. Some parallelograms would be rectangles, but not all. Rectangles are a subset of the shapes called parallelograms.

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

This mainly involves collecting like terms, which means that we add together anything that can be added together. The rule here is that only like terms can be added together. Like (or similar) terms Like terms are those terms which contain the same powers of same variables. They can have different coefficients, but that is the only difference.

Combining Like terms Combining like terms is permitted because of the distributive law. For example,3 x 2 + 5 x 2 = (3 + 5) x 2 = 8 x 2What happened here is that the distributive law was used in reverse—we “undistributed” a common factor of x 2 from each term. The way to think about this operation is that if you have three x -squareds, and then you get five more x -squareds, you will then have eight x- squareds.

"text": "When Karen Carpenter collapsed at 32 from heart failure in a wardrobe closet of her parents’ Downey, Calif, home two years ago, the acting Los Angeles coroner, Dr. Ronald N. Kornblum, said she died of complications from anorexia nervosa, specifically “cardiotoxicity” brought on by the chemical emetine. What he did not specify was how the emetine got there. Experts now agree there was only one way possible: She had misused a common, over-the-counter drug called ipecac. A foul-smelling, amber-colored drug, syrup of ipecac has been sold in drugstores for years to induce vomiting in poison victims. General practitioners have long recommended having a bottle in the medicine chest as a cheap antidote; a one-ounce bottle costs only about $2. But the fact is that ipecac, in large doses, may cause irreversible damage to the heart, and if taken repeatedly, is a lethal poison. One month after Carpenter’s death, Deborah Mae Mellon, 32, a mother of two, died of emetine poisoning. Two Philadelphia lawyers, Thomas E. Mellon Jr., Mrs. Mellon’s brother-in-law, and Michael B. L. Hepps, have filed a lawsuit charging the numerous manufacturers of ipecac with failure to warn the public about the drug’s toxic dangers. The suit, initiated on behalf of Mrs. Mellon’s estate, seeks $5 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. “ No one can know from looking at this poison antidote that it is a poison itself,” says Mellon. “"

"text": "Semi-colons, colons, and dashes What this handout is about This handout explains the most common uses of three kinds of punctuation: semi-colons (;), colons (:), and dashes (—). After reading the handout, you will be better able to decide when to use these forms of punctuation in your own writing. Semi-colons The semi-colon looks like a comma with a period above it, and this can be a good way to remember what it does. A semi-colon creates more separation between thoughts than a comma does but less than a period does. Here are the two most common uses of the semi-colon:1. To help separate items in a list, when some of those items already contain commas. Let’s look at an example, as that is the easiest way to understand this use of the semi-colon. Suppose I want to list three items that I bought at the grocery store:apples grapes pears In a sentence, I would separate these items with commas: I bought apples, grapes, and pears. Now suppose that the three items I want to list are described in phrases that already contain some commas:shiny, ripe apples small, sweet, juicy grapes firm pears If I use commas to separate these items, my sentence looks like this: I bought shiny, ripe apples, small, sweet, juicy grapes, and firm pears. That middle part is a bit confusing—it doesn’t give the reader many visual cues about how many items are in the list, or about which words should be grouped together."

"text": "Aug 11Part Time Employees and FMLAWhere is the regulation stating that both full time and part time employees both get 12 full weeks of FMLA time off? Assuming that at part time employee is allowed the same amount of time off as a full time employee. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles eligible employees to take up to 12 workweeks within a 12-month period of job protected, unpaid leave to care for newborns, newly adopted children and seriously ill family members, or to recover from their own serious illnesses. An FMLA eligible employee is one who: works for a covered employer; has worked for the employer for at least 12 months; has at least 1,250 hours of service for the employer during the 12 month period immediately preceding the leave; and works at a location where the employer has at least 50 employees within 75 miles. Many part time employees won’t meet the hours of service threshold. There are no defined parameters of what constitutes full time versus part time employment. Employers are free to establish their own guidelines. Thus, the FMLA eligibility criteria are not based on full time or part time status but on the number of hours an employee works. A part time employee taking FMLA leave in a single block of time is entitled to 12 workweeks of leave regardless of the number of hours typically worked in the workweek. This doesn’t mean that a part time employee has the same number of hours of leave entitlement as a full time employee."

The maximum amount of sick time that a regular full or part-time staff member may accrue at any given time is limited to 900 hours (120 days). Sick time is accrued during the provisional period. Temporary staff members do not accrue or receive sick time regardless of the length of the assignment. Accrual of Sick Time Sick time is accrued at the end of the pay period and available to be taken at the start of the following pay period. New staff members who begin employment on the first day of the pay period will receive the full accrual for the pay period. New staff members who begin employment on any day other than the first day of the pay period will receive a prorated accrual based on the number of days worked between the official start date and the last day of the pay period. For example, if a newly hired full-time staff member begins employment with the University on the 15th day of the month, they would receive a prorated portion (equal to half) of the sick time accrual for the month. When a staff member terminates from the University, sick time accruals will be prorated for the pay period in which the staff member terminates in accordance with their official date of termination. See Payment of Unused Sick Time section below for eligibility requirements to be paid for accrued sick time."

Y.2 answers | asked Sep 19, 2011 12:21 PM [EST] | applies to Pennsylvania Answers (2)When looking at an FMLA issue, employees have a few hurdles that they have to jump. First, it must be determined whether the employer is a covered employer. That generally means that they have 50 or more employees. Second,it must be determined whether the employee is an eligible employee. That generally requires that she have been employed for at least 12 months by that employer, have worked at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12 months, and that she be employed at a worksite that has 50 or more employees within a 75 miles of that worksite."

The Family and Medical Leave Act was enacted in 1993 and amended in 2008 to help employees balance the demands of work and family, and to care for their own and their families’ medical problems, without risking their jobs. Eligible employees may take unpaid job-protected and benefit-protected leave for any of the following reasons:an employee's own serious health condition (including conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth);the birth and care of the employee's newborn child (leave must be completed within 12 months of the date of birth);placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care (leave must be completed within 12 months of the date of placement);the serious health condition of the employee's child, parent, spouse, or partner, requiring the employee's participation in care;any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee’s spouse/partner, son, daughter, or parent is a covered military member on active duty or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty in support of a contingency operation; orto care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness if the employee is the spouse/partner, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the servicemember. Who's Eligible? Regular full-time or part-time employees who are working 50% or more of a normal work week, AND who have been employed by the Institute for a least one year. The right to take leave under FMLA applies equally to male and female employees. A father, as well as a mother, may take family leave for birth, placement for adoption or foster care of a child. How Much Leave May an Employee Take? Eligible employees are entitled to leave of up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period, except for those eligible employees caring for a covered service member who are entitled to leave of up to 26 weeks."

Not knowing about this federal law is no excuse—and won’t hold up in court—so as your small business is hiring, be sure to get cued in to the FMLA rules. Ins and outs of 50 or more employees. FMLA applies topublic agencies, public and private elementary and secondary schools, and companies which have 50 employees or more for at least 20 weeks in the current or previous calendar year. For a small business with a fluctuating work force this calculation may not be completely straightforward. What if the company has averaged 50 employees but has experienced a few months with lower employment, does FMLA apply? If a small business does not currently have 50 employees, the FMLA still applies if it did have have the requisite number for at least 20 weeks in the current or preceding calendar year. If the issue comes up, your small business may have to dust off last year’s calendar and cross reference it with your payroll records to determine whether the company met the 50-minimum for each week. Then a quick tally of the “50 +/-” weeks will let you if you were above or below the magic 20 line mark, and thus, whether your company is bound by FMLA. Broad employee eligibility."

And, Oregon requires employers to provide paid sick leave to employees, which you can use while you are unable to work due to childbirth and pregnancy. Taking Time Off During Pregnancy in Oregon There are two types of laws that might protect you if you need pregnancy leave: laws prohibiting pregnancy discrimination and laws that require pregnancy leave. Pregnancy Discrimination The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require employers to give pregnant employees time off work. However, it does require employers to treat employees who are unable to work due to pregnancy just as it treats other employees who are temporarily disabled. For example, if your company lets employees take time off for illness or injuries, then it must allow pregnant employees to take the same time off when they are unable to work. Oregon has its own law prohibiting pregnancy discrimination, which works the same way. Pregnancy Leave Under the FMLAThe FMLA gives eligible employees the right to take up to 12 weeks off work in a one-year period when they are unable to work during pregnancy and for prenatal care, but it applies only to employers with at least 50 employees. And employees are eligible for leave only if they have worked for the employer for at least 12 months, and at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately preceding their leave. ("

Reasons for FMLA Leave Eligible faculty and staff are able to use up to a total of 12 weeks of leave in any fiscal year with proper medical or other documentation for the following types of absences: An employee's own serious health condition The serious health condition of an employee's immediate family member Caring for a newborn or newly-placed adopted child or foster child Qualifying exigency arising out of an employee's immediate family member who is a covered servicemember on covered active duty Eligible faculty and staff who are immediate family members or next of kin of covered servicemembers are able to use up to a total of 26 weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for the servicemember with a serious illness or injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty. Eligible Employees All types of University faculty and staff members, including graduate assistants and student employees, are eligible for FMLA leave if they have worked at the University for at least 12 months. These 12 months need not be consecutive; however, if an employee has had a break in University service of greater than seven years, prior periods of employment will not be counted subject to certain exceptions. In addition, to be eligible, employees must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the 12 months preceding commencement of the leave. Employees returning from Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)-covered service are credited with hours of service that would have been performed but for the USERRA-covered service. Protections of FMLA Leave An employee returning to work following an FMLA leave will be able to return to the same job or an equivalent position. Any benefits, seniority, etc., in place immediately before the leave will be reinstated provided that the employee returns to work the first work day following the end date of the FMLA leave or any approved extended leave up to 30 days following the FMLA leave. Substitution of Paid Leave An employee is required to use, concurrently with the FMLA leave, the following paid leaves in the order listed: (1) sick leave available for use, as defined by the contract, rule, or policy governing the reason for the leave; (2) accrued compensatory time, if available; and (3) vacation leave in excess of 10 days to which the employee is entitled."

Introduction Background 1. Q: What is the relationship between requirements of the FMLA,1 the ADA,2 and Title VII3? A: The FMLA and the ADA both require a covered employer to grant medical leave to an employee in certain circumstances.4 The FMLA and Title VII both have requirements governing leave for pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions.

Employee Leave Protection Employee Leave Protection - The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. Eligible employees are entitled to: Twelve work weeks of leave in a 12-month period for: the birth of a child and to care for the newborn child within one year of birth; the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed child within one year of placement; to care for the employee's spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition; a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job; any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee's spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a covered military member on \"\"covered active duty;\"\" or Twenty-six work weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a covered service-member with a serious injury or illness if the eligible employee is the service-member's spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin (military caregiver leave). Main Document\"\"Under the ADA, an employer has the opportunity to offer an employee with disabilities a reasonable accommodation other than requested leave, as long as the accommodation is effective. \"\" Employers are required to provide needed and reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) unless doing so would impose an, \"\"undue hardship,\"\" on the employer. Title I of the ADA, which is enforced by the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), provides protection to qualified people with disabilities from discrimination on the basis of disability. A, \"\"reasonable accommodation,\"\" in relation to employment involves a change in a person's workplace that enables them to perform the essential functions of their job. Leave is a form of reasonable accommodation, one that enables an employee to take time off from work to take care of whatever required them to take the leave and then return to work and perform the essential functions of their job. In some instances, leave on a short-term, long-term, or even an hourly basis will be the only effective accommodation for the person with a disability. At other times, leave might be an efficient accommodation, although there may also be additional successful ones that allow the person to remain on their job."

"text": "\"What You Should Know About Maternity Leave, Short-Term Disability and the FMLAFont size: Larger Smaller 49 Comments Subscribe to this entry Print Bookmark Are you a working mom- or dad- to be? While there are companies that voluntarily provide family-leave policies, many stick to what they are required to offer. The legal requirements vary depending on the company's size, your employment status, the state you live in (because some states have broader maternity-leave laws that override the FMLA), among other factors. So if you are expecting – or you've recently given birth or adopted – it pays to become familiar with the family-leave rights you're entitled to at your workplace. This can be confusing to employees and employers alike because family-leave is usually created from a variety of benefits that include sick leave, vacation, holiday time, personal days, short-term disability and unpaid FMLA time. Let's look at how it breaks down. Before we do that though, please note that this post is geared specifically towards using Short-Term Disability (STD) and FMLA for maternity-leave. There are many other occurrences and/or illnesses that may entitle you to use your STD and FMLA benefits. What is Short-Term Disability? FMLA provides up to 12 weeks total of non-paid leave – and in most cases those 12 weeks run concurrently with your short-term disability benefits."

"text": "\"FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSFamily and Medical - FMLA Leave FAQRelated Policy: Family and Medical - FMLA Leave What is the maximum leave time allowed under an FMLA leave? An employee has a total of 12 unpaid weeks for all FMLA leaves in any fiscal year; however, an employee may have a total of 26 unpaid weeks in a single 12-month period if the FMLA leave is to act as a caregiver for a military family member. If both husband and wife are employed by the University, they each have a total of 12 unpaid weeks available for FMLA leave purposes in any fiscal year. Are these paid or unpaid leaves? The FMLA leave itself is unpaid, and any paid leave runs concurrently with the FMLA leave. As the policy states, the University requires employees to use, concurrently with the FMLA leave, the following paid leaves in the order listed: (1) sick leave available for use, as defined by the contract, rule, or policy governing the reason for the leave; (2) accrued compensatory time, if available; and (3) vacation leave in excess of 10 days to which the employee is entitled. This means that when paid time is used during an FMLA leave, the periods of paid time and unpaid time all count towards the 12 weeks of leave entitled under the FMLA. Where the FMLA leave is paid as a workers' compensation absence, then the employee is not required to use other forms of paid leave. Are faculty and staff required to use up their available paid sick and vacation leave time during their FMLA leave? Yes, the policy provides that employees must use available sick, compensatory, and vacation leave for which they are eligible to use under the contract, rule, or policy governing the reason for the leave."

"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": "Home »Information How to Calculate FMLA Days By Jackie Lohrey; Updated June 17, 2017Calculating Family and Medical Leave Act eligibility, and remaining days available, can be confusing both for employers and for employees. A main sticking point often relates to the FMLA definition of a workweek. Instead of using a standard 7-day week and 24-hour day, regulations define a workweek as the time an employee actually spends working. However, once you establish initial eligibility, there are a number of ways to track and calculate FMLA leave days. Employee Eligibility Requirements According to FMLA regulations, both full-time and part-time employees may qualify for a specified amount of unpaid leave every year without placing their jobs at risk. Although most are only eligible for 12 weeks, people who care for an active duty or retired service member with a serious health condition may extend unpaid leave to 26 weeks. However, to be eligible, an employee must have worked for the same employer for at least the previous 12 months, and within this time she must have worked at least 1,250 hours. Annual Leave Time Calculations Leave time allowances depend on an employee’s normal workweek prior to starting FMLA leave. For example, if your normal schedule is a standard 40-hour week, you qualify for 480 hours -- 12 weeks times 40 hours -- of FMLA leave each year. However, if you normally work 50 hours each week, you qualify for 600 hours."

They were imported from Asia (China) in the 1800's, but there were a few pairs of Blackneck Pheasants seen in 1733. Now, they are the most succesful non-native gamebird in America! They have adapted to life in the western states in large fields. The Ringneck was introduced into South Dakota in 1898, and can be recognized by many due to it's colorful plumage.

Choosing A Meat Chicken With the growing popularity of raising backyard chickens comes an increasing interest in raising meat chickens. Dual-purpose chickens, those yielding both eggs and meat, are the most popular. But many backyard chicken farmers are turning to meat chickens for their better flavor. Just like with egg layers, a different result comes with each breed so, choosing the best meat chicken breeds depends on what you’re looking to achieve. This is a review of what I consider the 5 best chicken breeds to raise for meat. Picture courtesy of Lee’s Feed Catoosa, Oklahoma. Broilers Broilers are chickens raised specifically for meat. They grow much faster than egg laying hens or dual purpose breeds. Most broilers have a fast growth rate with a high feed conversion ratio and low activity levels. In five weeks, broilers can reach a dressed weight of 4-5 pounds."

A medium sized ground dwelling bird, the Chukar weighs in at about 20 ounces and is generally 14-15 inches in length. They are not sexually dimorphic, but that males tend to be larger and more intensely colored, and many have a small “spur” on each leg. Both sexes have buff/grey backs and wings with a grey tinged cap, breast, and rump. The sides are boldly striped with slanting bands of black and chestnut against a white background. The throat and cheeks vary from white to tan, bordered with a black band extending from the top of the bill, down the neck, meeting in a conspicuous “V” where they join on the upper breast. The bill, feet and legs are red. The Chukar is native to many areas of the Middle East and southern Asia, where they live in rocky semi-desert habitats. In the early 20th century efforts were made to introduce the Chukar into parts of North America similar to those habitats in the old world."

Fall is the season for lower 48 rarities, like Bar-tailed Godwit and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, and there can be an early Yellow-billed Loon, Rock Sandpiper, or Gyrfalcon. Spring provides shorebird migration spectacles, and summer offers a tremendous diversity of breeding species from the rain forest inhabitants of the Olympics, alpine tundra breeders in the Cascades and desert shrub steppe specialties in the Columbia Basin. Spring is the season of migration spectacles, the shorebird passage through Grays Harbor, seabird migration offshore, Sandhill Cranes through the Columbia Basin. Landbird migration can be good too, particularly in the riparian areas and desert oases of eastern Washington. Several bird festivals at this time provide the out-of-town birder with a great introduction to local birding and birders; look for the Othello crane festival and the Grays Harbor shorebird festival on the web. Summer is the season for finding boreal/montane species such as Boreal Chickadee, Three-toed and Black-backed Woodpeckers, Pine Grosbeak, Sooty, Dusky and Spruce Grouse, and White-tailed Ptarmigan. Good places to look for some or all of these include the North Cascades National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, and the boreal zone of Washington in Okanogan County. Late spring and early summer can be very productive for owling: Saw-whet, Flammulated, Barred, Northern Pygmy and Western Screech can be readily found in the right habitat, and if you are lucky, you have a chance for Great Gray, Spotted or Boreal. One of the biggest draws of fall birding is shorebird migration, with the possibility of a Ruff, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper or Bar-tailed Godwit."

I hope I can help by narrowing the choices down to what I consider the top six chicken breeds for beginners. For a beginner backyard chicken farmer, there are certain characteristics to look for when choosing a chicken breed. My top six breeds have at least two of these characteristics:• Choose a friendly and easy to tame chicken breed• Pick a breed that is easy to care for• Look for a common breed. Avoid the fancy and rare breeds until you become more experienced. These should be breeds you can find at most local feed and farm stores or in hatchery catalogs• For laying hens, choose a breed known for high egg production• For meat chickens, you need a breed that will gain weight quickly Orpington Free shipping on chicken orders This is my number-one choice for a beginner chicken breed. Orpingtons have a great personality and lay a good amount of large brown eggs. Orpinton chicks like human contact and try to get your attention by jumping on you when you feed them. As adults, they still crave your attention and like to sit on your lap."

Backyard Poultry Contributor • December 10, 2017Read Comments (8)160 0 13 1 6 8 25We can see that there are no males in this little flock of Red Sexlinks—their color makes them all easily identifiable as pullets. Photo courtesy of Isabel Mc Fadden, Tennessee By Don Schrider – At Backyard Poultry we get questions all the time asking for help identifying the breed of various chickens. Many times the chickens pictured are not purebred chickens at all but crossbreeds / hybrid chickens hatcheries produce for very specific purposes – such as egg production. Such poultry can be very productive and useful for the backyard fancier but cannot be considered a breed. Terminology Before we go too far in stating what “is” and what “is not” a breed, there are some terms we need to define. First, what does the word “breed” really mean? We can define “breed” as a group of animals with similar characteristics that, when bred together, will produce offspring with the same characteristics. In other words, a breed breeds true. The advantage of pure breeds is that each generation of offspring can be counted on to look and perform in the same way as the previous generation."

Phone: 360-902-2515 [email protected] Upland Bird Hunting Chukar Partridge Hunting Strategies Guns and Ammunition Shooting Chukars are native to Asia and southern Europe, and they thrive in dry, rocky, steep country, with an emphasis on steep. Although now found through the western United State and in parts of British Columbia and Mexico, some of the best chukar hunting is found in the Snake River region of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. An adult chukar measures 13 to 14 inches long and weighs about three-quarters of pound, a little larger than a valley quail and a little smaller than a ruffed grouse. Also known as red-legged partridge and rock partridge, they’re bluish-gray on the back, wings and breast, with a buff belly and flanks marked with vertical bars of black and chestnut. A black band extends across the eyes and down the side of the head, neck and upper breast. The throat is white, the beak, legs and feet red. Typical chukar habitat features cliffs, bluffs, canyon walls, talus slopes and other generally vertical real estate. They not only roost in steep, rocky areas, but feed on grains, seeds, forbs and grasses they find among and around the rock piles and cliffs. Brush provides nesting cover in spring and shade from the summer heat, so sage, greasewood and other busy vegetation is also an important part of their habitat."

"text": "\"Delaware D elaware were developed by George Ellis of Delaware in 1940 and were used for the production of broilers. The breed originated from crosses of Barred Plymouth Rock roosters and New Hampshire hens. A few off-colored sports were produced that were almost white with black barring on the hackles, primaries, secondaries, and tail. This coloration is very similar to the Colombian color pattern, but with the barring substituting for the black sections. For about twenty years the Delaware and the Delaware x New Hampshire cross were the most popular broiler chickens on the Delmarva Peninsula. Both the Delaware and the Delaware x New Hampshire cross were replaced by the Cornish x Rock cross that you see in grocery stores today. The Delaware makes an excellent dual-purpose bird. They have an excellent lay rate, and a calm and friendly disposition. The breed is noted for rapid growth and fast feathering of the chicks. Cocks grow to 8-1/2 pounds and hens to 6-1/2 pounds."

"text": "\"Raising Meat Chickens Lisa Lynn April 8, 2013 Chickens Cornish Cross vs Heritage Chickens There are a lot of misconceptions about Cornish Cross (or Cornish X) chickens. I’ve heard them called Frankenbirds and GMO chickens…they are neither. I guess a Frankenbird would be a chicken that has been sewn together from parts of different chickens…not a viable way to produce a chicken, quite ‘frankly.’ Genetically modified chickens would be chickens that have had their genetic material altered by adding genetic material from other organisms in a laboratory setting. This post contains affiliate links for products you may find useful. Please see disclosure below. Cornish X are actually produced by hybridizing chickens, resulting in a bird that is the genetic offspring of several distinct breeds. The hatcheries that produce these chicks guard their secrets very closely so that hobby farmers, like me, aren’t able to copy them and come up with a home raised Cornish X. The breeds used in this hybridizing program include White Plymouth Rock and Dark Cornish, but that’s as far as I’m privy to the whole operation. Why would anyone want to raise these ‘freaks of nature?’ Mainly because they grow fast and produce a nice sized, tender roasting bird in about 2 months."

"text": "A strong dual purpose chicken, the Black Australorp is a fun heritage breed chicken to raise (and to say!). A good choice for both egg laying and meat production, this heritage poulty breed chicken traces its heritage to the Orpington, bred in the village of the same name in Kent by William Cook in the 1880s. Cook used a variety of breeds in creating several color varieties, but the lustrous Black, pure White, and rich golden Buff earned the greatest following. Their originator was a skillful publicist for his chickens, and they were exported out of England. Orpingtons were noted for early maturity and winter laying ability, but they did not achieve a great deal of commercial success in England because many breeders were more involved in exhibiting. Today the utilitarian Orpington is becoming very rare. The exhibition form differs from this Old Orpington, as it is becoming known. The stately Orpington is a large, heavy bird that is also capable of good brown egg production. The body is long, round, and deep with a large breast and a wide back. The legs are short, solid, and set apart."

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

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

Both passive and active losses can result in tax advantages. However, the IRS limits the types and amounts of losses you can deduct for a rental property if you are not a real estate professional. Losses on Rental Property When your expenses from a rental property exceed your rental income, your property produces a net operating loss. This situation often occurs when you have a new mortgage, as mortgage interest is a deductible expense. In certain cases, property owners can use this loss as a tax deduction against other income, such as a salary, self-employment income or alimony or carry the loss backward or forward. To deduct your losses on your taxes, complete Schedule E when filing your tax return. Passive Losses Property rental is a passive activity and subject to IRS passive activity loss rules. When you incur a real estate rental loss, the IRS considers the loss passive unless property management is your primary income-earning activity. You cannot deduct passive losses if you do not have any net income from your property rental for the tax year."

You can write off 100% of the interest you pay on up to $1.1 million of debt secured by your first and second homes that was used to acquire or improve the properties. ( That's a total of $1.1 million of debt, not $1.1 million on each home.) The rules that apply if you rent the place out are discussed later. Property taxes.

Large companies, like Google, have long been able to make tax credit investments. Meanwhile, mid-size companies were kept out because the deal exceeded their tax appetite. Now, that has changed thanks to the proliferation of firms like Greenzu developing tax-advantaged solar projects which demand corporate Tax Equity Investors of all sizes. The trick is figuring out if your company is an eligible investor, and if so, which solar projects are good investments. Below are a few important guidelines. A. Corporate Tax Equity Investing In A Nutshell A race is afoot to install solar on as much flat commercial roof space as possible using a financing mechanism called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). In a PPA, developers like Greenzu install solar on a building’s rooftop at no cost to the building owner. The building owner, in turn, agrees to pay the developer for all the solar electricity generated over the next 20 years. In other words, the solar developer becomes a utility company."

As with active income, passive income is usually taxable. However, it is often treated differently by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Portfolio income is considered passive income by some analysts, so dividends and interest would therefore be considered passive. Next Up Passive Activity Loss Rules Passive Activity Passive Loss Passive ETFBREAKING DOWN 'Passive Income'There are three main categories of income: active income, passive income and portfolio income. Passive income has been a relatively loosely used term in recent years. Colloquially, it’s been used to define money being earned regularly with little or no effort on the part of the person receiving it. Proponents of earning passive income tend to be boosters of a work-from-home and be-your-own-boss professional lifestyle. The type of earnings people usually associate with this are gains on stocks, interest, retirement pay, lottery winnings, online work and capital gains. While these activities fit the popular definition of passive income, they don’t fit the technical definition as outlined by the IRS."

"text": "Are Suspended Passive Activity Losses Deductible? Posted on July 6, 2015 by Greg Freyman, CPAWe have suspended passive activity losses associated with our rental property. If we sell one of the rental properties, can we claim those losses? The short answer is that it depends on a few factors. However, it’s likely that the suspended passive activity losses can be claimed as there will be a complete liquidation of the taxpayer’s entire interest in that single rental activity. Are passive activity losses “freed” upon liquidation? It’s technically possible for passive activity losses to be “freed” upon liquidation if each property is treated as a separate activity per IRC Section 469 (c) (7) (A) (ii). However, the definition of entire interest depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case. The phrase “entire interest” can mean a single rental activity or it can mean a group of rental activities as is indicated in IRC Section 469 (c) (7) (A). The latter would apply if the taxpayer met the requirements to be considered a real estate professional and elected to group the properties together."

"text": "Get to Know the Net Investment Income Taxby Ryan Blume, Senior Manager, Wealth Services Practice2/2014Come April 15, certain higher income individuals will need to be prepared to report and pay the new 3.8 percent net investment income tax (NIIT)—one of two taxes that took effect with the Affordable Care Act. The NIIT generally affects individuals whose modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds the following thresholds, as well as certain estates and trusts: For individuals with income over the threshold, the NIIT could significantly affect your tax planning. The final regulations, which the IRS released in November, are generally friendlier toward taxpayers than the earlier proposed regulations. So with tax season upon us, let’s take a closer look at some key provisions of the NIIT and the possible impact for you. Overview The 3.8 percent tax applies to the lesser of 1) net investment income or 2) the excess of the taxpayer’s MAGI over the threshold ( see above ). It must be paid in addition to a taxpayer’s regular income tax liability, or if applicable, alternative minimum tax liability. Essentially, if your MAGI is below the applicable threshold, you aren’t subject to the NIIT. Most taxpayers’ MAGI will be the same as their adjusted gross income (AGI), but those with foreign-earned income must make modifications to their AGI to determine their MAGI. Three main categories of investment income are subject to the NIIT: Traditional portfolio income such as interest, dividends, annuities, rents, and royalties Trade or business income from “passive investments,” in which the taxpayer does not materially participate Capital gains and other gains from the sale of investments or “passive” property The total of your investment income in these three categories can be reduced by properly allocable deductions such as investment interest expenses, investment advisory and brokerage fees, and certain portions of your state and local taxes. The NIIT doesn’t apply to the following types of income: Wages and self-employment income (though these may be subject to the new Medicare tax discussed below)Income earned in a nonpassive trade or business, and in the ordinary course of the trade or business Distributions from pension, profit-sharing, and stock bonus plans Retirement account distributions, including 401 (k)s, IRAs, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and Roth IRA conversions Social Security income Tax-exempt income from municipal bonds and Roth IRA distributions Life insurance proceeds Excluded gain from sale of personal residence Passive Classification Spotlights “Material Participation”Since income earned in a nonpassive (that is, active) trade or business is exempt from the NIIT, the distinction between passive and nonpassive income is now an important one for many taxpayers looking for ways to reduce their tax exposure."

It is a form of legally binding preventive adjudication [1] by which a party involved in an actual or possible legal matter can ask a court to conclusively rule on and affirm the rights, duties, or obligations of one or more parties in a civil dispute (subject to any appeal ). [ 2] The declaratory judgment is generally considered a statutory remedy and not an equitable remedy in the United States, [3] and is thus not subject to equitable requirements, though there are analogies that can be found in the remedies granted by courts of equity. [ 4] [5] A declaratory judgment does not by itself order any action by a party, or imply damages or an injunction, although it may be accompanied by one or more other remedies. A declaratory judgment is generally distinguished from an advisory opinion because the latter does not resolve an actual case or controversy. Declaratory judgments can provide legal certainty to each party in a matter when this could resolve or assist in a disagreement. Often an early resolution of legal rights will resolve some or all of the other issues in a matter. A declaratory judgment is typically requested when a party is threatened with a lawsuit but the lawsuit has not yet been filed; or when a party or parties believe that their rights under law and/or contract might conflict; or as part of a counterclaim to prevent further lawsuits from the same plaintiff (for example, when only a contract claim is filed, but a copyright claim might also be applicable)."

The rules state that the settlement will be taxable only if the plaintiff has received a physical injury because of a wrongful act. Specifics have been discussed in this article. For the purpose of tax treatment, awards and settlements can be classified into two distinct groups, viz. claims arising on account of physical injury and those resulting from non-physical injury. Each of these claims can further be classified into the following three categories,Punitive damages Emotional damages Actual damages Punitive damages are awarded to the plaintiff in order to punish a defendant and forestall others from committing similar acts. However, these are contingent on the plaintiff proving the desirability or the necessity of awarding the same. Typically, punitive damages are awarded when the offense is committed knowingly, deliberately or on account of negligent or fraudulent behavior. The amount, that is designated for punitive damages, is not excluded from taxable income even if the amount was received in lieu of physical injury."

It is best to spend a little time and money avoiding patent infringement rather than defending a costly, time-consuming patent infringement lawsuit later. Considering that the concept of patent infringement can be complex and confusing to many, it is easy to understand why many choose to bury their head in the sand rather than investigate the potential infringement issues up-front – a path that can sometimes bankrupt even the healthiest small business. It is never too late to take the necessary steps to avoid patent infringement whether you are developing a product or have been manufacturing a product for many years. Reasons to Avoid Patent Infringement Lawsuit Below are some reasons to take investigate whether you have any patent infringement issues prior to producing a product (or continuing to produce a product): Costly. A patent infringement lawsuit is extremely expensive compared to other types of lawsuits. A patent infringement lawsuit typically will cost $1 Million or more in legal fees alone. It is not uncommon for even simple patent infringement lawsuits to end up costing a company $2 – $5 Million. If you lose the lawsuit, you will then be responsible for paying damages to the patent owner along with the potential for treble damages and attorney’s fees. The attorneys’ fees alone can put many small businesses out of business when the lawsuit could have been avoided by spending $5,000 – $15,000 hiring a patent attorney to review a patent for patent infringement issues."

Death and taxes are among them; as is the fact that if you are taking open source software for your proprietary project you are likely about to do a deal with the devil that might be extremely difficult, or even impossible, to undo. Software is unique because it can be protected by both copyrights and patents. Copyrights in software protect the unique expression in the code, while patents protect new and nonobvious functionality. So you copyright the code and you patent the function. Patents are far more valuable for that reason given that a patent would protect the implementation regardless of how the code is written or what languages are used. Thus, anything that potentially compromises patent rights should be avoided at all costs."

Common examples include securities (both public and private), copyrights, royalties, patents, personal service contracts, installment obligations, life insurance and annuity contracts, and partnership interests. This memorandum examines the most common types and forms of intangible personal property that are considered for contribution to charity, and the special rules that apply to charitable deductions for income, gift, and estate tax purposes. Introduction Intangible personal property is property that has no intrinsic value but is merely representative or evidence of value. 1 Described another way, intangible personal property is personal property (other than real property) whose value stems from its intangible elements rather than from its specific tangible (physical) elements. 2Although the Code does not provide a concise definition of intangible personal property, it does provide several examples. For example, section 936 (h) (3) (B) defines intangible property to mean any--copyright, literary, musical, or artistic composition;patent, invention, formula, process, design, pattern, or know-how;trademark, trade name, or brand name;franchise, license, or contract;method, program, system, procedure, campaign, survey, study, forecast, estimate, customer list, or technical data; orany similar item, which has substantial value independent of the services of any individual. With respect to charitable gift planning, the most common types of intangible personal property that gift planners encounter include securities (both public and private), copyrights, royalties, patents, personal service contracts, installment obligations, life insurance and annuity contracts, and partnership interests. Intangible property is also frequently \"\"bundled\"\" with tangible or real property. Examples include a work of art and its copyright, or mineral rights and the real property from which the minerals are derived."

It was not until the 19th century that the term \"\"intellectual property\"\" began to be used, and not until the late 20th century that it became commonplace in the majority of the world. [ 3]The main purpose of intellectual property law is to encourage the creation of a large variety of intellectual goods.

Because they can earn profit from them, this gives economic incentive for their creation. ["

"text": "\"Kearns’ Son Still Fuming Over Wiper Blade Fight July 26, 2011 by Bruce Berman 43 Comments Unreasonably high patent licensing hurdles are a “license to steal” –In messages from Robert Kearns’ son, Dennis, received this week by IP INSIDER (now, IP Close Up), it is apparent that the rift over his family’s two-decade invention battle with the Ford, Chrysler and other automobile manufacturers while officially over has not gone away. I received this response from Dennis to comment on what he had learned from his father’s experience:“As long as courts continue to make injunctions on patents ‘hard to get’, where is the incentive for Automotive Infringers to stop? The industry standard continues ‘Take now, Pay later, maybe.’ I liken it to a rapist who when caught, agrees to pay the local hooker’s rates and call it even. ”When I asked Dennis to elaborate if he wished, he responded in an email:“When we went to trial with Ford the most they had ever paid was 11 cents a unit for a license Judge Cohn ruled the only evidence we could put on was what a ‘willing buyer, willing seller’ would negotiate. My father was never a willing seller of a license. Kearns won one of the best known patent infringement cases against Ford Motor Company (1978–1990) and a case against Chrysler Corporation (1982–1992), writes Wikipedia, from which he netted about $30 million. He probably could have won more if he had settled, but he was out to make a point about invention theft. Having invented and patented the intermittent windshield wiper mechanism, which was useful in light rain or mist, he tried to interest the “Big Three” auto makers in licensing the technology. They all rejected his proposal, yet began to install intermittent wipers in their cars, beginning in 1969."

The law of unfair competition serves five purposes. First, the law seeks to protect the economic,intellectual, and creative investments made by businesses in distinguishing themselves and theirproducts. Second, the law seeks to preserve the good will that businesses have established withconsumers. Third, the law seeks to deter businesses from appropriating the good will of theircompetitors. Fourth, the law seeks to promote clarity and stability by encouraging consumers to rely on a merchant's good will and reputation when evaluating the quality of rival products. Fifth, thelaw seeks to increase competition by providing businesses with incentives to offer better goods andservices than others in the same field. Although the law of unfair competition helps protect consumers from injuries caused by deceptivetrade practices, the remedies provided to redress such injuries are available only to businessentities and proprietors. Consumers who are injured by deceptive trade practices must availthemselves of the remedies provided by state and federal Consumer Protection laws. In general,businesses and proprietors injured by unfair competition have two remedies: injunctive relief (a courtorder restraining a competitor from engaging in a particular fraudulent or deceptive practice) andmoney damages (compensation for any losses suffered by an injured business)."

"text": "\"Lets assume that you are interested in patent protection for a device of some sort, like a garden tool, primarily in Canada and the US, and perhaps elsewhere. A patent is a grant of exclusive rights in an invention. To be patentable in most jurisdictions, including Canada and the US, an invention must be useful and proper subject matter. In addition, it must be novel and inventive. Proper and useful subject matter generally includes most vendible, utilitarian products, as well as processes for making or treating vendible products. The Canadian Patent Act defines \"\"invention\"\" as any new and useful \"\"art, process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter\"\", or an improvement to any of these categories of subject matter. A garden tool should be proper subject matter for a patent. However, it is possible that some other form of intellectual property protection may also be appropriate, such as design protection or trade mark protection for the name under which the tool is to be marketed. An invention is considered to be novel if it was not previously disclosed or known to the public anywhere in the world. An invention is inventive if it would not be obvious to an average person working in the field to which the invention relates, taking into consideration the state of the art on the day you file your patent application (and in some cases on the date of invention)."

INTRODUCTIONIntellectual Property (IP) has been traditionally categorized into Industrial property and Copyright. The term Industrial Property includes patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source. Copyright protection is granted to protect literary, artistic and musical works. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs [2]. Intellectual property rights are generally said to be a bundle of exclusive rights granted to the lawful owner. The term intellectual property denotes the specific legal rights, and not the intellectual work itself. It is important to be aware of what these IP rights are, how they can be protected and, in due course, how to benefit from them. Why Registration of Intellectual Property is important? Developments of new products and processes, brand names, content, etc. are resource intensive and usually require huge investments."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Parental testing)navigation search DNA paternity testing is the use of DNA profiling (known as genetic fingerprinting) to determine whether two individuals are biologically parent and child. A paternity test establishes genetic proof whether a man is the biological father of an individual, and a maternity test establishes whether a woman is the biological mother of an individual. Tests can also determine the likelihood of someone being a biological grandparent to a grandchild. Though genetic testing is the most reliable standard, older methods also exist, including ABO blood group typing, analysis of various other proteins and enzymes, or using human leukocyte antigen antigens. The current techniques for paternity testing are using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Paternity testing can now also be performed while the woman is still pregnant from a blood draw. [ 1] [2]DNA testing is currently the most advanced and accurate technology to determine parentage. In a DNA parentage test, the result (called the 'probability of parentage) [3] [ not in citation given] is 0% when the alleged parent is not biologically related to the child and the probability of parentage is typically 99.99% when the alleged parent is biologically related to the child. However, while almost all individuals have a single and distinct set of genes, rare individuals, known as \"\" chimeras \"\", have at least two different sets of genes, which can result in a false negative result if their reproductive tissue has a different genetic make-up from the tissue sampled for the test.

You will confirm your pregnancy far earlier than you can carry out the prenatal test. A home pregnancy test will confirm the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG. Because all prenatal paternity tests must be done after a given number of weeks, a pregnancy calculator can really help you determine how far you are in your pregnancy. There are 3 main methods in which a sample of the unborn child’s DNA can be collected but these methods differ significantly. The main method of differentiation, always within the context of establishing paternity, is that a pregnancy DNA test can be either invasive and entail certain risks or else it can be totally safe for the expectant mother and child. Non Invasive methods of Paternity Testing while pregnant It is only recently that non invasive DNA prenatal paternity tests have been made available to people around the world. Research had been under way for many years but several challenges where found. Because of the exchange of nutrients and supply of blood between the mother and the baby she is carrying, the baby’s DNA naturally finds its way in the mother’s blood. The process of extracting the child’s DNA from the maternal blood has been a huge but successful challenge."

Grandparent DNA Testing When an alleged father (or mother) is not directly able to be tested, at least one of the suspected father’s (or mother’s) biological parents can perform a DNA grandparent test to help determine if he or she is the true father or mother of a child. Biological parents equally contribute 50% to their child’s DNA, so that one-half of his DNA comes from each parent. When that child becomes a parent, they in turn contribute half of their DNA to their child. Therefore, 25% of the grandchild’s DNA comes from each grandparent, through their biological child. How accurate is our Grandparent DNA test? We guarantee we provide the most accurate DNA Grandparent test available. Grandparent DNA testing is based on the statistical probability that two or more people are related by bloodlines as grandparent and grandchild. The industry standard for testing of this type compares 16 alleles to attempt to arrive at the conclusion if a grandparent/grandchild relationship exists. The challenges and limitations with this approach is that when using so little genetic material, it is very difficult to arrive at a conclusive result because a grandparent only shares up to 25% of the same DNA with their suspected grandchild."

Each individual has a unique DNA structure. No two people share the same DNA - except identical twins. DNA testing is by and large up to 99.99% accurate for most of the tests. This is possible due to modern technology and rules for DNA analysis. Most DNA tests are carried out at least two times, independently of each other. This ensures that there is no wrong data used in the first test or that no incorrect marker analysis in the first test. Such a procedure also helps the credibility of the test. If, by any chance, there is a discrepancy between the two tests, then fresh samples could be collected and the entire process carried out again.

With science giving us more accurate testing, the matter of establishing paternity is easier and more reliable than in the past. DNA testing methods include SWAB Test and DNA Genetic Identity. DNA testing centers are easy to locate and the costs are reasonable. For this reason, most paternity matters are settled prior to trial. In addition, Complaints and Petitions to establish Paternity are now often routine and agreed to by all parties. The resulting child support and custody proceedings are also involved. There are three main ways in which paternity is typically established; by a paternity affidavit, by an administrative order based on genetic test results, or by a court order. Some state laws provide that both persons who sign the paternity affidavit waive any right to bring a court or administrative action to determine the parentage of the child other than for purposes of rescinding the affidavit."

The modern science of genetics had its start in 1866 when an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel provided a simple yet powerful description of how traits are passed on from one generation to another. Mendel’s work was unappreciated until 1900 — more than fifteen years after his death. In his initial formulation, he described how sexual beings get two genes for each trait, one from each parent. The trait expressed, or visible, is a result of the interplay between these two genes."

"text": "Paternity Fraud: Answers to your Questionsby IDENTIGENE on 02/27/2017We sometimes receive inquiries from customers questioning if it’s possible for one participant in a paternity test to switch samples, either with themselves or someone else, or if they could have changed the DNA somehow by eating before collecting DNA. If this happens to you, it is considered paternity fraud, and you may not get the accurate results you are looking for. Here are some sample scenarios. Paternity Fraud: Mom submits her DNA as the alleged father’s One question we encountered recently was a concerned possible father who thought maybe the mother of the child could have swabbed herself in his place to force the results to show not excluded, meaning he is considered to be the biological father. In all paternity testing cases our laboratory also includes the amelogenin gene to verify the sex of all participants. This helps to verify the alleged father being tested is male and the mother is female. We can also verify the sex of the child. This means mom could not swab herself and submit her sample as the alleged father without our laboratory experts discovering that. If this does occur we place the paternity test on hold and contact the participants to ask them to re-swab the correct participants. Another sign that the mother swabbed in the alleged father’s place would be the mother and father would show as identical DNA, which is not possible."

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

NON-INVASIVE Prenatal DNA Paternity Testing in Canada and the USAInformation below is part of our information on paternity testing. We have a whole webpage regarding the NON-INVASIVE Prenatal DNA paternity testing click here Paternity Testing Before Birth A DNA paternity test can be performed accurately before a child is born through amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling and NON-Invasive prenatal paternity testing (fetal genetic material testing) at between 8 - 13 weeks into the pregnancy. There are a few companies in the USA and Canada that claim they are doing this type of testing. Non-Invasive Prenatal Genetic Paternity Testing Non-invasive paternity testing during the term of pregnancy is now available. Traditionally, prenatal testing required samples obtained by means of CVS (Chorionic Villi Sampling) or Amniocentesis by means of a long needle inserted into the pregnant female's abdomen into the uterus to get either a sample of the placenta or amniotic fluid. In many cases such sample collection was difficult and the risks to the fetus may not warrant such invasive procedures. Through application of research technology it is now possible to determine the paternity of an unborn child using a simple maternal blood sample and a cell sample collected from alleged fathers by means of a swabbing of cheek cells from the inside of the alleged father's mouth."

Don't buy that home DNA test until you read this first!by Nina Fenton Published on August 13, 2015We’ve all seen the episodes of “Maury” where he bellows to his hooting studio audience that the gentleman on stage next to him “IS NOT the father.” Sure, this proclamation is usually followed by some chest puffing and maybe even a few hysterical sobs by those intimately involved on stage, but not before the voyeuristic viewers secretly relish in receiving a front row seat to the paternity drama fest that unfolds. If you need paternity testing, you can forgo these spectacles by opting for a low key solution, much like you may have seen on Health Street’s VH1 show, Swab Stories. Paternity testing is not supposed to be a spectacle; it’s about real people with families who are living the reality of determining the paternity of their children or loved ones – an incredibly personal issue. However, the Who’s Your Daddy Truck may not be able to make a pit stop in your neighborhood, and even that option might be a bit too “over the top” for you. You can also set up an appointment at a clinic near you: Use My Location ORBut, what options do parents questioning the true paternity of their children have that are private and easy to use without going to a clinic? This is where we give the scientists and laboratories a major high five! Thankfully, this journey can now be navigated in the privacy of your own home, as home paternity tests quickly gain momentum vis a vis the clinic-based options."

"text": "\"Occasionally, situations arise in which people require concrete, scientific evidence of parentage, whether it be their own or that of someone else. In most instances, maternity is easy to determine. Before surrogate motherhood became possible, the woman who gave birth to a child was obviously that child's gestational, genetic, and legal mother, and this continues to be true in the vast majority of cases today. Unfortunately, questions of paternity aren't so easy to answer. In order to make a determination of fatherhood, scientists almost always work backwards--from the child to the potential parent--to ascertain the actual nature of the relationship. In the past, this typically involved identifying specific phenotypes (in particular, specific blood types) in the child and using this information to either \"\"rule in\"\" or \"\"rule out\"\" possible fathers. However, this system presented a number of problems, not the least of which was that it often yielded inconclusive results. Thus, since the 1990s, the more common approach has been to consider the presence of particular genotypic markers when attempting to establish fatherhood (and, in a handful of cases, motherhood). Using Blood-Typing in Paternity Tests The process of DNA fingerprinting was developed by Alec Jeffreys in 1984, and it first became available for paternity testing in 1988. Before this sort of DNA analysis was available, blood types were the most common factor considered in human paternity testing."

If you do not need a DNA test for a legal matter, you have the option to purchase the DDC over the counter paternity test kit from from one of our stores near you. You can then collect your own DNA samples and mail them to our laboratory. Our home paternity test kit is easy to use, using cheek swabs to collect the samples. It’s a quick and painless procedure that involves rubbing a cotton-like swab against the inside of the cheek. Using this simple procedure, samples are collected from the alleged father and child (and the mother, if she is available) and sent to our lab. At our lab, we purify the DNA and prepare it for testing with a battery of at least 16 DNA markers to produce a genetic profile for each tested individual. We then compare the child’s profile with the profile of the alleged father to confirm that the child has inherited DNA from the alleged father. We then perform a statistical analysis to calculate the Probability of Paternity."

"text": "\"Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenicity (page 6) (This chapter has 8 pages)© Kenneth Todar, Ph DAvoiding Host Immunological Responses On epithelial surfaces the main antibacterial immune defense of the host is the protection afforded by secretory antibody (Ig A). Once the epithelial surfaces have been penetrated, however, the major host defenses of inflammation, complement, phagocytosis, Antibody-mediated Immunity (AMI), and Cell-mediated Immunity (CMI) are encountered. If there is a way for a pathogen to successfully bypass or overcome these host defenses, then some bacterial pathogen has probably discovered it. Bacteria evolve very rapidly in relation to their host, so that most of the feasible anti-host strategies are likely to have been tried out and exploited. Ability to defeat the immune defenses may play a major role in the virulence of a bacterium and in the pathology of disease. Several strategic bacterial defenses are described below. Immunological Tolerance to a Bacterial Antigen Tolerance is a property of the host in which there is an immunologically-specific reduction in the immune response to a given Ag. Tolerance to a bacterial Ag does not involve a general failure in the immune response but a particular deficiency in relation to the specific antigen (s) of a given bacterium. If there is a depressed immune response to relevant antigens of a parasite, the process of infection is facilitated. Tolerance can involve either AMI or CMI or both arms of the immunological response."

Learning Objectives Describe how the skin and mucosae serve as a protective barrier which guards against infection and injury Key Takeaways Key Points The skin consists of the epidermis, dermis, and basement membrane. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and forms a protective barrier over the body’s surface. Its layers continually grow outward as older layers shed away. The dermis is below the epidermis and is made of connective tissue that cushions the body from stress and strain. It contains mechanoreceptors, blood vessels, and sweat glands. The mucosae are linings covered in epithelium and involved in absorption and secretion. They line cavities that are exposed to the external environment and internal organs. The barrier immune system is part of the innate immune system, and consists of anything that the skin, mucosae, and chemical secretions of the body do to prevent pathogens from invading. The barrier system can fail when the skin breaks or when pathogens invade the mucosal epithelium, so other innate and adaptive immune system functions exist to destroy pathogens in these cases."

"text": "Overview of Adaptive Immunity The adaptive immune system is composed of highly-specialized systemic cells and processes that eliminate or prevent pathogenic growth. Learning Objectives Describe adaptive immunity Key Takeaways Key Points The adaptive immune response provides the vertebrate immune system with the ability to recognize and remember specific pathogens to generate immunity, and mount stronger attacks each time the pathogen is encountered. The cells of the adaptive immune system are a type of leukocyte called a lymphocyte. B cells and T cells are the major types of lymphocytes involved in adaptive immunity. B and T cells can create memory cells to defend against future attacks by the same pathogen by mounting a stronger and faster adaptive immune response against that pathogen before it can even cause symptoms of infection. Antigen -presenting cells present captured antigens to immature lymphocytes, which then mature to be specific to that antigen and work to destroy pathogens that express that antigen. Hypersensitivity disorders (allergies) may occur when an adaptive immune response forms against antigens that aren’t associated with pathogens, such as pollen. More complex hypersensitivity disorders may involve cytotoxic T cells and cause chronic inflammation and damage to the body’s own tissues. Key Termsantigen: A substance that induces an immune response, usually a molecule found on a pathogen such as a toxin or molecule expressed by the pathogen or pathogen-infected cells.hypersensitivity: A disorder in which an adaptive immune response forms memory cells specific to antigens that aren’t associated with pathogens.antigen presenting cell: A cell that presents captured antigens to immature T-cells.

"text": "Differences between polysaccharide and polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccinesby Bhav Patel · September 27, 2014Differences between polysaccharide and polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines Polysaccharides vaccines have been in use for the past thirty to forty years in order to prevent infections such as Streptococcus Pneumonia and Neisseria meningitis (caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b). However, these infections are one of the main causes of death and disease in children under five years old in certain geographical locations around the world (mainly developing countries) and the polysaccharide vaccine alone is not effective at treating these infections in children so young; thus the polysaccharide protein conjugate vaccine was developed. The bacteria mentioned above are extracellular pathogens and are therefore enclosed in a capsule consisting of polysaccharides. This capsule is a major virulence determinant of the bacteria. So in order to protect ourselves from the infections caused by these bacteria, this capsule must be destroyed. These antibacterial polysaccharide vaccines are used to prevent bacterial infections caused by capsulated (extracellular) bacteria. Since they are vaccines, they contain part of the virulence determinant of the bacteria; in this case, the polysaccharide capsule in order to build up the individuals immunity/defence (by antibody production) against it. So, the polysaccharide vaccine can be described as an inactivated vaccine that contains fractions of the polysaccharide capsule of the bacteria, meaning that the bacteria has been inactivated using either heat or chemical such as formalin and is not active/alive and therefore cannot continue to grow or replicate once in the individual (as opposed to live attenuated vaccines); hence there is no risk of this type of vaccine causing any adverse effects to the individual (i.e. no risk of infection from the vaccine alone). A polysaccharide vaccine can also be given as a pure vaccine, i.e. a vaccine that contains nothing but fractions of the polysaccharide capsule of the virulent bacteria (as opposed being mixed with other substances). If administered to the individual in this form, after inactivation of the bacteria, certain bacterial components, i.e. the polysaccharide capsule would need to be further purified for use in the vaccine."

Even though most of the people, most of the time, are healthy and have the ability to do their daily activities, sometimes, some of them fall sick or get illness, which is caused by pathogens. Pathogens are any foreign organisms that cause diseases in host plants and animals; e.g. virus and bacteria. Antigen is a molecule located in the cell wall of bacteria or the coating of organisms. Antigen causes our immune system to produce the antibody against it and protect our body from harmful foreign organisms. What is Antigen? Originally the term Antigen came from Antibody generator. It may be any substance, which comes from the environment or forms within the body. Generally, antigens are protein and polysaccharide (capsule, coats, cell wall, and flagella) located in the cell walls of bacteria or in the coating of other organisms. It causes our immune system to produce the antibody against it."

Those that do so are called pathogens or pathogenic organisms. Our bodies have a number of defences to protect us against invasion by pathogens. These defences can be either non-specific or specific. Non Specific: Works against all pathogens. Specific: Works against one particular pathogen. Once passed all non-specific defences such as the skin and mucous membranes and patrolling phagocytes and granulocytes, the infectious agent must finally confront the specific defences that are present within the body. Lymphocytes: Cells that are involved in both non-specific and specific defence. About 20 to 30% of the white cells in the blood are lymphocytes. Most lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow, but they are also produced in lymphoid tissues."

A second, specific immune response is soon encountered by invasive bacteria. The adaptive immune forces of antibody-mediated immunity (AMI) and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) are brought into play during the presentation of bacterial antigens to the immunological system. Although AMI is the principal immunological response effective against extracellular bacteria, the major defensive and protective response against intracellular bacteria is CMI. On epithelial surfaces, the main specific immune defense of the host is the protection afforded by secretory Ig A antibodies. Once the epithelial surfaces have been penetrated, however, the immune defenses of AMI and CMI are encountered. If there is a way for an organism to successfully bypass or overcome the immunological defenses, then some bacterial pathogen has probably \"\"discovered\"\" it."

"text": "\"Antibody and antigen Antibodies, or Y-shaped immunoglobulins , are proteins found in the blood that help to fight against foreign substances called antigens. Antigens, which are usually proteins or polysaccharides, stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. The antibodies inactivate the antigen and help to remove it from the body. While antigens can be the source of infections from pathogenic bacteria and viruses , organic molecules detrimental to the body from internal or environmental sources also act as antigens. Genetic engineering and the use of various mutational mechanisms allow the construction of a vast array of antibodies (each with a unique genetic sequence). Specific genes for antibodies direct the construction of antigen specific regions of the antibody molecule. Such antigen-specific regions are located at the extremes of the Y-shaped immunglobulin-molecule. Once the immune system has created an antibody for an antigen whose attack it has survived, it continues to produce antibodies for subsequent attacks from that antigen. This long-term memory of the immune system provides the basis for the practice of vaccination against disease. The immune system, with its production of antibodies, has the ability to recognize, remember, and destroy well over a million different antigens."

The first 3 are often referred to as microorganisms, and the latter 2 are also known as parasites. The process through which pathogens cause disease is called pathogenesis. The immune system defends against pathogens two ways: preventing foreign organisms from entering the body and destroying harmful organisms that do enter the body. It detects pathogens and differentiates between potentially harmful agents and the body's own healthy tissues.

Superantigens Superantigens are antigens that provoke a very intense immune response. They are bacterial proteins. Through a series of interactions with various cells of the im- mune system, superantigens nonspecifically stimulate the pro- liferation of immune cells called T cells. These cells are types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) that act against foreign organ- isms and tissues (transplants) and regulate the activation and proliferation of other cells of the immune system. In response to superantigens, T cells are stimulated to release enormous amounts of chemicals called cytokines. Cytokines are small protein molecules produced by various body cells, especially T cells, that regulate immune responses and mediate cell-to-cell communication (see Chapter 17, page 495). The excessively high levels of cytokines released by T cells enter the bloodstream and give rise to a number of symptoms, including fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes shock and even death. Bac- terial superantigens include the staphylococcal toxins that cause food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.45."

They often carry triple-digit interest rates and include all kinds of hidden fees. One payday loan can quickly snowball into too much debt for one family to handle. Many payday borrowers come up short on their loan’s due date, so they must take out a new loan to pay off the old one. Or sometimes, lenders will offer consumers additional cash if they take out a new loan to pay off the old one. This is called “rolling over” a loan. Each time a loan is rolled over, the lender tacks on additional fees."

FAST. \"\" The ads are on the radio, television, the Internet, even in the mail. They refer to payday loans, cash advance loans, check advance loans, post-dated check loans, or deferred deposit loans. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, says that regardless of their name, these small, short-term, high-rate loans by check cashers, finance companies and others all come at a very high price. Here’s how they work: A borrower writes a personal check payable to the lender for the amount the person wants to borrow, plus the fee they must pay for borrowing. The company gives the borrower the amount of the check less the fee, and agrees to hold the check until the loan is due, usually the borrower’s next payday. Or, with the borrower’s permission, the company deposits the amount borrowed — less the fee — into the borrower’s checking account electronically. The loan amount is due to be debited the next payday."

A payday loan (also called a payday advance, salary loan, payroll loan, small dollar loan, short term, or cash advance loan) is a small, short-term unsecured loan, \"\"regardless of whether repayment of loans is linked to a borrower's payday.\"\" [ 1] [2] [3] The loans are also sometimes referred to as \"\" cash advances ,\"\" though that term can also refer to cash provided against a prearranged line of credit such as a credit card. Payday advance loans rely on the consumer having previous payroll and employment records. Legislation regarding payday loans varies widely between different countries, and in federal systems, between different states or provinces. To prevent usury (unreasonable and excessive rates of interest), some jurisdictions limit the annual percentage rate (APR) that any lender, including payday lenders, can charge. Some jurisdictions outlaw payday lending entirely, and some have very few restrictions on payday lenders. In the United States, the rates of these loans used to be restricted in most states by the Uniform Small Loan Laws (USLL), [4] [5] with 36–40% APR generally the norm. There are many different ways to calculate annual percentage rate of a loan. Depending on which method is used, the rate calculated may differ dramatically; e.g., for a $15 charge on a $100 14-day payday loan, it could be (from the borrower's perspective) anywhere from 391% to 3,733%.

"text": "\"The Future of Tribal Lending Under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Hilary B. Miller About the Authors: Hilary B. Miller is a member of Connecticut, New York, and District of Columbia bars. He practices law in Greenwich, Connecticut. Some Indian tribes - particularly impecunious tribes located remotely from population centers, without sufficient traffic to engage profitably in casino gambling - have found much-needed revenue from consumer lending over the Internet. In a typical model, the tribe forms a tribal lending entity (TLE) that is financed by a third party. The TLE then makes loans over the Internet to consumers nationwide, usually on terms that are unlawful under the internal laws of the states where the borrowers reside. Because the TLE is deemed an \"\"arm\"\" of the tribe, the TLE benefits from the tribe's sovereign immunity. As a result, the TLE may be sued only under very limited circumstances; and, perhaps even more importantly, the TLE is exempt from most state-court discovery intended to unearth the economic relationship between the TLE and its non-tribal financier. Because this model has, at least to date, provided a relatively bulletproof means to circumvent disparate state consumer-protection laws, the model has attracted Internet-based payday and, to a lesser extent, installment lenders. Although data are spotty, it is likely the fastest-growing model for unsecured online lending. Tribal sovereign immunity renders this model the preferred legal structure for online lenders desirous of employing uniform product pricing and terms nationwide, including for loans to borrowers who reside in states that prohibit such lending entirely."

Just after the first World War, a viral disease, encephalitis lethargica, attacked almost 5 million people throughout the world, and then suddenly disappeared in the 1920s. Known as sleeping sickness in the United States , this disease killed one third of its victims and led to post-encephalitic parkinsonism in many others.

Abstract Drug-induced parkinsonism is the second most common cause of parkinsonism after Parkinson's disease and their distinction has crucial implications in terms of management and prognosis. However, differentiating between these conditions can be challenging on a clinical ground, especially in the early stages. We therefore performed a review to ascertain whether assessment of non-motor symptoms, or use of ancillary investigations, namely dopamine transporter imaging, transcranial sonography of the substantia nigra, and scintigraphy for myocardial sympathetic innervation, can be recommended to distinguish between these conditions. Among non-motor symptoms, there is evidence that hyposmia can differentiate between patients with “pure” drug-induced parkinsonism and those with degenerative parkinsonism unmasked by an anti-dopaminergic drug. However, several issues, including smoking history and cognitive functions, can influence smell function assessment. Higher diagnostic accuracy has been demonstrated for dopamine transporter imaging. Finally, preliminary evidence exists for sympathetic cardiac scintigraphy to predict dopaminergic pathway abnormalities and to differentiate between drug-induced parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease. Imaging of the dopaminergic pathway seems to be the only, reasonably available, technique to aid the differential diagnosis between drug-induced parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease.

"text": "While many people learn suddenly that they have kidney failure, or end stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) happens over time. For those who know they will be facing kidney failure, they have time to learn about the treatment choices, or modalities, available and prepare. Whether a person has months to prepare or needs to make a sudden decision about which modality is right, his or her doctor or nephrologist (doctor specializing in kidney care) will help educate and guide. Dialysis and kidney transplantation There are two treatments for kidney failure: dialysis and transplantation. Dialysis is a treatment that cleans the blood to remove waste when the kidneys are no longer able to do so. There are multiple forms of dialysis. Hemodialysis cleans the blood by removing it from the body and filtering it through an artificial kidney. Peritoneal dialysis cleans the blood using the lining of the abdomen, called the peritoneum, as a filter. A soft tube called a catheter is surgically placed in the abdomen with one end of the tube on the outside of the body that’s used to fill the peritoneum with dialysis fluid and then drain it out after it has had time dwell in the abdomen to remove toxins. Transplantation is a treatment where a working kidney is removed from one person and placed into the body of a person whose kidneys have failed."

These medicines constitute a class of drugs used to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms that mimic the action of naturally occurring dopamine. They stimulate dopamine receptors directly without being metabolized to another compound as is the case with levodopa. Although this class of medication is less potent than levodopa, they can be very beneficial in treating symptoms for long periods of time. What are the currently available dopamine receptor agonists in the United States? Five drugs are now FDA approved and available for use in the United States to treat PD. The first agonist released was Parlodel® (bromocriptine) in the 1970’s. Parlodel® firmly established the beneficial role that this class of drugs can play in the treatment of PD. Subsequently, Permax® (pergolide), Mirapex® (pramipexole) and Requip® (ropinirole) were released in that order. Most recently, Apokyn® (apomorphine) was approved for the treatment of acute and unpredictable episodes of hypomobility, i.e., “off” episodes."

"text": "Parkinson’s Disease & Medical Marijuana Published on April 7, 2015, By Gooey Rabinski Conditions Marijuana Knowledge Base Medical Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a motor system disorder classified as a progressive neurological disease which occurs when neurons in the basal ganglia degenerate, causing a shortage of dopamine production. This results in the impairments in movement associated with the disease. Parkinson’s typically affects men over 60, but — as Michael J. Fox has unfortunately proven — can afflict significantly younger adults. Historically, cannabis has been used to treat PD as far back as the 19th Century, despite the fact that doctors were unaware of cannabinoids and no clinical studies had been conducted. Patients with a variety of similar neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, dystonia, and epilepsy have been found to gain significant benefit from the use of cannabis. Can the same be said of Parkinson’s? The Research While the cause of Parkinson’s remains unknown, it is tied to the untimely death of specialized cells in the brain that produce dopamine and results in a lack of coordination, poor motor function, and difficulty walking. The primary symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include: Tremors Rigidity Bradykinesia (very slow physical movements)Impaired balance coordination Sleep disturbance Neuropathic pain Cannabis has been found to treat not only the shaking and rigidity that accompany Parkinson’s, but also the depression that typically results. Tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC) and Cannabidiol ( CBD ), the primary cannabinoids (active therapeutic chemicals) found in cannabis, are known to control spasms, reduce inflammation, and prevent further neurological damage. According to one study, smoking cannabis significantly reduced the tremors associated with PD, improved sleep, and reduced pain in patient participants."

"text": "Parkinson’s Disease & Medical Marijuana Published on April 7, 2015, By Gooey Rabinski Conditions Marijuana Knowledge Base Medical Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a motor system disorder classified as a progressive neurological disease which occurs when neurons in the basal ganglia degenerate, causing a shortage of dopamine production. This results in the impairments in movement associated with the disease. Parkinson’s typically affects men over 60, but — as Michael J. Fox has unfortunately proven — can afflict significantly younger adults. Historically, cannabis has been used to treat PD as far back as the 19th Century, despite the fact that doctors were unaware of cannabinoids and no clinical studies had been conducted. Patients with a variety of similar neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, dystonia, and epilepsy have been found to gain significant benefit from the use of cannabis. Can the same be said of Parkinson’s? The Research While the cause of Parkinson’s remains unknown, it is tied to the untimely death of specialized cells in the brain that produce dopamine and results in a lack of coordination, poor motor function, and difficulty walking. The primary symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include: Tremors Rigidity Bradykinesia (very slow physical movements)Impaired balance coordination Sleep disturbance Neuropathic pain Cannabis has been found to treat not only the shaking and rigidity that accompany Parkinson’s, but also the depression that typically results. Tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC) and Cannabidiol ( CBD ), the primary cannabinoids (active therapeutic chemicals) found in cannabis, are known to control spasms, reduce inflammation, and prevent further neurological damage. According to one study, smoking cannabis significantly reduced the tremors associated with PD, improved sleep, and reduced pain in patient participants."

You can ask for numbing medicine before you get the needle sticks if they bother you. Many people get used to the needles in time. Painful muscle cramps can happen during hemodialysis, especially if you gain a lot of fluid weight between treatments. Your care team can help stop the cramps when they happen and work with you to keep them from happening again. You can help by following your fluid limits and learning about dialysis. In peritoneal dialysis (PD), abdominal pain can be a sign of an infection called peritonitis."

Wikimedia Commons When you or someone you love has Parkinson's disease (PD), it can seem that new and better treatments are nowhere on the horizon. But when you consider the history of development of new therapies for PD, there is cause for optimism. While PD was likely known to the ancients, it was not seriously studied until medieval period (apparently by the Islamic philosopher Averroes). PD was not well-recognized in the ancient world probably because not many people lived into their 60s or 70s in that time. So PD must have been more rare in the ancient world than it is today. Scientific study of PD did not commence until James Parkinson published his ‘Essay on the shaking palsy’ in 1817. From that point on, the signs and symptoms of PD were recognized as a syndrome or collection of symptoms that had a common cause. In the early decades of the 20th century, a flu epidemic swept the world. Some victims of this epidemic developed signs of PD and their cases were studied intensively, thus advancing knowledge of the parkinsonian symptoms."

PARKINSON'S DISEASEParkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by a combination of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Typically, the presence of two of these four features is necessary for the diagnosis of parkinsonism. The most common cause of parkinsonism is Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative condition with a slow and relatively selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, so dopamine is the main neurotransmitter affected in PD. Pathologically in PD, there is neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, especially the dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta, causing loss of neuromelanin pigmentation. Clinical symptoms of PD occur when approximately 50-70% of these neurons are damaged. The clinical features of PD can be categorized as motor, autonomic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Cardinal Motor manifestations Resting tremor Resting tremor is one of the most easily recognizable and the most common presentation and noticeable features of PDIn approximately 50% of patients, tremor is the initial symptom and approximately 15% of patients never have tremor throughout the disease course."

"text": "The peace lily can be deadly to dogs and cats. Although many varieties of lilies are dangerous only to cats, the beautiful peace lily is poisonous to both cats and dogs. Even a small piece of the plant can make your precious pet violently ill. In some cases, it can even be deadly. Toxicity Peace lilies are moderately toxic. Even a small amount can cause symptoms in a cat or dog, but it does not cause kidney damage like many other lilies since it is not a true lily. A dog's or cat's reaction to a peace lily is caused by small crystal-like formations within the plant's cells. These actually shoot out of the plant when it is bruised or broken, causing irritation of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Chewing and Ingestion Chewing on the leaves, stem or flowers of the plant is the most common method of ingestion. Even if the dog or cat does not swallow pieces of the plant, he is likely to have a reaction simply from making contact through chewing."

This occurs when clients use \"\"spot on\"\" flea control products containing permethrin and labeled for use in dogs on their cat. This must be a fairly easy mistake to make because we see two or three cats a year with permethrin toxicosis. This causes severe tremoring, salivation and seizures in cats. It is unclear what percentage of cats who are treated with permethrin based flea products die from the exposure but some do. Most cats will respond to treatment with muscle relaxants such as methocarbamol and diazepam (Valium Rx). There is no specific antidote for permethrin poisoning. Thoroughly washing the permethrin off the hair and skin if it is accidentally applied can prevent poisoning and doing this helps even after clinical symptoms of permethrin poisoning have occurred. Once in a while small dogs develop muscular weakness after permethrin products are applied but this is a transient effect and dogs are generally not considered to be as susceptible to permethrin toxicosis as cats are. The best way to avoid this poisoning is to read the label of all flea control products before applying them to any pet, but especially before applying them to a cat."

Why are plants poisonous or otherwise harmful? Plants are poisonous, or have other nasty features, primarily because they can't move around to avoid predators (herbivores). Plants have developed an array of weapons (like thorns, hairs) and a lethal chemical arsenal (secondary metabolites) to ward off herbivores while remaining rooted firmly. Thus, plants are \"\"intentionally trying to hurt us\"\". In addition, plants also unintentionally cause great human suffering ( i.e ., hayfever ) when they shed their pollen, which is a also direct consequence of their non-motile lifestyle. II.

Your pet might also become weak, suffer from tremors or seizures , stop eating or fall into a coma. Less obvious signs of poisoning include blindness, abnormal heartbeat, abdominal pain and depression. Effects of Poisoning The effects of azalea poisoning are usually noticeable within a few hours of ingestion. The severity of the effects depends greatly on how much of the plant your pet has eaten.

"text": "Toxic Plants for Pets It’s a lot of fun to throw a stick and have the dog fetch it to bring it back or to pick a long, strappy leaf to tease the cat but unfortunately, not all plants are safe and some are even deadly. It’s not necessary to eradicate every plant in the garden but being aware of which are the dangerous ones will help keep them safe. Of course every house benefits from plants in the garden and around the home and who doesn’t enjoy having a few vases of flowers in the house. Inquisitive pets and especially puppies and kittens that are teething, love to explore and will, if given the chance, chew on branches and leaves and because it feels good will probably ignore any bitter taste that the plant might have. The level of toxicity in plants ranges from being deadly to causing stomach pains to mild rashes and mouth ulcers. The signs evident in a pet of toxic poisoning can also vary but the things to look out for start with irritation to the mouth or skin, depression, lethargy and lack of appetite but of course vomiting, convulsions and spasms require emergency veterinary care. Pets can be discouraged from chewing on plants by giving them plenty of other more appropriate things to chew on such as bones, ropes and chew toys. Using a fetch toy or rope is still lots of fun and a young dog should be taught to associate that with a game instead of every stick or bulb in the garden. Be particularly diligent when working in the garden whether planting or pruning, especially if cats and dogs like to play around you. It wouldn’t take them long to pick up a stem from a toxic plant or a bulb that hasn’t yet been planted and because you are busy working, you may not be aware until they begin to show signs of being poisoned."

"text": "\" [ Front Page] [ Features] [ Departments] [ SGAP Home Page] [ Subscribe]Australian Native Poisonous Plants Dr Ross Mc Kenzie Plant poisoning is nationally important to Australia. About a thousand species of plants here are known to be toxic to livestock and humans. Poisoning of livestock by the more important of these costs us about $100 million each year. Deaths of cattle from plant poisoning in Queensland cost over $10 million yearly. Sixty percent of the toxic plants in Australia are native to this country and have their major economic effect on agricultural enterprises which produce livestock by grazing native pastures. These industries contribute significantly to export-generated income and thus to our prosperity as a nation. This makes the reduction of the effects of plant poisoning on livestock one of the serious concerns of the pastoral industries. The toxic native species belong to about 70 of the over 200 native plant families in Australia. Families with more than 10 toxic species include the legumes (Fabaceae, Mimosaceae), the nightshades and tobaccos (Solanaceae), the spurges (Euphorbiaceae), the grasses (Poaceae), the cycads (Cycadaceae, Zamiaceae), the saltbushes (Chenopodiaceae), the riceflowers (Thymelaeaceae) and the buttercups (Ranunculaceae). Some genera are generally toxic (for example Macrozamia and Pimelea ), but it is important to note that a number of important toxic species (for example Erythrophleum chlorostachys and Trema tomentosa) have few or no known toxic relatives."

"text": "Oct 01 2012 22 Comments The beauty of autumn’s red spider lily, Japan’s flower of death The merciful drop in humidity is a welcome sign that after months of discomfort, summer is at last on the wane. However, a far more reliable indicator is the blossoming of red spider lilies. Higanbana to use one of its many Japanese names. Or simply the flower of death. Poisonous to rodents and other wild animals, they were often planted in and around graveyards during Japan’s pre-cremation days to stop the dead being eaten. The beginning, perhaps, of their connection with death. The name of the flower can also refer to ‘the other shore’; its bright colours said to guide souls into the afterlife. An aspect that presumably explains its use at funerals. And if that wasn’t enough, another story is that red spider lilies bloom along the paths of departing lovers. Companions who for one reason or another are destined to never meet again."

All parts of the daffodil plant, which is a member of the lily family are toxic – especially the bulb which can prove fatal if consumed. If a dog eats or chews the bulbs, leaves, flowers, or even drink the water these flowers stand in, it can develop signs of poisoning. Cases of daffodil poisoning peaks around Easter, with most dog owners unaware of their potential danger. The lethal dose can be as low as 15g of bulbs – this could be as little as just one bulb!Symptoms of poisoning: Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Staggering, Collapse, Unconsciousness, in severe cases Coma, Death in a few hours.

Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. No, the lilli pilli berry is not poisonous. I have been eating them for years and enjoy the slightly tart but very refreshing taste. We have two varieties in our yard - one is pear-shaped and pink to red - the other is larger and round (about the size of a largish marble). The larger one tends to be purplish rather than just red but is consistently sweeter and juicier than the pear shaped ones. Don't eat the seed in the berry. I don't believe it is harmful but it does not taste good. Check the berry for insects before eating as they can attract small ants.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?"

People raise various types of birds for the purpose of producing meat, eggs, and also for their beauty. Raising various types of poultry birds are one of the best and lucrative business ventures. Along with profit, people usually keep various types of birds for the purpose of producing fresh food. Some people also raise birds as a hobby and for entertaining purpose. Generally two legged creatures who have feathers are called birds. In other words, birds are the back boned creatures who have the ability to fly and to control body temperature. And the birds which are raised commercially for the purpose of producing meat, egg or features are known as poultry. Peacock is also a poultry bird, like ducks, chicken, pigeon, turkey etc."

"text": "Peafowl Peacock ADVERTISEMENTImage Source Peafowl is the term given to 2 species of bird which are members of the pheasant family. The Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is a native bird to the Indian subcontinent and the Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus) breeds from east Burma to Java. Males are known as ‘Peacocks’ and females as ‘Peahens’. The Peacock is the national bird of India. Peacocks are well known for their magnificent, beautiful tail feather displays during courtship. Peafowl Description The Peacocks brilliant ‘train’ contains over 200 shimmering feathers, each one decorated with eyespots. The male Indian Peacock has iridescent colouring of blue and green on its head, neck and breast. Their long ‘trains’ are not the tail quill feathers but elongated upper tail feather coverts. The train is bronze and green and has a series of ‘eyes’ which are more prominent when the tail is fanned. The male Indian Peafowls actual tail feathers are short and grey in colour and can only be seen from behind when the tail is extended and fully fanned."

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

"text": "\"Info Barrel > Lifestyle > Outdoors How to Raise Peacocks and Peahens By Amerowolf Nov 18, 2012498 Shares 0 498 0 0When I was a child, our farm was always the weird farm because we had dozens of peacocks running rampant about the landscape. Our house is still like that today. Owning peafowl is like bringing a little bit of the zoo home with you. They are exotic birds, but live rather well in temperate climates. There is not any particular use for peacocks. Their eggs are gamey and are not great for eating in comparison to chicken eggs, though they are larger. The meat of peafowl tastes like chicken, but a lot of people find raising peafowl for meat somehow wrong. The most profitable thing you can get from a peafowl is either selling the bird itself or selling the male tail feathers. The peacock (the male) is known for it's long colorful tail that fans out and looks a lot like eyes staring at you. They use this for mating with females."

A flock of these pure white birds ranging busily over a grassy field is one of the prettiest sights you will ever see.

Many people are realizing that the difference between pasture raised chicken meat and eggs, and those from large confinement operations is similar to the difference between fresh seasonal heirloom tomatoes, and those picked green, ripened with ethanol, and shipped across the country. Chickens can also be beneficial in diversified farming operations by helping to control pests, providing an alternative, year-round source of income, and producing high-nitrogen manure for fertilizer. Interest in raising chickens has grown quickly in the last few years, accompanied by a resurgent interest in heritage breeds, pastured poultry, and on-farm processing. Here I try to offer a broad range of resources, applicable to small-mid sized farmers and hobbyists alike. Below I provide links to websites, magazines, articles, and books about raising chickens and other types of poultry, and information about small scale poultry processing.2) Where to Go for Information to Start Raising Chickens Chickens 101 – offers basic information about raising chickens, starting with eggs, coop plans, chicken breeds, and more. Chicken Breeds List doesn’t just list breeds, as their name might suggest. They also provide great information and articles on chicken care, breeding, and much more.

The males are called peacocks, while the females are called peahens. Together, they are peafowl. Peafowl are among the largest of all birds that fly.

Frequently Asked Questions At what age do chickens molt (lose feathers/natural process)? Chickens will molt at about 18 months of age. Molting is where they lose all or some of their feathers and stop producing eggs. This is a natural shedding of feathers. Molting may take 2 to 4 months. Laying will resume when molt is over, but may not be as good as before molt process. For answers to many more of your poultry questions, we recommend the book Guide to Raising Chickens.

Indian peafowl Male (peacock) displaying Female (peahen)Conservation status Least Concern ( IUCN 3.1) [1]Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Galliformes Family: Phasianidae Genus: Pavo Species: P. cristatus Binomial name Pavo cristatus Linnaeus, 1758Map showing native range Indian peacock in full display The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl ( Pavo cristatus ), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world. The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship. Despite the length and size of these covert feathers, peacocks are still capable of flight. Peahens lack the train, and have a greenish lower neck and duller brown plumage. The Indian peafowl lives mainly on the ground in open forest or on land under cultivation where they forage for berries, grains but also prey on snakes, lizards, and small rodents. Their loud calls make them easy to detect, and in forest areas often indicate the presence of a predator such as a tiger. They forage on the ground in small groups and usually try to escape on foot through undergrowth and avoid flying, though they fly into tall trees to roost."

"text": "What do Peafowl Eat? is a question I’m asked on a weekly basic. Wild peafowl in India have an omnivorous diet, anything from seeds, greens, insects and small reptiles and peafowl that are allowed to free range in the UK will scavenge for many things on their own. They should, however, be supplied with food at all times. Different types of bird pellets and grains are some of the options, but check around locally to see what is available. I provide my caged birds with a pellet mix I have made up game bird feed like which they seem to enjoy. Peafowl also need at least 20% protein to be healthy and reproduce well. ( This number is debatable. I have seen some peafowl enthusiasts suggest as high as 32% protein, while some get by with lower. Twenty percent seems to be a safely agreed upon middle ground.)"

"text": "Peacock First Aid These first aid tips are based on my own, Susan Rowe's experience and from the wise mind of Mike Johns at Rockn'Cedar in Oklahoma. When a peacock appears listless, droopy, feathers ruffled, won't or can't eat, and has a weird look, you know something is not right and should take steps to help the bird, if possible. Sometimes, with all you do, the bird perishes. Hopefully, we can learn and prevent these problems in the future. Here are some symptoms to look for and what I have done:* First thing: what color are the droppings? Yellowish and much white mean WORMS/INTESTINAL PROBLEMS, which may be fixed by Terramycin at the feed store (mixed in the water) and then a course of worming. The worms, according to Mike Johns, set up intestinal and liver problems and lower the immunity of the bird , so that secondary problems arise and the bird cannot digest food. People use antibiotics to treat the symptoms and never get to the cause, which continues to waste the bird. So, antibiotics will appear to fix the problems, but a worming must follow to really succeed. This is especially true of peafowl kept in cages."

Woodstock, 12 years old, ©photo by Bob Boess A male becomes fully feathered at 3 years old, but can mate earlier. He shuffles his feathers as he fans out so they are arranged nicely. Then he shakes them like an aspen tree at the nearest female, who usually ignores him, unless she's ready to mate. Sometimes he seems to spend time pointing his backside at the females, fluffy angora rump feathers swaying, maybe playing hard to get for the females? With all this display, it's ironic that we hardly ever see them mate. Pea Hen The hens usually lay 2-6 eggs in their 2nd - 3rd year, hiding the true nest in the woods in leaves or just plain dirt, but first laying eggs right in the open. She may lay several eggs, decoys, which just sit around, until she gets serious about it and lays a clutch or group and sits on them. She sits on the nest for 28 days, producing pea chicks which look like turkey poults (babies), yellow and brown."

"text": "Home »Trees Pear Trees for Florida By Misty Amber Brighton; Updated September 21, 2017Pear trees must have a period of dormancy and an accompanied chilling at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less in order to bear fruit. This time is known as chill hours and varies by species. Most of the varieties that grow in Florida need 200 hours or less of chill time. Because of this requirement, pear trees generally do not do well south of Orlando and are mostly grown in the northern region of the state. Baldwin Pear The Baldwin pear is best grown in northern Florida. These trees are hardy to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Baldwin pear is a tree that is resistant to fire blight. It produces blooms late in spring each year. The fruit of the Baldwin pear is a golden-yellow color with waxy skin. The shape of this fruit is slightly elongated."

It is a thicket-forming and heavy-bodied cactus with a definite cylindrical trunk, and may be erect to 3 1/2 feet, or prostrate. The joints are green to bluish green, obovate to orbicular, sometimes asymmetrical, to 11 inches, flat, waxy, juicy and bearing dense tufts of minute yellow to brown barbed glochids. The spines are usually translucent, yellow or creamy white, sometimes brown or black. Some forms are spineless. Bowl-shaped flowers appear in June and may be red or yellow fading to orange. A particular plant usually produces only one flower color. Its fruit (tuna) is variable in shape and size, ripening from July to September, red to purple with scattered tufts of glochids, a thin skin, thick rind and juicy pulp. Texas prickly pear has been used extensively for food: the tunas are eaten raw or processed into preserves, syrups and fermented juice, tuna cheese (queso al tuna) and a tea to cure gallstones."

Turbo-charge your anti-cellulite diet by regularly consuming pineapple. In addition to supplying plenty of vitamin C and a fair amount of potassium, pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of proteins. Bromelain also helps break down fibrin buildup in fine blood vessels, which has a beneficial effect on blood circulation to the skin. Be aware, however, that most of the bromelain in pineapple is in the stem which is not as tasty as the flesh but which is nevertheless edible.#12: Turnip Greens Turnip greens are the leaves of the turnip plant, an ancient vegetable that was first cultivated in the Near East about 4,000 years ago. They are extremely low in calories; yet, they are loaded with cellulite busting nutrients, including vitamin C and calcium.

"text": "CACTUSIntroduction A cactus (plural cacti or cactuses) is any member of the succulent plant family Cactaceae. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Edible cactus is also known as nopales, nopalitos or cactus pads. This vegetable is popular in Mexico and other Central American countries, parts of Europe, the Middle East, India, North Africa and Australia. Its popularity is increasing in the United States where it can be found at Mexican grocery stores, specialty produce markets and farmer’s markets. [ 1] Edible cactus is characterized by its fleshy oval leaves (typically called pads or paddles) of the nopal (prickly pear) cactus. [ 1] With a soft but crunchy texture that also becomes a bit sticky (not unlike okra) when cooked, edible cactus tastes similar to a slightly tart green bean, asparagus, or green pepper. [ 1] Cactus pads contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins, and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium. [ 1]Cactus leaves (edible cactus or nopales) and the prickly pear As part of the cactus plant, the prickly pear is a fruit that is 2 to 4 inches long and shaped like an avocado. Its skin is coarse and thick, not unlike an avocados and it ranges in color from yellow or orange to magenta or red."

"text": "\"The Benefits of Eating Fresh Apples and Pears for Diabetics By MAYS Latest Reply 5 years ago Started 5 years ago 7 Likes For nutritional reasons, we're often advised to consume the skins of fruits. However, it's less often that research provides strong evidence in support of this advice. Recent studies have shown that the skin of pears contains at least three to four times as many phenolic phytonutrients as the flesh. These phytonutrients include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory flavonoids, and potentially anti-cancer phytonutrients like cinnamic acids. The skin of the pear has also been show to contain about half of the pear's total dietary fiber. In recent studies measuring risk of type 2 diabetes in U. S. women, pears have earned very special recognition. Researchers now know that certain flavonoids in food can improve insulin sensitivity, and of special interest in this area have been three groups of flavonoids (flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins). All pears contain flavonoids falling within the first two groups, and red-skinned pears contain anthocyanins as well. Intake of these flavonoid groups has been associated with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes in both women and men. However, a new analysis of the Nurses' Health Study has shown that among all fruits and vegetables analyzed for their flavonoid content, the combination of apples/pears showed the most consistent ability to lower risk of type 2 diabetes."

Sources Betalains are nitrogen containing pigments found in a variety of foods that are reddish in hue, and occur in red plants that do not contain anthocyanin molecules as the red pigment (ie. beet root contains betalains, whereas strawberries contains anthocyanins such as pelargonidin for their reddish hue). [ 1] They are at times used for food coloration in products such as ice cream, candies, and processed meat [1] [2] and the quantity in these foods rarely exceeds 50mg/kg due to their strong pigment coloration [3] stronger even than red radish anthocyanins. [ 4] Betalains in general as a food colorant, since they almost exclusively come from beets, are usually referred to as 'beetroot red' and are considered a natural food colorant. [ 2]The majority of plants containing betalains are in the caryophyllales family with exception to the caryophyllaceae and molluginaceae genera, which accumulate anthocyanins for their red coloration. [ 5]Betalains are reddish-purple pigments that are found in some plants when anthocyanins are nor present as pigmentation Common dietary sources of betalains include: Beet root products ( Beta vulgaris subspecies vulgaris) [6] with the content in red beets ranging from 0.02-0.21% depending on cultivar [2] with the major red components being betanidin and betanin (as well as their isomers) while the major yellow components are vulgaxanthin I and vulgaxanthin II [7]Colored swiss chard ( Beta vulgaris subspecies cicla) [8]Amaranth ( Amaranthus genus) [9]Cactus fruits ( Opuntia and hylocereus genera) [10] [6] and pitahaya ( Hylocereus) [11]1.2.

It is versatile in style and sweetness and has the ability to adapt to a wide variety of tastes. We have lithe, dry summer whites and sparkling wines, ranging from Brut (dry) to Demi-Sec (aromatic and sweet), as well as oak-aged styles similar to Chardonnay. Thus, there is a Chenin Blanc wine for every occasion. This guide offers several tips on buying, drinking, and pairing Chenin Blanc like a pro. Chenin Blanc Wine Profile Pronunciation: “shen-nin blonk”Chenin Blanc Characteristics FRUIT: yellow apple, quince, pear, baked apple, bruised apple, passion fruit, lime, honeydew melon, peach, persimmon, mandarin orange OTHER: lemon verbena, ginger, honey, honeysuckle, jasmine, chamomile, saffron, apple blossom, coleslaw (oxidative styles), sake, cheese rind (oxidative styles), hay OAK: buttered popcorn, butterscotch, lemon curd, nutmeg, baked apple, graham cracker, meringue, marzipan, brioche ACIDITY: medium-plus to high acidity ABV: 12-14.5%MAJOR REGIONS: South Africa (over 50% of vineyards worldwide), France, United States, Argentina 87,000 acres / 32,500 hectares (2010)ALSO KNOWN AS: Vouvray, Steen, Quarts de Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Pineau de la Loire, Savennieres Chenin Blanc Has a Variety of Flavor Profiles As a white wine, Chenin Blanc has a wide range of flavors. Part of the reason for this has a lot to do with the winemaking style. Dry: When the grapes are fermented dry and kept fresh, they produce a very lean, minerally style Chenin Blanc that offers up flavors of tart pear, quince, ginger, and chamomile. Off-Dry: When some of the grapes’ natural sugars are left in the wine, you’ll taste richer flavors of ripe pear, ginger, jasmine, passion fruit, and honeycomb. Sweet: Sweeter styles of Chenin Blanc have flavors of dried persimmon, toasted almond, mango, ginger, and mandarin orange."

In the apple, the original ancestral species is obscured by so many cultivated variations throughout the centuries that some authors lump them all into one species, Malus domestica. They all originated in western Asia (or Eurasia) and are characterized by fleshy fruits called pomes. In the pome, a thick, fleshy hypanthium layer (also called the floral cup or calyx tube) surrounds (and is fused with) the seed-bearing ovary or core. The sepals, petals and stamens arise from the rim of the hypanthium. Since the ovary is situated below the attachment of the sepals, petals and stamens, it is termed \"\"inferior\"\" in technical plant taxonomy books. The fleshy hypanthium of a rose ( Rosa) surrounds a cluster of small one-seeded achenes. Since the achenes represent separate ripened ovaries all derived from a single flower, the entire structure (called a rose hip) can be considered an aggregate fruit or etaerio.

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

May 7th 2016Before reviewing the list of 10 healthy carbohydrate sources, you may be a little curious about what carbohydrates are exactly, and what carbohydrates do for your body. Here is a quick overview of some useful information about carbohydrates: They are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen to create a sugar molecule. The three most common forms of carbohydrates are sugars, fibers and starches. They are grouped into two categories: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are mainly made up of sugars like table sugar, fruit sugar or corn sugar. Complex carbohydrates are foods made up of three or more linked sugars like bran, potatoes, brown rice, peas and whole grain cereals. They are broken down and are turned into glucose to be used as a source of energy for cells. Often times, you'll hear about diets that completely eliminate carbohydrates, giving people the impression that carbohydrates are bad.

Many former Southerners have brought this tradition to other parts of the country. If this tradition is new to you, you may be wondering how it started, or what these foods symbolize. You also may want to know how to cook black-eyed peas and greens to begin your own tradition. From the history of the dish to ways to prepare the ingredients, here is some information to get you started. Ancient History of Black-Eyed Peas Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s has been considered good luck for at least 1,500 years. According to a portion of the Talmud written around 500 A. D., it was Jewish custom at the time to eat black-eyed peas in celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year (which occurs in Autumn). It is possible that the tradition arrived in America with Sephardic Jews, who first arrived in Georgia in the 1730s. According to common folklore, the tradition spread after the Civil War. During General Sherman's march, the Union Army pillaged the Confederates' food supplies but left the peas and pork believing they were food for the animals and not for human consumption."

Lentils have a mild, often earthy flavor, and they're best if cooked with assertive flavorings. The best, most delicate lentils are the peppery French green lentils. These hold their shape well, but take longer to cook than other lentils. The milder brown lentils also hold their shape after cooking, but can easily turn mushy if overcooked. Indian markets also carry a wide variety of split lentils, called dal. Before cooking, always rinse lentils and pick out stones and other debris. Unlike dried beans and peas, there's no need to soak them. Lentils cook more slowly if they're combined with salt or acidic ingredients, so add these last.

These plantings can also provide great areas to hunt during the upcoming archery and gun seasons. Out of curiosity I visited my local farm supply store last evening to see what various fall food plot mixes are being offered this year. Below is a picture of a relative small display of several food plot seed mixes at this store. All the mixes had a picture of a big buck on the bag along with a few catchy marketing phrases which seem designed to catch the attention of deer hunters and to conjure up all kinds of visions of hunting opportunities if the contents of the bag are planted. I found that most of the seed mixes had very little information to help me decide which seed mix would be best for my fall food plots and quite honestly, the number of different mixes added to the confusion. Some of the mixes are what I consider good late summer and fall mixes; while others I personally would not waste my money, time, and food plot space to plant them. The intent of this article is not to promote nor to condemn specific mixes or brands, but rather to provide some information to help you sort through the choices of all the various seed mixes and be able to make better informed purchases for your fall food plots. Focus on the Seed Tag The big buck picture and marketing claims on the front of the bag provide little to no information about the bag’s seed content. So instead look at the seed tag which will be stuck on the back side of the seed bag or stitched into the bottom seam of larger seed bags."

American currency, however, is nothing like the dark green hue of cooked collards and at no point have we used puny, white pea-sized balls as change. While some may still eat collards and peas for this reason to ring in the new year, the tradition dates hundreds of years back in American history and even further back across the Atlantic. Black-eyed peas were cultivated in Africa over 5,000 years ago, historian Jessica B. Harris explained in her New York Times op-ed, \"\"Prosperity Starts with a Pea,\"\" in December 2010. In the 1700s, black-eyed peas, exported during the transatlantic slave trade, were planted in the Carolinas and \"\"eaten by enslaved Africans and poorer whites,\"\" Harris wrote. And the foods eaten by slaves eventually moved their way up to the master's table, where black-eyed peas became a staple ingredient in the dish Hoppin' John, made with black-eyed peas, rice and pork. Who is John?"

Pin 18K Share 20 Stumble Tweet18KPeas are an easy vegetable to grow and even easier to enjoy. When considering growing peas you have many varieties to choose from, including snow peas, snap peas, and shell peas. No matter which variety you choose to grow, you will find that most require the same sort of care. If you wish to add peas to your garden this year, here are some helpful growing tips to get you started and assure you have a strong and healthy crop. First, let’s consider if you will be growing the peas from seed or using pre-started seedlings. Your fist step in a successful crop will depend on which method you are using. Both have their advantages, as growing peas from seed will cost less, but using seedlings means enjoying your crop quicker. Tips for Growing Peas in Your Garden How to start peas from seed: First, you want to soak your seeds in water for 24 hours prior to planting."

And there are dozens of types—each with a subtle difference in taste and texture. Types of Field Peas Speckled butter beans have a rich, creamy texture and earthy, nut-like flavor. When cooked, they lose their variegated color and turn pinkish brown. Crowders nestle so closely inside the pod that the ends of the peas begin to square off. Brown crowders are favored by many for their hearty flavor and rich, dark potlikker. Pink-eyed peas have a colorful purple hull and a lighter, less earthy taste than their black-eyed pea cousins.

"text": "As a cut of meat that is often used for seasoning purposes, ham hocks are a cut of pork that is found around the ankle joint of a pig. While not generally considered to be appropriate for serving as a main course, they pack a lot of flavor, which makes them an excellent additive to many types of vegetable-based dishes. Ham hocks are most often taken from the front section of the leg of the pig, in the general area of the ankle. The slice or portion of the meat is generally a semi-thick cut that is packaged in groups of two or three hocks. They may be purchased raw or fresh, as well as smoked and cured. Cured varieties have a relatively long shelf life, which makes them ideal for storage and use over a longer period of time. Perhaps the most common use of ham hocks has to do with seasoning cooked vegetables. In many parts of the United States, this part of the pig is used as a relatively inexpensive way to season various types of greens. Turnips, collards, kale and mustard greens are often slow cooked with one or two ham hocks tossed in for a little extra flavor. The pork contains just the right amount of salty accent to provide a pleasing taste with most greens, without the addition of any extra salt or other seasonings."

Vegetables, including legumes/beans are nutrient dense, low in kilojoules, and are a good source of minerals and vitamins (such as magnesium, vitamin C and folate), dietary fibre and a range of phytochemicals including carotenoids. What’s in the vegetables and legumes / beans group? There are many different types of vegetables grown and made available in Australia with a large variety of choice throughout the year. Vegetables come from many different parts of the plant, including the leaves, roots, tubers, flowers, stems, seeds and shoots. Legumes are the seeds of the plant and are eaten in their immature form as green peas and beans, and the mature form as dried peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas. Vegetables can be broken up into different groups, with each group providing their own unique nutrients. The main sub-groups for vegetables are: Dark green or cruciferous/brassica Broccoli, brussels sprouts, bok choy, cabbages, cauliflower, kale Lettuce, silverbeet, spinach, snow peas Root/tubular/bulb vegetables Potato, cassava, sweet potato, taro, carrots, beetroot, onions, shallots, garlic, bamboo shoots, swede, turnip Legumes/beans Red kidney beans, soybeans, lima beans, cannellini beans, chickpeas, lentils, split peas, tofu Other vegetables Tomato, celery, sprouts, zucchini, squash, avocado, capsicum, eggplant, mushrooms, cucumber, okra, pumpkin, green peas, green beans For a longer list of the different types of vegetables take a look at the Go for 2 & 5 Fruit and Vegetable information at www.gofor2and5.com.au."

Johann Gregor Mendel set the framework for genetics long before chromosomes or genes had been identified, at a time when meiosis was not well understood. Mendel selected a simple biological system and conducted methodical, quantitative analyses using large sample sizes. Because of Mendel’s work, the fundamental principles of heredity were revealed. We now know that genes, carried on chromosomes, are the basic functional units of heredity with the capability to be replicated, expressed, or mutated. Today, the postulates put forth by Mendel form the basis of classical, or Mendelian, genetics. Not all genes are transmitted from parents to offspring according to Mendelian genetics, but Mendel’s experiments serve as an excellent starting point for thinking about inheritance.

The island is comparable in size to Connecticut (in the United States) and is made up of coastal lowlands, a limestone plateau, and the Blue Mountains. Jamaica's size and varied terrain allow for a diversity of growing conditions that produce a wide variety of crops. The northeastern part of Jamaica is one of the wettest spots on Earth with more than 100 inches of annual rainfall. The island is also susceptible to hurricanes and suffered more than $300 million in damage when Hurricane Gilbert hit in 1988. The tropical climate of Jamaica (averaging around 80°F) and its miles of white beaches make it one of the most alluring islands in the Caribbean for tourists. Another popular attraction for vacationers is the island's more than 800 caves, many of which were home to the earliest inhabitants.2HISTORY AND FOODBefore Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica in 1492, the original inhabitants of the island were a Amerindian tribe called the Arawaks. They grew the spinach-like callaloo, papayas (which they called pawpaws), and guava. They also produced two crops each per year of maize (corn), potatoes, peanuts, peppers, and beans. The Arawaks roasted seafood and meat on a grate suspended on four-forked sticks called a barbacoa, which is the origin of Western barbecue."

"text": "Mendel’s Laws of Heredity Mendel formed the Laws of Heredity (the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment) from his pea plant experiments. Learning Objectives Discuss the methods Mendel utilized in his research that led to his success in understanding the process of inheritance Key Takeaways Key Points By crossing purple and white pea plants, Mendel found the offspring were purple rather than mixed, indicating one color was dominant over the other. Mendel’s Law of Segregation states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment states the inheritance of one pair of factors ( genes ) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair. If the two alleles are identical, the individual is called homozygous for the trait; if the two alleles are different, the individual is called heterozygous. Mendel cross-bred dihybrids and found that traits were inherited independently of each other. Key Termshomozygous: of an organism in which both copies of a given gene have the same alleleheterozygous: of an organism which has two different alleles of a given geneallele: one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome Introduction Mendelian inheritance (or Mendelian genetics or Mendelism) is a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent organisms to their children; it underlies much of genetics. The tenets were initially derived from the work of Gregor Mendel published in 1865 and 1866, which was “re-discovered” in 1900; they were initially very controversial, but they soon became the core of classical genetics. The laws of inheritance were derived by Gregor Mendel, a 19th century monk conducting hybridization experiments in garden peas ( Pisum sativum ). Between 1856 and 1863, he cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants."

Any variety of pea can be used for growing pea shoots. They taste like peas and are great tossed in salads, in sandwiches, or cooked by themselves or with other greens in stir fries. Though the research in regards to pea shoots remains low compared to that of the green pea itself, they provide exceptional nutritional value. Here are 6 health benefits of pea shoots: Cancer Prevention Pea shoots are a great source of three chemoprotective agents: folate, antioxidants and carotene. Folate helps produce and maintain cells and protects against DNA damage. Antioxidants help the body fight free radical damage, commonly associated with high cancer risk. Carotenes help inhibit antioxidant activity and are commonly associated with increased cancer prevention. High In Antioxidants One cup of pea shoots provides about 35% the daily value of vitamin C and 15% the DV of vitamin A. In comparison, this is seven times as much vitamin C as blueberries and four times as much vitamin A as tomatoes. They are also an excellent source of vitamin K, providing 66% the DV from a one cup serving."

Learning Objectives Describe the structure of a gene and how offspring inherit genes from each parent Key Takeaways Key Points A gene is a stretch of DNA that helps to control the development and function of all organs and working systems in the body. Genes are passed from parent to offspring; the combination of these genes affects all aspects of the human body, from eye and hair color to how well the liver can process toxins. A human will inherit 23 chromosomes from its mother and 23 from its father; together, these form 23 pairs of chromosomes that direct the inherited characteristics of the individual. If the two copies of a gene inherited from each parent are the same, that individual is said to be homozygous for the gene; if the two copies inherited from each parent are different, that individual is said to be heterozygous for the gene. Key Termsgene: a unit of heredity; the functional units of chromosomes that determine specific characteristics by coding for specific proteinschromosome: a structure in the cell nucleus that contains DNA, histone protein, and other structural proteinsgenetics: the branch of biology that deals with the transmission and variation of inherited characteristics, in particular chromosomes and DNAPairs of Unit Factors, or Genes Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F 2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring. A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body."

"text": "\"Difference Between Monocots and Dicots• Categorized under Nature | Difference Between Monocots and Dicots Image Credit : Peter Halasz Dicots vs Monocots There are quite a few differences which exist between monocots and dicots. The primary and most important difference is that monocots consist of seeds that are a single piece-an example of which is corn, while dicot seeds can be split into two, like in the case of peas. Another important difference is that while in monocots the flowers have petals in multiples of three, in the case of dicot these are in multiples of 4 or 5. As far as the leaves are concerned, monocots exhibit parallel veins while dicots have reticulated veins. There are many other features that distinguish the two. Take the case of the embryo for instance. As the name would suggest, and as one would imagine, an embryo in a monocot has a single cotyledon while the embryo with the dicot comes with two cotyledons. Then again in the case of monocots the pollen is with a single furrow or pore, whereas in the case of a dicot it is with three furrows or pores. In the case of monocots the stem vascular bundles are scattered whereas in the case of dicots these are in a ring. The roots happen to be what is referred to as adventitious in the case of monocots, while the roots develop from radical when it comes to the dicots."

They have strap-shaped leaves, stem vascular arrangement or vascular bundles, and look scattered when you cut the stem open. Most of the bundles are toward the stem periphery, not in the middle. If the flower parts are in multiples of four or five then they are dicots. The leaves have numerous auxiliary veins, which reticulate between major veins.

Monocot vs. Dicot Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. But, the differences start from the very beginning of the plant's life cycle: the seed. Within the seed lies the plant's embryo. Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two. This small difference at the very start of the plant's life cycle leads each plant to develop vast differences. Roots: Fibrous vs. taproot Once the embryo begins to grow its roots, another structural difference occurs. Monocots tend to have “fibrous roots” that web off in many directions."

"text": "Related Articles Difference Between Mountain Laurel & Rhododendrons How to Identify a Begonia What Is the Difference Between Split Pea & Sweet Pea? Comparison of Clementine and Satsuma Citrus Structural differences between grasses and trees are obvious even to someone who doesn't know much about botany. For centuries, though, botanists have been trying to nail down the specific traits that make the major types of flowering plants distinct from one another. It's been a difficult task, given that very few traits are consistently different from one group of plants to another group, but the differences in the seeds of monocots, dicots and eudicots are reliable defining characteristics. Monocots and Dicots Designed as a way to mark the difference between two major groups of plants, the classification of flowering plants as either monocots or dicots has been common practice since the 1600s. The characteristics that define the two types of plants lie in many parts of the plants' structure, including the flowers, leaves, stems, roots and pollen, but the names of the classifications come from the cotyledons, which are embryonic leaves that are part of the plants' seed structure. Eudicots The differences between monocots and dicots are not always clear, and a particular plant in one group may have some characteristics that are usually typical of plants in the other group. Most dicots, however, share a common pollen structure that differs from that of monocots and a minority of dicots; this large subgroup of dicots is called eudicots. A plant's pollen structure is what makes it a eudicot, but its seeds differ from those of monocots in the same way that the seeds of all dicots differ. Cotyledons Cotyledons are embryonic leaves that are part of the plant embryo residing within a seed; the cotyledons are attached to the embryo near the junction of the embryonic root and shoot."

Learning Objectives Explain how angiosperm diversity is classified Key Takeaways Key Points Angiosperm are flowering plants that are classified based on characteristics that include (but are not limited to) cotyledon structure, pollen grains, as well as flower and vascular tissue arrangement. Basal angiosperms, classified separately, contain features found in both monocots and dicots, as they are believed to have originated before the separation of these two main groups. Monocots contain a single cotyledon and have veins that run parallel to the length of their leaves; their flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry. Dicots have flowers arranged in whorls, two cotyledons, and a vein arrangement that forms networks within their leaves. Monocots do not contain any true woody tissue while dicots can be herbacious or woody and have vascular tissue that forms a ring in the stem. Key Termsdicot: a plant whose seedlings have two cotyledons; a dicotyledonangiosperm: a plant whose ovules are enclosed in an ovarymonocot: one of two major groups of flowering plants (or angiosperms) that are traditionally recognized; seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed-leaf)cotyledon: the leaf of the embryo of a seed-bearing plant; after germination it becomes the first leaves of the seedlingbasal angiosperm: the first flowering plants to diverge from the ancestral angiosperm, including a single species of shrub from New Caledonia, water lilies and some other aquatic plants, and woody aromatic plants Diversity of Angiosperms Angiosperms are classified in a single phylum: the Anthophyta. Modern angiosperms appear to be a monophyletic group, which means that they originated from a single ancestor. Flowering plants are divided into two major groups according to the structure of the cotyledons and pollen grains, among others. Monocots include grasses and lilies while eudicots or dicots form a polyphyletic group."

Peas Peas are members of the legume family, which also includes a wide variety of beans. One of the main distinctions between peas and beans is that peas tend to grow in vines that require support, whereas most beans grow in self-supporting bushes. Peas also favor cooler climates than beans do. Importance Apart from being important as a food source, peas and other members of the legume family are capable of taking nitrogen from the air and adding it to the soil. This ability, called nitrogen fixation, is an important part of agriculture because plants require nitrogen to grow. Crop Rotation Because other crops need nitrogen but cannot retrieve it from the air as legumes do, many farmers alternate crops to allow a member of a legume family to replenish a field's nitrogen content."

Source Legumes are an important part of a vegetarian diet, but because there is so much variation in the way they grow and are used, they can be challenging to identify. Basically, a legume is any plant that bears its fruit inside a pod. Learning what legumes are and how to identify them can give you a number of options for adding protein and variety to your meals. Types of Legumes All legumes consist of a seed and a pod. This pod usually has two halves, sometimes hinged, with a seed inside. Typically, people eat the seed portion of the legume, but they may also eat the pod. The best example of a legume is a green pea: it can be bought and eaten in its pod or removed from the pod before consumption. There are more than 18,000 different species of legume plants, each with its own characteristics, such as how its pods grow and how the plant flowers."

When fresh peas are unavailable, dried peas make a wonderful, slightly heartier and starchier alternative. Dried peas are ideal for soups and stews, as, when cooked, they quickly and easily melt down into a thick and creamy texture that adds satisfying body to any dish. There are few of us who have not found comfort in a steaming bowl of split pea soup at one time or another. Split peas are the dried, peeled, and most often split spherical seeds of the common pea plant, Pisum sativum. They can be purchased whole and un-split as well, though these take longer to cook. Peas are thought to have originated somewhere between the Middle East and Central Asia; and, until the 16th century, when more tender varieties were able to be cultivated, they were almost exclusively consumed by humans in their dried form. Just one cup of cooked split peas provides a full 65 percent of the Daily Value for fiber, making them, like all legumes, highly beneficial in blood sugar management and cholesterol control. Dried peas are also a good source of B vitamins ( folate and thiamin) and various minerals such as magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.

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

The common names of beans and peas are not consistent; other legumes popularly called “peas” are the butterfly pea ( Clitoria ternatea ), the chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ), pigeon peas ( Cajanus cajan ), and the winged pea ( Lotus tetragonolobus ). As legumes they are extremely nourishing vegetables, both to people and to the soil."

Groups: None Top By sillyfeline on Sun, 05-27-01, 05:51Split peas are a different legume from regular peas. Peanuts are a legume, too, but legume allergies occur independently. What a rude shock. I hope you are feeling better. Groups: None Top By booandbrimom on Sun, 05-27-01, 14:52My son had allergies to peanut, soy, split peas and milk from birth. He's also recently developed allergies to fish and cashews, and extended the bean allergy to the point that we just avoid all beans. At a food allergy conference I attended, Scott Sicherer indicated that only about 5% of people with peanut allergy also react to another legume."

"text": "Beans are Bad for Gout Beans, beans, the musical sprout . . . the more you eat, the more you have gout!Generally speaking, legumes — what we commonly call “beans” — fall in the moderate range for purine content. But some legumes have a higher purine content than others, a fact to consider when making decisions about a gout-prevention diet. To clarify, the term “legume” is applied to a wide variety of plants, including peas, beans, lentils, and peanuts. In the terminology of the gardening world, legumes are “nitrogen fixers” — they are able to absorb the atmospheric nitrogen that other plants cannot. This additional nitrogen leads to a higher protein content for legumes, but also purine levels high enough to be troublesome for gout sufferers. Legumes With High Purine Content High-purine foods are defined as those with greater than 150 milligrams (mg) of purines per 3.5 ounces (or 100 grams). Legumes in this category (with their purine levels noted) include:× Black-Eyed Peas (also called cowpeas) — 230 mg × Lentils — 222 mg × Great Northern Beans — 213 mg × Small White Beans — 202 mg × Soybeans — 198 mg × Split Peas — 195 mg × Pinto Beans — 171 mg × Red Beans (inc. kidney, small red, and adzuki beans) — 162 mg Legumes With Moderate Purine Content Moderate-purine foods have 50-150 mg of purines per 3.5 ounces (or 100 grams). Legumes in this category (with purine levels noted) include: Large Lima Beans — 149 mg Baby Lima Beans — 144 mg Fresh Bean Sprouts — 80 mg Fresh Green Peas — 84 mg Peanuts — 79 mg Cranberry Beans — 75 mg Garbanzo Beans — 56 mg. . ."

Easily the most famous of these legume allergies is peanut allergy. Peanut allergy can be very dangerous, deadly, and some 80% or more of people (often children) with an allergy to peanuts, will also test allergic to different kinds of pollen. Cross reactive with peanut allergy: Cross-reactivity occurs when the immune system mistakes a similar protein or chemical composition for an allergen, causing an adverse reaction. The immune system may react to foods or to pollen from plants in the same botanical family. Since peanuts are in the legume family, anyone with peanut allergy would be much more susceptible to pollen from peanuts or other legume plants. In the garden or landscape these would include: flowers of sweet peas, flowers from vines like wisteria, and from the pollen and flowers of shrubs and trees such as acacia, honeylocust, locust, catalpa, carob, mesquite, redbud, and jacaranda. None of these would be good choices for planting in the yards of anyone who had allergy to peanut…or for that matter, in the yard of anyone with any serious food allergies to any legumes. In addition, there is considerable food allergy cross-reactivity within the legumes themselves. Someone who is allergic to any legume food, be it peas, lentils, beans, peanuts, soy, etc."

Pinto acreage may be 8,100 acres, predominately in the Panhandle and South Texas, planted as a “catch crop” after young cotton is destroyed by hail or sand storms. Dry bean acreage is extremely variable due to weather, economics of other crops, and world prices since these commodities are easily stored and transported.

Definitions: Bean: the edible nutritious seed of various plants of the legume family, especially of the genus Phaseolus. Legume: any plant of the legume family, especially those used for feed, food, or as a soil-improving crop. Let’s start with the broader category of legumes. Legumes are of the Leguminosae family. They enclose their seeds inside their pods – these seeds are the food that we eat. When both the seed and the pod is consumed – as with green beans and snow peas – the legume is considered to be a vegetable. Under the legume umbrella we have beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts. Beans are usually oval or kidney shaped; lentils have a disk or lens shape; and peas have a spherical shape, and are generally considered to be vegetables. Peanuts of course, are more widely identified as nuts."

How Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria Improve Soil Fertility Photo by amberdc Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical elements for plants. If there is not enough nitrogen available in the soil plants look pale and their growth is stunted. Nitrogen fixing plants are called legumes.

They come in yellow, green and red colors. Green split peas offer many nutritional benefits, including being rich in protein and dietary fiber.

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

In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared any stock valued at under $5 and not traded on a national exchange to be a penny stock. In the UK it includes anything under the value of £1, and traded on the general market. Where have you heard about penny stocks?

For example, a fraud involving penny stocks was implicated in causing a $8bn crash on the Singapore stock exchange. What you need to know about penny stocks... Penny stocks can usually be bought, just like 'normal' stock, through your stock broker.

"text": "\"Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Penny Stock'A penny stock typically trades outside of the major market exchanges at a relatively low price and has a small market capitalization. These stocks are generally considered highly speculative and high risk because of their lack of liquidity, large bid-ask spreads, small capitalization and limited following and disclosure. They often trade over-the-counter through the OTC Bulletin Board ( OTCBB) and pink sheets. Next Up Pink Sheets Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ... Stock Market OTCQBBREAKING DOWN 'Penny Stock'The term penny stock has evolved with the market. In the past, penny stocks were stocks that traded for less than a dollar per share. The SEC, however, has modified the definition to include all shares trading below $5. Most penny stocks don’t trade on the major market exchanges. However, there are some large companies, based on market capitalization, that trade below $5 per share on the main exchanges like the Nasdaq. An example of a penny stock listed on the Nasdaq is Curis Inc. ( CRIS ), a small biotechnology company. That said, the typical penny stock is a small company with highly illiquid and speculative shares."

"text": "What to Do With Large Bid/Ask Spreads September 23, 2008 by Chris Fernandez There’s an insipid little game that goes on behind the scenes played by market makers that are trying their hardest to squeeze every last penny, and I do mean penny, out of your stock purchases and sales. In this article, I will be outlining some criteria for Bid/Ask spreads and what to look for to protect yourself from getting screwed by the market makers. Let’s Look at an Example Figure 1 below is an example of a real-time Level II quote screen for Authen Tec, albeit when the price was significantly higher than where it sits today. This example is to illustrate the bid/ask spread, with the BID price on the left, and the ASK price on the right. The BID Price: Essentially, the BID is the price at which a buyer or market maker is willing to buy a security. If you owned shares in a stock, say Authen Tec, and wanted to sell, it is the current price at which someone is willing to purchase your shares. You may not be happy with this price, especially for thinly traded Small-Cap and Micro-Cap stocks because a lot of times, these stocks are illiquid and market makers tend to create a huge discrepancy between the BID and ASK spread, so as to make more money from you. The ASK Price: Essentially, the ASK is the price at which a seller or market maker is willing to sell a security. If you wanted to buy shares in Authen Tec, this price would be the current price at which someone is willing to sell you their shares. Again, you might not be happy with this price, especially in lieu of the much lower BID price."

A stop order usually means that you are placing an order ahead of time that if your stock drops below a certain price, it will automatically be sold.

"text": "Five Penny Stocks that Captured the Attention of Billionaires Published on October 23, 2015 at 7:12 pm by Alexandr Oleinic in Page 1 of 4 Next >>Hedge funds aren’t the type of investors that regularly buy shares of penny stocks. However, on some occasions, they can identify opportunities in the segment of cheap stocks by looking a bit further than the crowd and noticing something that others might not see. However, most companies whose stocks trade in the penny stock space, are very small and investing in them is highly risky, which is why even if hedge funds buy a stake in one of these companies, they are hedging their risks. Also, due to the relatively small sizes of these positions, they can afford to lose some money on these bets, which may not be the case for retail investors. Nonetheless, we have identified five penny stocks with a lot of optimism among the elite hedge funds that we track. However, all of these stocks posted huge losses during the third quarter and we should warn you that we don’t know if these investors maintained their positions during that time, since the current round of 13F filings is still in progress. However, judging by the long-term focus of many of them, there is a chance that a majority of the funds that acquired shares will keep them until the stocks rebound. A safer way to emulate hedge fund activity is to follow them into their small-cap stocks. Even though these investors prefer large and mega-cap companies, they still allocate significant amounts of capital into the small-cap space. Our research determined that imitating hedge funds’ most popular picks among small-cap stocks can help generate much better returns than simply following them into their top picks."

When you own a dividend paying stock penny or otherwise you get paid to trade that stock!What do I mean by that? Well, if you buy a normal stock, it doesnt pay a dividend so your only chance to profit comes from selling the stock at a higher price. When a stock pays a dividend, every month, or every quarter, the company sends shareholders a check. Even if the stock hasnt budged one red cent you get paid!And collecting a check is always a good thing.

I had recently founded and owned most of an Internet video company, which was suddenly hot, hot, hot. The bitter cold February wind hit me hard as I walked out of the Wall Street subway station and on past the New York Stock Exchange and the many barriers around it, to navigate the winding narrow streets of the financial district to Delmonico’s, a fine dining steakhouse that’s been in business for more than 150 years. I was headed to my meeting about selling out my company with the chairman of some sort of financial mini-conglomerate, who I’d recently learned had served time in prison for a few years a couple decades back for some sort of financial fraud-like crime. He’d first contacted me a few months earlier, as he had become, yes, chairman of an Internet video company that traded OTC on pink sheets for $3 a share and had a nearly $100 million market cap but almost no sales and absolutely no earnings. I had recently raised money and launched a series of Internet video sites called Tube Revolution.com and he wanted to buy the company in exchange for about $2 million worth of stock. I’d raised money for the company at that level and while it meant an immediate exit strategy for me and my investors, there was a catch. The stock we’d get would be under a strict “lockup” period for two years. Meanwhile, the chairman, which owned about a large fraction of the outstanding OTC equity and other warrants and shares, and the company itself and other insiders would be free to sell as many shares as they wanted. I’d balked at the terms, and he’d invited me out to dinner for one last meeting to woo me and try to change my mind."

Buying stocks can be somewhat of a risky proposition. Even large, established companies' stock prices have a way of plunging when the market goes south. But buying an established company's stock is generally considered less risky than buying penny stocks. Though the appeal of investing in penny stocks lies in the potential to generate huge profits by identifying an eventual winner, many investors in penny stocks ultimately wind up getting burned. Penny stocks started out as those that traded for less than a dollar per share, but over time, the term has been modified to encompass all stocks that trade below $5 per share. Not only are the companies behind penny stocks typically speculative in nature, but their stocks also trade over the counter, which means they're not listed on a major public exchange. There are a number of risks associated with penny stocks that make many investors want to steer clear."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology How does the movement of tectonic plates effect the environment? Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: At the boundaries of tectonic plates you get a lot of emission of various gasses either from hydrothermal vents at mid-ocean ridges or from volcanoes near plate subduction zones. These gasses typically comprise things like sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide that can have big impacts on climate and ocean chemistry. Another major impact on the environment from plate tectonics is mountain building, such as when two plates collide to form large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas. Big mountain ranges can have huge affects on weather patterns and precipitation. The Asian monsoons are heavily influenced by the Himalayan plateau for example. Also, weathering of mountain ranges can alter the atmospheric and ocean composition due to the chemical processes involved. Finally, as plate tectonics causes the continents to shift position it will have a direct effect on ocean circulation and how heat is distributed around the planet, as well as those continents shifting to different latitudes and climate regimes. Buddh4 · 9 years ago3 0 Comment I think the previous answer is excellent. But I would also add that if you include the atmospheric and oceanic environment, there are even more effects......

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: For the purposes of drawing up annual statutory accounts, (Trading a/c - profit and loss a/c - balance sheet) monthly management accounts, work in progress has to be valued so that it can be entered on the balance sheet as an asset, and as reduction of costs in the trading a/c. Opening WIP brought forward from the previous year/period is shown as an addition to costs. I am taking the example of a manufacturing organisation that will, at the time of needing to establish its trading results, have partly manufactured (WIP) products in relation to which, costs will have been born and charged to the accounts, but no credit will have been taken for them because they haven't been invoiced/sold. There are rules as to which costs it is permissible to take into account in valuing WIP. Basically, direct labour, direct materials, variable overhead, and possibly, a portion of the expected profit. Its treatment in the accounts is similar to closing stock/inventory. I was once a financial accountant within a shipbuilding company, and therefore, WIP was a significant element. Obviously, it is impossible to give full treatment to this topic on yahoo, but you might want to come back with more precise questions regarding treatment of WIP in the type of organisation you are dealing with.

While it has many other names like ganja, weed, herb, Mary Jane, bud, kush, and pot – to name a few – both users and non-users can agree that it represents a lucrative market for producers and distributors. In fact, it is estimated that the marijuana business is a $100 billion industry, with medicinal revenues accounting for only a small fraction of this total. Currently 8 states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational use of marijuana and and 20 states have legalized the drug to be used for medicinal purposes. While most investors understand that a comprehensive legalization of marijuana would provide a boom to government tax revenues, it’s also likely that this would give a boost to some medical and tobacco companies. It is important to remember that it does not matter what your take is on ‘to toke or not to toke,’ as a good investor always considers the opportunities on the economic horizon, so to speak. Below are a few publicly traded companies that may see their stocks be pushed higher – no pun intended – if marijuana is made legal. Altria Group (MO) As the world’s largest cigarette and smokeless tobacco producer, Altria makes its profits by taking advantage of consumers’ vices. As legalization of recreational marijuana usage spreads, MO is in a prime position to capitalize on this new customer base. While many companies would have to develop methods to produce the drug, cigarette-makers like MO already have the machinery and management teams; they’d only need to change the active ingredient from tobacco to marijuana and voila."

"text": "Antoine Gara Forbes Staff Investing 6/15/2015 @ 10:42AM 10,361 views SEC Suspends Trading In Joymain International, Surging Penny Stock Behind A Billionaire On Paper The Securities and Exchange Commission said on Monday it has temporarily suspended trading in Joymain International Development Group, a thinly traded China-based company that’s seen its market capitalization grow in excess of $7 billion despite having virtually no business operations. In deciding to suspend the stock, the SEC cited unusual trading in Joymain’s stock, which trades on over-the-counter markets, in addition to concerns on the validity of its public filings, including information about the company’s operations and financial condition. “The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of JIDG because of recent, unusual and unexplained market activity raising concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly-available information, including information concerning Joymain’s financial condition and scope of operations,” the SEC said. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, assisted in the investigation, the SEC said in its press release. Last week, Forbes brought to light the odd trading activity in Joymain, its non-standard structure, and high levels of stock owned by insiders and related parties. Joymain’s rise began in March 2013, when Xijian Zhou a director at a Nanjing, China-based multi-level marketing firm paid $306,680 for an 82% controlling stake in a Nevada registered firm called Advento, Inc that had limited business operations. The company’s stock was then split 300-to-one in a reverse split, and renamed Joymain International Development Group, with a plan to develop healthcare related businesses. Within a matter of 27-months, Zhou’s shares were worth in excess of $5 billion on paper as a result of an inexplicable rise in the company’s stock. However, the penny stock’s surge on OTC markets, and an about 10,000% gain in 2015, likely is a result of illiquid trading and the extreme percentage of Joymain stock held by insiders and related parties. Prior to its suspension, Joymain traded just over 100,000 shares a day since April, despite having a public float of 330 million shares, 33% off its total 1.12 billion share count."

"text": "\"Sean Williams ( TMFUltra Long)Apr 25, 2015 at 2:04PMIt's not a matter of \"\"if\"\" the stock market is going to crash again -- it's a matter of \"\"when. \"\" Source: Flickr user Jedimentat44. Between 1997 and 2011 the Dow Jones Industrial Average, arguably the most followed stock market index in the world, fell in excess of 514 points in a single trading session 10 times. On a percentage basis this worked out to a loss of 4.6% on the low end to as much as 7.9% on the high end during the height of the financial crisis. Although the stock market has historically trended higher over the long run -- thus favoring the long-term investor -- corrections, even very rapid corrections known as crashes, are possible. What causes stock market crashes? Unfortunately, that's impossible to predict. We've witnessed the financial crisis and a terrorist attack play a role in pushing the market notably lower, but foreign pressures, rumors of the United States potentially losing its AAA credit rating, and weak economic data have all played their roles too. Honestly, there's just no way to predict with any accuracy where the next black swan event will come from. The worst stocks for a stock market crash But one thing is for certain: there are certain areas of the market that can be nightmarish for investors during a stock market crash."

These techniques can be used with most focal lengths but become more and more important with the longer and heavier lenses. The Basics Getting that first \"\"big gun\"\" lens can be an exciting time. You have finally arrived as a truly serious photographer and purchased a 400/f2.8, 500/f4, or 600/f4. You are pinching yourself that you went for the dedicated 1.4x or 2x teleconverter too. This is one serious investment and now you are feeling all set to mix it up with the big names in nature photography.

The material is deemed to have flashed when a large flame appears and instantaneously propagates itself over the surface of the specimen.

Brushes were used by man as early as the Paleolithic Period (began about 2,500,000 years ago) to apply pigment, as shown by the cave paintings of Altamira in Spain and the Périgord in France. In historical times the early Egyptians used brushes to create their elaborate tomb paintings, while the ancient Chinese employed the tip of a long-haired brush to make the many intricate characters of their writing, a practice continued in the Orient today.brush Various types of artist's brushes. Vinegartom The type of material used to make a brush and its design are dictated by the intended use. Hog bristles, for example, have long been used for paintbrushes and art brushes because such animal fibres are flexible and resilient and display an excellent capacity for holding paint. Each individual bristle has a broad, sturdy base and a tapered tip that splits into several fine filaments. The hair of other animals such as horses, oxen, squirrels, and badgers is used in certain kinds of household and toilet brushes, as are various types of plant fibres, the most important of which are piassava obtained from a Brazilian palm and palmyra bassine derived from the palmyra palm of Africa and Sri Lanka. Such plant fibres are converted into brush material by soaking, beating, and drying. Cotton fibres also can be used for brush bristles. They are treated with acetic acid followed by diffusion of the acetylated product in acetone."

For example, carry-on baggage — including most purses and laptop computers — is banned on all flights from Britain and on some flights from the U. S. to Britain. British Airways bans carry-on baggage from the U. S. to the U. K., but U. S. airlines do not. British authorities require passengers to taste baby formula or milk at checkpoints, but U.

Download demo project - 100 Kb Download source - 15.6 Kb Introduction We sometimes encounter situations in which we need to save a drawing to a bitmap or other image file formats. For example, if your program edits images by writing text over them or by allowing the user to draw shapes or objects over the images, you might find it convenient to manipulate the images and objects as a single drawing and then save the complete drawing to file. This article describes a simple way to save a drawing to a Windows bitmap file. Since the main point of this article is to show how to convert a drawing into an image file, the drawing part of the demo program is quite simple. It allows you to scribble free-hand shapes on a static control within a dialog box. When you are done with the drawing, you click the \"\"Save\"\" button, specify a path name, and then the program saves your entire scribbling to disk as a 24-bit Windows bitmap file. A professional application skinning platform we have developed and that is freely downloadable from here uses some variation of the technique presented in this article to create and edit sophisticated icon images with full alpha-channel transparency support for use in professional application skins. Using the code The demo program is a dialog-based MFC application. All the interesting action takes place in two classes -- the CDrawing2Bitmap Dlg class (declared in \"\" Drawing2Bitmap Dlg.h \"\" and implemented in \"\" Drawing2Bitmap Dlg.cpp \"\") is the dialog-based application's nerve center while the CPath class (declared in \"\" Path.h \"\" and implemented in \"\" Path.cpp \"\") represents a drawing segment."

"text": "\"Air Travel With Pets - Airline Pet Policies, Pet Friendly Jet Charters The Humane Society of the United States recommends that you do not transport your pet by air unless absolutely necessary. If you must transport your pet by air, your best option is to take your pet in the aircraft cabin with you. As long as your pet is a cat or small dog, some airlines will allow you to take the animal on board for an additional fee. Each airline decides if they will allow you to travel with your pet in the passenger cabin. If the airline does allow you to bring your pet into the cabin, your pet container is considered to be carry-on baggage and must be small enough to fit underneath the seat. To find out about this option, call the airline well in advance of your flight, because there are limits to the number of animals allowed in the cabin area. Another option available for pet owners is flying with your pet on a chartered plane. Many charter services allow animals, regardless of size, to fly in the cabin as passengers close to their owners. Visit your veterinarian to be sure your pet is fit to fly Just about every airline in the world requires documentation from a veterinarian that your pet is in good health before it can board a flight. A veterinarian's checkup should include a general physical examination to check for signs of illness, like coughing or diarrhea."

The overall score was also lowered from 7.8 to 7.7. Its star rating is unaffected. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an 8-inch tablet that costs $399. In a world where the 7-inch Nexus 7 exists for $200 and even the 7.9-inch i Pad Mini starts at $330 or lower, $399 is a tough sell. If you're looking for a simple small tablet, the Nexus 7 is still your best bet and the i Pad Mini provides Apple's still unbeatable app ecosystem in a smaller, lighter, and cheaper package than the Note 8. The Note 8 is arguably Samsung's best tablet yet, but depending on your experience with the company's offerings, the weight of such an acknowledgement will vary dramatically. If you're a stylus devotee that liked what you saw in the Note 10.1, you'll be happy to know that thanks to some software upgrades, the Note 8 integrates the stylus, or S Pen, in a smaller package with fewer seams and a more impressive screen. Still, if you're not an artist and have no interest in coming near a stylus anytime soon, go for one of the many cheaper options. At $300, this would be an easy recommendation; however, the $400 price means you'll have to decide for yourself if the inclusion of the stylus and its integration into the OS is worth it to you.8The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 gets in tune with nature (pictures)Design Like the i Pad Mini, the Note 8's larger-than-typical screen necessitates a wider body -- by about an inch -- than, say, the Nexus 7."

SUMMARYConnecticut ' s income tax excludes (1) 75% or 100% of federally taxable Social Security income, depending on the taxpayer ' s federal adjusted gross income (AGI); (2) 100% of railroad retirement benefits; and (3) starting with the 2008 tax year, 50% of federally taxable military retirement benefits. Connecticut has no exemptions for other types of pension income. According to a 2007 survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), of the 41 states with personal income taxes, all but four (Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Vermont) have at least one state income tax exemption for some pension and retirement income. The most common exemptions are for Social Security and military pensions. Many states exempt federal, state, and local government pensions (often with limitations) and 23 states exempt some private pension income. Alabama, Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania exempt virtually all pension income from their state income taxes. CONNECTICUT TAX ON PENSION INCOMEExcept for Social Security, railroad retirement, and military retirement benefits, Connecticut ' s state income tax treats income from public and private pensions the same as any other income. The state has no other special exemptions for pension income. Social Security and Railroad Retirement Most Social Security and all railroad retirement benefits are exempt from the Connecticut income tax."

"text": "\"by Michelle Mc Gagh on Apr 02, 2012 at 00:01Taxpayers in Britain give away £2.45 billion to the taxman each year by failing to claim all the pension tax relief to which they are entitled. Everyone who pays into a pension – either through their employer or personally – is entitled to tax relief on contributions, essentially free money from the government to encourage you to save more for your retirement. It is estimated that 250,000 higher-rate taxpayers do not claim back all of their relief because they mistakenly believe they receive it automatically. But this isn't always the case – in many cases you must claim it. Unfortunately, you don’t get the money in your pocket. Instead, the government tops up your pension pot so you have more money in retirement. How much do I get? The amount of tax relief you get on your pension contributions depends on the top rate of income tax you pay. Basic-rate taxpayers (who pay 20% income tax) automatically receive 20% tax relief on all contributions. The money gets paid into their pensions automatically, whether it is operated by their employer or if it is a personal pension."

You may also search for tax information by choosing one of these three sections: Alabama-Iowa, Kansas-New Mexico, New York-Wyoming Many people planning to retire use the presence or absence of a state income tax as a litmus test for a retirement destination. This is a serious miscalculation since higher sales and property taxes can more than offset the lack of a state income tax. The lack of a state income tax doesn’t necessarily ensure a low total tax burden. States raise revenue in many ways including sales taxes, excise taxes, license taxes, income taxes, intangible taxes, property taxes, estate taxes and inheritance taxes. Depending on where you live, you may end up paying all of them or just a few. This section of our Web site provides you with information on state income taxes, sales and fuel taxes, taxes on retirement income, property taxes and inheritance and estate taxes, as well as sales and fuel taxes.

Not all types of income are taxable. For more information about which kinds of income are taxable, see Taxable and non-taxable income. You won't usually have to pay tax on all your income, even if it is all taxable, because you will be entitled to a certain amount of income tax free in each tax year. The tax year runs from 6 April one year to 5 April the following year. There is no minimum age at which you become liable to pay income tax. What matters is the amount of your taxable income. If this is below a certain level, no tax is payable. How income tax is calculated To calculate roughly how much income tax is payable for a particular tax year, use the following steps. The income tax rules are complex so this will not necessarily give you the precise answer in every case: Step 1 Add together all your taxable income, before tax, from all sources, including employed earnings and self-employed profits, taxable social security benefits, income from renting out accommodation, pensions and interest from bank and building society accounts, for the year."

"text": "\"Research Notes & Special Studies by the Historian's Office Research Note #12: Taxation of Social Security Benefits Background Since a pair of 1938 Treasury Department Tax Rulings, and another in 1941, Social Security benefits have been explicitly excluded from federal income taxation. ( A revision was issued in 1970, but it made no changes in the existing policy.) This changed for the first time with the passage of the 1983 Amendments to the Social Security Act. Beginning in 1984, a portion of Social Security benefits have been subject to federal income taxes. The three Treasury Rulings (see below) established as tax policy the principle that Social Security benefits were not subject to federal income taxes. This was special treatment for Social Security benefits since most private pensions are partly taxable. In most private pensions, an amount of the pension equal to the contributions made by the worker are tax-free. The amount of such private pensions which exceeds the amount of the worker's contributions, is usually subject to federal income taxes. A slightly different, and more complicated, way of saying essentially the same thing is that the portion of pension benefits not subject to taxation is that on \"\"after-tax income.\"\" For a worker, his entire pay is subject to federal income taxes, including that part that is subject to Social Security payroll taxes, and so, in the sometimes confusing parlance of tax policy, this is said to all be \"\"after-tax income.\"\""

For them, this often involves finding a state that doesn’t tax military retirement pay, or else offers a generous exemption. In the lists below, you’ll find a breakdown of how military retirement pay is treated by the tax codes of the various states. In those states not included, military retirement pay is fully taxable. States with No Income Tax At the top of the list are the nine states that have no state income tax at all. By default, military retirement pay is completely exempt from tax. These states are: Alaska Florida Nevada New Hampshire South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington Wyoming Note: New Hampshire and Tennessee both tax interest and dividends. For most taxpayers, however, this would constitute a relatively small portion of total income.

In determining the amount deductible in such year under the foregoing limitations the funding method and the actuarial assumptions used shall be those used for such year under section 431, and the maximum amount deductible for such year shall be an amount equal to the full funding limitation for such year determined under section 431. ( B) Special rule in case of certain amendments In the case of a multiemployer plan which the Secretary of Labor finds to be collectively bargained which makes an election under this subparagraph (in such manner and at such time as may be provided under regulations prescribed by the Secretary), if the full funding limitation determined under section 431 (c) (6) for such year is zero, if as a result of any plan amendment applying to such plan year, the amount determined under section 431 (c) (6) (A) (ii) exceeds the amount determined under section 431 (c) (6) (A) (i), and if the funding method and the actuarial assumptions used are those used for such year under section 431, the maximum amount deductible in such year under the limitations of this paragraph shall be an amount equal to the lesser of— (i) the full funding limitation for such year determined by applying section 431 (c) (6) but increasing the amount referred to in subparagraph (A) thereof by the decrease in the present value of all unamortized liabilities resulting from such amendment, or (ii) the normal cost under the plan reduced by the amount necessary to amortize in equal annual installments over 10 years (until fully amortized) the decrease described in clause (i). In the case of any election under this subparagraph, the amount deductible under the limitations of this paragraph with respect to any of the plan years following the plan year for which such election was made shall be determined as provided under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Secretary to carry out the purposes of this subparagraph. ( C) Certain collectively-bargained plans In the case of a plan which the Secretary of Labor finds to be collectively bargained, established or maintained by an employer doing business in not less than 40 States and engaged in the trade or business of furnishing or selling services described in section 168 (i) (10) (C), with respect to which the rates have been established or approved by a State or political subdivision thereof, by any agency or instrumentality of the United States, or by a public service or public utility commission or other similar body of any State or political subdivision thereof, and in the case of any employer which is a member of a controlled group with such employer, subparagraph (B) shall be applied by substituting for the words “plan amendment” the words “plan amendment or increase in benefits payable under title II of the Social Security Act”. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the term “ controlled group ” has the meaning provided by section 1563 (a), determined without regard to section 1563 (a) (4) and (e) (3) (C). ( D) Amount determined on basis of unfunded current liability In the case of a defined benefit plan which is a multiemployer plan, except as provided in regulations, the maximum amount deductible under the limitations of this paragraph shall not be less than the excess (if any) of— (i) 140 percent of the current liability of the plan determined under section 431 (c) (6) (D), over (ii) the value of the plan ’s assets determined under section 431 (c) (2). ( E) Carryover Any amount paid in a taxable year in excess of the amount deductible in such year under the foregoing limitations shall be deductible in the succeeding taxable years in order of time to the extent of the difference between the amount paid and deductible in each such succeeding year and the maximum amount deductible for such year under the foregoing limitations. ( 2) Employees’ annuities In the taxable year when paid, in an amount determined in accordance with paragraph (1), if the contributions are paid toward the purchase of retirement annuities, or retirement annuities and medical benefits as described in section 401 (h), and such purchase is part of a plan which meets the requirements of section 401 (a) (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), [1] (19), (20), (22), (26), (27), (31), and (37) and, if applicable, the requirements of section 401 (a) (10) and of section 401 (d), and if refunds of premiums, if any, are applied within the current taxable year or next succeeding taxable year toward the purchase of such retirement annuities, or such retirement annuities and medical benefits. ( 3) Stock bonus and profit-sharing trusts (A) Limits on deductible contributions (i) In general In the taxable year when paid, if the contributions are paid into a stock bonus or profit-sharing trust, and if such taxable year ends within or with a taxable year of the trust with respect to which the trust is exempt under section 501 (a), in an amount not in excess of the greater of— (I) 25 percent of the compensation otherwise paid or accrued during the taxable year to the beneficiaries under the stock bonus or profit-sharing plan, or (II) the amount such employer is required to contribute to such trust under section 401 (k) (11) for such year.

"text": "The State Tax Rundown on Retirement Benefits: Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting (TAA) Analyzes Updates for 2015 (RIVERWOODS, IL, January 2015) — Nicer weather and more sunshine may be a couple of big factors on picking a place to retire, but state or local tax rates on retirement benefits can also play a big role in how much you may save after calling it a career. Pre-retirement planning homework on state income tax rates and other financial factors are significant steps in making such a major decision. Specific taxes retirees and those looking to retire soon may consider include: State taxes on retirement benefits State income tax rates State and local sales tax State and local property taxes State estate taxes Taxability of Retirement Benefits Varies State to State Seven states do not tax individual income — retirement or otherwise: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Two other states — New Hampshire and Tennessee — impose income taxes only on dividends and interest (5 percent for New Hampshire and 6 percent for Tennessee for 2014 and remain the same in 2015). In the other 41 states and the District of Columbia, tax treatment of retirement benefits varies widely. For example, some states exempt all pension income or all Social Security income. Other states provide only partial exemption or credits and some tax all retirement income. States exempting pension income entirely for qualified individuals are Illinois, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. States exempting a portion of pension income include: Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. States generally taxing pension income include: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia."

Sheedy, Editor From Kiplinger's Retirement Report, October 2014Tax planning is a cornerstone of retirement planning. But by focusing on Uncle Sam, many retirees overlook the state-tax bite. States vary across the map on how they tax everything from retirement income to retail purchases. If you're thinking of relocating, be sure to know how potential retirement destinations compare with your current state when it comes to taxes. See Also: Retiree Tax Map Here we look at three primary categories: state tax treatment of pensions and retirement income, Social Security, and estates and inheritances. Other categories to consider are sales taxes and property taxes. You can get more information on all of these taxes by going online to Kiplinger's updated Retiree Tax Map.

"text": "\"Pension Taxes and Retirement Checks - Are Pension Checks Taxable?written by: Patricia Tokar, CPA•edited by: Laurie Patsalides•updated: 7/30/2010Planning for the types of taxes that are paid for a retirement check or a pension check is an important part of budgeting for retirement. While most taxes paid for a retirement check are straightforward, there is a hidden tax that might hit you hard, so read on to learn how to dodge it Types of Retirement Checks The types of taxes that are paid for a retirement check will depend on what type of retirement check or pension check you are receiving. Here are some of the common types of retirement checks and pension checks that may be taxable:* Regular pension or 401 (k)* Regular pension or 403 (b) from a government-type employer* Social Security or Social Security Equivalent of Rail Road Retirement Benefits (RRB)* Individual Retirement Account (IRA, ROTH IRA, SIMPLE IRA)* Other types of retirement income, such as an annuity, a Keogh Plan, or an unqualified employer plan Federal Income Taxes Paid For a Retirement Check Your retirement check is subject to income taxes, but it is not subject to social security taxes, medicare tax withholding, or unemployment taxes. Virtually all retirement checks are classified as ordinary income. Retirement checks in general are not capital gain income. There are some circumstances where some of your check might be classified as capital gain income. This applies mostly to those born before 1936 and taking their retirement benefits in a lump-sum distribution. How Much of Your Pension Check is Taxable Just because all of your retirement check is subject to income taxes does not mean it is all taxable. If you contributed any of your own funds on a post-tax basis to your own retirement fund, such as an IRA, or to your employer's pension fund, or 401 (k) fund, then a proportionate portion will be withdrawn tax free, even if you are making an early withdrawal. In general, you will compare your after-tax contributions to the total value of your retirement fund and calculate a percentage."

This report updates the following reports on this topic: 2004-R-0219 and 2008-R-0413. SUMMARYConnecticut ' s income tax excludes (1) 75% or 100% of federally taxable Social Security income, depending on the taxpayer ' s federal adjusted gross income (AGI); (2) 100% of railroad retirement benefits; and (3) 50% of federally taxable military retirement benefits. Connecticut has no exemptions for other types of pension income. According to a 2009 survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), of the 41 states with personal income taxes, all but four (Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Vermont) have at least one state income tax exemption for some pension and retirement income. The most common exemptions are for Social Security and military pensions. Many states exempt federal, state, and local government pensions (often with limitations) and 24 states exempt some private pension income. Alabama, Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania exempt virtually all pension income from their state income taxes. CONNECTICUT TAX ON PENSION INCOMEExcept for Social Security, railroad retirement, and military retirement benefits, Connecticut ' s state income tax treats income from public and private pensions the same as any other income. The state has no other special exemptions for pension income."

But the most tax-friendly state for you and your household will depend on your sources of income and how states tax that income, be it Social Security, earned income, a traditional defined benefit pension plan, income from assets in IRAs, Roth IRAs and taxable investment accounts, or some other type of income. What’s more, you’ll have to determine how state and local sales tax (especially if plan on being a big spender in retirement), state and local property taxes (some state and local governments offer exemptions), and state estate taxes affect your family finances as well. “You want to look at the big picture,” Rocky Mengle, a senior state tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer.

State taxes are increasingly important to everyone, but retirees have extra cause for concern since their income may be fixed. Select your state from the map below to see the related tax information. You may also search for tax information by choosing one of these three sections: Alabama-Iowa, Kansas-New Mexico, New York-Wyoming Many people planning to retire use the presence or absence of a state income tax as a litmus test for a retirement destination. This is a serious miscalculation since higher sales and property taxes can more than offset the lack of a state income tax. The lack of a state income tax doesn’t necessarily ensure a low total tax burden. States raise revenue in many ways including sales taxes, excise taxes, license taxes, income taxes, intangible taxes, property taxes, estate taxes and inheritance taxes. Depending on where you live, you may end up paying all of them or just a few. This section of our Web site provides you with information on state income taxes, sales and fuel taxes, taxes on retirement income, property taxes and inheritance and estate taxes, as well as sales and fuel taxes.

These states are: Alaska Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington Wyoming Florida (Has no personal income taxes, but does impose taxes on the value of certain business assets)Two other states, New Hampshire and Tennessee, tax only dividend and interest income. There are no state income taxes on wages or self-employment income. Consideration 2: Moving expenses If your employer is moving you from state to state and paying for your moving expenses, some of your reimbursed moving expenses could be tax-free, but some might appear on your Form W-2 as part of your taxable income. Consideration 3: Renting property in the state you leave Even if you establish permanent residency in the new state, if you rent out your house in your old state, you will most likely have to file an income tax return in your old state to report your income and expenses. If you make a net profit renting your house, you will most likely have to report your rental income and expenses on both your old state and your new state income tax returns. However, your new state will most likely allow you a credit for the taxes you pay to your old state because of the rental property income."

With the right structure, and usually with expert advice, many Australians retiring early can end up paying no tax. If you’re willing to wait until you turn 60 before you retire, you can automatically receive your super benefits tax-free (unless you’re a member of certain public sector super schemes – see table later in the article). Since 1 July 2017, many of the super tax rules changed, and the tables below explain the tax rules for under-60s for the 2017/2018 year (and also for the 2016/2017 year). Note: For a summary of the tax treatment of super after you turn 60, see Super Guide article Tax-free super for over-60s, except for some. Important: The most common way to access super benefits earlier than age 65, is to reach your preservation age and then retire. If you were born before July 1960, then your preservation age is 55 years. Preservation age increased to at least 56 years for Australians born on or after 1 July 1960, and increased to at least 57 years for Australians born on or after 1 July 1961, and can be up to 60 years, depending on date of birth.

"text": "Most investors know that withdrawals from traditional individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred retirement plans are generally taxable on the federal level. But unless they live in one of the seven states without a state income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington state and Wyoming), they may assume they will also be taxed on the state level. Happily, that isn’t always the case. Some states don’t tax retirement-account withdrawals at all, and others exempt a portion from taxation, sometimes only for retirees above a certain age or with income below certain thresholds. It generally depends on the state you live in when you take the distributions, but it can get confusing. “It’s quite a mishmash out there,” says Jeffrey Levine, a CPA specializing in IRA taxation at Ed Slott & Co. “You have to keep careful records, and it’s important to understand the rules of the state you’re in. ”Read related column: Most tax-friendly states for retirees. Here are some things you need to know, even if you’re years away from retirement. When are federally taxable withdrawals not subject to state tax? Unlike the U. S. tax code, which allows many taxpayers to deduct IRA contributions up to a certain amount, some states don’t allow those deductions on state tax returns."

"text": "\"Deer-resistant perennials and bulbs First: the caveat. With the possible exception of spiny Barberries ( Berberis) there are no absolutely deer-proof plants. If the herd is large enough, and food is scarce enough, deer have been known to eat almost anything. That said, there are some plants that are much less palatable to deer. If you have a problem in your neighborhood, it's probably a good idea to draw heavily from this list of perennials that are rarely browsed. If you can't live without certain plants that are candy to deer, you can plant them in an enclosed area, or use repellents in that bed, to try to minimize the damage. Although it's the curse of gardeners that we crave what we can't grow (folks in Florida long for Lilacs, New Englanders for Agapanthus), it is possible to create a lovely garden using Deer-Resistant Plants & Bulbs . It's a challenge, but not an impossibility. Deer-Resistant Plants & Bulbs tend to share certain characteristics: fuzzy or wooly leaves; pungent-scented foliage (Catmints, Mints, Lavenders, Agastache, Salvias, etc) and/or foul taste (even poisonous). Spines, thorns, and prickles protect some plants, such as Barberry, but we've heard from customers who've lost even Rugosa Roses to browsing—hard to believe for anyone who's ever tried to prune a Rugosa without drawing blood, but true."

Types of Poppies Papaver paeoniflorum, a member of the poppy family, is commonly called peony poppy. It is related to opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), which yields edible seeds and an oil used to make soaps and pharmaceuticals. Peony poppy grows as an annual ornamental plant in temperate climates. Overview As a relative of the species of poppy from which opium is produced, the plant is sometimes erroneously referred to opium poppy or listed in reference materials as Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum. While growing peony poppy is legal in the U. S., where many nurseries sell seedlings and seeds, be aware that due to import restrictions on shipments of “poppy straw” by the U. S. Department of Justice, the plant cannot be shipped from companies outside the country. Description Peony poppy is also sometimes called double garden poppy because it produces large, double blooms that typically span 4 to 5 inches across. The plant reaches an average of height of 2 to 3 feet."

Germination occurs when the seed receives enough moisture and heat to grow roots and stems. The seed stem produces shoots and blades, and the roots keep the plant anchored while absorbing nutrients. There are different germination times based on the type of grass. Continue Reading Keep Learning Is Honeysuckle Poisonous to Dogs? What Are Some Deer-Resistant Shade Plants?

Following are lists of plants deer and rabbits tend to avoid. I have planted some of these plants along the perimiter of my gardens, with decent success at deterring both deer and rabbits. Russian Sage, one of my favorite plants disliked by deer, also makes a great backdrop when planted en-mass.

"text": "\"Deer Resistant Plants (Shrubs & Trees) and Flowers ( Annuals & Perennials)Making your Landscape Deer Resistant Have you ever felt that some landscapes are a buffet for deer? You've probably also noticed that deer like to eat some plants more than others. But why and which ones? In this article is a list of d eer resistant plants, flowers, shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, as well as give some tips on how to send the deer somewhere else (after all, they are still going to eat, just hopefully not your dream garden! ) Same Night, Same Deer The chances are very very good that the same deer are visiting your landscape each and every night. These same deer will continue to eat the plants they like the best, until they are gone, or grow back. Once the preferred choice is gone, they are going to start trying the other plants around your landscape. ( Kinda like our own pantries)It all Starts with the Babies The baby deer, fawns, are actually trained by their mothers to which plants are preferred plants. If you can use deer deterrents at just the right time, you may be able to send the fawns to enjoy the garden down the street, and like it for years to come, breaking generations of deer returning to your landscape. Deer Resistant Chemicals and when to apply: Sprays: Deer Off, Liquid Fence, No Deer Zone, and Imustgarden Deer Repellent are all very good choices."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers List of Hardy Plants By Ann White; Updated September 21, 2017Hardy plants are those classified as plants with the ability to survive a frost. Hardy varieties are available in annuals and perennials, the latter of which need less maintenance and fertilization for a gardener. Hardy plants thrive in warm summer weather and must be carefully maintained if placed in smaller flowerbeds, as they will easily outgrow their living space. Calendula Not only hardy, but also drought and heat resistant, calendula are a lovely addition to large gardens. Calendulas flower quickly and produce an excellent blossom yield with minimal work. The flowers can be harvested and dried for medicinal use in the treatment of various skin conditions including eczema. Calendula will spread quickly, so it is important to maintain excellent care in ensuring controlled growth. Chrysanthemum Native to China and Japan, this hardy plant combines the DNA of marguerites, mums and daises. This plant will produce blooms of any color except blue. Chrysanthemum received its name from the Greek term for \"\"golden flower.\"\""

Source While choosing deer resistant perennials isn't foolproof, it can discourage deer from snacking on your flower garden. In rural and suburban areas, deer are a major pest in the garden. A hungry deer can decimate the garden overnight, eating shrubs and flowers down to stubs. By choosing unpalatable plants, deer move on to dine elsewhere. Choices for Deer Resistant Perennials No plant is truly \"\"deer proof.\"\" Hungry deer have been known to eat shrubs and the bark off of trees. But some plants don't taste very good to deer.

"text": "Deer Resistant Plants Gain Better Control with Plant Selection It’s wise to rely on deer repellent as little as possible. There are many plants that deer don’t usually find tasty. We refer to these are known as deer resistant plants, which for the most part are generally passed by. The more of these you have growing, the less spraying you should have to do. As a general rule of thumb, deer will not be attracted to certain groups of plants:fuzzy leavespungent smellslots of hard, sharp thorns Planting Deer Resistant Plants Does Help Deer in different areas seem to be attracted to different plants. This could be due to a sudden shortage of food caused by bad weather. It could also be caused by the different plants available in the wild the deer are accustomed to eating, which will vary from place to place. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a deer proof garden or landscape without a really tall fence, or an electric fence. Just like any starving creature, if the deer are hungry enough – they will eat anything that isn’t poisonous to them. Fawns Are Adventurous This year’s youngsters will take a bite of many plants, and spit it out if it doesn’t taste good."

"text": "\"Left handers may be more prone to accidents Left-handed and right-handed people view the world differently, scientists have shown. Psychologists found they use opposite sides of their brains when looking at, and making sense of, an image. It is already known that handedness is associated with differences in the way we make sense of language, and possibly in spatial orientation. Details of the study, by the University of Birmingham, are published in Nature Neuroscience. Not only our language function, but even the way we see the world can depend on our handedness Professor Glyn Humphreys The researchers showed right-handed people use the right hemisphere of their brain to focus on the whole of an image - for example a forest. But when it comes to focusing on the detail within an image - for instance individual trees in a forest - then they use their left hemisphere. For left-handers the opposite is true. Disrupted activity The researchers used a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which momentarily disrupts brain activity. The researchers applied TMS over either the left or right parietal lobe at the back of the brain while volunteers concentrated on the details of a visual stimulus. Stimulation of the left side of the brain made it harder for right-handers to attend to detail, whilst stimulation of the right side had this effect on left-handers."

"text": "Z4 Buyers Guide This guide is the most detailed and accurate I have ever come across, I have searched the net, spoke to experts and written the definitive guide to the Z4 for a potential purchaser. About the car and its history Great to drive, fast and beautifully built, the Z4 was offered with a selection of strong engines and a choice of coupe or roadster body styles. While there are cheaper sports cars out there, none offers the range of talents available from the Z4 – although Porsche’s Boxster is arguably a better all-rounder. However, the BMW is more affordable to buy and run and more practical too. BMW dealers are also among the best around, so while you pay for the privilege of running a Z4, few cars are as satisfying to own. We Like We Don’t Like Dynamics High purchase costs Build quality Marmite styling Ergonomics One of the most sensible choices in the Z4 is the 2.2i, which still gets you to 60mph in 7.7 seconds and yet costs less to fuel and insure than the bigger sixes. It’s not exactly in the Boxster camp though and in this respect the 3.0 is the one to have. With 231bhp on tap, it rockets the 1,365kg Z4 to 62mph in 5.9 seconds compared to 6.9 seconds for the Boxster 2.5. The running gear for the Z4 was lifted pretty much wholesale from the E46 3-Series and this brings both good and bad news. The good news is that the M54 engines are really very reliable, the only issues generally being individual components like coil packs or camshaft sensors."

And along comes a scientific study from a reputable independent organization that concludes that you’re safer in an SUV than a passenger car. Nuts. You remember that debate, don’t you? Back before carbon dioxide was a planet killer, before hurricane Katrina sent the price of gas soaring, before the Iraq war got old, the anti-SUV crowd focused their attention on safety. They highlighted the “us vs. them” SUV vs. car death match, where the guy with the morally indefensible vehicle won the right to play again. Which was unfair but true. And still is. Last Thursday, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released the results of a study examining death rates for drivers of 2001 to 2004 model year vehicles involved in crashes from 2002 through 2005. The results were rated by deaths per million vehicle years (DMVY)."

Hogan is notable for his profound influence on golf swing theory and his legendary ball-striking ability. His nine career professional major championships tie him with Gary Player for fourth all-time, trailing only Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (14) and Walter Hagen (11). He is one of only five golfers to have won all four major championships: the Masters Tournament, The Open (despite only playing once), the U. S. Open, and the PGA Championship.

His father was a blacksmith and the family lived ten miles southwest in Dublin until 1921, when they moved 70 miles (112 km) northeast to Fort Worth. When Hogan was nine years old in 1922, his father Chester committed suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot at the family home. By some accounts, Chester committed suicide in front of him, which some (including Hogan biographer James Dodson) have cited as the cause of his introverted personality in later years. ["

States do not currently require drivers to obtain these coverage options, as they do with liability insurance. While comprehensive and collision auto insurance are frequently discussed together, they can be purchased individually or jointly. Bear in mind that these coverages usually do extend to rental cars you may drive, but do not extend protection should you have an accident while driving a friend's car. Auto insurance typically follows the vehicle, not the driver, with the exception of rental cars. What is comprehensive? What is collision insurance? Comprehensive vs Collision Do you need it?

"text": "\"The Price of Auto Insurance Prev NEXTThere are several factors that affect the price of auto insurance. Of course, prices vary by company and you should compare prices thoroughly before you purchase a policy. The first thing that affects your policy's price is, of course, what kind of car you drive. For instance, a sports car costs more to insure than a family sedan. If you purchase a vehicle that has a high theft rate, your coverage will probably be more expensive. Essentially, though, your coverage will be based on the value of your car. Another factor that affects auto insurance costs is where you live. If you live in an area where there is a high occurrence of accidents or vandalism, insurance will cost more money. For instance, since more cars are damaged in urban areas than in rural areas, you will probably pay more for insurance if you live in a city. How often you drive will also affect your insurance costs."

Lifestyle 6/24/2013 @ 2:06PM 405,921 views The Best Used Cars For Teenage Drivers14 Top Used Cars For Teen Drivers It’s a glass half-empty or half-full situation for parents. Data compiled by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute suggests teens just aren’t that interested in cars or driving these days. Eight in 10 Americans ages 17-19 had a driver’s license 30 years ago, but just six out of every 10 teens were behind the wheel in 2012. While having a teen at home without a license keeps the family’s insurance premiums low, and may prevent sleepless nights worrying about an inexperienced driver getting into accidents, the situation tends to leave Mom and Dad in the role of permanent chauffeurs. Whether you’re the parent of a reluctant driver or a teen who’s champing at the bit to get his or her license, it can be challenging to find an affordable used car that’s safe, reliable and economical and won’t bust the family budget with sky-high insurance rates. While the kid may want to own a beater Mustang GT, a clanky open-top Jeep Wrangler or an old repair-prone BMW, most of us with young drivers living at home would prefer he or she settle for a more rational choice. To that end, the experts at Car Insurance.com recently compiled a list of 14 used cars that should be ideal for teen drivers; we’re featuring them in the accompanying slideshow with our own commentary. Each is from the 2009 model year and is valued at $15,000 or less according to Edmunds.com."

"text": "O n May 29, 1975, having won his 5,000-meter race at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, earlier that day, Steve Prefontaine attended a post-race celebration. The party was at his friend Geoff Hollister’s house, tucked amid the trees in the older, statelier part of town. The night was clear, the mood was jubilant. Several elite runners — Jon Anderson (the 1973 winner of the Boston Marathon and son of Les Anderson, Eugene’s mayor at the time), Kenny Moore, and Frank Shorter, among others — were in attendance at Hollister’s that night. Even Prefontaine’s parents, Ray and Elfriede, stopped by before making the two-hour drive back to their hometown of Coos Bay. Around midnight, Prefontaine, 24, said his goodbyes, climbed into his butterscotch MG, and gave his friend Shorter a lift to Moore’s house, where Shorter was crashing for the night. In the era long before race purses, appearance fees, and shoe deals, elite runners like Shorter and Prefontaine relied on the lower-key runner-couch economy. Shorter had been a late addition to the meet, coming to Eugene from Colorado after Prefontaine’s rival, Olympic gold medalist Lasse Viren, pulled out. Prefontaine had picked up the phone and called Shorter, who had won a gold medal in the marathon at the 1972 Munich Olympics, to see if he would fill in. “ Oh,” Shorter told me he said to Prefontaine. “"

After retiring from racing in 1979, Hunt became a media commentator and businessman. Beginning his racing career in touring car racing, Hunt progressed into Formula Three, where he attracted the attention of the Hesketh Racing team and soon came under their wing. Hunt's often reckless and action-packed exploits on track earned him the nickname \"\"Hunt the Shunt\"\" ( shunt as a British racing term means \"\"crash\"\"). Hunt entered Formula One in 1973, driving a March 731 entered by the Hesketh Racing team. He went on to win for Hesketh, driving their own Hesketh 308 car, in both World Championship and non-Championship races, before joining the Mc Laren team at the end of 1975. In his first year with Mc Laren, Hunt won the 1976 World Drivers' Championship, and he remained with the team for a further two years, although with less success, before moving to the Wolf team in early 1979. Following a string of races in which he failed to finish, Hunt retired from driving halfway through the 1979 season."

One evening in the mid-1960s, Arjay Miller was driving home from his office in Dearborn, Michigan, in the four-door Lincoln Continental that went with his job as president of the Ford Motor Company. On a crowded highway, another car struck his from the rear. The Continental spun around and burst into flames. Because he was wearing a shoulder-strap seat belt, Miller was unharmed by the crash, and because his doors didn’t jam he escaped the gasoline-drenched, flaming wreck. But the accident made a vivid impression on him. Several months later, on July 15, 1965, he recounted it to a U. S. Senate subcommittee that was hearing testimony on auto safety legislation. “ I still have burning in my mind the image of that gas tank on fire,” Miller said."

See Example ( s )EXAMPLES Collected via Internet, 2003I heard a rumor concerning our First Lady, Laura Bush, to the effect that she committed manslaughter at one time by backing over her boyfriend with her car. RATINGTrue ORIGINDriving is one of the most dangerous activities we engage in, and most of us do it every day, little realizing the peril of it. Every year in the U. S. there are approximately 6.5 million traffic accidents, resulting in about 42,000 fatalities. This is the story of one of those accidents. It resulted in the death of someone you’ve never heard of, at the hands of someone you have. In May 2000, a two-page police report pertaining to a fatal accident that had taken place near Midland, Texas, in 1963 was made public. It contained the information that 17-year-old Laura Welch had run a stop sign, causing the death of the sole occupant of the vehicle hers had struck. According to that report, the future First Lady had been driving her Chevrolet sedan to a local drive-in theater on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on 6 November 1963 when she entered an intersection without heeding the stop sign and there collided with the Corvair sedan driven by 17-year-old Michael Douglas. Also in the car with Laura Welch was her friend, 17-year-old Judy Dykes."

"text": "Chronic stress can hurt your memory By Serusha Govender and Sara Cheshire, Special to CNNUpdated 1:34 PM ET, Thu June 19, 2014Story highlights Studies show that chronic stress can trigger long-term changes in your brain Memory recall is worse with low vs. high levels of anxiety Stress helps encode traumatic memories as a defense against future threats Do you tend to forget things when you're stressed? Like when you're late for a meeting and can't remember where you left your car keys? Or when you have to give a big presentation and suddenly forget all your talking points seconds before you start? There's nothing like stress to make your memory go a little spotty. A 2010 study found that chronic stress reduces spatial memory: the memory that helps you recall locations and relate objects. Hence, your missing car keys. University of Iowa researchers recently found a connection between the stress hormone cortisol and short-term memory loss in older rats. Their findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience this week, showed that cortisol reduced synapses -- connections between neurons -- in the animals' pre-frontal cortex, the area of the brain that houses short-term memory. But there's a difference between how your brain processes long-term job stress, for example, and the stress of getting into a car accident. Research suggests low levels of anxiety can affect your ability to recall memories; acute or high-anxiety situations, on the other hand, can actually reinforce the learning process."

"text": "Related Articles What Makes Pepper Plant Leaves Turn Light Green? Why Green Pepper Plants Turn Yellow Nutrient Requirements of Pepper Plants Do Bell Pepper Plants Need Calcium? Bell peppers are a warm season vegetable grown for their sweet bell-shaped fruit. The fruit of these plants range in color from green and yellow to red and orange, and can be eaten fresh or included in culinary dishes. Bell peppers grow best in full sun with well-draining fertile soils. If grown in poor soils lacking essential nutrients, bell pepper plants may suffer and exhibit unsightly symptoms. Yellow Foliage More than one nutrient will cause yellow foliage on pepper plants when deficient. Nitrogen deficiency causes whole pepper plants--stem and foliage alike--to develop a light green to yellow color. Low levels of sulfur will also result in yellow leaves. Too little molybdenum causes plants to develop yellow-green foliage."

And is one of the most widely used spices throughout the world. Bioperine is the patented extract obtained from black pepper fruit and is standardized for a minimum of 95% pepper. Bioperine has been shown to increase absorption of nutrients such as betacarotine, vitamin C, selenium and more. Gut absorption also improved in fat and water soluble vitamins, seleno-amino acids and herbal extracts. As a self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredient, bioperine is the only patented peppermint source that help increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. And it is the also source to undergo clinical studies in United States for safety and efficacy. The famous black pepper was first seen in Sanskrit literature in India 3000 years ago. It was first discovered by Alexander the Great when he marched to the Punjab region in northern India in 326 B. C. It was exported to the Persians where it's name is changed to pipari by King Darius. At present it is widely used for it's ability to increase nutrient absorption."

They are related to chili peppers, tomatoes, and breadfruit, all of which are native to Central and South America. Also called sweet peppers or capsicums, bell peppers are eaten as vegetables, either raw or cooked. Like their close relatives, the chili peppers, bell peppers are sometimes dried and powdered. In that case they are referred to as paprika. They are low in calories and exceptionally rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet. Bell peppers come in various colors, such as green (unripe), red, yellow, and orange. Green, unripe fruits have a slightly bitter flavor and are not as sweet as those that are fully ripe.

The color of bell peppers reflects their ripeness. Some varieties of bell pepper begin as green peppers, and then turn yellow, orange and finally red as they ripen. Bell peppers' nutritional content also changes as the pepper ripens, which means that a red pepper offers different nutritional benefit than, for example, a yellow bell pepper. Yellow peppers do lose some vitamin C content as they turn red. However, both types of pepper provide a rich source of vitamin C. Importance of Vitamin CVitamin helps maintain tissue strength. It plays a role in the production of collagen, a protein found in your bones, cartilage, skin and connective tissue that helps to hold your tissue together.

The Symptoms of Soil Nutrient Deficiency in Bell Peppers Why Leaves Fall Off Green Pepper Plants Yellow Tomato Leaves and Epsom Salts Although they are grown across the United States in home gardens as warm-season annuals, green pepper plants are actually tender perennials that thrive all year in the tropics. Pepper plant seedlings transplanted to well-drained soil in a sunny location become mature plants in about 60 to 80 days, depending on their cultivar. Even though the plants have relatively few problems, their leaves may turn yellow for several reasons. Inadequate Sunlight Green pepper plants require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day and thrive with all-day sun. Without adequate sunlight, these plants cannot absorb enough energy from the sun to keep them healthy and promote their growth. Their foliage will appear pale and eventually turn yellow if they do not receive enough sunlight. Nutrient Deficiency Nutrient deficiencies sometimes result in yellowed leaves. A nitrogen, magnesium or sulfur deficiency may cause yellowing of leaves on pepper plants. Signs of a nitrogen deficiency begin with yellow leaves at the bottom of the plants, and the yellowing travels upward."

Since that time, curcumin has been reported to have activity for the following indications: anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, antibacterial, antifungal, nematocidal, antiparasitic, antimutagenic, antidiabetic, antifibrinogenic, radioprotective, wound healing, lipid lowering, antispasmodic, antioxidant, immunomodulating, anticarcinogenic, and Alzheimer’s disease, among others. In many scientific and medicinal circles, these reported effects of curcumin have marked it as a source of future breakthrough therapeutics for complex diseases that are thought to require potent but nonselective therapeutics. In this uncritical enthusiasm for curcumin’s potential utility, its “dark side” is often disregarded. It is important, therefore, that any manuscript or research proposal that is based on the bioactivity (experimentally tested or computationally predicted) of curcumin or its analogues addresses additional characteristics of this natural product: its chemical instability, poor absorption-distribution-metabolis-excretion properties, potential toxicological effects, and its lack of success to date in the clinic arena. The vast number of manuscripts published on the biological activity of curcumin makes it impossible for researchers to keep up with the state-of-the-art in the field. The reactivity against a number of human enzymes that are linked to compound toxicity, reactivity of each of these classes has important implications for potential toxic side effects specific enzyme toxicity, compound has recently been shown to be an active iron chelator in vivo, inducing a state of overt iron deficiency in mice fed diets poor in iron. It is possible that long-term curcumin supplementation and a Western-type diet may aggravate iron deficiency. In studies of therapeutic utility, has been reported as cytotoxic against a number of important cancer cell lines. What is infrequently noted is that it also shows cytotoxicity against normal human lymphocytes."

This black pepper abstract is added to a wide range of supplements and foods to increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients. Black pepper has been used in India for hundreds of years for its medicinal benefits and now is available in a potent extract form. Dried pepper contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Bioperine is an extract form that has been clinically tested and patented in the U. S.. Studies demonstrate that is significantly increases bioavailability of certain nutrients by increasing absorption in the gut. Bioperine works on two different levels (cellular and molecular) by initiating thermogenesis. Your body generates heat during metabolism. There are two types of metabolic reactions known as catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is where a larger molecule is broken down into two smaller molecules and in the body this generally requires an enzyme. Catabolism involves the breaking of a bond."

Let’s look at some possible reasons why your pepper plant leaves are yellow and how to fix yellow leaves on a pepper plant. Causes of Pepper Leaves Turning Yellow Pepper Plant Leaves are Yellow Due to a Lack of Water and Nutrients One of the two most common reasons for yellow leaves on a pepper plant is either under watering or a lack of nutrients in the soil. In both of these cases, pepper plants will also be stunted and will commonly drop the pepper flowers or fruit. If you think that this is the reason your pepper plant leaves are yellow, increase watering to your pepper plants and apply some balanced fertilizer.

( These carotenoids are the nutrients that earn bell peppers a spot on our Top 15 list of foods for vitamin A.) A recent study comparing organic versus non-organic bell peppers, as well as the impact of freezing on their carotenoids, has provided some helpful results. While researchers did not find levels of the carotenoids lycopene or beta-carotene to be significantly higher in organic versus non-organic bell peppers, they did find levels of a third carotenoid - lutein - to be significantly higher in the organically grown version. They also found good retention of these carotenoids after the bell peppers were cut and frozen for 6 months at a very low temperature (-20C/-4F). ( Between 80-90% of each carotenoid was retained after freezing.) While we always encourage consumption of vegetables in fresh form, these solid carotenoid results after freezing are reason to consider freezing if it works better in meal planning. While we are on the topic of organic versus non-organic bell peppers and their nutrient content, it's worth noting that a study from Poland has recently compared differences not only in carotenoids but also flavonoids, phenolic acids, and vitamin C from bell peppers grown using these two basic cultivation methods. In this study, bell peppers from 3 organic farms were compared with bell peppers from 3 non-organic farms. Both carotenoids and vitamin C were found to be about 10% higher in the organically grown bell peppers. Total phenolic acids were about 30% higher, yet flavonoids were about 7-8% lower."

The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. There are around 200,000 species within this group. [ 3] The other group of flowering plants were called monocotyledons or monocots, typically having one cotyledon. Historically, these two groups formed the two divisions of the flowering plants.

"text": "Diversity of Angiosperms Angiosperm diversity is divided into two main groups, monocot and dicots, based primarily on the number of cotyledons they possess. Learning Objectives Explain how angiosperm diversity is classified Key Takeaways Key Points Angiosperm are flowering plants that are classified based on characteristics that include (but are not limited to) cotyledon structure, pollen grains, as well as flower and vascular tissue arrangement. Basal angiosperms, classified separately, contain features found in both monocots and dicots, as they are believed to have originated before the separation of these two main groups. Monocots contain a single cotyledon and have veins that run parallel to the length of their leaves; their flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry. Dicots have flowers arranged in whorls, two cotyledons, and a vein arrangement that forms networks within their leaves. Monocots do not contain any true woody tissue while dicots can be herbacious or woody and have vascular tissue that forms a ring in the stem. Key Termsdicot: a plant whose seedlings have two cotyledons; a dicotyledonangiosperm: a plant whose ovules are enclosed in an ovarymonocot: one of two major groups of flowering plants (or angiosperms) that are traditionally recognized; seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed-leaf)cotyledon: the leaf of the embryo of a seed-bearing plant; after germination it becomes the first leaves of the seedlingbasal angiosperm: the first flowering plants to diverge from the ancestral angiosperm, including a single species of shrub from New Caledonia, water lilies and some other aquatic plants, and woody aromatic plants Diversity of Angiosperms Angiosperms are classified in a single phylum: the Anthophyta. Modern angiosperms appear to be a monophyletic group, which means that they originated from a single ancestor. Flowering plants are divided into two major groups according to the structure of the cotyledons and pollen grains, among others. Monocots include grasses and lilies while eudicots or dicots form a polyphyletic group."

"text": "Fruits Flowers and Seeds - Plant Biology Flowers, Fruits and Seeds Flowering plants grow in a wide variety of habitats and environments. They can go from germination of a seed to a mature plant producing new seeds in as little as a month or as long as 150 years. Plants that complete their life cycle in a single season are called annuals; while biennials take two years; and perennials may take several to many years to go from germinated seed to producing new seeds. There are two major classes of flowering plants, monocots and dicots—which have been mentioned previously in the leaves and stems tutorials. In order to keep these two classes separate in our minds, let’s take a moment and outline some of the differences between them. Differences between monocots and dicots Monocots: One seed leaf—cotyledon Flower components in threes or multiples of three Leaf veins are parallel No vascular or cork cambiums Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem One aperture (thin spot) in pollen grains Dicots: Two seed leaves—cotyledon Flower components in four or fives or multiples of fours or fives Leaf veins are branching and networked Vascular cambium present, usually cork cambium present Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring in the stem Three apertures in pollen grains Dicots account for slightly under three quarters of all flowering plants. Nearly all flowering trees and shrubs are dicots as well as many annual plants. Monocots include bulb producing plants, grasses, orchids and palms. They are primarily herbaceous, meaning no secondary woody growth. Structure of Flowers There are all sorts of flower shapes, sizes, colors and arrangements, however there are a few features that are central to all flowers regardless of their form."

"text": "Related Articles Difference Between Mountain Laurel & Rhododendrons How to Identify a Begonia What Is the Difference Between Split Pea & Sweet Pea? Comparison of Clementine and Satsuma Citrus Structural differences between grasses and trees are obvious even to someone who doesn't know much about botany. For centuries, though, botanists have been trying to nail down the specific traits that make the major types of flowering plants distinct from one another. It's been a difficult task, given that very few traits are consistently different from one group of plants to another group, but the differences in the seeds of monocots, dicots and eudicots are reliable defining characteristics. Monocots and Dicots Designed as a way to mark the difference between two major groups of plants, the classification of flowering plants as either monocots or dicots has been common practice since the 1600s. The characteristics that define the two types of plants lie in many parts of the plants' structure, including the flowers, leaves, stems, roots and pollen, but the names of the classifications come from the cotyledons, which are embryonic leaves that are part of the plants' seed structure. Eudicots The differences between monocots and dicots are not always clear, and a particular plant in one group may have some characteristics that are usually typical of plants in the other group. Most dicots, however, share a common pollen structure that differs from that of monocots and a minority of dicots; this large subgroup of dicots is called eudicots. A plant's pollen structure is what makes it a eudicot, but its seeds differ from those of monocots in the same way that the seeds of all dicots differ. Cotyledons Cotyledons are embryonic leaves that are part of the plant embryo residing within a seed; the cotyledons are attached to the embryo near the junction of the embryonic root and shoot."

"text": "\"Difference Between Monocot and Dicot Seeds Posted on December 23, 2013 by Yash Monocot vs Dicot Seeds In flowering plants, seed is defined as the mature ovule after fertilization. All seeds contain an embryo, which is a living plant. They also contain foods to nourish this living part in them. The seed cover basically helps to protect the embryo until it finds a proper location to germinate. The seed leaves (or cotyledons) provide the necessary energy to develop the embryo until the roots and true leaves are formed. The embryo in the seed does not germinate until it finds favorable conditions. For this reason, certain seeds have adapted to remain dormant for hundred years or more. Depending on the number of seed leaves, all the seeds can be categorized into two types; monocotyledonous (monocot) seeds and dicotyledonous (dicot) seeds. Seeds are also classified into two categories based on the presence or absence of a special food tissue called endosperm. They are albuminous and exalbuminous."

Jim HMarch 27, 2015 12103 Views Most of us already know that nicotine is not only highly addictive, but it’s also harmful and toxic to the body in larger doses. But when most people discuss nicotine, they often link it to tobacco products such as cigarettes. Surprisingly nicotine is not an engineered substance; it is in fact a natural occurring alkaloid and there are traces of nicotine in fruits and vegetables which we eat every day. Why is There Nicotine In Fruits and Vegetables Nicotine is harmful to humans in larger amounts, and it is also equally harmful to most other animals if they ingest it as well. Plants are unique in that they develop curious defenses to ward off predators and survive. Some plants emit a noxious smell, some have thorns, and others are poisonous and are distasteful when ingested. For certain plants, specifically those that belong to the nightshade family, their defense against predators is to produce nicotine. Edible Plants in the nightshade family There are many plants in the nightshade family, however not all of them are edible."

Definition of Spice: A pungent, aromatic plant substance, such as cinnamon, cloves, mustard or nutmeg, used to flavor foods or beverages. Spices can come from almost any part of a plant including seeds, leaves, barks, rhizomes, latex, stigmas, floral buds and modified stems. Spices are the common dietary ingredients that contribute to the taste and flavor of foods. Besides, spices are also known to exert several beneficial effects and due to increased research on the health benefits of spices, some of them are now available in supplement form. See below a discussion of each spice, and there are links provided if you wish to purchase some of them. In traditional medical systems, the ability of spices to heal various physical, mental and emotional problems has widely been reported. A growing body of research has demonstrated that the commonly used herbs and spices such as garlic, black cumin, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, allspices, bay leaves, mustard, and rosemary, possess antimicrobial properties that, in some cases, can be used therapeutically. Other spices, such as saffron, a food colorant; turmeric, a yellow colored spice; tea, either green or black, ginger, and flaxseed do contain potent plant substances, including carotenoids, curcumins, catechins, lignan respectively, which provide significant protection against several chronic health conditions including cardiovascular conditions and tumor prevention. Interesting fact: There appears to be a correlation between preferences for spicy food and risk-taking personalities."

Cayenne pepper and heart health go hand in hand, and cayenne pepper herbs are a centuries old effective folk remedy. Let me show you why….. What is Cayenne? Cayenne is a fruit not a herb, but possesses the healing properties of herbs. Cayenne peppers belong to the nightshade family of plants like the jalapeno and bell pepper. These all contain oleoresin capsaicin which is where the health benefits of cayenne pepper derive from. It is used in spicy dishes as a powder or vinegar like sauce. It gets it’s hot properties from a substance called capsaicin oleoresin which affects the body’s nerves causing them to release a neurotransmitter called substance-p into the bloodstream. This release of substance-p is what causes the burning sensation. However this neurotransmitter is rapidly depleted, temporarily blocking the nerves from transmitting pain signals to the brain."

To naturally repel these feline visitors from the garden, you can use cayenne pepper either sprayed or sprinkled around your plants. Kitties don't like the smell and it shouldn't hurt most plants. Cayenne Pepper Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, the chemical that repels cats away from the area. Some commercially available pet repellent sprays use cayenne pepper as a main ingredient, along with other oils cats don't like, such as mustard oil, according to the Humane Society of Huron Valley. You can also make your own spray, mixing a cayenne-based hot sauce or ground flakes with water. The University of Vermont Extension School recommends combining one part cayenne pepper sauce with 16 parts water to spray on plants. The yucky scent, taste and irritating effects of the cayenne peppers should discourage neighborhood kitties from entering, or returning to, your garden. Applying the Pepper Cayenne pepper flakes can be sprinkled around the base of your plants and ground into a fine powder to apply to the leaves."

But what exactly is in those spices? Research from Kansas State University in Olathe studied 10 different spices, and found four to contain contaminants that could be harmful to your health. Following a recent report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Patrick Williams, a research assistant professor at Kansas State Olathe, decided to study the food safety of spices. Williams found contaminants that could actually made you sick, which range from foodborne pathogens like salmonella, heavy metals, to micro-toxins, which are considered carcinogens. “Our research has found that some of the spices we’ve purchased from farmers’ markets and bulk spice vendors are positive for Salmonella ,” Williams said. “ There are four spices that are typically associated with salmonella contamination: black pepper, thyme, oregano, and turmeric. ”The researchers studies spices that were purchased in bulk, like those sold at farmer’s markets, but not the individually packed spices sold in stores. The four spices most often contain these dangerous pathogens, while cinnamon and ginger samples tend to be free of any contamination."

Pepper plants are vulnerable to a host of pests, often made worse because they're in the same family as tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes, so the pests can move from one to the other with ease. While some of these pests focus on fruit, many of them will eat leaves, damaging or even killing the pepper plants before the peppers are ready to pick. Leafminers Leafminer adults are tiny black flies with bright yellow markings. The eggs are injected into the leaves of peppers and other plants, and when they hatch, the larvae tunnel inside the leaves as they feed, creating white trails that eventually result in large white, brown or yellow spots. Damaged leaves usually die and drop from the stems, resulting in stunted plants that can't produce or sustain fruit. Insecticidal soap or oils can help to control them, but such measures will also harm the beneficial insects in your garden. Many types of leafminers are resistant to insecticides, but parasitic wasps and predators such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps can provide safe and effective control. Aphids Aphids are very small insects that use their long mouths to pierce the tender parts of leaves, stems and other plant parts so that they can feed on the fluids within.

It is important to know that benefits under these programs are not paid automatically; a senior must apply for them. There are additional requirements, depending on how long the senior has resided in Canada. Old age security Old age security (OAS) is a federally funded monthly pension, which is paid to eligible seniors who have reached the age of 65, are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and have lived in Canada for at least 10 years after the age of 18. To receive OAS, applicants can apply up to 12 months before their 65th birthday or the date of their eligibility. Seniors will receive the full amount if they have lived in Canada for 40 years. The maximum amount for March 2006 is $487.54. Seniors who have lived in Canada for at least 10 years may qualify for a partial pension depending on the number of years they have lived in Canada. Seniors who have lived in Canada for less than 10 years may still qualify for OAS if their country of origin (or previous country of residence) has an international social security agreement with Canada. For example, if a senior immigrant lived and worked in the United States for four years, he will be able to receive a partial pension after he has lived in Canada for six years."

"text": "Accessing super early: 14 legal ways to withdraw your super benefits February 14, 2017 by Trish Power 242 Comments Many Australians are facing hard times, especially with structural change transforming our economy. The harsh reality is that mortgage repayments and everyday living expenses continue even when you suffer redundancy, illness or other forms of misfortune. We receive hundreds of emails from our 2 million website visitors annually (including visitors from around the world) asking when, and how, you can claim your Australian super benefits. Withdrawing superannuation benefits means you must satisfy certain super rules. In simple terms, there are 14 ways to unlock your super early (or for your family to unlock your super if you die), which are listed later in the article. Note: This article provides an excellent overview and summary of the 14 main ways you access your super. You can also use this article to access more than 50 articles (you can find the links contained within this article), answering different aspects of accessing super benefits early. This summary article, and the 50-plus related articles, are a product of the most popular questions asked by readers on the topic of accessing super early. Why is ‘preservation age’ so important? In most cases you cannot withdraw your superannuation until you reach your preservation age and retire."

Consideration 1: States without income taxes If you're thinking about relocating but you are not sure where to move, consider moving to a state that does not have state income taxes. These states are: Alaska Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington Wyoming Florida (Has no personal income taxes, but does impose taxes on the value of certain business assets)Two other states, New Hampshire and Tennessee, tax only dividend and interest income. There are no state income taxes on wages or self-employment income. Consideration 2: Moving expenses If your employer is moving you from state to state and paying for your moving expenses, some of your reimbursed moving expenses could be tax-free, but some might appear on your Form W-2 as part of your taxable income. Consideration 3: Renting property in the state you leave Even if you establish permanent residency in the new state, if you rent out your house in your old state, you will most likely have to file an income tax return in your old state to report your income and expenses. If you make a net profit renting your house, you will most likely have to report your rental income and expenses on both your old state and your new state income tax returns. However, your new state will most likely allow you a credit for the taxes you pay to your old state because of the rental property income."

It helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the social security system of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay social security taxes to both countries on the same earnings. The agreement covers social security taxes (including the U. S. Medicare portion) and social security retirement, disability and survivors benefits. It does not cover benefits under the U. S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income program. This booklet covers highlights of the agreement and explains how it may help you while you work and when you apply for benefits . The agreement may help you, your family and your employer While you work— If your work is covered by both the United States and the Polish social security systems, you (and your employer, if you are employed) would normally have to pay social security taxes to both countries for the same work. However, the agreement eliminates this double coverage so you pay taxes to only one system (see the section on \"\" Coverage and Social Security taxes \"\"). When you apply for benefits— You may have some social security credits in both the United States and Poland but not have enough to be eligible for benefits in one country or the other."

"text": "\"The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has a maximum monthly benefit of $884.58 for 2008 (for a 65 year old). That means that if you made the maximum annual contribution to CPP for a certain number of years, then if you were turning 65 this year and elected to take your CPP pension – you would receive this maximum amount. This works out to $10,614.96 for the year. In addition, the monthly benefit is indexed to inflation every January – so if inflation (as measured by CPI) increases, so does your monthly benefit. The CPP monthly benefit that you START AT is also adjusted by WHEN you elect to start receiving it. If you are under 65, you can elect to start receiving it if you are no longer working (actually, you only need not be working for 2 consecutive months, once you start getting your payments, you can go back to work – I’ll write about that some other time.) Once you reach 65, you can elect to receive it even if you are working when you make the application. For every month before your 65th birthday that you elect to begin receiving CPP you must subtract 0.5% from the monthly benefit you are entitled to receive. For every month AFTER your 65th birthday that you delay beginning to receive CPP benefits, you ADD 0.5% to the monthly benefit. These adjustments are applicable for 5 years either way – so if you elect to start taking CPP at 60 your STARTING benefit would be reduced by 30% (since this is 60 months early)."

"text": "By Eric Jorgensen Learn more about Eric at Nerd Wallet’s Ask an Advisor. Veterans have access to health and long-term care benefits that can have a significant impact on their family’s finances. The Department of Veterans Affairs will pay for certain long-term care services for disabled and low-income veterans. With help covering long-term care costs, many veterans and their families can focus on other important aspects of their financial planning. There are many options for veterans to take advantage of as they age and require care, but often veterans don’t even know they may be eligible. Here’s a look at the various benefits available: VA health care system Those who served in the active military — except for those dishonorably discharged — or who were in the Reserves or the National Guard and served their full period of duty are eligible to enroll in the VA’s health care system. Enrollment is free, although treatments may require a copay, depending on the veteran’s financial position. Additionally, veterans who enroll establish eligibility for future long-term care services even if they use a different primary health insurance provider in the meantime. Although the armed forces do a good job helping those with traumatic injuries access their benefits, many veterans still leave the service without taking advantage of the health system. If you’re a veteran or have a family member who is, make sure to find out about all benefit options available to you."

You might receive it from a:foreign employertrust established by a foreign employerforeign government or one of its agencies (including a foreign social security pension)foreign insurance companyforeign trust or other foreign entity designated to pay the annuity Just as with domestic pensions or annuities, the taxable amount generally is the Gross Distribution minus the Cost (investment in the contract). Income received from foreign pensions or annuities may be fully or partly taxable, even if you do not receive a Form 1099 or other similar document reporting the amount of the income. General Rule: Treaties—Pension/Annuity Articles As a general rule, the pension/annuity articles of most tax treaties allow the country of residence (as determined by the residency article) to tax the pension or annuity under its domestic laws. This is true unless a treaty provision specifically amends that treatment. Some treaties, for example, provide that the country of residence may not tax amounts that would not have been taxable by the other country if you were a resident of that country. In some cases, government pensions/annuities or social security payments may be taxable by the government making the payments. There also may be special rules for lump-sum distributions. You need to look at each treaty carefully. If you live in a foreign country and receive a pension/annuity paid by a U. S. payor, you may claim an exemption from withholding of U. S. Federal Income Tax (FIT) under a tax treaty by completing Form W-8BEN and delivering it to the U. S. payor."

"text": "The international boundary that divides the United States and Canada is the longest international border on Earth, and many communities and businesses have interests lying on both sides. The shared border facilitates the largest trade relationship between any pair of countries in the world. It is therefore unsurprising that Americans and Canadians frequently run into their neighboring country’s tax laws. Although dealing with international tax concerns is often complicated, a special relationship between the United States and Canada offers some protection for citizens who earn income or conduct business in both countries. The U. S.-Canada Tax Treaty Both Canada and the United States tax their residents on worldwide income. In this article, I will mainly refer to resident individuals (citizens and noncitizens), but it is important to note that U. S. residents also include partnerships, corporations, and estates and trusts based in the United States. In Canada, individuals who spend more than 183 days in the country over a 12-month period, Canadian corporations, corporations founded elsewhere if their “mind and management” is located in Canada, and estates and trusts for which the majority of trustees reside in Canada are all considered residents. The question of residency can be complicated in certain situations, an issue to which I will return later. For most residents of either country, one of the largest tax concerns when working or earning income across the border is double taxation. The U. S.-Canada Tax Treaty, formally known as “The Convention between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital,” was designed specifically to address this concern."

Corbett CCombine surfing with kayaking and you’ve got stand up paddleboarding (SUP). SUP is the fastest- growing water sport in the world with gear sales up by about 200% in the past year, according to Cody White, certified Paddle Fit instructor and co-founder of Finger Lakes Paddleboard. “ The reason so many people are drawn to paddleboarding is that it’s an amazing full-body workout that improves your core strength, cardio fitness, balance, and flexibility with virtually no impact,” says White. “ Plus, it’s fun to get out on the water and enjoy nature, so it hardly feels like exercise. Even though paddleboarding is a total-body workout, people of all ages and fitness levels can try the sport. Unlike surfing, you don’t need waves to paddleboard, and very calm, flat water is best for beginners. “ Surfing didn’t take over mainstream America because the majority of us don’t live by the surf, but the beauty of paddleboarding is that you can do it on an ocean, lake, and even a river,” says White. Paddleboarding got its roots in Hawaii in the 1960s when the Beach Boys of Waikiki started standing on their longboards and using outrigger paddles to paddle out for a better view of the surf. The sport didn’t take off until the 2000s when pro surfers such as Laird Hamilton used SUP to continue training when the ocean was too calm to surf. Today SUP has gone mainstream, and the World Paddle Association (WPA) makes it easy to find races, meetups, and classes across the country."

Steps1 Lay out your basic design. Come up with reasonable and practical requirements, since under building will leave you with less deck space than you need, and overbuilding will send you to Davey Jones' locker with weight and expense.2 Choose a practical place to build your project. The first concern should be getting your \"\"ship\"\" to the \"\"harbor\"\" safely, and in one piece. This will mean having a large enough suitable trailer to haul it, and a vehicle capable of pulling it, so a very large craft might be more simply assembled on the water to begin with, if a private waterfront lot or private pond is available.3 Locate suitable pontoons. Since the vessel must be seaworthy, the flotation is a critical factor in the design. Some scrapyards may have very large PVC water pipe, plastic drums, or even military \"\"drop tanks\"\" from surplus. The drop tanks are ideal, since they are rust resistant, and contain honeycombed baffle material which makes them extremely strong, plus they are \"\"aerodynamic\"\", which would roughly equal \"\"hydrodynamic\"\". The main thing is to find something which displaces sufficient water to give flotation and stability to your vessel.4 Select the material you are going to frame the boat with. For this article, we will use PVC water pipe as the flotation since it may be the most readily available material, and we will discuss attaching the support framing made of 2x4 treated southern pine lumber."

"text": "\"To Magazine Home Page Boat Lifts By Michael Vatalaro There are a lot of advantages to keeping your boat out of the water here are three new and innovative ways to do it. EZ-Boat Port Introduced this past spring, the EZ-Boat Port from EZ-Dock is a grownup version of their drive-on PWC lifts. Modular floating docks like those from EZ-Dock and others offer great flexibility in designing a home for your boat. A chief advantage is the ability to add \"\"sidewalks\"\" on either side of your lift, giving you 270-degree access to the boat while it is out of the water. The EZ-Boat Port lets you power on and off in boats up to 25 feet in length, weighing up to 5,000 pounds, in as little as two feet of water. The polyethylene material keeps maintenance to a minimum and additional flotation is available using an air-displacement float tank to increase capacity. Rollers and bunks are adjustable and can accommodate deadrise angles up to 21 degrees. www.ez-dock.com V-Lift This Innovation Award-winning lift by Sunstream combines the advantages of a drive-on dock system, notably composite construction that's impervious to salt and sun, and a displacement lift. The V-shaped cradle raises and lowers quickly, thanks to a blower motor in each of the four sections, lifting your boat out of the water in less than two minutes, and launching it in as little as 75 seconds. The DC-electric blowers are connected directly to each air chamber, so there are no hoses that can leak, and no power pack to mount on the dock."

Choosing a kayak: First, what type of paddling are you going to do? Where are you going to paddle and for how long? Kayaks are very specific to use and come in several basic types. Whitewater Kayaks for fast moving rivers, Touring and Recreation Kayaks for flat water, (lakes, inlets, bays and slow moving rivers), and Sea Kayaks for open ocean paddling. What style kayak... Sit In or Sit On Top ...you choose will depend upon the type of paddling you intend to do, your skill level and your personal preference. Sit On Top style kayaks generally are (pros) very popular with paddlers who: like to play in the surf and have not progressed to having a bomb proof roll; great for getting an all over tan; provide a very stable fishing platform; have mobility or flexibility or emotional concerns that prevent them from using a sit in kayak. Almost all sit on top style kayaks are self bailing...no need to worry about swamping the boat! Sit on top style kayaks generally (cons) must be wider to compensate for the resultant paddlers higher center of gravity; are slower for their length due to extra width, do not allow (without thigh straps) a paddler to effectively use his/her body to control the boat; are a little more cumbersome to handle on and off the water. Sit In style kayaks generally have a more efficient hull design; allow for greater gear storage; are dryer, allowing for an extended paddling season for most paddlers; a properly fitted cockpit (the area you sit in) will allow the paddler to very effectively use his/her body to control the boat."

Class 3 boats, are those with lengths between 40 and just under 65 feet. The larger the boat, the more complex the boat’s need for safety equipment, such as life jackets, a throwable rescue flotation device, horns, bells, whistles, distress signals and firefighting equipment. State Laws Your state can impose standards more stringent than those found in the federal regulations administered by the U. S. Coast Guard or other waterborne law enforcement agencies. These state laws may include special provisions regarding children's wear of personal flotation devices on deck or other requirements.

"text": "Saturday Apr 7, 201818 Things to Know About SEP Plans1. Employer Established A SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) is an employer-established plan and contributions are made by the employer to his or her own SEP-IRA account and to each employee's SEP-IRA account. Employees cannot set up their own SEP or make contributions to their own SEP-IRA account. A SEP-IRA account is a traditional IRA and follows the same investment, distribution, and rollover rules as traditional IRAs.2. Written Arrangement A SEP is a written arrangement. It provides a simple, tax favored way for you to provide for your own retirement and to help employees save for theirs.3. Self-Employed Persons If you're self-employed, you can set up a SEP-IRA for yourself and make tax deductible contributions towards your own retirement. Contributions to a SEP-IRA and its earnings are tax-deferred until distributed.4. IRA-Based Because SEP IRAs are IRA-based, they are simpler and less expensive to set up and administer than qualified plans, such as 401 (k) plans, which involve more complex rules.5. Control A SEP-IRA is owned and controlled by the employee."

"text": "Retirement plans established for the benefit of governmental employees generally function in ways similar to those covering private employers. However, in many cases, different Sections of the Internal Revenue Code determine the tax treatment of these plans. Depending on the statutory basis for the plan and how it operates, employer and employee contributions may be subject to Federal income tax at the time of contribution, or tax-deferred until distributed; and they may be taxable or excluded from social security and Medicare taxes (FICA). Public Retirement Systems (FICA Replacement Plans)Effective July 2, 1991, Congress made social security coverage mandatory for state and local government employees who are neither covered by a Section 218 Agreement nor qualifying participants in a public retirement system. Under this provision, states can provide these mandatorily covered employees with membership in a public retirement system as an alternative to mandatory social security coverage. Employees may also be covered by both a public retirement system and social security under a Section 218 Agreement. A governmental retirement plan must meet certain minimum benefit or contribution standards to qualify as a public retirement system, and thereby serve as a “replacement” plan exempting the participants from mandatory social security coverage. These standards are based solely on meeting a minimum benefit level provided (defined benefit plan), or a minimum amount contributed (defined contribution plan) to the participant. Whether a plan meets the standard to exempt employees from mandatory FICA has no bearing on the rules discussed below, and a public retirement system is not necessarily a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). For a detailed discussion of the requirements for public retirement systems, see Chapter 6 of Publication 963, Federal-State Reference Guide."

"text": "\"401 (k) Early Distribution Tax Penalty If I withdraw my 401 (k) and give it to my spouse as a gift, would I still face a very steep tax penalty? Read full question Bill's Answer 307 Comments4.5 /5.0 (29 Votes)By Daniel Cohen Published: Jan 2, 2008Highlights Congress permits two types of hardship distributions. File a Form 5329 to report the tax on early distributions. Your plan administrator will send you a Form 1099-R. Congress and the IRS call withdrawals from a 401 (k) or other qualified retirement plan a distribution. In general, if you take a distribution from a traditional individual retirement account such as a 401 (k) or other qualified retirement plan before you turn age 59½, you are subject to a 10% penalty tax. The taxable amount is added to your taxable income. Put another way, the 10% penalty tax is in addition to your regular income taxes. Please note that the associated penalties and taxes are applied at the time of your withdrawal transaction, so even if you plan to gift the proceeds later on, you will still be liable for the penalties and applicable taxes. All 401 (k) Distributions Are Subject to Income Tax You can avoid this additional tax penalty if you meet certain criteria, but you cannot avoid including your retirement withdrawal from your taxable income. Some distributions can be made without penalty, but these usually require a financial hardship."

The section of the Internal Revenue Code that made such 401 (k) plans possible was enacted into law in 1978. [ 5] It was intended to allow taxpayers a break on taxes on deferred income. In 1980, a benefits consultant and attorney named Ted Benna took note of the previously obscure provision and figured out that it could be used to create a simple, tax-advantaged way to save for retirement.

This is especially advantageous if you have a side business but no retirement plan through your primary employment. But there are ways to increase funding of your retirement plans even if you are covered on your job. In addition, funding a retirement plan with side income is a way of converting a current business activity into a long-term benefit with the potential to provide for you for the rest of your life. Retirement Account Options for Self-Employed and Freelance Workers Some people use their side income to accelerate debt payoff or increase their savings. For the best long-term benefit, consider sticking as much as possible of the money you earn on the side into a retirement account. Here are five options to consider (all contribution limits current as of 2017): Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA)Even if you are covered by a retirement plan through your main employment you may still be able to take set up a Traditional IRA. Contribution limits are $5,500 per year ($6,500 if you’re 50 or older). A single taxpayer covered by an employer plan can take a full IRA deduction with a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) of up to $62,000. After hitting this income level, the deduction phases out until at $72,000 it’s gone completely."

In investing, the same bit of wisdom also has a place. Where you put your investments—meaning the type of account you choose—can make a major difference in how much you can earn, after tax, over time. That’s because different investments are subject to different tax rules, and different types of accounts have different tax treatment. Attempting to sort investments into accounts to lower your overall tax bill—a strategy often called active asset location—has the potential to lower your overall tax bill. Should you use your brokerage account for the REIT fund you are investing in, or would it be better in your tax-deferred annuity? What about the growth stocks you have been eyeing or the municipal bonds you are laddering toward retirement income—should those go into a Roth or into your taxable account? \"\" You can't control market returns, and you can't control tax law, but you can control how you use accounts that offer tax advantages—and good decisions about their use can add significantly to your bottom line,\"\" says Matthew Kenigsberg, a senior vice president in Strategic Advisers, Inc., a Fidelity Investments company.

By Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, CFPDear Carrie,From what I’ve read, if a married couple has annual withdrawals from 401 (k)s, IRAs or pensions that exceed a certain amount, their Social Security benefits may be taxed. Is that true?— A Reader Dear Reader,You’re absolutely right. When it comes to income taxes, many people think only of the money they earn in a paycheck. But the reality is that there are many other types of income that are subject to ordinary income taxes. And all of that income, in turn, can trigger taxes on Social Security benefits — which can come as an unwelcome surprise. To determine whether your Social Security benefits will be taxed, the IRS uses what it calls your “combined income” — which is the sum of your adjusted gross income (AGI), non-taxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefits. If your combined income exceeds a certain limit, 50 to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxed. All this is probably enough to send you running to your accountant."

The diversified options and low investment expenses make it a great vehicle for adding to a nest egg. While saving and investing are relatively straightforward within TSP, making withdrawals when you actually make it to retirement can be much more complicated. Here are the options available and some important factors to consider when making your decisions. TSP Withdrawal Options There are many working and retired federal employees that utilize the TSP throughout their careers, and will at some point begin taking withdrawals. The TSP itself, though, has limited resources available for servicing those accounts. In order to make it manageable for the agency, the withdrawal options are limited to just a few. They include a one-time partial withdrawal, full withdrawal, a series of monthly payments, or an annuity. Funds can also be moved to an IRA account, to be withdrawn from there. One Time Partial Withdrawal You are eligible for a partial withdrawal from TSP only once in your lifetime."

Most people mistakenly believe that their IRA must be invested in bank CDs, the stock market, or mutual funds. Few Investors realize that the IRS has always permitted real estate to be held inside IRA retirement accounts. Investments in real estate with a Self-Directed IRA LLC are fully permissible under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). IRS rules permit you to engage in almost any type of real estate investment, aside generally from any investment involving a disqualified person. In addition, the IRS states the following on their website: “….. IRA law does not prohibit investing in real estate but trustees are not required to offer real estate as an option. ”Advantages of Using a Self-Directed IRA LLC to Purchase Real Estate Income or gains generated by an IRA generate tax-deferred/tax-free profits. Using a Self-Directed IRA LLC to purchase real estate allows the IRA to earn tax-free income/gains and pay taxes at a future date (in the case of a Roth IRA the income/gains are always tax-free), rather than in the year the investment produces income. With a Self-Directed IRA LLC, you can invest tax-free and not have to pay taxes right away – or in the case of a Roth IRA - ever! All the income or gains from your real estate deals flow through to your IRA tax-free!Why Buy Real Estate Using a Self-Directed IRA LLCGains are tax free Positive cash flow is tax free No time limit for holding property IRA can borrow money - Leverage your investment with non-recourse financing Potential to earn a larger rate of return on invested capital Tax Advantages of Buying Real estate with a Self-Directed IRA LLCWhen purchasing real estate with a Self-Directed IRA LLC, in general, all income and gains generated by your pre-tax retirement account investment would generally flow back into the retirement account tax-free."

January 1, 2016Photo by pavlen/i Stock Related TOPICSTax Personal Financial Planning Retirement Planning Money invested in retirement accounts reaps the benefits of tax - deferred earnings and is therefore good for tax planning purposes. But putting money into retirement accounts limits the availability of funds because they are generally subject to the Sec. 72 (t) 10% addition to tax on distributions taken before reaching age 59 ½ (as well as being included in taxable income). Your clients may want to take their money out of these accounts early, so you should know how to do that without paying the 10% tax. The exceptions to the tax on early distributions also differ depending on whether the money is withdrawn from a qualified plan or an IRA. In addition to the exceptions discussed in this article, one way to avoid the tax is by taking a 60 - day rollover \"\"loan\"\" from a retirement account. While not technically a loan, distributions are tax - free if the taxpayer reinvests the funds in a retirement account within 60 days, even if the funds are reinvested in the same account."

Refund of Contributions If you leave federal government service or transfer to a job not under the CSRS or FERS and you aren't eligible for an immediate annuity, you can choose to receive a refund of the money in your CSRS or FERS retirement account. The refund will include both regular and voluntary contributions you made to the fund, plus any interest payable. If the refund includes only your contributions, none of the refund is taxable. If it includes any interest, the interest is taxable unless you roll it over directly into another qualified plan or a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA). If you don't have the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) transfer the interest to an IRA or other plan in a direct rollover, tax will be withheld at a 20% rate. See Rollover Rules in Part II for information on how to make a rollover. Interest isn't paid on contributions to the CSRS for service after 1956 unless your service was for more than 1 year but not more than 5 years. Therefore, many employees who withdraw their contributions under the CSRS don't get interest and don't owe any tax on their refund.

Yes, in northern gardens they take some time to flower, and yes, they must be started indoors to insure adequate time for flowering before frost, but just look at the rewards. The five-inch diameter blossoms in this photo opened last night and remained open into the cloudy morning – a few smaller blossoms had opened over the previous three nights – and the vines are covered with buds ready to open. In past years, I planted moonflowers so the vines would grow up and smother the posts on my front porch. But this somewhat protected area only receives full sun during the height of summer. Since moonflowers are true heat-loving vines, they struggled to blossom before the colder September nights zapped their strength. So this year I potted three or four vines in a large container (at right) in a sunnier location, and provided the vines with six-foot tall bamboo stakes for support. To add some color while waiting for the moonflower vines to grow, I added low growing ageratum and million bells petunias (both mostly hidden now). As you can see the moonflower vines completely covered the bamboo stakes, and this weekend the blossoms opened – fully two weeks earlier than they had opened in a slightly less sunny location. Now, we will can soak in the heavenly moonflower fragrance while we sit nearby on late summer evenings."

"text": "\"Petunias ( Petunia spp. and Petunia x hybrida) are simple-to-grow, colorful additions to a flowerbed. They're also favorites on the menu of several kinds of animals, with rabbits and deer topping the list of unwanted diners. One insect in particular is infamous for its attraction to petunias. Petunia plants are tender perennials, with hybrid varieties hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 10. Rabbits If your new petunias disappear overnight, the first among the usual suspects should be the rabbit. Rabbits apparently think of petunias as a salad ingredient. You have six options of varying degrees of effectiveness to keep rabbits from your petunias: The most effective method is to block rabbits from petunias by using a chicken wire fence with 1-inch-diameter or smaller holes. The fence should be least 2 feet high and buried at least 3 inches deep. Remove patches of weeds, piles of brush and stones or other debris that rabbits might use to hide."

"text": "Gardening Tips Outdoors & Gardening Gardening How to Grow Petunias that Will Bloom All Summer By Marie Iannotti Updated 09/26/17Share Pin Email Pixabay/keijj44/CC By 0Overview and Description of Petunias: Petunias are one of the most popular garden bedding flowers. They have wide trumpet shaped flowers and branching foliage that is hairy and somewhat sticky. Petunias are prolific bloomers, although some forms require deadheading to keep them going. However, most varieties will bloom throughout the summer, except in extreme heat. You can now find petunias in just about every color but true blue and with growing habits that mound in borders or trail down containers. Petunias are annual flowering plants, native to Argentina. Within the petunia family, there is great variety: single and double blooms, ruffled or smooth petals, striped, veined or solid colors, mounding and cascading habits and even some fragrance. Most of the petunias sold today are hybrids, developed for specific design purposes. The 2 oldest types of petunias are grandifloras and multifloras. Both are somewhat mounding."

"text": "How can I keep deer out of my garden?gwtamara January 1, 2013A compilation of suggestions from our readers: I've had pretty good luck using bird netting. It's been especially good if I stretch it over a pvc pipe framework (which I spray painted green to be less obvious). I use it over some raised bed planters. I've watched the deer react to it from inside my house. They apparently don't see as well as they hear and smell. They poke their nose into the netting and it startles them and they shy away. Anything protruding through the netting, of course gets trimmed off. It's fairly inexpensive but sort of a nuisance when you want to work in the bed, since you have to roll it back out of the way. It also keeps out the wild turkeys. But the gophers still come in from below."

"text": "All About Petunias Can I Grow Petunias? A definite Yes! Petunias are moderately easy to grow from seed, and extremely easy to grow from commercially grown seedlings. Use petunias everywhere there is sun. The low growing types are ideal for the front of a flower border, in planters near doorways and pools, or on patios. Tuck petunias in between evergreen shrubs to brighten the area. Use the 'Wave' petunias as groundcovers. Because they tend to attract lovely moths after dark, many homeowners plant petunias near landscape lighting located near a window or patio where they can enjoy the flowers and their visitors at night. While all types of petunias are great for window boxes and planters, the double flowered ones are best used in containers rather than in beds. Cascading petunias are ideal for hanging baskets."

"text": "By Judy Hedding Updated 05/17/17Share Pin Email•••The Mexican petunia is sometimes referred to in Phoenix as Purple Showers. The Mexican petunia is one of several desert plants that I recommend for people who want desert plants that are perennial (you need to plant them only once), hardy, low care, relatively drought resistant, easy to find, pretty cheap to buy, and provide lovely color many times during the year. See Mexican petunia pictures. The botanical name for Mexican Petunia or Purple Showers is Ruellia brittoniana. These are evergreen desert shrubs that flower periodically throughout the year. Mexican petunia bushes take full sun and are somewhat drought-tolerant, but they need a water source, such as a drip system. They don't get very tall — just 3 or 4 feet high — and are evergreen, with a dark green leaf. The flowers are purple or dark blue. The Mexican petunia plant is a fast grower, and is used successfully against block walls, or to surround and camouflage unpleasant looking electrical boxes and air conditioning units. Make sure you leave enough room on one side for repairs of the equipment if necessary."

Martin Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-408-70149-5.50034-8 Get rights and content Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the nature of the stigmatic exudate and its role in pollen germination. The stigma provides a physically and chemically suitable medium for pollen germination. The pollens do not germinate well on the stigmas of unrelated species. Phenolic substances occur in the exudates of stigmas of most if not all species. Although very little exudate can be washed off the stigma, stigmatic exudates do contain appreciable amounts of water. The stigmatic exudates cannot really be considered a sugary solution. The alcoholic extracts of stigmatic exudates impede germination and growth in vitro of pollen of Crinum asiaticum and Kiqelia pinnata, and phenolic compounds eluted from thin layers of silica gel after chromatography also inhibit germination. ROLE OF THE STIGMATIC EXUDATEThe stigma provides a physically and chemically suitable medium for pollen germination. On its surface substances produced within, the stigmatic exudate, react with substances from the pollen to convey, or not, the stimulation to germinate. Studies of pollen germination in vitro show that in some species the uptake of water is sufficient stimulation to initiate the germination process."

This happened in 1989 with the introduction of Texas Bluebonnet transplants. In 1990, Firebush (Hamelia patens) was introduced, followed by the Surefire tomato in 1992, Satsumas (Mandarin oranges) and the 'Texas Gold' columbine in 1993, the 'Merced' tomato in 1997, 'Blue Princess' verbena in 1998, the 'Gold Star Esperanza' in 1999, the 'VIP' and 'Laura Bush' petunias in 1999 and 2001 respectively, the 'Moy Grande' and 'Flare' perennial hibiscus in 2000, 'Belinda's Dream' rose in 2002 and 'Tomato 444' in 2004. The Texas Super Star* plant for the summer of 2005 will surely join this elite group of Super Star \"\"old-plants-revisited-and-revitalized\"\" category to become a million-dollar seller. It is the Texas Lilac Vitex*, or Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus). This tree is also known as Mexican lavender, monk's pepper, lilac chaste tree, hemp tree, sage tree, or Indian spice. It is a native of China and India, although long ago it became naturalized throughout certain areas of the United Stated. Records indicate that Vitex has been cultivated in the U. S. since 1670. For people living in the warmer parts of the South, the lilac chaste tree has been the shrub or small-flowering tree of choice to mimic the much beloved lilacs that are restricted to cooler regions. It grows best when planted in full sun and in a location that drains well."

During her childhood, she broke off contact with her sister and refused to have any contact with the wizarding world . She married a Muggle, Vernon Dursley and they had a son, Dudley. However, when Lily was murdered by Voldemort, Petunia became guardian of her nephew, Harry Potter, who was only an infant then. She neglected him for the most part, and confined him to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs (although she allowed him a room of his own after receiving his acceptance letters to Hogwarts). In 1991, when Rubeus Hagrid came and said that Harry would go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she became very angry. She and her family left their home in 1997 in order to be protected from Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. After the Second Wizarding War she had two grandchildren."

"text": "\"G is for GMOs — What are GMOs & Why Do Farmers Plant GMO Crops? By Janice Person on April 8, 2013 in ag awareness, Food & Farm I wasn’t sure I would want to tackle GMOs with a post, but another blogger who’s doing the A to Z Challenge ( Sydney Katt of author Sydney Katt.com) said she didn’t know much about agriculture and would appreciate knowing more. The comment reads: I would actually love to learn more about what people who know something about agriculture think about GMOs So I’ll provide my thoughts on GMOs (and a reminder that I write content for this blog on my personal time & it has no connection to my job). What are GMOs? There are a lot of sites that will give you a lot of different definitions. But I think I’ll go with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service definition: The term “genetically modified organism” (GMO) was originally used by the molecular biology scientific community to denote a living organism that had been genetically modified by inserting a gene from an unrelated species. Incorporation of genes from an unrelated species does not occur in nature through sexual reproduction and thus, various types of sophisticated technologies are used to accomplish this. These types of plants are generally called “transgenics”. Transgenic technology has been used in over 40 species of plants including corn, cotton, tomatoes, potatoes, soybeans, tobacco, rice, cranberries, papayas, raspberries, chrysanthemums, gladioli, petunias, poplars, spruce, and walnuts. In crop plants, the technology has generally been used to incorporate insect resistance or herbicide tolerance."

"text": "What's the Difference Between Annual and Perennial Plants? W hen you're choosing which types of plants you want in your yard, the very first decision you have to make is whether you want annuals, perennials or a combination of the two. What's the difference you ask? Annuals have to be planted every year, or annually. Perennials come up year after year after year, or perennially. Examples of annuals include petunias, pansies and impatiens. At garden stores, you can buy large trays of annuals, which are called flats. Flats contain 48 young blossoming plants, and they typically cost about $15. Garden stores usually place these toward the front of their displays in spring because they're bursting with color. They're also irresistible to avid gardeners who can't wait to get their hands in the dirt."

"text": "Do you love to watch hummingbirds fly around your garden? Learn which types of plants will attract hummingbirds and how to create a friendly environment for them. Hummingbird Facts Bee hummingbirds are the tiniest of all birds, weighing less than an ounce and measuring only 2 inches long. Their brightly-colored, iridescent feathers and quick movements make them appear as living sun catchers—hence their nickname, flying jewels. They have a unique ability to fly in any direction, even backward, with their wings beating up to a blurring 80 beats per second. Plus, they can hover in midair when sipping nectar from brightly–colored flowers with their long, slender beaks. While whizzing about the garden, hummingbirds expend so much energy that they must eat at least half their body weight each day to replace the calories that they burn up. This means eating almost constantly—from sunrise to sunset—and visiting over a thousand flowers every day. You can hear the call of a ruby-throated hummingbird here.

"text": "\"Home »Flowers Annual Plants for Wisconsin By Nancy Wagner; Updated September 21, 2017A wide variety of annuals grow in Wisconsin thanks to the state’s mild to warm summer climate. While annuals only live one year, they add plenty of color, texture and variety to summer gardens. These versatile plants work well as accent plants, to fill spaces between other plants or to provide masses of color in borders or flower beds. Annuals also work well when planted on top of fading bulbs. Zinnias These native plants from the southwest add lots of color thanks to their long-blooming flowers. Gardeners can choose from dwarf zinnias that reach just 6 inches in height, or they can plant zinnias that grow up to 4 feet tall. The flowers resemble rounded buttons ranging in size from small flowers to blooms 7 inches wide depending on the variety. Blooms vary in color including shades of red, yellow, white and orange. Zinnias thrive in full sun in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 10; the plants may be transplanted from containers or grown from seed sown in the spring after danger of frost has passed. The blooms also make great cut flowers."

"text": "Related Articles How to Keep Petunias From Getting Leggy How to Make Petunias Full How to Deadhead Petunia Flowers How to Revive Petunias Petunias (Petunia x hybrida) are a favorite annual flower for many gardeners due to their low maintenance and showy colors, although they will overwinter as an herbaceous perennial in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11. Featuring a trumpet-shaped flower, petunias are typically low growing and are suitable for use as a border planting or in a pot or hanging basket. To encourage additional blooms from petunias, old blooms should be removed through deadheading to encourage new blossoms instead of seed production.1Look for signs that petunia blooms are beginning to fade and die. Watch for fading colors and for the blooms to begin to wilt and hang downward from the normal upright trumpet shape.2Remove, or deadhead, the petunia plant by hand. Reach just behind the blossom and with your thumb and index finger, pinch the stem and pull the old bloom off the plant.3Continue working your way around each individual petunia, looking for dying blooms and remove them.4Remove old blooms with disinfected scissors or pruners if you do not deadhead by pinching. Snip the stem of the petunia plant just behind the bloom with the scissors or pruners.5Locate a node or point at least half way between the tip and base of the main stem where smaller stems or leaves branch. When petunias produce long stems with few leaves and stop producing flowers, trimming them back improves the overall look and promotes new growth and flower production. Make these pruning cuts in mid-summer.6Cut the petunia stem back just above the node, at least half way between the tip and base of the stem, using disinfected pruners. Work your way through the entire plant, following the same cutting process so the petunia is trimmed evenly.7Snip the stem back farther if the petunia stems are excessively long or if it is difficult to locate a node on the stem. Cut the petunia stems back to within 2 to 3 inches of the base, if necessary, since the plant will still be capable of generating new growth and blooms."

Even if it means she looks like a mad woman on a mission. \"\" I have been known to dash outside, often still in my robe and slippers, banging a wooden spoon on a pan lid to scare them away,\"\" she says. \"\" But the more deer-resistant plants I put in, the less often I have to do that. \"\" Clausen, a gardener in Westchester County, N. Y, lives where deer freely roam the neighborhood. She's not alone in her battle to keep Bambi out of the petunias and pansies because nationwide the deer population — different species in different parts of the country — has grown to more than 30 million, or 20 times what it was 10 years ago, according to wildlife experts. It's enough to frustrate even the best of gardeners who get disheartened when they see their favorite rose reduced to bare branches and hoof prints in the soil as telltale signs of what happened. \"\" Unless you can afford to install a deer fence 8 feet or higher, it's difficult to have a garden at all,\"\" says Clausen. She's a former horticulture editor for Country Living Gardener magazine and contributor to Brooklyn Botanic Garden's handbooks and Reader's Digest books, as well as other national magazines. \"\" My shrubs, perennials, annual and bulbs were being eaten year after year."

This will help them to conserve energy. “A sheltered garden will protect flowers from being tossed and blown, too. ”Butterflies need body temperatures of 85 to 100 degrees F to fly well. When temperatures are cooler, they warm up by basking in the sun."

"text": "By Peter Kopcinski Petunia Crazytunia® Pulse Posted by Calif_Sue Petunias have always offered nonstop summer bloom, but now you're more likely to find a color, size, and growth habit to suit your garden needs. New, vigorous trailing types and miniature-flowered types have rekindled gardeners' interest. Petunias are low-growing, bushy to spreading tender perennials usually grown as annuals. Their soft, thick leaves are slightly sticky to the touch. Trumpet-shaped flowers have a single set of plain-edged petals, or can be doubled, ruffled, or fringed and come in colors from light pink through dark red, and pale blue through deep purple. You'll also find white, cream, and even a new bright yellow. Many flowers have veins of accenting colors, or alternating stripes. Plants grow in all climates, preferring the warmth of summer; most die at or just below freezing. Gardeners in mild-winter climates know petunias as winter annuals or even short-lived perennials. Kinds of petunias Most modern petunias descend from two wild species from Argentina, a large white one (P. axillaris) and a violet-flowered one (P. integrifolia, formerly P. violacea)."

"text": "\"Ron Evans/Getty Images What makes annual plants \"\"annual\"\" and perennial plants \"\"perennial?\"\" Well, the answer lies in their respective life cycles. \"\" Life cycle\"\" means the amount of time it takes a plant to grow from seed and end up, finally, bearing seed of its own. Botanically speaking, annual plants complete their life cycle within one growing season (typically, from spring to fall): You place the seeds from last year's flowers in the ground in spring. New annual plants sprout from the seeds. With proper care, during the course of the summer, these produce flowers. Toward the end of the growing season (late summer or early fall), annual flowers yield seeds, signaling to the plants that their life cycle is complete. Having achieved their reproductive mission, they will die when the first hard frosts of autumn arrive. But in many cases, if you practice deadheading on them during the summer to foster reblooming, you can get a lot of value out of them as fall flowers in the early part of autumn. Deadheading, you might say, tricks a plant into blooming a little longer than its natural life cycle would call for."

They have wide trumpet shaped flowers and branching foliage that is hairy and somewhat sticky. Petunias are prolific bloomers, although some forms require deadheading to keep them going. However, most varieties will bloom throughout the summer, except in extreme heat. You can now find petunias in just about every color but true blue and with growing habits that mound in borders or trail down containers. Petunias are annual flowering plants, native to Argentina. Within the petunia family, there is great variety: single and double blooms, ruffled or smooth petals, striped, veined or solid colors, mounding and cascading habits and even some fragrance. Most of the petunias sold today are hybrids, developed for specific design purposes. The 2 oldest types of petunias are grandifloras and multifloras. Both are somewhat mounding."

Image: Shutterstock/Photo Iconix Growing your favorite plants in containers is the perfect way to add shape, colour and texture to your garden, patio or decking. They're also a great way to stop rambling plants from overgrowing, and they're ideal for small spaces like balconies or courtyards. Here we provide suggestions for plants to grow and offer tips to help you get the most from your containers. Pots and baskets Picking the right kind of container is crucial for keeping your plants alive and thriving. Image: Shutterstock/Tania Zbrodko Choose a container that's best suited to what you want to grow and where you're going to put it. Sturdy terracotta or clay pots, for example, are ideal for growing shrubs and perennials, but because they're porous, soil can dry out quickly, making them a less suitable for growing plants that like plenty of water. They're also heavy, making them a poor choice if you're likely to want to move the pot regularly, or if you're growing plants in containers on fragile decking. For plants that like moist soil, consider planting them into plastic, or glazed pots which are better at retaining water. Wooden planters help to keep the soil and roots at a stable temperature, and while stone pots make a fantastic architectural statement, they don't lend themselves to being moved once installed."

"text": "\"Dengarden » Gardening8 Awesome Annuals that Love Hot and Dry Conditions Updated on October 20, 2014Eco-Lhee more Contact Author Zinnia Elegans | Source Zinnia Native to Mexico, zinnias are easy to grow from seed. Sow them directly in the garden. Zinnias thrive in heat and when the weather is cool, they don't grow or flower very well. If you are sowing indoors make sure they have good air circulation to prevent mildew. Another way to prevent mildew is to soak the soil when watering instead of using a spray. Also be careful not to over-water these plants. This pretty plant grows from a dwarf 10 inches to cutting types of 3 feet. Available in a wide range of colors from white, red and yellow to orange, pink and plum. Blooms can be single or double, and they don't need to be pinched back or pruned. They prefer hot, dry weather once they are established and make perfect cut flowers, and another great thing, the more you cut the more the plants produce."

"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."

In 1979, a silver coin with the likeness of a Pharaoh Hound was minted to commemorate the breed as the National Dog of Malta. This is an elegant, graceful and friendly dog that excels at both sight and scent hunting and also makes a remarkable family companion. Pharaoh Hounds have huge upright ears and haunting amber eyes. They are known for their distinctive smile, as they tend to show their pearly whites when they are happy or otherwise excited. Another feature of this breed is that they do not develop a “doggy” smell, even when wet. The mature male Pharaoh Hound should stand 23 to 25 inches at the withers; bitches should be 21 to 24 inches in height. Adults typically weigh between 45 and 55 pounds. Their short, glossy coat ranges from rich tan to burnished chestnut, with some white markings being allowed. This is an easy-to-care-for breed, with an occasional brushing being all that typically is necessary."

From the earliest recorded peace treaty to ancient board games, find out 11 surprising facts about the Gift of the Nile. Cleopatra was not Egyptian. Universal History Archive/Getty Images Along with King Tut, perhaps no figure is more famously associated with ancient Egypt than Cleopatra VII. But while she was born in Alexandria, Cleopatra was actually part of a long line of Greek Macedonians originally descended from Ptolemy I, one of Alexander the Great’s most trusted lieutenants. The Ptolemaic Dynasty ruled Egypt from 323 to 30 B. C., and most of its leaders remained largely Greek in their culture and sensibilities. In fact, Cleopatra was famous for being one of the first members of the Ptolemaic dynasty to actually speak the Egyptian language. The ancient Egyptians forged one of the earliest peace treaties on record.

Egyptian paints were generally created from mineral sources, lending them unmatched vibrancy. Image source. The Ancient Egyptians’ use of color is a controversial topic, one which is quite often deeply misunderstood. It is a famous point of contention for those overly concerned with “race,” specifically Afrocentrists, some of whom often make claims to the effect of Egyptian deities being “literally Black” because some were depicted with black or reddish-brown skin in some instances, and that Ancient Egyptian society, rather than being a multi-ethnic Afro-Asiatic mosaic * society as has been clearly and repeatedly demonstrated to the point of intuitive ubiquity, were originally and uniformly “Black Africans” by virtue of one of the several names for their homeland: Kemet, or “Black Land.” However, such claims furthering specific racial ideologies grossly decontextualize and distort the Ancient Egyptians’ codified systems of metaphor and depiction. These depictions are not always literal or true to life, particularly where the representation of Divine, Otherworldly beings and sacred concepts are concerned. In this article, I will attempt to clear the air by explaining what each of the major colors meant to the Ancient Egyptians, and how those colors were used. THE COLORS AND THEIR MEANINGThe Ancient Egyptian system of color symbolism was mostly but not entirely consistent throughout all regions and time periods. Colors, meanings for colors, and artistic conventions relative to color were revised or added to this system at various points of Ancient Egyptian history."

Credit: Miguel Cabezón Shutterstock Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh of Egypt. She reigned between 1473 and 1458 B. C. Her name means “foremost of noblewomen. ”Her rule was relatively peaceful and she was able to launch a building program that would see the construction of a great temple at Deir el-Bahari at Luxor. She also launched a successful sea voyage to the land of Punt, a place located somewhere on the northeast coast of Africa, where they traded with the inhabitants, bringing back “marvels. ”Despite the apparent success of her reign, and a burial in the Valley of the Kings, her monuments would be defaced after her death, apparently by her co-ruler and step-son/nephew Thutmose III. The fact that a woman became pharaoh of Egypt was very unusual. “ In the history of Egypt during the dynastic period (3000 to 332 B. C.) there were only two or three women who managed to rule as pharaohs, rather than wielding power as the ‘great wife’ of a male king,” writes Egyptologist Ian Shaw in his book \"\"Exploring Ancient Egypt\"\" (Oxford University Press, 2003). Birth Hatshepsut, along with her sister Nefrubity, was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I and his wife Ahmose. Thutmose I was a warrior king who launched successful campaigns into Nubia and Syria, expanding the territory under Egyptian rule."

"text": "\"The Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was the political and religious leader of the people and held the titles 'Lord of the Two Lands’ and 'High Priest of Every Temple ’. The word 'pharaoh’ is the Greek form of the Egyptian pero or per-a-a, which was the designation for the royal residence and means `Great House'. The name of the residence became associated with the ruler and, in time, was used exclusively for the leader of the people. The early monarchs of Egypt were not known as pharaohs but as kings. The honorific title of `pharaoh' for a ruler did not appear until the period known as the New Kingdom (c.1570-c.1069 BCE). Monarchs of the dynasties before the New Kingdom were addressed as `your majesty' by foreign dignitaries and members of the court and as `brother' by foreign rulers; both practices would continue after the king of Egypt came to be known as a pharaoh. The Kingship is Established In 3150 BCE the First Dynasty appeared in Egypt with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by the king Menes (c. 3150 BCE, now believed to be Narmer ). Menes/Narmer is depicted on inscriptions wearing the two crowns of Egypt, signifying unification, and his reign was thought to be in accordance with the will of the gods; but the office of the king itself was not associated with the divine until later. During the Second Dynasty of Egypt (2890-2670 BCE) King Raneb (also known as Nebra) linked his name with the divine and his reign with the will of the gods. Following Raneb, the rulers of the later dynasties were equated with the gods and with the duties and obligations due to those gods."

"text": "\"Headdresses of the Ancient Egyptian Deitiesby Caroline Seawright The ancient Egyptian deities tended to each have a distinctive headdress, which can often be used to tell the gods and goddesses apart. The headdress seems to have been strongly linked to the attributes of the particular deity, giving the Egyptians a visual clue as to the powers of the god or goddess. This, then, lead to the mix up of headdresses when different deities took over the attributes and powers of another deity. To the Egyptians it made sense - they could easily tell what the god was worshiped for - but it makes things difficult to identify deities today. Here is a list of the most common headdresses or crowns of the deities of ancient Egypt: Amentet Amentet, the Personification of the West, was depicted as wearing the standard of the west. The standard is usually a half circle sitting on top of two poles of uneven length, the longer of which is tied to her head by a headband. Often a hawk or an ostrich feather is seen sitting on top of the standard. Hathor, the 'Lady of the West', is often depicted as wearing this headdress - in this form, she is known as Hathor -Amentet. Amen Amen is usually depicted as a man wearing a headdress with two tall plumes rising from a short crown. As Amen-Ra, the sun disk is added between the plumes, showing his connection to the sun."

For water, the Egyptians had to rely on the Nile River (NYL). They drank from it, bathed in it, and used it for farming, cooking, and cleaning. The river provided fish and supported plants and animals. To the Egyptians, then, the Nile was a precious gift. They praised it in a song: \"\"Hail O Nile, who comes from the earth, who comes to give life to the people of Egypt.\"\" Even today, the Nile inspires awe. It is the world's longest river, flowing north from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea."

"text": "Egypt: The End of a Civilisation By Dr Aidan Dodson Last updated 2011-02-17The world of ancient Egypt continues to fascinate even today, but we still don't know why it foundered. What was it that brought this glittering and mighty civilisation to an end? On this page Defining the end point Signs of trouble Wars Invasion A mere province End of the old ways Find out more Print this page Defining the end point The civilisation of ancient Egypt can be traced back in recognisable form to around 3000 BC. It was to endure for over three millennia and it is perhaps the most instantly recognisable of all ancient cultures today. The question of how it came to an end is a perennially popular one, but actually quite difficult to answer, as it is by no means agreed as to what constitutes 'the end' of Egypt as an ancient civilisation....the demise of the hieroglyphs was a manifestation of the decline and fall of the ancient religion... Is it the definitive end of native Egyptian rule (at least until the 20th century)? In this case the answer would be the flight of King Nectanebo II in 342 BC. Is it Egypt's absorption into the Roman Empire in 30 BC? Or the last appearance of the ancient hieroglyphic script just before AD 400? Or the closure of the last pagan temples in the sixth century? In many ways the last suggestion is perhaps the most appropriate, as in all the other cases, the core religious and artistic values of the country continued on, albeit increasingly debased and under pressure."

They built incredible structures, called pyramids, which were so well-built that they remain in the desert of Egypt today. In this article, we will explore some interesting facts about these wondrous pyramids including why they were built, who built them and what we can learn about them.1. The pyramids helped the dead into the afterlife Afterlife by Keoni Cabral cc2.0The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids as tombs for their kings, who were called pharaohs. They were designed and built to protect the dead pharaoh and help him on his journey to the afterlife. The pharaoh’s family would often be buried alongside the king. The ancient Egyptians were very religious and believed in up to 2000 gods and goddesses. They thought of death as a transition into a better world, and that only after death could people fulfill their potential. Pharaohs were thought to become gods in the next world."

good cause. While our relationship in the past has often been exploitative because of the protective nature of dogs, today dogs are popular simply for their companionship value. For this reason, today smaller dogs are even more popular than bigger dogs, probably because of their charm and cute appearances. Cavachon dogs are one such breed and they measure from 12 to 16 inches in height among the males and the same for females. The weight for both male and female Cavachon dogs will range from 10 lbs to about 20 lbs. The Cavachon is a cross breed between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise. A lot of people find the Cavachon attractive largely due to the expressive eyes the dog has. These Cavachon dogs are energetic, lovable and highly intelligent. They make great companions for little children and are suitable as house pets. They also like to play and interact with other pets and animals that could be around one’s house."

Pheromones are odorous substances that are released on the skin of mammals (including humans), that can affect social and sexual behavior of other animals from the same species. They have been an interesting topic of debate among scientists and skeptics for some time now, and it is still not entirely conclusive. They often conjure up serious questions about the existence of such things, and whether it is a real or imagined phenomena. In this article, I will cover the main bases of current research on the topic, from a scientific point of view, as well as speculative conclusions as an enthusiast of several years. Speculative conclusions are made from what I can gather about them from research, as well as testing individual products & molecules and observing their effects.

"text": "\"Breeding for Pet Owners - Estrus and Mating in Dogs By Ernest Ward, DVMBreeding, Care & Wellness When does a female dog first come into \\\"\"heat\\\"\"? Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into estrus or \"\"heat\"\" earlier and some females can have their first \"\"heat\"\" cycle as early as four months of age. On the other hand, the large and giant breeds can be up to two years old before they come into heat for the first time. For many dogs, the first heat is “silent” or does not have clinical signs associated with estrus. Additionally, many dogs’ first estrus cycle is unlikely to allow successful breeding, thus the standard practice of waiting until the second or third heat cycle before breeding. How often do female dogs come into heat? On average, this occurs about twice a year or every six months, although it varies from dog to dog. When cycling first begins, there may be a great deal of variability in the time between cycles. This is normal."

This signal may be in the form of an action potential if the chemoreceptor is a neuron (nerve cell), [1] or in the form of a neurotransmitter that can activate a nearby nerve fiber if the chemosensor is a specialized sensory receptor cell, such as the taste receptor in a taste bud [2] [3] or in an internal peripheral chemoreceptor such as the carotid body (ex, in chemotherapy).

Honestly Naked December 5, 2012 8 Comments1 Vote I know this news may stink, literally, but the smell of a person’s natural pheromones can be a make or break point in a relationship. I once dated someone who had almost everything I could ask for, but the biggest problem in the relationship was that our pheromones simply did not mesh well together, thus I wasn’t sexually attracted to him. I tried numerous ways to get past it like suggesting he wear cologne, or trying to hook up right after he showered, but when push came to shove, our relationship stunk. Pheromones are scented sex hormones. There is a lot of research about pheromones, which states that women are attracted to the natural scent of a man. When I say natural scent I mean his sweat. It seems gross, but it is his sex hormones that we’re attracted to and vise versa. Have you ever dated someone and you noticed the way he smells after the gym, or a long night on the town bar hopping? Or the way he smells when you wake up next to him or the way he smells after some good love-making; I don’t think there is a midway point, you either like it or you hate it."

For the fly, the banana is not only a fantastic food source, but also fertile ground for finding mates. Sure enough, a virgin female is already feasting on the banana peel. He approaches her, taps her with his forelegs, and flutters his wings to sound a staccato love song, all in the hopes of securing her as a mate. But there is more to this scene than meets the eye or ear. The success of this courtship ritual critically depends on a single substance: an organic ester, 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (c VA). CVA is found on the male’s cuticle, or exoskeleton, and in his ejaculatory bulb, a structure similar in anatomy and function to the human prostate. To mature female fruit flies, c VA is an aphrodisiac that induces their receptivity to an approaching male. To males, however, c VA is an antiaphrodisiac, even capable of inducing aggression."

"text": "Although humans and other primates can be ready for sex at virtually all times, among most lower animals sexual activity is motivated largely by hormones (from ovaries or testes) plus instincts. Most commonly, when the female ovulates, her sex glands release the hormone estrogen into the bloodstream, making her sexually receptive during the period referred to as estrus. Courtship in animals is the behavioral process whereby sexually mature individuals of a species become mating pairs. Often sensory cues in courtship attract a potential mate. Chemical odor cues often serve as sexual attractants in animals. Pheromones are chemical substances secreted by an animal that are used in communication with other members of the same species. We know that pheromones play an important role in the sexual behavior of lower animals. For example, the female cockroach produces a pheromone that attracts males from great distances. As the male cockroach approaches and his antennae touch the female, he begins to exhibit precopulatory behavior. Among mammals, many males have scent glands that secrete pheromonal substances that attract females."

"text": "How to enhance your pheromoneswritten by Carla Oates0SHARESP heromones are powerful “communication chemicals” made by our bodies that may impact the behavior of the receiving individual. These clever chemicals are produced in both animals and plants and they come in many forms: from alarm pheromones to food trail pheromones and sex pheromones. Both men and women produce pheromones of different varieties and they are basically made from a variety of compounds including amino acids and proteins, most commonly released through sweat. Our pheromones are said to be emitted at higher levels when the body is healthy and functioning well. Modern practices, such as over-washing, shaving and dousing our skins in synthetic fragranced cosmetics, remove or hide our own natural scents. Washing is important, of course, for obvious reasons and, let’s face it, not all natural scents are pleasant. However, over-zealous washing is not only bad for the skin (robbing it of important lipids) but may inhibit your scent print. With many fragrances released on the market recently containing synthetic forms of human pheromones, these chemicals are highly sought-after. Androstenone, for example, is a chemical produced in the armpits of men and is being widely used in these new “pheromone perfumes”. However, this chemical is known to trigger aggression in animals, so why would you want more, especially if you produce your own only to wash it away?"

"text": "\"1) Lust Lust is driven by initial physical attraction and flirting. This stage can depend on characteristics such as a symmetrical face and proportionate body dimensions. Flirting can include gazing into the eyes, touching, and mirroring in body language. The two chemicals that surface during this stage are the sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) and pheromones. In the animal world, PHEROMONES are individual scent \"\"prints\"\" found in urine or sweat that dictate sexual behavior and attract the opposite sex. The existence of human pheromones was discovered in 1986 by scientists at the Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia and its counterpart in France. They found these chemicals in human sweat.2) Falling in love - Attraction The romantic or passionate love is characterized by euphoria when things are going well, and terrible mood swings when they're not. When you fall in love you may have many physical symptoms: lose of appetite, can't sleep, can't concentrate, palms sweat, butterflies in stomach... This is due to surging brain chemicals called monoamines:- DOPAMINE: it's commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate us to do certain activities. It's released by naturally-rewarding experiences, such as sex or food. Some research studies show that when female rodents were injected dopamine in the presence of a male rodent, the female will pick him out of a crowd later.- PHENYLETHYLAMINE: It's a natural amphetamine like the known drug and can cause the same stimulation effects."

"text": "Human Pheromones: The Science Behind the Scent of Attraction Osmology, or the science of smell research, has determined that men and women are attracted to each other via selective chemical messengers called pheromones. These are arousal-stimulating chemicals that signal sexual desire, sexual readiness, hormone levels, fertility and the deepest emotions. When released by the body, certain pheromones can work like magic to attract members of the opposite sex. The term pheromone was coined by two hormone researchers, Karlson and Luscher, who created the word from two Greek origins: pherein, meaning to bring or transfer; and hormon, meaning to excite. Pheromones are primarily perceived through olfactory sensors, and studies suggest they are excreted by several areas of the body, including the skin, sweat glands, saliva, and urine. Pheromones are linked to some of the most crucial stages in our lives … from breast feeding to mate selection. Studies have shown, for example, that breast-fed newborns are able to distinguish between a breast pad worn by its mother and one worn by a stranger. In a crib, the baby will turn quickly away from the unfamiliar breast pad … and turn towards his mother’s. 1Even your soul mate must have the right pheromones …You may even pick your soul mate by subconsciously reacting to pheromones that transmit their genetic compatibility. You may be familiar with the landmark white tee-shirt test in which women consistently preferred the odors of tee-shirts that had been worn by strangers who were genetically compatible with them … and were actually turned off by those who were genetically incompatible."

"text": "\"What are pheromones? A pheromone is a substance emitted by one organism that elicits a behavioral or physiological response in another organism of the same species and (for most pheromones) of the opposite sex. ( Ben-Ari, 1998) This response, in order for the substance to be classified as a pheromone should be innate and should not require specific learning. Pheromones are carried in the air and received via the vomeronasal organ (VNO from now on) in the nose. The VNO connects to the accessory olfactory bulb behind the nose, which leads to the amygdala (for emotion) and the thalamus (for distribution to the rest of the brain). This is completely different from the regular olfactory system, which goes through the main olfactory bulb. Pheromones are believed to have similar properties as odorants, which are the chemicals detected as odors. The first pheromone found was a sex attractant in silkworm moths. This led to the belief that pheromones are only used on the opposite sex, which we now know to be false. There are two types of pheromones: releaser and primer pheromones."

Two forms are found in insects—α-ecdysone and β-ecdysone; ecdysones of unknown biological significance are also present in plants. Unlike vertebrates, insects cannot synthesize cholesterol, and they thus must obtain it from their food. Evidence concerning the mode of action of ecdysone indicates that it has a direct action upon the synthesis of the ribonucleic acid ( RNA) that controls protein synthesis in the cell. The distinction in insects between molts that occur within the larval stage of development and those that result in the transformation of larvae to other stages (pupae, adults) in the life cycle is controlled by another hormone, called juvenile hormone, which is secreted in epithelial glands, called the corpora allata, near the brain. The hormone controls the appearance of juvenile characters in larval stages, presumably by suppressing the activity of genes concerned with the expression of adult characters; reduction in the amount of or absence of the hormone at later molts results in the appearance of mature characters. The hormone nevertheless may continue to function in adults and often is necessary for normal egg production in females. Juvenile hormone is a lipoidal (fatlike) compound of similar structure from all sources. Many synthetic compounds mimic its effect, as do certain natural products—e.g., substances in the balsam fir tree ( Abies )."

See also Dr. Cutler's invited 1996 article for Menopause Management, Oophorectomy at Hysterectomy After 40? A Practice that Does Not Withstand Scrutiny A Message From Dr. Cutler: When I was working at the University of Pennsylvania with my mentor, Professor of Gynecology, Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology Dr. Celso-Ramon Garcia, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I asked him why healthy ovaries were routinely being removed at hysterectomy in woman over 40 years of age. He told me that ovarian cancer risks caused medical schools to teach ovariectomy as a good medical practice. I asked how often do women get ovarian cancer? And is there any relationship between a non cancer condition in the uterus, and the likelihood of subsequently developing ovarian cancer? Dr. Garcia had been taught that there was evidence to suggest that women were better off having healthy ovaries removed while a surgeon had easy access to them during a hysterectomy. We decided to investigate and our search of published papers led us to conclude that the “evidence” had been based on a grammatical error. The literature had been misquoted."

A fanning honeybee exposes Nasonov's gland (white – at tip of abdomen) releasing pheromone to entice swarm into an empty hive A pheromone (from Ancient Greek φέρω phero \"\"to bear\"\" and hormone, from Ancient Greek ὁρμή \"\" impetus \"\") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside the body of the secreting individual, to impact the behavior of the receiving individuals. [ 1] There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Pheromones are used from basic unicellular prokaryotes to complex multicellular eukaryotes. [ 2] Their use among insects has been particularly well documented. In addition, some vertebrates, plants and ciliates [3] communicate by using pheromones.

Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to body or life. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response ), which in extreme cases of fear ( horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis. In humans and animals, fear is modulated by the process of cognition and learning. Thus fear is judged as rational or appropriate and irrational or inappropriate. An irrational fear is called a phobia. Psychologists such as John B. Watson, Robert Plutchik, and Paul Ekman have suggested that there is only a small set of basic or innate emotions and that fear is one of them."

Elekonich a Gene E. Robinson b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-1910 (00)00101-3 Get rights and content Abstract The concepts of hormone organization and activation provide a framework for thinking about the influence of hormones on development, brain, and behavior in vertebrates. There is good evidence for activational effects of hormones on the nervous system and behavior in insects, but organizational effects are almost never discussed in the insect literature. This paper explores the utility of the concepts of hormonal organization and activation of behavior in insects. We describe the two concepts as developed from studies of vertebrates, review some insect examples that appear to fit this classification scheme, and consider how explicit use of the concept of organization might benefit studies of the insect brain and behavior. Previous article Next article Keywords Behavior Juvenile hormone Ecdysone Activational effects Organizational effects The connected concepts of organization and activation, common to the vertebrate neuroendocrine literature, serve as a framework for understanding the influence of hormones on development, brain, and behavior. There is good evidence for activational effects of hormones on the nervous system and behavior in insects, but they are usually called releaser or modifier effects ( Truman and Riddiford, 1974 ). Organizational effects are almost never discussed in the insect literature (c.f. Truman 1992, 1995) and the term is not even mentioned in the most recent authoritative review of insect hormones ( Nijhout, 1994 ). There are, however, several examples of hormone-mediated polymorphisms and polyphenisms that imply organizational effects (reviewed in Applebaum and Heifetz, 1999; Nijhout, 1999a,b ). Sometimes they are termed morphogenic or primer effects ( Truman and Riddiford, 1974 )."

"text": "\"Philodendron is poisonous to dogs. They might be predominantly carnivores, but dogs also like to nibble on plants in the house and in the yard. The problem is, dogs occasionally nibble on plants like philodendron, which contains a substance called calcium oxalate that is toxic to them. If your dog has ingested philodendron, call your veterinarian or contact animal poison control immediately. Popular Home Plant Philodendron is a climbing plant that comes in several varieties, all of which are toxic to dogs and cats. Most varieties of philodendron have shiny, dark green, teardrop-shaped leaves, though some varieties have large broad leaves that are split into several \"\"fingers.\"\" Philodendrons grow well in the warm indoors, which makes them popular decorative plants. But that also is what makes them tempting targets for puppies and curious dogs. First Symptoms Symptoms of philodendron poisoning in dogs begins with a severe burning sensation in the lips, tongue and throat that may cause dogs to paw at their faces. Philodendron poisoning also is likely to include excessive drooling and foaming at the mouth."

"text": "\"Home »Produce How to Care for Philodendron Plants By Barbara Fahs; Updated September 21, 2017You might know this plant as the “split leaf” philodendron. It’s a very common and popular houseplant because it lives for years with practically no care, aside from occasional watering. The many species in the philodendron genus are native to jungles in Central and South America, where they climb trees and thrive on the humidity, low light and rich humus that makes up the soil. If you provide a support stake or small trellis, many species of philodendron will climb and fill a corner or unattractive wall in your home with lush, tropical foliage. Caring for Philodendrons Transplant your philodendron into a large, decorative pot 2 to 3 times the size of the nursery pot. Use any potting soil designed for houseplants. Be sure to place the pot on a plant saucer. Water your newly transplanted philodendron at least once a week until you see signs of new growth, then allow the soil to dry out before you water it again. Usually, watering a philodendron every two weeks is sufficient. Water even less during the winter."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Marie Hofer Related To: Plants Healthy Home and Home Safety Pets Castor bean The seeds of Ricinus communis are extremely toxic. Lots of dogs and some cats chew on plants. Most of the time, there's no ill effect. But some plants — such as elephant ear and yew — can be extremely toxic to pets. Other plants that are much less poisonous create toxicity issues only when large quantities are eaten. With all of these plants, the effect depends on the variety of plant and the size and weight of the animal and the amount consumed. Effects can range from mild oral irritation to poisoning. If you have a young puppy who nibbles at everything, you'll want to either get rid of a problematic plant or make sure that pet and plant don't come in contact."

"text": "�Ornamental Plant Susceptibility to Damage by Deer in Florida 1Martin B. Main, Joe Schaefer and Ginger M. Allen 2General Comments Deer have many qualities we admire and value. Deer also may become a nuisance when their feeding behaviors damage ornamental plants and gardens and cause aggravation, inconvenience, and financial costs to property owners. As human dwellings continue to increase in rural areas where deer occur, the incidence of deer-human conflicts also will increase. This is particularly true where human developments replace native habitats and reduce the availability of natural foods preferred by deer. In these instances, deer may quickly become accustomed to feeding upon gardens, ornamental plantings, groves, and nurseries. Damage from deer may be reduced by fencing and the use of chemical repellents (see Main, Schaefer, and Allen, 1999), but a simpler, less expensive, and generally more effective alternative is to landscape with plants that deer do not like to eat. Deer will feed upon a variety of vegetation including weeds and flowers, grasses, trees, shrubs, vines, and fruits and vegetables. Deer do not eat all plants, however, and diet is influenced by plant qualities such as taste and digestibility, and individual preferences among animals. Where deer densities are high, even plants that are normally avoided may be eaten. This IFAS extension fact sheet identifies some of the ornamental plants commonly planted in Florida and their susceptibility to damage from deer."

"text": "Cats > Symptoms9 Common Causes of Cat Vomiting Cat vomiting is always a concern to pet owners who wonder if it indicates something serious. Unless you see your cat vomiting bile or blood, however, most causes of cat vomit are relatively easy to treat. Some will require professional treatment by a veterinarian. Here are some of the common causes of vomiting in cats. Hairballs Probably the number one cause of cat vomiting is hairballs. When your cat grooms and cleans himself, the fur goes through his intestinal tract and generally comes out in the stool. But sometimes cats have tender stomach and you'll hear the hacking cough that's a precursor to them vomiting a hairball. Unless your cat coughs up hairballs more than twice a month, there's no cause for alarm. You could give him food with hairball remedy or try a separate hairball cream sold by veterinarians and pet supply companies. Eating Too Fast Your cat may be an aggressive eater, or may be stressed out by competition for the food bowl in multi-cat households."

More than 700 plants contain toxic substances that may harm dogs or cats if ingested. Signs of poisoning can be mild to severe and in some cases, pets can even die. Most houseplants have multiple names, so it's important to confirm that the plants you own or plan to purchase are not toxic to your pet.« » Spotting Toxic Plants Thumbnails1 of 14« Back Next »Alamy Asparagus Fern The asparagus fern (also called emerald feather, emerald fern, sprengeri fern, plumosa fern or lace fern) is toxic to dogs and cats. The toxic agent in the plant is sapogenin — a steroid found in a variety of plants. If a dog or cat ingests the berries of this plant, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain can occur. Allergic dermatitis (skin inflammation) can occur if an animal is repeatedly exposed.

"text": "Toxic Plants for Pets It’s a lot of fun to throw a stick and have the dog fetch it to bring it back or to pick a long, strappy leaf to tease the cat but unfortunately, not all plants are safe and some are even deadly. It’s not necessary to eradicate every plant in the garden but being aware of which are the dangerous ones will help keep them safe. Of course every house benefits from plants in the garden and around the home and who doesn’t enjoy having a few vases of flowers in the house. Inquisitive pets and especially puppies and kittens that are teething, love to explore and will, if given the chance, chew on branches and leaves and because it feels good will probably ignore any bitter taste that the plant might have. The level of toxicity in plants ranges from being deadly to causing stomach pains to mild rashes and mouth ulcers. The signs evident in a pet of toxic poisoning can also vary but the things to look out for start with irritation to the mouth or skin, depression, lethargy and lack of appetite but of course vomiting, convulsions and spasms require emergency veterinary care. Pets can be discouraged from chewing on plants by giving them plenty of other more appropriate things to chew on such as bones, ropes and chew toys. Using a fetch toy or rope is still lots of fun and a young dog should be taught to associate that with a game instead of every stick or bulb in the garden. Be particularly diligent when working in the garden whether planting or pruning, especially if cats and dogs like to play around you. It wouldn’t take them long to pick up a stem from a toxic plant or a bulb that hasn’t yet been planted and because you are busy working, you may not be aware until they begin to show signs of being poisoned."

Poison-proof your home today with our list of some common poisonous plants. By Deb Wiley5 did it Pin Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Printcontinue reading below Have no fear of growing plants in your home; most are perfectly safe. But if you have inquisitive children and pets who may want to chew or crush plants, there are a few varieties to avoid: the handful of plants that can cause allergic skin irritations, stomach upsets, or worse. Some plants are more toxic than others. The good news is that most must be consumed in large quantities to cause any real damage. Often the bitter taste repels a child or pet and stops them from ingesting much of the plant. If you suspect that a child or pet has been poisoned by eating or touching a houseplant, call your doctor or veterinarian, go to an emergency room, or call the 24-hour National Capital Poison Center at 800-222-1222.

Effects range from mild to severe depending on the type of plant and the quantity consumed. Some plants will only cause slight stomach upset, while others can cause seizures, coma or even death. Ideally, toxic plants on your own property should be removed. Houseplants are a bit easier to control; simply do not keep toxic plants inside your home and you have removed the risk. If you are planning to get new plants or flowers, research them ahead of time to learn whether or not they are toxic. Find out what plants and flowers may be poisonous to dogs with the following list of common toxic plants and flowers. Please note that this is not a complete list. If you have a particular plant in mind for your home or yard, you should thoroughly research it first. If you suspect your pet has come into contact with a potential toxin, please contact your vet or animal poison control immediately."

"text": "Easy-to-Grow Satin Pothosby Marie Harrison (can2grow) December 27, 2013Add to Bookmarks One of my favorite plants is satin pothos. While it is easy to grow and beautiful in my home, it took lots of research to discover the plant's true identity. At first I thought the plant was a philodendron. Its growth habit is much like Philodendron hederaceum, so it made sense to me that it was a satin leaf form of philodendron. However, I could not substantiate this. Then I figured it could be an Epipremnum because of its similar growth habit and leaf shape, as well as its common name. It is, I have discovered, neither a Philodendron nor an Epipremnum, but a Scindapsus. It turns out that I was not the only person confused, for misinformation about this plant abounds. Probably the common name, satin pothos, led to some of the confusion. The pothos available in nurseries is usually Epipremnum aureus."

This occurs when clients use \"\"spot on\"\" flea control products containing permethrin and labeled for use in dogs on their cat. This must be a fairly easy mistake to make because we see two or three cats a year with permethrin toxicosis. This causes severe tremoring, salivation and seizures in cats. It is unclear what percentage of cats who are treated with permethrin based flea products die from the exposure but some do. Most cats will respond to treatment with muscle relaxants such as methocarbamol and diazepam (Valium Rx). There is no specific antidote for permethrin poisoning. Thoroughly washing the permethrin off the hair and skin if it is accidentally applied can prevent poisoning and doing this helps even after clinical symptoms of permethrin poisoning have occurred. Once in a while small dogs develop muscular weakness after permethrin products are applied but this is a transient effect and dogs are generally not considered to be as susceptible to permethrin toxicosis as cats are. The best way to avoid this poisoning is to read the label of all flea control products before applying them to any pet, but especially before applying them to a cat."

It is possible to recover from severe calcium oxalate poisoning, however, in most cases permanent liver, and kidney damage may have already occurred. Additional Information: One of the more common toxins, insoluble calcium oxalate crystals can be found in many popular houseplants and ornamentals. The vast majority of these plants belong to the Araceae family and all cause a similar clinical syndrome. Within the Aracae, genera such as Alocasia, Arisaema, Caladium, Colocasia, Dieffenbachia and Philodendron contain calcium oxalate crystals in the form of raphides. The Araceae family is one of the most diverse in the plant kingdom, comprising over 3700 different species. When consumed, these plants cause an intense burning sensation of the mouth, throat, lips and tongue; excessive drooling, choking, gagging and potentially serious swelling of the throat that could cause difficulty or the inability to swallow (dysphagia). Symptoms can occur immediately or up to 2 hours after ingestion and may continue to occur for up to two weeks after ingestion."

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

"text": "Phobias A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder that describes an excessive and irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation. Phobias involve intense fear surrounding an object or situation that realistically poses little or no real danger. They are different from common fears in that the associated anxiety is so strong it interferes with daily life and the ability to function normally. People suffering from phobias may go to extreme lengths to avoid encountering or experiencing the feared object or situation. Though many people with phobias realize that their worry is unrealistic or unwarranted, feelings of fear and anxiety persist and seem unmanageable, leaving sufferers feeling out of control. The American Psychiatric Association identifies three types of phobias: Specific Phobia: Going to extreme lengths to avoid an activity or object because of fear of danger or harm. Examples: Fear of heights, snakes, spiders Social Phobia: A fear of being humiliated or underperforming in social situations. Also known as social anxiety disorder. Examples: Fear of public speaking, public restrooms, eating in front of others Agoraphobia: Feeling discomfort in situations where escape is difficult or help is not readily available. Examples: Fear of leaving the house, public transportation, small spaces A few of the most common specific phobias include: Arachnophobia: fear of spiders Ophidiophobia: fear of snakes Acrophobia: fear of heights Cynophobia: fear of dogs Astraphobia: fear of thunder and/or lightning Trypophobia: fear of holes Aerophobia: fear of flying Xenophobia: fear of the unknown or unfamiliar (such as foreigners)Claustrophobia: fear of small spaces Glossophobia: fear of public speaking Emetophobia: fear of vomiting Symptoms Symptoms of phobias are similar to those of a panic attack."

The good news is that like all other symptoms of anxiety, these symptoms are utterly harmless and always pass!Anxiety has been broken down into various labels: Social anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) etc. This web-site deals with getting over anxiety in all its forms, and doesn’t find labels such as these particularly relevant. The important thing is to go with what you feel and be aware of it. Panic Attacks Panic attacks are usually characterised by sudden bursts of (usually) unexpected fear. The symptoms can include palpitations (racing heart), light-headedness, dizziness, vertigo or lack of balance, and an overwhelming need to escape. Commonly hyperventilation (normally very rapid shallow breathing) is present during a panic attack. The good news is that like all symptoms of panic attacks, these symptoms are completely harmless and always pass!So what’s the difference between anxiety and a panic attack? Well, for some sufferers the difference might not be that great."

Panic is defined as extreme and unreasonable fear and anxiety. According to the handbook used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fourth edition, text revision, also known as the DSM-IV-TR , patients with agoraphobia are typically afraid of such symptoms as feeling dizzy, having an attack of diarrhea, fainting, or \"\"going crazy. \"\" The word \"\"agoraphobia\"\" comes from two Greek words that mean \"\"fear\"\" and \"\"marketplace.\"\" The anxiety associated with agoraphobia leads to avoidance of situations that involve being outside one's home alone, being in crowds, being on a bridge, or traveling by car or public transportation. Agoraphobia may intensify to the point that it interferes with a person's ability to take a job outside the home or to carry out such ordinary errands and activities as picking up groceries or going out to a movie. Description The close association in agoraphobia between fear of being outside one's home and fear of having panic symptoms is reflected in DSM-IV-TR classification of two separate disorders: panic disorder (PD) with agoraphobia, and agoraphobia without PD. PD is essentially characterized by sudden attacks of fear and panic. There may be no known reason for the occurrence of panic attacks; they are frequently triggered by fear-producing events or thoughts, such as driving, or being in an elevator. PD is believed due to an abnormal activation of the body's hormonal system, causing a sudden \"\"fight-or-flight\"\" response."

Individuals who suffer from this phobia fear romantic love or forming emotional attachments of any sort. As far as unusual phobias are concerned; Philophobia certainly ranks high in the list. Often this phobia is known to have cultural or religious roots, where the person may have been committed to an arranged marriage and hence fears falling in love. This phobia is more common in women than in men. The condition can greatly affect one’s life to an extent that it becomes difficult to commit or form healthy relationships. Such people tend to live their lives in solitude. It is believed that England’s Queen Elizabeth might have been a philophobic.

"title": "http://www.phobialist.com/treat.html\nTreatment for Phobias",
"text": "\"Treatment for Phobias Simple or specific phobias have been quite effectively treated with behavior therapy (Marks, 1987). The behaviorists involved in classical conditioning techniques believe that the response of phobic fear is a reflex acquired to non-dangerous stimuli. The normal fear to a dangerous stimulus, such as a poisonous snake, has unfortunately been generalized over to non-poisonous ones as well. If the person were to be exposed to the non-dangerous stimulus time after time without any harm being experienced, the phobic response would gradually extinguish itself. Also, this assumes that the person does not also experience the dangerous stimulus during that same extended period of time. In other words, one would have to come across ONLY non-poisonous snakes for a prolonged period of time for such extinction to occur. This is not likely to occur naturally, so behavior therapy sets up phobic treatment involving exposure to the phobic stimulus in a safe and controlled setting. Foa and Kozak (1986) call this exposure treatment, so called because the patient is exposed to the phobic stimulus as part of the therapeutic process. One simple form of exposure treatment is that of flooding, where the person is immersed in the fear reflex until the fear itself fades away. Some phobic reactions are so strong that flooding must be done through one's imagining the phobic stimulus, rather than engaging the phobic stimulus itself."

Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and take a medical, psychiatric and social history. He or she may use the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. Treatment The best treatment for specific phobias is a form of psychotherapy called exposure therapy. Sometimes your doctor may also recommend other therapies or medication. Understanding the cause of a phobia is actually less important than focusing on how to treat the avoidance behavior that has developed over time. The goal of treatment is to improve quality of life so that you're no longer limited by your phobias. As you learn how to better manage and relate to your reactions, thoughts and feelings, you'll find that your anxiety and fear are reduced and no longer in control of your life. Treatment is usually directed at one specific phobia at a time. Psychotherapy Talking with a mental health professional can help you manage your specific phobia."

It is occasionally referred to as aichmophobia or belonephobia, although these terms may also refer to a more general fear of sharply pointed objects. It has also been referred to as trypanophobia, although the origin and proper usage of that term is highly controversial.

Phobic level responses to injections cause sufferers to avoid inoculations, blood tests, and in the more severe cases, all medical care. It is estimated that at least 10% of American adults have a fear of needles, and it is likely that the actual number is larger, as the most severe cases are never documented due to the tendency of the sufferer to avoid all medical treatment. [ 1]Evolutionary basis [ edit]According to Dr. James G. Hamilton, author of the pioneering paper on needle phobia, it is likely that the form of needle phobia that is genetic has some basis in evolution, given that thousands of years ago humans who meticulously avoided stab wounds and other incidences of pierced flesh would have a greater chance of survival. [ 1]The discussion of the evolutionary basis of needle phobia in Hamilton's review article concerns the vasovagal type of needle phobia, which is a sub-type of blood-injection-injury phobia. This type of needle phobia is uniquely characterized by a two-phase vasovagal response. [ 2] First, there is a brief acceleration of heart rate and blood pressure."

"text": "How to Get Rid of Phobic Disorder Tweet Share A phobia is an abnormal fear and avoidance of an everyday object or situation. Phobias are common (8% prevalence), disabling, and treatable with behaviour therapy. Phobias are common conditions in which intense fear is triggered by a single stimulus, or set of stimuli, that are predictable and normally cause no particular concern to others (e.g. agoraphobia, claustrophobia, social phobia). This leads to avoidance of the stimulus The patient knows that the fear is irrational, but cannot control it. The prevalence of all phobias is 8%, with many patients having more than one. Many phobias of 'medical' stimuli exist (e.g. of doctors, dentists, hospitals, vomit, blood and injections) which affect the patient's ability to receive adequate healthcare. Phobic anxiety disorders have the same core symptoms as generalized anxiety disorder, but these symptoms occur only in particular circumstances. In some phobic disorders , these circumstances are few and the patient is free from anxiety for most of the time. In other phobic disorders many circumstances provoke anxiety, with a result that anxiety is more frequent, but even so there are situations in which no anxiety is experienced. Two other features characterize phobic disorder: the person avoids circumstances that provoke anxiety and experiences anticipatory anxiety when there is a prospect of encountering these circumstances."

And just like humans, they have their own personalities and quirks. Some of these quirks include fears and anxious behavior, which can manifest themselves in a variety of different ways. It’s important to understand common anxieties in cats, what causes them, and how to treat them, if necessary. Cat Anxiety Versus Fears & Phobias According to pet MD, cat anxiety is defined as “the anticipation of future dangers from unknown or imagined origins that result in normal body reactions…associated with fear.” These anxieties are different than fear, which is an instinctual, normal behavior, and phobias, which are excessive fears of a specific situation. For example, many cats are scared of loud noises, such as fireworks or the vacuum. They view this situation as a “fight or flight” scenario, which is their innate survival mechanism. They may hide under the bed if they feel like they are threatened, or hiss at an intruder if they think they need to fight. In contrast, cat phobias are habitual fears of a specific situation or object."

But if your worries and fears are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like to, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. There are many different types of anxiety disorders—as well as many effective treatments and self-help strategies. Once you understand your anxiety disorder, there are steps you can take to reduce your symptoms and regain control of your life. What is an anxiety disorder? Anxiety is a normal reaction to danger, the body’s automatic fight-or-flight response that is triggered when you feel threatened, under pressure, or are facing a stressful situation. In moderation, anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help you to stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming—when it interferes with your relationships and daily activities—you’ve likely crossed the line from normal anxiety into the territory of an anxiety disorder. Since anxiety disorders are a group of related conditions rather than a single disorder, they can look very different from person to person."

Claustrophobia Getting caught in a small hole, due to cave-ins or suddenly encountering a dangerous animal's den and being unable to defend oneself or retreat, could have caused claustrophobia to become a prepared phobia. Classification and external resources Specialty Psychiatry ICD - 10 F40.2ICD - 9-CM 300.29 [ edit on Wikidata]Claustrophobia is the fear of being enclosed in a small space or room and unable to escape. [ 1] It can be triggered by many situations or stimuli, including elevators crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, hotel rooms with closed doors and sealed windows, small cars and even tight-necked clothing. [ 2] It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder, which often results in panic attacks. The onset of claustrophobia has been attributed to many factors, including a reduction in the size of the amygdala, classical conditioning, or a genetic predisposition to fear small spaces. One study indicates that anywhere from 5–7% of the world population is affected by severe claustrophobia, but only a small percentage of these people receive some kind of treatment for the disorder. [ 3]The term claustrophobia comes from Latin claustrum \"\"a shut in place\"\" and Greek φόβος, phóbos, \"\"fear\"\".

A typical claustrophobic will fear restriction in at least one, if not several, of the following areas: small rooms, locked rooms, MRI or CAT scan apparatus, cars, airplanes, trains, tunnels, underwater caves, cellars, elevators and caves."

"text": "Anxiety As nature intended it, anxiety serves a useful purpose. Characterized by the fear or worry that something bad will happen, normal anxiety occurs occasionally in response to situations that threaten our sense of security. This helps us avoid harm and remember not to put ourselves in the same potentially dangerous situation in the future. Anxiety is a normal stress response that has been conserved throughout human evolution and is evident in all other animals. However, when anxiety occurs inappropriately in response to normal everyday events, it can become a debilitating condition known as anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders cause a person to be constantly “primed”, or “tense” in expectation of an impending threat to their physical or psychological well-being. Symptoms of anxiety disorders are often chronic, and can include difficulty concentrating, irritability, tense muscles, sleep disturbances, and trouble overcoming worries. The conventional health care model typically attempts to alleviate anxiety with an array of psychoactive drugs that either mimic or manipulate neurotransmitter signaling. For instance, medications for anxiety might either increase the recycling of existing neurotransmitters or bind directly to neurotransmitter receptors and block or activate them, artificially altering mood. However, psychoactive drugs fall short of addressing the underlying causes of anxiety – hormonal and metabolic imbalances that emerge as our bodies attempt to adapt to chronic stress."

Heffner August 22, 2014Phobias: Causes and Treatments Phobias: Causes and Treatments Erin Gersley November 17, 2001Phobia (FO-bee-ah): a persistent irrational fear of an object, situation, or activity that the person feels compelled to avoid. ( Wood 689) And that is only the start of it. Phobias can interfere with your ability to work, socialize, and go about a daily routine (American). People who have phobias are often so overwhelmed by their anxiety that they avoid the feared objects or situations (NIMH). For most people, the simple pleasures of life are striped from them. Symptoms of a phobia include the following:· Feeling of panic, dread, horror, or terror· Recognition that the fear goes beyond normal boundaries and the actual threat of danger· Reactions that are automatic and uncontrollable, practically taking over the person’s thoughts· Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, and an overwhelming desire to flee the situation – all the physical reactions associated with extreme fear· Extreme measures taken to avoid the feared object or situation (American)There are three classes of phobias: agoraphobia, social phobia, and specific phobia (Wood 521). Agoraphobics have an intense fear of being in a situation from which immediate escape is not possible or in which help would not be available if the person should become overwhelmed by anxiety or experience a panic attack or panic-like symptoms (Wood 521). Agoraphobia is the most disabling of all phobias, and treatment is difficult because there are so many associated fears (Hall). Specific phobia is a catchall category for any phobias other than agoraphobia and social phobias (Wood 522). There are four categories of specific phobias: situational phobia, fear of natural environment, animal phobia, and blood-injection-injury phobia (Wood 522)."

There are 395 area codes in the world: 317 in the US, 41 in Canada, 17 non-geographic, and 20 others that are mostly in the Caribbean. California is the state with the most area codes at 32 followed by Texas (26), New York (18), Florida (17), and Illinois (13). In the US and its territories, Canada, and the Caribbean, the organization and allocation of telephone numbers is governed by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA). NANPA organizes the allocation of area codes and telephone prefixes to various phone companies. The basic format of a phone number in any of these countries is NPA-NXX-XXXX or (NPA) NXX-XXXX . NPA: Area codes came into use during the early 1940s. NPA codes were developed by AT&T and the Bell System to divide the coverage area into \"\"number plan areas\"\" (abbreviated NPA). NPA codes are more commonly referred to as area codes. While the system was developed in the 40s, direct dialing of long distance did not begin until the early 50s."

In the future, people who got to pick cool numbers by signing up for Google Voice early will be revered as wizards. [ edit]Explanation This comic references the pattern for US telephone numbers, which are ten digits in length. Unlike in other countries, there is no quick way to determine whether that number is for a land-line or mobile customer. In either case, the first three digits are referred to as the \"\" area code \"\", a term dating back to before the proliferation of mobile phones, when specific codes were assigned to geographic regions. The next three digits had some rules based on the telephone exchange but as Randall says, those and the final four numbers are essentially meaningless. In the early days of the mobile era, the geography-based numbering still applied to new mobile lines, so mobile phones would have the same area code as owners' home numbers. Late in 2003, US telephone service providers were required to support \"\"number portability\"\", meaning that customers could theoretically take their mobile phone number with them to a new provider, even when moving to a distant new location. In the early days this wasn't always very easy to do, but became commonplace within a couple years. Since most users opt to keep their numbers constant whenever possible, numbers generally stopped changing after about 2005, instead of shifting when people moved like they were forced to in previous years."

So I keep getting phone calls from 855-855-7688. They insist installed security software on my computer last year (hoping a person might have forgotten) and that there is a \"\"red flag\"\" showing it's infected/exploited, etc. This is an automated message asking you to call back the same number. First I ensured that 855 is actually a toll free area code. Because they are asking for you to call back I wanted to make sure half/all the scam was not the premium phone number jobs where the ploy is to get you to call a phone number you will be charged for. Everything I've seen says this is a standard tol free area code. Next I looked up the phone number on the net to verify what I already knew: it's a scam. So they are hoping you will voluntarily call them back regarding your exploited computer and volunteer to pay them to, at least, fix the problem that does not exist. If you give them access to your system it's likely lots worse than that: you are paying someone to install malware on your system."

Area Codes are always 3 digits There is no distinction between Land Line numbers and Cell Phone numbers In the Philippines Area Codes can be 1 digit, 2 digits, or 3 digits Land Line numbers have different formats and rules than Cell Phone numbers And if you are calling the Philippine telephone number from the U. S., you will have to make other adjustments. The article below on “What you need to know about Philippines Telephone Numbers” explains how telephone numbers work in the Philippines. We hope that this clarifies a subject that seems to have caused much confusion. The Ask Remit Home article focuses on how to enter the contact telephone number for your recipient in the Philippines. What you need to know about Philippine Telephone Numbers The Basics: Subscriber Numbers (the regular phone number without an Area Code) are 7 digits (same as in U. S.). For Land Lines, Area Codes (sometimes called city codes) are 1 or 2 digits. Examples of these types of Area Codes are “2” for Metro Manila and Rizal, “32” for Cebu, “33” for Iloilo, “45” for Pampanga, “53” for Leyte, “65” for Zamboanga del Norte, “77” for Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur, and “82” for Davao del Sur. For Cell Phones, Area Codes (also called a provider prefix, because they differ by cell phone provider: Globe Telecom, Smart Communications, Sun Cellular, etc.) are always 3 digits, beginning with “9”."

"text": "Phoning in Indonesia How to make phone calls in Indonesia Indonesia - Telephone & Internet Guide Forums Articles Our guide on getting to grips with Indonesian phone codes, calling to and from Indonesia, and useful phone numbers. Making phone calls within Indonesia Indonesian landline numbers use area codes. When phoning to a different area within Indonesia, you would add the domestic long-distance code, ‘0’, then the area code, followed by the rest of the phone number. The area code for Jakarta for example, is ‘21’, so if you were phoning a Jakarta landline from Bali, you would key in ‘021’ and then the rest of the phone number. Area codes begin with ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’ or ‘9’ and can be two or three digits long. The length of phone numbers varies, so if a number looks wrong that doesn’t mean it necessarily is. Some phone numbers have eight digits, others have seven, whilst mobile number length can vary from ten to twelve digits depending on the payment plan. Mobile phone numbers If you see a number listed as being ‘HP’ ( hah péh or ‘hand phone’), this means it is a mobile phone number. Mobile numbers don’t use area codes, but you need to add the prefix ‘0’ for phoning a mobile domestically. There are numerous mobile operators in Indonesia, and the first 3 digits of your mobile number will depend on who you decide to go with, although they all begin with ‘8’."

The most likely answer is the person has a cell phone. They probably got it when they lived in Vermont, then moved to Boston and didn’t change the number. The mobile network will deliver the call to wherever the person is. Alternatively the person could have what is considered a Vo IP number.

The above mentioned instructions are all regarding direct dialing. They are the easiest but most expensive. In China, telecommunication service providers usually offer an IP service for international and long-distance calls, which is much cheaper. For example, the IP numbers of the country's three largest telecom operators are 17900 / 17901 for China Telecom, 17951 / 12593 for China Mobile, and 17910 / 17911 for China Unicom.

S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 11 and 12, is a member of the bromeliad family. Like other members of this family, the pineapple reproduces not only by seed but also by several other parts of the plant. Seeds Although many plants are easily started from seed, the pineapple is not one of them. The seeds of a pineapple are viable but notoriously slow to germinate and often will not sprout at all. Because of this, only select growers grow pineapples from seed. The seeds themselves are found in pollinated plants and appear within the soft flesh near the tough outer skin of the fruit. Plant pineapple seeds in well-drained soil that is kept moist by frequent watering and misting. Slips The pineapple produces several plantlets near the base of the fruit called slips. These slips appear as red or green outgrowths along the stalk."

"text": "Separate the guava seeds from the fruit flesh before planting. ( Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images)The pineapple guava, classified under the scientific name Feijoa sellowiana, produces fragrant sweet fruit. The plant grows 3 to 20 feet tall in a multi-stem shrub form. Plant pineapple guava outdoors in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 and 9. When the sweet fruit ripens, collect some of the seeds to start new plants, or propagate pineapple guava from rooted cuttings. Seed Propagation vs. Cloning The two methods used to propagate pineapple guavas are; from seed and, by rooted cuttings. Pineapple guava seeds germinate quickly and reliably making this the primary method of propagation. Like many fruit trees, pineapple guavas do not reproduce true to seed but they produce close enough to the parent plant that growers favour seed propagation. Rooted cuttings and cloning produce an identical plant to the parent plant. Both methods are suitable and reliable ways to propagate a pineapple guava."

In any event, this sensation -- which some compare to touching a 9-volt battery to your tongue -- is generally due to this enzyme.

They can only take over the machinery of cells, turning them into virus factories. But not everyone agrees with this system. Someone might say, “Hey, parasites need to reproduce inside other organisms, but they’re alive.” That would be a reasonable argument for saying that viruses are a form of life.

In asexual reproduction only one gamete develops into the adult. There are so many things associated with sexual reproduction. like meiosis taking place, meeting of two individuals, one male and one female.... Ishan26 · 9 years ago0 0 Comment*The major difference between the two is that asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical copies of the original parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically different from either of the parents. * Asexual reproduction mainly occurs in plant whereas higher animals, including mammals and humans can only reproduce sexually *Sexual Reproduction occurs by Meiosis whereas asexual occurs by mitosis *At the most basic level, sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg in animals) to form a zygote, Asexual reproduction involves multiplication by simple divisionshanu · 9 years ago0 0 Commentfirstly i would like to answer ur question what do u mean by reproduction? Reproduction is the process of cycle of birth,growth and death.when two gametes or single get birth it get grow mature and become a new individual.now this new individual attain a level and become mature enough to give birth to new. Now what is asexual reproduction? the reproduction which involve of only single parent or single celled organisms like Algae bacteria and fungi other microorganism and able to give birth to new daughter cell is called asexual reproduction. the new one are call clones who are similar to their parents morphologically and genetically.

How to Know When a Pineapple Is Ripe & Ready to Be Picked From the Plant How to Remove a Pineapple Without Killing the Plant What Is the Life Cycle of a Pineapple Plant? The pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) only fruits once in its lifetime, then it begins to die. Before it dies it produces baby plants off its crown, which have the ability to grow into new fruit-producing plants. Proper care of the pineapple and the suckers after picking its fruit increases the chances of the suckers growing into healthy new plants. The tropical pineapple only grows outdoors in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 11 and 12, so it's usually treated as a houseplant. Ratoon Fruits Although the main pineapple plant only fruits once, it sends out small suckers that grow into their own plants. These suckers, called ratoons, form around the main plant while it is flowering and fruiting. The main plant slowly begins to die after fruiting, but any large suckers can continue growing successfully and will eventually produce new fruit. Outdoors it is possible to leave the suckers attached and allow them to fruit naturally."

It has taken me a long time to appreciate the magnitude of these problems. These problems with mutation rates do not seem to be appreciated by most biologists, and even the creationist sources I have read do not seem to comprehend the seriousness of the problems posed for the theory of evolution by the rates of mutation observed and assumed for evolution. I would encourage those among you who are taking biology courses to present this material to your instructors and see if they can give you an adequate answer to it. If there are any mistakes in this article, please inform me of them ([email protected]). The general situation is that rates of mutation high enough to account for the ape-human split would lead to the rapid death of the species. Even rates of mutation often quoted by biologists would do the same. A lower rate of mutation would make the assumed evolution of apes and humans from a common ancestor impossible. If the rate of mutation really is high, then the human race must be very young and on the way to extinction."

Sexual reproduction allows more combinations of DNA because of recombination, allowing more variations of species, causing natural selection to \"\"choose\"\" different variations of species to reproduce and share their genes to help the species from dying out. On the other hand, asexual reproduction doesn't allow recombination. So species can only rely on mutational changes to keep a species safe from extinction. Therefore, why don't we see more sexually reproducing species than asexually reproducing species?

So in evolutionary biology, I would argue that explaining the value of sex has been the bigger issue. – fileunderwater Jan 20 '15 at 14:58There is one thing that both of the answers so far do not say and you kind of have to just think of, but except for the fertilization event, all development in animals anyway is asexual cell division guided by chemical signaling. So even in a human with its trillions of cells, only the fusion of the male and female gamete occurs sexually, the rest of the organism is made through controlled cell division."

Unlike sexual reproduction, which requires genetic material from two parent organisms in order to create an offspring, asexual reproduction occurs when a single organism reproduces without the genetic input of another. Because of this, a single individual organism is able to produce a nearly exact copy of itself. Asexual reproduction is common among living things and takes a variety of forms. Bacteria and Binary Fission Many single-celled organisms rely on binary fission to reproduce themselves. All bacteria reproduce by binary fission. Fragmentation and Blackworms Many species of annelids (worms) reproduce via an asexual process called fragmentation. Included in this category of worms are California blackworms, or mudworms. These worms are hermaphroditic -- they have both male and female reproductive parts -- and can reproduce sexually. However, many times these worms will reproduce using fragmentation."

"text": "\"One question most asked of me is \"\"How, or did they, really farm the Upper Keys?\"\" Farming was one of the methods, like fishing, the wrecker used to tide himself over between salvaging shipwrecks. As the wrecking industry began to close in the latter 1800s, the farming industry expanded. We can easily assume that early families raised sufficient plant foods to support their own needs and probably enough to trade with neighbors (if there were any) for other necessities of life. One looking for old housing sites can readily spot them by the telltale signs of date palms, sapodillas, guavas, mangoes and other fruit trees. Usually the remains of a water cistern are nearby. Every homesteader grew their own fruit from trees that the early Bahamian settlers knew would thrive in the limestone soil of the Keys. Raising animals for meat was not as critical in the Keys because of the quantity of marine life, but it was still done on a limited basis. The farming I refer to here is an industry and not just for family sustenance. One reason farming was more successful in the Upper Keys than the Lower Keys was that the Upper Keys generally received about 20 inches more annual rainfall."

"text": "How Long Does It Take To Grow A Beard If you’re trying to grow a full beard or a lot of facial hair fast, you’ve definitely wondered “how long does it take to grow a beard?” or maybe “what is the average beard growth rate?”. The simple answer is that it takes two to six months to grow a full beard. The complicated answer is – it depends on your genetics, testosterone levels and lifestyle choices. Every man and woman’s hair is genetically programmed at birth to grow at a certain rate and thickness, and everyone’s hair grows at different rates. The average growth rate for hair is about 1/2 inch per month and it can take a couple months to a few years, depending on how long of a beard you want to grow. Nevertheless, there are ways you can stimulate beard growth and make your beard grow longer and faster. For example, eating the right foods, exercising, sleeping, and proper beard care can help maximize how fast, thick and full your beard can grow naturally. Since beard hair cannot repair itself, bad grooming etiquette can result in breakage. Furthermore, poor diet, lack of exercise, sleep and low testosterone can even slow hair growth."

There are various types of bacteria that differ in shapes and characteristics. These microbes can be found in the shape of rods, spirals, spheres, etc., and their length is measured in micrometers. Bacteria are present in almost all parts of the Earth, and they can thrive in a variety of habitats.

In contrast, sexual reproduction involves the union of specialized sex cells (eggs and sperm) from two parents to produce genetically unique offspring. Asexual Reproduction A variety of ways exist by which organisms can reproduce asexually. Many protozoans, such as Euglena or Amoeba, undergo binary fission, whereby a single-celled organism divides evenly into two identical cells. Others, such as Trypanosoma (which causes African sleeping sickness), undergo multiple fission, involving repeated nuclear division before splitting into many daughter cells. Some organisms divide in a different way, with a single parent forming an outgrowth, or bud. Many yeasts, hydroids, and freshwater sponges reproduce by budding, typically in combination with sexual reproduction. A wide variety of organisms are capable of regenerating whole individuals from a fragment. Flatworms, sea anemones, green algae, and some Rainbow trout hatchlings emerging from their eggs. Organisms producing many unique individuals in an unpredictable environment have a greater chance that at least some their offspring will survive."

Aside from beans this includes peas, lentils and some people even include the peanut in this category. All legumes are able to take large amounts of nitrogen from the air and convert it to protein in the seeds. They also return large amounts of nitrogen to the ground and because of this the green plants are sometimes plowed under; as an organic fertilizer. Right along with the early grains, legumes were among the first crops cultivated and date back to the Bronze Age. Beans have been discovered in the tombs of the Pharaohs and Aztecs. The ancient Egyptians considered beans to be an emblem of life and had temples dedicated to them. Later, the Greeks and Romans used them in festivals to worship their gods.

How to Cook Beans A guide by Melissa Clark Before You Start Choosing Your Bean Soaking Seasoning Cooking Testing for Doneness Basic Recipe Storage Easy, forgiving, healthy and economical, beans are a home cook's secret weapon. Yes, canned beans are convenient, but knowing how to cook dried beans gives you flexibility, and makes for a far more delicious meal. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about preparing beans and some of their relatives in the legume family, including lentils and split peas, both on the stove and in the pressure- or slow-cooker. Before You Start Check for a date on the beans; freshness matters. Dried beans last up to two years, but are best cooked within a year of harvest. Always rinse beans before cooking, and check for stray rocks, twigs and leaves. Leave substantial time for bean soaking (either overnight or using our shortcut method) and cooking. If you are short on time, choose lentils or adzuki beans, which cook quickly and don’t need soaking. To add more flavor, consider cooking your beans in stock or broth instead of water (and see our chapter on seasonings for more ideas)."

"text": "\"Why discard bean soaking water? Recently, I found myself alone and having to now cook for myself. Dried beans are an old favorite and I have stocked up on several types. I wanted to be sure I was doing it right (or not) when I cooked them so I have been looking on the Web. All of the directions I see say to drain the soaked beans and rinse them before cooking. What I have always done is to soak them and then cook them right in the same pan and soaking water. Why is this not OK? Why would the soaking water not be better that fresh tap water? And lastly, would my beans improve in any way if I changed my method and discarded the soaking water, and used fresh water for cooking instead? My beans (usually Pintos) are always very dark and taste great."

Though there are plenty of foods that are proven to help lower LDL cholesterol, some are more beneficial than others. Here are some of the best options to incorporate into your diet.1. Oats A breakfast that contains at least two servings of oats can potentially lower your LDL cholesterol by more than 5% in only six weeks. This is because oats contain beta-glucan, which absorbs LDL.2. Red Wine Recent studies have shown that the high-fiber grapes that are used to make red wine can have a significant effect on cholesterol levels. Depending on how high your cholesterol is beforehand, you could see between a 9% to 12% drop in LDL cholesterol when regularly consuming wine that contains this type of red grape.3. Salmon Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce your risk for heart disease, dementia, and several other conditions. Additionally, omega-3, which is found in high doses in fish like salmon, sardines, and herring, is now proven to raise HDL (or \"\"good\"\") cholesterol levels by up to 4%.4. Nuts Recent studies have shown that just 1.5 ounces of nuts eaten six days a week can lower your LDL cholesterol by almost 10% in just one month."

This is the so-called \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol that can cause plaque to form in your coronary artery walls, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke. My answer is a qualified \"\"yes,\"\" since high LDL can be the result of many factors, including poor genes, obesity, and lack of exercise. For this reason, not everyone will react to dietary changes the same way, and optimal LDL levels are different for every individual. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body uses to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest food. At normal levels, it’s essential for health, but if the concentration in the blood becomes too high, LDL, the so-called \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol can build up in your arteries forming plaques that put you at risk for cardiovascular disease, including chest pain (angina), heart attack, and stroke. If these plaques rupture or tear, a blood clot can form at the site — blocking blood flow. Sometimes, a clot breaks free, moving from the affected artery to smaller blood vessels. A heart attack can result if the clot blocks blood flow to part of your heart. Similarly, a stroke can occur when a clot subsequently blocks blood to part of your brain."

Foods with similar nutrient profiles are grouped together and given standard serving sizes to make eating the right foods in the right portion sizes simple even when you are away from home. Starch and Protein The basic groups in the Exchange List system are starches, fruits, vegetables, milk, meats and meat substitutes and fats. The starch group includes starches such as rice, pasta and bread as well as starchy vegetables such as beans, corn and potatoes. A starch exchange is one slice of bread, ½ cup of rice or pasta or ½ cup of starchy vegetables and each starch exchange contains about 15 g of carbohydrates, 3 g of protein, and 80 calories. Meats and meat substitutes are divided into categories depending upon their fat content. Each meat exchange has 7 g of protein, but the fat and calorie content increase as you move from very lean meat – 0 g fat, 35 calories – to high fat meat – 8 g fat, 100 calories."

Therefore, they are part of the carbohydrates group. Types of Carbohydrates The main types of carbohydrates are fiber, added sugars, natural sugars and starches. Natural sugars are found in vegetables, fruits, juices, milk and yogurt. Added sugars are present in sweets, processed foods, sugary drinks, baked goods and other desserts.

"text": "Lower Your Cholesterol with Beans Problem If your cholesterol is high, and you want to try to lower it with food instead of statins, believe it or not, beans are one of the best foods you can eat. That’s right...cheap, ugly, boring beans. Evidence Two research studies have shown that just ½ cup of cooked beans a day for two months lowered cholesterol by 20 points! ( 1, 2) And if beans are part of a diet which includes specific cholesterol-lowering foods, the diet can lower serum LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels as effectively as statins. ( 3)Double whammy And guess what? While you’re working on lowering your cholesterol with ½ cup beans a day, you’ll also be getting rid of the gas problem. Research has shown the increased emissions should be gone in 2-4 weeks of eating ½ cup of beans every day. ( 4)If you like the details Here are 6 ways beans help lower your cholesterol: They’re rich in fiber, including soluble fiber, which helps lower total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglyceride (fat) levels in your blood They’re a good source of resistant starch, which helps lower your cholesterol They contain phytosterols, the plant form of cholesterol, which help lower your cholesterol levels They’re cholesterol free They’re trans fat free. Trans fat raises your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They’re low in fat, especially saturated fat, which increases your cholesterol levels And by the way…Three more reasons why beans are good for your heart: They’re rich in the B vitamin, folate, which helps lower homocysteine levels, a heart disease risk marker that damages blood vessels They’re rich in magnesium, which helps keep your heart rhythm steady They’re rich in potassium, which helps lower your blood pressure, decreasing your risk of a heart attack What to do Eat 1-2 cups of beans every day, any and all kinds: pintos, black beans, chickpeas, lentils, navy beans, great northerns, peas, etc."

"text": "\"You Mean There’s Mexican Food I Can Eat on a Diet?written by: Genevieve Van Wyden • edited by: Rhonda Callow • updated: 8/23/2011When you think of Mexican food, you may automatically think of enchiladas laden with cheese, guacamole, Mexican beer, crispy tostada chips, refried beans and sopaipillas. Look on the other side and envision fajitas, soft chicken tacos, pinto beans, salsa and bean burritos “sin queso. \"\" Mexican food doesn’t have to mean destroying your diet. With some wise, healthy choices, you can still visit your favorite Mexican eatery and enjoy some traditional, lower-fat Mexican dishes. Traditional Fatty Mexican Foods The Mexican foods that torpedo your diet include chile rellenos, burritos with cheese, nachos, chile con queso, chalupas, taquitos and anything made with lard. Even if you order “just\"\" a refried bean burrito with cheese, eat a side order of chips and guacamole and drink a Corona beer, that’s more calories than you’re probably comfortable eating at one sitting. That chile relleno, along with a side of refried beans - both are either fried in, or made with lard or another fat. Those tacos, followed by an order of sopaipillas with honey--there went your good intentions for the day. Taquitos are deep-fried in lard or oil after the meat is rolled into the tortilla. Even the plate of red or green enchiladas you enjoy--those corn tortillas are usually fried before being dipped into the chile."

Simply put it is part of the program, if you are not willing to prepare your dog’s meals, you might as well not do the program. I am not being harsh but that is the simple truth. The medical community is just catching up to what natural healers have known for a very long time. Many doctors are now reversing human heart disease, which was considered incurable not too long ago, with food as their medicine. Medical Doctors like Dr. Dean Ornish are curing people of heart disease without drugs or surgery, but by simply changing their diet. Dr. Gabriel Cousens of Arizona is curing people of Diabetes with… you guessed it, Whole Live Foods. Diet is the foundation of any true healing. Herbs are foods and many people forget that, they are actually super concentrated foods that hold God given properties that can help your dog heal itself of disease.

"text": "Vegan Stuffed Poblano Peppers One of the things I initially found most challenging about eating more plant-based meals was actually feeling full. I’ve always been a quantity eater. I’m not the girl who takes takes three bites of my salad, holds my stomach, and sighs, “Oof, can’t have one more bite. It’s too much. ”Nope. Give me those last two bites and your last two bites or else. I’m hangry. The real issue was mental. I kept thinking, “How can I possibly get full and stay full on salads, rice, and beans?”I’ll tell you how. If you eat enough rice and beans (and other vegan protein sources ), throw in a ton of vegetables, and drink plenty of water, you’ll be too full to remember what food scarcity you were ever complaining about in the first place."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science Hemagglutinin and Food Poisoning from Beans Undercooked Beans Can Give You Food Poisoning Share Flipboard Email Print Eating raw or undercooked beans can give you a form of food poisoning. Red kidney beans are particularly dangerous. Dorling Kindersley, Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated March 08, 2017Here's a fun fact: Eating soaked raw or undercooked beans can result in food poisoning. The culprit is a plant lectin known as phytohaemagglutinin or simply hemagglutinin, a chemical known to cause agglutination of mammalian red blood cells and to disrupt cellular metabolism. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, phytohaemagglutinin is found in many types of beans, but red kidney beans contain the highest levels of hemagglutinin. White kidney beans contain a third as much toxin while broad varieties of beans contain 10% as much hemagglutinin as red kidney beans. This is still plenty, since you only need to eat 4-5 undercooked red kidney beans to get sick. Bean Poisoning Symptoms Symptoms start to appear within 1 to 3 hours after consuming the beans and include nausea and vomiting followed by diarrhea and, in some cases, abdominal pain. Although the symptoms may be severe enough to warrant hospitalization, they resolve spontaneously within a few hours."
