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.

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." }, { "docid": "D307181#0", "title": "http://pinworms.net/index.html\n.", "text": "\"What Are Pinworms And Are they Contagious?

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.

However, if the infection is heavy, these symptoms may be correspondingly more severe and also include loss of appetite, restlessness, and insomnia.

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.

Which Star Signs does Gemini get along with most easily? What are the best – and the worst – compatibility matches for Gemini? 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D138246#0", "title": "http://www.astrologycom.com/leo.html\nAstrologyCom.com", "text": "\"aries taurus gemini cancer leo virgo libra scorpio sagittarius capricornaquarius pisces Leo Relationships | Leo Sexuality | Leo Rising | Current Horoscope | Health Astrology Home Horoscopes Leo Relationships Leo Sexuality Leo Health Star Guide Relationships Relationship Analysis Soul Connection About Astrology Orders More Info Astrology and Health Runes The Zodiac About Us Leo's Year Ahead in 2012Leo the Lion The Flamboyant Leo Unique Astrology gift book gives humorous insight into Leo personality.

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 ]." } ]

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.

You made a good choice to start eat pistachios. A handful of nuts will give you lots of nutrients. Further, eating more than a handful will not do any harm. Most importantly, they will NOT make you gain weight." }, { "docid": "D820518#0", "title": "http://arabiczeal.com/kunafe-nablusia-queen-arabic-sweets/\nKunafe Nabulsia ~ The Queen of Arabic Sweets", "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." }, { "docid": "D1596246#0", "title": "http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/03/salumi-guide-italian-cured-meats-salami-prosciutto.html\nSalumi 101: Your Guide to Italy's Finest Cured Meats", "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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2360174#0", "title": "http://dailyburn.com/life/recipes/protein-healthy-cookie-recipes/\n10 Irresistible Protein Cookie Recipes", "text": "10 Irresistible Protein Cookie Recipes Recipes by Kate Morin on 12/4/2015Share 7.7K Pin 9.1K Email16.9KLooking for a way to liven up snack time?

[ 1] [2] Salads are typically served at room temperature or chilled, with notable exceptions such as south German potato salad which is served warm. 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D150781#0", "title": "http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20585485,00.html\nBest and Worst Nuts for Your Health", "text": "\"1 of 20 Getty Images Should you go nuts? Nuts are nature's way of showing us that good things come in small packages. 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.

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.

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." } ]

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." }, { "docid": "D2903511#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohawk_people\nMohawk people", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the people known as the Mohawk.

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." } ]

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D622871#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_potency\nCell potency", "text": "\"Cell potency From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cell potency is a cell's ability to differentiate into other cell types.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D620503#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-cell-wall\nWhat is a cell wall?", "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." }, { "docid": "D189506#0", "title": "http://www.aces.uiuc.edu/vista/html_pubs/PLBREED/pl_breed.html\nContents", "text": "\"Contents Plant Selection Fundamentals of Plant Production Kinds of Reproduction Parts of the Flower Types of Flowers Pollination and Fertilization Heredity General Breeding Techniques Equipment When to Breed Selecting the Parents Prepollination Steps Pollination Steps Postpollination Steps Observing the Outcome Breeding Experiments for You to Try Corn Squash Tomatoes Chrysanthmums Helpful Books Explanation of Terms Plant Breeding as a Hobby Breeding plants to create new varieties and improve upon old ones is a hobby that nearly everyone can engage in. 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." }, { "docid": "D1481479#0", "title": "http://kmbiology.weebly.com/mendel-and-genetics---notes.html\nGoal 3 - Mendel and Genetics", "text": "Goal 3 - Mendel and Genetics Mendel’s Experiments (Pages 253-top 257, Pages 257-258 Phenotypes and Genotypes, 260-261 Punnett Square (monohybrid crosses only), and Pages 261-262 Probability)Why Mendel Succeeded It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, carried out important studies of heredity -- the passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." } ]

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." } ]

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.

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.

Subscribe to our free newsletters. Just how long does it take for conventional plastics to completely break down? 500 years? 1,000? 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D62700#0", "title": "http://earth911.com/earth-watch/5-odd-recyclable-plastics/\n5 Odd Recyclable Plastics", "text": "5 Odd Recyclable Plastics Amanda Wills May 10, 20100Shares 3 0 0A common golf ball is made from rubber and plastic.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Recurrent miscarriage can also be unexplained, with no known cause.

To help relieve constipation, ditch the dangerous laxatives and eat these 17 foods that make you poop!1) Berries Pick a berry, any berry, and chances are it will help get things moving in no time. That’s because most berries are a good source of fiber. For example, one cup of fresh strawberries provides 2.9 grams of fiber. The same size serving of blueberries will provide you with 3.6 grams, blackberries have 8 grams, and raspberries also have 8 grams.

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." }, { "docid": "D383200#0", "title": "http://www.buzzle.com/articles/prunes-vs-plums.html\nPrunes Vs.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D7282#0", "title": "http://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/top-benefits-of-prunes-prune-juice\nThe Top Health Benefits of Prunes and Prune Juice", "text": "The Top Health Benefits of Prunes and Prune Juice Digestion Bladder Potassium Vitamins Iron Bones and muscles Cholesterol levels Blood pressure Appetite Emphysema Colon cancer Possible side effects Eating more prunes Overview Staying hydrated is a great way to protect your organs, and it’s also one of the secrets to healthy skin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[ 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 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1954137#0", "title": "http://www.ehow.com/facts_7466664_polar-bear_s-role-ecosystem_.html\nAre Polar Bears Dependent on Ice in Their Environment?", "text": "\"Polar bears are very dependent upon the ice for their very survival. Indeed, it is their natural habitat. 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." }, { "docid": "D3540765#0", "title": "http://www.wwf.ca/conservation/arctic/wildlife/polar_bear/\nIcons of the Arctic", "text": "Polar Bear Icons of the Arctic The largest bear in the world and the Arctic’s top wildlife predator, polar bears are a powerful symbol of the strength and endurance of the Arctic.

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.

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”.

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 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2488314#0", "title": "https://romanolawpc.com/oregon-dui-field-sobriety-tests-fsts/\nField Sobriety Tests Used in Oregon DUI Cases", "text": "Field Sobriety Tests Used in Oregon DUI Cases Michael Romano 2017-07-23T17:21:16+00:00Field Sobriety Tests in Oregon (also referred to as “sobriety tests,” “roadside tests,” or “drunk tests”) are often misunderstood due to myths, urban legends, and comedy routines.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D491323#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_driving_in_the_United_States\nDrunk driving in the United States", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article may be too technical for most readers to understand.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D528416#0", "title": "https://www.dui.com/colorado/dui-laws/\nColorado DUI Attorneys", "text": "Colorado DUI Attorneys DUI Lawyers in Colorado 800-852-8005Request a FREE DUI Attorney Consultation WARNING YOU ONLY HAVE 7 DAYSIn most cases, you only have 7 days from the date of your arrest for DUI, DWAI or DUID in Colorado to request an administrative hearing for your driver’s license.

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." } ]

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.

In Australia, the majority of political donations come in the form of donations from corporations, [1] which go towards the funding of the parties' election advertising campaigns. Donations and affiliation fees from trade unions also play a big role, and to a lesser extent donations from individuals. Donations occasionally take the form of non-cash donations, referred to as gifts-in-kind. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) monitors donations to political parties, and publishes a yearly list of political donors.

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." } ]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2829217#0", "title": "http://spofga.org/ten_commandments/2006/feb/church_info.php\nDo Churches Need 501 (c) (3) Status?", "text": "\"http://www.chalcedon.edu/articles/article.php?

However, unlike other vehicles for political activity, there is no explicit authority which exempts contributions to social welfare organizations from gift tax.

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.

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)." }, { "docid": "D200626#0", "title": "https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/investing-ideas/tax-strategy\nHow to invest tax-efficiently", "text": "\"How to invest tax-efficiently Create a strategy to help manage, defer, and reduce taxes.

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." }, { "docid": "D1406253#0", "title": "https://www.s-r-law.com/what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-for-nonprofit.html\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages for nonprofit, tax-exempt status?", "text": "What are the advantages and disadvantages for nonprofit, tax-exempt status?

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.

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. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D1532410#0", "title": "http://www.trackitt.com/uk-discussion-forums/i485-eb/601038753/does-immigration-expenses-are-tax-deductible\nDoes Immigration expenses are Tax deductible?", "text": "\"Does Immigration expenses are Tax deductible?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Previously we covered Jodhpur and Chelsea boots, and while the two were similar in some respects, they were also distinctively different. The Chukka boots also share a few similarities with them. In this case, the name ‘ Chukka’ itself is derived from the game of Polo and thus linking them, however superficially, to the Jodhpur boot that was designed specifically for Polo.

The term is itself derived from the Hindi word ‘chukkar’ meaning ‘circle’ or ‘turn’. Because there are different variations of uppers, it is unclear what exactly the original version looked like and how it got its name.

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." }, { "docid": "D118090#0", "title": "http://emilypost.com/advice/attire-guide-dress-codes-from-casual-to-white-tie/\nAdvice", "text": "Advice Attire Guide: Dress Codes from Casual to White Tie Find another article | View next article | Share this article Black tie, white tie; formal, semi-formal.

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." } ]

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." }, { "docid": "D2474176#0", "title": "http://www.eng.buffalo.edu/Courses/ce435/Polyethylene/ce435_intro.html\n.", "text": "Polyethylene CE 435 - Introduction to Polymers Term Project Brian Aylward Anthony J.

These new and better polymers, including polyethylene, were used to sustain the development of more new technologies in 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.

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.

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 ].

[ 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.

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.

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.

For example, it helps keep the walls of your cells flexible and is needed to make several hormones. 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 ).

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Here’s a look at the top ten lures for bass. The lure department at a bass fishing superstore is no place for the uninitiated. The staggering selection of bass lures can be downright overwhelming. There are lures of every imaginable shape, size and color, and each of them promises to bring in more and bigger bass with fewer snags. To add to the confusion, there are bass fishing lures designed for every possible variation in water temperature, condition and season — cold water, warm water, murky water and clear water, pre-spawn and post-spawn. Rather than cramming a hundred different bass lures into their tackle boxes, most experienced smallmouth and largemouth bass fishermen narrow down their options to a few favorites that consistently bag the biggest fish. While professional anglers are known to guard their lure selection strategies as closely as the locations of their favorite fishing spots, we’ve managed to reel in this list of 10 essential bass fishing lures that are famous for catching big bass year round across a broad range of water conditions.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D471296#0", "title": "https://www.eposeidon.com/blog/?p=837\n.", "text": "What should be in the top of your tackle box this season?

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." }, { "docid": "D2294046#0", "title": "http://www.buypoppers.us/amyl-nitrate-best-poppers-sale/\nAmyl Nitrate â The best poppers for sale?", "text": "Amyl Nitrate – The best poppers for sale?

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." }, { "docid": "D10545#0", "title": "http://drugabuse.com/library/inhalant-abuse/\nInhalant Abuse", "text": "Need Help Understanding Your Addiction Treatment Options?

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1784869#0", "title": "http://www.todayshomeowner.com/how-to-grow-oriental-poppies-in-your-garden/\nHow To Grow Oriental Poppies in Your Garden", "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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1064689#0", "title": "http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_circulars/circ567.html\nNew Mexico Onion Varieties", "text": "New Mexico Onion Varieties Circular 567Christopher S.

( 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.

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.

It will take the resulting bulbs anywhere from three to five years to reach blooming size.

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.

[ 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%." }, { "docid": "D6946#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppy\nPoppy", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the plant.

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

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. **" }, { "docid": "D1992240#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/papaver-paeoniflorum-71007.html\nWhat Is Papaver Paeoniflorum?", "text": "\"Related Articles Is it Legal to Grow Poppy Flowers?

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.

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. You may have Jello, fruit ice, popsicles without pulp (no red colors), clear hard candy, coffee or tea (no cream, you may have sugar) soft drinks, water, gatorade, clear fruit juices, bouillon soup, and chicken or beef broth.

May 7th 2016Cold and flu viruses are constantly mutating with slight changes in the structure of their DNA. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently there are over 10,000 known types of mushrooms. That may seem like a large number, but mycologists suspect that this is only a fraction of what's out there!

( 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1155155#0", "title": "http://www.epicurious.com/archive/seasonalcooking/farmtotable/visualguidemushrooms\nA Visual Guide to Mushrooms", "text": "\"A Visual Guide to Mushrooms Get to know your fungi Text by Esther Sung; photos by Chris Astleyshare Facebook Tweet pinit googleplus emailprint W ith their strange shapes and dark, damp growing environments, mushrooms sometimes seem to be shrouded by a veil of mystery.

CC BY-SADefining mushrooms All mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms. 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 ." }, { "docid": "D1537328#0", "title": "https://www.thespruce.com/porcini-mushrooms-funghi-porcini-3955187\nAll About Porcini Mushrooms (Funghi Porcini)", "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." }, { "docid": "D2610046#0", "title": "http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-work-with-dried-mushrooms-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-196980\nHow To Prepare Dried Mushrooms for Cooking", "text": "\"Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn How To Prepare Dried Mushrooms for Cooking Dana Velden Nov 8, 2013Share Email (Image credit: Dana Velden)Open Slideshow Dried mushrooms are often listed as an essential pantry item by many accomplished cooks.

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.

For those who eat it, meat provides protein and other nutrients, too, including iron, thiamine, and zinc.

In this article, we will be answering the question can dogs eat pork. 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." }, { "docid": "D2689444#0", "title": "http://www.monicasegal.com/wordpress/?p=719\n.", "text": "September 27th, 2012 | Posted by Monica in Home Made Diets For Dogs A myth, but one that circulates often.

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.

However there is a certain level of risk with giving pork to your dog. Eating pork leads to chances of getting the trichinosis infection in dogs. 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.

They are easily digested. Poultry bones and rabbit bones are completely fine. Be careful feeding raw beef bones and bones from large 4-legged animals (like pork, lamb, beef, etc) Weight-bearing bones like beef soup bones are incredibly dense and can wreck/chip/break your dog's teeth.

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." }, { "docid": "D2294975#0", "title": "http://www.firstchurchoftheinternet.org/studies/eatingpork.htm\nThe Adverse Influence of Pork Consumption on Health", "text": "\"The Adverse Influence of Pork Consumption on Health By Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, M. D. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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)." } ]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D958814#0", "title": "http://www.rer.org/Policy_Issues/Carried_Interest/Taxation_of_Carried_Interest.aspx\n.", "text": "\"The Real Estate Roundtable and numerous real estate trade organizations oppose the carried interest tax.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1333358#0", "title": "https://www.purina.com/dogs/dog-breeds/portuguese-water-dog\nPortuguese Water Dog", "text": "Home Dogs Dog Breeds Portuguese Water Dog Portuguese Water Dog Size Medium Height Males – 20 to 23 inches, Females – 17 to 21 inches Weight Males – 42 to 60 pounds, Females – 35 to 50 pounds Coat Black, white or brown Color Yellow, fawn, black, brown, or white Energy Medium Activities Conformation, Agility, Obedience, Retrieving, Water Rescue The courageous, lively Portuguese Water Dog was bred to assist fishermen at sea by retrieving, diving and guarding.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Flag When can you eat during Passover? Answer by Sunrise Law-Group Confidence votes 5The main restrictions are on what you can eat. Below are the restrictions on when you can eat: The prohibition to eat \"\"Chametz\"\" (bread, pasta, etc.) begins in the mid-morning before Passover, but according to Jewish custom we also don't eat Matza that day until the Seder. 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.

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. Kosher foods that are processed on \"\"dairy equipment\"\" (i.e., equipment that is also currently used to process items which contain dairy, or that has been used in the past to process dairy products and has not undergone a ritualized cleaning process since then) may have a \"\"D\"\" or \"\"DE\"\" after the Kosher symbol. From the food allergy perspective, these foods may be cross-contaminated with dairy ingredients. Kosher foods that are considered neutral (i.e. not \"\"dairy\"\" or \"\"meat\"\") have the word \"\"Pareve\"\" or \"\"Parve\"\" after the Kosher symbol." }, { "docid": "D2057975#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_mustard_kosher_for_passover\nIs rice kosher for Passover?", "text": "\"Messdad 792 Contributions Is rice kosher for Passover?

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." }, { "docid": "D2057976#0", "title": "http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/a-gentiles-guide-to-keeping-kosher-for-passover-165359211/\nA Gentileâs Guide to Keeping Kosher for Passover", "text": "The Torah couldn’t make things any clearer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D245528#0", "title": "http://rabbitadvocates.org/careinfo/misc/toxic.html\n.", "text": "Toxic Plants Following is a partial list of plants that rabbits should not eat.

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.

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.

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." } ]

( 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.

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.

Be careful, though, what you add to your sweet potato, and make sure you follow a varied food plan full of colorful plant foods.

You’ll get 2.3 grams of protein in that serving and a negligible amount of fat. 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.

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.

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.

Carbohydrates are found in many foods in different forms: sugars, starches, and fiber. Your body requires all three forms at different times.

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.

Plus, if your diarrhea is caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the BRAT diet may not be ideal (especially the applesauce). If your diarrhea is severe or lasts more than two days, it might be a sign of an underlying problem that you should talk to your healthcare provider about. Here are foods that can be easier on your digestive tract.1 Bananas Westend61/Getty Images Bananas are bland and easily digested, making them a good choice for settling your upset digestive system . As a bonus, the high level of potassium in bananas helps to replace electrolytes that may be lost by severe bouts of diarrhea. Bananas are also rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that helps to absorb liquid in the intestines and thus move stool along smoothly. This can help both in slowing down diarrhea and reducing constipation. Eat a banana or two to help restore balance to your digestive system.2 White Rice Doable/A.collection/Getty Images Plain white rice is easily digested and is high in carbohydrates." }, { "docid": "D1418206#0", "title": "http://www.thedietchannel.com/Cabbage-soup-diet.htm\n.", "text": "\"This low-fat, high-fiber diet promises loss of up to 10 pounds in one week.

Although the body needs various nutrients, including fiber, protein, and fats, some foods containing these can contribute to stomach issues. Examples of this conundrum are foods that are high in good fiber, such as vegetables and wheat, but which may be harder to digest than simpler carbohydrates . Also, fatty foods and some animal-based proteins take time for the body to break down and can mean hard work for the digestive system. So, the foods that are good for someone are often the opposite of what they might enjoy eating when they have an acute illness.

As a parent, we watch our child start to enjoy foods, and sooner or later butter enters the picture. 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." }, { "docid": "D1985190#0", "title": "http://nowiknow.com/the-curious-history-of-graham-crackers-and-corn-flakes/\nThe Curious History of Graham Crackers and Corn Flakes", "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." }, { "docid": "D3277045#0", "title": "https://pethelpful.com/dogs/Human-Foods-For-Dog-Suffering-From-Diarrhea\n10 Human Foods Good for Dogs With Diarrhea or Upset Stomach", "text": "Pet Helpful » Dogs » Health Problems10 Human Foods Good for Dogs With Diarrhea or Upset Stomach Updated on April 22, 2017ARADHYA more I am a software professional from India interested in dogs, technology, travel, and real estate.

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." } ]

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.

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).

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2331481#0", "title": "http://piratejack.net/blog/hydraulic-brake-booster-how-it-works/\nHydraulic Brake Booster: How It Works", "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.”" }, { "docid": "D2728802#0", "title": "https://www.carid.com/1995-honda-del-sol-parts/\n1995 Honda Del Sol Parts", "text": "\"Home All Products Parts Honda Del Sol 19951995 Honda Del Sol Parts Change Vehicle Auto Repair Parts Interior Accessories Exterior Accessories Performance Parts Automotive Lighting Wheels Tires Audio && Electronics Body Parts Tools && Garage1995 Honda Del Sol Search by Part Name...1995 Honda Del Sol Auto Repair Parts1995 Honda Del Sol A/C and Heating Parts Auto Repair Manuals1995 Honda Del Sol Steering Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Starting & Charging1995 Honda Del Sol Suspension Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Transmission Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Brake Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Air Intake Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Ignition Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Driveline & Axles1995 Honda Del Sol Electrical Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Emission Control1995 Honda Del Sol Engine Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Exhaust Parts1995 Honda Del Sol Fuel Delivery Automotive Tools Auto Detailing1995 Honda Del Sol Oils, Fluids, Lubricants1995 Honda Del Sol Engine Cooling Show items:30 60 90Sort by: Remy®Remanufactured Starter (0 reviews) # 63461651Honda Del Sol 1995, Remanufactured Starter by Remy®.

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." }, { "docid": "D136466#0", "title": "http://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/8687/is-it-necessary-to-flush-brake-fluid\nIs it necessary to flush brake fluid?", "text": "\"_Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for mechanics and DIY enthusiast owners of cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Before obtaining a commercial driver’s license, most states require truckers to pass a pre-trip inspection test. The CDL pre-trip inspection test can seem overwhelming due to the number of items that need to be checked. However, the test is not as difficult as it seems, especially with our CDL pre-trip inspection checklist. Read more about what a truck driver does. During a CDL pre-trip inspection, truckers inspect many aspects of their commercial vehicle, including the overall safety of the vehicle; major hoses, fluid levels, and vehicle belts; the clutch or gear shift; and emergency equipment. The driver demonstrates their knowledge by walking around the vehicle, checking various safety components and explaining why each part should be checked for safety.

Its only there to prevent air from entering the system and provide pressure. A turkey baster and a fluid of brake fluid will go a long way. But i'd still bleed the system asap just to be on the safe side. It wont do much, if any damage.

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." }, { "docid": "D254296#0", "title": "http://www.simple-car-answers.com/Car-Leaks.html\nCommon Car Leaks, and How to Diagnose Them.", "text": "\"This Site Was Built With You In Mind!Common Car Leaks, and How to Diagnose Them.by Eddie Carrara Your car leaks and you're not sure what's leaking, you're starting to panic.

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).

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D421188#0", "title": "http://windowsitpro.com/powershell/powershell-objects-and-output\nPowerShell: Objects and Output", "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.

Power Shell need no longer be perplexing. Power Shell is both a powerful command-line shell and a scripting language, providing the full richness of the . NET framework in an interactive environment. Power Shell is useful for administrators and developers of varying skill levels. Though it requires effort to learn, you can be quite productive with Power Shell after gaining only a small proportion of the skills and then acquiring more incrementally as you need to. Probably the most oft-cited hurdle of getting up to speed with Power Shell is learning the syntax and, in particular, the punctuation. If you review articles on Power Shell (mine included) you will often see a reader comment to the effect, “Good stuff but you don’t really explain what [X] is…” where X might be “ % { ... } ” or “$_” or “ $ ($process.name) ” or many other quirky-looking expressions." }, { "docid": "D3433034#0", "title": "http://windowsitpro.com/powershell/active-directory-powershell\nManaging Active Directory with PowerShell", "text": "\"Management & Mobility Managing Active Directory with Power Shell How to use the Active Directory module Darren Mar-elia | Oct 15, 2013When Windows Power Shell first shipped, one of the most commonly asked questions was, \"\"Can I manage Active Directory (AD) using Power Shell?\"\" At the time, Microsoft's answer wasn't what most administrators wanted to hear. 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." }, { "docid": "D2706446#0", "title": "http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1629555\npowershell microsoft word add field code to footer", "text": "\"Home Forums Programmers Languages Power Shell (Microsoft) Forumpowershell microsoft word add field code to footerthread1619-1629555Forum Search FAQs Links MVPsreesewilson (IS/IT--Management) (OP) 30 Nov 10 11:35I have field codes set up in some documents which will display the current date when it is printed, but be invisible the rest of the time, as far as I know.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2283559#0", "title": "https://www.babycenter.com/0_postpartum-depression_227.bc\nPostpartum depression", "text": "Home / Baby / Your Postpartum Health / Postpartum Depression & Emotional Health Postpartum depression IN THIS ARTICLEI just had a baby.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D959992#0", "title": "http://mypostpartumlife.com/stagesofppd/\nThe 5 Stages of Postpartum Depression", "text": "\"The 5 Stages of Postpartum Depression By Kaitlyn Brough / January 6, 2017The 5 Stage of Grief by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross were engrained into my head during nursing school.

In this stage you begin to feel overwhelmed and are barely surviving to get from one day to the next.

PPD stands for purified protein derivative. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

Story highlights The number of births in the US rose 1% in 2014, the first increase since 2007The reproductive rebound was driven by women in their thirties and forties who may be responding to the economic rebound The rate of teen births dropped to 24.2 for 1,000 teens, which is an all-time low (CNN) The number of births in the United States went up last year for the first time since 2007, according to an annual report by the CDC National Center for Health Statistics. The report found that there were 62.9 births for every 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44, which represents an increase of 1% over the birth rate in 2013. The spike was driven by women in their 30s and early 40s, who had 3% and 2% more births, respectively, than in the previous year. For women in their 30s, the birth rates were 100.8 per 1,000 women age 30 to 34 and 50.9 per 1,000 women age 35 to 39. In contrast, the birth rate among teens 15 to 19, which has been waning since 1991, plummeted 9% since 2013. It was 24.2 per 1,000 teens in 2014.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2063671#0", "title": "https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/pregnancy-and-travel\nPregnancy and travel", "text": "Home Healthy living Healthy pregnancy Pregnancy and travel Pregnancy and travel Share Download PDF Listen More Travel and holidays Travel and holidays - Travel and holidays throughout life Immunisation Immunisation - Travel and immunisation Healthy pregnancy Healthy pregnancy - Keeping healthy during pregnancy Summary If you are pregnant, the safest time for you to travel is during the second trimester, provided you aren’t experiencing any complications.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2061369#0", "title": "http://allrecipes.com/recipe/21829/marinated-pretzels/\nMarinated Pretzels", "text": "\"Home Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Marinated Pretzels156 made it | 95 reviews Recipe by: Sue\"\"Large, salted sourdough pretzels work best for this appetizer.

Knowing which carbohydrates are refined and unrefined is important because a high triglyceride level increases the odds of coronary heart disease and premature death.

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." } ]

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." }, { "docid": "D3273363#0", "title": "https://www.fmsinc.com/free/NewTips/PrimaryKey.asp\nMicrosoft Access Tables: Primary Key Tips and Techniques", "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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D572174#0", "title": "http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-table-foreign-keys.html\n.", "text": "\"13.1.18.6 Using FOREIGN KEY Constraints My SQL supports foreign keys, which let you cross-reference related data across tables, and foreign key constraints, which help keep this spread-out data consistent.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D831565#0", "title": "http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/gooseneck-loosestrife/gooseneck-loosestrife-flowers.htm\nLoosestrife Gooseneck Variety: Information About Gooseneck Loosestrife Flowers", "text": "Loosestrife Gooseneck Variety: Information About Gooseneck Loosestrife Flowers Printer Friendly Version Image by Eunice By Bonnie L.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1744764#0", "title": "http://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2013/02/perennials-which-require-cold-stratification/\nPerennials Which Require Cold Stratification", "text": "Perennials Which Require Cold Stratification SPRING IS COMING, FOLKS!

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." }, { "docid": "D2747821#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primula_veris\nPrimula veris", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Primula veris Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Asterids Order: Ericales Family: Primulaceae Genus: Primula Species: P. veris Binomial name Primula veris L.

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.

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.

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." } ]

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." }, { "docid": "D1133131#0", "title": "http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/15/business/la-fi-mo-kellogg-pringles-sale-20120215\nKellogg's buys Procter & Gamble's Pringles chips for $2.7 billion", "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 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?)." }, { "docid": "D2977090#0", "title": "http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/33773/how-to-make-crispy-dry-potato-chips-crisps\nHow to make crispy/dry potato chips/crisps?", "text": "\"_Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs.

My homemade chips soaked up too much oil, making them slightly too 'wet', for the lack of a better word.

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." }, { "docid": "D773529#0", "title": "http://www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/cocoa-powder-instead-chocolate\nCan unsweetened cocoa powder be used instead of unsweetened or semisweet chocolate squares or chips?", "text": "\"How To Cooking Questions recipes Can unsweetened cocoa powder be used instead of unsweetened or semisweet chocolate squares or chips?

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." }, { "docid": "D1443654#0", "title": "http://www.babynology.com/meaning-farah-f32.html\nFarah meaning", "text": "\"Farah meaning Name : Farah Add Suggesstion/Comment Gender : Feminine Meaning of Farah : Used in country/religion : Afghan , African , American , Arabic , Australian , British , Chinese , Danish , English , Farsi , French , German , Gujarati , Indonesian , Iranian , Kannada , Latin , Muslim , Parsi , Pashtun , Sindhi , Telugu Rhyming Names of Farah: Aarah, Abfarah, Adarah, Afsarah, Aharah, Alarah, Aljoharah, Allarah Names Similar to Farah : Fara, Faraa, Faraji, Fara, Faran, Faraasat, Faraaz, Farag, Faraj, Faraq Popularity Rank : Farah name was top ranked at 808 position in American during year 1976and most recently ranked at 397 position in American during year 2012Name Farah has been Common throughout the last hundred plus years and ranked at 3948 position. 4696 numbers of people were named Farah so far in last 100 years.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1947079#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/307982-how-many-calories-are-in-a-potato-chip/\nHow Many Calories Are in a Potato Chip?", "text": "How Many Calories Are in a Potato Chip?by WILLIAM MCCOY Oct. 03, 2017If you enjoy the salty crunch of potato chips, knowing the caloric value of the snack helps you stay within your meal plan.

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." } ]

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D649886#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-USB-micro-A-and-micro-B-connectors\nWhat is the difference between USB micro-A and micro-B connectors?", "text": "\"Computer Peripherals Universal Serial Bus (USB) Computer Hardware Electronics Computers What is the difference between USB micro-A and micro-B connectors?ad by Datadog HQ.com Get deep insights into Mongo DB performance.

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)." }, { "docid": "D732622#0", "title": "http://smallbusiness.chron.com/can-connect-laptops-printer-through-router-27630.html\nCan I Connect My Laptops to My Printer Through My Router?", "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." }, { "docid": "D1882384#0", "title": "http://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/new-computer-doesnt-recognize-old-dell-printer-25199.html\nMy New Computer Doesn't Recognize My Old Dell Printer", "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?

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D463542#0", "title": "http://www.belkin.com/us/Products/Mobile-Accessories/c/WSSTCRGCBL/\nChargers & Cables", "text": "Chargers & Cables Travel Charge Kit$69.99MIXIT↑™ Dura Tek™ USB-C™ to USB-A Cable (USB Type-C™)$29.99Black Rose Gold Gold Silver BOOST↑UP™ Wireless Charging Pad for i Phone X, i Phone 8 Plus, i Phone 8$59.99USB-C™ Car Charger + Cable (USB Type-C™)Valet Charger™ Power Pack 6700 m Ah for Apple Watch + i Phone$99.99USB-C ™ Car Charger (USB Type-C™)$29.99MIXIT↑™ Dura Tek™ USB-C™ Cable Built with Du Pont™ Kevlar® (USB Type-C™)$29.99Black Rose Gold Gold Silver3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rock Star™$34.99Pocket Power 15K Power Bank (aka Portable Charger)$49.99USB-C™ to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB Type-C™)$34.99BOOST↑UP™ Wireless Charging Pad for Samsung$59.993.1 USB-C™ to USB-C Cable (USB Type-C™)$29.99MIXIT↑™ 2.0 USB-C™ to Micro USB Charge Cable (USB Type-C™)$19.992.0 USB-C™ to Mini-B Charge Cable (USB Type-C™)$19.99MIXIT↑™ Dura Tek™ Lightning to USB Cable$29.99Black Rose Gold Gold Silver Valet™ Charge Dock for Apple Watch + i Phone$129.99Black Rose Gold Silver Car Power Valet™$79.993.1 USB-A to USB-C™ Cable (USB Type-C™)$29.99USB-C™ to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB Type-C™)$34.99MIXIT↑™ 2.0 USB-A to USB-C™ Charge Cable (USB Type-C™)$17.99Blue White Red Black Green Pink BOOST↑UP™ Qi™ Wireless Charging Pad (5W)$39.99Universal Home Charger with Micro USB Charge Sync Cable (10 Watt/ 2.1 Amp)$24.99Universal Car Charger with Micro USB Charge Sync Cable (10 Watt/ 2.1 Amp)$24.99Universal Wireless Charging Pad (5W)$49.99BOOST↑UP™ Qi™ Wireless Charging Pad (5W, AC adapter not included)$29.99BOOST↑UP™ Home Charger with Lightning to USB Charge Sync Cable (12 watt/2.4 Amp)$39.99BOOST↑UP™ Car Charger with Charge Sync Cable (12 watt/2.4 Amp)$34.99USB-C Car Charger with Hardwired USB-C Cable and USB-A Port (USB Type-C™)$34.99BOOST↑UP™ Quick Charge™ 3.0 Car Charger with USB-A to USB-C™ Cable (USB Type-C™)$29.99BOOST↑UP™ Quick Charge™ 3.0 Home Charger with USB-A to USB-C™ Cable$34.99Belkin Charge Cable Valet™$34.99BOOST↑UP™ 2-Port Car Charger + USB-A to USB-C Cable$39.99BOOST↑UP™ 2-Port Car Charger + USB-A to Lightning cable$39.99Pocket Power 5K Power Bank (aka Portable Charger)$29.99Black Rose Gold Silver Dual Car Power Valet™$99.99MIXIT↑™ Metallic Car Charger$29.99White Black Rose Gold Gold Silver Gray MIXIT↑™ Lightning to USB Keychain$34.99MIXIT↑™ Lightning to USB Clip$34.99MIXIT↑™ Lightning to USB Leather Tassel$34.99Road Rockstar: 4-Port Passenger Car Charger$39.99BOOST↑UP™ 2-Port Car Charger + USB-A to Micro-USB cable$34.99MIXIT↑™ Metallic Micro-USB to USB Cable$24.99 $17.99Save $7.00White Black Rose Gold Gold Silver Gray MIXIT↑™ Metallic Lightning to USB Cable$24.99White Black Rose Gold Gold Silver Gray Universal Car Charger (5Watt/1Am)$19.99Micro-USB Cable with Lightning connector Adapter$24.99MIXIT↑™ Coiled 3.5mm Aux Cable$14.99Blue Black Green USB-C™ Car Charger + USB-C Cable (USB Type-C™)$34.99USB-C Charger Kit + Cable (USB Type-C™)$49.99USB-C™ Home + Car Charge Kit (USB Type-C™)$79.99USB-C™ + USB-A Home Charger + Cable (USB Type-C™)$49.992.0 USB-C™ to USB-B Printer Cable (USB Type-C™)$19.99USB-C Home Charger + USB-C to USB-C Cable (USB Type-C™)$39.99USB-C to USB-A Cable with Universal Home Charger$34.99BOOST↑UP™ 2-Port Car Charger$29.99Universal Car Charger with Micro USB Charge Sync Cable (12 Watt/ 2.4 Amp)$19.99White Black MIXIT↑™ Micro USB Charge Sync Cable$12.99White Blue Red Black Green Pink Purple MIXIT↑™ Lightning to USB Charge Sync Cable$29.99White Blue Red Black Green Pink MIXIT↑™ Metallic Colormatch Charge Kit + Cable$99.99Black Rose Gold Gold Silver BOOST↑UP™ Hardwired Lightning Home Charger$29.99MIXIT↑™ Power Pack Home Kit -

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1592880#0", "title": "http://www.yetiownersclub.co.uk/forum/phone-pairing-for-dummies_topic610.html\nphone pairing for dummies", "text": "\"Author Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topicbandh Members Profile Send Private Message Find Members Posts Add to Buddy List Groupie Joined: 12 Jun 2013 Location: blackpool Status: Offline Points: 95Post Options Post Reply Quote bandh Report Post Thanks (0) Quote Reply Topic: phone pairing for dummies Posted: 20 Jun 2013 at 1:29pmhi all, trying to pair my wifes phone with the bolero unit.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D375098#0", "title": "http://www.thewindowsclub.com/launch-start-private-browsing\nHow to start private browsing in Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera", "text": "How to start private browsing in Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera RECOMMENDED: Click here to repair Windows problems & optimize system performance In Private Browsing in Internet Explorer enables you to surf the web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer.

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." }, { "docid": "D917083#0", "title": "http://www.irv2.com/forums/f258/real-annual-cost-to-operate-rv-140614.html\n.", "text": "\"Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 >This discussion is proudly sponsored by: Please support our sponsors and let them know you heard about their products on i RV2Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes10-20-2012, 04:07 PM # 1DVCOLLIERJunior Member Join Date: Oct 2012Posts: 1Real annual cost to operate RVBeen looking at 40 to 45 foot RV's for a year.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D542343#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/bio-k-probiotic\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Bio K Probiotic", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Bio K Probiotic Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Stanley Himes1 doctor agreed:1 I want to buy probiotics high in bifidus factor.

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." }, { "docid": "D2125350#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/527919-do-probiotics-cause-gas/\nDo Probiotics Cause Gas?", "text": "\"Do Probiotics Cause Gas?by DIANE MARKS Aug. 14, 2017Probiotic supplements are intended to help with digestive health, but in some cases probiotics may cause increased gas and bloating.

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.

D. 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?

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1370249#0", "title": "https://www.mommypotamus.com/5-eczema-triggers-to-avoid/\n5 Eczema Triggers To Avoid", "text": "5 Eczema Triggers To Avoid Heather 39 Comments This post contains affiliate links.

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.

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.

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." } ]

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3259171#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080518192516AAItHIk\nIn what phase does a cell divide?", "text": "\"Education & Reference Homework Help In what phase does a cell divide?

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." }, { "docid": "D2830050#0", "title": "http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-prokaryotes-and-eukaryotes\nDifference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes", "text": "Difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Tweet Key difference: The main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is based on their different size and cell structure.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1628446#0", "title": "http://directpropaneservices.com/SAFETYINFO/HOWTOREADYOURTANKGAUGE/tabid/142/Default.aspx\n.", "text": "How to read your tank gauge If you do not know how to read your gauge, it is important that you contact your propane provider or continue to read below.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D138289#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen_analysis\nSemen analysis", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D75882#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/inflammatory_bowel_disease_intestinal_problems/page2.htm\nInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (Intestinal Problems of IBD)", "text": "\"Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (Intestinal Problems of IBD) Center Inflammatory Bowel Disease Slideshow Take the Tummy Trouble Quiz Ulcerative Colitis Slideshow Pictures Patient Comments: Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Experience Patient Comments: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Treatments Find a local Gastroenterologist in your town Inflammatory bowel disease facts What is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D916063#0", "title": "http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2201945\nprednisone tapering schedule", "text": "\"prednisone tapering schedule Forum Rules | Moderators | Password Help Home | Log In | Register | Calendar | Chat | Search | Help Healing Well.com Forum > Diseases & Conditions > Ulcerative Colitis > prednisone tapering schedule [ << Previous Thread | Next Thread >> ]Bacon Girl Veteran Member Date Joined May 2011 Total Posts : 5487Posted 9/1/2011 3:24 PM (GMT -6)just wondering how you are tapering on prednisone if you take it. i read a lot on here that people taper by 10 mg a week but my prescript ion is for 5 mg taper every week. how do doctors pick the taper dosage? i'd rather get off of it sooner than later because i still haven't noticed any improvements while taking it.

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." }, { "docid": "D455333#0", "title": "http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20562454,00.html\n10 Tips for Going on a Liquid Diet", "text": "\"1 of 11 Getty Images When, how to skip solid food People with Crohn's disease often struggle to digest food, particularly when symptoms flare up.

Home Family Health Kids and Teens Proteinuria in Children Proteinuria in Children Share Print Advertisement What is proteinuria? 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." }, { "docid": "D3502028#0", "title": "http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blogspot.ca/2013/09/bladder-kidney-stones-in-dogs-cats.html\nBladder, Kidney Stones in Dogs, Cats - Types, Symptoms, Diet, Treatment", "text": "Bladder, Kidney Stones in Dogs, Cats - Types, Symptoms, Diet, Treatment In this article…Threat Rating to the Health of Your Dog or Cat Common Signs, Symptoms of Bladder and Kidney Stones Bladder Crystals and Stones vs. Kidney Crystals and Stones Understanding Crystals and Stones by Type; Cause and Treatment – a Synopsis Understanding PH Levels Inflammatory Diets - Crystal and Stone Forming and Aggravating Prescription Dog and Cat Food for Bladder and Kidney Stones – Health Supporting or Health Threatening?

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1772875#0", "title": "http://www.healthline.com/health/protein-electrophoresis-urine\nProtein Electrophoresis Urinalysis", "text": "Protein Electrophoresis Urinalysis What the test measures Preparation and test Lab work Results What is protein electrophoresis?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1874811#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100111152659AAk0gqo\nWhat is the function of the nucleolus?", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the function of the nucleolus?i've heard different things Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The nucleolus (also called nucleole) is a non-membrane bound structure [1] composed of proteins and nucleic acids found within the nucleus.

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." }, { "docid": "D1967929#0", "title": "https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/care/pruning-shrubs-part-2-when-best-time-prune\nPruning Shrubs, Part 2 - When is the Best Time to Prune?", "text": "\"Pruning Shrubs, Part 2 - When is the Best Time to Prune?

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." }, { "docid": "D2241984#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_a_prune_a_vegetable_or_fruit\nHow do you prune fruit tress?", "text": "Zaf 12,624 Contributions How do you prune fruit tress?in spring or the end of summer, you want to let the sun enter and open up the tree, you want branched that grow parralel to the ground.

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." }, { "docid": "D2757198#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/prune-razzle-dazzle-crape-myrtle-27983.html\nHow to Prune a Razzle Dazzle Crape Myrtle", "text": "\"Related Articles How to Grow the Dwarf Crape Myrtle Plant Crape Myrtle Characteristics Fertilizers for Crape Myrtles How & When to Prune a Dwarf Myrtle Plant Long enjoyed in the West for their flowering beauty and low water needs, crape myrtle trees and shrubs (Lagerstroemia indica) thrive in sun-drenched summers and mild winters.

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.

H. 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." }, { "docid": "D1298875#0", "title": "http://www.horseforum.com/horse-health/potatoes-ok-feed-horses-99169/\n.", "text": "post #1 of 12Old 09-28-2011, 09:55 PM Thread Starter Horserider33Foal User Horses Join Date: Jun 2011Location: Illinois Posts: 68 • Horses: 3Are Potatoes Ok To Feed To Horses?

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).

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.

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)." }, { "docid": "D2645674#0", "title": "http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/horses/\nHorses", "text": "Horses Alphabetic A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZFrom cave paintings it is believed that the equid from which modern horses are derived resemble the modern Przewalski Horse. 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D831035#0", "title": "https://draxe.com/chicory-root/\nChicory Root: The Coffee Substitute that Treats Diabetes, Constipation & Osteoarthritis", "text": "Natural Remedies Chicory Root Chicory Root: The Coffee Substitute that Treats Diabetes, Constipation & Osteoarthritis Chicory Root: The Coffee Substitute that Treats Diabetes, Constipation & Osteoarthritis1208 19 737Do you love your morning of cup of coffee but worried about caffeine overdose? 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).

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.

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)." }, { "docid": "D486941#0", "title": "http://top10supplements.com/best-fiber-supplements/\nBest Fiber Supplements â Top 10 Brands Reviewed for 2018", "text": "Best Fiber Supplements – Top 10 Brands Reviewed for 2018Share 663 Tweet Pin 16 +1 20699Jump Ahead to the Top 10 Fiber Products What is Fiber? 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." }, { "docid": "D723249#0", "title": "http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/\nPrunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet", "text": "Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet Michael Greger M.

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." }, { "docid": "D1225871#0", "title": "http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/can-much-psyllium-husk-10591.html\nCan You Take Too Much Psyllium Husk?", "text": "Related Articles Risks of Psyllium Husk What Is Better Psyllium Seed Powder or Whole Psyllium Husk? Benefits of Psyllium Husks vs. Psyllium Powder Can Too Much Fiber Upset Your Stomach? 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." }, { "docid": "D2332361#0", "title": "https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/psyllium-husks-powder-12-oz-powder/vs-1654\nPsyllium Husks Powder (12 Ounces Powder)", "text": "Home Digestion Fiber Psyllium Psyllium Husks Powder (12 Ounces Powder) Print Email Previous Psyllium Husk Powder | The Vitamin Shoppe Brand Next12BOGOROLLOVER TO ZOOM+ ADD TO WISHLISTITEM # : VS-1654/1312594the Vitamin Shoppe Psyllium Husks Powder (12 Ounces Powder)$8.99PRICEBUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFFEARN 9 HEALTHY AWARDS WITH PURCHASE8INSTORE AT: Kennewick, WA CHANGE STORESELECT DELIVERY OPTION: Shipping/Return Info SHIP TO HOME | EST.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D901603#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/511333-psyllium-vs-wheat-dextrin/\nPsyllium vs. Wheat Dextrin", "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." }, { "docid": "D1014857#0", "title": "https://examine.com/supplements/psyllium/\nPsyllium", "text": "\"Supplements Nutrition Store SIGN UP LOGINSignup Login My Cart History Quick Navigation Summary Things to Know How to Take Human Effect Matrix Scientific Research Citations Psyllium Psyllium (usually as husk or powder) is a fiber derived from the plant Plantago psyllium that is able to bind to fatty acids and cholesterol from the diet; it can increase fecal moisture and weight. 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." } ]

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.

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.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D770374#0", "title": "https://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2010/14/key-tips-to-promoting-successful-car-show\nKey Tips to Producing a Successful Car Show", "text": "\"Producing a car show requires a lot of work and even more planning, says Street Performance Council (SPC) Select Committee member Regis Finn.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3109690#0", "title": "http://www.mushroomexpert.com/puffballs.html\n.", "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." }, { "docid": "D2630126#0", "title": "https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Basidiomycota\nBasidiomycota", "text": "\"This is a curated page.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3096297#0", "title": "http://www.bellarmine.edu/faculty/drobinson/Dandelion.asp\n.", "text": "\"Dandelion Dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale Weber)Interesting Information About Plant: The dandelion is an extraordinary plant. 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." }, { "docid": "D1002745#0", "title": "https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pug.htm\nPug", "text": "\"Pug Information and Pictures Hector the Pug waiting for a treat.

S. today, and in the world. 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." }, { "docid": "D1849617#0", "title": "http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/survey-5-breeds-that-are-super-cute-but-not-always-super-clever\nSurvey: 5 Breeds That Are Super Cute but Not Always Super Clever", "text": "\"Survey: 5 Breeds That Are Super Cute but Not Always Super Clever By Vetstreet Staff | Wed Jan 08 08:01:00 EST 2014Twitter Print Email We recently listed the top five smartest dog breeds as chosen by veterinary professionals, and, unsurprisingly, our readers were quick to comment on other breeds that show enormous intelligence.

Magnesium is known for relax the nerves and muscles. It is known for building and strengthening the bones and for smooth blood circulation. 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!

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." }, { "docid": "D3559295#0", "title": "http://naturalhealthtechniques.com/list-of-antioxidants/\nList of Antioxidants | antioxidant", "text": "List of Antioxidants | antioxidant List of Antioxidants: Antioxidants include a group of vitamins, minerals, herbs and enzymes that help to protect the body from the formation of free radicals.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3045766#0", "title": "http://recipes.mercola.com/pumpkins-chili-chicken-recipe.aspx\nPumpkin Chili with Chicken Recipe", "text": "Pumpkin Chili with Chicken Recipe28Date Published: October 19, 2014 • 125,165 Views Previous Next If you live in the US, you may regard pumpkins primarily as an ornamental squash, and use them to decorate your home for fall or carve into a jack-o-lantern on Halloween.

What matters most is how you use them in your diet. Calories in vs. Calories Out Keeping your weight under control revolves around your caloric intake.

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).

November 1, 2013By Kyle E. Hart Ignorance is bliss. Punitive damages are not. 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." }, { "docid": "D1118938#0", "title": "http://www.ageeclymer.com/blog/3-types-damages-personal-injury-cases/\nBlogs", "text": "Blogs3 Types of Damages in Personal Injury Cases October 21, 2014Preparing for a personal injury lawsuit can be difficult, especially when you are unsure of the outcome.

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.

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.

CAUSES OF ACTIONIn Pennsylvania, claims against transportation companies are commonly brought under the following theories of liability:1. 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2983229#0", "title": "http://www.mcandl.com/puni_frame.html\nInsurability of Punitive Damages", "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." }, { "docid": "D2062444#0", "title": "http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/media-liability-insurance\nMedia Liability Insurance", "text": "\"Media Liability Insurance If your online activities are not covered under your current insurance policies, a growing number of companies are offering media liability insurance.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3312609#0", "title": "https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-sperm-meets-egg/\nWhen Sperm Meets Egg", "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." }, { "docid": "D1676113#0", "title": "http://www.mitchellspublications.com/guides/shells/articles/0065/\nSand Dollar: A Cookie Decorated with Flowers", "text": "A Sand Dollar and its five jaws.

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." }, { "docid": "D348169#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellfish\nShellfish", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Raw oysters, opened, and presented on a plate A shrimp cocktail Shellfish is a food source and fisheries term for exoskeleton -bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. 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. [ 1] Echinoderms are not as frequently harvested for food as molluscs and crustaceans; however, sea urchin roe is quite popular in many parts of the world.

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.

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.

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.

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\"\".

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." }, { "docid": "D723478#0", "title": "https://www.laketobias.com/\n.", "text": "Adventure Seeking Safaris SAFARI TOURS are the special attractions at Lake Tobias.

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." }, { "docid": "D1570639#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbling\nBabbling", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A babbling infant, age 6 months, making ba and ma sounds (15 seconds)Babies begin babbling around 5-7 months of age Babbling is a stage in child development and a state in language acquisition during which an infant appears to be experimenting with uttering articulate sounds, but does not yet produce any recognizable words. Babbling begins shortly after birth and progresses through several stages as the infant's repertoire of sounds expands and vocalizations become more speech-like. [ 1] Infants typically begin to produce recognizable words when they are around 12 months of age, though babbling may continue for some time afterward. [ 2] Babbling can be seen as a precursor to language development or simply as vocal experimentation. The physical structures involved in babbling are still being developed in the first year of a child's life. [ 3] This continued physical development is responsible for some of the changes in abilities and variations of sound babies can produce. Abnormal developments such as certain medical conditions, developmental delays, and hearing impairments may interfere with a child's ability to babble normally. Though there is still disagreement about the uniqueness of language to humans, babbling is not unique to the human species.

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.

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)." }, { "docid": "D537592#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Are-flea-treatments-harmful-for-geriatric-cats\nAre flea treatments harmful for geriatric cats?", "text": "\"Letrisa M Miller, Feline Veterinarian Answered May 10, 2011 · Author has 177 answers and 738.2k answer views There are at least two products that are not harmful to geriatric cats if used according to directions. 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D35878#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130801180928AA4QbL6\nWhy is permethrin toxic to cats but not dogs?", "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.

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.

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.

Flea infestation is one of the great banes in life for many pet and poultry owners. 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." }, { "docid": "D3476455#0", "title": "https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/pyrethrins-and-pyrethroids\nPyrethrins and Pyrethroids", "text": "Related Information OPP Update announcing the risk assessment availability Search EPA Archive This page includes information on the use of pyrethrins and pyrethroids as insecticides, the current reevaluation of this group of pesticides in registration review, and previous assessments, decisions, and risk mitigation efforts.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are insecticides included in over 3,500 registered products, many of which are used widely in and around households, including on pets and in treated clothing, in mosquito control, and in agriculture. 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. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides whose chemical structures are adapted from the chemical structures of the pyrethrins and act in a similar manner to pyrethrins." }, { "docid": "D2928867#0", "title": "http://www.petmd.com/cat/parasites/evr_ct_fleas_on_cats_tick_preventive_medication_for_dogs\nUsing Flea and Tick Preventive Products Made for Dogs and Cats", "text": "Using Flea and Tick Preventive Products Made for Dogs and Cats By Jennifer Kvamme, DVMPreventive Product Basics Both cats and dogs need to be given preventive products for fleas and ticks.

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. Most pet owners go to great lengths to care for their pets, but there are unseen health hazards to pets which are commonly overlooked, yet easily avoided.

However, when you have both cats and dogs in your home, it's important to understand that the treatment you use on your dog can be harmful if used on your cat. The flea preventives we recommend for cats include ingredients that eliminate adult fleas (insecticides) and either Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) or Insect Development Inhibitors (IDIs), which prevent juvenile fleas from developing into biting adults. IGRs and IDIs act on receptors that are present only in insects, not in mammals. Some insecticides in dog flea treatments can be harmful to cats. Reading labels is important, and it can be tricky.

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.

Although some of the government's rabbit eradication methods have been successful in controlling their spread, the overall rabbit population in Australia is still well beyond sustainable means. 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).

Well that depends on what you are looking to do with your rabbits!This is the first question you need to ask yourself. Do you want really nice pelts but also some good meat, Do want a high production New Zealand White to pump out 6+ litters a year of good healthy meat for your family. Most medium sized rabbits will work! Rex’s have some of the best pelts around! Their awsome fur is in the highest demand of all the other rabbit pelts available, They also have a good body type for meat, they will take a little longer than most “Meat Breeds” to get up to harvest weight. I raise Silver Foxes and their pelts and meat producing ability tops some of the best NZW I have seen. Satins, another meat/pelt breed I raise, I did a post on this breed in the December archives, Check it out for more on this breed (Great dual purpose rabbit for the homestead), The New Zealand White, Californian, American, Chinchillas, Creme/Champagne D Argent’s, and so, so, many more.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2836879#0", "title": "http://www.gardenguides.com/79048-make-manure-compost.html\nHow to Make Manure Compost", "text": "Home »Produce How to Make Manure Compost By Bobbi Keffer; Updated September 21, 2017Composting livestock manure is beneficial to your garden and to the care of livestock. 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." }, { "docid": "D2080667#0", "title": "http://www.wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Rabbit_Sale_Laws_in_the_US\nRabbit sale laws in the US", "text": "\"Rabbit sale laws in the US (Redirected from Rabbit Sale Laws in the US)navigation search Contents [ hide ]1 Alabama2 Arkansas3 Arizona4 California5 Colorado6 Connecticut7 Delaware8 District of Columbia9 Florida10 Georgia11 Illinois12 Indiana13 Iowa14 Kansas15 Kentucky16 Maine17 Maryland18 Massachusetts19 Michigan20 Minnesota21 Montana22 New Hampshire23 New Jersey24 New Mexico25 New York26 North Carolina27 North Dakota28 Ohio29 Pennsylvania30 South Carolina31 Tennessee32 Texas33 Vermont34 Virginia35 Washington36 Wisconsin37 Further reading38 See also39 References All breeders in the US are subject to the Animal Welfare Act which applies if they sell more than $500 of animals per year to a pet store or distributor.

They procreate with uncontrollable velocity, consume cropland like locusts, and contribute significantly to soil erosion. Although some of the government's rabbit eradication methods have been successful in controlling their spread, the overall rabbit population in Australia is still well beyond sustainable means. 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. After destroying two million acres of Victoria's floral lands, they traversed across the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Queensland. By 1890, rabbits were spotted all the way in Western Australia. Australia is an ideal location for the prolific rabbit." }, { "docid": "D3203688#0", "title": "http://countrysidenetwork.com/daily/livestock/rabbits/what-fruits-can-rabbits-eat/\nWhat Fruits Can Rabbits Eat?", "text": "Livestock What Fruits Can Rabbits Eat?

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." } ]

The size and shape of rabbit ears can differ greatly depending on the breed. A rabbit’s ears should have a very acute sense of hearing. 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.

Because of this, the “normal” temperature range falls between 100.5 and 103.5 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if your rabbit is stressed (such as a trip to the vet or being handled when not used to it) the temperature may be elevated to 104 or even slightly higher. Additionally, temperature may tend to run slightly higher in the evening hours. 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." }, { "docid": "D947268#0", "title": "http://www.thenaturetrail.com/rabbit-breeding/care-newborn-baby-bunny/\nNewborn Baby Rabbit Care", "text": "Newborn Baby Rabbit Care Caring For Baby Bunny Kits During Their First Week Of Life After waiting a whole 31 days, your doe pulls fur and kindles.

The empirical formula of ofloxacin is C 18 H 20 FN 3 O 4 and its molecular weight is 361.38. The structural formula is: Ofloxacin Otic Solution contains 0.3% (3 mg/m L) ofloxacin with benzalkonium chloride (0.0025%), hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, and water for injection. Additional hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust the p H (6.5 ± 0.5).

In two single-dose studies, mean ofloxacin serum concentrations were low in adult patients with tympanostomy tubes, with and without otorrhea, after otic administration of a 0.3% solution (4.1 ng/m L (n=3) and 5.4 ng/m L (n=5), respectively). In adults with perforated tympanic membranes, the maximum serum drug level of ofloxacin detected was 10 ng/m L after administration of a 0.3% solution.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1396238#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinkajou\nKinkajou", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Kinkajou Conservation status Least Concern ( IUCN 3.1) [1]Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Procyonidae Genus: Potos Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire & Cuvier, 1795Species: P. flavus Binomial name Potos flavus ( Schreber, 1774)Kinkajou range The kinkajou ( / ˈ k i ŋ k ə dʒ uː / KING -kə-joo) ( Potos flavus) is a rainforest mammal of the family Procyonidae related to olingos, coatis, raccoons, and the ringtail and cacomistle. It is the only member of the genus Potos and is also known as the \"\"honey bear\"\" (a name that it shares with the sun bear ). Kinkajous may be mistaken for ferrets or monkeys, but are not closely related to either. Native to Central America and South America, this mostly frugivorous, arboreal mammal is not an endangered species, though it is seldom seen by people because of its strict nocturnal habits. However, they are hunted for the pet trade, for their fur (to make wallets and horse saddles) and for their meat. The species has been included in Appendix III of CITES by Honduras, which means that exports from Honduras require an export permit and exports from other countries require a certificate of origin or re-export.

Strange noises in the attic or walls? Chances are, you’ve got a new furry (or feathery) friend living in your home. 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." }, { "docid": "D1259626#0", "title": "http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/blog/motherraccoon.html\nMother Raccoon with Babies", "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.

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." } ]

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. Later, a \"\"pulsed\"\" version was introduced that could be used from a stationary or moving vehicle." }, { "docid": "D1461210#0", "title": "http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattle911/2011/02/07/whats-the-age-of-consent-for-sex-in-washington/\n.", "text": "What’s the age of consent for sex in Washington? 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2068473#0", "title": "http://www.carsonelove.com/which-states-legally-allow-radar-detectors-in-the-car\nWhich States Legally Allow Radar Detectors in the Car?", "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." }, { "docid": "D1335130#0", "title": "https://solos2gwngwn.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/legal-inside-your-state-or-not-radar-detectors-are-here-to-stay-exposed/\nLegal Inside Your State Or Not â Radar Detectors Are Here To Stay Exposed", "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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D490988#0", "title": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radarbeep&hl=en\nRadar Beep - Radar Detector", "text": "Radar Beep - Radar Detector Radar Beep S.

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?

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2199732#0", "title": "http://www.pathologyoutlines.com/topic/mandiblemaxilladentigerous.html\nGeneral =========================================================================", "text": "Home Chapter Home Jobs Conferences Fellowships Books Advertisement Mandible-Maxilla Odontogenic cysts Dentigerous Reviewer: Annie S.

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." }, { "docid": "D803526#0", "title": "http://www.ada.org/en/publications/cdt/glossary-of-dental-clinical-and-administrative-ter\nGlossary of Dental Clinical and Administrative Terms", "text": "\"Glossary of Dental Clinical and Administrative Terms There are many terms used daily by dentists and their staff in the course of delivering care to patients, maintaining patient records and preparing claims.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1113679#0", "title": "http://scienceline.org/2007/02/ask-cooper-wisdomteeth/\nWhy Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?", "text": "Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?- asks Rachele Cooper, a scienceline staff member A troublesome tooth.

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.

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?

Radio waves are in a different part of this spectrum than (visible) light, but they are fundamentally the same thing: electromagnetic radiation. The difference is the frequency and thus wavelength, with radio waves having a longer wavelength and thus lower frequency.

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. The report, however, does not reflect the time of the communication. The Andrea Gail was approximately 150 miles east of Sable Island, presumably heading home to Gloucester — but possibly headed inland for shelter or fuel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D8858#0", "title": "http://www.astrosociety.org/edu/publications/tnl/71/howfast.html\nHow Fast Are You Moving When You Are Sitting Still?", "text": "\"www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 71 - Spring 2007© 2007, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112.

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." }, { "docid": "D3179675#0", "title": "https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/buick/enclave/interior\n2018 Buick Enclave", "text": "\"See Photos »$39,995MSRPDon't overpay.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D173686#0", "title": "http://www.livescience.com/50259-microwaves.html\nWhat Are Microwaves?", "text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Reference: What Are Microwaves?

Though growing in popularity here in the United States, jicama is popular in Mexico and South America, and has been so for centuries. It's often served raw as a street food in Mexico, with a squeeze of lemon or lime and some hot sauce or chili powder, and is also a traditional featured food during the Mexican Day of the Dead, a holiday to honor those who have passed and focus on life for the future. In Asia, jicama is used in many dishes as well, including as an ingredient in the filling of spring rolls, and people in Thailand enjoy jicama raw in salads or with a hot, salty dip made of fish sauce and chilis. Sweet Like an Apple, Used Like a Water Chestnut Jicama is incredibly versatile. Served raw, it has a crunchy, white flesh that tastes similar to a not-too-sweet apple." }, { "docid": "D358752#0", "title": "http://drlwilson.com/Articles/VEGETABLES.htm\n.", "text": "ALL ABOUT VEGETABLESby Dr. Lawrence Wilson© November 2016, L.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1162408#0", "title": "http://thefruitpages.com/acidsweet.shtml\n.", "text": "Good food categories Fruits and olive oil;Raw Vegetables / Cooked Vegetables;Grains and Pasta;Nuts & Seeds;Unrefined sugars (often brown).1.

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." }, { "docid": "D3125632#0", "title": "http://www.healthlibrary.com/book18_chapter253.htm\n.", "text": "NATURE CURE A WAY OF LIFE ( By Dr. S.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D136150#0", "title": "https://homeremedyshop.com/20-home-remedies-for-chest-congestion-relief/\n20 Home Remedies for Chest Congestion Relief", "text": "\"What is Chest Congestion? Chest congestion is a very common infection in the respiratory system. It involves inflammation of the lower tract of the respiratory system, which ultimately causes difficulty in breathing.

When we breathe, we inhale several particles, like dust, viruses, allergens, bacteria, etc. These particles get trapped by mucus, which covers the mucus membranes.

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.

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.

Weil, University of Maryland Charles White, Penn State University Dr. Yvonne Lawley, University of Manitoba Over the past decade, radishes have been redefined; once known almost exclusively as a pungent vegetable, radishes have recently gained recognition for their cover cropping potential. After reading this article, you'll be able to make an informed decision about whether cover crop radishes are worth a try on your farm. Radishes have made rapid inroads as a cover crop for several reasons. 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." }, { "docid": "D1494779#0", "title": "https://www.qdma.com/radishes-for-deer/\nRadishes for Deer", "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." }, { "docid": "D2663838#0", "title": "http://www.naturalnews.com/031944_radishes_health_benefits.html\nRadishes offer many health and nutritional benefits", "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.

To add extra pounds, you need to eat more calories. However, there's no hard and fast rule for the number of extra calories you need to gain a pound. Healthy weight gain requires a change in how you eat, as well as how you move. To discuss a personalized diet and exercise plan to meet your specific needs, consult a registered dietitian. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The 3,500-Calorie Rule It's generally understood that 1 pound contains 3,500 calories. Logically, eating an extra 3,500 calories, or 500 more calories each day for a week, will lead to a 1-pound weight gain. 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 an extra 500 calories a day may help you gain a pound, your calorie needs increase a bit as you gain because your body is larger, which means you may need to eat slightly more to continue gaining." }, { "docid": "D1630577#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/460875-can-i-gain-healthy-weight-from-eating-raisins/\nCan You Gain Weight Healthfully by Eating Raisins?", "text": "\"Can You Gain Weight Healthfully by Eating Raisins?by SYLVIE TREMBLAY, MSC Oct. 03, 2017The quality of your diet plays a key role in your health, and setting a goal to gain weight isn't a license to eat anything you want. 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. Raisins offer lots of nutritional benefits, and they're relatively high in calories, so they can work well in a weight gain diet. 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. Healthful Benefits of Raisins The best weight gain diets are made up of healthy foods, which ensures you're getting the nutrients you need -- like minerals and vitamins -- in addition to calories." }, { "docid": "D907143#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/397236-how-healthy-is-trail-mix/\nHow Healthy Is Trail Mix?", "text": "\"How Healthy Is Trail Mix?by TRACY MORRIS Oct. 03, 2017It's fast, it's tasty and easy to make -- and yes, trail mix can be good for you, too.

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. “" }, { "docid": "D1057717#0", "title": "http://www.slimkicker.com/foods/gummy-bears-2085841\nHow many carbs are in Haribo Gummy Bears", "text": "150 Calories Per Serving Number of Calories: Based on 22 pieces serving Calories: 150Fat: 0g Carbs: 34g Protein: 3g Nutritional Value and Information How much cholesterol are in 1 serving?0 milligrams is 0% of your daily limit for a healthy female.

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.

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 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1403350#0", "title": "http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/16891/can-we-digest-raw-starch\nCan we digest raw starch?

Quite possibly one of the strangest, seemingly contrived acronyms in existence, FODMAPs represents a collection of foods to which a surprisingly large number of people are highly sensitive.

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.

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.

PHA actually consists of two closely related proteins, called leucoagglutinin ( PHA-L) and PHA-E. The letters E and L indicate these proteins agglutinate erythrocytes and leukocytes (red and white blood cells). Phytohaemagglutinin has carbohydrate-binding specificity for a complex oligosaccharide containing galactose, N -acetylglucosamine, and mannose. [ 2]It is found in the highest concentrations in uncooked red kidney beans and white kidney beans (also known as cannellini ), [3] and it is also found in lower quantities in many other types of green beans and other common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), as well as broad beans ( Vicia faba) such as fava beans. [ 4] It has a number of physiological effects and is used in medical research. In high doses, it is a toxin. The lectin has a number of effects on cell metabolism; it induces mitosis, and affects the cell membrane in regard to transport and permeability to proteins. It agglutinates most mammalian red blood cell types. As a toxin, it can cause poisoning in monogastric animals, such as humans, through the consumption of raw or improperly prepared kidney beans.

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." }, { "docid": "D943031#0", "title": "https://blog.bulletproof.com/revenge-of-the-beans-tomatoes-potatoes-lectins/\nRevenge of the Beans: How Lectins Suck Your Energy And Make You Weak", "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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3334835#0", "title": "https://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/bookkeeping/create-income-statement-4-easy-steps/\nCreate An Income Statement In 4 Easy Steps", "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." }, { "docid": "D954317#0", "title": "https://www.business-case-analysis.com/break-even-analysis.html\nBreak Even Point Analysis, Fixed and Variable Costs Definitions, Meaning Explained, Example Calculations", "text": "\"Home > Encyclopedia > B > Break Even Analysis Break Even Point Analysis, Fixed and Variable Costs Definitions, Meaning Explained, Example Calculations Business Encyclopedia ISBN 978-1929500109Updated 2018-04-098 © 2018 Solution Matrix Ltd Break even analysis finds break even volume by analyzing relationships for fixed and variable costs on the one hand, and business volume, pricing, and net cash flow on the other.

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." }, { "docid": "D1048922#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/document/170472019/015-3P-Lean-Production-Preparation-pdf\nProduction Preparation Process (3P): Lean Concepts for Project Planning", "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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1020053#0", "title": "https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-business/chapter/the-income-statement/\nThe Income Statement", "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.

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.

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." } ]

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.

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.

Innovators developed synthetic fabrics to overcome some of the inherent limitations of natural fibers. Cotton and linens wrinkle, silk requires delicate handling, and wool shrinks and can be irritating to the touch. Synthetics delivered greater comfort, soil release, broader aesthetic range, dyeing capabilities, abrasion resistance, colorfastness and lower costs. 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2176666#0", "title": "https://courses.lumenlearning.com/biology1/chapter/overview-of-photosynthesis/\nOverview of Photosynthesis", "text": "Overview of Photosynthesis Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Summarize the process of photosynthesis Explain the relevance of photosynthesis to other living things Identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis Describe the main structures involved in photosynthesis All living organisms on earth consist of one or more cells. 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.

Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur. The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents. Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants. Reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps, the so-called elementary reactions, and the information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism.

The catalyst, usually present in small amounts, is not consumed in the reaction. 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.

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.

[ 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." }, { "docid": "D2750759#0", "title": "http://www.wiley.com/college/pratt/0471393878/student/review/thermodynamics/4_gibbs.html\nThermodynamics", "text": "SECTIONS1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Gene therapy is a promising new field of medical research. Researchers try to supply copies of healthy genes to cells with variant or missing genes., so the \"\"\"\"good genes will take over. Viruses are often used to carry the healthy genes in to the targetted cells; because many viruses can insert their own DNA into targetted cells.

The answer is by gene transmission. Genes are located on chromosomes and consist of DNA. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Difference Between Calorie Burns in Stationary & Recumbent Bikes The Advantages of a Recumbent Bicycle Cycling for the Obese Recumbent bicycles are designed so you sit lower to the ground with your legs out in front of you rather than sitting up with your legs below you. 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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D1239062#0", "title": "http://livehealthy.chron.com/recumbent-bike-trim-4433.html\nWhat Does a Recumbent Bike Help Trim?", "text": "Related Articles1 [Stationary Bike Work] | What Parts of the Body Does a Stationary Bike Work?2 [Recumbent Bike] | Can a Recumbent Bike Tone the Butt & Thighs?3 [Exercise Bike] | What Muscles Are You Toning When Riding an Exercise Bike?4 [Recumbent Bike] | Can Riding a Recumbent Bike Strengthen the Abs? 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." }, { "docid": "D1971683#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/429718-exercise-bikes-good-toning-legs/\nAre Exercise Bikes Good for Toning Legs?", "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." }, { "docid": "D2386211#0", "title": "http://www.toptenreviews.com/health/fitness/best-exercise-bikes/\nBest Exercise Bikes of 2018", "text": "We've been evaluating exercise bikes for the past five years.

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.

Is there a difference? In simple terms, one type is distinguished from the other by the position of the rider. Regardless of your response, stationary bicycles are a safe and effective means of exercise according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) as the bikes provide the option for a low-impact cardiovascular activity. 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." } ]

How to Prevent Bulking Up on a Bicycle Recumbent Stationary Bike Workout Tips Fitness enthusiasts and novices alike appreciate bike riding for its fun and fast exercise benefits. 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D513864#0", "title": "http://chicargobike.blogspot.com/2013/05/youre-not-too-heavy-to-ride-bike.html\nYou're Not Too Heavy to Ride a Bike!", "text": "\"You're Not Too Heavy to Ride a Bike!This Worksman Newsgirl bike is rated for 500 lbs / about 200 Kg capacity.

Exercise Bikes Stationary bikes come in upright or recumbent models, with recumbent models allowing you to lean back as you pedal, taking stress off your back.

Question Date: 2010-10-20Answer 1: Blood is red because it is made up of cells that are red, which are called red blood cells. 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." }, { "docid": "D717695#0", "title": "http://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/sickle-cell-anemia/background.html\nSickle Cell Anemia", "text": "Search Health 3,000+ Topics Send Feedback Health > Times Health Guide > s > Sickle Cell Anemia > In-Depth Report: Background Sickle Cell Anemia Overview In-Depth Report Background Risk Factors Symptoms Prognosis Diagnosis Complications Treatment of Complications Prevention and Lifestyle Changes Treatment References Reporter's File5 Things to Know Questions for Your Doctor Clinical Trials View & Print In-Depth Report »Web Links Sickle Cell Disease Association of America National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)Sickle Cell Society (UK)NHLBI Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers Find clinical trials Related Topics Hemoglobin Sickle Cell Test Thalassemia Newborn Screening Tests Osteonecrosis In-Depth From A. 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." }, { "docid": "D232507#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/hemoglobin/page2.htm\nHemoglobin (Low and High Range Causes)", "text": "\"What is hemoglobin?

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.

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.

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." } ]

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D79920#0", "title": "https://www.cuteness.com/article/foods-do-baby-turtles-eat\nWhat Foods Do Baby Turtles Eat?", "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.

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. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is also called Lou Gehrig’s disease and is a progressive, ultimately fatal disorder that eventually disrupts signals to all voluntary muscles.

Spasticity Classification and external resources Specialty Neurology ICD - 10 R25.2Diseases DB 20872Medline Plus 003297e Medicine neuro/706 pmr/177Me SH D009128 [ edit on Wikidata]Spasticity (from Greek spasmos-, meaning 'drawing, pulling') is a feature of altered skeletal muscle performance with a combination of paralysis, increased tendon reflex activity and hypertonia. 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. GABA's inhibitory actions contribute to baclofen's efficacy as an anti-spasticity agent.

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." }, { "docid": "D1006408#0", "title": "http://www.dartmouth.edu/~dons/part_1/chapter_10.html\nChapter 10 - Motor system examination", "text": "\"On this page Examination of the motor system Strength\"\"Deep tendon\"\" reflexes Superficial reflexes Muscle bulk Coordination Muscle tone Abnormal movements Station Gait Disorders of the motor system Muscle disease (myopathy)Neuromuscular disease Lower motor neuron damage Upper motor neuron damage Basal gangliar disease Cerebellar disease References Questions Chapter 10 - Motor system examination In this chapter we discuss the evaluation of the motor systems, that is the systems involved in generation and control of voluntary and reflex movements. 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.

For increased blood pressure, see Hypertension. 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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2326005#0", "title": "http://depts.gpc.edu/~decms/ibim/nervoussystem2.htm\n.", "text": "THE NERVOUS SYSTEMAll organisms are endowed the ability to control their environments (external and internal environments).

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. NAADAC has established a set of ethical best-practices that apply to universal ethical deliberation. 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. Addiction professionals must act in such a way that they would have no embarrassment if their behavior became a matter of public knowledge and would have no difficulty defending their actions before any competent authority." }, { "docid": "D2681439#0", "title": "http://www.armystudyguide.com/study-guide-online/online-study-guide.php?cat=40\nArmy Programs", "text": "\"Home > Online Study Guide Topics > Army Programs Army Programs Download PDF Version Download Flashcards Online Flashcards Email to a friend1 What does ASAP stand for?

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.

In an effort to protect the public, CRCC has developed a credentialing process. 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?" }, { "docid": "D1376239#0", "title": "http://tpcjournal.nbcc.org/the-removal-of-the-multiaxial-system-in-the-dsm-5-implications-and-practice-suggestions-for-counselors/\nThe Removal of the Multiaxial System in theDSM-5: Implications and Practice Suggestions for Counselors", "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)." }, { "docid": "D459121#0", "title": "http://www.naadac.org/code-of-ethics\nCode of Ethics", "text": "Download the NEW Code of Ethics (Effective October 9, 2016)Introduction to NAADAC/ NCC AP Ethical Standards Ethics are generally regarded as the standards that govern the conduct of a person. 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. NAADAC has established a set of ethical best-practices that apply to universal ethical deliberation. 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. Addiction professionals must act in such a way that they would have no embarrassment if their behavior became a matter of public knowledge and would have no difficulty defending their actions before any competent authority." }, { "docid": "D1671078#0", "title": "http://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/admissions/tuition/\nTuition & Fees", "text": "\"Section Menu Students Enrolled at UMSON Baltimore Students Enrolled at the Universities at Shady Grove Nursing Informatics or Health Services Leadership and Management Master's Students Learn about the many ways you can fund your education, including:financial aidscholarships Federal Work Studygraduate assistantships Veterans Affairs (VA) Education Benefits Information Overview The UMSON Scholarship & Grants Office assists students with Veterans Administration (VA) education benefits.

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." } ]

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.)" }, { "docid": "D1550371#0", "title": "http://peopleof.oureverydaylife.com/give-welcome-remarks-6718.html\nHow to Give Welcome Remarks", "text": "Be cheery while giving your welcome remarks.

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." }, { "docid": "D868123#0", "title": "http://visitexcelsior.com/weddingvenues.html\nSign Up For News!", "text": "Say “I Do” to Excelsior Springs!Whether you want a small, simple wedding or a big, elaborate affair, Excelsior Springs unique and scenic community makes a picture perfect backdrop for your event in every season.

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?

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." } ]

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2545827#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervidae\nDeer", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Cervidae)navigation search This article is about the ruminant animal.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2763178#0", "title": "http://www.internationaltaxreview.com/Article/3221966/Property-investment-structures-in-Ireland.html\nProperty investment structures in Ireland", "text": "\"Property investment structures in Ireland21 June 2013Email a colleague Email a friend Your name: Your email: Please enter a maximum of 5 recipients.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D3398363#0", "title": "http://www.bizfilings.com/toolkit/sbg/tax-info/payroll-taxes/what-constitutes-taxable-compensation.aspx\nDetermining What Constitutes Taxable Compensation", "text": "\"Based on the employee-employer relationship, most gifts that you give to your employees are presumed to be compensatory in nature.

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.

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.

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.

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”." }, { "docid": "D809155#0", "title": "http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?DocID=SAV%2FFBTGEMP%2F00021\nFringe benefits tax - a guide for employers", "text": "Printable version Fringe benefits tax - a guide for employers This document has changed over time.

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." }, { "docid": "D1226965#0", "title": "https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525/ar02.html\nPublication 525 - Main Content", "text": "\"Publication 525 - Main Content Employee Compensation In most cases, you must include in gross income everything you receive in payment for personal services.

[ { "docid": "D1338708#0", "title": "http://www.payroll-taxes.com/articles/qualfied-moving-expenses\nQualfied Moving Expenses", "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?" } ]

( 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).

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.

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.

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.

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." }, { "docid": "D2597600#0", "title": "http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/ocg/fmb/manuals/FAP/FAP_C.htm\nCPPM Procedure Chapter C: Reimbursement of Expenses", "text": "\"CPPM Procedure Chapter C: Reimbursement of Expenses This chapter of the Core Policy and Procedures Manual describes procedure requirements supplementary to Chapter 10 on travel and for the reimbursement of expenses, such as travel, relocation, business meetings and incidentals.

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. “" } ]
