A pinworm infection is one of the most common types of human intestinal worm infections. Pinworms are tiny, narrow worms. They’re white in color and less than half an inch long. A pinworm infection, also known as enterobiasis or oxyuriasis, is the most common type of worm infection in humans in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Pinworm infections can spread easily. They’re most common in children between the ages of 5 and 10, people who live in institutions, and those who have regular, close contact with individuals in these groups. An effective treatment for pinworm infections is medication, though reinfection is possible. Serious complications and long-term health effects are rare. Causes What causes a pinworm infection?"

She had brought her toddler to the emergency room because she was awakening in the night and scratching her bottom and complaining of rectal itch. Could it be sexual abuse, she asked? No, I reassured her, just pinworms. An estimated 20-40% of American children carry pinworms at any given time. They are also known as threadworm, or enterobius vermicularis. They are ubiquitous in our community and anyone can catch them. Pinworms live in the digestive tract and especially the anus. Pinworms can also infest the vagina in females. The best prevention is strict hygiene, but let’s face it, what toddler has perfect hygiene?"

( 1:50)MORE FROM THIS EPISODEParasites aren't limited to travelers and exotic-food fans: Approximately 1 out of 3 Americans is infected with an intestinal parasite at any given time. Most of the time, your body's immune system helps to keep parasites in check or clear them from the body so they don't cause any symptoms. Sometimes, though, those pesky digestive complaints could be a sign that the parasites are getting the better of you. Keep reading to see if parasites could be making you sick. From This Episode: The Surgery You Should Say \"\"No\"\" To While intestinal parasites can cause a multitude of symptoms, here are five general warning signs to keep an eye out for: Changes in the appearance or frequency of bowel movements, especially if you have excessive diarrhea or loose stools for two weeks Chronic exhaustion not resolved by a week of restful sleep Unexplained and sudden weight loss of at least 10 pounds over two months Itching around the anus for at least two weeks, especially if there is no rash Cramping and abdominal pain To be even more specific, here are the signs and symptoms of four common parasitic infections: Trichinella: Infection with the microscopic parasite Trichinella leads to trichinellosis, also known as trichinosis. People contract the parasite by eating raw or undercooked meat from infected animals. Initial signs and symptoms include diarrhea and abdominal cramping. As the infection progresses over the course of about a week, symptoms may become more severe and include high fever, muscle pain and tenderness, swelling of the eyelids or face, weakness, headache, light sensitivity and pink eye (conjunctivitis). Hookworm: Hookworm infects an estimated 576 to 740 million people worldwide and was once a common infection in the U. S., particularly in the southeast."

Of these, the most common by far is the Enterobius vermicularis, also known as the threadworm, pinworm or seatworm. Do not confuse it with the Strongyloides stercoralis worm that is sometimes also referred to as \"\"threadworm\"\" but is a very different type of worm. Threadworms derive their name from their appearance, with the adult worms resembling fine pieces of white cotton. The adult female threadworm is larger than its male counterpart and can grow up to 1.5cm in length. The threadworm is a nematode, which are distinguishable from other helminth by their unsegmented cylindrical bodies that taper at both ends. It has been estimated that hundreds of millions of people have experienced a threadworm infection at one time or another. Threadworms are the most commonly encountered human host specific nematode. They are parasitic because they obtain their food from the infected person."

The medical condition associated with pinworm infestation is known as enterobiasis, or less precisely as oxyuriasis in reference to the family Oxyuridae.

Humans are hosts only to Enterobius vermicularis (formerly Oxyuris vermicularis). Chimpanzees are host to Enterobius anthropopitheci, which is morphologically distinguishable from the human pinworm. Hugot (1983) claims there is another species affecting humans, Enterobius gregorii, which is supposedly a sister species of E. vermicularis, and has a slightly smaller spicule (i.e., sexual organ). Its existence is controversial however; Totkova et al. ( 2003) consider there to be insufficient evidence, and Hasagawa et al. ("

They affect approximately 200 million people all over the world, one-third of which can be found in the United States. Genus Enterobius or pinworm, is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is also known as the threadworm, Enterobius vermicularis, and very recently, a new specie of pinworm - Enterobius gregorii - has been discovered. Adult male pinworms can grow to as long as 1 to 4 millimeters, while adult female worms are 8 to 13 millimeters in length. Their size can be compared to that of a single staple wire. They are characterized by their long backsides which form the shape of a pin, hence the name. Pinworms are an intestinal parasitic infection which commonly afflicts children, although other age groups can also catch it. These infestations are also known as “seatworm infection”, “threadworm infection,” and the clinical “enterobiasis,” or “oxyuriasis”. While many intestinal parasites enter the body through the bloodstream or through other body organs, the pinworm makes an entrance via a person's digestive tract."

Young children and their household members, including adults, are at risk for pinworm infections. Pinworms are visible. They range in size from 2-13 mm, are white, and resemble a worm but the pinworm eggs are small, transparent and can be seen only with a microscope. Pinworm infections are spread person-to-person by ingesting pinworm eggs that have contaminated fingers, bedding, clothing or other items. The major signs and symptoms of pinworm infection are discomfort and itching in the anal/rectal area. Children especially will scratch the rectal/anal area, get eggs on their fingers or underneath their fingernails and transport the infective eggs to bedding, toys, other humans, or back to themselves. Other signs and symptoms may include: Discomfort in the anal and/or vaginal area Rash or skin irritation around the anus or vagina Insomnia or difficulty sleeping and/or restlessness due to irritation of skin Pinworms can often be seen on the anal skin or in the stools, sometimes detected in the vagina and may produce some vaginal discharge Some infected individuals may have abdominal pain. Some infected individuals can get secondary bacterial infections from intense skin scratching. Infrequent infection of the ureters and/or bladder may cause dysuria or bladder discomfort."

"text": "How to Get Rid of Pinworms? Pinworms are not dangerous, but they can be incredibly contagious, especially amongst children. If a pinworm infestation has found its way into your home, you will need to start taking steps to eradicate it immediately. The longer you leave pinworm untreated, the more likely you will spread the infection to friends and family of the person. Introduction to Pinworms and Pinworm Treatment Pinworms are tiny parasitic worms that live in the digestive system. The infection is spread when a person unknowingly inhales a microscopic pinworm egg, which then makes its way into the intestines. After one or two months the females move down toward the rectum to lay eggs, which will lead to itching and discomfort. When you scratch the rectum, eggs become latched onto the skin or caught underneath fingernails which makes it very easy to inadvertently transfer the eggs to others. In order to start treating pinworm, you need to determine whether or not a person truly has the disease. In order to do this, you will need to capture evidence of the worms or their eggs."

Pinworms don't cause any harm (just itching and restless sleep), and it won't take long to get rid of them. How Do Pinworm Infections Spread? Pinworm infections (also known as \"\"seatworm infection\"\" or \"\"threadworm infection\"\") are contagious. Pinworms get into the body when people ingest or breathe in the microscopic pinworm eggs. These eggs can be found on contaminated hands and surfaces, such as:bed linenstowelsclothing (especially underwear and pajamas)toiletsbathroom fixturesfooddrinking glasseseating utensilstoyskitchen countersdesks or lunch tables at schoolsandboxes The eggs pass into the digestive system and hatch in the small intestine.

Pinworms are small, white worms that live in the intestines. Pinworminfections are common in young children and are easily treated. Symptoms How will I know my child has pinworms? If your child is infected with pinworms, he or she may frequently scratch his or her bottom. Your child may also move around a lot in bed at night or may not be able to sleep. The itching is caused by the female pinworm that comes out of the rectum to lay eggs around the anus (the opening to the rectum). The eggs stay in the upper part of the intestine until they hatch. After they hatch, the worms move down the length of the intestine, and then out the anus where they lay more eggs. Sometimes tiny, white worms (shorter than 1/2 inch in length) may be seen on the child’s bottom at night or they may show up in the child’s stools."

Pinworms occur most often in school-age children, but are highly contagious, and can easily spread to the entire family and to classmates of infected children. According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control CDC), pinworm infestation is twice as common as head lice, and some sources estimate as much as 20% of the U. S. population is affected annually with pinworms. It is estimated that pinworms infect more than 600,000,000 (six hundred million) people throughout the world each year, and in many areas of the world (e.g., North America and Europe) it is the most common nematode parasite of humans. Adult pinworms live in the large intestine; males and females are about 5 mm and 10 mm long, respectively. After copulation the males die. When the female is ready to lay eggs she crawls out of the anus and deposits the eggs on the perianal skin; a single female can produce more than 10,000 eggs. After laying her eggs, the female also dies. At body temperature the eggs develop quickly and are infective (contain 3rd stage juvenile worms) in about six hours. Pinworm eggs can survive for 2 to 3 weeks in bedding, clothing, carpeting, etc."

To learn how to stay worm-free, read on!How Do Kids Get Pinworms? Pinworms are very small — about as long as a staple. Their eggs get inside the body through the mouth after you touch something that's contaminated with pinworm eggs, then touch your hands to your mouth. After getting in your mouth, the eggs pass through the digestive system. The eggs hatch in the small intestine, and the baby worms grow and move on to the large intestine.

The pinworm is about the length of a staple and lives for the most part within the rectum of humans. While an infected person is asleep, female pinworms leave the intestines through the anus and deposit eggs on the skin around the anus. The symptoms of a pinworm infection are caused by the female pinworm laying her eggs. Most symptoms of pinworm infection are mild, and many infected people have no symptoms or, at most , some itching around the anus, disturbed sleep, and irritability. However, if the infection is heavy, these symptoms may be correspondingly more severe and also include loss of appetite, restlessness, and insomnia. Pinworm is the most common worm infection in the United States. School-age children have the highest rates of pinworm infection. They are followed in frequency by preschoolers. Institutional settings, including day care facilities, often harbor cases of pinworm infection."

They affect approximately 200 million people all over the world, one-third of which can be found in the United States. Genus Enterobius or pinworm, is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is also known as the threadworm, Enterobius vermicularis, and very recently, a new specie of pinworm - Enterobius gregorii - has been discovered. Adult male pinworms can grow to as long as 1 to 4 millimeters, while adult female worms are 8 to 13 millimeters in length. Their size can be compared to that of a single staple wire. They are characterized by their long backsides which form the shape of a pin, hence the name. Pinworms are an intestinal parasitic infection which commonly afflicts children, although other age groups can also catch it. These infestations are also known as “seatworm infection”, “threadworm infection,” and the clinical “enterobiasis,” or “oxyuriasis”. While many intestinal parasites enter the body through the bloodstream or through other body organs, the pinworm makes an entrance via a person's digestive tract."

What are the best – the worst – and the most intriguing – compatibility matches for Sagittarius? Which Star Signs should a Sagittarius man or woman date? Sagittarius Compatibility With its happy-go-lucky, upbeat outlook on life, Sagittarius is a very easy Star Sign to get along with – at least on a casual basis. But because its strong need for freedom can prove challenging in intimate relationships, for optimum compatibility Sagittarius does best with a partner who can cope with its frequent and unpredictable absences and doesn’t mind spending time alone. Signs Most Compatible With Sagittarius As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Fire, the safest bet for a Sagittarius is probably one of the other two Fire signs, i.e. ARIES or LEO. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm. Both Aries and Leo are good compatibility matches for Sagittarius since they share Sagittarius’s passion, enthusiasm and gloriously upbeat outlook on life. However, Aries probably just beats Leo as the better compatibility choice for Sagittarius."

"text": "Leo Leo Ascendant Explained By Imelda |Share Tweet Share What does “Leo Ascendant” Mean? This special report analyses the effects of Leo Ascendant. This is a topic that a lot of people get confused about so in this special report I will explain exactly what Leo Ascendant means and how it will affect you in the coming months. The term Leo ascendant and rising sign are used interchangeably and directly refer to the zodiac sign located on the Eastern horizon when a person was born. The ascendants shift in two hour intervals where each sign of the Zodiac are being represented on one 24-hour day. This means that a person usually enters his ascendant for two-hours in a day. The ascendant will embody an individual’s in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Essentially, an ascendant Leo is the mask which one wears when initially meeting other people. It is through our ascendant s that acquaintances understand us. Instead of looking through one’s true personalities, we see their ascendant s instead."

Pisces will be drawn to the self-assurance of the Lion, perhaps hoping that confidence will rub off on them. Leo knows its found a compassionate heart in Pisces, one that has the capacity to love deeply and be loyal. Pisces can be a wide-eyed admirer of Leo's charisma. The Lion feels lucky to have found such a good listener. Dates can take a spontaneous turn, both able to take off their adult masks, and let go. They're apt to see the humor in life and try to keep each other entertained. Leo in love is flirtatious, sincere and intense. Pisces in love is escapist, dreamy and a big romantic. Fire and Water The trouble with this mix of elements is that fire can leave water parched and missing emotional subtlety."

She wants loyalty and physical affection and he wants to be told he's the greatest man in the universe. The Taurus woman might have difficulty stroking her Leo man's ego since she'd much rather be stroking other body parts! The Leo man is passionate and will certainly prove to be an enduring and generous lover for the Taurus woman when the relationship turns sexual but he'll lose that spark if she doesn't remember to kiss his crown occasionally. Taurus Man and Leo Woman The Leo woman and Taurus man will be an interesting love match. There are the makings of a relationship however they don't see eye to eye on the big picture. The Leo woman will be attracted to her Taurus man's resources since she loves to live extravagantly. The Taurus man will not be as flashy as his Leo woman however and may resent her squandering ways after the first few dates. The sex is sensual and pampering. The Taurus man will thoroughly enjoy the passion his Leo woman exudes and the Leo woman is happy to please her man."

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. ”These lines from the poem “Desiderata” say a lot about life and the uncertainties that go with it. Our existence or being is as mysterious as the universe itself, and to try to make sense of everything, we study astrology and how zodiac signs help define our character. While there’s no shortage of astrology resources out there, they can be too complicated to understand. What we’re offering here is a definitive guide that can help you become more familiar with astrology in general and in zodiac signs in particular. Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about zodiac signs. ARIESTAURUSGEMINICANCERLEOVIRGOLIBRASCORPIOSAGITTARIUSCAPRICORNAQUARIUSPISCESThe word “zodiac” derives from Latin’s zōdiacus and the ancient Greek’s zōidiakòs kýklos, which means “cycle or circle of little animals,” – an allusion to the prominence of animals in the zodiac signs. Zodiac signs are named after constellations or groups of stars through which the sun passes each year. Speaking of signs and constellations, it should be made clear that they are not the same thing."

Which Star Signs should a Gemini man or woman date? Gemini Compatibility Because Gemini is so adaptable and has such good people skills, it tends to get along well with just about everybody at a superficial level. In more intimate relationships, however, it's deeply uncomfortable with possessive partners who want to tie it down. For optimum compatibility, Gemini does best with someone who shares its freedom loving approach to life and won’t get upset by its unpredictable ways. Signs Most Compatible With Gemini As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Air, the safest bet for a Gemini is probably one of the other two Air signs, i.e. LIBRA or AQUARIUS. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm.

"text": "Pisces Compatibility With Leo in Love, Life, Sex, Communication, Friendship and Trust. Pisces And Leo+Match Pisces & Leo Sexual & Intimacy Compatibility It is incredible how two signs that represent love, can be so wrong for each other. Leo will seem like a brute, caring selfishly about their own needs, incapable of forming an intimate relationship with anyone, let alone Pisces. Although this is not true, it might be the obvious reality to Pisces if they end up in a relationship with Leo Partner. In return, Leo will think of Pisces as weak and unrealistic, completely separated from their own desires and the strength of their body or emotions. The truth is, they can both be incredible lovers but they will rarely discover this together. Their roles and characters seem to be too different for them to find a way to coexist in a satisfying sexual relationship. The main problem of their relationship is in the fact that the sign of Leo is a sign of the fall of Pisces’ ruler, Neptune. In a practical sense, this means that Leo will burst the bubble of Pisces and endanger their sensitivity, idealism and go against their beliefs. This will ruin the romance between them and make it impossible for them to find any magic while they are together."

These interpretations are written with romantic relationships in mind and are from the Romantic Compatibility Report. SUN LEO-ARIESBoth of you are independent, self-motivated individuals, very much concerned with your own creative work and interests, and you prefer not to feel like you “own” each other. ARIES, however, often acts in a manner that is socially inappropriate while LEO is more aware of appearances and is more concerned with the response of others. ARIES is somewhat indifferent to other people’s opinions, while LEO craves approval and affirmation from others. You are both immensely proud and neither of you wants to take the back seat in this relationship. There is a great deal of harmony between you, but being two spirited and somewhat volatile people, when you clash your fights are likely to be dramatic and boisterous.

"text": "Are Pistachios naturally salty? Tweet Comment I needed something to keep my mouth moving while at office. It is a whim sometimes, and I get weird things to satiate such small cravings. For example, I needed a fidget sometime back, so I got a Rubix cube for the office. When I got obsessed with not just fidgeting with it, but also finding its solution programmatically, which of course is available online, but my puny brain couldn't get around to doing it in one go, it now rests with one side solved in my desk cupboard. So, this time, the whim was to eat, and eat healthy, since chips and biscuits are so, not healthy types. Come 'Dry Fruits', and I got some pistachios and cashew nuts. But because these pistachios demand some attention to pop open their shells, they had my entire attention and hence came the flying query: How come they're all salty? Turns out, they do grow well in saline soils, but the nut isn't salty naturally. [ Inferred from information from Wikipedia ]."

Credit: The Wonderful Co. The Wonderful Company is making its biggest bet yet that it can woo salty snack lovers to \"\"Get Crackin'\"\" and try pistachios. Its Wonderful Pistachios brand had what one might call a wonderful crop this year. So it is boosting marketing spending significantly and reducing prices by 25% to sell a huge amount of pistachios. \"\" Mother Nature was very kind, so as a result of that we need to sell more of them and so we will be doing more aggressive marketing,\"\"said Michael Perdigao, president of the Wonderful Agency, the in-house advertising agency for the Wonderful Co. \"\"To try to generate additional trial and sales, we're going to reduce the price on our brand. \"\" Marketers for Wonderful Pistachios, introduced in 2009, are pivoting from a reliance on personalities to focusing on an animated elephant who enjoys pistachios. There is still a bit of a celebrity angle, however: Ernie the Elephant is voiced by WWE star John Cena. Plus, Seattle Seahawks player Richard Sherman will be featured in digital videos and two \"\"Get Crackin'\"\" commercials later in the football season."

"text": "\"Entertainment & Music Polls & Surveys Why do they dye some pistachio nuts red?1 following 30 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Originally the dye was applied by importers to hide stains on the shells caused when the nuts were picked by hand. However most pistachios are now picked by machine and the shells remain unstained, making dyeing unnecessary (except that some consumers have been led to expect colored pistachios). And the sky is blue because of the \"\"Rayleigh Effect\"\". While light rays of long length pass through the atmosphere easily, the short (blue) waves are absorbed and scattered by the atmosphere, producing a blue tint in the sky. If you notice on pictures of the moon, the sky is black even during the day. That is because there is no atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light. There ya go, two answers for the price of one.

S., as Americans have enthusiastically embraced the taste of goat cheese in their favorite dishes, including pizza, ravioli, sauces, and appetizers. Fresh goat cheese also pairs wonderfully with the local wines and microbrews. Everyday, more and more people discover the delights of goat cheese, thus continuing the demand for it. Goat cheese (Chevre cheese) can be found in many varieties, packed in various shapes and sizes, and varying in texture and taste. Fresh goat cheese should look moist. Reject if air-bloated, moldy, or leaking whey. Goat cheese hanging to drain off the wheys. Fresh artisan goat cheeses are not usually aged, so they are fresh and creamy looking with a fairly mild, salty flavor. To store, you need to protect the cheese from air with the original wrappings, plastic wrap, or wax paper. Remove from refrigerator one hour before serving."

"text": "Kunafe Nabulsia ~ The Queen of Arabic Sweets March 14th, 2012If there’s one dessert that rules as the Queen of Arabic sweets, I would nominate Kunafe Nabulsia, the sticky pastry made of gooey sweet cheese sandwiched between layers of shredded kunafe pastry. This specialty from the Palestinian city of Nablus is prepared in enormous round trays, saturated with rose-scented syrup, cut into slabs and garnished with chopped pistachios. In the Middle East, people don’t typically prepare kunafe at home. Kunafe is an occasion to go out. That’s how I first got to know it—in pastry shops in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, such as Al Jaffar & Sons pastry shop in the Old City. And yet there are those who do make kunafe in their kitchen—typically Arabs in the diaspora, longing for home. So, I ate kunafe in Jerusalem, but learned to fully appreciate it in Seattle, where it’s lovingly prepared by homesick immigrants. Last year, inspired by the photo and tips in the cookbook When Suzanne Cooks by Suzanne Husseini, I attempted to make kunafe again. And so, I’ve made it many times over the past year (always a big production) for house guests and dinner parties. Kunafe offers a “wow” factor to any celebration or meal, and it never fails to impress."

"text": "\"Features Salumi 101: Your Guide to Italy's Finest Cured Meats Niki Achitoff-Gray Profile Twitter Contact32 Printer-Friendly Version [Photographs: Vicky Wasik]I have a little food dance I like to do when the mood strikes. It goes like this: I scrunch my face and wiggle my butt while pumping my fists up and down like pistons. I call it \"\"the ham dance,\"\" but pretty much any fancy sliced meat will get me going. And I've been doing it a lot lately, thanks to the tower of salumi —the umbrella term for a vast realm of prepared Italian meats—that I've been collecting as I write and research this story. Every few minutes, I gingerly peel open a package and bury my nose in it, take a bite or two, type out a few notes on my laptop, and do my little dance. I've been dancing to salumi for as long as I can remember. Deeply savory, tantalizingly aromatic, often fatty and rich, salumi are a testament to the unstudied opulence of Italy's so-called peasant foods. They are, at turns, funky, fiery, delicate, bold, smoky, tangy, and sweet. And each salume (that's the singular for you) speaks to a unique collision of geography and tradition, a centuries-long history of human innovation. My only problem?"

"text": "\"Harvesting of Red Rock Ranch Pistachio Orchard Our pistachio farming operation and production facilities are located in Hurricane, Utah. We farm 20 acres of trees which adds up to 2,500 individual trees. There is one male tree for every 15 female trees. The male tree produces pollen in the early spring and utilizes the wind to pollinate the female trees. Pistachios grow in clusters similar to grapes. The hull of the pistachio is called the epicarp. It is about 1/16 of an inch thick and adheres tightly to the hard inner shell until the nut is ripe. When ripe, the epicarp will separate from the hard inner shell. The epicarp will easily come apart and can be peeled off when ripe. The epicarp has a reddish/yellow color during development."

Variations Many Cookbook: Salad Media: Salad A salad is a dish consisting of a mixture of small pieces of food, usually vegetables.

Salads may contain virtually any type of ready-to-eat food. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, Greek salad, and Japanese sōmen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; most salad dressings are based on either a mixture of oil and vinegar or a fermented milk product.

"text": "\"Cooking Techniques & Tips American Food Techniques Selecting and Storing Pistachios Avoid unopened pistachios as they are immature By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone Updated 02/17/17Share Pin Email SR77 / Getty Images Pistachios are one of the oldest nuts around--we have been eating them for at least 9,000 years. They are also one of two nuts mentioned in the Bible, and interestingly enough, are related to the mango. In Iran, one of the largest pistachio producers, it is called the \"\"smiling nut\"\" and in China, it's referred to as the \"\"happy nut\"\" due to its \"\"open-mouthed\"\" appearance once the shell has cracked. It could also be because of how we feel after we eat them!Choosing Pistachios Pistachios are sold in their shells and out of their shells. If you love the taste of pistachios but hate having to pry the shell apart, shelled is your best option--but you will pay more, almost double. ( And you will probably eat more, as studies have shown that removing pistachios from their shells slows your consumption. ) If purchasing the nuts in their shells, look for blemish-free, ivory-colored shells that are split open at one end. Avoid pistachios that are cracked (beyond the natural opening). Unopened shells--besides being almost impossible to peel open--are an indicator of immaturity. The kernel, or nutmeat, should be yellow to dark green in color."

These bite-size nutritional powerhouses are packed with heart-healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Of course, you can get too much of these good things: Nuts are high in fat and calories, so while a handful can hold you over until dinner, a few more handfuls can ruin your appetite altogether. And although nuts are a healthy choice by themselves, they'll quickly become detrimental to any diet when paired with sugary or salty toppings or mixes. Here's a look at the pros and cons of different nuts, as well as the best and worst products on supermarket shelves today. Advertisement2 of 20Best nuts for your diet Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios All nuts are about equal in terms of calories per ounce, and in moderation, are all healthy additions to any diet. \"\" Their mix of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber will help you feel full and suppress your appetite,\"\" says Judy Caplan, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

One fruit it particularly works well with is cantaloupe. Since I had both on hand, I caramelized the cantaloupe in a little butter and then alternately skewered it with cubes of Emmentaler on cocktail picks. I finished the cute bites with crushed pistachios. These cheese appetizers are easy to prepare and get devoured amazingly fast too. They would fit quite well in a buffet style party.

"text": "Oct 19 2012Author: Matt Goulding You’ll have the island to yourself. Or at least it will feel that way, especially if you’ve spent any time in crowded central Italy. With the exception of a few popular tourist destinations like Cefalú or Taormina—coastal towns that house obscene amounts of bronzed Italian flesh in the summer months—Sicily is a magnificently underappreciated Italian outpost. Even in August we never had any problems with hotel reservations or getting into restaurants—which means you should resist the urge to coordinate every detail of your trip and leave your itinerary up to the gods of spontaneity. Follow the red sauce trail. The pomodoro-powered checkered-tablecloth Italian fare so common in the US and elsewhere in the world is often disparaged by food snobs who love to point out that it’s somehow inauthentic. Clearly they’ve never been south of Tuscany before. All throughout Sicily you will find the type of saucy, cheesy, fire truck-red fare that inspired the restaurants of Mulberry Street and Boston’s North End—brought over in the wave of Sicilian immigration that crashed on American shores starting in the late 19th century. Be on the lookout for the ancestors of baked ziti, chicken parm and deep-dish pizza. Drying tomatoes in Modica."

Roast in a hot oven until dark and crunchy, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and paprika to taste, and roast a few minutes more.

Of course, you can say those same things about oranges, too, but really, aren’t pistachios more fun? Pistachio is also a favorite flavour of ice cream, a fine nut to find in a biscotti and a tasty crust for fish or chicken on the grill. As for all those shells, when you’re done, use them as drainage chips in pots and planters or save them to plant in the garden around your favorite plants. Snails don’t like their sharp edges.

Instead, they lived in longhouses built of thick cedar planks. These homes were also called plank houses. These early people chopped down and split massive cedar trees using beaver teeth and stone axes. Amazing!The longhouses were huge. Some were about 100 feet long and 25 feet wide, with low roofs for easy heating. The only openings in the whole building was the entrance door and a hole in the roof to allow smoke to escape. If the longhouse was built by the tribe, the Chief would assign space within the longhouse. Each family would be assigned a living area, a space of their own, within the house. If an individual built the longhouse for his own family, he lived in that longhouse, along with his wife, his male and female children and their children."

The Iroquois Tribes The Masssachusetts Mohawk Trail began as a Native American footpath used for trade, hunting, and social calling by five tribes, including the Pocumtuck and the Mohawk. The Iroquois people have inhabited the areas of Ontario and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years. Technically speaking, \"\"Iroquois\"\" refers to a language rather than a particular tribe. In fact, the Iroquois consisted of five tribes prior to European colonization. Their society serves as an outstanding example of political and military organization, complex lifestyle, and an elevated role of women. Mohawk Indian chief Joseph Brant served as a spokesman for his people, a Christian missionary of the Anglican church, and a British military officer during the Revolutionary War. Governance and War Until the 1500s, the five tribes of the Iroquois devoted much energy toward fighting and killing each other. According to oral tradition, it was about this time that they came to their senses and united into a powerful confederation. The five tribes designed quite an elaborate political system."

"text": "How To Install Hardi Plank Siding?2010/11/14 by admin · 20 Comments Hardiplank or Hardiboard is the same as fiber cement siding. It’s proven to be the most sturdy and weather-resistant siding material available these days for residential and commercial applications. It remains unaffected by insects and pests, can bear large temperature variations, and never rots or warps because of moisture or water. Its fire resistant properties further encourage its use as a safe and viable construction material. When you order Hardiplank siding, it is delivered in standard sheets or in pre-cut strips. The strips are generally used for trim corners, soffits and eave linings. Most of the siding work uses sheets that you can cut to size at home. However, it’s important to use proper tools for cutting fiber cement siding, as the sturdiness of Hardiplank could damage the ordinary tools. You can get the special-purpose tools meant for cutting fiber cement siding from your local hardware store. These tools facilitate the process of cutting and you can save your present cutting tools from getting damaged."

In plants, however, the existence of cells that can produce any kind of plant tissue, or even a whole plant, is vital to plant propagation and survival. Read on for more about this fascinating subject . . . The Many from the one In a previous article on Mitosis and Meiosis, I described how the process of cell division works. In both cases, a single cell can give rise to a part of the plant structure or to an entire plant. Here I'm going to focus on the ability of normal cells in the plant body to reproduce and to generate an entire plant without sexual means. This ability is called totipotency, and it is a characteristic of specific types of tissue in plants, called meristematic tissue. Totipotent cells serve the same role in plants that stem cells do in animals. They are found in shoot and root growing tips as meristems, and in the cambium layer (the layer of cells between the bark and the wood) of woody plants and trees. The activity of these meristematic regions gives rise to new roots, stems, leaves, and flowers or fruiting structures in plants, as well as increasing the diameter of woody plant trunks and branches."

Cell differentiation is the process by which genetically identical cells of an embryo become specialized or the process by which stable differences arise between cells of the embryo.

Bone marrow stromal stem cells (skeletal stem cells)—A multipotent subset of bone marrow stromal cells able to form bone, cartilage, stromal cells that support blood formation, fat, and fibrous tissue. Cell-based therapies Treatment in which stem cells are induced to differentiate into the specific cell type required to repair damaged or destroyed cells or tissues Cell culture Growth of cells in vitro in an artificial medium for experimental research Cell division Method by which a single cell divides to create two cells. There are two main types of cell division depending on what happens to the chromosomes: mitosis and meiosis. Chromosome A structure consisting of DNA and regulatory proteins found in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA in the nucleus is usually divided up among several chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in the nucleus varies depending on the species of the organism. Humans have 46 chromosomes Directed differentiation The manipulation of stem cell culture conditions to induce differentiation into a particular cell type."

"text": "\"What are stem cells? Stem cells are the cells that have an ability to become various types of cells. They are present both during embryonic development (embryonic stem cells) and in the adult body (adult stem cells). Stem cells have unique properties that other cells do not have. First, to understand what stem cells are, you need to understand how humans and other mammals develop:1. Sperm fertilizes an egg and forms a single cell called a zygote.2. The zygote undergoes a process known as mitosis , in which it replicates its chromosomes (which carry each parent’s DNA) and then divides, resulting in two identical cells. These cells are called totipotent and have the ability to develop into a new organism. The zygote repeats the process of mitosis for about 5 or 6 days creating a small ball of a few hundred cells called a blastocyst.3. The blastocyst has an outer-layer of cells called the trophoblast , which will eventually form the protective placenta."

Learning Objectives Discuss the types of cell division that can occur to add cells during development Key Takeaways Key Points Symmetric cell division of stem cells ensures that a constant pool of stem cells is available by giving rise to two identical daughter cells both endowed with stem cell properties. Asymmetric division of stem cells results in the production of only one stem cell and a progenitor cell with limited self-renewal potential. Progenitor cells that are produced via asymmetric cell division will go through additional rounds of cell division until they are terminally differentiated into a mature, specialized cell. Asymmetric division can be controlled by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors involve differing amounts of cell-fate determinants being distributed into each daughter cell, while extrinsic factors involve interactions with neighboring cells and the micro and macro environment of the precursor cell. Key Termstotipotency: the ability of a cell to produce differentiated cells upon divisionprogenitor cell: a biological cell that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed to differentiate into its “target” cell.autologous: derived from part of the same individual (i.e. from the recipient rather than the donor)morula: a spherical mass of blastomeres that forms following the splitting of a zygote; it becomes the blastulapluripotent: able to develop into more than one mature cell or tissue type, but not all Adding cells through cellular division Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells found in multicellular organisms, that can differentiate into specialized cells (asymmetric division) or can divide to produce more stem cells (symmetric division).

Totipotent means that each cell can give rise to all the 220 cell types in the embryo plus the extra-embryonic tissues necessary to form the placenta that together allow for the development of the fetus. The ability to form the placenta is a defining feature of totipotent cells. As the embryo travels along the oviduct, the cells continue to proliferate and the morula develops into a blastocyst that contains a cavity. The outer layer of cells of the blastocyst will go on to form the placenta and other supporting tissues needed for fetal development in the uterus. The inner cell mass of cells located at the polarized end of the cavity contain the pluripotent stem cells. These cells are of particular interest to researchers and others as they will eventually mature to form virtually all of the tissues in the human body.

Most commonly, this controversy focuses on embryonic stem cells. Not all stem cell research involves the human embryos. For example, adult stem cells, amniotic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells do not involve creating, using, or destroying human embryos, and thus are minimally, if at all, controversial. Many less controversial sources of acquiring stem cells include using cells from the umbilical cord, breast milk, and bone marrow, which are not pluripotent.

The term was later used in 1886 by William Sedgwick to describe the parts of a plant that grow and regenerate. Further work by Alexander Maximow and Leroy Stevens introduced the concept that stem cells are pluripotent. This significant discovery led to the first human bone marrow transplant by E. Donnal Thomas in 1968, which although successful in saving lives, has generated much controversy since. This has included the many complications inherent in stem cell transplantation (almost 200 allogeneic marrow transplants were performed in humans, with no long-term successes before the first successful treatment was made), through to more modern problems, such as how many cells are sufficient for engraftment of various types of hematopoietic stem cell transplants, whether older patients should undergo transplant therapy, and the role of irradiation-based therapies in preparation for transplantation."

These organisms must be able to undergo different sexual and reproductive stages such as mitosis for the cell’s dividing purposes. These cells must be able to reproduce themselves into more stem cells. Two broad types of stem cells exist. These are the embryonic stem cell and adult stem cell. With the advent of technology, stem cells can now be grown artificially inside laboratories. The research of stem cells was spearheaded by Ernest Mc Culloch and James Till during the 1960’s at the University of Toronto. For a stem cell to be called a stem cell, it must possess two properties called self-renewal and potency. “ Self-renewal” involves the ability of the cell to undergo different cycles of cell division while “potency” is defined as varying types of specialized cells. Two of the words that will be tackled in this article under the cell potency category are totipotent and pluripotent."

The genetic material of each cell in the human body – itself composed of 100 trillion cells – holds the secret to inherited diseases, such as Tay Sachs, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other complex diseases like heart disease. Tissue culture was first developed in the early 1900’s as a method for studying the behavior of cells – free of the variations that might arise in the whole organism – in reponse to normal and induced experimental stress. Initially, scientists used fragments of tissues, but gradually developed techniques to study the behavior of single cells and changed the name to cell culture. In its simplest form, cell culture involves the dispersal of cells in an artificial environment composed of nutrient solutions, a suitable surface to support the growth of cells, and ideal conditions of temperature, humidity, and gaseous atmosphere. In such a system, a researcher can precisely measure the response of the cell’s alterations in culture, prospective drugs, the presence or absence of other kinds of cells, carcinogenic agents, and viruses. Cell cultures and DNA can be established from blood or small fragments of tissue (biopsies). Lymphocytes (white blood cells) can be immortalized with Epstein-Barr virus and then replicated indefinitely in culture medium. Fibroblasts (cells from a skin biopsy) can be used to establish a cell line, though their growth in culture medium is time-limited. The staff in the Coriell Cell Repositories establishes cultures from both blood and skin, and these cells are maintained at the Institute, ready to be sent to any investigator interested in studying disease processes.1907- Frog embryo nerve fiber outgrowth by Harrison."

"text": "\"Science · Biology · Classical and molecular genetics ·Mendelian genetics The law of independent assortment Mendel's law of independent assortment. Dihybrid crosses. 4 x 4 Punnett squares. Google Classroom Facebook Twitter Email Introduction The law of segregation lets us predict how a single feature associated with a single gene is inherited. In some cases, though, we might want to predict the inheritance of two characteristics associated with two different genes. How can we do this? [ Refresher on the law of segregation]The law of segregation states that each gamete (sperm or egg cell) made by an organism will get just one of the two gene copies present in a parent organism, and that the gene copies are randomly allocated to the gametes. For instance, if an organism has a genotype of Aa, half of its gametes will contain an A allele, and the other half will contain an a allele. You can use the link at the start of the paragraph to learn more about the law of segregation. To make an accurate prediction, we need to know whether the two genes are inherited independently or not."

"text": "Cell Wall Definition A cell wall is an outer layer surrounding certain cells that is outside of the cell membrane. All cells have cell membranes, but generally only plants, fungi, algae, most bacteria, and archaea have cells with cell walls. The cell wall provides strength and structural support to the cell, and can control to some extent what types and concentrations of molecules enter and leave the cell. The materials that make up the cell wall differ depending on the type of organism. The cell wall has evolved many different times among different groups of organisms Cell Wall Functions The cell wall has a few different functions. It is flexible, but provides strength to the cell, which helps protect the cell against physical damage. It also gives the cell its shape and allows the organism to maintain a certain shape overall. The cell wall can also provide protection from pathogens such as bacteria that are trying to invade the cell. The structure of the cell wall allows many small molecules to pass through it, but not larger molecules that could harm the cell. Cell Wall Structure Plant Cell Walls The main component of the plant cell wall is cellulose, a carbohydrate that forms long fibers and gives the cell wall its rigidity."

The crossing techniques are easy to learn and you can experiment with many kinds of plants. Generally, amateur plant breeders work with traits that are fairly easy to change -- for example, flower color, fruit shape, or plant size. Nevertheless, although your experiment may be simple, it is possible for you to produce unusual or beautiful plants. In order to breed plants successfully it is important to understand the principles of plant reproduction. The purpose of this circular is to explain these principles and to describe some of the simple techniques that you can use to produce new varieties or strains of plants. Plant Selection Plant characteristics can be changed after many generations by a process of selection. There are two types of selection -- natural and artificial. Natural selection is the process that occurs in nature whereby strong and well- adapted plants survive while weak and poorly adapted plants eventually die out. This process has taken place since the beginning of life on earth and it is still occurring in nature."

Characteristics that are inherited are called traits. Mendel was the first person to succeed in predicting how traits are transferred from one generation to the next. A complete explanation requires the careful study of genetics -- the branch of biology that studies heredity. Mendel's Experiments Mendell Chose his subject carefully Mendel chose to use the garden pea in his experiments for several reasons. Garden pea plants reproduce sexually, which means that they produce male and female sex cells, called gametes. The male gamete forms in the pollen grain, which is produced in the male reproductive organ. The female gamete forms in the female reproductive organ. In a process called fertilization, the male gamete unites with the female gamete. The resulting fertilized cell, called a zygote, then develops into a seed."

The technology required to harness the power of the sun is available now. Solar power alone could provide all of the energy Americans consume — there is no shortage of solar energy. The following paragraphs will give you the information you need to prove this to yourself and others. You do not need advanced math skills to follow and perform the arithmetic examples shown below. Anyone who can balance a checkbook or calculate the total square feet of floor space in his or her home, and understand why an area measuring 10 yards by 10 yards equals 100 square yards, can perform the following arithmetic examples and prove that American energy independence could be achieved with solar energy alone. Science tells us that every square meter of the earth's surface, when exposed to direct sunlight, receives about 1000 watts (1 kilowatt) of energy from the sun's light. Depending on the angle of sunlight, which changes with the time of day, and the geographical location [see map below], the power of the sun's light will be somewhat more or less than 1 kilowatt-hour per hour for every square meter of the earth's surface exposed to the sun. On average, and particularly in the Sunbelt regions of the Southwestern United States, every square meter area exposed to direct sunlight will receive about 1 kilowatt-hour per hour of solar energy. However, scientists estimate that sunlight will provide useful solar energy for only about 6 to 7 hours per day because during the early hours and late hours of the day the angle of the sun's light is too low."

As important as it is, however, that is not all there is to the role of light in plant growth and development. Plants respond in various ways to the intensity and duration of light. Let’s look at each of the ways that greenhouse grow lights affect plant growth. PHOTOSYNTHESISPhotosynthesis is defined as the process in green plants by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. It is essentially an energy transfer reaction. The carbohydrate constitutes an energy source that is stored in the plant and can be moved to the roots of the plant, the fruit of the plant or any place in the plant where growth is occurring. It is used as a building block in growth and to provide energy to the growth or other operation in the plant. Photosynthesis takes place only in the green part of the plant and only when there is light and the other elements — water and carbon dioxide ? needed to facilitate the process."

The comparison reflects all costs of constructing and staffing a stand-alone manufacturing plant under current industry practice and using modern automated production techniques. Identical materials are used for each of the cells. This study finds that, when produced at large volume using automated equipment, cell materials account for 78–80% of total cell cost; costs for highly trained personnel are similar in China and the United States. Several other major drivers of production costs (such as logistics, land acquisition and energy costs) are higher in China, making total costs for each location roughly comparable. These comparisons suggest that U. S. manufacture of advanced batteries can be cost-competitive, and that Chinese battery manufacturing plants do not offer significant advantages in terms of profitability. Highlights► We modeled the cost of Li-ion cells produced by hand and automated cell assembly. ► Volume cell production with automation equalizes cell cost worldwide. ► Materials costs constitute 80% of cell cost in automated production.

They are passed from parents to their offspring through reproduction. Genes also contain information about a specific characteristic or trait and can either be dominant or recessive. Each gene has a designated place on every chromosome, called a locus. All copies of a gene are not identical and alternative forms of a gene is called alleles that lead to the alternative or different form of one trait. Alleles are helpful in identification of the two members of a gene pair, which produce opposite contrasting phenotypes, e.g., b is an allele of B and vice versa. When the two alleles of a gene are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trail, and on the other hand, if there are two different alleles, the individual is heterozygous.

However, this opportunity goes only as far as the ability of the grower to understand and use them properly. Modifying cotton growth Modifying cotton growth has become an essential component of cotton production, whether by making adjustments in fertility, water management or use of harvest aids. Applying plant growth regulators to modify early and midseason growth is similar to other management practices. There is potential to influence yield if they are managed properly. The key to modifying growth is knowing what the plant needs at each stage of development to reach the final goal of higher yield and quality. The next step is to do everything possible to provide for these needs.

"text": "Genes as the Unit of Heredity Genes exist in pairs within an organism, with one of each pair inherited from each parent. 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.

The \"\"father\"\" of genetics was Gregor Mendel Mendel obtained his P generation by allowing the plants to self-pollinate What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype 1.0True-breeding pea plants always produce offspring each of which can have only one form of a trait. The first filial (F1) generation is the result of crosses between individuals of the parental generation. Which of the following is the designation for Mendel's original pure strains of plants? PF2 : F1 :: F1 : PThe passing of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity A genetic trait that appears in every generation of offspring is called dominanthomozygous : heterozygous :: BB : Bb Mendel's finding that the inheritance of one trait had no effect on the inheritance of another became known as the law of independent assortment To describe how traits can disappear and reappear in a certain pattern from generation to generation, Mendel proposed the law of segregation. The law of segregation explains that alleles of a gene separate from each other during meiosis. When Mendel crossed pea plants that differed in two characteristics, such as flower color and plant height, he found that the inheritance of one trait did not influence the inheritance of the other trait. The phenotype of an organism reflects all the traits that are actually expressed."

"text": "\"Probability of Inheritance The value of studying genetics is in understanding how we can predict the likelihood of inheriting particular traits. This can help plant and animal breeders in developing varieties that have more desirable qualities. It can also help people explain and predict patterns of inheritance in family lines. One of the easiest ways to calculate the mathematical probability of inheriting a specific trait was invented by an early 20th century English geneticist named Reginald Punnett . His technique employs what we now call a Punnett square . This is a simple graphical way of discovering all of the potential combinations of genotypes that can occur in children, given the genotypes of their parents. It also shows us the odds of each of the offspring genotypes occurring. Setting up and using a Punnett square is quite simple once you understand how it works. You begin by drawing a grid of perpendicular lines: Next, you put the genotype of one parent across the top and that of the other parent down the left side. For example, if parent pea plant genotypes were YY and GG respectively, the setup would be: Note that only one letter goes in each box for the parents."

"text": "Science Biology Cells Q: How Do Chloroplasts Move? A: Quick Answer Chloroplasts have no innate method of movement, but they are connected to fibers called actin which respond to light and move the chloroplasts around a cell according to the intensity of light exposure. This allows plants to take advantage of key brightness indexes while avoiding harmful overexposure. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Creates the Skeletal Muscle Cell's Striated Appearance? What Does Chloroplast Do in a Plant Cell? Can You Name the Cell Structures That Are Needed for Photosynthesis? Full Answer The amount of actin in a given cell determines how far the chloroplasts in that cell can move. Limited actin threads mean less responsive chloroplasts and thus leaves that appear less vibrantly green and that process the energy from light less effectively. Strong, lengthy actin threads haul chloroplasts around the inside of the cell so that they are always in the optimal position for shelter or for absorption. Actin growth is encouraged by certain proteins that occur naturally inside the cells of certain plants."

This section contains a brief review of the most common terms encountered by visitors in the Molecular Expressions Tree Collection pages. Fiber Tracheids - As the primary water-conducting elements in gymnosperms and seedless vascular plants, tracheids are elongated cells (average 1 millimeter long) that are closed at both ends and appear square in cross-section in the xylem tissue of trees. The thick, lignified walls are perforated so that water can flow from one tracheid to the next. The xylem of conifers (pine trees) and ferns only contain tracheids. Heartwood - The central, woody core of a tree consisting of inactive tissue that has support as its only function. Instead of water or reserved nutrients, heartwood cells contain substances such as resins, tannic acid, dyes, oils, rubber, or other organic compounds that provide commercial use to the timber and chemical industries. As a tree ages, the heartwood increases in diameter and becomes denser and darker in color while the sapwood remains about the same thickness and color. Typically, spruce, pine and some flowering trees such as willows and poplars (known as \"\"softwoods\"\"), do not contain heartwood. Heterocellular Ray System (or Heterogeneous Rays) - As a type of ray system in the wood of a tree, heterocellular rays are characterized by more than one type of cell, possibly including ray parenchyma ( procumbent cells, square cells, and upright cells ), sheath cells, and ray tracheids."

"text": "Storing food safely in plastic containers Catherine Zandonella| 24th June 2010There are certain rules of thumb when it comes to storing, freezing and heating food in plastic containers. Read on to find out how to use plastics safely We have been enslaved to plastic for the last few decades, and indeed it is an amazing material with many important uses. But food storage, reheating, and serving are not among them. To reduce the risk that plastic chemicals will leach into food during heating, avoid cooking in plastic containers, even if the label says 'microwave safe,' or 'oven safe'. If you are stuck and you absolutely must microwave in plastic, follow the manufacturer's directions carefully. For example, some brands of plastic wrap advise to avoid letting the plastic wrap touch the food during microwaving. Pyrex glass containers with lids are good alternatives to plastic food storage containers. They are widely available in stores and are ideal for food storage because they can move from freezer or refrigerator to microwave and table with ease. When it comes to plastic food containers, some are safer than others. You can tell what kind of plastic you have by looking at the 'resin identification number' located in a triangle on the product."

A person can only survive a few days without water. The easy availability of clean drinking water right now often makes us complacent about our need to store water. However, you cannot assume that the current water infrastructure will be intact after a major disaster or other emergency. Water is delivered to your home through a series of buried pipes of various sizes and materials. If these pipes are damaged, it could take from a few days up to a few weeks to get them repaired to deliver water to your home again. Natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes may cause such damage, and pollute or disrupt public water supplies. It is wise to prepare now for such an event by storing appropriate amounts of water that will meet your water needs in an emergency. One easy way to remember how to prepare is the “S. I. T.” method."

"text": "Refrigerated turkey leftovers are usually considered safe to eat within three to four days after initial cooking, but a lot depends on your specific circumstances — particularly how well the turkey was cooked in the first place and how quickly the leftovers were stored. Freezing can extend leftovers' lifespan nearly indefinitely. Just because the meat is technically safe to eat does not mean that there is no chance of bacterial infection or food poisoning, however. It is still very important to adequately heat leftovers and pay attention to their color, texture, and taste. Storing Leftovers One of the first ways to ensure that turkey leftovers will remain safe to eat is to store them promptly, usually within about two hours of their being at room temperature. There is something of a window for safe storage, though — you don’t want to put meat that is steaming hot into the refrigerator or freezer, as this can cause condensation that can actually promote bacterial growth. It’s important that meat not sit out for long periods of time at room temperature, either. The best bet is to store it as soon as it has cooled. Ad You will want to make sure that the meat is in an airtight container. A plastic bag or snap-top box is usually best, though wrapping with plastic film or metal foil can also work."

You are staring at a package of chicken (or perhaps a beef roast, or a pork tenderloin) wondering what to do with it. Whether you decide to grill, roast, or sauté it, marinating will make whatever you are cooking tastier. And, if you follow a few simple rules, you can make sure that your food is safe as well. The verb \"\"marinate\"\" means to steep food in a marinade. A marinade is a savory acidic sauce in which a food is soaked to enrich its flavor or to tenderize it. The acid in marinades causes meat and poultry tissue to break down. This has a tenderizing effect. The breaking down of the tissue also causes meat and poultry to hold more liquid, making it juicier.

Why store water? Occasionally, Florida is affected by severe weather systems like hurricanes or other natural disasters. In their wake, people can be left without electric power and/or running water for days or weeks at a time. Humans can survive a scarcity of food for weeks, but cannot go without water for more than a few days. During a natural disaster, normal drinking water supplies can quickly become contaminated without notice. The best strategy for an impending emergency is to collect and store a personal safe drinking water supply. How much water should be stored? If your normal water source becomes unavailable or if you are unsure about its fitness to drink, you will need an alternative clean water supply for drinking, food preparation, and personal hygiene. You should store enough clean water to allow each person in the household to use 1 to 1.5 gallons per day."

Twos--milk jugs, laundry detergent containers, shampoo bottles--are commonly recyclable as well. Threes through sevens are manufactured from types of plastic that are rarely recyclable. Recyclable Types of Plastic Most plastics are not recyclable, according to Robert Gammon, the author of \"\"Don't Recycle That Plastic.\"\" The types accepted by recycling centers vary by center, but most accept ones and twos only."

The news about plastics has been pretty alarming lately, causing some of us to go dashing for the water bottles to see what kind of plastic they are—and find out if we’ve been unwittingly poisoning our children and ourselves with chemicals leaching into the water from them. If you’ve been concerned, here is a handy chart that identifies the good, bad, and OK plastics and where they are found. Find out here: Love This? Never Miss Another Story.1 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) Used to make soft drink, water, sports drink, ketchup, and salad dressing bottles, and peanut butter, pickle, jelly and jam jars. GOOD: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones.2 High density polyethylene (HDPE) Milk, water, and juice bottles, yogurt and margarine tubs, cereal box liners, and grocery, trash, and retail bags. GOOD: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones.3 Polyvinyl chloride (V or PVC) Most cling-wrapped meats, cheeses, and other foods sold in delicatessens and groceries are wrapped in PVC. BAD: To soften into its flexible form, manufacturers add “plasticizers” during production. Traces of these chemicals can leach out of PVC when in contact with foods. According to the National Institutes of Health, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), commonly found in PVC, is a suspected human carcinogen.4 Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Some bread and frozen food bags and squeezable bottles. OK: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones, but not as widely recycled as #1 or #2.5 Polypropylene (PP) Some ketchup bottles and yogurt and margarine tubs."

I know we’re not the only folks that drink a ton of coffee so I can’t even begin to imagine how many coffee canisters are floating around out there! I’ve found a few creative ways to recycle containers – for instance – I learned how to remove ink from plastic containers so that we can reuse them! Coffee cans are a whole other beast!Oh, and while I’m on the subject of coffee – my friend Alea wrote this post on how to use leftover coffee! Lots of great ideas and fun recipes! You know how sometimes you have that little bit left in the bottom of a pot? Instead of pouring it down the drain, use some of the ideas from her link above!Ways to reuse coffee cans in the kitchen:1. Store table scraps and produce trash. Yes, it’s a less decorative use but still very useful. By keeping your table scraps and produce peelings in cans like this with a lid, it prevents the smell from lingering in the kitchen."

It’s a mystery. “ No one has really measured how long it takes,” says Ramani Narayan, a professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at Michigan State University. What is known is that conventional petroleum-based plastics never really go away, even when they break down into pieces too small to be seen with the naked eye. Some new plastics are designed to degrade (not to be confused with biodegrade —more on that in a sec) in a matter of weeks when exposed to the elements, but that doesn’t mean they’re truly gone. But broken down plastics are better than litter, right?"

"text": "\"Home Technology Energy & Green Tech February 18, 2011New invention can turn your plastic bags into fuel at home February 18, 2011 by Katie Gatto, Phys.org weblog (Phys Org.com) -- Plastic bags help you carry your groceries home, they make excellent liners for smaller-sized trash cans, and now they can help you to heat your home. A Japanese inventor has found a way to convert plastic grocery bags, bottles and caps into usable petroleum. Plastic bags are, of course, made from petroleum to begin with, but it is not the same kind of petroleum that is used in fuel. In order to turn home waste into home power the machine heats up the waste plastic and traps the vapors created in a system of pipes and water chambers. Finally, the machine condenses the vapors into crude oil, that can be used for heating on the home level. This is not the first device of this kind. A large power plant which is located just outside of Washington, D. C., is currently testing a similar process for use on the community level. This is simply the first device of this kind that is meant for use on a single-home scale. The machines conversion process can turn two pounds of plastic into one quart of oil, using only one kilowatt-hour of energy. The crude oil produced can then either be used in a power generator or be further refined into gasoline, though one would need a second machine to complete the refining process and create gasoline."

While you may already know how to recycle your common plastics (water bottles, bags and milk jugs, just to name a few), do you really know what to do with those “other” plastics? Disposable dinnerware The average American office worker goes through around 500 disposable cups over the course of 12 months. Americans even toss out enough paper and plastic cups, forks and spoons every year to circle the equator 300 times. Much for the common disposable dinnerware, such as plastic utensils, cups and plates, is made from plastic #6. It’s the same resin used to make polystyrene foam, but because these materials are not extremely lightweight, they are easier to recycle. We are avid touters of using your reusable dinnerware for your next shindig, but if your guest list exceeds your supply and disposable is your only option, look for dishware made from plastics that are recyclable in your curbside program or dishes that can be washed and reused.

Start recycling items for cash. While the most common (and most-well known) way to recycle for money is by turning in aluminum beer and soda cans or plastic water bottles, there are actually a bunch of different products that can be recycled into money in your pocket. In these economic times every little bit counts, so I figured I would put a post together about the ways you can start recycling to put some scratch into your bank account. Let’s take a look at a few of them…The old standby – aluminum cans. Whether your state has a put a deposit value on each can or not, aluminum cans are worth money if collected and turned in for recycling. With can deposits, collectors get back whatever the deposit amount is (it was $.05/can where I grew up. In areas without deposits, the cans are recycled for by the pound. One couple even paid for their wedding by recycling cans."

Munger Lead Essay June 3, 20133 Comments Tweet Like Submit Plus Almost everything that’s said about recycling is wrong. At the very least, none of the conventional wisdom is completely true. Let me start with two of the most common claims, each quite false:1. Everything that can be recycled should be recycled. So that should be the goal of regulation: zero waste.2. If recycling made economic sense, the market system would take care of it. So no regulation is necessary, and in fact state action is harmful. If either of those two claims were true, then the debate would be over. The truth is more complicated than almost anyone admits."

"text": "Biodegradable Plastics Biodegradable plastic is plastic that decomposes naturally in the environment. This is achieved when microorganisms in the environment metabolize and break down the structure of biodegradable plastic. The end result is one which is less harmful to the environment than traditional plastics. Biodegradable plastics can be composed of bio-plastics, which are plastics made from renewable raw materials. There are normally two forms of biodegradable plastic, injection molded and solid. The solid forms normally are used for items such as food containers, leaf collection bags, and water bottles. Making Biodegradable Plastic Biodegradable plastics are made from all-natural plant materials. These can include corn oil, orange peels, starch, and plants. Traditional plastic is made with chemical fillers that can be harmful to the environment when released when the plastic is melted down. With biodegradable plastic, you get a substance made from natural sources that does not contain these chemical fillers, and does not pose the same risk to the environment."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about aluminium foil. For other types of foil, see Foil (disambiguation). A sheet of aluminium foil Aluminium foil (or aluminum foil ), often referred to with the misnomer tin foil, is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves with a thickness less than 0.2 mm (7.9 mils); thinner gauges down to 6 micrometres (0.24 mils) are also commonly used. [ 1] In the United States, foils are commonly gauged in thousandths of an inch or mils. Standard household foil is typically 0.016 mm (0.63 mils) thick, and heavy duty household foil is typically 0.024 mm (0.94 mils). The foil is pliable, and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated to other materials such as plastics or paper to make them more useful. Aluminium foil supplanted tin foil in the mid 20th century. Annual production of aluminium foil was approximately 800,000 tonnes (880,000 tons) in Europe [1] and 600,000 tonnes (660,000 tons) in the U. S. in 2003. [ 2] Approximately 75% of aluminium foil is used for packaging of foods, cosmetics, and chemical products, and 25% used for industrial applications (e.g. thermal insulation, cables and electronics).

Contact Author Cranberries and Feta Appetillas Courtesy of: http://startcooking.com/public/IMG_3291. JPGBasic Cheesemaking Supplies Basic supplies needed to make feta cheese - a large bowl and collander, a long spoon, large cotton tea towels, non-iodized salt, and yogurt or cultured buttermilk. Not shown is liquid vegetable rennet. What You Will Need to Make Mild Feta Goat Cheese Like many cheeses, making feta goat cheese is not complicated. It requires mostly common kitchen utensils, some time, and some refrigerator room. Specifically, you will need: Stock pot (s) or large cooking pot (s), suited to the amount of milk you have A large bowl (stainless steel is best... I don't recommend plastic)A large collander...stainless steel or enamelled is best A long knife A long spoon (wooden is best)Tea towels - large and woven of cotton (not a waffle-weave), as you will use them for straining the whey off the cheese A measuring cup An accurate thermometer Yogurt, plain Rennet...you may use animal or vegetable, in liquid or tablet form Salt, non-iodized (unprocessed sea salt is best)A 5-gallong bucket, if dealing with more than a gallon or two of milk Time...about three hours initially of cooking and cleanup time, plus 10-20 minutes the next day, and 10-20 minutes (once) the following week A Note on Equipment If you are just experimenting with making cheese, please don't rush out and buy expensive equipment just yet. If you can, make do with what you have around the house, until you know whether cheesemaking is for you. If you find you like it as a hobby or even a business, then you should invest in proper equipment. However, you must start with an accurate thermometer...sticking a finger in the milk to guess the temperature may allow you to turn out an edible cheese, but it will not allow you to turn out several uniformly good cheeses in a row."

When you become complacent about microwave safety, however, your appliance can cause painful burns and become a potential fire hazard. The following tips will help make the use of your microwave oven a safe method of food preparation. Before using a new microwave oven, always read the manufacturers operating procedures and safety precautions first. To minimize risk of fire, never attempt to heat articles that are not approved for use in microwave ovens. Remove food from packaging before defrosting in a microwave oven. Do not use plastic storage containers, foam trays and plastic wraps in microwave ovens because they are not heat stable at high temperatures. Melting or warping can occur which may cause harmful chemicals to migrate into the food. Never use recycled paper products in microwave ovens unless they are specifically approved for microwave use."

Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Previous chemotherapy and exposure to radiation may increase the risk of developing ALL. Signs and symptoms of adult ALL include fever, feeling tired, and easy bruising or bleeding. Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect (find) and diagnose adult ALL. Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).

Additional tissue samples may be needed to confirm the diagnosis or to help plan treatment. If an individual has symptoms that suggest leukemia, the doctor may do a physical exam and ask about the personal and family medical history. The doctor also may order laboratory tests, including blood tests. Bone marrow tests: The bone marrow is sampled by a technique known as bone marrow aspiration. During this procedure, a thin, hollow needle with a syringe attachment is used to suction up (aspirate) a teaspoon-sized sample of liquid bone marrow from the back of the hip bone. A larger needle is then employed to obtain a bone marrow biopsy (\"\"core\"\" biopsy), which removes roughly a 1/16 inch cylindrical piece of bone marrow from the hip site. After the bone marrow samples are obtained, they are examined by many physician specialists, including a pathologist (disease diagnosis specialist, who examines samples under a microscope), hematologist (blood specialist), and oncologist (cancer specialist). The individual is generally awake during the procedure, but local anesthetics (such as lidocaine) and sedatives (such as midazolam or Versed®) may be administered. There is usually no pain involved."

A clot is a lump of blood that the body produces to prevent excessive bleeding by sealing leaks from blood vessels caused by wounds, cuts, scratches, or other conditions. Blood clotting is a process involving platelets (also called thrombocytes) and proteins called clotting factors. Platelets are oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. Most clotting factors are made in the liver. When a blood vessel breaks, platelets are first to the area to help seal the leak and temporarily stop or slow bleeding. But for the clot to become strong and stable, the action of clotting factors is required. The body's clotting factors are numbered using the Roman numerals I through XII. They work together in a specialized sequence, almost like pieces of a puzzle. When the last piece is in place, the clot develops — but if even one piece is missing or defective, the puzzle can't come together."

The presence of thrombophilia can be tested and many people with venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism nowadays have their blood tested for a deficiency in natural anticoagulants such as antithrombin, protein C, or protein S. However, the benefits of these costly tests are uncertain. The most important benefit would be a reduction in the risk of developing a new venous clot by taking preventative measures. To date no high quality trials have assessed this issue. Aspirin and/or heparin for women with unexplained recurrent miscarriage with or without inherited thrombophilia Recurrent miscarriage is associated with inherited blood clotting disorders that could interfere with the placental blood circulation.

The spleen is a blood filled organ located in the upper left abdominal cavity. It is a storage organ for red blood cells and contains many specialized white blood cells called “macrophages” (disease fighting cells) which act to filter blood. The spleen is part of the immune system and also removes old and damaged blood particles from your system. The spleen helps the body identify and kill bacteria. The spleen can affect the platelet count, the red blood cell count and even the white blood count. How Do I Know If My Spleen Should Be Removed? There are several reasons why a spleen might need to be removed, and the following list, though not all inclusive, includes the most common reasons. Auto-immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP): This is the most common reason.

The six-week study gave 36 subjects either given an eight ounce glass of Plum Smart per day for two weeks of 100 per cent plum juice, a psyllium fiber supplement or a fiber-free apple juice placebo. Of female participants, 72 percent said they felt regularity benefits within 24 hours when drinking Plum Smart, compared to 29 percent with the placebo and 50 percent with the fiber supplement. Plum juice has quietly been gathering sales as a lower profile superjuice than cranberry and pomegranate and this study will add to its salability – helped by a price of $3.49 for a 48 ounce bottle which is less than some other super fruit juices such as goji. \"\" Digestive health issues are a common issue with both women and men, affecting nearly a quarter of adults,\"\" said Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD and member of Sunsweet's Nutrition Advisory Council.

"text": "Home Remedies for Constipation for Babiesby ROSE WELTON Aug. 14, 2017Constipation is a common problem for babies because they have immature digestive systems. Constipation has many causes, including dehydration when the body absorbs fluid from the bowels. It can also occur as a result of a new diet, such as with a baby who is starting to eat solid food. Every baby has a different schedule, but signs of constipation include less bowel movements than normal and hard and pebbly stools. A baby may also look like she is in pain while trying to have a bowel movement. Fortunately, there are some home remedies that can have her bowels moving properly. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Formula According to Baby Center.com, breast milk is less likely to cause constipation because its nutrients are easily absorbed for a baby. Certain formulas may cause constipation due to an imperfect balance of fat and protein for a particular baby. Some formulas are also made with soy, which can cause constipation. Simply switching the brand or type of formula can ease a baby’s constipation and move bowels along."

And why are prunes good for constipation? This article discusses the health benefits of eating prunes, including their ability to relieve constipation, provide antioxidant protection, prevent pre-mature aging, promote cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of cancer and osteoporosis. Nutrition facts for prunes (GI rating, GL rating, nutrient content, etc) are provided at the end of the article. Antioxidant superfood naturally rich in hydroxycinnamic acids and anthocyanins A study conducted by researchers from Tufts University in Boston ranked prunes, or dried plums, as #1 food in terms of antioxidant capacity. Using a laboratory analysis called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity), the researchers found that prunes had more than twice the antioxidant capacity of other high ranking foods such as blueberries and raisins. With a score of 5770 ORAC units per 100 grams, the antioxidant power of prunes also topped that of fresh plums, which scored 949 on the ORAC scale. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that result from normal cell metabolism, smoking, pollution and UV irradiation. Research suggests that excess free radicals may contribute to pre-mature aging, wrinkling of the skin, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Much of the antioxidant power of prunes can be attributed to the high levels of hydroxycinnamic acids (types of phenolic compounds) they contain."

Anyone who has been there knows what I am talking about! Oh, the agony! With my oldest I rarely encountered this particular parenting challenge, but when my twins came around, boy, did I have a lot to learn. I am not a doctor, but as a mom I can say that there has to be a genetic component at play here — it was not that I was doing anything different or “wrong” with these two! Some little bodies just process food differently, and I found as a parent it was my job to notice and tweak what I could to help minimize the difficulties. In my experience — and with many with other parents I’ve met – the constipation woes started right around the time our babies started solids. Not surprisingly, this is quite common! Solid foods can be a big challenge to the system — those immature guts are still learning how things work, how to digest and move things along, and the foods many of us assume we should serve our new eaters are not always the best in terms of keeping things moving. The same challenges may continue or be revisited as they grow into picky toddlers, who often form strong food preferences and don’t always eat in a predictable pattern."

Self-Pollinating Plum Tree Varieties The Best Climate for Plum Trees Plums are deciduous stone fruit trees and include two common varieties: Japanese plums and European plums. All varieties of plums bloom in late winter to early spring and fruit generally ripens in May through September, depending on variety and climate. Most, but not all, plums are self-unfruitful, and trees require cross-pollination to set fruit, so you need to plant two or more compatible varieties. The trees generally begin bearing fruit four to six years after planting. Plums also need winter chill, pruning and the right climate to produce a good yield. Plum Pollination For proper pollination of plum trees, you must plant varieties that bloom at the same time. European varieties cannot act as pollinators for Japanese varieties because of the difference in bloom time. The trees chosen must be cross-compatible and the pollinizer must provide enough pollen to successfully set fruit. Any self-fertile plum can pollinate any other plum as long as their bloom periods do not overlap."

"text": "\"arrow Food Why Do Prunes Make You Poop? BY Kate Horowitz October 8, 2015i Stock Elsewhere in the world, prunes occupy the head of the table. Here in America, they’re often the butt of jokes. The shiny, sweet dried fruits are both exploited and ridiculed for their laxative properties. But do they really make you poop? Conventional wisdom and scores of older folks insist that eating prunes will hasten the excretory process. Meanwhile, the European Union says they won’t. In a 2010 ruling, the European Food Safety Authority decreed that it was dishonest to sell prunes as laxatives [ PDF ]. The ruling, which cited “insufficient evidence” of prunes’ poop-moving properties, was met with incredulity and derision.

Stone fruit trees are easy to grow, provided you accept a few limitations in northern climates. It is important to select a cultivar that is hardy to your USDA hardiness zone. Most stone fruit cultivars are very much at home in zone 5 and higher, but there are a growing number that are proving hardy in colder zones. All stone fruits are of the genus Prunus, and many cultivars are hybrids of various Prunus species. In addition, because of a condition called self-incompatibility, hybrid plums and apricots require at least two different cultivars located within about 100 yards of one another for pollination to occur and fruit to be produced. Hybrid plums require a specific second cultivar within 100 yards for pollination (see cultivar charts). For example, in order to get fruit from an Alderman plum, one would have to plant either a Toka or Superior plum as well (or a native American or Canadian plum). European plums and tart cherries are self-compatible. They do not require two cultivars to produce fruit, however they will generally produce more fruit if a second cultivar is nearby."

"text": "Prune By Dr. Mao Latin Name: Prunus domestica What is a Prune? Prunes, sometimes called California dried plums, come from several types of plum species whose seed is easily separated from the pulp. In the past several years, the word “prune” has been replaced in markets with “dried plum,” to avoid the association between the dried fruit and its treatment as a remedy for constipation in the elderly. Originating near the Caucasus Mountains and Caspian Sea in Western Asia, plums were carried throughout Europe. They were brought by Louis Pellier to the United States in 1856 when he came to capitalize off of the Gold Rush; instead, he found himself to be much more successful at cultivating plums and by the turn of the century, ninety thousand acres of plums covered California’s land. Even today, California’s plum crop provides 70% of all the world’s prunes. Dried prunes are eaten as snacks and breakfast foods, added to sauces, and even used as medicine. What are the health benefits of Prunes? According to traditional Chinese medicine, prunes are cooling to the system; they reverse stomach acidity and improve appetite by promoting digestion. The dried sour plum is used therapeutically in Chinese medicine to treat digestion problems, stomach flu, allergies, and parasites."

Williamson 2Plums could be a potential crop for growers and homeowners in Florida and other mild winter areas throughout the Gulf coast, but many plum varieties from the west coast will not consistently perform well enough in Florida to produce fruit. However, the University of Florida's stone fruit breeding program has developed cultivars that improve the potential for growing plums in Florida and other mild winter areas that have high disease pressure. These cultivars are recommended for trial in Florida. The names of all University of Florida plum cultivars begin with the prefix 'Gulf.' These cultivars are Japanese type plums ( Prunus salicina Lindl.) and have resistance to plum leaf scald ( Xylella fastidiosa) and bacterial spot ( Xanthomonas campestris ). Fruit size is satisfactory (about 1½ to 2 inches in diameter) with good fruit quality. They ripen in early to late May, approximately two weeks before plums from other areas arrive in the marketplace. Chilling Hours and Heat Units“Chill hours or units\"\" refers to the hours of temperature below 45°F and above 32°F that occur while the tree is dormant (Figure 1).

In fact, women ages 25 to 54 react so negatively to the idea of prunes that the California Prune Board pressured the Food and Drug Administration to change their name to the more appealing “dried plums” (which they technically are), and it worked! Sales of this super-healthy purple fruit have grown. It’s not surprising that prunes fell out of favour considering their close association with relieving constipation. Prunes (or shall we call them dried plums?) have been sold as a popular digestive remedy for decades mainly because of these three components: fibre, sorbitol (a sugar alcohol that can loosen the stool) and a natural laxative compound called diphenyl isatin. Beyond the benefits to your digestive tract, and the fact that they offer a sweet hit for only 30 calories, plums and prunes have many other wonderful health properties."

High urine indican often occurs in people with digestive disorders. Incorporate Prunes Prunes, or dried plums, are also recommended by D'Adamo for type O individuals.

It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear ( Ursus arctos middendorffi ). [ 3] A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (772–1,543 lb), [4] while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, [5] it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet. [ 6] Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice. Their scientific name means \"\" maritime bear\"\" and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals. ["

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

Today, the polar bear can be seen in zoos and other animal displays across the country but the opportunity to witness this animal in its natural habitat is an even more special experience. More and more, information is being provided to the public as a means of doing whatever is possible to ensure the polar bear never becomes extinct. For starters, it is important to learn additional facts about this bear before moving into information about the polar bear’s lifecycle. Cubs are typically born in the months of January or February with the mother giving birth to one, possibly two to four cubs. Unfortunately, some cubs simply do not survive past the first year of life due to becoming prey or not handling the harsh environment. To help the cub reach full maturity, which is between five and six years of age, most cubs will remain with the mother until around two to two and one-half years of age. Prior to giving birth, the mother polar bear will stay in a cave or some other protected area, and will remain out of the ocean water during fall and winter months as a way of protecting her unborn. Gestation is nine months, during which time the mother commonly loses as much as 700 pounds. From the beginning of the polar bear’s lifecycle to the time it dies around age 25 to 30, numerous changes occur."

"text": "Panda bear habitat The typical panda bear habitat is mountainous forest regions with plenty of bamboo. Such environments are commonly found at altitudes from 2700 to 3900 m (8850 to 12,800'), but the panda bear can descend down to 800 m (2600') during the cold season in search of warmer temperatures. Human dwellings in mountainous regions can however make the panda bear refrain from doing this and instead make it stay in the less populated, but cold, parts of the mountain even during the winter. Suitable panda bear habitat is found in the mountainous regions of Southwest China as well as in the temperate Chinese forests. Earlier, the occupied panda bear habitat extended throughout a large part of southern and eastern China, northern Vietnam and northern Burma. The decline of the panda population and the loss of panda bear habitat is not a 20th century problem; it has occurred throughout the last millennium. The panda bear was considered a rare species even in ancient China. Hunting and climate change are believed to have been the two major factors contributing to the constant decline of this extraordinary species. At the beginning of the 20th century, the panda bear habitat had been reduced to one single region – the Chinese Qinling Mountains. These mountains are located along the edge of the Tibetan plateau and acts as a border between the North China Plain and the Yangtze River Delta."

"text": "January 15, 2013Graduate student Alysa spends a lot of time in Hudson Bay studying northern species with Dr. Lunn. We’re lucky to have her stop by the Wild Wire to introduce us to one of these adorable Arctic animals. Alysa Mc Call What animal lives in the Arctic, has four legs, thick white fur, travels across the sea ice to find food, and is being affected by climate change? You’d be right if you guessed Polar bear, but the animal I’m thinking about is the Arctic fox!How is the Arctic fox adapted to the Arctic? The Arctic fox is a small mammal (not much bigger than a house cat!) that lives in Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Canada. To survive in this harsh habitat, the Arctic fox has some special adaptations. Its muzzle, legs and ears are short to prevent heat loss, and it has a thick layer of body fat and very thick fur to keep warm. Also, their fur is brown in the summer but turns white in the winter to help them blend in with their environment! Now that’s pretty neat!What do Arctic foxes eat?"

On land, water rolls right off of the guard hairs. Even though polar bears look white, their hair is really made of clear, hollow tubes filled with air. Scarring or residue on the fur can cause the “white” fur to appear to human eyes as cream colored, yellow, or even pink in the Arctic light. Fat acts as a nutritional reserve and energy storage when food can’t be found,and may provide the ability to generate heat to help insulate polar bears from the freezing air and cold water. This fat may also help the bears float in the water. It is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) thick. Unlike brown bears and black bears, polar bears do not hibernate,and only pregnant females over-winter in dens. While in the den, the pregnant female’s activity level decreases and her metabolism slows down."

Polar bears, or their tracks, have been reported almost as far north as the pole; however, scientists believe few bears frequent areas north of 88° north latitude on the ice over the continental shelf. The northern Arctic Ocean has little food for them. The polar bears' southern range is limited by the amount of sea ice that forms in the winter. Polar bears prefer to travel on sea ice and must have ice from which to hunt seals. In the south, polar bears are annual visitors to southern Labrador, Newfoundland, and Norway. They can reach the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Bering Sea during years with heavy pack ice. The most southerly dwelling polar bears live year-round in James Bay, Canada. The majority of polar bears are found near land masses around the edge of the polar basin, where the continental shelf makes conditions ideal for hunting."

Polar bear hair is actually mostly clear and their skin is black! So how come they look white? We asked some top scientific minds to explain it to us. Their answer takes us deep into the world of what Polar bear hair is made of and on an exploration of optics, which is the science of light and vision.

These guard hairs are mostly transparent or clear, but thanks to some special characteristics that work to create cool optical tricks, these hairs appear white."

It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear ( Ursus arctos middendorffi ). [ 3] A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (772–1,543 lb), [4] while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, [5] it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet. [ 6] Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice. Their scientific name means \"\" maritime bear\"\" and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals. ["

Grizzly bear habitat will often include forests as well as shrub land. The Brown bear, of which the Grizzly bear is a subspecies, inhabit a wide range of different habitats world wide, including tundra, taiga, desert and dune, savannah and grassland, chaparral, forest, scrub forest and mountain environments. In Europe and the United States, Grizzly bear habitat is today often confined to mountainous regions since the rest of the land is too marked by human activity. Within the Grizzly bear habitat each bear will typically occupy a home range of 10 to 380 square miles. Even though the Grizzly bear habitat is filled with trees, the adult Grizzly bear is unable to climb trees. If you see a bear up in a tree on the North American continent, it is a very young Grizzly bear or an American black bear which is a completely different bear species. The Grizzly bear habitat once ranged over vast areas of Asia, Europe, Africa and North America but the Grizzly bear habitat has today been greatly reduced by human activity. In North America, Grizzly bear habitat can today still be found in Canada as well as in the northern part of the United States. In Canada, Grizzly bear habitat exists in British Columbia, Yukon, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories in Canada."

They also live in Alaska because Arctic Ocean (the original habitat of polar bears) also touches Alaska. In the United States, one can come across polar bears in Barrow—a place where tourists visit commercially to see polar bears. As and when the pack ice in Arctic Ocean approaches the shore from October to June, polar bears are most likely to be seen. Are there Polar Bears in Alaska Polar bears are also present in Alaska but they only occur at the Arctic coastlines. In the winter, bears get together in St. Mathew Island, southernmost tip of St. Lawrence, and Kuskokwim Delta. With the beginning of the summer, polar bears move to the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic Ocean. In Alaska, polar bear population is concentrated in two regions. One of them is near Wrangell Islands in the western region of Alaska while the other is found in the Beaufort Sea near the North Slope."

With heavy fur, blubber up to four inches thick and black skin that absorbs heat from the sun, polar bears are amazingly well adapted to the Arctic climate. Denning females spend long periods of time largely immobile without eating or drinking, yet they do not lose bone mass or suffer from lack of water. Scientists believe that understanding polar bears may hold the key to treating many diseases. Climate Change Impacts Sadly, polar bears may be one of the first species lost in a warming world. These magnificent animals are facing unprecedented threats as a warming climate and loss of their sea ice habitat make it more difficult for the bears to hunt prey like seals and find dens for their cubs. Though polar bears are well adapted to extended fasts, they can only survive without food for so long. Since polar bears have evolved to live in the extreme conditions of the Arctic, even minor climate changes could profoundly impact the species. What’s happening now What’s happening now: Although polar bears received Endangered Species Act protection in 2008, the federal government is still failing to stop oil and gas activities in two of the Arctic’s most important polar bear habitats – the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. If an oil spill were to happen in these waters, it could lead to many wildlife casualties since there is no sure way to clean up a spill in icy waters."

It is the biggest species of bear in the world (with the exception of the Kodiak Brown Bears found in Alaska which can reach similar sizes) with males often weighing-in at around 600kg. Thought to be closely related to the Brown Bear, the Polar Bears' name actually means \"\"Sea Bear\"\" as they are known to not just spend a great deal of time close to the coast, but are also strong and capable swimmers that have been spotted up to 100 miles from the closest ice or land. They are however being devastatingly affected by global warming as the ice that they rely so heavily on is disappearing fast and has led to the Polar Bear becoming a strong symbol of the effects of climate change. Polar Bear populations have also fallen across the Arctic Ocean due to hunting, pollution and drilling for oil and gas leading to them being as listed as a threatened species. Polar Bear Anatomy and Appearance Adult Polar Bears typically measure more than two meters in length and weigh around half a tonne. Females though are much lighter than their male counterparts that are almost double their weight. Polar Bears are one of the few large mammals found in such hostile conditions and have adapted well to their life on the ice. Their fur is thick and dense and is made up of a warm undercoat with longer guard hairs on top that are clear, hollow tubes that trap warmth from the sun and transmit it directly down to their black skin, which then absorbs the welcome heat. The Polar Bear has a strong and muscular body with broad front paws that help when paddling in the water, and fur on the bottom of its feet that not only helps to keep them warm but also gives the Polar Bear extra grip when moving about on the ice."

The ice, and its continued existence, is crucial to the survival of the polar bear as a species. Without sea ice, the polar bear is in danger of extinction. Polar Bear Habits Polar bears live in the Arctic in an area known as the circumpolar north, or the North Pole. Their bodies are built to withstand temperature extremes, but they need to keep their bodies and coats in good condition to do so. They live on land, but they hunt in the sea and are strong swimmers. They are migratory animals, and use ice floes to rest between large expanses of sea ice where they do most of their hunting and mating. The polar bear's main diet staple is ringed and bearded seals, which have high concentrations of fat. This fat is necessary for the polar bears to retain their weight and girth so they can survive famine and pregnancy."

Polar bears sit at the top of the food chain in the biologically rich Arctic. The most carnivorous of the bear species, polar bears feed primarily on the fat of ice-dependent seals. The remains of these seals provide food for many other Arctic wildlife species, giving polar bears a vital role in their ecosystem. Polar bears are marine mammals, and spend much of their time on Arctic sea ice. Many adaptations make polar bears uniquely suited to life in icy habitats. Their fur is thicker than any other bears’ and covers even their feet for warmth and traction on ice. A thick layer of blubber beneath their fur provides buoyancy and insulation. The long neck and narrow skull of the polar bear probably aid in streamlining the animal in the water while warming the air that they breathe, and their front feet are large, flat and oar-like, making them excellent swimmers.

Unfortunately, there are many people who want to be police officers because of the power they get over other people - those types need to be weeded out early on but too many seem to make it through.remowlms · 1 decade ago6 3 Comment1Source (s): Criminal Records Search Database : http://Search Verify Info.com/?cb GNPatty · 2 years ago0 0 Comment The vast majority of officers are good people who are professionals and don't violate rights of people, including violent felons. The very few officers who give others a bad name are the ones who make the news and give the impression that they are all bad. Good cops don't sell newspapers. The embarrassments do. Eliminate parole for violent felons so crime will drop and fewer officers will be injured or killed. Some friends of mine who are cops lament on occasion that it seems that everyone thinks cops are bad. The fact of the matter is that the majority of people do support the police and would love to say \"\"Thank you.\"\""

"text": "\"After You Dial 911 : Dont Be A Victim Article Posted: December 14, 2012I was watching an episode of my favorite show; \"\"Duck dynasty\"\", in which Phil said: \"\"Lookie here, you got police lights, people pulled over, here, when your in trouble, you call 911. Where I'm at, I am 911.\"\" That statement got me thinking, I live a few miles out of town, how fast would the police respond in an emergency? So I did a little bit of looking and here is what I found. First off, to be fair, the police do a wonderful job given the tools they have. Unfortunately they can not be in every place at the right time. They are spread out, approximately 1 officer to every 400 citizens. It simply takes time to get from point A to point B. This isn't a bash against police, it's simply a fact, you need to consider yourself the first line of defense because law enforcement simply can't be there when you want them to be. It takes time. Average Response Times The Detroit Police Department reported an average response time to priority 911 calls fell 28%, from 34 minutes to 24."

Before a handler can start working with a dog as an official Police dog, the dog must pass the normative police test, or can be bought, fully prepared, from Master Dog Training. A K9 officer and his or her dog, should undergo lessons in maintaining the police dog normative once a week. A K9 handler and a police dog improve their work per Shutzhund dog training, tracking training, bomb detection, and K9 tactics. We simulate different situations that may pop up during serious police work, using automobiles, a garage, sport , elementary schools, shopping centers, etc. K9 Police Dog Training – Difficulties Police Dog Training – North Port Police Department Difficulties during training and/or work may occur if the handler didn’t have time to train with the police dog, and because of a lack of proper knowledge of working with dogs, may have ruined the dog’s training. Consequences that may occur from this is that the dog ends up not being able to work well with the police in a certain situation, which can have extremely serious effects. In this case, the police must state the problem to the personal dog trainer, so that the K9 trainer can teach the dog and the K9 handler how to fix any mistakes that could have been made by the handler. K9 Police Dog Training Police Dog Training – Narcotic Detection A K9 handler must be able to perform specific tasks with his or her dog, such as bomb and narcotic detection, human tracking, and finding hidden objects in a 150’x150′ area. The handler and dog must also be able to pass the police test, which involves controlling the dog fully, even after giving the dog the attack command."

Studies have shown that dogs search faster and more accurately than humans. Detection K-9s can locate hidden contraband more quickly and more accurately than hand searching and, as the size of the search area increases, that efficiency becomes even more pronounced. K-9 narcotics and drug money seizures keep contraband off the streets and provide funds for key equipment purchases. No matter how large or small your agency may be, a K-9 unit is an integral part of today’s law enforcement package for your community. Getting a new K-9 unit started, however, requires a complete understanding of the issues involved and the options available to the purchasing agency.

Although closely related to domesticated dogs, wolves do not show the same tractability as dogs in living alongside humans, and generally, much more work is required in order to obtain the same amount of reliability. Wolves also need much more space than dogs, about 25 to 40 square kilometres (10 to 15 sq mi) so they can exercise.

The current maximum prison sentence for allowing a dog that kills or injures someone to be dangerously out of control is two years.

K9 police officers, commonly referred to as K9 cops are an exclusive and unique group of law enforcement professionals. K9 police officers work for county sheriffs, state and city police departments, and for federal law enforcement agencies patrolling domestic and internaional seaports, airports and borders (e.g. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Both the K9 officer and the K9 itself receive specialized law enforcement training. A common requirement for becoming a K9 police officer is the completion of a criminal justice degree or advanced law enforcement training and several years of on-the-job experience as a police officer. While the Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd are the most common breeds used by canine units, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and Bloodhounds are also employed. Bloodhounds, and sometimes even Beagles, given their powerful sense of smell, are used to detect illegal substances, detect cadavers, and find explosives hidden in baggage. K9 Unit Job Duties We've already mention some of the general responsibilities for K9 officers and their canines. Below are specific duties performed by K9 officers and police dogs on a regular basis: Discover illicit drugs, explosives, chemicals and other illegal substances Find and resuce individuals that are missing or have been kidnapped Track and apprehend fugitives fleeing from the law Discover cadavers that have been burdied or left in the wilderness Locate evidence from crime scenes Inspect vehicles Deter criminals who might otherwise confront or assault a police officer Identify people who have beening carrying or have been in contact with illegal drugs and controlled substances Although exciting at times, K9 police officers have many mundane duties.

"text": "Q: What, if any, are the laws concerning verbal abuse when threatening words and profanity are used? A: The answer comes from King County Sheriff’s Sgt. John Urquhart: Profanity, generally no law against that, but depending on the circumstances and setting, the use of profanity could evolve into Disorderly Conduct. Threats are a different matter, and the statute is Harassment. In fact, threats to kill can be a felony. Otherwise “threats” are a gross misdemeanor. Illegal threats include threats to do bodily harm, threaten to destroy property, or threats to do anything “which is maliciously intended to substantially harm the person threatened or another with respect to his or her physical or mental health or safety.” Either immediately or in the future. The only caveat is that the person who is threatened must be “placed in reasonable fear that the threat will be carried out”. For example, if a person calls from New York and says he is coming right over to beat somebody up, and that person knew the other person was in New York, then this would not fit the statute."

"text": "\"In this article, we examine several points of California law concerning dog bite injuries. We'll start with the deadline for bringing a dog bite lawsuit to civil court in California, and then we'll look at California's dog bite statute and its status as a \"\"strict liability\"\" state. Finally, we'll discuss some defenses a dog owner might raise when faced with a dog bite claim. California's Dog Bite Statute of Limitations Each state has a statute of limitations that places a deadline on personal injury lawsuits filed in the state's civil court system. California's statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years. Since a claim for dog bite injuries would be considered a personal injury lawsuit, this means that the injured person has two years after the bite occurs to file the case in court in order to preserve their rights. If the case is filed after the two-year deadline has expired, the court will almost certainly throw it out without hearing it. California's Dog Bite Statute California's dog bite law, section 3342 of the Civil Code, states that the owner of any dog is liable for damages if:the damages were caused by a dog bite, andthe person bitten was in a public place or lawfully in a private place. The statute creates an exception for people who suffer dog bite injuries while a dog is carrying out police and military work. In order for California's dog bite statute to apply, the injury must be caused by a dog bite, not by some other behavior on the part of a dog."

The Home Secretary has approved a recommendation from the Police Advisory Board for England and Wales (PABEW) that amendments should be made to substance misuse testing determinations and protocol. The 2003 Police Regulations have been amended and the Police (Amendment No 2) Regulations 2012 are now in force. Regulation 19 (1) (d) of the 2003 Regulations has been amended so that any serving police officer selected in accordance with a regime of routine random testing may be required to provide a sample. This replaces the existing provision for the Secretary of State to specify categories of officers who may be tested. Where testing is carried out because the Chief Officer has reasonable cause to suspect, on the basis of intelligence, that the officer has used a controlled drug, the determination now allows testing to cover one other controlled drug or drug group in addition to the five categories of controlled drugs currently set out in the determinations. Further amendments are made in regulations 10, 19 and 19A of the 2003 Regulations to replace references to ‘saliva’ with references to ‘oral fluid’. This is a technical change, made at the recommendation of the PABEW. A copy of the determination is attached at annex A. A copy of the amended ‘Substance misuse testing: protocols for testing procedures’ is attached at annex B. If you have any queries about this circular, please contact Nicholas Lawrence on 020 7035 1888 or email at [email protected].

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

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

"text": "License Suspension (Noah’s Law, with increased penalties for drunk driving, became effective 10/1/2016. ) My license was confiscated by the police officer, what should I do? If your license was taken away from you upon your arrest for DUI/DWI, you were most likely issued a “ Temporary Driver’s License ”. This white piece of paper authorizes you to continue driving for 45 days. After the 45th day, your license will be suspended, unless you timely request a hearing (10 days to guarantee the extension or 30 days to guarantee a hearing, but possibly not an extension of your temporary license*) and the MVA sends you a notice extending your temporary license. If you would like to continue driving to work, school, and/or alcohol education or treatment after the 45th day, you will need to speak with an attorney to determine whether or not you should request an administrative hearing to extend your driving privilege, as there are times when a hearing is not in your best interest, particularly when the driver refused the breath/blood test and in situations when the breath test result was 0.15 or higher or if it is the driver’s second offense within 5 years, in which case an ignition interlock device, discussed below, should be considered. * The administrative hearing request (with payment) must be postmarked within 10 days of your arrest to ensure uninterrupted driving privileges until your hearing date. If the hearing request is postmarked more than 10 days after arrest the applicable suspension may begin to run if the hearing is scheduled more than 45 days after arrest. If the hearing request is postmarked more than 30 days after arrest, it is unlikely that you will get a hearing. * If you do not want to drive around with the paper “Temporary Driver’s License”, you can obtain a DUPLICATE DRIVER’S LICENSE FROM THE MVA."

The range of charges, fines, and opinions came to light in a recent hearing before the Nebraska State Legislature’s Judiciary Committee. Senators Brad Ashford, Colby Coash, Al Davis, Mark Christensen of the Judiciary Committee (Photo: Bill Kelly/NET News)State senators invited prosecutors and local law enforcement to testify on the impact of nearby Colorado legalizing marijuana. The one thing they all agreed on was the impact is significant and expected to only increase as more people take advantage of pot that is legal just minutes away. Three-fourths of the county officials surveyed by the Nebraska State Legislature say there have been problems. Sixty three percent felt the impact on the state has been negative or very negative. There were no benefits to Nebraska in the opinion of 80 percent of the law enforcement officials in the 25 counties closest to the Colorado border.

Being aware of oneself and surroundings is vital to the safety of the police officer and any civilians he or she may be responsible for at any point. This is especially true when he or she is in a position where they must use a weapon of any sort to maintain order. Drug Testing Policy of Police Officers NIDA 5 drug tests are often used to screen potential police candidates before employment. The National Institute on Drug Abuse orders officers to be drug testing for the following substances (at minimum): Marijuana (THC)Cocaine (COC)Phencyclidine (PCP)Opiates (OPI)Amphetamines (AMP)How Do Police Departments Drug Test? Police officer drug testing is conducted in a manner similar to corporate drug testing: Notice of pre-employment drug testing must be stated in the same literature describing the officer's duties. An appointment to drug test should be scheduled upon receiving an employment offer. Employability is determined by the results of the drug test. Applicants must receive a negative test result to become a police officer. Urine specimens are usually collected in the same region where the candidate applies to work."

Physical Control is similar to an Ohio OVI/Ohio DUI charge in that it deals with being in a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs of abuse with one exception, Physical Control does not require that the vehicle have ever been driven or even started. The best example of a Physical Control violation is the person who staggers out of the tavern and decides to “sleep it off” in their vehicle. Often times what happens is the person starts the car, either to run the air conditioner or the heater, so the vehicle is actually running, then goes to sleep. However, one need not have the car running or even have the keys in the ignition in order to be in violation of O. R. C. 4511.194 – Physical Control. Under the statute, having the keys within reach will satisfy the definition of having “physical control.” The physical control statute was essentially designed to “reward” or rather, not punish as severely, the person who drinks too much (or uses drugs of abuse) and then gets into their car, but decides not to actually drive. CAN MY OHIO OVI / OHIO DUI CHARGE BE REDUCED TO A RECKLESS OPERATION CHARGE?"

"text": "\"Medical marijuana bill introduced in Senate Share Article By Shauna Johnson in News | February 23, 2015 at 12:51PMCHARLESTON, W. Va. — A bill that would legalize the use of marijuana in West Virginia for medical purposes was among the final bills introduced in the state Senate Monday, the deadline for bill introductions during this year’s Regular Legislative Session. Chris Yeager, a Marine Corps veteran from Kanawha County, supports the proposed law change. “ What we’re basically advocating for is the safe, legal access to an alternative to pharmaceuticals,” said Yeager. He uses marijuana to treat PTSD, but said it has many other potential applications in healthcare – including in the treatment of drug addiction. “There’s no doubt in my mind that this is something that we need to add to our arsenal whenever it comes to addressing this opiate and heroin addiction problem in this state,” said Yeager who lost his brother to an overdose of Suboxone in 2010. The Suboxone was being used to treat his brother’s opiate addiction. In all, some form of medical marijuana is now legal in 23 other states. “Every state that touches our borders has some type of medical marijuana law in place and I just find it ludicrous that we’re not using this as an opportunity to address the opiate and heroin problems,” Yeager said on Monday’s Metro News “Talkline. ”“I’m not saying that this is going to completely rid our state of the opiate and heroin problems, but we have to be able to use multiple tools in our toolbelt when we’re addressing this problem. ”As proposed, the “Creating Compassionate Use Act for Medical Cannabis” provides protections for the medical use of cannabis for debilitating medical conditions that are defined in the bill."

"text": "Can You Become A Cop With A DUIMany people make reckless mistakes when they are teenagers and young adults. Mishaps like driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol can come back to haunt you long after you have grown up and moved on with your life. When you are interested in a law enforcement career after a DUI has been placed on your record, you may wonder Can You Become a Cop With A DUI conviction from the past? The answer to this question can depend on the state in which you plan to work and the police department at which you plan to apply. You can better your chances of becoming a police officer with a DUI by hiring an attorney to help you avoid an intoxicated driving condition or clean up your criminal and driving records. How a DUI Can Impact Your Law Enforcement Career What is the answer to Can You Become a Cop With A DUI on your record? As noted, the answer to this question can be unclear and largely dependent on what state you want to work in as well as for what law enforcement agency you want to work. Some police departments throughout the U. S. are overwhelmingly forgiving and can overlook a single past indiscretion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Your LEO recruiter might acknowledge that you made a single mistake that could happen to anyone and thus pose no risk to the public’s safety. If you have multiple DUI convictions, however, you may be viewed as a liability and not allowed to continue with the recruitment and application process."

"text": "Forensic Science International Volume 194, Issues 1–3, 30 January 2010, Pages 97-102Relationship between blood and urine alcohol concentrations in apprehended drivers who claimed consumption of alcohol after driving with and without supporting evidence Alan Wayne Jones Fredrik C. Kugelberg Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2009.10.021 Get rights and content Abstract For various reasons, many people suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA) are not apprehended sitting behind the wheel, but some time after the driving. This gives them the opportunity to claim they drank alcohol after the time of driving or after they were involved in a road-traffic crash. Alleged post-offence drinking is not easy for the prosecution to disprove, which often means that the DUIA charge is dropped or the person is acquitted if the case goes to trial. The routine practice of sampling and measuring the concentration of alcohol in blood (BAC) and urine (UAC) and calculating urine/blood ratios (UAC/BAC) and the changes in UAC between two successive voids furnishes useful information to support or challenge alleged drinking after driving. We present here a retrospective case series of DUIA offenders ( N = 40) in half of which there was supporting evidence of an after-drink (eye witness or police reports) and in the other half no such evidence existed apart from the suspect's admission. When there was supporting evidence of an after-drink, the UAC/BAC ratio for the first void was close to or less than unity (mean 1.04, median 1.08, range 0.54–1.21) and the UAC increased by 0.21 g/L (range 0.02–0.57) between the two voids. Without any supporting evidence of post-offence drinking the mean UAC/BAC ratio was 1.46 (range 1.35–1.93) for the first void, verifying that absorption and distribution of alcohol in all body fluids and tissues was complete. In these cases, the UAC between successive voids decreased by 0.25 g/L on average (range 0.10–0.49), indicating the post-absorptive phase of the BAC curve. Long experience from investigating claims of post-offence drinking leads us to conclude that in the vast majority of cases this lacks any substance and is simply a last resort by DUIA offenders to evade justice. Unless supporting evidence exists (eye witness, police reports, etc.)"

This requirement is found under California Vehicle Code § 23612 (a) (1) (A) and (B) and California Vehicle Code §13384. In most criminal cases, you have a 5 th Amendment right to not incriminate yourself by being forced to talk to police or to testify at trial. However, this right does not extend to all factors that might incriminate you. For instance, you are not permitted to refuse fingerprinting if arrested even if your prints may implicate you in a certain crime as it is not considered “testimonial.” 2. The courts have extended this to your compliance to giving a chemical test of your BAC if probable cause exists, even if the results may show you were under the influence or had a BAC of 0.08% or more when driving. Your refusal to submit, unless reasonable under the circumstances, will have administrative and criminal consequences. If you do take a breath test but the officer observes clear indications from your demeanor that a blood test would detect the presence of drugs, then the officer may request that you submit to the blood test. If you refuse, then you face the consequences of a refusal unless you can prove your refusal was reasonable or justified."

Let Us Help You What is Controlled Substance Law? Controlled substance law consists of prohibitions against the unauthorized possession of drugs that the government has determined to be dangerous, habit-forming, or otherwise not appropriate for use without a prescription. Statutes setting forth these laws have been enacted at all levels of government, including most local municipalities. Violations can result in criminal fines and incarceration. The severity of the penalty in any given case is determined primarily by the quantity of controlled substances involved and whether the offender has past convictions for similar crimes. At the federal level, Congress enacted the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1970 in an effort to categorize regulated drugs based on their potential for abuse, as well as the benefits they provide from a medical standpoint. States have enacted their own schedules in much the same fashion. Drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and many other street and prescription drugs are placed within one of five “schedules.” The most harmful substances appear in Schedule I, and the rest appear in descending order accordingly."

We used a combination of government information, real-time job analysis software and expert insight to help you understand the differences when comparing a parole officer versus probation officer. Parole vs. Probation: The functional differences With such similar names and functions, it’s understandable that there is some confusion over parole versus probation.

"text": "Illinois law on hospitals disclosing blood and urine test results to policeby Sami Azhari on October 17, 2010Often during an arrest the police will transport the suspect to a medical facility for treatment. These situations occur because of injury and intoxication. The police officer has a legal duty to protect any person in custody. The police department does not want to be sued, so if there is any reason to believe the person arrested needs medical care, he will be admitted to an emergency room. All medical facilities operate on a protocol. Just like the police have a legal duty towards the person arrested, the law says that nurses, physician assistants, and doctors all must practice a standard of care with the patient. Failure to follow protocol may be considered negligent and cause the hospital to be civilly liable for medical malpractice. One of the first priorities of medical treatment is the analysis of blood and urine. Protocol requires the hospital to check for alcohol and drugs, and also any medical conditions that need to be addressed. If the person was arrested for driving under the influence, then the results of this testing may legally be disclosed to police, despite privacy laws concerning health care."

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

Countries are committed to this comprehensive package and to its consistent implementation. These measures range from new minimum standards to revision of existing standards, common approaches which will facilitate the convergence of national practices and guidance drawing on best practices.2. Has the BEPS Project delivered on its promise to put an end to double non-taxation? The expectation is that once implemented, the measures restore taxation in a number of instances where income would otherwise go untaxed. Depending on the planning structure used, one or more of the measures developed will have an impact and ensure that income is taxed at least one time and not more than once. Rather than closing individual schemes, the measures go to their roots.3. How will the BEPS measures be implemented?"

Soft money may also refer to soft currency or fiat money. For the 1919 Harold Lloyd comedy film, see Soft Money (film). For the album by hip hop artist Jel, see Soft Money (album). Campaign finance in the United States is the financing of electoral campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels. At the federal level, campaign finance law is enacted by Congress and enforced by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), an independent federal agency. Although most campaign spending is privately financed, public financing is available for qualifying candidates for President of the United States during both the primaries and the general election. Eligibility requirements must be fulfilled to qualify for a government subsidy, and those that do accept government funding are usually subject to spending limits on money. Races for non-federal offices are governed by state and local law. Over half the states allow some level of corporate and union contributions."

That’s when more than 50 tax deductions, tax credits and other tax-saving laws expired. This hodgepodge of individual and business tax breaks — some of which apply to large groups of taxpayers, others that are much more specific — has been on the books for years. But technically these laws are temporary. Each has a specific end date, typically the conclusion of a tax year. For the most part, Congress has extended them year after year. That’s why the collective bunch is referred to as “extenders. ”The last time the laws were extended was in December 2014, when they were made retroactively effective for that tax year. Taxpayers, tax preparers and many lawmakers had hoped the new Congress would act quickly to renew them this year, but the bill has become bogged down in the politics of tax reform and the 2016 presidential election. Still, some progress has been made."

Some PACs contribute to candidates for state and local offices ” governors, mayors, state representatives, state senators, etc. Other PAC’s contribute to candidates for federal office ” President, U. S. Senate and House of Representatives. It is unlawful for a labor union to take money from your paycheck for contributions to a federal PAC or for the federal PAC to accept such contributions without your written authorization. Recently, the Federal Election Commission has audited some well-known national union PACs to see if they had written authorizations from employees for the contributions the PACs were receiving. The results were astonishing. One national union PAC, according to the FEC audit, could not produce written authorizations for 93% of PAC contributions the FEC examined. Another national union PAC was unable to show authorizations for at least 67% of the contributions the FEC examined. This suggests a widespread problem: union PACs are making political contributions to federal candidates with employees’ money taken without their written authorizations. If you believe that money is being deducted from your paycheck and funneled to a union’s federal PAC without your written authorization, contact the Foundation."

And election season, like almost everything else, raises some very important tax questions, not all of them about Mitt Romney’s hidden returns. With passions inflamed on both sides of the aisle, many Americans are so convinced that their candidate is the right one for the job that they make a campaign donation. An elect few are even running for office themselves, perhaps even out of their own pocket. It doesn’t take a tax geek to wonder what kind of impact these expenses will have come April 15. We all know that donations to charity are tax deductible. For many people, the tax break from Uncle Sam is almost as big a motivating factor as altruism.

Political action committees See also: Political action committee Political Action Committees (PACs) are political committees established and administered by corporations, labor unions, membership organizations or trade associations. The general definition is a group that spends money on elections, but is not run by a party or individual candidate. However, PACs can donate money to parties or candidates they support. These committees raise funds either from individuals associated with the corporation (Separate Segregated Funds) or from any individuals who wish to contribute to the committee (Nonconnected PACs). [ 1] Nonconnected PACs are financially independent and pay for themselves via the contributions they raise. Separate segregated funds are funded by the organization they are associated with. ["

"text": "\"Are Your Political Contributions Subject to Gift Tax? Saturday/July/09 2011 Exempt Organzations In the wake of the Citizens United decision, certain politically-interested donors have made large contributions to social welfare organizations. Under fire from some in Congress, the IRS has ceased its examination of some of these contributors for unreported gift tax on the contributions. Although the IRS is continuing to study this issue, the IRS has stated that any changes to current enforcement policy will be prospective only. On July 7, 2011, the IRS announced that it was dropping its announced gift tax examination of contributions to 501 (c) (4) social welfare organizations. Several months ago, tax practitioners disclosed that certain contributors to 501 (c) (4) social welfare organizations were being subjected to gift tax examination of their contributions. In the past few years, social welfare organizations have become a preferred vehicle form some forms of political activity because such contributions are not subject to disclosure under the Federal Election Campaign Act. However, unlike other vehicles for political activity, there is no explicit authority which exempts contributions to social welfare organizations from gift tax. Indeed, in 1982, the IRS ruled that such contributions were subject to gift tax. However, enforcement has been nonexistent."

"text": "\"From the category archives: Max Richtman Congress Deflects President's Budget Ax on Seniors' Programs Posted on 3/23/2018 2:16 PM By NCPSSMIn a rare victory for seniors, the passage of the FY 2018 Omnibus Appropriations bill in Congress increases funding for several programs that assist the elderly – and gives a much-needed boost to the beleaguered Social Security Administration. The bill favorably responds to a March 14 letter from the National Committee to House and Senate Appropriations Committees members, urging them to prioritize funding for federal programs and agencies vitally important to older Americans. In passing this bill, Congress defied President Trump’s proposed 2018 budget, which called for severe cutbacks to – or outright elimination of – several federal programs which vulnerable seniors depend upon. In the omnibus bill, the Social Security Administration (SSA) gets an increase of $480 million over the previous fiscal year, including $100 million for reducing the backlog in Social Security Disability Insurance hearings – which some 10,000 Americans died waiting for in 2017. The funding bump – which the National Committee has long advocated – should also alleviate some of the excessively long wait times for customer service on SSA’s toll-free phone line and in-person at SSA field offices. On March 7 th, National Committee president Max Richtman testified before the House Social Security subcommittee, urging members to adequately fund SSA. The agency had been subject to an 11% budget reduction since 2010, causing severe cutbacks in customer service at a time when 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. The Omnibus bill also includes $59 million more for Older Americans Act Senior Nutrition programs and an increase of $250 million for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), while the State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) receives a modest increase in funding. The spending plan also gives a $414 million boost to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Alzheimer’s and dementia research.\"\" We applaud Congress for maintaining spending for senior programs that President Trump proposed to eliminate in his FY 2018 budget, including the Senior Community Service Employment Program, the Community Development Block Grant, and the Community Services Block Grant, which helps to pay for Meals on Wheels."

"text": "IRS Tax Tip 2013-45, April 1, 2013Giving to charity may make you feel good and help you lower your tax bill. The IRS offers these nine tips to help ensure your contributions pay off on your tax return. If you want a tax deduction, you must donate to a qualified charitable organization. You cannot deduct contributions you make to either an individual, a political organization or a political candidate. You must file Form 1040 and itemize your deductions on Schedule A. If your total deduction for all noncash contributions for the year is more than $500, you must also file Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, with your tax return. If you receive a benefit of some kind in return for your contribution, you can only deduct the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit you received. Examples of benefits you may receive in return for your contribution include merchandise, tickets to an event or other goods and services. Donations of stock or other non-cash property are usually valued at fair market value. Used clothing and household items generally must be in good condition to be deductible. Special rules apply to vehicle donations."

In this article from the May 2006 issue of Trusts & Estates, New York attorney Avi Kestenbaum reviews the key differences between these deductions so advisors can help clients maximize tax savings, and help preserve and use their wealth more effectively. By, Avi Z. Kestenbaum, attorney, Meltzer, Lippe, Goldstein & Breitstone, LLP, Mineola, N. Y. Many tax and estate-planning professionals are aware of the basic tax rules governing deductions for charitable contributions. They know the general distinctions between the limits on income tax deductions for contributions to private foundations, and for contributions to public charities. But the devil is in the detail: Many of these rules are intricate and complicated. Also, advisors sometimes fail to adequately notice the differences between (i) the income tax charitable contribution deductions for individuals and for trusts and estates, and (2) the income tax charitable contribution deductions and the gift and estate tax charitable contribution deductions. Understanding the fine print for all these deductions is essential for creating strategies for increasing tax savings. DIFFERENCES, PART 1The Internal Revenue Code allows individuals and corporations 1 as well as trusts and estates 2 to take an income tax deduction for their charitable contributions. A deduction is afforded for donations to charities 3 of both cash and property, but the deduction can be no greater than the fair market value of the donated property. There are many articles and treatises explaining these complicated and cumbersome rules in detail."

They do it because it is more likely to be good for them. Certainly if you don't have to file, NOTHING BAD, in fact only good things, can happen by doing so.

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

Distributions from traditional IRAs are taxed, but Roth distributions are tax-free, since you already paid tax on the income. How to Deduct Your Traditional IRA Contribution Make sure you qualify. You can open a traditional IRA if you either you or your spouse have compensation (income earned from a job or self-employment) and you are not yet age 70 ½ by the end of the year. Open an IRA with a bank, credit union, mutual fund company, broker or any other financial institution authorized by the IRS to act as a trustee or custodian.

By claiming charitable donations as tax deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, instead of claiming the standard deduction, you could even lower your taxable income. The IRS website has a tool to help you calculate your standard deduction.

To qualify for these benefits, most organizations must file an application with, and be recognized by, the IRS as described in this publication. Another benefit is that some organizations may be exempt from certain employment taxes. Individual and corporate donors are more likely to support organizations with 501 (c) (3) status because their donations can be tax deductible. Recognition of exemption under section 501 (c) (3) of the IRC assures foundations and other grant-making institutions that they are issuing grants or sponsorships to permitted beneficiaries. An IRS determination of 501 (c) (3) status is recognized and accepted for other purposes. For example: state officials may grant exemption from state income, sales, and property taxes; and the U. S. Postal Service offers reduced postal rates to certain organizations. Who is eligible for 501 (c) (3) status?

Qualified charitable organizations include those operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to animals or children, or the development of amateur sports. Nonprofit veterans' organizations, fraternal lodge groups, cemetery and burial companies and certain legal corporations can also qualify.

Next Up IRS Publication 526Bargain Sale To A Charitable Organization IRS Publication 78Donor Advised Fund BREAKING DOWN 'Qualified Charitable Organization'Only donations that are made to a qualified charitable organization are tax-deductible. Organizations that do not qualify for this status are considered for-profit and are taxed accordingly. For example, political contributions are not tax-deductible, because political parties are not charitable institutions. On the other hand, contributions to an organization dedicated to building hospitals in third-world countries would likely be a charitable organization, and contributions would be tax deductible. Qualified charitable organizations differ from strictly tax-exempt organizations, which do not have to be for a charitable purpose yet are not required to pay taxes.

"text": "\"Donating more than 3 percent of your income doesn't automatically red-flag you. When you donate money to charity, the Internal Revenue Service might let you deduct your contributions. To qualify for the deduction, you'll have to forgo the standard deduction and instead itemize your deductions. You'll also be taking a risk, because the IRS is more likely to audit returns with itemized deductions and also watches charitable contribution write-offs closely. Rules of Thumb When the IRS looks at your return, it compares your deductions to the ones that similar people claim. Based on a survey of 2011 tax returns, the IRS knows that someone making between $50,000 and $100,000 per year will claim a charitable donation deduction of $2,881 on average. While writing off $2,882 in charity probably won't raise a red flag, writing off $30,000 might. The IRS' Discriminant Function System calculates a DIF score for each return that estimates how likely it is to have unreported or underreported income based on its experience with other returns in the past. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be audited. What the IRS Seeks The IRS doesn't only look at how much charity you claimed relative to your income."

Growing up, I associated “doing your taxes” with being a grown man. Whenever tax season rolled around, I’d see my dad sitting at the dining room table on weekends, hunched over a coffee-stained 1040 instruction book made out of its distinctively cheap pulp, figuring out how much his and my mom’s adjusted gross income would be for the year. The charts, tables, and worksheets in the 1040 instruction book made figuring out your taxes seem like some sort of exercise in esoteric astrology that only the initiated could understand. Being the dork that I was, I couldn’t wait until I could fill out my own taxes. Fast forward to high school and I got my first real job busing tables at Chili’s. The money was good, and I had my share of all the free Chicken Crispers I wanted. When tax season rolled around, I asked my dad if he could initiate me into the secret teachings of the 1040 form and accompanying instruction book. I remember going through the worksheets and filling out the different lines with pencil first, and then having my mom double check my calculations, just like dad did. When I signed my name at the bottom of the form declaring that the numbers I reported were correct, I felt like I was taking a step into manhood."

No matter who you are pulling for, they continue to make the case that they need your dollars to win. According to Open Secrets, though less than 1% of the US population donates in the presidential election, they contribute nearly $1B dollars just to the top of ticket. Many people simply donate $5-10 but others donate up to the $2,500 limit. Do you know if the dollars you have donated are tax deductible? Short answer – NO. To be tax deductible, the organization you are donating to must have a 501c3 status with the IRS. One of the large stipulations for maintaining that nonprofit status is that 501c3 organizations “are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” What this means is campaigns are not nonprofit organizations and therefore not tax deductible."

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

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

Sure, you pay tax on your business profits. But there’s good news, too. You can potentially reduce your taxable income significantly by taking all the deductions you’re entitled to as business expenses. Knowing which expenses are deductible is important. If you are a shareholder or partner in the 25% tax bracket, for example, every dollar of deductions saves 25 cents of taxes. If you are located in a state that imposes an income tax, each write-off is worth even more because it will save you state taxes, as well."

Most of us are familiar with the idea of donating something to a charity and “writing it off.” But there is often some confusion about exactly what this means. Some believe that you can deduct contributions to any organization you want. Others insist that you can deduct the value of time spent volunteering. In fact, both of these ideas are wrong. Below, we’ll explain what charitable contributions really are and how they work: The Technical IRS Definition ( cliff1066™)A charitable contribution is when you donate money (including securities or business ownership interests), goods or services to an organization and deduct the market value of this contribution on your income tax return. An IRS webpage elaborates:“Contributions must be made to qualified organizations to be deductible. You cannot deduct contributions made to specific individuals, political organizations and candidates."

Saturday/July/09 2011 Exempt Organzations In the wake of the Citizens United decision, certain politically-interested donors have made large contributions to social welfare organizations. Under fire from some in Congress, the IRS has ceased its examination of some of these contributors for unreported gift tax on the contributions. Although the IRS is continuing to study this issue, the IRS has stated that any changes to current enforcement policy will be prospective only. On July 7, 2011, the IRS announced that it was dropping its announced gift tax examination of contributions to 501 (c) (4) social welfare organizations. Several months ago, tax practitioners disclosed that certain contributors to 501 (c) (4) social welfare organizations were being subjected to gift tax examination of their contributions. In the past few years, social welfare organizations have become a preferred vehicle form some forms of political activity because such contributions are not subject to disclosure under the Federal Election Campaign Act. However, unlike other vehicles for political activity, there is no explicit authority which exempts contributions to social welfare organizations from gift tax. Indeed, in 1982, the IRS ruled that such contributions were subject to gift tax. However, enforcement has been nonexistent."

Charitable donations go on line 40 of your Form 1040 tax return along with all your other itemized deductions. That’s the easy part. What you have to do to get to the number you enter on line 40 will take a little more work. You Must Itemize to Claim Donations If you look at line 40 on your tax return, you’ll see that it asks you to enter your “itemized deductions or your standard deduction.” You have a choice to make, because you can’t take both. You’ll want to take the option that amounts to more. For many people, the standard deduction for their filing status is greater than the total of all their itemized deductions, so taking the standard deduction is the better deal. It reduces their taxable income the most. But the only way to claim a deduction for charitable donations is to itemize."

The body of tax laws regarding political contributions are complex, so we’ve brought in an expert to help explain whether political contributions are tax deductible. With the 2018 political season in full-swing, candidates from both sides of the aisle are starting to hit up donors for cash. After making a contribution, donors often ask whether they can deduct contributions to a candidate or political cause of choice on their personal or business tax return. The simple answer is no, donations to political candidates and campaigns are not deductible. Confusion usually arises over the difference between political contributions and charitable contributions. Thus, there are two rules you need to keep in mind:1) Typically, deductible charitable contributions are those made to organizations that are tax-exempt under §501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This type of organization is specifically barred from attempting to influence legislation, or participating in any political campaign. Because of this, a political campaign or party will never fall under §501 (c) (3)."

Manage taxes by considering the role of losses, the timing of investments, and investment selection. Defer taxes by considering the use of tax-deferred accounts. Reduce taxes by considering strategies like donating appreciated securities to charity, and funding education expenses using a 529 plan. Investors spend untold hours researching stocks, bonds, and mutual funds with good return prospects. They read articles, watch investment shows, and ask friends for help and advice. But many of these investors could be overlooking another way to potentially add to their returns: tax efficiency.

Many people simply donate $5-10 but others donate up to the $2,500 limit. Do you know if the dollars you have donated are tax deductible? Short answer – NO. To be tax deductible, the organization you are donating to must have a 501c3 status with the IRS. One of the large stipulations for maintaining that nonprofit status is that 501c3 organizations “are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” What this means is campaigns are not nonprofit organizations and therefore not tax deductible."

Nonprofit organizations are trusts, corporations or associations that have been organized for a charitable purpose and can qualify for tax-exempt status from the federal government.

What are the advantages of nonprofit organizations? The main advantage of tax-exempt status for nonprofit organizations is obviously that they do not have to pay federal taxes on their net income. In that way, the earnings can be cycled back into the organization to improve it. Contributors to nonprofit corporations also receive a benefit: their contributions are tax deductible. Therefore, many contributors use donations to 501 (c) (4) organizations to manage their tax burden, to the benefit of the organization's budgets.

Frankel December 23, 2017 Email the author Many U. S. charities are worried the tax overhaul bill signed by President Trump on Friday could spur a landmark shift in philanthropy, speeding along the decline of middle-class donors and transforming charitable gift-giving into a pursuit largely left to the wealthy. The source of concern is how the tax bill is expected to sharply reduce the number of taxpayers who qualify for the charitable tax deduction — a big driver of gifts to nonprofits. One study predicts that donations will fall by at least $13 billion, about 4.5 percent, next year. That decline is expected to be concentrated among gifts from the middle of the income scale. The richest Americans will mostly keep their ability to take the tax break. That could create new winners and losers in philanthropy. Nonprofits have long noticed that the wealthy are more likely to cut big checks to support museums and universities, while smaller donors tend to give to social-service agencies and religious organizations. Charities fear that this shift could change how the public views donating and alter the priorities of nonprofits. \"\" The tax code is now poised to de-incentivize the heart of civic action in America,\"\" said Dan Cardinali, president of Independent Sector, a public-policy group for charities, foundations and corporate giving programs. \"\""

Donations to qualified charities are considered tax deductible expenses so they can reduce your taxable income, lowering your tax bill. Not everyone can deduct their charitable contributions, however. You must itemize your tax deductions to claim any charitable donation, and this is typically only in your best interest if the total of all your itemized deductions exceeds the amount of the standard deduction you would receive for your filing status. How to Claim a Deduction for Charitable Donations You claim a tax deduction for charitable giving on Schedule A of Form 1040. The schedule isn't just for claiming charitable donations. It includes and calculates all itemized deductions you're eligible to claim so you can transfer the total to your tax return in lieu of the standard deduction. Other possible itemized deductions include things like medical and dental expenses you paid for yourself or your dependents over the course of the year — including insurance premiums — as well as other taxes you may have paid and home mortgage interest. Rules for Claiming the Charitable Contribution Deduction The IRS imposes several rules for claiming a deduction for charitable contributions: You must actually donate cash or property. A pledge or promise to donate is not deductible until you actually pay."

"text": "Charitable Tax Deductions & the Ambiguous Donation Receipt G. E. Miller Last updated: January 2, 2018 36 Comments Prior to my current day job, I worked in fundraising for a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. In that role, the most common questions I received were around tax deductions and donation receipts. “Do I have to have a receipt to deduct my donation?”“What amount of donation do I have to have a receipt for?”“I only need a receipt if my donation is over $250, right?”I got these types of questions so often, that upon reflection today, it makes me wonder if people avoid itemizing their donations at all, for fear that they might get audited by the IRS. Taking it a step further, are people avoiding donating altogether because they don’t know how to properly document and deduct them? That would truly be a shame. If you itemize your taxes, you should DEFINITELY deduct your charitable contributions!To help clear up some of the confusion around what SHOULD be an easy topic, I decided to put together a little guide on deducting charitable donations and when you need proper documentation, such as a donation receipt or written acknowledgment. Donations & Standard Deductions First off, it’s worth noting that if you don’t itemize (like 60% of the country), a donation receipt is not needed because you cannot deduct your donation if you claim the standard deduction. Remember that all taxpayers are eligible for a standard deduction. The standard deduction is $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for married joint filers for 2017. The Republican Tax Reform Impact on Charitable Deductions I wrote about this at length, but the Republican “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (aka “Republican tax reform” will create a charitable donation deduction crash, because the standard deduction will be increased to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for joint filers starting in 2018."

"text": "Taxes Tax Filing 101The Tax Deduction for Charitable Donations Rules and Guidelines for Deducting Charitable Contributions Share Flip Pin Email•••By William Perez Updated February 24, 2018Even the Internal Revenue Service thinks it's better to give than to receive — at least the IRS gives you a tax break for giving. Donations to qualified charities are considered tax deductible expenses so they can reduce your taxable income, lowering your tax bill. Not everyone can deduct their charitable contributions, however. You must itemize your tax deductions to claim any charitable donation, and this is typically only in your best interest if the total of all your itemized deductions exceeds the amount of the standard deduction you would receive for your filing status. How to Claim a Deduction for Charitable Donations You claim a tax deduction for charitable giving on Schedule A of Form 1040. The schedule isn't just for claiming charitable donations. It includes and calculates all itemized deductions you're eligible to claim so you can transfer the total to your tax return in lieu of the standard deduction. Other possible itemized deductions include things like medical and dental expenses you paid for yourself or your dependents over the course of the year — including insurance premiums — as well as other taxes you may have paid and home mortgage interest. Rules for Claiming the Charitable Contribution Deduction The IRS imposes several rules for claiming a deduction for charitable contributions: You must actually donate cash or property. A pledge or promise to donate is not deductible until you actually pay."

"text": "Business Human Resources Workplace Defining Business-Casual Menswear Defining Business-Casual Menswear Related Book Business Etiquette For Dummies, 2nd Edition By Sue Fox Business casual can be a tough assignment for some men. Although most men understand formal or business dress, they might have difficulty defining business-casual dress. One of the biggest reasons men struggle with sharp casual clothing is because there is some gray area with company policies and the guidelines of business casual. Business casual and Friday casual are distinct from one another: Business casual: Generally means khaki pants, a plain polo shirt or a long-sleeved casual button-down oxford shirt, a V-neck sweater, sometimes a sports coat or blazer, and brown leather shoes. Loafers are a good choice, and you should wear socks. Casual (or Friday casual): Includes all the business-casual options, and in some companies, can include jeans (that aren’t torn or ratty), T-shirts (that are clean and inoffensive), and tennis shoes. Don’t forget these general guidelines: A short-sleeved shirt is, by definition, always a casual (or business-casual) shirt. Khaki and flannel pants are business casual for most businesses. Tank tops, shorts, and sandals are weekend wear, not business wear. Plain shirts are best, in general; shirts with ads on them are for fishing."

When your invitation reads “Black Tie Optional”, or “Black Tie Invited”, the host is leaving the final decision up to you. Most men will be wearing tuxedos, however if you don’t have one you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable in a dark suit. The big confusion with “Casual” on an invitation, comes from the fact that there are varying degrees of casual and just one word doesn’t cover it! Often the inviter has something in mind that isn’t properly communicated. “ Informal” may mean “casual” to the inviter, but it is not!“ In a tuxedo, I’m a star.

The polo shirt, as we know it today, found its start on the tennis court in the 19th and early 20th centuries. There was also some crossover to the sport of polo and of course, golf. The takeaway here, is that the polo shirt is rooted in sport and therefore casual occasions, which makes it a tough sell for most office dress codes. That being said, out here in the Denver area, the polo shirt would certainly pass muster in most offices as we tend to have relaxed dress codes. But if you really want to wear a polo shirt to the office, I’d recommend throwing on a sport coat as well for a bit of a compromise.

If dressing for the workplace or an event with the dress code of casual dress, it's best to still forgo denim or too-revealing outfits. A casual outfit worn to the beach is going to an entirely different type of look. Distressed denim will fall under some casual dress categories, but not others. History The 1920s was a decade when women started to look for alternatives to the constricting clothing they had been wearing for centuries past. This included pants, to-the-knee hems on skirts, lower waistlines (or no waistband at all in regards to the flapper dress). In the 1930s expensive fabrics such as silks became an immense luxury for men's and women's clothing, and people made clothing out of items they already had on hand, such as feed bags. The rationing of nylon during World War II meant women started to make do without hosiery. In the 1950s denim jeans became a more popular look, particularly for men, with influence from movie stars such as Marlon Brando and James Dean."

Some of the most popular fashions are classic, they can stand the test of time and hardly ever \"\"go out of style\"\", only experiencing minor changes to keep up with the trends. Other clothing items could be considered \"\"fads\"\", styles that are only popular for a short season and then never worn again. Often certain fashion trends are dependent on the tastes of particular groups of people or cliques and are usually associated with social status or cultural preferences like the type of music a person likes. Fashion can also be influenced by world events such as war or the economy. For example, during World War II, people were only allowed a certain amount of fabric so they were forced to create simple outfits that were practical enough for wartime duties. From the 1920s to the 1990s, popular fashions reflected the mood of each decade and showcased changes in society as the styles of clothing and accessories evolved with the times. Dresses and Skirts - From Mini to Maxi, Pleats to Pencil Changes in skirts and dress fashion have changed and varied dramatically between the 1920s to the present, as well as within each decade. In 1920, only a few years after World War I, skirt and dress hemlines rose and waist lines lowered to the hip. These changes accompanied the boyish flapper fashions that marked the 1920's as a decade of decadence and fun."

July 17, 2014 by Jonathan Mark 3 Comments1.4KShare 1.1K Tweet Pin 271 Share Email Save For some cruise lines the “dress code” is more of a suggestion. But others prefer to keep a classy ambiance for their cruisers. Before you go on your cruise, especially if it is with a cruise line you have not sailed with before, make sure you know what kind of attire is recommended so you can pack appropriately and not stick out like a sore thumb. Every cruise line has its own dress code, so here is a basic breakdown of what each cruise line recommends for both casual attire and formal nights. If you want to get really dressed up for our cruise but don’t have a suit or tuxedo, keep in mind that these can be provided for you on most cruise ships. Sponsored Links Carnival Carnival recommends a more casual approach to attire. The line suggests shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts. Foot wear with traction is recommended to avoid any slipping."

Also, assume that jeans, shorts, and tank tops are probably not appropriate unless they're specifically noted as acceptable. Him: Dress pants with a button-down shirt or polo. Her: Summer sundress, skirt, or pants with a nice blouse. Makeup and hair can be natural and everyday.

"text": "\"Society & Culture Etiquette What can I wear to a restaurant with a \"\"smart casual\"\" dress code? Would a simple little black dress suffice? Or should I step it up a notch? Update: And what should my boyfriend wear? We have reservations at the Gotham Bar & Grill in Union Square. Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: a nice cocktail dress but you can wear a nice white blouse.. with a little bit of a neckline.. an elegant white blouse and a neat black skirt... and nice black shoes.. to go with it.. and perhaps black pantyhose... and a nice hairdo.. or a pantsuit.. a nice one... definitely no long evening gown.. don't overdress.. . smart casual means... he doesn't have to wear a suit.. he could wear smart linen pants.. a white shirt and a tie.. and carry a light weight jacket. that looks smartish or he could wear a blazer.. and some nice shoes that compliment the outfit and nicely goomed hair .. for him too.. you can wear some make up.. not too much and some jewellety.. .. ''Less i more.. rather one really nice piece of jewellery that goes well with the rest of the outfit than to wear too much jewellery.. and a watch everyone can wear that.... If you have long hair you can put your hair up.. and adorn it with a nice hair pin... and if you have dark hair.. gold jewellery looks better and if you have pierced ears.. and you wear your hair up.. then dangling creoles with some zirconia or diamond studs look great or any other gold earrings.. and if you are blonde.. Silver looks better... I find.. if you have dark eyes don' [t use blue eye shadow.. but you can use golden tones and earth tones or greens.. if you are blonde you can wear blues... for your eyes... a simple belt if you have a nice one can be enough for a black cocktail dress.. you don't even need that.. you can also wear a red one.. who says all cocktail dresses have to be black.. but if you got a black one.. that's is never wrong... and instead of a belt and a jacket you could wear a neck scarf that matches the dress..plus it won' [t be so hot but that would look best if the cocktail dress has a tiny bit of cleavage... xxx Vera Gabriele · 10 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Smart Casual also puts in the same frame of mind as business causal. Black pair of pants nice top or blouse, your husband could wears slacks (pressed)either a polo or shirt and tie. The kids could basically dress like the both of you."

"text": "\"Even if the dress code is \"\"casual,\"\" there still are guidelines, and they don't include flip-flops, logo T-shirts or yoga pants. Decoding the \"\"casual attire\"\" dress code depends the event and the location. Dressy casual, business casual, smart casual and country club casual call for similar, but sometimes slightly different, styles. Each venue -- whether it's a workplace, restaurant or resort -- interprets \"\"casual\"\" slightly differently, so it's best to ask what's appropriate when you can.credit: gregory_lee/i Stock/Getty Images How To Dress In Casual Attire Don't confuse casual with sloppy. You can look put together while feeling comfy. Going to a place of worship or dinner at a nice restaurant calls for casual that shows a bit of effort. Women should avoid tennis shoes and cotton tees. Dress pants or a skirt with a button-down or flowing blouse are appropriate. Patent leather flats or modest heels keep it casual. Men should avoid jeans, and instead opt for trousers, chinos or khakis."

You are most certainly entitled to that opinion and I don’t fault you for having it. The fact remains, however, that polos are popular and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Why not wear them well? This guide aims to help those who don’t have an aversion for polos find the good ones or, for anyone curious, to maybe learn something they didn’t previously know. Criticism is fine, but let’s keep it constructive. Thanks for understanding – let’s get on with it :]Why the hate?

"text": "\"Photographer’s Dress Code – What to Wear to a Photo Shoot A Post By: Suzi Pratt As a budding photographer, one of the biggest questions that will eventually come to mind is, “What should I wear to a photo shoot? Is there a photographer’s dress code?” The answer varies widely depending on the type of photo shoot you’re conducting, the specific client you’re working with, your overall style and brand as a photographer, and the culture of the region where you’re shooting. A portrait photographer, for example, may have more flexibility in how he or she dresses compared to a corporate event photographer. Similarly, a photographer shooting in the West Coast of America will likely be able to dress more casually than an East Coast photographer. All variations aside, here are some general photographer dress code guidelines to start off with. By Michael Broad1. Invest in a solid, comfortable pair of shoes Regardless of what kind of photo shoot you’ll be conducting, start with shoes. Consider that you’ll likely be standing for hours on end, so comfort and ergonomics are key. Also, think about the terrain you might encounter during your shoot, and the seasonal weather."

"text": "\"The Sciences How are polymers made? Frank N. Kelley, dean of the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron, provides the following explanation. Synthetic polymers are produced by chemical reactions, termed \"\"polymerizations.\"\" Polymerizations occur in varied forms--far too many to examine here--but such reactions consist of the repetitive chemical bonding of individual molecules, or monomers. Assorted combinations of heat, pressure and catalysis alter the chemical bonds that hold monomers together, causing them to bond with one another. Most often, they do so in a linear fashion, creating chains of monomers called polymers. Some polymerizations join entire monomers together, whereas others join only portions of monomers and create \"\"leftover\"\" materials, or by-products. Co-polymers can be formed using two or more different monomers. And two or more polymers can be combined to produce an alloy, or blend, that displays characteristics of each component. For an example, let's consider the common plastic polyethylene, which is found in such items as grocery bags, toys and bottles."

This introduction will show some advancements in polymer technology that lead to the need for the development of new and better polymers. These new and better polymers, including polyethylene, were used to sustain the development of more new technologies in the polymer industry. Also this introduction will show how the discovery of polyethylene aided in the development of the polymer industry. History and Advancements of Thermoplastic Polymers The uses of naturally occurring polymers, including tortoise shell and horn, are referenced throughout history. These compounds are natural cellulose materials that are produced by many animals. These compounds are unique because they possess special processing capabilities. The most important capability of these polymers is the fact that they can be heated to a softening temperature, and while at this temperature the material can be formed to a desired shape, and once the material is allowed to cool the desired shape is retained. The early uses of these materials have been shown as household utensils, including spoons, goblets, and bowls. These discoveries can be called the beginnings of thermoplastic polymers."

[ 1] [2] Large numbers of monomers combine to form polymers in a process called polymerization. Contents [ hide ]1 Classification2 Synthetic monomers3 Biopolymers4 Natural monomers4.1 Amino acids4.2 Nucleotides4.3 Glucose and related sugars4.4 Isoprene5 See also6 Notes7 External links Classification [ edit]Monomers can be classified in many ways. They can be subdivided into two broad classes, depending on the kind of the polymer that they form. Monomers that participate in condensation polymerization have a different stoichiometry than monomers that participate in addition polymerization: [3]This nylon is formed by condensation polymerization of two monomers, yielding water. Other classifications include:natural vs synthetic monomers, e.g. glycine vs caprolactam, respectivelypolar vs nonpolar monomers, e.g. vinyl acetate vs ethylene, respectivelycyclic vs linear, e.g. ethylene oxide vs ethylene glycol, respectively The polymerization of one kind of monomer gives a homopolymer. Many polymers are copolymers, meaning that they are derived from two different monomers. In the case of condensation polymerizations, the ratio of comonomers is usually 1:1. For example, the formation of many nylons requires equal amounts of a dicarboxylic acid and diamine. In the case of addition polymerizations, the comonomer content is often only a few percent."

"text": "\"NEXTAn elementary student examines a molecular model. Hero Images/Getty Images To understand a monomer, picture a set of beads made for a very young child, designed to interlock together. Each individual bead is an item on its own, but it can also snap tightly together with another bead, forming something entirely different. The term monomer comes from the Greek words mono, meaning \"\"one,\"\" and meros, which means \"\"part.\"\" Put them together to form \"\"one part,\"\" and they describe a monomer: any one molecule that joins with other monomers to create a larger molecule. One common natural monomer is glucose, for example, which commonly bonds with other molecules to make starch and glycogen. Just like the interlocking beads, the monomers must connect properly. This occurs through a chemical process called polymerization, where two separate molecules bind together by sharing pairs of electrons, forming a covalent bond [source: Larsen ]. The two monomers joining together can be the same kind, or they can be different. The result of this union is called a polymer, which is a structure made from many repeating monomer units, forming a long chain [source: Larsen ]."

Polymers consist of repeating molecular units which usually are joined by covalent bonds. Here is a closer look at the chemistry of monomers and polymers. Monomers The word monomer comes from mono- (one) and -mer (part). Monomers are small molecules which may be joined together in a repeating fashion to form more complex molecules called polymers. Monomers form polymers by forming chemical bonds or binding supramolecularly through a process called polymerization. Sometimes polymers are made from bound groups of monomer subunits (up to a few dozen monomers) called oligomers. To qualify as an oligomer, the properties of the molecule need change significantly if one or a few subunits are added or removed."

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Boost Your Intake of Polyphenol Antioxidants Polyphenols have recently been termed “lifespan essentials”, and they actively work in the body to prevent certain disease mechanisms from occurring. [ 1] Polyphenols are antioxidants from plant foods that work in the body to enhance health in complex ways, and as such they are not simply antioxidants. [ 2] Their specific health-promoting actions are still being actively researched, and it is generally recognized that they can reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and basically help to protect many body systems from the risks or ravages of many types of chronic disease. [ 3] It is possible that the health promoting effects of polyphenols are not due to their antioxidant qualities, but rather because they help control blood sugar spikes after meals. [ 4] Boosting one's intake of polyphenols on a daily basis is easy to do, and can be a tasty, gourmet adventure. Steps1 Eat and drink polyphenol-rich foods throughout the day. Maintain high levels of polyphenols in your body and bloodstream throughout the day! Eat and drink the polyphenol-rich foods that are described below every few hours. Blood levels of polyphenols will peak soon after they are consumed, then decrease as they are metabolized or excreted from the body. Some polyphenols will not be absorbed into the bloodstream, but will merely pass through the digestive tract."

There are over 8,000 identified polyphenols found in foods such as tea, wine, chocolates, fruits, vegetables, and extra virgin olive oil, 1 just to name a few. Polyphenols play an important role in maintaining your health and wellness. Antioxidants as a group help protect the cells in your body from free radical damage, thereby controlling the rate at which you age. If your body does not get adequate protection, free radicals can become rampant, causing your cells to perform poorly. This can lead to tissue degradation and put you at risk of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease, for example. Antioxidants 2 can be divided into three major groups: Carotenoids, which are discussed in greater detail in my \"\"Basic Vitamin A Primer\"\"Allyl sulfides, found in garlic and onions Polyphenols 3, 4 (also known as phenolics)Types of Polyphenols Polyphenols can be further broken down into four categories, with additional subgroupings 5, 6 based on the number of phenol rings they contain, and on the basis of structural elements that bind these rings to one another. As a general rule, foods contain complex mixtures of polyphenols, with higher levels found in the outer layers of the plants than the inner parts: 7• Flavonoids, which have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, red wine, and green tea◦ Flavones◦ Flavonols◦ Flavanones◦ Isoflavones◦ Anthocyanidins◦ Chalcones◦ Catechins• Stilbenes, found in red wine and peanuts ( resveratrol is the most well known)• Lignans, found in seeds like flax, legumes, cereals, grains, fruits, algae, and certain vegetables• Phenolic acids◦ Hydroxybenzoic acids, found in tea◦ Hydroxycinnamic acids found in cinnamon of course but also in coffee, blueberries, kiwifruits, plums, apples, and cherries The Role of Polyphenols in Plants and Humans Polyphenols give fruits, berries, and vegetables their vibrant colors, and contribute to the bitterness, astringency, flavor, aroma, and oxidative stability of the food."

Whole milk was grouped with beer, with a recommendation for zero ounces a day, in part out of concern for links between milk and prostate cancer, as well as aggressive ovarian cancer. Number two on the list, though, after water, was tea and coffee, preferably without creamer or sweetener. Even without creamer, though, lots of unfiltered coffee can raise cholesterol, but the oily cholesterol-raising compounds are trapped by the paper filter in brewed coffee, so filtered coffee is probably better.

The confusion is compounded by the fact that we as scientist don’t really know the best way to measure the power of antioxidants in foods. There are all kinds of measures – Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC), etc. It is just confusing. But, thanks to a group of French scientists, things are now a little less confusing. These researchers got together in an effort to organize a large portion of this information by compiling a polyphenol database. Polyphenols are a very large class of antioxidants.

The main culprit is the computed tomography (CT) scan which exposes patients to the equivalent amount of radiation received by atomic bomb survivors in the low-dose range. 1Published scientific studies document that these excessive amounts of radiation will result in catastrophic numbers of new cancers due to DNA mutation. 1-3 Epidemiologists estimate that as many as 29,000 new cancers could be related to CT scans performed in the US in 2007 alone. 2 There are now approximately 70 million CT scans performed every year, up from a mere 3 million in 1980. 4,5As if this were not bad enough, shocking revelations in the New York Times and scientific publications last year exposed frightening inattention to the risks of X-ray equipment, specifically computed tomography (CT) scanners. 6-8 In one case, more than 200 older adults received up to 8 times the normal radiation dose during brain scans. 6 In another, a 2-year-old boy was left with visible skin changes and a significant probability of cataracts within a few years, following lengthy over-exposure. 6While CT scans provide important diagnostic information that can save lives, their growing frequency is putting an enormous population at risk for a range of lethal cancers.

The amount of active ingredients and minerals in yerba mate changes depending on certain conditions, such as genetic differences between plants. A research document published in 2009 disclosed the results of a study showing the amount of active ingredients in eight genetically different types of yerba plant. All the plants were grown in the same place and their leaves were simultaneously collected for analysis. The biggest difference was evident in relation to the amount of triterpenoid saponins (from 0.003 to 0.080%), caffeine (from 0.226 to 1.377%), theobromine (from 0.176 to 0.831%), a smaller difference was found in relation to chlorogenic acid (from 1.344 to 2.031%). 4The conditions under which the plant is cultivated are of high importance. Too much sunlight (incl. UV rays) might lead to increased production of polyphenols. 5 Generally speaking plants which are exposed to less light and grow in stressful conditions (e.g. are under constant insect attack) produce higher amounts of defensive materials such as caffeine 6 and polyphenols 5 but at the same time plants growing in shade produce more minerals (micro and macro elements)."

One drawback, however, is its caffeine content, which can affect some tea drinkers negatively. Brew Gaiwan Tea These are simple and effective measures to enjoy the health benefits of green tea without suffering its caffeine side effects. Steps1 Know your green tea. The younger the tea leaves, the more caffeine will be produced in the tea. The most prized part of green tea is the terminal bud and the adjacent two leaves, also called the tea flush. They are the sweetest, but also contain the most caffeine. Color is a poor indicator of caffeine levels - Gyokuro, a top level Japanese green tea, contains more caffeine than a dark tea such as Lapsang Souchong. High grade teas are made from the bud and two adjacent leaves (the tea flush), where the caffeine content is highly concentrated. On the plus side, these are the sweetest part of the tea and also contain the catechins and the theanine (mentioned below).2 Become familiar with your level of tolerance."

Tagged: antioxidants, healthy eating, super foods, superfoods,tea There are heaps of websites and food packs out there that try to compare this super food to that one. Depending on which testing method is used, you'll see sites and ads proclaiming that blueberries have more antioxidants than red wine; that goji has more than blueberries; that pomegranate juice has more than tea; and that dark chocolate is up there with all of them. Generally I don't pay too much attention to these comparisons for a couple of reasons.1. The tests vary in what they measure. Results depend on which test is used e.g. ORAC, FRAP, Folin. Also there will be a wide variation in natural antioxidant levels from season to season and variety to variety (red grapefruit vs yellow grapefruit). Nonetheless the same foods appear at the top of each test method - the usual suspects of berries, spices, herbs, tea, cocoa and wine.2."

Triacylglycerols are the major energy reserve for plants and animals. Chemically speaking, these are molecules derived from the natural esterification of three fatty acid molecules with a glycerol molecule. The glycerol molecule can simplistically be seen as an \"\"E-shaped\"\" molecule, with the fatty acids in turn resembling longish hydrocarbon chains, varying (in the case of olive oil) from about 14 to 24 carbon atoms in length. FATTY ACIDS Please note that we are dealing here with fatty acids forming part of the triacylglycerol molecule. We will address the free fatty acids in the next section. The fatty acid composition of olive oil varies widely depending on the cultivar, maturity of the fruit, altitude, climate, and several other factors. A fatty acid has the general formula: CH3 (CH2)n COOH where n is typically an even number between 12 and 22. If no double bonds are present the molecule is called a saturated fatty acid. If a chain contains double bonds, it is called an unsaturated fatty acid."

PJ polyphenols and sugar-containing polyphenolic anthocyanins were shown to confer PJ its antioxidant capacity. In the present study, we questioned whether PJ simple or complex sugars contribute to the antioxidative properties of PJ in comparison to white grape juice (WGJ) sugars. Whole PJ decreased cellular peroxide levels in J774A.1 macrophage cell-line by 23% more than PJ polyphenol fraction alone. Thus, we next determined the contribution of the PJ sugar fraction to the decrease in macrophage oxidative state. Increasing concentrations of the PJ sugar fraction resulted in a dose-dependent decrement in macrophage peroxide levels, up to 72%, compared to control cells. On the contrary, incubation of the cells with WGJ sugar fraction at the same concentrations resulted in a dose-dependent increment in peroxide levels by up to 37%. The two sugar fractions from PJ and from WGJ showed opposite effects (antioxidant for PJ and pro-oxidant for WGJ) also in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM) from control as well as from streptozotocin-induced diabetic Balb/C mice. PJ sugar consumption by diabetic mice for 10 days resulted in a small but significant decrement in their peritoneal macrophage total peroxide levels and an increment in cellular glutathione content, compared to MPM harvested from control diabetic mice administrated with water. In contrast, WGJ sugar consumption by diabetic mice resulted in a 22% increment in macrophage total peroxide levels and a 45% decrement in cellular glutathione content."

During processing, black teas from different clones differ in their levels of gallic acid, individual catechins and antioxidant activity. Dependant on the processing conditions of the black tea clones, the levels of gallic acid, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), total polyphenols and consequently antioxidant activity vary significantly. Gallic acid, (+)-catechin, EGCG and total polyphenols are the major contributors to black tea antioxidant activity. The black teas processed show more than 70% inhibition of α,α-DPPH radical solution. Optimal clone-specific processing conditions can therefore be utilized to add value to black tea with regard to antioxidant activity.

The confusion is compounded by the fact that we as scientist don’t really know the best way to measure the power of antioxidants in foods. There are all kinds of measures – Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC), etc. It is just confusing. But, thanks to a group of French scientists, things are now a little less confusing.

Function of fat Fat is a macronutrient. There are three macronutrients: protein, fats and carbohydrates. Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. Large amounts are required to sustain life, hence the term “macro,” according to the University of Illinois Mc Kinley Health Center.

However, like anything in the body, too much cholesterol or cholesterol in the wrong places creates problems. Like fat, cholesterol does not dissolve in water. Instead, its transport in the body depends on molecules called lipoproteins, which carry cholesterol, fat and fat-soluble vitamins in the blood. Different kinds of lipoproteins have different effects on health. For example, high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) result in cholesterol deposits in blood vessel walls, which can lead to clogged arteries, strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure ( 1 ). In contrast, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) helps carry cholesterol away from vessel walls and helps prevent these diseases ( 2 ).

Vegetable oils (and margarine, made from these oils) are oils extracted from seeds like the rapeseed (canola oil) soybean (soybean oil), corn, sunflower, safflower, etc. They were practically non-existent in our diets until the early 1900s when new chemical processes allowed them to be extracted.

NOT A SHOT!Most of what is labeled as \"\"vegetable oil\"\" is simply heavily refined soybean oil (processed under high heat, pressure, and industrial solvents, such as hexane)... sometimes perhaps it may also be heavily refined cottonseed, safflower, corn, grapeseed, or other oils too. In most instances, almost all of these processed oils are NOT HEALTHY for you. I'll explain why below... If you buy processed food or deep fried food, you can usually be certain that these unhealthy oils are used to prepare your foods (or worse, it may use hydrogenated versions of these oils... aka - trans fats). You may have even bought some of these oils for your own cooking or baking at home. The problem with soybean oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, safflower oil, and other similar \"\"vegetable oils\"\" is that they are mostly composed of polyunsaturated fats (the most highly reactive type of fat) which leaves them prone to oxidation and free radical production when exposed to heat and light. Processed polyunsaturated oils are the most inflammatory inside our bodies because of their high reactivity to heat and light."

Learn all about dietary fats and how getting too much or too little affects our health. Does my body need fats? Yes, it does. Dietary fats are essential to give your body energy and to support cell growth. They also help protect your organs and help keep your body warm. Fats help your body absorb some nutrients and produce important hormones, too. Your body definitely needs fat. How many different fats are there? There are four major dietary fats in the foods we eat: Saturated fats Trans fats Monounsaturated fats Polyunsaturated fats The four types have different chemical structures and physical properties."

In fact, some fats actually help promote good health. But it's wise to choose the healthier types of dietary fat and then enjoy them — in moderation. The facts about fat There are numerous types of fat. Your body makes its own fat from taking in excess calories. Some fats are found in foods from plants and animals and are known as dietary fat. Dietary fat is a macronutrient that provides energy for your body. Fat is essential to your health because it supports a number of your body's functions."

"text": "What are Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated Fats? Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat are both unsaturated fats. “ Poly” means many unsaturated chemical bonds and “mono” means one unsaturated chemical bond. These unsaturated fats are often found in liquid vegetable oils. Polyunsaturated oils are liquid at room temperature and in the refrigerator. Common sources of polyunsaturated fat are safflower, sesame and sunflower seeds, corn and soybeans, many nuts and seeds, and their oils. Monounsaturated oils are liquid at room temperature but start to solidify at refrigerator temperatures. Canola, olive, and peanut oils, and avocados are sources of monounsaturated fat. Both types of unsaturated fats may help lower your blood cholesterol level when used in place of saturated fat in your diet. Remember to be moderate in your intake of all types of fat."

By Emily Benfit 126 Comments Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post What’s worse for your health than processed white flour, refined sugar, or high fructose corn syrup? You might be surprised. Let’s have a little look at our food supply in recent history, shall we? At the turn of the last century, corn and soybeans were fast becoming the largest crop grown in the US. When they started becoming by far the cheapest crops we were growing, thanks to government subsidies, marketing geniuses in the booming ag industry thought of a great plan. Genius, right? ! This whole movement toward the use of polyunsaturated fats, instead of saturated fats, culminated a few decades later with the advent of the lipid hypothesis — the fraudulent claim made by one really terrible scientist that told everyone saturated fat and cholesterol were the cause of heart disease. We all know how that’s played out. Saturated fat is still demonized to this day, while consumption of unsaturated fats, especially PUFA’s, are encouraged by practitioners of mainstream medicine."

"text": "Types of Dietary Fat There are three main types of fat in food: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Other types of fat are cholesterol and fats formed during processing of unsaturated oils (hydrogenated fat and trans-fat). Saturated Fat The saturated form of fat is usually solid at room temperature. Key food sources are animal fats such as butter, lard, milk, cheese, cream, and the fat in meat and poultry. Tropical oils like palm and coconut oils also contain large amounts of saturated fat. Saturated fat is most closely associated with increased health risks. This fat has been shown to increase “bad” cholesterol levels (LDL cholesterol) and decrease “good” cholesterol levels (HDL cholesterol). For this reason, our saturated fat intake should be limited to no more than 10% of calories. In older adults, this would be about 20 g/day for women and 25 g/day for men. Monounsaturated Fat Monounsaturated fats appear to lower “bad” cholesterol levels in our blood while increasing “good” cholesterol."

"text": "\"Healthy Women Administration If you want to eat a heart-healthy diet, watch unhealthy fat and cholesterol. Limiting the amount of saturated and trans fats you eat can help you lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of coronary artery disease. Choose healthy fats like those found in olive oil, canola oil and trans fat-free margarine instead of the ones in butter, creamy sauces, hydrogenated margarine and shortening. Look for monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, like the ones found in healthy oils, nuts, seeds, soy (tofu) and seafood. Real Age Administration When it comes to heart health, monounsaturated fat is the best fat. It helps lower your total and unhealthy low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and boosts healthy high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. In a Canadian study, volunteers who replaced 13 percent of carbohydrates with monounsaturated fat lowered their LDL cholesterol by 35 percent and improved their HDL cholesterol by 12.5 percent in just 4 weeks. Smart sources of monounsaturated fat include olive oil, canola oil, nuts and nut oils, avocados, and sesame oil. Anthony L. Komaroff, MDInternal Medicine One of the biggest dietary developments since the 1990s has been the understanding that not all fats are bad. Some fats are better than others -- and some are actually good for you and your heart."

"text": "\"How Much Polyunsaturated Fats Should You Consume? Fitday Editor Nutrition Fats Polyunsaturated fats, or \"\"good\"\" fats as they are commonly known as, are simply those fats that have greater than one double-bonded carbon in their molecules. Typically liquid at room temperature, these fats have been shown to have a positive effect on health when consumed in moderation and in place of the less healthy saturated fats and trans fats. How Polyunsaturated Fats Benefit Your Health Polyunsaturated fats have been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels in your blood, as well as lower the risk of heart disease by slowing blood clotting. Because they include the essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, they also play a critical role in both brain function and the growth and development of your body. Polyunsaturated fats have also been shown to help reduce the symptoms related to arthritis, many general joint problems and several skin diseases. How Much Polyunsaturated Fat You Should Eat25% to 35% of your total calories eaten in a day should be derived from fat. For the best health, the majority of these fats should come from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Depending on your total caloric intake on a daily basis, your polyunsaturated fat consumption will vary. Where Polyunsaturated Fats Are Found Polyunsaturated fats are primarily in fish and plant products."

Vivacious and spirited, bold and brash, the typical Pomeranian thinks he's \"\"hot stuff. \"\" This sharp-eyed busybody likes to check out every sight, sound, and activity – and tell you what he thinks about it. He is delightfully alive and aware of everything going on around him. Keenly alert to approaching strangers, the Pomeranian makes a great alarm dog. But this can easily get out of hand, so he requires early socialization so that he doesn't become sharp or shrill. Most Pomeranians are fine with other pets.

Photo Credit: Oso – Armando Gurrola, (Used with Permission)There is Very Little Breed History Started just five years ago, by a couple of breeders in Arizona, this unnatural cross requires that a female Husky be artificially inseminated by a male Pomeranian to create a first generation Pomsky Dog Breed. Most bred Pomskies today are still first generation dogs, which means that their genetic make-up can vary widely from puppy to puppy. Some Pomskies have mostly Husky characteristics while others are much more similar to their Pomeranian parent. It’s difficult to tell exactly how big or small a Pomsky will be until they are full grown."

"text": "\"Pomeranian Dog Breed Dog Group: Toy Group Class: Toy Description The Pomeranian, or Pom as it is sometimes called, is a very luxurious, fluffy little dog with a sharp, fox-like face and a very pretty, alert face. The coat of the Pomeranian is long and straight with a fluffed-up under-coat that makes the Pomeranian look like a ball of fluff. The coat comes in a variety of colors including white, black brown and blue, and can also come on bi-colors of white with colored patches. The neck area of the Pomeranian appears to have a fur ruffle, where the long hair frames the neck and head. This breed has very dark almond-shaped eyes that lend it an intelligent and alert expression, and its ears are small, triangular and erect. Temperament The Pomeranian is an energetic and lively little dog that enjoys learning and is always keen. This enthusiastic breed is very courageous for its small size, and is always loyal to its owner and family. Curious and cheerful, the Pomeranian sees itself as bigger than it is and will not think twice about going for a larger dog if necessary. This is an affectionate breed, but can get nervous and snappy. For this reason, the Pomeranian is not recommended for families with very young children that may tease it without knowing any better."

This is because the Pomeranian is a toy dog, in regard to class size determined by the AKC. Toy are the smallest class and they include not only the Pom, but the Chihuahua, Pug, Shih Tzu, Maltese and other dogs that are small in regard to body structure, weight and height Therefore, technically, a toy Pomeranian can be a term used to describe the natural size of this breed. However, one must be very aware that some breeders, pet stores and others may refer to a Pom as a \"\"Toy Pomeranian\"\" and their intention is to claim that they have a special & unique dog that is smaller than the average breed standard. It must be strongly noted that there is only 1 type of Pomeranian. There is no such official offspring or varieties as the Toy, Miniature , Teacup.... Or any other name that implies that the dog will grow up to be smaller than the standard. A standard, healthy Pom will grow to be an adult weight between 3 and 7 pounds (1.36 to 3.175 kg). Their height (from paw to shoulder) will be between 8 and 11 inches (20.32 to 27.94 cm). This is small enough. Let's take a look at what can happen when someone breeds puppies to be smaller than this.... How small must the Pom be before people realize that there is no need to try to produce a \"\"Toy Pomeranian\"\"?"

"text": "Diet & Nutrition, Grooming, Health & Wellness, Personality & Temperament Pomeranian Lifespan: Do Teacups Live Longer? September 12, 2013 Author On average, the Pomeranian lifespan can range from 12-16 years with some living to be 19 or older not uncommon. The longevity of each individual dog will depend on numerous factors. These factors can be broken down into two distinct categories: environmental and dog specific. Some argue that the dog food we buy at various pet stores in America manufactured by large companies are actually shortening the lifespan of our pets and that we can actually lengthen the lifespan of our dogs by several years if we pursue alternative food options. Environmental Factors Influencing Pomeranian Lifespan One could put together an exhaustive and extensive list of environmental factors influencing the lifespan of your dog, but we will stick to the most important ones. Healthy well-balanced diets Exercise and routine veterinarian check ups, including preventative dental maintenance Stress factors Feeding your Pomeranian a healthy, well-balanced diet to ensure the proper ingestion of needed vitamins and minerals is essential. This will help provide your dog with healthy skin and hair and hopefully limit shedding and hair loss. Additionally, proper diet is the singular biggest factor in ensuring strong bones that are so susceptible to breakage. Exercise and dental/medical check ups are just as important for canines as they are with humans."

"text": "How Much Does a Pomeranian Dog Cost? If you like the Pomeranian dog breed, you might want to buy a Pomeranian puppy, but how much does a Pomeranian cost? Well, the price of a Pomeranian varies a lot depending on the availability of Pomeranian puppies in your area. However, you can expect a Pomeranian puppy to cost anywhere between $500 to $1600. The best age to adopt a puppy is between 2 and 4 months. That’s old enough for the puppies to get by without their mothers and young enough for them to easily adjust with a new environment. When breeders fail to sell the puppies before the puppies are already over 4 months old, they usually lower the price. That’s why you might find a breeder selling Pomeranian puppies for as little as $500 or $600 while others ask more than $1000. Other Things to Consider Keep in mind that owning a dog is a great responsibility, and before getting one, you need to ask yourself are you really ready for taking care of a dog.

Misconceptions According to Pet Pom, teacup, or miniature, breeds of Pomeranians do not exist because they are small dogs by nature. Pet Pom calls breeders who specifically breed Pomeranians that do not reach acceptable weight limits unethical. Pomeranians that do not meet their natural weight are in danger of health problems. Size Pomeranians are very small dogs that average in size between 3 and 7 lbs. Pomeranians originated in Iceland. During that time, they were solid white with thick, heavy coats and reached up to 20 pounds. They were used then as sled dogs."

My desire to write this article stems from a belief that too many of us get too hung-up on carrying a suitcase full of lures lest we should find ourselves without the \"\"magic\"\" lure we think we need.

This opinion is shared by every red-blooded angler who’s had a surface bait torpedoed by a brown missile. In an explosion of white spray and bronze flash, the lure disappears before your eyes and a wild aerial show is likely to follow. “Topwater fishing for smallmouths has always been a blend of folklore and fact,” explains Tennessee smallmouth guide Jim Duckworth. “ Over the years, a lot of misinformation has been passed around. For example, many anglers have been led to believe surface baits are rarely effective outside early morning and late evening. In truth, opportunities to catch smallmouths on top arise throughout the day, from late spring into the late fall. ”Bassmaster Elite pro Edwin Evers says as long as the water temperature exceeds 55°F and bass are feeding up, looking for baitfish high in the water column, topwater is an option. Joe Balog, Great Lakes smallmouth guide and tournament angler, is quick to point out differences in topwater presentations between largemouths and smallmouths. “ For largemouths, I generally target isolated cover."

The rush kicks in immediately, and for a few moments you'll feel like the bass drum has got inside your head, the lights have been turned up to a zillion watts and your heart is attempting a solo flight. Generally coming in small glass bottles - or, more rarely, glass phials - costing between £2-£5, amyl nitrite is normally snorted out of the open bottle, although some people like to get adventurous by inhaling a cigarette that has been dipped into the liquid (do not light the cigarette! Amyl nitrite is is a highly volatile flammable liquid!) First produced in 1857 as a treatment for angina, amyl nitrite evaporates at room temperature. The vapour released causes your veins and arteries to dilate resulting in the blood flowing faster through the heart and the brain. On the dancefloor it feels like you've been hit by a percussive thunderbolt, and if you're having sex it feels like your sexual organs have grown to Herculean proportions. The effect only lasts for a few moments and you might feel a little light headed for a minute or so afterwards. Some people react differently to amyl and suffer pounding headaches, dizziness and a flushed face, or feel like they're starring in 'Scanners'."

But there are treatments that work.i Stock Photo If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, you're not alone. Erectile dysfunction is estimated to affect around one in five Australian men over age 40 to some extent, while about one in 10 men are completely unable to have an erection. Erectile dysfunction is largely a disease of the older man. By age 70, about seven in 10 men will have some degree of erectile dysfunction. Causes Erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Getting an erection depends on a good blood and nerve supply to the penis. A sexual stimulus activates nerves that dilate blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow into the network of veins in two expandable sponge-like shafts in the penis called the corpora cavernosa. Valves prevent the blood flowing back out so the penis stays hard until after either ejaculation or the removal of the sexual stimulus. Causes of erectile dysfunction include physical problems, lifestyle factors and psychological factors."

The band's music covers a variety of genres, including blues rock, psychedelic rock, folk rock, soul, and Southern rock. It is known for extensive use of segues in their live performances, and was considered a key part of the re-emerging jam band scene of the 1990s, spearheading the H. O. R. D. E. touring music festival. Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson. Tad Kinchla and Ben Wilson joined the band following the death of original bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999. While Blues Traveler is best known among fans for their improvisational live shows, the general public is most familiar with the group from their Top 40 singles \"\" Run-Around \"\" and \"\" Hook \"\". They gained mainstream popularity after their fourth studio album four, released in 1994. Sheehan's death and Popper's struggle with obesity put a damper on the group's success, and A&M dropped the band in 2002. However, the band took this transition period as an opportunity to start in new directions musically, going largely independent and releasing on smaller experimental labels. In March 2012, Blues Traveler released a double-disc compilation titled 25 on Hip-O Records; the album commemorates the band's silver anniversary and includes their hit singles, new covers, and previously unreleased B-side material."

"text": "Butyl Nitrite Main type Butyl nitrite is an inhalant drug, known more commonly in recreational use as “poppers”, which refers to one of several chemical compounds known under this name, including other alkyl nitrites. They are inhaled by users for the brief yet intense rush that they produce, which can help to increase sexual pleasure and produce a feeling of euphoria. It relaxes blood vessels, increasing the heart rate and blood flow throughout the whole body, with the effects usually lasting for no longer than few minutes at the most. It is packaged in small glass vials partially because it loses potency after only a few days, but also because only small amounts are required to experience its effects. Butyl nitrite and poppers at large are considered to be amongst some of the least dangerous drugs available, although they can still be very hazardous, particularly with improper use or for those with underlying medical problems. Using poppers as anything other than an inhalant, for example by drinking or injecting it, is extremely dangerous. Butyl nitrite is also highly flammable, and whilst it can be inhaled from a cigarette that has been dipped in poppers, there have been reported cases of injuries resulting from users unwittingly igniting such cigarettes. Addiction is not usually an issue with poppers, as it is not a physiologically addictive drug. However it is not unheard of for people to develop butyl nitrite habits, which can lead to a form of dependency. Originally intended for medicinal purposes, poppers began to reach mainstream popularity in nightclubs in the 1970s, initially amongst the homosexual community in particular."

Inhalant use Common household products such as nail polish contain solvents that can be concentrated and inhaled, in a manner not intended by the manufacturer, to produce intoxication. Misuse of products in this fashion can be harmful or fatal. Classification and external resources ICD - 10 F18 .1, T52, T53ICD - 9-CM 981, 982e Medicine article/1174630 [ edit on Wikidata]Inhalants are a broad range of household and industrial chemicals whose volatile vapors or pressurized gases are concentrated and breathed in via the nose or mouth to produce intoxication (called \"\" getting high \"\" in slang), in a manner not intended by the manufacturer. [ 1] They are inhaled at room temperature through volatilization (in the case of gasoline or acetone) or from a pressurized container (e.g., nitrous oxide or butane ), and do not include drugs that are sniffed after burning or heating. For example, amyl nitrite (poppers), nitrous oxide and toluene – a solvent widely used in contact cement and model airplane glue – are considered inhalants, but smoking tobacco, cannabis, and crack are not, even though these drugs are inhaled as smoke. [ 2] [3]While a small number of inhalants are prescribed by medical professionals and used for medical purposes, as in the case of nitrous oxide (an anxiolytic and pain relief agent prescribed by dentists), this article focuses on inhalant use of household and industrial propellants, glues, fuels and other products in a manner not intended by the manufacturer, to produce intoxication or other psychoactive effects."

[ 1] [Note 1] Pseudoscience is often characterized by contradictory, exaggerated or unfalsifiable claims; reliance on confirmation bias rather than rigorous attempts at refutation; lack of openness to evaluation by other experts; and absence of systematic practices when developing theories. The term pseudoscience is considered pejorative [4] because it suggests something is being presented as science inaccurately or even deceptively. Those described as practicing or advocating pseudoscience often dispute the characterization. [ 2]The demarcation between science and pseudoscience has philosophical and scientific implications. [ 5] Differentiating science from pseudoscience has practical implications in the case of health care, expert testimony, environmental policies, and science education. [ 6] Distinguishing scientific facts and theories from pseudoscientific beliefs, such as those found in astrology, alchemy, medical quackery, occult beliefs, and creation science, is part of science education and scientific literacy.

Although the term has been in use since at least the late 18th century (e.g. in 1796 by James Pettit Andrews in reference to alchemy [10] [11]) the concept of pseudoscience as distinct from real or proper science seems to have become more widespread during the mid-19th century."

"text": "\"Addiction Drug Use Hallucinogens What Are Poppers? An Often Poorly Understood Inhalant Drug By Elizabeth Hartney, Ph D | Reviewed by Steven Gans, MDUpdated February 27, 2018Share Pin Email Print Wikimedia Commons Poppers is a common slang term for a range of chemical psychoactive drugs called alkyl nitrites, and in particular, the inhalant drug amyl nitrite. Quick Facts About Poppers The most common type of poppers inhalant is amyl nitrite. It is often confused with amyl nitrate, which is, in fact, a different chemical with a similar name, often misspelt as amil nitrate. Poppers are also known as liquid gold, butyl nitrite, heart medicine, and room deodorizer. It probably goes without saying that you should never try to treat a real or imagined heart problem with poppers, unless prescribed by a physician, and you should never leave an open bottle of poppers in a room, whether or not you hope to deodorize it. It would not be an effective deodorizer, and could be harmful. The term first began being used for these drugs in the 1960s, when amyl nitrite, which was then used as a heart medicine, was sold in capsules that were cracked, or \"\"popped,\"\" to release the chemical. How Are Poppers Used? Although rarely used for heart problems today, amyl nitrite is still used to treat cyanide poisoning."

"text": "The Life of George Soros George Soros is one of the world’s foremost philanthropists, having given away over $12 billion to date. His funding has supported individuals and organizations across the globe fighting for freedom of expression, transparency, accountable government, and societies that promote justice and equality. This giving has often focused on those who face discrimination purely for who they are. He has supported groups representing Europe’s Roma people, and others pushed to the margins of mainstream society, such as drug users, sex workers, and LGBTI people. Soros has experienced such intolerance firsthand. Born in Hungary in 1930, he lived through the Nazi occupation of 1944–5, which resulted in the murder of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews. His own Jewish family survived by securing false identity papers, concealing their backgrounds, and helping others do the same. Soros later recalled that “instead of submitting to our fate, we resisted an evil force that was much stronger than we were—yet we prevailed. Not only did we survive, but we managed to help others. ”As the Communists consolidated power in Hungary after the war, Soros left Budapest in 1947 for London, working part-time as a railway porter and as a night-club waiter to support his studies at the London School of Economics."

This, however is no guarantee... just a thought of how you might be able to help the critters at the same time as protecting your shrubs. There are dozens of different type repellants that are sometimes successful as well, which can be used in defined areas. They include some that are tacky, distasteful and sometimes downright rude. I'm sure many of these items are readily available at your local nursery, but as to the others..... Any repellant can become ineffective in a short time when the deer realize that they have nothing to fear, so these may become more trouble than they are worth. While there are no plants that are deer proof, there are many that are far less prone to attract deer. They tend to dislike plants which are thorny, poisonous, sticky, or with cottony leaves, or plants that just taste bad Droughts and other extreme weather conditions can create a serious food shortage for deer, and consequently cause them to lose their inhibitions and eat plants which they would otherwise ignore.

"text": "(CBS) — Baking with poppy seeds and using the pods in flower arrangements are both common but few people know that growing a certain kind of poppy plant or possessing them is illegal in the United States. CBS 2-Investigators talked to a West Chicago man who found out the hard way. The laws surrounding the legal possession of poppy plants are confusing as there are numerous varieties of the plant. Are they legal or not? 25-year-old Will Coix was facing a 50 year prison sentence after he was charged with a Super X-class felony for selling dried poppy pods to undercover police agents with the Du Page County Metropolitan Enforcement Group in 2011. The charges were ultimately lessened to a class 1 felony after a plea agreement and Coix was only given a sentence of 2 years’ probation. The legal battle and ordeal stemmed from a website order he made for dried poppy pods – he was arrested after selling the plant. Will Coix and his father Guillermo Coix wanted to share their concerns over what they say is a lack of information about what is actually legal when it comes to poppy plants in the United States. The Coix’s talked to CBS 2 from their home gym and where the father Coix trains his son to box. Will Coix is a welterweight fighter who begins his professional career later this month with a fight at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond."

Post a comment!Create an account [–] t_mo 7 points 3 years ago I got to this one a bit late, but people are throwing out guesses so I'll post a response anyway. Opium is derived from the milky latex of the opium poppy. The entire Papaveraceae family is united, in part, by production of this thick milky or watery fluid. The purpose of milky latex is, as some users have pointed out, primarily as a defensive mechanism against herbivory. Opium itself is just one of a variety of tertiary metabolites that are dumped into the milky latex to serve this end. So, to make the distinction clear, opium did not evolve as a defensive mechanism."

When Oriental poppies bloom, it’s like having a Mardi Gras parade accidentally turn down your street. Suddenly there’s this awesome loudness, flamboyance, and brilliance, and just before you completely soak it all in, it’s over!Oriental poppies are one of my favorite garden flowers, because they’re just over the top with “wow” appeal, with blooms upwards of 6” across in absolutely gorgeous shades of pink, red, purple, white, and orange, often with dramatic dark centers. The flowers pop out of a background of cool-looking grayish green foliage. Oriental poppies are long-lived and easy to grow perennials, but they don’t behave quite like other garden plants. Here’s what you need to know to grow and enjoy Oriental poppies in your garden. Poppy flowers are striking against the grayish green foliage. Fast Facts about Oriental Poppies As long as you know a couple of things that set Oriental poppies apart, you should have no trouble growing them in your garden: Flash in the Pan: Oriental poppies bloom in late May and June. When they finish blooming, not only do the blooms wither, but the plants do too, turning yellow and dying back. This leaves you with some unsightly dead foliage (which you can cut off), along with a hole in your garden design."

"text": "Home »Produce How to Harvest Poppy Seeds By Jenny Harrington; Updated September 21, 2017While many garden poppy varieties are tender perennials, they are grown as an annual since they don't survive winter freezing. Harvesting the poppy seeds allows you to replant your favorite varieties each spring without having to purchase new seeds. Poppy seeds, such as those harvested from oriental poppies, are also used to flavor a variety of baked goods. Each poppy flower produces hundreds of small, black seeds, so you don't need many flowers to harvest a bounty of seeds. Pick the poppy flowers when the flower petals begin withering and dying back and the seed pod becomes swollen and visible under the petals. Leave two inches of stem attached when cutting the seed head. Spread the poppy seed heads out on newspaper in a warm, dry room. Leave the seed heads to dry for one to two weeks, or until the seeds begin rattling inside the pods. Pull open the seed pod and shake out the small, black seeds into a bowl. Alternately, poke a hole in the top of the pod with the tip of a knife then shake out the small seeds."

Cramer, Assistant Professor of Horticulture, Department of Agronomy & Horticulture College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences New Mexico State University This publication is scheduled to be updated and reissued 7/05. ( Print Friendly PDF)During the months of June and July, New Mexico supplies more than 50 percent of onions consumed in the United States (USDA 2000). Each year, New Mexico grows 7,000 to 8,000 acres of onions, producing 160,000 to 180,000 tons at a value of $40 million to $55 million. The per acre yield averages 920 50-pound sacks per acre. Acreage, per acre yield, total production, and total value for the New Mexico onion crop have increased over the last 20 years. This increase can be attributed in part to improved varieties and improved cultural practices. The continued growth of the New Mexico onion industry requires well-adapted, high yielding, high quality varieties and the proper cultural practices to grow those varieties. The current cultural practices for growing onions in New Mexico have been presented by Corgan and his coworkers (2000). This guide will review the current onion varieties being grown in New Mexico. It will be revised as new varieties are evaluated."

How to Plant Sweet Peas for an Attractive & Fragrant Vine Spring flowers pop from late February through the first weeks of June. Some spring flowers, like the shrubby lilac, must mature for several years before blooming, but others, like the eager crocus, spring from bulbs that hold all the nourishment they need to bloom. Although some planting times may vary for some species, planting time for spring flowers typically depends on whether you’re planting seeds, seedlings, plants or bulbs. Seeds Ripened seeds from existing plants like Calendula (Calendula officinalis) or California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), are planted as soon as the seed pods ripen in summer. Other spring annuals, such as Johnny jump-ups, or pansies (Viola tricolor, V. cornuta), may re-seed themselves throughout late summer and fall. If you’d rather not trust Mother Nature, sow seeds from store-bought packets of Columbine (Aquilegia spp,), sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) and other mid-to-late spring bloomers in fall after the first rains begin into early winter. Native wildflowers' cycles may vary according to local climate events like fire season or fall drought and wind, so check with your local university extension’s Master Gardener program or a chapter of the state’s native plant society for information on California’s native plants like Siberian spring beauty (Claytonia sibirica), tickseed (Coreopsis spp.) or tufted poppy (Eschscholzia caespitos)."

You can start new amaryllis plants (Hippeastrum spp.) from the seeds contained in those pods. It will take the resulting bulbs anywhere from three to five years to reach blooming size. Since the amaryllis bulbs that are typically sold for the holidays are hybrids, not all of the offspring will be the same as the parent plant. The seed pods should mature in four to six weeks after the flowers have been pollinated. Allow them to ripen on the plant."

Oftentimes these primitive attempts at medicine were based on superstition and speculation. Evil spirits in the body were thought to be the cause of medical problems. They could be driven out of the body through the use of poisonous or disagreeable plant substances that rendered the body a disagreeable habitat. Medicine men or women of a tribe were usually charged with knowledge of such plants. The progress of medicine has often been guided by the earlier observations and beliefs. Drug plants were always of especial interest. As early as 5,000 B. C. many drugs were in use in China. Sanskrit writings testify to methods of gathering and preparing drugs in these early times."

The seeds of Echinacea and Rudbeckia will attract and feed the birds: Sedum will hold onto snow like frosting. There are also plants that like the protection their foliage provides for their crowns. Asclepias (Butterfly Weed), Chrysanthemums and Heuchera (Coral Bells) fare best if cleaned up in the spring. But some perennials don’t handle rough weather well. They won’t remain attractive after frost and they have recurrent problems with pests and diseases, which will over winter in their fallen foliage and surface in the spring. These perennial flowers are best cut down in the fall. If they are diseased, throw the foliage away, do not compost it. There will always be exceptions and time will play a factor.

From annual Shirley and Flanders poppies (P. rhoeas) to the short-lived perennial California poppy (E. californica) and perennial Iceland (P. nudicaule) and oriental poppy (P. orientale), the flowers grow easily from seed and often self-sow when the lighting is right. Outdoor Poppy Culture Poppies of all varieties are cool-weather plants that bloom in late spring and early summer when temperatures are mild. Sow seeds or plant poppy seedlings in well-drained, evenly moist soil in full sunlight -- at least six hours a day, though 12 hours is ideal. The same light conditions necessary for germination carry over to their active growth stage. Once germinated, the plants put down deep taproots that help sustain them when they go dormant in the heat of summer. Sow seeds or plant seedlings in the coolest microclimate in your garden; some shade in midday keeps poppies blooming longer. Light for Indoor Poppy Seedlings Though most commonly sown in place outdoors, poppies can be started indoors to get a jump on the season."

Often found growing along roadside ditches and other humble places, these flowers have enchanted poets and helped doctors treat their patients for centuries. Besides the medicinal and edible qualities of the Poppy, the flower symbolizes some very deep emotions. What Does the Poppy Flower Mean? For many cultures, the Poppy is a symbol of: Restful sleep and recovery Consolation for a loss or death in the family Remembering the fallen of various wars and armed conflicts A lively imagination Peace in death Messages delivered in dreams Resurrection and eternal life Beauty and success Extravagance and luxury The symbolism of the Poppy varies greatly from country to country, but most of them share at least one or two common meanings for this particular flower. Etymological Meaning of the Poppy Flower All of the common Poppies used for landscaping, grown for edible seeds, or used for medicine share the common name of Papaver. This name is based on the Latin word for milk, pappa, due to the white and opaque latex sap that drips out when the stem or seed pod is cut. Some of the most widely used grown types of Poppies include the Papaver somniferum, the Papaver orientale, and the Eschscholzia californica. Symbolism of the Poppy Flower The Poppy is one of the most widely used symbolic flower around the world. Ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Roman societies linked it with sleep due the sedative effect of the plant’s sap."

Papaver somniferum, also known as the opium poppy, is the only poppy plant known to produce the alkaloids needed to make opium. Identification Opium poppies are annual plants that grow between 20 and 60 inches in height. They have large erect leaves and flowers with four to eight petals in color varieties of pink, violet, blue and red. The fruits are capsule-like with an expanded top that have small holes for the seeds. Function Opium poppy seeds contain alkaloids that create opium, which is used in the production of narcotics such as morphine and codeine. Because of this ability, opium poppies are illegal to grow in home gardens unless you have a permit. Considerations It is important to note that opium poppy seeds are commonly used in poppy seed bagels and breads. Consuming these types of bagels and breads triggers sensitive urine drug tests.

[ 4] Approximately 12 percent of the opium latex is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for illegal drug trade. The latex also contains the closely related opiatescodeine and thebaine, and non-analgesic alkaloids such as papaverine and noscapine. The traditional, labor-intensive method of obtaining the latex is to scratch (\"\"score\"\") the immature seed pods (fruits) by hand; the latex leaks out and dries to a sticky yellowish residue that is later scraped off and dehydrated. The word \"\" meconium \"\" (derived from the Greek for \"\"opium-like\"\", but now used to refer to infant stools) historically referred to related, weaker preparations made from other parts of the opium poppy or different species of poppies. [ 5]The production methods have not changed since ancient times. Through selective breeding of the Papaver somniferum plant, the content of the phenanthrene alkaloids morphine, codeine, and to a lesser extent thebaine has been greatly increased. In modern times, much of the thebaine, which often serves as the raw material for the synthesis for hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and other semisynthetic opiates, originates from extracting Papaver orientale or Papaver bracteatum. For the illegal drug trade, the morphine is extracted from the opium latex, reducing the bulk weight by 88%."

"text": "Do poppy seeds contain a substance that is prohibited in sport? While poppy seeds don’t actually contain morphine, the seeds can become coated by, or absorb, opium extract during harvesting. Opium is the milky substance that is extracted along with the poppy seeds from the seed pod of the opium poppy after all the petals have fallen off. The opium is composed of roughly 12 percent morphine, which is a narcotic that is prohibited in-competition. According to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List, morphine is a threshold substance, meaning that WADA-accredited laboratories determine if a sample is positive for morphine when the level of morphine in the urine is greater than *1.3 micrograms/m L. Can the morphine from poppy seeds be detected in a sample? Research shows that morphine and codeine can sometimes be detected in the urine up to 48 hours after ingestion of poppy seeds from some pastries, such as bagels, muffins, and cakes (see reference one for a free article on this topic). Even though most of the opium is removed from the poppy seeds during processing (usually more than 90%), in some cases, the seeds sold for use in foods still have a significant amount of opium – and thus morphine – on them. The amount of morphine residue left on the seeds depends on how well the poppy seeds are cleaned and processed, which varies depending on the country the seeds are from and how and when they were harvested. Can athletes eat poppy seeds without testing positive? USADA cannot predict the amount of poppy seeds you can eat and remain below the testing threshold set by WADA. **"

Narcotic refers to the pain-relieving and sleep-inducing properties of these highly-addictive alkaloids, including morphine, codeine and thebaine.

The raw opium sap drips from fresh cuts into the pericarp of the capsules, and upon oxidation and solidification in the air it turns black. Morphine is acetylated to produce diacetylmorphine--better known as heroin. The poppy seeds used on bagels and rolls also come from opium poppies, and although they don't cause any narcotic effects on hungry people after their coffee breaks, they can trigger a positive reaction in very sensitive urine tests for drugs.

"text": "Opium Made Easy By Michael Pollan Harper's Magazine, April 1, 1997Last season was a strange one in my garden, notable not only for the unseasonably cool and wet weather—the talk of gardeners all over New England—but also for its climate of paranoia. One flower was the cause: a tall, breathtaking poppy, with silky scarlet petals and a black heart, the growing of which, I discovered rather too late, is a felony under state and federal law. Actually, it’s not quite as simple as that. My poppies were, or became, felonious; another gardener’s might or might not be. The legality of growing opium poppies (whose seeds are sold under many names, including the breadseed poppy, Papaver paeoniflorum, and, most significantly, Papaver somniferum) is a tangled issue, turning on questions of nomenclature and epistemology that it took me the better part of the summer to sort out. But before I try to explain, let me offer a friendly warning to any gardeners who might wish to continue growing this spectacular annual: the less you know about it, the better off you are, in legal if not horticultural terms. Because whether or not the opium poppies in your garden are illicit depends not on what you do, or even intend to do, with them but very simply on what you know about them. Hence my warning: if you have any desire to grow opium poppies, you would be wise to stop reading right now. As for me, I’m afraid that, at least in the eyes of the law, I’m already lost, having now tasted of the forbidden fruit of poppy knowledge. Indeed, the more I learned about poppies, the guiltier my poppies became—and the more fearful grew my days and to some extent also my nights."

"text": "How To Grow Oriental Poppies in Your Garden By: Julie Day Oriental poppies are long-lived and easy to grow perennials. When Oriental poppies bloom, it’s like having a Mardi Gras parade accidentally turn down your street. Suddenly there’s this awesome loudness, flamboyance, and brilliance, and just before you completely soak it all in, it’s over!Oriental poppies are one of my favorite garden flowers, because they’re just over the top with “wow” appeal, with blooms upwards of 6” across in absolutely gorgeous shades of pink, red, purple, white, and orange, often with dramatic dark centers. The flowers pop out of a background of cool-looking grayish green foliage. Oriental poppies are long-lived and easy to grow perennials, but they don’t behave quite like other garden plants. Here’s what you need to know to grow and enjoy Oriental poppies in your garden. Poppy flowers are striking against the grayish green foliage. Fast Facts about Oriental Poppies As long as you know a couple of things that set Oriental poppies apart, you should have no trouble growing them in your garden: Flash in the Pan: Oriental poppies bloom in late May and June. When they finish blooming, not only do the blooms wither, but the plants do too, turning yellow and dying back. This leaves you with some unsightly dead foliage (which you can cut off), along with a hole in your garden design."

Codeine is a painkiller that has sedative properties, and is used in prescription drugs, such as Vicodin, and cough syrups. Morphine Morphine, like codeine, is an alkaloid that is extracted from opium, and is highly used in the medical field to help people manage their pain. Morphine is commonly administered in hospitals through an IV, to subside a person’s pain. However, morphine is also used to make heroin, which is an illegal narcotic drug. Oxycodone According to the Center for Substance Abuse Research, the structure of oxycodone is similar to codeine, and is almost as potent as morphine. Oxycodone works on a person’s body through the central nervous system by altering the user’s sense of pain and their emotional response to pain. Oxycodone is the most powerful prescription painkiller, and it is not time released, so when a person takes the drug, its onset is quick-acting and very powerful."

"text": "\"The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, has been cultivated by humans since prehistoric times. Today P. somniferum grows in gardens and wilds across much of the world, including the US and Europe; there is hardly a supermarket in world that does not sell its seeds. Poppies can be grown outdoors in great quantities for free and with very little effort; in most cases this is the most practical route (a definitive guide for growing outdoors can be found here ). Fortunately for those who lack a yard or a suitable climate (although almost any climate is tolerable), poppies are not so hard to raise indoors. Poppies are significantly easier and less expensive to grow hydroponically than other popular choices like marijuana, but the taboo surrounding opium use seems to have stifled the spread of poppy related knowledge on the web. This guide is intended to assist anyone interested in growing poppies who lacks firsthand experience (it may prove useful to experienced growers as well). Hopefully some of those who use this guide will in turn share their own results and discoveries to improve the online body of knowledge. The poppies used in this grow were Tasmanians, the variety most commonly raised for pharmaceutical use (most store bought seeds – e.g. Mc Cormick’s or Spice Island – are Tasmanian seeds). This variety has a relatively long growing season (~3-4 months) but produces multiple pods, which possess a relatively high morphine content. Before going further, let it be clear that the authors of this guide neither endorse nor disparage any particular use of the poppy."

"text": "Poppy Seeds Quick Notes: What Are Poppy Seeds? Poppy Seeds are from a colorful annual flower. They have a nutty flavor that European, Indian and Middle Eastern cooks, and others from around the world, love for their crunchiness. Slate-blue seeds are favored by European cooks especially for baked goods - pastries, muffins, bagels, breads; beige seeds by Indian cooks, and brown seeds by Middle Eastern cooks. Toast or dry roast the seeds to bring out the best flavor. There are close to a million seeds in one pound of this spice. Medicinal derivatives such as Opium, morphine and codeine are made from the sap of unripe poppy seed pods. Culinary-ripened poppy seeds are not affected and cannot produce medicinal derivatives. Like Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds have an high oil content, and are one of the few spices that can actually go bad (bitter, rancid).

Pomegranates originated from tropical Asia and spread throughout the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. The small edible red seeds are called arils. One-half cup of arils has about 72 calories and lots of potassium, plus it's a good source of vitamin C, folate, and fiber. Pomegranate juice is quite high in antioxidants that may help prevent free radical damage to the cells in your body.

This helps to lessen the amount of stool and residue in the bowel, so the examination will be successful. The entire day before your colonoscopy you will be on a Clear Liquid Diet (see below). This is to ensure complete colon cleansing. Avoid red jello and popsicles as the coloring may come through in your stool and be mistaken for blood. Avoid all dairy products, vegetables, fruits (you may have fruit juice without pulp, no orange juice), breads and grains, meats, and fats and oils.

This makes it virtually impossible for a person's body to develop immunity to these viruses. When an individual comes down with a cold or flu, the body responds by making antibodies to fight the invading virus particles. Although the individual will become immune to that specific strain of virus, those antibodies will be useless against future cold and flu viruses that have mutated. While a cold is no walk in the park, coming down with the flu can leave you exhausted and run down for weeks. Unlike a bacterial infection, viruses do not respond to antibiotics. Your body, however, can speed up the healing process and help kick that virus to the curb, by eating a healthy diet. Below are the top 10 foods to eat for the flu.1.

Have different flavors and textures to keep it interesting and alternate between calorie providing drinks and non-caloric drinks throughout the day. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Diet at Home Once you are released from the hospital and tolerating the clear liquid diet well, you may start advancing your diet slowly to include protein shakes and slightly thicker liquids. This may include fat free soups, skim milk, and protein supplements. Try to drink 4 - 6 ounces every hour initially and work your way up to 8 ounces every hour for a total of 64 ounces per day."

The stomach performs the following functions:takes in and breaks down fooddestroys foreign agentsaids in digestionsends signals to the brain when you’re full The stomach helps prevent infections by secreting an acid from its lining that acts on harmful bacteria and viruses present in food you eat. The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients you consume. And the stomach helps break down amino acids and absorbs simple sugars, such as glucose. The stomach also breaks down certain medications, such as aspirin. A sphincter, or valve, at the bottom of the stomach regulates how much food enters the small intestine."

"text": "What to Eat When You Have the Flu By Erin Coleman, R. D., L. D. Registered and Licensed Dietitian Having the flu means changing your diet to optimize recovery and get the nutrition your body needs when eating is the last thing you might feel like doing. Knowing which foods to choose (and which to avoid) will help you survive this serious (sometimes life-threatening) condition. Foods to Eat Whether you experience vomiting or not, the flu can make you nauseated and kill your appetite when you need proper nutrition the most. Likewise, you may not feel like eating when you can barely make it out of bed. Start slowly with foods and drinks you can tolerate. Bland Foods Bland foods tend to be easier to tolerate when you're feeling nauseated. Choose from the following list of bland foods provided by Medline Plus when you have the flu: Bananas Saltine crackers Toast Cream of wheat Oatmeal Applesauce Rice White pasta Pudding Cooked fruits and vegetables (as tolerated)Potatoes Avocado Ginger (for nausea)Protein Foods Protein is a key ingredient when your body is healing but hold off if you're vomiting. Choose the following protein foods (as tolerated): Grilled chicken White fish or salmon Eggs Tofu Cooked legumes Nuts and seeds Nut butters (peanut butter)Low-fat yogurt Low-fat kefir Protein bars Protein smoothies (as tolerated)Nutrition shakes Hummus Soy milk Protein-enriched almond milk Veggie burger Clear Liquids Most clear liquid foods are generally well-tolerated for people with the flu (even when you're nauseated) and help keep you hydrated: Clear chicken broths Fruit juices Clear sodas Vegetable juices (not tomato juice)Sports drinks Decaffeinated tea Decaffeinated coffee Gelatin Popsicles Coconut water Immune-Boosting Foods If you can tolerate immune boosting foods without feeling queasy, do so as these foods help your body recover as quickly as possible. Oranges Grapefruit Leafy greens Orange and red veggies Berries Nuts Foods with probiotics (yogurt and kefir)Legumes Garlic Protein and fruit/veggie smoothies (use protein almond milk, soy milk or yogurt)Foods to Avoid When you're not feeling up to par, avoid foods that can make nausea worse, and steer clear of those with low nutrition content, as this can delay healing. Spicy foods Greasy foods Fried foods Milk (some people tolerate milk better than others)Cheese Caffeinated beverages (sodas, regular coffees, and teas)Alcohol Sweets (ice cream, candy, doughnuts, chocolate, etc. )"

It's similar to yogurt, but usually more tangy, and sometimes slightly effervescent. Kefir is not only far more beneficial than yogurt, but much easier to make. Unlike yogurt, kefir can actually colonize your gut with the beneficial micro-organisms you need to have a healthy immune system and well-functioning digestive system. While high-quality yogurt contains a few of the beneficial gut bacteria, kefir contains a much larger number of beneficial bacteria, as well as beneficial yeasts. Kefir is great eaten by itself or with fruit, in smoothies, on muesli and granola, in salad dressings, made into cheese or even tasty fruit flavored popsicles that kids will love. You can buy fresh kefir grains here. Ingredients1 cup milk (raw, organic milk is the best if you can get it. Check out the Organic Consumers Association for finding raw milk in your area) 1 tablespoon fresh kefir grains * see below for where to source kefir grains Instructions These instructions may look long and involved, but kefir is one of the quickest, simplest and easiest of all the fermented foods to make.

One or two days before the exam, persons preparing for a colonoscopy may ingest clear liquids. Clear liquids are those that one can see through. When a clear liquid is in a container such as a bowl or glass, the container is visible through the substance. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Purpose of Clear Liquids According to the health care provider's instructions, the patient begins the process of emptying the colon one or two days before the exam. Clear liquids are a part of the prescribed regimen because they provide much needed liquids, minerals and salts. These materials provide calories, which translate to energy, and also keep the body's fluids in balance. When to Start the Clear Liquid Diet Each health care provider has his own prescribed regimen, which may include stool softeners, liquid preparation or pills. Because this process of preparing the colon for visual examination involves emptying the body of a significant amount of fluid, clear liquids are recommended. Specific instructions regarding when to begin emptying the colon and when to take in clear liquids will be given to the patient by the health care provider."

[ 1] Edibility may be defined by criteria that include absence of poisonous effects on humans and desirable taste and aroma.

Mushrooms consumed by those practicing folk medicine are known as medicinal mushrooms. [ 4] While psychedelic mushrooms are occasionally consumed for recreational or entheogenic purposes, they can produce strong psychological effects, and are therefore not commonly used as food. [ 5]Edible mushrooms include many fungal species that are either harvested wild or cultivated. Easily cultivatable and common wild mushrooms are often available in markets, and those that are more difficult to obtain (such as the prized truffle, matsutake and morel) may be collected on a smaller scale by private gatherers. Some preparations may render certain poisonous mushrooms fit for consumption. Before assuming that any wild mushroom is edible, it should be identified."

Still, when I get a hankering for mushrooms and I glance at the calendar, it's usually a fall month. It's something about their earthiness that does it for me. Here's how to clean three of the most common cultivated varieties. Mushrooms grow in dirt (or worse), so cleaning them is a good idea. Many folks have said that it's a bad idea to wash your mushrooms under water, as they'll absorb the liquid and become difficult to cook.

That may seem like a large number, but mycologists suspect that this is only a fraction of what's out there! We can put these various species in one of 4 categories: saprotrophic, mycorrhizal, parasitic, and endophytic. These categories describe how the the organism feeds itself. ( Note: If you're more interested in how YOU feed yourself, check out the edible mushrooms page). Saprotrophs - Thriving on Decay Saprotrophic mushrooms are decomposers. They release acids and enzymes that break down dead tissue into smaller molecules they can absorb. Thus decaying wood, plants, and even animals can become food for a saprotroph.

Today, many stores carry a variety of wild mushrooms, specialty mushrooms, and several forms of the common button mushroom. The following is a brief description of the materials and methods used for producing crops of some popular cultivated mushrooms. What is a mushroom? A mushroom is the 'fruit' of certain fungi, analogous to the apple on a tree. Most of the fungus goes unseen as it colonizes and absorbs nutrients from wood, fallen leaves, organic matter in soil, etc. As a group, fungi can grow on almost any carbon source (a substrate). A fungus is composed of tubular, branched filaments known as hyphae (a mass of hyphae is called a mycelium). Many fungi, including some that form mushrooms, are saprophytes, obtaining their food by colonizing dead organic matter. If a mycelium thrives, it will eventually have enough energy to reproduce."

For those fungi that produce them, the mushroom plays a similar role to a flower or a fruit in plants. Some part of each mature mushroom produces microscopic spores that are similar to pollen or seeds, sometimes numbering in the trillions [1]. The rest of the fungal organism typically lives in the soil, wood, or some other material and is composed of thread-like strands known as mycelium. The expanding growth of the mycelium often results in circles of mushrooms or “fairy rings.” An individual mycelium can grow quite large, with at least one well-documented case covering more than 1,500 acres in Oregon [2]. Many mushroom-producing species are important decomposers, particularly of wood. These species are often relatively easy to cultivate. However, many species have a special, symbiotic, “mycorrhizal” relationship with particular species of plants. Often, neither the mushroom nor the plant will grow without a mycorrhizal partner. Most mushroom-producing fungi are members of the phylums Basidiomycota or Ascomycota ."

"text": "\"Basic Ingredients Vegetable Sides Italian Cooking Basics Italian Sides All About Porcini Mushrooms (Funghi Porcini)By Kyle Phillips Updated 02/28/17Share Pin Email\"\"Every year come September, the price of mushrooms drops and I stock up on porcini ,\"\" the famed Italian food writer Pellegrino Artusi wrote a century ago. He was talking about drying the fresh mushrooms to use in stews and sauces during the winter months, but we can be quite certain that fresh porcini figured prominently on his table as well: Boletus edulis is one of God's great gifts to humanity, a rich, heady, meaty mushroom that is amazingly versatile, delicate enough to give grace to an elegant stew or sauce, and yet vigorous enough to stand up to something as flavorful as a thick grilled steak accompanied by a good Barolo, for example, a good vintage of Ceretto's Bricco Rocche. Porcini even look the way a mushroom should: A thick, firm white stalk and a broad, dark-brown cap -- if you're out walking in a European forest and come across a clump under a chestnut tree, where they're often found, you may well think you've stumbled into a fairy tale and look about for gnomes. Of course most of us don't have the time, nor the expertise required, to go mushroom hunting. So we buy our fresh porcini at the market (fresh porcini can be found in North America also, while Barbara Kafka points out that the French call them cèpes, the Germans Steinpilz or Herrenpilz, and the Russians Belyi Grib, and that they may appear under any of these names). They should be firm, with unblemished white stalks and brown caps, not nicked or broken. If the undersides of the caps have a yellowish-brown tinge to them, the mushrooms are heading into overripeness, and if they have black spots on them or the undercaps are deep green, they're already overripe. The other thing you should look for is signs of worms (small holes). As soon as you get your porcini home, scrape any dirt you may find off the stalks and wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth -- only wash them if you absolutely must, and then never in hot water. They are now ready to use."

They may not be right there on top with olive oil and sacks of rice but they usually hold their own somewhere in the middle, especially if you cook Asian or European cuisines. Dried mushrooms can be pricy, but they pack a lot of flavor. Once the mushrooms are soaked, strained, and chopped, even just a small amount will add enormous flavor to a dish. Here's how to make the most of your dried mushrooms. ( Image credit: Dana Velden)Once an exotic, somewhat obscure item, dried mushrooms are easily available in many grocery stores these days. They fall roughly into two categories: Asian mushrooms like shiitake, wood ear, cloud ear, and matsutake, and European/American mushrooms like porcini, morel, trumpet, and chanterelle. Their quality, flavor, and amount of grit can vary considerably. Price is often a good guide as the pricier versions tend to be of higher quality and lower grit.

If you’ve never had this amazing concoction of fatty, porky sweet and salty goodness I encourage you all to run to your local salumi purveyor and get some now. Guanciale is a lovely creation from the aforementioned jowl of our porcine friends. It has a texture and consistency much like bacon but the depth of flavor if much greater. It compares well to pancetta and can either be eaten raw if sliced thinly or cut thick and pan fried to add depth and flavor to many dishes. It also possess a flavor/smell often described as ‘funk’.

While feeding your dog liver isn't a bad idea, feeding liver (or any other single food) is a plan that requires moderation on your part. The Benefits of Liver for Your Dog Liver is a nutrient-rich organ meat that most dogs readily eat. Liver can provide your dog with protein, fat and vitamin A, all of which help him stay healthy if offered in moderation. Liver is also a good source of copper, iron, niacin, phosphorus and zinc. It provides many B vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and essential amino acids your dog needs from his diet to keep him healthy. Your dog can derive benefits from beef, lamb, pork, chicken or bison liver from the supermarket or butcher shop. Feeding your dog liver from wild game may or may not be a good idea because you cannot guarantee the quality of the organ. Some deer, for example, are affected with liver flukes that make their livers unsafe for canine consumption. Liver can be an important component of a raw food diet for your dog, too."

For those who eat it, meat provides protein and other nutrients, too, including iron, thiamine, and zinc. But many sources of meat can also be high in fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to high cholesterol and heart disease. And any food that is high in fat is also higher in calories, which can make it tough to reach your weight management goals. To assist consumers in meat selection, the government developed the following definitions, based on a cooked, 3-ounce portion of meat. Extra lean meat contains less than 5 grams of total fat and less than 2 grams of saturated fat. Lean meat contains less than 10 grams of total fat and less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat.

There is a lot of debate in the pet community over whether or not dogs should be eating pork. The answer to the question can dogs eat pork is that in reality it really depends on the kind of dog you have. Dangers in Feeding Your Dog Pork Pork in itself is as harmless to dogs as chicken, beef or any other kind of meat. However, there is a slight risk of your dog being infected with trichinosis by eating pork. Trichinosis, also known as trichinellosis, is a worldwide, food borne disease caused by an intestinal roundworm, uncommon in the United States. Both humans and pets that eat raw or undercooked meat of infected animals, including the pork from pigs, can develop the disease. Undercooked or raw meat of infected animals contains the roundworm. The disease can lead to muscle soreness and pain together with swelling of the upper eyelids in mild cases but can lead to more severe symptoms."

Bacon drippings, bacon itself, fatty ham…all of these can be problematic for many dogs. And that’s what some people were feeding when their dog developed pancreatitis, colitis, etc. It’s not about the meat. It’s about the fat content. So, it seems that people made assumptions i.e. dog became sick when eating ham/bacon/fatty parts (pick one) = pork should never be fed to dogs; pork is hard to digest, and other such notions.

This is an intestinal disease which is caused by a certain roundworm. It leads to muscle pain and swelling of the upper eyelids and causes soreness. This generally happens when the meat eaten by the dog is infected with the same disease and the chances of pork meat being infected by this worm is very high as compared to chicken, lamb, turkey or other meat products. These are just minimized symptoms but it is possible that severe symptoms also occur. The precaution with pork if properly taken then it is advised that pork can be served to dogs too.

Yes, before we became spear-using cunning tacticians surrounding, stalking, and out-maneuvering large prehistoric ungulates, we feasted on the bones of fallen prey. Or, more accurately, we feasted on what lurked inside the bones (and the skulls, for that matter). Animal fat and protein improved the quality of our diet by making digestion less energy intensive. Bone marrow, especially, was highly caloric and nutrient dense, allowing early human ancestors to divert metabolic resources away from the costly digestion of roughage and toward bigger, costlier brains. This spurred the increase in hominid brain size that we still enjoy today. That was around two million years ago, when Homo habilis used rudimentary stone tools to strip and smash bones. He was small and relatively diminutive – too small to take down big game – but he could hoist a big smashing stone overhead once the apex predators had gone. And he could probably fend off the hyenas, the vultures, and any other scavengers dead set on sucking the marrow. In fact, we may have learned about the delicious, nourishing paste by watching vultures drop femurs from the sky and pick out the marrow."

Biological Therapy Vol.1 No. 2 1983In consideration of wide sections of the population, it appeared strongly advisable to investigate more closely the reasons for the nocuity of pork and to report on the toxic and stress factors contained in pork, i.e. sutoxins. A possibility emerges that everyone can stay healthy by omitting toxic factors (specific pork poisons) from his diet or can regain health by observing a strict ban on pork. The fact that pork causes stress and gives rise to poisoning is known. It is obvious that this does not only apply to preparations of fresh pork such as cold cuts, knuckles, feet, ribs and cutlets, etc., but also to cured meats (ham, bacon, etc.) and to smoked meats prepared for sausages. Consumption of freshly killed pork products causes acute responses, such as inflammations of the appendix and gall bladder, biliary colics, acute intestinal catarrh, gastroenteritis with typhoid and paratyphoid symptoms, as well as acute eczema, carbuncles, sudoriparous abscesses, and others. These symptoms can be observed after consuming sausage meats (including salami which contains pieces of bacon in the form of fat). The consumption of pork is particularly dangerous in the tropical regions."

Thinly pounded breaded pork cutlets, browned and served with a creamy dill sauce. Photography Credit: Elise Bauer The first time I traveled to the land of my Austrian ancestors I was taken to a restaurant where I saw “schnitzel” on the menu. Of course I ordered it, thinking I could use a good German sausage in a bun. ( You have my permission to pound your head on the wall now. ) I mean, who in America didn’t grow up with those fast food joints with the giant hot dogs on the top of them? When the order came I was stunned by how far off it was from what I was expecting; even my gracious hosts had a hard time believing me when I told them that in America a wiener schnitzel was a hot dog (at least where I was from in suburban California). Curses! Yes we tend to distort some traditional dishes here in America, but this one? We weren’t even close."

"text": "From meat grilled on the table before you, to boiling hot stews, to chilies and pickles, Korean food is almost impossible not to fall in love with. In this Korean food guide, I’m going to share with you 29 of the best tasting dishes you should eat. Chili Pickled Cabbage (Kimchi 김치)1. Chili Pickled Cabbage (Kimchi 김치)I’m going to start this South Korean food list with not really a dish at all, but something that is critically vital and quintessential to any Korean meal: KIMCHI. While there are many different kinds of kimchi, the most common version is made with napa cabbage that is preserved and lightly fermented in bright red chili flakes. Love kimchi and you’re on your way to being a Korean food connoisseur!There were quite a few meals in Seoul where I settled for nothing more than rice and kimchi (and I was very happy). Cost – comes free nearly every restaurant you eat at, but I bought a huge sack of homemade kimchi to eat with rice for 5,000 Won ($4.39) – it must have been 1.5 kilos!Samgyeopsal (삼겹살)2. Samgyeopsal (삼겹살)Fatty slices of pork belly grilled before your nose is a South Korean foodie favorite. A few slabs of this ultra-tasty pork along with garnishes of lettuce leaves, garlic and chili paste, and you’ve got a flavor to cherish. It’s not the healthiest South Korean food, but if you are a lover of pig, samgyeopsal is something you can’t miss eating when you’re in Korea!Cost – about 8,000 Won ($7.00) per plate Barbecued Pork (Daeji Bulgogi 불고기)3."

To elaborate to the point here, there is also an issue of the kangaroo population booming on fossick and fodder available through the replacement of woodlands and harsher terrain with buffets of crops, pastures and the occasional footy field, golf course, or highwayside. As some may know, the roo has evolved a constant gestational cycle to capitalise on abundant growth after the rains in what would have been the pre-settlement habitat."

Most pork rinds, pork skins or pork cracklins are very dry, airy and light. They taste pretty good, but they stick in your throat and with out lots of water can literally be dangerous. And have you ever noticed that with your typical bag of pork rinds, you’re always hunting in the bag, for that special, greasier, dark piece of crackling that is crisper and juicier than the rest? Well, that’s what you’ll love about Macs Pork Skins – literally every cracklin’ bite has those attributes.

Return the roast to the oven to cook for 1 additional hour or until an instant-read thermometer poked into the center of the loin reaches 150 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let the loin rest for 30 minutes; the internal temperature will continue to rise about 10 degrees F, and the loin will finish cooking while it's resting (see Cook's Note***).

Tute Tibi Imperes Jan 16, 2012 07:53 PMI'm having trouble trying to find any clear cut differences between chicharonnes, cracklins, and pork rinds, at least as far as the names go. While all are tasty food made from the skin and/or fat of the pig, I can't seem to find any consistency in what name goes with what variation. From my experience there seem to be three clear variation on the same dish:1. Fluffy, puffy, crispy fried skin, similar in texture to a puffy Cheeto, but porkier. These are most commonly called Pork Rinds, but I've seen these labeled as Chicharrones as well.2. Hard and crunchy fried skin, usually served room temperature. Sometimes these have tasty soft fried fat attached, sometimes not. These are what I most often see called Cracklins, but I've seen them labeled as Pork Rinds and Chicharonnes as well. Also, I can't seem to find any difference in the labeling for the varieties that are just hard crunchy skin, and the ones that have the fat still attached (which are better IMO).3."

"text": "Pork Skin Nutritionby MAURA SHENKER Oct. 03, 2017Pork skins, also known as pork rinds, are a crunchy fried snack food. Pork skins are made by chopping, cooking and smoking pieces of pork skin, before deep-frying the pieces in 400-degree-Fahrenheit lard. The frying process causes the skins to puff-up, giving pork rinds their unique, airy and crunchy texture. Pork rinds are often marketed to low-carb dieters because they are a quick and crunchy snack food high in protein and contain no carbohydrates, unlike other chips and convenience-store snacks. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Next Up Roasted Beet Hummus00:44Nutrition -- Macronutrients One ounce of fried pork skin contains 152 calories, with 79 calories -- more than half -- coming from fat. For a fried snack food, pork skins are high in protein, containing 17 g of protein. There are no carbohydrates, making pork skins a low-glycemic food, with little impact on blood sugar. If you're following a 2,000-calorie diet, between 200 and 700 calories should come from protein, and 500 to 700 calories should come from fat. Pork skins can easily fit into your daily diet, if you practice portion control. General Nutrition Pork skins don't contain any sugar or fiber, but can be very high in sodium."

While both are both made with pork fat, each has a different method of cooking and a different cut of meat. To make cracklins you use a cut of pork that has the pork skin, pork fat and pork meat all attached. Pork Rinds, on the other hand, use only the pork fat. Virtually any piece of pork that has skin or fat attached to it can be used to make cracklins. What my long time Cajun friend, Dale Begnaud, told me was that his Dad would collect and freeze the pieces of fat and skin from the roast and other cuts until he had enough to make his cracklins.

Scientists claim they taste just as good as the original – extremely unhealthy – bar snack but without the high fat and salt. They are made from prime pork rind and boast 70% pure protein in a bag. They also have 47% less fat than old scratchings, which had 182 calories. And nearly half the new pork rind is unsaturated fat, most of which is oleic acid, the healthy fat found in olive oil. Fitness firm Muscle Food.com created the snack after feedback from buff model David Gandy, Olympic taekwondo gold medallist Jade Jones and Paralympian stars David Weir and Rich Whitehead. “Pork scratchings are the last thing you’d expect to see healthy gym fanatics eat but our customers can’t get enough of them,” the company’s Darren Beale told the Sunday People. “Many have told us they prefer our version to regular pork scratchings – the only downside if they are watching their fat and calorie intake is how moreish they are. “The best high protein, low fat products is what our customers expect.

Step 2For truly top-notch crackling, your pork needs a generous coverage of fat. Most pork roasts come with the fat already scored. If not, use a small sharp knife to score. This helps to render the fat and ensures the crackling will crisp up nicely. Step 3Next, your perfect crackling demands the perfect combination of oil, salt and high heat.

It can also be fried or roasted in pork fat (lard) as a snack. The frying renders much of the fat that is attached to the uncooked rind, causing the size of the cooked product to be reduced considerably. This product may be known by alternative names, such as chicharrón in Spanish, kaiings in South Africa, and pork greaves, pork scratchings or pork cracklings in the UK, although crackling may instead refer to the rind on a roasted pork joint.

It is also wonderfully versatile, and can be made with whatever seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, meat or seafood is at hand.

"text": "\"Food & Drink Other - Food & Drink What are pork rinds made out of? ( The chip)? Someone just told me they are made out of pig skin... if thats true, then thats kinda really disgusting... cuz they are pretty much my favorite chip... And two more questions, are they un-healthy for you? What if the pig had some kind of illness or disease??? thanks Follow 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, they are, really, pig skin. They puff up they way they do because of how they are sliced and deep fried in VERY hot oil, twice, which causes water to expand as steam which is what caused them to bubble so much. I saw this on the Dirty Jobs series on the Discovery Channel. It was a fascinating process to see how they were made, but is a dirty job, especially the preparation and slicing before the cooking. They contain a LOT of saturated fats which are not exactly good for you, but disease wise, cooking does for pork skin what it does for any meat, kills off any bacteria there might be and partially breaking down the fibers. Diseases mostly do not cross species."

"text": "\"If you pay an investment manager to manage your portfolio, then you may be able to deduct the fees that you pay for this service, as they are considered deductible expenses by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as long as certain conditions are met. Understanding the rules that govern this deduction is the key to maximizing your tax savings and making the most out of those miscellaneous tax deductions that taxpayers are so often unable to write off. Here’s what you need to do to cash in on what your advisor is charging you. Miscellaneous Expenses The first condition that taxpayers who deduct investment expenses must meet is that they must be able to itemize their deductions. This means that certain named expenses that are listed on Schedule A of the Form 1040 can be deducted if they exceed the standard deduction that is allotted to each filer according to their filing status. Taxpayers who are unable to itemize deductions are completely unable to deduct investment expenses for themselves. Those who can must meet a second condition. There is a category of itemized deductions known as miscellaneous deductions that cover a variety of legal and financial fees relating to investments that generate taxable income. These deductions include: (For more, see: An Overview of Itemized Deductions . ) Professional management fees for taxable investment accounts (fees paid to robo-advisors count for this)."

"text": "Thinking about using your retirement savings to pay for college? Think again. By Fidelity Learning Center Intermediate College Planning 529 Plan Balancing the competing goals of saving for your children’s future college education expenses while saving for your own retirement can be a thorny challenge for most parents. On the one hand, you want your children to get a solid education and establish a successful career. But on the other hand, you also want to make sure you will have the financial resources to enjoy your own retirement years, without becoming a financial burden on your children. To help increase your odds of achieving both goals, financial planning professionals often suggest establishing dedicated college savings accounts. While some people may choose to concentrate all of their efforts on maximizing their retirement savings and then tap those accounts to cover college expenses, lumping savings together in this manner can cause confusion. For example, when you hold your college savings and retirement savings in the same account, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to really know how close you are to meeting either goal. If you had $250,000 in your retirement savings account, how much of that money would be available after paying for college? It’s virtually impossible to know."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Nope, sorry condo assessment fees and special assessments are not tax deducible. Keep track of the special assessments, though, because you could add that to your cost basis when you get ready to sell the condo. If you rented out a condo that you owned, then you could deduct all the assessment fees. I hope that helps answers your question. Anonymous · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment No, neither condo fees nor special assessments are tax deductible. Bostonian In MO · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Only if the special assessment was for something that was tax-deductible-- like county taxes -- but it's very unlikely you would not be billed directly for those as the property owner.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors to purchase securities. These investors may be retail or institutional in nature. Mutual funds have advantages and disadvantages compared to direct investing in individual securities. The primary advantages of mutual funds are that they provide economies of scale, a higher level of diversification, they provide liquidity, and they are managed by professional investors. On the negative side, investors in a mutual fund must pay various fees and expenses. Primary structures of mutual funds include open-end funds, unit investment trusts, and closed-end funds. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are open-end funds or unit investment trusts that trade on an exchange. Mutual funds are also classified by their principal investments as money market funds, bond or fixed income funds, stock or equity funds, hybrid funds or other. Funds may also be categorized as index funds, which are passively managed funds that match the performance of an index, or actively managed funds. Hedge funds are not mutual funds; hedge funds cannot be sold to the general public and are subject to different government regulations."

Legal and other professional fees are not specifically mentioned in the Code as deductible items. Therefore, a taxpayer is able to deduct these types of fees only if they qualify as “ordinary and necessary” expenses under §162 (business expenses) or §212 (expenses related to the production of income). Expenses that do not qualify as deductible under either §162 or §212 are either nondeductible personal expenses or capitalized expenditures. There are several requirements that must be met in order for a taxpayer to deduct legal or other professional fees as trade or business expenses or as expenses related to the production of income. Each of these requirements is discussed in detail in Section I of this Portfolio."

"text": "[ Editor’s note: This is an updated version of an article that originally appeared in 2009. ] In light of recent global market volatility and its impact on clients’ portfolios, advisors are naturally investigating avenues to help investors mitigate losses while positioning their portfolios to benefit when the markets recover. One such avenue involves seeking out opportunities to help clients reduce the amount of tax they pay on their investment income. Consequently, the topic of the deductibility of investment management fees has become a popular, though not universally understood point of discussion among industry professionals. This column aims to help clear up some of the issues on the matter. Investors in mutual funds and wrap investment programs pay fees for investment advice and management services. The fees in either of these investment arrangements may be deducted for income tax purposes as a carrying charge. However, there are a number of important qualifications that must be kept in mind when considering each individual case. Exactly what kinds of investment management fees are deductible? Is there any advantage to claiming these fees through a wrap account rather than a mutual fund?"

"text": "Planning & taxes Think Carefully Before Signing Up For a High Deductible Health Plan By Adam Cataldo / 05.28.14The high-deductible health plan (HDHP) is frequently among the health insurance choices offered by companies these days. An HDHP plan is typically about 10% cheaper than a traditional preferred provider organization (PPO) plan and is usually associated with a company funded tax-advantaged health savings account (HSA) that is meant to fund some of your medical expenses. On the negative side, HDHP plans come with a much higher deductible and have much higher out-of-pocket caps on your health care spending. To determine which health insurance plan might be better for you, I suggest you compare your expected annual health care costs to the amount you save on your premiums and receive as a company contribution to your HSA. Let me explain. In return for a higher deductible, a high deductible health plan will charge lower premiums than PPO plans. In addition, most HDHPs come with an HSA to which your employer contributes on average $500 annually. You are better off with an HDHP as long as you expect to spend an amount less than your premium savings, plus your employer HSA contribution, plus your PPO deductible. This is best illustrated with some real numbers. To do a comparison, I used two plans available to Wealthfront employees from Blue Shield: The Blue Shield 500 PPO with a $500 deductible and the Blue Shield HDHP 2500 with a $2,500 deductible (note that each of these plans is in line with the average cost of similar policies as discussed in research by The Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust."

Partnerships are in Real Estate (from The Roundtable's 2014 Policy Agenda Tax Section)• Real Estate Roundtable Position• Background › Facts about Carried Interest › Enterprise Value• Real Estate Partnerships and Carried Interest › Key Points & Partnership Structure › Carried Interest & Real Estate Partnerships: Q&APosition : More than ever, commercial real estate is navigating through uncertain and unprecedented times. It is clear that the U. S. commercial real estate industry is trying to recover, but throughout most of the country, CRE is still struggling, representing a threat to the overall U. S. economic recovery. The commercial real estate industry agrees with the need to increase the federal debt ceiling and also with the efforts to reduce our country's long term budget deficits. However, The Real Estate Roundtable and other industry groups are concerned with proposals potentially changing the way that \"\"carried interest\"\" income is taxed. Do we want the U. S. economy to grow, or to shrink? If we want it to expand, elected officials cannot make growth investment less attractive. Such activity needs to be incentivized and rewarded, not punished.• Some claim that dramatically changing the tax on “carried interest” is something that would only affect hedge fund managers. In fact, the tax increase is squarely aimed at commercial real estate, since 46% of all partnerships in America are real estate and the vast majority of them use a carried interest structure.• Carried interest has been used in the commercial real estate industry for several decades as an investment model for rewarding the general partner in a real estate business venture for taking on the risks and liabilities associated with real estate projects, such as environmental concerns, operational shortfalls, construction delays and loan guaranties.• The proposal would effectively be retroactive with partnerships, including family partnerships and LLC’s, that may have been in existence for decades, losing the capital gains treatment on the carried interest, effectively devaluing all applicable existing properties."

A 529 plan is a college savings account that's exempt from federal taxes. The plans were introduced in 1996 to help taxpayers salt away college expenses for a designated beneficiary. These plans, named for Section 529 of the federal tax code, often have tax benefits at the state level for in-state residents."

If you suffer from allergies or asthma and you love dogs, you know how discouraging it is to have an allergy or asthma attack when you're around man's best friend.

It's the result from protein in the saliva and urine sticking to the dander or flaky dead skin cells that causes the reaction. Non-shedding dogs do not produce as much dander and therefore you are less likely to have a reaction. However, no dog is 100 percent hypoallergenic. The only way to know if you will have an allergic or asthmatic attack is to visit the breeder for several hours and see if you are sensitive to the dogs' dander.

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

Although they may not be able to compete in dog shows for purebred pups, these dogs have lots to offer. If you are getting a dog, a poodle mix could be the perfect match for you. Of course, since these dogs cannot be classified as pure bred, the outcome of the breeding of a poodle and another dog always yields variable results. The goldendoodle you fall in love with may not have the exact same characteristics as a goldendoodle from a different litter. ( Dog breeding is meant to make the characteristics of a given breed standard and predictable; thus, mixing two breeds yields uncertain but likely results. ) As with any new dog, adoption is strongly encouraged, and buying only from a responsible breeder is a must.

"text": "Hypoallergenic Dogs Non-shedding Dogs For Allergy Sufferers Which Dogs Are Best For Allergy Sufferers? Some non-shedding dogs can be better for allergy sufferers. While there really is no dog breed that is completely 100 percent allergy free, there are what is commonly called hypoallergenic dogs. The list of non-shedding dogs below are allergy friendly dog breeds that produce less dander and with regular grooming will reduce the allergens fur can collect causing the allergic reactions. These dogs will allow those of you that do suffer from allergies to keep your allergies at a very comfortable level, allowing you to enjoy owning and raising a dog. So... what can you do to help you choose the right allergy friendly breed for you? Spend Time With An Allergy Friendly Dog Test your allergy sensitivity by spending time with the dog of choice first. Visit a breeder of any hypoallergenic dog breed and spend at least an hour with it. This should give you the opportunity to see what, if any, health reactions you might develop. Most dog allergy sufferers have a different tolerance threshold."

SHAREDigg Stumble Upon Reddit RELATEDDog Pictures VIDEO: Obama Baby-Name Boom PHOTOS: Obama Inaugural Ride & More Presidential Limos Correction (April 15): A previous version of this text called Portuguese water dogs hypoallergenic, which was inaccurate. April 14, 2009 —Today the Obamas' new six-month-old puppy, named Amigo's New Hope—aka Bo—is scheduled to make his public debut and officially move into the White House. Shown on a test run with President Obama in the White House on March 15, 2009, the black-and-white Portuguese water dog is a gift to President Obama's daughters Malia and Sasha from Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who also owns Portuguese water dogs. Despite their lapdog looks, Portuguese water dogs are classified as working dogs. That means the pups seem to enjoy being given jobs that allow them to display their intelligence, strength, and stamina. \"\" This breed possesses a lot of energy, so without training or a job to do, the dog may entertain itself by running full-speed down the West Wing or barking at Republicans,\"\" said animal behaviorist Mary Burch of the American Kennel Club in a statement. At least the Obamas might not have to worry about Bo aggravating Malia's allergies, as the breed sheds less fur than the average breed—a fact that has led many to inaccurately dub \"\"Porties\"\" hypoallergenic. The new First Dog has triggered the most publicity that Portuguese water dogs have ever had since the breed's introduction into the U. S. in the late 1960s. \"\" While the PWD is a wonderful family pet, we want to use the increased interest in the breed as an opportunity to educate people about it,\"\" said Stu Freeman, president of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America. \"\""

Portuguese Water Dogs are originally from the Portuguese region of the Algarve, from where the breed expanded to all around Portugal's coast, where they were taught to herd fish into fishermen's nets, to retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, and to act as couriers from ship to ship, or ship to shore. [ 1] Portuguese Water Dogs rode in fishing trawlers as they worked their way from the Atlantic waters of Portugal to the waters off the coast of Iceland where the fleets caught cod. [ 2]In Portuguese, the breed is called cão de água ( IPA: [ˈkɐ̃w dɨ ˈaɡwɐ]; literally 'dog of water'). In Portugal, the dog is also known as the Algarvian Water Dog ( cão de água algarvio ), or Portuguese Fishing Dog ( cão pescador português ). cão de água de pêlo ondulado is the name given to the wavy-haired variety, and cão de água de pêlo encaracolado is the name for the curly-coated variety. [ 3]The Portuguese Water Dog is a fairly rare breed; only 36 Portuguese Water Dogs were entered for Britain's Crufts competition in 2013. ["

It is known, however, that the breed has grown in popularity in the United States during the last decade. The Shichon is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Shih Tzu, so its origins are a combination of the origins of these breeds.

"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's a Labradoodle anyways? Country of Origin: The Labradoodle is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and Standard or Miniature Poodle. It was first bred in Australia in 1989 by breeder Wally Conron, who sought to create a dog with the Labrador’s characteristic obedience and versatility and the Poodle’s hypoallergenic coat. As a crossbreed, the Labradoodle is not eligible for registration with purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club, but it can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club and CKC. Some breeders produce Labradoodles by crossing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Labrador Retriever (called a first generation cross), but others allow crossing Labradoodles with Poodles or Labrador Retrievers (called a backcross), or other Labradoodles (called a multi-generation cross). Different crosses can result in different characteristics. Australian Labradoodles are considered a purebred by some as they have been bred for sufficient generations with sufficient stock (some also contain Cocker Spaniel or Irish Water Spaniel ancestry) to produce a suitably consistent offspring (called ‘breeding true’). Like other ‘designer breeds’, the Labradoodle has seen a recent surge in popularity. These lovable dogs have become popular with many individuals, celebrity and everyman alike. Labradoodles have found their way into the homes of Tiger Woods, Jennifer Aniston, and Barbara Eden, star of I Dream of Jeannie, whose Labradoodle ‘Djinn Djinn’ was named after her invisible dog on the show."

Some brands are not, the most likely three reasons being that they might have been fried in corn oil (forbidden on Passover because corn is in a category of foods called kitniyos ), they might have had flour or some other starch applied to them during the packaging process to keep them from sticking to one another, or they may have been made or processed on equipment that was also used to process foods that are in and of themselves not Kosher for Passover. Potato chips that are marked Kosher for Passover are certified to have none of these issues...simple potato fried in non-corn oil, processed on machines that make nothing that is not Kosher for Passover.__________________ \"\" Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer.

"text": "\"Origin - Meaning - History - The Four Cups of Wine for Passover / Pesach The Four Cups of wine used in the Pesach / Passover Seder primarily symbolize the four distinct redemptions promised by G-d to the Hebrews as told in Shemot or Exodus 6:6-7. ( 1) \"\"I will take you out of Egypt\"\", (2) \"\"I will deliver you from Egyptian slavery\"\", (3) \"\"I will redeem you with a demonstration of my power\"\", and (4) \"\"I will acquire you as a nation\"\". Since each of these cups of wine symbolize an action that was performed by G-d, Jewish people fill a small cup or small wine glass with wine at four different points in the Passover Seder and drink each cup of wine. Drinking from The Four Cups also tells us that we can actively pursue these goals ourselves, meaning that we can actively free ourselves from whatever enslaves us. These are positive goals to salute by having a drink! There is a fifth cup of wine called \"\"The Cup of Elijah\"\" and it is reserved for Elijah the Prophet, who is believed to visit each Passover Seder that takes place around the world. In Shemot or Exodus 6:6-8, following the aforementioned Four Expressions of Redemption, there is a Fifth Expression of Redemption. A Fifth Cup of Wine symbolizes this expression of redemption for all humanity upon the arrival of Messianic Times and because this has not occurred yet, the Fifth Cup of Wine is not drunk. The origin of The Four Cups of Wine dates from rabbinical opinions contained in the Jerusalem Talmud (Pesachim 10:1). The Pesachim tractate of the Talmud comprises rabbinical opinions concerning performing various Passover rituals."

"text": "\"Question: Is there any type of pasta that may be eaten on the holiday of Passover? Answer: On Passover we do not eat any leavened food, chametz. This includes most foods made with flour grains, unless baked under certain conditions and guidelines. The matzah (a thin, cracker-like flatbread) that we eat on Passover is baked under controlled conditions that do not permit the thin bread to become leavened. The pasta we eat year round is made from wheat flour and is not baked under those conditions. For this reason we do not eat it on Passover. Likewise we do not eat pasta, and other products, made from barley, rye, oats, spelt or their derivatives. But, there is pasta available that may be eaten on Passover. The pasta is made from potato flour and has a “ Kosher for Passover” certification on the package. This means that the pasta is kosher to eat and also tells us that it was processed under strict conditions to prevent it from coming into contact with any leavening from flour of the five grains mentioned."

Kugel is a Yiddish term referring to a sweet or savory pudding prepared with noodles or potatoes. On Passover, when we traditionally remove all products made with flour from our diet, other than unleavened matzo, matzo farfel kugel often finds its way to the table instead of a noodle-based kugel. Matzo farfel is just matzo broken up into small pieces. When I offered to bring kugel to the first night seder, the traditional meal eaten on the first two nights of Passover, I realized I didn’t have a tried-and-true recipe for a matzo farfel kugel. So I started searching my Jewish cookbooks, the Internet, and my recipe files. And into the kitchen I went for some testing. I had hoped to find the perfect recipe on the first try so I could post a tested, perfected recipe for you. Well, that’s not exactly how it turned out, but I can share what I did and how I plan to modify the matzo farfel kugel for the next round of testing.

Therefore between breakfast and a very late dinner, we're avoiding both Chametz and Matza, but we can freely eat meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc., as long as we preserve a good appetite for the Seder. On Seder night there is a long portion where we have a full table set in front of us, whet our appetites with some wine and an extremely small appetizer, and then read the \"\"Haggadah\"\" and discuss the holiday's significance. During that time it is customary to give nuts or other treats to the children. After dinner we conclude with a piece of Matza called the Afikoman."

"text": "\"Living With Food Allergies Kosher Labeling and Milk or Dairy Allergy\"\"Kosher\"\" foods are foods which meet Jewish dietary laws. These dietary laws prohibit the consumption of certain foods, require that foods be processed in certain ways, and, most importantly for the food allergic, prohibit the mixing of dairy products and meat products. Although many parents of dairy-allergic children find it convenient to check for the Kosher labeling of a product to see if the product contains dairy ingredients, Kosher labeling is not an accurate way to determine if a product is safe from a food allergy standpoint. A basic explanation of Kosher labeling from the standpoint of the food allergic is as follows: In the Kosher system, foods are classified as being either \"\"dairy,\"\" \"\"meat\"\" or \"\"neutral\"\" (neither dairy nor meat). Foods that meet the Kosher dietary laws are labeled with one of the Kosher symbols, including: K,, and. You can usually find these symbols in small type on the bottom front of the package. Kosher foods that contain dairy products usually contain a \"\"D\"\" or the word \"\"Dairy\"\" after the Kosher symbol.

"text": "\"Did You Know The word vinegar is thought to be derived from the French word vinagere, which means sour wine. Yet the word \"\"balsamic\"\" means “sweet flavoured”. So Balsamic Vinegar is a bit of a schizophrenic. Although balsamic vinegar is considered a precious commodity and costs a pretty penny, wine vinegar is usually just wine that has gone sour; it is an inferior product and a shameful waste of its original value. Hence in the Talmud, the son who feels he has not achieved the standards of his righteous father refers to himself as \"\"vinegar compared to wine. \"\" We find in Megillas Ruth that Boaz's workers dipped their bread in vinegar. It would appear that even in early times the fermentation process for wine, vinegar and bread production was sufficiently understood and recognized as being of the same ilk to share the same name, Chametz. Wine and Halacha Halacha bans benefit from all things used for and in pagan worship. Wine has been universally used in sacramental pagan worship and for this reason; grape juice, wines and their related by-products are subject to special regulations within the guidelines of Kosher even though they have not actually been used for pagan service. Therefore, although the wine contains no non-Kosher components, it is treated like a non-Kosher product."

"text": "The Torah couldn’t make things any clearer. From Exodus 12:14 and 15: “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. ”But in the centuries since, food has gotten a lot more complicated, and the Jews who fled Egypt were fruitful and multiplied, melding their own traditions with regional customs. Today the rules governing keeping kosher for Passover aren’t as clear as they were in ancient Judea. Erik’s explainer on the Lenten fast taught me much about the Catholic tradition, so I’ll repay the favor with this guide for my Gentile friends on how American Jews keep kosher for Passover. I should preface this section by saying that even among the most observant Jews, there are disagreements over what is and what is not kosher for Passover. There are many foods, like jellies or butter, that should be considered allowable given their ingredients, but the equipment used to produce them is not cleaned and inspected by rabbinic observers. This is why you may see specially wrapped or branded products of everyday goods for those Jews who look for that extra degree of precaution."

"text": "\"Firstly, I'd like to note that any food product — with the exception of fresh and unprocessed fruit and vegetables — must have reliable kosher for Passover certification in order to be eaten on Passover. Even if the food item itself contains no chametz, it could contain minute amounts of chametz ingredients, and/or it could have been processed with utensils or machinery which may contain traces of chametz. That said, hummus, which is made from chickpeas, cannot be eaten on Passover by Ashkenazi Jews. For approximately the last thousand years, Jews of Ashkenazi descent have observed the prohibition of eating kitniyot, legumes, on Passover. Kitniyot includes legumes such as beans, peas, corn, rice, chickpeas, sesame, etc. The rationale behind this prohibition is the possibility of producing kitniyot -based flour and bread, which resembles wheat flour and wheat bread. Permitting the consumption of rice flour bread, for example, would create the likelihood for confusion and error on Passover. Different Sephardic communities have various customs with regards to kitniyot. However, even if you do eat chickpeas on Passover, be sure that the hummus has kosher for Passover certification.

The flowers are really inconspicuous and generally this plant is used for its foliage in conjunction with other plants in container arrangements. This is a tuberous perennial climber with a fleshy stem and it has a leaf that is heart-shaped to ovate. The season to be enjoyed is a long one from spring 'til frost and in some semi-tropical or tropical zones it grows all year long. The plant material is used in hanging baskets and window boxes. It is a great plant to use as a ground cover, and in beds, but since it is very thin leaved it will require a fair amount of watering. It likes to be moist. Plant in well drained, moist, humus soil."

"text": "Growing Sweet Potatoes in Seattle - Is It Possible? Arthur Lee Jacobson, January 7th, 2011During 2010, I tried to grow sweet potatoes in Seattle. Sweet Potatoes Briefly summarized: I learned that cultivars vary immensely and that growing sweet potato plants for their edible leaves is well worthwhile; but for their swollen roots alone, I found them not worth space in a garden here. The sweet potato is well known as a crop adapted to, and thriving in, warm and hot places. It is easy to grow there. Gardening books assign it USDA climate zones 9 through 12. In terms of its cultural preferences, it has little in common with its unrelated namesake the common potato Solanum tuberosum L. The latter is in another plant family (Nightshade), requires little summer warmth, and its leaves are poisonous even cooked. A nutrient comparison of the common or Irish potato, and the sweet potato, reveals that compared to common potatoes, sweet potatoes are higher in fat, lower in protein; higher in minerals; way higher in vitamin A. About 650 species of Ipomoea exist, primarily in tropical and warm-temperate regions. The common sweet potato, Ipomoea Batatas, originated in Central America. Domestication occurred before 6,500 years ago."

Download PDF Save For Later Print Purchase Print Articles Tomatoes on the Vine Tomatoes originated in South America--specifically in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Columbus and other explorers brought tomatoes to Europe by the late 1400s. In Europe and the United States, tomatoes were used only as ornamental plants until the early 1800s because the fruit was thought to be poisonous. Tomatoes are a member of the botanical family Solanaceae, which contains many potentially poisonous plants (nightshade, nicotianas [includes tobacco and petunias], Jimson weed [belladonna], and mandrake), as well as edible plants (potatoes, capsicums, and eggplants). All members of this family have toxic alkaloids present in either their leaves or their fruits. Commercial tomato production did not begin until after 1860 when tomatoes were finally accepted by consumers. Since 1890, tomato breeding has developed varieties adopted for use around the world. Tomatoes come in many different types of fruit--fresh or beefsteak types, grape, saladette, cherry, plum or paste, and others. Producing a mixture of these types may expand your marketing capabilities and prospects."

When the weather is hot outside, people spend more time in the great outdoors, which means more people accidentally running face first into some poisonous shrubs, leaves, and vines. If that sounds like you, instead of suffering through the itch or spending money on expensive pharmaceutical solutions, try some of these home remedies out. Why You Get a Rash from Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac For all three, urushiol is the culprit behind those itchy rashes and blisters, and you can actually get infected year round, not just in warmer months. The urushiol oil can be found on the leaves, stems, and even in the sap of roots and vines in these three Toxicodendron flowering plants — even during winter months. Urushiol oil can stay active on any surface it touches for up to five years, and it's only getting more potent thanks to climate change. Don't Miss: 12 Home Remedies for Relieving Annoying Allergy Symptons Though reactions vary, about 80–85% of people are allergic to urushiol oil, while a lucky 15% or so are immune to its toxins. So a red, itchy, blistering rash from poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac is an all too common skin affliction for most of us. Fortunately, like mentioned earlier, there are various home treatments we can try in our bout with Urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, aka Toxicodendron dermatitis, and they can be found in our medicine cabinets, refrigerators, and cupboards.

Never heard of a groundnut? Well, first off, it’s not a nut. So what are groundnuts and how do you grow groundnuts? Are Groundnuts Legumes? We have established that groundnuts aren’t, as their name would lead us to believe, nuts at all. So what are groundnuts then? Are groundnuts legumes? The groundnut, a climbing vine, is a member of the pea or bean family (Leguminosae) and distantly related to the soybean. It can be found from Ontario and Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the western prairies to the Atlantic coastline."

Known as the Final Cut King, Zach King is a bona fide Vine star. While other popular Vine users post six-second pranks, mash-ups or jokes, King’s Vines are also comedic, but they stand out from the crowd with his astonishing illusions that use major motion-picture-quality special effects. In a recent Vine, King grabs the Apple logo from his computer and turns it into a luscious silver three-dimensional apple and takes a bite out of it. “ I definitely got lead poisoning, I think,” he tells PEOPLE. “ I looked for edible spray paint and I couldn’t find any.” In another video he turns a lazy friend acting like a couch potato into actual potatoes. And in his most popular Vine, he takes a souvenir from Paris with him: the Eiffel Tower. King started on You Tube but soon realized that his short relatable videos were more shareable on a platform like Vine – and he was right. His videos have over a billion loops on Vine, and he’s racked up over 3.4 million followers at the time of this post."

"text": "\"I Say Tomayto, You Say Tomahto... Sam Cox December 2000The United States Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1883, a rather innocuous piece of legislation requiring a 10% tax on imported vegetables, in response to growing international trade. Just a few short years later, a tomato importer evaluated the law closely, and decided to challenge it on the botanical grounds that a tomato was in fact technically a fruit, not a vegetable, and should therefore be exempt from said tax. John Nix's case posed merit enough to land the case before the Supreme Court in 1893. In Nix vs Hedden, 149 U. S. 304 (1893), Justice Gray wrote, \"\"Botanically speaking, tomatoes are fruits of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas. But in the common language of the people...all these are vegetables, which are grown in kitchen gardens, and which, whether eaten cooked or raw, are, like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, celery and lettuce, usually served at dinner in, with or after the soup, fish or meats which constitute the principal part of the repast, and not, like fruits generally, as dessert [1].\"\" The court rejected the botanical truth that the tomato is in fact a monstrously sized berry, and deferred to the culinary vernacular of vegetable to describe it. Thus is tax yet paid on imported tomatoes. The giant berry traded abroad has a colorful history, and the story above is typical of a fruit that originated in one hemisphere, became popular in another, and returned back close to home for intense breeding that produced the tomato now familiar to most people today. Lycopersicon esculentum now enjoys worldwide distribution and is integral to the culinary disposition of multiple cultures. Where did the tomato come from? For more than a century, tomatoes have been grown in gardens from Kazakstan to California, and in many locales cultivation of the red fruit goes back centuries."

The outside has a potato like covering, once peeled the white interior is revealed. It has a sandy texture, crunchy but not very hard, and has a very neutral taste. It tastes slightly sweet and very moist. The jícama plant is a vine native to the tropical Americas that can reach a height of 4-5 m given suitable support. Its root can attain lengths of up to 2 m and weigh up to 20 kg. The root's exterior is yellow and papery, while its inside is creamy white with a crisp texture that resembles that of a raw potato or pear. The flavor is sweet and starchy."

How to Know When It's Time to Harvest Sweet Potatoes What Does it Mean When Potato Plants Turn Yellow? Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) aren’t that difficult to grow, so you may dedicate a corner of your garden to them each year. Occasionally a potato plant can suddenly sprout what look like a few tomatoes from the main stems above ground. Those aren’t the result of some strange experiment in your garden, but rather the result of potato flowers finally being pollinated. Potato Parts The edible part of the potato plant is a tuber connected to the roots of the plant. While you can cut up the potato into plantable chunks and get more potatoes, the tubers themselves are not seeds, even though the ones you plant are called seed potatoes. The true seeds of the plant appear only rarely, in round, green seed pods. It shouldn't be surprising that these seed pods look like tomatoes because potatoes and tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are members of the same plant family. Despite the similarity to tomatoes, these pods are not edible at all; in fact, they’re poisonous due to the large amount of solanine they contain."

Jicama also helps increase circulation, lower blood pressure levels, and boost brain function. What is Jicama? Jicama is a root vegetable native to central and South America and has been used for thousands of years as a dietary element and a medicinally beneficial substance. The name “jicama” is also the name of the vine of this vegetable, although the tuberous root is the most commonly [ 1] eaten part. Some other names for jicama include Mexican yam or Mexican turnip. In terms of a scientific name, this root vegetable is classified as Pachyrhizus erosus. The root itself can grow up to 2 meters long and can weigh up to 20 kgs at the extreme. It requires between 6-9 months of frost-free growth time, so it is cultivated in warm weather, making Mexico and the surrounding areas of America ideal for its growth. Its cultivation began in Mexico but soon moved to the Philippines, and from there, it went to China and other parts of Southeast Asia."

"text": "Home Services Environment Animals, plants and habitat Noxious weeds Weed identification photos Bittersweet nightshade Bittersweet nightshade identification and control Solanum dulcamara, Solanaceae Family Bittersweet nightshade, also known as woody nightshade or European bittersweet, is a perennial vine or scrambling shrub with slender stems in the Nightshade Family. Originally from Europe, it is now widespread throughout North America and commonly found in backyards, along edges of fields, vacant lands, roadsides, and along streams and wetlands where it thrives in moist soil and partial shade. Legal status in King County, Washington Bittersweet nightshade is not on the Washington State Noxious Weed List and property owners are not required to control this plant. However, in King County, it is classified as a Weed of Concern and control is recommended, especially in natural areas that are being restored to native vegetation and along stream banks where nightshade can interfere with fish habitat. For more information about noxious weed regulations and definitions, see Noxious weed lists and laws. Identification (see below for additional photos)Perennial vine or sprawling shrub; lower stems woody, upper herbaceous branches die back each year Flowers have star-shaped, purple, backward-pointing petals and stamens fused in a prominent yellow cone; grow in clusters along branches on short stalks extending out from the stems Berries are round or egg-shaped and bright red when ripe with numerous yellow, flattened seeds; unripe berries are green Leaves are dark-green to purplish and often with one or two small ear-like lobes near the base, leaf blades are 1 to 4 inches long Main root grows horizontally just below the surface and suckers frequently Crushed leaves and bark have an unpleasant smell Toxicity Although this is not the same plant as deadly nightshade or belladonna (an uncommon and extremely poisonous plant), bittersweet nightshade is somewhat poisonous and has caused loss of livestock and pet poisoning and, more rarely, sickness and even death in children who have eaten the berries. Fortunately, bittersweet nightshade has a strong, unpleasant odor, so most animals will avoid it, and poisonings from this plant are not very frequent. The entire plant contains solanine, the same toxin found in green potatoes and other members of the nightshade family, and it also contains a glycoside called dulcamarine, similar in structure and effects to atropine, one of the toxins found in deadly nightshade. The toxin amount varies with soil, light, climate and growth stage. Ripe fruits are generally less toxic than the leaves and unripe berries, but even ripe berries can be poisonous."

Unfortunately, the impact of the starch in potatoes can place them in the \"\"bad carb\"\" category for some people. While healthy individuals can tolerate them in moderation, the carbohydrates in potatoes are not a good choice for anyone who is diabetic or prediabetic or needs to keep her blood sugar balanced. Total Carbohydrate Content The amount of total carbohydrates includes all of the sugar, starch and fiber found in a potato. The total carbohydrates in a medium-sized potato range from 27 grams in red and white potatoes to 34 grams in sweet potatoes and 36.5 grams in russet potatoes. Adults should consume 130 grams of total carbohydrates daily, so eating one potato supplies 21 to 28 percent of your entire day’s carbohydrates. Sugar and Starch Russet, red and white potatoes share similar sugar and starch profiles."

Rutabagas contain less than half the calories of potatoes and sweet potatoes. ( Molly Kimball )Comment By Molly Kimball NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune White potatoes get a bad rap in the nutrition word, and while some of it is justified, it's not all bad news. As long as you leave the skin on, they're a good source of fiber, and they're an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, with three times as much potassium as a banana. But a plain old potato - no toppings, not fried - can top 300 calories, with the carb equivalent of five slices of bread. Even worse, white potatoes rank high on the glycemic index, meaning they can cause blood sugar levels to spike and crash quickly - not good if you're trying to lose weight, curb hunger, or maintain steady energy levels. Many people turn to sweet potatoes as a lower-calorie, more figure-friendly alternative, but the reality is that ounce for ounce, sweet potatoes actually have more sugar, carbs and calories than regular white potatoes. They do have a lower glycemic impact, though, which means that they may help you feel fuller longer, and can help to maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels. So if you're trying to shave carbs and calories and you're looking for something to take the place of this starchy favorite, here are four potato swaps with 40 to 60 percent fewer calories and as much as 70 percent fewer carbs, plus recipes for each.

Though often maligned in trendy diets, carbohydrates — one of the basic food groups — are important to a healthy life. \"\" Carbohydrates are macronutrients, meaning they are one of the three main ways the body obtains energy, or calories,\"\" said Paige Smathers, a Utah-based registered dietitian. The American Diabetes Association notes that carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. They are called carbohydrates because, at the chemical level, they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. There are three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fats, Smathers said. Macronutrients are essential for proper body functioning, and the body requires large amounts of them.

Almost 4 grams of the carbs in a sweet potato come from fiber, which helps keep you feeling full so you eat less and stay on track for shedding weight. Eating plenty of fiber also supports heart and gastrointestinal health. The 542 milligrams of potassium in this serving size meet 12 percent of your potassium needs for the day. Orange Beauties Sweet potatoes' rich orange color indicates their high vitamin A content, in the form of beta-carotene."

"text": "The Atkins Diet Under the Spotlight By Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RDTweet Unless you’ve been living on Mars, chances are you’ve heard of the Atkins diet – and probably know someone who’s tried it, if you haven’t done so yourself. After all, it’s a diet that sounds too good to be true. To shift those pounds quickly you simply need to start the day with bacon and eggs, snack on chunks of cheese, top coffee with cream and feast on steaks fried in butter. Not exactly the typical foods you’d find on the shopping lists of most slimmers who’ve grown up with the idea that a low-fat diet is the best way to lose weight. But like all things that sound too good to be true, there’s a catch. And in the case of the Atkin’s diet, it means that filling up on high-fat foods needs to be balanced by giving up most carbs including bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, chocolate, crisps, biscuits, cake – even fruit, milk and some veg in the early stages. Nevertheless, the Atkin’s diet has captured the hearts – and tastebuds – of everyone from A-list celebs such as Jennifer Aniston and Renee Zellweger to business men, teachers and housewives. In fact, at its peak in late 2003, more than three million Brits were estimated to have tried the diet in an effort to shape up and slim down. In spite of this, the Atkins Diet has caused the biggest weight loss debate in years, generating almost as many column inches as advocates of the diet have claimed to lose from their waistline. And even today, nutrition experts have still not been won over."

"text": "Robert Cruder, works at Lockheed Martin Answered Mar 22, 2017 · Author has 868 answers and 197.7k answer views“Complex carbohydrates” are oversold. Starches are converted into glucose within minutes of consumption and only other food components such as fiber and fat slow that. Diabetics would not be prescribed amylase inhibitors if they were not needed. The glucose is stored mostly in the liver and quickly enough that one is hungry an hour after a meal of white rice. The only carbs complex enough to prevent this are considered to be indigestible fiber. Sucrose is half glucose and half fructose. The fructose is not burned like glucose at all. Rather, it is converted to fat on its first pass through the liver and appears as plasma triglycerides. Cardiologists consider that to be at least as harmful as cholesterol. The end result is not exactly the same but high starch and high sugar diets both have negative cardiovascular effects.47 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Does eating a small amount of sugar (10 g) a day have a negative effect on fat loss?"

Are you confused by all the talk of carbohydrates? If so, you are not alone. Read on to check out our good carb guide to help you load up on good carbs and cut back on bad carbs. Carb 101: Good and Bad Carbs Carbohydrates, despite their bad rap, are an essential component of a healthy, well-balanced diet. But what kind of carbs? Carbohydrates are found in many foods in different forms: sugars, starches, and fiber. Your body requires all three forms at different times. For example, during long periods of exercise (lasting more than 1 hour), sugars are the best source of fuel – they are used quickly by the body when your body needs energy most. By contrast, starches and fiber should be the bulk of your carbohydrate intake on a daily basis."

Some are medically prescribed. A ketogenic diet (that's the scientific name and i'll tell you why) is actually proven to help children with epilipsy because it helps eliminate seizures. So let me tell you how those diets work and then you'll see what you can and cannot eat. Your body has a hierarchy which it uses when it's burning food (think of food as fuel) for energy.

"text": "Glycemic Index THE GLYCEMIC INDEX IS RELATIVELY NEW BUT CAN BE HELPFUL AS LONG AS YOU EAT THE ITEMS LOW ON THE LIST - UNDER 55 OR LESS. 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."

"text": "\"Reducing the amount of carbs you eat is one of the best ways to lose weight. It tends to reduce your appetite and cause “automatic” weight loss, without the need to count calories. This means you can eat until fullness, feel satisfied and still lose weight. Why Would You Want to Eat Fewer Carbs? The dietary guidelines recommend that carbs provide 45 to 65 percent of your daily calorie intake. So if you eat a 2000-calorie diet, you should aim for about 225 to 325 grams of carbs per day. But if you need to lose weight, you will get much faster results eating around 50 to 150 grams of carbs. In fact, a popular alternative called the low-carb diet has been shown to be much more effective for weight loss than the high-carb diet that has been recommended for the past few decades. This diet restricts your intake of carbohydrates like sugars and starches (breads, pasta, etc.) and replaces them with protein, fat and healthy vegetables."

Which Foods Are Considered Carbs? Contrary to what the proponents of ultra-low-carb weight loss diets might tell you, eating carbs isn't antithetical to losing weight. However, it is essential to choose the right carbs – not only to lose weight, but to support your general good health. Most of your carbs should come from healthy sources, including vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. And as for the unhealthy ones? Well, read on to see which carbs should be avoided, or at least minimized, in any healthy diet. Sugar-Sweetened Beverages When it comes to empty calories, it's tough to beat the nutritional nadir that is sugar-sweetened beverages. The Harvard School of Public Health points at sugary drinks specifically as contributors to the obesity epidemic – and it's no wonder, since most of these drinks are nothing more than pure liquid sugar. And because liquid drinks don't trigger the same feelings of fullness as eating solid foods, they may be even less filling than other sugary sweets, like candy."

We can change things up, shift stuff around. Physiological processes (among which weight loss and metabolism can certainly be counted) are never linear – that’s partly what makes all this stuff so endlessly engaging. Today, I revisit a strategy for overcoming these lulls in weight loss induced by low carb: carb (re)feeds. They seem counterintuitive, sort of, especially if you’ve had success restricting carbs, but hold you opinions until you read on. I think you’ll find it enlightening.

How to Avoid Stomach Acid GERD Nutrition Acid reflux is a digestive condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. Over time the acid irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes common symptoms like heartburn. The discomfort of heartburn can usually be managed by eating bland foods, making lifestyle changes and using over-the-counter medications. Avoiding foods that can aggravate your condition can greatly decrease the painful symptoms of acid reflux. Lifestyle Modifications Modifying your habits along with avoiding foods that will aggravate acid reflux may help you to control your symptoms without the use of medication. The National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse recommends eating smaller meals more frequently during the day. You should also avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing, which puts pressure on your abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter. Mayo Clinic.com suggests eating at least three hours before lying down, since this position makes it easier for stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus. Two additional recommendations which can prevent or lessen the side effects of acid reflux are to maintain a healthy weight and quit smoking."

First, it is formula, followed by cereal, followed by pureed vegetables and fruits. Sometimes, we taste the things our child is eating and most of the time, we realize that they are very bland. How could our children be forced into eating such tasteless meals? When our babies are very young, before six months of age, their digestive system is not ready to take on sweets, sours, and salts – any of those flavorful ingredients we cannot live without. When our children are first being introduced to foods, it is important to feed them without any additional ingredients. Not only does this help them learn how to eat without upsetting their stomachs, it also keeps them from becoming reliant on sweet-tasting foods. Some pediatricians actually recommend starting your child on vegetables before fruits because vegetables are more bland, then giving your child the fruit as a treat. As adults, we cannot picture eating a meal that does not have some type of flavor to it."

"text": "The Curious History of Graham Crackers and Corn Flakes June 1, 2012The graham cracker is a cookie of sorts, common in the United States, which is typically sweetened with sugar, honey, and/or cinnamon. The current recipe is a far cry from their original one — a mild, unsweetened biscuit made of unbleached flour with bran and wheat germ added. Graham crackers were originally invented in the early 1800s by a Presbyterian minister by the name of Sylvester Graham, who introduced this snack item as part of his then-radical vegetarian diet which eschewed white flour and spices. Why? Graham hoped to end what he believed to be the scourge of his time: masturbation. Graham, one of seventeen children, found sexual urges to be something to be repressed, and found “self-abuse” — a colloquialism common in the 1820s and 1830s — to be a particular ill of society. By some combination of pseudoscience and faith, he concluded that a vegetarian diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, limited dairy, and bland starches would result in an end to lustful behavior. For the last two decades of his life, Graham (who died at age 57) preached that his diet, later called the Graham Diet, would help those who followed it (called Grahamites) abstain from sexual activity, and, in particular, from self-love, which Graham argued led to insanity and blindness. The Grahamite movement waned after its leader’s death in 1851, but one man in particular stayed true to Graham’s bland food (and sexual abstinence) edict. That man, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, was the superintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, and he insisted that patients abide by a similar diet."

Chronic diarrhea is less common, but is more serious and will require more effort to correct. First, lets look at acute diarrhea.

"text": "Is It Safe For Diabetics To Eat Potatoes? Published on: August 22nd, 2011Article by: Anthony Wilson Filed under: Blood Glucose, Fibre, Food & Drink, Glycemic Index & Load Despite being the most popular vegetable in the United States, potatoes have fallen out of favour somewhat with nutritionists over the last few decades due to a relatively low nutrient density and high levels of quickly absorbed carbohydrates. Many diabetics avoid potatoes altogether for fear of exacerbating their condition. Fortunately the news is not all bad when it comes to diabetes and potatoes and most diabetics can include a modest level of potatoes in their diet. The main reason diabetics are cautious when it comes to potatoes is their very high glycemic index (GI) value. The glycemic index is important for diabetics because it is a measure of the impact a particular food has on blood glucose levels once it has been digested. Eating large amounts of foods with high GI values results in a large increase in blood sugar levels which would normally result in a corresponding rise in insulin to bring blood sugar levels back to a normal level within a few hours. Because diabetics have an impaired insulin response, blood sugar levels can remain very high for quite some time leading to the typical symptoms of diabetes such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, and nerve problems. Potatoes have a GI value that ranges from 65 to 80 which is considered high. By comparison table sugar (sucrose) has a GI of 63, white bread has a GI of 71, wholemeal bread a GI of 60, and brown rice a GI of 55."

Once thought as a healthier carbohydrate choice, it is now known that although a food contains complex carbs, it can be digested just as quickly as simple carbs like sugars and have similar effects on your health. Both potatoes and brown rice contain a significant proportion of their carbohydrates as starches. Potatoes A medium baked potato contains 29 grams of carbohydrates, of which 2.9 grams are fiber and 25 grams are starches. Potato is categorized as a starchy vegetable because more than 85 percent of the carbohydrates it contains are starches. Mashed potatoes have a similar amount of starch, with 29 grams per cup, and frozen french fries have approximately 34 grams of starch per serving of 15 strips.

Carbohydrate types are either complex (as in starches) or simple (as in fruits and sugars). One gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories. The current general recommendation is that carbohydrates should provide between 45 - 65% of the daily caloric intake. Carbohydrate intake should not fall below 130 grams/day.

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.

"text": "Good Treats for Good Diabetic Dogs Fruits and vegetables (Photo credit: nutrilover)I've written before about my sometimes horrifying discoveries about treats and my diabetic dog, mainly instances where I discovered that I should have checked the ingredients (high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars turn up in a lot of commercial dog treats), but I haven't often touched on treats that are better for your pet. Recently, Dog Channel.com published an article on using vegetables as treats, and I think this is a godsend. I know quite a few dog owners who routinely feed their pets whatever they themselves are having for dinner (see my next post for more on that! ), which is especially bad in many cases because said dog owners are not consuming a healthful diet themselves. With diabetes, the treat question is more complex anyway. Starches and sugars, really anything with a high glycemic index, can cause blood sugars to rise (and fall, too, for those who still are producing some insulin themselves), a bad situation when it comes to maintaining good health. So, low glycemic index vegetables can be a better choice, as long as you remember that these are TREATS, not meals, and keep the portions to an appropriate size. The article covers this issue pretty well, although it doesn't take diabetes into account. For example, DO NOT give a diabetic dog potatoes (and if you want to give sweet potatoes, keep the serving very small -- their impact on blood sugar is not terribly high like regular potatoes, but they do have an impact, after all). Starchy vegetables raise blood sugar almost as much as sugars do."

"text": "Home › Vegetables › Potato11 Incredible Benefits of Potatoes39 Comments Potatoes are one of the most common and important food sources on the planet, and they contain a wealth of health benefits that make them all the more essential as a staple dietary item for much of the world’s population. These health benefits include their ability to improve digestion, reduce cholesterol levels, boost heart health, protect from polyps, prevent cancer, and manage diabetes. They strengthen the immune system, reduce signs of aging, protect the skin, increase circulation, reduce blood pressure, maintain fluid balance, reduce insomnia, and aid in eye care. What are Potatoes? The term potato can refer to either the plant or the entire tuber, which is rather shapeless and ugly, in most varieties. Its scientific name is Solanum tuberosum, and it is actually a member of the nightshade family. These vegetables are native to the Americas, most likely in the Andes, Peru, and Bolivia. They have been cultivated somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 years ago in the central and south American region. Children around the world often refuse to eat vegetables but they like potatoes. This is the strange and magical quality of potatoes; you will rarely find anyone who dislikes them or refuses to eat them."

When it comes to the most important safety mechanism on your vehicle, letting problems go until that system no longer functions properly is a recipe for disaster. Don’t ignore the warning signs of impending brake failure, keep your braking system functioning at its peak performance. The following is a list of the top ten warning signs that you are in need of brake service. Spongy Pedal A soft, spongy feel in the brake pedal is a sure sign of a problem in the hydraulic system. Issues such as air in the lines, failing calipers or wheel cylinders, or a weak flex line can feel soft when you hit the pedal. Your brake pedal should be firm and the brakes should feel solid and apply gradually. When the pedal is soft and spongy, your braking system is likely to fail soon. It could be as simple as needing more fluid in the master cylinder. Hard Pedal If the brake pedal is hard to push, the problem is most likely in the power assist mechanism."

"text": "Hydraulic Brake Booster: How It Works Posted on November 23, 2015Braking systems that use a hydraulic brake booster are known for being sensitive, needing only about half of the applied pedal pressure to create the same amount of brake pressure as conventional vacuum booster brakes. Because of this and other reasons, they are widely sought after for diesel engines, but they are still the minority compared to vacuum brake boosters. While vacuum boosters took the braking system to a whole new level, the hydraulic brake system refined power brakes, making them more efficient, more powerful, and overall more beneficial to almost any type of car. First introduced by General Motors in the 1990s, several of their trucks (particularly ones with diesel engines) came equipped with this hydroboost brake system. Since then, it has become hot rod refurbishers’ secret weapon. How Hydraulic Brake Boosters Work Your car has several intricate systems that allow you to steer, brake, speed up, and start the engine. The goal of hydraulic boosters was to use a system already in place for almost all vehicles in order to power the brakes. That system is the power steering. When you steer, fluid pressure is built up in the power steering pump due to the constant circulation of the power steering fluid. This hydraulic pressure, in a hydraulic brake booster system, is then stored in an area called an “accumulator.”"

I've had my coolant flushed before for around $70, but every place I go to charges just over $100 for brake fluid and power steering fluid. Are these fair numbers, or should I keep looking?1 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hope you don't listen to Adam and Nowhere. Power steering fluid isn't a real big concern but brake fluid is. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it attracts moisture. As moisture builds up in it it causes corrosion in the master and wheel cylinders which can lead to failure. Even worse is that the moisture is not compressible so lowers the efficiency of the braking system. Worse yet is that the moisture lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid considerably. Heavy braking with a brake system contaminated by moisture can lead to the fluid boiling, resulting in total brake failure."

"text": "Power Steering Fluid The majority of cars on the U. S. market have power steering standard. Just like how your brakes need fluid to work your power steering also needs fluid to perform. The power steering uses power steering fluid and pump to aid the driver in turning the steering wheel. Power steering enables the driver to turn the steering wheel with one finger if so desired. Power steering is not necessary to the operation of a vehicle, but power steering offers a driver more control over their vehicle. If power steering fluid gets too low or completely runs out, steering the vehicle could become next to impossible. In order to better understand how to take care of such a useful system you must know where the power steering reservoir is located on your engine. The power steering reservoir on the Honda Accord is located on the left-hand side directly next to the wiper fluid reservoir. The power steering fluid reservoir will be labeled and just like the brake fluid reservoir it will be see-through with markers on the side of the reservoir to indicate proper fill level. The location of the power steering fluid reservoir is different on different models of vehicles and you can locate the reservoir by referencing your owner's manual."

"text": "Aircraft Disc Brake Aircraft Brake Design Wheel brakes are normally used to slow the aircraft down during landing roll on the runway and to aid in directional control during ground handling operations as taxiing, steering and parking. In small GA aircraft the brakes are connected to the main landing gear only and are usually operated independently from each other. The brake systems are operated by hydraulic pressure and the rudder pedals have the brakes installed on top and are toe operated. Some aircraft use heel brakes or even with separate levers in the cockpit operated by hand (e.g. Pipistrel, Dyn Aero MCR and Tecnam). With larger aircraft the weight increases but the force pilots can apply will usually be about the same for every human being. It is therefore important that the pilot gets help in the form of brake boosters or power assisted brakes to handle the heavier aircraft. Wheel brakes The wheel brakes are usually made of the disc type, but on some exotic aircraft the drum type with two brake shoes inside is still being used. You know them from old ancient cars too. Drum type With this model the two brake shoes are operated by either pneumatic (air) or hydraulic (oil) pressure or maybe even manually with a cable (very rare). You won't see these on modern aircraft anymore."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Cars & Vehicles Auto Parts and Repairs Steering and Suspension Power Steering What happens if you put power steering fluid in brake fluid? Flag What happens if you put power steering fluid in brake fluid? Answer by Mrgallant Confidence votes 9.3KNothing good. Brake fluid is usually much higher density hydraulic fluid as well as different type than is power steering fluid. In vehicles with ABS systems it will damage sensors and seals, and in any vehicle it will result in spongy, poorly operating brakes and damaged seals. If you're lucky and haven't driven the vehicle yet, DON'T. DO NOT operate the brakes, you may be able to remove the power steering fluid before you cause this damage. Use a turkey baster (seriously, they're cheap), or a syringe or similar device to drain your brake fluid reservoir of as much fluid as possible, refill with proper brake fluid, mix it a little if you can and drain it again to be sure. Refill the reservoir. You may wish to consult a mechanic about whether to flush the entire system or not afterwards. Alternatively, if the brakes have been used, you could be looking at a very expensive repair bill."

"text": "\"Management & Mobility Easily Finding Special Paths for Power Shell Scripts Paths to key operating system and user folders aren’t always standardized Alex Angelopoulos | Nov 18, 2011Even in the most standardized networks, it's easy to specify the incorrect paths to special folders such as My Documents or temporary folders that have special roles in Windows. Fortunately, you can ask Windows where particular folders are located. After I explain the root of the problem, I'll show you how to make Microsoft Power Shell scripts consistently find the right path, even in nonstandard setups. Understanding the Problem Although working with files and folders is a standard task for network administrators, the specific paths to those folders aren't standard. Windows installations, upgrades, hardware installations, user policies, and machine policies can all lead to wildly varying paths for special folders. Even in standardized networks, variations are possible due to machine roles or user requirements. Some of these paths are relatively easy to find with Power Shell variables. For example, the $home variable always contains the literal path to a user's home folder. However, finding other paths might require some guesswork. For example, if your users are mainly running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you could try accessing the folder that contains temporary Internet files by using the path \\$home\\App Data\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Temporary Internet Files."

"text": "\"Management & Mobility Power Shell: Objects and Output Bill Stewart | May 12, 2015Now that you’ve started using Power Shell as an interactive command line (if you’re not, see my last article for why you should), you’ll need to understand that there are some fundamental differences between how Cmd.exe and Power Shell process input and output. There are two fundamental Power Shell principles that you need to understand before you’re ready to leave batch files (Cmd.exe shell scripts) behind and move to Power Shell: Power Shell uses objects, not text, and Display output is not content. Let’s take a closer look at both of these principles. Power Shell Uses Objects, not Text The first principle is that Power Shell processes objects, not text. You have probably heard this before, but you might need some time to adjust to this principle means if you have a background in Cmd.exe or other command shells. Let’s look at a fairly simple Cmd.exe example. Suppose we have the directory C:\\Scripts that contains some text files, and we want to create a comma-delimited list of these files and their last write times. Figure 1 shows a directory listing, the content of a shell script (batch file), and the script’s output. Figure 1 - Getting file names and last write times in Cmd.exe The output from the Listing1.cmd script in Figure 1 is text only. This means that if, for example, we want to extract the year of each file, we have to parse the date string by getting a substring starting at the seventh character and counting four characters."

Automatic (Delayed Start) is a new service startup mode that is available from Windows Vista onward. This startup type allows you to configure less important services to start a bit later when Windows boots up. This reduces the boot time of a Windows computer. Though it is a very good feature, Microsoft didn’t update the Win32_Service WMI class to support this new startup type. Because of this, it is difficult to set this startup type in scripts. I came up with this script to ease the life of Windows Administrators. The script is a wrapper on top of SC.exe (service controller) that sets a given service to Automatic (Delayed Start)."

Anyway, read on for my riff on Powershell jobs and the 3 step process you need to use them. Powershell Jobs Jobs were introduced to Powershell in v2.0, and give Powershell an easy way to multithread your scripts without getting into some ugly code–which frankly Runspaces does get you into, if only a little. But Powershell Jobs do have one major limitation when compared to Runspaces that we have to deal with. It’s the complete lack of throttling. Which means Powershell will let you submit as many jobs as you possibly can, with no regard to the fact that you can overload your computer and essentially bring most of the processing to a halt! Luckily, this isn’t too difficult to deal with. The cmdlets you can use with Jobs are: Start-Job Stop-Job Get-Job Retrieve-Job Remove-Job Wait-Job Suspend-Job I won’t be dealing with Stop, Wait or Suspend in this post as I haven’t really had a need to use them yet."

Since Power Shell is built on top of the . NET framework, . NET's excellent regular expression support is also available to Power Shell programmers. Power Shell -match and -replace Operators With the -match operator, you can quickly check if a regular expression matches part of a string. E.g. 'test' -match '\\w' returns true, because \\w matches t in test. As a side effect, the -match operator sets a special variable called $matches. This is an associative array that holds the overall regex match and all capturing group matches. $matches [0] gives you the overall regex match, $matches [1] the first capturing group, and $matches ['name'] the text matched by the named group \"\"name\"\". The -replace operator uses a regular expression to search-and-replace through a string."

Power Shell had a built-in Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) \"\"type accelerator\"\" that let you access AD objects, but you were pretty much on your own figuring out how to make it work to perform AD administrative tasks. Shortly thereafter, Quest Software offered a free set of cmdlets for performing AD administration tasks, such as creating, modifying, and deleting AD objects and searching for objects in AD. For a long time, this was the state of Power Shell and AD management. When Microsoft shipped Windows Server 2008 R2, everything changed because it introduced the Active Directory Module for Windows Power Shell. The AD module includes a set of cmdlets for managing AD as well as an AD Provider that lets you navigate AD as if it were a drive letter. I'll describe how to install the AD module and how it works in detail. Installing the Active Directory Module Unlike previous tools that use LDAP to communicate with AD, the AD module uses the Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) protocols to communicate with an AD domain controller (DC). The MSDN blog posting \"\" Active Directory Web Services Overview \"\" describes these communication protocols in detail, but suffice it to say that both the Power Shell cmdlets in the AD module and the Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC) use ADWS to communicate with and get information from AD."

If you are looking for a script to cover your every day needs, please read that article instead as I believe it is a better script. This script, however, is easier to understand if you are looking to learn this for yourself!This post is actually the reason that I created the blog. When I first started looking into multithreading in Power Shell V2 I really didn’t find anyone on the web that really had a good explanation or how-to. So, why would you want to multithread your scripts? Well, if you have ever tried to run a certain script against every server or even workstation in your org you know that it can take a very long time to run because it is hitting each server, one at a time, in sequence. Wouldn’t it be great if you could run your script against 20 servers at a time? As it turns out, you can, and it’s easier than you think. All of the work comes in understanding the 4 main cmdlets surrounding multithreading in Power Shell V2: Start-Job, Wait-Job, Get-Job and Receive-Job. The basic flow states that you start all jobs, then wait for all jobs to finish, then see what jobs you have (get) and receive all the output."

"text": "\"Management & Mobility Windows Power Shell Range Operator Tricks Take aim with the range operator to generate complex sequences of numbers to help automate administrative tasks Alex Angelopoulos | May 20, 2008If you work as a consultant for small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs), you know that assessing client networks is a perennial task. In some cases, you might have sources such as Active Directory (AD) for identifying some of the computers on a LAN, but the tried-and-true method for discovering everything that's out there is frequently just testing the addresses on the entire local IP network. This method won't find machines that are turned off or currently away from the network, but it's a handy foundation for live data collection—and, as a bonus, also discovers network appliances that you might not know about. But it's not acceptable to have someone manually enter all the valid addresses for a typical network—typing all those numbers is laborious and error-prone. This is where knowing a few easy tricks with Windows Power Shell will help you out. Power Shell's range operator (..), combined with pipeline processing, lets you run a task hundreds of times just as easily as running it once. This feature is handy for network administration tasks involving many computers. To show you what I mean, I'm going to demonstrate how to quickly generate an entire family of IP addresses for computers, letting you easily perform data-collection tasks that would otherwise take a lot of effort. Find the Range Let's look at a standard Class C private network using the 192.168.1.0 subnet with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If you prefer Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation, this is 192.168.1.0/24."

Even in the shortest script, being able to handle errors helps to ensure that an unexpected event will not go on to wreck the system you are working on. Take the example below. Every week in our sample company (My Company. Com) Human Resources are going to upload a list telling us who should have access to the Expenses database. If a name isn’t in the list from HR we’re going to remove it from the group and that user will no longer be able to log expense claims:$Authorized Users = Get - Content \\\\ File Server \\H RShare \\User List. txt $Current Users = Get - ADGroup Member \"\"Expenses Claimants\"\"Foreach ( $User in $Current Users) {If ( $Authorized Users - notcontains $User) {Remove - ADGroup Member - Identity \"\"Expenses Claimants\"\" - User $User }}Now, you can see where this is going to go wrong. One week HR doesn’t get around to uploading the list or, just as we are about to access the list, the file server dies. Suddenly Power Shell throws an error on the Get-Content cmdlet and the $Authorized User variable remains empty. Because our script doesn’t handle errors, it continues to run and, in a very short space of time, it has removed every user from our expenses group."

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical substance that is widely used as a permanent hair dye. It may also been found in textile or fur dyes, dark coloured cosmetics, temporary tattoos, photographic developer and lithography plates, photocopying and printing inks, black rubber, oils, greases and gasoline. The use of PPD as a hair dye is popular because it is a permanent dye that gives a natural look. Hair can also be shampooed without becoming decoloured and perming to achieve waves or curls can be done without difficulty. PPD hair dyes usually come packaged as 2 bottles, one containing the PPD dye preparation and the other containing the developer or oxidizer. PPD is a colourless substance that requires oxygen for it to become coloured. It is this intermediate, partially oxidised state that may cause allergy in sensitive individuals. Fully oxidized PPD is not a sensitiser thus individuals with PPD allergy can wear wigs or fur coats dyed with PPD safely."

An in vitro whole-blood assay has been proposed as an alternative. Using health care worker volunteers, we confirmed the correlation between PPD skin test (PPD-ST) results (positive, induration of >15 mm) and a standardized gamma interferon (IFN-γ) assay, Quanti FERON-TB (Q-IFN), manufactured by CSL Biosciences in Australia, and we evaluated Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture subfractions as potential substitutes for PPD. Twenty healthy volunteers with positive PPD-ST results and 20 PPD-ST-negative controls were enrolled. Whole blood was cultured with human PPD antigens (Hu PPD), Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) PPD, phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and four M. tuberculosis culture subfractions: low-molecular-weight culture, filtrate, culture filtrate without lipoarabinomannan, soluble cell wall proteins, and cytosolic proteins, all developed from M. tuberculosis strain H 37 RV. Secretion of IFN-γ (expressed as international units per milliliter) was measured by an enzyme immunoassay. The PPD or subculture fraction response as a percentage of the PHA response was used to determine positivity. Sixteen of 20 PPD-ST-positive individuals were classified as M. tuberculosis positive by Q-IFN, and 1 was classified as MAC positive. Sixteen of 20 PPD-ST-negative individuals were M. tuberculosis negative by Q-IFN, 2 were MAC positive, and 2 were M. tuberculosis positive."

Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail. Purified Protein Derivative (PPD)-Tuberculin Anergy and HIV Infection: Guidelines For Anergy Testing And Management Of Anergic Persons At Risk Of Tuberculosis INTRODUCTIONThe occurrence of tuberculosis among persons with human immuno- deficiency virus (HIV) infection has prompted the development of guidelines for the management of those who may have both tuberculous and HIV infections (7). These guidelines include the recommendation that all persons who are known to be infected with HIV, or are at increased risk of HIV infection, receive a tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test with tuberculin units 5 {TU} of purified protein derivative {PPD}-tuberculin). Those persons who have at least a 5 mm reaction to PPD should be considered for 1 year of isoniazid preventive therapy, unless otherwise contraindicated. The Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) in CDC's Center for Prevention Services has considered requests for information regarding screening for anergy among persons infected with HIV who are at increased risk of tuberculous infection but do not react to a tuberculin skin test. Recent reports have suggested that anergy to tuberculin among asymptomatic persons infected with HIV may be more common than initially suspected. Thus, the guidelines presented below are intended for the evaluation and management of persons who may have tuberculous infection and HIV-induced anergy to delayed-type hypersen- sitivity (DTH) skin test antigens, including PPD-tuberculin. These guidelines were developed by DTBE and gratefully acknowledge: Col."

Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail. Anergy Skin Testing and Preventive Therapy for HIV-Infected Persons: Revised Recommendations Summary This report updates and supersedes previous recommendations (MMWR 1991;40 {No. RR-5}:27-33) for the use of anergy skin testing in conjunction with purified protein derivative (PPD)-tuberculin skin testing of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In February 1997, CDC convened a meeting of consultants to discuss current information regarding anergy skin testing, PPD skin testing, and tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy for HIV-infected persons. In formulating these recommendations, CDC considered the results of this meeting, as well as a review of published studies pertaining to PPD and anergy skin testing of persons who are infected with HIV. Isoniazid preventive therapy is effective in reducing the incidence of active TB among persons who have HIV infection and latent TB. Because of the complications associated with TB disease in HIV-infected persons, these persons must be screened for tuberculin infection. HIV-infected persons who have positive reactions to skin testing with PPD tuberculin should be evaluated to exclude active TB and offered preventive therapy with isoniazid if indicated."

Now having my own child, I completely understand and agree with what she was saying. You grieve the fact that a baby does change your life and, especially, you as a person. In this stage you begin to feel overwhelmed and are barely surviving to get from one day to the next. You are in denial because you don’t want to grieve the fact that you had a baby. “ This should be a joyous time, not a time when I cry constantly and think scary thoughts about myself and/or my baby."

How the Test is Performed You will need 2 visits to your doctor's office for this test. At the first visit, the health care provider will clean an area of your skin, usually the inside of your forearm. You will get a small shot (injection) that contains PPD. The needle is gently placed under the top layer of skin, causing a bump (welt) to form. This bump usually goes away in a few hours as the material is absorbed. After 48 to 72 hours, you must return to your provider's office. Your provider will check the area to see if you have had a strong reaction to the test.

"text": "Understanding the PPD skin test and tuberculosis A purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test is a test that determines if you have tuberculosis (TB). TB is a serious infection, usually of the lungs, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria spreads when you breathe in the air exhaled by a person infected with TB. The bacteria can remain inactive in your body for years. When your immune system becomes weakened, TB can become active and produce symptoms such as:feverweight losscoughingnight sweats If TB doesn’t respond to antibiotics, it’s referred to as drug-resistant TB. This is a serious public health problem in many regions of the world, including Southeast Asia and Africa. When TB infects your body, it becomes extra sensitive to certain elements of the bacteria, such as the purified protein derivative. A PPD test checks your body’s current sensitivity. This will tell doctors whether or not you have TB. Risk factors Who should get a PPD skin test?"

"text": "Long Term Care - How to calculate Nursing hours allotted per day per patient/resident (PPD)PPDIf you want more staff for your department, better equipment and higher salaries, you as the Nurse Manager have to show that your department is capable of helping produce revenue and that you are a good steward of the funds you are entrusted with to run your department. Federal Nursing Personnel Staffing Requirements for Long Term Care F353Nursing Services The facility must have sufficient nursing staff to provide nursing and related services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident, as determined by resident assessments and individual plans of care. Intent §483.30To assure that sufficient qualified nursing staff are available on a daily basis to meet residents’ needs for nursing care in a manner and in an environment which promotes each resident’s physical, mental and psychosocial well being, thus enhancing their quality of life. Procedures §483.30§483.30 (a) and (b) are to reviewed during the standard survey whenever quality of care problems have been discovered (see Appendix P, Survey Protocol, Task 4, for further information and Task 5C for the investigative protocol to complete this review). In addition, fully review requirements of nursing services during an extended survey or when a waiver of RN and/or licensed nurse (RN/LPN) staffing has been requested or granted. Except as licensed nursing personnel are specifically required by the regulation (e.g. and RN for 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week), the determination of sufficient staff will be made based on the staff’s ability to provide needed care to residents that enable the to reach their highest practicable physical, mental an psychosocial well being. The ability to meet the requirements of §§483.13, 483.15 (a), 483.20, 483.25 and 483.65 determines sufficiency of nurse staffing.§483.30 (a) Sufficient Staff§483.30 (a) (1) The facility must provide services by sufficient numbers of each of the following types of personnel on 1 24-hour basis to provide nursing care to all residents in accordance with resident care plans: (i) Except when waived under paragraph © of this section, licensed nurses; and (ii) (ii) other nursing personnel.§483.30 (a) (2) Except when waived under paragraph (c) of this section, the facility must designate a licensed nurse to serve as a charge nurse on each tour of duty. For interpretive Guidelines and Probes on §483.30 (a) see tag F354PPD is based on an average acuity level of the whole. This level decides the amount of nursing hours allotted per day in the nursing department. Do you know your PPD?"

"text": "\"Tim Taylor, Startup founder. Product Manager. Management Consultant. Competitive swimmer. Answered May 22, 2016 · Upvoted by Arnab Kumar, works at Deloitte Consulting I saw a PPD compensation deck back in 2013 on the federal side, so things have probably changed a bit, but I imagine the core compensation hasn't changed much. I can't speak to any differences between PPD comp on the federal side vs commercial side, so bear that in mind. Directors start at approximately $300k and go up from there. They are salaried, though, so they don't have the equity upside that principals have. Principals start at approximately $280k and go up from there based on how many units they have, their seniority, and if they're in a management position. Of the handful of PPDs whose general compensation I knew, here's their general comp: Director #1: Just promoted from senior manager, right around $300k Director #2: Had been a director for about 10 years, was somewhere in the vicinity of $550k Principal #1: Had been a principal for 2 years, somewhere around $350k."

Unfortunately today I ran across this really sick guy, had tons of problems I really felt bad for him. As I was going through the PMH he mentioned that when getting processed into prison over the summer he was told that he had TB. Who knows if the guys was active when he has so many other health problems being a TB carrier was low on his list (seriously this guy was hurting). I'm a little freaked out and I'm not looking for online diagnosis, I'm slightly overdue for a yearly PPD anyway and I was gonna make an appointment soon. What I am wondering is how long after exposure a PPD would give a pertinent positive/negative so I can schedule the doc appointment for that time, if its an immunological test it should take some until my immune system is primed I'm just missing the clinical picture of when it is primed.

"text": "Recombinant DNA Technology All organisms on Earth evolved from a common ancestor, so all organisms use DNA as their molecule of heredity. At the chemical level, DNA is the same whether it is taken from a microscopic bacterium or a blue whale. As a result, DNA from different organisms can be “cut and pasted” together, resulting in “recombinant DNA”. The first recombinant DNA molecule was produced in 1972 by Stanford researcher Paul Berg. Berg joined together DNA fragments from two different viruses with the help of particular enzymes: restriction enzymes and ligase. Restriction enzymes (such as Eco R1 in the figure below) are like “molecular scissors” that cut DNA at specific sequences. If the DNA from the different sources is cut with the same restriction enzyme, the cut ends can be joined together and then sealed into a continuous DNA strand by the enzyme ligase. In 1973, the first organism to contain recombinant DNA was engineered by Herb Boyer (UCSF) and Stanley Cohen (Stanford University). Together they introduced an antibiotic resistance gene into E.coli bacteria. Notably, they also produced bacteria that contained genes from the toad Xenopus laevis , which showed DNA from very different species could be spliced together."

If there is any selective advantage for a particular mutation (e.g. antibiotic resistance), the mutant will quickly become the major component of the population due to the rapid growth rate of bacteria. In addition, since bacteria are haploid organisms, even mutations that might normally be recessive will be expressed. Thus, mutations in bacterial populations can pose a problem in the treatment of bacterial infections. Not only are mutations a problem, bacteria have mechanisms by which genes can be transferred to other bacteria. Thus, a mutation arising in one cell can be passed on to other cells. Gene transfer in bacteria is unidirectional from a donor cell to a recipient cell and the donor usually gives only a small part of its DNA to the recipient. Thus, complete zygotes are not formed; rather, partial zygotes (merozygotes) are formed. Bacterial genes are usually transferred to members of the same species but occasionally transfer to other species can also occur. Figure 1 illustrates gene transfers that have been shown to occur between different species of bacteria."

"text": "\"CHAPTER 3ISOLATING AND ANALYZING GENESRecombinant DNA, Polymerase Chain Reaction and Applications to Eukaryotic Gene Structure and Function The first two chapters covered many important aspects of genes, such as how they function in inheritance, how they code for protein (in general terms) and their chemical nature. All this was learned without having a single gene purified. A full understanding of a gene, or the entire set of genes in a genome, requires that they be isolated and then studied intensively. Once a gene is “in hand”, in principal one can determine both its biochemical structures and its function (s) in an organism. One of the goals of biochemistry and molecular genetics is to assign particular functions to individual or composite structures. This chapter covers some of the techniques commonly used to isolate genes and illustrates some of the analyses that can be done on isolated genes. Methods to purify some abundant proteins were developed early in the 20th century, and some of the experiments on the fine structure of the gene (colinearity of gene and protein for trp A and tryptophan synthase) used microbial genetics and proteins sequencing. However, methods to isolate genes were not developed until the 1960’s, and the were applicable to only a few genes. All this changed in the late 1970’s with the development of recombinant DNA technology, or molecular cloning. This technique enabled researchers to isolate any gene from any organism from which one could isolate intact DNA (or RNA)."

"text": "Biotechnology: Useful Notes on Traditional and Modern Biotechnology Article Shared by ADVERTISEMENTS: Biotechnology deals with techniques of using live micro-organisms, plant or animal cells or their components or enzymes from organisms to produce products and processes (services) useful to human beings. The term biotechnology was coined in 1917 by a Hungarian Engineer, Karl Ereky to describe a process for large scale production of pigs. Gene manipulation is a fast emerging science. It started with the development of recombinant DNA molecules. It is named variously as DNA manipulation biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. ADVERTISEMENTS: The technology mostly involves cutting and pasting of desired DNA fragments. It is based on two important discoveries in bacteria: (i) Presence of plasmids in bacteria which can undergo replication along with and independent of chromosomal DNA. ( ii) Restriction endonucleases (Arber, Nathan and Smith 1970; Nobel Prize in 1978) which can break DNA at specific sites. They are appropriately called molecular scissors. Berg (1972) was able to introduce a gene of SV-40 into a bacterium with the help of lambda phage."

For the natural process in cells, see Gene expression. Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a recombinant gene. This includes the transcription of the recombinant DNA to messenger RNA ( m RNA ), the translation of m RNA into polypeptide chains, which are ultimately folded into functional proteins and may be targeted to specific subcellular or extracellular locations. [ 1]Protein production systems (in lab jargon also referred to as 'expression systems') are used in the life sciences, biotechnology, and medicine. Molecular biology research uses numerous proteins and enzymes, many of which are from expression systems; particularly DNA polymerase for PCR, reverse transcriptase for RNA analysis, restriction endonucleases for cloning, and to make proteins that are screened in drug discovery as biological targets or as potential drugs themselves. There are also significant applications for expression systems in industrial fermentation, notably the production of biopharmaceuticals such as human insulin to treat diabetes, and to manufacture enzymes.

This technique makes it possible to take any gene from any specie and place this gene in any other organism or specie. It is similar to cloning because when the foreign gene is incorporated in an organism like bacteria then multiple copies are made through cloning to use the gene in different applications. Applications in Medicine:- Recombinant DNA technology had made it possible to treat different diseases by inserting new genes in place of damaged and diseased genes in the human body. It has brought many revolutionary changes in the field of medicine and introduced such methods of treating diseases and delivering the drug which were just imaginary. Insulin:- Insulin is a hormone mage up of protein. It is secreted in the pancreas by some cells called as islet cells. This hormone is responsible for controlling the glucose level in humans. If a person has decreased amount of insulin in his body, he will suffer from a disease called diabetes. Recombinant DNA technology has allowed the scientists to develop human insulin by using the bacteria as a host cell and it is also available in the market."

A general representation of the method used to produce monoclonal antibodies. [ 1] [2] Monoclonal antibodies ( m Ab or mo Ab) are antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell. Monoclonal antibodies can have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope (the part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody). In contrast, polyclonal antibodies bind to multiple epitopes and are usually made by several different plasma cell (antibody secreting immune cell) lineages. Bispecific monoclonal antibodies can also be engineered, by increasing the therapeutic targets of one single monoclonal antibody to two epitopes. Given almost any substance, it is possible to produce monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to that substance; they can then serve to detect or purify that substance. This has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicine. When used as medications, non-proprietary drug names end in -mab (see \"\" Nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies \"\") and many immunotherapy specialists use the word mab anacronymically."

"text": "\"Genetic Engineering Genetic Engineering Tweet Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. The introduction of new DNA does not require the use of classical genetic methods, however traditional breeding methods are typically used for the propagation of recombinant organisms. An organism that is generated through the introduction of recombinant DNA is considered to be a genetically modified organism. The first organisms genetically engineered were bacteria in 1973 and then mice in 1974. Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. The most common form of genetic engineering involves the insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome. This is accomplished by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence containing the required genetic elements for expression, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Other forms of genetic engineering include gene targeting and knocking out specific genes via engineered nucleases such as zinc finger nucleases or engineered homing endonucleases. Genetic engineering techniques have been applied in numerous fields including research, biotechnology, and medicine."

"text": "\"PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEWABOUT AUTHOR: Muhammad Mujahed M. Sc Biotechnology Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Vishnupuri , Nanded. [email protected] INTRODUCTION: A few decades ago, it was realized that certain proteins could be used as pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of human diseases. e.g. insulin for diabetes mellitus, interferon for viral diseases. However the availability of such therapeutic/ pharmaceutical products was limited due to costly and cumbersome procedures involved in their isolation. Further, their use in humans was associated with several complications. For instance, administration of pig insulin to diabetic patients results in the development of antibodies. The advent of recombinant DNA technology heralded a new chapter for the production of a wide range of therapeutic agents in sufficient quantities for human use. The commercial exploitation of recombinant DNA (r DNA) technology began in late 1970s by biotechnological companies to produce proteins. There are around 400 different proteins being produced by r DNAtechnologyand as of now around 30 have been approved for human use. REFERENCE ID: PHARMATUTOR-ART-1866Recombinant DNA technology involves using microorganisms, macroscopic organisms, or hybrids of tumor cells and leukocytes:to create new pharmaceuticals;to create safer and/or more effective versions of conventionally produced pharmaceuticals; andto produce substances identical to conventionally made pharmaceuticals more cost-effectively than the latter pharmaceuticals are produced."

Biotechnology is synonymous with genetic engineering because the genes of an organism are changed during the process and the DNA of the organism is recombined. Recombinant DNA and biotechnology can be used to form proteins not normally produced in a cell. In addition, bacteria that carry recombinant DNA can be released into the environment to increase the fertility of the soil, serve as an insecticide, or relieve pollution. Tools of biotechnology. The basic process of recombinant DNA technology revolves around the activity of DNA in the synthesis of protein. By intervening in this process, scientists can change the nature of the DNA and of the gene make-up of an organism. By inserting genes into the genome of an organism, the scientist can induce the organism to produce a protein it does not normally produce. The technology of recombinant DNA has been made possible in part by extensive research on microorganisms during the last century. One important microorganism in recombinant DNA research is Escherichia coli (E. coli)."

Common carp {Cyprinus carpio carpio) is the most widely cultivated fish for human consumption mainly in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In contrast, the Koi {Cyprinus carpio koi) subspecies is cultivated as a pet fish for personal pleasure or competitive showing especially in Japan but also worldwide. A virus causing a lethal disease in both common and Koi carp, initially called Koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD), was detected in 1996 in the United Kingdom. The virus was then rapidly identified as the cause of mass mortality among Koi and common carp in Israel, the USA, and Germany. Intensive culture of common carp, Koi shows and international trading have contributed to the rapid global spread of this highly contagious and extremely virulent disease. Since its emergence, KHVD has caused severe financial and economic losses in both Koi and common carp culture industries worldwide. Initial characterization of the virus showed a herpes-like structure with an envelope and an icosahedral electron-dense core of 100-110 nm surrounded by a tegument-like structure. The genome of the virus comprises linear double-stranded DNA (ds DNA) of -295 kb similar to that of Cyprinid herpesvirus 1 (Cy HV-1) but larger than those of Herpesviridae members generally ranging from 125 to 240 kb in size."

"text": "Pregnancy & Parenting Pregnancy At what point should I stop flying during pregnancy?1 following 1 answer Answers Best Answer: You are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month - 36 weeks) and can manage what ever kind of trip (s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child. You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly. Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks), so you should check on that. By the time you reach your eighth month (32 weeks) almost all airlines will require a doctors note. All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks. FAA Airline regulations state : Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor. ("

She is the princess of the Amazons, a race of women who live free of men on Paradise Island (later dubbed Themyscira). After growing up on this island, Wonder Woman (whom the Amazons named Diana) journeys to man’s world on a mission of diplomacy and peace. Until DC's New 52 relaunch, there were a few other aspects of the origin story that remained consistent. Her mother, Hippolyta, created her out of clay, and the Greek gods bestowed her with life, making her the only Amazon who was not conceived by a man. She grows up among the Amazons who teach her the skills of a warrior as well as the lessons of peace and love. When Steve Trevor, an American pilot, crash lands on Paradise Island, the Amazons have a contest to determine who should receive the honor of taking him back to man's world and acting as an ambassador of all that the Amazons represent. In the golden age this led to an infatuation with Steve Trevor that persisted throughout the golden and silver age versions of the character. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, the character’s origin was slightly retold by George Perez. In this version the Amazons were in fact reborn from the souls of abused and murdered women from ancient days."

CT scanning is painless, noninvasive and accurate. It’s also the most reliable imaging technique for determining if the sinuses are obstructed and the best imaging modality for sinusitis. Tell your doctor if there’s a possibility you are pregnant and discuss any recent illnesses, medical conditions, medications you’re taking, and allergies. You will be instructed not to eat or drink anything for a few hours beforehand. This examination does not commonly require contrast material; however, in some situations your doctor may request that contrast material be given. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. These medications must be taken 12 hours prior to your exam.

Is there anything up in those skies that can harm your baby? What happens if you go into labor? Rest assured that flying while you are pregnant is almost always completely safe, so there’s no need to change your travel plans. Who Can Fly There are some restrictions as to just who should and should not travel the skies when they are pregnant. Generally, women who are having a healthy, normal pregnancy are free to come and go as they please. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends women don’t fly after their 36th week of pregnancy. Is Cabin Air Pressure Dangerous For Your Baby? What Do You Need To Know About Flying While Pregnant Airlines have their own flight restrictions for pregnant women, which can vary according to whether you are flying domestically or internationally and which airline you will be flying."

"text": "How many women in “the Airman Database”? Browsing through a newspaper, one would occasionally find headlines such as: “Passenger refuses to fly with female pilot” or “Passenger booted off plane for complaining that captain was a woman.” Notable cases occurred in Belgium in 1991 , in India in 2011, and most recently in Brazil. So who will fly your plane when you travel this summer? To answer this question, we’ve looked at “The Airman Database” – an open database maintained by the USFederal Aviation Administration ( FAA) that collects information about airline pilots worldwide – and we’ve processed one million records, using Rapid Miner, a special data mining tool. Combined with an extension from Nam Sor, this tool can extract and identify the gender of any international name with high accuracy. It can recognize, for example, that Andrea Rossini and Andrea Parker are likely to be respectively male and female names. “The Airman Database”, irrespectively of its title, includes a good number of women. But there is still a long way to parity: women account for approximately 5.44% of airline commercial pilots globally. In the USA, about 5.12% of airline or commercial pilots are women."

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says flying is not harmful during a low-risk pregnancy, but there may be side-effects. If more than 28 weeks pregnant, a woman should take her medical notes and a GP's letter. Many airlines have their own rules on when pregnant women can fly. It is important to discuss any health issues or pregnancy complications with your midwife or doctor before you fly Philippa Marsden , RCOG chair Although everyone who flies is exposed to a slight increase in radiation, there is no evidence that flying causes miscarriage, early labour or a woman's waters to break. Not harmful The changes in air pressure and the decrease in humidity on an aircraft have not been shown to have a harmful effect on pregnancy either. If the pregnancy is straightforward, flying is not harmful to the woman or her baby, the RCOG leaflet says. Previously, the advice for women with multiple pregnancies was that the safest time to fly was before 34 weeks, but this has been changed to 32 weeks to tie in with International Air Transport Association (IATA) recommendations. After 37 weeks, a woman may go into labour at any time. The leaflet gives advice on the side-effects of flying when pregnant."

But that doesn’t mean women don’t fret over it. So three Californian OB/GYNs — tired of getting called at 3 a.m. by frantic pregnant women who had woken up to find themselves sleeping on their backs or who had eaten raw meat and wanted to get their stomachs pumped (yes, those are two real examples) — decided to write a book: The Mommy Docs Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth. Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill and Alane Park also host a TV show called “Deliver Me” on Discovery, and they’ve all gestated children — which gives them at least one advantage over Dr. Spock. We asked them to deconstruct the most common myths about pregnancy, some of which are propagated in extremely popular and well-regarded pregnancy books.

"text": "Question Is it safe to fly during pregnancy? Share Expert Answer The Baby Centre editorial team Our panel of health writers If your pregnancy is straightforward and you're healthy, flying will not cause any harm to you or your baby. The safest time to fly if you're carrying one baby, is before 37 weeks. From 37 weeks of pregnancy you’re considered full term, so there’s a possibility that you could go into labour at any time. For a straightforward twin pregnancy, the safest time to fly is before 32 weeks. Get advice from your doctor if you've had any medical problems during your pregnancy, such as spotting, diabetes or high blood pressure. You should also talk to your GP if you have had a previous early birth. Your second trimester, 14 weeks to 27 weeks, is the easiest time to travel. Morning sickness is hopefully behind you, and your energy levels will be higher. And your bump will be less likely to cause discomfort during the journey."

"text": "Pregnancy & Parenting Pregnancy Can pregnant women ride in airplanes? An older women was telling me that I cannot take a plane from texas to illinois for a wedding since I am pregnant. I will be 14 weeks then.4 following 2 answers Answers Best Answer: You are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month - 36 weeks) and can manage what ever kind of trip (s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child. It is the last four weeks (once you reach the 9th month - 36 weeks) that women are usually prohibited from flying. This is because after 36 weeks, a women can go into labor at any time, and the airplane is not made to handle such situations. For one, there is no guarantee that a doctor will be on board a plane, plus, should any complications arise during the labor and delivery, the plane does not have the medical equipment to handle such situations and it could put the health of the mother and child in danger. You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly. Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks). By the time you reach your eighth month (32 weeks) almost all airlines will require a doctors note."

Traveling during pregnancy is generally safe, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but there are some things expecting mothers should keep in mind before booking a flight. Pregnancy can bring a higher risk of deep-vein thrombosis, a rare condition where blood clots form in the leg and pelvic veins often due to being seated or immobile for long periods. Nonetheless, traveling while pregnant is easy with a little prep. “First and foremost, don’t be afraid to travel. These are some of the last times you will be able to take a truly stress-free trip and it’s important not to fear the experience.

But how healthy are pretzels for you, really? Let's examine the salt, carbohydrate and calorie content of pretzels. Salt Pretzels are typically loaded with high amounts of salt. While salt does not in and of itself contain any calories, it is still very dangerous. High salt intake has been found to be linked to the development of cardiovascular disease, stroke and even some types of cancer. In addition, high salt intake can cause abdominal bloating, swelling and other feelings of general unease. For best results, look for pretzels that are salt free. If you can't find these types of pretzels in your local grocery store, try to scrape off as much salt from the originals as you can."

When losing weight, including pretzels in your diet may help you satisfy your urge to snack and still keep your calories to a minimum. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Dietary Requirements When you lose weight through dieting, you need to determine the number of calories you will get from carbohydrates, proteins and fats before deciding whether pretzels fit into your dietary requirements. If you are focusing on a high-protein diet to lose weight, you will want to limit both soft and hard pretzels, as they contain 79.8 grams and 23.02 grams of carbohydrates, respectively. If you are eating about half your calories from carbohydrates, whole-grain pretzels will help you meet your carbohydrate requirement, and serve as a whole-grain food. Calories A medium, soft pretzel has 389 calories, and a 1-ounce serving of whole-wheat, crunchy pretzels has 103 calories. If you are eating at a 1,600-calorie level, one soft pretzel is 24 percent of your daily caloric intake, while the serving of hard pretzels is just 6 percent. The small size of hard, crunchy pretzels makes it easy to eat more than 1 ounce at a time. Count the number of pretzels you eat, or use a food scale to measure 1 ounce at a time."

"text": "\"Gluten free Soft Pretzels (gum free)April 3, 2015 by Cara 57 Comments I think it’s safe to say that you are completely set up for success this Easter for a fun, creative, allergen-friendly holiday. From pretzels in the shape of bunnies, almonds that want to be baby chicks, super cute cupcakes, and even toast to take over the egg-dying tradition, you have so many choices to choose from when it comes to your style for celebrating. So let’s send you off with a big BANG and do it right with gluten free soft pretzels (gum free) AND in the shape of bunnies. I know, it just doesn’t get any better than this now does it? Gluten free (and vegan) soft pretzels were actually a reader request. I had received an email from a dear woman, Laura, who challenged me (ooooohhhh, you know I love me a good challenge!) to create a tasty soft pretzel that is without gluten and eggs. I thought how fun it would be to have them ready for all of you before Easter so I could replicate this bunny twist technique I found online. Just too cute to not slather each ear with a dab of whole grain mustard…So let’s chat a little about these ingredients, shall we? I am really falling in love with pysllium husk powder for its beautiful, stretchy quality that tends to mimic the role of xanthan gum."

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Refined carbohydrates can increase triglyceride levels; unrefined carbohydrates can lower triglyceride levels. Knowing which carbohydrates are refined and unrefined is important because a high triglyceride level increases the odds of coronary heart disease and premature death. Basics of Carbohydrates Foods consist of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. There are four calories in one gram of carbohydrates and proteins, nine calories in one gram of fat. The difference is important because people who weigh more are more likely to have high triglyceride levels, according to “Controlling Cholesterol. ”Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates like alcohol, honey and sugar have no nutritional value, according to “Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program For Reversing Heart Disease.” Complex carbohydrates, which are also known as starches, are often very nutritious.

"text": "SQL SERVER – Primary Key and Non Clustered Index in Simple Words February 10, 2013 Pinal Dave SQL, SQL Server, SQL Tips and Tricks 39 Comments I have been writing a weekly round up from my blog where I go over last six years of blog posts and pick the best posts from the pasts. While I do this, there are two major place where I focus 1) If there are change in features – I re-blog about it with additional details or 2) If I have not provided complete information six years ago, I try to fill up the gap now. Well, just like everything my knowledge and writing skills have evolved. Before continuing please read my latest memory lane blog post where in 2007 I wrote scripts for Primary Key and Unique Key. November 2006 was when I started to learn more about SQL and have been only 4 months in the product, I was still exploring various subjects. I wrote a blog post describing about how Primary Key and Unique Key are different. Everything which I wrote there is correct, however, there are a few more details one should learn when it is about Primary Key and Clustered Index. Here is the common misconception prevailing in the industry. Primary Key has to be Clustered Index. In reality the statement should be corrected as follows: Primary Key can be Clustered or Non-clustered but it is a common best practice to create a Primary Key as Clustered Index."

"text": "\"After you have created a table for each subject in your database, you must provide Office Access 2007 with the means by which to bring that information back together again when needed. You do this by placing common fields in tables that are related, and by defining table relationships between your tables. You can then create queries, forms, and reports that display information from several tables at once. This article provides step-by-step procedures for creating, editing and deleting a table relationship. You will learn how to enforce referential integrity to prevent the creation of orphan records, how to set the join type to determine which records from each side of a relationships are included in a query result, and how to set the cascade options to keep references synchronized. For more information about table relationships, see the article Guide to table relationships. In this article Create a table relationship Create a table relationship by using the Relationships document tab Create a table relationship by using the Field List pane Edit a table relationship Enforce referential integrity Delete a table relationship Create a table relationship You can create a table relationship in the Relationships window, or by dragging a field on to a datasheet from the Field List pane. When you create a relationship between tables, the common fields are not required to have the same names, although it is often the case that they do. Rather, the common fields must have the same data type. If the primary key field is an Auto Number field, however, the foreign key field can also be a Number field if the Field Size property of both fields is the same."

"text": "\"Business Intelligence > Microsoft SQL Server Certifiably SQL: Data Constraints and Integrity Michael D. Reilly | Oct 23, 1999Downloads7450.zip Tips for SQL Server certification exams This month, I look at another table-centric aspect of a topic from Exam 70-29, the \"\"Implementing a Database on SQL Server 7.0\"\" course exam. The topic is creating tables that enforce data integrity and referential integrity, and implementing constraints. That sentence looks like two topics, but constraints are the preferred way to enforce integrity. In this article, I look at the different types of constraints and when and why you use them. I discuss how to implement constraints, and when you might need to disable them. Constraints and Integrity A constraint is a limitation that you place on the data that users can enter into a column or group of columns. A constraint is part of the table definition; you can implement constraints when you create the table or later. You can remove a constraint from the table without affecting the table or the data, and you can temporarily disable certain constraints. The distinction between column-level and table-level constraints is that you define a column-level constraint on one column only. Therefore, you can define it as part of the column definition."

"text": "Microsoft Access Tables: Primary Key Tips and Techniquesby Luke Chung, FMS President Most databases, whether it's Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle, etc., let you create tables and specify any field or fields as the primary key. Unfortunately, this makes it easy to create primary keys that are not optimal which can cause performance problems and even worse, architectural problems that become expensive to fix later. Background Every table in a relational database should be keyed. Records in a relational database can be sorted and physically stored in any order, but the key field (or fields) define uniqueness for that record. This makes it easy to link this table to data in other tables. The primary key is also important for secondary indexes. Secondary indexes can be one or more fields that are defined to speed up searches by maintaining a pre-sorted list. For instance, a customer table may have a secondary index on Zip Code to allow quicker searches on zip code values. Primary Key Design Tips Here are some tips for creating primary keys."

These are important database objects. This topic contains the following sections. Primary Key Constraints Foreign Key Constraints Related Tasks Primary Key Constraints A table typically has a column or combination of columns that contain values that uniquely identify each row in the table. This column, or columns, is called the primary key (PK) of the table and enforces the entity integrity of the table. Because primary key constraints guarantee unique data, they are frequently defined on an identity column. When you specify a primary key constraint for a table, the Database Engine enforces data uniqueness by automatically creating a unique index for the primary key columns. This index also permits fast access to data when the primary key is used in queries. If a primary key constraint is defined on more than one column, values may be duplicated within one column, but each combination of values from all the columns in the primary key constraint definition must be unique. As shown in the following illustration, the Product ID and Vendor ID columns in the Purchasing."

"text": "\"About Linking Shapes to Dataoffice 365 dev account | Last Updated: 6/12/2017 | 1 Contributor Note Data-connectivity features are available only to licensed users of Microsoft Visio Professional 2013. There are four aspects of data connectivity in Visio: Connecting to a data source Linking shapes to data Displaying linked data graphically Refreshing linked data that has changed in the data source, updating linked shapes, and resolving any subsequent conflicts that may arise Typically, you approach these aspects in the order in which they are listed; that is, you first connect your Visio drawing to a data source, then link shapes in your drawing to data in the data source, display the data in linked shapes graphically, and refresh the linked data when necessary. Each of these aspects has objects and members associated with it in the Visio object model. This topic deals with the second of these aspects, linking shapes in your Visio drawing to data. For more information about the other aspects of data connectivity, see the following topics: About Connecting to Data in Visio About Displaying Data Graphically To connect your Visio drawing to a data source programmatically, you can use the Visio API for data connectivity, which includes the following objects and their associated members: Data Recordsets collection Data Recordset object Data Connection object Data Recordset Changed Event object Data Columns collection Data Column object After you connect your Visio drawing to an external data source, you can link the shapes in the drawing to data from that source programmatically. You can link one or more shapes to a single row of data in a data recordset or to multiple rows of data in different data recordsets. However, you cannot link shapes to multiple rows of data in the same recordset. You can link existing shapes to data, one shape at a time or as a group; or, you can create shapes and link them to data simultaneously. You can specify the correspondence between shapes and data rows, if you know it, or you can let Visio determine the correspondence automatically, based on a comparison between existing shape data and data in the data recordset. After you link shapes to data, you can display that data graphically by adding data graphics to shapes."

Otherwise, My SQL implicitly creates a foreign key index that is named according to the following rules: If defined, the CONSTRAINT symbol value is used. Otherwise, the FOREIGN KEYindex_name value is used. If neither a CONSTRAINT symbol or FOREIGN KEY index_name is defined, the foreign key index name is generated using the name of the referencing foreign key column. Foreign keys definitions are subject to the following conditions: Foreign key relationships involve a parent table that holds the central data values, and a child table with identical values pointing back to its parent. The FOREIGN KEY clause is specified in the child table. The parent and child tables must use the same storage engine. They must not be TEMPORARY tables."

You can also change characteristics such as the storage engine used for the table or the table comment. To use ALTER TABLE, you need ALTER , CREATE, and INSERT privileges for the table. Renaming a table requires ALTER and DROP on the old table, ALTER , CREATE, and INSERT on the new table. Following the table name, specify the alterations to be made. If none are given, ALTER TABLE does nothing. The syntax for many of the permissible alterations is similar to clauses of the CREATE TABLE statement. column_definition clauses use the same syntax for ADD and CHANGE as for CREATE TABLE.

Examples of schema objects are tables and indexes. Schema objects are created and manipulated with SQL. A database user has a password and various database privileges. Each user owns a single schema, which has the same name as the user. The schema contains the data for the user owning the schema. For example, the hr user owns the hr schema, which contains schema objects such as the employees table.

Dropping and re-creating a table invalidates dependent objects of the table, requires you to regrant object privileges on the table, and requires you to re-create the indexes, integrity constraints, and triggers on the table and respecify its storage parameters. Truncating has none of these effects. Removing rows with the TRUNCATE TABLE statement can be faster than removing all rows with the DELETE statement, especially if the table has numerous triggers, indexes, and other dependencies. See Also: DELETE and DROP TABLE for information on other ways of removing data from a table TRUNCATE CLUSTER for information on truncating a cluster Prerequisites To truncate a table, the table must be in your schema or you must have DROP ANY TABLE system privilege. See Also:\"\"Restrictions on Truncating Tables\"\"Syntaxtruncate_table ::=Description of the illustration truncate_table.gif Semantics TABLE Clause Specify the schema and name of the table to be truncated. This table cannot be part of a cluster. If you omit schema, then Oracle Database assumes the table is in your own cluster."

"text": "\"Domain Objects Caching Pattern for . NETAuthor: Iqbal M. Khan Abstract Caching greatly improves application performance because it reduces expensive trips to the database. But, if you want to use caching in your application, you must decide what to cache and where to put your caching code. The answer is simple. Cache your domain objects and put caching code inside your persistence classes. Domain objects are central to any application and represent its core data and business validation rules. And, while domain objects may keep some read-only data, most of the data is transactional and changes frequently. Therefore, you cannot simply keep domain objects as \"\"global variables\"\" for the entirety of your application because the data will change in the database and your domain objects will become stale, thereby causing data integrity problems. You'll have to use a proper caching solution for this. And, your options are ASP."

In fact, when given the proper growing conditions, these vigorous plants will multiply each year, adding stunning colors to the landscape. Blooming often lasts throughout summer and in some areas, they will continue to delight the fall season with their outstanding colors. Most primrose flowers seen in gardens are Polyanthus hybrids, which range in color from white, cream and yellow to orange, red and pink. There are also purple and blue primrose flowers. These perennial plants prefer damp, woodland-like conditions. Growing Primrose Plants Growing primrose is easy, as these plants are quite hardy and adaptable. You can find primrose perennials at most garden centers and nurseries. Look for primroses that are healthy in appearance, preferably with unopened buds."

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Grow Primrose By D. C. Winston; Updated September 21, 2017The primrose plant family, known botanically as primula, is made up of low-growing flowering perennials. Bloom shape, size and color vary, but most flower from mid-spring through mid-summer and are hardy in zones 4a to 8b. Beyond their cold hardiness zone they are grown as annuals. Primrose is commonly planted in beds, borders, containers and window boxes for its fresh green foliage and vibrant blooms. You will also often see it planted en masse in commercial landscaping. Plant your primrose in a partial shade setting with morning sun and afternoon shade being the ideal mix of exposures. Provide a nutrient-rich soil that can hold moisture well without being soggy. Primroses prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil, so if your soil is alkaline, till in a pound or two of peat moss to bring it back towards neutral. Amend planting soil with compost and well-aged manure to boost the nutrient levels if need be. Water your primrose plants at their base under the leaves regularly so that the soil always feels moist to the touch and is never allowed to dry out."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Perennial Resource.com Many plants used in traditional herbal medicine are ones deer avoid, including purple coneflower. By: Julie Martens Forney Related To: Perennials Plants Animals and Wildlife Garden Pests Design a garden that’s unappealing to deer by filling it with deer resistant perennials. This group of plants includes beautiful bloomers, along with eye-catching foliage perennials. Plants that deer dislike typically feature certain attributes that these four-footed munchers find unpalatable. Although deer usually leave these plants alone, no plant is foolproof. If a deer is hungry enough, even deer resistant perennials can be nibbled. In general, deer resistant perennials boast characteristics like a bitter flavor, thorny stems or strong scent. Other plants have prickly or rough leaves. For instance, the fuzzy leaves of lamb’s ears (Stachys byzantina), lady’s mantle (Alchemilla mollis), Dittany of Crete (Origanum dictamnus) and mullein (Verbascum) are ones deer typically leave alone."

"text": "Growing Candytuft: The Candytuft Flower In Your Garden Candytuft By: Becca Badgett, Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden Printer Friendly Version Image by TANAKA Juuyoh By Becca Badgett (Co-author of How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden)The candytuft plant ( Iberis sempervirens) is a European native that has adapted well to most USDA zones. The 12- to 18-inch beauty is a flowering, evergreen perennial with a few must do’s for appropriate candytuft care and continued performance. How to Grow Candytuft Candytuft care involves planting in well draining, alkaline soil in a sunny location as the candytuft plant won’t grow in shade or overly damp soil. Acidic soil may need amendments such as lime to produce the candytuft plant. Growing candytuft is worth the effort as the delicate flowers appear in early spring through summer, often reblooming in fall. The candytuft flower is usually white, but some cultivars have pink or lilac blooms. This plant does well in gravelly soil, making it a perfect small specimen for a sunny rock garden or border planting. Once blooms of the candytuft flower are spent, cut the entire candytuft plant back to ground level to avoid woodiness of the stems. This should be done at least every other year to prevent this short, blooming beauty from becoming too tall with spindly growth. The candytuft plant is actually a woody plant, but is most attractive when treated as an herbaceous perennial."

For certain seeds (like the cranesbill geranium ‘Rozanne,’ above) require alternating freezes and thaws, or “stratification” in order to germinate well. Here is a list of common perennials which need this yin and yang treatment: Aconitum (Monkshood), Alchemilla (Lady’s Mantle), Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily), Asclepias (Milkweed), Astrantia (Masterwort), Baptisia (False Indigo), Buddlejah (Butterfly Bush, pictured above), Caltha (Marsh Marigold), Caryopteris (Bluebeard), Chelone (Turtlehead),Cimicifuga (Bugbane), Clematis, Delphinium, Dodecatheon (Shooting Star), Eremurus (Foxtail Lily), Filipendula (Meadowsweet), Fuchsia,Gentiana (Gentian), Geranium species (Cranesbill Geranium),Goniolimon (German Statice), Helianthemum (Rock Rose), Helianthus (Perennial Sunflower), Heliopsis (False Sunflower)Helleborus (Christmas & Lenten Rose, pictured above), Heucherahybrids (Fancy-leaved Coral Bells), Hibiscus (Hardy Hibiscus),Hypericum (St. John’s-Wort), Iberis (Perennial Candytuft), Incarvillea (Hardy Gloxinia), Kirengeshoma (Waxbells), Knautia (Crimson Scabious), Lathyrus (Perennial Sweet Pea), Lavandula (Lavender),Leontopodium (Edelweiss), Macleaya (Plume Poppy), Mazus (Creeping Mazus), Mertensia (Virginia Bluebells), Myrrhis odorata (Sweet Cicely),Nepeta (Catmint), Oenothera (Evening Primrose), Penstemon (Beard-tongue), Persicaria (Fleeceflower), Phlox (all types), Physalis (Chinese Lantern)Platycodon (Balloon Flower, pictured above), Primula (Primrose, all types),Pulsatilla (Pasque-flower), Ranunculus (Buttercup), Ratibida (Prairie Coneflower), Rudbeckia (Black-eyed Susan, most types),Sanguinaria (Bloodroot), Sanguisorba (Burnet), Saponaria (Soapwort), Saxifraga (Saxifrage), Scabiosa (Pincushion Flower), Sedum (Stonecrop),Sempervivum (Hen-and-Chicks), Sidalcea (Prairie Mallow), Stokesia (Stokes’ Aster), Thalictrum (Meadow-rue), Tiarell a (Foamflower),Tricyrtis (Toad-lily), Trollius (Globeflower), Vernonia (Ironweed),Veronica (Speedwell), Viola species types (Violets). The simplest way to accomplish cold-stratification is to plant seeds in covered containers, and then set them outdoors. This easy program is outlined in my post Winter-Sowing 101. Just be sure to make your plantings sooner rather than later. Don’t wait until the nightly freeze becomes the nightly thaw!I hope the above list is useful to you.

Here’s a definition guide to the three types of plants: Perennial plants Hydrangeas are a popular perennial plant The word perennial means plants which flower reliably every year, usually growing in size each time. The stems die back over winter but the roots don’t, so the plant will regenerate the following year. Most plants in this category fall under the title ‘ herbaceous perennials ’, with the exception of trees and shrubs which don’t die back to ground level over winter. These are sometimes referred to as ‘woody perennials’. Salvia is a kind of perennial plant There is a huge range of perennial plants, and they can be used for a wide variety of planting schemes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Roses, clematis, a thatched roof: a cottage garden in Brittany. The cottage garden is a distinct style that uses informal design, traditional materials, dense plantings, and a mixture of ornamental and edible plants. English in origin, it depends on grace and charm rather than grandeur and formal structure. Homely and functional gardens connected to working-class cottages go back centuries, but their stylized reinvention occurred in 1870s England, as a reaction to the more structured, rigorously maintained estate gardens with their formal designs and mass plantings of greenhouse annuals. The earliest cottage gardens were more practical than today's, with emphasis on vegetables and herbs, fruit trees, perhaps a beehive, and even livestock. Flowers, used to fill spaces, gradually became more dominant. The traditional cottage garden was usually enclosed, perhaps with a rose-bowered gateway. Flowers common to early cottage gardens included traditional florists' flowers such as primroses and violets, along with flowers with household use such as calendula and various herbs. Others were the richly scented old-fashioned roses that bloomed once a year, and simple flowers like daisies. In time, cottage-garden sections were added to some large estate gardens as well."

Subspecies Primula veris subsp. macrocalyx Primula veris ( cowslip, common cowslip, cowslip primrose; syn. Primula officinalis Hill) is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the primrose family Primulaceae. The species is native throughout most of temperate Europe and western Asia, [1] and although absent from more northerly areas including much of northwest Scotland, it reappears in northernmost Sutherland and Orkney and in Scandinavia. [ 2] This species frequently hybridizes with other Primulas such as Primula vulgaris to form false oxlip ( Primula × polyantha) which is often confused with true oxlip ( Primula elatior ), a much rarer plant.

"text": "\"Primroses have been a vibrant addition to the spring, woodland garden and containers for over a century. The name Primula is derived from the Italian word for spring primavera. An explosion of color in every shade of the rainbow, primroses primarily prefer cooler temperatures and therefore bloom early spring through May. Primroses combine fabulously with spring bulbs, evergreen grasses and dusty miller. Some species such as Primula marginata are more diminutive and perfect for rock gardens or trough containers. Other species such as Primula japonica and Primula veris reseed and create naturalized drifts in the shade garden. Primula capita: Candelabra The many types of primroses are divided into three basic categories. Candelabra types (i.e. Primula capita and Primula japonica) show off their flowers in tiered clusters of 6-8 blooms on 1-2 ½ ‘ stems. They are often short lived, prefer damp soil and reseed. Polyanthus types (i.e. Primula vulgaris and Primula veris) bear bunches of flowers on 6-8” stems and bloom winter and/or early spring. This group includes the common primroses sold as color spots."

They most often come in multiple layers of delicate, crepe paper--thin petals, looking like an origami masterwork. Ranunculus ( R. asiaticus) excel in southern and western gardens, and make terrific container plants everywhere. They also make long-lasting cut flowers. Bulbs are widely available in Fall at retail nurseries in mild-winter climates; in Fall and early spring from mail-order catalogs. Ranunculus leaves, grass green and vaguely celery-like, grow in a mound 6 to 12 inches across. Flowers on 12- to 18-inch stems emerge in March from fall-planted bulbs, June and July from spring-planted bulbs; they last up to six weeks. On the most common type, the Tecolote strain, flowers are mostly fully double, 3 to 6 inches wide, and available in bicolored picotee, gold, pastel mix, pink, red, rose, salmon, sunset orange, white, and yellow. The less common Bloomingdale strain is shorter, to 10 inches, with pale orange, pink, red, yellow, and white double flowers. Where and How Ranunculus Grow Best Broadly speaking, ranunculus are frost-hardy cool-season perennials."

"text": "THE SUNPLACE SPECIAL QUILT GARDENPosted on May 31, 2012 | Leave a comment The idea for a quilt garden bed was conceived when four Master Gardener Volunteers (MGVs) went on a road trip to see Elkhart, Indiana’s Quilt Gardens. Charmed and intrigued by their quilt gardens we decided a quilt garden would be a great feature for a children’s garden. While Elkhart’s quilt gardens only include quilts planted with flowers, as the idea grew a floral quilt with a real bed frame seemed a unique idea. The Sunplace Special’s Quilt Garden hopes to attract kids and spark their imagination and interest in gardening through the familiar idea of their own beds and quilts except shown through flowers. One MGV initiated the project by contacting people and seeking approval from the Master Gardener Coordinator and the finance committee. The next step was to select a design that could be rendered easily in the confined area of the bed frame depicted through annual flowers. One of our MGVs (an avid quilter) helped incorporate the design into a quilt template. Another donated and installed the headboard and frame. She also contributed ideas about the finished product. The design is based on the children’s garden name Sunplace Special."

"text": "Cancer in a Can: The Shocking True Story of How Pringles Are Made November 7, 2014 | Health, Health Tips | 0 | admin Most of you reading this article probably enjoy potato chips once in a while. But, it is more than clear that this product is one of the most dangerous and toxic foods on the market -- regardless of the fact whether it is made from potatoes or not. Potato chips are loaded with cancer-causing chemicals Things will start changing at the very moment you face the undeniable fact that Pringles and other stackable chips are not made from potatoes in any recognizable way. In an effort to avoid paying taxes imposed upon chips and other “luxury foods” in the UK, the Pringles Company once explained that the potato content of their product is so low, that practically they are not even potato chips. So, what are we actually buying? The initial phase of the production starts with a slurry of rice, wheat, corn and potato flakes pressed into shape. It is a dough-like materia that is later rolled into an ultra-thin sheet. A machine cuts it into chip-cookies.io9 explains:“The chips move forward on a conveyor belt until they’re pressed onto molds, which give them the curve that makes them fit into one another. Those molds move through boiling oil … Then they’re blown dry, sprayed with powdered flavors, and at last, flipped onto a slower-moving conveyor belt in a way that allows them to stack. From then on, it’s into the cans … and off towards the innocent mouths of the consumers."

"text": "Kellogg's buys Procter & Gamble's Pringles chips for $2.7 billion February 15, 2012 | By Tiffany Hsu This is what potato chip politics looks like: Upset with the internal struggles of Kettle owner Diamond Foods, Pringles is abandoning its would-be buyer and running off with Kellogg Co. instead. Pringles, which is owned by Procter & Gamble and makes stacked potato crisps served out of a long canister, offered itself up to Kellogg’s for nearly $2.7 billion in cash. The deal is expected to close this summer; Kellogg’s said it would welcome Pringles’ 1,700 employees. Two of Procter & Gamble’s manufacturing facilities – in Tennessee and Belgium – are also included in the deal. Pringles, a brand that has been around for more than four decade and pulls in $1.5 billion in annual sales across more than 140 countries, is a strategic bet for Kellogg’s. The Michigan-based food giant is a strong player in the breakfast world, with brands such as Eggo, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes and Raisin Bran. But Pringles will help Kellogg’s, whose portfolio also includes Cheez-It, Pop-Tarts and Apple Jacks, challenge competitors such as Kraft in the snacks arena. Meanwhile, Kellogg’s will offer Pringles a safe haven. Originally, in April, Procter & Gamble said it planned to sell the chips brand for $2.35 billion to Diamond Foods, whose holdings including Kettle chips and Diamond nuts. The Pringles addition would have more than tripled the size of Stockton, Calif.-based Diamond’s snack business."

No matter how many tantalizing treats you may create, the \"\"grazers\"\" at your party, the ones who constantly go between chatting and chewing, are scanning the food table for a treat they can take on the go. The go-to snack that transcends all preferences and tastes? The potato chip. Simple in design and flavor, the plain salted potato chip has been a staple at parties since they were invented. Serving chips is as simple as opening a bag and pouring them into a wide bowl, so the potato chip is perfect for filling up that last-minute empty space on the serving table. And in fact, when they’re eaten at the recommended serving size, the popular junk food isn’t a completely terrible snack to get you through a few hours before a bigger meal. The unfortunate thing about potato chips is that practically no one can have just one, or even just one handful. The addictive qualities in potato chips are not hard to understand. They are greasy, salty, and practically paper thin — so naturally we go back for seconds (or 15ths, but who is counting?)."

My homemade chips soaked up too much oil, making them slightly too 'wet', for the lack of a better word. Commercial chips in general are much drier than my homemade chips, and I presume less oil per chip correlates to less calories per chip.

How thin / thick doesn't really matter, you'll just have to adjust your frying time accordingly.1) Use a starchy potato2) slice your potato evenly, with a peeler if you don't have a slicer or mandolin3) soak them in water for 30 mins with a pinch of salt4) let them dry a bit5) blanch them with vegetable oil until they are limpy but has no visible color change (Oil should be hot enough that when you put them in, 5 seconds later there are bubbles)6) cool them completely, I throw them into a container into the fridge7) refried them by putting in enough pieces in such that it will still bubble immediately (oil should be hot enough when you drop a spot of water or chop sticks in that it bubble immediately, but you wouldn't hear like a crackling or have oil splashing at you)8) Take them out one piece at a time as they change color. The key is vegetable that's pretty much the only oil that makes things cripsy at lower frying temperature, other than bacon fat, this makes a much more golden chip, and generally a easier time to control, so you can make more at the same time. Shortening, olive oil, peanut oil, butter, lard has been tested and isn't really good. Sesame oil is good too if you like the taste of it. Also, don't attempt to drain the oil after blanching, the oil will come out when you re-fry them."

"text": "Obituary: James Pringle, businessman who turned round a failing mill by cashing in on the tourist industry Published: 00:00Tuesday 13 March 2012Share this article Sign Up To Our Daily Newsletter Sign up0Have your say Born: 5 September, 1924 in Brora. Died: 29 February, 2012, in Perth, aged 87. James Pringle took a small family textile business that was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and turned it into a multi-million pound success story by targeting tourists and pioneering the idea of mill shops that sold direct to the public. In his early days on Skye in the 1950s, Pringle visited all the local hotels and guest-houses, persuading them to send visitors to his mill, and he employed a man to meet ferries and hand out leaflets to passengers as they disembarked. He was also instrumental in setting up the Skye tourist board, one of the first in Scotland. The company expanded beyond its original bases in Inverness and Skye. James Pringle, who was always known as Hamish, opened the Clan Tartan Centre in Aviemore, where visitors could research their family tartan and get a print-out, and acquired premises in Edinburgh and Wales. There were mill tours and visitor centres and the philosophy proved so successful that the company ended up buying in most of the items it was selling in its shops. The business was sold to the Edinburgh Woollen Mill when Pringle retired. The name James Pringle has been retained, both as a brand and on several shops, including stores in the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and Glasgow’s Buchanan Street – although there have been several clashes over the years over the use of the name Pringle."

I know what the phrase means, but what is the chip? and why is it on a shoulder? where does it come from?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This is reported as originating with the nineteenth century U. S. practise of spoiling for a fight by carrying a chip of wood on one's shoulder, daring others to knock it off. This has more than the whiff of folk-etymology about it, but in fact it is the actual derivation of this phrase. The two earliest printed citations that refer to chips on shoulders bear this out. Firstly, in 1830 the New York newspaper 'The Long Island Telegraph' printed this: \"\"When two churlish boys were determined to fight, a chip would be placed on the shoulder of one, and the other demanded to knock it off at his peril.\"\" The actual phrase 'chip on his shoulder' appears a little later, in the ' Weekly Oregonian' 1855: Source (s):http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Phrases-a...kahlan nynaeve® · 10 years ago1 0 Comment Chip On Shoulder Meaning Source (s):https://shrink.im/a9e Gileaman · 2 years ago0 0 Comment For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/aycwm This term originated years ago in country schools.

"text": "A Brief History of Pringles December 30, 2009 · by Big History · in Brands Pringles is a famous brand of potato and rice flour snack chip produced and marketed by Procter and Gamble, it is a global manufacturing corporation headquartered in Cincinnati. The Pringles brand is sold in over 140 nations around the world and its revenue is worth over $1 billion per year. Pringles chips are sold primarily in a distinctive aluminum coated can with the brand logo depicting a prominently displayed cartoon character with large bushy mustache. The standard flavors include Original, Sour Cream and Onion, Cheese, Hot and Spicy, Cheese and Onion, BBQ and more recently Prawn Cocktail. Potato chips are a relatively new cooking invention, they were first made in 1853 by an American chef George Speck in New York who had prepared a plate of French fries for a diner who subsequently returned them complaining they were too thick and the worst fries a chef could ever prepare. Speck decided to teach the diner a lesson, he cut the fries too thin to be picked up with a fork and delivered the thin fries to the diner. Happily for us but sadly for George Speck, the diner was delighted and soon the entire restaurant requested George’s new fries. By the turn of the century, restaurants and pretzel companies all over America were selling salted potato chips as a snack food and the mechanical potato peeler was invented in the 1920s. Previously all potato chips had to be peeled by hand. Sales of potato chips nationally only occurred in the 1930s and after the Second World War potato chips were as common available like candy on grocery store shelves."

Some brands of chips, such as those that are popped instead of fried, provide a healthier alternative to traditional chips. You don't need to eat a whole bag of chips to enjoy the taste; eating just a handful prevents you from consuming too many calories. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load A High-Calorie Snack Although the sizes and weights of potato chips vary, 11 to 13 chips typically make up 1 ounce. One ounce of plain, salted potato chips has 154 calories, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. An ounce of plain, unsalted potato chips has 152 calories. Barbecue chips have 137 calories per ounce, while cheese-flavored chips have 141 calories per ounce. Regardless of their flavor, single potato chips typically have about 11 to 14 calories per chip, on average. If you seek a lower-calorie alternative, look for chips that are popped rather than fried.

All of our waist-friendly picks below come in at 140 calories per serving or less and have fewer than 8 grams of fat. For some context, most chips have about 57 percent more fat than that!Whether you’re a fan of potato chips, tortilla chips, sour cream and onion or the BBQ variety, we’ve got something that is sure to hit the spot and keep your salty snack cravings at bay. Stock your snack arsenal with a few of these healthy alternatives and the pounds are sure to melt away!1Lay’s Oven-Baked Original Potato Crisps, 18 chips Calories 120Fat 2 g Saturated Fat 0 g Sodium 135 mg Carbs 23 g Baked chips don’t rely on oil to crisp up, which means they can get by with far less fat. If you eat just one 1-ounce bag a week, you’ll shed more than two pounds this year by choosing Lay’s Baked! instead of Ruffles Reduced Fat.2Popchips Barbeque Potato, 20 chips Calories 120Fat 4 g Saturated Fat 0 g Sodium 200 mg Carbs 18 g Popchips represent the perfect middle ground between the two extremes of the chip world. They have the crunch and character of a fried chip and the calories and fat of a baked one."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Hardware Printers Are printer cables universal? I have a friend who was kind enough to give me an extra printer of his, but it's missing the printer cable. Are they pretty much \"\"one size fits all\"\"? And how much can I expect to pay for one new? BTW, the printer is a Lexmark Jetprinter, if that makes a difference. Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are two fundamental types. We used to have parallel printer cables (25 pin plug one end, centronix the other) and we now have mainly USB. USB A to B cables are universal. Parallel printer cables come in two flavours - uni and bi-directional. From memory I don't think that matters on a Lexmark but don't quote me."

"text": "Technology USB Types: Various Types of USB Cables (A, B and C) and Their Differences Ashish 2 years ago Facebook The different types of USB cable are: USB Type A, USB Type B and USB Type C. These types refer to the physical design of the plugs and ports. There are also two different versions of USB: USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, which refer to the functionality of USB connetors. It has become almost impossible to imagine the modern landscape without electronic devices. Smartphones, tablets, music players, laptops… you name it and chances are that a number of these, if not all, will be present in your household. All these devices have their own uses and therefore, each functions in its own unique way. However, what is the one thing, in one form or the other, that all these devices have in common? USB cables USB or Universal Serial Bus cables are omnipresent in our plugged-in world. Their demand is so high that every year, tens of millions of USB cables are shipped all over the world. And with good reason, considering that almost every electronic device requires a special component (a USB cable) that enables it to connect with a host of other electronic devices. As technology and devices continually advance and evolve, so do the peripheral devices corresponding to them."

"text": "How to Set Up Wireless Printing With the Brother HL2270DWMay 25, 2012 By Matt Two of the most important characteristics of a printer are the quality of its’ printouts and the speed at which each page is printed. Brother’s line of laser printers offers both of these features, all for a relatively lower price than you will find with most other laser printers of this class. The Brother HL2270DW steps up its’ level of convenience even more by offering a wireless feature in addition to the other laser printer benefits. Some people might be intimidated by the prospects of a wireless printer, especially if they have ever encountered difficulty setting up a wireless router, but the wireless setup process for the Brother HL2270DW is very simple. Additionally, once you have been able to set up wireless printing with the Brother HL2270DW on one computer, it is even easier to set the printer up with the rest of the computers in your home or office. Wireless Setup for the Brother HL2270DWThe first thing to clarify when you are performing the wireless setup for this device is that your computer does not need to have wireless capabilities. It simply needs to be connected to a network that has a wireless element. For example, I currently have this printer wirelessly connected to my desktop computer. The desktop computer does not have a wireless network card, but is connected to my wireless router using an ethernet cable. The next point of clarification is that you will need a USB printer cable for the initial wireless setup of this device."

USB Type-AAlso known as USB Standard-A, USB Type-A is the original design for the USB standard with a flat and rectangular shape. On a typical USB cable, the Type A connector, aka the A-male connector, is the end that goes into a host, such as a computer. And on a host, the USB port (or receptacle) where the Type A-male goes into, is called an A-female port. Type-A ports are mostly in host devices, including desktop computers, laptops, game consoles, media players and so on. There are very few peripheral devices that use a Type-A port. USB Type-BTypically, the Type-B connector is the other end of a standard USB cable that plugs into peripheral device (such as a printer, a phone, or an external hard drive)."

"text": "Related Articles1How to Install a USB Printer to a Wireless Router2How to Use a Router to Make a Printer a Wireless Printer3How to Connect Two D-Link Routers4How to Convert a Regular Printer to Wireless Printing It's common to connect a printer to a computer with a USB cable, but this limits printer access to only one computer, unless you take additional steps. If you want to make your printer available to laptop computers on your network, you can use a wireless router. However, if you have a wired-only router or switch, you can still connect using Ethernet cables. Additionally, almost all wireless routers have enough additional Ethernet ports to double as a wired switch. Connect Printer to Wireless Router Not all printers are wireless-capable, but many mid- to high-end printers are now compatible with wireless networks. Each printer has a slightly different configuration process. However, in general, to connect to your network, use your printer's menu to find your wireless network and then enter the network password. With the wireless printer now connected to your network, laptop computers that are also connected to the network can access the printer. Connect Printer to Wired Router To connect a printer to a wired router you will need to connect an Ethernet cable from the back of the router to your printer. After connecting the printer to the router, it will appear as a networked device in your local network."

"text": "\"My New Computer Doesn't Recognize My Old Dell Printerby Elizabeth Mott Related Articles Why Isn't the Lexmark Printer Communicating with My Computer? Why Does My PC Crash When I Turn on My Epson Printer? What Kind of USB Cable Do I Need for My HP Printer? Computer Doesn't Detect Printer Printer Does Not Come Out of Sleep Mode When the Printer Is Turned on the Mouse and Keyboard Stop Working A new computer can represent a sizable expense, but the cost of replacing software and peripheral devices that can't run under a new system's operating system increases the investment substantially. If you try to incorporate an existing Dell printer on a new system and can't seem to get your computer to recognize the old peripheral when you attach it, you may be able to continue using it by troubleshooting the reason it doesn't appear. Driver Software If you try to use the driver software that shipped with your older Dell printer on a new computer with a recent operating system, your computer may be unable to communicate with it. Although some printer driver software can function properly under a newer OS than its manufacturer originally created it to support, some drivers simply don't work beyond a certain point in the roster of OS versions. Other older drivers may function but only offer access to a limited subset of the printer's features. Check the Dell website for a driver update that supports your printer or a pointer to an older driver that works with your new system. Uninstallation Procedure Installing drivers for Dell printers requires a specific task sequence to yield success."

"text": "\"Related Articles1My Laptop Isn't Connecting With My Printer via the USB2What Cable Do I Use for Connecting a Printer?3How to Hook up a Canon Printer to a Dell Laptop4What Port to Choose for a USB Printer? Connecting a printer to your laptop is essential for outputting documents and creating physical copies of your favorite photos. The process of connecting cables isn't a complicated one and in the majority of cases all that is required is a single USB cable running from an available port on the laptop to the printer's USB port. Network printers operate in a slightly different way and don't connect directly to a laptop, but the procedure isn't a difficult or complex one.1. Consult the supplied printer manual to check if a connection can be made before the relevant drivers are installed. For some models, the relevant software should be installed first. If you are unable to locate the manual, in most cases it is safe to connect the printer and run the automatic driver installation process.2. Power on both the laptop and the printer and log in to Windows if necessary. Locate an available USB port on the laptop. USB ports are small, flat and rectangular, with a protruding pin running along the top half.3."

"text": "\"How To ›Internet & Network What is a USB Port? Share Pin Email Print Don Farrall / Getty Imagesby Bradley Mitchell Updated March 21, 2018A USB port is a standard cable connection interface for personal computers and consumer electronics devices. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, an industry standard for short-distance digital data communications. USB ports allow USB devices to be connected to each other with and transfer digital data over USB cables. They can also supply electric power across the cable to devices that need it. Both wired and wireless versions of the USB standard exist, although only the wired version involves USB ports and cables. What Can You Plug Into a USB Port? Many types of consumer electronics support USB interfaces. These types of equipment are most commonly used for computer networking: USB network adapters USB broadband and cellular modems for Internet access USB printers to be shared on a home network For computer-to-computer file transfers without a network, USB drives are also sometimes used to copy files between devices. Using a USB Port Connect two devices directly with one USB cable by plugging each end into a USB port. ("

Getting started Understanding your network type Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the machine at a time. Infrastructure mode This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs (Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to communicate with the wireless machine. Ad hoc mode This mode does not use an access point. The wireless computer and wireless machine communicate directly.

Ask your network administrator about this information before proceeding with the machine installation."

"text": "\"What is a USB cable? USB Cable Overview (Video)The term USB stands for \"\"Universal Serial Bus\"\" . USB cable assemblies are some of the most popular cable types available, used mostly to connect computers to peripheral devices such as cameras, camcorders, printers, scanners, and more. Devices manufactured to the current USB Revision 3.0 specification are backward compatible with version 1.1. View our helpful USB Cable Tutorial Detail of USB Cable Construction The USB cable standard allows for these advantages over serial cable types: USB cables are \"\"Hot Pluggable\"\", in other words you can connect and disconnect the cables while the computer is running without fear of freezing the computer USB cables are fast, transferring up to 480Mbps. Compare that to serial communication which transfers data at about 20Kbps USB cables carry power as well as signals. This allows for \"\"USB powered\"\" gadgets as well as recharging batteries in cameras and other USB peripherals USB cables are designed with several distinct connector types, making it easy to identify which plug goes into the computer and which plug goes into the peripheral device USB cables are a universal standard and are fairly easy to find and to afford USB Cable Connectors Figure 2 (USB Connectors include Type A and B, Mini-B plugs and jacks). As mentioned above, USB cable assemblies are designed with several distinct connector types. The most common types (figure 2) you will see are called Type A and Type B, though you may see \"\"mini-B\"\" connectors with either 4 or 5 pins. The different connector types have an important strategic purpose to them."

It’s possible your system has been infected by a virus, spyware, or other nefarious entity— even if you have an antivirus program installed. Yes, out-of-the-ordinary behavior is sometimes the result of hardware issues, but it’s best to first rule out malware if your PC is acting up. Here’s a step-by-step guide for taking action. Step 1: Enter Safe Mode Before you do anything, you need to disconnect your PC from the internet, and don’t use it until you’re ready to clean your PC. This can help prevent the malware from spreading and/or leaking your private data. If you think your PC may have a malware infection, boot your PC into Microsoft’s Safe Mode.

I don't think it's possible to drive at the maximum speed for the entire charge of the battery. In addition to have a computer-controlled upper limit for speed, there's an upper limit for temperature on the battery -- and when you reach that point, you can only get so much \"\"oomph\"\" out of the motor, no matter how hard you press the pedal. During a You Tube of a P90D on the Nurburgring in Germany, you can see that temperature limitation kick in after 83 seconds (it's the dashed yellow line at the upper right): The car is going 159 km/h, but the Tesla has put in a ~300 k W limit on the motors. That limit is going to drop over the course of the video as things get hotter, until towards the end of the nine minute video, the driver can only get ~120 k W from the battery/motors and the car can only get up to about 155 km/h on a straightaway (despite easily gliding past 220 earlier in the run). So your time that you can run at your maximum speed would be limited by the temperature before it would be limited by the battery life."

While each browser might differ somewhat from their competitors, the major players in the web browsing game all come pre-equipped with a certain set of features. Today I’m going to talk about one such property known as “incognito mode” (also sometimes known as “private browsing”). First of all, what is Incognito mode? Incognito mode is a particular method of surfing the web via a web browser. It allows a user to hide their web activities from other users on a single, shared personal computer by automatically erasing their browsing/search history and by deleting all cookies at the end of each session. Sounds interesting. Why would I want to use it? Many think incognito mode is useful only when it comes to helping users privately search for adult content online. But that couldn’t be further from the truth."

"text": "\"How to Stay in Desktop on Your Windows 8 PCby K. T. Bradford on December 26, 2013in Tips & How-Tos :: 17 comments Windows 8 Desktop screen Windows 8 default welcome screen Windows 8 has two environments: the full screen, touch-centric Windows Store App interface (also called Metro) and the Desktop interface, which looks and acts like Windows 7. If you install programs you used on previous versions of Windows ( XP, Vista or 7), they will open in the Desktop environment. If you prefer this mode to Windows App, it's possible to work only or mainly in the Desktop. With Windows 8.1, you can skip seeing the Start screen altogether. The biggest difference between Desktop apps and Windows Store apps is that the latter tend to be more touch-friendly, while Desktop apps have smaller menus and icons, so it's more comfortable to use a mouse. Also, in Desktop mode each program operates in a distinct window that can be moved around, resized and minimized (again, like Windows 7). Windows Store apps are full screen. You can split the window to see two apps side by side, but you can't tile four or five apps the way you can in Desktop. Both Desktop and Windows Store Apps can be launched from the Start screen. So once you've set up your computer, spend some time using both types of apps."

"text": "The Best Browsers for i Phone Posted by Abhimanyu Ghoshal on Aug 04, 2014 in Featured, i Phone Apps, The Best Share 13 Tweet 28 +1 1051I love how far desktop browsers have come, in terms of the functionality and flexibility they offer users. Between extensions and bookmarklets, I’ve got all my essential functions just a click away, including saving articles to read later, taking a screenshot of the active page, and sharing links via email and social networks. So when I’m browsing pages on my i Phone, I definitely want as much of the same experience as when I’m using Chrome on my PC. When I tried various browsers for this roundup, I looked for a few key features that are important to have on a mobile device with a small screen for browsing: Change user agents or toggle between desktop and mobile versions of sites Private/incognito mode Gestures for various browser functions like back/forward, reload and so on Download management Sharing and saving options for pages and links Reader mode to reduce clutter and display only article content for easy reading If executed well, these essential features can make browsing on your i Phone a delight. We looked for browsers that offered an expansive feature set so as to accommodate as many kinds of users as possible, without feeling clunky or complicated. It’s worth noting that the App Store doesn’t allow browsers that don’t use incorporate Apple’s version of the Open Source Web Kit browser engine to render pages — and I suspect that’s why basic page rendering performance across these browsers was similar. So let’s take you through our picks for the Best Browsers for i Phone, where you’ll find a range of browsers with features that will make your browsing experience easier and more enjoyable. Safari The default browser in i OS only barely made it to our selection because it offers the least features of the lot — but it’s also, well, the default browser and you is available to use as soon as you turn on your i Phone for the first time. It does a good job of handling the bare necessities (multiple tabs, private browsing, clutter-free reader mode and pop-up blocking), and that’s actually enough for folks who only browse pages occasionally. Plus, it’s perhaps the fastest browser you’ll be able to run on your i Phone without jailbreaking it, because it runs the Nitro Java Script engine that isn’t available system-wide."

The Watch Guard family of worn and in-car cameras make it easier to do so, with sophisticated recording and syncing technology that ensures every situation is captured. Few companies that service the law enforcement field have been as successful as Watch Guard. The company headquarters are located in Allen, Texas, and everything is made and assembled onsite. Watch Guard, like many tech firms operating in the law enforcement space, has an impressive amount of brainpower on its staff. That brainpower is dedicated to several fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, embedded software engineering, software development, test engineering and FPGA designing. That has likely played a major part in its rapid growth, which has been recognized on state and national lists as among the fastest-growing private companies in the country.

"text": "\"Tue, 12/10/2013 - 08:54 — Chi-Yu Since I only wanted to charge my new Nexus 5 at work rather than having my phone content exposed to company hardware, I disabled \"\"Media device (MTP)\"\" USB mode there. This is actually easy since there is a shortcut in the notifications which let's you do just that. The tricky part is to turn that back on when you are back home and want to connect your Kit Kat phone to your private computer. The system won't find the phone unless \"\"USB computer connection\"\" on your Android is either set to \"\"Media device (MTP)\"\" or \"\"Camera (PTP)\"\". The notifiction which used to be there in MTP mode is gone so there is no shortcut to get back to that setting. After looking for that setting for ages, going through every possible menu and exploring the deeps of Android 4.4, I was about to give up when I finally found the menu I was looking for, well hidden as a tiny \"\"more options\"\" button within the \"\"Storage\"\" overview screen. Touching that will finally bring you to the \"\"USB computer connection\"\" settings where you can choose either one of the available options to make your phone visible to your computer again. I guess providing a \"\"Select USB connection mode\"\" notification with a shortcut to that screen would have been too easy. Update 25.11.2014: This issue is still present in Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and the solution is still the same. I will never understand why they reworked the user experience but didn't fix this annoying usability problem."

Next up is Preventing the Common Cold with Probiotics? — in which their effect on immune function is explored. Of course, the best way to avoid antibiotic-associated diarrhea is to prevent the need for antibiotics in the first place—by avoiding infection.

These living bacterial microorganisms can also relieve the symptoms of vaginal infections and urinary tract infections, according to Harvard Medical School. Probiotics work when you increase your intake of probiotic supplements or consume foods that contain living bacteria. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Most Common Probiotics Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the most common probiotic bacteria. The Lactobacillus genus has 18 different bacteria strains, while the Bifidobacterium genus consists of eight strains. Lactobacilli inhabit your small intestine, and Bifidobacteria live in your colon. These friendly bacteria, also known as cultures, help the bacteria that already live in your intestines to break down food for healthy digestion. Probiotics may also strengthen your immune system.

During his research he suggested that consuming lactobacillus rich yogurt could alter the aging process. Consequently, he was responsible for the introduction of L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in yogurt throughout the world. While his discovery did aid in the treatment of many intestinal disorders including candida yeast infections, it did not achieve the degree of benefit he had thought it would. The reason for this is l. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus do not repopulate the human intestine since they are not normally found there. However, the study of probiotics and good bacteria for human health was born. Fast forward to 1985 when Professors Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Goldin from Boston were doing research into lactobacillus species and the human digestive system. They were looking for the ideal probiotic candidate that would satisfy Dr. Metchinikoff’s vision. The criteria they set consisted of: It had to be of human origin. It had to be able to attach to the intestinal wall and form colonies."

Antibiotics frequently cause \"\"antibiotic-associated\"\" diarrhea. An allergy, food intolerance and also food-borne illness cause diarrhea as well.

"text": "\"Probiotics are a big and rapidly growing business, with annual global sales of products expected to rise to $42 billion by 2016. The term probiotic refers to dietary supplements (tablets, capsules, powders, lozenges and gums) and foods (such as yogurt and other fermented products) that contain “beneficial” or “friendly” bacteria. The organisms themselves are also called probiotics. They are promoted to improve digestion, strengthen immunity, help in weight loss and even protect against periodontal disease, among other proposed benefits, as well as for general health. Will the friendly bacteria in these supplements and foods keep you healthy? Proponents claim that probiotics (meaning “for life,” as opposed to antibiotics) confer health benefits primarily by rebalancing the normal microflora in the large intestine (colon). There are many general types of bacteria used as probiotics (two common ones are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium ), and many different species as well as strains within species. They have different physiological effects—and thus possibly different health benefits (as well as possible risks). Some yeasts, such as Saccharmyces, can also act as probiotics. Probiotic products may contain a single strain or many strains, and the number of organisms in a daily dose can range from 1 billion to more than 250 billion."

We take antibiotics to kill harmful bacterial infections and use antibacterial soaps and lotions more than ever. The wrong bacteria in the wrong place can cause problems, but the right bacteria in the right place can have benefits. This is where probiotics come in. Probiotics are live microorganisms that may be able to help prevent and treat some illnesses. Promoting a healthy digestive tract and a healthy immune system are their most widely studied benefits at this time. These are also commonly known as friendly, good, or healthy bacteria. Probiotics can be supplied through foods, beverages, and dietary supplements.

"text": "Probiotic Bacteria Prev NEXTIf it seems like you're waiting a lifetime for a bowel movement, then you might want to ask your doctor about probiotics. Mike Kemp/Rubberball Productions/ Getty Images While probiotics have long been popular in Europe and Japan, these friendly bacteria are just now making it to North America in food products and dietary supplements. But it's not just a matter of swallowing random bacteria. The two main types of bacteria considered to be probiotics include strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera (other genera, such as Escherichia, Enterococcus and Saccharomyces have also been designated probiotics, but to a lesser and more questionable extent). Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are made up of different strains, each of which has a different health function. To truly understand the potential benefit to your body, you have to research the difference between Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. In general, though, probiotics are espoused for a variety of ills, everything from constipation to cancer treatment. Scientists believe that probiotics work by repopulating the gut with good bacteria, which can be eliminated along with bad bacteria during a course of antibiotics. Additionally, probiotics are believed to have the power to fight off pathogens and toxins, as well as strengthen the gut fortresses that will eventually have to do battle with the same. How does this hypothesis of how probiotics work translate into a health benefit?"

Wide Selection of Dog Probiotics Help your dog maintain optimal gut health today with probiotics that contain powerful strains of beneficial bacteria that are most effective for promoting balanced gut flora. View Now →Probiotics are typically given to dogs suffering GI tract illnesses, chronic diarrhea or diarrhea associated with antibiotic use. However, probiotics are like “super” vitamins that improve all aspects of a dog’s health, ranging from enhancing immune system functioning to supporting intestinal absorption of nutrients necessary for keeping all dogs fit, happy and disease-free. Do Probiotics Cause Side Effects in Dogs? Any substance that contains ingredients capable of effecting changes with a living organism is going to produce side effects of varying degrees. Some of these side effects won’t manifest themselves enough to be physically experienced because they occur at the cellular level. Other side effects may extend beyond the cellular level in reaction to the dog’s body chemistry, which may be abnormal due to illness, hormonal irregularities or a compromised immune system. Probiotic supplements are complete safe to give to dogs since they contain nothing but natural ingredients, i.e., probiotic bacteria that already exist in the canine GI tract."

In 2015, Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care published a review by T. G. Dinan and J. F. Cryan, discussing bacteria’s role in what’s transmitted between the gut and brain. Digestive enzymes are also important for healing the intestinal walls. Enzymes help the body break down food and absorb needed nutrients. Proper absorption prevents acid reflux, bloating, constipation, cramping, diarrhea, post-meal fatigue, and other gastrointestinal problems. What is the Role Probiotics Have in Healing Leaky Gut?

But, do prebiotics and probiotics live up to the hype? Yes is the short answer. In fact, I recently came across an academic review article delineating several benefits for prebiotics and probiotics in children’s health in a highly respected medical journal 1 and I am more convinced than ever that prebiotics and probiotics are an exciting area of preventive medicine for adults and kids alike. What are Probiotics? What do Probiotics Do? Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria that keep you healthy. Probiotics are living good bacteria that stay alive in your intestine after being consumed. These microscopic organisms work hard to alter the overall intestinal environment to a favorable one by crowding out bad bacteria such as viruses that might otherwise dominate and harm health. Even though they are bacteria, probiotics actually help protect your body from infection."

"text": "From encouraging and protecting healthy digestion & elimination to reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system, probiotics play many essential roles in our overall health. With the growing interest in healthy living and integrative medicine, the use of beneficial bacteria has become a popular topic. And as research continues to reveal the multiple health benefits of probiotics, many healthcare professionals have begun recommending them for their patients. What Are Probiotics? The word probiotics literally means “for life” (from the Latin pro, meaning “for” and the Greek biota, meaning “life”). The official definition of probiotics, adopted in 2002 by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO), is “Live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amount, confer a health benefit on the host.” In simpler terms, probiotics are “good” bacteria. The Bacterial Balancing Act Before we can discuss the benefits of probiotics, it’s important to understand how bacteria work in our bodies. Here are some interesting facts about bacteria:• Bacteria can be found pretty much everywhere.• In humans, these microscopic organisms live on the skin and in mucosa.• An estimated 500 to 1,000 different species of bacteria inhabit the gut and a similar number live on the skin.• The bacterial population in humans is so large that bacterial cells outnumber human cells by 10 to 1. • The vast majority of bacteria in humans can be found in the large intestine.• Approximately 100 trillion of these microorganisms live in a normal, healthy bowel."

Probiotics are now widely used in many countries by consumers and in clinical practice. Given the increasingly widespread use of probiotics, a thorough understanding of their risks and benefits is imperative. In this article we review the safety of probiotics and discuss areas of uncertainty regarding their use. Although probiotics have an excellent overall safety record, they should be used with caution in certain patient groups—particularly neonates born prematurely or with immune deficiency. Because of the paucity of information regarding the mechanisms through which probiotics act, appropriate administrative regimens, and probiotic interactions, further investigation is needed in these areas. Finally, note that the properties of different probiotic species vary and can be strain-specific. Therefore, the effects of one probiotic strain should not be generalized to others without confirmation in separate studies. Careful consideration should be given to these issues before patients are advised to use probiotic supplements in clinical practice."

Probiotics are naturally occurring microorganisms. In most cases they are bacteria and are similar to the friendly bacteria found in the gut or skin. Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium are common probiotics that are found in many foods such as yogurt, unpasteurized milk, fermented soy and yeast, and infant formula. People with eczema have what is believed to be a disorder of cells of the immune system. Probiotics have been used as a treatment for eczema in children. But a Cochrane Collaboration review of 12 studies involving 781 children concluded that there is no evidence that probiotics in supplement form reduce the symptoms of eczema or change its severity. Probiotics for Eczema The 12 studies were conducted between 2003 and 2008. The children ranged in age from 1 month to 13 years, but most of them were under 18 months old and appeared to have an allergy to cow's milk. The probiotic strain used most commonly in the studies was Lactobacillusrhamnosus, either alone or in combination with other probiotic bacteria."

There is increasing awareness that the human gut bacteria play a critical role in maintaining health both within the gastrointestinal tract and throughout the rest of the body through the absorption of metabolites. The prebiotics concept, which was launched in 1995, concerns nondigested and selectively fermented carbohydrate food ingredients. It is thought that their effect in the colon could reduce risk for disease in the rest of the body. One can increase the number of good bacteria in the body in several ways: By taking probiotic supplements (the actual bacteria), eating yoghurt and other foods that have such bacteria, or by ingesting prebiotics which help stimulate the growth of good bacteria that are already in the colon. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), Galactooligosaccharide (GOS), inulin, dietary carbohydrates, and xylooligosaccharide (XOS) are some of the most studied prebiotics in humans. What are they? Prebiotics are food ingredients, mostly complex carbohydrates that are not digested, that stimulate the growth or activity of certain bacteria in the colon. The types of bacteria most often stimulated are bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria. These are considered good bacteria and can provide various health benefits. Br J Nutrition."

Probiotics are available as capsules, liquid, tablets, suppositories and in foods such as live yogurt.

A hypersensitivity reaction similar to an allergy is responsible for eczema. This reaction leads to long-term inflammation of the skin and the symptoms of the condition. Eczema patients often have a family history of allergies and many suffer from hay fever and asthma as well. Eczema is most common in babies and children. Conditions such as colds, dry skin, stress, feeling too hot or too cold and allergies to pollen, mold, animals or dust mites can make eczema symptoms worse."

During his research he suggested that consuming lactobacillus rich yogurt could alter the aging process. Consequently, he was responsible for the introduction of L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in yogurt throughout the world. While his discovery did aid in the treatment of many intestinal disorders including candida yeast infections, it did not achieve the degree of benefit he had thought it would. The reason for this is l. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus do not repopulate the human intestine since they are not normally found there. However, the study of probiotics and good bacteria for human health was born. Fast forward to 1985 when Professors Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Goldin from Boston were doing research into lactobacillus species and the human digestive system. They were looking for the ideal probiotic candidate that would satisfy Dr. Metchinikoff’s vision. The criteria they set consisted of: It had to be of human origin. It had to be able to attach to the intestinal wall and form colonies."

More and more parents are getting educated and waking up to the fact that gut health is the foundation of all health and that if the bad bacteria takes over in your digestive system, you are pretty much screwed. But rest easy, it can be fixed with the right tools and some hard work!In a magic perfect world, pregnant mama would be eating a perfect, nutrient dense diet full of raw, cultured dairy, and fermented drinks and vegetables-both full of probiotics, eating little to no grains and sugar and would have perfect digestion. She would have medium brown poop, that floats, and she would go three times a day after every meal. That she, then in turn, would pass that perfect digestion on to her baby, via the bacteria in amniotic fluid and in her vagina when she gives birth. But the sad reality is that most women have been on the SAD (Standard American Diet) diet for years. They eat lots of grains and sugars that feed the bad bacteria, which also means that not only do not get enough nutrients going in their bodies in the first place, their digestion is so poor they can’t absorb it anyway. And on top of poor diet, they have probably been on birth control for many years and done many rounds of antibiotics, further wiping out the good bacteria in their gut. And then that gets all passed to the baby. The quality of digestion and amount of good bacteria in mom is exactly what is given to baby, for better or worse."

From the sound of it, you might think leaky gut syndrome only affects the digestive system, but in reality it can lead to many other health conditions. According to research, the cause of your food allergies, low energy, joint pain, thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions and slow metabolism could be leaky gut symptoms progression. In this article, I will outline specifically how you can heal leaky gut syndrome and break through the health problems you’ve been struggling with. What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome? Think of the lining of your digestive tract like a net with extremely small holes in it that only allow specific substances to pass through. Your gut lining works as a barrier keeping out bigger particles that can damage your system. When someone has leaky gut (often referred to as increased intestinal permeability ), the “net” in your digestive tract gets damaged, which causes even bigger holes to develop in your net, so things that normally can’t pass through, are now be able to. Some of the things that can now pass through include proteins like gluten, bad bacteria and undigested foods particles. Toxic waste can also leak from the inside of your intestinal wall into your bloodstream causing an immune reaction."

The Diet Connection with Eczema I feel it is important to note that all of the topical remedies in the world didn’t help us until we addressed the underlying problem, specifically: diet and lifestyle factors that were causing/contributing to the eczema to begin with. Just as you can’t out supplement a bad diet in other areas, topical remedies don’t address the underlying problem that is causing the eczema to begin with. Certainly, eczema and other skin issues are complex conditions with a potential variety of causes, but there do seem to be some common things that help (both dietary and other). In our family, our son struggled with eczema off and on for a long time before we were finally able to get rid of it. He was born via c-section (due to placenta previa) and was given antibiotics and steroids as soon as he was born. This led to problems with his gut bacteria, some learning delays and some skin/digestive problems. We started the GAPS program combined with a pretty intensive supplement and lifestyle change for him and finally started to see improvement.

In adults, symptoms are usually recurrent and more severe than in children, and research shows that infants and children can normally overcome eczema within the first several years of life. While dermatologists normally choose to treat eczema symptoms with prescription topical creams and sometimes medications used to kill bacteria or alter immune responses, there are also natural treatments for eczema available. These include applying essential oils, reducing food allergies, making dietary improvements, and avoiding irritating skin care or beauty products. What Is Eczema? Eczema is not one specific condition, but rather a collective term for a group of related skin disorders that cause symptoms like inflammation, redness, dryness and scaling. A diagnoses of eczema can be used to describe any type of dermatitis or “itchy rash .”While about 2 percent to 4 percent of all adults develop eczema, it’s much more common in babies and children, who tend to already have sensitive skin."

"text": "Probiotics And Eczema: How The Bacteria Living In Your Gut Can Help Improve Your Eczemain Eczema Treatment It might seem bizarre on first glance to conceptualize that billions of tiny organisms living inside your digestive tract could influence the itching sensation of an eczema patch on your leg or the redness and oozing of an eruption on your cheek. After reading this article you will understand the complex relationship between gut health, microorganisms (the probiotics) and eczema. You will also be able to select foods and supplements to consume probiotics in the correct forms and amounts. The first clue that gut bacteria could play a role in risk for developing eczema came with the discovery that breastfed babies have a reduced incidence, prolonged onset and decreased severity of eczema. Initially these benefits were attributed to the passage of immune cells called antibodies but research has shown that breastfeeding moms taking probiotics created an even greater eczema protective benefit in their children. Fortunately for eczema sufferers the benefits of probiotics can be achieved long after infancy. What Are Probiotics? Probiotics are bacteria that are native to your digestive tract, which means that they are normally found in a healthy small and large intestine. The population of good bacteria living in your gut can fluctuate depending on diet, antibiotic use and even stress. Most traditional cultures around the world had some forms of probiotic bacteria in their diet."

Learning Objectives Describe the basic structure of a typical prokaryote Key Takeaways Key Points Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus, but have a region in the cell, termed the nucleoid, in which a single chromosomal, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule is located. Archaeal membranes have replaced the fatty acids of bacterial membranes with isoprene; some archaeal membranes are monolayer rather than bilayer. Prokaryotes can be further classified based on the composition of the cell wall in terms of the amount of peptidoglycan present. Gram-positive organisms typically lack the outer membrane found in gram-negative organisms and contain a large amount of peptidoglycan in the cell wall, roughly 90%. Gram-negative bacteria have a relatively thin cell wall composed of a few layers of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria have a relatively thin cell wall composed of a few layers of peptidoglycan.

The size of most prokaryotes is between 1 µm and 10 µm, but can vary in size from 0.2 µm to 750 µm. The prokaryotes are divided into two domains: the bacteria, unicellular microorganisms that have wide range of shapes and ubiquitous in habitat and the archaea, single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms similar to bacteria but possess some genes and several metabolic pathways that are closely related to those of eukaryotes. Exists in different shapes like, coccus, bacillus, spirillum, coccobacillus, and spirochete. While some of the prokaryotes are pleomorphic i.e. do not possess constant shape and some exists as aggregate communities. Fig1. Morphology of prokaryotes Structure and Reproduction of Prokaryotes Prokaryotic cell contains Flagellum, cell wall (absent in Mycoplasma), cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosome, nucleiod, glycocalyx, and inclusion bodies.

"text": "\"Sharon Chu, rookie biologist Answered Jun 17, 2011 · Upvoted by Adriana Heguy Originally Answered: Where did mitochondria come from? To give more evolutionary background to Mike Keesey 's answer: There are a number of theories regarding the beginnings of life--from the question of \"\"first life,\"\" what it looked like, and how it arose, to the first protocell, to the division of eubacteria (what mitochondria seem to be), archaea, and eukarya (cells which contain organelles). A current prevailing theory is as follows:an anaerobic archaeon ate an aerobic bacterium but did not fully digest it. This aerobic bacterium then flourished inside the archaeon, eating up a lot of partially processed food molecules floating around in the cytoplasm using oxygen (hence, the \"\"aerobic\"\" descriptor). The bacterium produced so much energy that there was excess ATP (\"\"energy currency\"\" for cells) released for the archaeon as well, creating an endosymbiotic relationship... and thus, the first eukaryote arose. Eventually, the bacterium lost many of its other functions, becoming more like the mitochondria we know today. ( Chloroplasts probably have a similar origin story. ) This theory is supported by several observations, including: Eukarya genes resemble archaea more than eubacteria, especially in regards to the genes dedicated towards nuclear maintenance and transcription/translation (i.e., the most important ones for maintaining a cell!). There does not seem to be a eukaryote which evolved without mitochondria*, suggesting that the energy boost from having mitochondria was essential in developing other organelles (i.e., you didn't have eukaryotes with nuclei/other organelles before trying to gain mitochondria). * There are eukaryotes which lack a mitochondria, but the presence of mitochondria-derived proteins suggests that they evolved with mitochondria and then lost them afterwards, not that they always lacked one.4.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

"text": "\"Prokaryotic Cell Division Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, propagate by binary fission. For unicellular organisms, cell division is the only method to produce new individuals. In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the outcome of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. In unicellular organisms, daughter cells are individuals. To achieve the outcome of cloned offspring, certain steps are essential. The genomic DNA must be replicated and then allocated into the daughter cells; the cytoplasmic contents must also be divided to give both new cells the machinery to sustain life. In bacterial cells, the genome consists of a single, circular DNA chromosome; therefore, the process of cell division is simplified. Karyokinesis is unnecessary because there is no nucleus and thus no need to direct one copy of the multiple chromosomes into each daughter cell. This type of cell division is called binary (prokaryotic) fission. Binary Fission Due to the relative simplicity of the prokaryotes, the cell division process, called binary fission, is a less complicated and much more rapid process than cell division in eukaryotes."

This article differentiates between the two classes of organisms. Prokaryotes are organisms made up of cells that lack a cell nucleus or any membrane-encased organelles. This means that they have no nucleus. Also, the genetic material i.e. DNA, in prokaryotes is not bound within a nucleus.

Nikola Tesla’s discovery of alternating currents, for example, helped pave the way for widespread access to electricity, and Louis Pasteur’s discovery that heat and disinfectant could kill bacteria improved food safety and saved millions of lives. In 1655, the English scientist Robert Hooke made an observation that would change the study of biology forever. While examining a thin, dried section of cork tree with a crude light microscope, Hooke observed that he could plainly see the cork to be made up of tiny spaces surrounded by walls, much like a honeycomb, but that the spaces were irregular and shallow (Figure 1). Further, Hooke noted that these \"\"little Boxes\"\" were so numerous that there were \"\"in a square Inch above a Million... and in a Cubick Inch, above twelve hundred Millions [sic]\"\" (Hooke, 1655). Figure 1: The cork described in Micrographia by Robert Hooke. In his landmark book Micrographia, Hooke called these spaces \"\"cells\"\" because they resembled the small rooms monks lived in ( cella in Latin). What Hooke’s samples were not able to reveal at the time, though, was that cells are not in fact empty. Though he was diligent in looking at his samples through different magnifications and with various light sources and angles, there were two major obstacles that stood in Hooke’s way of discovering subcellular structures. The first was that the microscope he was using at the time was still too low of a magnification to show that much was contained within the walls of the cells."

Mostly recognized as bacteria, two prokaryotic kingdoms exist: Monera or Bacteria and Archaea. Seemingly simple in structure and markedly different from eukaryote and protist organisms, many scientists believe prokaryotic cells were amongst the first on the Earth and very well may out-survive all other organisms. Cell Theory Prokaryotes are, with few exceptions, unicellular organisms; many bacteria live in colonies, making them appear larger at first glance, but individual cells are visible under a microscope. These cells do not possess membrane-based organelles, but the fundamentals of cell theory still apply. Initially proposed by German scientists Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, and later amended by Rudolf Virchow, four basic rules apply to eukaryotic, prokaryotic and protist cells: All forms of life contain one or more cells All cells come from pre-existing cells All functions that make life possible occur within the boundaries of cells All cells possess genetic material required to regulate cell functions and replicate, passing this genetic information to new cells Scientists have expanded and refined cell theory with the advent of advanced microscopy instruments, but these basic rules still apply to all cells. Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes – Similarities? Prokaryotic cells, like those in eukaryotic uni- and multi- cellular organisms contain ribosomes and DNA – genetic matter that control all cell functions, including replication. All cells require energy to survive and undergo chemical processes to sustain life. Biochemical processes often involve the use of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids for cell functions such as: Obtaining food Turning food into usable energy Cell growth Cell replication Elemental processes essential to the life – acquisition of energy, reproduction – are similar in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, regardless of the difference in structure and means."

A safe welding station Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the U. S.) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals, respectively. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to develop oxygen- acetylene welding in 1903. [ 1] Pure oxygen, instead of air, is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the workpiece material (e.g. steel) in a room environment. A common propane/air flame burns at about 2,250 K (1,980 °C; 3,590 °F), [2] a propane/oxygen flame burns at about 2,526 K (2,253 °C; 4,087 °F), [3] an oxyhydrogen flame burns at 3,073 K (2,800 °C; 5,072 °F), and an acetylene/oxygen flame burns at about 3,773 K (3,500 °C; 6,332 °F).

"text": "\"Propane Tank Hissing Noise - What could it be? Propane tanks will sometimes give an indication of a leak by sound. People will describe this noise as a \"\"hissing\"\" noise coming from the tank getting louder as they get closer. Although product release is occurring in some capacity, it might not necessarily be a propane gas \"\"leak\"\". Some of the situations consumers may encounter with propane tank \"\"hissing\"\" are depicted below. Open Bleeder Valve The fixed liquid level gauge (bleeder valve) is required to be opened by the delivery person every time the tank is filled with propane. On occasion, the delivery driver may not completely close the bleeder valve following the filling process or the bleeder valve opening may have been blocked by a small piece of debris from inside the tank that cleared following the drivers departure. If this is the case, simply turning the bleeder valve clockwise will close the valve and stop the flow of gas. This is not unheard of and is easily remedied by simply closing the bleeder valve. Relief Valve Actuating On hot days when the sun is high overhead and a propane delivery has recently been made, the safety relief valve may open slightly allowing excess pressure to vent."

Above ground propane tanks will generally have the relief valve and liquid withdrawal valve placed outside of the dome usually on opposite ends of the tank. On an underground tank, all fittings and connections are centrally positioned to be protected by the dome walls and cover. For obvious reasons, it's not legal to bury a propane tank designed and designated as an above ground propane tank.

It puts out a dinky little flame and within minutes the whole house smells like propane and I have to open the windows to air it out. I just had the tank filled (100 gallon propane tank) last May and I have only run the fireplace a total of ten minutes. The propane company said it might smell because the tank might be almost empty but is it really possible that the fireplace could use 100 gallons of propane in five months on the pilot light alone? Also, why would it smell if the tank is running low? That doesn't make any sense to me at all. ANy ideas? I had a natural gas fireplace in the apartment my wife and I had prior to our house, and that thing stunk too."

But how many of us cook with a stopwatch? There are a few simple ways of determining how much propane is left in the tank. 1 The bathroom-scale method. A normal-size 20-pound capacity tank weighs 17 to 18 pounds empty, and 34 to 35 pounds after being filled. To determine how much gas is left, weigh the tank and subtract 18 pounds for the tank; multiply this number by 30 to determine approximately how many minutes of grilling time are left. ( weigh the tank -- 18 * 30 = minutes of grilling time are left) 2. The gadget method. A gauge, such as the Gasgard unit shown (above) costs about $20 and will give you a constant readout on how much gas is left, in the tank.3. The seat-of-the-pants method."

"text": "by Noel Case Editor's Note: This article last updated September 21, 2015. While propane is still significantly more popular than natural gas (with a rough percentage split of 65/35 in favor of propane), natural gas is a steadily rising presence in the world of gas grill alternatives. Most gas grills now offer a natural gas option as an alternative to propane. There are many advantages to opting for natural gas over propane, but propane grill purists have their reasons for sticking to the old standby. Advantages of Natural Gas Money in the Bank Getting natural gas installed in your home could potentially rack up a bill. Some services will install natural gas for free if your home is near a natural gas main. If you live far away from a natural gas main, there is a good chance you will have to pay a portion of the costs to have the main extended to your home. Upfront costs therefore could set you back a bit, but over the long haul you could be paying roughly a third for natural gas of what you pay to stay stocked up in propane. Going Green The fact is that natural gas and propane both have a small carbon footprint and are on the low end of the CO2 emissions fuel scale. They contribute less to global warming than any other fuels such as gasoline, kerosene and coal."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A Shell Autogas refuelling station. Autogas is the common name for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) when it is used as a fuel in internal combustion engines in vehicles as well as in stationary applications such as generators. It is a mixture of propane and butane. Autogas is widely used as a \"\"green\"\" fuel, as its use reduces CO 2 exhaust emissions by around 15% compared to petrol. One litre of petrol produces 2.3 kg of CO 2 when burnt, whereas the equivalent amount of autogas (1.33 litre due to lower density of autogas) produces only 1.5 * 1.33 = 2 kg of CO 2 when burnt. [ 1] It has an octane rating (MON/RON) that is between 90 and 110 and an energy content ( higher heating value —HHV) that is between 25.5 megajoules per litre (for pure propane) and 28.7 megajoules per litre (for pure butane) depending upon the actual fuel composition. Autogas is the third most popular automotive fuel in the world, with approximately 16 million of 600 million passenger cars powered using the fuel, representing less than 3% of the total market share. Approximately half of all autogas-fueled passenger vehicles are in the five largest markets (in descending order): Turkey, South Korea, Poland, Italy, and Australia.

If propane use is moderate, simply setting the bottle in a tank of water helps a lot. The liquid propane needs heat to vaporize, and it can get heat out of water a lot more easily than out of air. But if you want to use a lot of propane fast, heating the water is the answer. I use the bottom 3rd of a 200 liter (55 gal US, 50 gal Imp) oil drum, with 3 steel pipe legs welded on, and a burner from a cookstove under it. This solves the problem--can go through a bottle of gas fast, with good pressure. There is a possibility of overheating the water and exploding the bottle, of course. I watch the pressure gauge before the regulator, the one which registers pressure in the tank. Up to 100 psi is safe, they tell me. I've never personally seen it go above a hundred, tho I've heard tales."

"text": "How Do I Check for Propane Leaks? Although propane companies have specialized equipment designed for checking for leaks and their severity, consumers can check for leaks themselves. The process is quite simple while the supplies and ingredients are found in almost every home and consist of just soap and water. Using a solution such as this is safe and will not harm a propane tank or plumbing connections. It's been heard of that people use a match or lighter to check for leaks and nothing could be more unsafe. Soap and water will safely identify and give an indication of the size of the leak. Checking For Gas Leaks Homemade propane leak detector solution can be placed in a spray bottle or other container. Liquid dishwashing soap will produce the most bubbles when mixed with water and is what's most commonly used. If a spray bottle is used, adjust the tip of the sprayer so that a sharp stream is produced by squeezing the bottle's trigger. Don't use a broad misting as this won't adequately cover the connection or seal that's being checked for leaks."

It's usually carried out under local anaesthetic, where you're awake but don't feel any pain, and takes about 15 minutes. In rare cases, you may have a general anaesthetic, where you're asleep during the operation. At a glance: facts about vasectomy A vasectomy is more than 99% effective. It's considered permanent, so once it's done you don't have to think about contraception again. It doesn't affect your sex drive or ability to enjoy sex. You'll still have erections and ejaculate, but your semen won't contain sperm. You'll need to use contraception for at least 8 to 12 weeks after the operation, because sperm will still be in the tubes leading to the penis. Up to 2 semen tests are done after the operation to make sure that all the sperm have gone. Your ball sack (scrotum) may become bruised, swollen or painful – some men have ongoing pain in their testicles."

An abnormally short or sensitive frenulum of the penis can make some types of sexual activity uncomfortable or even painful. This may be a complication of circumcision or a naturally occurring event. When it is a naturally occurring event, a short frenulum can restrict normal retraction of the foreskin during erection (a condition known as frenulum breve ). The goal of treatment is to allow normal retraction of the foreskin. Circumcision may relieve this condition but is not indicated solely for treating frenulum breve. However, circumcision can also lead to an abnormally sensitive frenulum. The procedure usually involves the removal of the frenulum or the creation of an incision in the frenulum that is then stretched to lengthen it and stitched closed. The incision can be z-shaped, y-shaped or a single horizontal cut. Once healed, the procedure effectively elongates the frenulum, allowing normal function."

Vasectomy is the name given to a minor operation that works to blocks sperm from being ejaculated during sex. During the surgery, the tubes that carry the fluid from a man’s testicles to the penis are cut, blocked or sealed. The NHS explains: “This prevents sperm from reaching the seminal fluid (semen), which is ejaculated from the penis during sex. “There will be no sperm in the semen, so a woman's egg can't be fertilised. ”Alamy The conventional vasectomy involves making two 1cm long incisions in the scrotum using a surgical knife What happens during a vasectomy procedure?

It is behind condoms, oral contraceptives for women and tubal sterilization as the most commonly-used contraceptive method. Compared to tubal ligation, which is the other common method of permanent contraception,vasectomy is equally effective in preventing pregnancy, but vasectomy is simpler, faster, safer and less expensive.

Vasectomy has a low risk of problems and can usually be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Before getting a vasectomy you need to be certain you don't want to father a child in the future. Although vasectomy reversals are possible, vasectomy should be considered a permanent form of male birth control. Vasectomy offers no protection from sexually transmitted infections. Why it's done Vasectomy is a safe and effective birth control choice for men who are certain they don't want to father a child in the future. Vasectomy is nearly 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. Vasectomy is an outpatient surgery with a low risk of complications or side effects. The cost of a vasectomy is far less than the cost of female sterilization (tubal ligation) or the long-term cost of birth control medications for women."

"text": "Body A Vasectomy May Increase Prostate Cancer Risk By Nicholas Bakalar July 17, 2014 12:01 am Men with vasectomies may be at an increased risk for the most lethal form of prostate cancer, researchers have found. But aggressive cancer nonetheless remains rare in these patients. Earlier studies had hinted at a connection between vasectomies and prostate cancer. Many experts have dismissed the idea of a link: Men who have vasectomies may receive more medical attention, they said, and therefore may be more likely to receive a diagnosis. The new study, published this month in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, sought to account for that possibility and for other variables. Researchers at Harvard reviewed data on 49,405 men ages 40 to 75, of whom 12,321 had had vasectomies. They found 6,023 cases of prostate cancer among those men from 1986 to 2010. The researchers found no association between a vasectomy and low-grade cancers. But men who had had a vasectomy were about 20 percent more likely to develop lethal prostate cancer, compared with those who had not. The incidence was 19 in 1,000 cases, compared with 16 in 1,000, over the 24-year period."

"text": "Print Overview Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you ejaculate during an orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called oligospermia (ol-ih-go-SPUR-me-uh). A complete absence of sperm is called azoospermia. Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have a low sperm count are still able to father a child. Symptoms The main sign of low sperm count is the inability to conceive a child. There might be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some cases, an underlying problem such as an inherited chromosomal abnormality, a hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm may cause signs and symptoms. Low sperm count symptoms might include: Problems with sexual function — for example, low sex drive or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality When to see a doctor See a doctor if you have been unable to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse or sooner if you have any of the following: Erection or ejaculation problems, low sex drive, or other problems with sexual function Pain, discomfort, a lump or swelling in the testicle area A history of testicle, prostate or sexual problems Groin, testicle, penis or scrotum surgery Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes The production of sperm is a complex process and requires normal functioning of the testicles (testes) as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary glands — organs in your brain that produce hormones that trigger sperm production."

Because large numbers of men are exposed to such a risk for a long period of time, an adverse effect of vasectomy on health could have far-reaching negative consequences for public as well as individual health. Concern about the possibility of long-term risks of vasectomy was fueled by findings that vasectomy may accelerate development of atherosclerosis in monkeys, 1, 2 but it originated in observations that a high proportion of men with vasectomy develop anti-sperm antibodies. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Results of studies conducted over nearly four decades, however, provide little evidence of any significant long-term side effects of vasectomy. Current guidelines from the American Urological Association 11 and the European Association of Urology 12 reflect this in their recommendation for preoperative counselling for men/couples considering vasectomy (see Box 1). Nonetheless, the topic remains of considerable interest with reports of studies on the topic appearing regularly in the scientific literature. Box 1 Vasectomy counselling recommendations related to long-term risks following vasectomy 11, 12EFFECTS ON SEXUALITY AND SEXUAL FUNCTIONAfter vasectomy, male sexual and reproductive physiology remains unaffected, aside from the desired change in fertility. The nerves involved in erectile function and ejaculation are not affected, and vasectomy does not lead to impotence or other sexual difficulties. 13, 14, 15 In a large cohort study, 16, 17 incidence of impotence was 1.9/1000 man-years (MY) of observation in men with vasectomy and 1.7/1000 MY in men without vasectomy, a difference that was not statistically significant. As with female sterilization, vasectomy has sometimes been reported to have a positive effect on sexuality, possibly because the chance of unintended pregnancy has been reduced."

"text": "Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) - Urology Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) Treatment Abroad Overview Transurethral resection of the prostate, more commonly known as TURP, is a procedure that treats moderate to severe prostate enlargement scenarios. An enlarged prostate may also be known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. The prostate is a male gland located beneath the bladder. The male urethra, which offers urine flow from the kidneys to the outside of the body through the penis, is surrounded by the prostate. Prostate enlargement may inhibit the flow of urine outside the body, as well as cause pain and discomfort. TURP procedures are common and are used in about 90% of surgeries treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benefits of the TURP Procedure Men experiencing difficulty or painful urination and chronic enlargement of the prostate gland may benefit from a TURP procedure. In some cases, enlarged prostate glands are precursors of more serious prostate conditions such as cancer. In some cases, a urologist may recommend a TURP procedure to excise tissues to be sent to laboratories to analyze, and for early prostate cancer detection. TURP Procedure Details During the TURP procedure, the surgeon trims excess prostatic tissue from the prostate, helping to relieve pressure on urethra and help relieve difficulty in urination."

Urinary blood that's visible only under a microscope is known as microscopic hematuria and is found when your doctor tests your urine for another condition. Either way, it's important to determine the reason for the bleeding."

The constellation of symptoms in this heterogeneous patient population is as variable as the terms used to describe it. Regardless of the label, this condition can be very frustrating for patients to live with and equally frustrating and challenging for clinicians to manage. Related - How to prevent stone formation in patients with metabolic syndrome The European Urological Association (EAU) uses the generic term “scrotal pain syndrome” to include testicular pain syndrome, post-vasectomy pain syndrome, and epididymal pain syndrome ( Eur Urol2010; 57:35-48 ). EAU guidelines cover the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with these conditions. A multidisciplinary approach including physiotherapy is recommended. While guidelines can be useful to help direct patient care, each patient’s situation needs to be individually tailored, and care should be offered based on symptoms and response to prior therapy."

Over 27 million women used other methods of birth control, and almost 14 million of these were either sterilized or living with a sterilized man. Other widely used methods of birth control included condoms (nearly 6.2 million women), contraceptive injections (1.4 million), withdrawal (1.9 million), and the IUD (2.1 million). 1“The Pill”The Pill consists of one or more types of artificial hormones called estrogens and progestins. It works by inhibiting ovulation and sperm transport and by changing the lining of the inside of a woman’s uterus (called the endometrium) so that implantation of a newly conceived embryo is unlikely. Ethical Concerns: When the Pill works by preventing implantation of a recently conceived embryo, it produces an early abortion. 2Medical side effects: In 2005, the World Health Organization officially classified oral contraceptives as Group I carcinogens (Group I being the most dangerous from Groups I-IV)."

"text": "The vas deferens is a narrow tube of the male reproductive system that carries sperm from the epididymis into the body. There are two of these tubes, each located on the side of each testicle. Each tube is about 11.8 inches (30 cm) long and is composed of smooth muscle. It is designed to propel sperm from the epididymis toward the urethra during ejaculation by contracting the muscles. Sperm are formed in the epididymis, which are connected to the vas deferens. Semen, a fluid designed to carry sperm, is collected on the way from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles through the structure. The tube passes through the prostate, and the semen is then ejaculated through the urethra, a tube that passes through the penis. A vasectomy is a popular form of birth control for men. In an outpatient procedure, typically done in a doctor’s office by a doctor who specializes in urology, local anesthesia is injected, and the vas deferens is accessed through a small incision in the scrotal sac. A small section is then cut from the tube, and the ends are sewn or cauterized closed."

Learning to avoid these food triggers may allow you to self-manage your Crohn's disease, reduce gastrointestinal symptoms, and promote intestinal healing. What is Crohn's disease? Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Both involve an immune reaction against the intestinal tract. In ulcerative colitis, the colon is inflamed and the small intestine works normally. With Crohn's disease, often the small intestine is inflamed, making it hard to digest and absorb key nutrients from food. The lack of sufficient nutrients, along with a poor appetite, can lead to malnutrition for people with Crohn's disease. That malnutrition may result from alterations in taste, reduced food or nutrient intake, lack of sufficient nutrients, poor absorption, or the inflammatory bowel disease process itself.

"text": "\"Contents Overview of Inflammation Role of Nutrition Dietary fats and cholesterol Dietary carbohydrates Dietary proteins and amino acids Micronutrients Dietary phytochemicals Other dietary compounds Lifestyle Factors Authors and Reviewers References Overview of Inflammation Inflammation, the immune response of body tissues to injury or infection, is an important component of innate immunity. The inflammatory process involves a complex biological cascade of molecular and cellular signals that alter physiological responses, ultimately resulting in the familiar clinical symptoms of pain, swelling, heat, and redness (1, 2). At the site of the injury, cells release molecular signals that cause a number of changes in the affected area: vasodilation, increased blood flow, increased vascular permeability, exudation of fluids containing proteins like antibodies, and invasion by several different types of leukocytes, including granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes (3). Neutrophils are the first leukocytes to appear at the injured site. These cells phagocytose and kill invading microorganisms through the release of non-specific toxins, such as superoxide radicals, hypochlorite, and hydroxyl radicals; these reactive oxygen species (ROS) kill pathogens as well as adjacent cells, sick and healthy alike. Neutrophils also provide additional killing activities by releasing antimicrobial peptides and proteins, such as defensins, cathelicidins and iron-binding proteins, into the phagosome (4). Neutrophils also release cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, γ interferon (INF-γ), and others (3, 5). Such pro-inflammatory cytokines in turn induce the liver to synthesize various acute phase reactant proteins and also induce systemic inflammatory responses (e.g., fever and leukocytosis — a rise in the number of white blood cells) (5). Acute inflammation is a normal process that protects and heals the body following physical injury or infection. However, if the agent causing the inflammation persists for a prolonged period of time, the inflammation becomes chronic."

Related to Crohn's disease: ulcerative colitis, colitis Crohn's Disease Definition Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), resulting in swelling anddysfunction of the intestinal tract. Description Crohn's disease involves inflammation of the intestine, especially the small intestine. Inflammation refers to swelling, redness, and loss of normal function. There is evidence that theinflammation is caused by various products of the immune system that attack the body itselfinstead of helpfully attacking a foreign invader (a virus or bacteria, for example). The inflammation of Crohn's disease most commonly affects the last part of the ileum (a section of the smallintestine), and often includes the large intestine (the colon). However, inflammation may alsooccur in other areas of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the mouth, esophagus, or stomach. Crohn's disease differs from ulcerative colitis, the other major type of IBD, in two importantways: The inflammation of Crohn's disease may be discontinuous, meaning that areas of involvement in the intestine may be separated by normal, unaffected segments of intestine. The affected areas are called \"\"regional enteritis,\"\" while the normal areas are called \"\"skipareas. \"\" The inflammation of Crohn's disease affects all the layers of the intestinal wall, whileulcerative colitis affects only the lining of the intestine."

Patients often believe that their disease is caused by, and can be cured by diet. Unfortunately, that seems to be too simplistic an approach, which is not supported by clinical and scientific data. Diet can certainly affect symptoms of these diseases, and may play some role in the underlying inflammatory process, but it appears not to be the major factor in the inflammatory process. Because Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are diseases of the digestive tract, it is only natural that you will have many questions about diet and nutrition if you have been diagnosed with one of these disorders. First of all, you may be surprised to learn that there is no evidence that anything in your diet history caused or contributed to these diseases. Once you develop IBD, however, paying special attention to what you eat may go a long way toward reducing symptoms and promoting healing. The information provided here offers an overall dietary guide for patients and their families. It is based on the results of ongoing studies and the accumulation of knowledge gained in recent years.

"text": "Is Titanium Dioxide in Food Harmful?tweet email 79By: Dr. Michael Greger March 22, 2013About Michael Follow Michael at @ nutrition_facts What increases the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease)? Two potential risk factors are animal protein and nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide. Of all dietary factors, animal protein from meat and fish is most associated with a higher risk of inflammatory bowel disease. As you can see by clicking the above video, the researchers think it may be the blood in meat which is degraded to carbon monoxide, or some of the toxins created by cooking muscle or added to processed meats, or the pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid. Meat may also contain certain bacteria that have been linked to inflammation, but then again maybe it’s the antibiotics in meat mucking with people’s intestinal flora. Whatever the reason, the study concluded that a diet high in animal protein may not only be associated with increased risk of getting inflammatory bowel disease in the first place, but also a higher relapse rate if you already have it. This is consistent with the data I presented last year that even a semi-vegetarian diet was highly effective in preventing flares in Crohn’s disease (see my video Dietary Treatment of Crohn’s Disease ). One potential risk factor that I had never heard of, though, was micro- or nanoparticles. Foodstuffs in developed countries contain increasing quantities of microparticles such as titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is used by the millions of tons as a whitening or brightening pigment to make white-colored paint, but also as an additive to make white-colored food."

The development of antibodies against these drugs may result in unfavorable consequences, including the loss of drug efficacy, hypersensitivity reactions, and other adverse events. Therefore, accurate monitoring of serum drug and anti-drug antibody levels should be an important part of therapy for patients being treated with an antibody-based drug. Current methods for the assessment of anti-drug antibodies and drug levels, involving various bridging ELISA and radioimmunoassay techniques, are limited by their sensitivity, interference, and/or complexity. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a non-radiolabeled homogeneous mobility shift assay (HMSA) to measure the antibodies-to-infliximab (ATI) and IFX levels in serum samples. Full method validation was performed on both the ATI- and IFX-HMSA, and the clinical sample test results were also compared with those obtained from a bridging ELISA method to evaluate the difference in performance between the two assays. Validation of the ATI-HMSA revealed a lower limit of quantitation of 0.012 μg/m L in serum. The linear range of quantitation was 0.029–0.54 μg/m L. The intra- and inter-assay precision was less than 20% of coefficient of variation (CV), and the accuracy (% error) of the assay was less than 20%. In serum samples, ATI as low as 0.036 μg/m L can be measured, even in the presence of 60 μg/m L of IFX in the serum. Sera from 100 healthy subjects were tested to determine the cut point of the assay."

[ 6] [7] [8] It results in a chronic inflammatory disorder, in which the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract possibly directed at microbial antigens. [ 7] [9] While Crohn's is an immune-related disease, it does not appear to be an autoimmune disease (in that the immune system is not being triggered by the body itself). ["

See related patient information handout on living with inflammatory bowel disease, written by the authors of this article. Patients with an inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, have recurrent symptoms with considerable morbidity. Patient involvement and education are necessary components of effective management. Mild disease requires only symptomatic relief and dietary manipulation. Mild to moderate disease can be managed with 5-aminosalicylic acid compounds, including olsalazine and mesalamine. Mesalamine enemas and suppositories are useful in treating proctosigmoiditis."

Therefore, foods can relieve or worsen the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. The first step you need to take when using foods to treat your Crohn’s disease is to identify its food triggers. This article discusses the foods you need to avoid, their healthier substitutes and the foods you need to add to your diet to promote healing of the gut and keep you in remission. There is still an ongoing debate over the role of food in the development and progression of Crohn’s disease. Can foods heal, cause or worsen Crohn’s disease? There is actually no consensus from the body of scientific work done to investigate the question. However, there are solid evidences that indicate that some foods are best for patients with Crohn’s disease while some foods are to be avoided. Perhaps the most revealing study on the effect of diet on Crohn’s disease is the clinical data on the rise of inflammatory bowel disease in Japan. Over the last few decades, the incidence of Crohn’s disease (and ulcerative colitis) has sharply risen in Japan."

Therefore, people with IBD are prone to malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies (Alastair 2011; Mortimore 2010; Campos 2003; Goh 2003). Probiotics. Variation in the population of microorganisms within the digestive tract is capable of altering immune cell function locally and systemically. One study describes a novel probiotic organism that can directly produce interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine that promotes immune tolerance (de Moreno de Leblanc 2011; Lavasani 2010; Chin 2004). Furthermore, ingestion of probiotic bacteria can blunt the effects of pathogenic bacteria via various mechanisms including, competing for epithelial receptor binding, and enhancing the barrier function of the gut (de Moreno de Leblanc 2011; Fedorak 2004; Furrie 2004). Some probiotics also produce butyrate – a short-chain fatty acid important for health of cells within the colon wall (see below) (Sartor 2011). Clinical trials of probiotic use in IBD populations have indicated beneficial effects. Duration of trials and organisms employed has varied, but there have been several instances of positive results (Rogler 2011). A 2011 trial using a probiotic ( Bifidobacterium breve) as well as a prebiotic (galacto-oligosaccharide) demonstrated a marked improvement in clinical status of people with ulcerative colitis (Ishikawa 2011)."

Proteinuria is when protein is found in the urine. The job of the kidneys is to filter out waste, extra fluid, and salt. These wastes leave the body in urine and usually only a small amount of protein is found in urine because most proteins are too big to be filtered through the kidneys. If your doctor finds protein in your child’s urine, it means your child’s kidneys may not be working as they should, possibly because of inflammation (swelling). Sometimes infection or chemicals damage the kidneys, and this makes protein show up in the urine. If your child has an infection, the proteinuria will go away once the infection is treated. Proteinuria doesn’t cause pain. When a lot of protein is in the urine, the level of protein in the blood may go down. This can cause swelling in your child’s eyelids, ankles and legs."

We try to identify crystals, bacteria, yeast, red cells, white cells (indicating infection), something called a cast (which is a clump of sloughed cells from inside the tiny renal filtration tubules), sperm and even the occasional parasite. This lets us know if we are dealing with infection, diet or metabolism disorders, and what part of the urinary system is in trouble. Also, veterinarians—or in human medicine—the lab, looks for crystals, bacteria, and other organisms in the urinary sediment. Each of these elements give hints as to function of the kidneys, kidney tubules, ureters (small tubes that connect the kidneys with the urinary bladder), and the urinary bladder. The first part of a urinalysis is direct visual observation. Normal, fresh urine is pale to dark yellow or amber in color and clear. Normal urine volume is 750 to 2000 ml/24hr. Turbidity or cloudiness may be caused by excessive cellular material or protein in the urine or may develop from crystallization or precipitation of salts upon standing at room temperature or in the refrigerator which is usually of no significance. Clearing of the specimen after addition of a small amount of acid indicates that precipitation of salts is the probable cause of turbidity."

You need to make an appointment to see your veterinarian. 1.2 Make an Appointment As Soon As Possible A dog or cat that strains to urinate (no flow) and then passes a heavy flow of urine may have just passed a stone. You should have you dog or cat examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can find the stone keep it and bring it to the veterinarian for analysis.1.3 This IS an Immediate Emergency – No Time to Wait!If your dog or cat is not able to urinate at all – blockage is complete, this indicates that the urethra is completely plugged. This is a life threatening emergency! You need to get your dog or cat to a veterinary clinic/hospital right away. Complete obstruction of the urethra can: Cause the urine to back-up into the urinary tract and cause kidney failure;Back-up can also cause the bladder to: Stretch to the point of rupturing;Or damage the bladder’s muscle tone thus creating incontinence.2.0 Signs, Symptoms of Bladde r, Kidney Stones2.1 Bladder Stones2.1.1 Visible Symptoms Some dogs and cats will not exhibit any outward signs, others may exhibit one or more of the following: Blood in the urine also called hematuria (caused by crystals inflaming the lining of the bladder);Cloudy or foul smelling urine;Frequent urination;Increased thirst;Excessive licking of the genital area;Fever;Lethargy;Pain when urinating – may cause your dog to cry, yelp;Pain in the lower back or bladder area;Passing only a few drops of urine at a time;Puss in the urine;Restlessness;Straining to urinate, but often not passing any urine;Urinating in places that are not his/her normal place to urinate – noticeable in house-trained dogs;Urine may be tinged red or burgundy in colour;Urine smells like rotting eggs (sulphur) – may indicate a cystine stone;Walking with loins in crouched position.

How the Test is Performed A clean-catch urine sample is needed. The clean-catch method is used to prevent germs from the penis or vagina from getting into a urine sample. To collect your urine, the health care provider may give you a special clean-catch kit that contains a cleansing solution and sterile wipes. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate. After you provide a urine sample, it is sent to the laboratory. There, the laboratory specialist will place the urine sample on special paper and apply an electric current. The various proteins move and form visible bands, which reveal the general amounts of each protein. How to Prepare for the Test Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain medicines that could interfere with the test. Medicines that can affect test results include: Chlorpromazine Corticosteroids Isoniazid Neomycin Phenacemide Salicylates Sulfonamides Tolbutamide Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your health care provider."

An algorithmic approach can be used to differentiate benign causes of proteinuria from rarer, more serious disorders. Benign causes include fever, intense activity or exercise, dehydration, emotional stress and acute illness. More serious causes include glomerulonephritis and multiple myeloma. Alkaline, dilute or concentrated urine; gross hematuria; and the presence of mucus, semen or white blood cells can cause a dipstick urinalysis to be falsely positive for protein. Of the three pathophysiologic mechanisms (glomerular, tubular and overflow) that produce proteinuria, glomerular malfunction is the most common and usually corresponds to a urinary protein excretion of more than 2 g per 24 hours.

Bubbles During Pregnancy During pregnancy, some women experience kidney enlargement. This enlargement can result in urine that bubbles. Furthermore, during pregnancy a woman's kidneys must also filter higher amounts of amino acids."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Normal urinary protein excretion is <150 mg/24 hour, with the majority consisting of secreted proteins such as Tamm-Horsfall protein. Daily albumin excretion in a normal person is <30 mg. Proteinuria can occur in various forms and at different levels of severity. It can be classified on the basis of the amount of protein (nephrotic or non-nephrotic), the type of protein (albuminuria or low molecular weight proteinuria), or the underlying pathological damage (glomerular vs non-glomerular). Most cases of proteinuria can be classified as tubular, overflow, or glomerular. Tubular proteinuria Tubular proteinuria occurs most commonly in disease processes affecting the tubulo-interstitial component of the kidney. It comprises low molecular proteins such as beta-2 microglobulin, which in normal conditions are completely reabsorbed by proximal tubules. The amount of proteinuria is <2 g and dipstick results may be negative. [ 1]Overflow proteinuria Overflow proteinuria is most commonly associated with increased production of abnormal low molecular weight proteins (eg, light chains in multiple myeloma, myoglobin in rhabdomyolysis) that exceeds the reabsorption capacity of the tubules, leading to spilling of the protein into the urine. These low molecular proteins can be toxic to the tubules and can cause acute kidney injury."

Urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) is a test your doctor can use to determine if there’s protein in your urine. It can also help your doctor find out how much of each type of protein is present. Your doctor will usually order a UPEP test if they suspect that you have a condition that causes elevated protein levels in urine, such as multiple myeloma or amyloidosis. Your doctor may also order this test if an earlier test showed there was protein in your urine. In this case, your doctor will use UPEP to monitor any treatment or disease progress.

The protein single alpha helix structure held together by hydrogen bonds was discovered with the aid of X-ray diffraction studies. The X-ray diffraction patterns for DNA show somewhat similar patterns. Introduction In addition, chemical studies by E. Chargaff indicate several important clues about the structure of DNA. In the DNA of all organisms: The concentration of adenine equals that of thymine. The concentration of guanine equals that of cytosine. Chargaff's findings clearly indicate that some type of heterocyclic amine base pairing exists in the DNA structure. X-ray diffraction data shows that a repeating helical pattern occurs every 34 Angstrom units with 10 subunits per turn. Each subunit occupies 3.4 Angstrom units which is the same amount of space occupied by a single nucleotide unit. Using Chargaff's information and the X-ray data in conjunction with building actual molecular models, Watson and Crick developed the double helix as a model for DNA."

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

Watson and Francis Crick, the structure of DNA of all species comprises two helical chains each coiled round the same axis, and each with a pitch of 34 Ångströms (3.4 nanometres) and a radius of 10 Ångströms (1.0 nanometres). According to another study, when measured in a particular solution, the DNA chain measured 22 to 26 Ångströms wide (2.2 to 2.6 nanometres), and one nucleotide unit measured 3.3 Å (0.33 nm) long. Although each individual repeating unit is very small, DNA polymers can be very large molecules containing millions of nucleotides. For instance, the largest human chromosome, chromosome number 1, is approximately 220 million base pairs long. In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a pair of molecules that are held tightly together. These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix. The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix. A base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide.

Supercoiling allows for the compact packing of circular DNA. Circular DNA still exists as a double helix, but is considered a closed molecule because it is connected in a circular form. A superhelix is formed when the double helix is further coiled around an axis and crosses itself. Supercoiling not only allows for a compact form of DNA, but the extent of coiling also affects the DNA’s interactions with other molecules by determining the ability of the double helix to unwind. Although the supercoiling provides an organized way to tightly compact DNA, the structure is relatively unstable as a result of torsional strain. In order to minimize the energy required to maintain the structure, the number of twists and writhes are minimized. Twists refer to the number of turns the double helix makes around the superhelical axis. Writhes refer to the circular distortion, bending, and overall non-planarity of the DNA strand. Supercoiling changes the shape of DNA."

Nana Callie loves to sing · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mt DNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences Four different bases are present in DNA - adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). The particular order of the bases arranged along the sugar - phosphate backbone is called the DNA sequence; the sequence specifies the exact genetic instructions required to create a particular organism with its own unique traits."

THE REPLICATION FACTORYDNA replication is an intricate process requiring the concerted action of many different proteins. The replication proteins are clustered together in particular locations in the cell and may therefore be regarded as a small “Replication Factory” that manufactures DNA copies. The DNA to be copied is fed through the factory, much as a reel of film is fed through a movie projector. The incoming DNA double helix is split into two single strands and each original single strand becomes half of a new DNA double helix. Because each resulting DNA double helix retains one strand of the original DNA, DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. DNA REPLICATION PROTEINSDNA replication requires a variety of proteins. Each protein performs a specific function in the production of the new DNA strands.

DNA is well-suited for biological information storage, since the DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage and the double-stranded structure provides the molecule with a built-in duplicate of the encoded information.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What holds the DNA double helix together??? Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Consider a regular climbing ladder. If the ladder was sawed in half by sawing each rung crosscut thru the middle than each half of the ladder would represent one DNA strand. Each new organism receives a single strand from each of it's parents. The two strands join to make the new organism's double stranded DNA. The rail or sides of the ladder would represent the sugar and phosphate link backbone of the DNA. The sawed rung would represent the nucleic acid bases. The bases are classified as either purines or pyrimidines. The two purines are Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) which are similiar to the compound Purine. The two pyrimidine bases are Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) which are structured similiar to the compound Pyrimidine."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In molecular biology, the term double helix [1] refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids such as DNA. The double helical structure of a nucleic acid complex arises as a consequence of its secondary structure, and is a fundamental component in determining its tertiary structure. The term entered popular culture with the publication in 1968 of The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA,by James Watson The DNA double helix polymer of nucleic acid, held together by nucleotides which base pair together. [ 2] In B-DNA, the most common double helical structure found in nature, the double helix is right-handed with about 10–10.5 base pairs per turn. [ 3] The double helix structure of DNA contains a major groove and minor groove. In B-DNA the major groove is wider than the minor groove. [ 2] Given the difference in widths of the major groove and minor groove, many proteins which bind to B-DNA do so through the wider major groove.

DNA transcription is a process that involves transcribing genetic information from DNA to RNA. The transcribed DNA message, or RNA transcript, is used to produce proteins. DNA is housed within the nucleus of our cells. It controls cellular activity by coding for the production of proteins. The information in DNA is not directly converted into proteins, but must first be copied into RNA. This ensures that the information contained within the DNA does not become tainted. DNA Transcription DNA consists of four nucleotide bases that are paired together to give DNA its double helical shape. These bases are: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G)."

There is 1 pending change awaiting review.navigation search Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as ribosomal RNA (r RNA) genes or transfer RNA (t RNA) genes, the product is a functional RNA. The process of gene expression is used by all known life - eukaryotes (including multicellular organisms), prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and viruses - to generate the macromolecular machinery for life. Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription, RNA splicing, translation, and post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation gives the cell control over structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis and the versatility and adaptability of any organism. Gene regulation may also serve as a substrate for evolutionary change, since control of the timing, location, and amount of gene expression can have a profound effect on the functions (actions) of the gene in a cell or in a multicellular organism. In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which genotype gives rise to the phenotype. The genetic code stored in DNA in form of nucleotide sequence is \"\"interpreted\"\" by gene expression, and the properties of the expression products give rise to the organism's phenotype. [ 1] A molecule which allows the genetic material to be realized as a protein was first hypothesized by François Jacob and Jacques Monod."

"text": "Outline the process of prokaryotic transcription and translation The prokaryotes, which include bacteria and archaea, are mostly single-celled organisms that, by definition, lack membrane-bound nuclei and other organelles. A bacterial chromosome is a covalently closed circle that, unlike eukaryotic chromosomes, is not organized around histone proteins. The central region of the cell in which prokaryotic DNA resides is called the nucleoid. In addition, prokaryotes often have abundant plasmids, which are shorter circular DNA molecules that may only contain one or a few genes. Plasmids can be transferred independently of the bacterial chromosome during cell division and often carry traits such as antibiotic resistance. Because of these unique features, transcription and gene regulation is somewhat different between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic ones. Learning Objectives Understand the basic steps in the transcription of DNA into RNA in prokaryotic cells Understand the basics of prokaryotic translation and how it differs from eukaryotic translation Prokaryotic Transcription Initiation of Transcription in Prokaryotes Prokaryotes do not have membrane-enclosed nuclei. Therefore, the processes of transcription, translation, and m RNA degradation can all occur simultaneously. The intracellular level of a bacterial protein can quickly be amplified by multiple transcription and translation events occurring concurrently on the same DNA template. Prokaryotic transcription often covers more than one gene and produces polycistronic m RNAs that specify more than one protein."

In eukaryotes, TFii H (one of the general transcription factors of the transcription pre-initiation complex) has helicase activity and aids in the formation of the transcription bubble. Erin · 4 years ago0 0 Comment Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, using DNA as a template. Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes. we can describe a gene as having a distinct coding region and a distinct regulatory region, the latter controlling the rate at which DNA is transcribed into m RNA. We will see that the regulatory units are composed of DNA \"\"motifs\"\" and that every motif will need to be occupied by a regulatory protein if a gene is to be regulated properly. Not only must there be the appropriate attachment of the protein, but the proteins all have to fit together with proteins binding to other nearby motifs in the way that jigsaw puzzle pieces fit together. And there is only one correct way for everything to fit together. So, it's not just a simple matter of DNA directing m RNA synthesis, which then directs protein synthesis; proteins are intrinsically involved in the regulation of protein production at the level of transcription."

The production of proteins is completed through two processes: transcription and translation. Transcription and translation take the information in DNA and use it to produce proteins. Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. The RNA molecule is the link between DNA and the production of proteins. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein building machines. DNA → RNA → Protein DNA and RNA are similar molecules and are both built from smaller molecules called nucleotides. Proteins are made from a sequence of amino acids rather than nucleotides.

The RNA molecule can be the final product, or in the case of messenger RNA (m RNA), it can be used in the process of translation to produce proteins. RNA Polymerase is a protein complex that performs the main job of reading a DNA template and synthesizing RNA, but accessory proteins are also needed. Transcription has three major phases: Initiation, elongation and termination. Initiation Just before initiation, RNA polymerase and accessory proteins bind to a DNA molecule upstream of the initiation point. The DNA is unwound to separate and expose the strand to be transcribed. Then, the RNA polymerase complex binds to a promoter sequence, which establishes initiation of transcription. Polymerase begins to synthesize a strand of RNA complementary to one side of the DNA strand, moving into the coding sequence portion of the gene being transcribed. Elongation During elongation, a lengthening RNA molecule is produced by DNA polymerase as it reads the DNA triplet code on the template strand. The polymerase will continue reading the template until it reaches a sequence that provides a signal indicating that transcribed region is at an end."

[ 2] However, it has been proposed that this particular organization is only observed in higher eukaryotes and that it evolved from a bipartite organization with the transition from anamniotes to amniotes. Reflecting the substantial increase in the r DNA intergenic region, an original fibrillar component would have separated into the FC and the DFC [3]. Another structure identified within many nucleoli, (particularly in plants) is a clear area in the center of the structure referred to as a nucleolar vacuole. [ 4] Function and ribosome assembly Nucleoli are formed around specific genetic loci called nucleolar organizing regions (NORs), first described by Barbara Mc Clintock. Because of this non-random organization, the nucleolus is defined as a \"\"genetically determined element.\"\" [ 5] A NOR is composed of tandem repeats of r RNA genes, which can be found in several different chromosomes."

We also describe the steps in the production of m RNA and examine how and why this process differs in bacteria and eukaryotes.

Go to: Both DNA and RNA Chains Are Produced by Copying of Template DNA Strands The regular pairing of bases in the double-helical DNA structure suggested to Watson and Crick a mechanism of DNA synthesis. Their proposal that new strands of DNA are synthesized by copying of parental strands of DNA has proved to be correct. The DNA strand that is copied to form a new strand is called a template. The information in the template is preserved: although the first copy has a complementary sequence, not an identical one, a copy of the copy produces the original (template) sequence again. In the replication of a double-stranded, or duplex, DNA molecule, both original (parental) DNA strands are copied. When copying is finished, the two new duplexes, each consisting of one of the two original strands plus its copy, separate from each other."

Molecular biology was born in the laboratories of microbiologists studying viruses and bacteria. Microbes such as E. coli and its viruses are called model systems because of their use in studies that reveal broad biological principles. Microbiologists provided most of the evidence that genes are made of DNA, and they worked out most of the major steps in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Techniques enabling scientists to manipulate genes and transfer them from one organism to another were developed in microbes. In addition, viruses and bacteria have unique genetic features with implications for understanding the diseases that they cause. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, with cells that are much smaller and more simply organized than those of eukaryotes, such as plants and animals. Viruses are smaller and simpler still, lacking the structure and metabolic machinery of cells. Most viruses are little more than aggregates of nucleic acids and protein—genes in a protein coat.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Introns, derived from the term \"\"intragenic regions\"\", are non-coding sections of DNA. Once a DNA sequence has been transcribed as a hn RNA strand, the introns will be spliced out. The resulting m RNA sequence will then be translated into a protein. A spliceosome is a complex of specialized RNA and protein subunits that removes introns from a transcribed hn RNA (often called pre-m RNA) segment. This process is generally referred to as splicing. An exon is any region of DNA within a gene that is transcribed to the final messenger RNA (m RNA) molecule, rather than being spliced out from the transcribed RNA molecule. Function In many genes, each exon contains part of the open reading frame (ORF) that codes for a specific portion of the complete protein. However, the term exon is often misused to refer only to coding sequences for the final protein.

"text": "\"In the early part of the twentieth century, scientists knew what genes did, but they did not know what they were. Francis Crick, one of the codiscoverers of the three-dimensional double helical structure of DNA, was among the first to propose that a gene was a linear sequence of nucleotides and that each gene encoded a single protein. Crick called this proposal the sequence hypothesis (Crick, 1958); other scientists have since referred to it as the genes-on-a-string hypothesis. In Crick's words, this hypothesis \"\"assumes that the specificity of a piece of nucleic acid is expressed solely by the sequence of its bases, and this sequence is a (simple) code for the amino acid sequence of a particular protein.\"\" Crick freely admitted that his hypothesis was just that: a hypothesis \"\"for which proof is completely lacking.\"\" However, in an effort to rationalize his speculation, Crick cited some experimental work with bacteriophages that had been conducted by American molecular biologist Seymour Benzer. Benzer's work demonstrated that, in Crick's words, \"\"a functional gene consists of many sites arranged strictly in a linear order \"\" (Crick, 1958; italics original). Today, scientists no longer speak of the sequence hypothesis. Instead, the notion that nucleotide sequences (genes) directly dictate amino acid sequences is known as colinearity (Figure 1). Scientists have confirmed that colinearity is a regular occurrence among many viruses, like the ones Benzer studied, as well as among bacteria."

( November 2016)Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of RNA replica. Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA, RNA polymerase in eukaryotes (including humans) comes in three variations, each encoding a different type of gene. A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus that separates the processes of transcription and translation. Eukaryotic transcription occurs within the nucleus where DNA is packaged into nucleosomes and higher order chromatin structures. The complexity of the eukaryotic genome necessitates a great variety and complexity of gene expression control.

One solution my be to prune the roots by cutting around the plant with a spade or moving the plant. This will check foliage growth and encourage production of flower buds. Application of nitrogen rich fertilizers are the main cause of vigor which suppresses flower bud production. Deadheading flowers as soon as they wilt can promote flower bud production."

"text": "Prunes for Constipation Last Updated: April 4, 2018Regardless of age, constipation is one of the common gastrointestinal problems faced by many people. Constipation occurs when it is difficult and painful to defecate the stools. This happens when the colon absorbs the water from the stools when it stays in the intestines for a long time. The main reasons for constipation are dehydration, lack of fiber in diet and lack of physical activity. Home remedies like prunes, olive oil and castor oil are the safe and effective laxatives to treat constipation. In this article, let’s have a look at how prunes are effective…Why is Prune Effective in Treating Constipation? Soluble Fiber: Soluble fiber improves the digestive system by stimulating a wave movement of intestinal muscles (peristalsis) which moves the food through digestive system. It breaks down the blockages causing constipation by absorbing the water. It also helps in proper absorption of nutrients. Non-soluble Fiber: Non-soluble fiber is not digestible and pass through the body without harming."

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

These trees grow in full sunlight or shade and have pretty foliage all around the year. Hemlock trees grow quickly and are easy to transplant. Pruning increases the energy and growth of shrubs and trees. It helps in eradicating any diseased, dead or undesirable branch of the woody trees or shrubs. While pruning you can also remove weak crotches, too many fruits or flowers, crossing branches etc. Hemlock trees make fantastic hedges, but often grow taller and get away. Pruning hemlock trees is essential as it helps in giving them a proper shape and size. Hemlocks are generally planted for evergreen hedges. They are easy to shape in hedges as they grow more strongly than other narrow leaf evergreen trees."

In their native tropical habitat, coffee plants grow up to 15 feet or more, so pruning a coffee plant is integral when growing them indoors. Information on Coffee Plants Before we explore how to prune a coffee plant, a little background on Coffea arabica is in order. A member of the Ruiaceae family, one of 90 in the genus Coffea, coffee plant is an evergreen, perennial shrub with dark green, glossy leaves decorated with ruffled edges and pleasantly aromatic white blossoms. Grow this specimen as an attractive houseplant, or if you aren’t shy on patience, for its fruit, which will take about four years to produce anything approximating a decent cup of coffee. Hailing from Southern Asia and tropical regions of Africa, temperatures should be kept at 70 F. (21 C.) or higher during daylight hours and in the mid to lower 60’s (15-20 C.) at night with a good dose of humidity. Make sure the plant has well-draining soil, filtered sun and moderate (never soggy) irrigation. Although coffee plants will produce fruit without fertilization, for the most optimal fruiting and quality, they should be fed every two weeks from March to October and thereafter each month. A soluble, all purpose type of fertilizer is recommended for use. Coffee plants can be obtained through most online nurseries."

Hedges and other bushes that need to be kept in a distinct shape for privacy or because you've lovingly shaped it to look like a giant bunny, need to be pruned throughout the summer to stay manicured. Other bushes, whether they are part of informal hedges or specimen plantings, requiring pruning in the summer if their health is at stake, but otherwise need to be pruned based on when they flower. Damaged Wood If you note damage to your bushes, from weather, animals or due to disease, prune those branches immediately, even if the bush should not optimally be pruned in the summer. Dead or dying wood can be an entry point for disease or insects to damage the rest of the bush. Wash the blades of pruning shears with a solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water to ensure that disease does not spread from one branch to another on the shears. Spring-flowering Bushes Determining when the bush flowers informs a successful pruning strategy and whether summer pruning is harmful. Some bushes, such as the forsythia (Forsythia), grown in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 9, bloom early in the spring, flowering on buds that formed the previous summer. To avoid removing the buds that will flower the following year, prune these early-flowering shrubs as soon as flowers fade, which may be in early summer, but should be no later. Pruning in the mid- to late-summer negatively affects the flowers the following spring."

The most common type of basil is sweet basil; other types include purple basil (less sweet than common basil), lemon basil (lemon flavor), and Thai basil (licorice flavor). Basil is easy to grow but it only grows outdoors in the summer—and only once the soil has warmed up nicely—so plan accordingly. If you’re planning on making pesto, grow several plants. Otherwise one or two basil plants yields plenty. Planting To get a head start, start the seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last spring frost.

Scotch Plains, NJ I planted an October Glory Maple tree this past spring. Is there anything that I should do to protect the tree for the winter? Answer: First, I would recommend using tree wrap. Maples and other thin barked trees have a greater potential to form cracks on their southern exposure during any rapid change in bark temperature. These harmful cracks often occur in the winter when the sun is more intense in the morning after a cold night. These cracks can be the entry points for disease and insect problems that can cause further harm to the tree. You can prevent these cracks by using a light colored tree wrap that is available at most garden supply stores. Wrap the trees from the ground up to the first primary limb. Some gardeners will even wrap beyond this point while the tree is still young. Apply the tree wrap so that you overlap on the previous wrap and secure the top with string to hold in place."

Proper timing helps insure attractive, healthy, productive plants. The proper times to prune various woody plants in the yard and garden are indicated below. Deciduous Shrubs --Many deciduous shrubs are planted in the home landscape for their attractive flowers. Spring-flowering shrubs bloom in the spring on the growth of the previous season. Two widely planted examples are lilac and forsythia. The proper time to prune spring-flowering shrubs is determined by their condition. Old, neglected spring-flowering shrubs often require extensive pruning to rejuvenate or renew the plants. The best time to rejuvenate large, overgrown shrubs is late winter or early spring (March or early April). While heavy pruning in late winter or early spring will reduce or eliminate the flower display for a few years, the long term health of the shrubs is more important."

Noxious weeds In NSW, the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 prohibits the planting or growing of ‘noxious’ plants and requires occupiers to control noxious weeds on their land. Local councils are responsible for the control of noxious weeds in their area and may issue a ‘weed control notice’, requiring an occupier to carry out weed control. Apart from noxious weeds, you do not need council approval to plant a tree or plant on your land. However, as trees can block drains, damage buildings and obstruct views, you may wish to consider your choice of tree and its location carefully.

If your plant produces big pink or blue flowers, it is a Hydrangea macrophylla. If its flowers are round and white—or pink in the case of the new Invincibelle Spirit—the plant is a Hydrangea arborescens. Finally, if the plant has large, conical flowers, which are often white but may also be green or pink, you own a Hydrangea paniculata. ”Bigleaf Hydrangeas If you have Hydrangea macrophylla, also known as Bigleaf Hydrangea, Wood says you can relax.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: List of horse breeds, selective breeding, and horse breeding A horse breed is a selectively bred population of domesticated horses, often with pedigrees recorded in a breed registry. However, the term is sometimes used in a very broad sense to define landrace animals, or naturally selected horses of a common phenotype located within a limited geographic region. Depending on definition, hundreds of \"\"breeds\"\" exist today, developed for many different uses. Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited \"\"hot bloods\"\" with speed and endurance; \"\"cold bloods,\"\" such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and \"\" warmbloods ,\"\" developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe. Horse breeds are groups of horses with distinctive characteristics that are transmitted consistently to their offspring, such as conformation, color, performance ability, or disposition. These inherited traits are usually the result of a combination of natural crosses and artificial selection methods aimed at producing horses for specific tasks. Certain breeds are known for certain talents. For example, Standardbreds are known for their speed in harness racing. Some breeds have been developed through centuries of crossings with other breeds, while others, such as Tennessee Walking Horses and Morgans, developed from a single sire from which all current breed members descend. There are more than 300 horse breeds in the world today. ["

"text": "\"Mustang Wild / Feral Horse (Equus caballus)Wild mustang horses that abound today in North America's western plains and deserts, and wild horses on a few east coast barrier islands and in Australia are actually feral horses. Wild horses are sometimes mangy-looking critters, with unkempt manes and tails, burs, scars, and encrusted dust and dirt. Feral horses of the Southwest are not recognized by most horse-registry organizations that certify desirable traits and characteristics of a particular breed, and are considered to be little more than 'buzzard bait' by many. But wild horses are not all that different from other horses; they are just not trained or domestic. Feral horses are descendants of domestic stock who either escaped, were abandoned, or released into the wild. But the wild horse is an animal enmeshed in controversy. Decisions about their management and protection are cloaked in myth and emotion that have to do with Native Americans, pioneers, and the 'Old West\"\"; therefore their disposition has been contentious for nearly half a century. The wild mustangs that are found in the United States are not the first herds to roam the land. Ancient horses were endemic to North America. Their fossil record shows the evolution and indicates that they spread to Eurasia via the Bering land bridge."

But should this really be the case? That thoughtful gorilla should be bestriding the mountainous forest of central Africa. Should animals really be kept in captivity, merely for our entertainment? That may be how zoos started; as places to show off the exotic creatures that explorers had caught and brought back from a far off land, but not so anymore. Any zoo worth going to, i.e. those signed up to the principals laid down by organizations like EAZA ( European Association of Zoos and Aquaria ), is concerned with the animals' welfare. They are keen to educate their visitors and will invest a proportion of their outgoings (most are charitable now and not run for profit as they used to be) on preserving the habitat of animals in the native land and where populations are severely depleted. Captive breeding programs should even be able to boost the wild population as has been the case for species like Przewalski's wild horse, the black-footed ferret and the California Condor even if these success stories are exceptional, but just as many species fail to be reintroduced to the wild for a multitude of reasons."

The distribution is one common difference as zebras are exclusive to Africa but horses do not range in only one place of the Earth. Apart from the distribution and some common differences, this article discusses other important biological differences between horse and zebra. Horse There are two extant subspecies of wild horse, Equus ferus, and E. f. caballus is the domesticated and most common. The other subspecies is E. f. przewalskii (Przewalski’s Horse or Mongolian Horse), the only true wild horse surviving today. Stallion is the referred name for an adult male, while it is mare for an adult female. According to the earliest archaeological evidence, it was once a wild animal and became domesticated 4,000 years ago. That evidence depicts the long relationship between man and horse. Horses are easy to train for riding, driving and working purposes. Mainly, horse breeds are of three based on the temperaments; hot bloods for speed and endurance, cold bloods for slow and heavy working, and warm bloods (a cross of other two breeds)."

The large strong heads and erect manes depicted in these paintings bear a striking resemblance to this modern breed. The first domestication of the horses was probably in the steppes of central Asia between 3000 and 4000 B. C. These first animals were kept for meat and milk. As early man became more mobile undoubtedly horses began to be used as pack animals. Oxen were being used in the Middle East at approximately 4000 B. C. for plowing. Progressively they were used on sleds, which were eventually mounted on rollers, with the final evolution of wheels. Early in the 3rd millennium B. C. there is archeological evidence that vehicles drawn by equid, generally onagers or ass hybrids, were being used in warfare. As horses from the north became more numerous the carts moved to the familiar two-wheeled chariot with spoked wheels. Due to his greater speed the horse rapidly replaced other equid as harness animals.

[ 2] Przewalski's horse had reached the brink of extinction but was reintroduced successfully back into the wild. [ 3] The tarpan became extinct in the 19th century, though it is a possible ancestor of the domestic horse; it roamed the steppes of Eurasia at the time of domestication. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] [8] However, other subspecies of Equus ferus may have existed and could have been the stock from which domesticated horses are descended. [ 9] Since the extinction of the tarpan, attempts have been made to reconstruct its phenotype, resulting in horse breeds such as the Konik and Heck horse. [ 10] [11] However, the genetic makeup and foundation bloodstock of those breeds is substantially derived from domesticated horses, so these breeds possess domesticated traits. The term \"\"wild horse\"\" is also used colloquially in reference to free-roaming herds of feral horses such as the mustang in the United States, [12] the brumby in Australia, [13] and many others."

All other horses are either domesticated or descended from horses which were once domesticated. Until the mid-1990's the Przewalski was extinct in the wild, exterminated by hunters. Through efforts of the Przewalski Foundation in the Netherlands and breeding preserves in Askania Nova, Ukraine, in 1992 two combined breeding groups of Przewalski horses were reintroduced to Mongolia with the ultimate plan to reintroduce the animals to the open steppe. It was originally believed that the Przewalski horse was discovered by the Russian explorer Colonel Przewalski, for whom it is named, in 1881. More recent information from the Przewalski Horse Foundation indicates two Europeans saw these animals much earlier. A Scottish doctor who was sent on an embassy to China by Peter the Great wrote of his experiences in Journey from St. Petersburg to Pekin, 1719 - 1723 and included an accurate description of this Asiatic Wild Horse. Even earlier, Hans Schiltberger, a Bavarian nobleman, was taken prisoner by the Turks and sold to the famous Tamerlane of the Golden Horde, who in turn gave Schiltberger to a Mongol prince named Egedi. Schiltberger spent several years in the Tien Shan mountains. He wrote of the wild horses he observed in his memoirs \"\"Journey into Heathen Parts\"\"."

During this time, horses were widespread. Wild horse populations existed in the northern tip of Africa adjacent to the Tyrrhenian and Mediterranean Seas, across Europe excluding the most northern regions where the Scandinavian countries currently exist, and as far east in the Palearctic region as China and Mongolia. They extended throughout the northern Palearctic, across Beringia into the Yukon, and as far south in North America as Mexico, as far east as the Mississippi River, and as far west as the Pacific Ocean coastline. It is believed that the wild horses in North America went extinct 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Domestic horses were then introduced into North America upon European colonization.

There are improvements in my energy levels as well. I believe that PREBIOTICS are much better than PROBIOTICS. Prebiotics Versus Probiotics A probiotics is defined as a live microorganism that confers health benefits to the host, typically as these friendly flora colonize your intestines. A prebiotic is defined as a food which provides nutrition to the only good bacteria in your gut, but not to the bad bacteria (or only provides very minimal nourishment to the bad bacteria, by comparison), so that the good bacteria flourish, and the bad bacteria starve to death. This very small scale study indicates that good bacteria rapidly flourish in the bowel when PREBIOTICS alone are taken, but that taking PROBIOTICS alone did not cause any improvement. This article also explains that prebiotics are much more important than probiotics. The take-home message is that pre biotics are much more beneficial than pro biotics.

Psyllium has many physical benefits and has been shown to prevent and help in the treatment of many conditions such as cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, constipation, diarrhea, obesity, high blood sugar and inflammatory bowel diseases. Psyllium’s main benefits come from the high amount of soluble fiber it contains, and to understand how psyllium functions, it’s important to understand a bit about fiber and the digestive tract. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Fiber Psyllium is a type of fiber. Fiber is the part of plants we eat that contains a chemical bond which our bodies cannot break down. Consequently, it passes through the body unabsorbed. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber forms a compound with water, and the result is a gel that mixes with and softens the stool. Psyllium is a soluble type of fiber, and is normally ingested mixed in a glass of water, and enters the digestive tract to begin its work. Water Because psyllium is soluble, it needs to have an adequate amount of water with which to mix, or it can potentially cause bowel obstruction, constipation and other problems."

Chicory root just may be the answer you’re looking for. This popular coffee substitute does more than just take the place of your favorite breakfast accompaniment, however. In addition to providing added fiber to foods, chicory root has a smooth, creamy feeling in the mouth similar to fat. That makes it a great fat replacement in ice creams, margarines and dressings. While this sounds ideal, we cannot bypass the need for the high-quality fiber found in whole fruits, vegetables, some whole grains and other high-fiber foods that help promote overall good health. However, chicory root has some great benefits as well when used in moderation, which is why it may just become a part of your everyday routine. Benefits of Chicory Root1.

There are many different types of fiber, and just because one product has a different type than another it doesn't mean that its no good, just different. If the Fibersure works just as well as the metamucil, and its easier to take then I suggest you keep up with that one. If you eat oatmeal, you could try adding the metamucil to that, since the texture is similar (you would need to add more liquid though). The metamucil will change the texture of the smoothie a bit, I was OK with it, but a friend of mine who tried it did not like it. STILLTRYIN8Posts: 2123/7/07 5:02 PThanks Smokeygirl.

S., in Canada, and around the world, we're experiencing a \"\"fiber crisis. \"\" Shocking new research suggests that the general public – which likely includes you – is simply not getting the fiber needed every day for optimal health and wellbeing. In fact, a recent survey determined that fewer than 10 percent of us are consuming the optimal recommended daily amount of fiber. And, if that doesn't startle you, consider that the average American consumes less than half the suggested amount of fiber daily!Why is a diet deficient in fiber a problem? Numerous studies now reveal the potential drawbacks of a diet low in fiber for individuals of all ages. Once regarded simply as a way to help with regularity or to aid occasional constipation, the results of study after study force us to rethink the fundamental benefits and value of fiber. In fact, a high-fiber diet may help you maintain your digestive health and regularity (including providing ideal food for your beneficial bacteria), and your heart healthiness. Additionally, studies suggest that high-fiber diets may also assist you in the battle against the bulge by helping you feel full and therefore eat less. So, since most of us are dramatically deficient in our daily intake, it's time for you to take firm action. It's time for a change."

One of the best ways to establish and support a healthy gut microbiome is by providing the right “foods” for your gut bacteria. These “foods” are called prebiotics. Why you should add resistant starch to your diet. Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates, or at least indigestible to us, that reach the colon intact and selectively feed many strains of beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics are generally classified into three different types: non-starch polysaccharides (such as inulin and fructooligosaccharide), soluble fiber (including psyllium husk and acacia fibers), and resistant starch (RS)."

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

This bulk laxative, fiber supplement, and colon cleanser is produced from the seed of the Plantago plant (a plant that has a long history of medicinal use here on earth). I wondered about it, too, especially since several cookbook writers and many bloggers started using it a couple of years ago to replace xanthan gum across a wide range of recipes. I tried it back then in my favorite vanilla cupcake test and didn’t really like it. The cupcakes came out an off-color, denser, gummier, and they had a taste that wasn’t like a normal vanilla cupcake; i.e. if you didn’t already know by the color and density, then the off-taste gave it away as a gluten-free cupcake. ( I had used this same test as when I wrote The Big Gluten-Free Flour Test: Thomas Keller’s Cup4Cup versus Authentic Foods GF Classic Blend . ) But just recently, a new gluten-free cookbook from America’s Test Kitchen claiming “revolutionary techniques” and “groundbreaking recipes” said psyllium husks powder was far better than xanthan gum in gluten-free bread. In fact, the cookbook said it “resulted in a more delicate crumb” and “provided a stronger protein network that trapped gas and steam” in their bread recipes. Sounded like I needed to do a little more testing! Trouble was, I didn’t want to make their bread."

Taking too much psyllium husk may produce a variety of unwanted symptoms and actually worsen the condition you were hoping to treat. Psyllium is a tiny, gel coated seed from the Plantago ovata shrub. The husk, or fiber, is often found in over the counter fiber supplements and laxatives. It's a soluble fiber that absorbs water and swells in your digestive tract, helping reduce diarrhea and relieve constipation. While a small amount of the fiber can be very beneficial for regulating bowel movements, too much can further upset your digestive system. Digestive Impacts Because psyllium fiber absorbs water as it moves through your digestive tract, taking a high dose of psyllium without adequate fluid may cause problems. The fiber may clump together in the intestines, forming a hard mass which can lead to intestinal blockage. Dry, hard stools associated with constipation can also worsen from too much psyllium and inadequate water intake."

And what’s the healthiest high-fiber diet? While many people know that fibrous foods are important in weight loss and maintaining heart health, most people still fall short of getting enough. It’s recommended that adults get at least 25–30 grams of fiber every day — ideally even more — yet most get only about 15 grams or less. ( 1)Why We Need a High-Fiber Diet Despite the recommendations about eating a high-fiber diet and many food manufacturers claiming that their products are “high in fiber,” it’s still a commonly misunderstood nutrient. Yet it’s one that deserves some explaining considering how many important roles it has in the body. What exactly is fiber? Fiber is a part of the structure of plants and helps build plant molecules, including cellulose, lignins and pectin. Fiber actually contains zero calories since it essentially can’t be digested by humans, and although it’s found in carbohydrate foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains, it doesn’t contribute any carbs to our diets."

"text": "Best Foods To Help Restore A Healthy Balance Of Gut Flora In GI Tract I’ve discussed at length on this blog and in my other resources on the importance of a healthy gastrointestinal tract being a necessity for long-term weight loss. The GI tract is where the majority of nutrient assimilation takes place, the degree of which is determined by the balance of good and bad bacteria there. A poor diet, primarily high in sugars, starches, refined foods, etc, combined with elevated levels of stress and inactivity, antibiotic use, excessive alcohol consumption, and other factors can all contribute to gastrointestinal imbalances. This imbalance can happen slowly over time and is not always evident by the individual. Hormonal changes such as those associated with menopause, or due to certain medications, a stressful period of your life, etc, can trigger an overgrowth of yeast in the gut and make symptoms more noticeable. More after the jump…I refer to this as a hidden obstacle to fat loss as many people fail to address GI balance in part of a weight loss program because they don’t think of it being a factor. Make no mistakes however, it most certainly is a key factor. While the contributing factors that lead to GI imbalances are numerous, in today’s post I want to focus on some common ground with foods to help restore balance. The first and most obvious step is to minimize or eliminate processed and refined foods. The diet must be made up primarily of whole, natural foods, for balance in your gut to be restored."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Fiber (food))navigation search Foods rich in fibers: fruits, vegetables and grains. Dietary fiber or roughage is the indigestible portion of food derived from plants. It has two main components: [1]Soluble fiber, which dissolves in water, is readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active by-products, and can be prebiotic and viscous. This delays gastric emptying which, in humans, can result in an extended feeling of fullness. Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, is metabolically inert and provides bulking, or it can be fermented in the colon. Bulking fibers absorb water as they move through the digestive system, easing defecation. Dietary fiber consists of non- starch polysaccharides and other plant components such as cellulose, resistant starch, resistant dextrins, inulin, lignins, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans, and oligosaccharides. [ 1]Dietary fibers can act by changing the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract and by changing how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed. [ 2] Some types of soluble fiber absorb water to become a gelatinous, viscous substance which may or may not be fermented by bacteria in the digestive tract. Some types of insoluble fiber have bulking action and are not fermented. ["

"text": "If you’re struggling with constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, or just about any other problem, most people’s first suggestion will be some kind of fiber supplement, and psyllium typically ranks pretty high on the list of recommendations. So what actually is it, and does it really help? What Is Psyllium Husk? Psyllium is the seed of a plant native to Southeast Asia. It’s not terribly remarkable in its raw state as a food, but the husk of the seed is very high in viscous soluble fiber. Specifically, it contains 70% soluble and 30% insoluble fiber. Viscous soluble fiber means that the psyllium husk attracts a lot of water to itself and forms a slippery gel as soon as it’s exposed to water – say, for example, in your digestive system. And that makes it very popular as a kind of digestive lubricant for treating constipation and maintaining regular bowel movements. It’s also claimed to help with constipation by sheer bulk: even a tablespoon or two of psyllium will swell up a lot and the mass helps push feces through the intestine. Psyllium husk is also a poorly fermentable fiber – people used to assume that all soluble fiber was fermentable as well, but now we know that isn’t true."

"text": "Psyllium vs. Wheat Dextrinby SANDI BUSCH Oct. 03, 2017Psyllium and wheat dextrin have more in common than the differences that set them apart. Even though their sources vary, psyllium and wheat dextrin are soluble fibers, which are commonly sold as over-the-counter laxatives. Both are generally safe, but wheat dextrin contains a small amount of gluten, while psyllium is associated with unique side effects, such as allergic reactions and the potential to swell in your throat if you don't take it properly. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Distinct Sources Psyllium comes from a plant called Plantago ovata, or blond psyllium. Husks from the plant's seeds are removed and used to produce psyllium fiber. Wheat dextrin is extracted from starch found inside whole-grain wheat. The Institute of Medicine classifies both of them as functional fibers because they’re commercially produced and used to make supplements or to fortify foods, rather than consumed as part of the whole food. Soluble Fiber Fiber-containing foods have varying amounts of two different types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Psyllium and wheat dextrin contain only soluble fiber, which absorbs water and becomes gelatinous, after which it binds with cholesterol and carries it out of your body. Soluble fiber also helps prevent a spike in blood sugar by slowing down the rate of digestion and absorption."

This page features 103 unique references to scientific papers. History Summary Things to Know How to Take Human Effect Matrix Scientific Research Citations Summary of Psyllium Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts Psyllium is the common word used to refer to fibers taken from the plant known as Plantago ovata ( Plantago psyllium is used synonymously, and is where the fiber name is derived from); the fiber is characterized by being water soluble (hydrophilic) and gel forming, while possessing low fermentability. It is commonly known by the brand name Metamucil. Psyllium is used clinically as a bulk laxative, an agent that has laxative effects but secondary to increasing fecal size; a gentler laxative relative to chemical agents like caffeine or senna alexandrina. This bulk occurs due to water and gas absorption in the small intestines and colon to give chyme (made from digested food) more size and softness. This bulk is retained in the colon despite microflora as psyllium is poorly fermented (highly fermented fibers may be metabolized by bacteria in the colon, and water retaining properties with the fiber would be lost in this scenario). Psyllium is proven to increase fecal size and moisture, and the most common characteristics of stool following supplementation of psyllium are 'soft, sleek, and easily passable.' Relative to other sources of dietary fiber, psyllium appears to be more effective at forming feces and appears to be one of the few fiber sources not associated with excessive flatulence. Beyond the fecal properties, psyllium appears to be able to reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in persons with high cholesterol (secondary to the gel forming properties leeching bile acids, and cholesterol being used up to replace hepatic bile acids) and there is a slight reduction of HDL as well."

By Melissa Bajorek - Updated June 12, 2017While restrooms are needed in most food-serving establishments by law, not all retail stores are required to provide restrooms for customers. Store restroom requirements are based on square footage, occupancy, local and state laws. Restroom Laws According to the American Restroom Association, all businesses are required by federal law to provide restrooms for employees. Some states and local governments have started adopting laws pertaining to customer access restrooms as well. The plumbing, size and occupancy requirements for these restrooms are covered state building codes. Locking Restrooms According to the American Restroom Association, any person in a business location is considered an occupant of that business. Locked restrooms, or restrooms intended only for employees are legal, but in most states staff must unlock the restroom if any occupant asks. Special Situtations In some states, like Texas, a retail business must open their private restrooms only to individuals with health conditions. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, an individual must be able to provide proof of their medical condition with an ID card or letter from a medical professional."

"text": "\"News Mon Jun 2, 2008 - 12:15 pm ESTColorado Governor Signs Sexual Orientation Anti-Discrimination Bill By Michael Baggot DENVER, CO, June 2, 2008 (Life Site News.com) - Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed a controversial new bill on Thursday that bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and challenges the freedom of religious groups to oppose the homosexual lifestyle. Despite a Focus on the Family media campaign urging veto of the bill, the governor signed Senate Bill 200 into law. The legislation forbids sexual orientation discrimination in \"\"public accommodations,\"\" broadly defined to include any business, including home-based ones, that offer \"\"goods and services\"\" to the public. Tom Minnery, senior vice president of government and public policy at Focus on the Family Action, warned in his Denver Post editorial last Saturday that SB 200 would \"\"forcibly normalize all varieties of sexual orientation\"\". Because \"\"transsexual\"\" is considered a sexual orientation, the bill would free men to enter women’s restrooms and locker-rooms, noted Minnery. \"\" There are multiple problems with this legislation, but the problem of restrooms is the most breathtaking one. Until now, establishments open to the public have been allowed to restrict certain restrooms and locker rooms to one sex if it made sense to do so, as it almost always does.\"\" \"\" With SB 200, however, we no longer have two ‘sexes’; we enter a brave new world with a myriad of ‘sexual orientations’ that must not be discriminated against, upon pain of the substantial civil and criminal penalties contained in the bill.\"\" \"\" Woe to the first women’s fitness facility or mall owner who objects to a man dressed as a woman who wants to enter previously forbidden territory. And what an opportunity for sexual predators to use this law as ‘cover’ to enter intimate areas in search of a victim.\"\""

The class has a rewards system in which students could use the play money they earn to pay for bathroom breaks, though the rules allowed students to always use the bathroom if it was an emergency, according to Evergreen Public Schools.… [ A school-district investigation] stated that the classroom policy for additional bathroom breaks came in response to numerous class interruptions, with students leaving to use the restroom. ”Students at Mill Plain Elementary School never had to use play money to go to the bathroom during designated school-day breaks such as recess, lunch and on the way to P. E., the newspaper reported. But the mom of a third-grader told a local TV station that her daughter wet herself because the girl used her play money to buy popcorn to eat with her classmates and decided to hold her pee.

Consequently, many businesses' restrooms are not public restrooms and may legally be closed during certain hours, limited to employees or completely closed to the public. There are public restroom organizations such as the American Restroom Association that act as advocates for the availability of clean, safe, well designed public restrooms. We owe many thanks to such organizations for the level of access to public restrooms that we enjoy today.

To allow people in wheelchairs to reach the trash receptacle from both the front and side of the chair, the opening of the trash receptacle should be 15-48 inches (380-1220 mm) above the floor. Also, when considering handicap bathroom design, place trash receptacles that protrude more than 4 inches from the wall in corners or alcoves so they don't interfere with wheelchair mobility.

General Assembly approved a compromise bill that repealed House Bill 2 but restricts anti-discrimination ordinances in cities and counties. Gov. Roy Cooper signed the measure into law. The story below follows HB2 from its passage. In a one-day specially convened session on March 23, 2016 North Carolina’s legislature passed a sweeping law that reverses a Charlotte ordinance that had extended some rights to people who are gay or transgender. The law passed by the General Assembly and signed that same night by Gov. Pat Mc Crory goes further than a narrow elimination of Charlotte’s ordinance, which had generated the most controversy by a change that protected transgender people who use public restrooms based on their gender identity. The new law also nullified local ordinances around the state that would have expanded protections for the LGBT community. Never miss a local story.

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Stores are not required to provide restrooms for customers. Many do so as for their customers' convenience, but others choose not to. UNITool · 1 decade ago3 0 Comment I believe there is a law in California which states that if a retail store does not have public restrooms, they must have a permanent sign posted somewhere in the facility which says \"\"No Public Restroom\"\". This is because they want to make sure store owners or employees do not discriminate against different groups. If there is no sign posted, what s to stop them from telling a black man he cannot use the restroom but allow a white man to use it whenever he wants?"

"text": "FAQ: Answers to Some Common Questions about Equal Access to Public Restrooms (En Español)How do you know which bathroom a transgender person should use? A transgender person should use the restroom that matches who they are. The medical community (and increasingly, employ-ers, schools and courts) now recognize that it is essential to the health and well-being of transgender people for them to be able to live in accordance with their internal gender identity in all aspects of life—restroom usage is a necessary part of that experience. In Doe v. Regional School Unit, the Maine Supreme Court held that a transgender girl had a right to use the women’s restroom at school because her psychological well-being and educational success depended on her transition. The school, in denying her access, had “treated [her] differently from other students solely because of her status as a transgender girl.” The court determined that this was a form of discrimination. The right to use restrooms that match who one is has also have also been recognized in the workplace and are actively being asserted in public accommodations. In Iowa, for example, discrimination in public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity has been prohibited by law since 2007 through the Iowa Civil Rights Act. What if someone doesn't look masculine or feminine enough to use a particular restroom? There is no rule that a person must look a certain way to use a certain restroom."

The ADA sets out design and engineering standards to make public restrooms and other facilities accessible to disabled people. Guidelines The ADA Accessibility Guidelines set accessibility standards for restrooms in public facilities such as hotels, theaters, schools and recreation centers. The United States Access Board creates the guidelines, which set out specific requirements for elements such as door width, handrail height and toilet design. Public facilities are required to comply with these guidelines. Some states, including Texas and Massachusetts, offer their own accessibility guidelines, in addition to the ADA guidelines. Wheelchair Access Restrooms, or handicapped toilet stalls, must have a clear floor space measuring at least 30 inches by 48 inches. In addition, restrooms must have enough room to allow a wheelchair to make a 180-degree turn.

Singleton Industry Director/s/ Steve Burgess Director, Examination, SBSESUBJECT: Field Directive on the Planning and Examination of Cost Segregation Issues in the Restaurant Industry Introduction This memorandum is intended to provide direction to effectively utilize resources in the classification and examination of a taxpayer who is recovering costs through depreciation of tangible property used in the operation of a restaurant business. This LMSB Directive is not an official pronouncement of the law or the position of the Service and cannot be used, cited or relied upon as such. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, enacted October 22, 2004, modifies I. R. C. §168. This development has been incorporated into the guidelines through the note to Exhibit A. In addition, this directive has been modified in content and format to conform to the Field Directive issued for the retail industry on December 16, 2004. Background The crux of cost segregation is determining whether an asset is I. R. C. §1245 property (shorter cost recovery period property, 5 or 7 years) or §1250 property (longer cost recovery period property, 39, 31.5 or 15 years). The most common example of §1245 property is depreciable personal property, such as equipment. The most common examples of §1250 property are buildings and building components, which generally are not §1245 property. 1The difference in recovery periods has placed the Internal Revenue Service and taxpayers in adversarial positions in determining whether an asset is §1245 or §1250 property."

Because of the high impact of this issue, we continually monitor the literature for any new information that either documents or provides evidence against an association between inhalation mycotoxin exposure and human illness. The mycotoxin literature can be loosely divided into animal studies, experimental studies in which some human factor is included, human epidemiological studies, and case studies. Animal studies generally rely on relatively high doses of toxin to elicit an immediate effect, and somewhat lower doses to approximate chronic doses. These doses are then extrapolated to humans. Because animals may be more or less sensitive to the toxin than humans, correction factors are used. Usually, these correction factors consider that the animals are less sensitive, and doses are reduced by factors of 100 or 1,000 to approximate an appropriate human dose. Human studies rely on human cell culture, blood, urine, or other parts. Cell cultures may be exposed to mycotoxins directly, or all of these parts can be studied for specific factors after presumed mycotoxin exposure. Epidemiological studies evaluate natural environmental exposure and relate such exposure to specific health outcomes."

Given limited space and time, we will only cover some of the most common and best to know here in this article. For starters, mushrooms are the reproductive bodies or \"\"fruits\"\" a fungus. The main body of the fungus is in the form of white, thread-like structures called mycelium. The structures of a typical gilled mushroom consist of a cap, gills and a stalk. The gills are the reproductive portions of the mushroom, and the produce the spores. Spores are reproductive units in the form of single cells."

As the drawing at the right indicates, the name \"\"club fungi\"\" derives from the fact that in this group spores, more technically known as basidiospores , are produced on microscopic, club-like structures called basidia (singular basidium ). In fact, in technical texts this group is usually referred to as the Basidiomycetes or Basidiomycota .. Basidia cover part of the fungus's reproductive structures. In gilled mushrooms (one is illustrated below), the gills are covered with them. The above diagram shows a cross section of such a gill. Basidospores detach from the basidia and drift down out of the gills, and then are dispersed on wind currents. Basidia occur elsewhere on the fruiting bodies of non-gilled fungi. You might want to compare this diagramm showing basidia and basidiospores with the diagram showing asci and ascospores on the sac fungus page . Here are some of the kinds of club fungi we can look for: Gill Fungi These have gills under their caps -- the slender items radiating from the stem in the photo at the right.

Have you ever wondered where other than cigarettes the nicotine can be found? From where did it come in cigarettes? Tobacco leaves right? Then if it’s present in a nature’s product it can be present in some other natural product as well! You have never thought beyond tobacco leaves and cigarettes because you have never heard or even imagined nicotine present in any other things than these two. Whenever you read something about cigarette or smoking you read about nicotine and if it’s not mentioned you at least think about it. Nicotine is always assisted with reference to smoking, cigarettes and health hazards etc and the discussions never go beyond it. Nicotine is also found in some other eatables like potatoes and tomatoes, though in very small amount, medical reports state that they are found in these eatables and many others."

"text": "Wild plants were the main food and the “survival kit” for our ancestors. But if you find yourself in the wilderness without food or a first aid kit – for whatever reason – can you identify common wild plants that can save your life? Most of us can’t. When you shop it’s easy to pick the veggies and herbs as they are all edible. The same thing when you go to the drugstore and you need to treat an injury. Some wild plants have adapted to very limited, unusual environments, exceptional soil conditions or very harsh climates. Although some types of plants for these reasons exist only within a very limited range (endemism), others can live in diverse areas or by adaptation to different environments. But all the bellow mentioned plants can be found on US territory. Maybe some of you have already used one or two. Edible Wild Plants Edible wild plants have much more nutrients than their domestic counterparts – if there is one."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Puffball (disambiguation). Lycoperdon perlatum Calbovista subsculpta Calvatia cyathiformis Puffballs are found in several genera of the division Basidiomycota. A puffball is a member of any of several groups of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The puffballs were previously treated as a taxonomic group called the Gasteromycetes or Gasteromycetidae, but they are now known to be a polyphyletic assemblage. The distinguishing feature of all puffballs is that they do not have an open cap with spore-bearing gills. Instead, spores are produced internally, in a spheroidal fruitbody called a gasterothecium (gasteroid ('stomach-like') basidiocarp ). As the spores mature, they form a mass called a gleba in the centre of the fruitbody that is often of a distinctive color and texture. The basidiocarp remains closed until after the spores have been released from the basidia. Eventually, it develops an aperture, or dries, becomes brittle, and splits, and the spores escape. The spores of puffballs are statismospores rather than ballistospores, meaning they are not forcibly extruded from the basidium."

"text": "\"Puffballs [ Basidiomycota . . . ] by Michael Kuo The term \"\"puffball,\"\" as I am using it here, is not at all scientific; I mean more or less any mushroom that looks like a ball when mature. Typically the interior of a puffball is composed of spore-bearing flesh. When the puffball matures it splits open, or a perforation develops on surface of the ball, through which the spores escape--when raindrops land on the puffball, via air currents, or by some other means. Puffballs range widely in size and appearance--from tiny species that grow in clusters on wood, to large, terrestrial species growing in fairy rings in meadows. A few species, like Calvatia gigantea, are enormous, reaching diameters of 50 cm! I am including the \"\"earthstars\"\" with the puffballs since they consist, at maturity, of a puffball sitting atop a star-shaped arrangement of fleshy arms--as well as the so-called \"\"stalked puffballs,\"\" which consist of a ball-like spore case that sits atop a stem. When sliced open, puffballs contain only flesh--or, if they have matured, spore dust. This separates them from buttons of some gilled mushrooms that have universal veils and can appear like puffballs, since those mushrooms display the future mushroom in cross-section. Some slime molds can appear like puffballs, as well, but when sliced open they are filled with gooey, gelatinous material."

Mushrooms that grow in mulch are either feeding on the mulch itself or the bacteria harbored within. The fungi do not pose a threat to your landscape but can be poisonous if ingested. Puffball Mushrooms Puffballs are mushrooms that grow in mulch, according to the University of Illinois Extension. As explained by the University of California's IPM Online, puffballs are cream/white in color with a round structure. The mushroom develops a hole in its top during maturity when it releases thousands of its dark-hued spores. Puffball mushrooms measure up to approximately 1 inch in height. Like other mushrooms, puffballs grow on plant material in the process of decaying and do not pose a significant threat to your plants or lawn. Puffballs can be left or removed by hand.

"text": "\"Spore Dispersal in Fungi (continued)Mushrooms & Puffballs In the previous section, we have gone over experiments that demonstrate the ease with which many spores are able to stay afloat, which is an important feature if the spore is to be dispersed over long distances. There are several different mechanisms by which fungi release their spores into the air, which then allows them to be dispersed by wind. One that was mentioned, in the previous section, was the dispersal of basidiospores of mushrooms. This release is accomplished by the forcible ejection of the basidia from the basidiospores. The force that ejects the basidiospores comes about from the internal pressure that is built up in the basidia. When the basidiospores are mature, the pressure in the basidia literally shoots the basidiospores between the gills of the mushroom. Although the actual distance that the basidiospores are ejected is very short, it is enough to allow them to drop between the gills, without getting trapped (see Figure 5a-b, on previous page). Once free of the gills, they can be carried great distances by wind, away from the parent mycelium. While this is a simple mechanism, it should not be underestimated. In one species of mushroom, Schizophyllum commune , research was carried out, by Raper, et al (1958) that genetically demonstrated that this dispersal mechanism has led to a world-wide distribution of this species."

Its name comes form the French “dents de lion” meaning “teeth of lion”. Therefore, one of the nicknames for this plant is Lions Tooth. This is because some say that the jagged edges of the leaves resemble the jaws and teeth of a lion. Another name for the flower is ‘blow ball’ or ‘puffball’. When the plant does to seed, the flower turns into a white puffball. Many children get a lot of enjoyment out making a wish and blowing the seeds away! Bees also visit dandelion flowers and beekeepers say that this plant helps produce some of the best honey. Dandelions have the ability to regrow time and time again after being mowed with a lawn mower because of their fat taproot system which allows the storage of enough energy to send up a new flower many times after the flower head is removed. History concerning the dandelion dates back to the early colonists who brought it to North America, where people valued it for medicinal and nutritional benefits."

The breed is considered one of the oldest canine breeds today. There are many theories as to the Pug’s origin—one theory states that the breed is a descendant of the short-haired Pekingese; another theory postulates that the Pug is a cross of a small Bulldog; and, a third theory speculates it is a miniature form of the French Mastiff (Dogue de Bordeaux). Aside from Tibetan monasteries, only members of the Chinese imperial household were allowed to own these small-nosed dogs who always stayed by their master’s side even during royal occasions when foreign guests were present. It is said that female pugs were held in high esteem so much so that they had the same rank with the wives of the emperor. This was true during the time of the great emperor Ling To (168-190 A. D.) who also ordered that his pugs be guarded by the palace’s soldiers and be fed with only the best food. He greatly loved his pugs that anyone who was caught attempting to steal a pug was meted a death sentence. During the 16-17th centuries, Pugs became highly popular and were imported to Europe with the aid of the Dutch East India Company. In 1572, a pug named Pompey alerted his master, the Prince of Orange William the Silent, to the approach of the Spaniards thus saving his master’s life. As a result, the Pug was declared as the official dog of the House of Orange."

"text": "Training a Pug Puppy – Starting Early Posted by Colleen Hart in Behavior Problems, Pug Training | 15 comments When you get your Pug puppy, the first thing you will notice is the amount of energy that the little guy will have. He will run around and play with anything and anyone he can find. It can be really fun and entertaining at first but pretty soon you will struggle to keep up, and that’s when the adorable little guy will go from being cute puppy to being a real trouble maker. He will get into things you may not want him getting into while you’re not looking. He will destroy and chew up your important belongings if he doesn’t know any better. Pugs are naturally pretty clever dogs and no matter how hard you may try to get your dog to not get into certain places or to not play with certain items, they will always find a way. But hey, don’t think you’re doomed to this fate. all of this can be easily avoided if you start training him at an early age. My suggestion is start teaching him good behavior before he even develops those naughty habits. Obedience Training and Your Puppy While your little Pug is growing up, he is learning and shaping his habits."

There is no clear date of introduction of the Pug and many people disagree due to the lack of records available. The Pug was introduced to America just after the Civil War and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in the mid-1880’s. Is there a difference between Fawn and Black Pugs? Aside from the color, there is no difference between the two. How long do Pugs live? On average, Pugs live about 12 years, but they’ve been known to live well beyond their average life span with proper care, nutrition and of course some good luck. Are Pugs easy to train? Pugs are moderately easy to train, making them neither easy to train, nor difficult."

This gourmand of the dog world also happens to be prone to health issues relating to his weight, so a healthy diet is all important to prevent him from developing problems. Pug Health and Weight Pug genetics make him prone to gaining weight, and obesity is a fairly common pug health issue. Your pug is also not the most energetic dog, so keeping weight off him takes self-control on your part, because he has none. Carrying extra weight can create a range of health issues for any dog; for the pug, it presents at least two specific problems. First, it puts his breathing under extra pressure and is connected to the airway obstruction issues common to most brachycephalic dogs. Also, the pug is the second-most at-risk breed for hip dysplasia, and keeping the pounds off is an important part of managing this condition. The same goes for arthritis and luxating patella, a condition of the knee joints. Weight Reduction According to the American Kennel Club breed standard, the ideal weight for male and female pugs is from 14 to 18 pounds."

Here are some of the most famous pugs of all time—Lamb and Moss are known in history as the Pugs which were stolen from the Emperor’s Palace in China. They were brought to England and one of their offspring, a Pug named Click became the forefather of many English and American lines. Other Pugs that became famous as forefathers of well-known breeding lines include Punch and Terry of the Morrison lines, and Mops and Nell of the Willoughby lines. Pompey was owned by Prince William of Holland. According to history, it was Pompey who awakened him to warn him of the presence of Spaniards during the war with Spain that stretched from 1571 to 1573. By saving his life, Prince William declared the Pug as the official dog of the House of Orange. In England, Queen Elizabeth II took a liking to the breed and raised many Pugs in her palace. In fact, she became interested in the breed that she bred her own Pugs. Among her Pugs, her favourite was the one named Basco who lived with her from 1877 to 1892."

These breeds are so old that they were some of the first dogs domesticated from wolves according to their DNA. There are various theories about the origin of the Shih Tzu, mostly debating whether the dogs derived from China or Tibet. Current thought seems to place the origin of the breed in Tibet, though it was greatly developed in China, picking up the name “lion dog” or Shih Tzu by 800 BC. According to one theory, the breed was an early cross between the Pekingese and the Lhasa Apso, but this is speculation. Shih Tzu do appear in Chinese paintings from early times and they were selectively bred and prized by the royal family in some Chinese dynasties."

Many people fall in love with these clownish little dogs who live to be near their owners. But, as with any dog, owning a Pug can be an expensive proposition. Bringing a Pug Into Your Life If you are buying a purebred Pug from registered parents you can expect to pay anywhere from about $250 for a puppy you find in a newspaper ad to about $1,500-2,000 for a well-bred Pug that is destined to become a show champion. The price will depend on many factors, such as the quality of the dog’s pedigree, the area of the country, and the health tests that the breeder has done on the parents. Pugs also produce small litters and sometimes require C-sections so the breeder may have a lot of money invested in a litter of only 2-3 puppies. The puppy from the newspaper ad may grow up to be a wonderful pet. Likewise, the pup who was supposed to become a show champion may not live very long. When you’re buying a puppy at 12 weeks of age, it’s usually a guessing game. Sometimes breeders may have adult dogs to place in good, loving homes after they have retired from the show ring or from breeding."

Of course, please know that in no way are we saying these dogs aren't smart or aren't trainable. They just might not keep up with the Border Collie in their obedience class.

The healing properties of pumpkin seeds have been recently linked to relieving arthritis. In animal studies, the addition of pumpkin seeds to the diet has compared favorably with use of non-steriodal, anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin in reducing inflammatory symptoms. Unlike the drug, pumpkin seeds do not increase the level of damaged fats in the linings of the joints, a side-effect that actually contributes to the progression of arthritis. Besides being a good source of magnesium and zinc, pumpkin seeds are a source of manganese, iron, copper and protein. Snack on a quarter cup of pumpkin seeds and one will receive 46.1 percent of the daily value of magnesium, 28.7 percent of the daily value for iron, 52.0 percent of the daily value for manganese, 24.0 percent of the daily value for copper, 16.9 percent of the daily value for protein and 17.1 percent of the daily value for zinc.# 2 08-23-2009, 09:30 AMkind2creatures...elusive dreamer Join Date: Apr 2009Location: USAPosts: 6,510Blog Entries: 24Punpkin seeds Great info greenmom!Here's an interesting article that shows other benefits too!http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?t...dspice&dbid=82# 3 08-23-2009, 11:19 AMgreenmom Observer Join Date: Aug 2009Location: Virginia Posts: 47In memory of Mother: pumpkin seeds for arthritis, bones and muscles Thank you kind2creatures!

"text": "The Top 6 Pumpkin Seed Oil Benefits Pumpkin seed oil is an intensely dark green oil pressed from raw or roasted pumpkin seeds with many health benefits. It has a rich and nutty flavor and is a potent source of beneficial fatty acids, antioxidants and DHT blocking compounds such as beta-sitosterol and delta-7-sterine. Here are the top health benefits of pumpkin seed oil and 6 great reasons to take it regularly.1. Pumpkin Seed Oil and BPHBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects many men around the world, particularly men over 50. BPH is believed to be due to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) promoting proliferation of prostate cells. This results in an enlargement of the prostate gland and can lead to problems and discomfort when urinating. The phytosterol beta-sitosterol is found in significant concentrations in pumpkin seed oil and helps block the damaging effects of DHT by inhibiting its conversion from testosterone. Pumpkin seed oil also contains the mild steroid delta-7-sterine that specifically competes with DHT in the prostate and seems to help prevent prostate cell multiplication. Alongside these two DHT blockers, pumpkin seed oil has high levels of antioxidant carotenoids, omega 9 fatty acids and zinc, all of which may help reduce a man’s risk of developing BPH. This study found pumpkin seed oil supplementation reduced symptoms and pain for men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia without negative side effects.2."

Protein is also essential for healthy neurotransmitter function, along with overall energy levels. While carbs and fats have their place in a diet, most everyone knows that protein is a nutrient we shouldn’t leave out. The Real Deal on Amino Acids in a Plant-Based Diet Luckily, all foods contain a little protein, and a large variety of plant-based foods provide many of the essential amino acids once believed to only exist within animal-based foods. Essential amino acids are amino acids that are the building blocks of protein that our body can’t produce by itself. In other words, if we don’t eat them, we won’t get enough of them. But steak, beef, chicken, eggs, pork, and milk are not the only sources of essential amino acids; plants have plenty of them our bodies can use the same way. Out of the 22 amino acids that exist, nine are essential and 11 are non-essential. Below are a list of the nine essential amino acids and plant-based foods that are good sources of eac h.

Pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas, are a natural source of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Pumpkin seeds can be boiled, baked or eaten raw. They are low-calorie, high-nutritive snacks and can help improve various physical conditions including prostate and bladder problems, as well as depression. If you’re buying pumpkin seeds at the grocery store, steer clear of the heavily salted pepitas as they can add too much sodium to your diet. Opt for the plain, dry roasted variety instead. Pepitas or pumpkin seeds can include any seeds from the large squash varieties, including Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata and Cucurbita mixta.

"text": "\"Pumpkin seeds What's New and Beneficial About Pumpkin seeds Pumpkin seeds have long been valued as a source of the mineral zinc, and the World Health Organization recommends their consumption as a good way of obtaining this nutrient. If you want to maximize the amount of zinc that you will be getting from your pumpkin seeds, we recommend that you consider purchasing them in unshelled form. Although recent studies have shown there to be little zinc in the shell itself (the shell is also called the seed coat or husk), there is a very thin layer directly beneath the shell called the endosperm envelope, and it is often pressed up very tightly against the shell. Zinc is especially concentrated in this endosperm envelope. Because it can be tricky to separate the endosperm envelope from the shell, eating the entire pumpkin seed—shell and all—will ensure that all of the zinc-containing portions of the seed will be consumed. Whole roasted, unshelled pumpkin seeds contain about 10 milligrams of zinc per 3.5 ounces, and shelled roasted pumpkin seeds (which are often referred to pumpkin seed kernels) contain about 7-8 milligrams. So even though the difference is not huge, and even though the seed kernels remain a good source of zinc, you'll be able to increase your zinc intake if you consume the unshelled version. While pumpkin seeds are not a highly rich source of vitamin E in the form of alpha-tocopherol, recent studies have shown that pumpkin seeds provide us with vitamin E in a wide diversity of forms. From any fixed amount of a vitamin, we are likely to get more health benefits when we are provided with that vitamin in all of its different forms. In the case of pumpkin seeds, vitamin E is found in all of the following forms: alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocomonoenol, and gamma-tocomonoenol."

However, the vast majority of pumpkins are grown not for ornamental use but for eating. Most pumpkin that is processed is made into canned pumpkin and canned pumpkin pie mix, but you can also purchase fresh “pie” pumpkins and puree the flesh yourself.

Good varieties to start with include Baby Pam, Winter Luxury or New England Pie. Jack-O'Lantern pumpkins are larger and less flavorful than pies. If you want to grow pumpkins large enough to carve, try Howden, Rock Star or Connecticut Field. [ 2]Miniature pumpkins are grown for decorative purposes.

With a wide variety of nutrients ranging from magnesium and manganese to copper, protein and zinc, pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses wrapped up in a very small package. They also contain plant compounds known as phytosterols and free-radical scavenging antioxidants, 1 which can give your health an added boost.

Heart Healthy Magnesium One-quarter cup of pumpkin seeds contains nearly half of the recommended daily amount of magnesium, which participates in a wide range of vitally important physiological functions, including the creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy molecules of your body), the synthesis of RNA and DNA, the pumping of your heart, proper bone and tooth formation, relaxation of your blood vessels, and proper bowel function. Magnesium has been shown to benefit your blood pressure and help prevent sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack, and stroke, yet an estimated 80 percent of Americans are deficient in this important mineral.2. Zinc for Immune Support Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc (one ounce contains more than 2 mg of this beneficial mineral)."

Zinc deficiency affects nearly 2.3 Billion people around the world, making it a far too common issue for us. Zinc deficiency can also impact the absorption of copper and iron, which in the long run spells trouble. The fact is that zinc plays as a vital cofactor to a number of critical enzymes. This means that zinc participates directly in the activity of the enzymes, which honestly makes zinc deficiency a problem. Research has shown that there are over 300 zinc dependent enzymes currently known in science. This means that even a minor form of zinc deficiency can have far reaching health implications. Which in turn means that zinc deficiency can lead to problems in immunity, reproduction, vision, and skin health."

Fresh foods generally have a higher nutrient content than do cooked or canned foods. But in this case, both fresh pumpkin and canned pumpkin are packed with nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin A and iron. If you want to use fresh pumpkin, look for pumpkins without blemishes that are firm and heavy for their size. Whole pumpkins can be stored in a cool dark place for up to two months.

Lately my thoughts have been steered toward her diet and how healthy her food actually is for her, the animals, and the planet. After doing a ton of research – I’ve decided to transition Keeva to a Vegan diet. I’ve tried feeding Keeva a vegan diet a couple of times before, but I was always so nervous as to whether or not she was getting all of the nutrients that her body needed. So after about a year and a half of researching I finally feel comfortable going forward. I know vegan dogs can be just as healthy as their meat-eating friends!Check out Bramble, the Chocolate Lab from the U. K., who lived to the ripe old age of 27! She became one of the oldest living dogs on record by eating a diet of rice, lentils, and organic vegetables. She ate once a day and got plenty of exercise! Or check out the story of Piggy who was rescued from the streets of the Dominican Republic and nursed back to health by eating a vegan diet!I know a lot of people may be shocked that someone would choose to feed their dog a vegan diet, but it’s actually not that extreme."

( incl. recipes)Posted on I get this question all the time: “What is the difference between a squash and a pumpkin?”Well, to keep it simple, pumpkin is one type of squash and squash generally refers to four species of genus cucurbita, including the species to which pumpkin belongs. So, to make it clearer, both squash and pumpkin belong to the same family (the cucurbitaceae). A pumpkin is a type of squash. Squash is considered a fruit and it grows on a vine. Here in the US and Canada, we usually break down the squash family to winter or summer squash, depending on when they are harvested. One thing that makes pumpkin a little different from other squash, besides it orange with yellow-orange skin, is its stem. Anyone who has ever handled one knows that its stem is stiff and spikey."

The gardeners suspect cross-pollination is to blame for the odd shapes and they wonder if the fruit is edible. I’m sure you can eat any of these fruit but I can’t guarantee how they will taste (probably not so good). But identifying the parents of these squmpkins or gourchini or cuculoupes is almost impossible because these vining crops, while similar, are famously sexually discriminatory. Here is my explanation of how it works: Plants belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family produce separate male and female blooms on the same plant. Insects are usually required to cross-pollinate blooms. Even plants that cross pollinate do not affect each other’s taste in the current year. Only the offspring next year will be affected. Pumpkins and squashes do not cross-pollinate with cucumbers, watermelons or citron."

That giant pumpkin you bought to carve a jack-o'-lantern might seem like it would be impressive to roast, but it's really not. It's hard to handle, tough to cut, and the flavor and texture aren't actually that enjoyable. Large pumpkins are much better left out of the kitchen, and used as a decoration.

Every part of the squash plant can be eaten, including the leaves and tender shoots, which can be cooked in omelets or made into soup. The term summer and winter for squash are only based on current usage, not on actuality. Summer squash types are on the market all winter; and Winter squash types are on the markets in the late summer and fall, as well as winter. Thus, the terms Summer and Winter are deceptive and confusing. This terminology was never meant to confuse – it just dates back to a time when the seasons were more crucial to man’s survival than they are now.

"text": "\"One type of winter squash, a hubbard squash has many names such as \"\"green pumpkin\"\" or \"\"buttercup.\"\" Its origins are unknown, but it can currently be found in most countries worldwide, as it can grow about anywhere with sunlight and a few months of warm weather. Most major supermarkets sell the squash during the winter months, but it is often sold in pieces as an entire squash can be quite large. Due to it's hard outer shell, this winter squash stores well, for up to six months, and can be used in a variety of cooking and baking recipes. Origin The hubbard squash is said to have a mysterious origin, possibly named after a Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard, who lived in the 1840s and gave seeds of the squash to friends, thus increasing its popularity. It is not known exactly where the hubbard was first grown, but most winter squash varieties are known to be New World foods, meaning they originated in the Americas. It can now be grown almost anywhere with enough sunlight, water, and warm weather; the seed is known to be quite resilient and grows best if planted during the spring to allowed to grow all summer. A relatively recent addition to hubbard squash varieties is the golden hubbard; unfortunately, manipulating nature here has not produced the best results. While the golden hubbard squash is pretty, some note it has a bitter aftertaste instead of the sweet taste of the original hubbard. Many people suggest sticking with the original hubbard for best cooking results."

Pumpkins may get all the glory at Halloween, but there are many other versatile, vividly colored, flavorful, and nutrient-packed winter squash varieties to brighten up cold-weather meals. Sweeter, denser, and more firm in texture than summer squash or zucchini, autumn and winter squash take well to a wide spectrum of seasonings and can be true crowd-pleasers in warming soups, casseroles, risotto, lasagna, and even desserts. Related Real Talk About Peeling Squash View article The term winter squash is a bit of a misnomer: Harvested in the fall, these hardy vegetables will keep well through the cold winter months for which they're named. Chances are that sugar pumpkins, acorn squash, and butternut squash are the most readily available types at local supermarkets. Others, such as spaghetti, buttercup, and red kuri, are worth seeking out at farmers' markets, health food stores, or specialty shops. Regardless of the type, to get the best quality, select winter squash that are blemish- and bruise-free, with an intact stem and heavy feeling for their size. Naturally low in fat and calories, the winter squash family delivers significant nutritional benefits. For example, one cup of baked butternut squash is rich in vitamins A (from beta carotene), B6, C, and E, as well as magnesium, potassium, and manganese. Flavors are generally mild-to-sweet, so squash won't overwhelm other ingredients and can easily be incorporated into your seasonal cooking."

There’s more to the world of winter squash, though, than farm-stand pumpkins. Hundreds of varieties exist, but you’ll rarely see most of them at your local grocery store. They include everything from garden behemoths, like ‘Gill’s Blue Hubbard’, to the bump-rinded ‘Marina di Chioggia’.

Although the purpose of punitive damages is not to compensate the plaintiff, the plaintiff will receive all or some of the punitive damages award. Punitive damages are often awarded if compensatory damages are deemed an inadequate remedy. The court may impose them to prevent undercompensation of plaintiffs and to allow redress for undetectable torts and taking some strain away from the criminal justice system. [ 1] Punitive damages are most important for violations of the law that are hard to detect. [ 2]However, punitive damages awarded under court systems that recognize them may be difficult to enforce in jurisdictions that do not recognize them. For example, punitive damages awarded to one party in a US case would be difficult to get recognition for in a European court in which punitive damages are most likely to be considered to violate ordre public. [ 3]Because they are usually paid in excess of the plaintiff's provable injuries, punitive damages are awarded only in special cases, usually under tort law, if the defendant's conduct was egregiously insidious. Punitive damages cannot generally be awarded in contract disputes. The main exception is in insurance bad faith cases in the US if the insurer's breach of contract is alleged to be so egregious as to amount to a breach of the \"\"implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing\"\", and is therefore considered to be a tort cause of action eligible for punitive damages (in excess of the value of the insurance policy).

Unfortunately, many contractors blissfully assume that if they are held liable for punitive damages, then their liability insurance will cover them. That may or may not be the case. Determining whether a contractor has coverage for punitive damages is a two-step process. First, you must analyze the applicable policy. If there is coverage, then the next step is to determine whether coverage is prohibited as a matter of public policy. Step One: Policy Analysis Many insurance policies exclude punitive damages, or are ambiguous about whether they are covered. If the policy expressly excludes coverage for punitive damages, then the analysis is over; there is no coverage."

Will there be enough money to cover hospital bills and other expenses that have come up during time away from work? What measures are in place to make sure what happened to me never happens to anyone else? All of these are valid questions and all revolve around what types of damages are awarded at the end of the trial. Personal injury cases include 3 types of damages: general damages, special damages, and punitive damages. General and special damages are compensatory damages, which serve to compensate the plaintiff for economic loss and pain and suffering, attempting to make them whole. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for his or her negligence or recklessness. Below you will find a more in-depth look at the different types of damages and how they can be calculated. General Damages General damages are in place to compensate the victim for the noneconomic loss such as emotional distress, and pain and suffering. These losses are generally difficult to calculate, as there is no true economic value that can be placed on the amount of distress one suffered."

In this article, we'll provide a snapshot of a few of these laws, including the Florida statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, shared fault rules, no-fault car insurance requirements, and more. Deadlines for Filing an Injury Lawsuit in Florida Like every other state, Florida has a statute on the books that sets a deadline for the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit in civil court against the person or business that might be legally at fault for your injury. This law is called a statute of limitations. Under Florida's statute of limitations for personal injury cases, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Florida's civil courts (this law can be found at Florida Statutes Annotated section 95.11 (3)). If you don't file your case within this time window, the court will very likely refuse to hear it at all. In rare cases, you may not “discover” that you actually suffered harm for some amount of time after the incident that caused the injury, and in those instances the lawsuit-filing window could be extended. It's important to note that the statute of limitations we've discussed here applies to most, but not all, Florida lawsuits seeking compensation for losses related to a physical injury. Like most states, Florida has a specific statute of limitations for lawsuits over injuries caused by medical malpractice, for example. Learn more about Florida medical malpractice laws."

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

"text": "Damages in personal injury cases can be limited by a variety of state statutes and legal concepts. This article discusses some of the most common limits on compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. Non-Economic Damage Caps“Economic damages” are concrete damages that the injured person (the plaintiff), or the plaintiff’s insurance company, has paid out and/or will continue to pay out as a result of the injury -- for example medical bills stemming from the injuries. Economic damages are also concrete amounts the plaintiff has missed out on and/or will continue to miss out on, for example lost wages. “Non-economic damages” are every other category of injury damages, most importantly the various types of “pain and suffering” and “loss of enjoyment of life” damages. Unlike economic damages, a jury does not base a plaintiff’s non-economic damage awards on past losses and future calculations, it has to make a more subjective evaluation. Many states have non-economic damage caps for medical malpractice cases. A smaller number, less than a quarter, of states have in place non-economic damage caps for any personal injury claim. The cap amounts (i.e. the maximum amount of non-economic damages the plaintiff can recover) vary, ranging from $350,000 to $750,000. The damage cap laws, however, all make exceptions for cases involving death and serious injuries, for example loss of a limb or organ system."

"text": "\"There is no such thing as an \"\"average\"\" personal injury settlement in terms of a dollar amount. Aside from there being too many different types of personal injury cases, a potential settlement will depend on the unique facts of each case. This article discusses some of the primary considerations that go into a personal injury settlement and explains why \"\"average\"\" numbers aren't necessarily helpful in trying to guess what a case is worth. To get a rough idea of what a settlement figure might be for an injury claim, try using All Law's Personal Injury Calculator to piece together the main factors and give you a starting point for negotiations. How are Personal Injury Settlements Reached? A personal injury settlement takes place when the person being sued (the defendant, usually through his or her insurer or attorney) agrees to pay the person suing (the plaintiff) some amount to make the plaintiff drop the case. Most personal injury cases end with a settlement, not a jury verdict, and many settle before a lawsuit is even filed. To arrive at a settlement amount, both sides start out by determining on their own what they think the case is worth, i.e. what a jury might give the plaintiff if the case made it all the way to trial. Typically, this is accomplished by researching similar cases and seeing what juries have awarded in the past, and then factoring in any unique circumstances of the current case. If an insurance company is handling the defendant’s case, they might also have predetermined settlement amounts for different types of lawsuits."

"text": "Insurability of Punitive Damages INTRODUCTIONThe intent of this survey is to provide a quick reference guide to the public policy considerations and the legal issues involved in determining whether a particular punitive damage award is insurable. The analysis presumes that such damages would otherwise be afforded coverage, but, of course, many policies exclude such damages. Whether insurance coverage is available for such awards is a vital question for the insured, the insurer, and the insurance broker, as six percent of winning plaintiffs in civil jury trials walk away with punitive damage awards, and some multi-million-dollar punitive damage verdicts soar to over 500 times the amount of jury-awarded compensatory damages. ( U. S. Department of Justice Statistics). However, as the following analysis shows, the fifty states and the District of Columbia have divergent views concerning the insurability of punitive damages. Often referred to as exemplary or vindictive damages, punitive damages serve to compensate the injured and, more commonly, to punish the wrongdoer. Depending on the jurisdiction and cause of action, the standard for awarding punitive damages may range from simple negligence to deliberate intent to harm. Although insurance policy language plays a significant role, particularly in the event that the policy excludes such damages from coverage, public policy is usually the focus of a court’s insurability analysis. Typically, courts that have concluded that punitive damages ought not to be insurable (1) display a general objection to punitive damage awards as windfalls for the plaintiff, (2) believe that insuring punitive damages transfers the burden of the award from the wrongdoer to innocent premium-paying insureds, or (3) object that coverage undercuts the deterrent value of punitive damages. Other courts have approved insurance coverage for punitive damages, finding that (1) the presence of insurance coverage has no impact on the deterrent effect of punitive damages, (2) the expectation of the insured that the policy will cover all awarded damages must be honored, and (3) the acceptance of the premium estops the insurer from denying coverage that arguably exists in the insurance contract."

Related to Legal damages: nominal damages, actual damages, compensatory damages Damages Monetary compensation that is awarded by a court in a civil action to an individual who has beeninjured through the wrongful conduct of another party. Damages attempt to measure in financial terms the extent of harm a plaintiff has suffered because of a defendant's actions. Damages are distinguishable from costs, which are the expenses incurred as a result of bringing a lawsuit and which the court may order the losing party to pay. Damagesalso differ from the verdict, which is the final decision issued by a jury. The purpose of damages is to restore an injured party to the position the party was in before beingharmed. As a result, damages are generally regarded as remedial rather than preventive or punitive. However, Punitive Damages may be awarded for particular types of wrongful conduct. Before an individual can recover damages, the injury suffered must be one recognized by law as warrantingredress, and must have actually been sustained by the individual. The law recognizes three major categories of damages: Compensatory Damages, which areintended to restore what a plaintiff has lost as a result of a defendant's wrongful conduct; nominaldamages, which consist of a small sum awarded to a plaintiff who has suffered no substantial loss or injury but has nevertheless experienced an invasion of rights; and punitive damages, which areawarded not to compensate a plaintiff for injury suffered but to penalize a defendant for particularlyegregious, wrongful conduct."

In in a legal sense, “damages” refers to monetary compensation that is claimed by a person or awarded by a court in a civil action to a person who has been injured or suffered loss because of the wrongful conduct of another party.

R. 534 at para. 39, per La Forest J. )The purpose of damages is, in a tort action, to restore an injured party to the position he was in before being harmed, and, in a contract action, to place the innocent party in the position he would have been in had the contract been performed.

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Injunction'A court order that prevents somebody from doing something specific. An injunction is used by a court when monetary restitution isn't sufficient to remedy the harm. For example, if someone wrecks your car, it's easy to put a monetary damage amount on that. But if someone is threatening to sell a video of you in a compromising situation, it's more important to stop the video from getting out than to quantify the damages. Next Up Tax Court Stare Decisis Collateral Source Rule Punitive Damages BREAKING DOWN 'Injunction'Temporary injunctions are commonly used when a legal issue hasn't been decided yet. For example, let's say a married couple owns a baseball team. That couple is going through a divorce and there is a dispute as to who owns and controls the team. If the husband tried to move the team to another city, the wife would be able to get a temporary injunction to prevent the move until the court decided the ownership issue.

"text": "\"Employment Practices Liability Insurance Law and Legal Definition Employment practices liability (EPL) insurance is a type of coverage that protects businesses from the financial consequences associated with a variety of employment-related lawsuits. EPL may cover lawsuits involving a company's directors and officers, negligence lawsuits affecting a company's human resources department, and liability lawsuits over fiduciary duty. EPL can also protect against charges of racial or age discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, or noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Finally, EPL insurance can help protect businesses against legal conflicts that flare up between employees and third parties, such as vendors or customers, if a third-party coverage endorsement is secured as part of the EPL policy. The market for EPL insurance coverage began to expand with large companies in 1991 and grew rapidly as employment-related lawsuits exploded in the wake of the passage of two important pieces of legislation: the Americans with Disabilities act of 1990 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. As reported by Barbara Bowers in Best's Review, in the 1999–2003 period employees brought more than 403,000 charges under all laws with the Equal Employment Opportunity commission. \"\" The median compensatory jury award for employment practices liability cases,\"\" wrote Bowers, \"\"rose 18% in 2003 to $250,000. About 75% of employee-generated claims are proven groundless, but they are expensive to defend.\"\" The median award in 1997 was around $140,000. The usual cost of defending a groundless action is around $10,000."

"text": "The richest habitat along our Californian rocky shores is the kelp forest. Giant kelp is the largest and fastest growing of all seaweeds and forms the framework for the kelp forest community. It attracts and influences many other species of animals and plants within the forest. Later, when it tears loose as drift kelp, it provides large quantities of food for animals living on the seashore and ocean bottom. Kelp bass, giant kelpfish, garibaldi, norris' top snail, and kelp crabs are all common inhabitants of the kelp forest. Kelp anchors to the rocky bottom with a structure called the holdfast. The holdfast has many crevices and is home to many other animals such as spiny brittlestars and amphipods. The leaf-like kelp blades (also called fronds) provide a large surface area for photosynthesis. On the blades themselves, a bryozoan can grow rapidly and completely cover a kelp blade within 3-4 weeks. Kelp forests are found along the west coasts of North and South America, the southern tip of Africa and Australia, and islands near Antarctica."

"text": "\"The Sciences When Sperm Meets Egg The sex life of sea urchins shows that the answer to fertility is NOBy Julia Karow on August 14, 2000Credit: J. W. Stewart Image: Chris Patton, Stanford University FERTILIZATION is a complex process. The cytoplasm of the sperm contains NOS, which is activated along with the acrosome reaction by contact with egg jelly (yellow); above, the NOS turns green when activated and produces NO (light green spray). Upon fusion with the egg, NOS is released into the egg, whereby the NO produced activates calcium release (red spray). Calcium activates NOS already present in the egg, releasing more NO, which releases more calcium, and so on. In recent years, researchers have learned that nitric oxide (NO) is much more than an air pollutant. Indeed, a 1998 Nobel prize went to the three scientists who found it was a potent signaling molecule in the human body. This versatile gas regulates blood pressure by keeping the arteries open, serves as an important neurotransmitter in the brain and, when produced by white blood cells, battles invading bacteria and parasites. Now, scientists find NO has yet another purpose: it seems to play a crucial role in sex. Since the turn of the century, one of the standing puzzles about how fertilization takes place involved the moment when a sperm enters an egg. For many years, reseachers knew that shortly thereafter, internal calcium ion stores in the egg opened, releasing calcium into the cytoplasm."

The slot-less Sand Dollars ( Echinarachnius parma) found on the coast from Labrador to Maine, and the 5- or 6-slot Keyhole Urchins ( Mellita quinquiesperforata) found on the Southeastern coast are both members of the class Echinoidea. Close kin are the spherical Sea Urchins and Heart Urchins. The class Echinoidea, which contains approximately 950 species worldwide, is characterized by the fact that its members all have numerous mobile spines and a hollow test (or skeleton) made up of fused plates. All species have 20 rows of these plates, two for each of the five rows of tube feet and two for each of the five intervening areas, known as the interambulacra. These rows run from aboral to oral pole (meridionally). “ Regular” Sea Urchins are nearly spherical, whereas “irregular” Sand Dollars are flattened urchins."

Although most kinds of shellfish are harvested from saltwater environments, some kinds are found in freshwater. In addition, a few species of land crabs are eaten, for example Cardisoma guanhumi in the Caribbean. Despite the name, shellfish are not a kind of fish, but are simply water-dwelling animals. Many varieties of shellfish ( crustaceans in particular) are actually closely related to insects and arachnids, making up one of the main classes of the phylum Arthropoda. Cephalopods (squids, octopuses, cuttlefish) and bivalves (clams, oysters) are molluscs, as are Gastropods (aquatic species such as whelks and winkles; also land species such as snails and slugs). Shells are used as a food source by humans include many species of clams, mussels, oysters, winkles, and scallops. Some crustaceans that are commonly eaten are shrimp, lobsters, crayfish, and crabs.

Although they resemble small seals, sea otters are not related to seals. They are actually related to weasels, badgers, and minks. They belong to the family \"\"Mustelidae\"\" and the species \"\"Enhydra lutris,\"\" from the Greek \"\"en hydra,\"\" meaning \"\"in the water,\"\" and the Latin \"\"lutris,\"\" meaning otter. There are three subspecies of the sea otter: the southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis), the Alaskan sea otter (Enhydra lutris lutris), and the Asian sea otter (Enhydra lutris gracilis). The main difference between the three subspecies is the shape of the skull and the size of the otter (Alaskan otters tend to be larger). There are also other types of otters, such as the river otter, but sea otters are distinctly different from other otters. They are adapted to living their entire lives in the water, whereas other otters live on land and merely hunt in water. Unlike other marine mammals, such as seals and dolphins, sea otters do not rely on a layer of fat to insulate their bodies from the cold water. Instead, they have a thick fur which keeps them warm."

The Purple Sea Urchin grazes on rocks in hope to satisfy its appetite. © David Monniaux Scientific Name: Strongylocentrotus purpuratus Common Name: The Purple Sea Urchin General Information: The purple sea urchins are equipped with a test which is made up of calcium carbonate and then covered with skin which protects the sea urchins internal organs. The calcite which is used to keep the plates of the endoskeleton together is rich in magnesium, therefore allowing the endoskeleton to strengthen. Although, it might seem as though they have an external skeleton, these species do not have external skeletons, but, rather, possess a mesoderm endoskeleton. The purple sea urchin has a mouth with five teeth underneath its body so it can graze on kelp quite easily. The excretion organs are located at the top of their body and therefore waste is omitted at the top of the urchin. These organisms posses spines that are used for both protection and locomotion. Furthermore, all sea urchins also possess tube feet."

Nature has given many species a built-in safeguard from their predators, and some have no protection at all. An earthworm, for example has no guard against the birds that would scoop them up and swallow them whole. A marigold flower was gifted with a bad odor to ward off many animals that would eat them, but is this odor enough of a defense to guard against all predators? No, it is not. There are some animals that would just hold their noses… and some were given no great smelling ability to begin with, so they would not care. There are some living things that have inoculations that will preserve them from being endangered. They will not be on the endangered list for a long, long time.1."

Scientific classification Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Echinodermata Class: Echinoidea Superorder: Gnathostomata Order: Clypeasteroida The Sand dollars are species of flattened, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida. Echinarachnius parma, the Common Sand Dollar, is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, from the intertidal zone to considerable depths. Sand dollars can be found in temperate and tropical zones, but not in Great Britain. [ 1] p76All sand dollars have a rigid skeleton known as a test. This is the typical white disk found washed up on beaches. The living animals have a skin of movable spines on the test. Movement is done by the action of the spines. Like other sea urchins, sand dollars have five paired rows of pores. The pores are arranged in a petal-like pattern."

"text": "Echinoderms: Sea Stars, Crinoids, Brittle Stars, Basket Stars, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars By Dive Training Phylum: Echinodermata (spiny-skin)Whether you are a newly certified diver (if so, we offer our congratulations) or an old salt (good for you, too), odds are you are familiar with the animals known as echinoderms. Of course, you might not realize it because most of us use other names when referring to the animals described in the phylum Echinodermata (ik I NO DERM at uh). We use names such as sea star, sea cucumber, sea urchin and sand dollar. So your familiarity with the members of this phylum might range from the joy of first learning about sand dollars to the pain of getting punctured by a sea urchin. In between you probably have marveled at the beauty of a brightly colored crinoid or feeding basket star and made a questioning face upon seeing a sea cucumber. If you are like a lot of people, you recognize many of these animals but don’t realize that they are closely related to one another and to brittle stars, crinoids (also known as feather stars and sea lilies) and basket stars. Well, live and keep on learning. A good diver always does. An ancient group of marine animals, echinoderms are very well-known from fossil records. Today, there are about 6,000 living species and all are bottom dwelling, or benthic, animals that live in saltwater ecosystems."

It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura scraps ( tenkasu ), pickled ginger, and green onion.

Are finger monkey’s fact or fiction? You decide. The pictures of the finger monkeys are obviously infants observing the faces and the closed eyes. I use to tour zoos when I was still able to get around before my accident. While I was at the Duluth Zoo in Duluth Minnesota I saw a marmoset for the first time ever in the zoo Primate Conservation Center, which I would like to add the Primate Conservation Center, is amazing. The animal I believe to be the finger monkey or thumb monkey is the pygmy marmoset that comes from tropical forests of South America. The pygmy marmoset’s average lifespan is around 15 years. The marmoset lives about 25 years. They are of the callitrichid family."

"text": "\"monkey Facts Portrait of a Howler Monkey Monkeys, gibbons and apes are all primates, but belong in different families. The most obvious difference between monkeys and apes is that apes do not have tails. A few isolated monkey species do not have tails either, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The great apes, which are the human being, the orangutan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo, are much larger than monkeys and much more highly evolved. The gibbon, which has many aspects of both monkeys and apes, is truly its own separate creature, although it is often lumped in with either apes or monkeys by virtue of many different arguments, both scientific and not so scientific. We have separated the gibbons and offer their own article. We have also separated the baboon into it's own page because it is so well known, but the baboon is in fact an Old World monkey with the customary large size and non-prehensile tail.. Monkeys are highly intelligent and active primates that are broken into two groups known as Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. The Old World monkeys (including baboons) inhabit Africa and Asia, and are more closely related to apes. They are generally larger than New World monkeys, have more elongated faces, and have a tail that is not \"\"prehensile\"\". New world monkeys are five families of primates that inhabit Central America, South America and some parts of Mexico."

"text": "\"The Amazon's idlyllic temperature and moist climate allow all manner of life to thrive. If you’re looking for breathtaking beauty, mind-bending adventure – and the opportunity to observe a great many wild creatures in their natural habitats – you can do no better than to take a trip to Amazonia, the most biodiverse tropical rainforest on earth. The rainforest is inhabited by 1,800 kinds of fish, 1,300 bird species, 311 mammal species and 165 types of amphibians in distinct ecosystems. It’s not a trip for the timid, but those who dare will have the journey of a lifetime. Big River The Amazon River is at least 4,000 miles long, extending from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 1,000 tributaries branching out along the way. The Amazon Basin sprawls over 2.6 million square miles, almost all of which is covered by rainforest. Although the Amazon River is most associated with Brazil, this nation’s development and industrialization have led to a decreasing wildlife population. You can enjoy a river cruise in Brazil and see quite a few animals. But don’t make Brazil your only stop; you’re likely to spot more wildlife in Peru or Ecuador. Cruise From Manaus, Brazil Manaus, a city of 1.8 million people in the rainforest of northwestern Brazil on the banks of the Negro River, is a popular destination as well as departure point for travels deeper into the interior."

"text": "\"Cotton-top tamarin The cotton-top tamarin ( Saguinus oedipus) is a small New World monkey weighing less than 0.5 kg (1.1 lb). One of the smallest primates, the cotton-top tamarin is easily recognized by the long white sagittal crest extending from its forehead to its shoulders. The species is found in tropical forest edges and secondary forests in northwestern Colombia where it is arboreal and diurnal. Its diet includes insects and plant exudates and it is an important seed disperser in the tropical ecosystem. The cotton-top tamarin displays a wide variety of social behaviors. In particular, groups form a clear dominance hierarchy where only dominant pairs breed. The female normally gives birth to twins and uses pheromones to prevent other females in the group from breeding. These tamarins have been extensively studied for their high level of cooperative care, as well as altruistic and spiteful behaviors. Communication between cotton-top tamarins is sophisticated and shows evidence of grammatical structure, a language feature that must be acquired. It is thought that up to 40,000 cotton-top tamarins were caught and exported for use in biomedical research before 1976 when CITES gave them the highest level of protection and all international trade was banned."

Babbling begins shortly after birth and progresses through several stages as the infant's repertoire of sounds expands and vocalizations become more speech-like. [ 1] Infants typically begin to produce recognizable words when they are around 12 months of age, though babbling may continue for some time afterward. [ 2] Babbling can be seen as a precursor to language development or simply as vocal experimentation. The physical structures involved in babbling are still being developed in the first year of a child's life. [ 3] This continued physical development is responsible for some of the changes in abilities and variations of sound babies can produce. Abnormal developments such as certain medical conditions, developmental delays, and hearing impairments may interfere with a child's ability to babble normally. Though there is still disagreement about the uniqueness of language to humans, babbling is not unique to the human species.

Most people are excited about the prospect about bringing a new goat to the homestead, but it can be confusing on which breed to choose. Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goats seem VERY similar and to the novice goat owner, and it’s easy to get them confused.

It can be found in Brazil, Peru, Columbia and Ecuador. Pygmy marmosets live in dense, tropical rainforests, lowland forests and areas that are flooded for more than three months during the year. Number of pygmy marmosets in the wild is still stable. Luckily, these animals are not severely affected by habitat loss (which is the major threat for most animals). Other than habitat loss, normal behavior of pygmy marmosets in the wild is disturbed by tourist expeditions. Pet trade is another factor that affects number of pygmy marmosets. Interesting Pygmy marmoset Facts: Pygmy marmosets are tiny animals that can fit into human palm. Females are slightly larger than males. On average, pygmy marmoset reaches between 4.75 and 6 inches in length and weight between 3.53 and 4 ounces."

From the tiny pygmy marmoset (the world’s smallest monkey) to the howler monkey, whose calls can be heard several miles away, monkeys play a vital part in the forest ecosystem. The Monkey’s Place In The Food Chain Most Amazon Rainforest monkeys are mainly herbivorous, with a diet of fruits, nuts, flowers and leaves. Some species, notably marmosets, eat the sap from trees. Many species also eat insects, and the diets of some species include crabs and shellfish. Monkeys are preyed on by snakes, ocelots, jaguars, and birds of prey such as the harpy eagle. Monkeys are also hunted by native tribes. New World monkeys (monkeys found in North, Central and South America) tend to have flat noses, with nostrils that face away from each other."

"text": "Pyrethrins can make your itty bitty kitty very sick. Your adult cat, too. Insecticides can be dangerous any time they're not used right, but pyrethrins and cats are an especially dangerous combination. Cats simply can't handle more than very tiny amounts of pyrethrin, and the toxic reaction can be severe. Pyrethrins and Permethrin Pyrethrins are a natural substance extracted from chrysanthemums. If you use them in the right strength and amount, they are generally safe for your cat. Permethrins are the man-made version of pyrethrins. They are usually very concentrated, and although they are safe for dogs, they are usually too potent for cats. In addition, your cat's liver cannot process either pyrethrins or permethrins easily, so the chance of poisoning is high. Uses Both pyrethrins and permethrins kill fleas and ticks."

Ticks and mites are the most common external parasites found on reptiles, and can infest lizards, snakes, and chelonians (turtles and tortoises). There are 7 genera of ticks and over 250 species of mites that affect reptiles, including chiggers. \"\" Acariasis\"\" is the medical term for an infestation with mites or ticks. How do ticks and mites cause disease? Ticks and mites both feed on the blood of reptiles, and if the infestation is severe, they may cause anemia. Ticks can also transmit a number of diseases and may spread various protozoan parasites that live in the blood stream. Ticks from other continents, such as Africa, may pose special dangers if they get into the environment. They may carry diseases, such as heartwater, that are devastating to other animals such as farm livestock and wildlife. They can also carry diseases that can be transmitted to people, such as Lyme disease."

"text": "\"General Guidelines Treatment for head lice is recommended for persons diagnosed with an active infestation. All household members and other close contacts should be checked; those persons with evidence of an active infestation should be treated. Some experts believe prophylactic treatment is prudent for persons who share the same bed with actively-infested individuals. All infested persons (household members and close contacts) and their bedmates should be treated at the same time. Some pediculicides (medicines that kill lice) have an ovicidal effect (kill eggs). For pediculicides that are only weakly ovicidal or not ovicidal, routine retreatment is recommended. For those that are more strongly ovicidal, retreatment is recommended only if live (crawling) lice are still present several days after treatment (see recommendation for each medication). To be most effective, retreatment should occur after all eggs have hatched but before new eggs are produced. When treating head lice, supplemental measures can be combined with recommended medicine (pharmacologic treatment); however, such additional (non-pharmacologic) measures generally are not required to eliminate a head lice infestation. For example, hats, scarves, pillow cases, bedding, clothing, and towels worn or used by the infested person in the 2-day period just before treatment is started can be machine washed and dried using the hot water and hot air cycles because lice and eggs are killed by exposure for 5 minutes to temperatures greater than 53.5°C (128.3°F)."

Having fleas is definitely harmful to geriatric cats! Cats that have fleas almost always have tapeworms and can get some nasty diseases that are carried by fleas such as red blood cell parasites/infections and Bartonella infections (cat scratch disease). There are at least two products that are not absorbed into the body: imidacloprid (stays in the oil on the surface of the skin) and fipronil (does enter oil glands, but goes not further). These are safe for geriatrics as long as they don't ingest them. Some cats do not like the carriers that these products are in or the scents that have been added to the products and can be upset by this for some time after application. It is also very important that the products are applied on the back of the neck on cats, not over the shoulders as on dogs. If applied over the shoulders, cats can turn around and lick the area the product was applied on and ingest the product. The other ways that spot on products can be ingested after application is a housemate grooming the product off of another cat or dog or the cats scratching the spot the product was applied and then grooming the product off of the foot. Organophosphates and pyrethrins are not very safe for any cat, although pyrethrins are safer than organophosphates."

However, ferrets that are allowed to go outside may go down holes that have been occupied by wild animals, such as groundhogs, rabbits, and squirrels, and can acquire different species of fleas. Fortunately, all fleas are susceptible to the same treatments. Fleas bite and suck blood from the wounds they make, causing anemia. They cause itchy skin and sometimes allergies that make the hair fall out. Ferrets are such small animals that they can be seriously debilitated by a heavy flea burden. It is easy to prove to yourself that fleas ingest blood. Simply comb out of the animal's coat some of the black fecal droppings left by the fleas, and sprinkle them on a damp paper towel. Immediately the paper will turn red with the pet's partly digested blood. Some species of fleas transmit bubonic plague in the south western United States."

Pyrethrins can cause paralysis in insects on contact. Chrysanthemum oil by itself may not be strong enough to kill the insect, especially large insects like wasps. Commercial pesticides add other plant compounds to make the pyrethrins more toxic to wasps. Chrysanthemum oil can be effective for immobilizing wasps long enough to safely remove or destroy a wasp nest. Frozen Insects Most insects will be paralyzed on contact with low concentrations of pyrethrins, so even diluted chrysanthemum oil may immobilize wasps immediately. However, wasps are often able to metabolize the pyrethrins and recover. Chrysanthemum oil is more effective at killing small insects such as ants, aphids or fleas because they are affected by a smaller concentration than larger insects such as wasps. The wasp must come into direct contact with the chrysanthemum oil to be immobilized. Spraying the nest will have no effect on wasps."

"text": "Pets Cats Why is permethrin toxic to cats but not dogs? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Cats and dogs metabolize things differently - a cat's liver cannot break down the permethrin and it becomes toxic. Source (s): Many years of cat rescue J C · 5 years ago0 0 Commentermethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide. Pyrethroids are synthetic analogues of pyrethrins which are naturally occurring substances extracted from Chrysanthemum flowers. Permethrin is a neurotoxin that works by binding to and blocking open sodium channels on the surface of nerve cells. This interferes with nerve function by causing the nerve cells to discharge repetitively. Cats are highly sensitive to permethrin and are more likely to develop signs of toxicity than dogs. Permethrin is metabolized (broken down by) the liver. It is suspected that cats may be more likely to develop permethrin toxicity because they have different liver metabolic pathways to other species — in particular, they have a deficiency in the enzyme hepatic glucuronosyl transferase.

Pyrethroids constitute the majority of commercial household insecticides. [ 1] In the concentrations used in such products, they may also have insect repellent properties and are generally harmless to humans. Contents [ hide ]1 Mode of action2 Pesticide formulation3 History4 Classes of pyrethroids4.1 Types5 Environmental effects6 Biodegration7 Safety and effectiveness7.1 Resistance8 References Mode of action [ edit]Pyrethroids are axonic excitoxins, the toxic effects of which are mediated through preventing the closure of the voltage-gatedsodium channels in the axonal membranes. The sodium channel is a membrane protein with a hydrophilic interior. This interior is a tiny hole which is shaped precisely to strip away the partially charged water molecules from a sodium ion and create a favorable way for sodium ions to pass through the membrane, enter the axon, and propagate an action potential. When the toxin keeps the channels in their open state, the nerves cannot repolarize, leaving the axonal membrane permanently depolarized, thereby paralyzing the organism. [ 2]Pesticide formulation [ edit]Pyrethroids can be combined with the synergist piperonyl butoxide, a known inhibitor of key microsomal cytochrome P450enzymes from metabolizing the pyrethroid, which increases its efficacy (lethality).

Park Brown 2Ideally, insecticides and fungicides should reduce insect and disease problems; be target-specific (kill the pest, but not other organisms); break down quickly; have low mammalian toxicity; and have minimal impact on the environment. Although synthetic products (e.g., pyrethroids and neonicotinoids) have long been an important part of pest management, there are risks to using them. As a result of this, as well as the increased interest in organic gardening, many people are seeking less hazardous alternatives to conventional pesticides. Lists of products that are acceptable in organic plant production can be found at the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) ( http://www.omri.org/omri-lists/download ). This publication describes “natural” pesticides—alternatives that are usually less toxic to non-target organisms and the environment and that, when used correctly, can be effective substitutes for synthetic products. In this publication, natural substances used for pest management in landscapes and gardens are grouped into oils, plant extracts, insecticidal soaps, mineral insecticides, microbial insecticides, and products that control diseases. Certain products contain combinations of these groups (e.g., soap and oil). Some general traits of natural products include the following: Fast breakdown. Most natural products degrade rapidly in sunlight, air, and moisture, and when they are exposed to insect detoxification enzymes. Rapid breakdown means these products do not persist long in the environment, which reduces risks to nontarget organisms."

These rather-common insect parasites pose a variety of problems for pets and pet owners including:flea bites - adult fleas bite pets and humans, causing pain, redness and itching of the bite site;flea allergy dermatitis - pets who are severely allergic to flea saliva can become so itchy (pruritic) as a result of flea bites that they literally tear their skin and fur apart with their scratching and chewing activities;coat damage - breeding and showing pets (e.g. poultry, cats) can be penalised in the show ring if their fur (or plumage) is damaged by scratching and over-grooming activities or if it bears the evidence (fleas, flea dirt) of flea parasite infestation;skin disease - flea infested skin that is traumatized by flea bites and by animal scratching and biting activities can become secondarily infected with nasty, itchy, skin bacteria;anemia - heavy flea infestations can suck so much blood from their animal host that the host can weaken and even die from severe blood loss (anaemia);infectious disease transmission - many infectious diseases including: feline infectious anemia (FIA or Mycoplasma hemofelis ), bubonic plague ( Yersinia pestis ), flea tapeworms ( Dipylidium caninum ), Dipetalonema reconditum, feline parvovirus, murine typhus ( Rickettsia typhi ), Rickettsia felis, rabbit myxomatosis and certain avian (bird) blood diseases can be transmitted from animal to animal by flea parasites.annoyance - most owners don't like to see or hear their pets scratching, particularly at night when the repetitive ' chink, chink, chink ' of a collar or chain keeps them awake;gross-out factor - the sight of insects crawling through a pet's fur is revolting and off-putting to many people who see such infestations as a sign of ' dirtiness ' (even though perfectly clean pets can and do get fleas of course);zoonosis - fleas from pets can infest humans, inflicting painful bites and causing itchiness of the skin and scalp. Because of the many problems posed by fleas (above), there is, naturally, a lot of vested interest in the control and prevention of flea parasites, both in the home and commercially. Many millions of dollars are spent each year in the manufacture and production of newer, safer, better flea control and flea killing products and, in their turn, pet owners and commercial producersof animals (animal breeders, animal showers, poultry farmers, rabbit producers and so on) spend even moremillions buying these newer, better, safer flea prevention products in the hope of preventing and/or eradicating their flea infestation problems. In order for pet owners and commercial animal producers to fully grasp how it is that flea infestations can become so large and so persistent, it is important for themto understand the flea life cycle. In particular, they need to know how and where theflea parasite reproduces and also where the juvenile forms (egg, larva, pupa) of the lifecycle hide outand evade treatment. The flea life cycle is very important to know if a flea infestationis to be controlled adequately and permanently (after all, much of the flea life cycle occurs in the animal's environment, not on the animal itself, and so environmental flea control is very important). The fleas life cycle can provide important clues as to why a particular flea control regime is not working and an explanation as to why the fleas keep on coming back. The flea life cycle forms the basis of it all for it is the complete cycle of a flea's existence: from egg to larval stage (three larval stages) to pupa to adult stage, to egg stage again with the next generation."

The use of pyrethrins and pyrethroids has increased during the past decade with the declining use of organophosphate pesticides, which are more acutely toxic to birds and mammals than the pyrethroids. This change to less acutely toxic pesticides, while generally beneficial, has introduced certain new issues. For example, residential uses of pyrethrins and pyrethroids may result in urban runoff, potentially exposing aquatic life to harmful levels in water and sediment. Pyrethrins are botanical insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers most commonly found in Australia and Africa. They work by altering nerve function, which causes paralysis in target insect pests, eventually resulting in death.

It’s important that you do your research carefully before using any product on your pets that has not been explicitly prescribed for them, and this is particularly the case with flea and tick treatments. Cats and dogs have different physiologies and these products affect them differently. Canine formulations of flea and tick preventive products can be lethal for cats, so you can not use the same medication on your dog as your cat -- unless it has been specifically formulated for both species. There are some products that come in both a cat and dog version, but you still need to read the labels carefully to make sure you are using a product that is labeled for use in cats before applying it on, or giving it to your cat. Cats can become very ill and even die from an incorrect application of dog flea and tick treatment. The following are some of the more common products on the market.

Animals also have faster metabolisms and smaller lungs than we do. Their bodies have to work harder to try and eliminate these toxins. Not only are they processing these chemicals at a faster rate, they are also breathing them in more rapidly.

The group includes insecticides, used against insects and related creatures of various types; fungicides, which control many plant diseases; and herbicides, which kill weeds. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (E. P. A.) has strict rules for pesticide classification and labeling. Because all pesticides can be dangerous if used incorrectly, the regulations apply both to products we think of as quite benign (such as soap sprays) and to those so toxic they can be applied only in tightly controlled situations by persons certified to use them. When you buy any pesticide, read the label carefully. Check the product’s common name (the name listed on the label under “active ingredients”), which often differs from the trade name; the insecticide carbaryl is marketed under the trade name Sevin, for example. In this book, we refer to pesticides by common name. Also look for the signal word on the label; it will give you an idea of a product’s immediate toxicity. The four signal words are “caution,” “warning,” “danger,” and “poison”; “caution” indicates the lowest toxicity, “poison” the highest."

Nearly all the eagle species are greater than any other raptor apart from vultures. These birds of prey have sharp hooked beaks and with their powerful muscles and talons they tear the prey apart. Eagles are known for their sharp eyesight and they’re capable to spot their prey at great distances. Like all raptors, females are larger in size in comparison to the males. What Do Different Types of Eagles Eat What Do Bald Eagles Eat Do you know what do American bald eagles eat? Bald eagles are carnivores and they are opportunistic feeders."

On Sept. 19-22, 1882, the fair hosted its first agricultural, industrial and recreational exhibition. Always a primary agricultural attraction, the county fair has displayed new farming equipment and methods, animals, produce and handicrafts on its current site. Over the years, many volunteer hours have been dedicated to preserving an American heritage, “the county fair. ”The fair association owes many thanks to these volunteers as well as thanks to many civic organizations, local businesses and governmental agencies. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Tuscola County Fair Association may contact any member of the Board of Directors for information.

History of Rabbits in Australia In 1859, a man named Thomas Austin, a landowner in Winchelsea, Victoria imported 24 wild rabbits from England and released them into the wild for sport hunting. Within a number of years, those 24 rabbits multiplied into millions. By the 1920s, less than 70 years since its introduction, the rabbit population in Australia ballooned to an estimated 10 billion, reproducing at a rate of 18 to 30 per single female rabbit per year. The rabbits started to migrate across Australia at a rate of 80 miles a year.

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

If you've ever flown in an airplane over a very dry location, such as the western United States, you've probably noticed that you can pick out where the rivers and streams are by looking for the green vegetation that tends to grow along the riverbanks. It is certainly true that wherever there is water, there are plants. This picture suggests that maybe livestock congregate near exposed water, too (wouldn't you if you had to stand out in a hot field all day?). Often farmers who raise cattle and other livestock construct livestock-watering ponds to accommodate the watering needs of their animals. Water is needed to raise livestock, be it cows, chickens, horses, or rabbits. Livestock water use is water associated with livestock watering, feedlots, dairy operations, and other on-farm needs. This includes water for raising cows, chickens, horses, rabbits, fish, and pets, and also water used in the production of meats, poultry, eggs, and milk.

"text": "The word “livestock” is an umbrella term used for domesticated animals raised in an agricultural environment, with the intent of providing food, textiles, labor, or fertilizer to their owners. Common examples are horses, pigs, goats, cows, sheep, and poultry, although numerous other semi-wild animals including reindeer, yaks, camels, and emus could also be considered livestock. Humans have coexisted with domesticated animals for centuries, and the rise of farming and keeping animals probably contributed to a major shift in human culture. The word can be taken to have several meanings, depending on interpretation. Livestock is sometimes referred to as “stock,” in shorthand, reflecting the idea that the animals are property in addition to living beings. These animals are both living stock, or inventory, and the stock, or basis, of life for farmers and the people who rely on them. Raising animals is an important part of life for people all over the world. Purely domesticated animals such as cows and horses are radically different than their wild counterparts. In some cases, the wild ancestors of domesticated livestock are actually extinct, because humans have selectively bred domesticated versions for so long. Domesticated livestock would probably have difficulty surviving in the wild, because it has been bred to be smaller and more docile than a wild animal would be."

Manure is an excellent source of nutrients for growing plants and should never be placed in the garden unless allowed to compost first. Fresh manure is high in nitrogen and will burn plants. By composting, you are allowing the heat of that nitrogen to break down all the nutrients, kill off fly eggs and weed seeds, and reduce manure run-off into waterways. Composted manure can be ready for your garden in about three weeks. Consider dividing your compost area into three separate areas or bins. This allows you to have one bin of compost ready to use, one in the break-down stage and one to shovel new manure into. Keep the bins close to the stable for easy access, if applicable, and away from low-lying areas near creeks or other water sources. Shovel manure into your bed. Add only the manure from livestock, horses, chickens, rabbits or other herbivorous animals."

While there are a variety of fruits your rabbit can safely eat, there are a few that you should steer away from feeding. There are also parts of popular fruits that might poison your bunny. Luckily, most of the fruits you might grow or commonly find at the grocery store are perfect for your bunnies. We like to offer our rabbits fruit as a small part of their diet because it’s always a good idea to offer your livestock a variety of foods to meet their nutritional requirements. It’s also a lot of fun to watch them get excited at the possibility of treats. Fruits, in particular, are great training tools since rabbits love the natural sugars.

The ears are involved in heat regulation... The vascularization of the ears can change from minute to minute, with the ears being cold if the bunny is trying to conserve heat (or possibly hypothermic) or warm if the bunny is trying to dissipate heat (or has a fever). So basically what that means is that when its cold out and your bunny is exposed to the cold, he tried to conserve all the heat he can in his body. This makes the vessels in the ear constrict, making them cold. Kind of like when you are outside and its cold, the first thing that really gets cold are your extremities (hands, feet, etc) because your body is trying to keep its core (your mid-section, which basically means your organs) warm."

Leporids range in mass from 300 grams (1.4 lbs) in pygmy rabbits to 5 kilograms (11 lbs) in arctic hares. Adult head and body length ranges from 250 to 700 mm. Unlike most mammals, females are usually larger than males. Color patterns vary between species and across seasons, and range from black to reddish brown to white. Leporids are widely distributed and have adapted to a broad range of habitat types. They can be found throughout the world with very few exceptions. Habitat type affects pelage color as well as litter size. Some leporids are extremely social, living in large communal dens, while others are solitary, coming together in groups or pairs for mating purposes only.

This is because as prey animals, they would be permanently wary of any possible predators in the wild. Wild rabbits with a poor sense of hearing will not last very long in nature. In addition to this, rabbits use their ears to maintain their body temperature. If the rabbit becomes too warm, heat is lost through the ears. Healthy rabbits do not generally need any human intervention. That is to say that you will not need to clean them, although regular checking is necessary for good rabbit care.

The best way to know what is normal for your rabbit is to take its temperature at several different times (on different days and different hours). Also, becoming familiar and adept with the procedure of taking the temperature will reduce stress for both you and your rabbit and lend a “more normal” reading. Unfortunately, many people are much more uncomfortable with the idea of taking the temperature than the rabbit is—rabbits don’t have modesty issues with the use of a rectal thermometer. Rather the act of being restrained or turned on their back is what makes a rabbit uncomfortable with the whole procedure. Although your veterinarian will probably take your rabbit’s temperature while it is standing up, our fosterers find it far easier to take the temperature while the rabbit is cradled on its back in a person’s arms. This allows visibility of the area, easy viewing of the temperature gauge and, perhaps most importantly, minimizes the chance of the rabbit jumping and injuring itself while the thermometer is inserted."

It is so exciting and you can’t wait to see how many there are, but you dare not touch the babies because the mom will reject her kits. Wrong! I routinely handle my babies just after they are born and have never had a mom reject her kits. Domestic rabbits are quite use to human scents and being around humans. Even though some of them will be annoyed with you, they will still take care of their babies. This baby rabbit is newly born It’s very important to keep newborn rabbits warm. If “core temp” of the nestbox should be around 100 degrees for the first week of the kits life. This is achieved if the doe made a good nest and the room temperature is 60-75 degrees."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I'm so glad you're looking into getting a rabbit to add to your family! They're very sweet once they warm up to you, and my own rabbit acts like a little puppy dog...cuddling and nudging my leg to play and licking my face. They're definitely not boring creatures that sit there...they've got personality and bit of sass to boot! As for what type of rabbits to keep as pets, there's a bunch of different breeds to choose from! I myself have a dwarf mix, but many people enjoy keeping lops (Holland lop, mini lop), Dutch rabbits, and mini-Rexes as pets as well. Here's a list of breeds and some tidbits about each one: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/critters... And another: http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/resources... Also, before you get a rabbit, please check out http://rabbit.org/ so you know exactly how to care for your new friend. Also, try to look into adoption, since that will definitely be saving the life of a bunny. They're just as adorable as a new baby rabbit, and tons more fun since they already come with their own quirky personality. Plus, they come spayed or neutered. :)"

"text": "\"How To Tan A Hide Using Several Methods I read a post recently by a guy that had finished tanning a deer hide for his daughter. He said it was a fairly long ordeal (and he probably wouldn’t ever do it again), but it turned out beautifully and he had a picture to prove it. The hide looked very soft and flexible and hung limp like a blanket over the bed. So thanks to “livbucks” from PA. for providing the initial motivation for me to try my hand at tanning a complete hide. I like the idea of DIY or as I would say, DIOY (doing-it-your-own-self) and I also like the idea of not wasting the hide and am glad to see that there are many other people that feel the same way. I am encouraged to see so many people on websites and forums that are keeping old skills like how to tan a hide alive. Chances are, if you are reading this, you are a do-it-yourself person too. I mostly hunt public land with Over-the-Counter tags. I usually hunt by myself, but sometimes my wife goes with me."

It is believed to be the first breed of lop rabbit developed by humans, [1] and it may be one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbit. [ 2] Averaging 11 pounds (5.5 kg), the English Lop is characterized by its distinctively long lop ears, bold head, and large body size.

During the Victorian era, the English Lop emerged as a mainstream household pet, [3] marking a departure for such \"\"fancy\"\" breeds from the earlier role of the domesticated rabbit as a source of meat, fur, and wool production. Later, the English Lop was bred with other rabbit breeds from the continent, giving rise to new lop breeds that include the French Lop (from English Lop / Flemish Giant crosses) and the Holland Lop (from French Lop / Netherland Dwarf crosses). Appearance [ edit]This breed is the original Lop. These rabbits are longer and of a more slender build than their other Lop cousins and they are most noted by their characteristically long lop ears, which can be anywhere from 21\"\" to 32\"\" (tip to tip) the largest of any rabbit breed."

Their habitats range from eastern and southern Mexico through Belize and Costa Rica in Central America and down as far south as Ecuador and southern Brazil in South America. To many people, kinkajous look like a cross between a bear cub in the face, an otter in the body, and a monkey with its long tail, with the curiosity of a raccoon, but they can have the playful personality to match all four, although they are usually often incredibly sweet and docile. Even though they have prehensile tails and sometimes look and act like monkeys, kinkajous are actually members of the Procyonid family and are related to their bearlike cousins - raccoons, coatimundis, ringtailed cats, cacomistles, olingos, red pandas and panda bears. Names Because they are nocturnal, kinkajous are sometimes called \"\"Nightwalkers\"\", but because of their honey colored fur and their love of honey, they are more often known as \"\"Honeybears\"\". ( I call Osito our \"\"living teddy bear\"\"!)

For others raccoons are murderous vandals which pose a serious risk to the health and safety of their pets. So which is it? There can be no doubt that the question is becoming ever more important, as raccoons are coming into contact with humans and their pets more and more often - and not just in north America. For once human-raccoon interaction is not caused so much by humans invading the raccoon habitat as by raccoons invading ours. Raccoons are very adaptable animals and they have been moving from country to the city in large numbers. Like humans the raccoons find urban life offers convenience and easy access to food.

"text": "Many people think that a raccoon that is outside and active during daylight hours has rabies. People know that coons are nocturnal animals, and usually only active at nighttime. So if a raccoon is out and about during the day instead of night, something is wrong, right? While it is true that a rabid raccoon will exhibit a variety of unusual behaviors, activity during daytime is most definitely not a guaranteed indicator of rabies. You see, although raccoons are primarily nocturnal, they do often get some stuff done during the day. It is not at all unusual for a raccoon to be active in the middle of the day. They can't just sleep from dawn to dusk without doing anything. They may go off in search of food or drink. This is especially true of nursing female raccoons, who have a bunch of babies to take care of, and who have extra nutritional requirements, because they are nursing their young. In the spring, you're sure to see some mother raccoons gathering extra food during the daytime, so that they can produce more milk."

Raccoons are native to North America, and their range extends partially into Central America as well. Because raccoons are extremely intelligent and highly adaptable, they are familiar animals to many people in North America, even those living in cities, as raccoons are quite capable of surviving in the urban environment. Raccoon is mostly nocturnal. It is also solitary, except for mothers and their young. In the winter the raccoon may sleep in its den for a few weeks but it does not hibernate. The raccoon lives in wooded areas near water. It is very adaptable though and is also found in suburbs and cities. It usually makes its den in a tree, but it may make its home in an abandoned woodchuck burrow, a cave, barn, sewer, or even a house! The raccoon is omnivorous and opportunistic."

Find interesting facts about their behavior, habitat, diet, and more. Raccoon Facts Description The raccoon (also spelled racoon) is easily recognizable by its mask and ringed tail and is often referred to as a \"\"masked bandit\"\". The mask may enhance its vision at night and is also believed to reduce glare when camouflaging itself from predators. Its bushy tail, about 8-12 inches in length, is used as a fat storage (particularly during the winter time), to balance itself when climbing, and to brace itself when sitting up. The average weight of a raccoon is 12-20 pounds. Their front paws are very sensitive and manipulative. They can identify an object before touching it (because of special hairs above their claws) and have the ability to open jars, garbage cans, doors, and even complex locks. Their back legs are short compared to their torso, making it difficult for them to run quickly or jump great distances and their hind feet can rotate (point backwards), making it easy for them to climb down a tree headfirst. Raccoons can cool their bodies by sweating and panting."

Many animals move into homes looking for food or shelter and end up getting a little too comfortable. The most common of these noise-causing animals are rodents (rats and mice), bats, birds, raccoons and squirrels. Bat Scratching Sounds in the Attic or Walls When bats enter homes through small holes, sometimes they get stuck in the walls. Once in the walls, bats make scratching and squeaking sounds, as they tend to become disoriented when trying to get unstuck. Since bats are nocturnal animals, you will most likely hear these animal noises at night when the bats are most active. In order to stop these annoying scratching sounds, a Critter Control professional should come out to your home, identify where the scratching sounds are coming from within the walls and determine the best solution for removing the bat. Bats are also known for forming colonies inside attics, which can lead to significant damage to your home."

"text": "Mother Raccoon with Babies10.03.2008 - Raccoons are excellent mothers. They take great care of their babies. When the babies are young, they stay in a nest while the mother raccoon goes and forages for extra food to make enough milk to feed them. After about twelve weeks, the young have grown large enough that they start to follow the mother outside of the nest area (the nest is usually in a tree hollow or an attic) and outside, where they learn from her how to forage for food, and where are the best places to go. They are weaned by 16 weeks. The young stay with her for some time, up to nine months, and finally go off on their own. Although a female raccoon can give birth to up to eight pups (though four is average), by the nine months after birth, there's usually only two or so left. She then finds a new mate. In the above photo I've actually used a litter of pups as bait to catch the mother raccoon. This is a very common tactic that I employ when I am getting raccoons out of an attic."

Their fur is grayish brown with a bushy banded tail and black masked face. Raccoons appear to flourish in places where humans have developed the land. They are highly adaptable, extremely intelligent animals that live well in cities, suburbs, and rural environments. Raccoons are omnivorous and will eat almost anything from fish, insects, eggs, and young mammals to fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Most active at night, raccoons sometimes also forage for food by day. They will make their nests almost anywhere—in tree cavities, brush piles, abandoned burrows, chimneys, attics, crawl spaces, storm sewers, haystacks, and barn lofts—and usually have more than one den site available for use at any one time. Raccoons are as intelligent as dogs and cats, and their front limbs provide them with great manual dexterity. They have routines for food and shelter, and remember places that are good for each. POSSIBLE CONFLICTS & SOLUTIONSRaccoons can cause damage such as dumping trash cans, disturbing gardens and ponds, and injuring cats or small dogs, or they may simply be a nuisance for homeowners by entering attics and chimneys."

Eagle Eye Imaging/i Stockphoto.com Before evicting raccoons from your house, you need to figure out how they're entering (that is, if you don't want them coming right back in). Give your house a thorough inspection to find areas where raccoons could get in by viewing your house from the perspective of an animal looking for a den. Is there anybody in there? To determine if an opening is being used, block the hole loosely with wadded newspaper. Leave in place for two to three days. If the newspaper goes undisturbed, and the weather has not been particularly cold or stormy, no one is using it as an entryway. If the newspaper is pushed out of place, someone has moved in. Raccoon tenants Once you know how they're getting in, find out if your unwanted guests happen to be a mother raccoon with young. If so, the best thing to do is wait a few weeks until the babies grow old enough to leave with their mother—they won't survive without her."

Since it's a very common problem, I have here an advice article with photos on how to get raccoons out of the attic. Please read this guide - a raccoon in your attic or house is almost certainly a female with a litter of young. The job is often complex, and the worst thing you can do is simply set down a cage trap on the ground. NUISANCE CONCERNS: Raccoons are one of the most commonly dealt with nuisance animals. They have adapted to living with humans. They have learned that garbage cans and dumpsters are excellent sources of food, and that houses are excellent habitat. A mother raccoon will often tear a hole in a roof to access an attic, where they will make quite a mess and a lot of noise. If you have a raccoon in the attic, it's going to make a big mess and leave a lot of droppings."

Raccoons are typically from 2 to 3 feet long, 9 to 10 inches tall, and weigh between 10 and 30 pounds. Males are typically bigger than females, and individuals living in the north are typically larger than those who live in the south. The back feet of a raccoon are larger than the front feet. These stout rear feet bear most of the weight of the raccoon freeing up the more delicate front feet for climbing, digging and especially for exploring for and examining potential food sources. The dense sensory innervation of the front feet and the dexterity of the five front foot digits make them outstanding tools for exploring and evaluating the world. The raccoon is a nocturnal animal and so relies on touch and scent as its primary sensory modalities. The raccoon's eye is rich in light sensitive (but color insensitive) rods and thus generates visual perception in the low light conditions of the night but with limited acuity or color perception. The flat feet, highly arched back, and unequal front to back weight distribution of the raccoon cause them to be somewhat slow and clumsy as runners. The broad flat feet, though, do allow them to swim very rapidly and strongly."

When driving in multiple states, check a tour book for any special driving rules in each state. © Corel A typical rural highway in the United States. Maximum speed limits in all states The speed limit in most states is now 65 miles per hour (about 110 km/hr) except where signs indicate slower or faster speeds. Many drivers travel about 5 mph above the legal limit and the police do not seem to mind. Speed limits are strictly enforced by radar in many states (especially the eastern highly populated areas). Speeding in any road construction area is strictly enforced with very heavy penalties in most states. Minimum driving age The minimum age for driving is 16 in most states but some states will not allow unrestricted driving until 18."

Methods used include roadside speed traps set up and operated by the police and automated roadside ' speed camera ' systems, which may incorporate the use of an automatic number plate recognition system. Traditionally, police officers used stopwatches to measure the time taken for a vehicle to cover a known distance. More recently, radar guns and automated in-vehicle systems have come into use. The perception that speed limits in a given location are being set and enforced primarily to collect revenue rather than improve traffic safety has led to controversy.

"text": "Are Radar Detectors Legal? By Andrew Lu on August 7, 2012 6:05 AMAdmit it, there's a sick pleasure in driving past another driver pulled over for speeding. However, almost all of us speed, and that sick pleasure can turn sickening when you get lit up by a police cruiser. So you're probably wondering whether radar detectors are legal. If you do a lot of driving, you may have thought at some point to get a radar detector. And with radar detector apps being developed for your smartphone, it's now easier than ever to get such a device. However, before installing a radar detector in your car or phone, you should know that it may be illegal for you to drive with a radar detector. Radar detector laws vary by state Generally, radar detector laws for personal vehicles are state specific. So there is no universal answer to whether radar detectors are legal. Some jurisdictions have flat-out prohibitions from using radar detectors like in Virginia and the District of Columbia."

"text": "\"The key to challenging a speeding ticket is to know what method the officer used to determine your speed. It may not be obvious to you which method was used. First, remember to politely ask the officer when you are stopped. Second, you'll want to obtain a copy of the officer's notes before your trial (see Chapter 9 on \"\"discovery\"\") to learn what method was used. Here we discuss the five most common methods of speed detection. If you know for certain what method was used to nab you, go directly to that section. Pacing Many speeding tickets result from the police officer following or \"\"pacing\"\" a suspected speeder and using his or her own speedometer to clock the suspect's speed. How Pacing Works With this technique, the officer must main tain a constant distance between the police vehicle and the suspect's car long enough to make a reasonably accurate estimate of its speed. Some states have rules that the officer must verify speed by pacing over a certain distance. ( For example, at least one-eighth or one-fourth of a mile.)"

Thank You.3 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: X-Band The first frequency band allocated for police radar: 10.5 - 10.55 GHz. Dating from the 1950s, X-band radar is the easiest to detect because of its lower frequency and higher power output. Depending on terrain, temperature and humidity, X-band radar can be detected from a distance of 2 to 4 miles, yet it can only take accurate readings of speed from a distance of 1/2 mile or less. K-Band The most frequently used radar frequency band: 24.05 - 24.25 GHz. K-band made its appearance in 1978. The first K-band hand-held radar guns could only be used from a stationary position.

By Casey Mc Nerthney on February 7, 2011 at 7:06 AMPrint Q: Even if the sexual contact was consensual, why wasn’t the UW basketball player charged with child rape? Isn’t the age of consent 18? A: No. Under Washington State law, a 16-year-old is legally capable of consenting to having sexual contact. There are some exceptions. A person could be guilty of indecent liberties if someone with supervisory authority causes another to have sexual contact. The third-degree child molestation law – the charge that applies for sexual contact with teens 14 up to age 16 – applies to perpetrators at least four years older than the victim. Neither of those cases apply in the UW basketball player investigation, in which both police and prosecutors believed there wasn’t sufficient evidence for a charge.

"text": "Archives | 1988Maryland Gives New Life to Radar Detectors APView page in Times Machine, Page 00008 The New York Times Archives Ronald James said he drove with a radar detector in his car for years without an accident. His insurance company canceled his policy anyway, citing its rule against underwriting drivers who own the devices. But Maryland's insurance commissioner has thrown out the rule, citing data showing that drivers with detectors are no more likely to have an accident than drivers who do not use them. '' This is the first ruling of its kind in the country,'' said Janice Lee, president of the Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights, a trade group with headquarters in Cincinnati. The organization worked on Mr. James's behalf to have his policy reinstated with his insurer, the Geico Corporation. '' Geico tried to make law, and the commissioner told them they had to play by everybody else's rules,'' Ms. Lee said. The ruling, written two weeks ago by Thomas P. Raimondi, the associate deputy insurance commissioner, cited ''Geico's vision of itself as the Good Witch of the North who, alone among the 800 property and casualty insurers, is pointing the magic anti-radar wand of the good corporate citizen in condemnation of the use of radar devices by the citizens of this state. '''' I've never had an accident,'' said Mr. James, who is 45 years old and who commutes to work in Washington from suburban Maryland. He said he bought the detector after receiving a ticket for speeding. '' I don't speed anymore,'' he said. ''"

"text": "How Radar Detectors Work Radar detectors are small devices that help identify the presence of radars, such as those used by police to locate cars driving over the speed-limit. Certain types of radar detectors also identify the presence of laser-speed guns, which may be useful for those looking to avoid speed traps that traditional radar detectors may miss. In order to understand how exactly a radar detector works, it’s helpful to understand the manner in which basic radars operate. Radars are frequently used to identify distance and speed, such as how far away an object is or how fast it is moving. A radar device emits a radio wave, which moves at the speed of light, and bounces back to the radar device when it encounters an object in its path. Based on how long it takes for the radio wave to hit the designated object (for example, a tree at an undetermined distance) and how long it takes the wave to bounce back, the radar device can figure out the distance between the device and the tree. When a radar is used to detect speed (for example, the rate at which a car is moving), the radio wave frequency of the returned signal is altered because the car is moving. If the car is moving toward the radar device, the return signal has a shorter distance to travel and the radio wave frequency increases. The radar device can then use the change in frequency to determine the speed at which the car is moving. In laser-speed guns, waves of light are used in place of radio waves."

"text": "Which States Legally Allow Radar Detectors in the Car? Radar detectors offer a nice bit of protection from speeding tickets. They are constantly monitoring the presence of radar which is used by police to determine your speed. When radar is being used in the area, the radar detector will start to beep, warning you that you should slow down or risk a ticket. Radar is also used in automated speed monitors which take a photo of your license plate and just send you a ticket later. It’s no surprise that it seems like radar detectors should be illegal. But it turns out that normal radar detectors are federally protected under the Communications Act of 1934. Each state may have different laws about the use of radar detectors, but in general it’s not illegal to have one. However, there are state radar detector laws that restrict or reduce the legality of their use. For example, in Minnesota and California it is illegal to have a radar detector hung on your windshield."

"text": "Legal Inside Your State Or Not – Radar Detectors Are Here To Stay Exposed Posted on January 14, 2011 by solos2gwngwn Radar detectors are usually lawful in many cities and states within the The United States. But this does not imply that radar detector units are legalised in every of the states within the United states. A good number of the individuals having automobiles within the United States have got their very own radar detectors. His or her reason is because they believe a speed limit at the moment is extremely low. The majority of the American individuals aren’t happy with limited speed even though getting behind the wheel. They want to be the quickest motorist driving as well as reach the locations they’re heading to in least amount of time frame possible. They want to be always within a race. The radar detector functions as his or her alert every time you’ll find law enforcement officials near them. Once the radar detector alert sounds, they’re able to ease with the gas pedal and slow down his or her speed. Because of the radar detectors presently being employed by every motorist, police officers will be hiding within alleyways or behind bridges so that you can steer clear of getting identified via the radar detectors."

It is used in law-enforcement to measure the speed of moving vehicles and is often used in professional spectator sport, for things such as the measurement of bowling speeds in cricket, speed of pitched baseballs, athletes and tennis serves. A radar speed gun is a Doppler radar unit that may be hand-held, vehicle-mounted or static. It measures the speed of the objects at which it is pointed by detecting a change in frequency of the returned radar signal caused by the Doppler effect, whereby the frequency of the returned signal is increased in proportion to the object's speed of approach if the object is approaching, and lowered if the object is receding. Such devices are frequently used for speed limit enforcement, although more modern LIDAR speed gun instruments, which use pulsed laser light instead of radar, began to replace radar guns during the first decade of the twenty-first century, because of limitations associated with small radar systems.

Originally, Automatic Signal was approached by Grumman Aircraft Corporation to solve the specific problem of terrestrial landing gear damage on the now-legendary PBY Catalina amphibious aircraft. Barker and Midlock cobbled a Doppler radar unit from coffee cans soldered shut to make microwave resonators. The unit was installed at the end of the runway (at Grumman's Bethpage, NY facility), and aimed directly upward to measure the sink rate of landing PBYs."

"text": "\"Radar Detector Rules for All 50 States Radar detectors can help car drivers avoid speeding tickets but the rules vary in each state. Find out the laws for radar detectors in your state.by Brady Klopfer on September 02, 2016Share Tweet Pin Radar detectors are pretty common for many drivers, especially those who drive frequently and want to take any and all steps possible to avoid getting tickets. Since speeding tickets cost significant amounts of money, and often result in raised insurance rates, radar detectors are a good investment for many drivers. With many of these devices costing under $100, a radar detector can easily pay for itself (and then some) if it saves you from being issued a ticket. The only downside is that if you do get caught speeding with a radar detector, your chances of getting off with a warning instead of a ticket are slim to none, as officers usually count the radar detector as warning enough. The rules for radar detectors vary from state to state (and also from country to country), so it’s important to know if they’re legal in the state you live in, as well as any states you’ll be driving in. Before going out and purchasing a radar detector for your vehicle, be sure to familiarize yourself with all of the laws. Just as with all of the rules, limits, and laws of the road, the radar detector rules are very important. What is a radar detector? Radar detectors are small electronic contraptions that can alert drivers when a police or highway patrol officer is nearby."

"text": "\"The key to challenging a speeding ticket is to know what method the officer used to determine your speed. It may not be obvious to you which method was used. First, remember to politely ask the officer when you are stopped. Second, you'll want to obtain a copy of the officer's notes before your trial (see Chapter 9 on \"\"discovery\"\") to learn what method was used. Here we discuss the five most common methods of speed detection. If you know for certain what method was used to nab you, go directly to that section. Pacing Many speeding tickets result from the police officer following or \"\"pacing\"\" a suspected speeder and using his or her own speedometer to clock the suspect's speed. How Pacing Works With this technique, the officer must main tain a constant distance between the police vehicle and the suspect's car long enough to make a reasonably accurate estimate of its speed. Some states have rules that the officer must verify speed by pacing over a certain distance. ( For example, at least one-eighth or one-fourth of a mile.)"

A lightning detector is a device that detects lightning produced by thunderstorms. There are three primary types of detectors: ground-based systems using multiple antennas, mobile systems using a direction and a sense antenna in the same location (often aboard an aircraft), and space-based systems. The first such device was invented in 1894 by Alexander Stepanovich Popov. It also was the first radio receiver in the world. Ground-based and mobile detectors calculate the direction and severity of lightning from the current location using radio direction-finding techniques along with an analysis of the characteristic frequencies emitted by lightning. Ground-based systems use triangulation from multiple locations to determine distance, while mobile systems estimate distance using signal frequency and attenuation. Space-based detectors on satellites can be used to locate lightning range, bearing and intensity by direct observation. Ground-based lightning detector networks are used by meteorological services like the National Weather Service in the United States, the Meteorological Service of Canada, the European Cooperation for Lightning Detection, the Institute for Ubiquitous Meteorology ( Ubimet) and by other organizations like electrical utilities and forest fire prevention services.

Methods used include roadside speed traps set up and operated by the police and automated roadside ' speed camera ' systems, which may incorporate the use of an automatic number plate recognition system. Traditionally, police officers used stopwatches to measure the time taken for a vehicle to cover a known distance. More recently, radar guns and automated in-vehicle systems have come into use.

These waves pass through you harmlessly. The amount of energy imparted to your body by the waves from the radar gun is less than the emissions from your cell phone and considerably farther away from your body. The fact is that you are bombarded by radio waves from numerous sources continually. While there hasnt been a lot of research studying how this affects living organisms long term, I would venture to say that you can probably find a lot of other things to worry about that are far more likely to cause you injury in the long term.

As one answerer noted, there had been claims of testicular cancer when the radar gun was left on (transmitting) and placed between the legs while waiting to use it again - don't know what happened with that."

Most towns and cities were built before the general availability of the automobile and thus city centers tend to be unwieldy for cars, especially large ones. The most scenic roads in mountain areas also tend to be winding and narrow. Keep this in mind when renting: large cars can be very unwieldy. In cities, it often makes sense to just park and then use public transportation. Roads are classified into the following categories: A xxx: autoroute (Motorway/freeway) (red number sign)N xxx: national road (red number sign; sometimes referred to as RN xx)D xxx: departmental road (yellow number sign; sometimes referred to as RD xx or CD xx)There also are municipal (white number sign) and forestry roads (green number sign).

What is police laser (aka police lidar)? Before we discuss how you can protect yourself from police laser traffic enforcement, let’s first describe what it is. LIDAR is an acronym for LI ght D etection A nd R anging. A police laser (i.e., police lidar) gun emits a highly focused beam of invisible infrared light in the near infrared region of light that is centered at a wavelength of 904nm and is only about 22 inches (56cm) in diameter at 1000 feet (300m). Are police laser guns accurate? Police laser is very accurate and can often determine you speed to the 10th of miles per hour. Unlike police radar which directly determines a vehicle’s speed by measuring its doppler (speed induced frequency) shift, police lidar calculates speed by observing the changing amount of time is takes to “see” a series of reflected pulses of light over a discreet period of time. Police laser was first introduced as a traffic enforcement tool in the early 1990s as a better alternative to police radar and offers police departments inherent advantages, namely: Precise targeting of vehicles out of a busy roadway Difficult detection by motorists Farther operating range Higher conviction rates Today’s fifth generation police lasers provide superior construction quality with improved optics, circuitry, and speed detection algorithms that are far more advanced and are proving to be especially lethal to drivers on the roadways, including those who use laser jammers. Can police laser be used at night?"

But this does not imply that radar detector units are legalised in every of the states within the United states. A good number of the individuals having automobiles within the United States have got their very own radar detectors. His or her reason is because they believe a speed limit at the moment is extremely low. The majority of the American individuals aren’t happy with limited speed even though getting behind the wheel. They want to be the quickest motorist driving as well as reach the locations they’re heading to in least amount of time frame possible. They want to be always within a race. The radar detector functions as his or her alert every time you’ll find law enforcement officials near them. Once the radar detector alert sounds, they’re able to ease with the gas pedal and slow down his or her speed. Because of the radar detectors presently being employed by every motorist, police officers will be hiding within alleyways or behind bridges so that you can steer clear of getting identified via the radar detectors."

"text": "Archives | 1988Maryland Gives New Life to Radar Detectors APView page in Times Machine, Page 00008 The New York Times Archives Ronald James said he drove with a radar detector in his car for years without an accident. His insurance company canceled his policy anyway, citing its rule against underwriting drivers who own the devices. But Maryland's insurance commissioner has thrown out the rule, citing data showing that drivers with detectors are no more likely to have an accident than drivers who do not use them. '' This is the first ruling of its kind in the country,'' said Janice Lee, president of the Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights, a trade group with headquarters in Cincinnati. The organization worked on Mr. James's behalf to have his policy reinstated with his insurer, the Geico Corporation. '' Geico tried to make law, and the commissioner told them they had to play by everybody else's rules,'' Ms. Lee said. The ruling, written two weeks ago by Thomas P. Raimondi, the associate deputy insurance commissioner, cited ''Geico's vision of itself as the Good Witch of the North who, alone among the 800 property and casualty insurers, is pointing the magic anti-radar wand of the good corporate citizen in condemnation of the use of radar devices by the citizens of this state. '''' I've never had an accident,'' said Mr. James, who is 45 years old and who commutes to work in Washington from suburban Maryland. He said he bought the detector after receiving a ticket for speeding. '' I don't speed anymore,'' he said. ''"

"text": "\"by Jeph Preece According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 112,000 drivers receive speeding tickets every day at an average price of $152 per ticket. The vast majority of traffic stops are the result of speeding caught by law enforcement using radar guns to track speeders in the same way Major League Baseball tracks the speed of a pitcher's fastball. The problem with radar is it's easy to detect. If you have one of the best radar detectors, you'll know about that police car hiding behind the billboard long before you're in its path. This is where laser speed guns come into play. Also referred to as LIDAR (light detection and ranging), laser speed guns use light in extremely fast pulses to detect an object's speed. It has a range of 1,000 feet to 4,000 feet, and it's very accurate. One of the advantages of laser speed guns is that they're nearly impossible to detect beforehand. Unlike radar, which you can detect miles before the cop knows you're coming, laser doesn't spread out and expand. The signal is very narrow, which means that you can receive a laser alert on your radar detector while all the other cars on the road are none the wiser."

"text": "Are Radar Detectors Legal in Florida? ( Part B)Posted on August 16, 2010 in: Traffic Cases How does a radar detector work? By beaming a radio wave at a moving vehicle, police officers can gauge the speed at which the vehicle is moving. This can be done using a hand-held radar device that is known as a radar gun. Radars guns can also be mounted on a fixed object, such as a speed limit sign or a traffic signal. A radar detector detects the signals that come from a radar gun and emits a warning to the driver. This allows you to reduce your speed when an officer’s radar signal is detected. However, due to the various devices inside most vehicles, radar guns can detect an incorrect signal. For instance, many garage door openers operate on the same electromagnetic spectrum as a radar gun. While technological advancements have tried to eliminate signal interference, it is not uncommon for radar guns to give an incorrect reading."

"text": "Which States Legally Allow Radar Detectors in the Car? Radar detectors offer a nice bit of protection from speeding tickets. They are constantly monitoring the presence of radar which is used by police to determine your speed. When radar is being used in the area, the radar detector will start to beep, warning you that you should slow down or risk a ticket. Radar is also used in automated speed monitors which take a photo of your license plate and just send you a ticket later. It’s no surprise that it seems like radar detectors should be illegal. But it turns out that normal radar detectors are federally protected under the Communications Act of 1934. Each state may have different laws about the use of radar detectors, but in general it’s not illegal to have one. However, there are state radar detector laws that restrict or reduce the legality of their use. For example, in Minnesota and California it is illegal to have a radar detector hung on your windshield."

We present a rare case of a radicular cyst associated with a non vital deciduous maxillary canine tooth with a history of trauma. The permanent canine was impacted due to the cyst. After the enucleation of the cyst, we observed a spontaneous eruption of the permanent canine. Our aim is to emphasize the early recognition and intervention of inflammatory radicular lesions associated with deciduous anterior teeth which otherwise may adversely impact the underlying permanent successor."

"text": "Sciatica Sciatica is a medical term used to describe a condition characterized by the sharp pain that shoots down a lower limb through the buttock, into the upper thigh, and radiates into the skin of the calf, and the foot. Sciatica patients may also experience tingling or burning sensation as well as numbness of the skin in the affected areas – sciatica nerve pain. Sciatic Nerve The symptoms are usually confined to one side of the body. Sciatica symptoms are regarded as the consequence of the physical damage to the Sciatic nerve at the points where it emerges from the spine or other confined anatomical places where it could get compressed. The Sciatic nerve, one of the largest neural formations in the human body, innervates most of the lower limb’s skin and musculature providing feeling and movement in the back of the thigh, the ankle and the foot. It is formed by three nerve roots that leave the spine in the Lumbar and Sacral sections (L-4, L-5 and S-1) and merge within the pelvic cavity. From there the nerve proceeds down through the sciatic foramens of the pelvic bone into the hip. It descends along the thigh and spreads out below the knee through the skin and musculature of the calf and into the foot. Pinching, irritation or inflammation of any of the three roots at any of the origination points will result in radicular pain or radiculopathy along the nerve’s path. It must be noted that there are several other conditions that resemble and are frequently confused with Sciatica nerve pain."

All the possible treatment modalities of a jaw lesion should be implemented before tooth extraction or any other surgical intervention. Always check whether the epithelial lining of the cyst is continuous with the root or not. Early diagnosis would save considerable worry and discomfort for the patient. Main We report a case of a middle-aged Caucasian male who presented with gradual onset of paraesthesia in the distribution of the mental nerve. Radiographic investigation revealed a lesion associated with the apices of the lower right premolar teeth. No surgical biopsy was taken and the patient was subsequently advised to undergo endodontic treatment of the lower right first and second premolar teeth. Following root canal treatment there was improvement of the clinical symptoms and a gradual reduction in size of the periapical lesion on serial radiographs was clearly noted."

Aspiration of fluid is done with the help of needle and syringe. Here we are going to list out the various Cysts of the Oral cavity and their Fluid Aspirates their consistency, color and other features: Dentigerous cyst Aspirate: Aspirate is Clear, pale, straw colored fluid which contains “Cholesterol crystals” and the protein content is in excess of 4.0 gm per 100 ml Odontogenic Keratocyst Aspirate: Aspirate is Dirty, creamy white viscid suspension which is characteristic of OKC and also contains Parakeratinized squamous cells in the fluid. Total protein content in the fluid is less than 5 gm per 100 ml and most of the protein content is Albumin which is a less soluble protein. Diagnosis of Oral Cystic Fluid on Aspiration: Periodontal cysts Aspirate: Aspirate is clear, pale yellow straw colored fluid which contains Cholesterol crystals and the total protein content is 5 -11 gm per 100 ml for periodontal cysts Solitary bone cyst Aspirate: Aspirate is serous or sanguineous fluid and may contain blood or empty cavity. The fluid also contains Necrotic blood clots which are characteristic of Solitary bone cyst. Stafne’s bone cyst or idiopathic bone cavity Aspirate: It is a empty cavity without epithelial lining and filled only with air Source: http://www.jmrps.net Journal Dermoid cyst Aspirate: Aspirate is a thick sebaceous material which is secreted by the sebaceous glands present in skin Mucocele, Ranula and Fissural cyst Aspirate: Aspirate is Mucus fluid secreted by the salivary glands and accumulated due to different reasons for the 3 types. Hemangioma Aspirate: Aspirate is fresh blood in the cavity as the name suggests Arterial and Venous malformation Aspirate: Aspirate is bright red blood which shows pulsation movements and pushes plunger These findings should be remembered to be able to diagnose any cyst which you might encounter in your practice. And aspiration of the fluid is as important as radio-graph for diagnosis of cysts.

Also, genetic diseases can affect the physical appearance of teeth. The most common disorders are amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, dentin dysplasia, regional odontodysplasia, taurodontism, tricho – dento – osseous syndrome, oculodentodigital dysplasia, Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and cleidocranial dysostosis. Amelogenesis imperfecta It is a disorder of teeth development when enamel is thin and it is formed abnormally. The disease is inherited in autosomal dominant manner. Because of thin and soft enamel teeth are yellow and easily damaged. Disease affects both primary and secondary teeth. The goal of the treatment is to protect the teeth from damage. Dentinogenesis imperfecta It is another teeth development disorder. In this condition teeth are discolored and transparent."

The two methods of treating infected dental nerve tissue are the pulpotomy and pulpectomy. The ultimate objective of these procedures is to save the tooth, so that it will maintain the integrity and function of the dental arch. This article will focus on the following topics in pediatric pulp treatment: • Pulpotomy for Primary Teeth • Alternatives to Formocresol in Primary Teeth • Pulpotomy for Young Permanent Teeth • Pulp Morphology • Pulpectomy for Primary Teeth Pulpotomy for Primary Teeth • Definition: the surgical removal of the entire coronal pulp, leaving intact the vital radicular pulp within the canals. Treatment Objectives for the Pulptomy • (1) amputate the infected coronal pulp, • (2) neutralize any residual infectious process, • (2) preserve the vitality of the radicular pulp. Indications for the Pulpotomy • (1) cariously exposed primary teeth, when their retention is more advantageous than extraction. • ( 2) when inflammation is confined to the coronal portion of the pulp. Contraindications for the Pulpotomy • (1) fistula or swelling, • (2) the tooth crown is nonrestorable, • (3) absent hemorrhage; profuse hemorrhage, • (4) marked tenderness to percussion, • (5) mobility, • (6) radiolucency exists in the furcal or periradicular areas, • (7) spontaneous pain, especially at night, • (8) necrotic pulp, • (9) dystrophic calcification (pulp stones). Treatment Approaches for the Pulpotomy of Primary Teeth • Devitalization: uses a 1:5 diluted formocresol (Buckley’s) technique, which results in partial devitalization with persistent chronic inflammation."

The cyst cavity is lined by epithelial cells derived from the reduced enamel epithelium of the tooth forming organ. Regarding its pathogenesis, it has been suggested that the pressure exerted by an erupting tooth on the follicle may obstruct venous flow inducing accumulation of exudate between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown. In addition to the developmental origin, some authors have suggested that periapical inflammation of non-vital deciduous teeth in proximity to the follicles of unerupted permanent successors may be a factor for triggering this type of cyst formation. Histologically a normal dental follicle is lined by enamel epithelium, whereas a dentigerous cyst is lined by non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Since the dentigerous cyst develops from follicular epithelium it has more potential for growth, differentiation and degeneration than a radicular cyst. Occasionally the wall of a dentigerous cyst may give rise to a more ominous mucoepidermoid carcinoma."

Tarlov cysts, also known as perineural cysts, [1] are type II innervated meningeal cysts, cerebrospinal-fluid -filled (CSF) sacs most frequently located in the spinal canal of the S1-to-S5 region of the spinal cord (much less often in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine), and can be distinguished from other meningeal cysts by their nerve-fiber-filled walls. Tarlov cysts are defined as cysts formed within the nerve-root sheath at the dorsal root ganglion. [ 2] The etiology of these cysts is not well understood; some current theories explaining this phenomenon have not yet been tested or challenged but include increased pressure in CSF, filling of congenital cysts with one-way valves, inflammation in response to trauma and disease. They are named for neurologist Isadore Tarlov, who described them in 1938. [ 3]Tarlov cysts are relatively common when compared to other neurological cysts. Initially, Isadore Tarlov believed them to be asymptomatic, however as his research progressed, Tarlov found them to be symptomatic in a number of patients."

Although glossary information in the printed CDT Manual serves a legitimate purpose, the online version of the Glossary has the advantage of being readily updated. This online glossary contains the Council's most current set of terms and definitions. Content is based on the CDT 2011-2012 glossary, with some changes (e.g., definitions of inlays and onlays) that came about after the manual was printed. The Council intends to keep this glossary current, and include its contents in the next CDT manual. Please check this page for the latest information. Updates will continue as long as the terms used by dentists and their staff continue to expand and evolve."

In this article we will describe the various types. Cysts occur within tissue and can affect any part of the body. They vary in size from microscopic to the size of some team-sport balls - large cysts can displace internal organs. In anatomy, a cyst can also refer to any normal bag or sac in the body, such as the bladder. In this article, cyst refers to an abnormal sac or pocket in the body that contains liquid, gaseous, or semisolid substances. A cyst is not a normal part of the tissue where it is located. It has a distinct membrane and is separated from nearby tissue - the outer (capsular) portion of a cyst is called the cyst wall. If the sac is filled with pus it is not a cyst; it is an abscess.

The pulp is the soft middle of the tooth, commonly referred to as the \"\"nerve\"\". Treatment is either root canal therapy or extraction. A periodontal abcess is around the roots of the teeth just below the gum tissue and is associated with gum disease. There is usually loss of supporting bone and attachment to the affected tooth.

"text": "\"Is it wise to remove wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth are no different than other teeth except that they are the last to erupt, or grow, into the mouth. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are just as useful as any other tooth if they grow in properly and have healthy gum tissue around them. Often, however, problems develop when the teeth grow in, and removal may be required. Wisdom teeth may be impacted, or unable to erupt, and can cause problems such as infection or cyst formation. Wisdom teeth may only partially erupt. When this happens, food gets caught in the gums and may cause an infection, swelling, growth of a tumor or cyst and pain. There is a chance that poorly aligned wisdom teeth will damage adjacent teeth. A cyst (fluid-filled sac) may form near the wisdom teeth, destroying surrounding structures such as bone or tooth roots. If wisdom teeth have erupted, the key to preserving them is maintaining good oral health by brushing twice a day and going to see a dentist regularly."

Not just a year ago my wisdom was tucked tightly away in my mouth, just below the surface of my gums, bothering no one. And then, last fall, it decided to emerge in the shape of three large, impacted teeth that had to come out. As I lay under the dental surgeon’s tools over the holidays, slowly coming out of my anesthesia, I wondered to myself: where did these teeth come from? Anthropologists believe wisdom teeth, or the third set of molars, were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor’s early diet of coarse, rough food – like leaves, roots, nuts and meats – which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. The modern diet with its softer foods, along with marvels of modern technologies such as forks, spoons and knives, has made the need for wisdom teeth nonexistent."

When a cyst fails to resolve, it may need to be removed surgically, but that would depend upon its type and location.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Physics Do high frequency waves move faster than low frequency waves? Flag Do high frequency waves move faster than low frequency waves? Answer by Ben Spiller Confidence votes 6The answer depends on the medium in which the wave is traveling. If the medium is non-dispersive, all frequencies will travel at the same speed (the group delay and phase delay will be the same). If the wave is traveling in a dispersive medium, the frequency of the wave will affect the speed (and the group delay and phase delay will not be the same). The type of dispersive medium also determines whether high frequency waves will travel faster or slower than lower frequency waves. A good example of light dispersion is demonstrated using a prism. In a prism, the higher frequencies travel at a different speed, and have a different refractive index than lower frequencies, this is how white light is split into its colored components using a prism.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

No injury or damages have been reported from the waves, but some coastal towns have issued evacuation advisories as a precautionary step. The first reports of tsunami waves came from Iwate Prefecture around 6:20 a.m. local time Friday. By 7:30 a.m., tsunami waves as high as 0.4 meter (1.3 feet) had been reported at Kujikō in Iwate Prefecture as well as at Erimo on the northern island of Hokkaido. The agency issued a tsunami advisory before dawn Friday for Japan's entire Pacific coast, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. Agency official Yohei Hasegawa said the waves reached northern Japan first and were moving toward the southwest. He said the agency expects the swelling of the waves would continue for a while and could go as high as 1 meter (40 inches), and urged residents to stay away from the coast. Smaller waves have been detected across the country, up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) in Erimo on Hokkaido and 20 centimeters (8 inches) in Fukushima prefecture, home to the nuclear power plant destroyed by the 2011 disaster.

But this week, upon the 20th anniversary of the vessel's loss and the so-called Perfect Storm, speculation continues to swirl: How did the Andrea Gail meet her fate? Did it happen just as portrayed in the movie, when she flipped over trying to conquer an enormous wave? Did anything other than fierce weather contribute to her demise? Many experts agree that a 72-foot fishing vessel like the Andrea Gail would have little chance surviving the convergence of multiple weather systems now referred to as The Perfect Storm, which included hurricane force winds and wave heights of more than 60 feet. According to the 1993 U. S. Coast Guard's investigative report, the last communication with the Andrea Gail was on Oct. 28 with another fishing vessel, the Hannah Boden.

It discusses the effects of radio frequency interference (RFI) on the operation of industrial hygiene instruments, explains why special isotropic probes are used for making non-ionizing radiation surveys, and emphasizes the need for special attention in measuring radio frequency fields. PREFACE: Some discussion of the following subject matter has been simplified for the sake of handling the subject in this limited space. If this is your first exposure to the subject, some terms and concepts in this memo might be unfamiliar to you. By reading the entire service memo completely at one sitting, some of your initial questions raised in one section may get answered in subsequent sections. Once you make it through the material one time, it is recommended you read the entire service memo over again a second time at another sitting.

"text": "\"ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUMCONCEPTOne of the most amazing aspects of physics is the electromagnetic spectrum — radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x rays, and gamma rays — as well as the relationship between the spectrum and electromagnetic force. The applications of the electromagnetic spectrum in daily life begin the moment a person wakes up in the morning and \"\"sees the light.\"\" Yet visible light, the only familiar part of the spectrum prior to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, is also its narrowest region. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, uses for other bands in the electromagnetic spectrum have proliferated. At the low-frequency end are radio, short-wave radio, and television signals, as well as the microwaves used in cooking. Higher-frequency waves, all of which can be generally described as light, provide the means for looking deep into the universe — and deep into the human body. HOW IT WORKSElectromagnetism The ancient Romans observed that a brushed comb would attract particles, a phenomenon now known as static electricity and studied within the realm of electrostatics in physics. Yet, the Roman understanding of electricity did not extend any further, and as progress was made in the science of physics — after a period of more than a thousand years, during which scientific learning in Europe progressed very slowly — it developed in areas that had nothing to do with the strange force observed by the Romans. The fathers of physics as a serious science, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), were concerned with gravitation, which Newton identified as a fundamental force in the universe. For nearly two centuries, physicists continued to believe that there was only one type of force."

"text": "Radio waves & microwaves Quick revise The video and text below describes some of the characteristics and uses of Radio waves and Microwaves. Radio Waves Radio waves are the lowest-energy, lowest-frequency and longest-wavelength electromagnetic waves. They are produced when an alternating current flows in an aerial and they spread out and travel through the atmosphere. They are not strongly absorbed by the atmosphere. Another aerial is used as a detector and the waves produce an alternating current in it, with a frequency that matches that of the radio waves. Anyone with a receiver can tune it to this frequency to pick up the radio waves so they are suitable for broadcasting (for example, radio and TV programmes) to large numbers of people. An advantage is that this method of communicating does not require wires to transmit information. A disadvantage is that radio stations using similar transmission frequencies sometimes interfere. A common mistake is to think that we can hear radio waves. We cannot hear any electromagnetic radiation."

Scientists exposed 10 female volunteers to radiation at 900 megahertz from GSM phones to simulate an hour-long phone call. They screened 580 different proteins in their skin cells and found that the numbers of two proteins were altered in all of the volunteers: one protein increased by 89 percent, the other decreased by 32 percent. This study shows that even without heating, molecular level changes take place in response to exposure to cell phone frequency electromagnetic radiation. Dr. Mercola's Comments: For the first time, researchers are able to show that molecular changes do take place in your body during exposure to information-carrying radio waves, such as those from your cell phone. Similar effects have previously been found in cultured cells, but now they’re able to show that the impact on the human body is indeed the same. So what is the physiological significance of these changes in proteins? So far, no one knows for sure. But I firmly believe that dismissing it as inconsequential would be a serious mistake, especially in light of ALL the data available, pointing to a wide variety of long-term health risks.

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Did you mean naturally or artificially? Artificially, they are used in just about every method of wireless communication ever invented. AM Radio broadcasting is the oldest technology to feature them. Naturally, they are part of the black body radiation spectrum from just about every object in space. For objects as cold as the cosmic microwave background, and as part of the cosmic microwave background itself, radio waves are the dominant emission. More energy is emitted for these super-cold bodies in radio than in any other spectral band. Even from objects of ordinary temperature, and even from objects as hot as stars, radio waves are still emitted as part of black body radiation (they just aren't dominant). Black body radiation spans the entire spectrum, with a peak that depends on temperature, and with an asymptotic falloff on both sides of it. Pulsars are particularly interesting, because they produce pulses of radio waves that at a first study, they may appear to be made on purpose."

"text": "Both ASK and OOK modulation are ways to encode information and assemble them into radio signals to transmit, for example, wirelessly. Information to transmit are all numbers, and here ASK or OOK come to code numbers in radio waves, ASK stands for Amplitude Shift Key - which basically means different number has different wave amplitude, for example, number 2 will be a segment of double-unit-amplitude wave or DW, 1 will be a segment of single-unit-amplitude wave or SW, and 0 will be a segment of zero-amplitude wave or ZW, and during continuous transmitting, the number series 210210210… can be coverted to DW SW ZW DW SW ZW DW SW ZW… so three numbers – 012 have been converted to wave form by ASK transformation at transmitter side, then picked up by receiver which recognize the wave form signal and restore them into numbers and information. ASK however has some problem, as you can see noise interference is everywhere around us, so maybe receiver can’t correctly pick up the amplitude of given signal, causing it more likely to be interfered in application, which means shorter remote distance. So here comes OOK which is better at distinguishing transmitted code. OOK is basically the same as ASK, the only difference is OOK only has two wave status, on – when there is wave and off – when signal cut off, that’s why the name is OOK – On-Off Key. OOK encoder has greatly simplified encoding difficulty and cost, although OOK is less likely to carry high bit-rate data due to only two status available, but it is enough to be used in garage and gate remote control and other remote keyfobs signal transmission. Original photo is taken on Aug 1st 2013 showing a OOK transmitter SR-C1 working status visualized using spectrum analyzer. Range selection knob has been chosen to 100KHz range, while the center frequency is 433.92MHz. Updated on May 11st 2016 using better graphics showing ASK and OOK comparision. As you can see from above photo, the carrying wave has been divided into several pieces, some are longer while the other are shorter, this is pretty much the compositon of carrying wave – which should be a smooth and continuous curve if there is no signal carried, and the OOK encoder, which turns on the transmitting for data one and cut off the transmitter for data zero."

This page deals with New South Wales see other pages for Cruising Sydney (includes Pittwater) or Cruising Queensland. The New South Wales coast runs about 240 nautical miles from Cape Howe in the south to Sydney and about another 400 nautical miles from Sydney to Point Danger in the north. The two portions have a different flavour and rather different weather. To the south the anchorages are rather closer together with artificial fishing harbours (Woolongong, Kiama and Ulladulla) and large bays like Jervis Bay, Bateman’s Bay and Twofold Bay, plus barred river entrances like Bermagui, Moruya and Crookhaven River. To the north after Port Stephens, 87 nm north of Sydney, there are two artificial harbours, Coff's Harbour and Crowdy Head and all the remaining all-round anchorages are barred river entrances, mostly a bit more tricky than the southern counterparts. These anchorages are secure once inside, but it pays to be very careful when entering or leaving. On this coast it pays to seek shelter early. For example in a north-easterly gale there is no safe entrance north of Port Stephens right up to and past the Queensland border. Our members regularly cruise and enjoy this coast, but it is not one for the overconfident or impatient, i.e. for poor seamanship!Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Port Stephens are good places from which to get a car and head for the Hunter Valley vineyards."

And those shining seas? Rising and costly, the report says. Climate change’s assorted harms “are expected to become increasingly disruptive across the nation throughout this century and beyond,” the National Climate Assessment concluded Tuesday. The report emphasizes how warming and its all-too-wild weather are changing daily lives, even using the phrase “climate disruption” as another way of saying global warming. Still, it’s not too late to prevent the worst of climate change, says the 840-page report, which the White House is highlighting as it tries to jump-start often stalled efforts to curb heat-trapping gases. White House counselor John Podesta said Monday that the climate change report gives “a huge amount of practical, usable knowledge that state and local decision-makers can take advantage of as they plan on or for the impacts of climate change and work to make their communities more resilient. ”Soldier Sues Army For $100 Million Over Tattoo Rules However, if the nation and the world don’t change the way they use energy, “we’re still on the pathway to more damage and danger of the type that are described in great detail in the rest of this report,” said study co-author Henry Jacoby, co-director of the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

"text": "\"1 - Sound > Infrasound Infrasound is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the normal limit of human hearing. Hearing becomes gradually less sensitive as frequency decreases, so for humans to perceive infrasound, the sound pressure must be sufficiently high. The ear is the primary organ for sensing infrasound, but at higher levels it is possible to feel infrasound vibrations in various parts of the body. The study of such sound waves is sometimes referred to as infrasonics, covering sounds beneath 20 Hz down to 0.001 Hz. This frequency range is utilized for monitoring earthquakes, charting rock and petroleum formations below the earth, and also in ballistocardiography and seismocardiography to study the mechanics of the heart. Infrasound is characterized by an ability to cover long distances and get around obstacles with little dissipation. Infrasound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia About infrasound Possibly the first observation of naturally occurring infrasound was in the aftermath of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, when concussive acoustic waves circled the globe seven times or more and were recorded on barometers worldwide. Infrasound was also used by Allied forces in World War I to locate artillery. One of the pioneers in infrasonic research was French scientist Vladimir Gavreau, born in Russia as Vladimir Gavronsky. [ 1] His interest in infrasonic waves first came about in his lab during the 1960s, when he and his lab assistants experienced pain in the ear drums and shaking lab equipment, but no audible sound was picked up on his microphones."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Physics How do electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum (Space)? I understand Mechanical waves that use a 'medium'.7 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: em waves are able to travel thru space because they have a quantum particle associated with them. It is the particle travelling thru space, although the particle is of course massless and weightless. All quantum particles, including matter, are just packets of energy, and it's the properties of an individual particle that determines how it will behave (ie, will it behave like matter or energy). So light is able to exist on its own for the same reason matter can. Compressional waves cannot; they are simply a travelling perturbation of matter. Santa Claus · 1 decade ago3 2 Comment Asker's rating Electromagnetic Waves In Space Source (s):https://shorte.im/ba Evelagnionjr · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Electromagnetic radiation is a transverse waveform. Basically the wave is produced because magnetic fields take a finite time to collapse. When the periodic time of an alternating current becomes shorter than the collapse time for its associated magnetic field, the magnetic field becomes free standing and is subsequently repelled from the electricity conductor by the developing magnetic field, which will be of the same polarity. Like poles repel."

Categories of Waves So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities? A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position."

"text": "\"You may not know their technical name, but transducers are everywhere. The microphone and earpiece on your telephone, the speaker in your TV set, the LED (light emitting diode) on your video game console and even the pickup on your electric guitar are all forms of transducers. Technically, a transducer is any device that changes one form of energy into another. Transducers can be designed with other circuitry to measure speed, pressure and temperature, as well as to convert sound to and from electrical signals for communication and entertainment. Transducers are generally classified as being either \"\"active\"\" or \"\"passive\"\" devices. Energy Conversion Electricity, sound, light and heat are types of energy. A transducer converts one of these forms of energy into another. An example of a non-electrical conversion, in which a physical element is converted into another physical element, is a simple mercury-filled thermometer. Heat energy causes the physical movement of mercury to rise inside a glass column. Most transducers, however, involve electricity to perform a variety of very useful tasks."

With the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the effect of Science on human life rapidly changed. Today, science has a profound effect on the way we live, largely through technology, the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Some forms of scientific inventions have changed our lives entirely. For example the refrigerator has played a major role in maintaining public health ever since its invention. The first automobile, dating from the 1880s, made use of many advances in physics, mathematics and engineering; the first electronic computers emerged in the 1940s from simultaneous advances in electronics, physics and mathematics. Today we have extra high- speed super computers with 100 % accuracy. Science has enormous influence on our lives. It provides the basis of much of modern technology - the tools, materials, techniques, and sources of power that make our lives and work easier. The discoveries of scientists also help to shape our views about ourselves and our place in the universe."

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Modern scale3 See also4 References5 External links History [ edit]The scale was devised in 1805 by the Irish hydrographer Francis Beaufort (later Rear Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort), a Royal Navy officer, while serving on HMS Woolwich. The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before) to when Beaufort was Hydrographer of the Navy in the 1830s when it was adopted officially and first used during the voyage of HMS Beagle under Captain Robert Fitz Roy, later to set up the first Meteorological Office (Met Office) in Britain giving regular weather forecasts. [ 1] In the early 19th century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective – one man's \"\"stiff breeze\"\" might be another's \"\"soft breeze\"\". Beaufort succeeded in standardising the scale. Sir Francis Beaufort The initial scale of thirteen classes (zero to twelve) did not reference wind speed numbers but related qualitative wind conditions to effects on the sails of a frigate, then the main ship of the Royal Navy, from \"\"just sufficient to give steerage\"\" to \"\"that which no canvas sails could withstand\"\". [ 2]The scale was made a standard for ship's log entries on Royal Navy vessels in the late 1830s and was adapted to non-naval use from the 1850s, with scale numbers corresponding to cup anemometer rotations."

Not least because quite a lot of those genre names come from the artists themselves. Gospel, for example, was more or less invented by Rev Thomas A Dorsey. As Georgia Tom, Dorsey played jazz and blues piano before turning to the Bible for inspiration in 1932 and selling songs such as Precious Lord, Take My Hand to churches in Chicago, then across America.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Flavorful Alliums Garlic, onion, leeks, chives and scallions are nonstarchy vegetables and members of the Allium family. These vegetables are commonly put to use in cooking for the strong flavors they impart to food; however, they also hold medicinal properties. According to a review published in 2004 in \"\"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention,\"\" the organosulfur compounds derived from Allium vegetables exhibit anti-cancer effects by inhibiting mutagenesis (events that lead to mutations), modulating enzymes, preventing DNA damage and scavenging free-radicals. Cruciferous Vegetables Cruciferous vegetables are nonstarchy and part of the Brassica family. They include arugula, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard and mustard greens, horseradish, kale, radishes, rutabaga, turnips and watercress. In the April 2010 issue of \"\"BMC Cancer,\"\" researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute demonstrated cruciferous vegetable consumption was inversely associated with lung cancer risk among smokers, most prominently among former smokers.

Early varieties usually grow best in the cool days of early spring, but some later-maturing varieties can be planted for summer use. The variety French Breakfast holds up and grows better than most early types in summer heat if water is supplied regularly. Additional sowings of spring types can begin in late summer, to mature in the cooler, more moist days of fall. Winter radishes are sown in midsummer to late summer, much as fall turnips. They are slower to develop than spring radishes; and they grow considerably larger, remain crisp longer, are usually more pungent and hold in the ground or store longer than spring varieties. Recommended Varieties Spring Burpee White (25 days to harvest; round; smooth white skin)Champion (28 days, large, round, red)Cherry Belle (22 days, round, red)Cherry Queen Hybrid (24 days, deep red, round, slow to become pithy)Early Scarlet Globe (23 days; globe-shaped, small taproot, bright red)Easter Egg (25 days; large, oval; color mix includes reddish purple, lavender, pink, rose, scarlet, white)Fuego (25 days; round, red; medium tops; resistant to fusarium, tolerant to blackroot/black scurf)Plum Purple (25 days, rounded, large, deep magenta)Snow Belle (30 days, attractive, round, white, smooth)For Spring or Summer Use French Breakfast (23 days, oblong red with white tip)Icicle (25 days, long, slim, tapered white)Winter (for storage)China Rose (52 days, white)Chinese White (60 days; large, long, square-shouldered, blunt-tipped, creamy white roots)Round Black Spanish (55 days; rough, black skin, white flesh)Tama Hybrid (70 days; daikon type; roots as long as 18 inches, with 3 inch diameter; smooth, white; blunt tip)When to Plant Spring radishes should be planted from as early as the soil can be worked until mid-spring. Make successive plantings of short rows every 10 to 14 days. Plant in spaces between slow-maturing vegetables (such as broccoli and brussels sprouts) or in areas that will be used later for warm-season crops (peppers, tomatoes and squash)."

Plants produce food through photosynthesis. In the plant leaf, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight combine to form glucose (a simple sugar) and oxygen. The carbon dioxide and sunlight are absorbed by the plant's leaves. Chlorophyll is the green chemical compound in leaves that absorbs the sunlight. The water is absorbed out of the soil by the plant's roots. The glucose provides food energy that is used by the plant to perform life processes and is also stored for later use."

The plan leads dieters through four phases, beginning with an initial Induction phase that allows only 20 grams of net carbohydrates a day and restricts sugar, starchy vegetables like potatoes, fruit and grain products such as bread or rice, and ending with a Lifetime Maintenance phase that allows some healthy sources of carbohydrates. According to Atkins diet proponents, you can lose as much as 15 pounds during the two-week Induction phase if you follow the guidelines for allowed foods. Talk to your doctor before starting the Atkins diet. Seafood You're allowed to eat any type of fish or shellfish during the Induction phase of the Atkins diet, including salmon, trout, flounder, cod, lobster, clams, crab and squid. Mussels and oysters, which contain more carbohydrates per serving than other types of seafood, are limited to 4 ounces per day. If you're a woman who may become pregnant, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration advises you to avoid high-mercury fish like tilefish, king mackerel, swordfish and shark and to consume no more than 12 ounces of low-mercury fish such as salmon or canned light tuna per week. Meat and Poultry Chicken, turkey, duck, goose, beef, pork, lamb and venison are all acceptable foods during the Atkins Induction phase. You don't need to trim off excess fat unless you want to -- you won't gain weight from fat consumption as long as you're limiting your carbohydrates, claims the main Atkins site. Processed meats like cold cuts, bacon and ham are allowed, but you should eat them in moderation because they contain preservatives like nitrates and tend to have a higher level of carbohydrates than fresh meat."

Daikon is is root vegetable said to have originated in the Mediterranean and brought to China for cultivation around 500 B. C. Roots are large, often 2- to 4-inches in diameter and 6- to 20-inches long. There are three distinct shapes – spherical, oblong and cylindrical. Radishes have been developed in Asia which develop very large roots, reportedly up to 40 or 50 pounds, and with leaf top spreads of more than 2 feet (they require a long growing season for such development. These types are grown in the U. S., mainly by the Asian population for use in Asian dishes). Most of the commonly available Chinese radishes are white, but some are yellowish, green or black. More daikon is produced in Japan than any other vegetable. Many different varieties of this versatile vegetable are cultivated, depending on the region. These radishes are generally marketed in bunches of three or four roots for the small variety and one to three roots for the larger variety, depending on size. Other Names – Lo pue (Hmong); daikon (Japanese); lor bark (Cantonese Chinese); labanos (Filipino); cu-cai trang (Vietnamese)."

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 29, 2018Share Pin Email Print Illustration by Joshua Seong. © Verywell, 2018. While vegetables are considered a cornerstone of a low-carb diet, there are some that are clearly better than others. To make the right dietary choices: Choose vegetables that are less starchy or sweet. Watch your intake. Ideally, a half cup of cooked or one cup of raw vegetables should contain no more than five to six grams of carbohydrates. Remember that cooking a vegetable often decreases the volume while increasing the carbs per serving. As such, adjust your calculations if a cup of raw vegetables cooks down to a half cup. The amount of carbohydrates in a vegetable is largely related to the type of vegetable it is. Broadly speaking, they can be classified as leafy vegetables, stem vegetables, seeded vegetables, or root vegetables."

"text": "List of Low-Carb & Low-Calorie Foodsby JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017Foods that are low in carbohydrates aren't necessarily low in calories as well, but understanding which foods from different food groups fit best into both categories may make it a bit easier to lose weight. Because of their significant carbohydrate content, most grains and starchy vegetables are off the table for low-carb diets. When you're trying to lose weight, it's cutting calories that matters the most, not cutting carbs, although both may be helpful. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Non-Starchy Vegetables: Low-Carb & Low-Calorie When you're looking for foods that are low in both carbohydrates and calories, your best choices are nonstarchy vegetables, which often have a high water and fiber content, so they are low in energy density, or calories per gram. This makes it easier to eat a large portion and fill up on them without going over your daily calories. Red leaf lettuce, with less than 1 gram of carbs and only 4 calories per cup, is an example of a particularly low-calorie and low-carb vegetable. Others with fewer than 5 grams of carbs and 20 calories per 1-cup serving of raw vegetables or 1/2-cup serving of cooked vegetables include other types of lettuce, kale, cucumbers, cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms, asparagus, celery, summer squash, okra, snap beans and radishes. Fruits Calorie and Carb Content Fruits tend to be higher in both carbohydrates and calories than vegetables, but still lower in calories than many other low-carb foods. For fewer than 10 grams of carbs and 50 calories, eat a cup of starfruit or a clementine. Fruit choices with fewer than 15 grams of carbs and 75 calories include a cup of sliced peaches, apple, raspberries, cantaloupe, blackberries, strawberries, watermelon, casaba melon and water-packed canned apricots."

They have a crispy texture, mild flavor and are delicious cooked or eaten raw. Radish is a cool-season, fast-maturing, easy-to-grow vegetable. Garden radishes can be grown wherever there is sun and moist, fertile soil, even on the smallest city lot. Early varieties usually grow best in the cool days of early spring, but some later-maturing varieties can be planted for summer use. The variety French Breakfast holds up and grows better than most early types in summer heat if water is supplied regularly. Additional sowings of spring types can begin in late summer, to mature in the cooler, more moist days of fall. Winter radishes are sown in midsummer to late summer, much as fall turnips."

"text": "Black Radish Side Effectsby ALICIA RICHARDSON Oct. 03, 2017Black radish, or Raphinus sativus L. var. niger, is a round, white-fleshed, dark-purple-skinned radish. As a member of the cabbage family, black radish contains the same cancer-protective compounds found in broccoli, Brussels sprouts and other members of this large group of temperate-zone vegetables. However, the same chemoprotective substances also have adverse side effects. Anti-Thyroid or Goitrogenic Black radish, and all members of the cabbage family -- broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard, turnip and red radish -- can cause goiter because they all contain glucosinolates. Glucosinolates are modified amino acids. Goiter is the enlargement of the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency. When radish is chopped or chewed, glucosinolates break down into isothiocyanate, oxazalidine-2-thione, nitrite and thiocyanate ion. Isothiocyanates, oxazalidine-2-thione and isothiocyanate ion can cause goiter, by interfering with the production and secretion of essential thyroid hormones. Without these hormones, the body's ability to burn and use energy is jeopardized."

In the early 1990s, overall Eastern European mortality was 20-100% higher than in the West. The reasons for these differences in mortality are attributed to poor diet, excess alcohol consumption, heavy smoking, and other dangerous health behaviors. One explanation for the decreased lifespan among Eastern Europeans is that their intake of antioxidants from fruits, vegetables, and nuts is much lower compared to the West. A severe deficiency of antioxidant vitamins, along with a low intake of folic acid and flavonoids, partially accounts for the high level of cardiovascular disease in Eastern Europe. The traditional Eastern European diet consists of lots of animal fats and protein and very little in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables. This poor diet not only shortens lifespan, but also creates an epidemic of acute digestive disorders. While digestive complications increase as people age, the poor health habits of Eastern Europeans exacerbate common problems such as heartburn, bloating, gas, constipation, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome. In the United States, over-the-counter and prescription medications for digestive ailments are a multibillion-dollar industry. Most Eastern Europeans cannot afford the high-priced synthetic products sold by Western drug companies and instead rely on a natural herbal remedy that contains cholic acid, extracts from black radish, artichoke, and peppermint."

It involves inflammation of the lower tract of the respiratory system, which ultimately causes difficulty in breathing. It is followed by chest pain and discomfort. In simple words, chest congestion is the accumulation of excess mucus and fluid in the lungs. When we breathe, we inhale several particles, like dust, viruses, allergens, bacteria, etc. These particles get trapped by mucus, which covers the mucus membranes. The mucus is then transported to throat, from where, it is either swallowed or coughed out. Excess mucus results in chest congestion.

Tomato Leaves: The Toxic Myth Maybe it was my Asian upbringing that taught me never to waste food, as my family used and ate every part of the vegetable, fish, chicken, pig or cow that we brought home. Or maybe it’s my ever-growing curiosity when it comes to food from the land… but when I walk around the garden, looking at all my lovely plants, I always think, Can I eat that part? And by “part,” I mean the unconventional parts of the plant that you typically don’t think to eat. This was how I came to love artichoke stems, leek greens, and cucumber leaves, parts that are normally discarded or composted, but are in fact quite tasty. So one day, when I was walking by my tomato plants, I started wondering whether the leaves were edible or not. With vines that sometimes grow to 10 feet long, it seemed like such a waste that the leaves weren’t used when the amount of fruit seemed so small in proportion. It got me to thinking… Why don’t we eat tomato leaves? Popular culture has taught us that tomato leaves are part of the “deadly nightshade” family and thus, they must be toxic. But I bet that more than a few people, if asked, would have no idea what that even means."

The pair of bean-shaped kidneys, each about the size of a fist, are vital organs in our body located, one on each side of the spine, near the middle of our back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys perform many functions to keep our blood clean and chemically balanced. Our body uses food for energy and maintenance. Wastes in the blood come from food that we consume and from the normal breakdown of active tissues, such as muscles. Every day, a person’s kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood and filter out about 2 quarts of waste products and remove excess water. The wastes and excess water flow to the bladder through two tubes called ureters as urine. The bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination. Coriander ( Coriandrum sativum ), also called cilantro, koththamalli (in Tamil), or dhania ( in Hindi) is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. In the English-speaking world (except for the U.

First, the radish phenotype is well suited to perform many valuable cover crop functions—provide soil cover, scavenge nutrients, suppress weeds, and alleviate compaction—while creating few of the residue management challenges associated with many other cover crops. Second, recent research including many on-farm trials has documented beneficial effects of radish cover crops on soil properties and subsequent crops. Third, the seed industry has ramped up production of radish seed, brought new branded products to market, and promoted radish as a cover crop. Fourth—but perhaps most important in terms of the exponential growth in interest by farmers—radish cover crops have become a hot topic of discussion in rural coffee shops and on-line agricultural forums. Between 10/1/2011 and 12/1/2011, there were 51 threads about radishes in the Crop Talk forum of New Ag Talk, with over 500 responses and more than 240,000 views. Radish Seedstock Most of the radish varieties currently marketed for cover cropping (e.g., Ground Hog radish™, Nitro radish, Sodbuster, and Bio-till radish) are large rooted selections of daikon-type oilseed or forage radishes, but are not the product of formal breeding programs. All are morphologically similar to the large white daikon radishes traditionally used in Asian cooking."

"text": "Radishes for Deer July 18, 2016 | By Ryan Basinger Radishes ( Raphanus sativus) are somewhat of a newcomer to the food plot menu for whitetails. Native to Asia, radishes are produced for a variety of uses but are primarily grown for food. In the United States, forage radishes typically aren’t grown for food but instead as a winter cover crop that can bust through hard pans with its long tap root, prevent soil compaction, and increase organic matter. These soil management benefits combined with the high nutritional value and overall level of attraction give radishes a lot of promise and may eventually lead to moving this menu item from the “new dishes” to a more stable entrée selection. Radishes are considered a cool-season biennial forage that is fast-growing and produces a long, white taproot. The taproot can reach lengths greater than 30 inches with some varieties, which helps break through deeply compacted soils. The leaves are thick, fleshy and deeply lobed and can reach about 18 inches tall, depending on soil fertility and planting density. Radishes belong to the brassica family, which also contains other commonly planted species for deer, such as rape, kale, and turnips. Several improved varieties of radishes now exist and are managed in food plots, such as Daikon, Trophy, Tillage, and Groundhog. Radishes are very versatile and are adapted to a wide range of soil types and conditions, and they are relatively drought tolerant."

"text": "Tweet (News Target) Many people may not realize it, but radishes (known as daikens in some parts of the world) offer many health and nutritional benefits. Not only are the roots of these cruciferous vegetables nutritious, but so are their leaves. The leaves of the radish plant actually contain more Vitamin C, protein and calcium than their roots. They have been used to treat kidney and skin disorders, fight cancer and even soothe insect bites. Radish is rich in folic acid, Vitamin C and anthocyanins. These nutrients make it a very effective cancer-fighting food. It is said that radish is effective in fighting oral cancer, colon cancer and intestinal cancer as well as kidney and stomach cancers. Radishes contain Vitamin C, zinc, B-complex vitamins and phosphorus. All of these are very effective in treating skin disorders such as rashes and dry skin. Mashed raw radish can be used as a soothing and refreshing face pack."

There are several important steps for achieving this texture:1). Don't overmix the batter. When you stir in the water, mix very gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Don't attempt to work out the lumps, or the batter will become heavy.2). Be sure the water you mix in is very cold. This will make a cold batter that will remain light when fried.3).

Fruits and Vegetables for Heartburn Bananas and Plantains These foods are and old remedy for many gastrointestinal problems because they soothe and calm the digestive tract. In particular plantains - close cousins of the banana - are good foods for heartburn because contain an enzyme that stimulates mucus production in the lining of the stomach, helping to relieve upset and heartburn. Plantains that are green and a bit unripe are best because they contain leucocyanidin, an anti-ulcer flavonoid that can even protect the lining of the stomach from damage caused by aspirin. In addition, current research is under way at the University of Liverpool in England to confirm initial findings that the soluble fibre in plantains can soothe the painful inflammation of Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis. Carob Carob contains a honey-like substance that surrounds the seeds. Some naturopaths suggest consuming 20 grams of carob powder for GERD or acid reflux. As we've seen on a previous page, chocolate can be responsible for heartburn. The good news is that carob powder can be used in many recipes that require chocolate, so not only you can avoid the heartburn, but you can actually soothe your digestive system in the process.

At the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting this past weekend, researchers presented results of separate studies that evaluated the effects of raisins and soy on blood pressure. The studies found that both foods lowered blood pressure when consumed regularly. Experts weighed in on these and a few other snacks that offer heart-healthy benefits. ABCNews.com compiled a list of the top five. Raisins It's long been believed that raisins have a positive effect on blood pressure, and a study by doctors at the Louisville Metabolic and Atherosclerosis research Center (L-MARC) now offers some proof to that claim. In their study, Dr. Harold Bays and his colleagues randomly assigned 46 men and women who had borderline high blood pressure to consume either about 60 raisins or a pre-packaged snack three times a day. \"\" We monitored blood pressure, and when we did that and looked at the final result, we found that compared to the snack group, the raisin group showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure,\"\" said Bays, who is medical director and president of L-MARC. Bays believes the potassium in the raisins brought about the decrease in blood pressure. \"\" Prior studies had already supported that if you give people potassium, blood pressure would go down,\"\" he said."

Talk to your doctor before making any changes in your diet, especially if you have allergies or health conditions. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Nutrition Facts Raisins may look like pieces of shriveled dog food, but they're actually grapes that are dried in the sun or with the use of a food dehydrator. Raisins are nutritious and may provide you with a boost of energy, but they're also high in calories and sugar. A 1/4-cup serving of raisins contains 130 calories, no fat, 10 mg sodium, 31 g carbohydrates, 2 g dietary fiber, 29 g sugar and 1 g protein. Raisins contain small amounts of iron and calcium and are also a source of polyphenols, antioxidant compounds that may be linked to a decreased risk of heart disease and cancer. Raisins in Moderation Raisins eaten sparingly are nutritious as a snack or as part of a meal, but like all dried fruit, they are high in calories. If you consume raisins too often and don't control your overall caloric intake, the excess calories may lead to weight gain. In addition, the sugar content of raisins can contribute to tooth decay and may cause your blood triglyceride levels to rise."

While the 3,500-calorie rule is used by health-care professionals to help promote both weight gain and loss, and may be a good place to start, weight gain isn't that simple. There are a number of factors that may affect your specific weight-gaining calorie needs, including gender, body composition, metabolic rate and your daily activity.

While eating any extra calories -- even ones from fast food, ice cream and other \"\"junk\"\" -- will result in weight gain, following a nutritious diet is a healthy way to add pounds to your frame while also meeting your nutritional needs.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Weight Gain, Calories and Raisins On its most basic level, weight gain is about calories in vs. calories out. Specifically, you'll need to eat 250 to 500 calories on top of what you already need to maintain your weight. This calorie surplus translates to 0.5 to 1 pound of weight gained each week. Raisins are a relatively concentrated source of calories, so they can help you reach your calorie surplus goals. A half-cup serving of seedless golden or regular raisins -- measured without packing -- supplies 218 calories. If you enjoyed a serving of raisins on top of your regular meal plan, you'll almost hit a 250-calorie surplus goal, even without making any other changes to your diet.

As you know they make snacking easy – whether you're at home or are backpacking in the great outdoors!Also they're great nutrition for kids ... Add grapes to fruit roll-upstoo and for added sweetness to smoothies! Raisins are also great in breads and in your breakfast cereal. Grapes Contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids!Did you know that grapes have been dried for thousands of years and have many hidden health benefits? Grapes are a great source of vitamins A, C and K before they become raisins BUT when they ARE raisins, they have more Choline, Niacin, Folate, and Betaine, with higher trace amounts of Thiamin, and Riboflavin!In the mineral department, raisins beat grapes hands down in Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Fluoride. Both grapes and raisins contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Dehydrating Grapes – Fun to Do – Everyone Loves Raisins!Coming up, I'll tell you more about cutting them in half after you have washed and removed the stems – or you may leave whole if desired. If you cut them in half, place the grapes on the dehydrator sheet with the cut side facing up, so that the grape juice doesn't drip down to the trays below! ("

"text": "\"Related Articles Are Raisins Healthy? Are Saltine Crackers Healthy Are Mashed Potatoes Healthy? What Are the Benefits of Eating Raisins Every Day? When you're eating on the go, crackers and cheese offer a convenient and filling snack option. They help you consume your grain allowance for the day -- 3 ounces for women or 3.5 ounces for men, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture -- and also contribute to the 3 cups of dairy you should consume each day. Crackers and cheese contain some beneficial nutrients, but they also have some nutritional drawbacks that might keep them from being a healthy addition to your diet. Carbohydrates and Protein Cheese and crackers can provide a source of healthy carbohydrates and protein. Crackers made with whole grains provide a source of dietary fiber, an indigestible carbohydrate that keeps you regular and helps fight constipation. The fiber content of crackers depends on the variety you choose -- wheat crackers provide 1.1 grams of fiber per serving, while 7-grain crackers provide 2.7 grams. Crackers and cheese also contain protein, providing amino acids your body needs to maintain healthy and strong tissue."

"text": "By Geoff Williams If you’re a new hamster owner or considering whether or not to purchase a pet hamster, you might be wondering what hamsters can eat. In reality, however, the question to ask is: what should hamsters eat? While they can eat a variety of things, some foods are far better for hamsters than others. Here are some dos and don’ts when it comes to feeding your fuzzy friend. Feeding Your Hamster: General Guidelines The easiest and safest approach to feeding your hamster is to go with a complete meal that you can find at a pet or store. “I recommend one of the complete [hamster] meals that comes in square blocks. They’re a pelleted feed,” said Robyn Mc George, registered veterinary technician and owner of Robyn’s Nest in Germantown, Ohio. These pellets are preferable to a hamster-formulated seed mixture because many hamsters will pick out what they like from these mixtures, missing some of the nutritional value in the seeds they don’t eat, Mc George said. Cindy Cribbs, owners Haven for Hamsters Rescue and Sanctuary, feeds their hamsters about a tablespoon of food once a day. Giving your hamster any more food than that may lead them to hoard their food. “"

A cup of coffee or a sugary snack may supply a sudden burst of zeal- but it’s often short lived and lacking in composure. Selecting the right snack to satiate your hunger and restore your wits as lunch so languidly approaches is absolutely essential. But, let's get real. In addition to a snack that revitalizes, most of us want a munchie that is as palatable as it is practical. The good news is- it's not difficult to find a snack that fits both of these characteristics. But- the first step in finding the right snacks for the office is knowing what you need while snacking at the office. What Makes for a Good Snack in an Office Setting?

Snacks can keep us satisfied with something tasty to chew on, but aimless indulgence can result in overeating and, consequently, weight gain."

Cacao is the raw, pure form of chocolate. Made from the fruit of the cacao tree, cacao is minimally processed (One Green Planet, 2014). In contrast, cocoa powder contains cacao that has been heated and processed to create a smoother chocolatey flavor; you can learn more about the differences between cocoa and cacao here. Eating cacao powder is a great way to boost your intake of beneficial nutrients. Health Benefits of Cacao Powder Ancient pottery from Central America suggests that indigenous peoples have been using cacao for more than 3,000 years (Mercola, 2015). Now that modern science has exposed the beneficial chemicals within cacao, it is easy to see why this food was so prized. Raw cacao powder contains more than 300 different chemical compounds (Mercola, 2015). Among the most beneficial of these compounds are antioxidants. Antioxidants are a class of molecules that sweep through your cells, mopping up damage created by free radicals."

"text": "Gemstone Origins Modified: April 2017 by Elizabeth Gass Treasured by all cultures and religions, gemstones have captured the imagination of humans for thousands of years. During that time, gemstones have been credited with powers of protection, healing, wisdom--even invisibility and life. But where do gemstones come from? Most gemstones are made from the crystalline forms of different minerals (except for non-mineral, organic gems like pearls, coral, and amber). Minerals form through naturally occurring processes that combine chemicals, heat, and/or pressure. The concentrations of chemicals determine the structure and color of the crystals. The temperatures and pressures that the crystals form under affect their size and shape. Most mineral crystals are tiny, but a few grow large and fine enough to be cut into gemstones of rare beauty. Those gemstones are the crowning glory of the mineral world. While we don't consciously think about them, minerals play an important role in our everyday lives."

In this index, you'll find pictures of minerals like those you'll most likely encounter in your expeditions. This list starts with the handful of common minerals called the rock-forming minerals, followed by the most common accessory minerals—you'll find them scattered in many different rocks but seldom in large amounts. Next, you'll see a set of rare or notable minerals, some of which are common in commercial rock shops. Finally, you can check out some special galleries designed to help you to identify your specimens. You may find the A-to-Z mineral list more useful, depending on your purpose. You can also explore a separate table listing the common names of gemstones along with their mineral names.

Rutile is the most common natural form of Ti O 2. Many more rarer polymorphs of Ti O 2 are known:anatase (sometimes known by the name \"\"octahedrite\"\"), a metastable tetragonal mineral of pseudo-octahedral habit;brookite, an orthorhombic mineral;Ti O 2 (B), a monoclinic form. [ 5] (akaogiite and riesite are the very current monoclinic new adds)Rutile has one of the highest refractive indices at visible wavelengths of any known crystal and also exhibits a particularly large birefringence and high dispersion. Owing to these properties, it is useful for the manufacture of certain optical elements, especially polarization optics, for longer visible and infrared wavelengths up to about 4.5 μm. Natural rutile may contain up to 10% iron and significant amounts of niobium and tantalum. Rutile derives its name from the Latin rutilus, red, in reference to the deep red color observed in some specimens when viewed by transmitted light.

"text": "Turquoise Turquoise is considered by some to be a symbol of good fortune and success, believed to bring prosperity to its wearer. In the language of chemists and geologists, turquoise is known as “copper aluminum phosphate.” Turquoise is often found in weathered igneous rock that contains copper minerals, where it crystallizes in veins and nodules. The gemstone usually develops in rock near water tables, located in semiarid and arid environments. The chemicals in turquoise come from adjacent rock, leached out by rain and groundwater. Turquoise is a relatively soft gemstone, and can be easily scratched and broken. This porous opaque stone is easily discolored by oil and pigments, and changes color when it loses some of its water content. A sky blue shade in turquoise is due to the presence of copper, while iron gives it a greener tone. Ochre and brown-black veins in the stone occur during the formation of turquoise, caused by inclusions from nearby rock fragments or from oxide staining. The most valued variety of turquoise is an intense sky blue color, like the color of a robin’s egg."

In some Amethyst deposits, the Amethyst has been partially or fully changed over to yellow Citrine by natural means of heating. Natural Citrine, which is rare, is yellow to orange-yellow, and occurs in much lighter hues than the heat-treated material, which is dark orange-brown to reddish-brown.

Diamonds are brought to the surface from the mantle in a rare type of magma called kimberlite and erupted at a rare type of volcanic vent called a diatreme or pipe. Kimberlite is a gas-rich, potassic ultramafic igneous rock that contains the minerals olivine, phlogopite, diopside, serpentine, calcite, and minor amounts of apatite, magnetite, chromite, garnet, diamond, and other upper mantle minerals. Upper mantle xenoliths are found in some kimberlite and provide clues to the magma's origin. The source depth for kimberlite magmas is estimated at 200 km, more than twice as deep as the source region for most magmas. At a depth of 200 km the pressure is 60,000 times greater than the surface and the temperature is about 1500 C. Kimberlite magmas are rich in carbon dioxide and water which brings the magma quickly and violently to the surface. Most kimberlites occur as multiple intrusive events. Kimberlite was named for the rock associated with diamonds in Kimberley, South Africa. Right: Simplified from Hawthorne (1975)."

"text": "\"Difference Between Schist And Gneiss• Categorized under Science | Difference Between Schist And Gneiss Metamorphism Rocks that are buried deep in mountainous ( orogenic) zones are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, for example due to continental shift. This causes the mineral composition of the original rock, called the protolith, to recrystallize into new structures over thousands of years. This process is described as regional metamorphism. Other types include contact (caused by baking), hydrothermal (caused by movement of hot fluids) and cataclastic (caused by faulting) metamorphism. It is important to note that metamorphism does not alter the chemical composition of rocks; rather, it only changes the mineral structure and thus the physical properties. Thus, while it may be difficult to distinguish between certain types of schists or gneisses, classification by chemical methods are reliable. [ i]Foliation When sedimentary rock (e.g. shale and mudstone) undergoes regional metamorphosis, the clay minerals form platy minerals, also known as ‘micas’. The results of micas and elongate minerals recrystallizing into parallel arrangements that are perpendicular to the applied pressure, are known as foliation and lineation respectively. Foliated rocks have a layered appearance due to these parallel streaks of different-coloured minerals. Non-foliated rocks, on the other hand, are composed of minerals that have recrystallized into solid, interlocking networks."

Is this a good long term solution for better health? Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi, I have become a vegan which is dairy free since excess unneeded calcium can cause plugging diseases similar to what excess cholesterol from eggs does to plug the heart's arteries. I thought I would give you some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad 'uninformed' choices. Many years ago I found that the Atkins Diet Plan made me healthier compared to my old high carb diet since it put my diabetes symptoms into remission, but please consider my experiences when I used the Atkins philosophy for my long term nutrition. What now works best in order for me to keep my pruritus-Urticaria in remission, after my gallbladder-biliary-liver and heart disease problems, is a VEGAN diet that is low-carb low-fat and high-protein. Because of my gallbladder-biliary-liver disease I no longer can eat nuts or olive oil or dressings or other fats or any cholesterol because it causes immediate pruritus since my liver’s biliary system is plugged with cholesterol and calcium sludge, and I can not eat too many carbs because of yeast infections that break out after one, two, or three high carb meals. What I now do is what they teach most students in high school nutrition classes - which is to add up the vitamins and minerals from my ‘digestible’ foods and calculating the RDA's [Recommended Dietary Allowances] or DV's [Daily Reference Values] for each day to see if I am more than 100%. Things like bran is not considered since it is not digestible for humans, and is like a work horse or work oxen eating straw instead of digestible grass or alfalfa leaves."

"text": "\"HUMAN FOODSTUFFS BAD FOR CATSCopyright 2008, Sarah Hartwell Cats are obligate carnivores. Their teeth and gut have evolved for eating a diet exclusively of meat. In the wild, the only vegetable matter they would normally eat is in the gut of prey or in the form of grass chewed for medicinal purposes. Because any harmful substances in plants is normally broken down in the liver of their prey animals, cats have not needed to evolve good liver function. This makes them susceptible to poisoning from foods that other species can eat without ill-effect. Domestic cats are often more adventurous in their tastes and will often sample vegetables and fruit. There is also a long, but erroneous, tradition of giving cats milk. Cats have not evolved to eat these things. With the exceptions of fruit and vegetables listed below, a little of these does not harm and can address constipation or obesity by adding bulk to the cat's diet. Other food enjoyed by owners should not be given to cats at all."

Our dog won’t eat. What on earth do we do? Thirty years ago, we didn’t have the Internet to consult, and one couldn’t find anything on the subject. When I encountered issues, I relied on advice from fellow fanciers, the school of hard knocks, and always my veterinarian. What follows was born of experience – but first, a caveat. No animal will willingly starve itself. If your dog experiences a lack of appetite or a change in behavior that lasts for over a week, always have him or her seen by a vet. You need to rule out illness before embarking on solving a dog’s eating problem. My approach to such things is to first look for obvious, but often overlooked reasons (put another way, when hearing hoof beats, think horses not zebras)."

Feeling Nauseous After Eating Surprisingly, nausea or stomach pain after eating eggs or chicken is common for many people. At least it is for me, which is too bad since chicken and eggs are a couple of my favorite foods!In general, nausea after eating can be extremely uncomfortable. In fact, a person’s stomach may be so upset that they feel a sudden need to vomit. Feeling nauseous after eating can be attributed to several possible causes, including the gastric flu, postprandial hypotension, appendicitis, gallbladder disease, irritable bowel disease, migraine headaches, anxiety, indigestion or heartburn. Pregnant women are also sometimes nauseous after eating certain meals. When a person experiences nausea one to eight hours after eating, food poisoning may be the root cause of the issue. Food allergies are also a common cause of nausea after eating. In fact, food allergies and food poisoning are both possible causes of nausea after eating eggs or chicken.

Salmonella bacteria typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through feces. Humans become infected most frequently through contaminated water or food. Typically, people with salmonella infection have no symptoms. Others develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps within eight to 72 hours. Most healthy people recover within a few days without specific treatment. In some cases, the diarrhea associated with salmonella infection can be so dehydrating as to require prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications also may develop if the infection spreads beyond your intestines. Your risk of acquiring salmonella infection is higher if you travel to countries with poor sanitation.

The unit of toxin measure is the hemagglutinating unit (hau). Raw kidney beans contain from 20,000 to 70,000 hau, while fully cooked beans contain from 200 to 400 hau. White kidney beans, another variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, contain about one-third the amount of toxin as the red variety; broad beans (Vicia faba) contain 5 to 10% the amount that red kidney beans contain. As few as 4 or 5 beans can bring on symptoms. Onset of symptoms varies from between 1 to 3 hours. Onset is usually marked by extreme nausea, followed by vomiting, which may be very severe. Diarrhea develops somewhat later (from one to a few hours), and some persons report abdominal pain. Some persons have been hospitalized, but recovery is usually rapid (3 - 4 h after onset of symptoms) and spontaneous."

Human blood p H should be slightly alkaline ( 7.35 - 7.45 ). A p H of 7.0 is neutral. A p H below 7.0 is acidic. A p H above 7.0 is alkaline. An acidic p H can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic p H by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur. An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables."

They are usually cooked or pickled, although they are sometimes eaten raw. \"\" Filet\"\" beans are snap beans that must be picked before they are thicker than 1/4 inch. They are elegant, French-style vegetables, but require very frequent harvest, as beans picked even a day too late will be fibrous and tough, and yields are lower. \"\" Romano\"\" beans have broad, flat pods. Pods of all types may be green, yellow (\"\"wax\"\"), purple, or striped. Purple pigment disappears during cooking, and cooked purple beans will appear dark green. Shelling beans, sometimes called \"\"horticultural beans,\"\" are harvested when the pods have begun to dry and become more fibrous, and the seeds are fully sized but still soft."

"text": "\"Bean From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Beans)navigation search For other uses, see Bean (disambiguation). \"\" Painted Pony\"\" dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris)Bean plant Beans and plantain A bean is a seed of one of several genera of the flowering plant family Fabaceae, which are used for human or animal food. Contents [ hide ]1 Terminology2 Cultivation3 History4 Types5 Health concerns5.1 Toxins5.2 Bacterial infection from bean sprouts5.3 Antinutrients6 Nutrition7 Flatulence8 Production9 See also10 References11 Bibliography12 External links Terminology The word \"\"bean\"\" and its Germanic cognates (e.g., Bohne) have existed in common use in West Germanic languages since before the 12th century, [1] referring to broad beans and other pod-borne seeds. This was long before the New World genus Phaseolus was known in Europe. After Columbian-era contact between Europe and the Americas, use of the word was extended to pod-borne seeds of Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna. The term has long been applied generally to many other seeds of similar form, [1] [2] such as Old World soybeans, peas, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), other vetches, and lupins, and even to those with slighter resemblances, such as coffee beans, vanilla beans, castor beans, and cocoa beans. Thus the term \"\"bean\"\" in general usage can mean a host of different species. [ 3]Seeds called \"\"beans\"\" are often included among the crops called \"\"pulses\"\" ( legumes ), [1] although a narrower prescribed sense of \"\"pulses\"\" reserves the word for leguminous crops harvested for their dry grain. The term bean usually excludes legumes with tiny seeds and which are used exclusively for forage, hay, and silage purposes (such as clover and alfalfa ). According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization the term bean should include only species of Phaseolus; however, enforcing that prescription has proven difficult for several reasons."

"text": "Revenge of the Beans: How Lectins Suck Your Energy And Make You Weak By: Dave Asprey As you check out the new Bulletproof® Diet infographic (just posted in advance of the Bulletproof® Diet book launch!) you’ll notice that lentils and beans, as well as some other foods like tomatoes and potatoes, are out of the green zone. There’s a reason!This is one area where the Bulletproof Diet does not match the Slow-carb diet recommended by Tim Ferriss in the 4-Hour Body. People often ask why they should avoid these foods. So here’s the science behind the diet…Lectins 101: Why lentils, tomatoes, and potatoes make you weak Some Bulletproof Diet recommendations are based on the presence of lectin in foods. Be sure to realize that lectin is not the same as leptin, the hormone that controls whether you’re fat, or lecithin, a type of fat found in eggs, sunflowers, or soy. If those similar names aren’t confusing enough, lectin has an impact on leptin too. Lectins matter to the performance level of everyone, but they are particularly important if you have a thyroid condition, or if you have any kind of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cystitis, or even if you are simply 100 pounds overweight (like I was). This is because lectins are tied directly to inflammation and autoimmune reactions in your body. Lectins are a form of protein found in nearly all plants and animals."

"text": "VCE Publications / 420 / 420-147The ABCs of Cost Allocation in the Wood Products Industry: Applications in the Furniture Industry420-147Henry Quesada-Pineda, Assistant Professor, Wood Science and Forest Products, and Business and Manufacturing Extension Specialist Introduction Every manufacturing firm requires allocation of raw materials consumption, labor, and overhead expenses to processed goods in order to determine the final manufacturing costs. In most industries, manufacturing costs range from 60 to 70 percent of the final sale price. Therefore, the need for effective cost allocation systems is vital to control manufacturing costs. In manufacturing firms such as the furniture industries, raw materials and labor might be assigned directly to a product, process, or activity. However, some overhead or indirect costs require the establishment of distributing or cost driving bases to allocate them to final goods. This publication was developed based on concerns from furniture producers that more training in cost accounting methods should be available for practitioners. The paper discusses the basics of cost accounting and explains the strengths and weaknesses of two cost accounting techniques — the direct method and the activity-based costing (ABC) method — using simple examples and applications in the furniture industry. The Impact of Cost in Manufacturing Manufacturing costs including design and engineering activities have critical impacts on overall manufacturing costs. Many of the problems encountered in manufacturing can be traced back to the design process. In wood products companies such as furniture firms, there are many manufacturing problems that arise because of a bad design."

"text": "\"Analyzing a company's operating results is often the most important aspect of equity analysis. How well a company generates operating cash flow dictates how well it can satisfy the claims of creditors and create value for common shareholders. In order to assess this value creation, investors do well by analyzing a company's operating income, operating cash flow and operating margins. Why Are Operating Margins Important? Operating income is revenue less operating expenses for a given period of time, such as a quarter or year. Operating margin is a percentage figure usually given as operating income for some period of time divided by revenue for the same time period. Operating margin is the percentage of revenue that a company generates that can be used to pay the company's investors (both equity investors and debt investors) and the tax man. It is a key measure in analyzing a stock's value. Other things being equal, the higher the operating margin, the better. Using a percentage figure is also very useful for comparing companies against or analyzing the operating results of one company over various revenue scenarios."

"text": "Create An Income Statement In 4 Easy Steps By Rochelle Bailis3 min read The Income Statement—also called the Profit and Loss Statement—is used to weigh a company’s revenue against its expenses in order to calculate its profits. Comparing Income Statements over a period of time helps a company evaluate where they can reduce expenses, grow revenue and increase profit overall.1. Pick a Time Period An income statement can be calculated on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis to measure your company’s profits on a macro or micro level. There are various federal regulatory agencies that require companies to prepare their financial statements on both a quarterly and annual basis for tax purposes. On top of this, many companies choose to create income statements on a monthly basis to look for patterns in their profits and expenditures. Any company that is considering applying for a business loan will need to use income statements to show sufficient stability and growth over a period of time.2. Add Up Revenue The first number to tally on an Income Statement is your total sales. For cash-based businesses, which document sales based on when a customer makes a payment, you will add up the total cash you have already acquired. If your company operates on the accrual method, this means you recognize transactions when the goods have been delivered but your business has not necessarily been paid. In this case you will also include accounts receivable (money owed) as revenue."

"text": "\"What Is A Cash Flow Statement? The statement of cash flows or the cash flow statement, as it's commonly referred to, is a financial statement that summarizes the amount of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a company. The cash flow statement (CFS) measures how well a company manages its cash position, meaning how well the company generates cash to pay it's debt obligations and fund it's operating expenses. The cash flow statement complements the balance sheet and income statement and is a mandatory part of a company's financial reports since 1987. In this article, we'll show you how the CFS is structured, and how you can use it when analyzing a company. ( Also check out our tutorial, An Introduction To Fundamental Analysis . ) How A Cash Flow Statement Is Utilized The CFS allows investors to understand how a company's operations are running, where its money is coming from, and how money is being spent. The CFS is important since it helps investors determine whether a company is on a solid financial footing. Creditors, on the other hand, can use the CFS to determine how much cash is available (referred to as liquidity) for the company to fund its operating expenses and pay its debts. The Structure Of The CFSThe main components of the cash flow statement are: Cash from operating activities,Cash from investing activities,Cash from financing activities,A fourth category, disclosure of noncash activities, is sometimes included when prepared under the generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP."

"text": "\"Production Preparation Process (3P): Lean Concepts for Project Planning Mike Bresko, GPAllied Introduction The 3P – Production Preparation Process – is a project management, design, and process-development approach that creates a dramatically more reliable and efficient production process. It focuses on eliminating waste through product and process design. 3P causes the development team to reject the idea of incremental improvement and provides a structure for trying alternative solutions. Toyota has used 3P to achieve competitive advantage. Progressive companies in the aerospace, automotive, and other industries are using 3P. However, its use within companies in the metals, petro-chemical, and similar industries is rare. This paper will describe its origin, define 3P, summarize what companies that use 3P say about it, explain its benefits, introduce Lean Thinking, describe the 3P method, and explain how 3P can apply in the metals industry. 3P’s Origin 3P’s origin begins at Toyota Motor Company in Japan. Adopting Ford’s concepts of eliminating waste and continuous flow assembly, Kiichiro Toyoda introduced Toyota’s first vehicle in 1935. During that time, he documented so called management innovations that included precepts (guiding principles) and the foundations of continuous and breakthrough improvements. Over time, these management innovations were refined and extended to include production systems by others."

These consolidated and combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the consolidated and combined Group’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS as issued by the IASB”) do not provide for the preparation of combined financial statements and accordingly in preparing the consolidated and combined financial statements certain accounting conventions used in combining financial statements have been applied."

"text": "Defining the Income Statement The income statements reports the revenues, expenses, and overall net profit or loss over a given reporting period. Learning Objectives Define the income statement in the broader context of financial accounting Key Takeaways Key Points The income statement ultimately provides insights on profitability through tracking revenues and the expenses incurred to gain those revenues. The income statement starts with revenues, which represent the overall incoming proceeds from sales of products and/or services. The cost of the goods sold, alongside the selling and general administrative costs, depreciation, and R&D are subtracted from those revenues as expenses. Non-operating items such as taxes, cost of financing, and other sources of miscellaneous revenues or expenses are calculated after that. This results in the net income or loss over the given reporting period. Dividing the net income by overall sales will provide the organization’s profit margin. Key Termsdepreciation: The decline in value of assets. Profitability: The capacity to produce capital, in this context through organizational operations. What is an Income Statement The income statement is one of the main financial statements all publicly traded organizations around the world generate on an regular basis as a reporting tool for stakeholders and the general public."

Why Your Dog Should Not Eat Pork Bones Even though dogs love bones and are inseparable from them, research shows bones are not a dog’s best friends. It is not a good idea for dogs to eat pork bones. Most all vets will tell you not to feed your dog cooked bones of pigs because they can splinter causing harm to their insides.

To keep your bone in pork chop from going dry you can use the quick way 'Shake 'N Bake' from your grocery store. Another way is to dip pork chop in 1 - 2 eggs stirred up with fork and salt/pepper added (or garlic powder) and then dip in bread crumbs with a little more salt/pepper (or garlic powder.) You can substitute the bread crumbs with crushed corn flakes if you like. Bake on aluminum foil lined cookie sheet at 350 degrees for approx. 40 minutes. Check in 30 minutes and if you make a small slice into the thickest part of the pork chop then it will need further cooking time and you can check when the 40 minutes are up.10 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Should Meat Be Washed First Before Cooking?19 Comments Print Email I’ve always rinsed raw meat before cooking (especially chicken or turkey…inside & out) and I know more than one person who crumbles apart ground beef, ground turkey and even separates bacon slices to wash before frying. Why? We’re working off the theory that by rinsing meat first, we’ll wash away any surface bacteria that may be present. Even Ground Meats Aren't Safe From Some Raw Meat Washers According to the United States Department of Agriculture, this isn’t a recommended practice (see Washing or Soaking Meat and Poultry ): Washing raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb, or veal before cooking it is not recommended. Some consumers think they are removing bacteria from the meat and making it safe. For safety, use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature. Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts, and chops can be cooked to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160°F. All poultry should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F."

Nutritional Components of Bone In order to understand the nutrition bones provide to pets, it's first necessary to nail down exactly what we're talking about when it comes to bones. Raw bones contain marrow. However, marrow isn't bone. It's comprised primarily of fat and blood components, which are high quality nutrients – just not nutrients provided by the bone itself. There is also cartilage attached to raw bones. Cartilage also isn't bone. It is connective tissue composed of about 50 percent collagen and mucopolysaccharides (chains of glucose molecules combined with mucous). Collagen is fibrous connective tissue that is poorly digested by pets. According to Miller's Anatomy Of The Dog, 2nd Edition i:\"\"Bone is about one third organic and two thirds inorganic material."

Ask yourself a couple of quick questions: How many people are you planning to feed? The average serving size for pork is 3 ounces of cooked meat. Start with 4 ounces of boneless, raw pork to yield 3 ounces of cooked pork. A 3-ounce serving is about the size of a deck of cards. What is the eating occasion? If time is limited for a weeknight meal, select smaller quick-cooking cuts such as pork chops, cutlets, cubes or strips. If you’re entertaining for a holiday meal and have several other dishes to prepare, consider choosing larger, slow-cooking cuts such as roasts that cook several hours and require little attention. Reading the Meat Label Here’s a quick overview of what’s on the label: Type of meat — Listed first on every label, this indicates whether the cut is pork, beef, lamb or veal.

These foods can be contaminated with bacteria and viruses ( Norovirus, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Staphylococcus or E. coli ), parasites ( Toxoplasma gondii ), mold, or contain toxins (pesticides, mushroom toxin). An estimated 48 million cases of foodborne illness occur annually in the United States. How do I get food poisoning? Food poisoning may occur from consuming: Raw fishes or oysters Undercooked meats or eggs Any food prepared using cooking utensils, cutting boards and other tools that are not fully cleaned Water from a well or stream, or city or town water that has not been treated Dairy products or food containing mayonnaise (eg, coleslaw or potato salad) that have been out of the refrigerator for too long What are the symptoms of food poisoning? Symptoms of food poisoning range from diarrhea to long-term health problems or even death. Common symptoms include nausea and vomiting, dehydration, watery, non-bloody diarrhea, fever, upset stomach and abdominal cramps. In most cases, symptoms go away on their own within 2–3 days. Contact your health care provider if the following occurs as your infection may be serious: Diarrhea along with high fever ( > 101.5°F)Blood in the stool Unable to rehydrate because of consistent vomiting Signs of dehydration (decrease in urination, dry mouth, and feeling dizzy when standing up, or having diarrhea for more than 3 days)How is food poisoning treated?"

How can you help protect yourself and others from getting a foodborne illness? Get Yourself a Thermometer These days, food thermometers aren’t just for your holiday roasts—they’re for all cuts and sizes of meat and poultry, including hamburgers, chicken breasts, and pork chops. Using a food thermometer when cooking meat, poultry, and even egg dishes is the only reliable way to make sure you are preparing a safe and delicious meal for your family. Why Use a Food Thermometer? Everyone is at risk for foodborne illness. One effective way to prevent illness is to use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, and egg dishes. Using a food thermometer not only keeps your family and customers safe from harmful food bacteria, but it also helps you to avoid overcooking, giving you a safe and flavorful meal.

Answer by Crazie Eddie Confidence votes 103NEVER give dogs cooked bones! Most vets frown on feeding dogs any kind of bone - but many include rawhide and plastic bones too. The problem is caused by pieces breaking off and getting lodged in the digestive tract. My vet says a dog can have problems with Kong's too! Pork has been known to carry diseases not found in other food animals, which is why it must be cooked properly for human consumption - dogs may or may not be immune. Personally, I would avoid feeding pork bones, and go for a nice big beef knuckle bone instead. I have fed my dogs RAW chicken bones and beef bones, but I fed chicken wings and necks, or beef knuckle bones. I always avoided any bones that can break into sharp slivers, like leg bones."

This potentially leads to many dangerous problems. Your dog may choke on the bone fragments. A splinter may become lodged in your dog’s mouth, throat, esophagus, or internal organs. Your dog may get peritonitis, a bacterial infection caused when the stomach or intestines are punctured. Your dog may become constipated due to bones lodged in the stomach or intestines. All of these issues could require a costly vet visit to cure. Even constipation, which when mild can be treated at home, may become severe enough to require medical intervention to remove the blockage.

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

Hopefully one puppy will stay to live with me and the other has a lovely home waiting for her where her new mom will feed her nothing but raw food. By the time these puppies go home, they will have eaten chicken, turkey, beef, pork, lamb, venison, rabbit and more and they will do so with little in the way of tummy upsets. When you bring home a new puppy that was not raised on raw, it can be a bit trickier to get him started – although really not that difficult. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow to avoid digestive upset as your puppy transitions from kibble to raw food. Before I start, I’d like to address the issue that many people have with feeding large breed puppies raw. I’ve raised every litter and puppy in the last fifteen years on raw and have never had one of my puppies fail his hips and elbows. Yes, it is important to balance the calcium and phosphorus content in the food, but it’s easy to do with raw food – and in light of the dog foods that were recalled due to excesses of some nutrients, the ability to monitor the nutrients in raw food makes it a safer option than kibble in my opinion. Here are a few tips for getting your puppy started on raw with a minimum of fuss – and minimal stains on your rugs!1. Start off cold turkey It’s not wise to mix your puppy’s raw food with kibble."

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

A simple solution to this problem is to serve your dog raw chicken! The bones are the easiest for dogs to shatter, and chicken is a good composition of protein, fats, and bone. The only cons I can see with raw chicken in the BARF diet is that there isn't much oral cleaning going on because the meat and bone from chickens are so easy to tear through. It's perfectly fine though. If you are following the BARF diet to feed your dogs, dogs need the variation of different animal proteins, different cuts, and varying portion sizes.

The tapeworm Genus Taenia comprises many different important species of tapeworm parasite infesting dogs, cats, humans, rodents and livestock animal species. Species of parasitic Taenia tapeworms important to human and animal medicine include: Taenia saginata (known as 'the beef tapeworm') - the adult form of the tapeworm resides in the human intestine (technically making it as much a human tapeworm as a 'beef' or cattle tapeworm) and the juvenile stage of the tapeworm (the stage of the tapeworm life cycle contagious to humans) resides in the muscles or meat of cattle (and to a lesser extent buffalos, llamas, giraffes, sheep, goats and certain deer species); Taenia solium (the pork tapeworm) - a very dangerous tapeworm species whose adult form resides in the human gut and whose lethal juvenile or larval form resides in the muscles and organs of pigs and people (this page contains loads of information on the dangerous Taenia solium pork tapeworm so read on); Taenia pisiformis - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried by rabbits and hares; Taenia ovis - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried in the muscles and hearts of sheep; Taenia taeniaeformis - a tapeworm in cats whose larval form is carried by rodents such as rats, muskrats and voles; Taenia hydatigena - a canine tapeworm whose larval form is carried by sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, deer and wild livestock ungulates; Taenia multiceps - a canid (dog and dog-related species) tapeworm whose larval form isgenerally carried in the brains of sheep and goats (occasionally horses, rabbits and cattle); Taenia crassiceps - a tapeworm of foxes or dogs whose juvenile stages are generally carried by rodent animals; Taenia serialis - a fox and dog tapeworm carried by rabbits, hares or rodents. Taenia brauni - a fox and dog tapeworm carried by gerbils. The different species of Taenia all tend to be very species specific with regard to the animal hosts, both definitive and intermediate (intermediate hosts and definitive hosts are discussed in section 1), that they will activelyinfest. For example, Taenia saginata: the beef tapeworm, will only infest humans (definitive host)and, for the most part, cattle (intermediate host). Likewise, Taenia pisiformis: one of the two major 'rabbit tapeworms', will only infest canine species (definitive host) and rabbits (intermediate host). Having said this, despite there being vastly differing kinds of host animals involved in each of the Taenia species' life cycles, the overall two-host life cycle structure of the various Taeniid species does seem to be similar in all cases. For this reason, the different Taenia species can all be discussed using a common Taenia life cycle diagram, which is what I have chosen to do (see section 1). This Taenia tapeworm life cycles page contains a detailed, but simple-to-understand explanation of thecomplete Taeniid tapeworm life cycle."

SHARE ON: Ian Mc Donnell/i Stock Consumers have frustrated professional cleaners for decades when they purchase furniture that “looks and feels good,” but is difficult to maintain and to clean. Furniture that has such pleasing aesthetics has historically been made from natural fibers, which often have a very soft hand, bright colors, and are comfortable to sit on. These natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, wool, as well as synthetic regenerated cellulose materials such as rayon and acetate) fill all of these needs, but are challenging to clean. More recently, “nubuck leather” broke into the market within the last decade, but this “feel good” fabric has proven to be even more difficult to maintain than the above-mentioned textiles. Enter microfibers Microfibers are not new to our industry. In the late 1970s, Ultrasuede™ was introduced as an upholstery fabric. This polyester fiber so convincingly imitated true suede that otherwise trained and savvy cleaners turned down the opportunity to clean what they thought was a very difficult material to service, when in reality it had very few challenges. Microfiber remained a relatively small percentage of the fabrics we cleaned until nubuck leather left its mark on the industry."

Viscose is actually a type of rayon, even though “viscose,””viscose rayon,” and “rayon” are often used interchangeably. What started as “artificial silk” in the late 19th century became known as rayon in 1924, with the name “viscose” coming from “ a viscous organic liquid used to make both rayon and cellophane .” Per Swicofil.com, rayon is “the generic term for fiber (and the resulting yarn and fabric) manufactured from regenerated cellulose by any one of six processes.”"

It is made from a variety of materials with cotton and silk as the most common. Silk has been a very popular cloth since it was first developed in China, but it was very expensive so that people searched for a cheaper substitute for it. This led to the development of rayon, a processed fabric which was originally produced in France. Rayon is a manufactured fiber which is neither natural nor artificial. Although it comes from cellulose, which occurs naturally in plants, it has undergone several chemical processes before it is turned into its present form. It is called a regenerated cellulose fiber because it is made with cellulose fiber which is reformed or reconstructed. It is a highly absorbent fabric and is easy to dye. It can be woven or knitted to produce clothing such as skirts, shirts, and gowns, but it was originally developed for use in the making of home furnishings.

As with any creation that mankind tinkers with, the methods by which it has been produced have changed very much since the very first attempt in the mid 1800's when the original intent was to imitate silk. One of those methods resulted in the material be called Viscose Rayon because of its process. While Viscose is considered Rayon, it's characteristics and content require a dry-clean only care whereas the particular Rayon that we are printing on (which is a HWM Rayon (high-wet-modulus, meaning it performs better while wet)) can actually be washed and dried.

The man-made fibers--and a steadily growing palette of synthetic additives--made it possible to add flame-retardancy, wrinkle and stain resistance, antimicrobial properties and a host of other performance improvements.01of 12Blue Jeans and Denim Fabric Jill Ferry Photography / Getty Images Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1873 invented blue jeans in response to the need for laborers for durable men's workwear. The traditional fabric used in blue jeans is denim, a durable cotton twill textile. Historically, denim was made of silk and wool in Nimes, France (hence the name \"\"de Nim\"\"), and not of the all-cotton variety we are familiar with today.02of 12Fox Fibre®In the 1980s, Sally Fox's passion for natural fibers led her to reinvent the naturally colored cotton used in cotton fabrics, mostly as a response to the pollution caused via the bleaching and dying processes performed in coloring cotton fabrics. Fox crossbred brown cotton, which also produced green cotton, with the aim to develop longer fibers and richer colors. In turn, Fox's organic discoveries help to preserve the environment and can be found in everything from underwear to bed sheets.03of 12GORE-TEX®GORE-TEX® is a registered trademark and the best-known product of W.

Cellulose was used to produce the first successful thermoplastic polymer, celluloid, by Hyatt Manufacturing Company in 1870. Production of rayon (\"\"artificial silk\"\") from cellulose began in the 1890s and cellophane was invented in 1912. In 1893, Arthur D. Little of Boston, invented yet another cellulosic product, acetate, and developed it as a film. The first commercial textile uses for acetate in fiber form were developed by the Celanese Company in 1924. Hermann Staudinger determined the polymer structure of cellulose in 1920."

"text": "Does Rayon Shrink in the Dryer? Posted by Mary Beth Benoit in Clothes Dryers, Rayon ANSWER: Pure rayon DOES shrink in the dryer. More Info: Viscose rayon, which is rayon that is not woven with another material, has a low wet strength, which makes it vulnerable to shrinking in the wash. Viscose rayon garments are usually labeled as dry clean only. Many rayon fabrics are blended with other fabrics such as polyester and if present in a ratio of at least 30% of the overall garment, it is generally safe to wash and dry. Polynosic rayon is a rayon that has been modified to have a high wet strength and is also safe to wash and dry. Selecting a Blouse Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences What Is Rayon? Rayon is a manufactured semi-synthetic fiber derived from processed cellulose. The highly adaptable rayon fibers can be manipulated during the manufacturing process to mimic a number of completely natural fibers such as silk or cotton. The resulting fabric is lightweight and easy to dye, which makes rayon a popular fabric in warmer climates."

It can be found in cotton-like end uses, as well as sumptuous velvets and taffetas. It may function successfully in absorbent hygiene and incontinence pads and equally well providing strength in tire cords. What is this fiber that has so many faces? Rayon was the first manufactured fiber. T he term rayon was officially adopted by the textile industry. Unlike most man-made fibers, rayon is not synthetic. It is made from wood pulp, a naturally-occurring, cellulose-based raw material. As a result, rayon's properties are more similar to those of natural cellulosic fibers, such as cotton or linen, than those of thermoplastic, petroleum-based synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. Although rayon is made from wood pulp, a relatively inexpensive and renewable resource, processing requires high water and energy use, and has contributed to air and water pollution."

Though rayon is considered to be synthetic it is made from tree cellulose. It was first manufactured by an American Company named, Avtex Fibers Inc in 1910. There are different kinds of rayons, and most of them are highly absorbent, easy to dye, soft on the skin and became very popular when it was first produced. Content How is Rayon processed? Applications of viscose How is Rayon processed? Viscose is manufactured by treating purified cellulose in caustic soda solution to form a salt of soda cellulose. It is pressed to remove excess caustic sodathe soda cellulose is then squeezed and shredded to increase the surface area so as to make it more pliable to processing.

Calculate the mass of a substance that is produced or consumed in a chemical reaction, given the mass of any other species involved in the reaction. Mass Relationships in Reactions. Chemical equations contain information about the relative masses of reactants involved in the reaction. The balanced equation can be used to decide how many grams of one substance will be needed to react with a given mass of another, or how many grams of product can be produced by the reaction of a specific mass of a reactant. For instance, the balanced equation2Al + Fe 2O 3 Al 2O 3+ 2Fe2 mol 1 mol 1 mol 2 mol53.96 g 159.70 g 101.96 g 111.70 gstates that 2 moles of Al will react completely with 1 mole of Fe 2 O 3, and will yield 1 mole of Al 2 O 3 and 2 moles of Fe. Converting these molar amounts to grams, we find that 53.96 g Al reacts with 159.70 g Fe 2 O 3, producing 101.96 g Al 2 O 3 and 111.70 g Fe. The mass relationships as discussed in the above reaction can be determined only from the balanced equation. The equation, however, is written in terms of moles, not grams. The quantitative relationships between elements and compounds in chemical reactions is a part of chemistry called stoichiometry."

It is the balancing point of a chemical reaction, when it seems to stop happening. Although some reactions (like the combustion of propane) occur to completion (no backwards reaction), most reactions occur in both the forward and backward direction. One reaction will occur at a faster rate than the other, causing a net result. As the reaction progresses, the forward reaction slows down and the backward reaction speeds up. When the rates are equal, equilibrium has occurred. The reaction appears to have stopped, and the total amount of products and reactants remains stable. Chemical reactions never really stop, but they no longer make any progress once the forwards and backwards reactions are occurring at the same rate. This is equilibrium.

FACTORS AFFECTING RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONSThe rate of a chemical reaction is affected by several factors like:1) Concentration of reactants2) Pressure3) Temperature4) Catalyst5) Nature of reactants6) Orientation of reacting species7) Surface area8) Intensity of light9) Nature of solvent The effect of these factors are discussed below. CONCENTRATION OF REACTANTSRate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.i.e. rate (r) ∝ c nwherec = concentrationn = order of the reactionor r = kc nwherek = specific rate Explanation: The number of collisions and hence the activated collisions between the reactant molecules increase with increase in concentration. Therefore, according to the collision theory, the rate of a reaction should increase with increase in the concentration since the rate is directly proportional to the collision frequency.i.e., rate of reaction ∝ collision frequency (Z)The rate of a reaction decreases exponentially with time as the concentration of reactants is decreasing. This can be shown graphically as follows: PRESSUREThe partial pressure is another way of expressing the concentration for gases. The number of collisions increases with increase in the partial pressures of gases. Hence the rate of reactions involving gaseous reactants increases with increase in partial pressures. However it has no effect on reactions involving reactants in liquid or solid phases. It is important to keep in mind that the partial pressures of reactants can be increased by increasing the pressure of overall system."

Each cell runs on the chemical energy found mainly in carbohydrate molecules (food), and the majority of these molecules are produced by one process: photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration. The energy that is harnessed from photosynthesis enters the ecosystems of our planet continuously and is transferred from one organism to another. Therefore, directly or indirectly, the process of photosynthesis provides most of the energy required by living things on earth. Photosynthesis also results in the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. In short, to eat and breathe, humans depend almost entirely on the organisms that carry out photosynthesis.

As such, they are vital to such bodily functions as digestion, and they make possible processes that normally could not occur except at temperatures so high they would threaten the well-being of the body. A type of protein, enzymes sometimes work in tandem with non-proteins called coenzymes. Among the processes in which enzymes play a vital role is fermentation, which takes place in the production of alcohol or the baking of bread and also plays a part in numerous other natural phenomena, such as the purification of wastewater. HOW IT WORKSAmino Acids, Proteins, and Biochemistry Amino acids are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and (in some cases) sulfur bonded in characteristic formations. Strings of 50 or more amino acids are known as proteins, large molecules that serve the functions of promoting normal growth, repairing damaged tissue, contributing to the body's immune system, and making enzymes. The latter are a type of protein that functions as a catalyst, a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without participating in it. Catalysts, of which enzymes in the bodies of plants and animals are a good example, thus are not consumed in the reaction. Catalysts In a chemical reaction, substances known as reactants interact with one another to create new substances, called products.

Catalysis today is almost always associated with rate acceleration, and is very important in industry because rate acceleration usually means that a chemical compound can be made more cheaply and cleanly. It is hard to envision what modern society would be like without its use of myriad chemicals, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, most of which are prepared industrially by catalytic chemistry. The rate of reaction refers to the amount of reactant consumed or product formed per unit of time at a given temperature and pressure. Generally speaking, the rate of reaction goes up as the temperature of the reaction is raised. This is related to the fact that most reactants have to \"\"climb\"\" over one or more energy barriers to reach the product stage. This can be likened to one's climbing a hill. The taller the hill, the more energy one expends in reaching its top. Reactants must become energetic enough to \"\"reach\"\" the top of an energy barrier if a reaction is to occur."

But fear not, it's mostly Grade-4 arithmetic: simple proportionality and fractions. And even if you don't plan on doing any serious Chemistry later on, you will find the contents of this lesson an excellent review of these topics that will enable you to easily tackle any number of other numerical problems that come up again and again in everyone's life.1 How to read and write chemical equations Chemical equation basics (Carrington, 9 min)In a chemical reaction, one or more reactants are transformed into products:reactants → products The purpose of a chemical equation is to express this relation in terms of the formulas of the actual reactants and products that define a particular chemical change. For example, the reaction of mercury with oxygen to produce mercuric oxide would be expressed by the equation Hg + O 2 → Hg O 2Sometimes, for convenience, it is desirable to indicate the physical state (gas, liquid or solid) of one or more of the species by appropriate abbreviations: Hg (l) + O 2 (g) → Hg O 2 (s)C (graphite) + O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g)C (diamond) + O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g)However, this is always optional. Chemical equationsmustbe balanced!Basically, this means that chemical equations must be consistent with the law of conservation of mass: In the context of an ordinary chemical reaction, conservation of mass means that atoms are neither created nor distroyed. This requirement is easily met by making sure that there are equal numbers of all atoms on both sides of the equation. When we balance an equation, we simply make it consistent with the observed fact that individual atoms are conserved in chemical changes. There is no set “recipe’’ for balancing ordinary chemical equations; it is best to begin by carefully studying selected examples such as those given below. For more detail, see the guidelines and examples in Chapter 7 of Prof. Mark Bishop's excellent online textbook Introduction to Chemistry Some helpful videos on balancing equations Beginner's guide to balancing equations (bozemanbiol, 11 min)Balancing equations (Mr B, 9½ min)Balancing equations (Khan, 14½ min)Tips and tricks for balancing equations (Isaacs Teach, 7 min)Problem Example 1: combustion of propane Write a balanced equation for the combustion of propane C 3 H 8 in oxygen O 2."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders ). [ 1] For many reactions the rate is given by a power law such aswhere [A] and [B] express the concentration of the species A and B, respectively (usually in moles per liter ( molarity, M)). The exponents x and y are the partial reaction orders and must be determined experimentally; they are not in general equal to the stoichiometric coefficients. The constant k is the reaction rate constant or rate coefficient of the reaction. The value of this coefficient k may depend on conditions such as temperature, ionic strength, surface area of an adsorbent, or light irradiation. For elementary reactions, which consist of a single step, the order equals the molecularity as predicted by collision theory. For example, a bimolecular elementary reaction A + B → products will be second order overall and first order in each reactant, with rate equation. For multistep reactions, the order of each step equals the molecularity, but this is not generally true for the overall rate. The rate equation of a reaction with an assumed multi-step mechanism can often be derived theoretically using quasi-steady state assumptions from the underlying elementary reactions, and compared with the experimental rate equation as a test of the assumed mechanism. The equation may involve a fractional order, and may depend on the concentration of an intermediate species."

To understand the meaning of a rate law. The factors discussed in Chapter 14, Section 1 “Factors That Affect Reaction Rates” affect the reaction rate of a chemical reaction, which may determine whether a desired product is formed. In this section, we will show you how to quantitatively determine the reaction rate. Reaction Rates Reaction rates are usually expressed as the concentration of reactant consumed or the concentration of product formed per unit time. The units are thus moles per liter per unit time, written as M/s, M/min, or M/h. To measure reaction rates, chemists initiate the reaction, measure the concentration of the reactant or product at different times as the reaction progresses, perhaps plot the concentration as a function of time on a graph, and then calculate the change in the concentration per unit time. The progress of a simple reaction (A → B) is shown in Figure 14.5, where the beakers are snapshots of the composition of the solution at 10 s intervals. The number of molecules of reactant (A) and product (B) are plotted as a function of time in the graph."

Also, are commissions dropping with this cooling market? — Shawn Dear Shawn, Yes, real estate commissions are negotiable by law. In fact, all real estate fees are negotiable. Real estate commissions, which are typically split between the buyer’s agent and listing agent, have dropped in recent years from the old standard of nearly 6 percent to a national average of just under 5 percent, surveys and agent polls indicate. In May, the U. S. Justice Department hammered out an antitrust settlement with the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, designed to spur competition and bring down commissions. As part of the deal, NAR can no longer withhold the information on the multiple listing service, or MLS, from such discount online brokers like Zip Realty and Redfin. Some discount brokerages, I might add, now offer commission rebates of 1 percent or more, although they may not offer the full range of services others do. Additionally, many agencies and independents have taken to offering simple fee-based “a la carte” services in home transactions to scare up business."

Do you know how much a real estate agent who lists a house for sale typically gets? Equally important, do you know how much the agent who brings you in as a buyer gets paid? In other words, are you aware of how the total commission pie gets sliced up? You may have heard that the “standard” commission is 6 percent, split between the listing agent and the selling agent who represents the buyer. A portion of the agents’ splits then goes to the brokerage under whose banner they work. But 6 percent isn’t the real number. The average commission rate nationwide on home sale transactions hasn’t been 6 percent since 1992, when it was 6.04 percent, according to Real Trends, an industry publishing and consulting firm that obtains confidential transaction data from brokerages annually. In 2005, at the height of the housing bubble, it was 5.02 percent and in 2013 it was 5.38 percent. Why bring this up?"

When choosing a broker to hold your license, the commission arrangement may not be the most important factor. Weigh the services that your broker provides to agents, as well as the expected number of prospect leads and their quality. If you're receiving a large number of quality leads, then a smaller commission split percentage will still lead to more income for you.02 The Traditional Broker/Agent Commission Split•••The vast majority of real estate agents are compensated by a broker via sharing the gross commission amount that the broker collects. We're not discussing percentages charged to the client here, only the way the agent is compensated. Here's an example:1. Gross commission amount of a transaction = $12,000.2. Broker/Agent split of 50% broker/50% agent = $6000 to the broker and the same to the agent.3. The percentage split is an amount agreed to by the broker and the agent and usually reflects the level of services and support the broker provides.

Anonymouson Sun Jun 12 2005, 8:00PM VIEW5 Answers Anonymouson Sun Jan 22 2006, 7:00PM VIEWReal estate agent commissions or realtor commissions are fees paid to the listing (representing the house for sale) and selling (representing the buyer of the house) agent at the close of a real estate sales transaction. These fees can vary from one real estate deal to the next, or real estate agency, or market region. Realtor commissions are usually determined by the real estate office, agency, or market region. Commissions are shared between the listing and selling agents. Furthermore, the \"\"house\"\" or real estate agency for each agent gets a cut. An average commission breakdown follows: House sales price: $200,000Commission percentage: 6%Total commission: $12,000 (6% of $200,000)Listing agent percentage: 3% (of $200,000) = $6,000Selling agent percentage: 3% (of $200,000) = $6,000But each of the agents may not actually pocket $6,000. The real estate agency still needs to receive its percentage of the commission. Real estate agents and brokers need the agency for different reasons."

There are two key agent costs to consider – fees and commission. Generally, the fees involved when hiring a real estate agent are designed to cover their costs for advertising and marketing your property, while their commission is a percentage of the sale price that they get for your property. The average commission real estate agents charge varies between states and between metro vs. regional areas – the lowest is about 1.6% and the highest about 4%. Across the country the average charge is around 2% to 2.5% of the sale price of your home, or from $10,000 to $12,500 when selling a $500,000 house. Marketing costs usually come on top of this, and can also vary a lot – from around $500 into the thousands – depending on how far you want to reach and how diverse you need the advertising to be. But agents don't all structure their fees in the same way. Some include the cost of advertising in the commission and quote a higher rate, while others will use a ‘sliding scale' or ‘tiered' commission, say 2% on the first $860,000, and 5% on anything above that, which acts as an incentive to work harder for a higher sale price (a practice quite common on more expensive properties).

An agent lists a property for sale and the listing contracts stipulates how much commission will be paid when a sale takes place. If the listing agent sells the property, he earns the commission. If another agent sells it, the commission is split between the selling agent and the listing agent. However, the agent doing the work may be and employee of the real estate agency, in which case the agency keeps part of the commission and pays the other part to the agent.

"text": "January 26, 2016You’re Under Contract – Now What? Due Diligence and Earnest Money in North Carolina Buying and Selling Homes What happens after your offer to purchase a home is accepted? The weeks leading up to closing can either be stressful or uneventful; there may be many unexpected things that come up or, if you’re lucky, it may be smooth sailing. Either way, as either a buyer or seller, knowing what to expect during this period can go a long way for your peace of mind, as well as help you think strategically through the “what-ifs” before they happen. So, what DOES happen after your offer is accepted? If you are buying or selling real estate in North Carolina, as soon as both parties sign the contract, you enter into what is called the due diligence period. ( Most states have something similar, but real estate law and practice vary from state to state, so you should consult with a local real estate expert in your area! ) Once your offer is accepted, the house-hunting has come to an end and it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty of home inspections and repair requests. This can be daunting for many first-time (and experienced) home buyers, and so part of my job as a North Carolina real estate agent is to help my clients navigate what can be a stressful process. To get through due diligence smoothly you need to understand exactly what will happen, what money is on the line when, and what your options are at each stage of the process."

"text": "When you set out to buy or sell a house, one factor worth considering is a real estate agent's fees. Unfortunately, most people are only interested in how much these fees are, and have no idea how they work or who even pays them once a transaction is complete. Here we take a look at some of the more universal principles of real estate fees. TUTORIAL: How To Buy Your First Home How Much? The commissions paid to real estate agents are negotiable and therefore they vary. Although many people believe that commission is always 6%, a 2004 report by REAL Trends Data showed the average commission rate in the U. S. to be 5.1%. That percentage is a percentage of the sale price of the home, so the exact amount this will entail will not be known until an offer has been accepted and the house is sold. Any commission to a real estate agent must be negotiated as part of the contract between the agent and the buyer or seller before the deal is completed.

"text": "Agency Agreements The ABC's of Agency: Understanding Real Estate Brokerage Relationships in Georgia I. Introduction: Real estate brokers are licensed professionals trained to help consumers buy, sell, or lease real property. The business relationship between real estate brokers and consumers can take many forms, each of which is called a brokerage relationship. This brochure describes the types of brokerage relationships most commonly offered by real estate brokers. Hopefully, the brochure will make it easier for consumers to make informed choices on how best to work with a real estate broker. It should be noted that real estate brokers are not required to offer all of the brokerage relationships described in this brochure. Instead, each real estate broker is free to decide which of these relationships he or she will offer. II. Real Estate Brokerage Generally: As a general rule, only licensed real estate brokers can be paid a fee to help consumers buy, sell, or lease property. Many brokers have licensed real estate salespersons, commonly known as real estate agents, who act on behalf of the broker in helping consumers buy, sell, or lease property. While real estate agents can be employees of the real estate broker, most act as independent contractors."

"text": "In this article Commissions by state Commissions by capital city Real estate fees and negotiation Marketing and advertising Additional fees and cost tips Other selling costs to consider When you're shortlisting potential agents to help you sell your property, one of the most important deciding factors is their costs. There are two key agent costs to consider – fees and commission. Generally, the fees involved when hiring a real estate agent are designed to cover their costs for advertising and marketing your property, while their commission is a percentage of the sale price that they get for your property. The average commission real estate agents charge varies between states and between metro vs. regional areas – the lowest is about 1.6% and the highest about 4%. Across the country the average charge is around 2% to 2.5% of the sale price of your home, or from $10,000 to $12,500 when selling a $500,000 house. Marketing costs usually come on top of this, and can also vary a lot – from around $500 into the thousands – depending on how far you want to reach and how diverse you need the advertising to be. But agents don't all structure their fees in the same way. Some include the cost of advertising in the commission and quote a higher rate, while others will use a ‘sliding scale' or ‘tiered' commission, say 2% on the first $860,000, and 5% on anything above that, which acts as an incentive to work harder for a higher sale price (a practice quite common on more expensive properties).

Lenders can also skip the flat fee and charge in a more piecemeal fashion, but the sum can’t exceed that same 1% of the loan. Either way, there are some costs that VA buyers aren’t allowed to pay, including a termite inspection fee or a mortgage broker fee. Any other party to the transaction—the lender, the seller or even a real estate agent—needs to cover these kinds of unallowable fees. But there’s no requirement that the seller automatically cover one of these unallowable fees. It’s just a matter of who cannot pay: the VA buyer. Closing costs & concessions Sellers aren’t required to pay anything toward a VA buyer’s closing costs. Who pays what will always be a product of negotiation between buyer and seller. VA buyers can ask a seller to pay all of their loan-related closing costs, which can include origination fees, mandated inspections and other costs."

May 30, 2011in Tips When Selling a Home It’s often said that it takes money to make money, and that’s certainly true when you’re selling your home. If you’re thinking about selling your home, you may be asking yourself, “What are the costs involved in selling my home, and how can I lower them?” The first step to lowering the costs involved in selling your home is being aware of what they are, so be prepared for the following costs when shopping for settlement services. How Can I Lower Real Estate Agent Costs When Selling My Home? The first thing to decide when selling your home is whether or not you will sell your own home or use a professional real estate broker to act as your proxy, show your home to buyers, and assist you in closing the deal. If you decide to use a real estate broker, he or she will be paid a sales commission based on a percentage of the selling price of your home. The real estate agent’s sales commission is one of the largest costs when selling your home, and, in a down economy, the real estate agent’s sales commission is usually paid by the seller. Therefore, one of the most important things you can do to lower the costs involved in selling your home is to negotiate with the real estate agent for a lower sales commission. Typically, the average commission for a real estate agent is 6 percent of the final home sale value."

"text": "\"Difference Between Dominant and Recessive• Categorized under Biology | Difference Between Dominant and Recessive Dominant vs Recessive Genetics is the science of heredity, genes, and the differences in living organisms. It is a biological discipline that deals with the structure and function of genes, their behavior and patterns of inheritance from the parents to the offspring. In the case of humans, as each individual is formed by the union of the egg and sperm cells of both parents, a diploid cell containing the necessary genetic materials to create him is developed. This genetic material is composed of chromosomes with individual genes or alleles containing specific traits. For each trait, an individual acquires two copies of genes or alleles, one from the mother and the other from the father. If the two alleles from both parents are similar, the offspring is homozygous, and if they are different, the offspring is heterozygous in which case the stronger of the two will show up in the offspring while the weaker one is masked. The allele or gene that shows up is called “dominant,” and the allele that is masked is called “recessive.” Recessive alleles or genes will only show up if the offspring inherits recessive copies of the trait from both parents. Dominant genes are usually the ones that are oftentimes observed in an offspring and passed down to subsequent generations while recessive genes will only show for a few generations and eventually disappear. Dominant genes are represented by capital letters and recessive genes are represented by small letters."

In opposition to autosomal dominant trait, a recessive trait only becomes phenotypically apparent when 2 copies of a gene two alleles are present. In other words, the subject is homozygous for the trait. Technically, the term recessive gene is impresive because it is not the gene that is recessive, but the phentype or trait or alleles.

Each gene has a designated place on every chromosome, called a locus. All copies of a gene are not identical and alternative forms of a gene is called alleles that lead to the alternative or different form of one trait. Alleles are helpful in identification of the two members of a gene pair, which produce opposite contrasting phenotypes, e.g., b is an allele of B and vice versa. When the two alleles of a gene are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trail, and on the other hand, if there are two different alleles, the individual is heterozygous.

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

Answered Aug 15, 2014 · Author has 75 answers and 375.6k answer views This is a frequently asked question, and to understand it, we need to differentiate between dominance and frequency of expression. While many traits may be expressed as a measure of the dominance of genes over their recessive alleles, a more important consideration is that of the frequency of a particular allele of the gene. For example, diseases like Marfan's Syndrome, or Huntington's disease are both autosomally dominant, but the genes coding for these conditions are rare, so we don't see them very often in a population, statistically speaking. Basically, the measure of how common a particular trait is within the population depends not only on whether it's dominant or recessive, but what the frequency of the gene is within the gene pool. The ABO system has 4 different types namely A, B, AB, and O. A single gene, of which there are two pairs per person, codes for all of these types. Hence we have A,B, andialleles for this gene. The Aand Balleles are autosomal dominant, while theiallele is recessive. A person expressing AAor Aiwill have Type A blood group Likewise, someone expressing BBor Biwill be of Type B blood group An individual expressing ABwill be of Type AB blood group Someone expressingiiwill be of the Type O blood group As we can see, at first glance, it looks like more people should belong to the A or B blood groups , just on the basis of dominance. However, from the graph above, we can see that the O blood group is in fact the most common blood group."

There is one complication: cs and cb are co-dominant (dominant over other genes, but not dominant over each other). If a cat inherits one of each, the pattern is intermediate between colourpoint and sepia and is called mink. The Tonkinese breed was created by breeding Siamese and Burmese cats together. Inbreeding (breeding together closely related individuals) tends to bring out recessive genes because the animals carry similar combinations of genes and there is more likelihood of any hidden genes meeting up and, therefore, showing up. Inbreeding does not create recessive traits, it just increases the probability of recessive genes being manifested."

[ 1] [2] The most common type is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) which typically affects males beginning around the age of four. [ 1] Other types include Becker muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and myotonic dystrophy. [ 1] They are due to mutations in genes that are involved in making muscle proteins.

"text": "Contents1 Main Difference2 Dominant3 Recessive4 Key Differences5 Video Explanation Main Difference Dominant and recessive are the two types of genes. The main difference between dominant and recessive is, dominant gene is expresses completely in the phenotype while recessive gene is not completely expresses in the phenotype. Recessive gene cannot be fully expressed in the presence of a dominant gene but when it is alone, it is expressed fully. Dominant Dominant gene, trait, factor or even allele is capable of expressive itself completely in a phenotype, even in the presence of recessive gene. It is able to express itself, irrespective of the presence of recessive gene. It does not require similar allele to produce its effect on the phenotype. Moreover, dominant factor is capable of forming a complete polypeptide or forming a complete enzyme for expressing its effects. For instance, red color of a flower or tall height of a person. A person or even a plant is said to acquire the character which is dominant in nature rather than the recessive one. Dominant alleles are useful but in some cases like in achondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism, dominant mutations occur in some genes which results this disease."

The cause of these varying features is not only because of corresponding genes, but also how they express themselves. Follow the dominant and recessive traits list in this article, and you will know more secrets about genetics. How do Your Genes Work? Your DNA is responsible for who you are, how you act and even how you look. It is an instruction manual; only that instructions are in the form of genes. Each gene contains specific information that makes up a part of you. A good example is your hair color, which is determined by a single gene that contains instructions about it."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Botany What are dominant and recessive alleles?1 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: As Mendel stated in his Law of Segregation, each organism has two genes for each trait. The different forms of a gene are called alleles. If both genes are are identical, the organism is said to be homozygous for that trait. For instance, Mendel's purebred tall plants possessed two tall genes and are said to be homozygous tall. Likewise, a purebred short plant has two short genes and is said to be homozygous short. If the two alleles are different, the plant is said to be a hybrid or heterozygous for that trait. As Mendel noted, when both alleles are present, one allele masks or hides the other. The stronger allele is said to dominant, and the weaker allele that is masked is said to be recessive. Genes contain information about a specific characteristic or trait and can either be dominant or recessive. Genes are found on chromosomes and each gene has a designated place on every chromosome, called a locus."

These 2 machines are probably the 2 most popular forms of exercise equipment on the market today. Each of them have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. This article will help you decide between an exercise bike vs treadmill by listing the advantages of each. Treadmill Advantages: Walking is one of the easiest exercises to do – and anyone young or old, beginner or novice athlete can do it. Treadmills offer the following advantages:#1) Folding Units Can Save Space While bikes usually take up less space than a treadmill when in use – treadmills can often be folded up and wheeled out of the way. It’s much harder to find a folding exercise bike (ok, a GOOD folding exercise bike).#2) More Exercise Options A treadmill can offer several different types of exercise options – from gentle walking to jogging to hard-core running. You can also do incline walking to add some higher calorie burning into the mix.#3) More Entertainment Options Although bikes are getting better in this area, treadmills are still the king in terms of entertainment options. For example you can get treadmills with built-in TVs, specialized fitness programs and even Web Browsers built into the console."

"text": "Killer Recumbent Bike Workoutsby Jill Coleman on August 26, 2009By Jill Coleman As a reformed “cardio queen,” I have to admit, I never considered the recumbent bike a respectable piece of equipment. It never seemed as hard-core as running or doing the stepmill or taking a group cycle class. However, after a weight-bearing injury left me flat on my butt, I found myself on the recumbent bike, using it as a low-impact alternative. Forced to create my own intensity, I pushed through some seriously tough workouts, torching fat and sculpting my legs like a never dreamed. Why Pedal The recumbent bike is a piece of cardiovascular equipment that places the user in the seated position with the feet forward and back against a pad, as opposed to the upright bike which is more similar in orientation to a regular bicycle. For a biomechanical perspective, it is advantageous to use the recumbent bike to take pressure off the joints of the lower body. The recumbent has traditionally been recommended by doctors and physical therapists to patients whose joint conditions require them to get activity through non-weight-bearing exercise. As a trainer, I found another use for it: leg burning device to torture my legs and bring them out of their stubborn non-responsive funk. Because of the orientation of the bike, the movement loads the glutes and the quadriceps predominantly, paying particular attention to the area right below the glutes referred to as the “glute-hamstring tie-in” by many fitness professionals. The glute-hamstring tie-in is a notoriously stubborn place of fat storage for many women and also one of the first places on the body take on cellulite with age."

Working out on a stationary recumbent bike or riding a recumbent bicycle on the road have similar health benefits as regular bicycles. They provide cardiovascular exercise, help you watch your weight and increase your strength. Recumbents also have the additional benefits of better safety and more comfort, and they put less stress on your knees and hips. Cardiovascular Exercise Cardiovascular, or aerobic, exercises use large muscle groups such as the quadriceps and hamstring muscles of the thighs and the gluteal muscles of the buttocks. Recumbent cycling is a form of cardiovascular exercise and might help to strengthen your heart and lungs and improve your body’s ability to use oxygen. Regular cardiovascular exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure and make breathing easier, according to Web MD.

Its 700c rear wheel helps give it a 130” high gear so it can make use of that speed too. No need for extra large chainrings that may not shift well. I think the big rear tire gives a bit less rolling resistance, especially on textured roads like chip-seal pavement. Catrike 700 Recumbent Tadpole Tricycle The stock tires are a bit thin for some of the varied conditions encountered when commuting or on gravel bike paths. You could fit wider tires without much effort or expense. The 700c rear wheel also gives a little smoother ride, never a strong point on a Catrike due to their rigid frames.

Kids will ride their bikes everywhere and anywhere in any conditions. They gain high skills with the upright two wheelers. When they grow up, when they think bicycle, they think upright two wheelers. Despite some interesting outliers, recumbents' advantages are only on smooth pavement. As a huge segment of the market is off road or trick riding that recumbents have significant disadvantages for, they are substantially limited. To Tom's point, racing of all types is strictly classed. Recumbents aren't excluded from competition with upright bikes as some sort of abnormal situation. Formula 1 cars don't compete with Formula 2 cars don't compete with stock cars don't compete with Dakar racers. There are some exceptions, but in strict competition, there are limits."

"text": "\"This a description of how to build a Short Wheel Base Recumbent Trike. Design Goals The aim for this project was to build a recumbent trike using as much as possible available material to keep the costs down. I estimate that it would cost about $100 if you have most of the bike parts available and it could end up at $500 if you bought them new and of good quality. This at first was easy to achieve till I realised that there just wasn’t going to be enough braking power using the standard calipers so I opted for a drum rear wheel which put the cost up considerably. I did originally intend to use coaster wheels at the front so they could be set up for braking but this didn’t work out for 2 reasons.1. The braking force would place a strong twist on the axle and quite possibly they would sheer off. I figured there is more than enough force on the axle as it is and would have used a thicker axle like what is used on wheel chairs if I could have done it cheaply. Wheel Chair hubs are priced here at $25 but there would also be in the costing a rim, spokes and wheel building fee so I'm not sure it would be worth the cost over drum braked wheels.2. The pedal mechanism isn’t made to return to the same spot as in a drum brake and although this may still work would at least make the setup fiddly. Along with this description of how to make the trike you may also like to refer to the Web site ' Recumbent Cycle Component Design & Construction ' for detailed options on building components."

Riding a recumbent bike gives you cardiovascular exercise along with the opportunity for some resistance training, if you set the bike on a difficult setting such as one that mimics an uphill ride. It's meant to work your lower body, engaging your legs, hips and rear while you sit more comfortably than on a traditional bike. How Riding Helps Your Looks A recumbent bike helps you burn fat, which can make you look trimmer all over your body. There's no way to truly spot reduce; if you want to lose the extra fat hanging onto your hips, cardiovascular exercise -- of any type, not just exercise that targets a specific area -- combined with resistance training and a healthy diet is the only way to make it happen. Riding the bike for hours won't trim fat if you don't burn more calories than you take in. Riding the bike with resistance, however, can tone muscles in your lower half. These muscles just might not show through until you've burned off enough fat throughout your body. Working Your Legs The main areas recumbent bikes work are in your legs. They help tone the muscles and give your legs a more defined appearance."

"text": "\"Are Exercise Bikes Good for Toning Legs?by NICOLE VULCAN Sept. 11, 2017If you've ever seen the killer legs of a competitive cyclist, then you should have a pretty good idea of what bicycling is going to do for your bottom half. While it's not quite the same as riding out there on the road, indoor cycling can help you tone up your legs, get in shape and, if you do it at least 150 minutes a week, keep you in compliance with the minimum exercise recommendations for all adults, according to the U. S. Department of Health & Human Services. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Calories You'll Burn When it comes to getting shapelier legs, a big part of the equation is reducing the fat that's surrounding your existing muscles. To do that, you have to do exercises that burn calories, which definitely can include riding an exercise bike. On average, a 155-pound person will burn about 260 calories in 30 minutes riding a stationary bike at a moderate pace. Since you have to create a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound, working out on the bike at even that moderate pace will get you there over time. Upright bikes tend to help you burn more calories than recumbent bikes, since you're in a more reclined position in the recumbent. If you have back pain or other pain, don't let that stop you from choosing the recumbent over the upright, however, since the better choice is the one that you can do longer without pain. Muscles You'll Use One of the primary functions of an exercise bike is to help you burn calories, but all that pedaling is also going to help you tone some of your muscles. Among the muscles that will get a workout are the quadriceps of your thighs, the hamstrings at the back of your upper legs, your calf muscles and your abdominals."

"text": "\"Dr. Daniel Pozarnksy -Chiropractic Physician/Elite Trainer Fitness I like the stationary bike for weight loss over the recumbent bike. With the stationary bike you have to use more postural muscles to perform your workout. With the recumbent bike you are going to use fewer muscles in your back and hips to stabilize your larger leg muscle doing the work. The main factor to remember in weight loss is, \"\"the more muscle you can work per exercise session the greater your metabolism will increase which will increase your calorie burn over the next 1-2 days. To Your Health!-Dr. PCecilia Alston , NASM Elite Trainer Fitness When it comes to what type of machine you use for cardio, it really does not matter what you use. The only difference between the stationary bike and the recumbent bike is that one has the seat like a chair to protect your back. If you have back problems and you wish to start or continue a cardio program by using a machine then the recumbent bike is the way to go. Either bike that you use in order to get the most out of that workout you must challenge yourself by adjusting the resistance levels on the bike. Many bikes have different workout options on the bike such as fat loss or heart rate and if choose one of those programs it will automatically adjust the time and resistance settings to the best option for you."

Stationary bikes, both recumbent and upright, place less stress on the joints then some other cardio equipment options and are relatively comfortable once you become accustomed to sitting in the saddle, or seat, for an extended period of time."

Regular cyclists gain both speed and strength because biking requires both muscular and cardiovascular endurance. In general, cycling utilizes primarily the lower body muscles, but the core and arm muscles are also used. Powering Through the Legs and Glutes The quadriceps, hamstrings, calf and gluteus muscles perform the bulk of the biker's work. That's a good thing, because these large muscle groups burn more calories than small muscle groups, such as the biceps, do. Before riding, check your seat height. When seated, your leg should remain slightly bent when your foot is at the bottom of the pedal's motion. As you pedal, push down with one leg while pulling up with the other for maximum benefit."

"text": "Exercise bikes, static bikes, stationary cycles, bicycle ergometers - these are all names for the bicycles that you find in virtually every physiotherapy clinic, gym or health club across the world. Many knee rehabilitation protocols include cycling so why is this exercise modality so popular for knee rehabilitation? This article will give you an insight into the use of a cycle for knee rehabilitation. Firstly what we need to consider is that the broad goals of any knee rehabilitation programme are likely to be to -increase or restore knee joint range of movementincrease or restore knee joint stabilityincrease or restore the strength of muscles around the kneedecrease or eliminate painprevent reoccurrence of the injury In comparison with other exercises cycling is a relatively 'knee friendly' activity that can help to improve knee joint mobility and stability. Cycling is frequently used as a rehabilitation exercise modality after knee injury or surgery as well as part of the management of chronic degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. The bicycle has a number of features that make it a particularly good tool for knee rehabilitation: Non weight-bearing Low impact Uses a range of motion that is needed for most activities of daily living Controlled movement Variable resistance Stable position Cyclic movement nourishes joint cartilage Closed kinetic chain exercise ( see this article)Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise activity All of the major muscles of the legs are used at one point of another during cycling but the major muscles that are used for generating power are the quadriceps group, especially the quadriceps muscle rectus femoris (see diagram). During the pedal cycle the quadriceps mainly work as you push the pedal down and straighten your leg whilst the hamstrings at the back of thigh work to bend the knee. The amount the hamstrings work varies - if you are using pedals where your feet go under a strap your hamstrings work more as you can use them to pull the pedal up using the strap. By using cycling within the rehabilitation program the quadriceps can be strengthened whilst controlling the amount of stresses to the knee. Knees like cyclical movement without excessive forces as that is the way that the articular cartilage covering the ends of your bones gets nourished."

Indoor cycling has been a favorite and effective workout for decades and for a good reason. it works. Stationary or spin bikes are one of the best ways to get and incredible indoor workout because it offers a low-impact, high-intensity cardiovascular workout while it builds both strength and endurance. Types of Stationary Bikes There are many different types of stationary bikes. Traditional upright commercial bikes, spin bikes, street bikes mounted on an indoor trainer, and recumbent bikes are the most common forms of stationary pedaling. Getting the most from your workout, however, depends upon getting the right bicycle position before your ride. How To Set Up Your Bike for a Great Workout Bike Position Overview Your riding position can determine not only your pedaling efficiency but also your comfort. Most stationary bikes allow for adjustments in handlebar and saddle height, and some allow for more specific adjustments such as moving the seat forward or backward and even changing the seat angle. The more specific you make these adjustments; the more comfortable you will be, so it’s wise to spend the time getting the right set-up for you."

"text": "How to Use Watts to Plan an Indoor Cycling Workoutby JOSEPH MCALLISTER Sept. 11, 2017Watts are a way of measuring a rider’s power output while turning the pedals during a stationary bike workout. Most modern bikes have an option on their digital display to show the number of watts you are producing. The workout you choose will depend on your specific goals for your exercise session and will drive the number of watts you generate. Video of the Day Rewind 10 Seconds00:0000:58Fullscreen Workout No.1: Managing Power Output This is a balanced but challenging workout. Warm up for 10 minutes, gradually increasing your pace to a moderate power output of 80 to 120 watts. At the end of the 10 minutes you should be at a cadence of 70 to 90 revolutions per minute, or RPM. Your power output at this point will be your Baseline Watts, or BW. Over the next 10 minutes, increase your power output by 10 to 20 watts each minute. Decrease your power output incrementally by the same amount each minute for the next nine minutes, returning to your BW. End the workout with a 5- to 10-minute cool-down period."

November 21, 2013 Fitness Equipment Guide buying tips Pros and Cons of Exercise Bikes Vs Treadmills Shopping for fitness equipment and wondering which is better – an exercise bike or treadmill? These 2 machines are probably the 2 most popular forms of exercise equipment on the market today. Each of them have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. This article will help you decide between an exercise bike vs treadmill by listing the advantages of each. Treadmill Advantages: Walking is one of the easiest exercises to do – and anyone young or old, beginner or novice athlete can do it. Treadmills offer the following advantages:#1) Folding Units Can Save Space While bikes usually take up less space than a treadmill when in use – treadmills can often be folded up and wheeled out of the way. It’s much harder to find a folding exercise bike (ok, a GOOD folding exercise bike).#2) More Exercise Options A treadmill can offer several different types of exercise options – from gentle walking to jogging to hard-core running. You can also do incline walking to add some higher calorie burning into the mix.#3) More Entertainment Options Although bikes are getting better in this area, treadmills are still the king in terms of entertainment options. For example you can get treadmills with built-in TVs, specialized fitness programs and even Web Browsers built into the console."

Riding an exercise bike is a good way to strengthen your knee. Always consult with your medical doctor or a physical therapist before attempting any sort of knee exercises. Exercise Bikes Exercise bikes are often used for knee rehab because they can restore and increase range of movement and knee joint stability. They can also strengthen the muscles around the knee, specifically the quadriceps and the gluteal muscles. Bikes with a foot strap on the pedal allow a more intensive hamstring workout if you use the strap to pull up when pedaling. This is important because the quads and hamstrings are the main muscle groups that support the knee. Exercise bikes provide a low-impact, non-weight bearing exercise and are considered “knee friendly,” according to the Cartilage Health website. Resistance Work Resistance exercises strengthen the knee. The idea is to add weight — resistance — to your workout."

Written by: Tim Bura The upright exercise bike has been around for a long time now and was one of finest indoor workout machine to be invented, along with the treadmill. A relatively new entry into the world of fitness machines is the “recumbent” exercise bike. The recumbent exercise bike seeks to do away with all the discomfort and disadvantages that an upright bike posed for many workout enthusiasts who were just starting off. In this article we pit the recumbent exercise bike with upright exercise bike and see which one is the better of the two. Upright Bike Versus Recumbent Bike – Pros and Cons The recumbent bike comes with a seat with proper back support, it’s like sitting on a comfortable chair and pedaling away with your legs. So “comfort” is the USP for this exercise bike. Let’s look at some of the obvious advantages provided by the recumbent bike: It provides support for your lower and upper back, thus reducing any strain around these regions. You will not end up with a sore bottom after a bout of workout on this bike."

The key is to know how to use a stationary bike to your advantage. While spot reduction is not possible, increasing the intensity of your strength and core routine along with following a sensible diet will help you lose body fat all over, including belly fat. It is wise to talk about your fitness goals with your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen. Bicycle Sprints Interval training is highly recommended to efficiently burn fat. One way to do this is to begin with a five-minute warm-up at low speed, then pedal as fast as you can for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds and repeat this cycle a dozen times. Over time, extend the 20/10 ratio while increasing resistance and try to build your endurance up to riding a minute nonstop."

Working out on a stationary recumbent bike or riding a recumbent bicycle on the road have similar health benefits as regular bicycles. They provide cardiovascular exercise, help you watch your weight and increase your strength. Recumbents also have the additional benefits of better safety and more comfort, and they put less stress on your knees and hips. Cardiovascular Exercise Cardiovascular, or aerobic, exercises use large muscle groups such as the quadriceps and hamstring muscles of the thighs and the gluteal muscles of the buttocks. Recumbent cycling is a form of cardiovascular exercise and might help to strengthen your heart and lungs and improve your body’s ability to use oxygen. Regular cardiovascular exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure and make breathing easier, according to Web MD.

As you have seen, there are many different types of bicycles, which makes your decision process all the more difficult. At this time, I am going to focus on just two types: recumbent and upright exercise bicycles. Upright bikes have been a staple of every gym for quite some time now, and recumbent bikes have recently emerged as an interesting option, so I will try and compare the two. As always, I will try and provide you with an objective overview, without getting too technical. Both types have their pros and cons, and it would be ideal if you could get both, but most people are not able to afford that. But enough rambling, lets get to the point. Upright Exercise Bikes As I pointed out, upright exercise bikes have been popular for a long time, and there are even more reasons for you to like them now, as each new model issued comes equipped with new and advanced features which enhance your workout immensely. But before choosing an upright bike for yourself, you have to factor in a few things that aren’t directly related to the bike itself."

But, to understand why these cells are red you have to study them on a molecular level. Within the red blood cells there is a protein called hemoglobin. Each hemoglobin protein is made up subunits called hemes, which are what give blood its red color. More specifically, the hemes can bind iron molecules, and these iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells are red because of the interaction between iron and oxygen. ( Even more specifically, it looks red because of how the chemical bonds between the iron and the oxygen reflect light.) And it's very important for blood to be able to carry oxygen because when blood flows through the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen, and the blood carries this oxygen to the rest of the body until the oxygen is all used up -- the blood then returns to the lungs to get more oxygen. Here's more information on hemoglobin: hemoglobin Answer 2: Blood is red from the protein, hemoglobin."

Red cells are approximately 7.8 μm (1 μm = 0.000039 inch) in diameter and have the form of biconcave disks, a shape that provides a large surface-to-volume ratio. When fresh blood is examined with the microscope, red cells appear to be yellow-green disks with pale centres containing no visible internal structures. When blood is centrifuged to cause the cells to settle, the volume of packed red cells ( hematocrit value) ranges between 42 and 54 percent of total volume in men and between 37 and 47 percent in women; values are somewhat lower in children. Normal red blood cells are fairly uniform in volume, so that the hematocrit value is determined largely by the number of red cells per unit of blood. The normal red cell count ranges between four million and six million per cubic millimetre. The red blood cell is enclosed in a thin membrane that is composed of chemically complex lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates in a highly organized structure. Extraordinary distortion of the red cell occurs in its passage through minute blood vessels, many of which have a diameter less than that of the red cell. When the deforming stress is removed, the cell springs back to its original shape. The red cell readily tolerates bending and folding, but, if appreciable stretching of the membrane occurs, the cell is damaged or destroyed."

D. A. M. Background Sickle cell disease (also called sickle cell anemia) is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. The sickle cell gene causes the body to produce abnormal hemoglobin. In sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin clumps together, which causes red blood cells to become stiff and develop a C-shaped (“sickle”) form. These sickled red blood cells can block blood vessels, reducing blood flow in many parts of the body. This process results in tissue and organ damage. Hemoglobin and Iron Each red blood cell contains about 280 million hemoglobin molecules. Hemoglobin is the most important component of red blood cells. It is composed of protein (globulin) and a molecule (heme), which binds to iron. In the lungs, the heme component takes up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The red blood cells carry the oxygen to the body's tissues, where the hemoglobin releases the oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide, and the cycle repeats."

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. The normal adult hemoglobin (abbreviated Hgb or Hb) molecule contains two alpha-globulin chains and two beta-globulin chains. In fetuses and infants, beta chains are not common and the hemoglobin molecule is made up of two alpha chains and two gamma chains. As the infant grows, the gamma chains are gradually replaced by beta chains, forming the adult hemoglobin structure. Each globulin chain contains an important iron-containing porphyrin compound termed heme. Embedded within the heme compound is an iron atom that is vital in transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in our blood. The iron contained in hemoglobin is also responsible for the red color of blood. Hemoglobin also plays an important role in maintaining the shape of the red blood cells."

To get started, we need a brief overview of blood circulation, which is initiated by the pumping action of the heart. Blood exits the heart via arteries, which branch repeatedly until they become tiny capillaries. By diffusing across the capillary walls, oxygen and nutrients leave the blood and enter body tissues, and carbon dioxide and wastes move from the tissues to the bloodstream. As oxygen-deficient blood leaves the capillary beds, it flows into veins, which return it to the heart. The returning blood then flows from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and then returns to the heart to be pumped throughout the body once again. Components of blood- formed elements and plasma Blood is the only fluid tissue in the body.

This is the cell membrane. Although the major component of the membrane, and that which gives it many of its properties, is a double layer of phospholipid molecules, the lipid bilayer, almost all the highly specific functions and properties of membranes are the result of actions and properties of proteins. The quantity of protein in the average cell membrane varies considerably. Highly specialized membranes, such as those found surrounding a mitochondrion, are more than 70% protein, whereas a human nerve cell in the arm or brain, has only slightly more than 20% protein in its structure. Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic The interior and the exterior of cells is liquid, usually a solution or suspension of ions, small molecules and large molecules dissolved in water. Proteins must therefore be hydrophilic (\"\"water loving\"\") in order to be suspended in this environment. The bilayer of molecules that surround cells, however, is mostly made up of phospholipids arranged in such a way that their hydrocarbon \"\"tails\"\" are all pointing into the center of the structure. Hydrocarbon molecules are strongly hydrophobic (\"\"water fearing\"\"), and it is this strongly hydrophobic layer of material that gives the cell membrane its \"\"water proof\"\" nature and allows it to act as a container for the cell and its contents.

"text": "4. Transport of Blood Gases and Metabolism of Hemoglobin Content:1. Hemoglobin2. Synthesis and degradation of heme and hemoglobin3. Blood gases_Hemoglobin Hemoglobin (Hb), the pigment that gives blood its red colour, provides the transport of blood gases. It carries oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body and a portion of carbondioxide in the opposite direction. Hb transports 98 % of the total oxygen present in the blood and 23 % of CO 2. Hemoglobin also forms an important blood buffer system, which removes the excess of H + (particularly in peripheral tissues) by binding them to the His- residues of its molecule. The blood concentration of hemoglobin differs between sexes: in women 120-162 g/l and in men 135 – 172 g/l. Historical correlation: The molecule of hemoglobin was discovered already in year 1840, but it was not until around 1870 that an important French physiologist Claude Bernard revealed its function."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Diffusion and Passive Transport Share Flipboard Email Printciteby Regina Bailey Updated October 23, 2017Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread into an available space. This tendency is a result of the intrinsic thermal energy (heat) found in all molecules at temperatures above absolute zero. Without other outside forces at work, substances will move/diffuse from a more concentrated environment to a less concentrated environment. No work is performed for this to happen, as diffusion is a spontaneous process. Diffusion and Passive Transport Illustration of passive diffusion. Steven Berg Passive transport is the diffusion of substances across a membrane. As stated above, this is a spontaneous process and cellular energy is not expended. Molecules will move from where the substance is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated. As illustrated in the image above: \"\"This cartoon illustrates passive diffusion.

Answer by Andrew Mayfield Confidence votes 366Red blood cells carry oxygen by binding oxygen molecules to hemoglobin (an iron-based molecule). White blood cells fight infections and other germs, and platelets clot cuts. You need to intake a certain amount of iron to form the hemoglobin that holds oxygen on your red blood cells. If you don't, you can become \"\"anemic\"\" and you will get tired more quickly. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen in the body.

"text": "\"What is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. The normal adult hemoglobin (abbreviated Hgb or Hb) molecule contains two alpha-globulin chains and two beta-globulin chains. In fetuses and infants, beta chains are not common and the hemoglobin molecule is made up of two alpha chains and two gamma chains. As the infant grows, the gamma chains are gradually replaced by beta chains, forming the adult hemoglobin structure. Each globulin chain contains an important iron-containing porphyrin compound termed heme. Embedded within the heme compound is an iron atom that is vital in transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in our blood. The iron contained in hemoglobin is also responsible for the red color of blood. Hemoglobin also plays an important role in maintaining the shape of the red blood cells."

Frank Siteman/The Image Bank/Getty Images About Red Footed Tortoises Geochelone carbonaria is the Latin name but these tortoises are also known as red foot (or redfoot) tortoises, red leg (or redleg tortoises), Savanna tortoises, and red-footed tortoises. There is also a slightly smaller variety called the cherry head (or cherry headed) red footed tortoise that is very popular. Red-footed tortoises typically live up to 50 years in captivity but they could possibly live even longer. Like other tortoises, they are definitely a long-term commitment pet. They often reach a length of 10-14 inches but sometimes they can be larger (16 inches or more) and can weigh up to 30 pounds. The smaller cherry head red footed tortoise only attains a length of 10-12 inches as an adult. Feeding Red Footed Tortoises In the wild, red footed tortoises are omnivores and eat a wider range of foods than many other tortoises do. It is very important to not overfeed these tortoises with animal protein though. One very small serving of moistened low fat cat food or lean meat (e.g. one ounce for a full grown red footed tortoise) every other week is plenty of animal protein if you feel the need to offer it to your tortoise."

"text": "Diffen › Science › Biology › Zoology › Animals Tortoises and turtles are both reptiles from the order of Testudines, but in different classification families. The major difference between the two is that tortoises dwell on land, while turtles live in the water some or nearly all of the time. The bodies of tortoises and turtles are both shielded by a shell, the upper part of which is called carapace, with the lower portion called a plastron. The carapace and the plastron are attached by a bridge, which means that though the head and limbs of a turtle or tortoise may be withdrawn from the shell, the whole body can never be totally detached from it. These reptiles are generally reclusive and shy in nature. Comparison chart Differences —Similarities —Tortoise versus Turtle comparison chart Tortoise Turtle Definition A Tortoise is a reptile from the Chelonian family and dwells well on land.

It's not easy to picture a giant panda without his dietary staple -- bamboo. These woody grasses are by far the bulk of what a giant panda consumes within the span of a day. About Giant Pandas Free-roaming giant pandas live exclusively in the southern central region of China. These sizable omnivores have endangered status, according to 2008's International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species report. Habitat destruction and limitation due to logging and agricultural activities are both big risks to giant pandas, population wise. As far as natural habitat goes, giant pandas generally live in montane forest environments. They do particularly well in especially wet settings. Pounds of Bamboo The diet of giant pandas is all about bamboo, bamboo and more bamboo. These solitary mammals generally eat somewhere between 20 and 40 pounds of it each day, according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park."

"text": "Nutrition of Turtles and Tortoises Turtles, tortoises and terrapins are all in the group known as chelonians. They all possess a shell. The term tortoise is usually used to refer to terrestrial turtles in the United States, but we do have a few that stay predominately on the land, but are referred to as turtles, for example, the box turtle and the North American wood turtle. As they are such a diverse group of animals, it would be expected that the different species would have widely diverse diets. Green sea turtles are largely vegetarian and consume primarily see grasses, and the other sea turtles are mainly carnivorous, feeding on jellyfish, crabs, sea urchins, fish, sponges and barnacles. Some land tortoises are vegetarian, and spend their days grazing and foraging. Box turtles eat a little bit of everything encountered, and they are considered omnivores, meaning that they consume lots of bugs and worms, as well as plant material. Water turtles begin life as meat eaters and as they mature, they begin to consume more and more plant material. Correctly feeding your pet turtle or tortoise begins with knowing exactly what kind of chelonian you actually have. If you are unsure as to what kind of turtle or tortoise you actually own, check in an atlas, or ask a knowledgeable herper or breeder to help you in the proper identification."

The Common Snapping Turtle tends to live at higher latitudes than the Alligator. Snapping turtles enjoy a wide variety of food and are often considered the top predator in their environment. The alligator snapping turtle's diet consists mainly of fish, which they lure using a pink worm-like appendage on the end of their tongue. Common snapping turtles are more active hunters and will eat just about anything. Snapping turtles do not make good pets, usually, as they will never stop growing. The largest snapping turtles on record have weight records of around 600 lbs. Alligator snapping turtles have been known to grow even larger.

Best of all, they’re relatively low-maintenance—just as long as you make sure to give them the right foods and keep their habitats clean. What a turtle can eat depends on its species, and knowing what to feed your turtle to give it a proper nutritional diet is important. Here is your comprehensive guide to feeding your pet turtle so that it stays healthy, happy, and strong for many years to come. What Do Pet Turtles Eat? What you feed your pet turtle will largely depend on what kind of turtle you have. If it’s omnivorous, your pet turtle will eat commercial food pellets, feeder fish and insects, and fruits and vegetables. If it’s herbivorous, your pet turtle can eat only fruits and vegetables. You likely have a red-eared slider, which is the most common pet turtle in the U. S. “These animals are omnivorous, meaning they eat both animals and plants,” says Simon Starkey, BVSc, Ph D, D.

"text": "Tortoise diet Tortoise food There is immense confusion and misinformation about what to feed tortoises. I have seen many websites and pet stores disseminating completely wrong advice and I have some pretty shocking deformities in tortoises resulting from bad nutrition. This need not be the case, as the basics of tortoise nutrition can be understood in ten minutes. This article will give you those basics. Of course, there is much to learn beyond the basics. You could spend years studying the biochemical and micronutrient requirements of a tortoise and it is impossible to give guidelines that are correct for every species of tortoise at all times. Expert keepers adjust diet based on species, age, sex, activity levels and time of year. All I can give here are some general guidelines. Having said that, if you follow these guidelines, you will still be doing better than 90% of the tortoise keepers out there!The first thing you need to know is that there are herbivorous tortoises and omnivorous ones. The herbivorous ones must only ever be fed plants."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Reptiles Turtles and Tortoises What's the difference between a turtle and tortoise? Flag What's the difference between a turtle and tortoise? Answer by Patil Swaraj Confidence votes 99Differences between turtles and tortoises include: Turtles primarily live in water (fresh water and oceans) and so have webbed front feet or flipper-like fins to make swimming easier. Tortoises live almost exclusively on land, so do not have flippers, but normal feet without webbing, often with sharp claws for digging. They only enter water to drink or wash themselves off, and can in fact drown in strong currents. They may be found in arid areas. Turtles tend to have flatter shells than tortoises, while tortoises have a more domed shell. Turtles can be omnivorous, eating both plants and insects; tortoises eat only plants and leaves and other vegetation, so they are herbivorous, especially preferring moisture-bearing vegtation. Turtles can migrate from one place to another, swimming mighty oceans; tortoises tend to stay in one area. Baby tortoises move from their nest to their mother's burrow very soon after hatching."

"text": "\"Pets Reptiles How often do you need to feed turtles? I am a flightattendant and gone everother day do you need to feed turttles everyday?1 following 72 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Turtles should be feed, at least once or twice a day. Turtles eat almost anything place in front of them, so be sure not to be feeding them several setting of high fat foods..... Turtles in the wild eat more then this a day, although there food, is proteins, and low fat foods. Very young turtles prefer food more frequently, once a day is okay but two smaller feeds is much better. If you have a healthy and well fed adult freshwater turtle you don't have to feed him for a few days if your are unable to do so. He will survive you going away for a week or so without any problems, but it's nicer for him if you leave him a live plant to nibble on. The suitable amount of food given with each feeding is determined by the size of your turtle. Look at the turtles head, and give him an amount of food as big as the head each day. If you give your freshwater turtle more than this, his growth rate will increase dramatically, and if you underfeed him he will not grow at all or grow very slow. You can usually not kill a freshwater turtle by overfeeding him in the way you can with a fish, since the turtle will use the extra energy to increase his size."

"text": "A young, growing turtle has a significantly different diet from that of their full-grown brethren. Their habitat and physical form do not extensively differ from hatchling to adult, but in general a baby turtle will eat much more protein than plant matter, whereas adult turtles are omnivorous, in many cases. Tortoises remain herbivores, but vitamin control is important as hatchlings. The diet of any given turtle from birth to adulthood will depend entirely on its species -- different turtles eat different things. Box Turtles The most common land turtle in the pet trade is the box turtle. Named for their hinged shell, which they can close around their head, legs and tail, sealing themselves up like a box, box turtles as adults are omnivorous -- they eat plants and meat. As hatchlings, however, box turtles will prefer meat over greens. Baby box turtles in the wild feast on whatever insects are available to them, but in captivity, you can finely chop and feed: Mealworms Tubifex worms Chopped-up nightcrawlers and earthworms Small crickets Green lettuce Tomatoes Beans Melon, apricot or banana as a special treat Offer both meat and plant matter to your box turtle babies, once every other day. They likely will refuse all plant matter for the first 8 to 10 weeks, but they instinctively know what vitamins and minerals they need and will adjust their diet when their internal clock tells them to. Allow feeding for an hour and remove uneaten morsels to keep the area clean."

All but one of these species belong to the family Chelidae, which is found only in Australasia and South America. These ‘side-necked’ turtles retract their head and neck beneath their shell by folding it to one side, rather than drawing their head backwards as most of the world’s species of turtles and tortoises do. Australia also has six species of marine turtles but lacks the truly land-based tortoises that occur on all other continents except Antarctica. Freshwater turtles in New South Wales NSW is home to seven species of native freshwater turtle, two of which are found nowhere else. North American species of freshwater turtles have also been found in the Sydney region, probably as a result of people releasing imported pets into local waterways. Long-necked turtle species Eastern long-necked turtle (Chelodina longicollis)This is the most widespread species, occurring in water bodies throughout NSW with the exception of the highest parts of the Alps. It is easily distinguished by its wide plastron (the under part of the shell), made up of pale yellow shields with black margins. It is often seen crossing roads, where unfortunately it is frequently killed by motor vehicles. When handled it exudes a smelly secretion that helps to repel predators."

"text": "By Andrew Daniels Turtles may not be as cuddly as cats and dogs, but they make fantastic pets for other reasons: They’re fun to care for, mesmerizing to observe, and they’ve been around since prehistoric times! Best of all, they’re relatively low-maintenance—just as long as you make sure to give them the right foods and keep their habitats clean. What a turtle can eat depends on its species, and knowing what to feed your turtle to give it a proper nutritional diet is important. Here is your comprehensive guide to feeding your pet turtle so that it stays healthy, happy, and strong for many years to come. What Do Pet Turtles Eat? What you feed your pet turtle will largely depend on what kind of turtle you have. You likely have a red-eared slider, which is the most common pet turtle in the U. S. “These animals are omnivorous, meaning they eat both animals and plants,” says Simon Starkey, BVSc, Ph D, D. ABVP (Avian), Education Veterinarian and Technical Services Manager for Pet Smart. Like red-eared sliders, most water or aquatic turtles eat an omnivorous diet. Follow the guidelines below and your turtle will be in great shape.- Commercial pelleted food: It’s best to buy food made just for turtles, as this food will float and typically not fall apart as easily as pelleted food designed for other reptiles, Dr. Starkey says. Pellets should make up 25 percent of your turtle’s diet.- Feeder fish and/or insects: Feeders like comet goldfish provide a great source of protein, as do correctly balanced minerals like calcium and phosphorous, and good levels of certain vitamins, like vitamin A. “As with pellets, these should make up 25 percent of a turtle’s diet,” says Dr. Starkey.- Fruits and vegetables: Fill up the remainder of your turtle’s daily diet with fresh produce."

"text": "\" (work in progress, will be complete soon)Determining the Sex of Your Tortoise Because of the differences in the ways that different species can be sexed, we wanted to put together a page showing many different species, and the things to look for when sexing a particular species. We often hear \"\"males have a concave stomach\"\" or things like \"\"males have longer tails,\"\" both of which are generally true, but do not apply in some species. Here are species-specific photos and things to look for that will hopefully help you determine what sex you have.-----Elongated Tortoises Sexing elongated tortoises is most quickly done by comparing the tail length of animals to each other. Like most tortoises, adult males will have much longer tails. The males of this species do not have a huge amount of concave to their bellies, but they do have some. The females in this species will have a slight \"\"U\"\" shape in the shell notch around their tail, where the males will have more of a \"\"V\"\" shape, with the shell curving outward to the sides (lower two photos illustrate this). Generally in younger animals, I rely more on tail length, since the concave stomach and final notch shapes don't show up until much later in life. Within our group, our biggest animals are the males. Our females tend to be lighter in overall color, where our \"\"blackest\"\" ones are all males. Our males also tend to be higher domed than our females, on average."

"text": "The previous motor system chapters have deconstructed the motor system into its component parts, in an effort to portray how the brain’s “divide and conquer” strategy assigns different motor control tasks to different brain regions. This chapter describes the types of disorders that result from damage or disease to different parts of the motor system. In the process, the different components of the motor system are reviewed to see how they work together to produce the fluid, effortless body movements that we take for granted. An emphasis is placed on trying to explain the causes and symptoms of motor system disorders in terms of the basic principles of neuroanatomy and neuronal function that you learned in the earlier chapters.6.1 Lower Motor Neuron Syndrome The first level of the motor system hierarchy is the spinal cord, the location of the alpha motor neurons that constitute the “final common pathway” of all motor commands. Alpha motor neurons directly innervate skeletal muscle, causing the contractions that produce all movements. Reflex circuits and other circuitry within the spinal cord underlie the automatic processing of many of the direct commands to the muscles (the “nuts and bolts” processing), thereby freeing higher-order areas to concentrate on more global, task-related processing. Motor system dysfunction can result from damage or disease at any level of the motor system hierarchy and side-loops. Differences in the symptoms that result from damage at different levels allow the clinician to localize where in the hierarchy the damage is likely to be. Damage to alpha motor neurons results in a characteristic set of symptoms called the lower motor neuron syndrome (lower motor neurons refer to alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain stem; all motor system neurons higher in the hierarchy are referred to as upper motor neurons). This damage usually arises from certain diseases that selectively affect alpha motor neurons (such as polio) or from localized lesions near the spinal cord."

Normally, messages from nerve cells in the brain, called upper motor neurons, are transmitted to nerve cells in the brainstem and spinal cord called lower motor neurons and from there to particular muscles. Upper motor neurons direct lower motor neurons to produce movements such as walking or chewing. Lower motor neurons control movement in the arms, legs, chest, face, throat and tongue. When upper motor neurons are affected the manifestations include spasticity or stiffness of limb muscles and overactivity of tendon reflexes such as knee and ankle jerks. When lower motor neurons are affected the results include gradual weakening and wasting away of the muscles and fasciculations (rapid twitching of muscles). Motor neuron disease is more common in men than in women. A number of MNDs can be diagnosed:a.

It is also colloquially referred to as an unusual \"\"tightness\"\", stiffness, or \"\"pull\"\" of muscles. Clinically, spasticity results from the loss of inhibition of motor neurons, causing excessive velocity-dependent muscle contraction. This ultimately leads to hyperreflexia, an exaggerated deep tendon reflex. Spasticity is often treated with the drug baclofen, which acts as an agonist at GABA receptors, which are inhibitory. Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common form of cerebral palsy, which is group of permanent movement problems that do not get worse over time.

"text": "The Effects Of ALS – Lou Gehrig’s Disease October 20, 2010 by Health Admin Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is called Lou Gehrig’s disease because the famous baseball player developed and died of this serious and progressive neurological disease. ALS is yet another disease of the nervous system for which no cause has yet been discovered. A small percentage, about 5 to 10 percent of the cases, are familial, and the causative gene has been pinpointed in some of these cases to a particular chromosome. However, most cases of ALS are sporadic, meaning they occur in people randomly with no family history of the condition. There are some Pacific islands, Guam and Papua New Guinea, where the inhabitants have a much greater chance of developing ALS than in most of the world, but whether this is because of an inherited factor or some other local factor is not known. ALS affects only motor neurons the nerve cells that originate in the brain or the spinal cord and run to muscle cells to stimulate them to contract. Brain cells that are involved in thought, vision, hearing and other brain functions are not affected. Therefore consciousness, and the ability to see, hear and think clearly are maintained throughout the course of ALS. Steven Hawking, one of the great theoretical physicists of our time has been afflicted with a slowly progressive variant of ALS for many years and continues to do theoretical physics. The nerve cells that transmit sensations from our body into our brain are also not affected by ALS, and therefore someone with the disease does not have numbness, or abnormal sensations that people frequently have with multiple sclerosis, a more common neurological condition."

The motor system can be divided into (1) the peripheral apparatus, which consists of the anterior horn cell and its peripheral axon, the neuromuscular junction, and muscle, and (2) the more complex central apparatus, which includes the descending tracts involved in control (i.e., the pyramidal system) and the systems involved in initiating and regulating movement (the basal ganglia and cerebellum). Dysfunction in individual components of the motor system results in fairly specific abnormalities that can be evaluated at the bedside. Although multiple components may be involved (particularly with diseases of the central nervous system) isolated involvement of the various components commonly occurs. We will consider these components in order to help you establish an orderly approach to motor system evaluation (Table 10-1 ). Examination for motor dysfunction includes assessment of strength, muscle tone, muscle bulk, coordination, abnormal movements and various reflexes. Many of these are best detected through simple (but careful) observation. However, a few maneuvers aid in the detection of abnormality. Table 10-2 lists the components of a comprehensive and efficient screening examination that will elicit and localize most motor system dysfunctions. If no abnormalities are found, this exam should only take two to three minutes in a cooperative patient."

In this regulation , impulses are conducted from the CNS by an axon that synapses with a second autonomic neuron . It is the axon of this second neuron in the pathways that innervates the involuntary effectors . Autonomic motor nerves innervate organs whose functions are not usually under voluntary control . The effectors that respond to autonomic regulation include cardiac muscle ( the heart ) , smooth ( visceral ) muscles , and glands . These are part of the organs of the viscera ( organs within the body cavities ) and of blood vessels . The involuntary effects of autonomic innervation contrast with the voluntary control of skeletal muscles by way of somatic motor neurons . Autonomic Neurons Neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which conduct impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are known as motor , or efferent , neurons . There are two major categories of motor neurons: somatic and autonomic . Somatic motor neurons have their cell bodies within the CNS and send axons to skeletal muscles , which are usually under voluntary control ."

Not to be confused with muscular hypertrophy. Hypertonia Specialty Neurology Hypertonia is a term sometimes used synonymously with spasticity and rigidity in the literature surrounding damage to the central nervous system, namely upper motor neuron lesions. [ 1] Impaired ability of damaged motor neurons to regulate descending pathways gives rise to disordered spinal reflexes, increased excitability of muscle spindles, and decreased synaptic inhibition. [ 2] These consequences result in abnormally increased muscle tone of symptomatic muscles. [ 3] Some authors suggest that the current definition for spasticity, the velocity-dependent over-activity of the stretch reflex, is not sufficient as it fails to take into account patients exhibiting increased muscle tone in the absence of stretch reflex over-activity. They instead suggest that \"\" reversible hypertonia \"\" is more appropriate and represents a treatable condition that is responsive to various therapy modalities like drug and/or physical therapy. [ 4]Symptoms associated with central nervous systems disorders are classified into positive and negative categories. Positive symptoms include those that increase muscle activity through hyper-excitability of the stretch reflex (i.e., rigidity and spasticity) where negative symptoms include those of insufficient muscle activity (i.e. weakness) and reduced motor function.

Neurological Disorder A neurological disorder is defined as any disorder of the body nervous system. Structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves can result in a range of symptoms. Examples of symptoms include paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain and altered levels of consciousness. The specific causes of neurological problems vary, but can include genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities or disorders, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems including malnutrition, and brain injury, spinal cord injury or nerve injury. There are many recognized neurological disorders, some relatively common, but many rare. They may be assessed by neurological examination, and studied and treated within the specialties of neurology and clinical neuropsychology. Mental disorders, on the other hand, are \"\"psychiatric illnesses\"\" or diseases which appear primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling or behavior, producing either distress or impairment of function.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Definition Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that breaks down tissues in the nervous system (a neurodegenerative disease) of unknown cause that affects the nerves responsible formovement. It is also known as motor neuron disease and Lou Gehrig's disease, after thebaseball player whose career it ended. Description ALS is a disease of the motor neurons, those nerve cells reaching from the brain to the spinalcord (upper motor neurons) and the spinal cord to the peripheral nerves (lower motor neurons)that control muscle movement. In ALS, for unknown reasons, these neurons die, leading to a progressive loss of the ability to move virtually any of the muscles in the body. ALS affects\"\"voluntary\"\" muscles, those controlled by conscious thought, such as the arm, leg, and trunkmuscles. ALS, in and of itself, does not affect sensation, thought processes, the heart muscle, or the \"\"smooth\"\" muscle of the digestive system, bladder, and other internal organs. Most peoplewith ALS retain function of their eye muscles as well. However, various forms of ALS may be associated with a loss of intellectual function ( dementia) or sensory symptoms. ALS progresses rapidly in most cases."

"text": "The main clinical presentation of patients with oral, pharyngeal, or esophageal motility disorders is dysphagia. Dysphagia caused by oral and pharyngeal disorders can be differentiated from dysphagia due to esophageal disorders, based on the patient's localization of the site of the difficulty to the mouth and throat, or chest, respectively. Although dysphagia due to esophageal lesions may sometimes be localized to the throat, dysphagia due to oral or pharyngeal causes does not localize to the chest. The most distinguishing feature of dysphagia due to pharyngeal causes is the misdirection of food into the nose or the lungs, resulting in the complaint of nasal regurgitation of food and choking and coughing during swallowing. The oral cavity, pharynx and upper esophagus are often involved together due to the underlying neuromuscular disorders. Painful swallowing or odynophagia occurs in certain inflammatory conditions of the oral, pharyngeal, or esophageal mucosa. Regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus suggests incompetence of the normal gastroesophageal antireflux barrier. Heartburn is a typical symptom of esophageal mucosal inflammation due to gastric acid-peptic reflux. Top Motor Disorders of the Oral Cavity, Pharynx, and Cervical Esophagus Muscles of the oral cavity, pharynx, and cervical esophagus are of the striated variety. These disorders may manifest as oral stasis of food, inability to initiate a swallow, premature spillage of food into the pharynx, pharyngeal stasis, nasal regurgitation, or laryngeal aspiration."

Smith and Hodges define ethics as a “human reflecting self-consciously on the act of being a moral being. This implies a process of self-reflection and awareness of how to behave as a moral being. Some definitions are dictated by law, individual belief systems, religion or a mixture of all three. NAADAC recognizes that its members and certified counselors live and work in many diverse communities.

Further, NAADAC recognizes and encourages the notion that personal and professional ethics cannot be dealt with as separate domains. NAADAC members, addiction professionals and/or licensed/certified treatment providers (subsequently referred to as addiction professionals) recognize that the ability to do well is based on an underlying concern for the well-being of others. This concern emerges from recognition that we are all stakeholders in each other's lives - the well-being of each is intimately bound to the well-being of all; that when the happiness of some is purchased by the unhappiness of others, the stage is set for the misery of all.

"text": "Professional Counseling Certifications Why to consider certification Many counselors opt for certification through third party (nongovernmental) agencies. All states use third party examinations as part of the licensing process for professional counseling; some do so for school counseling as well. However, licensure is not necessarily tied to going through the full certification process or maintaining certification. Often, it is a personal choice to do so. There can be advantages to taking the extra steps. The National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential can be a badge of accomplishment. Specialty certifications can also demonstrate expertise in counseling disciplines that are often not given separate recognition by state licensing boards. Here’s a look at the options.

Persons who earn the designation of Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) must meet acceptable standards of quality in their practice and have the requisite educational and professional background. To become certified, rehabilitation counselors must achieve a passing score on the CRC examination. How is the certification examination developed? CRCC ensures that its certification examination remains valid and relevant with current practices in the field through an in-depth Job Analysis Study. This scientifically conducted research is undertaken every five years to determine the roles, functions, knowledge, and skills of rehabilitation counselors. Additionally, new examination items are continuously created and added to the certification examination. Certification examination items are periodically reviewed and updated to ensure currency of the exam. Why should universities use the CRC certification examination as their comprehensive examination in rehabilitation counseling?"

"text": "The Removal of the Multiaxial System in the DSM-5: Implications and Practice Suggestions for Counselors Victoria E. Kress Casey A. Barrio Minton Nicole A. Adamson Matthew J. Paylo Verl Pope With the advent of the DSM-5 in 2013, the American Psychiatric Association eliminated the longstanding multiaxial system for mental disorders. The removal of the multiaxial system has implications for counselors’ diagnostic practices. In this article, the removal of the multiaxial system in the DSM-5 is discussed, and counselor practice suggestions related to each of the five Axes are provided. Additionally, ways in which counselors can sustain their current diagnostic skills while developing updated practices that align with the new streamlined system will be discussed. Keywords: DSM-5, multiaxial system, diagnostic skills, mental disorders The American Psychiatric Association (APA) developed the original Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM) in 1952 to create a uniform way to define mental health disorders. At the time, the manual contained narrative, psychodynamic descriptions regarding psychiatric disorders. Fueled by criticism regarding questionable foundations and lack of discrete diagnostic criteria, APA engaged in a comprehensive overhaul of the diagnostic system in preparation for the third edition of the manual (First, 2010). In 1980, the APA released the radically different DSM-III, a categorical nosological system with presumably atheoretical foundations and a multiaxial assessment system that ensured attention to biological, psychological and social elements related to mental disorders. Although paradigm shifts were not as comprehensive as some might have hoped (First, 2010; Kupfer & Reiger, 2011), the most recent revision process resulted in the DSM-5 (APA, 2013) and the first major structural changes to diagnostic classifications and procedures since the DSM-III (APA, 1980). Key DSM-5 changes included reorganization of disorders into new categories on the basis of presumed etiological characteristics, movement toward dimensional conceptualization of disorders and discontinuation of the multiaxial system (Dailey, Gill, Karl, & Barrio Minton, 2014)."

Diversion is the procedure of suspending the criminal prosecution of an individual, by allowing the offender to complete a drug education, drug treatment, or drug rehabilitation program instead of further criminal proceedings. Diversion has become a very popular method of alleviating congested court calendars, while at the same time allowing first-offenders to avoid the blemish of a drug conviction on their record. The DEJ program allows offenders to avoid a criminal record by completing drug education or a drug counseling program. If a first offense drug defendant has an otherwise clean criminal record, judges generally will find a defendant eligible for the deferred entry of judgement program without requiring a formal eligibility evaluation. Court Procedures for Deferred Entry of Judgment Program in California Under California Penal Code 1000 (PC 1000) the defendant must agree to have his or her case referred to the probation department to determine if they are eligible for the diversion program. If the probation department agrees that the offender is eligible, the judge will set a hearing after the referral to the probation department. At the DEJ hearing the judge will determine eligibility for the diversion program. If found eligible by the judge, program requirements will be described to the defendant, including the program length and the consequences of not enrolling or completing the program. In court, the defendant is advised that he or she must plead guilty to the charges, and pay a restitution fee of not less than $100 and not more that $1000."

"text": "(Back to Wedding Invitations Wording and Etiquette Guide)Chapter 5: Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Invitations Your wedding weekend has finally arrived and with it a slew of activities – the wedding rehearsal dinner, the bridesmaid brunch, the post-nuptial breakfast and other gatherings to celebrate your big day. Even though your wedding weekend activities are smaller and less formal than your actual wedding, there is a proper way to invite your friends and family to your wedding activities - and it doesn't involve a mass Facebook message. Wedding rehearsal invitations let your families, wedding party, ushers and important extras who have to be at the rehearsal know the time, date, and location of the event. Rehearsal dinner invitations can be handwritten or sent online. If you're having a low-key rehearsal at a bistro or pizza parlor, handwritten invites aren't necessary. If you plan on having a lot of out-of-town guests, send out formal rehearsal dinner invitations. What to Include in a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Invitation Think of your wedding rehearsal dinner invitations like a news story. Cover the five W's: the who, what, when, where and why of your rehearsal dinner. Details to include Reason for the invitation Host's name (s)Host's contact information The name of the venue The address of the venue Time and date Bride and groom's names Theme (country ho-down? Hawaiian Luau? )"

Here is a great reference guide for when to mail out your various wedding announcements: Save-the-Date-Cards We recommend mailing out save-the-dates three to twelve months prior to the wedding, depending on the type of wedding you're planning (local, multiday, holiday, destination). The cards should include only the basic important information: the name of the bride and groom, the date or dates of the event, and the location. You may also want to include hotel and airline information to assist traveling wedding guests. And don't forget to introduce your theme with the save-the-date cards; as the first formal wedding announcement your guests will receive, it should be consistent with everything you're planning for the invitations and the celebration. Bridal Shower Invitations We recommend mailing out shower invitations three to four weeks prior to the wedding shower . Rehearsal Dinner Invitations: Traditionally, the parents of the groom or the groom himself hosts the rehearsal dinner. Invitations for the rehearsal dinner should be sent out just after the wedding invitations have been placed in the mail, typically four to five weeks before the wedding. This way guests will have all the information they need on hand to make travel arrangements, including airline, rental car, and lodging reservations."

"text": "\"Part 1 Looking into the Dress Code1 Check the invitation for dress details. The bride and groom or the groom's parents will have sent you an invitation noting the details of the rehearsal dinner. In addition to the time and date of the event, some invitations note the style of dress the hosts wish for guests to wear. Here are some of the different styles of dress you may see listed on a rehearsal dinner invitation: Black tie. This style is more common for the actual wedding day, but you may see a request for black tie attire on a rehearsal dinner invitation. Men should wear a tuxedo to a black tie event, while women should wear a cocktail dress or long evening gown. Formal or black tie optional. A formal or black tie optional event indicates that the suggested attire is slightly less formal than a black tie event. Men may wear a tuxedo, but could also wear a dark suit and tie. Women may wear a cocktail dress, dressy suit or evening gown."

Shut up and show up? Not any longer, as mothers of the groom are taking a bigger role in weddings today than ever before. With so many details to address prior to a wedding, the groom’s mother may wonder what her duties are, particularly with regard to the wedding rehearsal dinner, as it is a common custom for the groom’s parents to host the dinner party after the rehearsal. Typically, the groom’s mother has no particular duties during the wedding ceremony. Her ‘time in the sun’ is the rehearsal dinner. The groom’s parents should set a budget, and work with the couple to determine a venue. The bride and groom should provide the rehearsal dinner guest list; but the mother should send out the invitations. The mother of the groom should work closely with the venue’s manager, to assure that any requests made by herself, or the wedding couple, are honored. For instance, the menu should be carefully planned as to not duplicate in any way the wedding supper."

Especially if you have an arsenal of favorite dresses that make the spring and summer wedding circuit, it can be tough to wrap your head around how those pieces translate to cooler temps. In addition to the cold weather dilemma, what about color? What about dress length and sleeve length? What about attire indications on invitations? With my first #30DRESSESin30DAYS series in March, I addressed the sartorial challenges presented by Spring and Summer weddings because I get so many questions about wedding guest attire and rehearsal dinner dresses for the bride. As part of the ongoing Fall/Winter edition of the 30 Dresses series, I’m excited to do the same this time around for cold weather weddings as well. For the most part, I get loads of questions in the following four core areas: (1) Wedding guest attire for invitations that indicate Cocktail Attire; (2) Wedding guest attire for invitations that indicate Black Tie Optional; (3) Wedding guest attire for invitations that indicate Black Tie or Formal Attire , and (4) Bridal attire for fall or winter rehearsal dinners.

"text": "Daniel Milligan Photography With so much focus on the parents of the bride during the planning process (especially if they’re paying for the celebration and serving as hosts), it can seem like the parents of the groom don’t have much to do as the big day approaches. But their child will be walking down the aisle, too, so there are a few responsibilities that fall squarely on their shoulders. So what goes on their to-do list? Is there such thing as wedding etiquette for the parents of the groom? Our experts are here to outline their roles. Host the Rehearsal Dinner Traditionally, the groom’s parents are the ones to plan and host (read: pay for) the rehearsal dinner, as well as any coinciding welcome party for the rest of the guests. They may opt to employ the couple’s wedding planner to help with the event, or can plan it on their own. The rehearsal dinner itself can be as formal or casual as the groom’s parents would like it to be, but should tie in with the wedding’s theme in some way. When it comes to invitations, they should come from the parents of the groom, signifying that they’re hosting the event. Help with the Guest List There are a lot of family members and friends to organize as the guest list comes together, and the groom’s parents should be a part of the process."

There are also a few important items you need to check off your to-list, so make sure you don’t forget them. Hand out gifts. The rehearsal is the perfect time to give your bridal party gifts for being a part of your day, as well as any presents for your parents, readers, officiant and such. Don’t try to hand all of these items out on the morning off--it will be too hectic and you don’t need to add another thing to your to-do list. Give the best man the rings. Hand over the wedding bands to the best man so he will already have them for the ceremony. You don’t want to risk forgetting them back at the house or the hotel room--and only realizing it once you’ve reached the venue. Include out of town guests. Etiquette says you should invite any out-of-town guests to the rehearsal dinner, assuming they will be in town the night before."

Family and friends have all arrived. Only one thing can keep you from having a major anxiety attack—a really fun party. Traditionally, the rehearsal dinner was given the night before the wedding by the parents of the groom. Everyone in both families, in the wedding party, and from out of town was invited. The dinner was a more formal affair, but like everything else wedding-related, couples are making these pre-nuptial parties their own—rehearsal dinner agendas are sometimes much more casual, more intimate, or serve as another raucous party!

It is typically the one wedding related activity that is truly your event to plan, so enjoy yourself as you plan and host a wonderful event celebrating the wedding of your son and his bride. The rehearsal dinner provides an opportunity for family members and special friends to come together to support the couple in a manner that is more personal and relaxed than the wedding itself is likely to be. Beginning to Plan There are a few basics to get straight right away: timing, location, and guests. Once you have these three items settled, everything else will start to fall into place. You will want to discuss everything with the bride and groom and coordinated your planning with their expectations and plans. However, it is up to you to lead the rehearsal dinner planning process. Timing Check with the bride and groom on their plans for the actual wedding rehearsal and discuss how the rehearsal dinner will fit into the things they have to take care of the day before the wedding. Typically, the idea is to have the rehearsal dinner the evening before the wedding. In some cases there may be a need or want to have the “dinner” at a different time, either some other time of the day or a dinner on a different day."

"text": "All about Timpani January 15, 2018 9:22 pm ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅ Musicians Our Principal Timpanist, Josh Hickman, has been wandering the halls lately with colorful bowls of sponges. Below, Josh explains some of the things you may have wondered about, such as the cost to purchase and maintain these instruments, as well as helping to understand how temperamental these drums can be. How many timpani are normally used? Most classical programs require 4 drums, but with current New Music programming, 5 timpani are becoming the norm. What is the cost of a full set of high quality timpani? The cost for a new set of drums varies and, depending on the upkeep of older instruments, the value doesn’t usually depreciate much from the “new” pricing, especially if the older instruments are still in high demand. The short answer would be $25-$35,000 for a high-quality set of used timpani, and $45-$60,000 for a brand new customized set of timpani. Some designs hold up well and require infrequent replacement parts or recalibrating critical machinery, but used drums may need expensive recalibration and alignment especially those sold on the lower end of the price range from $18-20,000, which can be as expensive as buying one new drum. What is the cost to replace a drum head? Synthetic drum heads average from $100-180 per drum head being replaced; this value changes slightly if the heads are not “universal” sizes (32, 29, 26, 23, & 20 inches for a set of five.)"

In fact, the most effective opening speeches share the needed information in a short and concise manner. Step 1Open the remarks by welcoming the guests to the event in a general manner. Introduce yourself to the crowd and state the name of the function you've gathered for. Thank everyone for attending the event, and personally thank by name any special guests or dignitaries who may be in the audience. Be open, relaxed and cheerful throughout the opening, as this will set the tone for the rest of your remarks, as well as the entire event to come.

Things have changed a lot in the past 10 years for Moms. It’s not always a given that you, the mother of the bride, will partner up with the bride, being a co-planner involved in every step of the details. Now, that role’s been filled by the groom. Even if you’re paying for all or part of the wedding. And if you’re the mother of the groom, it’s no longer the case that the only part of the planning you get to enjoy is putting together the rehearsal dinner. The moms and step-moms of the bride and groom are looking at an entirely new world of participating in wedding plans. In the Past: The mother of the bride called a lot of the shots, since she was seen as the official hostess of the wedding, given that most parents paid for the Big Day. Now: More brides and grooms are planning and paying for their own weddings, with both sets of parents contributing some part of the budget for the big day. Moms are invited into the plans, but for select tasks chosen by the wedding couple."

There are many people to coordinate besides the bride and groom, so it's the ideal way for everyone involved to practice and become comfortable with the order of events on the wedding ceremony program. Having a rehearsal is the best way to ensure everyone is on the same page, sharing your timeline as well as your vision for the big day. At the very least, you and your wedding party need to know where to stand when they walk in. Without a walk through at the actual ceremony location, things can easily go wrong or appear disorganized to your wedding guests. It is also a good way to eliminate pre-wedding jitters for you and your bridal party. Come to your rehearsal prepared and you'll have an easier time enjoying this once in a lifetime event. As well, if you have an after-rehearsal dinner, it will provide you with a more intimate opportunity to thank those closest to you for their help and involvement.1.8k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What is the purpose of having a rehearsal dinner?

Couples' investments in their weddings has reached a new height, with 73% paying for or contributing to the cost.

I say within the next couple weeks. If you are expecting them to reply to this function, I say you better get them out tonight as they need time to get them back to you. Good Luck and have fun!Anonymous · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Right now! Rehearsal dinner invitations should be mailed out 4 - 6 weeks in advance of the party. The invitation should also have a RSVP so you know how many people are attending and how many dinners to order (if you are having the dinner at a restaurant that requires a head count at least seven days in advance). Etiquette: the Bride and Groom really shouldn't HOST their own Rehearsal Dinner. If the Groom's parents cannot host the party then it should be hosted by a family friend or a close relative of the Bride or Groom."

The fabulous thing about these creatures is that they do not only run around pulling a sleigh with a fat guy in a red suit but they can also fly. This is also the secret why Santa is able to bring presents to all the kids in the world. Both kids and adults may wonder just how big a reindeer is. How Big is a Reindeer? Before getting to that, one important and related question will be is do reindeers exist? The happy answer to that question is that, yes, they do exist. However, the ones that have the ability to fly are with Santa. So, tough luck if you really wanted to have the flying variety."

This year, try a live lemming instead. Despite being largely herbivorous, stunned observers have watched the hoofed mammals hunt down unwary lemmings f or centuries. According to a 1905 article in the Spectator, the reindeer eat the rodents when they're migrating, \"\"killing them by stamping on them with their feet\"\": The probability is that reindeer eat the lemmings for the same reason that many Northern herbivorous creatures will eat flesh, as a kind of change and stimulant in diet, and that they look on the grass-fed lemming much as we might look on stuffed olives. Eggs, too, are liable to end up in a reindeer’s stomach: The animals have been spotted raiding the nests of Arctic waterfowl, accidentally trampling whatever contents they don’t eat. In this respect, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree—white-tailed deer will sometimes snarf down sparrow eggs (and even chicks) for a quick dose of calcium. Don’t believe us?

"text": "\"Wildlife & Habitat Mammals Birds Fish, Insects, etc. Wild Lands Frequently Asked Questions about Caribou This information is based on research listed in the partial bibliography of scientific research pertaining to the Refuge. Some specific references are noted within the text. Caribou Migration Caribou Biology Caribou Migration Why are some Porcupine Caribou herd calves born in Canada or the mountains? In spring the Porcupine caribou herd migrates hundreds of miles from winter ranges located south of the Brooks Range in Alaska, and from areas in Yukon Territory, to its traditional calving grounds on the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain and foothills. In years when there's deep snow on the winter range and along the migration routes, and when the spring snow melt is delayed by cold temperatures, caribou cows are delayed in reaching these preferred calving grounds. When this happens, the calves are born along the migration routes and on calving habitats in Canada. This happened in 1987, 2000 and 2001. Sometimes caribou are not delayed during the spring migration, but when they arrive at the edge of the foothills they find it is still covered by snow because cold temperatures have delayed snow-melt. In this case, the cow caribou give birth in snow free or partially snow free areas to the south, near or in the northern mountain valleys."

Caribou are large, wild, elk-like animals which can be found in northern North America and Greenland and have never been domesticated. Reindeer are slightly smaller and were domesticated in northern Eurasia about 2000 years ago. There are still some wild populations of reindeer found in Eurasia but they are best known as a domesticated animal. Today, they are still herded by many Arctic peoples in Europe and Asia who depend on the reindeer for almost everything in their economy including food, clothing and shelter.

The Reindeer Dog, as it is called by devotees, is like a breath from the past. A dog that reflects Lappish mythology: shamanism and troll-drums, exotic herbs and smoky light flickering through the branches of the mountain birches. This is what the Lapponian Herder is about. He also embodies hard work and severe conditions, unselfishness and devotion to his work and trusted ones. Carl von Linné (a Swedish botanist and zoologist in the 18th century), during his travels in Lapland, used to praise the Sami dogs to his students and encourage them to study these animals: “The Lapps know best how useful a good dog can be. Had they not any dogs, the reindeer could not easily be kept in a herd but they would scatter in all directions. These dogs are both useful and pleasant companions for the Lapps”. The Lapps, the Sami, have always understood the value of their dogs. They have regarded a good reindeer dog as a member of the family, and not without reason."

Contents [ hide ]1 Synopsis2 Releases3 Covers4 Parodies5 Popularity6 Television7 Music video8 Chart performance9 References10 External links Synopsis [ edit]In the lyrics, a grandmother is celebrating at a Christmas Eve party with her family when, while off her medication and drunk on spiked eggnog, she staggers outside into a snowstorm against the pleas of everyone in the room. She is found the next day, trampled; Santa Claus and his reindeer are determined to be the culprit when \"\"incriminating Claus marks\"\" are found on Grandma's back. The second and third verses describe the Christmas gathering where \"\"all the family's dressed in black\"\" and the family wonders if all the Christmas gifts they bought for her should be returned (the consensus is a firm yes). Christmas dinner otherwise goes on as normal, with a centerpiece of roast goose, figgy pudding for dessert, and \"\"blue and silver candles\"\" to match Grandma's hairpiece; the newly widowed Grandpa seems completely unfazed by his wife's demise and spends the holiday \"\" watching football, drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel\"\" (who, while not stated as such in the lyrics, is an attractive and much younger woman in the music video and animated film). The upshot is a warning to the listener to be aware, because \"\"a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves\"\" should have never received a driver's license. In the music video, in which Elmo plays both Grandma and Grandpa while Patsy plays Cousin Mel, Grandma survives the attack and makes a triumphant return through the chimney. Releases [ edit]According to Brooks, he played the song while sitting in with Elmo and Patsy at the Hyatt Lake Tahoe in December 1978, and after the show they had him make a cassette of the song for them to learn. A year later, they were selling 45s of the song from the stage, with Elmo himself appearing in drag on the album cover as \"\"Grandma\"\"."

( Photo: Paul Weaver)If you want your diet to be low in fat and high in B-12, omega-3, omega-6 and essential fatty acids, you might think your only choice is a trip to the fish market. But a recent study from the University of Tromsø shows that reindeer is one of the healthiest kinds of meat you can put on your plate. “Reindeer meat is very healthy,” says Ammar Eltayeb Ali Hassan, a Ph D candidate at the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences. “ It contains more than double the values of some nutrients than other meats, and comparable to chicken in fat. ”A careful analysis Over the past several years, Hassan has analysed meat, liver, tallow and bone marrow sampled from 131 reindeer from four Norwegian counties and 14 grazing areas. His findings should please those who are careful about what they eat. “The meat is high in the essential fatty acids that humans only get from the foods they eat. Although oily fish is an important source of essential fatty acids in the Norwegian diet, the levels of some of these substances in reindeer meat is comparable to those found in seafood such as cod, crab, mussels, oysters and scampi. Additionally, 100 grams of reindeer meat contains the daily recommended dose of omega-3 and 6,” says Hassan, who is also a veterinarian."

"text": "How do shareholders treat REIT dividends for tax purposes? For REITs, dividend distributions for tax purposes are allocated to ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital, each of which may be taxed at a different rate. All public companies, including REITs, are required early in the year to provide shareholders with information clarifying how the prior year's dividends should be allocated for tax purposes. A historical record of the allocation of REIT distributions between ordinary income, return of capital and capital gains can be found in the Industry Data section. Are REIT dividends subject to the maximum tax rate? The majority of REIT dividends are taxed as ordinary income up to the maximum rate of 39.6 percent, plus a separate 3.8 percent surtax on investment income. However, REIT dividends will qualify for a lower tax rate in the following instances: When the individual taxpayer is subject to a lower scheduled income tax rate;When a REIT makes a capital gains distribution (20 percent maximum tax rate, plus the 3.8 percent surtax) or a return of capital distribution;When a REIT distributes dividends received from a taxable REIT subsidiary or other corporation (20 percent maximum tax rate, plus the 3.8 percent surtax); and When permitted, a REIT pays corporate taxes and retains earnings (20 percent maximum tax rate, plus the 3.8 percent surtax). In addition, the maximum 20 percent capital gains rate (plus the 3.8 percent surtax) applies generally to the sale of REIT stock. This chart shows is the U.

"text": "A Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) is a unique investment that combines the tax benefits of a limited partnership (LP) with the liquidity of common stock. While an MLP has a partnership structure, it issues shares that trade on an exchange like common stock. Today’s MLPs are defined by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Revenue Act of 1987, which outline how companies can structure their operations to realize certain tax benefits and define which companies are eligible. To qualify, a firm must earn 90% of its income through activities or interest and dividend payments relating to natural resources, commodities or real estate. Here’s how owning MLPs can provide a variety of benefits: Tax Benefits Tax implications for MLPs differ significantly from corporations for both the company and its investors. Like other limited partnerships, there is no tax at the company level. This essentially lowers an MLP's cost of capital, as it does not suffer the problem of double taxation on dividends. Companies that are eligible to become MLPs have a strong incentive to do so because it provides a cost advantage over their incorporated peers. In an MLP, instead of paying a corporate income tax, the tax liability of the entity is passed on to its unitholders. Once a year, each investor receives a K-1 statement (similar to a 1099-DIV form) detailing his or her share of the partnership's net income, which is then taxed at the investor's individual tax rate."

"text": "\"A REIT, or a real estate investment trust, is a company that owns, operates or finances income-producing real estate. This is often done by pooling investors' money to buy and possibly manage commercial or residential buildings. The company then collects rent from its tenants and passes that income onto investors in the form of strong dividends. REITs are essentially just big landlords, says John La Forge, head of real asset strategy for Wells Fargo Investment Institute in Sarasota, Florida. \"\" They're a company that has professional money managers who understand real estate,\"\" buying and managing it for investors. As REIT shareholders, investors get exposure to real estate without the headaches of owning, operating or directly financing properties. Types of REITs. There are two broad categories of real estate investment trusts: equity REITs and mortgage REITs. Most REITs are equity REITs, which own or operate income-producing real estate, such as apartment buildings, offices or shopping centers. Equity REITs typically invest in a particular type of property."

Return of capital (ROC) refers to principal payments back to \"\"capital owners\"\" (shareholders, partners, unitholders) that exceed the growth (net income/taxable income) of a business or investment. It should not be confused with Rate of Return (ROR), which measures a gain or loss on an investment. Basically, it is a return of some or all of the initial investment, which reduces the basis on that investment. The ROC effectively shrinks the firm's equity in the same way that all distributions do. It is a transfer of value from the company to the owner. In an efficient market, the stock's price will fall by an amount equal to the distribution."

Typically, money paid out by an S corporation is known as a distribution, and it is not taxable. C corporations pay out dividends, which are taxable to shareholders. A corporation is the only business structure responsible for paying its own taxes on profits. For a C corporation, dividends are taxed twice --- to both the corporation and the shareholders. Dividends Dividends received from a corporation are allocations of stock, money or other assets paid to you when you own stock in that corporation. Dividends can also be received from mutual fund investments, an estate, a trust or partnership, or a real estate investment trust (REIT). The majority of dividends get paid in cash, but you may also receive distribution of dividends in the form of additional stock shares, stock options, property or services. Reporting Dividends Generally, when you have received a dividend, the distributing company will issue you an IRS Form 1099-DIV for all distributions of $10 or more.

"text": "How to Get Appreciated Real Estate Out of C Corporations April 3, 2013 By Jer Fortenberry For most small businesses, ownership of real estate by a C corporation is a bad idea. Unlike S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs taxed as partnerships, C corporations are taxed twice on all income: once when it is earned and once when it is distributed to shareholders. Double taxation is a common problem when real estate is owned by a C corporation. When appreciated real estate is sold, the corporation will pay Federal tax at the corporate tax rates (which range from 15 percent to 39 percent). Under the rules governing distributions from C corporations, the same income is taxed again at the shareholder level when it is distributed to the shareholders. S corporations and limited liability companies can provide the liability protection of a corporation without the double taxation. If the business will own real estate, these “passthrough entities” are usually a better choice than a C corporation. But a few decades ago, limited liability companies were not widely accepted and S corporations were subject to more restrictions than they are now. Corporations were often used to hold real estate, creating a legacy of tax inefficiency. When it comes to getting appreciated real estate out of a C corporation, there are no quick and easy solutions."

Mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, closed-end mutual funds, real estate, various alternative investments and owning all or part of a business are just a few examples. Stocks Buying shares of stock gives the buyer the opportunity to participate in the company’s success via increases in the stock’s price and dividends that the company might declare. Shareholders have a claim on the company’s assets in the event of liquidation, but do not own the assets. Holders of common stock have voting rights at shareholders’ meetings and the right to receive dividends if they are declared. Holders of preferred stock don’t have voting rights, but do receive preference in terms of the payment of any dividends over common shareholders. They also have a higher claim on company assets than holders of common stock. Bonds Bonds are debt instruments whereby an investor effectively is loaning money to a company or agency (the issuer) in exchange for periodic interest payments plus the return of the bond’s face amount when the bond matures. Bonds are issued by corporations, the federal government plus many states, municipalities and governmental agencies. A typical corporate bond might have a face value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually."

SBA Communications is the cheapest Tower REIT with the most upside and is about to lap issues it had with the loss of Sprint revenues in 2016.

SBA is one of three public Tower REITs that operate mainly in the United States. American Tower (NYSE: AMT) and Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI) are the other two which are both structured as REITs. SBA was originally structured as a corporation and is currently converting to a REIT structure like its two peers. The company recently completed an internal merger to allow it to file for REIT status. The CEO discussed the REIT conversation status on the recent earnings call, in which he called the final step of filling the 2016 tax return \"\"a formality,\"\" and that it has been \"\"functionally operating as a REIT since prior to 2016. \"\" The company has a tremendous amount of NOLs estimated at $1.1B per its latest 10-K.

"text": "Investing for Beginners Real Estate Investing Real Estate Investing Through REITs The Benefits of Property Ownership without the Hassle Share Flip Pin Email•••By Joshua Kennon Updated October 27, 2016Prior to the onset of the industrial revolution, wealth and power were measured primarily in terms of the amount of land owned by an individual or family. Although the twentieth century saw the rise of securitization and the resulting increase in stock and bond ownership, real estate investing can still prove a profitable option for those who are actively engaged in an asset allocation program or just looking to diversify their current portfolio. Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, can be a convenient way for the average investor to profit without the hassle of direct property acquisition. That is why we included this comprehensive essay in our Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing. Prior to 1960, only wealthy individuals and corporations had the financial resources necessary to invest in significant real estate projects such as shopping malls, corporate parks, and health care facilities. In response, Congress passed the Real Estate Investment Trust Act of 1960. The legislation exempted these special-purpose companies from corporate income tax if certain criterion were met. It was hoped that the financial incentive would cause investors to pool their resources together to form companies with significant real estate assets, providing the same opportunities to the average American as were available to the elite. Three years later, the first REIT was formed. The original legislation had some significant drawbacks, however, in that it required the executives in charge of the business to hire third parties to provide management and property leasing services."

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."

Cara Griffith , Contributor Two measures (SB 118 and HB 82) proposed in Hawaii in January would have eliminated the dividends paid deduction (DPD) for real estate investment trusts. The measures have been deferred pending further study. Supporters of the bills contend that dividends paid by REITs should be taxed before distribution, but opponents claim doing so would have a chilling effect on the use of REITs in Hawaii. A REIT is a company that uses the pooled capital of many investors to purchase and operate income-producing property or to finance real estate. REITs can either be private or offered as a publicly traded security. Individual investors purchase a unit of the investment trust. Each unit represents a proportionate fraction of ownership in each of the underlying properties in the REIT. REITs are popular for small investors because REITs allow them to invest in real estate without needing to have the necessary capital for direct ownership of those same properties."

Empire State Realty Trust Inc. will be one of the biggest initial public offerings of a U. S. real estate investment trust. The REIT shares will be priced at $13 to $15 each, according to a regulatory filing, and trade on Oct. 1 on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ESRT. The decision to IPO the building ended a dispute between two groups of owners of the iconic 102-story tower. One group wanted to keep the building's ownership just as it had been since 1961, when the Empire State Building was purchased by a syndicate of some 2,800 owners created by Malkin Properties. The other group wanted to roll up the Empire State landmark with 18 other New York area properties into a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and sell shares of it to the public. So, will these public shares be any different from those of any other REIT? No, said Lawrence Longua, a professor at New York University's Schack Institute of Real Estate. \"\" It's a plain vanilla REIT,\"\" he said, \"\"with a big, famous building attached. \"\" Buyers, as with any REIT, won't be able to claim depreciation, as they would if they'd bought the real estate itself."

The new brackets are listed at the bottom of this article. Trusts, like estates, are a taxable entity. A trust is a fiduciary entity whose objective is to hold and invest money or property held in the trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Trust property consists of principal (aka corpus ), which is the property transferred to the trust by the grantor, and income earned by the trust, usually from investments. If the trust retains income beyond the end of the calendar year, then it must pay taxes on it. If money is distributed to the beneficiaries, then whether it is taxable or not to the beneficiaries will depend on whether principal or income was distributed, and if it was income, then whether it was tax-free income or retained income from previous years that the trust has already paid tax on. Because trusts are not subject to double taxation, either principal or income on which the trust paid taxes can be distributed tax-free to the beneficiaries. Likewise, any taxable distribution to beneficiaries is deductible by the trust. Gift taxes may also apply to either property transfers to a trust or distributions to beneficiaries."

REITs were created by an act of Congress in 1960 to enable large and small investors alike to enjoy the rental income from commercial property. REITs are governed by many regulations, the most important being that they must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders each year as dividends; the REIT is permitted to deduct dividends paid to shareholders from its taxable income. Other important regulations include: Asset requirements: at least 75% of assets must be real estate, cash, and government securities. Income requirements: at least 75% of gross income must come from rents, interest from mortgages, or other real estate investments. Stock ownership requirements: shares in the REIT must be held by a minimum of 100 shareholders. REITs specialize by property type. They invest in most major property types with nearly two thirds of investment being in offices, apartments, shopping centers, regional malls, and industrial facilities. The rest is divided among hotels, self-storage facilities, health-care properties, and some specialty REITs that own anything from prisons, theatres, and golf courses to timberlands.

"text": "A: Common fringe benefits provide employees total compensation above and beyond stated wages or salaries, and a wide range of fringe benefits are offered from employers. To take advantage of an employer’s fringe benefits in the most effective way, it is important for employees to understand how common fringe benefits are considered for taxation purposes. Taxable Fringe Benefits Any fringe benefit offered as a bonus to an employee from an employer is considered taxable income, unless it falls under a specific list of excluded benefits as determined by the IRS. Taxable fringe benefits must be included on an employee’s W-2 each year, and the fair market value of the bonus is subject to withholding. The most common fringe benefits considered a taxable part of total compensation include reimbursement for mileage expenses that exceed the limitations provided by IRS guidelines, relocation expenses for an employee who moves for employment that is less than 50 miles away, and reimbursement of education or tuition expenses that are not directly related to job performance or are in excess of stated IRS limits. In addition, a bonus that falls under the category of a working conditions benefit, such as a mobile phone or company car, is considered taxable if used outside of business. Fringe Benefits Excluded From Taxation Although some fringe benefits are considered a part of taxable income for employees, a lengthy list of common fringe benefits are excluded from an employee’s taxable compensation. First, fringe benefits that fall under the definition of de minimis benefits are not taken into consideration when determining taxable income. De minimis benefits are those that hold such a minimal amount of value that employers would have a difficult time accounting for them. For instance, a gift card given to an employee for a holiday or birthday is considered a de minimis benefit, as are refreshments or snacks provided during a business meeting."

"text": "\"Based on the employee-employer relationship, most gifts that you give to your employees are presumed to be compensatory in nature. What this means is that unless you can show that a gift is connected with an event that's totally unrelated to your business (for example, you attend an employee's wedding), gifts to your employees are considered taxable wages for payroll tax purposes. Gifts of property are treated no differently from monetary gifts. There is an exception to the rule during the Christmas holiday season. Christmas gifts are not considered taxable wages only if the gifts are items of property having nominal value (for example, a turkey or a ham). However, this exception is limited to property and does not apply to gifts of cash, no matter how nominal. Payroll Tax Obligations for Performance-Related Awards and Prizes Employee prizes and awards are generally considered taxable wages, on the theory that you present them in return for an employee's performance or services. However, there is an exception from the general rule. There are three limited circumstances under which you may be relieved from payroll tax obligations on noncash awards: Employee achievement awards of tangible personal property that are awarded to an employee because of the employee's length of service (including retirement), productivity, or safety achievement, made under a written plan that does not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees, and which average $400 or less during the year, are not taxable wages. They are considered \"\"qualified\"\" plan awards."

Start by looking at the definition of a \"\"qualified move\"\" as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, which requires: The move must be closely related in both time and place to the start of work at a new job location (work-related test). The distance between the employee's new principal place of work and old residence must be at least 50 miles greater than the distance between the old principal place of work and old residence, and the employee's commuting distance must have increased by at least 50 miles (distance test)In the 12-month period following the move, the employee must be a full-time employee for at least 39 weeks in that location or meet a qualified exception to the time limit (time test). Certain moving expenses, paid or reimbursed by the employer, are not taxable under the definition of U. S. wage income. To qualify as \"\"non-taxable,\"\" the expenses generally must be accountable, substantiated and reasonable for the circumstances of the move. Expenses that can qualify as non-taxable include: The transportation of household goods and personal effects (including in-transit storage and insurance expenses) from the old residence to the new residence. The costs of moving automobiles and pets are included in this category.? Note: Special rules apply for international relocations.

"text": "Moving Expense Guidelines Moving Expenses Tax Change As of January 1, 2018, all moving expense reimbursements are considered taxable income to the employee. This tax law change also applies to direct payments by an employer on behalf of the employee, such as payments by an employer to a moving company. As a result, all moving expenses paid by NDSU in tax year 2018 must be reported on employee’s payroll W-2 form as taxable income. Because of this tax law change, effective immediately, the recommended process for moving expenses is to use the lump sum payment method via the HR/Payroll process . There is no longer an advantage for the department to collect the employee’s receipts and process moving expense reimbursements for audit through the Accounting Office (via the Travel Expense module) in order to avoid taxes for the employee. The account code (#521050) for “Moving Expenses – Nontaxable” has been inactivated. The following guidance is to be used by departments in appropriately classifying expenses and reimbursable moving expenses under NDSU policy 171. Departments have three options when it comes to paying for authorized moving expenses of a benefitted employee. A lump sum payment to the employee, or Reimbursing the employee for actual expenses incurred, and Paying the vendor directly for services provided The lump sum payment option is not allowed to be used in combination with the other two payment options. Pros and Cons: The reimbursement method sometimes results in the employee not receiving reimbursement for all expenses promised by the hiring department because certain expenses may not meet the requirements."

"text": "How to Manage a Lump Sum Move Does your employee relocation package include a lump sum for moving expenses? If so, it’s important to know how to get the most out of your lump sum package so that you, and your employer, have a positive relocation experience. Employee Relocation Package and Taxes* Lump Sum payments to individuals for relocation expenses, including moving, are fully taxable as earnings. While some employees receive some tax assistance, or “grossed up,” lump sum packages in order to take home the full amount recommended for moving, others do not. Understandably, this creates a dilemma for transferees because there is often not enough money after taxes are deducted (about 40-45 percent) to pay for all of the things that the relocation package intended to cover. Payments made directly by your employer for household goods moving services to the moving company, however, are excludable and do not need to be reported on your Form W-2 or IRS Form 3903. Therefore, if your company arranges a direct billing agreement with a provider for household goods moving, 30 days or less of storage, automobile transportation, etc. it will save both of you a taxation headache (in terms of timing and deductions). Direct billing arrangements also have other potential advantages, including replacement coverage for damaged or lost items at no cost to you, as well as moving priority. If your company would prefer to avoid a direct billing arrangement for the whole employee relocation package, you can ask them to include just your moving expenses on an expense report which you will submit for reimbursement."

If your business has an accountable plan, the reimbursement of certain business expenses is not taxable to the employee. If your business reimbursement plan doesn't comply with IRS requirements for an accountable plan, these reimbursements are taxable to the employee, and withholding of federal income taxes and payroll taxes must be made on these payments. In addition, you as the employer must report these payments on the employee's W-2 form . Accountable plans may include reimbursement for a number of different employee expenses, including: Employee travel expenses, including meals and entertainment,Purchase of tools and equipment, and Employee home office expenses. The accountable plan also must include a procedure requiring employees to return excess reimbursements (those in excess of allowable amounts) to the employer. If an employer sets up and maintains an accountable plan, employee travel expenses do not have to be treated as taxable income. Allowable Plan Requirements In order to be considered an \"\"accountable plan\"\" by the IRS, your arrangement must include ALL of the following: The expenses must have a business connection; that is, they must have been paid or incurred while performing services as an employee. The employee must adequately account to the employer for these expenses within a reasonable time.

If you own a small business, you may prefer to reimburse your employees for their work-related expenses instead of obtaining a company credit card in their names. You may also want to reimburse a current or newly hired employee for his moving expenses. In most cases, reimbursements that do not exceed the employee's actual expenses are not taxable. However, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to adhere to strict guidelines, and if you do not, you may have to include the reimbursements as taxable income on the employee's Form W-2 at the end of the year. Accountable Plans The IRS considers you to have an accountable plan if you reimburse your employees for expenses directly related to work, the employee accounts for the expenses and, if you gave the employee an advance to cover his expenses, he returns any unused funds to you. An advance may meet the qualifications if you issued the advance within 30 days of the employee's expense, and if you calculated the advance to reasonably meet, but not exceed, the expected expenses. Reimbursements for expenses such as travel, meals and lodging are not taxable if issued under an accountable plan. To claim the expenses as a business deduction on your own taxes, enter the expenses in the proper category, such as meals or travel. Non-accountable Plans If you do not require employees to document their expenses and return excess amounts to you, their reimbursements are taxable."

January 17, 2011This question continues to confuse some family child care providers, Food Program (CACFP) sponsors, and tax professionals. The short answer is Yes. There is an exception – reimbursements received for a child care provider’s own child is not taxable income. IRS Publication 587 Business Use of Your Home says: “Do not include payments or expenses for your own children if they are eligible for the program [Food Program].” The reason is that such reimbursements are considered a “benefit” under Food Program regulations and not subject to taxes, like food stamps. How should you report Food Program reimbursements on your tax return? Here’s where there is the confusion. IRS Publication 587 says: “Reimbursements you receive from a sponsor under the Child and Adult Care Program of the Department of Agriculture are taxable only to the extent they exceed your expenses for eligible children. If your reimbursements are more than your expenses for food, show the difference as income in Part I of Schedule C. If you food expenses are greater than the reimbursements, show the difference as an expense in Part V of Schedule C.”Therefore, if you follow these instructions and your reimbursements were $4,000 and your food expenses were $5,000 you would should show zero income and $1,000 of food expenses on Schedule C. This is called the “netting” method – you are showing the net income or expense on Schedule C. However, a newer IRS publication has recommended that child care providers not use the “netting method”."

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

"text": "Qualfied Moving Expensesby Robert W. Ditmer, CPP*In the case of some fringe benefits that are offered to or given to employees, certain benefits can be excluded from an employee’s income because the expenses would normally be deductible on an individual’s personal income tax return. A moving or relocation expense is one such benefit. An individual who relocates because of a change in employment may attach a Form 3903 to his annual Form 1040 to deduct certain qualified moving expenses. And employers may either pay or reimburse an employee’s moving expenses without taxing the payments if the expenses would otherwise have been deductible using Form 3903. Employers who pay for the relocation expenses of an employee have the freedom to pay for whatever expenses they wish, but only those expenses that qualify as deductible can be excluded from the employee’s income. All other expenses paid or reimbursed are subject to withholding for federal income, social security, and Medicare taxes. The employer is also responsible for including such payments for FUTA taxes, and in most states the expenses are also subject to tax withholding. So employers must be able to answer the following questions in order to determine if relocation payments are subject to tax withholding: Who can deduct moving expenses? What moving expenses are deductible? How should moving expenses be reported?"

The Vested Units held in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account plus any accrued interest on such units shall be distributed to the Participant (or his Beneficiaries, as applicable) on December 31 of each of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date (each a “Distribution Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, if no Vested Units are held in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account on a Distribution Date, the Participant will not receive any distribution from the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account on such Distribution Date. Section 4.2 Form of Distribution. All distributions under the Plan with respect to Deferred Compensation Units shall be made in a single lump sum cash payment on the applicable Distribution Date, less any amounts to be withheld pursuant to Section 6.4 of this Plan. Section 4.3 Distributions for Unforeseeable Emergencies. ( a) The Participant may request a distribution of Vested Units under the Plan for an Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined below) without penalty. Such distribution for an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be subject to approval by the Administrator and may be made only to the extent necessary to satisfy the hardship plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). The Administrator may treat a distribution as necessary to satisfy the hardship if it relies on the Participant’s written representation, unless the Administrator has actual knowledge to the contrary, that the hardship cannot reasonably be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.20 (b) For purposes of this Section 4.3, an “Unforeseeable Emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 (a) of the Code), (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion."

"text": "\"Deductions for Casualty and Theft Losses2018-01-07Casualty and theft losses are generally deductible and reported on Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts, but the amount that can be deducted and the deductibility of incidental expenses, such as appraisals, depends on whether the property is personal, income-producing, or business. Personal property: Most expenses that are incidental to a loss, such as documentation expenses or legal expenses, are not deductible. However, any appraisal fees or other incidental expenses in recording the loss can be deducted on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions in the Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions section that is subject to the 2% adjusted gross income ( AGI) floor. The deductibility of personal-use property loss is limited to the following amount for each loss event: Deduction for Loss of Personal Property = Loss Amount – $100 – 10% × Adjusted Gross Income Income-producing property: Income-producing properties, such as securities, are also fully deductible and are claimed on Form 4684 and incidental expenses can be deducted on Schedule A under Other Miscellaneous Deductions, which is not subject to the 2% AGI floor. Business property: The full amount of the unreimbursed loss and all incidental expenses can be deducted. The loss for the property is claimed on Form 4684 and on Form 4797, Sales of Business Property, and incidental expenses can be deducted on Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, which also saves on employment taxes. Any deduction is reduced by reimbursement for the loss, such as from insurance. Under the new tax package passed by the Republicans at the end of 2017, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, casualty losses will only be deductible if the losses were from a natural disaster declared by the President. This provision starts in 2018 and expires at the end of 2025. Example: Deducting Losses for Personal-Use Property Your camera was stolen in March and you had a car accident in July."

Child and Elder care benefits Compensation time Family-friendly benefits Flex time Health insurance Job resources Life and disability insurance Phased retirement Professional development Relocation Retirement investment plans Sick, personal, and parental leave Tuition reimbursement Vacation time Child and Elder care benefits Child care and elder care are becoming more prevalent in benefits packages. If these issues affect your life, find out what the employer offers either in terms of payment or referrals. Back to top Compensation time (See also: Flex time) While few nonprofit employers offer overtime pay for exempt staff, many do offer “comp time.” Comp time means that for every extra hour you work overtime you can take up to an hour off. This may be a formal system that requires you to keep careful records, or it may mean that you have the flexibility to come in late or leave early; there may also be a cap to comp time. Back to top Family-friendly benefits Workplace policies and culture can have a huge impact on work/life balance for all employees and their families. For example, an employer may offer staff opportunities to telework, create their own work schedules, and/or receive paid leave to care for sick family members or a newborn or newly adopted child. Workplace cultural practices that benefit families include recognizing the family responsibilities of fathers (not just mothers), and considering staff for promotions, raises, and bonuses even when they take advantage of family-friendly policies. For more on family-friendly workplaces check out: National Human Services Assembly Caring Workplaces Initiatives Sloan Work and Family Network Workplace Flexibility 2010Back to top Flex time: Perhaps the employer can’t be flexible about your salary, but they may be flexible about your work time."

"text": "Relocation Packages 101I wanted to collect a check list for you what to consider when you negotiate an overseas assignment and the relocation package. If you have never lived outside your own country, it might be difficult to even think what all you need to know about moving to a different country, and how much that can cost. I have been living as an expat since 1997, and in every move there is something new even for me. If I forgot something important in this list, please add it to the comments. Make sure to subscribe to Skimbaco Lifestyle for more ideas how to enjoy life, no matter where in the world you are. What is a Relocation Package? Relocation package: the added bonuses, one time payments, allowances and paid perks related to a move due your job. Some of the perks are continuous, some one time payments. Amazing relocation packages (that make you more money than you ever imagined) are rarity these days due the bad economy, even though it used to be that you were able to save a nice nest egg just by working outside your country for a few years. However, great relocation packages still exist, and here are some of the things that you might want to have included in the relocation package, or at least know about when you negotiate your contract."

"text": "\"Relocationby Evil HR Lady on September 15, 2009My question is regarding a relocation pay-back clause. I accepted a postion with my company that involved moving from CA to TN in February of 2009. The company gave me a lump sum (after tax) of $10,000 to cover relocation and moving expenses. Since that time, I’ve decided that my long term goals don’t align with my company’s any longer. I’m looking to leave and actually have a new job opportunity on the table that I’m seriously considering. My problem is that when I went back and looked at the contract that I signed for the new position, it clearly states that if I leave the company within 12 months of the hire date, I am liable to pay back all (or a part) of my relocation expenses to the company. With this in mind, here are a few questions for you:1) Is this for real? Would a company really demand that I pay the relocation back? If so, how much do you think I would owe them? Would it be pro-rated for the number of months I worked in the position?2) Is this enforceable?"

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

While studying the complex rules on writeoffs, taxpayers take the annual IRS challenge: digging up receipts, searching for more expenses, comparing standard and itemized deductions and getting the forms filled out right. Although the IRS does not break out employment-related expenses, the agency does provide data on itemized medical expenses, interest, charitable contributions and tax payments; average employment-related expenses were the subject of a study by the Congressional Research Service in 2013. Data Delays The IRS releases statistics on average tax deductions, but takes time to gather the data. As of early 2013, the latest data available was for tax year 2010. In that year, 33 percent of all tax returns included itemized deductions. The standard deduction for 2010 was $11,400 for a joint return, and $5,700 for individuals and those filing as \"\"married, separate.\"\" The head of household standard deduction was $8,400. Medical Expenses The IRS breaks down average deduction numbers for six adjusted gross income, or AGI, levels. The average medical expense deduction for AGI between $15,000 and $30,000, for example, was $7,590."

Meeting the Requirements To be able to deduct your expenses, you must meet certain IRS qualifications.

Protests in Aysén due to the high cost of living in Patagonia Cost of living is the cost of maintaining a certain standard of living. Changes in the cost of living over time are often operationalized in a cost of living index. Cost of living calculations are also used to compare the cost of maintaining a certain standard of living in different geographic areas. Differences in cost of living between locations can also be measured in terms of purchasing power parity rates.

A COLA adjusts salaries based on changes in a cost-of-living index. Salaries are typically adjusted annually. They may also be tied to a cost-of-living index that varies by geographic location if the employee moves. In this later case, the expatriate employee will likely see only the discretionary income part of their salary indexed by a differential CPI between the new and old employment locations, leaving the non-discretionary part of the salary (e.g., mortgage payments, insurance, car payments) unmodified."

"text": "IRS Moving Deductions – What is Deductible? Finance | 03/16/2018 | By: Moving Team Tags: deductions, irs, moving, taxes Share this: Facebook Linked In Twitter More◄ Prev |One benefit that can help take the sting out of the cost of moving is that the Internal Revenue Service allows the deduction of certain expenses from your taxes as long as you meet its criteria. If you are moving as part of a job relocation and your employer is covering all of the costs, there won’t be much, if anything, for you to deduct. If not, you’ll want to make sure to keep track of the costs that the IRS will allow you to take. Do you qualify for IRS moving deductions? First, the IRS will only allow moving deductions for job-related reasons. This can be a new job, a transfer or even a first job. This means, however, you can’t move because you like the weather better someplace else. Job Requirement To make sure that you have moved because of a job, the IRS requires you to be employed full time for 39 weeks (about 10 months) of the first 12 months of your move and in the general area of your new job location. The 39 weeks does not have to be spent at the same job, just at a full-time job in the same area."

See C.14.8 for officials. Supporting receipts and invoices (where required by travel policy) with proof of payment must be attached; however, in extenuating circumstances, copies may be certified. Travel claims and travel emission calculator reports should be completed and submitted within one week of returning from travel status or at least monthly if on extended travel status.

A 2012 purchasing power study ranked Zurich first and Geneva fourth internationally. Workers require considerably less time to earn enough to buy universal products such as a Big Mac or an i Pod Nano.

"text": "FORTUNE — Dear Annie: My boss just told me that my employer, a Fortune 500 company, wants me to take a new job in San Francisco, which is about 1,200 miles away from where I live now. The position would be a lateral move rather than a promotion but, the way it’s been described to me, it does offer more opportunity for advancement than my current job, so it looks like a good career move. I’m concerned, however, about the move itself, for three reasons. First, the housing market where I live is still so bad (my neighbor’s home has been for sale for over two years with no takers), I doubt that I can sell my house except at a substantial loss. Second, the cost of living in northern California is much higher than where I live now, but is it customary to ask for a raise to cover that? And third, my partner has a thriving career here and would need some help finding a new job. I’ve heard that some companies offer “trailing spouse” job-search assistance, but is it realistic to expect that? Can I negotiate for it? — Up in the Air Dear Up: You’ve picked an interesting moment to ask. Employee relocations have been on the rise since 2010, according to the latest results of a detailed survey that Atlas Van Lines has been conducting every year since 1967. “"
