"text": "\"Plug and play grid tie inverters I got so excited when I read that you can buy a plug-and-play grid tie inverter and pump the electricity from your solar panel directly into the grid for less than a hundred bucks that I snatched up the first one I saw on ebay. The theory is sound and would make small-scale solar fit into the average person's price range...if it wasn't illegal and potentially hazardous. The dream is that you can simply plug a solar panel directly into one of these small inverters, and plug the other end of the inverter into an electric socket in your house. On the level I'm interested in, there's no way you'd actually be feeding energy back into the grid since continuous loads in your house (like the computer, fridge, etc.) will suck up all the juice you've created. But you would lower your electric bill, and would also remove the most disposable part of a solar power system --- the batteries. Without the repeated purchase of batteries,I figured even the solar panels you can buy at Harbor Freight for less than $200 would pay for themselves before they began to seriously lose efficiency. The problem with the dream is that utilities require you to jump through such a series of hoops before tying into the grid that you might as well not even think about it unless you're willing to sink a few thousand dollars into the project. I contacted our local electric company (Appalachian Electric Power) and found out that in order to plug in a grid tie inverter, we'd need to:1.) sign an interconnection agreement, 2.)"

Automatic sprinkler systems are intended and designed as primary fire protection as they offer life safety to occupants and provide building protection. A dual agent system provides the highest level of protection for mission critical facilities. Automatic sprinklers are required in all compartments of completely sprinklered buildings as defined in NFPA 13. Preaction systems are specialized sprinkler systems that provide security against accidental water damage by using supervisory air or nitrogen pressure in the piping instead of water. When used in combination with sprinkler systems, clean agent systems are designed to serve as initial fire protection with the intent of extinguishing the fire, thereby reducing the potential for sprinkler discharge, and thus minimizing damage to the electronic equipment. The FIREFLEX ® DUAL provides an integrated solution for dual agent applications. FEATURES- Simple and quick installation thereby reducing costs- Compact factory assembled and tested systems- Lockable doors to avoid unauthorized handling- Clean agent safe for occupants- Environmentally safe long-term solution- Available in multiple sizes- Serial number for easy reference- FM Approved as an assembled unit- c ULus Listed as an assembled unit The FIREFLEX ® DUAL system uses 3M TM Novec TM 1230 Fire Protection Fluid combined with a Viking Preaction System."

When a circuit breaker trips, it releases a cocked spring mechanism that separates the electrical contacts. Circuit breakers have two means of tripping: (1) An electromagnet that trips almost instantaneously when the current is between nine (9) and 15 times the rated current of the circuit breakers (USA),and (2) A temperature sensitive bimetal strip that bends and releases the spring mechanism at a calibrated temperature. Usually, the temperature of the bimetal strip is proportional to the amount of current passing through the circuit breaker. However, the bimetal strip will react and bend to any rise in temperature. The rise in temperature may be due to a loose wire connection, misalignment of the circuit breaker contacts, or the heat from a fire. Circuit breakers are sized to protect the integrity of the wire insulation; they are not sized to protect human life. If a circuit breaker is over loaded to a value of 135% it rated current, it must trip within one hour. If a circuit breaker is over loaded to a value of 200% it rated current, it must trip within two minutes."

"text": "Home A Primer on Fire Extinguishersby Clint Lowe On Oct 22, 2009| Share| Share| Share| Share It was at 4,500 feet on a dark night near Purcell, OK, when the rear seat passenger of a Piper Warrior noticed the seat getting warm and the smell of smoke. Very quickly, the passengers found themselves attempting to control an in-flight fire with blankets and bottled water as the pilot put the plane down on an Interstate highway. Everyone cleared the aircraft and watched the cabin section burn … there was no fire extinguisher aboard. It’s stories like that remind us of the importance of a fire extinguisher aboard an airplane. While the need for a fire extinguisher is well understood, the proper installation and maintenance of onboard fire extinguishers isn’t understood nearly as well. There’s sound reason for ensuring proper maintenance is accomplished ‘cause when you need a fire extinguisher in flight — you need it bad. It may surprise some that, for Part 91 operations, fire extinguishers aren’t a mandatory piece of equipment on most aircraft … which means without a requirement there isn’t specific guidance regarding what you should have on the aircraft for fire fighting. For the prudent pilot, this may be more of a blessing than an overlooked bit of regulation by the Feds. Without specific guidance, the FAA isn’t going to be telling you precisely what you need to carry to protect yourself from a fire, which means the average pilot should be able to afford at least a minimal amount of protection, even in rental aircraft. Does this mean the FAA doesn’t care about in-flight fire-fighting equipment?"

"text": "\"Electrical Repair Tools What Does the Term \"\"Rough-In\"\" Mean? By Lee Wallender Updated 02/14/18Share Pin Email Jetta Productions/Getty Images In the home building and remodeling trades, the term r ough in refers to the stage of construction after the basic framing is completed and the mechanical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC installations are completed, but before walls and ceilings are closed up with wallboard. This is the point at which work is reviewed by the building inspector. The absence of wall and floor coverings allows for easier modification if the rough in does not pass inspection or if the homeowner makes a change order to alter the project. Types of Rough-In For inspection purposes, each type of mechanical has its own definition of the rough-in: Electrical: A rough-in here means that all electrical cables have been pulled through studs and other framing members and are inserted into wall and ceiling boxes. But the light switches, outlets, lights, and other devices are not be attached—inspection of that aspect of the work occurs during the final inspection. Plumbing: The rough-in here means that all water supply and drain pipes have been run through bored holes in the studs and other framing members, and that all pipe connections have been made. But no sinks, faucets, or other fixtures or end elements are yet installed at this phase. How the Rough-In Fits In the Permitting Process Roughing in should be completed before the first visit from a building, electrical, or plumbing inspector. These inspections fit into the typical workflow like this: Wall, floor, and ceiling systems are built and left open."

In Traffic Signal applications, a comment is often made that the wiring to the signal head is a code violation because the green conductor is used for the green display. What does the NEC have to say about this apparent violation? Another question that is frequently asked is “where are the requirements for phase colors such as Black-Red-White for 120/240 V single phase and Brown-Orange-Yellow-Gray for 277/480 V three phase?”Authors Note: Proper terminology in the NEC is conductor, the commonly used term wire is not used in the NEC. Also, using No. or # to designate conductor size was changed in the 2002 to the correct industry term AWG. Please refer to the NEC for the complete text of the sections summarized here. The NEC only requires a few specific colors for conductors. The most obvious is the color for the grounded (neutral) conductor, found in Article 200 - Use and Identification of Grounded Conductors. This color requirement is so important that an entire article is devoted to it."

It has recessed lighting (by Lightolier) throughout. We have now had two fixtures fail in the same way. The lamps cycle on and off every few minutes. From searching the web, the likely explanation is that this is the thermal protector sensing an over-temperature condition. However, no matter how small a light we put into the socket (down to a 15 watt flourescent) the behavior is exactly the same. Thus, this seems to me more like a failure of the thermal protector rather than its normal function. These are new construction fixtures and are all in one, monolithic units, so repairing or replacing them seems very difficult.1) Has anyone else ever seen this failure mode?2) Any suggestions for repair that don't require tearing down the ceiling?

"text": "\"Home Newsroom & Insights Insights Magazine Multi-Wire Branch Circuits Multi-Wire Branch Circuits Thomas Domitrovich February 22, 2013When the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) introduced 210.4 (B) entitled \"\"Disconnecting Means,\"\" this new requirement for multi-wire branch circuits drove many questions related to the application of handle ties in the industry. This requirement has also driven more use of field applied handle ties. The application of handle ties on two one-pole circuit breakers must be performed correctly as the lack of attention to details could cause you to apply the product outside of its rating. Two one-pole circuit breakers can be tied together with an approved handle tie but you must pay close attention to the markings and listing of the products to ensure that the breakers are not applied outside of their rating. Shared Neutral Applications The shared neutral application is familiar to many electrical contractors, especially in light of copper prices these days. Sharing the neutral on the home run circuit from the breaker to the first outlet can be one way of reducing material costs. Those applications where you would have pulled two two-conductor (+ ground) wires instead are pulled with a single three-conductor (+ ground) wire. Section 210.4 of the NEC addresses multi-wire branch circuits, noting that these circuits are those where all conductors originate from the same panelboard or similar distribution equipment. An approved handle tie applied to two single-pole breakers for such applications as shared neutral installations ensures the installation meets the requirement of section 210.4 (B), “Disconnecting Means,” of NEC 2011 which states:“ (B) Disconnecting Means. Each multi-wire branch circuit shall be provided with a means that will simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors at the point where the branch circuit originates."

"text": "\"Cost Guides / By Carol Wang / January 2, 2018Budget Basics: Bath Renovation Costs in NYCBreaking down the costs of renovating a bathroom in New York City With a steady flow of inspiring Pinterest boards and design blogs, it’s easy to reimagine how your dream bathroom can become your sanctuary. Renovating even a small space, however, can involve a lot of decisions and behind-the-scenes costs. Sweeten, a free service matching homeowners with vetted general contractors, offers an overview of bathroom renovation costs. From building requirements and permits to demolition and design, this guide will help nail down your scope and better align real costs with a realistic budget. The current national average for a mid-range bathroom remodel is $18,546, with an upscale renovation average cost of $59,979, according to Remodeling’s 2017 Cost vs. Value Report. In New York City, these costs are higher: a mid-range renovation is $24,688, while an upscale one will run you $102,137. At Sweeten, we recommend budgeting at least $20,000 for a gut renovation with standard, off-the-shelf materials, fixtures, and finishes. This baseline number is for a holistic project that includes plumbing and electrical work, but no significant layout changes. COMMON MISCONCEPTIONWhile it can be tempting to apply à la carte prices to individual elements of the work, a full bathroom renovation is an integrated process that involves design, materials, installation, and plumbing. If your bathroom has one or two areas of concern, you might decide to swap out an individual fixture or two."

JS-1721Today, Treasury and the IRS finalized regulations regarding minimum distribution rules for defined benefit plans and annuity products purchased with account balances in other types of qualified retirement plans and IRAs. This completes the comprehensive update and simplification of the minimum distribution rules that began in 2000. The regulations finalized today were originally issued as proposed and temporary regulations in 2002. \"\" This is great news for participants, employers and annuity providers because they now have final rules regarding required distributions from their retirement programs,\"\" stated Gregory Jenner, Acting Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy. \"\" There is adequate flexibility in the rules to permit annuities that meet the different needs of retirees. The final rules reflect many of the comments we received from the public during the finalization process. \"\" While the final regulations retain many rules from the temporary regulations, there are numerous modifications. For example, changes are included to address concerns of defined benefit plan sponsors and annuity issuers to provide more flexibility in annuity payment terms. The regulations also generally grandfather governmental plan provisions that were in effect when the temporary regulations were published."

"text": "« Back The ERISA Litigation Newsletter Newsletter August 2011Editor’s Overview This month, we feature two articles that discuss the accrual of statutes of limitations for ERISA claims, providing practical insight into reliance on the statutes to bar plaintiffs’ claims. The first article discusses the Seventh Circuit’s recent decision in Thompson v. Retirement Plan for Employees of S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc., addressing the accrual of claims for benefits. The second article provides an overview of varying approaches among the Courts of Appeals regarding statutes of limitations applicable to breach of fiduciary duty claims. As always, be sure to review the section on Rulings, Filings, and Settlements of Interest. The section includes a summary of a decision that will be discussed in depth in next month’s Newsletter: Bacon v. Stiefel Laboratories, Inc., 09-cv-21871-JLK, 2011 WL 2973677 (S. D. Fla. July 21, 2011), which denied certification of class claims alleging fraudulent misrepresentations in connection with the merger of an ESOP and 401 (k) plan because individual reliance determinations would be required. Seventh Circuit Confirms that Receipt of Benefit Distribution Can Trigger Statute of Limitations; Also Precludes Deference to Plan Administrator Where No Discretion Exercised [1]Contributed by Amy R. Covert The Seventh Circuit recently addressed two significant issues in Thompson v. Retirement Plan for Employees of S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. [2] First, the Court held that a lump sum benefit payment can trigger the statute of limitations. In so ruling, the Court clarified that its prior ruling in Young v. Verizon, [3] that the statute of limitations did not begin to run until the plaintiff’s formal claim for benefits was denied, was confined to the facts of that case. The Court also held that plan fiduciaries are entitled to no deference where they have exercised no discretion in interpreting the terms of the plan. The statute of limitations ruling provides significant guidance on when a claim accrues, for statute of limitations purposes, which in turn depends on when a claim for benefits is deemed “repudiated.” The deference ruling indicates that there are limitations on when the administrative process can serve as a vehicle for limiting judicial scrutiny of plan determinations."

For government pensions, see Public Employee Pension Plans (United States). A retirement plan is a financial arrangement designed to replace employment income upon retirement. These plans may be set up by employers, insurance companies, trade unions, the government, or other institutions. Congress has expressed a desire to encourage responsible retirement planning by granting favorable tax treatment to a wide variety of plans. Federal tax aspects of retirement plans in the United States are based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the plans are regulated by the Department of Labor under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

In a defined benefit (or pension) plan, benefits are calculated using a fixed formula that typically factors in final pay and service with an employer, and payments are made from a trust fund specifically dedicated to the plan. Separate accounts for each participant do not exist. By contrast, in a defined contribution plan, each participant has an account, and the benefit for the participant is dependent upon both the amount of money contributed into the account and the performance of the investments purchased with the funds contributed to the account."

Prior to the 1870s private-sector plans did not exist, primarily because most companies were small family-run enterprises.1921 -- The Revenue Act of 1921 exempted interest income on trusts for stock bonus or profit-sharing plans from current taxation. Trust income was taxed as it was distributed to employees only to the extent that it exceeded employees' own contributions. The act did not authorize deductions for past service contributions.1926 -- The Revenue Act of 1926 exempted income of pension trusts from current taxation.1928 -- The Revenue Act of 1928 allowed employers to take tax deductions for reasonable amounts paid into a qualified trust in excess of the amounts required to fund current liabilities. The act changed the taxation of trust distributions that are attributable to employer contributions and earnings.1875-1929 -- 421 private-sector pension plans were established in the United States and Canada, and 28 were discontinued during that period. By 1929, 397 private-sector plans were in operation in the United States and Canada. Some major U. S companies that established plans prior to 1930 are: Standard Oil of New Jersey (1903); U. S. Steel Corp. (1911); General Electric Co. (1912); American Telephone and Telegraph Co. (1913); Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., (1915); Bethlehem Steel Co. (1923); American Can Co. (1924); and Eastman Kodak Co. (1929).1935 -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act.1938 -- The Revenue Act of 1938 established the nondiversion rule and made pension trusts irrevocable.1940 -- 4.1 million private-sector workers (15 percent of all private-sector workers) were covered by a pension plan.1940 -- The Investment Advisors Act of 1940 required delegation of investment responsibilities only to an adviser registered under the act or to a bank or an insurance company.1942 -- The Revenue Act of 1942 tightened coverage standard qualifications, limited allowable deductions, and allowed integration with Social Security.1946 -- The United Steelworkers of America made pensions an issue in their strike against Inland Steel. At this time, the National Labor Relations Act did not cover pensions. Steelworkers Local 1010 in Indiana Harbor took the issue to the National Labor Relations Board.1947 -- Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 (LMRA or \"\"Taft-Hartley\"\" Act) provided fundamental guidelines for the establishment and operation of pension plans administered jointly by an employer and a union.1948 -- The National Labor Relations Board ruled that Congress intended pensions to be part of wages and that they fell under \"\"conditions of employment\"\" mentioned in the act, although this was not specifically defined.1950 -- General Motors (GM) established a pension plan for its employees. GM wanted to self-fund their pension plan because they wanted to invest in stocks."

"text": "\"Defined Benefit Plans What is a Defined Benefit Plan? Defined benefit plans are retirement plans that can offer substantial tax deductible retirement contributions and significant future retirement income to the self employed and small business owners. For those that qualify, a defined benefit plan may allow significantly larger contributions compared to an Individual 401k or SEP IRA. Compared to an Individual 401k or SEP IRA, a defined benefit plan is more expensive administratively, but for the business owner who has a goal of maximizing their retirement contributions and is looking for a way to quickly increase their accumulated retirement assets, a defined benefit pension plan can be an ideal retirement plan solution. Within IRS limits, contributions into a defined benefit pension plan are 100% tax deductible. How does a Defined Benefit Plan work? A defined benefit plan is a qualified retirement plan in which annual contributions are made to fund a chosen level of retirement income at a predetermined future retirement date. Contributions are made according to an actuarial formula to meet the target retirement income benefit. In 2015, the annual benefit payable at retirement can be as high as $210,000 per year. As a result, annual contributions into a defined benefit plan can be even larger than $210,000 in some cases in order to meet that level of retirement income target."

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Qualified Domestic Relations Order - QDRO 'A qualified domestic relations order is a type of court order typically found in a divorce agreement that recognizes that the ex-spouse is entitled to receive a predefined portion of the individual's retirement plan. In most cases, the qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) allots 50 percent of the value of the assets gained from the beginning of the marriage to the time of the divorce to the ex-spouse. Next Up Qualified Retirement Plan Payee Target-Benefit Plan Court Order Acceptable For Processing ... BREAKING DOWN 'Qualified Domestic Relations Order - QDRO 'When the distribution goes to the ex-spouse, the ex-spouse becomes responsible for any taxes incurred when the money is distributed. However, if the individual does not receive a QDRO and decides to distribute the retirement-plan assets to his or her ex-spouse, the individual will still be responsible for the taxes on the ex-spouse's portion of the money, even though he or she no longer possesses it. Retirement benefits from more than one retirement benefit plan can be subject to a QDRO if it clearly states the benefits that are assigned to the ex-spouse. Limitations of a QDROAccording to the U. S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration, rules restrict certain provisions being included in a QDRO. The court order cannot force a retirement plan to give out any benefit or option that is not provided through the plan. The QDRO cannot require increased benefits from the retirement plan. Benefits cannot be required from a plan for an alternate payee when those benefits are already required be covered by another payee who is under the decree of another QDRO. A benefits plan cannot be required to cover benefits that are a qualified joint and survivor annuity for the ex-spouse and their successive spouses."

This article discusses what a DROP plan does, what the attraction of a DROP plan is from the perspective of both the employer and the plan member, and the legal and actuarial issues raised by DROP plans. Contents What is a DROP Plan? Why Would An Employer Consider a DROP? Why Do Employees Like DROP? Cost Considerations of Plan Design Legal Issues Conclusions What is a DROP Plan? In its simplest terms, a DROP plan is an arrangement under which an employee who would otherwise be entitled to retire and receive benefits under an employer’s defined benefit 1 retirement plan instead continues working. However, instead of having the continued compensation and additional years of service taken into account for purposes of the defined benefit plan formula, the employee has a sum of money credited during each year of the continued employment to a separate account under the employer’s retirement plan. The account earns interest (either at a rate stated in the plan, or based on the earnings of the trust underlying the retirement plan)."

"text": "See All Publications Repeal of DOMA Leaves Employers Questioning the Impact on Employee Benefit Plans Hinckley Allen Employee Benefits Alert September 23, 2013By: Tracy A. Vitols, Donna M. Niles The recent repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) results in significant changes to employer-sponsored benefit plans. The purpose of this update is to inform employers of their obligations relating to their employee benefits plans and also to identify next steps to ensure compliance with this change in the law. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE LAWWhat is DOMA? The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was enacted in 1996 for the purpose of denying benefits to same-sex couples even if they are married by a state. DOMA defined “marriage” as a legal union between one man and one woman and further defined “spouse” as a person of the opposite sex. DOMA also provided that these definitions would apply to any act of Congress, or to any ruling, regulation, or interpretation by the various administrative bureaus and agencies in the United States. It was clear from the statute that for all purposes under federal law, only opposite-sex marriages would be recognized – at least until the Windsor decision. What is current federal law? On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court declared that DOMA was unconstitutional and that legally married same-sex couples were entitled to federal benefits. In United States v. Windsor, the Court held that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional, as it violated equal protection rights."

"title": "https://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/eb_lf_irs_dol_issueguidancedeferredannuities_19nov14\nIRS and DOL Issue Guidance on Including Deferred Annuities in Target Date Funds",
"text": "Guidance addresses nondiscrimination, qualified default investment alternative, and annuity safe harbor rules. On October 24, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U. S. Department of Labor (DOL) each issued guidance on defined contribution plans offering target date funds (TDFs) that include deferred annuities as a part of the TDFs’ allocation to fixed income investments. The IRS published IRS Notice 2014-66 (Notice), [1] which outlines the circumstances under which TDFs can restrict participation in each TDF in the series to designated age-bands in order to invest in deferred annuities without violating Internal Revenue Code (the Code) nondiscrimination rules. The DOL issued a related information letter (DOL Information Letter), addressed to J. Mark Iwry, a Senior Advisor at the Department of the Treasury, [2] to clarify how such arrangements can obtain the safe harbor protection afforded to qualified default investment alternatives (QDIAs) and the selection of annuities. Together, these two pieces of guidance make it clear that plans can offer, as both default and participant-elected investment options, TDFs that distribute annuities. Both sets of guidance are part of broader IRS and DOL initiatives to support the offering of lifetime income features in defined contribution plans to retirees. Background The Notice and the DOL Information Letter both address the offering of TDFs investment options in defined contribution plans when the TDFs include among their assets deferred annuities. In the facts set forth in this guidance, a single investment manager oversees a series of TDFs and manages each individual TDF in the series in a manner appropriate for the designated age group. In order to provide income over the lifetime of the retiree, the TDF is designed to increasingly invest in deferred annuities as the TDF reaches its target retirement date and investors in the TDF get older. When the TDF reaches its target date, annuity certificates are then distributed to participants and begin payment at retirement."

The section of the Internal Revenue Code that made such 401 (k) plans possible was enacted into law in 1978. [ 5] It was intended to allow taxpayers a break on taxes on deferred income. In 1980, a benefits consultant and attorney named Ted Benna took note of the previously obscure provision and figured out that it could be used to create a simple, tax-advantaged way to save for retirement.

"text": "\"What is ERISA? The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, protects the assets of millions of Americans so that funds placed in retirement plans during their working lives will be there when they retire. ERISA is a federal law that sets minimum standards for retirement plans in private industry. For example, if your employer maintains a retirement plan, ERISA specifies when you must be allowed to become a participant, how long you have to work before you have a non-forfeitable interest in your benefit, how long you can be away from your job before it might affect your benefit, and whether your spouse has a right to part of your benefit in the event of your death. Most of the provisions of ERISA are effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1975. ERISA does not require any employer to establish a retirement plan. It only requires that those who establish plans must meet certain minimum standards. The law generally does not specify how much money a participant must be paid as a benefit. ERISA does the following: Requires plans to provide participants with information about the plan including important information about plan features and funding. The plan must furnish some information regularly and automatically."

Every Michigan employer who is required to withhold federal income tax under the Internal Revenue Code must be registered for and withhold Michigan income tax. What is Michigan’s 2018 payroll withholding tax rate? The tax rate for 2018 is 4.25%. What is Michigan’s 2018 personal exemption amount? The personal exemption rate for 2018 is $4,050. Where can I get more information about Michigan income tax? Form 446, Income Tax Withholding Guide."

"text": "FAQFrequently Asked Questions What is a QDRO? A Qualified Domestic Relations Order is an order entered by family court that assigns to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent the right to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable to a participant under a qualified retirement plan. IRC Section 414 (p) (1); ERISA Section 206 (d) (3) (B). The family court order must be a judgment, decree or order entered pursuant to the state’s domestic relations laws which relates to the provision of child support, alimony or the division of property to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the participant. Why is there such a thing as a QDRO? A QDRO is the creation of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984. Before QDROs, there was confusion over whether a former spouse should be considered a creditor. Retirement Plans are subject to anti-alienation rules that protect the retirement benefits from creditors, and have special tax-deferred status which can be lost if the Plan does not follow strict rules regarding contributions and distributions. Many plans would not honor a divorce decree that awarded a portion of the retirement benefits to the non-employee spouse, because they risked losing their qualified status, which provides special tax deferred status to all of the participants, if they violated the anti-alienation rules by making distributions to creditor/ spouses. ERISA made an exception to the anti-alienation rules to permit distributions to be made pursuant to QDROs."

"text": "\"Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Pension Plan'A pension plan is a retirement plan that requires an employer to make contributions into a pool of funds set aside for a worker's future benefit. The pool of funds is invested on the employee's behalf, and the earnings on the investments generate income to the worker upon retirement. In addition to an employer's required contributions, some pension plans have a voluntary investment component. A pension plan may allow a worker to contribute part of his current income from wages into an investment plan to help fund retirement. The employer may also match a portion of the worker’s annual contributions, up to a specific percentage or dollar amount. Next Up Advanced Funded Pension Plan Cash Balance Pension Plan Money-Purchase Pension Plan Pension Protection Act Of 2006 ... BREAKING DOWN 'Pension Plan'There are two main types of pension plans. In a defined-benefit plan, the employer guarantees that the employee receives a definite amount of benefit upon retirement, regardless of the performance of the underlying investment pool. The employer is liable for a specific flow of pension payments to the retiree (the dollar amount is determined by a formula, usually based on earnings and years of service), and if the assets in the pension plan are not sufficient to pay the benefits, the company is liable for the remainder of the payment. American employer-sponsored pension plans date from the 1870s, and at their height, in the 1980s, they covered nearly half of all private sector workers. About 90% of public employees, and roughly 10% of private employees, in the U. S are covered by a defined-benefit plan today."

"text": "Proposed IRS Regulations on Partial Lump Sum Pensions Require Comparison With Plans’ Benefit Calculation Methods February 21, 2012Stephen Pavlick Alan D. Nesburg Summary Under some defined benefit plans, participants receive a portion of the benefit as an annuity and a portion as a lump sum. Sponsors of such plans should review the method used for calculating these benefits, particularly annuity benefits, to determine whether the combined value of both portions meets the minimum present value requirements for lump sums. Recent proposed IRS regulations include an interpretation of current law that may differ from the way some plans have been administered. In Depth On February 2, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued proposed regulations addressing the minimum present value requirements under Internal Revenue Code (Code) section 417 (e) for defined benefit pension plans under which participants receive divided payments, typically a lump sum together with an annuity. If a participant can receive both a lump sum and an annuity, these proposed regulations aim to simplify and encourage the participant’s choice of annuity benefits. Notably, the preamble summary of current law concludes both parts of a divided pension benefit are treated as a single benefit subject to the same minimum present value requirements as lump sums. The proposal would create a limited exception, which becomes available only after the regulations take effect. If a plan satisfies the limited exception, the minimum present value requirements for lump sums would not apply to annuity benefits. At this time, because of the proposal’s key conclusion that both parts of a divided pension benefit are subject to minimum present value requirements, defined benefit plans offering divided benefits should be reviewed and compared with this interpretation of current law.

Risk management includes not only managing identified risks but also the residual and secondary risks. Residual Risk Residual risk is the risk that remains after a risk response has been taken. The degree of risk tolerance should be considered to ensure that the amount of residual risk is acceptable. If not, additional risk actions may need to be taken to try and further reduce the risk. Secondary Risk A secondary risk is a risk that arises as the result of implementing a risk response. If the risk response was not taken, the secondary risk would not exist."

This fact probably partly explains the public's inaccurate perception of the hazard they represent, and the low level of appreciation of the benefits they bring. This paper explores and analyses the many benefits of using pesticides, in order to inform a more balanced view. It does not attempt to quantify or rank these benefits, nor to weigh them against any negative consequences of pesticide use. Twenty-six primary benefits are identified that are immediate and incontrovertible, and 31 secondary benefits that are longer term, less intuitive and for which it is harder to establish causality. These benefits include increased crop and livestock yields, improved food safety, human health, quality of life and longevity, and reduced drudgery, energy use and environmental degradation. A complex matrix of benefit interactions are explored for a range of beneficiaries at three main levels—local, national and global, and in three main domains—social, economic and environmental. Previous article Next article Keywords Pesticide Application Effect Primary benefit Secondary benefit Risk Beneficiary Agriculture Public health Economy Pests Diseases1. Introduction The hazards of pesticides are well documented, but their benefits are largely ignored in published literature and the mass media. A recent brief poll of pesticide-related articles in published literature, conducted by the authors, revealed a ratio of over 40 negative articles for each one that took a more positive view."

But this week it's our explicit focus, so I'm entitled to spend some time on the subject. Levels of protein structure We can describe protein structure in terms of four levels of organization:primary structure , i.e. the linear sequence of peptide units that make up the protein chain, together with the covalent disulfide bond linkages within a chain or between chains;secondary structure , i.e. the main-chain hydrogen-bonding patterns that define a short-range order to the protein;tertiary structure , overall fold and topology of a single polypeptide chain;quaternary structure , the ways that multiple polypeptide chains fit together to form a single functional unit. Many proteins consist of only a single polypeptide chain, so in effect they have no quaternary structure. Some fibrous proteins have such a uniform hydrogen-bonding pattern that we can describe them entirely in terms of secondary structure; for these proteins the secondary structure subsumes the tertiary structure. Other proteins and peptides, especially short ones, are floppy enough in solution that they cannot be said to have a stable secondary or tertiary structure at all. We should say a word or two more about disulfides. As we discussed on Tuesday, these are covalent linkages between the sulfur atoms in the side-chains of cysteine residues. The cysteine residues that make up the disulfides may be only a few residues apart in the linear sequence, or they may be hundreds of amino acids apart from one another. Sometimes they in fact form between separate polypeptide chains."

A protein domain is a conserved part of a given protein sequence and (tertiary) structure that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. Each domain forms a compact three-dimensional structure and often can be independently stable and folded. Many proteins consist of several structural domains. One domain may appear in a variety of different proteins. Molecular evolution uses domains as building blocks and these may be recombined in different arrangements to create proteins with different functions. Domains vary in length from between about 25 amino acids up to 500 amino acids in length [ citation needed]. The shortest domains, such as zinc fingers, are stabilized by metal ions or disulfide bridges. Domains often form functional units, such as the calcium-binding EF hand domain of calmodulin.

Description: The goal of calibration is to quantitatively convert measurements made on one of two measurement scales to the other measurement scale. There is also a model that describes the relationship between the two measurement scales. The primary measurement scale is usually the scientifically relevant scale and measurements on this scale are typically more precise (relatively) than measurements on the secondary scale. However, the secondary scale is typically the easier measurement to obtain (i.e., it is typically cheaper or faster or more readily available). So given a measurement on the secondary scale, we want to convert that to an estimate of the measurement on the primary scale. The steps involved are: We start with a series of points that have been measured on both scales. The secondary measurement is treated as the response variable, Y, and the primary measurement is treated as the independent variable, X . We perform a fit of Y and X. Currently, Dataplot supports calibration for the case where Y and X can be fit with either a linear fit Y = A 0 + A 1 * Xor a quadratic fit Y = A 0 + Y = A 0 + A 2 X 2This is typically referred to as the calibration curve.

"text": "\"Protein Tertiary Structure Although fibrous proteins generally have only one type of secondary structure, globular proteins can incorporate several types of secondary structure in the same molecule. Globular proteins-including enzymes, transport proteins, some peptide hormones, and immunoglobulins-are folded structures much more compact than α or β conformations (as shown for serum albumin in Figure 7-17). The three-dimensional arrangement of all atoms in a protein is referred to as the tertiary structure, and this now becomes our focus. Whereas the secondary structure of polypeptide chains is determined by the short-range structural relationship of amino acid residues, tertiary structure is conferred by longer-range aspects of amino acid sequence. Amino acids that are far apart in the polypeptide sequence and reside in different types of secondary structure may interact when the protein is folded. The formation of bends in the polypeptide chain during folding and the direction and angle of these bends are determined by the number and location of specific bend-producing amino acids, such as Pro, Thr, Ser, and Gly residues. Moreover, loops of the highly folded polypeptide chain are held in their characteristic tertiary positions by different kinds of weak-bonding interactions (and sometimes by covalent bonds such as disulfide cross-links) between R groups of adjacent loops. We will now consider how secondary structures contribute to the tertiary folding of a polypeptide chain in a globular protein, and how this structure is stabilized by weak interactions, in particular by hydrophobic interactions involving nonpolar amino acid side chains in the tightly packed core of the protein. X-Ray Analysis of Myoglobin R.evealed Its Tertiary Structure The breakthrough in understanding globular protein structure came from x-ray diffraction studies of the protein myoglobin carried out by John Kendrew and his colleagues in the 1950s (Box 7-3).

Nanninga, in Encyclopedia of Microbiology (Third Edition), 2009Archaeal Flagella Archaeal flagella, as studied in the extreme halophile Halobacterium salinarium, are quite different from those of bacteria. They have smaller dimensions than their bacterial equivalents and their axial filaments contain different proteins. The diameter of archaeal flagella is about 10 nm, whereas it is 24 nm for the bacterial organelles ( Figure 8 ). Another difference is that their proteins are often glycosylated. Presumably, this is related to the requirement to sustain extreme growth conditions, be it high salinity or high temperature. Note that probably for the same reason, S-layers of archaea are also glycosylated. The architecture of archaeal flagella bears resemblance to that of type IV pili ( Figure 9 ). Likewise, the N-termini of archaeal flagellin and bacterial pilin show significant homology. Knowledge about archaeal flagella is emerging slowly.

HEAT TREATMENTIntroduction Critical Temperature Controlled Shakeout Austenitizing Annealing Normalizing Quench Hardening Hardenability TTT Diagrams Quenching Media Tempering Normalize and Temper Quench and Temper Temper Embrittlement Secondary Graphite Surface Hardening Residual Stresses Stress Relief Scaling, Growth and Distortion References Introduction One reason for the phenomenal growth in the use of Ductile Iron castings is the high ratio of performance to cost that they offer the designer and end user. This high value results from many factors, one of which is the control of microstructure and properties that can be achieved in the as-cast condition, enabling a high percentage of ferritic and pearlitic Ductile Iron castings to be produced without the extra cost of heat treatment. To obtain the advantage of producing high quality castings as-cast requires the use of consistent charge materials and the implementation of consistent and effective practices for melting, holding, treating, inoculation and cooling in the mold. By following these practices, especially the use of high purity charges and good inoculation, castings can be produced as-cast essentially free of carbides and with pearlite contents less than 10%, in section sizes as low as 0.150 in. ( 3.8 mm). However heat treatment is a valuable and versatile tool for extending both the consistency and range of properties of Ductile Iron castings beyond the limits of those produced in the as-cast condition. Thus, to fully utilize the potential of Ductile Iron castings, the designer should be aware of the wide range of heat treatments available for Ductile Iron, and its response to these heat treatments. Ductile Iron castings may be heat treated to:increase toughness and ductility,increase strength and wear resistance,increase corrosion resistance,stabilize the microstructure, to minimize growth,equalize properties in castings with widely varying section sizes,improve consistency of properties,improve machinability, andrelieve internal stresses. This Section deals with heat treating conventional Ductile Iron."

Like the other amino acids cysteine is abundant as L-form. It is genetically encoded by two possible codons (nucleotide triplets of m RNA) UGU and UGC. Structurally cysteine belongs to the sulfur amino acids, because of sulfur atom appearing in its side chain. The sulfur atom of cysteine is involved in formation the sulfhydryl group which is very reactive. That differs cysteine from another sulfur amino acid - methionine which has a methyl group attached to the sulfur. Thus methionine is more hydrophobic, sterically larger and much less reactive than cysteine. Cysteine can be easily oxidized to form a dimer containing disulfide bridge between two cysteines."

"text": "Proteins are the largest and most varied class of biological molecules, and they show the greatest variety of structures. Many have intricate three-dimensional folding patterns that result in a compact form, but others do not fold up at all (“natively unstructured proteins”) and exist in random conformations. The function of proteins depends on their structure, and defining the structure of individual proteins is a large part of modern Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. To understand how proteins fold, we will start with the basics of structure, and progress through to structures of increasing complexity. Peptide Bonds To make a protein, amino acids are connected together by a type of amide bond called a “peptide bond”. This bond is formed between the alpha amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another in a condensation reaction. When two amino acids join, the result is called a dipeptide, three gives a tripeptide, etc. Multiple amino acids result in a polypeptide (often shortened to “peptide”). Because water is lost in the course of creating the peptide bond, individual amino acids are referred to as “amino acid residues” once they are incorporated. Another property of peptides is polarity: the two ends are different."

Normally, EPO levels vary inversely with hematocrit. Hypoxia stimulates EPO release, which, in turn, stimulates bone marrow erythrocyte production. High blood levels of RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, or oxygen suppress the release of EPO. Primary polycythemia (polycythemia vera) is a neoplastic (clonal) blood disorder characterized by autonomous production of hematopoietic cells. Increased erythrocytes result in compensatory suppression of EPO levels. Findings consistent with polycythemia vera include hemoglobin >18.5 gm/d L, persistent leukocytosis, persistent thrombocytosis, unusual thrombosis, splenomegaly, and erythromelalgia (dysesthesia and erythema involving the distal extremities). Secondary polycythemias may either be due to an appropriate or an inappropriate increase in red cell mass. Appropriate secondary polycythemias (eg, high-altitude living and pulmonary disease) are characterized by hypoxia and a compensatory increase in red cell mass. EPO production is increased in an attempt to increase the delivery of oxygen by increasing the number of oxygen-carrying RBCs."

[ 1] GFP converts the blue chemiluminescent of aequorin in the jellyfish into green fluorescent light. [ 2] It remains unclear why these jellyfish use fluorescence, why green is better than blue, or why they produce a separate protein for green fluorescence as opposed to simply mutating the present aequorin to shift its wavelength, [3] but in the laboratory, GFP can be incorporated into a variety of biological systems in order to function as a marker protein. Since its discovery in 1962, GFP has come to play a significant role in research as a tool to monitor gene expression, cellular localization, protein mobility, intracellular trafficking, and interactions between various membrane and cytoplasmic proteins, as well as many others. See also Green Fluorescent Protein: Research Tool. [ 4]Colored & Bioluminescent Protein In Hebrew: GFP (Hebrew) and Gfp vc2 . History Aequorea victoria was first discovered and investigated for its bioluminescence by Frank Johnson, who invited Osamu Shimomura to work with him in on a small island not far from British Columbia, where the jellyfish is abundant. [ 5] Found off the west coast of the United States between British Columbia and central California, [6] the jellyfish was considered a local phenomenon as it would drift in and out of the harbors. [ 5]Mice with GFP inserted into their genomes for neurology studies. Shimomura was originally looking only to isolate the blue luminescent protein of Aequorea victoria, traditionally thought to be luciferase, but it would soon become apparent that the glow was in fact due to aequorin, a substance related, but slightly varying from luciferase.

Share Email Feedback Sections Practice Essentials Radiography Computed Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging Ultrasonography Angiography Show All Media Gallery References Practice Essentials Thoracic outlet syndromes (TOSs) are caused by compression of the neurovascular structures passing through the thoracic outlet (see the images below). Various examination techniques can be used to distinguish among the etiologies of the types of thoracic outlet syndrome. Ultrasonography is readily available and relatively inexpensive, and it can be performed in both arterial and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria recommendations suggest that CT and MR angiography or venography are both appropriate in establishing the diagnosis of TOS. [ 1] CT and MRI are typically performed as 2-step procedures (neutral position and arm abduction) to reproduce the vascular compression seen on provocative maneuvers. CT angiography or venography provides superior analysis of the vasculature in relation to the bony structures, whereas MR angiography or venography is more efficient in the depiction of accessory muscles, muscle hypertrophy, and fibrous bands [ 2]. Angiography and venography remain the criterion standards for the radiologic diagnosis of these conditions, and they have the added benefit of enabling potential endovascular treatment. [ 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]The findings of the Allen maneuver, the hyperabduction maneuver, are considered positive when the radial pulse disappears during extreme abduction of the arm. This finding, however, is also present in individuals who do not have thoracic outlet syndrome and in individuals with asymptomatic cervical ribs; therefore, this finding is not diagnostic. A positive Adson finding occurs when the radial pulse is reduced or disappears or when the blood pressure changes with the patient (1) in a sitting position, (2) holding a deep inspiration, (3) fully extending the neck, or (4) turning the head toward the ipsilateral and contralateral sides. Some investigators believe that the cause of these findings is compression by the anterior scalene muscle."

"text": "Ventilation & Perfusion Ventilation Ventilation, breathing, and external respiration all mean the same thing; the movement of air into and out of the lungs. This movement occurs because of a pressure gradient ( ventilation block arrow) between the atmospheric air ( Patm) and alveolar air ( Pa ). The direction ( arrow is double-headed) of the pressure gradient alternates; when alveolar pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure exhalation occurs, when alveolar pressure is lower then inhalation occurs. Alveolar pressure ( Pa) is controlled by the activity of the diaphragm. When the diaphragm contracts the alveolar pressure is reduced--an inverse relationship represented by the dashed arrow. The respiratory bronchioles ( neck of the flask) contain smooth muscle tissue that narrows the diameter of these air passages as it contracts-- bronchoconstriction. As these muscles relax, bronchodilation ( BCL) occurs. Air flows through the air passages with less resistance when these vessels are wider. It is the local concentration of carbon dioxide ( CO 2) that controls these smooth muscles. There is a direct relationship ( solid arrow) between the concentration of carbon dioxide in the bronchioles and the extent of their bronchodilation ( BDL )."

D. ‡Article Figures/Media37 References 145 Citing Articles RECENTLY, we have encountered a series of patients with severe metabolic acidosis and serum p H values less than 7.0. Although such severe acidosis is widely regarded as leading rapidly to delirium and unconsciousness, only some of these patients were in coma; the others were awake and alert. In the awake and alert patients, the p H of the cerebrospinal fluid was normal or near to it, but in those in coma, it lay in the far acid range. These observations combined with some previously made on patients with respiratory acidosis 1 have led to the postulate that acidosis in the cerebrospinal fluid is more deleterious to brain function than acidosis in the blood. If that hypothesis is true, such an association would explain a number of otherwise puzzling clinical aspects of acute disturbances of acid–base balance. 2Methods This report concerns 7 patients with acute acid–base disorders studied on the medical and neurologic wards of the King County Hospital, Seattle, Washington, and the New York Hospital, New York City. Control data Were obtained from hospitalized patients without apparent systemic acid–base disorders. Each patient was studied soon after admission, before therapy had been initiated, and repeatedly during treatment. Each time acid–base studies were performed, a detailed neurologic examination was done, with particular attention to the mental status, the rate and depth of breathing and the presence or absence of asterixis (flapping tremor) and myoclonus. After the neurologic examination, a lumbar puncture was performed with the patient in the lateral recumbent position."

"text": "\"Airway Anatomy and Physiology (Clinical Essentials) (Paramedic Care) Part 4Pediatrics Although there are significant differences between adult and pediatric patients—which are reflected in some changes in practice and equipment—the fundamental anatomy and physiology are the same. The same structures exist in both the adult and the pediatric airway and the ultimate purpose— exchange of respiratory gasses—remains the same. Therefore, with the previous discussion of adult anatomy and physiology in mind, this section will focus on the major differences between adult and pediatric patients. Pediatric Anatomy The most important differences between pediatric and adult airway anatomy are those of size and proportions. One of the most challenging differences between adult and pediatric airway management is that pediatric patients are simply smaller. Smaller spaces, smaller patients, and a requirement for more precision in action all combine to make the management of these patients potentially more difficult. The relative proportions of various structures are also important. These different proportions result in differences in management and technique between adult and pediatric patients. However, these differences do not necessarily make pediatric airway management more difficult; it is simply different. For the experienced Paramedic, the pediatric airway may be easier to manage than the adult airway; the key is the degree of familiarity with the structures, proportions, and equipment."

This customer will need a respirator mask and filters to protect against both. We will look at what combinations do that: I am looking for a respirator and respirator cartridges to protect me while I apply a bleach solution to my entire attic to kill mold. What would be the correct combination of mask and filters for that application? This poses an interesting question. In looking at a mask and filters, we need to find a combination that protects you both from the bleach vapors, and also from the spores of the growing mold. First let’s look at respirator masks. When using chlorine bleach, we want to use a full face respirator (vs. half mask) since bleach can affect all mucous membranes. This means that bleach will affect the eyes and nose, especially in close quarters with poor ventilation, like in an attic. For the full face mask, I recommend the 6800 Full Facepiece Respirator Mask by 3M. It is comfortable, seals well, and offers great protection for the price point."

A vast array of ventilator modes and mode options exist, and claims of what works and what does not abound.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Exterior of an inpatient hospice unit Hospice care in the United States is a type and philosophy of end-of-life care which focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature. The concept of hospice as a place to treat the incurably ill has been evolving since the 11th century. Hospice care was introduced to the United States in the 1970s in response to the work of Cicely Saunders in the United Kingdom. This part of health care has expanded as people face a variety of issues with terminal illness. In the United States, it is distinguished by extensive use of volunteers and a greater emphasis on the patient's psychological needs in coming to terms with dying. Under hospice, medical and social services are supplied to patients and their families by an interdisciplinary team of professional providers and volunteers, who take a patient-directed approach to managing illness. Generally, treatment is not diagnostic or curative, although the patient may choose some treatment options intended to prolong life, such as CPR. Most hospice services are covered by Medicare or other providers, and many hospices can provide access to charitable resources for patients lacking such coverage. With practices largely defined by the Medicare system, a social insurance program in the United States, and other health insurance providers, hospice care is made available in the United States to patients of any age with any terminal prognosis who are medically certified to have less than six months to live."

As part of Think Advisor’s Special Report, 21 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 201 4, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Professional Networks sister service,Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format. Are premiums paid for a qualified long-term care insurance contract deductible as medical expenses? Amounts paid for any qualified long-term care insurance contract or for qualified long-term care services generally are included in the definition of medical care and, thus, are eligible for income tax deduction, subject to certain limitations. Amounts paid for the medical care of a taxpayer, the taxpayer’s spouse, or the taxpayer’s dependents are deductible subject to the 10 percent adjusted gross income floor. The 10 percent floor is effective for tax years beginning after 2012, but the 7.5 percent floor remains effective for senior citizens aged 65 and older (and their spouses) through 2016. The deduction for eligible long-term care premiums that are paid during any taxable year for a qualified long-term care insurance contract as defined in IRC Section 7702B (b) is subject to an additional dollar amount limit that increases with the age of the insured individual. In 2014, for person’s age forty or less, the limit is $370. For ages forty-one through fifty, the limit is $700. For ages fifty-one through sixty, the limit is $1,400."

Why is the government using the term ‘untaxed superannuation income’?

( December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Long-term care insurance ( LTC or LTCI) is an insurance product, sold in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, that helps pay for the costs associated with long-term care. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform two of the six activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, continence, transferring (getting in and out of a bed or chair), and walking. Age is not a determining factor in needing long-term care. About 70 percent of individuals over age 65 will require at least some type of long-term care services during their lifetime. [ 1] About 40% of those receiving long-term care today are between 18 and 64. Once a change of health occurs, long-term care insurance may not be available.

"text": "\"Based on the employee-employer relationship, most gifts that you give to your employees are presumed to be compensatory in nature. What this means is that unless you can show that a gift is connected with an event that's totally unrelated to your business (for example, you attend an employee's wedding), gifts to your employees are considered taxable wages for payroll tax purposes. Gifts of property are treated no differently from monetary gifts. There is an exception to the rule during the Christmas holiday season. Christmas gifts are not considered taxable wages only if the gifts are items of property having nominal value (for example, a turkey or a ham). However, this exception is limited to property and does not apply to gifts of cash, no matter how nominal. Payroll Tax Obligations for Performance-Related Awards and Prizes Employee prizes and awards are generally considered taxable wages, on the theory that you present them in return for an employee's performance or services. However, there is an exception from the general rule. There are three limited circumstances under which you may be relieved from payroll tax obligations on noncash awards: Employee achievement awards of tangible personal property that are awarded to an employee because of the employee's length of service (including retirement), productivity, or safety achievement, made under a written plan that does not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees, and which average $400 or less during the year, are not taxable wages.

It is subject to income and assets tests and is paid at the same rate as other social security pensions. At 20 March 2008, the maximum single rate of Carer Payment was $546.80 and the maximum partnered rate was $456.80 per fortnight. Income testing arrangements mean that carers who participate in the workforce may have their Carer Payment reduced when their income level reaches a prescribed level, and the payment can stop altogether if the carer earns more than the upper level of the income test."

Federal Guidelines were established and funding for a variety of things was made possible. The hope was that more children previously considered Un-Adoptable would be placed with families that may not have been able to meet their high special needs without certain supports beyond Public Education and Medicaid or State Health Insurance. Along with clear time lines for case plans, and states being responsible to provide more post adoption support additional things were taken into consideration. Children adopted from foster care will continue to receive Medicaid or State Health insurance until the age of 18 or 21, even if they are named on the parents primary health insurance. Each state also established specific guidelines for the definition of \"\"Special Needs\"\" in their own states. Special needs can include a variety of issue and it's important to remember that it is designed to help children who are the most difficult to place. In most cases an Adoption Assistance or Adoption Subsidy Agreement is made to provide for things that will help the child with their special needs."

"text": "Archived - Backgrounder: Helping Families Prosper Archived information Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available. The Government’s proposed new measures consist of the following: The Family Tax Cut, a new federal non-refundable credit of up to $2,000 for couples with children under 18, effective as of the 2014 taxation year. An enhancement of the Universal Child Care Benefit that would provide an increased benefit of $160 per month for children under the age of 6 – up from $100 per month, and a new benefit of $60 per month for children aged 6 through 17, effective January 1, 2015. The enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit would replace the existing Child Tax Credit for the 2015 and subsequent taxation years. A $1,000 increase in the maximum dollar amounts that can be claimed under the Child Care Expense Deduction, effective for the 2015 taxation year. This means that the maximum amount would increase to $8,000 from $7,000 per child under age 7, to $5,000 from $4,000 for each child aged 7 through 16 (and infirm dependent children over age 16), and to $11,000 from $10,000 for children who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. As previously announced on October 9, 2014, the Government proposes to double the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit from its current limit to $1,000 for the 2014 and subsequent tax years, and make the credit refundable for the 2015 and subsequent tax years. The Family Tax Cut Under Canada’s personal income tax system, a one-earner couple, or a two-earner couple in which one spouse earns significantly more than the other, often pays more federal personal income tax than a two-earner couple that has the same combined income, but where the spouses have equal earnings."

"text": "\"Respite Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Respite literally means a period of rest or relief. Respite care provides a caregiver temporary relief from the responsibilities of caring for individuals with chronic physical or mental disabilities. Respite care is often referred to as a gift of time. Purpose Respite was developed in response to the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Maintaining individuals in their natural homes rather than placing them in long-term care facilities was viewed as beneficial to the individual, the involved family, and society (in terms of lowered health care costs). The primary purpose of respite care is to relieve caregiver stress , thereby enabling them to continue caring for the individual with a disability. Respite care is typically provided for individuals with disorders related to aging ( dementia , frail health), terminal illnesses, chronic health issues, or developmental disabilities. More recently, children with behavior disorders have also been eligible for respite care. Respite care is usually recreational and does not include therapy or treatment for the individual with the disability. Caregivers frequently experience stress in the forms of physical fatigue , psychological distress (resentment, frustration, anxiety, guilt, depression), and disruption in relations with other family members."

Retained earnings is a permanent account that appears on a business's balance sheet under the Stockholder's Equity heading. The account balance represents the company's cumulative earnings since formation that have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. If the retained earnings account has a negative balance, it is called \"\"accumulated deficit. \"\" Knowing a company's cumulative retained earnings since formation allows you to find the company's retained earnings balance after the next reporting period. For instance, if your company has cumulative retained earnings of $300,000 and you make $160,000 in retained earnings during the present reporting period, you'll know that your new cumulative value for retained earnings is $460,000. Next period, if you make $450,000 in retained earnings, you'll have $910,000 total. In other words, since forming your company, you've made enough to \"\"keep\"\" $910,000 for the company after wages, operating expenses, dividends paid to stockholders, etc.2 Understand the relationship between a company's investors and its retained earnings. A profitable company's investors will expect a return on their investment paid in the form of dividends. However, investors also want the company to grow and become more profitable so that its share price will rise, earning the investors more money in the long run."

Chapter 18 discusses a fourth statement, the Statement of Cash Flows. Unlike the other statements, which are based on accrual accounting, the Cash Flow Statement shows the sources and uses of cash during the accounting period. As you might assume, cash comes in and cash goes out. Cash coming in is traditionally referred to as a \"\" source \"\" and cash going out is considered a \"\" use \"\". When an investor reads a financial statement, a question that they might ask is, \"\"how did the company acquire cash and what did they use the cash for?\"\" In other words, what were the sources and uses of cash? This question is answered by the cash flow statement.

Closing entries, also called closing journal entries, are entries made at the end of an accounting period to zero out all temporary accounts and transfer their balances to permanent accounts. In other words, the temporary accounts are closed or reset at the end of the year. This is commonly referred to as closing the books. Temporary accounts are income statement accounts that are used to track accounting activity during an accounting period. For example, the revenues account records the amount of revenues earned during an accounting period—not during the life of the company. We don’t want the 2015 revenue account to show 2014 revenue numbers. Permanent accounts are balance sheet accounts that track the activities that last longer than an accounting period. For example, a vehicle account is a fixed asset account that is recorded on the balance. The vehicle will provide benefits for the company in future years, so it is considered a permanent account."

"text": "\"What Is Retained Earning's Normal Balance?by Alan Li; Updated September 26, 2017Revenues are the sums that businesses receive in exchange for providing their customers with their goods and/or services, while expenses are the sums that businesses spent running their revenue-producing operations. Revenues minus expenses equal the business's net income, either the increase in its financial holdings or the decrease in the same depending on the business's performance. Net Income At the end of each period, a business sums up its revenues and expenses as its net income for that period. The business then either distributes this to the business's owners or allocates it to the retained earnings account to reinvest it into the business's operations. Dividends and similar transactions do not count as part of the business's expenses because they are not costs of running its operations. Retained Earnings Retained earnings is an equity account that represents the accumulated portions of net income that a business reinvests into its operations. It is something of a catch-all term for all of the income that a business earns but does not intend to distribute to its owners. Retained earnings is a normal equity account and has a credit balance when it is positive. Debit and Credit Debit and credit refer to the left and right sides of the accounting ledger. All accounts, including retained earnings, possess a normal, positive balance that displays as either a debit or a credit."

"text": "Income summary account July 21, 2017The income summary account is a transitional account into which all income statement revenue and expense accounts are transferred at the end of an accounting period. The net amount transferred into the income summary account equals the net profit or loss that the business incurred during the period. Thus, shifting revenue out of the income statement means debiting the revenue account for the total amount of revenue recorded in the period, and crediting the income summary account. Likewise, shifting expenses out of the income statement requires you to credit all of the expense accounts for the total amount of expenses recorded in the period, and debit the income summary account. This is the first step you would take in using the income summary account. If the resulting balance in the income summary account is a profit (which is a credit balance), then debit the income summary account for the amount of the profit and credit the retained earnings account to shift the profit into retained earnings (which is a balance sheet account). Conversely, if the resulting balance in the income summary account is a loss (which is a debit balance), then credit the income summary account for the amount of the loss and debit the retained earnings account to shift the loss into retained earnings. This is the second step you would take in using the income summary account, after which the account should have a zero balance. The following journal entries show how to use the income summary account:1.

There are two common billing models that invoice in this manner: retainer and fixed-fee. These two billing models are very different and require distinct accounting treatments. Fixed-fee billings are exactly what the name implies. Every month or on some other regular basis the client is billed a fixed amount agreed upon for services. It doesn’t matter if more or less work is done in a given month, the fee remains the same. It places responsibility on the service provider to run the project efficiently by managing hours and costs to be profitable while maintaining great service. Fixed fees are typically billed at the end of the month for work performed during that month. In this case, services are provided and the revenue is earned in advance of billing."

"text": "\"A: Retained earnings are the portion of a company's income that management retains for internal operations instead of paying it to owners in form of dividends. The statement of retained earnings, a basic financial statement under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) rules, explains changes in retained earnings over the reporting period - usually the fiscal year. Retained earnings are calculated by adding net income and subtracting dividends from the balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the period. For example: If you had $5000 when the reporting period started and at the end of the period you realized $4000 in net income and paid out $2000 in dividends, your retained earnings at the end of the period will be: Retained Earnings = Beginning Balance + Net Income – Dividends Retained Earnings = $5000 + $4000 - $2000 = $7000. Essentially, the statement of retained earnings is affected by any transaction that affects net income and dividends. So, when total dividends paid out is increased or decreased, there is a definite effect on the statement of retained earnings. Anything that affects net income, also affects the statement of retained earnings. Some transactions that affect net income include those that increase or decrease in revenue, cost of goods sold and expenses. Be investment-savvy and learn how to analyze this often overlooked information: Evaluating Retained Earnings: What Gets Kept Counts. This question was answered by Chizoba Morah."

"text": "\"Flat-Fee Arrangements May Carry Sharp Consequences By Jonathan B. Stepanian, Litigation News Associate Editor – June 20, 2012Alternative billing and fixed-fee agreements may be increasingly popular, but they may not be as simple as they seem. An Iowa attorney learned this the hard way after he refused to return a $2,500 non-refundable retainer paid by the client before the matter when it turned out the case required substantially less work than either party anticipated. Flat-Fee Agreement Not as Simple as It Sounds An Iowa criminal defense attorney entered into a fee agreement under which the client agreed to pay $225 per hour with a $2,500 retainer. The fee agreement stated that $2,500 would also be the minimum fee for the criminal defense representation. The client paid $2,500 and the attorney placed the funds into his trust account. Prepared to defend the case, the attorney entered his appearance in the criminal proceedings. Shortly after entering his appearance, however, the court dismissed the charges against the defendant at the request of the state. ( Federal authorities filed charges on the same matter, so the state dropped its case. ) The attorney did not represent the client in the federal action. Nonetheless, he subsequently withdrew the $2,500 retainer as payment for his services."

However, whenever I see a problem with different dates, accruals , prepaid expenses or unearned revenues, and they ask to prepare the reversing entries or adjusting journals or closings, I am completely lost and don't know what accounts should be used to prepare those entries. I am not an Accountant and have never worked in the closing process so I do not know if that is a factor, but please can someone explain this to me or tell me what I should do to get it once and for all. I feel like I will never understand this section!!!!! ! Thanks,Future-CPANovember 19, 2012 at 1:55 pm #382600mla1169Participant Thats a pretty tall order!

Stengths and Weaknesses of an LLCA limited liability company, or LLC, is a separate legal entity organized according to state law. The LLC does not pay federal income taxes in its capacity as such. By default, its retained earnings pass through to the owners, who report them on their personal taxes. Thus, for income tax purposes, a single-member LLC is considered a sole proprietorship, and an LLC with multiple members becomes a partnership in the Internal Revenue Service's eyes. However, the LLC owners can tap into certain tax benefits if they choose to be taxed as a corporation. Tax Rates on Profits When the IRS treats members as partners or sole proprietors, their profits are considered ordinary income, along with salaries, interest from savings accounts and other personal income. These profits are subject to tax rates up to 35 percent."

"text": "\"Using IRA Distributions to Pay Tuition and College Housing IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts), 401 (k) plans, and other retirement accounts are supposed to be used for retirement purposes, and there is a 10% penalty on early withdrawals to persons younger than 59-and-a-half years old. For instance, a person who withdraws $500 from a traditional IRA would pay taxes on having $500 of additional taxable income, plus a $50 early withdrawal penalty. Like many other tax breaks, Congress decided to add a huge number of complicated exceptions to the 10% early distribution penalty. For example, a \"\"first-time homebuyer\"\" may withdraw up to $10,000 from retirement accounts to buy his or her \"\"first\"\" home, except that a \"\"first-time homebuyer\"\" is defined as someone who has not owned a home in the past two years. Apparently, helping \"\"first-time homebuyers\"\" sounds a lot better than helping \"\"people who already bought houses but sold or abandoned them 24 months ago,\"\" akin to born-again virgins. A separate exception in Internal Revenue Code section 72 (t) (2) (E) provides that IRA distributions can be used to pay for higher education expenses and avoid the 10% early distribution penalty. Higher education expenses are broadly defined, to include college or graduate school tuition, fees, and room and board, for the taxpayer, a spouse, a child, or a grandchild. The child or grandchild does not have to be a dependent. In fact, the IRA distributions do not have to be traced to the higher education expenses and can even be made after the expenses were paid, as long as the distributions are less than the amount of the expenses for the same year. Even though \"\"higher education expenses\"\" are defined very broadly, the statute imposes an oddly strict limitation at the same time, in that the distributions can only come from IRAs and not from other types of retirement accounts in order to qualify for the education expenses exception."

The section of the Internal Revenue Code that made such 401 (k) plans possible was enacted into law in 1978. [ 5] It was intended to allow taxpayers a break on taxes on deferred income. In 1980, a benefits consultant and attorney named Ted Benna took note of the previously obscure provision and figured out that it could be used to create a simple, tax-advantaged way to save for retirement.

You must include in your income, at the time received, the fair market value of property or services you receive in bartering.

This means a $5,000 withdrawal taken by a mid-career worker in the 25 percent tax bracket would result in $1,750 in taxes and penalties. But there are a variety of ways to avoid the IRA early withdrawal penalty if you meet specific criteria: Turn age 59 1/2. Once you turn age 59 1/2, you can withdraw any amount from your IRA without having to pay the 10 percent penalty. But regular income tax will still be due on each withdrawal.

You’ll see the term “adjusted gross income (AGI)” repeated throughout your tax forms. To get your adjusted gross income, you’ll subtract from your gross income — which includes wages, dividends, alimony, capital gains and retirement distributions — certain payments you’ve made during the year, such as alimony, moving expenses, student loan interest or contributions to a traditional individual retirement account. The result — your AGI — becomes the starting point for calculating your tax bill. From there, you’ll subtract your allowable exemptions, credits and deductions to find the amount on which you’ll pay tax: That’s your taxable income. If you have to file a state tax return, it typically also will use your federal AGI as a starting point. Credits and deductions specific to your state then figure in to determine your state taxable income. Finally, AGI is the basis for many deductions and credits."

"text": "Disability income is generally not nearly as much money as you would make by working without a disability. Therefore, it is not surprising you would be concerned about income taxes further eating away at this income source. How you report disability income to the Internal Revenue Service depends primarily on who pays for the disability insurance policy. Adjusted Gross Income Defined Adjusted gross income is your total taxable income minus certain deductions. Total income includes wages, interest, dividends, alimony, business income, capital gains, retirement distributions, unemployment compensation and Social Security payments. Once total income is calculated, certain deductions are subtracted to arrive at adjusted gross income. Common deductions include educator expenses, health savings account contributions, moving expenses, certain self-employment expenses, alimony payments, individual retirement account contributions, student loan interest and tuition. Public Disability Income Social Security Disability Insurance is a program of the Social Security Administration that employees and employers pay into through mandatory tax withholdings. SSDI income is taxable if your total income exceeds $25,000 if you are single or $32,000 if you are married and filing jointly. You will need to fill out the Social Security benefits worksheet included with the instructions for filing your federal taxes to determine how much of your benefits should be included in your adjusted gross income."

January 1, 2016Photo by pavlen/i Stock Related TOPICSTax Personal Financial Planning Retirement Planning Money invested in retirement accounts reaps the benefits of tax - deferred earnings and is therefore good for tax planning purposes. But putting money into retirement accounts limits the availability of funds because they are generally subject to the Sec. 72 (t) 10% addition to tax on distributions taken before reaching age 59 ½ (as well as being included in taxable income). Your clients may want to take their money out of these accounts early, so you should know how to do that without paying the 10% tax. The exceptions to the tax on early distributions also differ depending on whether the money is withdrawn from a qualified plan or an IRA. In addition to the exceptions discussed in this article, one way to avoid the tax is by taking a 60 - day rollover \"\"loan\"\" from a retirement account. While not technically a loan, distributions are tax - free if the taxpayer reinvests the funds in a retirement account within 60 days, even if the funds are reinvested in the same account."

"text": "A non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan allows a service provider (e.g., an employee) to earn wages, bonuses or other compensation in one year but receive the earnings — and defer the income tax on them— in a later year. Doing this provides income in the future (often after they've left the workforce), and may reduce the tax payable on the income if the person is in a lower tax bracket when the deferred compensation is received. What is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan? Deferred compensation plans can be qualifying or nonqualifying (see Benefits of Deferred Compensation Plans ). The non-qualified type is created by an employer to enable employees to defer compensation that they have a legally binding right to receive. There are several varieties of NQDC plans (also called 409A plans after the section in the tax code governing them, introduced in 2004); the one discussed here is the basic unfunded plan for deferring part of annual compensation (the most common type). The tax law requires the plan to meet all of the following conditions: The plan is in writing. The plan document (s) specifies, at the time an amount is deferred, the amount to be paid, the payment schedule and the triggering event that will result in payment. There are six permissible triggering events: a fixed date, separation from service (e.g., retirement ), a change in ownership or control of the company, disability, death or an unforeseen emergency. Other events, such as the need to pay tuition for a child, a change in the financial condition of the company or a heavy tax bill are not permissible triggering events."

Timing can indeed be crucial if you want to get the most reliable results possible. Many women get too eager and test too early, often within days after having sex or when they believe that they ovulated. However, the hormone created during pregnancy, human chorionic gonatropin, can only be detected after 11 days have passed after conception. If you take the test before the 11 days have fully passed, the test will be unable to detect any h CG in your urine. Many women wait to test until they have missed the first day of their scheduled period."

( Justin Tang / THE CANADIAN PRESS)By Francine Kopun Business reporter Thu., March 3, 2016A U. S. healthcare services company is poised to become the single largest player in the Canadian retail pharmacy sector, both supplying and selling drugs at retail, a move competitors say will put them at a disadvantage. “The supplier who supplies me with medicine now competes with me head-to-head in the market with his own pharmacy,” said Ben Shenouda, an independent pharmacist in Brampton, and spokesperson for the Independent Association of Pharmacists of Ontario. Mc Kesson Corp. announced Wednesday that it has agreed to buy the 470-store Rexall Health chain, which employs 8,600 Canadians, from the privately held Katz Group, based in Alberta. Mc Kesson already supplies 1,900 Canadian pharmacies, including Shenouda’s Pan Drugs. BMO Capital Markets retail analyst Peter Sklar estimates that Mc Kesson will operate or supply approximately 2,500 corporate, independent and franchised pharmacies across Canada if the $3-billion deal announced Wednesday is approved. That will give Mc Kesson a 27 per cent share in the Canadian retail pharmacy sector, pushing Loblaw Cos.

All pregnancy tests look for the presence of h CG. h CG is short for \"\"’’human chorionic gonadotropin’’\"\". It is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is not produced until implantation (when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall). Implantation does not occur until 6-12 days after ovulation. So the soonest you can take a pregnancy test and get a positive test result is seven days after ovulation, though many women will get a false negative at this time. It can be tough, but you should try to wait to take a pregnancy test until 10-12 days after ovulation. Remember, even if you wait that long, you may still show a negative result.

Most false results are those stating that the mother isn’t pregnant when she is. However, there are some instances in which a positive test could be wrong as well. In order to fully understand how false pregnancy tests occur, you must first understand how various pregnancy tests work. Basically, the pregnancy test will measure a certain hormone – called human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is secreted during pregnancy and assists with the growth of the fetus. Home pregnancy tests can detect this hormone once its levels have increased a significant percent, confirming 97% accurately that the woman is pregnant. Believe it or not, this is the same type of test your doctor will likely perform. Unfortunately, many women have a small amount of this hormone continuously and if the level gets high enough just before a period, you could get a false pregnancy test result. The best time to use a urine test for pregnancy is three to five days after your missed period."

"text": "The accuracy of a pregnancy test after in vitro fertilization ( IVF) will depend on the type of hormonal supplements and medications given during the course of treatment. Many women will receive injections of human chorionic gonadotropin ( Hcg) to help sustain any resulting pregnancy, and this could cause pregnancy test results to be inaccurate. This is because Hcg is the same hormone produced by a developing embryo and is the one detected by most pregnancy tests to give a positive result. Artificial injections of Hcg could lead to a false positive. In women who receive Hcg during the course of treatment, a pregnancy test after IVF may not be accurate if they are not actually pregnant. A home pregnancy test could pick up on the artificial hormones and give a positive result even in women who are not pregnant. Women who are in fact pregnant, though, will receive an accurate result. As a general rule of thumb, it is a good idea to wait 24 hours after every 1,000 units of Hcg given during treatment. After this time, a pregnancy test should be accurate, although every woman should discuss testing protocol with her doctor. Ad Women who do not receive Hcg during treatments may yield the same accuracy levels as any other woman when taking a pregnancy test after IVF."

I just bought some today, I went to Dollar General and bought it , it came with 2 pregnancy tests and it was $7. The box said you can test 5 days before your missed period or whatever... I took one when i got home and it was positive, how reliable are... show more1 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In all honesty, I think the First Response Early Results (FRER) is probably a better test than the Rexall one, simply because FRER is one of the best tests out there. It's also a pink dye test, which is less likely to give a false negative than blue dye tests, which are known to be somewhat inconsistent unless you are far enough along for the result to be blazing bright. Lots of women have gotten false positives with blue dye tests. However, most store brand name tests are still good for test results, if used properly and if you take a few across a few days to confirm the results. The line will get darker, the further your progress in your pregnancy, provided your h CG (pregnancy hormone) levels are rising. I would say you are pregnant, and I would say wait until tomorrow morning to test with the Rexall brand test, just to make sure you get the most concentrated urine. FRERs are very sensitive, and they might give you a positive result long before any other test can detect the pregnancy."

"text": "How soon after a missed period can I take a home pregnancy test and get accurate results? Many home pregnancy tests (HPTs) claim to be 99% accurate on the day you miss your period. But research suggests that most HPTs do not consistently spot pregnancy that early. And when they do, the results are often so faint they are misunderstood. If you can wait one week after your missed period, most home pregnancy tests will give you an accurate answer. Ask your doctor for a more sensitive test if you need to know earlier. When a home pregnancy test will give an accurate result depends on many things. These include: How long it takes for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus after ovulation. Pregnancy tests look for the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin ( h CG) that is only produced once the fertilized egg has implanted in the uterine wall. In most cases, this happens about 6 days after conception."

Richard Powell, for his part was already well into long pants, and trying to break into solid, dramatic Film roles. Given the Studio System of the era, Powell found himself offered only musicals or musical comedies in his Film career. Whenever Powell would seek more dramatic roles, his studio heads would veto the project. Powell persisted, and lobbied hard for the male lead in the film noir classic, Double Indemnity (1944) but lost the role to Fred Mac Murray. But as if fated, Powell landed the role of Philip Marlowe in the other notable film noir classic of 1944, Murder, My Sweet. Largely on the strength of his critical and popular success in Murder, My Sweet, he persuaded F. W. Fitch, the sponsor of his long-running Fitch Bandwagon Radio variety series to give Powell a try at a detective mystery series for the 1945 Summer season of Fitch Bandwagon, retitled, Fitch Bandwagon Mysteries, then ultimately, Rogue's Gallery. Fitch Bandwagon Mysteries' Rogue's Gallery was an almost instant hit for Powell, and resulted in an eventual franchise of seven years of Rogue's Gallery, three years of which starred Dick Powell as Richard Rogue."

Electromagnetic waves are the same type of radiation as light, ultra-violet and infra red rays, differing from them in their wavelength and frequency. Electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic components that are inseparable. The planes of these fields are at right angles to one another and to the direction of motion of the wave. An electromagnetic wave The electric field results from the voltage changes occurring in the RF antenna which is radiating the signal, and the magnetic changes result from the current flow. It is also found that the lines of force in the electric field run along the same axis as the RF antenna, but spreading out as they move away from it. This electric field is measured in terms of the change of potential over a given distance, e.g. volts per metre, and this is known as the field strength. Similarly when an RF antenna receives a signal the magnetic changes cause a current flow, and the electric field changes cause the voltage changes on the antenna. There are a number of properties of a wave."

Base station antennae are mounted high off the ground (on a tower or roof) to get the widest coverage. A mobile phone has a radio receiver and a transmitter. When you make a call, your phone uses radiofrequency (RF) radiation via its antenna to ‘talk’ to a nearby base station. Once the base station has received your signal, your call is directed through the landline phone system. Mobile phone base stations emit relatively constant levels of RF radiation. The handsets emit levels of RF radiation that vary depending on three things:how long you use the phonehow close you hold the phone to your bodyhow close you are to the base station. If the link to the base station is weak, the handset increases its radiation level to compensate."

"text": "Posted on April 18, 2011 by JINI Health and Gut Stuff As the mother of three children – with thinner skulls, higher water content in their skulls (= higher conductivity) and undeveloped immune systems – it is very important to find out what levels of microwave RF radiation my kids are being exposed to, so that I can take measures to protect them where needed. So the first component of protecting your kids from wireless radiation involves testing and measuring their daily environment for Wi Fi signal strength – school, home, dance or gymnastics studio, friends’ houses, etc. Anywhere your kids spend over an hour continuously should be tested (in my opinion) so at least you can get a good idea of their daily radiation exposure. Baubiologie – standard Building Biology testing methods – lists RF safety readings in the home (especially in sleeping areas) in the following manner: No Concern – less than 0.10 microwatts/m2 (microwatts per meter squared)Slight Concern – 0.10 – 10 microwatts/m2Severe Concern – 10 – 1000 microwatts/m2Extreme Concern – greater than 1000 microwatts/m2Magda Havas Ph D recommends that (especially for children) microwave radiation levels do not exceed 0.10 microwatts/cm2 (per centimetre squared) and indoor areas do not exceed .001 microwatts/cm2. In my recent teleseminar with her, she said:“We did a study just last– a few years ago, itʼs just coming out this year, where we tested the response of the heart to microwave radiation and the arc exposure was 0.3 microwatts/cm2, so itʼs 3 times higher than that guideline that I just mentioned – and several of the people we tested blindly, so it wasnʼt a psycho-somatic response, they developed tachycardia which is a rapid heart rate and arrhythmia instantly as soon as we exposed them to the radiation from a cordless phone at 2.4 GHz. So, if adults start having those symptoms and I know quite a few adults who have them, they suddenly feel; their heart starts beating, they have this pressure and pain in the chest area, theyʼre having an anxiety attack, thatʼs how the interpret it, or theyʼre having a heart attack and they donʼt know which and it scares them incredibly. Well, children are now beginning to have these problems. ”Once you know what you’re dealing with, then you can take steps to reduce or eliminate their radiation load – I’ll get into all that in a separate article. For now, let’s just look at what RF meters are on the market, at what price, and what each of them do to measure wifi signal strength – so that you can find the right one for your needs and budget. As a mom, you’ll likely want to test primarily for: Radiation from Wi Fi routers in your kids school – where is the safest place to sit in the classroom?"

"text": "Keywords: H-E = hematoxylin-eosin ; NADH = nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced ; RF = radiofrequency Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Tumor ablation is defined as the direct application of chemical or thermal therapies to a tumor to achieve eradication or substantial tumor destruction. The principle of tumor ablation has been known for more than 100 years ( 1 ). The advantages of imaging-guided ablative therapies compared with traditional cancer treatments include reduced morbidity and mortality, lower procedural cost, suitability for real-time imaging guidance, the ability to perform ablations in an outpatient setting, synergy with other cancer treatments, and repeatability ( 2, 3 ). Many ablation modalities have been used, including cryoablation, ethanol ablation, laser ablation, and radio-frequency (RF) ablation. The most recent development has been the use of microwave energy in tumor ablation. Microwave ablation refers to the use of all electromagnetic methods for inducing tumor destruction by using devices with frequencies of at least 900 MHz ( 4 – 6 ). Microwave ablation offers many of the benefits of RF ablation and has several other theoretical advantages that may increase its effectiveness in the treatment of tumors. The potential benefits of microwave technology include consistently higher intratumoral temperatures, larger tumor ablation volumes, faster ablation times, ability to use multiple applicators, improved convection profile, optimal heating of cystic masses, and less procedural pain ( 7 – 10 ). In addition, microwave ablation does not require the placement of grounding pads. In this article, the authors describe a recently developed percutaneous device for microwave ablation ( 8 ); outline the physics of microwaves; illustrate the histologic changes after microwave ablation in the lung and liver; and show clinical examples of its percutaneous use in the liver, lung, kidney, adrenal gland, and bone."

Thanks Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Here's a nice little paper I've written for internal customers that explains it a bit.... --------------------------------------... Antenna Gain Real antennas do not radiate equally in all directions. Antenna gain is a measure of how well an antenna sends and receives radio signals in its forward direction, the direction of maximum radiation. Antenna gain applies equally to sending and receiving; an antenna that radiates well in a given direction while transmitting also receives signals well from that same direction. Gain is measured in decibels (d B), where each 3 d B represents a doubling of the radiated power. ( Each 1 db of gain represents a factor 21/3, or approximately 1.26. ( 1.26 × 1.26 × 1.26 ≈ 2.00)) Gain is always specified in comparison to another antenna, the \"\"reference antenna\"\". A letter following the d B indicates the reference antenna: * Gain specified in decibels-isotropic (d Bi) indicates how the antenna performs as compared to an isotropic radiator. An isotropic radiator is a theoretical antenna that radiates equally in all directions (including up and down). *"

( November 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In the context of mobile radio communication systems, RF Planning is the process of assigning frequencies, transmitter locations and parameters of a wireless communications system to provide sufficient coverage and capacity for the services required. Cellular, trunked, Wi-Fi, or MANET radios, while each unique in modeling, still depend upon these fundamental aspects. The RF plan of a communication system has two objectives: coverage and capacity. Coverage relates to the geographical footprint within the system that has sufficient RF signal strength to provide for a call/data session. Capacity relates to the capability of the system to sustain a given number of participants."

"text": "\"Table of Contents | Print this page3. Exposure Limits Issued: May 2009Revised: March 2016Content last reviewed: March 2016See also: Radiation Hazards and Protection Disclaimer: This resource has been prepared to help the workplace parties understand some of their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and regulations. It is not legal advice. It is not intended to replace the OHSA or the regulations. For further information please see full disclaimer. The recommended occupational exposure limits and measurement protocol set out in this guideline are extracted from the Health Canada guideline “Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 k Hz to 300 GHz – Safety Code 6 (2015)” commonly known as Safety Code 6. Workplaces which have the potential of approaching or exceeding these limits are encouraged to become familiar with this document and its technical guide. Exposure limits for RF / MW radiation are designed to keep the RF / MW energy absorbed by the body well below the lowest levels associated with demonstrated adverse effects, and to reduce the likelihood of contact shocks and burns. Since the RF / MW energy absorbed by the body varies with the frequency of the fields and since the rate of energy absorption is difficult to measure directly, the exposure limits are expressed in terms of frequency-dependent, root-mean-square ( RMS) electric and magnetic field strengths, or in power density units ( W/m 2 ). Power density measures the amount of radiating energy crossing a given area in a given period of time."

Most of the measurements we make with RF signals are either frequency or power. This is true if we are testing a simple amplifier or a sophisticated transceiver. The power characteristics we measure are the same for most applications - just the equipment is different. To understand your transmitter’s output power, for example, you must know the pulse width and duty cycle. Did you know you could measure pulse width and duty cycle with your i Phone?

As with most (hopefully) government functions, the intentions are good, and the people working in them are sincere in the execution of their duties, but they are not always right. If that were not the case, then there would never be a need to challenge policies. One of the biggest challenges for the average citizen these days is keeping frequency band allocations that are dedicated to hobbyists from being re-delegated to commercial applications. One area where the FCC has excelled is in the consumer safety realm, regarding safe exposure limits to electromagnetic fields. Even that is somewhat subject to political concerns - for instance, the SAR (specific absorbed radiation) limits for cell phone radiation in the human body. Phone manufacturers say no harm is done with 2 W of 1-2 GHz radiation blasting an inch from your brain, or from 1 W of 2.4 GHz energy sitting on your crotch (notebook computer).

"text": "Cellular Phone Towers Cellular (cell) phones first became widely available in the United States in the 1990s, but since then their use has increased dramatically. The widespread use of cell phones has led to cell phone towers being placed in many communities. These towers, also called base stations, have electronic equipment and antennas that receive and transmit radiofrequency (RF) signals. How do cellular phone towers work? Cell phone base stations may be free-standing towers or mounted on existing structures, such as trees, water tanks, or tall buildings. The antennas need to be high enough to adequately cover the area. Base stations are usually from 50-200 feet high. Cell phones communicate with nearby cell towers mainly through radiofrequency (RF) waves, a form of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum between FM radio waves and microwaves. Like FM radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and heat, they are forms of non-ionizing radiation. This means they do not directly damage the DNA inside cells, which is how stronger ( ionizing) types of radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet (UV) light are thought to be able to cause cancer."

Antenna design parameters include: impedance, polarization, bandwidth, beamwidth, directivity, gain and radiation pattern. Aperture In a shielded enclosure an aperture is an opening that may become a source of leakage for electromagnetic energy. In designing for EMI an aperture should have a maximum dimension less than 1/20 wavelength of the highest frequency to avoid EMI emissions issues. The most common apertures in a shielded enclosure are: LEDs, joints, seams, switches and connectors. Attenuation Expressed in (d B) decibels, it is the amount of reduction or loss of energy expressed in voltage, current or power, in a device such as an attenuator, filter or shielded enclosure. Bonding The act of fixing two substrates together to create electrical conductivity between them The bond can occur from physical contact between conducting surfaces or by adding an electrical connection. Conducted Emission (CE) EMI (electromagnetic interference) that maybe generated in electronic devices and transferred through powerlines, I/O lines or control leads. It is coupled through conduction from one device to another. Conducted Susceptiblility (CS) A devices capability to function with undesirable conducted EMI, usually coming from I/O cables, signal leads or powerlines."

Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins (known as a Ribonucleoprotein or RNP). It translates Messenger RNA (m RNA) into a polypeptide chain (e.g., a protein). It can be thought of as a factory that builds a protein from a set of genetic instructions. Ribosomes can float freely in the cytoplasm (the internal fluid of the cell) or bind to the endoplasmic reticulum, or to the nuclear envelope. Since ribosomes are ribozymes, it is thought that they might be remnants of the RNA world. Ribosomes were first observed in the mid-1950s by cell biologist George Palade in the electron microscope as dense particles or granules [1] for which he would win the Nobel Prize."

"text": "Section 9.7 Organelle DNAs Although the vast majority of DNA in most eukaryotes is found in the nucleus, some DNA is present within the mitochondria of animals, plants, and fungi and within the chloroplasts of plants. These organelles are the main cellular sites for ATP formation, during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts (Chapter 16). Many lines of evidence indicate that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from bacteria that were endocytosed into ancestral cells containing a eukaryotic nucleus, forming endosymbionts. Over evolutionary time, most of the bacte-rial genes encoding components of the present-day organelles were transferred to the nucleus. However, mitochondria and chloroplasts in today’s eukaryotes retain circular DNAs encoding proteins essential for organellar function as well as the ribosomal and transfer RNAs required for their translation. Thus eukaryotic cells have multiple genetic systems: a predominant nuclear system and secondary systems with their own DNA in the mitochondria and chloroplasts. Go to: Mitochondria Contain Multiple mt DNA Molecules Individual mitochondria are large enough to be seen under the light microscope and even the mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) can be detected by fluorescence microscopy. The mt DNA is located in the interior of the mitochondrion, the region known as the matrix. As judged by the number of yellow fluorescent “dots” of mt DNA, a Euglena gracilis cell contains at least thirty mt DNA molecules ( Figure 9-42 ).

Since this material had an affinity for basic stains similar to that of chromatin granules of the nucleus so it was for a time called chromidial or chromophil substance. ADVERTISEMENTS: The ribosomes were first noted in plant cells by Robinson and Brown in 1953 while studying bean roots with the electron microscope and shortly afterward Palade (1955) observed them in animal cells. He isolated the ribosomes and detected the RNA in them that is why also called RNP or ribonucleoprotein particles or Palade granules. Claude named them as microsome but the name ribosome was designated by Robert in 1958. Occurrence: They are universally distributed throughout the animal kingdom and plant kingdom. Prokaryotes too, they are found. The only cell types devoid of ribosomes are the mammalian RBC. The density of ribosomes per unit area being rather constant for any given type.

Cell Membrane The cell membrane surrounds the cell. This membrane acts like a barrier for the cell, meaning that it allows only certain things to pass in or out of the cell but not everything. Each organelle inside a Eukaryotic cell is also surrounded by a membrane. These membranes serve as a selective barrier for the organelles. Each of these membranes, like the cell membrane, are also made up of lipids. Nucleus The cell’s nucleus is large and usually close to the center in the cell. The nucleus contains most of the cell’s genetic information, including its DNA, which arranges the structure and function of the cell. Inside the nucleus, the cell’s DNA is packed together into chromosomes."

The term cell is derived from the Latin word and was first observed by a scientist named Robert Hook in the year 1665. All living organisms are composed of one or many cells to perform their individual functions. A cell is a smallest unit of a life, which is able to control and perform several functions in all living organisms. All unicellular organisms (single cell) including bacteria and archae, which are composed of a single cell, are examples of prokaryotic cells. All multicellular organisms (many or more than one cell) including humans, which are composed of complex or many cells, are examples of eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane and genetic material in common. Is a cell necessary for a life? Yes, all living organisms on planet earth require a cell.

For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color blind.

The organisms had cell walls at least and so that was enough for them to end up in that kingdom. Once we understood that they lack a nucleus or chloroplast or mitochondrion, the bacteria needed to be moved into a new kingdom... Monera (yellow) was created for them in the 3 to 5 kingdom era. The Archaea were split out from Monera in the transition to 6 kingdoms, so Monera was renamed Bacteria (or Eubacteria). Bacteria are found as fossils in rocks dating to 3.5 billion years before present time, so these are the most ancient forms of life that are known."

Earlier discoveries made by Mendel, Walter Sutton, T. H. Morgan and others had narrowed the search for genetic material to chromosomes. ADVERTISEMENTS: Chromosomes are made up of nucleic acids and proteins and are known as hereditary vehicles. In the first instance it appeared that proteins would be hereditary material, until experiments were performed to prove that nucleic acids act as genetic material. DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) has been found to be a genetic material in all the living beings except few plant viruses where RNA is the genetic material because DNA is not found in such viruses. A.

Eukaryotes usually have a single nucleus, but a few cell types, such as mammalian red blood cells, have no nuclei, and a few others have many. Cell nuclei contain most of the cell's genetic material, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with a large variety of proteins, such as histones, to form chromosomes. The genes within these chromosomes are the cell's nuclear genome and are structured in such a way to promote cell function. The nucleus maintains the integrity of genes and controls the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression —the nucleus is, therefore, the control center of the cell. The main structures making up the nucleus are the nuclear envelope, a double membrane that encloses the entire organelle and isolates its contents from the cellular cytoplasm, and the nuclear matrix (which includes the nuclear lamina ), a network within the nucleus that adds mechanical support, much like the cytoskeleton, which supports the cell as a whole."

Ribosomes are the cellular component that make proteins from all amino acids. Ribosomes are made from complexes of RNAs and proteins. The number of ribosomes in a cell depends on the activity of the cell. Ribosomes are freely suspended in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum forming the rough endoplasmic reticulum. On an average in a mammalian cell there can be about 10 million ribosomes. When the ribosomes are attached to the same m RNA strand, this structure is known as polysome. The existence of ribosomes is temporary, after the synthesis of polypeptide the two sub-units separate and is reused or broken up. Amino acids are joined by the ribosomes at a rate of 200 per minute . Therefore small proteins can be made quickly but two or three hours are needed for proteins which are as large as 30,000 amino acids."

That common-sense observation led to agriculture, the purposeful breeding and cultivation of animals and plants for desirable characteristics. Firming up the details took quite some time, though. Researchers did not understand exactly how traits were passed to the next generation until the middle of the 20th century. Now it is clear that genes are what carry our traits through generations and that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). But genes themselves don't do the actual work. Rather, they serve as instruction books for making functional molecules such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, which perform the chemical reactions in our bodies. Proteins do many other things, too. They provide the body's main building materials, forming the cell's architecture and structural components. But one thing proteins can't do is make copies of themselves."

Even though plants and animals belong to eukaryotes, they differ in certain characteristic features. For example, a plant cell possesses a well-developed cell wall and large vacuoles, while an animal cell lacks such structural parts. Besides these structural differences, a plant cell lacks centrioles and intermediate filaments, which are present in an animal cell. A typical plant cell is made up of cytoplasm and organelles. In fact, all the organelles (except nucleus) and subcellular structures are present in the cytoplasm, which is enclosed by protective layers (the cell wall and cell membrane).

For example: meristematic cells perform repeated cell divisions, phloem cells - conduct food material, sclerenchyma - mechanical, xylem - conduction of water and mineral salts and so on. Nevertheless, all these different types of cells are derived from the same embryonic cells. The development of various cell types from a single cell is determined and regulated by a process called differentiation, which in turn is controlled by differential concentrations of plant hormones. Added to this, organ differentiation is another fascinating aspect of development. All these processes are regulated by differential gene regulation in response to environmental stimulus and phytohormones. Cellular composition: All cells are made up of a semi viscous fluid called protoplasm, which is considered as the physical basis of life, for it controls all biochemical reactions of the cell.

Expert answer by Judy Olmsted Confidence votes 19.9KRetired college science professor. Member of Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society, ACS & AAAS. MS, MAT.r RNA molecules are assembled, together with many protein molecules into two subunits of future ribosomes. The subunits leave the nucleus through pores in the nuclear membrane, and enter the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the two ribosome subunits are brought together to form a functional ribosome at an early stage in translation, and separate again when the ribosome has fully translated a molecule of messenger RNA (m RNA).

See The Structure Of A Mitochondrion Chloroplast: Membrane-bound organelle and the site of photosynthesis and ATP production in autotrophic plant cells. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts contain their own circular DNA molecules. In fact, chloroplast DNA, including the protein-coding RBCL gene, is often used at the family level to show the relationships between genera and species within plant families. Intron regions from chloroplast DNA are also used to construct family trees. Introns are sections of messenger RNA that are removed prior to translation at the ribosome. Comparative DNA between different genera and species of a plant family can be shown with computer generated evoltionary trees called cladograms. Evolutionary Tree (Cladogram) Of The Duckweed Family Some biologists believe that mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotic animal and plant cells may have originated from ancient symbiotic bacteria that were once captured by other cells in the distant geologic past. This fascinating idea is called the \"\" Endosymbiont Theory \"\" (or \"\"Endosymbiont Hypothesis\"\" for those who are more skeptical). Chloroplasts and mitochondria have outer phospholipid bilayer membranes and circular DNA molecules like those of prokaryotic bacterial cells."

Eukaryotic cells are found in most algae, protozoa, all multicellular organisms (plants and animals) including humans. The genetic material in the nucleus forms multiple chromosomes that are linear and complexed with proteins that help the DNA 'pack' and are involved in regulation of gene expression. The cells of higher plants differ from animal cells in that they have large vacuoles, a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a lack of lysosomes, centrioles, pseudopods, and flagella or cilia.

When cells need large numbers of proteins, they must first build numerous ribosomes. fart Because protein synthesis is so important to cells, there are large numbers of ribosomesc cells lack a nucleus or nucleolus and therefore ribosomal synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. Without the ribosomes the message would not be read and proteins could not be produced. Ribosomes are the tiny organelles inside cells which are responsible for protein synthesis.

The r RNA part is synthesized from the original message called DNA in the nucleus, particularly in a region called nucleolus. The protein parts come from another DNA message that specify the production of these proteins, translated to m RNA (messenger RNA, this is different RNA than those produced in nucleolus), then the m RNA is transported out of nucleus. It is translated into protein by eventually already assembled ribosome in cytoplasm. Then, the protein parts are transported back to nucleus and together with the r RNA produced in nucleolus, they are assembled into complete ribosome. These r RNA-protein complexes are then transported out of nucleus to cytoplasm, where they do their task, to synthesize protein. To simplify: DNA1 --> r RNA (nucleolus) DNA2 --> m RNA --> Protein (nucleus) (cytoplasm) Protein + r RNA --> Ribosome (nucleolus)mrv88_ariesdrache · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating None of the answers make any sense and speak to the chicken and the egg scenario.

"text": "\"FROM GENE TO PROTEINThe information content of DNA is in the form of specific sequences of nucleotides. DNA dictates the synthesis of proteins, which are the links between genotype and phenotype. The symptoms of an inherited disease reflect a person's inability to synthesize a particular enzyme. The one gene - one enzyme hypothesis, but not all proteins are enzymes and yet their synthesis depends on specific genes. The one gene - one protein hypothesis but many proteins are composed of several polypeptides, each of which has its own gene. Therefore, the hypothesis has been restated as the one gene - one polypeptide hypothesis. Transcription and translation are the two main processes linking gene to protein The bridge between DNA and protein synthesis is RNA. RNA is chemically similar to DNA, except that it contains ribose as its sugar and substitutes the nitrogenous base uracil for thymine. An RNA molecule almost always consists of a single strand. The specific sequence of hundreds or thousands of nucleotides in each gene carries the information for the primary structure of a protein, the linear order of the 20 possible amino acids."

It is the command center of a eukaryotic cell and is commonly the most prominent organelle in a cell. Distinguishing Characteristics The cell nucleus is bound by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. This membrane separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Like the cell membrane, the nuclear envelope consists of phospholipids that form a lipid bilayer. The envelope helps to maintain the shape of the nucleus and assists in regulating the flow of molecules into and out of the nucleus through nuclear pores . The nuclear envelope is connected with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in such a way that the internal compartment of the nuclear envelope is continuous with the lumen of the ER. The nucleus is the organelle which houses chromosomes. Chromosomes consist of DNA, which contains heredity information and instructions for cell growth, development, and reproduction. When a cell is \"\"resting\"\" i.e. not dividing, the chromosomes are organized into long entangled structures called chromatin and not into individual chromosomes as we typically think of them."

How to approach this problem To determine whether a protein is synthesized by free ribosomes or bound ribosomes, be sure to consider where the protein ultimately ends up. In general, there are two classes of proteins:those that function in the cytoplasm or in environments that are in direct contact with the cytoplasm (Note that although the nucleus isenveloped by two membranes, the interior is still considered to be in direct contact with the cytoplasm via the numerous pores thatallow transport between these two environments. ) those that function in locations separated from the cytoplasm by a cellular membrane The proteins in the first class are synthesized by free ribosomes; they will ultimately function in the cytoplasm or within the nucleus. The proteinsin the second class are synthesized by bound ribosomes; they will ultimately reside in or pass through the endomembrane system. Hint 2."

The entire process is made possible by an extremely small cellular organelle known as the ribosome. Ribosomes All living cells need to make proteins. Some proteins provide the amino acids necessary for the growth and repair of tissue, while some function as enzymes or provide support for other cellular functions. To make proteins, a cell needs ribosomes. Ribosomes are tiny organelles that function to synthesize or build proteins. They connect one amino acid to another, forming long strings of protein known as polypeptide chains. Where they're found Ribosomes are generally thought of as organelles."

"text": "Protein Synthesis Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: mark huls There is no task more important to the function of living cells than the synthesis of proteins. Because proteins carry out so many different tasks, the mechanism to synthesize them is intricate. There are several stages involved in the synthesis process, including transcription and translation. Transcription The primary role of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) is to direct the synthesis of proteins. DNA, however, is located in the nucleus of the cell, and Figure 1. Protein synthesis requires transcription (shown on the left side of the figure) and translation (shown on the right side of the figure).protein synthesis occurs in cellular structures called ribosomes , found out-side the nucleus. The process by which genetic information is transferred from the nucleus to the ribosomes is called transcription. During transcription, a strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA) is synthesized. This messenger RNA (m RNA) is complementary to the portion of DNA that directed it—it has a complementary nucleotide at each point in the chain. A specialized protein called an enzyme controls when transcription occurs."

A single cell might hold a several thousand up to a few million ribosomes. Ribosomes synthesize proteins by joining amino acids together. While some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol of a cell, others bind to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosome Assembly All living cells have ribosomes, and each ribosome forms from two subunits, r RNA and ribosomal proteins, which bind together during protein synthesis. The protein subunit comprises about one-third of the ribosome’s mass, the r RNA accounting for the other two-thirds. In eukaryotes, ribosomes form in the nucleolus, a structure inside the cell’s nucleus. As ribosomal proteins enter the nucleus, they join with four r RNA strands to create a complete ribosome. The subunits exit the nucleus through pores and begin protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of the cell. In prokaryotes, proteins combine with three r RNA strands."

The improvement of the microscope then led to an era during which many biologists made intensive observations of the microscopic structure of cells. By 1885 a substantial amount of indirect evidence indicated that chromosomes —dark-staining threads in the cell nucleus—carried the information for cell heredity. It was later shown that chromosomes are about half DNA and half protein by weight. DNAJames Watson and Francis Crick revolutionized the study of genetics when they discovered the structure of DNA. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The revolutionary discovery suggesting that DNA molecules could provide the information for their own replication came in 1953, when American geneticist and biophysicist James Watson and British biophysicist Francis Crick proposed a model for the structure of the double-stranded DNA molecule (called the DNA double helix ). In this model, each strand serves as a template in the synthesis of a complementary strand. Subsequent research confirmed the Watson and Crick model of DNA replication and showed that DNA carries the genetic information for reproduction of the entire cell. The initial proposal of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick was accompanied by a suggestion on the means of replication. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus."

The sternum consists of three regions they are as follows:- the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. [ 1] It is one of the largest and longest flat bones of the body. The word sternum originates from the Greek στέρνον, meaning chest.

The frequency with which you perform this type of workout depends on your free time, but a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise can put you on the road to weight loss. To experience faster results, however, commit to at least 300 minutes of aerobic exercise. Ideally, you should meet this guideline in no more than five days to allow a couple days for rest. This form of exercise can include walking, jogging, dancing, jumping rope, swimming, hiking and biking.

To understand liposuction or fat removal in general, you must first understand the skin, body fat and the structure of fat cells. The skin is not just a covering for the rest of the body, it is our body's largest organ. The skin does not just keep our insides in and the outside out. It is the first line of the body's immune defense against infectious organisms. It helps keep our body from dehydrating, helps keep us at the right temperature, serves as an organ of sensation (touch), protects us from ultraviolet radiation, and synthesizes vitamin D from sunlight. There are basically three layers to the skin, the epidermis on top, the dermis just below that, and below that is the hypodermis or subcutis layer. The epidermis is primarily made of dead skin cells that form a protective layer. It is also where the melanocytes, the color cells of the skin, are found. These cells are continually flaking off the top and being replaced from the bottom."

We can change things up, shift stuff around. Physiological processes (among which weight loss and metabolism can certainly be counted) are never linear – that’s partly what makes all this stuff so endlessly engaging. Today, I revisit a strategy for overcoming these lulls in weight loss induced by low carb: carb (re)feeds.

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

"text": "Carb foods Carb Backloading: Eating Carbohydrates to Get Lean, Muscular and Strong Turning carbohydrates into powerful muscle-building, fat-burning weapons is a lot easier than you think.by John Kiefer UUntil now, you haven’t had many options. If you wanted to get lean, you had to diet strictly— and weeks of food deprivation stripped a little fat but also left you smaller and weaker. If your goal was to get bigger, you had to eat like a pig. Then, of course, you’d pack on not only muscle but fat as well. The reason why both strategies lead to less than satisfying results can be answered in one word: carbs. Consuming large amounts of carbs (particularly the sugary and starchy kind) raises your blood sugar. This triggers the release of the hormone insulin to bring your blood sugar level back down. If you’ve just finished weight training, that’s good, because insulin will take the calories you’re consuming straight to the muscle cells for rebuilding. At any other time of day, however, insulin will store those calories as fat. Manipulating this effect is the key to getting the perfect body—lean, muscular, and strong."

"text": "\"Joseph De Leo Cut Calories with Low-GI Foods You've eaten your weight in grapefruit, counted your share of fat grams, and sworn off bread, pasta, and every other carbohydrate, all in an effort to squeeze into your skinny jeans. Now you can finally breathe easier: The next big thing in weight loss isn't low-fat, low-flavor, or low-carb. It's the low-glycemic index diet, and if you haven't already heard of it, you will. Research is beginning to confirm what popular diet plans like The South Beach Diet (St. Martin's Griffin, 2005) have been preaching for years: Eating a diet composed mostly of foods with a low glycemic index may help you cut calories without cravings by balancing blood-sugar levels. \"\" Good\"\" vs. \"\"Bad\"\" Carbohydrates In the simplest of terms, a low-glycemic diet is generally high in good carbohydrates (like vegetables and whole grains) and low in bad ones (like chocolate chip cookies). Lean proteins and healthy fats round out the rest. \"\" It's the middle ground between diets that are packed with protein, which promise satiety, and those loaded with fiber, which are the most nutritious,\"\" explains Walter Willett, MD, chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. But that's not the whole story. Glycemic-index diet plans are some of the most complicated ever to hit the bookstore shelves. Some allow carrots, some don't."

Named for the noticeable ridge of hair that grows backwards along their spine, these clever dogs are easy to spot in a crowd. However, not all ridgebacks are born with this distinctive patch of hair. Ridgeback History The Rhodesian ridgeback hails from the desert plans of Africa. Originally bred as a lion hunting dog, these large sighthounds were used to lure lions or other game into range for their handlers. Their distinctive ridge is linked to the Hottentot hunting dog, a semi-feral breed native to African tribesman of the region. These wild dogs were crossed with a variety of breed including mastiffs, bloodhounds, greyhounds and great danes to create the ridgeback we know today. Ridge or No Ridge? Ridgebacks should be born with their quirky ridge of backwards hair."

But as a Seventh-day Adventist, he had also vowed not to kill. Department of Defense/National Archives Desmond Doss is credited with saving 75 soldiers during one of the bloodiest battles of World War II in the Pacific — and he did it without ever carrying a weapon. The battle at Hacksaw Ridge, on the island of Okinawa, was a close combat fight with heavy weaponry. Thousands of American and Japanese soldiers were killed, and the fact that Doss survived the battle and saved so many lives has confounded and awed those who know his story. Now, he's the subject of a new film directed by Mel Gibson called Hacksaw Ridge. Movie Reviews A Brave Army Medic Saves Lives In 'Hacksaw Ridge,' Mel Gibson's Return To Directing A quiet, skinny kid from Lynchburg, Va., Doss was a Seventh-day Adventist who wouldn't touch a weapon or work on the Sabbath. He enlisted in the Army as a combat medic because he believed in the cause, but had vowed not to kill. The Army wanted nothing to do with him. \"\" He just didn't fit into the Army's model of what a good soldier would be,\"\" says Terry Benedict, who made a documentary about Doss called The Conscientious Objector."

"text": "Ataxia (Cerebellar)Cerebellar ataxia syndrome is a collection of symptoms related to damage to the cerebellum. This is the part of the brain that controls coordination, balance and fine motor function. Various pet health conditions can cause such damage. These include genetic disorders, trauma, toxins and tumors. Both dogs and cats can be affected by this syndrome. How it Affects your pet When the cerebellum is damaged, the pet develops problems with movement and balance. Most affected pets also develop intention tremors. This means that they shake when concentrating on an action. They also stand in odd positions since they do not have a normal sense of where their limbs are in space. Pets with cerebellar ataxia caused by cerebellar hypoplasia are born with the condition, and they do not get worse."

Some, with earnings in the six-figure bracket, are more respected than even the show judges they compete in front of. What makes these handlers so special? Why do people hire them? And is it really as glamorous as portrayed in the televised airing of the Westminster Kennel Club show? Handlers with clout have been known to make a judge change his or her mind after awarding the \"\"wrong\"\" dog a ribbon. The presence of a known handler at ringside can cause some competitors to simply turn on their heels and head home without ever stepping into the ring. Some say it's politics. Others say it's skill and the ability to attract the best quality dogs as clients. However it is viewed, professional handling is a tough job that is not without its rewards."

In addition to a cuddly companion, you get unconditional love and unwavering devotion. In most cases, you also get your own personal security detail. Canines are naturally protective of their families, happily putting themselves in harm’s way if it means saving the life of a loved one. That is, assuming your pet is able to identify a potential threat and respond appropriately. It’s a skill that some dogs are better at than others.

[ 3] It was primarily for mapping and reconnaissance to discover whether a route to the summit could be found from the north side. As the health of Raeburn broke down, Mallory assumed responsibility for most of the exploration to the north and east of the mountain. He wrote to his wife: \"\"We are about to walk off the map...\"\" After five months of arduous climbing around the base of the mountain, Wheeler explored the hidden East Rongbuk Glacier and its route to the base of the North Col. On September 23, Mallory became the first person to set foot on the mountain and he, Bullock, and Wheeler reached the North Col at 7,020 metres (23,030 ft) before being forced back by strong winds. [ 4] To Mallory's experienced eye, the route up the North ridge intersecting the NE Ridge and from there to the summit looked long, but feasible for a fresher party. [ 3]1922: First attempt [ edit]Main article: 1922 British Mount Everest expedition The second British expedition, under General Charles Granville Bruce and climbing leader Lt-Col. Edward Lisle Strutt, and containing Mallory, returned for a full-scale attempt on the mountain."

Check out one of the 10 most expensive dog breeds in the world. You won't find many of these exclusive dogs at your local park - unless you happen to live on Park Avenue. The Löwchen Löwchens are small, long-haired dogs that have been recognized as a breed since the Renaissance. They're featured in many period paintings because they were popular with nobleman, but by the end of the 19th century, they were virtually extinct. They're still so rare that a Löwchen puppy will cost $5,000 to $8,000. The Canadian Eskimo Dog The Canadian Eskimo dog is a sled or rescue dog indigenous to Canada. They've been part of the Inuit (Eskimo) culture for more than 2,000 years. Unfortunately, they were deemed \"\"officially\"\" extinct in 1963, when only one registered Canadian Eskimo dog remained in Canada. Despite diligent efforts on the part of breeders, there are less than 500 Canadian Eskimo dogs left in North America, which means a puppy of this breed will cost $7,000."

S. Army? In researching the Hacksaw Ridge true story, we learned that Desmond Doss was drafted into the United States army in April 1942. He could have gotten a deferment because he worked as a ship joiner at a shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, but he wanted to serve his country. Electing not to bear arms, he made his way into the army medical corps. During March 1944, he shipped out along with the rest of the 77th Division (the Statue of Liberty Division) for the Pacific Theater, first to Guam, then to Leyte in the Philippines, and finally to partake in the allied invasion of Okinawa, an island 340 miles south of mainland Japan (only the latter is chronicled in the movie). \"\" I felt like it was an honor to serve God and country,\"\" Desmond said. \"\" We were fightin' for our religious liberty and freedom.\"\" - The Conscientious Objector Documentary Desmond Doss (left) entered the U. S. Army in 1942. He was not a conscientious objector in the traditional sense."

"text": "\"EARLY HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN CHEROKEEBrigadier General Stand Watie. Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma Library Click Here for Historical Documents John Ross was born at Rossville, Georgia on October 3, 1790. In 1809, his father-in-law, Colonel Return Jonathan Meigs sent a young Ross on a mission to visit the Cherokee whom had migrated to and were living in Arkansas. He became adjutant under Major Ridge in Colonel Andrew Jackson's army during the Creek \"\"Red Stick\"\" War. He was on the Cherokee National Council, which had been taken over by Cherokee mixed bloods, and in 1827, was elected President of the Cherokee Constitutional Convention and was also elected Cherokee Chief of the East of the Mississippi Cherokees that same year. The Cherokees in the west governed themselves and had their own chiefs. The political parties were supported by most full bloods but the leaders were mixed bloods, most with some traditional learning. Ross himself was one-eighth Cherokee and seven-eighths white. He could neither understand nor speak the Cherokee language. He would devote all of his efforts to making the Indians believe that by following him, he could convince the United States to allow the Cherokee Indians to remain on their lands in Georgia."

"text": "Julie H. asks: How do fingerprints form? I’d also like to know if you burn or remove the skin will they regenerate? Emerging on the buds of fingers while the fetus is still in the womb, the whorls, arches and loops on the ends of digits are said to be unique to each individual. Durable as well, even when fingerprints have been damaged or worn, they can usually replace themselves. Here’s how. Fingerprint Formation Although scientists agree that fingerprints begin to develop around the 10th week and are complete by the end of the 4th month, no one is certain of the precise process that creates them. One theory holds that a middle skin layer, called the basal layer, is scrunched between the inside layer (the dermis) and the outer skin layer (the epidermis). As the faster-growing basal layer strains against its neighbors, the pressure causes the skin to buckle, forming “folds of the epidermis into the dermis,” and resulting in the complex patterns we see on our fingers today. [ 1] Nerves are said to play a part in this process as well, as they are hypothesized to be the origin of the “forces that pull in the epidermis.” [ 2]Interestingly, it is precisely because the pattern is “encoded at the interface between the dermis and epidermis,” that it becomes nearly permanent and “cannot be destroyed by superficial skin injuries.” ["

Its European forebears can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa, who crossed their dogs with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi. The Rhodesian Ridgeback has also previously been known as Van Rooyen's lion dog or the African lion hound or African lion dog — simba inja in Ndebele, shumba imbwa in Shona —because of its ability to keep a lion at bay while awaiting its master's arrival to make the kill. The original breed standard was drafted by F. R. Barnes, in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe ), in 1922. Based on that of the Dalmatian, the standard was approved by the South African Kennel Union in 1927.

Herakles (Heracles) was sent to destroy her as one of his twelve labours, but for each of her heads that he decapitated, two more sprang forth. So with the help of Iolaos (Iolaus), he applied burning brands to the severed stumps, cauterizing the wounds and preventing the regeneration. In the battle he also crushed a giant crab beneath his heel which had come to assist the Hydra. The Hydra and the Crab were afterwards placed amongst the stars by Hera as the Constellations Hydra and Cancer.

This monster, like the lion, was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, and was brought up by Hera. It ravaged the country of Lernae near Argos, and dwelt in a swamp near the well of Amymone: it was formidable by its nine heads, the middle of which was immortal. Heracles, with burning arrows, hunted up the monster, and with his club or a sickle he cut off its heads; but in the place of the head he cut off, two new ones grew forth each time, and a gigantic crab came to the assistance of the hydra, and wounded Heracles. However, with the assistance of his faithful servant Iolaus, he burned away the heads of the hydra, and buried the ninth or immortal one under a huge rock."

Garter snakes generally make their homes in hillside, meadow, woodland or marsh areas and prefer habitats near a permanent source of water, like a stream, lake, pond or even a ditch."

Ring-necked snakes are secretive, nocturnal snakes, so are rarely seen during the day time. They are slightly venomous, but their nonaggressive nature and small, rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle them. They are best known for their unique defense posture of curling up their tails, exposing their bright red-orange posterior, ventral surface when threatened.

"text": "\"�Dealing with Snakes in Florida's Residential Areas—Identifying Commonly Encountered Snakes 1Steve A. Johnson and Monica E. Mc Garrity 2Florida's native snakes play important roles in the environment, serving as prey for many native animals and helping to regulate amphibian and rodent populations. Considering the fact that rodents worldwide help to spread numerous human diseases, we would be well-advised to learn to respect and appreciate snakes for the role they play in our environment. Unfortunately, many snakes are now threatened by habitat loss caused by development of natural habitats to meet the needs of Florida's growing human population. Additionally, large numbers of snakes are killed each year as a result of road mortality and persecution by humans. In the US, humans kill thousands of snakes each year, yet only 5–6 people die each year of venomous snakebites. In order for snakes and people to safely coexist, it is important that Floridians learn to identify, understand, and respect snakes. In residential areas where human-snake encounters may occur, we recommend a three-part proactive approach for coexisting safely with snakes. This document provides information on the first step of this proactive approach—learning to identify Florida's commonly encountered non-venomous and venomous snakes. Please note that, in keeping with the leave it be attitude that we advocate, we recommend that you avoid handling snakes if at all possible and never attempt to handle a snake with your bare hands or attempt to handle any venomous snake—that is a task best left to professionals. Non-Venomous Snakes Florida is home to 46 species of native snakes, only six of which are venomous."

"text": "About Snakes Worn by Shiva: Serpent around Siva’s Neck By Abhilash Rajendran July 23, 2013Pictures and idols of Lord Shiva depict him wearing snakes (cobra) prominently around his neck. Snake is known as ‘Nag’ or Naga and they hold a special place in Hindu religion. Snakes are worshipped in Hinduism. The snakes found on the body of Lord Shiva are considered to be his ornaments. The snake around Shiva’s neck symbolically represents the ego which ones mastered can be worn as an ornament. Coiled serpents also signify that Shiva is the master of time and energy. Images of snakes are often depicted as coiled around the Linga (Shivling). A five-headed snake forms a canopy over the Lingam. Snakes serve Shiva as his sacred thread, necklace, bracelets, bowstring and are occasionally found on his clothes. There are numerous symbolism attached to the snakes on Shiva."

"text": "\"Snake Bite First Aid The knowledge of snake bite first aid can be the difference between death and survival for a person that has been bitten. Most species of snake are harmless but unless you are absolutely sure that you have identified the snake correctly then treat the bite seriously and apply snake bite first aid - See instructions below. Snake Facts Children are at higher risk for death or serious complications because of their smaller body size. Snakes found in and near water are frequently mistaken as being poisonous. A snake can actually bite for up to an hour after it is dead (from a reflex). Although Australia is home to the largest number of venomous snakes in the world, it averages only one fatal snake bite per year. Not all poisonous snakes are fully charged with venom. Even those that are fully charged do not always inject a lethal dose. Other factors that influence the possible seriousness of a snake bite includethe persons health, size, age, and psychological state.the nature of the bite may also vary, like penetration of one or both fangs, the amount of venom injected, the location of the bite and proximity to major blood vessels.the health of the snake and the interval since it last used its venom mechanism is also important. These multiple variables make every bite unique."

Answered Sep 15, 2015 · Author has 87 answers and 172.4k answer views Thanks for the ATA, This is a particular bugbear of mine, being both a lover of reptiles and of language. I believe Eric Brenner is confusing the two known poisonous snake species (at least, the only two I have knowledge of). One is the common Garter Snake of North America, which in certain populations is known to eat toxic salamanders and become themselves poisonous as a result. The second is the Tiger Keelback ( Rhabdophis tigrinis) from Japan, which gets its poison from the toads it eats. Interestingly, the Tiger Keelback biochemically processes the toad-poisons to make them even more deadly, which it then secretes from glands on the back of its neck threatened. Even more interestingly, a mother Keelback with sufficient stored toxin can pass some of it to its brood, giving them a head-start in life.338 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What are ring-necked snakes?

Carson · 1 decade ago5 0 Comment Black Snake With Yellow Rings Source (s):https://shrink.im/a8snafenny · 2 years ago0 0 Comment The thing that many of the experts here are missing is that with the popularity of snakes, it could be an escaped non-indigenous species. As a general rule, if you don't know for sure what kind of snake it is, be careful when you handle it. Leave it alone and it will probably leave on it's own, or at the very least, try it's best to stay out of your way. You are way too big for it to consider as food, and if you don't go around trying to pick it up, it isn't likely to bite you. I know that snakes can elicit feelings of fear/revulsion in some people, but settle down and use your head. Even it it was POISONOUS do you honestly think it would chase you around and try to bite you?hoodoowoman · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment The ring-necked snake or ringneck snake, Diadophis punctatus, is a species of colubrid snake found throughout much of the United States, central Mexico, and southeastern Canada."

"text": "Previous Next Amanitas: From Deadly to Delicious Amanita muscaria var guessowii A few years ago, Jenna and I spent a summer in the rural Costa Rican rainforest, interning at the environmental learning center Rancho Mastatal. The second day, Jenna decided to practice yoga, leaving me with an opportunity to ignore her repeated snake warnings and foolhardily wander off alone into the beckoning jungle. I knew there were only were a handful of venomous snake species in the area, and I approached the clearly blazed trail with all the fiery zeal I usually have in the North Country. Hopping from rock to rock to cross a small river, I was roused into a mid-step leap when I noticed a well-camouflaged snake, coiled in a thick ball and firmly holding its ground on the stone that I was about to step on. I barely managed to jump over the snake, which I soon learned was the deadly and highly territorial fer de lance, or terciopelo in Spanish. Unfortunately, my first encounter with the terciopelo was not my last; over the course of the summer I saw more of them than all other types of snake combined. Amanitas are the terciopelos of the kingdom of fungi. Though the genus only accounts for a small percentage of all mushroom species, it contains some of the most ubiquitous and deadly, making it the culprit for 90% of deaths caused by mushroom poisoning. The vast majority of these deaths are from the destroying angel or death cap, both of which look meatier and more appetizing than most other deadly mushrooms, such as Galerina autumnalis, a nondescript LBM (little brown mushroom). A disproportionate number of people who die of Amanita poisoning in the United States are Southeast or East Asian immigrants, as the death cap bears more than a passing resemblance to the paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) popular in their homeland."

"text": "Types of Snakes: Snake Identification Help Share Tweet0Lizards Snake identification skills have merit, especially in those times one crosses paths with a snake and wonders if it’s poisonous. These snake encounters often happen during the warmer months of the year, traditional season for these cold blooded reptiles. The types of snakes living in the United States fit into one of five different families: Boidae (Boas); Colurbridae; Crotalidae (Pit Vipers); Leptotyphlopidae (Blind Snakes); Elapidae: (Coral Snakes). As already mentioned, some people immediately associate poisonous snakes, or venomous snakes with the snake world. Fortunately, the majority of snakes are not poisonous or venomous. However, four native genera of venomous snakes inhabit North America, Coral Snakes, Copperheads, Cottonmouths and Rattlesnakes. The presence of rear fangs and a very mild venom sometimes qualifies a few Colurbridae species such as Lyre snakes as venomous snakes. They represent a small proportion of the country’s approximately 250 total snake species and subspecies. Most people will cross paths with Colubrid snakes for the simple fact that they are the largest family of snakes in terms of number of species. The family covers around one hundred species, including the most common types of snakes such as garter snakes, milk snakes, kingsnakes, rat snakes and more."

After an absence of more than a century, its range is again extending into southern Minnesota. Identification General description: The otter is perfectly suited for an aquatic life. Long and sleek, it has short legs, webbed feet, and a long tapered tail. The fur is a rich brown, moderately short, and very dense. Length: Adult river otters are about four to five and one-half feet long, including its 18-inch tail. Weight: Adult otters weigh up to 30 pounds, though 15 to 19 pounds is average. Color: The back and sides are glossy dark brown to black, and the underside, throat, and cheeks are gray-white. Reproduction As is common with members of the family Mustelidae, otters have a long period of \"\"delayed implantation.\"\""

"text": "Nothing is cuter than a puppy. But did you know that dogs aren’t the only animals with pups? Other species (even some that are not members of the canine family) have young that are also called pups. Many of these animals can be found across our nation’s public lands. From wildlife refuges and national monuments to wildernesses and national parks, public lands provide a vital habitat for wildlife. So on March 23 to celebrate National Puppy Day, we’re featuring some of our favorite pups that you can find on our public lands. Dog Pup These cute pups are part of the sled dog team at Denali -- the only national park in the U. S. with working dogs. Sled dogs have an essential role in the life and culture of Alaska, and Denali’s team helps protect a national park and the wildlife, scenery and wilderness therein. Visit Denali’s website to meet the park’s canine rangers. This photo from last September shows three puppies -- Cupcake, Pinata, and Party -- in Denali’s “Birthday” litter."

They include the various marine mammals who dwell in oceans, as well as various freshwater species, such as the European otter. They are not a taxon and are not unified by any distinct biological grouping, but rather their dependence on and integral relation to aquatic ecosystems. The level of dependence on aquatic life are vastly different among species, with the Amazonian manatee and river dolphins being completely aquatic and fully dependent on aquatic ecosystems; whereas the Baikal seal feeds underwater but rests, molts, and breeds on land; and the capybara and hippopotamus are able to venture in and out of water in search of food. Mammal adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle vary considerably between species. River dolphins and manatees are both fully aquatic and therefore are completely tethered to a life in the water. Seals are semiaquatic; they spend the majority of their time in the water, but need to return to land for important activities such as mating, breeding and molting. In contrast, many other aquatic mammals, such as rhinoceroses, capybara, and water shrews, are much less adapted to aquatic living. Likewise, their diet ranges considerably as well, anywhere from aquatic plants and leaves to small fish and crustaceans. They play major roles in maintaining aquatic ecosystems, beavers especially."

Meriwether Lewis The Lewis and Jefferson families were long-time neighbors and family friends. Meriwether Lewis served as Thomas Jefferson’s personal aide prior to the expedition. Lewis had a lifetime’s experience as an outdoorsman, hunter and herbal medicine expert, all facts of which Jefferson was aware and influenced his decision to choose him as Corps leader. While at the Great Falls of the Missouri River, Lewis reflected on how, at age 31, he felt he had not accomplished much in the way of aiding the advancement of the human race. In September 1809, Lewis set out for Washington D. C. to answer complaints about his actions as governor. On the way, he stopped at an inn called Grinder's Stand, about 70 miles (110 km) from Nashville, Tennessee on the Natchez Trace on October 10, 1809. The next morning, servants found Lewis badly injured from multiple gunshot wounds. He died shortly after sunrise. While modern historians generally accept his death as a suicide, there is some debate."

It is the longest member of the Mustelidae, or weasel family, a globally successful group of predators, reaching up to 1.7 metres (5.6 ft). Atypical of mustelids, the giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to eight members. The groups are centered on a dominant breeding pair and are extremely cohesive and cooperative. Although generally peaceful, the species is territorial, and aggression has been observed between groups. The giant otter is diurnal, being active exclusively during daylight hours. It is the noisiest otter species, and distinct vocalisations have been documented that indicate alarm, aggression and reassurance. The giant otter ranges across north-central South America; it lives mostly in and along the Amazon River and in the Pantanal. Its distribution has been greatly reduced and is now discontinuous. Decades of poaching for its velvety pelt, peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, considerably diminished population numbers."

Once an insecticide concentrate has been mixed with water it should be used within a few hours. You can actually lose 50% of your pesticide solution within 24 to 48 hours after mixing. The PH of water will break down your pesticide material quickly. This means that a ready mixed product probably does not contain as much active ingredient as its label states. Wettable powders are not only destroyed by \"\"sitting\"\" in water (as with other pesticides) but they will also settle out with the bulk of the material settling to the bottom of your spray tank.

"text": "Cockroaches are most active at night, making the cockroach a nocturnal insect. Cockroaches prefer hiding and living in dark, moist areas throughout your house. Areas such as behind your fridge, sink, and other major appliances tend to appeal to cockroaches, and with their ability to flatten their bodies to fit in small areas, cockroaches can also be found within cracks in your walls. Learn to spot undeniable signs of cockroaches and help protect your home and family from disease and infestation. The faster a pest management specialist can get inside and begin attacking the problem, the faster you can regain control over your own home and well-being. Here are the top four signs of roaches that you need to know: Physically seeing a roach The most obvious sign you have a roach problem is actually seeing one. The best time to spot roaches is during the night since they are nocturnal insects. You’ll typically see them scatter after you enter a room and turn on a light. If you spot roaches during the daytime, it can mean the infestation has been going on for some time or that it has progressed to the point where drastic action must be taken immediately. If possible, roaches remain hidden during the day, but overcrowding and a lack of food sources can cause them to brave the daylight in order to survive."

"text": "\"Roach bait From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Roach bait is a modern pest control used for the extermination of cockroaches at indoor locations. The effectiveness of this method of pest control exploits the cannibalistic, coprophagic, and emetophagic tendencies of cockroaches. Contents [ hide ]1 Mechanism2 Baits3 Cockroach infestations3.1 Secondary transmission of toxic baits3.2 Active ingredients3.2.1 Fipronil3.2.2 Hydramethylnon3.3 Boric acid4 Bait placement5 Footnotes Mechanism [ edit]Cockroaches live in nests. Therefore, killing a few roaches that happen to wander into a trap is an inadequate means of controlling the pest. Even if all adult roaches outside the nest are killed, some live eggs will remain in the nest and eventually hatch, leading to exponential growth. Baits [ edit]Baits come in a variety of types, as liquid, gel, or solid. Brand names include: Pro Roach Gel Advance Roach Force Gel Avert Advion Baygon Combat Hot Shot Invict Gold Maxforce Raid Siege Soberbio Veto Cockroach infestations [ edit]The main problem with controlling infestations of cockroaches is ensuring that enough insecticide gets to a sufficiently large proportion of the population to effect control. Cockroach infestations have been treated with insecticidal sprays, dusts, gels, sand baits, etc. Cockroach bait may consist of simple poisons, killing from direct feeding only, to the latest insecticides which use delayed transferred toxic action, which can reach a sufficiently high proportion of the cockroach population to achieve effective control in a short period of time. Secondary transmission of toxic baits [ edit]Cockroaches eat the feces of other roaches and they feed on each other."

Cockroaches can transport disease by carting it on their backs and bodies from dirty areas to clean areas, making them a serious health risk. Some of the commercially available methods used to eradicate cockroaches can be dangerous, chemical-laden, and unsafe for pets and people if they come in contact with the poisons. There are, however, several natural remedies that are effective, inexpensive and non-invasive. Remedies to Try Borax is lethal to roaches, and relatively safe for people and pets. It is dangerous, however, if ingested; use extreme caution when placing borax around your home if you have pets or little ones. Borax is a laundry detergent made from the salt of boric acid.

They are the smallest species of Tegu, they generally max out at 3-3.5 ft (males being bigger than females) and are usually light bodied. They are agile and very powerful. They are also referred as the common Tegu, Colombian Tegu and Colombian black and gold Tegu. Temperatures Columbian tegu’s come from a much hotter climate than their Argentine cousins, so unlike the Argentines they do not hibernate over the winter. They may go into a mild brumation. For babies I would suggest a temperature of around 110f for basking temperatures, this should get the hot side to around 95f. Tegu’s should always have somewhere to cool down, so the cool side of the enclosure should be from 75-80f. The only thing I would change for adults is the basking temperature, I have mine at around 130f, anything from 120-135f is perfectly fine. To reach these temperatures I use par38’s a row of 2 50 w’s from a height of around 12” would heat it nicely."

Obviously the heat can also cause extreme dehydration, which is very dangerous. Be on the lookout for listlessness in your pet rabbit. If he is not moving, or if he is panting or acting abnormally please seek medical help for him as soon as possible. Avoid shocking his system by extreme changes in temperature such as submerging him in cold water ever or by dousing his ears if not well.

Over a period of time, most of us have built up a few waste products that are acidic in nature. It is not wise to dispose of these things by just pouring them out on the ground to wash away with the next rain. In most places, it is in fact now against the law to dispose of these products in that manner. Gather together all the acid you need to dispose of and put on some sort of concrete pad. The high acidity may harm grass and soil, so try to do this in your driveway or on the patio outside. If you have batteries to dispose of, pour the acid out of the battery into a plastic container that will not break down in acid. If you are unsure, pour just a little in the container and see if there is any reaction before emptying the whole battery. Use rubber gloves and goggles anytime you are dealing with highly concentrated acids. Acid is harmful to the skin if exposed and especially to the eyes."

I woke up and took a shower. As I emerged from the bathroom there he was. The biggest cockroach I'd ever seen. He must have been two inches long and an inch wide. Not only did he come towards me, he charged me. He charged me in a way that said, \"\"Get the hell out of my apartment\"\". Now while Matan Shelomi's answer certainly sounds good and his entomologist background probably means he's 100% right, I have another theory. Cockroaches are bad ass. Proof: Cockroaches are really persistent and so hardy that researchers found they were the only organisms that could survive in an area after atomic experiments, except for scorpions!High speed cameras revealed they can run as fast as 1m/s (it's like you moving at 140 m/s) and can change direction 25 times per second While most roaches prefer sweets given a choice, in a pinch, they will eat just about anything: glue, grease, soap, wallpaper paste, leather, bookbindings, or even hair."

You can hire an exterminator to kill or keep pests such as cockroaches, termites and rats at bay. Many companies either have technicians on staff or hire commercial pest control operators to keep their facilities clean and compliant with health codes and other regulations. While your house doesn't need to meet the same stringent codes a restaurant might, you likely want to keep your home safe from bugs and mice. Besides being general pests, termites, carpenter ants and other vermin can destroy the structural integrity of your home, making it unsafe for anyone to live in. What to Ask a Pest Control Company It's important to ask the right questions before hiring a pest control company. You need to know whether the exterminators do quality work and if they know the proper ways to kill pests without exposing you and your family to potentially harmful chemicals. Here's a list of questions you must ask any extermination company to ensure you hire the best people for the job: Are You Licensed? Pest control experts must be licensed in your state to do their work since they handle powerful pesticides and insecticides. Make sure the company you go with is registered with your state."

Both versions contain healthy fats that help reduce bad cholesterol levels, helping with blood pressure and keeping your heart healthy. Roasted almonds are produced by heating them to 100 to 200 degrees Celsius for 10 to 60 minutes, according to the University of California. In response to Salmonella outbreaks in raw almonds, the USDA requires that all almonds be sterilized by chemical and/or high temperature treatment, according to Food Consumer. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Taste The taste of almonds is important, and many people might prefer the smoky or salty taste of roasted almonds over the taste of raw almonds. The preference of roasted almonds may be attributed to the oil fats that are released during the roasting process. Raw almonds are also delicious and have the traditional almond taste as opposed to the roasted or cooked flavor of roasted nuts. Raw almonds do not have the intense taste of roasted almonds.

They were popular in the diets of ancient Egyptians and Indian populations. Ancient Indian Ayurvedic practitioners even believed that almonds were capable of increasing brain capacity, intellectual ability and longevity. Today, almonds nutrition benefits are praised around the world, and they are used in numerous different ways: eaten raw as a healthy snack; as the base ingredient in almond butter, almond milk or almond flour; and even in many body lotions and fragrances.

Almonds are low in saturated fatty acids, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and contain filling fiber, unique and protective phytosterol antioxidants as well as plant protein. And don’t fear the fat in almonds — almonds are actually beneficial when it comes to losing weight, despite their higher calorie content. One study even found that almonds consumed as snacks reduce hunger and desire to eat later in the day, and when dieters eat almonds daily they reduce their overall calorie intake. ( 1)Almonds Nutrition: The Facts Behind the Benefits Botanically, almonds (scientifically termed Prunus dulcis) are actually very small stone fruits in the Amygdalus family and related to other fruits that contain hard pits, including cherries, plums and peaches. Almonds are a type of drupe nut, which means along with other nuts like macadamias, pecans and walnuts, they have multiple layers that enclose a single, hard seed in the center."

Nuts are usually high in fat and protein, and people throughout the world eat them as snacks or incorporate them into both sweet and savory dishes. Many nuts can be eaten raw but roasting them helps intensify their flavor. Nuts are usually harvested in the fall, and it's best to buy unprocessed nuts then. Many unshelled nuts can be kept for up to a year in a cool place, but shelled nuts, especially those that have been cut or roasted, are more prone to rancidity and should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.

Before they can be eaten, most acorns need to be treated to remove the bitter tannins in them. To do this, boil whole shelled acorns in water, replacing the water with fresh boiling water whenever it turns light brown.

When it was first developed, muesli was typically a dry cereal made from toasted whole oats, nuts, fruit and wheat flakes. Now, you can find many versions, including gluten -free muesli, fresh muesli (soaked overnight in water or fruit juice to soften), toasted or untoasted muesli, and its close cousin: granola. Depending on how the muesli is made, it's often more natural and contains less calories and sugar than granola, which usually has more added syrup to aid in the toasting. What are the nutritional benefits of muesli? Muesli typically has less sugar and calories than most breakfast cereals on supermarket shelves. It's high in fiber and whole grains, which regulate the digestive system, are filling and can aid in weight control. Muesli is a potent source of antioxidants. The addition of nuts provides a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids (especially walnuts)."

"text": "\"Cancer Fighting Food Healthy nuts and seeds you should eat every day Newsflash! Nuts and seeds are super healthy and most of us aren’t eating enough of them. They are a great natural source of vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, and fiber. I’ve eaten tons of nuts and seeds as part of my anti-cancer diet since January 2004 and I think you should too. Depending on whose list you read, the number one healthiest nut is either the almond or the walnut, but there’s no way to really rank them. The “healthiest nut” is the one with the nutrients your body needs most on a given day. Of course no one knows which one that is. So the best strategy is to eat a variety. Here are the top healthiest nuts: Almonds have as much calcium as milk, and contain magnesium, vitamin E, selenium and lots of fiber. They can lower cholesterol and help prevent cancer."

Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and stabilizing your mood. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. But by using these simple tips, you can cut through the confusion and learn how to create a tasty, varied, and nutritious diet that is as good for your mind as it is for your body. How can healthy eating improve your mood? We all know that eating right can help you maintain a healthy weight and avoid certain health problems, but your diet can also have a profound effect on your mood and sense of wellbeing. Studies have linked eating a typical Western diet—filled with processed meats, packaged meals, takeout food, and sugary snacks—with higher rates of depression, stress, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Eating an unhealthy diet may even play a role in the development of mental health disorders such as ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia, or in the increased risk of suicide in young people. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, cooking meals at home, and reducing your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, may help to improve mood and lower your risk for mental health issues."

The Mediterranean diet, which puts an emphasis on healthy fats and unprocessed foods, offers several nutritional and health benefits and provides a flexible and easy-to-follow way to stay healthy. It incorporates healthy foods from every food group, so you can easily stick to the diet while eating nutritious fare you love. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Mediterranean Diet and Health Following the Mediterranean diet helps your waistline and your overall health. It lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and protects you from type-2 diabetes, and foods you'll eat on the diet -- like fruits, vegetables and whole grains -- also help you maintain a healthy weight. The Mediterranean diet also keeps your mind sharp as you age. Many people experience a decline in cognitive function -- which includes learning, memory and problem-solving -- as they age. But people who follow the Mediterranean diet tend to experience a slower rate of cognitive decline, explains Harvard Medical School. The bottom line: Following the Mediterranean diet helps keep your body and mind healthy as you age so that you can maintain the healthy, active lifestyle you enjoy. Nutritious Fruits and Vegetables Fruits and veggies form the basis of the Mediterranean diet, and you'll eat seven to 10 servings per day."

Store roasted pistachios in the refrigerator or freezer to prolong their shelf life. They can also be kept short-term in a cool, dry place such as a pantry. Tips Dry-roasted pistachios do not have to be stored in a refrigerator, although keeping them cold prolongs their shelf life. Stored properly in a pantry, they'll last up to six months. Pantry Storage Stored in a pantry or other cool, dark and dry place, a package of dry-roasted pistachios stays fresh for about six months; potentially even a few months longer. Check an unopened package for a \"\"use by\"\" date to ensure the nuts aren't already old when you purchase them. This stamped date is a good starting point to gauge how much longer the nuts can be kept at room temperature. The key to keeping dry-roasted pistachios in a pantry is to ensure they are not exposed to heat during storage."

There are many strategies to improve your sleep, including setting a consistent bedtime, engaging in a bedtime ritual, turning off computer or phone screens 30 minutes before bed, and avoiding caffeine or alcohol (National Sleep Foundation, n.d.). Additionally, the foods you eat can help you sleep. Certain foods increase the levels of natural compounds that send sleepiness signals to your brain. Natural Compounds in Food that Promote Healthy Sleep Sleep is a complex physiological event that consists of several stages, each with its own unique features and physiological processes. As such, certain biological compounds affect our ability to enter the state of sleep. Perhaps the best known is tryptophan, the compound in turkey that makes you tired."

"text": "\"The Nutty Affair: Which Nuts Should You Have Daily and How Many? Rachael Francis | Updated: August 16, 2017 15:20 ISTTweeter facebook Google Plus Reddit Nuts form a significant part of everyday diet for most of us. From consuming a fistful of them as a mid-day snack or sprinkling them over your favourite dessert, they provide the right amount of crunchiness to every meal. Even when on the go, a delicious salad tossed with some pine nuts or a hearty lunch of an Indian curry made from a creamy cashew paste, they undoubtedly lend a certain depth of flavour and richness to the dishes. For some it is a ritual to start the day with a bowl of yoghurt topped with a handful of almonds, or reenergize by gulping down a tall glass of badaam ka sharbat . It is definitely true that including nuts in your meal can do great wonders for you - they are a powerhouse of energy, full of natural fibre, proteins, minerals and even unsaturated fats. However, despite the myriad benefits, most people are afraid to consume them because of the precarious myth that they are full of calories. On the contrary, many studies reveal they can accelerate weight loss, lower your risk of higher cholesterol and even make your heart healthier. The secret behind reaping those benefits is having the right 'portion'. Get this right and you'll be munching away to a healthier you!According to Dr. Ritika Samaddar, Dietics, Max Hospital, \"\"The American research suggests that a person should consume one ounce of nuts per day."

"text": "Healthy Living Eating Almonds Daily Curbs Appetite Without Making You Gain Weight: The Benefits Of Healthy Snacking Oct 9, 2013 04:25 PM By Lizette Borreli @lizcelineb [email protected] The daily consumption of almonds is found to curb appetite without leading to weight gain. Merdal, CC BY-SA 3.0Share Tweet Share E-mail The sounds of a grumbling stomach is often a signal to dash into the kitchen and reach into the pantry to find a snack to satisfy your hunger pangs. These moments of hunger probably happen pretty often — 97 percent of Americans consume at least one snack per day, USA Today reports. While most people snack on unhealthy foods like chips and crackers, snacking in-and-of-itself doesn’t need to be unhealthy. In fact, snacks can be a great way to get in extra nutrition and help prevent unhealthy eating habits. Almonds, for example, have been found to curb appetite as well as improve dietary vitamin E and good fat intake, all without increasing body weight, according to a recent study. One of the best things about almonds is they fill you up, because of their high fiber and protein contents. A one ounce serving of almonds contains six grams of protein, or 10 percent of the daily value in a 2,000-calorie diet. Protein is key because its better at making you feel full than fat or carbohydrates, says the National Dairy Council. In addition to protein, the fiber content in almonds manipulates the body into feeling full by soaking up the stomach’s water and fat."

Where the almonds come from that are in that can, jar or package may vary considerably, but most likely they're from California, the top producer of almonds in the entire world. Where Do Almonds Come From Almonds (Prunis dulcis) are the fruits of the almond tree. Although you'll find them in the nut aisle at the store, the scientific name for the delicious treat is a drupe, or the seed of an undeveloped fruit. The answer to, \"\"Where do almonds come from?\"\" is actually the Middle East, but the almonds on your table may hail from the United States, Europe, Africa or the Middle East. Almond History Almond trees may be found throughout the Middle East, but especially Syria, Israel, Turkey and Pakistan. Since ancient times, people have cultivated the almond tree for its seeds or nuts. Humans carried almond seeds with them and spread the trees far and wide."

[ 1] Drowned in Sound writer Alex Denney, commented that \"\"A-Punk\"\" was not the best song from their debut album due to it being \"\"a little too uptempo to let their disarmingly clever melodies breathe\"\", but stated \"\"for the flute-aping synths and bottled-sunshine guitars alone you need this in your life.\"\" [ 2] The review from Greg Rose of Gigwise, was mixed. Rose said that although the song lacked originality, it \"\"manages to sound unique\"\" due to the lyrical inventiveness of lines by Ezra Koenig such as, \"\"His honor drove southward seeking exotica/cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas\"\", which were described as being \"\"perky\"\" and gave the song \"\"a buzzing zip.\"\" [ 3]Prefix magazine writer, Jeff Klingman, said the song's \"\"cool organ breeze and a shifting drum beat save the day\"\", preventing \"\"too much snark from being slung at their New York Times featured, digitally distributed exclusively by Other Music, Columbia University, golden boy asses.\"\" [ 4] In reference to \"\"A-Punk\"\", The Times writer Ben Blackmore, said, \"\"Do believe the hype.\"\" [ 5]In October 2011, NME placed it at number 62 on its list \"\"150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years\"\".

Sign: Sun in Aries, Moon in Scorpio Education: Expelled from Kingston College of Art Relations: Wife : Melia Mc Enery; Ex-wife: Pattie Boyd Harrison; Son: Conor (deceased); Daughters : Ruth Patricia-Clapton (Born 11th Jan 1985); Julie Rose Clapton (Born 15th Jun 2001), Ella Mae Clapton (Born 14th Jan 2003), Sophie Clapton (Born 1st Feb 2005)IN the late 1960s, one of the most prominent pieces of graffiti seen in London and New York was \"\"Clapton is God.\"\" Thirty years later, the stalwart guitarist and singer continues to hold the initiated enthralled, and a fair share of his present-day fans weren't even born when those words of worship were emblazoned on public edifices. Clapton's meandering and groundbreaking musical career has been punctuated by extreme personal hardship and tragedy. Through the emotional truth of his music, he has sought refuge and release from the suffering of drug and alcohol addiction, personal relationships gone awry, and the deaths of several loved ones. Eric Patrick Clapton was born on March 30, 1945, in his grandparent's house at 1, The Green, Ripley, Surrey, England. He was the illegitimate son of Patricia Molly Clapton and Edward Fryer, a Canadian soldier stationed in England. After W. W. II Fryer returned to his wife in Canada, Patricia left Eric in the custody of his grandparents, Rose and Jack Clapp. ( The surname Clapton is from Rose's first husband, Reginald Cecil Clapton.) Patricia moved to Germany where she eventually married another Canadian soldier, Frank Mc Donald. Young Ricky (that's what his grandparent's called him) was a quiet and polite child, an above average student with an aptitude for art."

He is recognised for his eccentric stage persona, wide tenor vocal range, and piano and guitar abilities. [ 1] [2]Many Muse songs are recognizable by Bellamy's use of vibrato, falsetto, and melismatic phrasing, influenced by Jeff Buckley. [ 3] As a guitarist, Bellamy often uses the arpeggiator and pitch-shift effects to create a more \"\"electronic\"\" sound, citing Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello as influences. [ 4] His guitar playing is also influenced by a more classical harmonic aesthetic, particularly the style of Latin and Spanish guitar music. [ 5] His lyrics often incorporate political and dystopian themes. Muse have won numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, winning the Grammys for Best Rock Album for The Resistance and Drones, two Brit Awards, winning Best British Live Act twice, five MTV Europe Music Awards and eight NME Awards. They have sold over 20 million albums worldwide. [ 6]. In 2012 the band received the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

"text": "\"The 10 most metal games of all time By Ashley Reed March 13, 2015 News Comments Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity In many ways video games and heavy metal go hand in hand, at least when their digits arent occupied with a multiplayer match and/or mind-melting guitar solo. A huge number of games revel in the savagery metal is known for, letting you eviscerate armies of enemies just as soundly as fierce riffs eviscerate mortal souls. Games like Gears of War, Manhunt, Dead Space, and Postal are all examples of carnage, violence, and destruction, so they're totally metal, right? Well not really, actually. While brutality is the lifeblood of heavy metal, a game without a defiant soul and gloriously overblown theatrics is like a lead singer without long, raven-black locks. To be truly metal takes passion, nerve, a black hole of rage deep in the soul, and an incoherent roaring voice that can clear the stratosphere. But most of all it needs that indescribable spark, and when you look at it you just know that's metal as hell. That's a much taller order, and few games can live up to it, but I've combed the internet and found the most metal games ever for your raging pleasure. Go forth, metalheads. GO FORTH AND READ."

The television program centers on the larger-than-life melodic death metal band Dethklok, and often portrays dark and macabre content, including such subjects as violence, death, and the drawbacks of fame, with hyperbolic black comedy. The show is widely heralded as both a parody and a pastiche of heavy metal culture. The music, written by guitarist/creator Brendon Small, is credited to the band and featured in most episodes. The animation is often carefully synced to the music with the chord positions and fingering of the guitar parts shown in some detail. [ 3]A one-hour special entitled Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem was released on October 27, 2013."

A non-deductible traditional IRA is a traditional IRA that was funded using after-tax dollars. A traditional IRA can be funded by a combination of deductible and non-deductible dollars, depending upon applicable employer policies and IRS regulations.

What remains is the nondeductible contribution.

"text": "\"Traditional IRA ownership can add a new wrinkle to prepping your income tax return. Because contributions are tax-deductible, you have to report them when you file. If you happen to file before you make your IRA contribution, don't stress. The situation can be remedied. IRA Contribution Deadline For any IRA -- traditional or Roth -- the deadline for making contributions, as well as for opening an account, is the tax-filing deadline for that year, usually April 15. So, if you want to deduct contributions for tax year 2012, you have to put the money in the account by April 15, 2013. Amended Return Should you happen to file your taxes well before April 15, in February, for example, and later elect to make an IRA contribution, there is hope. You or your accountant can file an amended return -- Form 1040X for most filers -- that does include the IRA contribution. Just to be clear, adding the amount of the contribution to your return means recalculating your modified adjusted gross income and adjusting the amount of your tax or refund accordingly. Yearly Contribution Limit The yearly IRA contribution limit applies to each owner-taxpayer."

Zurndorfer, Certified Financial Planner The tax treatment of a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) participant's withdrawal depends in part on the \"\"type\"\" of money that the participant has in their TSP account. A TSP account may consist of a traditional TSP balance, a Roth TSP balance, or both. Traditional TSP Balanceemployee contributions via payroll deductions (deducted from an employee's before-tax salary) that have been designated as traditional TSP contributions;earnings that have accrued on traditional contributions through the years;automatic one percent of gross pay contributions and accrued earnings on the one percent contribution that applies to employees covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS);TSP matching contributions and accrued earnings for FERS-covered employees; androllovers into the traditional TSP account from qualified retirement plans, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, and traditional deductible IRAs.

Tax Information with Respect to Traditional TSP vs. Roth TSP Contributions and Earnings A traditional TSP account participant has not paid taxes on both the contributions and the accrued earnings in the account. As such, the participant will owe tax on both the contributions and accrued earnings when they are received through a traditional TSP distribution or payment. A participant may continue to defer taxes on the account by directly transferring or rolling over the payments to a traditional IRA or to an eligible employer retirement plan. A participant who has a Roth TSP account has already paid taxes on contributions to the Roth account. No taxes will therefore be owed on those contributions when the participant receives a distribution or payment from the Roth TSP account. The tax treatment of withdrawn earnings in a Roth TSP account depends on whether the distribution is a \"\"qualified\"\" distribution which means that the entire Roth TSP distribution is tax-free."

"text": "What is a Roth IRA Conversion and How does it Work? April 24, 2011 by Justin Simply put… Roth IRA conversion is the process transferring of your money from a Traditional IRA or 401k plan into a Roth IRA. Rollovers into a Roth IRA from a Traditional IRA and 401k plans came to the forefront in 2010 due to a change in the tax law. Before 2010, the tax law stated that to make a rollover into a Roth IRA, the worker had to have Adjusted Gross Income of $100,000 or less. Since it was mostly the higher paid workers who were interested in doing rollovers into a Roth IRA, the subject was rather dead until 2010. In 2010, a revision to the tax code eliminated the earnings limitation on rollovers from Traditional IRAs and 401k plans to a Roth IRA. This prompted a deluge of articles being written by knowledgeable, and some not so knowledgeable, people on why you should do a Roth Conversion or 401k conversion. As a result, everyone, including lower paid workers, suddenly became interested in doing a conversion. To understand why you would want to do a Roth IRA conversion, you need to understand the tax status of contributions you have already made into a Traditional IRA or 401k plan, and how that would change in a Roth IRA plan. Current Tax Status of Your Retirement Plans: Your contributions to a Traditional IRA or 401k have been made with Before- Tax dollars."

Share IRAs Answers Sort By: Most Helpful September 2016+ Follow Brein, Josh Bellevue, WAwww. Brein Wealth Management.com69 % of people found this answer helpful Great Question,One way to contribute to a Roth IRA, if you make more income than the limits allow, is to utilize a back-door Roth IRA conversion. Sound complicated? A little bit, but in theory, this process is actually pretty simple. First thing, although there are income limitations to funding a Roth IRA, there are no income limitations to converting to a Roth IRA. So if you were to contribute to a traditional IRA, which does not have contribution rules that are determined by your income, in theory, you could convert to a Roth IRA and all you have to do is pay taxes on the full amount of the conversion which could be up to $6500 (depending on your age). Once you have converted your IRA to a Roth IRA you will have to pay taxes on the conversion, but moving forward, your growth and your distributions from the Roth IRA will be tax-free. The Roth IRA conversion is a commonly used strategy for those that earn an income which is above the asset limits for contributing to a Roth IRA. Here's a great article from here on Investopedia going into a little bit more detail about Roth IRAs and their contribution limits:http://www.investopedia.com/university/retirementplans/rothira/rothira2.asp This is also a great article with a video from here on Investopedia which goes into some very good detail about Roth conversions that is definitely worth taking a look at: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/040815/converting-traditional-ira-savings-roth-ira.asp Good Luck!-Josh Brein Schedule Consultation Was this answer helpful?"

Unlike most health insurance, the high deductible health plan pays nothing except for preventive care until you meet a fairly high deductible. The plan may make its own contribution to the HSA in order to reduce your potential out-of-pocket costs. Tax considerations Unlike many other tax deductions, there are no income restrictions to contribute to an HSA. Contributions to an HSA reduce your federal adjusted gross income (AGI) dollar for dollar, possibly making you eligible for income-based credits or Roth IRA contributions you would not otherwise be eligible for without the HSA deduction. If your employer allows it, you can make your own contributions through pre-tax payroll deduction; this has the potential advantage that these contributions, like pre-tax insurance premiums, are not subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes, so long as the plan is classified as a Section 125 or \"\"cafeteria\"\" plan. Often, if you are below the Social Security wage base, it is only break-even or worse to use the payroll deduction because the reduced Social Security benefits cost more than the tax savings. ["

"text": "\"Home » Retirement Pension Rollover Rulesby Dale Bye; Updated March 31, 2018If you plan to take a lump sum from your company's defined benefit pension plan and roll it into an IRA instead of scheduling periodic payments for the rest of your life, make sure you know the rollover rules from the Internal Revenue Service. A misstep could cost you unnecessary tax liabilities or force you to follow extra procedures to protect the retirement assets you've earned. Rollover Option You can roll over only a lump sum payment. Monthly or other periodic lifetime pension payments typically end with your death or, depending on your plan's options, with your spouse's death. There are no rollover possibilities for periodic payments, and you cannot count them as earned income to qualify for deductible IRA contributions. By choosing the lump sum, your pension may become part of your estate. Rolling over a lump sum payment into a self-directed traditional IRA allows flexibility in investment selection and governing your income stream, plus you'll gain tax-deferred compounding. However, you'll also add investment risk. Direct Rollover A lump sum pension payment will be taxed as ordinary income the year it's paid unless you roll it over into a traditional IRA or another qualified retirement plan. Even if you opt for an IRA rollover, 20 percent of your payout may be withheld unless you opt for a direct rollover rather than taking the money yourself for redeposit into your IRA."

The New Account Application for the firm that will receive my current IRA allows for four types of IRAs -- Traditional, Rollover, Roth, or SEP -- and I must check one of these boxes. It seems to me that over the years, the difference between a Traditional IRA and a Rollover IRA has become blurred to the point where in many situations, there might be no difference whether the account is designated as a Traditional vs. Rollover IRA, because both of these account designations accept 401 (k) rollovers, both accept deductible and non-deductible $5,000/6,000 contributions, etc. Can you think of any situation where it would matter whether I checked the Traditional vs. the Rollover box ... for example, if I checked the wrong box I would lose the ability to do something in the future, etc. I can't think of any situation in which it matters which box I check, yet there must be a difference or the brokerage firm wouldn't make a distinction between the two types of IRAs on their New Account Application. Thank you!Re: Traditional IRA vs. Rollover IRASubmitted by alan-oniras@yah... on Thu, 2012-09-06 15:56There are 3 advantages a rollover IRA has over a non rollover traditional IRA, but they won't matter for most people. 1) Some employer plans that accept in coming rollovers from IRAs restrict those to rollover IRAs because they think there is less chance of receiving IRA basis with this restriction 2) Creditor protection - in states that do not fully protect IRA accounts, the federal bankruptcy protection is limited to 1mm for non rollover IRAs and is unlimited for rollover IRAs 3) For a taxpayer born before 1/2/1936, their 10 year tax option and cap gains option remain if their plan accepted an incoming rollover IRA, but not a non rollover IRA. There is little consistency in how IRA custodians treat the \"\"rollover\"\" title after opening the account. Many will not delete the \"\"rollover\"\" if the taxpayer rolls a non rollover IRA into the account or makes a regular contribution to the account. They should, because a rollover IRA (formerly called a conduit IRA) is meant to reflect an IRA that only holds funds transferred from an employer plan."

By KC Petty Home Inspector with Accurate Home inspection Atlanta Email Short URLShare: February 08, 2010 07:20 AMWhat are the benefits of using H-clips? H-clips increase panel stiffness by allowing distribution of weight between adjacent panels. A panel is less likely to deflect when subjected to a heavy load near its edges if it is made stiffer. This stiffening is particularly helpful for very thin panels (such as 3/8\"\" inch) that are especially prone to bowing under heavy weight near their edges. The use of H-clips reduces the amount of required materials and lowers the cost of construction. A builder who uses H-clips may need fewer rafters to complete a project because the distance between them can be increased. H-clips may also allow builders to use thinner sheathing than they otherwise would be permitted to use. In either case, the cost of the job is reduced. H-clips do not prevent wooden panels from buckling or warping."

Options include double-stud walls, 2x6 walls with rigid foam on the exterior, and structural insulated panels. Now he has to figure out which one makes the most sense for his Cape-style home in New England. \"\" So many options, so little time,\"\" he writes in his Q&A post. \"\" I'd also like to avoid (as much as I can) petrochemical-based products and use as many natural and/or recycled products as possible,\"\" Holscher adds. \"\" I understand the argument that using foam insulation in the end saves more oil than is used to produce it, but if I can get equal or better results using natural/recycled, all the better. \"\""

But, the nails have to go thru the 1/2\"\" CDX.

( unless you live in one of those areas where they're required. ) If you're worried about the issue with the thickness of the plywood, can you get longer nails? When I was in Iowa, the straps I used were about 5 inches long, with a half twist. so, you're right, they wouldn't catch very much of the top cord if used on the inside."

"text": "\"There are many reasons for a homeowner to want to change the pitch or slope of a roof. Flat or low-slope roofs may develop leaks because of poor drainage. An existing roof may not provide enough attic space for storage. An addition may look better with a higher pitch on the old part of the house. Whatever the reason, changing the pitch on a roof requires removing at least some of the roofing and a significant alteration will involve changing the basic framing by installing new rafters or trusses. It requires good carpentry and roofing skills. Flat or Low-Slope1Alter the pitch on a flat or low-slope roof with some type of rigid foam insulation; at least two different types are made in sloped panels. Remove the existing roof covering down to the underlying wood sheathing. Make sure the sheathing is solid and remove any protruding nails. Repair any broken or water-damaged sheathing.2Install rigid foam panels with various tapers and thicknesses; insulation panels generally vary from slopes of from 1/8 to 1/2 inch per foot, with sheets butted together to cover the length of the roof."

Installed properly, slate roofs require relatively little maintenance and will last 60 to 125 years or longer depending on the type of slate employed, roof configuration, and the geographical location of the property. Some slates have been known to last over 200 years. Found on virtually every class of structure, slate roofs are perhaps most often associated with institutional, ecclesiastical, and government buildings, where longevity is an especially important consideration in material choices. In the slate quarrying regions of the country, where supply is abundant, slate was often used on farm and agricultural buildings as well. Although slate replacement roofs are expensive, the superiority of materials and craftsmanship will give years of continued service."

Initially I was going to fit foam board in between the rafters and give no kind of attic or ventilation space, but then I was made aware that the roof needs to \"\"breathe\"\", or else it would sweat and the rafters would rot out. I've also heard that if foam board is tight and sealed properly, roof sweating is no issue. So first of all, I want to know if ventilation space is required for foam board? If so, I'm wondering how? At the top of the roof, I have both a copula and ridge vent. If I was to create some kind of ventilation space, what I was going to assume to do was run the insulation under the rafter ties, about 1' down and 1' wide, and leave that open space. Then I would run the rest flush with the ceiling.

This Project Guide is a combination of those two articles, and it covers replacing the existing roof decking, installing underlayment and ice dam protection, laying the first row, laying shingles in the field, flashing, ridge shingles and vents, and more. This how-to is a great resource for anyone looking to shingle a roof or better understand what to expect of a roofing contractor. We want to thanks readers like Jeff Williams, Reuben, David P., Mike, Perry and R. W. H. for your comments and emails. Your feedback and insights help make these Project Guides even more comprehensive. We’ve included several suggestions for tackling certain aspects differently to ensure readers are fully informed for the best possible results. Safety Safety is a very important consideration for a roofing project, and you can read the OSHA fall protection guidelines here. To be OSHA compliant for low slope roofing projects, each crew member should be protected by guardrail system, safety net system, or a personal fall arrest system. You might notice that the guys in these pictures are not tied-off, and that’s a dangerous risk. We recommend following the guidelines to ensure a safe work site."

Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable, more comfortable environment on the interior side. The siding material and style also can enhance or detract from the building's beauty. There is a wide and expanding variety of materials to side with, both natural and artificial, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Masonry walls as such do not require siding, but any wall can be sided. Walls that are internally framed, whether with wood, or steel I-beams, however, must always be sided."

This series covers roof framing, roofing materials, the attic, and the conditions that affect the roofing materials and components, including wind and hail. UNDERLAYMENT AND INTERLAYMENTIn cold climate zones where ice dams are common, both shake and shingle roofs should have an ice barrier installed as eave protection along the lower roof edge. Even if shakes or shingles are installed on spaced sheathing, the roof deck beneath the ice barrier should be solid sheathing. Shakes and shingles have very different requirements regarding the installation of a water-resistant membrane in the field. Shingles Both the CSSB and the IRC recommend that shingles in the main portion of the roof have no underlayment installed due to concerns about moisture, especially condensation. The exception is where an ice barrier is required at the eave. The photo above shows a wood shingle roof which has had interlayment installed, which is a defective installation. This will slow drying, encourage distortion and decay, and cause the roof to fail prematurely. Interlayment is the installation of an underlayment (typically, felt paper) between each course of shingles."

We are told that they can be coated or painted to once again present a beautiful red Spanish style roof. What coating do you recommend to us in this case? A: The loss of color is not a warranted issue since our warranty covers all of the physical properties requirements but specifically excludes color. Fortunately, the strength and performance of the tiles are unaffected by this color loss.

And if the substantial cost could be reduced, legions of others would surely follow. The truth is, the price of a vinyl siding installation can be cut nearly in half if you're willing to do the work yourself. Vinyl siding is sold by most home centers and comes with fairly complete instructions. The tool requirements are also modest. While vinyl can be a great alternative to regular house paint, and it does a good job of dressing up problem walls, there is a tradeoff. Although it looks like conventional siding from a distance, the illusion falters at corners, windows, doors and wall-mounted utility equipment. Part of the design dilemma is that vinyl expands and contracts a good deal with changes in temperature. A standard 12-ft. length can be 1/2 to 5/8 in."

The current industry standard wall – a 2x4 frame at 16-inch centers with double top plates, three stud corners, jack studs, cripples and double headers – is being replaced by a 2x6 frame at 24-inch centers with single top plates, two stud corners, no jack studs, no cripples and single headers (and in many cases no headers at all). 3It is cheaper and faster to build and saves energy. What is not to like? It is cheaper because it uses 5 to 10 percent less lumber (board-feet) and it is faster because it uses 30 percent fewer pieces. It saves energy because it provides a 60 percent deeper cavity (which allows 60 percent more cavity insulation) and because it reduces the framing factor from 25 percent to 15 percent. 4The framing elements are farther apart allowing easier installation of services – everything fits easier making the plumber and tin-basher happier – the electrician drills fewer holes and the insulator insulates faster because there are fewer cavities even though the cavities are wider and deeper. Everything lines up so the load paths are direct leading to fewer but stronger connections and the lines are cleaner so it just looks and feels better. 5Tastes great – less filling. Some of the advanced frame technology goes back to the very beginnings of framing – “in-line” framing or “stack” framing where everything lines up is not new ( Figure 1 )."

Eudicot is actually same as dicot - and it is not the same. It is quite new name for \"\" modern\"\" dicots. The plants that are not eudicots could be called paleodicots referring to their more primitive origin. eudicots and paleodicots have very little differences: main differences are in structure of pollen. To be exact, angiosperms (flowering plants) are divided to eight groups: Amborella,Nymphaeales,Austrobaileyales... Ceratophyllum,magnoliids (paleodicots),eudicots and monocots. This is quite complicated, I know, but angiosperm phylogeny has been under major constructions in last 10 years. check the tree of life: http://www.tolweb.org/Angiosperms But about major differences between theree groups you mentioned: monocots: - single cotyledon -vascular bundles irregularly distributed in cross section of the stem -parallel veins in the leaves -flower parts in multiples of three. -"

Often gardeners never see rose hips because the continuous pruning required to ensure a longer bloom cycle prevents them from forming. If you leave the last roses of the season in place you will be rewarded with rose hips, which can then by harvested and planted. The roses that result when started from seed will not be the same as the plant the seed was collected from, but it is still a fun and exciting challenge to undertake. Collect the rose hips after they have matured. They will change from green to orange or red and begin to have a slightly wrinkled appearance when they are ready to harvest. Shell the rose hips by splitting them open with a sharp knife. Fill a glass with water and 1 tsp. of bleach. Drop the rose seeds into the mixture and examine them."

The rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa) and its hybrids are relatively carefree members of the rose family, adaptable and hardy in challenging environments. They're long-lived plants that have few demands, yet possess the beautiful, fragrant, lasting blooming characteristic of the more delicate rose varieties. The rugged rugosa shrub rose instills even new gardeners with confidence. Rugosa Rose Species Rugosa rose is a deciduous shrub belonging to the Rosaceae family, native to Japan, Korea and China but cultivated widely in the U. S. and Canada, where several hybrids have been developed since its introduction. This shrub rose grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, with a dense, rounded form, in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 through 9. \"\" Rugosa\"\" means wrinkled in Latin, referring to the crinkly appearance of its dark green leaves. Characteristics The wild rugosa rose has single blooms, with five petals in a single row, while hybrid rugosa roses have double blooms -- numerous petals in an informal arrangement. The fragrant flowers come in white, pink, red and purple and the rose will bloom again when the spent blossoms are removed. Leaving the flowers results in edible, showy, red-orange rose hips that stay on the shrub."

"text": "Related Articles What Fruit Trees Have Thorns? Kinds of Plants With Thorns Types of Thorn Bushes What Kind of Citrus Tree Has Thorns? A wide variety of plants feature both thorns and fruit -- vines such as blackberry and gooseberry, many citrus trees, flowering quince, wild apples, cacti and roses. Thorns, spines or prickles are an evolutionary adaptive mechanism developed by plants to defend their fruits from grazing animals, ensuring reproduction and survival. Many of these are suitable for the home landscape as ornamentals and as edible, fruit-producing plants. Thorny Vines Blackberry and prickly gooseberry are two examples of fruiting vines that exhibit thorns. Both plants are native to North America and are adaptable to a wide range of soil types and growing conditions, given that they receive at least six hours of sun daily. The fruits of each can be eaten fresh when ripe. They can also be used in jams, jellies and preserves. Citrus Trees Many lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit trees feature thorns along their trunks, branches and twigs."

"text": "Home & Garden Gardening Protecting Roses from Winter Damage Protecting Roses from Winter Damage Generally, if you live where winter temperatures predictably reach 10 degrees F (–12 degrees C), many of the most popular roses — such as hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and climbers — need some kind of protection to survive the winter. Miniature roses and shrubs are generally somewhat hardier, with many shrub and species roses being hardier still. Luckily, protecting roses is not a difficult task. You can do it by covering the base of the plant with soil. Bundling up for a cold winter A rose properly prepared for cold weather is said to be hardened off. Most roses harden off by themselves during the gradual onset of fall and winter. During this time, the plant’s cell walls thicken as they prepare for dormancy. In many rose varieties, this process manifests itself by the canes taking on a purplish cast. Unfortunately, purple canes indicate the onset of dormancy only and don’t give much of an indication as to whether the variety is hardier than varieties that harden off without turning purple. The better care your roses receive throughout the growing season, the better chance they stand to get through the winter unscathed, or at least without too much damage."

What Is Rosehip Oil? Rosehip oil, sometimes called rose hip seed oil, can be obtained from wild rose (Rose moschata, Rosa rubignosa or Rosa canina) bushes, which grow in various areas around the world, including Europe and South Africa. 1 Not to be confused with rose essential oil, rose hip comes from the \"\"hips,\"\" the small fruits found behind the flowers, which are left once the roses have bloomed and lost their petals. Rosehip oil has a subtle woody smell — it doesn't have a rosy fragrance since it's not made from the flower. The color can range from a deep golden hue to a rich red-orange color to a light yellow color. This can be an indicator of quality: golden or reddish rosehip oil is cold-pressed, while light-colored ones may be heavily processed or obtained from an inferior source."

It was first brought to the United States in the 1860’s for use as root stock for ornamental roses. It was subsequently used as a “living fence” plant, as highway buffer vegetation, and in a variety of disturbed land reclamation programs. Soon, though, the invasive and destructive potential of this plant was recognized. Most states have placed multiflora rose on the “noxious weed” or “banned invasive” lists and are both preventing its sale and planting and also actively attempting to extirpate it from areas in which has become established. Range and Habitat Multiflora rose can be found throughout the United States except for the Rocky Mountain region, the extreme desert southwest, and most of the state of Florida. It grows rapidly in fields, pastures, roadsides, and sun-lit edges and spaces of a forest. It is especially common in forest sun gaps that are generated by fallen trees. Its rapid growth and tendency to form dense, monocultural thickets outcompetes and over-shades most native plants. Appearance, Pollination, Fruits and Seeds Multiflora rose is a perennial plant that grows in long (up to 15 feet), arching, thorny stems that are called “canes.”"

Rose oil and rose water are derived from the flowers and rose hips have many valuable properties. It is suspected that the rose was probably the very first flower from which rose oil and rose water were distilled; possibly in the 10th Century Persia. Today, most of the rose oils are still produced in that region of the world. A very large quantity of rose petals is needed to produce a very small quantity of oil. Thus, it is very costly. Thankfully only a small amount of rose oil is needed in therapeutic preparations. It is not used in its concentrated state, but rather in a carrier oil such as almond, jojoba, and grapeseed. Generally rose oil and rose water (a by-product of distillation) are used topically rather than internally; with the exception of aromatherapy. In this case the rose essence may be inhaled, via steam or diffusion."

I’m wondering how these contribution limits affect me. For example, if I was to open another traditional or Roth IRA account and fund it, would I be penalized for overcontributing? — Scott Saver Dear Scott, Yes, you would be penalized for overcontributing. You can have multiple accounts, but the combined IRA and Roth IRA contributions for a tax year can’t exceed the contribution limits for that year. Here’s how the IRS puts it in Publication 590, Individual Retirement Accounts: Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs. If contributions are made to both Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs established for your benefit, your contribution limit for Roth IRAs generally is the same as your limit would be if contributions were made only to Roth IRAs, but then reduced by all contributions for the year to all IRAs other than Roth IRAs. Employer contributions under a SEP or SIMPLE IRA plan do not affect this limit. This means that your contribution limit is the lesser of:$5,000 ($6,000 if you are age 50 or older) minus all contributions (other than employer contributions under a SEP or SIMPLE IRA plan) for the year to all IRAs other than Roth IRAs, or Your taxable compensation minus all contributions (other than employer contributions under a SEP or SIMPLE IRA plan) for the year to all IRAs other than Roth IRAs."

Now it's time for that next rite of passage: opening your first Individual Retirement Account. If you earned any money in 2013 - from a job or self-employment - you have until April 15 to open and contribute to an IRA for 2013. You can also make a contribution for 2014, assuming you will have earnings this year, any time through April 15 of next year. The best time to open an IRA is when you are young, but the process can seem daunting.

Although Roth IRA contributions themselves are not tax deductible, you can claim a Roth IRA tax credit or a claim a loss on a Roth IRA if you are eligible and meet certain requirements. If you're wondering how exactly that works, here are some details and scenarios to consider. Non-Deductible Roth IRA Contributions Unlike 401 (k) or Traditional IRA contributions, Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible. According to the Roth IRA funding rules established by the IRS, all your contributions must be made with after-tax dollars. For example, let's say you earn $40,000, and you're in the 25% tax bracket. If you want to make a $5,500 tax deductible 401k contribution, you'll put $5,500 in your 401 (k) first and then you pay your taxes, which leaves you with $25,875 (75% of $34,500). However, if you make a $5,500 non-deductible Roth IRA contribution, you'll pay your taxes first, which leaves you with $30,000 (75% of $40,000)."

These limits are adjusted each year to reflect changes in the cost of living due to inflation. For tax-year 2015, this limit is $18,000 for those under age 50, and $24,000 for those 50 and over. ["

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Joshua Kennon Updated April 30, 2017Here's a common question asked by investors everyday. Which is better: a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA? While both have their advantages and disadvantages, each are fantastic ways to save for your golden years, but in almost all apples-to-apples comparisons, the Roth IRA is going to win. Quite frankly, a Roth IRA is the closest thing to a perfect tax shelter you're probably ever going to find. So much so that almost anyone who qualifies should definitely consider adding a Roth IRA to their investment toolbox. Nevertheless, it is important that you understand the differences between the two accounts. Over the next five to ten minutes, let's examine both the Traditional IRA and the Roth IRA so you can get a better idea of how each one might fit within your overall portfolio. Both a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA Are Types of Accounts, Not Investments Think of both the Traditional IRA and the Roth IRA as a type of box. Many different assets can go inside of it - stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, index funds , money markets or certificates of deposit - but it's such a good deal, Congress limits the amount of money you can put into that box every year."

"text": "Home » Retirement IRA Phase-Out Limitsby Diane Kuriluk Because individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, offer a hefty tax savings, the Internal Revenue Service limits whether a person may contribute, and how much. If you are a high earner, the rules may exclude you from deducting a traditional contribution or making a Roth IRA contribution. Or your income may fall into the phase-out range: you can't take full advantage of an IRA, but you may be eligible for a partial benefit. Contribution Limits To understand how phase-out limits work, it is important to understand contribution limits, as well. Each year, the IRS determines the maximum total amount you may contribute to your Roth and traditional IRAs. As of 2010, that amount is $5,000 if you are under 50, and $6,000 if you are 50 or over. Note that the limit is for total contributions. For instance, you cannot contribute $5,000 to both a Roth IRA and a traditional IRA if you are under 50, but you could contribute $2,500 to each. Roth IRA Phase-Out Limits IRA phase-out limits work very differently depending on whether you are contributing to a Roth or traditional IRA. Roth IRA income limits affect how much you can contribute to the account."

"text": "Hero Images/Getty Images Millions of employees have had the option to make after-tax contributions to their traditional 401 (k) plans for many years — long before the Roth 401 (k) came on the scene. Now, a recent IRS ruling makes it easier to do an after-tax 401 (k) rollover to a Roth IRA. The ruling potentially will benefit many workers, especially those whose incomes make them ineligible to contribute to a Roth IRA annually.401 (k) contribution rules On a pretax basis, employees can’t contribute above certain limits. In 2016, for instance, the limit is $18,000; those 50 and older can make additional catch-up contributions of $6,000. This money is not counted toward income, and all gains are tax-deferred. The limits are the same for Roth 401 (k)s, though the contributions do count toward income and all gains are tax-free. But employees can sock away a lot more retirement cash if their company plan offers an after-tax option in a traditional 401 (k). For instance, the IRS established a limit of $53,000 for individuals in 2016. Thanks to the recent IRS ruling, employees now can more easily roll over after-tax contributions into a Roth IRA when they retire, or after leaving their company. “In essence, you can now contribute over $50,000 per year into your Roth IRA,” says Brian Frederick, CFP professional and associate financial planner at Intrinsic Wealth Counsel in Tempe, Arizona."

Like other retirement plans, IRAs offer tax advantages—specifically, the potential for tax-deferred or tax-free growth. Tax-deferred means you postpone taxes until you withdraw money later on. Tax-free means you owe no tax on your investment earnings at all, provided you follow the rules for taking the money out of the account. But in exchange for these tax benefits, there are certain restrictions. Here's what you need to know about IRAs. What is an IRA? An IRA may be either an individual retirement account you establish with a financial services company—such as a bank, brokerage firm or mutual fund company—or an individual retirement annuity that's available through an insurance company. Certain retirement plans, including a simplified employee pension (SEP) and a SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers) may be set up as IRAs, though they operate a little differently from those you set up yourself.

One cannot simply start a plan overnight without adequate knowledge about the plans available. But first and foremost, one must have the motivation to start a plan. A knowledge on retirement planning tools and their benefits is important to decide on how much to save and the best ways to do so. There are 11 types of retirement plans, but the two most popular ones are the traditional IRA and the Roth IRA. An individual retirement arrangement, or IRA, is a personal savings plan under US law, which allows one to set aside money while earning for retirement and offer tax advantages. Once decided to open an Individual Retirement Arrangement, or IRA, one need to decide the type of IRA suitable for them; whether to open a Roth IRA or Traditional IRA or both as this involves large financial consequences. Here we are trying to give some important facts for decision making by comparing and differentiating both plans. Traditional IRAThe original IRA (sometimes called an ordinary or regular IRA) is referred to as a “traditional IRA.”In traditional IRA, one may be able to deduct some or all of their contributions to IRA from the taxable income and may also be eligible for a tax credit equal to a percentage of contribution.

"text": "\"DR 040: How Best to Use a Backdoor Roth IRARob Berger March 30, 2014Advertising Disclosure Even if you exceed the income limits for contribution to a Roth IRA, you may still be able to take advantage of this excellent additional retirement account option. You can work through what’s called a “backdoor Roth,” which basically means that you convert traditional IRA contributions into a Roth IRA. The process gets a little complicated, and it’s not always the best option, but it can be helpful in some situations. I’ll walk through the basics here. If you are considering a backdoor Roth IRA, however, you should definitely consult with a retirement account specialist. How a Backdoor Roth Works Though the IRS places an income limit on contributing directly to a Roth IRA, there’s no income limit on converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. A backdoor Roth takes advantage of this fact by contributing to a Traditional IRA with the intention of immediately converting the contribution. Basically, you’ll make a regular, non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA through your IRA custodian. Right after the contribution posts, you’ll convert it to a Roth IRA. How the conversion works will depend on your custodian but you might, for instance, buy shares in a Roth IRA and “sell” shares of your Traditional IRA to fund it."

"text": "\"Retirement Decisions Retirement Tax Tips All About Individual Retirement Accounts An IRA is a savings account with some tax perks Share Flip Pin Email•••By William Perez Updated October 11, 2017Individual retirement accounts, familiarly known as IRAs, are basically savings plans with lots of restrictions. The main advantage of an IRA is that you can defer paying taxes on the earnings and growth of your savings until you actually withdraw the money. The main disadvantage is that tax law imposes penalties if you have to withdraw any of the funds before you reach age 59 1/2. There are several different types of IRAs and each has its own tax implications and eligibility requirements. Traditional Individual Retirement Accounts The advantages of a traditional IRA include: You can claim a tax deduction when you contribute money to a traditional IRA. This deduction reduces your taxable income so the end result is that you don't pay income tax on the money you set aside in the account. The savings grow tax-deferred. You won't have to include interest, dividends, or capital gains from the IRA on your annual tax return. When you withdraw the money, the distribution from the IRA is included in your taxable income. It is taxed as ordinary income."

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Melissa Phipps Updated March 22, 2018How much can you contribute to an individual retirement account each year? It depends on the year. That's because the maximum amount you can invest, also known as the contribution limit, changes with cost-of-living inflation every year or two. Contribution limits for IRAs will remain relatively unchanged from 2014 to 2015, but there are some adjustments. Retirement savers, get ready to learn your limits.

"text": "Roth IRA vs. traditional IRA, summarized Both Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs are powerful tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts. The biggest difference between them is the timing of their tax breaks, which generally means: A Roth IRA is best if you believe your tax rate will be higher at retirement than it is right now. A traditional IRA is best if you believe your tax rate will be lower at retirement than it is right now. When you retire and start drawing money from your investment accounts to live off of, do you anticipate that your tax rate will be higher than it is right now? If the answer is yes, choose a Roth IRA. If you expect to be in a lower tax bracket in the future, then a traditional IRA is a better choice. Have no idea how your future tax rate will compare to your current one? Consider splitting the difference: Contribute to both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA in the same year (which the IRS allows as long as the total amount you sock away is within allowable limits). Is it really that simple? That was the dramatically abridged answer to the Roth-versus-traditional-IRA question."

Miller Last updated: April 2, 2018 3 Comments The IRS just announced its annual update to the maximum IRA contribution limits, which is the max anyone can contribute to an IRA (or IRA’s) in a given year. Unfortunately, the 2018 maximum IRA contribution is the same as the 2017 maximum IRA contribution limit (2018 will be the 6th year in a row at the same level). The maximum IRA contribution limit is set annually by the IRS and it is the limit that any individual can legally contribute to their IRA plans. The IRS determines increases by reviewing the consumer price index (CPI) annually. The maximum contribution limit applies to both Traditional IRA’s and Roth IRA’s. You should note that you can have each type of account (and multiple of each type), but the annual maximum contribution is for both types of plans combined and is a cumulative total for all of your IRA accounts. Here’s a recap of the 2017 and 2018 maximum IRA contribution limits, income limits and phaseouts, and how to get the most out of your IRA accounts.2017 Maximum IRA Contribution Limits The standard 2017 maximum IRA contribution limit is $5,500. This is unchanged from the prior limit, as previously noted.2017 IRA Catch-up Contribution For those age 50 and over, the 2017 IRA catch-up contribution will also stay the same, at an additional $1,000. With the standard contribution at $5,500, this means the 2017 catch-up contribution plus standard contribution is $6,500 in total. Note that you are eligible for the catch-up contribution if you turn 50 during any day in the calendar year.2018 Maximum IRA Contribution Limits The standard 2018 maximum IRA contribution limit is $5,500."

"text": "\"The primary benefits of contributing to an IRA are the tax deductions, the tax-deferred or tax-free growth on earnings and, if you are eligible, the non-refundable tax credits. To get the most out of contributing to your IRA, it's important to understand what these benefits mean and the limitations placed on them. Receiving a Tax Deduction If you do not participate in an employer-sponsored plan, such as an SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA or qualified plan, contributions to your Traditional IRA may be tax deductible. However, if you participate in either of these plans, you may be considered an active participant, and the deductibility of your contributions would be determined by your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and your tax-filing status - that is, whether you file \"\"married filing separately,\"\" \"\"married filing jointly\"\" or \"\"single. \"\" If your Traditional IRA contribution is not deductible, you may still make a non-deductible IRA contribution to it. Alternatively, you may contribute to a Roth IRA, provided your MAGI satisfies the Roth-IRA eligibility limits for 2018, which are as follows: Tax-Filing Status MAGI Roth IRA Contribution Limits Single $120,000 or less Up to $5,500 plus a catch-up Between $120,000 and $134,999 Partial contribution More than $135,000 No Roth-IRA contribution allowed Married filing jointly $189,000 or less Up to $5,500 plus a catch-up Between $189,000 and $198,000 Partial contribution More than $199,000 No Roth-IRA contribution allowed Married filing separately Up to $10,000 Partial contribution More than $10,000 No Roth-IRA contribution allowed If your income falls between the ranges that allow only a partial contribution, you may use a special formula to determine that partial contribution. This IRA calculator will further help you determine if you're eligible for an IRA. Tip: If you are married but you lived apart from your spouse for the entire year, you are not treated as married for tax-filing purposes. Therefore, you would fall into the \"\"single\"\" category. Should you decide to make a nondeductible contribution to your Traditional IRA, be sure to file IRS Form 8606, which helps you and the IRS keeps track of the non-taxable balance in your Traditional IRAs, ensuring that you do not pay taxes on distributions that should be tax-free."

"text": "\"If there's one common agreement among financial planners it's undoubtedly that the Roth IRA is hands down the best retirement vehicle available to individuals. Two of the main reasons attributable to this include that the Roth offers tax-free withdrawal of contributions and earnings upon reaching retirement and that the Roth has no Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) withdrawals at age 70 1/2. Unfortunately, based on your earned income, not everyone can directly contribute to a Roth IRA. Why the Roth IRA? As a single taxpayer, if you have earned income (modified AGI) of $125,000 or greater, you cannot contribute to a Roth IRA. For married individuals, this amount is $183,000 (these current limits for 2012 can be indexed upward annually). However, anyone can contribute up to $5,000 per year (indexed for 2012) to a Traditional IRA regardless of the amount of his or her earned income, just as long as his or her contribution does not exceed the lesser of $5,000 or the amount of his or her earned income. ( Age 50 or older also has a $1,000 additional catch-up amount)Traditional IRA Vs. the Non-Deductible IRA Up to certain earned income limitations (that typically change annually), taxpayers in lower tax brackets can receive an IRA contribution deduction on their federal tax returns for deposits made to a Traditional IRA for the year. If you happen to earn over the IRS limits, you can still contribute to an IRA, but you will not be entitled to an IRA contribution deduction on your tax return."

In most cases, you do not report a Roth contribution on your 1040. Traditional Vs. Roth One of the major differences between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is when you pay taxes on the contribution. A Roth IRA is not tax deductible when you make the contribution.

"text": "Retirement Planning IRAs When You're Over the IRA Limit: Non Deductible IRA Contributions You Can Still Save With an IRAShare Flip Pin Email•••By Michael Rubin Updated February 20, 2018Many people are not allowed to make tax-deductible contributions to their regular IRA, or the amount of the contribution may be limited. If your income exceeds specific levels, certain restrictions may apply to you that affect your ability to deduct your contributions. However, you still can save for your retirement with a non-deductible IRA contribution. Although your non deductible IRA contributions will not reduce your taxes in the year you make them, the earnings on them are tax-deferred, a key tax advantage of a regular IRA. Non-Deductible IRA Contributions Build Basis It may be discouraging when you don't receive any immediate tax benefit from a non-deductible IRA contribution. But the tax-deferred growth can be significant, and may ultimately make the contribution worthwhile, especially if you expect to have a lower tax rate after you retire than you do now. When you take your regular IRA distributions during retirement, you pay taxes on the growth. However, any non-deductible contributions are treated as your basis. Since you effectively paid tax on the money when you made the contribution, you won’t have to pay tax on it again later. For example, say you had made a $2,000 non-deductible contribution one year ago and your account balance, through additional deductible contributions and investment growth, was worth $20,000 when you make a withdrawal."

The maximum contribution to a SEP IRA for 2017 is $54,000. Contributions are tax deductible, grow tax deferred, and are finally taxed as withdrawn from the account. A traditional IRA and a Roth IRA are retirement saving accounts that allow individuals to save $5,500 per year, or $6,500 per year over age 50. Contributions to a traditional IRA are tax deductible subject to income limitations. Please consult with your tax preparer for specifics.

Taxpayers believe that because they have already paid the income tax on Roth IRAs that the Roth IRA balance will not be included in the estate for estate tax purposes. The other myth I have heard is that when you have a trust named as beneficiary of the IRA, or Roth IRA, that this will not be included as part of your taxable estate. As the title indicates, your IRA or Roth IRA will be included as part of your taxable estate at your death. Now that does not mean that it will be taxable. The estate tax exemption for 2011 and 2012 is $5,000,000 per person and is portable to the surviving spouse.

Contributions to Roth IRAs Made using after-tax dollars. Not tax-deductible.

A Roth IRA, with its tax-free growth potential and tax-free withdrawals for you and your heirs, is a way you may be able to do just that (as long as certain requirements are met). 1 And those are just a few of the benefits of a Roth IRA. One important note: Not everyone can contribute to a Roth IRA, because of IRS income limits.

"text": "Post-Retirement Roth Conversion By Kaye A. Thomas Current as of February 8, 2018It can make sense to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA even after retirement. Many people believe it doesn’t make sense to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA late in life. In reality, many retirees have a longer life expectancy than you might expect. What’s more, tax savings are possible even without an extended period of post-conversion ownership. The benefits aren’t present in all cases, so careful analysis is required to determine whether a conversion makes sense, how much to convert, and when. As explained below, in most cases the conversion will make sense if all of the following are true: All your withdrawals from the converted IRA will be free from taxes and penalties. You’ll be able to pay taxes on the conversion from another source. In other words, you won’t use money from the IRA to pay taxes. ( Sometimes you can benefit even if this is not true. ) Most importantly, you won’t pay tax on the conversion at a significantly higher rate than the rate that would apply if you left the money in your traditional IRA, taking it out when you need it later in life."

Also, you generally have to pay tax on income when you sell something for more than your basis (usually the amount you paid for something). If a type of income is taxable, it doesn't matter if you receive payment in cash, by check or electronic payment, or in the form of goods or services. You still pay tax on it. Certain types of income are excluded from tax. This generally includes income you or someone else has already paid tax on, or income from special situations, such as combat pay.

Should you count your 401k and IRA when you calculate your Financial Freedom Ratio*? You can’t access these tax advantaged retirement funds without penalty (10%) until age 59-1/2. If you plan to retire at 40 or 50, wouldn’t it be better to invest in a taxable account so your saving is easier to access? * Financial Freedom Ratio (FFR) = investable asset/annual expense. If your FFR is over 25, then you’re close to financial independence. First of all, I count our 401k and IRA in our investable asset. We don’t plan to access them until we’re 60, but they are invested and they are growing. I wouldn’t have been able to justify quitting my job if I discounted 50% of our net worth.

"text": "What You Should Know About IRA Distributions after the Owner's Death1. What happens to an IRA after its owner’s death? After the death of its owner, an Individual Retirement Arrangement (“IRA”) will be distributed in accordance with the most recent beneficiary designation on file with the IRA custodian. If there is no beneficiary designation on file, or if the named beneficiary does not survive the account owner, then the balance of the account will be paid to the IRA owner’s probate estate. A beneficiary designation is usually made on a pre-printed document signed by the IRA owner, although some custodians accept designations electronically on a website. The IRA owner’s will is not considered a beneficiary designation. 2. Are IRA distributions taxable to the beneficiary? The beneficiary of a traditional IRA must pay income tax as the funds are received. A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax dollars, so the beneficiary inherits the account free of income taxes."

IRAs were already very useful accounts for retirement savings when Roth versions of them were introduced as part of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. The key feature of Roth IRAs can make a big difference in your retirement savings -- especially if you use the Roth in smart ways. Here are four Roth IRA investing tips that could earn you thousands of dollars. IRA basics First, though, let's review just what IRAs are, and how they work. For a wealth of in-depth resources on IRAs, you can visit our IRA Center. In the meantime, a quick overview. There are two main kinds of IRAs -- the traditional IRA and the Roth IRA. With a traditional IRA, you contribute pre-tax money, reducing your taxable income for the year, and thereby reducing your taxes, too. ("

"text": "When and How to Start IRA Withdrawals April 24, 2011 by Justin Hopefully, when you went to open an IRA, you did so with the intention of using it for long term retirement needs. The IRA concept is ideally suited for retirement savings and any withdrawals prior to retirement will diminish your long term plans. However, even if you do use an IRA for retirement, emergencies do happen where you may need to get your hands on the money early. There are a number of withdrawal rules that apply. The IRS calls these distribution rules. The rules also differ between a Traditional IRA vs Roth IRA. Traditional IRA Withdrawals In a Traditional IRA, you most probably took a tax deduction for the amounts you contributed to the plan. This was the reason for opening the IRA. Since you got a tax deduction going in, all money coming out of an IRA is taxable as ordinary income, including your own contributions. State income tax also applies."

"text": "As part of Think Advisor’s Special Report, 21 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 201 4, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Professional Networks sister service,Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format. Q: How much may an individual contribute to a Roth IRA? An eligible individual may contribute cash to a Roth IRA on his own behalf up to the lesser of the maximum annual contribution limit (equal to the “deductible amount” under IRC Section 219 (b) (5) (A)) or 100% of compensation includable in his gross income for the taxable year reduced by any contributions made to traditional IRAs for the taxable year on his own behalf. The maximum annual contribution limit is $5,000 for taxable years beginning in 2011 and 2012 and $5,500 in 2013 and 2014. The $5,000 amount is indexed for inflation. The maximum annual contribution limit is increased by $1,000 for individuals who have attained age 50 before the close of the tax year. SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs may not be designated as Roth IRAs, and contributions to a SEP or SIMPLE IRA will not affect the amount that an individual can contribute to a Roth IRA. Qualified rollover contributions do not count towards this limit. Roth IRA contributions are not deductible and can be made even after the individual turns age 70½. An individual may contribute cash to a Roth IRA for a non-working spouse for a taxable year up to the maximum deductible limit (disregarding active participant restrictions) permitted with respect to traditional IRAs for such non-working spouse, reduced by any such contributions made to traditional IRAs for the taxable year on behalf of the non-working spouse. Thus, a married couple (both spouses under age 50) may be permitted a maximum contribution of up to $11,000 in 2013 and 2014."

Depending upon the nature of the contribution, a traditional IRA may be referred to as a “deductible IRA” or a “non-deductible IRA.” It was introduced with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and made popular with the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.

With a Roth IRA, you contribute after-tax dollars, but withdrawals from these accounts, including the earnings, are often tax-free. To decide which type of retirement account is best for you, you need to compare your current tax rate to what you think your tax rate will be in retirement. \"\" If you will be in the same or a higher tax bracket in retirement, the Roth IRA is the better choice,\"\" says William Keffer, a certified financial planner for Keffer Financial Planning in Wheaton, Ill. \"\"If you will be in a lower bracket in retirement, then the benefit is much less if existent at all.\"\" Here are some reasons to do at least some of your retirement saving in a Roth IRA: Retirement flexibility. Retirees are required to take distributions from their traditional 401 (k)s and IRAs each year after age 70½, and income tax is due on each withdrawal. The penalty for failing to take required minimum distributions is a 50 percent excise tax on the amount that should have been withdrawn in addition to the regular income tax due on the withdrawal. But retirees are not required to take annual distributions from Roth accounts, which gives them more flexibility to withdraw the money only when they need it.

If we don’t take full advantage of these money making tools, we are turning away help when we need it the most.

Here are the key considerations: Income Limits Anyone with earned income who is younger than 70½ can contribute to a Traditional IRA.

Fidelity Viewpoints – 10/19/2017Saving for Retirement Roth IRADo you want to help lower your taxes and increase your retirement savings? A Roth IRA, with its tax-free growth potential and tax-free withdrawals for you and your heirs, is a way you may be able to do just that (as long as certain requirements are met). 1 And those are just a few of the benefits of a Roth IRA. One important note: Not everyone can contribute to a Roth IRA, because of IRS income limits. If your income is over the limits, you still may be able to have one by converting existing money in a traditional IRA or other retirement savings account. ( See the section \"\"If you earn too much to contribute,\"\" at the end of the article.)1. Money may grow tax free; withdrawals are tax free, too You contribute money that has already been taxed (after-tax dollars) to a Roth IRA. There's no tax deduction as there can be with a traditional IRA. But, any growth or earnings from the investments in the account—and money you take out in retirement—is free from federal taxes (and usually state and local taxes too), with a few conditions."

At the time, just 3,770 were left. “Green” Stickers, Most Commonly Applied To Chevy Volts and Toyota Prius PHVs Are Now Exhausted That number quickly dropped to just about 1,500 left a week later, as CARB’s website stated:“As of April 7, 2014, 38,478 “green” stickers have been issued. Green stickers are valid through January 1, 2019.”This number then basically idled in place for the month as CARB froze dealer’s abilities to pre-register vehicles for “ green ” stickers, leaving many to wonder how many were left and when they would run out. Then yesterday morning, CARB’s site was updated with this note:“As of April 28, 2014, 39,359 “green” stickers have been issued. Green stickers are valid through January 1, 2019.”That was just 881 new “green” stickers issued in Californian in three weeks, which was only a fraction of the issuing pace that had been set over the past 2-3 months. Was this possible? Had demand suddenly fallen off?

"text": "By Dr. Mercola The weight loss drug orlistat (known as Xenical by prescription and Alli, available over-the-counter) is one of the most popular on the market. Alli is even known to flaunt the fact that it’s approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in its advertisements, using such slogans as “lose weight the FDA approved way,” which, to most people, makes it sound as though it’s safe…The drug, which works by inhibiting fat absorption in your intestines, has faced problems in the past, not the least of which include cramping, gas, diarrhea, anal leakage and oily underwear stains as the result of the drug’s fat-blocking mechanism of action. Now, a University of Rhode Island researcher uncovered a far more detrimental side effect, which is so severe it prompted him to immediately alert the FDA about his findings…Xenical and Alli May Cause “Severe Toxicity of Internal Organs”Orlistat was first approved in 1999 as a prescription weight loss drug, and later, in 2007, became approved for over-the-counter use. Because orlistat works in your intestines, it was thought that the drug mostly stayed in the intestines and was not absorbed by the body. This was not what was found by Professor Bingfang Yan, who conducted the study. He noted: 1“Since it has been available over–the-counter, there has been a drastic increase of toxicity among patients using the drug. It has been linked to severe liver failure, acute pancreatic failure and acute renal (kidney) failure. ”His research, indeed, showed that orlistat, even at low levels, inhibits a major detoxification enzyme (carboxylesterase-2) in the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal track. When this occurs, it may lead to “severe toxicity of internal organs such as the liver and kidney.” The enzyme also plays a role in metabolizing a variety of medications, and as such orlistat may also alter the efficacy of certain drugs."

"text": "If I said you could eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Mc Donald’s for six months straight and lose a ton of weight, no doubt you’d laugh me out of the room. But that’s exactly what John Cisna did back in 2014. The science teacher challenged his students at Iowa’s Colo-Nesco High School to think about everything they eat. He showed them that with smart choices and daily exercise, you could turn any establishment into a healthy one while meeting all your nutritional needs. After the Mc Donald’s Diet, Cisna lost 56 pounds of belly fat in six months. Color us impressed. In the Mc Donald’s world of clowns and happy meals, much has changed in the time since Cisna’s little experiment: Breakfast is now served all day, Mc Nuggets are no longer made with artificial preservatives or flavors, all of Mc Donald’s chicken is free from antibiotics, and there are now three—yes three—different Big Macs. ( Sounds like Cisna could lose even more weight now! ) So, in the spirit of the recent Mickey D makeover, Eat This, Not That! embarked on the ambitious journey of ranking every single Mc Donald’s menu item based on nutritional content and ingredients."

California’s program is the fourth largest in the world, following the cap-and-trade programs of the European Union, the Republic of Korea, and the Chinese province of Guangdong. In addition to driving emission cuts in one of the world’s largest economies, California’s program provides critical experience in creating and managing an economy-wide cap-and-trade system. California’s emissions trading system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from regulated entities by more than 16 percent between 2013 and 2020, and by an additional 40 percent by 2030. It is a central component of the state’s broader strategy to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The cap-and-trade rule applies to large electric power plants, large industrial plants, and fuel distributors (e.g., natural gas and petroleum). Around 450 businesses responsible for about 85 percent of California’s total greenhouse gas emissions must comply. California has linked its program with similar programs in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, meaning that businesses in one jurisdiction can use emission allowances (or offsets) issued by one of the others for compliance. This broadens the number of businesses under the cap, leading to additional economic efficiencies.

The trouble with it is that you get all these “purists” (as I call them) thinking you can’t eat anything outside of that list, and as a result people get bored with the foods. Now, I can give you a slow-carb meal plan. I’ve created one you can sign up for if you don’t feel like planning your own meals. But you could also come up with them yourself. The truth is you could make over 70 (an extremely generous number) totally unique meals, not including the spices that give it totally different flair, off of the small list he posted in the book. But 70 isn’t really that exciting. How about 12,000+ unique meals? Tweet this: Holy crap! This is the biggest #4hb food list I’ve ever seen!I’ve put together a “matrix” of slow-carb foods that should help you put together meals for any occasion."

"text": "\"Two-in-one type 2 diabetes drug approved by FDAWed, 04 Feb 2015Tweet A drug developed to treat type 2 diabetes has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to improve blood sugar control. How does Glyxambi work? Glyxambi is a once-daily two-in-one tablet that combines empagliflozin and linagliptin, two existing diabetes treatments manufactured by Eli Lilly and private partner Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc. Glyxambi treats type 2 diabetes by forcing excess glucose out through urine, rather than letting it get absorbed by the kidneys, and increasing the capacity of hormones to produce more insulin and less glucose. In a study funded by Boehringer and Eli Lilly, type 2 diabetic patients taking Glyxambi over 24 weeks had improved Hb A1c readings (6.9 per cent and 6.7 per cent respectively for 10/5 mg and 25/5 mg doses) than when treated individually with empagliflozin and linagliptin. Urinary tract infections have been a side effect of the drug, with other adverse effects including nasal inflammation and upper respiratory tract infections. The drugmakers announced the FDA approval on February 2 2015 and believe Glyxambi will be beneficial to type 2 diabetics who have problems keeping control of their blood sugar levels. The drug cannot be used to treat type 1 diabetes. \"\" Half of people with type 2 diabetes do not achieve recommended blood sugar control, making new treatment options more important than ever,\"\" said Mike Mason, Eli Lilly diabetes division vice president.

The theory: The body is an engine; carbs are the gas that makes it go. Limiting carbs makes the body turn to an alternative fuel – stored fat. So sugars and \"\"simple starches\"\" like potatoes, white bread and rice are all but squeezed out; protein and fat like chicken, meat and eggs are embraced. Fat is burned; pounds come off. Reducing total carbs isn't all there is to Atkins. Limiting the carbs you take in at any one time is also in the game plan. A carb-heavy meal floods the blood with glucose, too much for the cells to use or to store in the liver as glycogen. Where does it end up?"

No matter your health and fitness aspirations, carb cycling might be a good middle ground. Although its roots are in the world of bodybuilding, trainers are turning to the nutrition strategy to help clients achieve their goals — whether they’re trying to slim down or build muscle — or both. “Eating healthy carbs on certain days keeps your metabolism revved up, and sticking to mostly protein and vegetables on days in between keeps insulin low enough that you can burn fat without losing muscle,” explains Shelby Starnes, a competitive bodybuilder and carb cycling expert. “ It’s a routine that anyone can modify for their individual goals.” If you’re intrigued but don’t know how to start, read on for tips about how to put together a weekly carb cycling menu. RELATED: Carb Cycling for Weight Loss: Does It Work? Find the Right Formula The classic carb cycling schedule alternates between high- and low-carb days, six times a week, saving the seventh day for reward meals. Depending on your health and fitness objectives, however, you might want to alter your setup for the week. For instance, to lose weight, you might aim for five low-carb days interspersed with two high-carb days, suggests Starnes."

"text": "Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR) Popping Up In Sugar-Free, Low-Carb Chocolates Filed under: Business — @ September 25, 2006Ever since I started livin’ la vida low-carb, I have become like a hawk reading nutritional labels and ingredients of foods that are supposed to be acceptable for people who are following the low-carb way of life. Anytime I see something strange that I’ve never heard of before, then I know it’s time to do some research and find out what it is really all about. One such ingredient is something known as PGPR, or Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate. This is something that you will find in the ingredients list for Dove Sugar-Free Chocolates made by Mars, Inc. I personally LOVE Dove chocolates and was thrilled to learn they made a sugar-free version which I was hoping to add to my low-carb lifestyle. But if the whopping 17g of the nasty sugar alcohol maltitol they use to sweeten each bag didn’t turn me off, then the PGPR did!My food science source informs me that PGPR is an emulsifier used in chocolate and is made from castor bean oil. It is used primarily to improve the viscosity of the chocolate so it will melt in your mouth better. The lower the viscosity, the better the texture feels inside of your mouth. Products like chocolate chips and Hershey’s kisses which are thicker chocolates have much higher viscosity so they will keep their shape. The only other approved emulsifier used in the United States besides PGPR is lecithin while European chocolates can also contain YN (ammonium phosphatide) and CITREM (citric acid esters of mono- and di-glycerides). Why do manufacturers use PGPR?"

"text": "What is the best Wi Fi antenna for me? You have probably arrived at this page because you are looking for a range extender antenna for your Wi Fi system. We have written this article to make the complex task of choosing the correct antenna for your system much easier and also to let you know how the different types of antennas perform. The single most important thing you can do to extend the range of your 802.11 system is to install an external antenna with some good gain and directional or omni-directional qualities. Wi Fi is simply a radio, which is used for computer. You can think of your antenna as the “speaker system” of your Wi Fi card. Get a bigger antenna; your Wi Fi will go a lot further. However, don't install a speaker on your wifi system or your range will be horrible!Directional Antennas Directional antennas are used for Point-to-Point or sometimes for Multi-Point systems depending on the setup. If you are trying to go from one location (say for instance your router), to another location, this is the type of antenna we recommend. Directional antennas are Backfires, Yagi, Panel and dish type antennas."

Turn an old satellite dish, for example, a Direct TV satellite dish, into a powerful and efficient Wi-Fi antenna. A few hardware tools and some supplies from an electronics store and from around the home are needed. Place a sheet of newspaper on a table to protect the surface. Stand the empty coffee can on the newspaper. Measure up 3 inches from the bottom of the can. Drill a hole through the side of the can at the 3-inch mark with the portable drill. Cut off the connector at the end of the Pigtail N adaptor with the scissors. Separate the two wires at the end with your fingers. Strip a half-inch of insulation off each end with the wire strippers."

"text": "How to Increase the Range of your Wireless Network Written by Amit Agarwal on Jul 20, 2012Setting up a wireless home network is pretty simple now. Get a wireless router, connect the Internet port of the router to your broadband modem and then connect any of the numbered LAN ports to the desktop computer through an Ethernet cable. Wireless G (or 802.11g) routers offer fairly good Wi-Fi signal strength but if you plan to transfer large files or stream videos around the house, you may well consider switching to a slightly more expensive Wireless N (or 802.11n) router – these offer better signal strength and higher data transfer speeds than Wireless G routers. There’s however one problem with Wi-Fi signals emanating from your wireless router – they only have a limited range. The wireless signal strength will degrade as the distance between the router and your laptop increases and it will further weaken if you have too many brick walls in the house or if your computer is located on a different floor than the router. Ways to Boost the Wi Fi Signal Strength If you too have a problem getting Wi-Fi signals in every corner of your house, here are some tips (and accessories) to help you extend the range of your wireless network.#1. Install the DD-WRT * firmware on your wireless router – this might help increase the range of your Wi-Fi router by a few meters if not more. To increase the signal strength, you can increase the router’s transmit power and also disable both frame burst and afterburner (the settings can be accessed from the router’s web dashboard). If DD-WRT firmware is not available for your router, try the Tomato firmware on your router.#2. Most routers have omni-directional antennas so they emit wireless signals in all directions (just like a light bulb)."

If your wireless router's signal isn't as strong as you'd like, don't run out to buy a more expensive model. Though there are are many factors that influence the strength of a wireless signal, metal obstructions in a home or office are common culprits. Assessing the position of your router and changing its location can make a significant difference in its performance. Wireless Signal Interference There are two basic types of wireless signal interference that could impair your router's performance. The first type comes from nearby devices that are operating in the same bandwidth as the router, such as cordless phones, baby monitors and other people's Wi-Fi networks. The second kind of interference is caused by physical barriers. Wireless signals are degraded as they attempt to pass through dense materials such as concrete, bulletproof glass and metal; signals fare better when passing through wood, regular glass and even brick. Metal and Wireless Signals Metal objects that come between your router and computer can obstruct signals."

Ready or not, this new Wi-Fi standard update is set to revolutionize the wireless networking world forever. Let’s take a look at the technology and what makes it so cool for the average consumer. Sharing isn’t easy To get a proper understanding of how MU-MIMO works, let’s take a look at the way that a traditional wireless router handles data packets. Routers – probably including the one you use – are very good at sending and receiving data, but only in one direction. In other words, they can only talk to one device at a time. If you are getting video streamed onto your computer, your router cannot also be streaming online video gameplay to a console. “But wait,” you’re saying, “I can’t count the number of times that I’ve played video games while my SO watches Netflix on the laptop, so this is clearly wrong.”"

Here are some quick tips for achieving optimal reception.0shares Facebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Browsing slowing to a crawl, the inability to stream, dropped Wi-Fi signals, wireless dead zones—every one of these problems is maddening in a world where getting online has become, for some, as necessary as breathing. Well, maybe not that critical, but important. If the only way you can get decent reception is to be in the same room as your wireless router, these simple tips can help optimize your network. Distance is the most obvious problem—there is a certain optimal range that the wireless signal can travel. If the network has to cover an area larger than the router is capable of transmitting to, or if there are lots of corners to go around and walls to penetrate, performance will take a hit. Interference is also a big issue, especially for those who live in densely populated areas. Signals from other wireless networks and electronics can impact speeds, as can physical obstructions, such as walls. Many phone systems and other wireless devices can also interfere with signals. This is a good thing to consider when you are shopping for a new phone system—many of them use DECT 6.0 nowadays, which coexists very nicely with standard Wi-Fi networks."

"text": "Linksys Ships First Dual-band High-gain Antennas for Home Wi-fi Networks Share the Article: New Linksys 7d Bi Omni-Directional Antenna Helps Give up to 2X Wi-Fi Signal Boost Irvine, Calif. – June 30, 2015 – Linksys, the first to sell 100 million routers globally and a leader in networking solutions for the home and business, today announced the first dual-band, omni-directional high-gain antennas for the consumer market. The new Linksys high-gain antennas available in a 2- and 4-pack ( WRT004ANT and WRT002ANT) help improve a router’s signal strength specifically at the edge of a Wi-Fi network resulting in enhanced Wi-Fi performance. Compatible with any wireless router that features an RP-SMA connection, these new antennas deliver 4d Bi in the 2.4GHz band and 7d Bi in the 5 GHz band for up to 2X* antenna gain over stock antennas. Easy to install, simply detach router’s factory antennas and replace with the new high-gain antennas. High-Gain Antenna Benefit So how can a dual-band high-gain antenna really help the average consumer home? Mike Chen, vice president of product management and engineering, said “Antennas amplify a Wi-Fi signal and improve performance within the coverage area – providing a stronger Wi-Fi signal. New antennas like ours will help customers that are looking to improve their Wi-Fi throughput at the boundaries of their existing wireless network. In Linksys testing, the antennas optimize performance best in a single story environment where the router is on the same floor as the primary Wi-Fi usage. If users require signal enhancement on multiple floors, a range extender is more ideal. ”Upgrading a Wi-Fi router or other device to omni-directional antennas can also help improve connectivity with mobile devices in the home and resolve basic signal issues."

Find a central location in your home and put your router on a table or bookshelf. Because some routers are designed to project a Wi-Fi signal slightly downward, keeping it higher off the ground will evenly distribute a Wi-Fi signal throughout your home.2. STAY AWAY FROM APPLIANCES AND METAL OBJECTS. Microwaves, cordless telephones, flourescent lights, and even other routers in your neighbor’s home or apartment may interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. To reduce interference, place your router away from household appliances and set it to a different wireless channel and frequency."

A router’s wireless speed is usually a user’s main concern: Unlike wired networks, wireless networks seem to suffer interference from objects in our everyday lives--should the router be above the dryer, or below; next to the microwave, or above? Wireless speeds can also be affected by too many devices sharing the same access point as well. Your device is fighting for limited bandwidth. Many basic ways to improve your Wi-Fi network are available, such as placing the router in the center of the area you want it to cover, keeping the router away from metal objects that could block the signal, or making sure there aren’t too many other radio-enabled devices broadcasting on a 2.4GHz signal (standard for most older routers). But other ways to improve your signal may be a little less apparent. Here are some of those tricks (feel free to add your own workarounds in the comments below). Check Your Speed Although most people can gauge if their home wireless is too slow or not, checking the speed of the connection will let you know for sure whether you’re within range of the speed promised by your provider. Downloading a lightweight piece of software like LAN Speed Test gives you upload and download speed numbers in megabits per second (mbps), which you can check against your ISP’s promised speed to see if your network is actually slow or if you just need to pay for faster service. You’ll probably need to run the test multiple times and at different times of the day to get a real sense of how fast your Wi-Fi is overall, as crowding on the 2.4GHz spectrum could cause slowdown during the busiest times of the day for Internet traffic."

Maximum Range of a Wi Fi Modem/Router Keep one thing in mind- Wi Fi is not a single way communication, means more than one device is involved in this. That means performance of the Wi Fi adaptor you your PC/Smartphones is equally important for this two way communication. Wi Fi frequency and power standards are not globally uniform. Different countries have their own frequency spectrum allocation and transmission power regulations."

"text": "How to Increase the Range of your Wireless Network Written by Amit Agarwal on Jul 20, 2012Setting up a wireless home network is pretty simple now. Get a wireless router, connect the Internet port of the router to your broadband modem and then connect any of the numbered LAN ports to the desktop computer through an Ethernet cable. Wireless G (or 802.11g) routers offer fairly good Wi-Fi signal strength but if you plan to transfer large files or stream videos around the house, you may well consider switching to a slightly more expensive Wireless N (or 802.11n) router – these offer better signal strength and higher data transfer speeds than Wireless G routers. There’s however one problem with Wi-Fi signals emanating from your wireless router – they only have a limited range. The wireless signal strength will degrade as the distance between the router and your laptop increases and it will further weaken if you have too many brick walls in the house or if your computer is located on a different floor than the router. Ways to Boost the Wi Fi Signal Strength If you too have a problem getting Wi-Fi signals in every corner of your house, here are some tips (and accessories) to help you extend the range of your wireless network.#1. Install the DD-WRT * firmware on your wireless router – this might help increase the range of your Wi-Fi router by a few meters if not more. To increase the signal strength, you can increase the router’s transmit power and also disable both frame burst and afterburner (the settings can be accessed from the router’s web dashboard). If DD-WRT firmware is not available for your router, try the Tomato firmware on your router.#2. Most routers have omni-directional antennas so they emit wireless signals in all directions (just like a light bulb)."

"text": "Banks use two key pieces of information to identify the holdings of their customers. These to pieces of information are the routing number and the account number. If you need to set up a new direct deposit or regular transfer, you need to supply the employer, government agency or financial institution with both the routing and account numbers. Find your account information on your checks. Bank Name The routing number identifies the bank instead of your actual account. If you and your coworker both hold accounts at the same bank, your routing numbers will be the same, even though your account numbers will be different. Small banks generally have only one routing number, while large multinational banks can have several different routing numbers. In the latter case, your routing number may be determined by the state where you hold the account. Specific Account The account number works in conjunction with the routing number. While the routing number identifies the name of the financial institution, the account number identifies your individual account."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A typical British bank statement header (from a fictitious bank), showing the location of the account's IBANThe International Bank Account Number ( IBAN) is an internationally agreed system of identifying bank accounts across national borders to facilitate the communication and processing of cross border transactions with a reduced risk of transcription errors. It was originally adopted by the European Committee for Banking Standards (ECBS), and later as an international standard under ISO 13616:1997. The current standard is ISO 13616:2007, which indicates SWIFT as the formal registrar. Initially developed to facilitate payments within the European Union, it has been implemented by most European countries and numerous countries in the other parts of the world, mainly in the Middle East and in the Caribbean. As of February 2016, 69 countries were using the IBAN numbering system. [ 1]The IBAN consists of up to 34 alphanumeric characters comprising: a country code; two check digits; and a number that includes the domestic bank account number, branch identifier, and potential routing information. The check digits enable a sanity check of the bank account number to confirm its integrity before submitting a transaction. Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Structure2.1 Basic Bank Account Number2.2 Check digits3 Processing3.1 Algorithms3.1.1 Validating the IBAN3.1.2 Generating IBAN check digits3.1.3 Modulo operation on IBAN3.1.3.1 Example4 Adoption4.1 EEA and territories4.1.1 Single Euro Payments Area4.2 Non-EEA4.3 IBAN formats by country5 Criticism6 See also7 Notes8 References9 External links Background [ edit]Before IBAN, differing national standards for bank account identification (i.e. bank, branch, routing codes, and account number) were confusing for some users. This often led to necessary routing information being missing from payments. Routing information as specified by ISO 9362 (also known as Business Identifier Codes (BIC code), SWIFT ID or SWIFT code, and SWIFT-BIC) does not require a specific format for the transaction so the identification of accounts and transaction types is left to agreements of the transaction partners."

"text": "\"Knowing a bank account number helps you learn about the bank. The various numbers and symbols that appear on checks, debit cards and bank statements aren't just random strings of characters -- most of these numbers contain an embedded logic that, once you understand it, can help you identify information about the issuing bank including its registered address and telephone number. Although account numbers, routing numbers and sort codes may be obtained from a variety of sources, including a bank teller or website, these numbers will always appear on paper checks. How to Locate a Bank by the Routing Number Some bank statements optionally include a routing number, but every check must include a routing number. These nine-digit identifiers -- printed in magnetic ink on the bottom of the check -- appear between symbols that look like a short vertical bar followed by two dots: |:012345678|: With this routing number, use an online database like the Fed ACH routing-number directory maintained by Federal Reserve Financial Services to obtain more data about the financial institution. This database will present the bank name, mailing address, phone number and associated information used for interbank transfers. Routing numbers are also called RTNs, or routing and transit numbers. How to Find My Bank Account Number Bank account numbers are always printed on the bottom of a check, in magnetic ink. The account number doesn't have a fixed character length, so it could be as few as five characters or as many as a dozen or more. For personal checks, the account number follows the routing number and precedes the check number."

"text": "What are Merchant Services? Merchant Services, or better known as credit card processing is the handling of electronic payment transactions for merchants. Merchant processing activities involve obtaining sales information from the merchant, receiving authorization for the transaction, collecting funds from the bank which issued the credit card, and sending payment to the merchant. Back in the good old days, when life was much simpler, “merchant services” was limited to the following scenario: John Doe walks in to Sam’s Supermarket and makes a purchase. Being that John and Sam were good pals, Sam had no problem extending “credit” to John. Sam would write down the amount of the purchase in his “little black book” and collect the balance at a later date. Since this model was driven by Sam’s personal relationship with John, if John were to walk in to an unfamiliar store on the other side of town and request credit, he would probably find himself in the uncomfortable position of being shown the front door! Wouldn’t it be great if there were some sort of system that would allow merchants to extend credit to their unfamiliar customers without exposing themselves to risk? In 1946 the earliest form of “credit cards” (or bankcard) were introduced when Mr. John Biggins developed a system that did just that. It was known as the “Charg-It” system and it allowed customers to charge their local retail purchases."

You can wait around at the mailbox for a paper check to snail-mail its way to you, or you can have some or all of your federal tax refund directly deposited to your bank account. The Internal Revenue Service will electronically transfer your tax refund to your bank account—all you have to do is ask. How to Request Direct Deposit All you have to do is indicate your bank's routing transit number, your bank account number, and the type of account (checking or savings) on your tax form. The IRS will electronically send your entire refund to that one bank account. You can enter this information on lines 76b, 76c and 76d of the 2016 version of Form 1040. If you want portions of your refund directly deposited into multiple bank accounts, use Form 8888 to split your refund among two or three different accounts. Triple Check Your Bank Account Information Before Filing The IRS says it isn't responsible for errors you might make when you're entering your bank account information on your return or on Form 8888. It has no liability if your refund goes to John Doe because you transposed numbers or entered digit wrong. It won't \"\"cancel payment\"\" of your refund and send a second payment to the correct account."

That map is then used to calculate the shortest path to destinations.

The current version of this standard is ISO/IEC 10589:2002. ISO/IEC 10589 defines support for the ISO Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) as defined in ISO 8473.

It’s a digital code, provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank and used mostly within the United States of America. This code have been provided in order to make bank transactions easier, faster and more convenient for the bank’s customers nationwide. Chase routing number consists of nine digits, the set of which correspond to particular area or State. These codes are used to conduct multiple on-line and off-line operations with direct deposits and business accounts, electronic payments, international and domestic wire transfers, automatic payments, bill payments etc. Chase bank routing number is valid within the area, where it was assigned.

However, you must also minimize the risk that an attacker can gain unauthorized access to the same resources. Remote access solutions can dramatically increase the productivity and flexibility of users who work from home computers or from mobile devices such as laptops while traveling on the job. However, such solutions also increase the chance that an attacker will:intercept information as it travels between the remote user and your intranetmake an unauthorized remote access connection by successfully impersonating a legitimate remote access usergain direct access to information that is stored on computers within your intranet This guide and the features in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system can help you design a remote access solution that is reliable, cost-effective, easy to use, and easy to manage. The solution in this guide relies on virtual private network (VPN) technologies that allow remote users to connect to an intranet from Internet-connected computers that are running either the Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition operating system. This guide explains how to configure the solution for a particular environment, and it includes links to more information so that you can customize the solution to help meet the needs of your environment. The steps in this guide show you how to: Specify which users can connect to your intranet from remote locations and which ports and networking protocols they must use. Set up a remote access server to handle connections from remote locations. You can configure the remote access server to authorize and manage connections based on the use of a preshared key, particular ports, particular addresses, and other factors. You can also configure the server to block connections if a user attempts to connect using an incorrect password a certain number of times."

I'M REFERRING TO BANK OF AMERICAFollow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The account numbers would have to be different, otherwise how would they determine which account funds were deposited or removed. Credit unions usually have one main number and the last 2 or 3 digits designated the separate accounts (ie, 00 for savings, 02 for checking, 03 for car loan, etc). However, I don't think BOA numbers accounts that way. Source (s): BDbdancer222 · 8 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Yes, they can be. The people saying No don t know what they re talking about because their banks do it differently. I have a checking account and a savings account with a local credit union and the account numbers are indeed identical. In fact I have my payroll depositing part of the check into savings and the rest into checking, and that still works fine (and has worked that way for 10 years).soapergem · 2 years ago0 0 Comment ACCOUNT numbers are different for every individual account.

Posted by SR Max | Aug 2, 2011 | Featured, Q & A | 6 |I was having a conversation with a gentleman on Twitter the other day when he Tweeted: “Almost all Nike’s are slip resistant”. This makes sense, right? After all, basketball players don’t want to slip on hardwood floors, so they must wear slip resistant shoes, right? Wrong. There are several factors that go into making a great pair non slip shoes for work. The distinguishing features of a slip resistant shoe are the outsole design, tread pattern, and material used in the outsole. Here’s a breakdown of what separates a slip resistant shoe from a regular shoe. Material The outsole is more commonly referred to as the “sole” of the shoe, but to avoid confusion with the insole and midsole, the outsole is the part of the shoe that comes in direct contact with the ground. A slip resistant outsole is softer, and made of rubber that is more slip resistant when exposed to water and oil than other outsole compounds."

Study these pictures and discuss what is happening. Use the words Force, Motion and Friction in your discussion. The Egyptians used rollers to help them move heavy stone blocks. A very large force is needed to move a heavy object simply by pushing it along the ground. The bottom of the block would scrape along the ground and would resist any pushing force trying to move the block. This resistance to motion by one surface rubbing on another is called Friction. Friction is a Force which opposes Motion The rollers keep the block off the ground so it can’t scrape and because the rollers can turn they don’t scrape as much on the block. The end result is that it is much easier to move the block on the rollers because the Friction has been reduced. When there is less friction it takes less Force to make something move."

"text": "Lug soles are a type of outer sole found on heavy-duty and utility shoes such as hiking boots or work boots. They are thick and designed with deep indentations to improve stability and traction. The pattern of these soles varies to include V-shaped and diamond shaped indentations. They are most frequently found on boots, including fishing, hunting, logging, hiking, and work boots. Most lug soles are made of rubber, some may be PVC injected, and they are generally slightly wider than the perimeter of the shoe. Though they offer improved traction and stability and can be ideal for hunting, fishing, or work boots, it can be difficult to find the right combination of additional features. That being said, lug soles are often one of the best types of outer soles for utility shoes or boots. Though boots with this type of sole can feel heavy other types of soles, such as logger soles, often feel heavier. One drawback to either type of sole is the tendency to accumulate mud in the deep indentations. They can be messy and difficult to clean, but this is a small price to pay for added traction and stability."

For instance, boots made with the Vibram #100 heavy lug sole are about 2\"\" / 51mm high at the back of the heel and ⅞\"\" / 0.9\"\" / 22mm in the sole at the forefoot. Those measurements are for a standard Jobmaster or Boss Engineer boot and include the thickness of the #100 Vibram outsole and the leather and rubber midsoles. Highliner lineman boots have an extra half-slip, a layer of leather which adds extra arch support and stiffness. That makes the heel slightly higher. Boots made with extra ¼\"\" / 6.4mm midsoles are ¼\"\" thicker from sole to heel. So there is the same difference in thickness at the sole and heel as standard boots. Boots made with fewer or additional ¼\"\" thick heel lifts will also vary. A heel lift is a wedge shaped layer of leather which adds extra height to the heels on logger and engineer boots. On boots with logger heels it's possible to have the heels made higher or lower by adding or omitting leather heel lifts which are stacked to make the heels."

"text": "Home For many jobs, the importance of work boots cannot be understated. The right pair can do more than just protect your toes. Choose wisely and they can also protect you from slippery surfaces, exposed nails, cold temperatures, and even electrical charges. There’s also the small matter of comfort to consider. The only thing worse than standing around all day is standing around all day in a poorly fitted boot. The right work boots can give your feet the support that they need. While the importance of work boots is obvious, choosing the best pair, that can be a little more complicated. Should you go by brand or by price? Should you go one size up or one size down? I started this website to answer just these questions."

Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary footwear in the 2010s varies widely in style, complexity and cost. Basic sandals may consist of only a thin sole and simple strap and be sold for a low cost."

"text": "\"The Asian financial crisis that was triggered in July 1997 was a shocker. Even two years after it ended, anxiety still loomed over global financial markets. What was at the time perceived to be a localized currency and financial crisis in Thailand, soon spread to other Southeast Asian countries--including Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. By the fall of 1997, the contagion extended its reach to South Korea, Hong Kong and China. A global financial meltdown had been ignited. In 1998, Russia and Brazil saw their economies enter a free-fall, and international stock markets, from New York to Tokyo, hit record lows as investors' confidence was shaken by the volatility and unpredictability in the world's financial markets. Below is a rundown of events in this global economic crisis over. Could something similar happen again?

"text": "DEFINITION of 'RUB (Russian Ruble)'The RUB is the currency abbreviation for the Russian ruble (RUB), the currency of Russia. The Russian ruble is made up of 100 kopeks and does not have an official symbol. Although no symbol exists officially, py6 (three Cyrillic characters which are the equivalent of RUB in Russian) is currently used. The Ruble has been used since the 13th century, making it the second oldest national currency behind the British pound sterling. Next Up National Welfare Fund (Russia)Russia ETFRedenomination KZTBREAKING DOWN 'RUB (Russian Ruble)'The Ruble was the official currency of the Russian Empire and of the Soviet Union. However, before the fall of the Soviet Empire in 1992, the currency symbol was the SUR, and up until the redenomination in 1998 after the Russian financial crisis, the code for the Ruble was RUR. The 1998 redenomination - which was at a rate of 1000:1 to the old Ruble - came after the Ruble lost more than half its value during the crisis. Russian Ruble banknotes are printed at a state-owned factory in Moscow, which has been in operation since the end of World War I. Coins are minted in both Moscow and at the nearly 300-year old St Petersburg Mint. In late 2017, the National Bank of Ukraine issued a mandate that all Ukrainian banks and other financial institutions were forbidden to circulate Russian banknotes that depict images of Crimea, a region of Ukraine that is commonly regarded as a territory of Russia. While Russia is one of the largest oil exporters, its currency is not heavily correlated to the price of oil due to the ongoing political instability in Russia."

One rouble ( o`din rubl') consists of 100 kopeek (1 kopeika - od`na (one) ko`peika). The exchange rate is 30 roubles to 1 US dollar, 35 Rubles to 1 Euro, and about 50 Rubles to 1 pound sterling .an old soviet 100 rubles banknoe / photo by thereproject@Flick Ran old soviet 100 rubles banknoe / photo by thereproject@Flick RIt's not legal to use US dollars or Euro for transactions in Russia. However, you'll still see a lot of prices marked in Y. E. (which means \"\"units\"\" and usually equals the current US dollar or Euro rate). That is the relic of the 90s, when hyperinflation made it impossible to put the prices in rubles. However, you will still have to pay with rubles in most cases. Generally, foreign currencies are usually used for \"\"under-the-table\"\" transactions, which are not going to be declared. So, you won't be able to use US dollars, Euro, or any other currency in a shop, cafe, or to pay to a service provider, unless he is OK exchanging it on your behalf. Having said that, many Russians still have their savings in US dollars or Euro, partly because of the old tradition, partly because many get their salaries in foreign currencies, partly because they still don't trust in Ruble's stability, so you'll often find that you'll be able to pay to a private person with US dollars or Euro (depending which currency this person trusts better).a currency exchange office in moscow / photo by hidden_shine@flickra currency exchange office in moscow / photo by hidden_shine@flickr How to Keep Your Money - Cash, Travelers Cheques, Credit Cards in Russia It's better to have some cash ($200-400 US - just enough for initial expenses - transport, accommodation, food) when you come to Russia and the rest – on your credit card. If you're going to small towns, cruises, tours or to the countryside, it's better to take cash only, because you might have problems cashing the cards or travelers' cheques."

"text": "What Is Currency Devaluation? - The Street Definition Dictionary of Financial Terms RSS Feed for Devaluation Definition A currency devalues when its value declines in relation to one or more other currencies. Let's say that on Monday $1 bought five rubles and that today, after the devaluation, it buys 10 rubles (not actual figures). Under this scenario, the ruble has devalued by 50%. Why do countries let their currency fall in value? Well, some do it on purpose, usually to try to boost their exports and decrease their imports. How does that work? Let's imagine I'm a Russian vodka exporter and I charge 100 rubles per bottle. On Monday, one bottle cost foreigners $20 (100 divided by five). Today, at the new exchange rate, one bottle costs $10 (100 divided by 10)."

"text": "Canada Lynx Restoration The Canada lynx, a brownish-gray cat usually weighing less than thirty pounds and distinguished by its long black ear tufts, once ranged throughout much of the Northeast and Northwest forests. Today its numbers have dwindled to only several hundred scattered individuals, with the last remaining populations in Maine, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. For almost a decade, conservation groups from around the country, including RESTORE, have been using legal means to pressure the US Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the lynx under the Endangered Species Act in 16 of the lower 48 states. Finally, this hard work paid off. In March 2000, the Canada lynx was protected under the Endangered Species Act. However, on-the-ground efforts to recover this species are proceeding at a very slow pace. Although the lynx is now listed as “threatened,” the US Fish and Wildlife Service has dismissed the Northeast as a low priority area, and they failed to address multiple threats to the species or designate critical habitat. On this basis, the conservation community is continuing to use legal pressure to ensure that the Canada lynx gets the full protection that it deserves. With suitable habitat and abundant prey, Maine represents the best opportunity in the northeast for the survival and eventual recovery of the lynx. Through a federal grant, the state has received funding to do research, which is essential to determine necessary actions to achieve species recovery."

More About Small Wild Cats Three small wild cats are currently listed as ENDANGERED on the IUCN List of Threatened Species – the fishing cat, flat-headed cat and Scottish wild cat. Small wild cats also include the “wildcats” ( felis silvestris) from Asia, Africa and Europe. Approximately 22 subspecies of wildcats that have been grouped either as forest wildcats, steppe wildcats or bay (bush) wildcats. Wildcats are extremely small compared to the big cats, but larger than housecats."

The soft, thick pelage is thickest on the back, and can be variably marked with more or less distinct dark spots, and sometimes small stripes. Northern animals tend to be greyer and less spotted than southern animals. In Scandinavia, spotted cats are called “cat lynx,” while unspotted ones are called “wolf lynx.” Summer coats usually have dark spots that fade to barely visible in the winter.

Its natural habitat is open forest and sand dunes in isolated areas of Spain and Portugal. It is an endangered species, with only 1,000 remaining in the wild. Its prized fur and label of agricultural pest has greatly reduced its range. It is now found mainly in a small enclave in Spain and few scattered populations in remote areas of Portugal. There are noted differences from its relatives, the Eurasian Lynx: it is much smaller and its coat is more heavily marked with darker spots. Its diet primarily consists of rabbits and hare, but will hunt deer, ducks, and fish. It can reach up to 54 pounds, head and body up to three feet, seven inches, tail up to five inches. The female will give birth to two to three young after a nine week gestation period.

As part of this World Wildlife Fund (WWF) scheme, which aims to raise awareness of climate change ahead of the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, some of the major landmarks and businesses throughout Spain including Madrid´s Royal Palace, Málaga´s Royal Palace and Ronda´s New Bridge turned off their lights. We will use Spain’s participation in this initiative as a starting point to look at its environmental progress. During the 2014 European Business Awards for the Environment the Red Eléctrica de España which operates the national electricity grid in Spain won a Business and Biodiversity Award for its work in protecting the avian population using a Geographic Information System to monitor bird flight paths and because of its sustainable energy projects. Some of Spain´s main ecological problems include endangered species, air pollution and deforestation. At the end of 2014 two official reports painted a dismal picture of Spain´s environmental efforts. On the one hand the 2015 Climate Change Performance Index, released by Germanwatch and Climate Change Action Network Europe, ranked Spain as 28 th for its climate protection out of the 61 countries measured and on the other hand the 50 th edition of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species revealed that there are more than 552 endangered species in Spain. However, this article will aim to look beyond these revelations to investigate some of the steps Spain is taking and took in the past to deal with the ecological issues raised by these two organizations as well as other ones which are commonly associated with Spain. We will also look at how it is going beyond findings solutions to its own problems by engaging in schemes to help create a greener planet. To begin with let´s look at the problem of endangered species."

The lion is the most popular national animal in the world. A nation can have an animal, tree, bird, or an object as its national symbol. For example, the Bald Eagle is the national animal of the United States of America. It was adopted as a symbol of national significance by the Continental Congress on June 20th 1782. The design of the Bald Eagle holding 13 arrows, and a 13-leaf olive branch has been the same since its inception.

With the recognised subspecies, it ranges across Canada and into Alaska as well as some parts of the northern United States and extending down the Rocky Mountains to Colorado, where they were reintroduced in the 1990s. With a dense silvery-brown coat, ruffed face and tufted ears, the Canada lynx resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus.

It was first described by scientific writer Robert Kerr in his 1792 work The Animal Kingdom as Felis lynx canadensis. [ 4] The taxonomy of lynxes has remained in dispute; it is not even clear if Lynx should be considered an independent genus or a subgenus of Felis. [ 5] [6] Even the status of the Canada lynx as an independent species is doubted by some authorities. [ 7] For instance, Renn Tumlinson considers the Canada lynx as a subspecies of the Eurasian lynx ( L. lynx) in his 1987 account of the Eurasian lynx in Mammalian Species. [ 8] However, some authorities like zoologist W. Christopher Wozencraft, who revised the classification of carnivorans in 1989 and 1993, consider the two to be separate species. ["

They have a body length of between 85 and 110 cms (34 - 43 inches), a tail length of approximately 13 cms (5 inches) and they weigh between 10 and 13 Kgs (22 - 29 lbs). Their coat is a grey/brown colour with distinctive black markings and a light coloured underside. They have tufted ears, long whiskers and wide feet. The Iberian Lynx is mainly nocturnal but during the winter months it is active during the day. Habitat The Iberian Lynx inhabits the open forests and thickets of the Iberian Peninsula in South West Europe. They are solitary animals except for mothers that have young. The territories of males often overlap the territories of several females, and they mark these by urinating on trees and rocks. Diet The Iberian Lynx is carnivorous and its diet mainly consists of small mammals, mainly rabbits, and birds. If rabbits are scarce deer and mouflon are hunted."

They can only be confused with the closely related Bobcat Lynx rufus in the southern part of their range. A closer look, however, reveals a number of differences. The Lynx has longer legs and broader footpads for walking in deep snow. Their ear tufts are longer, and the facial ruff is more developed. Their tail has a black tip, while the Bobcat’s is more striped and white underneath. These two cat species seem to have divided the continent up between them, with the Bobcat being limited by snow depth to southern Canada through to Central Mexico, and the Canada Lynx in the northern forests. The usual background colour of the fur is a silvery grey or grey brown, but can vary to yellowish‑grey and rusty or reddish‑brown."

Some cacti can be seen growing outdoors in other places with a warm, sunny climate but they have been brought there by man. Deserts Many people think that cacti grow in deserts. Nothing can grow in a true desert – but many cacti do grow in very dry areas which might be known as deserts. The giant saguaro grows in the Sonoran Desert. This is the second largest desert in North America covering parts of California and Arizona and stretching over the border to Mexico. As deserts go this receives quite a lot of water – it has two rainy seasons one in the winter and another in the summer, but nothing in between. As you can see the cacti are growing among other plants, all of which are adapted to survive in dry areas. Mountains The Andes is the longest land mountain range in the world."

The only approach by road is from the west, starting from the dispersed communities of Cave Creek and Carefree, which seem to be nice places to live - they have many adobe houses blending in with an interesting landscape of large granite boulders and desert plants, especially the ever-present saguaro. More expensive homes are built higher up the hilly ground to the north, and these have great views over the desert towards Phoenix. The scenery is similar around the 23 mile road to the lake except there are no houses once past the Tonto National Forest boundary, just countless more cacti, bushes and boulders. These gradually give way to grassy plains as the road climbs to a plateau at 3,300 feet, where a side road forks off north, leading to the more remote Horseshoe Lake. From the junction it is 9 more miles downhill to Bartlett Reservoir, where the grasslands are replaced once more by cacti as the road descends. The Reservoir After a new self-pay fee station the road forks, and the two branches follow the shoreline north and south, passing various sites for picnics, boat launching and camping. For day use, the best area is Rattlesnake Cove - this has shaded tables, fire rings and showers above a wide, clean, sandy beach. A short walk in either direction along the waters edge leads to quiet, private coves with nice rock formations including many dykes (vertical igneous intrusions cutting through overlying strata) and saguaro right next to the water. Further north is the main camping area of Bartlett Flats - here the road splits into a number of sandy tracks that end at sites on beaches close to the water."

Barrel cactus There is nothing quite like the glorious desert, especially Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. The sunsets are breathtaking, the night sky is spectacular, and the tall saguaros (the tall cacti with long arms) lining our highways are entrancing. But what you need to watch out for are the little and mid-sized cacti; these sure can inflict some discomfort. Here a few tips regarding some of the types of cacti you will see in Sonoran Desert and an answer to the question above. After all, it doesn’t take much to end up with a patch of spines, or needles, stuck in your skin. There are several species of “Jumping Cactus” and these succulents are one variety you really need to watch out for. While they don’t actually jump out and attack you they do attach to your skin easily. Just brushing by them is enough to get them to latch on. Prickly pear cacti at the bottom of this photo."

They bloom for just a few days and some only open at night. Identification The cactus is a family of plants that are native to North and South America. There are about 2,000 species of cactus and most grow in hot, dry, desert regions. Some grow as tall trees, such as the saguaro, which is been referred to as the giant cactus. Other cactus, such as the prickly pear, tends to grow closer to the ground. Features The cactus is recognized for its prickly exterior."

Cacti in the landscape evoke images of rugged desert scenery; the saguaro at sunset or a lonely barrel cactus growing on a stretch of barren sand have been made iconic by movies and television. It should come as no surprise then, that these plants contribute to interesting home gardens. Cacti in the landscape also attract a variety of hungry bugs that have no idea they're messing up your carefully arranged desert garden. Fortunately, most cactus bugs are easy to control once you've identified the culprit. Scale and Mealybugs A wide variety of scale insects and mealybugs attach to cacti and feed. These tiny insects, often no more than 1/5-inch long, appear as either barnacle-like or waxy growths on the plant. Scale do not move at all and mealybugs only move very slowly, enhancing their camouflage. In general, the most effective treatment for these tiny bugs is to blast them with a stream of water from a pressurized hose (being careful not to damage the plant)."

Slow growing at first—it reaches only 2 cm (less than 1 inch) in height during its first 10 years—it grows approximately 10 cm (4 inches) a year after attaining a height of 2 to 3 metres (about 6.5 to 10 feet). It blooms for the first time when it is 50 to 75 years old. Mature saguaros may reach 15 metres (almost 50 feet) in height. They may die at 150 to 200 years of age, most commonly by being uprooted by wind or washouts.

In addition to spines protecting them from the elements, cacti also have flowers that bloom from their base. Cacti can be found in the Arizona and California deserts. Barrel Cactus The barrel cactus is commonly found in North American deserts and have a cylindrical shape. The plant grows anywhere from 4 to 10 feet and thrives in dry conditions. A flower sits at the top, and the spines located on the cactus can grow up to a foot in length. Claret Cup Cactus The claret cup cactus, commonly found in the United States and Mexico deserts, grows at higher elevations. The plant grows from 2 to 12 feet. Colorful and decorative flowers bloom during the spring and summer on the cactus, along with long spines."

Images of these cacti are seen all through our lives as a symbol of the American Desert. A trip to the Sonoran Desert is not complete without a examining of one of these famous desert plants. These huge green columnar cactus have fascinated nearly every person who has seen one. To the local Tohono O’Odham people, the saguaro cactus are even more important. These giant cactus are not plants to the Tohono O’Odham, but a different type of humanity, and are viewed as respected members of the Tohono O’Odham Tribe. While the saguaro cactus has become a symbol of the American West, the saguaro cactus will only grow in the Sonoran desert. As a desert indicator species, the range of the saguaro cactus is limited to southern Arizona. Saguaro cactus will grow from sea level to about 4000 feet in elevation. The farther north and higher in elevation you go, the saguaro cactus will restrict their growth to the warmer, south facing slopes."

The hero and his comic-relief sidekick are trudging across the burning sands, looking for water or shelter, and they walk past a towering saguaro cactus. The problem is, they're marching through the deserts of Arabia... In fiction, most deserts have cacti, usually the classic two-armed saguaro, though barrel and beavertail cacti are also popular. But the Sahara only has bushes, dunes and bare rock - cacti are only native to the Americas. And despite its common depiction as the ubiquitous cactus, the saguaro only grows in the Sonoran desert, which covers mostly parts of Southern Arizona, Northern Mexico, and a tiny bit of southern California. It does not include any part of Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, or even Northern Arizona. The entire family of Cactaceae is exclusive to the Americas in its native range — yes, even in high-altitude and colder areas. note You'll only see them elsewhere if they're invasive or purposely cultivated for their fruit or decoration (usually, the latter leads to the former; feral prickly pears descended from ones raised for fruit are a pretty common sight in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East). Of course, fantasy worlds aren't restricted to real-world biomes so the range of cacti species available is up for grabs, but seeing them in the wild outside the western hemisphere is right out."

Wildflowers sprout up everywhere and all of the unassuming desert plants that have been quietly waiting all year, sprout the loveliest flowers in bright colors. When the colors contrast with Arizona’s bright blue sky, the result is simply beautiful. BLOOMING SAGUARO – When people picture Arizona, one of the most common things that comes to mind is the distinctive saguaro cactus, easily identifiable by its multiple arms pointing in every direction. On this particular saguaro, each and every arm of this towering cactus in North Scottsdale is abloom. Incidentally, the lovely white Saguaro blossom is Arizona’s State Wildflower. They can also bloom in yellow, but white is the most common color seen. The flowers tend to bloom at night, which means Scottsdale residents wake up to a seasonal, beautiful display of cactus flowers. The blooming season for saguaros is April through June and during that time, many animals including bees, mourning doves and bats, help with the pollination efforts. Once the short-lived flowers have come and gone, they develop into a red fruit that is full of seeds and is a favorite of many local birds and other desert dwellers."

Most varieties of cacti don't succumb to many pests or disease, but the grubs of certain insects can cause extensive damage to cactus plants. If left untreated, grubs can destroy a cactus plant. Weevils Many types of weevils can burrow into cacti, lay their eggs and cause damage to the plant. The vine weevil is a large gray insect that lays eggs in the late summer. The eggs hatch into white larvae with brown heads. These grubs eat the root of the cactus and then move into the stem, which causes the plant to collapse. Notches on the leaves of a cactus are a signal that vine weevils are present. The agave snout beetle is a black insect that lays eggs in late spring or early summer.

They are the only felid with non-retractable claws and pads that, by their scope, disallow gripping (therefore cheetahs cannot climb vertical trees, although they are generally capable of reaching easily accessible branches). The cheetah, however, achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds. Adaptations that enable the cheetah to run as fast as it does include large nostrils that allow for increased oxygen intake, and an enlarged heart and lungs that work together to circulate oxygen efficiently. During a typical chase, its respiratory rate increases from 60 to 150 breaths per minute. While running, in addition to having good traction due to its semi-retractable claws, the cheetah uses its tail as a rudder-like means of steering to allow it to make sharp turns, necessary to outflank prey animals that often make such turns to escape.

Sailfish are a very well-known species of fish (you've probably heard of them, and maybe even seen one mounted) because of their popularity among sport fishermen. They are world-renowned for the challenge they provide even the most experienced anglers. In fact, there isn't much science knows about this species of fish, except what observations fishermen have gathered from encounters with it. Over-fishing of this magnificent fish has led to a noticeable decline in their numbers, so that many people who fish for them are putting them back after they've caught them (called \"\"catch and release\"\"). Even as well known as they are, sailfish are a difficult species to study because they are highly migratory and are typically found many hundreds of miles from shore. These two factors make it very difficult for scientists to locate, tag, and collect data on specimens. Cooperation from sport fishermen who prize this species is essential for scientists to learn more about the sailfishes' range and behavior."

"text": "Not Exactly Rocket Science A Blog by Ed Yong Sailfish Use Inescapable Face- Swords to Wound, Then Kill Posted Tue, 04/22/2014Meet the sailfish—a predator that combines teamwork, ninja-like stealth, record-breaking speed, chameleonic colour changes, and a weapon that looks like a sword, works like a sword, and is mounted on its face. It is surely one of the most spectacular hunters in the ocean. Thanks to a new study by Jens Krause, we now have a much better idea of its technique, and how it uses that distinctive pointed snout. Sailfish typically grow to around 3 metres in length and are among the fastest of fish, reaching speeds of up to 68 miles per hour (110 kilometres per hour). Like their relatives, the swordfishes and marlins, their upper jaws end in a sharp, protruding bill. Many people assumed that the bills are used to attack prey, but others have claimed that they are too fragile; instead, they might help the fish to swim faster by cutting down on drag. Krause became captivated by sailfish after watching a sequence in the classic 2001 documentary Blue Planet, in which a hundred-strong team take out a school of smaller fish. He wanted to see these hunts for himself and in 2011, he got his wish. “ I took a trip organised by Shark Diver magazine,” he says. “ They claimed it was possible to observe these animals."

Marlin can be found from the Southern part of Costa Rica in the Golfito area, all the way up to the Northern Pacific Coast. Top Spots in Costa Rica: Golfito, Drake’s Bay and Los Suenos. Best Months: December to April, with Black Marlin showing up in April and May. Smaller, Striped Marlin are caught year-round. Sailfish Description: Sailfish have made Los Suenos Costa Rica famous in the fishing world with events such as the Annual World Billfish Series Championships and Los Suenos Signature Billfish Series. The Sailfish have been aptly named as they spend more time in the air than in the water when on the hook. These beautiful fish are not as powerful as Marlin, but equally spectacular. Top Spots in Costa Rica: Los Suenos. Best Months: December to March are the strongest months, with February being the peak of Sailfish density – however, Sailfish are caught year round out of Los Suenos.

Almost all amphibians have thin, moist skin that helps them breathe. No other group of animals has this special skin. Most amphibians undergo a unique change from larvae to adults, called metamorphosis. All amphibians are ectotherms (what used to be called \"\"cold-blooded\"\"), a trait they share with invertebrates, fish, and reptiles. Thin-skinned Most amphibians have thin skin that is very permeable (allowing liquids and gases to pass through it easily). This is important for two reasons. First, it means that their skin helps them breathe, since oxygen passes easily through it. Second, it means that amphibians lose a lot of water through their skin."

Answer by Tanzila Jamal Confidence votes 71Salamander is the common name applied to approximately 500 species of amphibians typically with slender bodies, short legs, and long tails. The moist skin of these amphibians usually makes them reliant on habitats in or near water or under some protection on moist ground, often in a swamp. Some species are aquatic throughout life, some take to the water intermittently, and some are entirely terrestrial as adults. The Chinese Giant Salamander is fully aquatic and is the largest of all salamanders, growing up to 1.8 meters and really cool. A salamander lives in America and temperate zones of Northern Africa.

These amphibians have natural camouflage. Their skin is brown with black splotches - perfect for blending in with their surroundings and avoiding potential predators.

Unlike reptiles, amphibians have moist, scaleless skin, bulging eyes, and no claws on their feet. Adult tiger salamanders have a broad head, a long sticky tongue, and a mouth shaped almost like a smile. Their four legs extend from the sides of their bodies, giving them a peculiar gait. The adult normal body length for a tiger salamander is 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) with a record length of 13 inches (33 cm). They are easily recognized by their olive or yellow bars, blotches, or spots along their black or brownish body. When first hatched in the water, tiger salamander larvae are tiny, almost transparent and without legs. They have external gills that extend in long feathery plumes to take oxygen from the water. They rapidly grow to almost adult size and develop legs."

"text": "Politics & Government Civic Participation What is Gerrymandering?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Gerrymandering is a form of redistribution in which electoral district or constituency boundaries are deliberately modified for electoral advantage. Gerrymandering may be used to help or hinder particular constituents, such as members of a political, racial, linguistic, religious or class group. The term gerrymandering is derived from Elbridge Gerry (1744–1814), the governor of Massachusetts from 1810 to 1812. It is a portmanteau of Gerry and salamander; the districts drawn in this case were shaped like a salamander. [ 1] The term first appeared in the Boston Gazette on March 26, 1812 (see image). In 1812, Governor Gerry signed a bill into law that redistricted his state to benefit his Democratic-Republican party.

If you intend to keep a salamander as a pet,you should know what to feed and what not to feed to a salamander. Salamanders are typically characterized by their slender body, short nose, long tail, and -- most important of all -- their unique ability of regrowing lost limbs and tail. It might come as a surprise for some of you, but salamanders have been thriving on the planet for more than 100 million years now. They have become popular as pets, mainly because of their docile nature and colorful appearance, and this, in turn, has made people curious about their behavior in both, wild and captivity. Approximately 550 species of salamanders are found on the planet; some of these are aquatic in nature and seldom come on land, while some are totally terrestrial in nature and seldom enter water. Some of these species breathe through lungs, some through their skin, and there are some which breathe through their mouth. Most popular species of salamander include the Pacific giant salamander, spotted salamander, hell-bender, and the tiger salamander. Salamanders - What Do They Eat?"

"text": "WHAT ARE SALAMANDERS? Salamanders are amphibians which are nocturnal and (unlike the noisy frogs) they are quiet. They have slender bodies, long tails, and front and hind legs that are nearly equal in size. Some salamanders have tails that break off. When a predator grabs it by the tail, the tail just snaps off and continues to wiggle. This gives the predator a tasty morsel to distract him while the salamander runs away and grows a new tail. Salamanders are not lizards, as people often think they are. Lizards are reptiles, not amphibians. Lizards also have scaly skin, claws, and external ear openings. Salamanders have none of those things."

They have a long body, a long tail and four legs. Salamanders walk over the ground and creep along the bottoms of waters. They swim using the tail that acts as an oar. They have five toes on their hind legs and four toes on the fore or front legs. Most salamanders have smooth and slick skin. They need to keep their skin moist or they could die. Therefore, they are found mainly in cool and shady places like under rocks, logs, under fallen leaves, in damp burrows and some in the water."

Compared to other salamanders, the body is stout with a broadly rounded snout. The sides of the head are often swollen at the back of the jaw. The legs are large and strong with four to five toes. ( Petranka, 1998)When they leave their ponds, spotted salamanders are black, dark brown, or dark grey on their backs, and the belly of these salamanders is a pale greyish-blue. The common name comes from two rows of yellow or orange spots which run from the head to the end of the tail. Spotted salamanders with no spots are sometimes found, but are very rare. ( Conant, 1975; North American Reporting Center for Amphibian Malformations, 2003; Petranka, 1998)Spotted salamanders have poison glands in their skin, mostly on their backs and tails. These glands release a sticky white toxic liquid when the animal is threatened. ("

"text": "\"By Newt Question submitted by Alyssa, age 7, Spencerport, NYAlyssa, thank you so much for your question. Salamanders are one of my favorite subjects!One of the reasons I find salamanders so interesting is the fact that most people think they are lizards. Salamanders are shaped quite a bit like lizards, but are not related to them at all. Salamanders are amphibians; they are related to frogs and toads! Like all amphibians, they share a few things in common with their frog and toad relatives, including moist skin and the absence of claws on their toes. Salamanders go through a complex life cycle. Most salamanders lay their eggs in water. When the eggs hatch, the baby salamanders look more like tadpoles than salamanders, and are called \"\"salamander nymphs.\"\" The nymphs have feathery gills that extend from the sides of their necks and help the young salamanders absorb oxygen from the water. While they continue to grow, over a period of usually about 1-3 months, the nymphs feed on small animals and organisms that live in the water."

A salivary gland infection occurs when a bacterial or viral infection affects your salivary gland or duct. The infection can result from reduced saliva flow, which can be due to a blockage or inflammation of your salivary duct. The condition is called sialadenitis. Saliva aids digestion, breaks down food, and works to keep your mouth clean. It washes away bacteria and food particles. It also helps control the amount of good and bad bacteria in your mouth. Fewer bacteria and food particles are washed away when saliva doesn’t freely travel throughout your mouth. This may lead to infection. You have three pairs of large (major) salivary glands."

The most obvious symptom is swelling of the salivary glands, giving the patient a \"\"hamster-like\"\" face. The affected salivary glands are called the parotid glands; sometimes, the mumps virus can also cause inflammation of the testis, ovary, pancreas, or meninges (membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord). Once someone has had mumps, they usually become immune to future infections. To reduce the spread of mumps, the MMR ( measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is often given at an early age to build immunity to the virus. Since the MMR vaccination was brought in, there has been a 99 percent decrease in mumps cases in the United States. Fast facts on mumps Here are some key points about mumps. More detail and supporting information is in the main article. Mumps is extremely contagious. Around 20 percent of people with the mumps virus show no symptoms."

"text": "Measles, Mumps, Rubella Symptoms and Causesdiagnosis Measles: A doctor can usually diagnose measles based on the disease's characteristic rash as well as the small, bright red spots with bluish-white centers on the inside lining of the cheek. Because measles is so uncommon in the United States today, a doctor may take a blood sample from the patient to confirm whether the rash is truly measles. The individual's blood may be tested for the measles virus. Mumps: If a doctor suspects that an individual has mumps, a virus culture or a blood test may be needed. The blood test can detect mumps antibodies, which indicate whether the individual had a recent or past infection. Most individuals who have mumps will be protected (immune) from getting mumps again. A small percentage of individuals who have been exposed to the mumps virus may be reinfected with mumps and have a milder form of the illness. Rubella: The rubella rash can look like many other viral rashes. Doctors usually confirm rubella with the help of laboratory tests to detect the virus. Individuals may have a virus culture or a blood test, which can detect the presence of different types of rubella antibodies in the blood."

A salivary gland infection occurs when a bacterial or viral infection affects your salivary gland or duct. The infection can result from reduced saliva flow, which can be due to a blockage or inflammation of your salivary duct. The condition is called sialadenitis. Saliva aids digestion, breaks down food, and works to keep your mouth clean. It washes away bacteria and food particles. It also helps control the amount of good and bad bacteria in your mouth. Fewer bacteria and food particles are washed away when saliva doesn’t freely travel throughout your mouth. This may lead to infection. You have three pairs of large (major) salivary glands."

"text": "\"Infectious Diseases More Infectious Diseases Mumps Virus Information, Symptoms, and Treatment\"\"Chipmunk Cheeks\"\" Caused by a Virus By Ingrid Koo, Ph DUpdated June 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print Lambert/Getty Images Mumps, a viral disease characterized by “chipmunk cheeks,” was first described by Hippocrates over 2,000 years ago. Prior to the introduction of the mumps vaccine (part of the MMR vaccine) in 1967, mumps was a common cause of childhood disease. Although the number of cases has dropped dramatically due to the widespread use of this highly effective vaccine, cases of mumps still occur, such as those in the 2006 outbreak in the Midwest. Name: Paramyxovirus Type of Microbe: RNA virus How it causes disease: The mumps virus enters through the upper respiratory tract and spreads throughout the body via the lymphatic system (which circulates cells and fluids of the immune system). The virus moves to the salivary and other glands and induces an inflammatory response and edema (accumulation of fluid), leading to painful, swollen salivary glands. How it spreads: Mumps spreads from person-to-person through airborne droplets and saliva. The virus can also be transmitted through contaminated surfaces. The infection is very contagious, especially to people who lack immunity, and can be spread from 3 days before to 6 days after symptoms appear. The CDC recommends isolating people with mumps for 5 days after symptoms appear. Who’s at risk?"

"text": "\"Efflorescence Causes, Removal, and Prevention Efflorescence is a crystaline deposit on surfaces of masonry, stucco or concrete. It is whitish in appearance, and is sometimes referred to as \"\"whiskers\"\". Efflorescence has been a problem for many years, and is a topic of much controversy. The formation of these salt deposits are not mysteries. They are, for the most part, water-soluble salts that come from many possible sources to mar and detract from an otherwise beautiful and serviceable structure. First of all, there must be water present to dissolve and transport the salts. Groundwater is often a source of efflorescence. For water to carry or move the salts to the surface there must be channels through which to move and migrate. The more dense the material, whether it be brick, stone, stucco or concrete, the more difficult for the water to transport salts to the surface. Conversely, the more porous the material, the greater the ease with which salts are transported and deposited."

"text": "Show answers Print Version (with answers)Introduction Many salts have a wide range of uses, but not all we require are found naturally. Salts can be made by many different methods, but two methods in particular are useful in making soluble salts: A water-insoluble metal, metal oxide, metal hydroxide or metal carbonate is reacted with an acid solution. A water-soluble metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal carbonate or ammonia will form an alkaline solution, which will react with an acid solution. Although many salts are helpful and safe to use in many ways (e.g. sodium chloride 'salt' on chips! ), they can also be harmful, raising health and safety issues when using them. Task 1: Making Bordeaux mixture Model 1Open Yenka file Model 1. It is possible to produce a range of soluble salts from the reaction of acids with other compounds. Some examples are shown in the model, namely: - acid + metal - acid + insoluble base - acid + soluble base (a) Add the zinc and the sulfuric acid to the beaker. Write a word equation for the reaction. ( b) Add the copper oxide and dilute nitric acid to the beaker (copper nitrate cannot be prepared by the direct reaction of copper with dilute nitric acid because copper does not react readily with nitric acid)."

Hydrophobic residues predominantly occur in the globular protein core, but some exist in patches on the surface. Proteins that have high hydrophobic amino acid content on the surface have low solubility in an aqueous solvent. Charged and polar surface residues interact with ionic groups in the solvent and increase the solubility of a protein. Knowledge of a protein's amino acid composition will aid in determining an ideal precipitation solvent and methods. Repulsive electrostatic force [ edit]Repulsive electrostatic forces form when proteins are dissolved in an electrolyte solution. These repulsive forces between proteins prevent aggregation and facilitate dissolution."

"text": "Lead Chloride, Pb Cl 2Follow @Atomistry Lead Chloride, Pb Cl 2, occurs as the somewhat rare mineral cotunnite, which is of volcanic origin, and has been found in the crater and lava of Vesuvius. It was known to Dioscorides that yellow oxide of lead turns white when placed in warm water with common salt. Lead chloride may be obtained in various ways. Chlorine slowly attacks lead, forming the chloride; the metal dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid in presence of air, but in the strong acid, with evolution of hydrogen, to form the chloride; also the oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate may be dissolved in hydrochloric acid; but a more usual way of preparing this salt is to precipitate a moderately concentrated solution of the nitrate or acetate with hydrochloric acid or a soluble chloride. The chloride may then be purified by recrystallisation from hot water. Lead chloride crystallises anhydrous in white, silky, rhombic needles, having a density of 5.802. Numerous observers have determined the melting-point of this salt, which lies between 485° C. and 512° C. Its boiling-point is 956° C., and its vapour has a density of 9.64 (air = 1) or 138.8 ( H = 1) at 1070° C., which corresponds to the molecular formula Pb Cl 2. In the fused state molecular association exists. The specific heat of the solid salt between ordinary temperature and 100° C. was found by Regnault to be 0.0664, and its molecular heat of formation is 82,800 or 83,900 calories, or, according to Koref and Braune, 85,570 calories. Lead chloride is sparingly soluble in cold and considerably more soluble in hot water."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Chemistry Effect of temperature on the solubility of salt in water. ? 1 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Solubility is the number of grams of the solute that will dissolve in 100 g of the solvent. Some things may dissolve in water but not in other liquids and some things may dissolve in other liquids and not in water. Water is a polar solvent. Polar solvents are liquids whose molecules display a permanent dipole. A dipole has two oppositely charged poles (like a magnet). A molecule with a dipole is a molecule with a positive and a negative end. Ionic compounds are compounds that will split into two or more ions when placed in a liquid. Ions are particles that are positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions). Ionising liquids (polar liquids capable of dissolving ionic compounds) will dissolve ionic compounds well because they can pull both anions (with the positive ends of the molecules) and cations off (with the negative ends of its molecules)."

The ability of molecular materials to mix with one another depends, to a very great extent, on intermolecular bond types.

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

Grapefruit & Iron Iron salts are the most common type of supplemental iron for one major reason: their ability to break down in water. The extent to which they break down in water varies greatly, however, with some iron salts being much more soluble than others. Though most iron supplements are at least somewhat water-soluble, iron does not dissolve in water. As this affects your body's ability to deal with excess iron, you should limit yourself to the recommended daily intake of 8 milligrams for men and 18 milligrams for women. Iron Salts Supplemental iron typically comes in one of two forms: ferric salts or ferrous salts. Similar to table salt, these iron salts break down into their component parts in water. Despite their lower iron content, your body can use these soluble forms of iron much more easily than pure iron. But these soluble forms of iron present some problems in your body. Unfortunately, more soluble forms of iron are more likely to react with fats to produce free radicals, which can cause damage to cells throughout your body."

In this process one has to have a solution of known strength called standard solution and using this solution the strength of the solution in question can be found out. This process of titrations depends upon the chemical reaction that occurs between these solutions. The point of the complete conversion of the unknown strength solution in to the product is called the equivalence point. It is difficult to gauge the exact point in many cases particularly if the solutions are colorless or similarly colored. In order to arrive at the most nearby equivalence point or end point a supportive chemical is used in very small quantities which will not interfere with the estimation but indicates the equivalence point by a significant change of color. These substances are called indicators. Complexometric Titration Definition Back to Top A very common example one can get is the use of indicator in the acid base titrations. In the titration of hydrochloric acid (taken in the burette) with sodium hydroxide to find the strength of the latter, one uses a few drops of phenolphthalein.

Unfortunately, many people tend to do little or no research on this topic, which often causes them to pay more income tax than they really owe. To help you avoid making such a mistake, this article will touch on some of the ways you get the most out of your tax return . Claim All Deductions Deductions, in a nutshell, are simply qualified expenses that reduce your taxable income. Most taxpayers tend to focus on the common and well know deductions, but there are several uncommon deductions you may qualify for. Examples include: Fees and dues to professional societies: You might have paid these fees to maintain your membership for professional purposes, such as maintaining a professional certification, maintaining your membership in a civic or public service organization or your membership in a business league. Job search expenses: You can deduct expenses related to job-searches - even if you did not get a job - as long as the job you were looking for is one in your present occupation. Travel expenses: If you had to travel away from home on a temporary assignment for work, you might be able to deduct related travel expenses. Charitable donations: If you made donations to charitable organizations such as the Salvation Army, the value of the items donated is deductible. Be sure to keep receipts for your donated items as the IRS requires that you have written confirmation for all charitable donations."

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

Regardless of the condition of your fiberglass boat, you may be able to donate it to a good cause instead of having it destroyed. Many charitable organizations will accept a boat as a donation. They will sell it and put the money to good use and you'll get to claim the value as a tax deduction. If you can't find an organization near you that will accept your boat as a donation, you may have other recycling options. Donate your fiberglass boat to an organization such as Goodwill, Salvation Army or even a local church. Your donation with help the organization raise more money to help those in need. The boat will be sold, often at auction, and the money put charitable use such disaster relief or hunger programs.

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

"text": "Where to Donate Used Furniture to Charity By Angela Colley Posted in: Giving, Home Improvement Share 3 Tweet 6 Pin 2 Comments 13A few months ago, I decided that buying furniture online would be an ideal way to refurnish my house. However, when the pieces started to arrive, I quickly realized that much of my older furniture had to go. At first, I planned to sell on Craigslist or run some e Bay auctions, but in the end, I decided to donate the furniture to a local charity. If you donate your unwanted furniture to charity, you can deduct the donation from your taxes at the end of the year. This can add up to a sizable write-off, even if you do not have many pieces to donate. For each piece of furniture you donate, you can deduct the current fair market value from your taxes. To make this process easier, the Salvation Army has a Donation Valuation Guide to help you determine the fair market value for your furniture. The guide has a low and high range for furnishings. Select fair and reasonable prices within this range to ensure the accuracy of your tax write-offs. Several national charities will pick up furniture donations from your house, or you can take your furniture to a smaller nonprofit organization in your area."

At first glance, I though I had a pair of Versaces, but it turns out the brand is Verse. All of the fabric/cleaning info sewn into the pants was in German, so I had to google. It turns out that cupro is a fancy “silk substitute” like rayon and tencel are designed to be. It is made from wood fiber and cotton by-products. ( I thought I was holding silk, at first, but I recognize the word for silk in most languages, so then I was fearful about cleaning issues)No worries. I googled cupro fabric, found out what it is, then I googled “cleaning cupro fabric” and found out that it can be washed and dried in washing machines and dryers. It can also be line-dried, and dry-cleaned. Hooray! My Salvation Army score is truly a score!"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sustainable clothing refers to fabrics derived from eco-friendly resources, such as sustainably grown fiber crops or recycled materials. It also refers to how these fabrics are made. Historically, being environmentally conscious towards clothing meant (1) buying clothes from thrift stores or any shops that sell second-hand clothing, or (2) donating used clothes to shops previously mentioned, for reuse or resale. In modern times, with a prominent trend towards sustainability and being ‘green’, sustainable clothing has expanded towards (1) reducing the amount of clothing discarded to landfills, and (2) decreasing the environmental impact of agro-chemicals in producing conventional fiber crops (e.g. cotton). The \"\"three pillars\"\" of sustainability bounded by the environment (earth, life)Under the accordance of sustainability, recycled clothing upholds the principle of the \"\"Three R’s of the Environment\"\": Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, as well as the \"\"Three Legs of Sustainability\"\": Economics, Ecology, and Social Equity. Through the utilization of recycled material for the manufacturing of clothing, this provides an additional realm of economic world profit. Sustainable Clothing will provide a new market for additional job opportunities, continuous net flow of money in the economy, and the reduction of raw materials and virgin resources. Source reduction or reducing the use of raw materials and virgin resources can ultimately reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process as well as the resources and carbon emissions that are related to the transportation process. This also prevents the unsustainable usage of extracting materials from the Earth by making use of what has already been used (i.e. recycling).

"text": "How to get a tax deduction for charitable donations Kay Bell March 27, 2017 in Taxes JGI/Jamie Grill/Getty Images Giving away your stuff that no longer brings you joy may instead bring happiness to others who could use them. An added bonus: You get a tax deduction for your charitable donations if you itemize deductions. However, it’s your job to keep track of the items you give to charity so you can report their value to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS says donated clothing and other household goods must be “in good used condition or better.” If you claim a deduction of $500 or more for a used item that’s not in good condition, the IRS says you’d better get an appraisal. Several computer software programs are available to help you figure the tax value of your donated stuff. The list of some common items, below, gives you an idea of what your donated clothing and household goods are worth, as suggested in the Salvation Army’s valuation guide. Men’s clothing worksheet Item (s) Average price per item (low) Average price per item (high) Number of items x price = donation amount Total of all donated items: Shirt $2.50 $12.00Slacks $5.00 $12.00Sweater $2.50 $12.00Overcoat $15.00 $60.00Suit $15.00 $60.00Jacket $7.50 $25.00Shoes $3.50 $25.00Women’s clothing worksheet Item (s) Average price per item (low) Average price per item (high) Number of items x price = donation amount Total of all donated items: Blouse $2.50 $12.00Slacks $3.50 $12.00Sweater $3.75 $15.00Overcoat $10.00 $40.00Handbag $2.00 $20.00Suit $6.00 $25.00Jacket $4.00 $12.00Shoes $2.00 $25.00Children’s clothing worksheet Item (s) Average price per item (low) Average price per item (high) Number of items x price = donation amount Total of all donated items: Blouse $2.00 $8.00Shirt $2.00 $6.00Dress $3.50 $12.00Slacks $2.00 $8.00Jeans $3.50 $12.00Coat $4.50 $20.00Sweater $2.50 $8.00Shoes $2.50 $8.75Household goods worksheet Item (s) Average price per item (low) Average price per item (high) Number of items x price = donation amount Total of all donated items: Towels $0.50 $4.00Sheets $2.00 $8.00Blanket $3.00 $15.00Bicycle $5.00 $80.00Floor lamp $6.00 $50.00Sofa $35.00 $200.00Throw rug $1.50 $12.00Color TV $75.00 $225.00Kitchen set complete $35.00 $170.00Bedroom set complete $250.00 $1,000.00You don’t have to send in a list of donated items with your return.

"text": "\"Giving gifts is a way to show love and support for friends and family on special occasions, but gifts can also have an effect on your personal tax situation. The Internal Revenue Service offers tax deductions on many types of financial activities, but you cannot deduct gifts to friends and family to lower your liability. In fact, the IRS imposes a \"\"gift tax\"\" that can force you pay more taxes if you make too many large gifts. Gift Tax Basics Tax deductions and credits the IRS offers typically revolve around giving you tax breaks for activities it deems to be worthwhile, like having children, going to college, buying health insurance and giving to charity. Giving gifts to friends and family is a personal choice that generally has no bearing on your tax situation. The exception is if you happen to give gifts of substantial value. The IRS says that if you give gifts worth more than $13,000 to a single individual over the course of a year, the amount that exceeds $13,000 is subtracted from a lifetime unified credit of $5 million. If you use up your lifetime unified credit, further gifts in excess of $13,000 incur a gift tax. The annual gift exemption is $26,000 for married couples. Estate Tax The estate tax is a tax due on the wealth or estate you leave behind to your friends and family after you pass away."

"text": "Charitable Donations: The Basics of Giving Personal Finance Taxes Charitable By Hayden Adams January 02, 2018While it may be better to give than to receive, with proper planning it’s possible to do both at the same time. You may have many financial goals, including giving to the causes that are most important to you. Consider these strategies to make the greatest impact while potentially receiving tax savings for yourself, too. Ground rules for giving The tax aspects of charitable giving can be complex, so it’s always a good idea to consult a tax professional about your giving strategy. That said, here are a few ground rules: Request a receipt if you make a donation of $250 or more to a single charity. But if the donation is in cash, you'll need a receipt or a corroborating bank record, regardless of amount. Get an independent appraisal for gifts of property in excess of $5,000 ($10,000 for closely held stock). You won't need an appraisal for exchange-traded stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Subtract the value of any benefits you received for your charitable contribution (for example books, tapes, meals, entertainment and so on) before you deduct it. Itemize deductions on your tax return if you plan to deduct charitable donations."

I say this because i would consider the Husky more aggressive Answer by i <3 pups We'll start with the Samoyed, which I recommend: The Samoyed is a little more obedient than the Husky, but both are not very easy to train. They both do great in cold weather and they both shed a lot. Samoyeds are more devoted and affectionate towards the family. These are very gentle towards people, especially children. It is definitely not as active as the husky, but still needs exercise, about 4 long walks, 2 romps in the yard, and an hour long session of playtime. Samoyeds are very high maintenance though : they need at least 20 min. of brushing with a firm, metal bristled, slicker brush, and a pro job done monthly."

"text": "Editors' pick: Originally published Feb. 16. Buying the right dog for you and your family is always an extremely important decision. There's a lot to consider — the pup's temperament, how big he'll grow to be versus your living arrangements, and the cost of upkeep and medical care. Granted you should always consider adopting from your local shelter, because it'll save both the dog and some cash for you, but then you won't know the dog's health history. If you're purchasing from a breeder, you should find a dog who has a three-generation health history while taking into consideration the travel expenses or shipping costs to acquire said puppy. Pet insurance costs will also vary by breed based on their predisposition to certain ailments or health defects. For example, Rottweilers are on the list of Nationwide Pet Insurance's list of ten breeds with the highest insurance claims. With all that said, here are ten of the most expensive dog breeds in the world, because if you're planning on treating your dog to a life of luxury, the puppy is probably going to come with a hefty price tag as well. All of the prices are rough estimates on the lower end and the cost will ultimately depend on the breeder and the dog's location.

Favourite activities: Bred originally to work for Siberian tribesmen, this breed is somewhat of a work horse and thrives on outdoor physical activity. The Samoyed will excel at training and agility, loves sledding and going for a daily walk. But once the exercise is out of the way for the day, your pooch will love nothing better than to settle down with its pack and have a good rest. Watchdog qualities: The Samoyed is not considered an effective watchdog as its friendly personality makes it a people-lover rather than a skeptic of strangers."

Some breeds follow Hollywood trends, and some are rarely bred at all driving up their prices. The lowest price we've ever had advertised for the Samoyed is $500; the most expensive price is $600. Generally the average Samoyed costs around $300 to purchase. Keep this in mind when you see the prices vary greatly within our listings. If you don’t mind having the runt of the litter, or a pup who is far from a champion Samoyed, by all means explore the cheaper options. But if you want a model pup you’re likely going to have to pay for it. Just be sure you’re not supporting a backyard breeder or abusive owner as sadly these days we see far too many of them around.

"text": "\"Different Types Of Husky There is sometimes some confusion between Eurohounds, Alaskan huskies, Siberian huskies and Malamutes. However, they can all be referred to, quite accurately, as sleddogs. They are just good at slightly different things in the sleddog world!When most people think of a 'sleddog', their first thought is of the kind of dog used in Hollywood films. In other words, a large fluffy Malamutes or a large Siberian with blue eyes. This, therefore, has become the stereotypical image of the sled dog for most people. However the vast majority of safari companies, for instance, use, rather, so-called 'Alaskan' huskies which may in fact be quite far from this 'typical' Holywood husky in appearance. Similarly, the vast majority of racing huskies are either Alaskan huskies or Eurohounds (with the super short-haired Eurohounds being used primarily in the sprint-distances races). At Hetta Huskies, we are happy to have a wide-range of breeds and types of sleddog, even if the majority are 'so-called' Alaskan huskies, since we also offer a wide-range of tours. Visitors love having their picture taken with the picture-perfect Siberians, Taimyrs or Malamutes, for instance, whilst at the same time, they enjoy the speed involved with running with the faster Alaskans. I found the following image on a sleddog facebook forum, one day, which I thought was pretty good.... The 'Alaskan Husky' is essentially a mixed breed sled dog that is defined by its job and performance and not its appearance."

I do not believe that Samoyed are hypoallergenic. All dogs shed, and those that claim to be hypoallergenic, are usually breeds that are low shedders like poodles, schnauzers & Portugese water dogs. I suggest you better do more research. I read the breed standard from the AKC website and it says nothing about being hypoallergenic.

"text": "The skin and coat of a dog may sometimes change color or become lighter or darker. This may be a normal process, or may be due to a serious disease. If the skin or coat has a color other than white, it is said to be 'pigmented.' Colors include brown, black, red, purple, and yellow. If the skin is a darker color than normal, it is said to be 'hyperpigmented.' The table below provides a list of the majority of the conditions, which are associated with pigment change. This extensive listing helps you understand why a quick diagnosis may be difficult to make and various diagnostic tests may need to be performed. The most common conditions causing pigment or color changes are color-coded gray in the table (some may be more common in certain geographical areas).

Any purebred puppy you've ever gotten from a reputable breeder, not just current ones. I'm trying to get a sense of how much money is average to spend on a dog, as I don't want to buy too expensive a dog only to realize I could've spent less and still found a reputable breeder. As luck would have it, I've fallen in love with Samoyed dogs- beautiful, even-tempered dogs with a reputation for mischief but all in all a great breed for my living situation. ( Lots of siblings, big family, tons of time on my hands.) But- They're one of the most expensive breeds of dogs, and my parents are a little old-fashioned- we're not poor by any means and could probably afford a more pricey dog, but they don't really think more then a thousand dollars or so is reasonable, and to be honest, I tend to agree. Which makes me wonder if this isn't an outdated way of looking at things? Which makes me want to ask you lovely folks what you paid- most dog breeders don't list their puppy prices unless you are making a serious inquiry- so I can get a feel for how things are on the dog-buying (From a reputable breeder, of course) market.10-11-2010, 04:50 PM # 2pawzaddict Senior Member User Dogs Join Date: May 2009Posts: 12,135Mentioned: 0 Post (s)Tagged: 0 Thread (s)I dont purchase PB dogs but know that most breeds you will be paying over one thousand for if you get it from a reputable breeder...10-11-2010, 05:29 PM # 3Tulip Senior Member User Dogs Join Date: Sep 2010Posts: 1,088Mentioned: 0 Post (s)Tagged: 0 Thread (s)Here, the average price of a purebred puppy from a REPUTABLE breeder (it's a red flag for me if I see it much lower, or much higher) is about £900."

In fact, dogs resembling the Basenji can be seen in sculptures in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs.#4 – Chinese Shar Pei Although the Shar Pei now looks very different to the original, called “Bone-mouthed” Shar Pei (that can still be found in China), this breed has been seen in pictures on pottery dating back to 206 BCE.#5 – Chow Chow Researchers believe this fluffy breed is one of the first to evolve from the wolf – and recent DNA studies have potentially confirmed this hypothesis.#6 – Pekingese This small breed is over 2,000 years old, and it has changed very little over that time.#7 – Saluki The Saluki is up against the Basenji for one of the oldest breeds. This beautiful dog has been found in rock art dating back to 10,000 BC. They were considered to be the “Royal Dog of Egypt. ”#8 – Samoyed Samoyeds have been used for sledding, guarding, and herding for over 3,000 years.#9 – Shih Tzu Although not recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1969, the Shih Tzu is descended from dogs dating back to 800 BC.#10 – Tibetan Terrier Tibetan Terriers were kept as a pure breed for over 2,000 years, simply due to the geographically isolated location of Tibet.

"text": "1. CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE USE OF ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONSThe examples of both the United States and France, which represent countries of common and civil law tradition respectively, have been studied to identify and analyze the principal constitutional issues raised by the use of administrative sanctions by administrative agencies,1.1 Delegation and separation of powers The first objection that was raised against the use of administrative sanctions by administrative agencies was that imposition of sanctions by the executive was contrary to the principle of separation of powers. According to this concept, the government is divided into three branches: the legislative, which is empowered to make laws, the executive, which is required to implement the laws, and the judicial, which is charged with interpreting the laws and adjudicating disputes under the laws. Under this constitutional doctrine, one branch is in principle not permitted to encroach on the domain or exercise the powers of another branch. Representative democracies such as the United States and France have given this concept a constitutional value [8]. Contrary to the idea conveyed by this concept, in reality there is no strict division of powers. Even the original wording of both the Constitutions of the United States and France [9] blends the powers among the three branches of government. For instance, the President of the United States takes part in the legislative function by proposing laws and by having a veto power over laws enacted by Congress [10]. Similarly, the French Prime Minister is entitled to participate in the legislative function through the proposition of laws [11]. It is therefore accepted that the principle of separation of powers reflects more a general governmental system than an intractable form of organization. Then, it is the function of the constitutional courts [12] to determine the degree of flexibility that can be allowed in the application of this principle. Delegation of legislative power Separation of powers is a basic principle of the U. S. Constitution, but up to 1935, the Supreme Court had never held that Congress had violated this principle by delegating its power to the executive branch. The reasons for legislative delegation are well understood."

And there’s plenty more excitement to come, since this oil-rich young nation is growing quickly based on its ownership of the world’s second-largest high quality petroleum reserves. In order to better understand what may lie ahead for Iraq and the Iraqi Dinar, it’s worthwhile to take a closer look at the history of the country, its economy and currency. Ancient History of a Modern Nation Iraq, known as Mesopotamia in ancient times, is home to the world’s oldest civilization, hence its nickname ? the Cradle of Civilization.? The land now called Iraq has a documented cultural history of more than ten thousand years, and it has been host to many successive empires ? Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Sassanian ? as well as foreign invaders including Muslims, Turks and Mongols. By the 16th Century, Iraq was firmly under Ottoman control.

"text": "VIENNA — The United States and Iran moved into a new era of international relations Saturday, with the implementation of a landmark agreement on Iran’s nuclear program on a drama-filled day that also saw the release of imprisoned Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian and four other Americans. U. S. and European officials lifted the harshest economic sanctions against Tehran after the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog certified that the Islamic republic had fully complied with promises to curtail key parts of its nuclear program. Hours before diplomats in the Austrian capital hailed the official activation of the nuclear deal, Iran confirmed the release of Rezaian and the other American detainees, set free in exchange for U. S. clemency offered to seven Iranians charged or imprisoned for sanctions violations and the dismissal of outstanding charges against 14 Iranians outside the United States. Rezaian and two other released Americans were flown out of Tehran on Sunday, after a delay. They were expected to go to Switzerland, then to a U. S. military facility in Germany to be examined by medical personnel. One of the Americans, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, did not fly out with the others, U. S. officials said. [ A misunderstanding held up the departure of 4 Americans in swap]“We can confirm that our detained U. S. citizens have been released and that those who wished to depart Iran have left,” a senior administration official said. “ We have no further information to share at this time and would ask that everyone respect the privacy of these individuals and their families. ”The coordinated moves cemented a major diplomatic victory for the Obama administration, which won significant nuclear concessions from Iran in an effort to defuse an international crisis that threatened to spark a new Middle East war. The agreement also frees Iran from crippling economic sanctions and opens the way for ending decades of diplomatic and economic isolation."

In a Fitness contest (the older of the two disciplines), female competitors showcase their physiques (which are noticeably less massive than bodybuilders ') while performing a demanding, time-limited, aerobic/dance routine. In a Figure contest, the most important attributes are a curvaceous-yet-trim body, and facial beauty; however, the physique guidelines are similar to a Fitness pageant's, and many contestants move back and forth between the two disciplines. The Figure division emerged on the bodybuilding scene when the numbers for Fitness pageant competitions started to dwindle.

"text": "Home | CEE | 2nd edition | Sanctions T hroughout most of modern history, economic sanctions have preceded or accompanied war, often in the form of a naval blockade intended to weaken the enemy. Only when the horrors of World War I prompted President Woodrow Wilson to call for an alternative to armed conflict were economic sanctions seriously considered. ( Wilson claimed that, by themselves, sanctions could be a “deadly force” and a very effective diplomatic tool.) Sanctions were subsequently incorporated as a tool of enforcement in each of the two collective security systems established in this century—the League of Nations between the two world wars and the United Nations after World War II. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war, the U. N. Security Council frequently authorized sanctions to quell civil wars and national strife, especially in Africa and Yugoslavia. However, the highest-profile U. N. sanctions were those against Iraq (1990–2003) preceding and following the first Gulf War (1991). In addition to U. N. sanctions, major powers (foremost the United States) continue to deploy unilateral economic sanctions. Since 1990, “targeted sanctions”—aimed at political leaders, drug lords, and terrorists—frequently have been used in an attempt to avoid the humanitarian fallout resulting from broad-brush sanctions. Purposes of Economic Sanctions The term “economic sanctions” encompasses the deliberate, government-inspired withdrawal, or threat of withdrawal, of customary trade or financial relations. (“ Customary” refers to the levels of trade or financial activity that would probably have occurred in the absence of sanctions.)"

"text": "\"Difference Between Hard Power and Soft Power Posted on March 13, 2015 by admin Hard Power vs Soft Power Difference between Hard Power and Soft Power is, as the name implies, in the form of power that a country uses in dealing with other nations. The terms Hard Power and Soft Power represent two important concepts in the field of International Relations, more specifically, in the political relations between states. We are all well acquainted with the term ‘ Power ‘ and identify it as the ability to influence or control the behaviour and/or actions of another. Hard Power and Soft Power are two types of foreign policy tools that states utilize in their relations with other countries. Perhaps a basic idea is necessary at this point. Hard Power literally connotes something hard or strong, something with great force, such as military or economic power. Soft Power, in contrast, is more mild and subtle. Let’s discuss them in more detail before going into the difference between the two concepts; namely, Hard Power and Soft Power. What is Hard Power? The term Hard Power is defined as a coercive approach to international political relations, one that involves the use of military and economic power to influence or control the behaviour or interests of other states or political groups."

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a rally in September 2015. ( NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images)By Carol Morello January 11, 2017 Email the author The Iran nuclear deal was written with several “sunset” provisions setting expiration dates, some of them 15 years into the future, when restrictions on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program would lift. Then Donald Trump was elected president, and a sunset on the deal itself became possible. During the campaign, Trump regularly denigrated the Iran agreement. He vowed, at turns, to walk away from the 2015 accord, or renegotiate it, or enforce it so rigorously that it might collapse on its own. Trump is expected to take a more confrontational approach with Iran, showing no tolerance for even small breaches of what was agreed upon. The strategy seems designed to increase pressure on Iran, stopping what critics consider backsliding or cheating, but also to compel it to moderate its actions elsewhere in the region. [ Key moments in the long history of U.

Gelb07.14.15 4:19 AM ETPool photo by Andrew Harnik Both Iran and the United States essentially got what they wanted from the 159-page nuclear deal agreed upon Tuesday in Vienna.

The Supreme Leader got significant sanctions relief for his ailing economy, the launch pad for Iran to become a more formidable Mideast power. Mr. Obama stretched Iran’s nuclear breakout time from a few months to over a year with strengthened inspection rights. But according to top administration officials, Mr. Obama has always been after something much bigger than capping Iran’s nuclear program, and he got it—the strategic opportunity to begin converting Iran from foe to “friend. ”Iranian negotiators understood well what’s been driving the U.

For over a year now in small private conversations and strolls, they have been painting rosy pictures of Iranian-American cooperation. The Iranian list of possibilities goes to most of Washington’s principal worries about the broad Middle East.

"text": "Introduction Eolian landforms are found in regions of the Earth where erosion and deposition by wind are the dominant geomorphic forces shaping the face of the landscape. Regions influenced by wind include most of the dry climates of the Earth ( Figure 10ah-1 ). According to the Köppen Climate Classification System (see topic 7v ), this would include regions of the world that are classified as arid deserts ( BW ) and semiarid steppe ( BS ). Wind can also cause erosion and deposition in environments where sediments have been recently deposited or disturbed. Such environments include lake and ocean coastline beaches, alluvial fans, and farmland where topsoil has been disturbed by cultivation. Figure 10ah-1: Global distribution of major deposits of eolian derived sediments. Unlike streams, wind has the ability to transport sediment up-slope as well as down-slope. The relative ability of wind to erode materials is is slight when compared to the other major erosional mediums, water and ice. Ice and water can have greater erosive power primarily because of their greater density . Water is about 800 times more dense than air (density of air is 1.29 kg m -3, while the density of water is 1000 kg m -3 )."

"text": "Science Theme: Aeolian Processes Science theme lead: Matt Chojnacki View images in this theme Aeolian geology is the study of landforms formed by wind (Aeolus is the wind god in Greek mythology). On Mars, where other processes such as fluvial erosion, volcanism, and tectonism are slow, intermittent, or do not occur in the present era, aeolian activity is the most dynamic geologic process in non-polar areas. Numerous depositional and erosional landforms attributable to wind activity are present. On a large scale seen from previous orbiters these include dunes, ripples, yardangs, wind tails, and dust devil tracks. At the small scale seen from landers and rovers, drifts, erosional moats, wind tails, ripples, and ventifacts are found. Hi RISE, with its high resolution, color imaging, and ability to produce precise digital elevation models at small scales, should significantly advance our understanding of Martian aeolian processes, providing a link between features seen with older, lower resolution imaging systems and those observed at the landing site scale. Major science questions for this theme Do aeolian bedforms (dunes and ripples) migrate at the scales visible to Hi RISE (< 1 m) over the period of the MRO mission (at least two Mars years)? In other words, are some dunes and ripples active or did they form in a different climate, when wind speeds may have been greater? If the bedforms are active, what is the rate of migration? What are the origins and ages of bright vs. dark aeolian bedforms?"

Streams and rivers are not merely systems for moving surface water to the world's oceans and seas. They are also systems for moving weathered rocks and other sediment to those large bodies of water. In fact, it is estimated that streams and rivers move about 1.65 billion tons (1.5 billion metric tons) of sediment from land to the oceans each year. By shifting such great masses of sediment, streams and rivers become sculptors of the land. Streams and rivers erode, transport sediment, change course, and flood their banks in natural and recurring patterns. It is true that most of the erosional work done by surface water is not done by streams or rivers but instead by falling raindrops and by the resulting unorganized runoff down slopes. Yet streams and rivers are able to create both erosional landforms (their own channels, canyons, and valleys) and depositional landforms (floodplains, alluvial fans, and deltas) as they flow over Earth's surface. The shape of the land Geologists define a stream as any body of running water that moves downslope under the influence of gravity in a narrow and defined channel on Earth's surface. Streams are also found on the ground surface in caves and underneath and inside glaciers (large bodies of ice that formed on land by the compaction and recrystallization of snow and that survive year to year)."

The Trenton Group Limestones were deposited in a variety of settings ranging from shallow water shoal conditions through much deeper distal ramp environments. Given the disparity in depositional settings, it is not surprising that the sedimentary processes impacting the formation, transport, accumulation and preservation of carbonate sediments in these marine environments would be equally diverse. The following discussion focuses on the direct record of sedimentary processes impacting the deposition of sediments on the Trenton Shelf, and are considered in the context of the preserved sedimentary structures indicative of these processes. The purpose here is to help the reader to better understand the depositional parameters influencing the Trenton Limestone and not to provide an exhaustive survey of sedimentary structures and the processes that produce them. >>Back to Top Carbonate Sedimentary Processes: Production , Transport, Erosion, and Deposition The Paleozoic epicontinental seas of ancestral North America were often characterized by the in situ production, distribution, and deposition of biologically produced carbonate grains. The Upper Ordovician Trenton Limestones are no exception to this observation. As a rule the production, transport, and deposition of carbonate sediments occurs within the same basin in which they originate; thus they are referred to as intrabasinal or autocthonous."

It is shown that the entire geologic column exists in North Dakota. I do this not to disprove the Bible but to encourage Christians who are in the area of apologetics to do a better job of getting the facts straight. I recently had a private discussion with a gentleman concerning the nature of the Haymond beds in Southwestern Texas. The issues which this raised might be of some interest. The Haymond beds consist of 15,000 alternating layers of sand and shale. The sands have several characteristic sedimentary features which are found on turbidite deposits. Turbidites are deep water deposits in which each sand layer is deposited in a brief period of time, by a submarine \"\"landslide\"\" (I am trying to avoid jargon here) and the shale covering it is deposited over a long period of time. I made the comment that one feature of this deposit made it an excellent argument for an old earth and local flood. Earle F. Mc Bride ( 1969, p. 87-88) writes: Two thirds of the Haymond is composed of a repetitious alternation of fine- and very fine-grained olive brown sandstone and black shale in beds from a millimeter to 5 cm thick."

St Lawrence Lowland The topography of the Lowlands is the result of weathering and erosion by rivers of the nearby flat-lying early sedimentary rock (photo by Thomas Kitchin). St. Lawrence Lowland is a plain along the St. Lawrence River between Québec City in the east and Brockville, Ontario, in the west, including the Ottawa River valley west to Renfrew, Ontario. The lowland’s total area is 46,000 km 2 (5,000 km 2 of which is in the United States). It is 450 km long west to east and 100 km wide in the western half, narrowing to 35 km at Québec. In addition, an arm extends 130 km south into the Lake Champlain valley. Geological History The details of the lowland's present landscape are the result of the last continental glaciation, followed by marine submergence, emergence and, finally, river erosion and deposition. Evidence of early glaciation has been obliterated by later ones, but deposits exposed in valleys near Lac Saint-Pierre indicate that an early interval of weathering and deposition of river gravels was followed by at least two episodes of glaciation. These were separated by a non-glacial interval during which peat and lake sediments accumulated. This interval lasted from about 70,000 to possibly 34,000 years ago."

Impact Cratering There are still small chunks of rock orbiting the Sun left over from the formation of the solar system. Some of them have orbits that cross the orbits of the planets and moons. When they get close enough to a planet or moon, they will be pulled in by the large body's gravity and strike the surface at a speed of at least the escape velocity of the planet or moon, i.e., faster than a bullet. At such speeds, the projecticle explodes on impact and carves out a round bowl-shaped depression on the surface. This process is impact cratering."

Over time dunes can grow, shrink, or move in the direction of prevailing winds. Dunes can be created and destroyed by either nature or humans.

Nelson Sandstones & Conglomerates This page last updated on 18-Apr-2013Sandstones Sandstones make up only about 25% of the stratigraphic record, but have received the most attention in studies of sedimentary rocks. There are basically two reasons for this. First, sandstones are easily studied because they contain sand sized grains that can easily be distinguished with a petrographic microscope. Second, most of the world's oil and natural gas is found in sands or sandstones because of their generally high porosity. Classification For this course we will use a classification of sandstones that is partially based on Blatt and Tracey (p. 257) and partially based on Williams, Turner, and Gilbert (p. 326). Sandstones that contain less than 10% clay matrix are called arenites (note that the Spanish word for sand is arena). These can be subdivided based on the percentages of Quartz, Feldspar, and unstable lithic fragments (fragments of preexisting rock). A feldspar-rich sandstone is called an arkose. Lithic rich sandstones are called litharenites."

"text": "\"In the “ Pikao (or Pingao) the Golden Sand Sedge”Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction Importance of Coastal Sand Dunes Patterns and Processes Blowouts Parabolic Dunes Transgressive Dunefields Introduction Sand dunes are formed at the interface between the sea and land. They are formed from sand which is eroded and ground rock, derived from terrestrial (e.g., glacial or river) and oceanic sources (e.g., coral reefs). The form of dune systems will be dictated by a number of factors, including the shape of the coastline, shape of the beach, currents and swell of the ocean, prevailing wind, frequency of storm events, and particle size of the sand. One of the most important things to realise with the coastal and dunal environment is that it is dynamic, like the forces that shape it, so these environments are always changing. Accepting change can be a difficult for humans to accept (such as the common perception that damage to established forest in storms is bad) but it is important to acknowledge that change is a natural and health part of this ecosystem, and helps to maintain biodiversity. Due to the extensive coastal development that characterise much of our beaches now, stabilisation has been a large focus. This has lead to the extensive planting of marram grass that form high densely covered dunes that prevent most sand moving beyond the foredunes, affording protection to developed areas. This form of planting has proven successful for human habitation but has come at the expense of the native sand binders and associated plants. This section intends to outline the values associated with the coastal dune environment as well as the processes associated with dune building and the dynamics of the different forms. Importance of Coastal Sand Dunes Natural Character They are part of the natural character of the coastal environment, which is protected under the Resource Management Act 1991 as a \"\"Matter of National Importance\"\"."

The coastal dunes behind beaches and the shoreface regime seaward of the beach are tied together as a beach system with each of these features having unique differences. However, the exchange of sand between them is part of a single system. Definitions Beaches are accumulations of unconsolidated sand or gravel that extend from mean low tide to the uppermost extent of wave impact. The best development of beaches is on low lying alluvial coasts, but they are not restricted to these areas. In some locations, they are thin slivers of sand fronting coastal cliffs. Elsewhere, they are broad features backed by wide dune fields and coastal marshes. If North America can be considered typical, more than a third of the world's coastlines are beach environments.

Their ability to erode soil and rock, transport sediment, and deposit sediment is extraordinary. During the last glacial period more than 50 million square kilometers of land surface were geomorphically influenced by the presence of glaciers. Glacial Erosion Two major erosional processes occur at the base of a glacier . First, at the base of a glacier, large amounts of loose rock and sediment are incorporated into the moving glacial ice by partial melting and refreezing. The second process of erosion involves the abrasive action of the held rock and sediment held by the ice on the surface underneath the glacier. This abrasive process is known as scouring. Scouring creates a variety of features. The most conspicuous feature of scouring is striations ( Figure 10af-1 ). Striations appear as scratches of various size on rock surfaces."

In the case of dunes, sand is subsequently reworked by strong onshore winds (greater than 5 m/sec) and then deposited behind the beach, principally being trapped in vegetation, but also accumulating at the base of cliffs and hills. In Australia there is a variety of coastal dune landforms. They range from relatively small shore-parallel foredunes that sit immediately behind the beach, tens of metres wide and a few metres thick (Photo 1); to a series of relict foredunes that may extend hundreds of metres to a few kilometres inland; to large dune fields comprising transgressive or parabolic dunes that can extend hundreds of metres to several kilometres inland (Photo 2). Dune fields comprise a variety of surface dune types ( e.g. transverse dunes), as well as hills and ridges that can rise a few hundred metres above the shoreline and represent long-term accumulation of large volumes of sand.

However, these fish are not very aggressive toward people. They generally bother people only when people bother them first. Sand tiger sharks have possibly the oddest method of reproduction in the shark family. This shark is ovoviviparous, meaning that its eggs hatch inside each of the mother's two uteri and are later born live. The largest sand tiger embryos in each uteri gain nourishment by eating their smaller siblings. This mode of survival, called intrauterine cannibalism, results in two large healthy pups that are about 3 feet in length when they are born. Sand tiger shark populations have declined by more than 20 percent in the last 10 years and they are listed as a vulnerable species in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Delaware Bay estuary deposits sand along the beaches, making the coastal bottom shallow. Sharks hunting for fish in the deeper waters are far away from swimming areas. Some sharks do frequent shallow waters and sandbars near deep-water drop-offs. Most shark species don't target humans for food, preferring instead to eat other fish. Here are sharks seen off Delaware: Common to the area Hammerhead shark Size: Average is about 4 to 6 feet. Larger hammerheads can grow as long as 13 feet. Although hammerheads prefer to remain in the open ocean, they are one of the largest shark species in the Delaware-Chesapeake Bay area and are a familiar sight for anglers along the coast in summer. Common to the area Sandbar shark Size: Average is about 2 to 4 feet. From May to September, the sandbar shark can be found in the Delaware Bay area, which appears to be a mid-point in its migration between its southern wintering and northern summering ground."

Thankfully, since then things have improved somewhat for most of us – getting hit by a bus is probably the modern equivalent of being torn apart by wolves. However, there are still far flung places and environments beyond the control of man, where even today, man-eating animals roam wild, stalking human prey as a between meal snack…Whilst rare, there have been a number of high profile man eaters, many occurring within the last 100 years. Here, I’m going to list out the deadliest of all these man eaters and look at some of the most disturbing habitual individual killers.10. Man eating river fish: Now we all know that piranhas can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. And that anyone falling into the Amazon River is as good as dead when these vicious fish are around. Well, it turns out that most of the stories about piranhas are a little exaggerated. But, as with many myths there is a grain of truth and much of the legendary reputation of the piranha can be traced back to a single incident. During a visit to Brazil, and the Amazon, by the American president Theodore Roosevelt local fishermen set up a spectacle involving piranhas. The men had blocked off part of the river and starved the piranha for several days."

"text": "Sea Snakes Bar-bellied seasnakes are common in nearshore habitats of shark bay There are at least six sea snakes that are found in Shark Bay, but the most common in our study area are the bar-bellied sea snake ( Hydrophis elegans) and the olive-headed sea snake ( Disteria major ). Sea snakes are common prey for tiger sharks in Shark Bay despite being among the most venomous snakes on earth. Tiger sharks are not affected by this venom when they eat the snake. Although sea snakes are highly venomous, they are generally quite docile and we often encounter them when we are snorkeling or diving during seagrass studies. In fact, sea snakes are found throughout Shark Bay, but are often seen hunting in the seagrass (click here to see a video of a sea snake eating) where there are many fishes that they could eat. The bar-bellied sea snake is a foraging specialist. They eat only one type of fish – snake eels. Sea Snake Studies Olive headed sea snakes (above and below)Because sea snakes are common prey of tiger sharks, we were interested in determining the seasonal patterns of their abundance and whether their habitat and microhabitat use changed in response to tiger sharks. To determine the seasonal abundance and habitat use patterns of sea snakes, we drive along transects found in deep and shallow habitats and record the location and species of every sea snake that we see at the surface within 5m of the boat. Within shallow habitats we have transects over seagrass and sand that we can drive along during perfect sighting conditions when we can reliably observe snakes underwater to determine whether they are foraging."

They can be found living in shallow ocean biomes such as the Islands, Sand Plains and Shallows. Tiger sharks can be identified by their dull gray coloration, along with their distinctive stripes that run down the length of their body. Contents [ show]Behavior Edit The tiger shark is one of three aggressive enemies encountered in the game, along with the great white and the marlin. When a tiger shark spots the player, it will slowly head towards them, pushing their raft in an attempt to bump them out or bite them if they are in the water. Once the player is knocked out of the raft, the tiger shark usually proceeds to swim away rapidly. One must exercise caution when facing a tiger shark in open water; due to its speed coupled with the low visibility underwater, it is easy to lose track of the shark. After about three strikes from a weapon, the tiger shark will swim away momentarily before returning to attack the almost lightning speed that is difficult to counteract. If the player continues to strike at the shark with repeated swings, it will eventually attempt to swim out to open water to avoid further injury before returning much later. When attacking, the tiger shark will take bites at the player, causing minor injuries."

As apex predators many types of sharks are well equipped to inflict serious injury; large, fast, powerful and armed with row upon row of razor sharp teeth these fish are finely honed killing machines. Yet with around 400 shark species it is only a tiny minority that present any danger to humans. I would regard only three, possibly four, of all the species as “ man-eating sharks “. After sifting through the shark attack records held by the International Shark Attack File (ISAF) and the Global Shark Attack File (GSAF) it is clear that only a few species habitually attack people and that many of the other shark species need provoking before they will bite. Statistically it is incredibly rare for any species of shark to attack, but when they do the results can be so horrific that it is burnt into the popular psyche. Reports of victims bitten in two or half eaten by sharks the size of a school bus are always going to be at the back of many people’s minds as they dip their toe in the ocean. Onto the list. Unlike many lists that just rank the sharks purely on the statistics, I have looked at the potential to do damage, aggression and habitats of the sharks to decide which pose the biggest threat to humans.10.

Chapman 2Introduction Sharks are magnificent animals and an exciting group of fishes. As a group, sharks, rays, and skates belong to the biological taxonomic class called Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fishes (elasmobranchs). The entire supporting structure of these fish is composed primarily of cartilage rather than bone. There are some 400 described species of sharks, which come in all different sizes from the 40-foot-long whale shark ( Rhincodon typus) to the 2-foot-long marble catshark ( Atelomycterus macleayi ). Although sharks have been kept in public aquariums since the 1860s, advances in marine aquarium systems technology and increased understanding of shark biology and husbandry now allow hobbyists to maintain and enjoy sharks in their home aquariums, and they are becoming increasingly popular as pet animals. The proper care and display of sharks requires great attention to details. The following information is intended for use by home aquarists and those working in small public aquaria. We provide critical points aquarists must consider in deciding whether or not to include sharks in their aquaria. A table of the most popular sharks kept in public and home aquariums is provided to facilitate species selection. The Lore of the Shark Though it has been some 35 years since the shark in Steven Spielberg's Jaws bit into its first unsuspecting ocean swimmer and despite the fact that the risk of shark-bite is very small, fear of sharks still makes some people afraid to swim in the ocean.

Everyone thinks the Great White Shark will win, but the crocodile are smarter, faster, doesn't get tire that fast in the water, and stronger then you think. Probably because the shark looks bigger, but crocs are much, much, more aggressive and crocodiles are also big. Great white sharks weigh more, but crocs make up with power! I was watching National Geographic, where they were catching Great White Sharks, they had one that was the biggest they ever tried to captured- at least 17 feet and over 2200 pounds, 3 men were pulling it in the water, the shark got tired after 15-20 minutes. Then they got more people, like about 9-10 people to pull it in. All the great white sharks they captured were not aggressive. The saltwater crocodile is much more aggressive and it takes a lot of people to pull and restrain because they are very mean. This is what a scientist said- http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/oct...http://en.allexperts.com/q/wild-animals-... - he said I think that the outcome of the fight depends on the habitat and the species concerned."

Even though they have a threatening appearance, these sharks are very gentle and slow-moving. They are not found to attack humans, unless provoked.

The mouth, which is kept open while swimming, is full of sharp-edged teeth. The dorsal fins are almost equal in size, and are located far behind the gill slits. The upper lobe of the tail fin is longer than the lower one. Most of the individuals are grayish bronze with a pale white underside."

Swapping bracelet beads for drinks, competing with the throngs lined up for soggy burgers, and watching people drink margaritas with breakfast is not my idea of a dream holiday. Nor is it my sister’s; we agree that her memories of our childhood trips are just as well left in the past.

With its white leather daybeds, vintage black-and-white photos of Hollywood glitterati, and a two-tiered dining room lined with murals from the 1940’s, the hotel looked like something straight out of South Beach. Not, as we’d worried, a flashback to the tackiest years of the eighties.

"text": "Simple Beach Wedding: $200-$5,000+ Tropical Resort Wedding: $8,000-$40,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (1)A destination wedding typically means the bride, groom and invited guests travel to a special location for the wedding ceremony and reception and, often, the honeymoon. Instead of spending four or five hours together on the wedding day, the couple and their guests have 3-7 days together. Typical costs: A simple beach wedding in the United States with few or no guests can cost $200-$800, or $1,000-$5,000 or more depending on size and what's included. For example, the Platinum Florida Wedding Company offers a ceremony only [ 1] package starting at $200 with an officiant/minister and a rose or sand unity ceremony, or a $2, 995 sand angel package [ 2] with 40 covered chairs, bamboo arbor, two potted palms, two tiki torches, a rose-petal aisle, an audio system and more. Travel will be an additional expense for the couple and their guests. A destination wedding at a tropical resort can cost $8,000-$40,000 or more, depending on the length of the couple's stay, what's included in the wedding, the number of guests and if the resort is all-inclusive. For example, at Destination. Weddings.com [ 3] a bride planning a December wedding at an inclusive resort in Mexico reports airfare and lodging costs of $3,600 for the bride and groom plus wedding expenses (dress, license, hair, etc.) of $6,000-$7,000, and $500-$1,000 for other vacation costs or about $10,100-$11,600 total; with guests paying expenses of $1,200-$3,500 depending on length of stay (3-7 days) and airfare. And at Theme Wedding Planning.com a bride reports costs of $20,000 for a wedding with 50-60 guests on a private estate in the Florida Keys, including lodging for 25 people."

"text": "\"Jamaica Hotel History.com The History of Early Jamaican Hotels in Postcards, Brochures and Maps Tweet Share? I was curious as to what hotel my widowed grandmother went to in the late 1950s and where she met her second husband. ( All we know is she flew into Montego Bay.) Searching the web I found no historical information on Jamaican hotels. I also needed to learn something about the island to plan my grand tour. I asked questions. Then, realizing that I had a couple of old Esso Jamaica road maps (I like maps), this history of old Jamaican hotels was born. About 200 vintage postcard pictures were added to document 56 of the early places. Postcards Postcard pictures were obtained from several sources. All of the Cards pictured here were for sale at one point."

Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort, Super Clubs Breezes Bahamas and the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort, all on Cable Beach, along with the Riu resort and Atlantis on Paradise Island, all offer one-day passes with a variety of inducements. At the all-inclusives—Breezes, Sandals and Riu—a day pass, available at the front desk, includes all meals and drinks, beach privileges, non-motorized water sports, live entertainment and access to the fitness centres and complimentary restaurants for guests only. The Sheraton isn’t an all-inclusive resort, so a day pass won’t get you the free eats and drinks that the others offer, but the Sheraton pass includes a room for the day (7am-7pm), which the others don’t, lunch for two, access to the beach and non-motorized water sports, three swimming pools and the fitness centre. Day and evening passes The day pass at “super inclusive” Breezes (10am-6pm) includes windsurfing, water skiing, kayaking and pedal boat rides. The hotel also offers an evening pass that includes dinner, entertainment and dancing (6pm-2am). “ It’s a great bargain—all you want to eat and drink,” says Toronto native Andrea O’Neill, a resident of The Bahamas for 10 years. O’Neill and her friends have taken advantage of both the day and night passes. “ It’s a great place to go for group functions. It’s a wonderful value for the money.”"

We were given a wedding planner prior to our arrival and as well as one we got onto property. There were many things that went wrong, especially that I had so many \"\"planners\"\" via email. They were supposed to call you if you needed. That only happened on the first conversation. My wedding planner changed so many times, nobody knew my wishes, some were written down. On property I was also not complete listened to. The magistrate that married us was so rude and only wanted to leave and rush through. ( I have a video to prove this). It was a rainy day, I was told by Sandals that they would wait until it was nice enough to be outside."

But planning a wedding has to be high on anyone's list of stress-inducing experiences. Bridezillas, overbearing parents, warring relatives, spiralling budgets; they can all add a few grey hairs before you've even had a whisper of a chance to grow old together. Unsurprising then that an increasing number of couples choose not just to take their honeymoon abroad but say those two time-honoured words there too (that's 'I do' by the way). A marriage made in holiday heaven: Going abroad for your nuptials can not only be cheaper but less stressful'Getting married abroad is becoming more and more popular,' says Megan Barker, a wedding consultant at travel firm Kuoni, which offers packages in 27 countries around the world.

"text": "What is halal? Halal simply means permitted or lawful. So when we are talking about halal foods it means any foods that are allowed to be eaten according to Islamic Sharia law. This means that for any food to be considered halal it must comply with the religious ritual and observance of Sharia law. What is halal certification? This means that food has been subjected to approved certification systems which guarantee to consumers that nothing in the food has any forbidden components. Halal certificates are issued, for a fee, by a certifying body. What is haram? The opposite of halal is haram (forbidden). Food can be forbidden in Islam if it includes:bloodalcoholmeat or any products from a forbidden animal, including pigs and any carnivorous animals or birds of preymeat or any products of an animal which has not been slaughtered in the correct manner in the name of Allah Under Islamic law (sharia) it is permissible (halal) to consume items that would otherwise be termed haram so long as it is a matter of survival and not just an act of disobedience."

Kaitlin Steinberg | July 11, 2014 | 9:00am Facebook Twitteremail Print Article A A\"\"These things alone he has forbidden to you: What is already dead, blood, the flesh of swine, what has been offered up to other than Allah. \"\" Al-Anam 6:145While driving around Houston, you've probably noticed signs for Halal meat markets or Halal delis. You've probably read labels touting that a certain meat is halal or skimmed over articles noting a trend toward more and more people purchasing and consuming halal meat. Unless you're Muslim, though, you probably don't understand all that must be done for food to be called halal. In Arabic, the word \"\"halal\"\" means permissible. Halal meat is meat that has been slaughtered according to Islamic law, as laid out in the Qu'ran. This particular type of slaughter is called dhabiha, it it requires that an animal's throat be slit swiftly with a sharp blade to ensure as little pain and suffering as possible. While this is being done, the person with the blade says a prayer to Allah, or at the very least invokes the name of Allah to bless the animal and give thanks for the food."

"text": "What is Halal The word ‘ Halal ’ (حلال) is an Arabic word which literally means permissible. And in translation it is usually used as lawful/allowed/acceptable and it’s a term which is applied to all aspects of life and covers not only food and drink, but also all matters of daily life. The opposite is ‘ Haram ’ (حرام), which means unlawful/prohibited/forbidden or not allowed. When used in relation to food or drink, it means that the food/drink is lawful, allowed or permissible for Muslims. The most common example of non-halal (or haram) food is pork. While pork is the only meat that cannot be eaten by Muslims at all (due to perceived hygienic concerns), foods other than pork can also be haraam. The criteria for non-pork items include its source, the cause of the animal’s death, and how it was processed. Arabic is the language of Qur`an, a scripture revealed to the Prophet of Islam Prophet Mohammed (محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب) by the Almighty deity Allah (الله) to be followed in its entirety by Muslims. Some Qur’anic References about Haram The unlawful foods are specifically mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an, in the following verses:بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ۞ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ“He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swine flesh, and that on which hath been invoked any other name besides Allah’s.” Al-Baqara 2:173حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسْتَقْسِمُوا بِالْأَزْلَامِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ ۗ الْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن دِينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِ ۚ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا ۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ فِي مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّإِثْمٍ ۙ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ“Forbidden unto you (for food) are: carrion and blood and swine flesh, and that on which hath been invoked the name other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been gored to death, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by slaughter) and that which hath been immolated to idols and that ye swear by the divining arrows."

"text": "\"Halal Meat Rumor: Halal meat sold in the U. S. is commonly produced in conditions of filth and uncleanliness.38Claim: Halal meat sold in the U. S. is commonly produced in conditions of filth and uncleanliness. MOSTLY FALSEExample: [Collected via e-mail, October 2011]The other day I wrote about Costco stocking their meat counters with “Halal” meat. So yesterday I shopped for groceries at my local Walmart. As usual, I bought a bag of frozen chicken breasts, but this time I checked to make sure the meat was not labeled “Halal”. Here’s why. Halal is the Islamic term that basically means the meat is lawful to eat for a devout Muslim. What makes it lawful or acceptable is that the meat has been processed in a very specific way. Unlike kosher food, where the physical processing of the meat is the focus, for Islam it is the spiritual component that makes the meat lawful. For lawful (halal) meat in Islam, the animal must be killed while the butcher faces Mecca, and either the butcher cries “Allah Akbar” or a tape plays the words over a loud speaker. Ann Barnhardt is a cattle commodities broker, has more about “Halal.”"

That means abstaining from the use of alcohol and pork or from things which contain the by-products of those. There are other impressible ingredients such as blood and predatory animals with fangs, but since they aren’t commonly eaten in this part of the world, they are rarely mentioned in discussion surrounding halal cooking. What are the basic requirements for cooking and eating halal? What is prohibited and how must food be prepared? The basic requirement for cooking halal is that all the ingredients used in cooking should be in accordance with what is halal (permissible foods, according to Islamic law).

"text": "Ten Super Foods For Bone Health If you want strong, healthy bones, then what you put on your plate really matters. The good news is that you can help improve your bone health with every meal and snack if you include a bone-friendly food. Generally, the best foods for healthy bones are fresh fruits and vegetables and other whole foods, organically grown. Foods that promote your body’s acid/alkaline balance are critical, and this is easy to achieve if you include fruits and veggies. That’s because these foods contain good amounts of nutrients that support that balance, including beta-carotene, fiber, magnesium (RDA, 420 mg), potassium (RDA, 3,500 mg), and vitamin D (RDA, 200 IU). There’s a lot of emphasis on calcium (RDA, 1,000 mg) for strong bones, but other nutrients are important as well. After all, calcium does not work alone! We’ve already mentioned potassium and magnesium, and we also want to add vitamin K (Adequate Intake, 80 mcg), omega-3 fatty acids (no RDA), and even vitamin B12 (RDA, 2.4 mcg). You will find all of these bone-building nutrients among our ten foods for super bones!Three other quick recommendations to promote bone health: Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise Watch your salt (sodium) intake. Sodium increases calcium losses, with 5 to 10 mg of calcium lost with every gram of salt that you consume."

Arugula is a flavourful, oak-leaf-shaped green with a peppery taste. Known as rocket in some parts of the world, it adds a powerful health boost to any menu choice. Easily grown at home, this leafy green contains only five calories per cup meaning it would take 20 cups of arugula to get the same calories in just a ¼ cup of granola. The fibre in arugula helps promote digestive regularity, keeps your tummy happy and leaves you feeling full longer so you resist other fatty foods. It also helps to lower cholesterol, balance blood sugar and reduce the risk of heart disease. Here are five more reasons to add arugula to your meals:1. Arugula is a detoxifying, cancer-fighting superfood Arugula is a member of the brassica family of vegetables called cruciferous – this group is known for its nutritional powerhouses broccoli, kale and cabbage. This family of vegetables is high in fibre and antioxidants, but they’re also rich in compounds known as glucosinolates, which studies show may reduce the risk of developing lung, colorectal, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.2. Arugula has high levels of chlorophyll This can help to prevent DNA and liver damage from aflatoxins — carcinogenic substances produced by the mould sometimes found in corn, peanuts and some tree nuts."

Sardines are part of the herring family and, for North American consumers, are caught in the North Atlantic Ocean. The sardines are then typically packed in oil and canned, ready to add flavor and a variety of nutrients to your diet. Because of the canning process, they're oilier than fresh sardines and supply more fat grams.

Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database. This amount of sardines also has 22.7 grams of protein and 10.5 grams of total fat. Canned sardines aren't a source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber or sugar. The fish's protein value is notable; women should get 46 grams of protein daily and men should get 56 grams per day. Although it's unlikely you'd eat an entire can of sardines, even a small amount helps you meet your protein recommendation.

"text": "\"The health benefits of oily fish including salmon, herring, trout and sardines. Oily fish are those fish whose fat or oils are distributed throughout their flesh rather than solely in the liver as in white fish. This means that when we consume oily fish, we will also be consuming their oils, whereas in white fish we won't. For this reason oily fish are slightly more calorific and fattening, however the fats that these fish contain are essential, beneficial and will actually improve one's health and protect us from certain diseases. As the fat is contained within the flesh of the fish, you will find that it is slightly darker in colour than white fish and also somewhat harder to digest. Advertisements High protein food Oily fish is an excellent source of protein and although it may not contain as much protein as red meat, it does contain fewer harmful fats and calories and is therefore much better for you. A 3½oz (100g) portion of fresh tuna contains 23.5g of protein, salmon contains around 20g and sardines around 21g. In comparison, a similar quantity of red meat contains around 25g of protein, so you see that there is actually not that much difference between them. Saturated fat Meat, especially processed meat, contains high levels of saturated fats. These fats are very harmful to the body if consumed in excess and it is these fats that cause cholesterol levels in the blood to rise when consumed."

In fact, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends you eat seafood twice a week for a balanced diet.

Mercury exposure is especially dangerous to pregnant women and developing children, as it can cause birth defects.

"text": "In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte had a problem: his army was hungry. In the days before the invention of freezer trucks or MREs, keeping an effective fighting force supplied with enough food was a logistical nightmare. At the time, invading armies usually lived off the local countryside, but this was notoriously unreliable: for one thing, peasants often destroyed their own crops to resist the invaders. Napoleon needed a way to store and transport rations for months on end, to fuel his troops through long months on campaign. An inventor named Nicolas Appert claimed a substantial reward from the French army for discovering the answer: cans. With canned food, the army could take meat, vegetables, and even milk along for long campaigns – and one of the first staples to receive this treatment was sardines. Vitamins wouldn’t even be discovered for another hundred years, but if Napoleon had known how well he was feeding his men, he would have been very pleased with his choice. Sardines are packed with nutrients of every kind, and the canned fish are actually even better than the fresh, because with canned sardines, you’re eating the whole animal. That’s the truly “Paleo” way to do it – nobody in preindustrial cultures was throwing out the bones, skin, and organs of the animals they killed. They ate everything, and they were much healthier for it, because there are all kinds of valuable nutrients hidden away in these “odd bits."

"text": "The sardine, or pilchard, is an ocean going fish well known for traveling in large groups, or schools. The sardine is related to the herring, and sometimes canned fish labeled as sardine is actually herring. The sardine is widely fished in the Pacific and Atlantic, and popular both preserved and fresh in a wide variety of cuisines. While sardines are not considered to be a fish species at risk, careful monitoring of sardine fisheries has been recommended to prevent overfishing and potential collapse. The sardine is a small, silvery fish with a protruding snout and large mouth. Sardine species can be found in northern and southern waters, and favor estuaries or inter-tidal zones. The sardine eats plankton and small fish larva, and forms an important part of the marine food chain because they are in turn eaten by larger species. In addition to being eaten by other fish, sardines form a substantial part of the diet of many aquatic birds such as pelicans. The sardine has dark, oily flesh which is popular among some consumers and loathed by others. The fish is rich in omega-3 acids, and generally considered to be very healthy for those who favor the taste."

This is the first of a two-part presentation. In Part II, Ms. Everett will focus more specifically on nutrition and the importance of heart health and kidney health for people with lupus. Before beginning the presentation, Ms. Everett highlighted that nutrition has become an important area of research in regard to lupus. Lupus and Nutrition Ms. Everett began by explaining that there is no food that can cause lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, an illness that can affect many body systems. The foods that you eat, however, and the medications you take may have an effect on some of your symptoms. It is also important to understand that there is a link between lupus and osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Healthy nutrition can impact on those with these co-occurring diseases. Nutrition (e.g., in the case of osteoporosis, calcium intake) in turn may impact the symptoms and outcomes of these co-occurring illnesses."

We closed last week’s post by posing a question: Does the average dog food contain more protein, fat, or carbohydrates? Based on our prior posts about these macronutrients, we would certainly hope that protein is the predominant ingredient because dogs are descendants of carnivores and their ancestors feasted on a diet that was high in animal protein and fat along with a small amount of vegetation. Drum Roll Please…We analyzed about 1,500 canned and dry dog foods and converted their guaranteed analysis values to a dry matter basis. The graph below tells the story. The average dog food contains about 35% protein, 19% fat, and 37% carbohydrates. There is both good news and bad news in these numbers. First the good news. The 37% average carbohydrate number is actually less than I would have guessed – probably due to the recent popularity of grain free and lower carb food recipes. The bad news is that carbs still make up more of the average food than does protein."

Anchovies are rich in healthy protein that is valuable for children and seniors. Anchovies are also a good source of essential vitamins (vitamin E and D) and minerals (calcium and selenium). Small fish like anchovies and sardines are better than bigger fishes because they contain less heavy metal such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic and environmental toxins. This is because smaller fish have a shorter life cycle so there is less possibility of them accumulating impurities. How to prepare Anchovies: When using whole canned anchovies, rinse it first gently in cold water. Remove the meat from the bones. The skin is edible and rarely worth the trouble to remove. If you want to remove some of the salt from the anchovies, soak it in cold water for 30 minutes. Then drain in colander and allow to dry before using."

"text": "\"What You Must Know About Fish Oil For Dogs Latest Update: December 11, 2017A lot of people know about the benefits of fish oil for us and the extensive research put into it, but can be surprised when thinking about how it can help dogs. It’s not as well known, but dogs can get a lot out of fish oil. Having a diet that has the right fats (such as fish oil) can help their appearance and their health. The reasoning is simple: Dogs and cats would get some amount of fish oil in their natural diets while in the wild. Just as they enjoy the benefits from natural animal fat from prey on land, food caught in the water can also provide some great nutritional elements. That’s why you may want to consider adding fish oil supplements to your dog’s diet if you haven’t already. They could be missing out on some of the very best nutrients necessary to maintain a happier, fuller, and longer life. Our Top Picks for the Best Fish Oil for Your Dog Zesty Paws Pure Salmon Oil for Dogs Grizzly Salmon Oil Terra Max Pro Omega-3 Fish Oil Amazing Nutritionals Omega-3 Chews Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet Why Use Fish Oil for Dogs?

Neither of us were particularly happy about the recent news of the last US sardine cannery closing, so I invited Benjy here to defend the honor of one of my favorite sea creatures. Benjy Weinberger has been eating food for over 30 years, and has held strong opinions for almost as long. Read his personal blog: http://jamknife.blogspot.com/ Follow him on Twitter: @benjyw Yes, We Can! Why We Should Be Eating More Sardines The whole street rumbles and groans and screams and rattles while the silver rivers of fish pour in out of the boats and the boats rise higher and higher until they are empty. The canneries rumble and rattle and squeak until the last fish is cleaned and cut and cooked and canned.– John Steinbeck, Cannery Row A few days ago we were told the last sardine cannery in the US closed its doors for good. A symbol, so the story goes, of how far sardines–once a staple of working-class pantries across the nation–have fallen out of favor with the American palate. But if you get past the bad “last sardine factory canned” puns, this narrative starts to seem, ahem, fishy. Because, in fact, the sardine is like Bad Company, alive, well and making a comeback."

Examples of forage fish include sardines, anchovies, herring, menhaden, squid, krill and smelt ( species specific information on these fish ). Forage fish are important both for humans and for the ecosystem which they are a part of. These small, abundant fish are harvested for use as bait, fertilizer, feed for aquaculture, and human consumption. In the ocean, forage fish play a vital role in marine ecosystems. They serve as a momentous link between lower and higher trophic levels. Many birds, fish and marine mammals rely on forage fish as their main source of prey. Because of their small size and susceptibility to predation, these fish often form schools, by which some predators have evolved to create intricate strategies for “surrounding” or “cornering” these schools of fish. Predators, such as salmon, are important to humans and society."

Bottom-feeding and scavenger sharks eat mollusks, squid, clams, and other small animals.

Hands down, sardines are the safest fish on the planet. With growing concern over the health of the seas, people are turning to sardines for the essential nutrients found in fish. Sardines are at the bottom of the aquatic food chain, feeding solely on plankton. As a result, they do not concentrate as much heavy metals like mercury and other contaminants found in most fish. Why not? They don’t live long enough to accumulate too much mercury. They live as long as 14 years of age, but about 90 percent of the population is under 6 years old."

The name sardine actually was used first in English in the fifteenth century. These animals are available at very high prices as these are one of the delicious sea foods. This is the reason; these animals are profitable and economically very important species. They have five leg pairs out of which three pairs have claws. The first pair of the claws is longer than all other ones. Details: The sardines are the invertebrates that have hard and strong protective exoskeleton. These resemble most of the arthropods as they moult to grow up and leave themselves vulnerable. In the season of moulting, most of the species of lobster automatically change their body color.

Their ability to cling to rocks with suction-cup-like feet and their hard exoskeletons make them difficult to find and eat for most other creatures, but starfish do have several predators. Sharks, manta rays, Alaskan king crabs and even other starfish prey upon them. Sharks Only sharks that swim near the bottom of the sea eat starfish. Nurse sharks, horn sharks and Port Jackson sharks are all known to eat them. All of these sharks have strong enough jaws to crush the hard bony outer skeleton of the starfish and eat the flesh underneath. There's not much meat there, however, and most sharks prefer squid and other soft-bodied animals that are easier prey. Manta Rays Manta rays are large dark-brown or black sea creatures closely related to the shark. They don't have teeth, and must eat by sieving their food through their mouths. Manta rays primarily consume plankton but will eat whatever they encounter, including starfish."

[ 1]The marine pelagic environment is the largest aquatic habitat on Earth, occupying 1,370 million cubic kilometres (330 million cubic miles), and is the habitat for 11% of known fish species. The oceans have a mean depth of 4000 metres. About 98% of the total water volume is below 100 metres (330 ft), and 75% is below 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). [ 2]Marine pelagic fish can be divided into pelagic coastal fish and oceanic pelagic fish. [ 3] Coastal fish inhabit the relatively shallow and sunlit waters above the continental shelf, while oceanic fish (which may well also swim inshore) inhabit the vast and deep waters beyond the continental shelf. [ 4]Pelagic fish range in size from small coastal forage fish, such as herrings and sardines, to large apex predator oceanic fishes, such as bluefin tuna and oceanic sharks. [ 1] They are usually agile swimmers with streamlined bodies, capable of sustained cruising on long-distance migrations. Many pelagic fish swim in schools weighing hundreds of tonnes. Others are solitary, like the large ocean sunfish weighing over 500 kilograms, which sometimes drift passively with ocean currents, eating jellyfish. ["

[ 5] The FAO / WHO Codex standard for canned sardines cites 21 species that may be classed as sardines; [6] Fish Base, a comprehensive database of information about fish, calls at least six species \"\"pilchard\"\", over a dozen just \"\"sardine\"\", and many more with the two basic names qualified by various adjectives. Sardines are commercially fished for a variety of uses: for bait; for immediate consumption; for canning, drying, salting, or smoking; and for reduction into fish meal or oil. The chief use of sardines is for human consumption, but fish meal is used as animal feed, while sardine oil has many uses, including the manufacture of paint, varnish, and linoleum."

[ 1]The marine pelagic environment is the largest aquatic habitat on Earth, occupying 1,370 million cubic kilometres (330 million cubic miles), and is the habitat for 11% of known fish species. The oceans have a mean depth of 4000 metres. About 98% of the total water volume is below 100 metres (330 ft), and 75% is below 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). [ 2]Marine pelagic fish can be divided into pelagic coastal fish and oceanic pelagic fish. [ 3] Coastal fish inhabit the relatively shallow and sunlit waters above the continental shelf, while oceanic fish (which may well also swim inshore) inhabit the vast and deep waters beyond the continental shelf. [ 4]Pelagic fish range in size from small coastal forage fish, such as herrings and sardines, to large apex predator oceanic fishes, such as bluefin tuna and oceanic sharks. [ 1] They are usually agile swimmers with streamlined bodies, capable of sustained cruising on long-distance migrations. Many pelagic fish swim in schools weighing hundreds of tonnes. Others are solitary, like the large ocean sunfish weighing over 500 kilograms, which sometimes drift passively with ocean currents, eating jellyfish. ["

"text": "Home » Trees How to Care for a Satsuma Mandarin Orange Tree Plant By Sarah Terry; Updated September 21, 2017Native to Japan, Satsumas are a variety of mandarin oranges, or tangerines, that are nearly seedless with a bright reddish-orange peel. Satsuma mandarin oranges grow best in semitropical and tropical regions, where hard frosts and freezes are rare. However, Satsuma mandarin orange trees can easily tolerate winter temperatures down to 26 degrees Fahrenheit. These citrus trees are relatively small in stature, reaching about 10 feet tall and wide at most at maturity. Plant your Satsuma mandarin orange trees beside the south wall of your house to provide the trees with extra cold protection in the winter. Water your newly planted Satsuma mandarin orange tree once every two or three days for the first two weeks, and then once every week to 10 days during the rest of the first growing season. Water the tree deeply and evenly to soak the soil around the root ball. Feed your Satsuma mandarin orange trees three times per year, in February, May and September. Feed the tree with a total of one cup of ammonium sulfate (21-0-0 NPK fertilizer) per year, divided into three equal applications, for each year of tree age. Begin fertilizing your newly planted Satsuma tree only after new growth emerges on the tree."

Compared to the more widely consumed navel and Valencia varieties, mandarin oranges are somewhat smaller, noticeably sweeter and considerably easier to peel. Although the terms “mandarin” and “tangerine” are often used interchangeably, tangerines are actually a type of mandarin orange. The usually seedless clementine orange is another kind of mandarin. All orange varieties -- including mandarins -- are considered good sources of dietary fiber. Fiber Content Mandarin oranges qualify as a good source of fiber because a typical serving supplies at least 10 percent of the daily recommended value. One cup of fresh mandarin orange sections -- about the equivalent of two average-sized fruits -- provides just over 100 calories and 3.5 grams of fiber, or 14 percent of the daily value. For just under 130 calories, a serving of two large-sized mandarins delivers 4.4 grams of fiber, or about 18 percent of the daily value. Smaller mandarins have a significant amount of fiber relative to the number of calories they contain. For just 40 calories, one small mandarin orange provides 1.4 grams of fiber."

But Americans couldn't always open the refrigerator and grab a glass of orange juice or walk by the corner fruit stand and pick up a navel orange. According to Richard Ray and Lance Walheim, authors of \"\"Citrus, How to Select, Grow and Enjoy\"\" (HP Books, 1980), the story of oranges in America is a kind of a citrus version of how the West was won. In 1841, William Wolfskill planted the first orange tree in Los Angeles. Though he was almost laughed out of town for even thinking of selling oranges, he persevered. He sold oranges to Gold Rush miners and, with the completion of the transcontinental railroad, shipped them to St. Louis in 1877. The California citrus business was off and running. In 1873, Eliza Tibbets was given three branches of an orange variety from Brazil. By 1878 she had three fruit-bearing trees and had started the navel orange industry in Riverside, Calif. Today, we're all eating descendants of the Washington navel she developed."

"text": "What is latex and Where does it come from? Latex is rubber and rubber is latex. Latex is a mixture of organic compounds produced by some plants in special cells called caticifers. The composition of latex differs from plant to plant. Most natural rubber comes from a single species of tree, Hevea brasiliensis. Though native to South America, H. brasiliensis is planted in large plantations in southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Picture of a rubber tree (taken from: www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/imaxxeup.htm)Rubber trees take around 5 years to grow from a seedling to maturity, or a point that it can start to produce rubber. It has an economic life of about 25 to 30 years. Trees are tapped by removing thin strips of bark, which disrupts the laticifers (definition : A plant duct containing latex). The latex then flows down grooves cut in the tree and drips into collection cups."

Over the past week, at both SOFIC 2011 ( 2011 Special Operations Forces Industry Conference) and NDIA Small Arms Systems Symposium 2011 ( 2011 International Infantry & Joint Services Small Arms Systems Symposium, Exhibition & Firing Demonstration ), Defense Review (DR) has had the opportunity to handle the FN SCAR PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) compact select-fire 5.56x45mm NATO (5.56mm NATO)/.223 Rem. SBR (Short Barreled Rifle), and we’re impressed with it, provided of course it works as advertised, and proves reliable, accurate, and durable under adverse combat conditions and high round count. The FN SCAR PDW is a good-looking weapon, and exhibits good ergonomics/usernomics, save for the reciprocating charging handled mounted/situated on the forward left side and, to a lesser extent, the minimal cheek piece at the rear of the receiver. Its ambidextrous operator controls (safety/selector switches, magazine release buttons, and bolt carrier release) are well-designed and easy to operate. The compact telescoping/retractible buttstock is also easy to operate and fairly comfortable against the shoulder, even though there are some obvious cheek weld issues. Regardless, the weapon should prove effective for deploying from vehicles, i.e., vehicle ops (operations) and in close quarters battle (CQB) environments, including Direct Action (DA) and house-clearing missions/ops (operations)."

"text": "How to Buy a Silencer How to Buy a Silencer If you've never purchased a sound suppressor (aka, silencer), or other NFA item, you may be intimidated by the process. The purpose of this page is to clarify exactly how the NFA process works. Have you been researching how to buy a silencer, short barrel rifle (SBR), short barrel shotgun (SBS), or machine gun online? Are you feeling a bit confused? There is so much conflicting and outdated information that it seems overwhelming to even think about diving in to begin the process. Fortunately, buying an NFA item (such as a silencer) is a simple process that generally requires less paperwork than buying a new refrigerator! ( Plus, suppressors are way “cooler” than fridges. Ha! ) In an ironic twist, ATF 41F opened the door for us at Silencer Shop to apply revolutionary technology to the suppressor ownership process in a way that was not possible prior to the rule changes. With our Secure Identity Documentation (S. I. D.) Kiosk and our Silencer Shop Mobile App, we’ve streamlined the arduous process to a more efficient and convenient practice."

"text": "\"AR15 Barrels Part 2: What You Need to Know About Length, Gas Systems, and Rifling By Wayne Anderson This article is part 2 of a 5-part series about AR15 barrels. In this part of the series, we'll talk about barrel length, gas systems, and rifling. The rest of the series can be found at the links below: Part 1: Intro, Fundamentals, and Manufacturing of AR Barrels Part 3: Caliber, Chamber, and Steel Types Part 4: Profiles, Fluting, and Dimpling Part 5: Surface Treatments and Muzzle Types AR-15 Barrel Length - What Length Should You Choose? Is a Longer AR Barrel More Accurate? To a lot of people, it's simple: A longer barrel shoots more accurately than a short one. \"\" It just shoots straighter,\"\" they'd say, and they'd be right about that. But they'd be wrong, too. The M16 rifle was built with a lightweight 20-inch barrel, which met military standards for accuracy. The newer M4 was shortened to make handling easier, with a 14.5\"\" barrel standard in the military version, though civilian rifle barrels are generally required to be 16\"\" or longer. But while a 20-inch M16 barrel does shoot straighter than a 14.5\"\" or 16\"\" barrel, the shorter barrels are just as accurate."

"text": "\"Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates to relatively large pneumatic tires which are routinely subjected to severe cutting and chipping (\"\"C & C\"\" for brevity) during use, and more particularly to nylon-reinforced tires. Such large tires are used in off-the-road (\"\"OTR\"\") equipment such as tractors, graders, backhoes, front end loaders, etc., and trucks which serve locations not accessible by conventional concrete or asphalt highways. Cutting takes place when the tire strikes a sharp object with enough force that the surface is penetrated or cut. Chipping can follow cutting by the effect of tractive, braking, or other forces on rough or sharp surfaces, causing tearing of the rubber compound, usually at 90° to the direction of the cut. Chunking is the tearing away of large chips. Cutting occurs suddenly and is unrelated to tearing; chipping is also relatively sudden but is related to tear strength. Neither cutting nor chipping is related to crack propagation which is a fatigue property. Natural rubber (NR) has good C & C resistance but generally poor wear resistance, that is, tread wear. Styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) also has good C & C resistance but high heat build-up and easy crack propagation."

Justin Renegade 04-14-14, 20:01What you have does not \"\"jive\"\". 1) Leave 4h empty 2) shorten your trust name. Big Waylon 04-14-14, 21:12You must engrave the full trust name...which is one reason choosing the trust name is important. You can amend it (as mentioned) to use a shorter name before you submit your application. ATF will not let you abbreviate it. The only time you can shorten it is if it was too long to fit in EForms, when that system worked."

Scott Sachs, call center technology guru and president of SJS Solutions, explains 5 critical ones. Corporate E-mail Address: By submitting your personal information, you agree that Tech Target and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers. You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. By closely matching an incoming call to the call center agent best-prepared to address a particular issue, callers experience shorter wait times and faster resolution of their issues, reducing average handle time ( AHT ). Because agents are trained for more specific skill sets, less training is required. Furthermore, the most highly-skilled agents can be assigned to important clients, targeting resources where they will provide the most return for the call center. These factors significantly reduce abandon rates and increase agent utilization, productivity and overall call center efficiency. In a SBR system, a caller is assigned to an agent based upon a wide range of potential criteria, including: The telephone number that was used to initiate the call The identity of the caller or the caller's number Choices made on the interactive voice response ( IVR) system Automating the process of agent allocation means that call center managers don't have to manually assign agents with certain skills to different queues throughout the day."

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-barreled_rifle\nShort-barreled rifle",
"text": "\"A \"\"sawn-off\"\" Mauser 98Short-barreled rifle ( SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired, rifled firearm, made from a rifle, with a barrel length of less than 16 in (41 cm) or overall length of less than 26 in (66 cm), or a handgun fitted with a buttstock and a barrel of less than 16 inches length. In the United States, an SBR is an item regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) as a Title II weapon. In the absence of local laws prohibiting ownership, American civilians may own an SBR provided it is registered with the BATFE, and a $200 tax is paid prior to taking possession of or creating the firearm. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Measurement method3 Production4 Legality5 See also6 References7 External links History [ edit]The regulation of short-barreled rifles was the result of the National Firearms Act of 1934 which also imposed restrictions on short barreled shotguns, suppressors and machine guns. [ 1]Measurement method [ edit]Overall length is measured between the extreme ends of the gun, along a centerline which passes through the middle of the barrel. For rifles fitted with folding or telescoping stocks (such as U. S. Carbine M1A1 ), US Federal guidelines state that measurement is performed with the stock unfolded as intended for use as a rifle. Exception is made for rifles with easily detachable shoulder stocks, which shall be measured with the shoulder stock detached. Some states — such as California and Michigan — measure overall length with the stock folded. Barrel length is measured from the end of the muzzle to the front of the breechface, typically by inserting a measuring rod into the barrel. Barrel length may partially comprise a permanently attached muzzle accessory (such as a recoil compensator or flash suppressor ). ["

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-styrene-butadiene-rubber.htm\nWhat is Styrene-Butadiene Rubber?",
"text": "Styrene -butadiene rubber (SBR) is one of the most versatile copolymer rubber compounds. It consists of the organic compound styrene and the chemical budatiene, with the amount of budatiene usually being about three times more than the amount of styrene. SBR is a stable synthetic that is resistant to abrasion. It is used in a wide variety of products, such as automobile tires, children's toys, shoe soles and even chewing gum. This compound is produced either through ionic polymerization of a solution or as an emulsion through free radical polymerization. Also known as emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (E-SBR), this product was first developed in the 1930s by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. It was created through an emulsion procedure that used polymerization as the means of producing a material that had a low reaction viscosity but had all the attributes of natural rubber. It was very cost-effective and was used to stretch dwindling natural rubber resources, especially in tire manufacturing at a time when tires were made of solid rubber. This rubber soon began to be produced in other countries, and its production in the United States was increased during World War II to help stockpile material for the war effort. Much of the production was done in plants owned by the U. S. government, and many of the products manufactured went directly to the country's military forces."

Under these conditions, SBR conveyor belts can require frequent replacement, significantly raising your operating costs. When processing moderately oily materials, use Hoffmeyer’s line of MOR belting to save time and money. Materials that generate only a small amount of animal fats, vegetable fats, or oil, may not be identified as damaging to SBR belts, but do in fact lead to quick belt degradation. The transportation of recycled trash, lumber, fertilizer, grains, and compost all contain oils that deteriorate rubber belting and should be processed on a MOR belt. Moderately oil resistant (MOR) conveyor belting is necessary when a belt is intermittently exposed to oil. Hoffmeyer offers a wide selection of moderately oil resistant belts. These MOR conveyor belts are covered with a unique, protective combination of SBR and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to provide a smooth, oil-resistant surface. The use of MOR belts in oily processing drastically improves the longevity of your belting, creating a cost-effective solution for your processing needs. Hoffmeyer supplies fabric or rubber-backed MOR belts for steel pan systems."

The sleeve is used to create an air and watertight seal on the pipe surface and the stainless steel clamping bands produce the compressive force that forms the seal. Stainless steel shear bands are used in some of the product range to resist lateral movement across the joint caused by ground settlement. An elastomer can be broadly defined as a natural or synthetic elastic material. The elastomer compounds used in our coupling sleeves meet the requirements of BS EN 681:1. This is a requirement of the coupling manufacturing standards and ensures that the EPDM rubber compounds used meet specified physical performance criteria and as such the longevity and performance of the products is assured. EPDM Rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)Advantages: • A high performance synthetic rubber. • Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer has excellent resistance to ozone, weathering and sunlight. • Excellent heat resistance and very good flexibility at low temperature. • EPDM generic temperature range is -50ºC/+150ºC. • Flexseal states: continuous operation at 80ºC; intermittent at 100ºC. • Has a good general chemical resistance and can be used above ground. •"

"text": "Do You Need to Engrave Your Form 1’ed SBR?by Foghorn |Jan 29, 2016 |227 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email [UPDATE] This article seems to have stirred up some controversy. I asked the ATF a straightforward question, and reported truthfully on the answer I received. It seems that a number of people are annoyed that the answer I got doesn’t match their preconceived notions and goes against their own readings of the law, and as a result are starting to attack me personally over this article. Here’s the thing: I can only report the truth. This is exactly what the ATF told me. As always, I am not a lawyer and this does not constitute legal advice, so if you are concerned feel free to contact one before taking any actions. It seems like short barreled rifles are all the rage these days. Ever since the advent of the gun trust and ATF’s e Forms it has never been easier to register your firearm as an NFA device and chop down the barrel as low as it can go. There’s just one problem: the marking requirement. Ask three people whether you need to engrave your information on your newly registered NFA device and you’ll get three different answers."

"text": "NFATracker.com: NFA Wait Times Down to 30 Days In Some Casesby Foghorn |Oct 16, 2014 |48 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email The folks at NFATracker.com have for years now tracked how long it takes for NFA paperwork to be approved. They remain the best source of information about the NFA Firearms Branch of the ATF (since the ATF doesn’t really do the whole metrics thing). Ever since a spike in applications in the last couple years forced the department to finally hire some more staff we’ve been waiting with bated breath for the wait times to come down from their 14 month peak (as in, 14 months for a paper form 4…from the moment you sent it in to an approved stamp). According to a new chart from NFATracker.com, that prodigious wait time has dwindled to 30 days . . . Albeit that 30 day figure is only for Form 1 applications submitted through the E-File system, but even Form 4 wait times appear to be down to about 4 months flat (120 days). The trend line is dramatic, dropping straight off a proverbial cliff about a year ago and trending down ever since. It’s indicative of the fact that the ATF is finally catching up on their paperwork and we might finally be getting to a point where NFA forms are approved as they come in rather than lingering in massive piles in the hallways for months, waiting for five or so people to finally get to them. The waiting time for NFA paperwork is by far the biggest hurdle for new shooters to get into the world of the $200 tax stamp. The cost of the stamp itself is no longer much of an issue, but the prospect of spending $700 to $1,400 on an item and then being unable to actually use it for over a year can be a dealbreaker. As the waiting times come down I expect that mental barrier to entry to disappear, and the flood gates of new NFA buyers to open up."

Maybe you want to use our Wax in a Potpourri or even with a Tea Light (flamed candle) to release our scent and want to know if it’s okay to do that.

BY JOE ESTRELLA - [email protected] Copyright: © 2011 Idaho Statesman The 14-acre campus will house its corporate, manufacturing and distribution arms. Scentsy Inc., which ranked first among consumer products and services companies and 19th overall on Inc. Magazine’s 2010 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, is building on Commercial Street south of the intersection of South Eagle Road and East Pine Avenue. Company officials expect work to be completed by March. They declined to reveal the cost. Scentsy manufactures wickless candles heated in ceramic candle warmers. The campus is expected to be a boost to The Core, a 6-square-mile, 1,800-acre economic growth corridor in Meridian being promoted as a future home to health care, technology and related companies. The campus will have: • A new 105,000-square-foot warehouse on the west end of the property. • An existing 56,414-square-foot building on the property that is being remodeled into office and manufacturing space and will have a 23,500-square-foot dock added to it, according to city documents. • An existing 20,267-square-foot building will be used for facilities and maintenance operations. •"

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions Q: How does a Scentsy warmer work? A: A Scentsy warmer uses a 25 watt lightbulb to heat a scented wax cube that emits fragrances throughout your home. Because of the low-wattage lightbulb, the wax never gets hot enough to burn so it is safe to use around children and pets. Scentsy wax is sold in scentsy bars. Place your favorite scented bar in the warmer, turn the warmer on and enjoy the awesome aroma of Scentsy. Q: What is Scentsy? A: Scentsy is a direct marketing company headquartered in Meridian, Idaho.

"text": "\"Burning Candles Can Cause Indoor Air Pollution Posted By: Katrina Cain on: September 02, 2008 In: Eco, Health, Technology No Comments Print Email Share 0 Tweet Share 0 Share 0 Share 6Tweet I was interested to read the research out there. Long ago, I decided to stop burning paraffin wax candles in my home, knowing that they are petroleum derived and that burning petroleum products releases a whole host of carcinogens. Aside from my assumption, I knew very little about the actual danger associated with burning candles. The research out there is even scarier than I had originally thought. Lead In order to make the wicks more durable, candle makers have been using a lead or zinc core surrounded by cotton or other materials. When burned, this lead ends up in the air as particulate matter and settles on surrounding furniture. Lead is toxic to humans and there is a lawsuit pending against a retailer who sold a woman candles containing lead that subsequently produced lead poisoning in her family members. The lead concentration in her home, caused by burning candles with lead wicks was 27 times the safe allowable amount in her area. To avoid candles with lead wicks, gently scrape away a little bit of the top layer of wax at the base of the wick to look for metallic fibers. Unless the candle specifically states that it contains no lead, don’t buy or burn the candle."

"text": "\"Jim Wang, Bargaineering Jan. 28, 2013, 1:28 PM 143,561With scrutiny coming to bear on the mutli-level marketing (MLM) company Herbalife, there are many who are asking questions about whether or not these work from home \"\"opportunities\"\" are scams. There are a number of legitimate businesses that allow you to get into direct sales from your home. In my neighborhood alone, there are several stay at home moms that sell a variety of products, from Scentsy candles to Tupperware to costume jewelry. My own mother sold Avon for years while I was growing up. Most of those I know in these programs, though, don't actively recruit others to sell in an attempt to boost their own income; rather, they are involved to get the products at a discount, and maybe make a few bucks on the side. Not all programs are as forgiving, though. In some cases, you might find yourself buying large amounts of product, only to sit on it. Even worse, you might get on a MLM company's \"\"fast track\"\" or pay for a special \"\"program\"\" that leaves you in debt — and without any real results. Before you sign up for an MLM program, consider these 5 signs that you might be dealing with something that is more like a scam than a true home business opportunity:1. Focus is More on Recruiting than Selling One of the first things to watch out for is a focus on recruiting rather than selling."

My mother-in-law shared this wonderful secret with me a few days ago and I'm literally thrilled about it. So, instead of using the wax cubes, which contain who knows what kind of chemicals and only masks odors, you can use essential oils and diffuse them into the air with your wax warmer. Fill the dish with water. Choose whatever essential oil you love the most or need the most. I chose peppermint so my house smells like Christmas. Peppermint oil also helps you focus and concentrate when it's diffused into the air. Diffused oils can actually kill viruses and bacteria in the air! I just love a clean home. People say that an actual diffuser works much better than a candle warmer for medicinal purposes, which I believe, however other people swear that this method works perfectly for medicinal purposes."

It seems to be a very large market ! What I did understand that these candles have a wood + soy wick, instead of a normal cotton thread wick. This, I believe, eliminates most of the smoke that is associated with the normal candle and can be manufactured with a wider range of fragrances and shapes and sizes …. interesting.

Scorpios are a Fixed sign, which means they are practical, determined and strong-willed. They are notorious for working long and hard on their goals and achieving them. Scorpio is ruled by the element of Water. Water signs are known for their sensitivity, emotional nature, moodiness and expression. At first glance, Scorpios appear observant, calculating and perceptive. What you see is usually what you get. They are the most difficult people to get to know, because of innate secretive personality. Most Scorpios love to hear all your dirty secrets, but they rarely share theirs. Scorpios are extremely competitive in many areas of life."

"text": "\"Posted on October 9, 2017Jupiter In Scorpio 2017-2018 – How It Is Going To Affect You Written by Astro Butterfly Posted in Jupiter, Scorpio Tagged Jupiter, Scorpio Comments17 Comments Jupiter in Scorpio is one of the most important transits of 2017-2018. Jupiter will stay in Scorpio until November 8th 2018. Jupiter has a 12-year cycle, meaning that it spends approximately one year in each sign. That’s why Jupiter changing signs is the astrological event of the year. Maybe you already felt the shift in one area of your life. When Jupiter changes signs, it moves from one house of your natal chart to the next. If you are a Libra ascendant, Jupiter moved from your 1st house to the 2nd house. If you are a Scorpio Ascendant, Jupiter moved from your 12th house to your 1st house. Jupiter moving into Scorpio basically means that the energy of Jupiter will start activating a different part of your chart. Until October 2017, Jupiter has been in Libra, expanding Libra themes: relationships, beauty, fairness, justice."

Consider not only your Star Sign but Moon Sign for emotions, Rising for how you appear to others, as well as the position of Venus for love and Mercury for communication. Best friend Aries This bold and energetic sign connects with others for obvious reasons: an Aries friend is willing to help others achieve their goals, they believe the best of others, they take risks for others, and will defend those they see as vulnerable. Aries make friends easily and enjoy having a variety of interesting friends, but generally seek out friendships that will help them in some way. They want to be your best friend, they can’t stand to feel second to anyone else. They can be bossy with their friends, be blind to the way they effect others with their bold and brash nature, as well as selfish and jealous with their loved ones’ time. Compatibility: Aries can get along with almost all signs, but can struggle with Scorpio and Virgo. Relationships with Capricorn, Libra or Cancer can go either way. Taurus and their loving friendships Those born with the Taurus sign are seen as fantastic friends: they are considerate people who are attentive, loving, and charming with a talent for giving advice. As an earth sign they are stable, loyal, trustworthy, and supportive."

It is responsible for breaking down the old to make room for the new. Pluto can also represent power and control, and reigns over our relationship to authority figures and leadership. Pluto is the furthest and tiniest planet of all. In fact, this body is so small and far away that it lost its official status as a planet. However, that doesn't change the astrological fact that Pluto packs a significant punch. Named after the mythological lord of the underworld, Pluto was discovered in 1930, a period of economic depression and rising fascism.

They miss nothing, so don’t try and put one over a Scorpio, they will catch you out every time. Don’t get on the wrong side of Scorpio either, as they are unforgiving, they like a receptive audience when they have something to say and are highly opinionated, they can be cool characters when there is a cause that needs their attention and respond well under pressure. They are determined and when they feel they are in the right, will not back down under any circumstances, they take charge of their lives and will take charge of yours, if you let them. Career If you have a Scorpio working for you, be assured the job will be done and be done well, they are researchers and work very well as independent entities, they are self-motivated and charismatic, they are born diplomats, they pay close attention to people when they have something to say. They are drawn to psychology and will keep your secrets. Relationship Scorpios have a healthy sex drive and need a partner to match their appetite for them to be truly happy in a relationship, intuitive Scorpio knows what you what and need in the relationship and wants you to be as tuned in to them as they are to you.

"text": "\"Jupiter Enters Scorpio a new stage on the Burning Way Every year, Jupiter changes from one sign to the next, setting the stage of human consciousness for the ensuing year. This year the change is from Libra to Scorpio, along the \"\"via combusta\"\", or \"\"Burning Way\"\", producing profound upheavals in the collective, especially at a political, financial and religious level (these are the areas mainly governed by Jupiter). Rob Tillett, one of the founders of Astrology on the Web, discusses the effects this new transit will have on the various signs of the zodiac. On October 25th 2005, Jupiter, the lord of the ancient gods, moves into Scorpio, the sign of the Scorpion, where he will bring some remarkable developments over the coming year. Jupiter in the heavens remains in each sign of the zodiac for approximately twelve months, taking twelve years to transit the entire zodiac. At the end of each of these cycles, matters must progress to a new level, or else they will fall away into obscurity and eventually oblivion. The Great Chronocrator These cycles of Jupiter, in coordination with the cycles of Saturn, the other \"\"Great Chronocrator\"\", or \"\"Time Lord\"\", direct the energies that have significant effects on the collective being, marked especially by the conjunctions between these two massive forces, but also by the sign changes, hard aspects and retrograde periods. The cycles of astrology are reflected in our daily lives, as well as informing the patterns of our human creativity, whether artistic or musical, social, political or financial. We are currently exploring a new cosmic phase, as the last conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurred in May/June 2000 in Taurus, the sign of the Bull. The point of this conjunction, at 23° Taurus, will be re-activated by the conjunction of Mars on October 1, 2005, when Mars turns retrograde at 23° Taurus (there are a number of other powerful aspects on that day — see Mars Retrograde )."

"text": "\"Crystals for Scorpio Posted by Ra K on November 3, 2011 at 12:51pm in Astral Weather Vane Back to Astral Weather Vane Discussions Crystals for Scorpio The Scorpion is the most sexual sign of the zodiac, they are charismatic, powerful, magnetic and intense. They tend to be secretive, manipulative and regenerative. Their personalities are penetrating and very vindictive with a \"\"do or die\"\" attitude. Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea; it may burst into eruption at any moment. Choose a stone or stones that will help bring balance into your present situation. Topaz This Scorpio birthstone stone is for \"\"true love and success in all endeavors\"\". It can be used to manifest health and correct disorders within the body. They promote understanding, compassion, kindness and empathy."

"text": "Share Ready, set, rebirth! Scorpio season has descended upon us. The Sun is in this intense, sultry and secretive sign from October 23-November 21, putting our focus on intimacy, transformation and how we share our power with others. Just when we thought things couldn’t get more heated (in Hollywood…and beyond! ), Scorpio season has arrived with a vengeance. Every 30 days or so, the Sun visits a new zodiac sign. During this “season” everyone feels the energy of this prevailing astrological energy, no matter what your Sun sign. Scorpio is the second of the zodiac’s three water signs and part of the “fixed” quality (or triplicity). Fixed signs (the others are Taurus, Leo and Aquarius) are all about security, planting their flag in the turf they’ve claimed and establishing their dominance there. They are often hardworking and stable, or unafraid to take a strong position on issues."

"text": "Scorpio Born on November 10Scorpios born on November 10 come off as individuals who have strong opinions. They are able to use their intelligence to communicate their knowledge to those around them. Their intelligence is a mix of what they learn academically and what comes to them intuitively — both work hand in hand. Upon meeting someone, Scorpios born on November 10 are not ones to trust what they say, but rather watch in detail what they do and then decide whether they want to invite them into their lives. November 10 Scorpios navigate through life as loners sometimes, because they are so intent on having things done in the way that seems logically best to them. That does not mean that they are not receptive to other people’s ideas, it simply means that at the end of the day, they trust their own above all else. At the same time, November 10 Scorpios attract a lot of loyal friends by their side, because people can just tell that these Scorpios can be trusted with deep secrets or confessions. If you are a Scorpio born on November 10, you will dabble in multiple talents and career paths as you evolve, and this can make it difficult for you to choose one set path to pursue. That is because you are able to pick up new skills with much adaptability. The main thing for you is to not just to focus on what you are good at, but rather to focus on what you are most passionate about."

Slytherin Scorpios are filled with ambition in all parts of their life, and they are perfectionists.

I don't think she would have been suited for Hufflepuff, Gryfindor or Slytherin as well. Let's break down the qualities house by house. Gryfindor- qualities required are bravery, risk taking etc. Hufflepuff - loyalty, ability to focus/work hard, fair play and kindness. Ravenclaw - intelligence, willingness to be open minded, learn new things and uniqueness. Slytherin - cunning, ambition and power as you all very well know already. Let's pretend this is a SH ceremony now: Luna was not all that courageous. It was not her strongest suit though she was brave taking part in the Battle at the Ministry. So she would not fit into Gryfindor."

In fact, the author has implied that it is the only school of wizardry in Britain — while every Wizarding child can go to Hogwarts, the author states that not all do choose to do so. Also, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it is stated that before Lord Voldemort's takeover of the Ministry of Magic, parents of Wizarding children could, instead of sending them to Hogwarts, homeschool them or send them abroad if they so wished, implying that those were the only three options available. The events of the first six books of the Harry Potter series, and the climax of the seventh book, occur largely in and around this school, which Harry attends to get his education from the time he turns 11. Extended Description [ edit]Beginner warning: Details follow which you may not wish to read at your current level. Founded roughly a thousand years before the events of the series by the four Founders ( Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin ), Hogwarts, the premier Wizarding school in Britain, is housed in a large magically-active castle near the Wizarding village of Hogsmeade. The castle itself is protected by Anti- Apparition wards (preventing an attacker from suddenly appearing in its midst), and Muggle-Repellent charms (to the occasional Muggle who is determined to approach, the castle is spelled to look like a dangerous ruin, with keep-away warning signs posted). The Forbidden Forest, adjacent to the school grounds, contains many wild magical creatures, some of which are actively hostile towards humans, Wizarding or not. Situated at the edge of the Forest, the Groundskeeper's Hut, where Rubeus Hagrid (\"\"Keeper of the Keys and Grounds\"\") lives, is well-placed for looking after the subjects of each Care of Magical Creatures class (taught by Hagrid starting in Harry's third year)."

I've thought of myself as Slytherin for four years, yet I too was nervous all my Slytherin paraphanalia would go to waste during the sorting. It turns out though many questions are quite random and you just have to honestly choose what appeals the most to you. It's not that easy sometimes though. Also, my sister always thought of herself as a Gryffindor and answered honestly and is Gryffndor. My questions were: What do you want to be remembered for? I chose Power Beach or Forest? I chose Forest Which of these items would you investigate first? I chose a pool of water with something glimmering in it What order would you save these items in?"

I know when both reading the books and watching the movies, I always had a feeling of foreboding when there were a number of Slytherin house members around or the time when Harry and friends went into Slytherin and felt this feeling was emphasized by the writing and film directing. We hear very little positive about Slytherin (other than the repeated line that Harry would be a great wizard if he went in Slytherin) and there really isn't a list of great wizards who were in Slytherin House. Even in the movie Deathly Hallows (I can't check the book - I loaned it to my sister 3 weeks after it was published and haven't seen it since! ), Mc Gonagall specifically asks Filtch to lead all the Slytherin students into the dungeon while Hogwarts is under siege by Voldemort. She doesn't specify that any Slytherin students remain behind to help fight. Is this intentional? Did JKR intentionally create a bad reputation and not present any counter-examples so we'd believe all of Slytherin was bad? Most characters in the Potter-verse are complex."

They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution.\"\" -- Professor Binns ( CS9)Over a thousand years ago, the four greatest witches and wizards of the age shared a dream, to create a school where young people of the wizarding world could study and be trained in the magical arts they needed to become skilled, fully-trained wizards. These four great witches and wizards were Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin, and Helga Hufflepuff ( CS9 ). According to legend, “the location and name of Hogwarts were both chosen by Rowena Ravenclaw, who dreamed that a warty hog was leading her to the cliff by the lake” (JKR-W3). These four great wizards each founded one of the Houses of the school that they worked together to form: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They have been referred to as ‘The Hogwarts Four’ ( CS17 ). For a number of years, this arrangement worked just fine. Each of the founders took a group of students to be in their own house and even though they had differences of opinion about who should be trained, the house system helped them all to work together. However, as the years went by, the differences between Gryffindor and Slytherin became a serious rift."

Harry also assured his son that, if he was sorted into Slytherin, that the house would have gained a great student and that he and Ginny would think no less of him for it. Harry also told Albus that if he preferred Gryffindor, then the Sorting Hat would take this choice into account, as it had in his case (something Harry never told any of his other children)."

"text": "\"The Ilvermorny Houses Match With Hogwarts Houses, If You're Paying Attention By Emma Lord June 28 2016This morning, J. K. Rowling released all sorts of information on the North American Harry Potter-verse, including the story of the American Hogwarts, called Ilvermorny, and an Ilvermorny Sorting Quiz, which sorts people into brand new Houses. No doubt people are wondering as they take this quiz which Ilvermorny Houses match with Hogwarts Houses, but before we get into that, you should make sure you're up to speed with how Ilvermorny came to be in the first place. According to Rowling, Ilvermorny was established by Isolt Sayre, a young Irish girl and descendant of Slytherin who fled to America on the Mayflower. Throughout her journey she encounters many magical creatures, Muggles, and other witches and wizards, embarking on romance and adventure and fleeing the spite of her abusive, powerful aunt, a pureblood with elitist views. It is through these adventures that Isolt forms the four Houses of Ilvermorny, which are each based off of an icon from Native American mythology. Unlike the Hogwarts Houses, the Ilvermorny Houses do not have nearly as distinct divisions in terms of personality or skills; in fact, many students in Ilvermorny are chosen for more than one House, and ultimately are tasked with making the decision themselves. That being said, you don't have to squint very hard to find clear parallels between the Ilvermorny Houses and the Hogwarts Houses, even based on the very little information on Ilvermony Sorting that we have. The Horned Serpent Is Ravenclaw Giphy Rowling describes the Horned Serpent as representative of the mind, and physically as a \"\"great horned river serpent with a jewel set into its forehead\"\". This might initially conjure images of Slytherin, but when you consider the origins of the Horned Serpent in mythology and the way Rowling ultimately writes the icon into the narrative, it is actually very far from its fellow snake. In Native American mythology, the horned serpent is mystical figure often associated with rain, thunder and lightning, and water, and in some folklore their scales were used for divination and their horns for healing."

With the addition of Harry Potter as Seeker in 1991, at the time the youngest House player in over a hundred years, the Gryffindor team was widely believed to be the best team at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, the team lost their chance for the cup in spring 1992 because Harry was out of action for the final game and again in spring 1993 when the competition was cancelled. In 1994, finally, Gryffindor took their well-deserved victory and won the cup. The captain for Gryffindor was Oliver Wood, a strong and very capable player who played Keeper in Harry’s first three years. Wood was obsessive about the game, dragging his team out for more practices than any other team and devising complicated strategies over the summer to inflict on his players in the fall. The school year after Wood left there was no Quidditch because of the Tri-Wizard Tournament."

The phenomenon is generally codified by the religious traditions and as such becomes a taboo. When enforced by the physical destruction of images, aniconism becomes iconoclasm.

It emerged as a corollary of seeing God's position as the ultimate power holder, and the need to defend this unique status against competing external and internal forces, such as pagan idols and critical humans. Idolatry was seen as a threat to uniqueness, and one way that prophets and missionaries chose to fight it was through the prohibition of physical representations. The same solution worked against the pretension of humans to have the same power of creation as God (hence their banishment from the Heavens, the destruction of Babel, and the Second Commandment in the biblical texts). Aniconism as a construction – Some modern scholars, working on various cultures, have gathered material showing that the idea of aniconism is in many cases an intellectual construction, suiting specific intents and historical contexts, rather than a fact of the tangible reality (Huntington for Buddhism, Clément for Islam and Bland for Judaism – see below in notes and references)."

A belief in the cyclical reincarnation of the soul is one of the foundations of the Hindu religion. Death is viewed as a natural aspect of life, and there are numerous epic tales, sacred scriptures, and vedic guidance that describe the reason for death's existence, the rituals that should be performed surrounding it and the many possible destinations of the soul after departure from its earthly existence. While the ultimate goal is to transcend the need to return to life on earth, all Hindus believe they will be reborn into a future that is based primarily on their past thoughts and actions. Most of the Hindus believe in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, which is called ‘Samsara’. ‘Samsara’ or the doctrine of rebirth is also known as the theory of reincarnation or of transmigration of the soul. This doctrine is considered to be a basic tenet of Hinduism. According to doctrine of rebirth, differences between individuals, even at the time of their birth are due to their past karma i.e. actions done in the past birth. For example if one child is born healthy while another is handicapped or blind, the differences are attributed to their deeds in their previous lives. Those who believe in this theory reason that since all actions may not bear fruit in this life, there has to be another life for facing or reaping the consequences of one’s actions."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom Hinduism Beliefs About Sacrifice By Eleanor Mc Kenzie; Updated September 29, 2017Sacrifices are made to please gods and placate demons. Sacrifice plays an important role in Hinduism, although the rituals associated with it have evolved over Hinduism's several thousand years of existence. The Vedic scriptures dictate the rules of sacrifice and priests follow highly structured methods of incorporating sacrifice into worship. In some parts of the Hindu world animal and human sacrifice still exist: The majority of Hindus disapprove of both these practices, and the latter is a criminal act. Purpose of Sacrifice In Hinduism, sacrifice, or \"\"yajna\"\" to use the Sanskrit word, turns the profane into the holy, according to Anna Smorag in the article \"\"The Significance of Sacrifice in Hinduism.\"\" Hindus use it to achieve \"\"moksa,\"\" which is liberation of the soul from the cycle of rebirth and knowledge of the true self through a state of unity with Brahman the Supreme Being. Smorag states that sacrifice has a special place in Hindu tradition because the ritual provides a separation between everyday activity and worship. Vedic Sacrifice Following the Rig Veda, the oldest of the Vedic scriptures, Brahmin priests use grains, vegetables and ghee, which is purified butter, in sacrificial rites. The belief behind sacrificial rites is that these please the gods and preserve dharma. In Hinduism, dharma is a person's responsibility to observe a moral code and traditional customs."

The word \"\"Hindu\"\" is derived from the name of River Indus, which flows through northern India. In ancient times the river was called the 'Sindhu', but the Persians who migrated to India called the river 'Hindu', the land 'Hindustan' and its inhabitants 'Hindus'. Thus the religion followed by the Hindus came to be known as 'Hinduism'. According to scholars, the evolution of Hinduism may be divided into three periods: the ancient (6500 BCE-1000 AD), the medieval (1000-1800 AD), and the modern (1800 AD to present). Hinduism is commonly thought to be the oldest religion in the history of human civilization. It was earlier believed that the basic tenets of Hinduism were brought to India by the Aryans who invaded the Indus Valley Civilzation and settled along the banks of the Indus river about 2000 BC. However, the supposed invasion of the Indian subcontinent by the Aryans has now been proved to be a flawed one and is considered nothing more than a myth. http://hinduism.about.com/library/weekly...cloudy · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment\"\"Hindu\"\" is a coined word which the afghans used to call the people who lived on the east of the river Indus (Then called the Sindhu improperly pronounced as Hindu by the afghans)."

With Hinduism this practices were reconsidered in a new light more approachable to the all the rage worshipers; been from that time until today the most popular and massive religious cult in India. The sculptures in India perform in this transition a very important role to publicize the images corresponding to the new creed. To these most ancient Vedic deities, which personified forces of nature and the divine celestial world, was assigned new functions, other deities lost importance or disappeared, while some minor deities were elevated to religious prominence."

"text": "Sanskrit is regarded as the ancient language in Hinduism, where it was used as a means of communication and dialogue by the Hindu Celestial Gods, and then by the Indo-Aryans. Sanskrit is also widely used in Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. The term ‘Sanskrit’ is derived from the conjoining of the prefix ‘Sam’ meaning ‘samyak’ which indicates ‘entirely’, and ‘krit’ that indicates ‘done’. Thus, the name indicates perfectly or entirely done in terms of communication, reading, hearing, and the use of vocabulary to transcend and express an emotion. An extraordinarily complex language with a vast vocabulary, it is still widely used today in the reading of sacred texts and hymns. Origin & purity of Sanskrit The Sanskrit language was termed as Deva-Vani (‘Deva’ Gods - ‘Vani' language) as it was believed to have been generated by the god Brahma who passed it to the Rishis (sages) living in celestial abodes, who then communicated the same to their earthly disciples from where it spread on earth. The origin of the language in written form is traced back to the 2nd millennium BCE when the Rig Veda, a collection of sacred hymns, is assumed to have been written after being continued for centuries through oral tradition and preservation of verbal knowledge in the Guru-Disciple relationship. The purity of this version (Vedic period, 1500 – 500 BCE) of Sanskrit is doubtlessly reflected in the flamboyance of the perfect description of the forces of nature in the Rig Veda. Vedic Sanskrit Sanskrit in terms of its literary association is classified into two different periods, the Vedic and Classical. Vedic Sanskrit is found in the Vedas sacred texts, especially the Rig Veda, the Puranas, and the Upanishads, where the most original form of the language was used."

If it means the celebration of the ideals of Vedas, upanishads, Gita, Thirukkural, the Ramayana, Mahabharata and other great works of Hinduism, it is great. If it means appreciating the temples, visiting them and restoring them, it is great. If it means exploring the spirituality in all the great means we have available - yoga, dhyana etc that is great. It is also great to stand against the destruction of temples & religious symbols out of hate and bigotry. It is great to stand against unfairness. It is all great when it is the spiritual form where you are exploring your inner self.

"text": "\"Aakash Chugh, Manipalite '11. Tartan '12. Answered 224w ago Originally Answered: Why do Hindus burn the bodies of the dead? Hindus believe in the soul being indestructible; and that death symbolises end of the existence of a person's physical being, but the start of a new journey for the soul. This soul then reincarnates in some other life form, and passes through the same cycle of taking birth, growing and eventually meeting death- only to begin the cycle afresh. Cremation of a person's dead body is therefore, supposed to rid the departed soul of any attachments to the body it previously resided in. Also, a traditional belief among Hindus says that a person's body is composed of 5 elements- earth, fire, water, air and sky. The cremation ceremonies of Hindus are directed towards returning the body to these elements. The body is progressively returned to earth, air, sky and fire by burning it under skies; and the ashes are respectfully collected and poured in a river. It is said that excessive mourning over a deceased prevents the soul from being completely detached from its loved ones, and keeps it from undertaking its new journey- that of taking up a new life."

One thing that researchers agree upon is that mankind has always believed in a Higher Power. Archaeology has shown that no ancient society ever existed that did not believe in the supernatural. ( See: Can you show me that God exists?) Based upon a massive worldwide study of the most ancient inscriptions and the earliest levels of civilization, Dr. Wilhelm Schmidt (in his twelve-volume Der Ursprung Der Gottesidee) concluded that the original belief was monotheistic; a belief in One God (see footnote 1, below). It was a simple belief in the Creator (Dyeus Pater; Sky-Father) with no imagery of any kind. It gave way relatively quickly to polytheism and idolatry, but its traces could still be seen by the careful researcher, just as (for example) Proto-Indo European has left indelible marks within the later languages."

"text": "\"The Origin and Definition of the Name Hinduby Jayaram VThe Indians who migrate to western countries or visit them often find it amusing to see some westerners struggling to pronounce their names. Even the simplest names are often mispronounced by some, making one wonder how it can be possible. Interestingly the word \"\"Hindu\"\" came into existence because of mispronunciation of a Sanskrit word by the ancient Persians some 3000 to 4000 years ago. The word \"\"Hindu\"\" is not a Sanskrit word. It is not found in any of the thousands of native dialects and languages of India. Neither it is a religious word. It is a secular word whose origin is rooted in the language of the ancient Persians, who supposedly shared some common ancestry with the ancient Indians. It was practically unknown in India till the medieval period, although it was used in several countries outside the Indian subcontinent from earlier times. It is said that the Persians who were familiar with the Indian subcontinent, used to refer to the Indus river as Sindhu, a major river that still flows in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, partly in India and partly in Pakistan. However due to linguistic barriers, they could not pronounce the letter \"\"S\"\" correctly in their native tongue and mispronounced it as \"\"H.\"\" Thus, for the ancient Persians, the word \"\"Sindhu\"\" became \"\"Hindu. \"\""

It is the world's most ancient culture and the socio, spiritual, and religious tradition of almost one billion of the earth's inhabitants. Sanatana Dharma represents much more than just a religion; rather, it provides its followers with an entire worldview, way of life and with a coherent and rational view of reality. Definition Sanatana Dharma is by its very essence a term that is devoid of sectarian leanings or ideological divisions. This is evident by the very term itself. The two words, \"\"Sanatana Dharma\"\", come from the ancient Sanskrit language. \"\" Sanatana\"\" is a Sanskrit word that denotes that which which is Anadi (beginningless), Anantha (endless) and does not cease to be, that which is eternal and everlasting.

"text": "\"LIFE AFTER DEATH - hinduism INTRODUCTION There is one thing that is certain in this lifetime: eventually we all must die. A belief in the cyclical reincarnation of the soul is one of the foundations of the Hindu religion. Death is viewed as a natural aspect of life, and there are numerous epic tales, sacred scriptures, and vedic guidance that describe the reason for death's existence, the rituals that should be performed surrounding it and the many possible destinations of the soul after departure from its earthly existence. While the ultimate goal is to transcend the need to return to life on earth, all Hindus believe they will be reborn into a future that is based primarily on their past thoughts and actions. Most of the Hindus believe in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, which is called 'Samsara'. ' Samsara' or the doctrine of rebirth is also known as the theory of reincarnation or of transmigration of the soul. This doctrine is considered to be a basic tenet of Hinduism. According to doctrine of rebirth, differences between individuals, even at the time of their birth are due to their past karma i.e. actions done in the past birth. For example if one child is born healthy while another is handicapped or blind, the differences are attributed to their deeds in their previous lives. Those who believe in this theory reason that since all actions may not bear fruit in this life, there has to be another life for facing or reaping the consequences of one's actions."

On this page Introduction Indus Valley Civilisation Vedic Period Epic, Puranic and Classical Age Medieval Period Pre-Modern Period British Period Independent India Find out more Print this page Introduction History of Hinduism India Hinduism's early history is the subject of much debate for a number of reasons. Firstly, in a strict sense there was no 'Hinduism' before modern times, although the sources of Hindu traditions are very ancient. Secondly, Hinduism is not a single religion but embraces many traditions. Thirdly, Hinduism has no definite starting point. The traditions which flow into Hinduism may go back several thousand years and some practitioners claim that the Hindu revelation is eternal. Although there is an emphasis on personal spirituality, Hinduism's history is closely linked with social and political developments, such as the rise and fall of different kingdoms and empires. The early history of Hinduism is difficult to date and Hindus themselves tend to be more concerned with the substance of a story or text rather than its date. Hindu notions of time Hindus in general believe that time is cyclical, much like the four seasons, and eternal rather than linear and bounded. Texts refer to successive ages ( yuga ), designated respectively as golden, silver, copper and iron."

He wrote in his logbook that he saw “many vines growing naturally there. ”Also known as “scuppernong,” muscadines are bronze or a purple black color and tend to be larger, stronger and have thicker skins than traditional grapes. Found in Southeastern states from Texas to Georgia and up to North Carolina, muscadine grapes appear in all types of local recipes. Growing up outside Dallas, I remember eating muscadine jam and jelly and drinking muscadine juice many times as a young boy. But jams and jellies and juices don’t really offer the full health benefits of the muscadine grape, since it turns out that the juice and seeds and skin and pulp all have various health benefits. This being so, it’s really prudent to have eat the entire grape (including seeds) or take a supplement that utilizes the entire muscadine (skin, pulp, seeds, and juice). Here’s something very interesting. Normal grapes have 19 pairs of chromosomes, but muscadines actually have an extra pair of chromosomes!"

"text": "MUSCADINE GRAPEVitis rotundifolia Michx. Vitaceae Common Names: Muscadine, Bullace, Scuppernong, Southern Fox Grape. Related Species: Summer grape ( Vitis aestivalis ), California Grape ( V. californica ), American Grape, Fox Grape ( V. labrusca ), River Bank Grape ( V. riparia ), Sand Grape ( V. rupestris ), European Grape ( V. vinifera ). Origin: The muscadine grape is native to the southeastern United States, found in the wild from Delaware to the Gulf of Mexico and westward to Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Many older varieties were selections from the wild, but the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station and the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture have introduced a number of improved varieties that have become standard cultivars. The earliest named variety was Scuppernong, found growing wild in northeastern North Caroline in 1810 by Dr. Calvin Jones. Scuppernong has become another name for all muscadine grapes. Commercial production of muscadine grapes is essentially limited to the U. S. Southeast. Adaptation: Muscadines are well adapted to the warm, humid conditions of the southeastern U. S., where the American and the European grape do not prosper."

"text": "ADVERTISEMENTThere are two basic types of grapes, American and European. Today, both are grown in the United States, but the European grapes are more popular and versatile. Seeded varieties are thought to have better flavor than seedless, but Americans—who tend to eat grapes as a snack rather than as a dessert—seem to prefer the convenience of seedless grapes. The list that follows covers the major (and a few minor) varieties of grapes, both seeded and seedless, grown in this country. European varieties of grapes Our familiar table grapes are derived from a single European species, Vitis vinifera. Varieties of vinifera grapes were grown by the ancients, and now are made into the world’s great wines and dried to produce raisins. They have relatively thin skins that adhere closely to their flesh. When seeds are present, they can be slipped out of the pulp quite easily, although some varieties are seedless. Spanish missionaries likely brought European varieties of grapes with them when they moved north from Mexico and established vineyards in California in the late 18th century. Today, California produces the majority of European varieties of grapes in the United States."

Now that winegrowing in the United States has succeeded so brilliantly after long years of frustration, and now that it is beginning once again to spread to nearly every state in the union, it seems to me particularly fitting that the many obscure and forgotten people and their work lying behind that success should be brought out into the light. It is also instructive to see how many names celebrated in other connections also belong to the story of American winegrowing, from Captain John Smith onwards. Even more important, a knowledge of the difficulties they faced and of the work they did will help us to understand better the success that has at last been achieved."

"text": "\"Related Articles My Grapes Won't Ripen What Are the Causes of Grapes Turning Black Before They Ripen? The Best Time to Pick Concord Grapes for the Best Flavor How to Get New Grape Plants When planting grapes for the home garden, the harvest season can be extended by planting varieties that ripen during different time periods. Categorized as early, midseason and late, with gradations in between, such as early midseason, the earliest grapes generally begin to ripen in July or August, depending upon your location and climatic conditions, such as temperature and rainfall. The earliest ripening begins in the warmest locations and moves north and into valleys, where temperatures warm up more slowly. Ripening is signaled by changes in grape stems from green and flexible to brown and hard. Seeds also darken as grapes mature, but the most reliable way to tell if grapes are ripe is to taste a grape from the tip of the cluster where grapes mature last. Early season grapes ripen over a shorter period of time than midseason- and late-ripening grapes. Muscadine Grapes Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) are native to the southeastern United States where mild winters and high humidity provide cultural conditions suited to this cluster-forming species. Coastal regions of California in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 10 also provide climatic conditions for muscadine culture. Most muscadine grape cultivars ripen in midseason, two to three weeks after early varieties mature."

From The Conjure Woman first published in 1899 by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., \"\"The Goophered Grapevine\"\", is one of seven short stories set in \"\"Patesville\"\" (Fayetteville), North Carolina with John, a white carpetbagger, as narrator. THE GOOPHERED GRAPEVINESome years ago my wife was in poor health, and our family doctor, in whose skill and honesty I had implicit confidence, advised a change of climate. I shared, from an unprofessional standpoint, his opinion that the raw winds, the chill rains, and the violent changes of temperature that characterized the winters in the region of the Great Lakes tended to aggravate my wife's difficulty, and would undoubtedly shorten her life if she remained exposed to them. The doctor's advice was that we seek, not a temporary place of sojourn, but a permanent residence, in a warmer and more equable climate. I was engaged at the time in grape-culture in northern Ohio, and, as I liked the business and had given it much study, I decided to look for some other locality suitable for carrying it on. I thought of sunny France, of sleepy Spain, of Southern California, but there were objections to them all. It occurred to me that I might find what I wanted in some one of our own Southern States. It was a sufficient time after the war for conditions in the South to have become somewhat settled; and I was enough of a pioneer to start a new industry, if I could not find a place where grape-culture had been tried. I wrote to a cousin who had gone into the turpentine business in central North Carolina."

Millions of perennial plants, bushes and trees are produced in TN. that end up in retail nursery garden centers, orchards and Mail Order warehouses that are destined to be sold, planted and grown in yards, vineyards and parks throughout the country. Apple trees are perhaps the largest class of fruit trees grown, and it is important to remember that for apple tree pollination, two separate cultivars must be grown. Both Sweet Cherry trees, like Bing and Black Tartarian Cherry trees then, Sour Cherry trees, like Montmorency and North Star Cherry trees are important, and cherries in colors of red, black and yellow are the most significant cultivars. Both Freestone Peach tree and Freestone Peach trees are important to sell in the wholesale trade maturing peaches in colors of white and yellow (red). Nectarine trees have fruit that is similar to a peach tree, and the nectarine fruit often is called a fuzzless peach. Nectarine trees produce a smooth skin fruit that has become as important for eye appeal in the grocery store as the peach fuzzy fruit. Plum trees are important late spring ripening fruit and several kinds of plum trees may even bear plums in late summer or fall, depending on the plum cultivar that is chosen.

"text": "What's a Muscadine? About the Muscadine Muscadines ( Vitis rotundifolia) are a grapevine species native to the present-day southeastern United States that has been extensively cultivated since the 16th century. They are well adapted to their native warm and humid climate and they thrive on summer heat. They are also resistant to pests and diseases, including Pierce's disease, which can destroy other grape species, such as the more commonly known European varieties. Muscadines are also resistant to Phylloxera, an insect that can kill the roots of grapevines. There are over 300 muscadine cultivars growing in the southern states. These include bronze, purple, black and red varieties and consist of common, wild-growing and patented grapes. The grapes themselves are characterized by their thick skins, seeds, and an unusual soft, musky-flavored pulp. Mainly known as a distinctively Southern delicacy, the muscadine grape (also called a “scuppernong”, “bullis”, “bullet grape”, or “fox grape”) is unique to the Southeastern United States and is not marketed widely in other parts of the country. People unfamiliar with the flavor of the muscadine may find it to be an “acquired taste”, but to Southerners (and those who have developed a love of our native grape) there is no substitute for our regional favorite!Muscadines and Winemaking Muscadines have been used for making commercial fine wines and port wines dating back to the 16th Century in and around St. Augustine, Florida."

Typically grown in the southeastern United States, they are disease and insect resistant, can be planted any time of the year and thrive like a weed. The scuppernong is a variety that has been cultivated since the 1500s and is still widely popular in home arbors and for making wine. Let the vine grow the first year so that it can collect all the energy it needs from the leaf canopy. Trim the vine back if it grows past the top wire of your trellis, which is usually set 5 feet from the ground. Keep the ground clear of weeds around the base of the plant. In the fall, choose one branch to be the trunk and use a piece of string to tie it to the top wire of your trellis. Trim away the other side branches. Trim the plant back at the end of the second year so that you have a main stem and two canes. Cut off all the remaining growth and trim back the canes so that each only has three or four buds."

Record anything interesting you notice.4) Leave the shell in the vinegar for a few days. Check on the shell often and write about any changes you see.5) After a few days use the spoon to fish the shell out of the vinegar. Put the shell on the paper towel and press down on it with the spoon. What happens? A Scientific Explanation: Seashells contain calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid in the vinegar and causes carbon dioxide bubbles to form. Even though the acid in vinegar is weak it can, over a period of time, dissolve shells. EXTRA!"

It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. Nacre is found in some of the most ancient lineages of bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. However, the inner layer in the great majority of mollusc shells is porcellaneous, not nacreous, and this usually results in a non-iridescent shine, or more rarely in non-nacreous iridescence such as flame structure as is found in conch pearls. The outer layer of pearls and the inside layer of pearl oyster and freshwater pearl mussel shells are made of nacre. Other mollusc families that have a nacreous inner shell layer include marine gastropods such as the Haliotidae, the Trochidae and the Turbinidae.

Most people visit the seashore on vacation and pick up souvenir seashells without having any idea what they are called or how rare they may be. On this page you'll be able to see pictures of the shells I have and maybe you will learn a bit about the ones you have in your collection. In fact, you may even have a rare shell and don't even know it!Respect for sea life is important and I hope that by learning about the mollusks who make these unique homes for themselves, that we end up enjoying, you will agree that they deserve much respect. Where can I collect big seashells? Everyone wants to stumble upon a magnificent, huge shell sitting in the sand. Everyone who strolls the beaches would love to find that one beautiful, large shell. Just imagine catching a glimpse of the protruding spire, with the rest buried in the soft sand, as the surf rushes out. You run to the spot before it's covered with the incoming waves and quickly dig it up. Wow, what a specimen!I suppose it does happen, but in all my years of visiting east coast Florida beaches, I have never had this experience. ("

The wings of the blue Morpho butterfly and the surface of the mother-of-pearl seashell share a beautiful mode of coloration: iridescence. The cause of this phenomenon has been attributed variously to diffraction, a combination of diffraction and interference, and interference alone. What are pearls and mother-of-pearl? Pearls are greatly valued in the jewelry industry, and are classified as organic gems because living creatures create them. The life of a pearl starts when a particle or piece of grit ends up in a shell of a marine or freshwater mollusk like an oyster or clam (either naturally or placed there by a person). As a defense mechanism, the particle is then coated with layers of nacre, a blend of minerals secreted by the oysters or other mollusks. These layers eventually become a thick enough coating to form a pearl. Mother-of-pearl is the name commonly given to shells coated in a deposit of nacre."

Calcium carbonate is composed of three elements which are of particular importance for all organic and inorganic material on our planet: carbon, oxygen and calcium. Calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3) is a white solid, is non-toxic and odourless. Download presentation about Calcium Carbonate and the British Calcium Carbonates Federation. The earths crust contains more then 4% calcium carbonate, making it one of nature's most abundant raw materials. Calcium carbonate is found as rock in all parts of the world, is the main component of seashells and is usually the principal cause of hard water. As well being dissolved in rivers and oceans, the mineral can be found in molten form as \"\"cold\"\" carbonatite-lava, or as a solid in the form of stalactites, stalagmites or as the major constituent of whole mountain ranges.10 things you might not know about calcium carbonate Calcium carbonate geology Calcium carbonate is normally found as a white mineral (calcite) which occurs naturally in chalks, limestones and marbles. Some of these rocks were formed by inorganic processes, but many are of organic origin being composed of the remains of countless sea organisms. Most are limestones, a general term used for a rock possessing varying proportions of calcite and dolomite with small amounts of iron-bearing carbonates. Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium, with the formula Ca Mg (CO 3) 2."

"text": "\"In yet another absolutely amazing display of nature's prowess, the contents of the egg are wrapped in a perfect, seamless, incredibly strong shell as though by magic! Eggs are objects of art. It turns out the chicken has little to do with the formation of an egg's shell -- the egg actually grows the shell around itself! It does this using processes that are also seen in bones and seashells. Around the egg is a membrane, and evenly spaced on the membrane are points where columns of calcite (a form of calcium carbonate) form. These columns stack together side by side to form the shell. According to an incredibly interesting book called \"\"Made to Measure\"\" by Philip Ball: The nucleation points are defined protein nodules called mammillary protrusions, and the mineral is first deposited as particles of aragonite with random orientation of the crystal planes. On top of these aragonite piles, columns of oriented crystalline calcite begin to grow upward. The calcite is basically floating in solution around the shell, and it deposits on the shell like a forming crystal. The egg grows its own shell!These links will help you learn more: Formation and Parts of the Egg Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

"text": "Related Articles Lime for Pest Control What Does Lime Do for Grass? How to Use Hydrated Lime to Kill Parasites in Your Lawn How to Put Lime on Your Vegetable Garden If you notice that the plants in your yard exhibit signs of nutrient deficiencies, you should test your soil for acidity. Soil that is too acidic inhibits absorption of plant nutrients, especially calcium and magnesium. This causes stunted growth and severe discoloration in plants, including grasses. Spreading lime powder on your lawn will help alleviate severe acidity. It is a natural method of improving soil. Determining if Your Lawn Needs Lime Powder If you suspect that the soil in your yard is acidic, purchase a soil test kit from a garden center. Acidic soil will have a p H below 7, and plants begin to suffer when the p H drops to 5.5 or lower. Lime powder comes from limestone, a gray sedimentary rock of calcite formed from fossilized seashells that are thousands of years old. Lime powder primarily consists of calcium carbonate and small amounts of other minerals such as magnesium."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview The skin covers the entire external surface of the human body and is the principal site of interaction with the surrounding world. It serves as a protective barrier that prevents internal tissues from exposure to trauma, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, temperature extremes, toxins, and bacteria. Other important functions include sensory perception, immunologic surveillance, thermoregulation, and control of insensible fluid loss. The integument consists of 2 mutually dependent layers, the epidermis and dermis, which rest on a fatty subcutaneous layer, the panniculus adiposus. The epidermis is derived primarily from surface ectoderm but is colonized by pigment-containing melanocytes of neural crest origin, antigen-processing Langerhans cells of bone marrow origin, and pressure-sensing Merkel cells of neural crest origin. The dermis is derived primarily from mesoderm and contains collagen, elastic fibers, blood vessels, sensory structures, and fibroblasts. [ 1] See the image below. Anatomy of the skin. View Media Gallery During the fourth week of embryologic development, the single cell thick ectoderm and underlying mesoderm begin to proliferate and differentiate. The specialized structures formed by the skin, including teeth, hair, hair follicles, fingernails, toenails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, apocrine glands, and mammary glands also begin to appear during this period in development."

The true function of these glands has yet to be determined, but there are several theories, including antioxidant effects, antibacterial effects, and transport of pheromones. Sebaceous glands produce lipids that are involved in the pathogenesis of one of the most prevalent diseases of adolescence, acne. Although the majority of lipids produced by the sebaceous gland are also produced in other areas of the body, there are two that are characteristic of the sebaceous gland, wax esters and squalene. This review seeks to present an update on the physiology of the sebaceous glands, with particular emphasis on the production of sebaceous lipids.wax esters sebum sebum functions acne Previous Section Next Section Introduction Sebaceous glands are found all over the human body except on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

This coating protects the skin against some bacteria. Below the surface is a complex of sweat and oil glands, hair follicles, blood vessels, nerves, and muscle tissue. These are held together by a tough connective tissue called collagen. Collagen is very important in determining the health of the skin. The relative health of the collagen determines the contour of the skin, how wrinkled and lined it is. Healthy collagen is often called soluble collagen, because it can absorb and hold moisture. Below the collagen is a layer of fat and muscle, which provides some contour and acts as a cushion and as insulation. The skin has three layers."

"text": "The sebaceous gland is a microscopic gland found in a person’s skin. In fact, the skin contains many of these glands, which produce and secrete sebum. Sebum is a yellowish, waxy substance that has an oily feel to it. It helps keep a person’s skin and hair from becoming too dry. Sebaceous glands are attached to the bottom of hair follicles in the skin. Cells within the sebaceous gland have the job of producing sebum. In time, these special cells burst, releasing the sebum to travel through the hair follicle shaft or duct and onto the surface of the skin or scalp. The sebum secreted by the sebaceous gland consists of three different components: wax, fat, and dead cells. Most of a person's sebaceous glands are on the parts of the body normally covered by the most hair. They are most prevalent in the skin of the scalp and face."

They are widely distributed all over the dermis of skin, except for the palms and soles. They are especially abundant in the scalp and face. They are also very numerous around the apertures of ear, nose, mouth and anus. Structure of sebaceous glands: Sebaceous glands are small and sacculated in appearance. They are made up of a cluster of about 2-6 piriform alveoli. Their ducts open into the hair follicles, with the exception of lips, glans penis, inner surface of prepuce, labia minora, nipple and areola of the breast, and tarsal glands of the eyelid, where the ducts open on the surface of the skin. Nature of sebaceous glands: Sebaceous glands are holocrine in nature, which means that they produce their secretion by complete degeneration of the central cells of the alveolus. The degenerated central cells are then replaced by proliferating peripheral cells. Role of sebum: The secretion of sebaceous glands is under hormonal control, especially the androgens."

"text": "Eccrine glands are one of the three kinds of sweat glands present in the skin, along with apocrine and sebaceous glands. Human skin contains between two and three million of these glands, mostly on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the armpits. Eccrine glands are seen as being a uniquely human structure in that they occur among other primates with only half the frequency as among humans. In non-primate animals, they are either confined to the pads of the feet and lip margins, or are entirely absent. The evolutionary purpose of eccrine sweat glands among humans is somewhat controversial. Sweating is one of the least effective of the thermoregulation mechanisms among mammals. In extreme environments, it could even lead to severe dehydration and death. For that reason, it is believed by some that thermoregulation is actually a secondary purpose of sweating, and that some other function, such as the removal of waste salts, accounts for the proliferation of eccrine glands in humans. While apocrine and sebaceous glands produce oily, waxy secretions that are associated with body oils and odors, the sweat from eccrine glands, being mostly water, generally does not cause unpleasant odors. These glands are also distinct in that while sebaceous and apocrine glands are usually attached to a hair follicle, eccrine glands are always open on the surface of the skin."

The thickness of the epidermis varies in different types of skin; it is only .05 mm thick on the eyelids, and is 1.5 mm thick on the palms and the soles of the feet. The epidermis contains the melanocytes (the cells in which melanoma develops), the Langerhans' cells (involved in the immune system in the skin), Merkel cells and sensory nerves. The epidermis layer itself is made up of five sublayers that work together to continually rebuild the surface of the skin: The Basal Cell Layer The basal layer is the innermost layer of the epidermis, and contains small round cells called basal cells. The basal cells continually divide, and new cells constantly push older ones up toward the surface of the skin, where they are eventually shed. The basal cell layer is also known as the stratum germinativum due to the fact that it is constantly germinating (producing) new cells. The basal cell layer contains cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes produce the skin coloring or pigment known as melanin, which gives skin its tan or brown color and helps protect the deeper layers of the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Sun exposure causes melanocytes to increase production of melanin in order to protect the skin from damaging ultraviolet rays, producing a suntan. Patches of melanin in the skin cause birthmarks, freckles and age spots."

Pilosebaceous units are found everywhere on the body except the lower lip, the palms of the hands, and the tops and soles of the feet. The greatest concentrations (and the places acne is most often seen) are on the face, scalp, upper neck, and chest. The sebaceous glands produce sebum, an oily substance comprised of triglycerides, wax, squalene, and free fatty acids. Sebum keeps the skin and hair moisturized and acts as a waterproofing barrier to prevent them from becoming dry and brittle. It also performs an important function by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the skin. The Association Between Sebum and Acne While the sebaceous glands typically produce the ideal amount of sebum to keep the skin and hair moisturized, they sometimes don't work well as expected. By way of example, sebum production tends to slow down at around the age of 20. With the glands less able to produce enough sebum on a regular basis, the skin can become dry and lose elasticity. This is one of the reasons why skin texture changes as you get older."

Its functions include protection of internal structures, prevention of entry of disease-causing microorganisms, temperature regulation, excretion through perspiration, pigmentary protection against ultraviolet sunrays, and production of vitamin D. The body stores about half its fat in the underlying hypodermis. Back to top Skin: epidermal layers The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a surface area of 18 square feet. Its two main layers are the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer). The epidermis has several strata (layers) that contain four cell types. Keratinocytes produce keratin, a protein that gives skin its strength and flexibility and waterproofs the skin surface. Melanocytes produce melanin, the dark pigment that gives skin its color.

Whether a cyst needs treatment depends on a number of factors, including:the type of cystthe location of the cystif the cyst is causing pain or discomfortwhether or not the cyst is infected If you’re not sure of what your own skin condition is, you can take a picture and send it to an online dermatologist. Recognizing cysts A cyst can appear as a bump on your skin. It may also feel like a small lump if it’s growing just under your skin. Some cysts grow deep inside your body where you can’t feel them. However, they may cause or be related to other symptoms. For example, ovarian cysts, such as those that result from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may cause problems with ovarian and reproductive function."

"text": "Human skin, in human anatomy, the covering, or integument, of the body’s surface that both provides protection and receives sensory stimuli from the external environment. The skin consists of three layers of tissue: the epidermis, an outermost layer that contains the primary protective structure, the stratum corneum; the dermis, a fibrous layer that supports and strengthens the epidermis; and the subcutis, a subcutaneous layer of fat beneath the dermis that supplies nutrients to the other two layers and that cushions and insulates the body. Animation and microphotography showing the skin's three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutis. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Distinctive features The apparent lack of body hair immediately distinguishes human beings from all other large land mammals. Regardless of individual or racial differences, the human body seems to be more or less hairless, in the sense that the hair is so vestigial as to seem absent; yet in certain areas hair grows profusely. These relatively hairy places may be referred to as epigamic areas, and they are concerned with social and sexual communication, either visually or by scent from glands associated with the hair follicles.protective properties of human skin Human skin, whose cells are generated continuously by the body, serves as a protective barrier between the inside of the human body and the environment. © Minute Earth The characteristic features of skin change from the time of birth to old age. In infants and children it is velvety, dry, soft, and largely free of wrinkles and blemishes. Children younger than two years sweat poorly and irregularly; their sebaceous glands function minimally. At adolescence hair becomes longer, thicker, and more pigmented, particularly in the scalp, axillae, pubic eminence, and the male face."

Update Cancel Answer Wiki1 Answer Naj Khan, Professor in Human Anatomy & Physiology at Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne (1969-present)Answered May 16, 2017 · Author has 154 answers and 147.8k answer views Originally Answered: What is the main function of the dermis? The \"\"dermis\"\" is the living layer of skin. It is divided into a papillary region and a reticular region. The primary function of the dermis is to cushion the body from stress and strain, and to provide: elasticity to the skin, a sense of touch, and heat. Compared to skin (epidermis), the dermis is a thick layer of fibrous and elastic tissue (made mostly of collagen, with a small but important component of elastin) that gives the skin its flexibility and strength. The dermis contains nerve endings, sweat glands and oil (sebaceous) glands, hair follicles, and blood vessels. The nerve endings sense pain, touch, pressure, and temperature. Some areas of the skin contain more nerve endings than others. For example, the fingertips and toes contain many nerves and are extremely sensitive to touch."

[ 1] It resides in the dermal layer of the skin and is made up of 20 different cell types, each with distinct functions. The hair follicle regulates hair growth via a complex interaction between hormones, neuropeptides and immune cells. [ 1] This complex interaction induces the hair follicle to produce different types of hair as seen on different parts of the body. For example, terminal hairs grow on the scalp and lanugo hairs are seen covering the bodies of fetuses in utero and in some new born babies. [ 1] The process of hair growth occurs in distinct sequential stages. The first stage is called anagen and is the active growth phase, catagen is the resting stage, telogen is the regression of the hair follicle phase, exogen is the active shedding of hair phase and lastly kenogen is the phase between the empty hair follicle and the growth of new hair. [ 1]The function of hair in humans has long been a subject of interest and continues to be an important topic in society, developmental biology and medicine. Of all mammals, humans have the longest growth phase of scalp hair compared to hair growth on other parts of the body. [ 1] For centuries, humans have ascribed esthetics to scalp hair styling and dressing and it is often used to communicate social or cultural norms in societies."

The deepest layer of the epidermis is the stratum basale or the stratum germinativum. Also note in this layer the cells with clear cytoplasm. Most of them are melanocytes, but some could be Langerhans cells or Merkel cells, which are dendritic cells of the immune system and sensory system, respectively, that also have clear cytoplasm. These three clear cell types cannot be distinguished in routine paraffin sections. The next several layers belong to the stratum spinosum.

Tangible assets are physical entities that the business owns such as land, buildings, vehicles, equipment, and inventory. Intangible assets are things that represent money or value; things such as Accounts Receivables, patents, contracts, and certificates of deposit (CDs). Assets are also grouped according to either their life span or liquidity - the speed at which they can be converted into cash.

This is intuitive: a company has to pay for all the things it owns (assets) by either borrowing money (taking on liabilities) or taking it from investors (issuing shareholders' equity). For example, if a company takes out a five-year, $4,000 loan from a bank, its assets – specifically the cash account – will increase by $4,000; its liabilities – specifically the long-term debt account – will also increase by $4,000, balancing the two sides of the equation. If the company takes $8,000 from investors, its assets will increase by that amount, as will its shareholders' equity. All revenues the company generates in excess of its liabilities will go into the shareholders' equity account, representing the net assets held by the owners. These revenues will be balanced on the assets side, appearing as cash, investments, inventory, or some other asset. Assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity are each comprised of several smaller accounts that break down the specifics of a company's finances. These accounts vary widely by industry, and the same terms can have different implications depending on the nature of the business."

GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Under U. S. GAAP, all R & D expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. According to IFRS, an intangible asset arising from development is recognized if specific criteria are met. Little progress has been achieved towards convergence on this issue. ********** Introduction The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) continue their efforts to converge their accounting standards into a single set of high-quality financial reporting standards. These efforts, which started in earnest in 2002, have lead to the identification of areas where the accounting models for similar transactions differed. Accounting for research and development (R & D) activities is one of the areas of divergence between the two accounting frameworks. This paper focuses on the differences between Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U. S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS or IAS) when accounting for R & D activities and covers the progress being made towards convergence. Common Definition of R & D Activities in FASB and IASB Standards Many costs have characteristics similar to those resulting from R & D activities: for example; start-up costs for a new plant or new retail outlet; marketing research costs; promotion costs of a new product or service; and costs of training new personnel. To differentiate R & D costs from other similar costs, the FASB and the IASB defined R & D activities in their respective standards, which are: International Accounting Standard (IAS) No."

Unlike the income statement, which is a change statement that reports events occurring during a period of time, the balance sheet is a statement that presents an organized array of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity at a point in time. It is a freeze frame or snapshot picture of financial position at the end of a particular day marking the end of an accounting period. Why does the balance sheet not portray the market value of the entity The balance sheet does not portray the market value of the entity (number of common stock shares outstanding multiplied by price per share) for a number of reasons. Most assets are not reported at fair value, but instead are measured according to historical cost. Also, there are certain resources, such as trained employees, an experienced management team, and a good reputation, that are not recorded as assets at all. Therefore, the assets of a company minus its liabilities, as shown in the balance sheet, will not be representative of the company's market value. Current Assets (1) Cash (2) Cash equivalents (a) commerical paper (b) money market funds (c ) U. S. treasury bills (3) Short-term investments (4) Recivables (5) Inventories (6) Pre-paid expenses Current Liabilties Refers to the time period of the following: (1) Cash to acquire raw materials (2) Convert raw materials to finished goods (3) Deliver product to customer (4) Collect cash Operating cycle for a typical manufacturing company The operating cycle for a typical manufacturing company refers to the period of time required to convert cash to raw materials, raw materials to a finished product, finished product to receivables, and then finally receivables back to cash Current Vs. Noncurrent assets in investments in equity securities Investments in equity securities are classified as current if the company's management (1) intends to liquidate the investment in the next year or operating cycle, whichever is longer, and (2) has the ability to do so, i.e., the investment is marketable. If either of these criteria does not hold, the investment is classified as noncurrent."

It was first introduced by Nicholas Kaldor in 1966 in his article \"\"Marginal Productivity and the Macro-Economic Theories of Distribution: Comment on Samuelson and Modigliani\"\". [ 1] [2] It was popularised a decade later, however, by James Tobin, who describes its two quantities (1977): One, the numerator, is the market valuation: the going price in the market for exchanging existing assets. The other, the denominator, is the replacement or reproduction cost: the price in the market for newly produced commodities. We believe that this ratio has considerable macroeconomic significance and usefulness, as the nexus between financial markets and markets for goods and services.

"text": "A: The purpose of any business is, of course, to generate profit, so there are a variety of metrics that business owners and investors use to assess the efficiency of a company's business model. While many popular metrics, such as the net profit margin, measure the degree to which a business is profitable, efficiency metrics measure how well a company uses what it already owns to generate profits. The fixed asset turnover ratio is one such metric. The formula for the fixed asset turnover ratio is as follows: Fixed Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Net Fixed Assets For a fuller understanding of how this calculation works, it's important to understand the individual components. Net sales, simply enough, is all operational revenue generated by the sale of goods or services, minus any deductions for returns or reduced pricing. Fixed assets generally refers to those assets that cannot easily be converted into cash. Current assets, such as marketable securities and accounts receivable, are not included in the fixed asset total. Common fixed assets are real estate, equipment and vehicles. However, because fixed assets include all illiquid assets that benefit the operational efficiency of the company for an extended period of time, a company's total fixed assets as reported on the balance sheet may include intangible assets, such as goodwill. For the purposes of the fixed asset turnover ratio calculation, these intangible assets are subtracted from the total, yielding the net fixed asset figure."

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

For organizations interested in quantifying the IDS's value prior to deploying it, their investment decision will hinge on their ability to demonstrate a positive ROI. ROI has traditionally been difficult to quantify for network security devices, in part because it is difficult to calculate risk accurately due to the subjectivity involved with its quantification. Also, business-relevant statistics regarding security incidents are not always available for consideration in analyzing risk. In considering an implementation of IDS technology, a return on investment can be understood by analyzing the difference between annual loss expectancy (ALE) without IDS deployment and the ALE with IDS deployment, adjusted for technology and management costs. The ultimate initial goal, then, should be to prove that the value proposition (re: a benefit in the form of a quantifiable reduction in ALE) in implementing and effectively managing the IDS technology is greater than the implementation and management costs associated to deploying the IDS technology. We will examine how implementation methods, management methods, and IDS policy affect ROI. This article will seek to demonstrate the value associated with a well thought out implementation and effective lifecycle management of IDS technology and will culminate (in Part II) with a number crunching exercise to calculate the ROI for an IDS deployment by a hypothetical brick n' mortar wholesale hardware supply company named Wally's Building Supplies (WBS), Inc. HIDS and NIDS Advantages Intrusion Detection is really an overlay of two separate and different technologies. Intrusion detection systems are divided into two types: Network IDS (NIDS) and Host-based IDS (HIDS) systems. The primary advantage of NIDS is that it can watch the whole network or any subsets of the network from one location."

Tangible assets are physical entities that the business owns such as land, buildings, vehicles, equipment, and inventory. Intangible assets are things that represent money or value; things such as Accounts Receivables, patents, contracts, and certificates of deposit (CDs). Assets are also grouped according to either their life span or liquidity - the speed at which they can be converted into cash.

"text": "\"Media Coverage Collateral Descriptions and Blanket Liens: Is the Kitchen Sink Enough?4 June 2015New York Law Journal Blanket or \"\"all assets\"\" security interests are among the most common, if not the most common, type of lien required of borrowers by secured lenders in commercial transactions. Describing the collateral for an all assets lien intuitively might seem easy. However, getting collateral descriptions correct under the rules of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) has challenged secured lenders for decades, and all assets liens are no exception. Two recent bankruptcy court decisions illustrate these challenges. In particular, they reflect the importance of distinguishing between a blanket lien collateral description in a security agreement and one in a UCC financing statement. Background Under Article 9, in order to create and perfect a security interest on most collateral, a secured creditor must provide a collateral description. UCC §9-203 states that a security interest attaches and becomes enforceable by a secured creditor against a debtor and third parties if: (1) value has been given, (2) the debtor has rights in the collateral or the power to transfer rights in the collateral, and (3) there is evidence of the parties intent to create a security interest. The third condition has been described as an evidentiary requirement in the nature of a Statute of Frauds, seeking to both avoid litigation of claims based on oral agreements and minimize disputes as to what was agreed.1 In most cases, the third requirement is satisfied when the debtor has \"\"authenticated\"\"2 a security agreement containing a description of the collateral.3But what constitutes a sufficient description of the collateral? UCC §9-108 (a) contains the general rule, which is that a description is sufficient if it \"\"reasonably identifies\"\" the collateral. Subsection (b) states that a collateral description reasonably identifies the collateral if it uses any of the following methods: (1) specific listing, (2) category, (3) type of collateral defined in Article 9 (such as \"\"accounts,\"\" \"\"goods,\"\" \"\"general intangibles\"\" and the like), (4) quantity, (5) computational or allocational formula or procedure, or (6) any other method by which the identity of the collateral is objectively determinable.4Article 9 specifically rejects a broad, supergeneric \"\"all assets\"\" or \"\"all personal property\"\" security agreement description as insufficient, stating in §9-108 (c) that a description such as \"\"all of the debtor's assets\"\" or \"\"all of the debtor's personal property\"\" or words of similar import does not reasonably identify collateral."

[ 1]One of the goals of people working in this field is to unlock the \"\"hidden value\"\" found in intangible assets through the techniques of finance. Another goal is to measure how firm performance correlates with intangible asset management. Intangible assets include business processes, Intellectual Property (IP) such as patents, trademarks, reputations for ethics and integrity, quality, safety, sustainability, security, and resilience. Today, these intangibles drive cash flow and are the primary sources of risk. Intangible asset information, management, risk forecasting and risk transfer are growing services as the economic base divests itself of physical assets. Rights to tangible and intangible assets are intangible, and can be traded globally. [ 2]Business models [ edit]A number of intangible asset business models have evolved over the years."

The Allied Barton security team consists of 205 professionals including armed special police officers (SPO), security officers, fire/life safety personnel, investigators, electronic systems administrators and analysts, security operation center personnel and managers.“ We believe in finding the best quality people to work on our security team,” said Gordon Mc Intosh, The World Bank’s chief of security operations. “ The Allied Barton team includes highly trained and engaged security personnel who go above and beyond for our community each and every day. ”On July 8, SPO Mohamed Radwan was approached by a World Bank staff member who reported an accident on I-Street, across from The World Bank’s offices. SPO Radwan responded to the scene immediately and observed two males lying in the middle of I-Street with a Yamaha motorcycle flipped over on the sidewalk. SPO Radwan, who has worked at The World Bank for 13 years, immediately reported the emergency situation to The World Bank Security Operations Center (SOC) and called 911 to have EMS and Police dispatched to the scene. SPO Radwan then placed traffic cones to block oncoming vehicles to ensure the safety of the injured males, and assumed control of the traffic and accident scene. Maintaining the safety of the victims and the integrity of the accident scene were Radwan’s top priorities."

While there were numerous stories of great professionalism, courage, and compassion by Americans from all walks of life, our task here is to identify the critical challenges that undermined and prevented a more efficient and effective Federal response. In short, what were the key failures during the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina?

Rather, we endeavor to find the answers in order to identify systemic gaps and improve our preparedness for the next disaster – natural or man-made. We must move promptly to understand precisely what went wrong and determine how we are going to fix it. After reviewing and analyzing the response to Hurricane Katrina, we identified seventeen specific lessons the Federal government has learned. These lessons, which flow from the critical challenges we encountered, are depicted in the accompanying text box.

"text": "Overview Representing the largest organization in the U. S. federal government, the Department of Defense (Do D) is responsible for protecting the United States by providing for a national defense. Do D includes all four branches of the armed services—Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines—along with multiple sub-agencies that produce everything from weapons and supplies for military units to intelligence on foreign threats. The George W. Bush administration’s Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) campaign caused the Do D’s budget to balloon to its highest levels ever. The Obama administration’s anti-terrorism undertakings, along with the ongoing war in Afghanistan, have ensured that upward trend. Implementing the GWOT also resulted in multiple controversies for the department, which was led for much of the past decade by a polarizing Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.more History: After winning its independence from England in the Revolutionary War, the United States government created the U. S. Department of War in 1789, charged with organizing and maintaining the U. S. Army to provide for the defense of the new republic. The Department of War, headed by the Secretary of War, was a cabinet-level department under the command of the President that did not manage the Navy, which was transferred in 1798 to the U. S. Department of the Navy. During the 19th century, the War Department supervised various military and non-military responsibilities ranging from the distribution of bounty land to pensions to Indian affairs to the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. The outbreak of war between the U. S. and Spain in 1898 resulted in an expansion of the War Department’s powers, and following the conflict, the department was reorganized in 1903. The office of the commanding general of the Army was abolished, and the general staff corps was established to coordinate the Army under the direction of the chief of staff, who was charged with supervising the planning of national defense and with the mobilization of the military forces. During World War I, the War Department was given supervision over the newly created National Guard, and under the National Defense Act of 1916, the officers’ reserve corps was created within the department."

"text": "\"Introduction On September 20, 2001, in response to the devastating 9-11 terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush proposed the creation of the Office of Homeland Security (OHS), which came into existence on October 8, 2001. The homeland security budget was to be distributed among four policy initiatives: emergency preparedness and response; weapons of mass destruction countermeasures; border and transportation security; and information analysis and infrastructure protection. On June 6, 2002, President Bush announced his plans to create the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and in July 2002, his administration released the national strategy for homeland security. Unlike OHS, the DHS is a permanent agency and has budgetary authority over its mission. It also has a more comprehensive national strategy. However, the creation of this department entails the largest reorganization of the federal government since World War II and will likely take several years to implement fully. This brief outlines the evolution of the DHS and identifies some challenges the new department faces. Homeland Security Defined and the National Strategy According to the \"\"National Strategy for Homeland Security,\"\" the definition of homeland security is \"\"a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur.\"\" [ 1] Accordingly, the DHS' mission mirrors this definition and addresses the six focal points of the national strategy, which are (1) Intelligence and Warning; (2) Border and Transportation Security; (3) Domestic Counterterrorism; (4) Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets; (5) Defending Against Catastrophic Threats; and (6) Emergency Preparedness and Response. [ 2] In order to implement these six objectives, the DHS has created four directorates: Border and Transportation Security; Emergency Preparedness and Response; Science and Technology in Support of Homeland Security; and Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection."

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

While the Marines are a part of the Department of the Navy, they are primarily a land-based fighting force, although they do possess some pretty significant aviation assets, as well. The Navy has land assets, too… but their primary focus is what’s going on out at sea. I’m giving you the mild version, both for your sake, and it’s not really my place to get too into the various details, as I was in a separate branch from both of them.

"text": "A scene from “The Stanford Prison Experiment,” a new movie inspired by the famous but widely misunderstood study. PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY SPENCER SHWETZ/SUNDANCE INSTITUTEOn the morning of August 17, 1971, nine young men in the Palo Alto area received visits from local police officers. While their neighbors looked on, the men were arrested for violating Penal Codes 211 and 459 (armed robbery and burglary), searched, handcuffed, and led into the rear of a waiting police car. The cars took them to a Palo Alto police station, where the men were booked, fingerprinted, moved to a holding cell, and blindfolded. Finally, they were transported to the Stanford County Prison—also known as the Stanford University psychology department. They were willing participants in the Stanford Prison Experiment, one of the most controversial studies in the history of social psychology. ( It’s the subject of a new film of the same name—a drama, not a documentary—starring Billy Crudup, of “Almost Famous,” as the lead investigator, Philip Zimbardo. It opens July 17th.) The study subjects, middle-class college students, had answered a questionnaire about their family backgrounds, physical- and mental-health histories, and social behavior, and had been deemed “normal”; a coin flip divided them into prisoners and guards. According to the lore that’s grown up around the experiment, the guards, with little to no instruction, began humiliating and psychologically abusing the prisoners within twenty-four hours of the study’s start."

S. state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories of Guam and the U. S. Virgin Islands. It, along with each state's, district's, commonwealth's or territory's Army National Guard component, makes up the National Guard of each state and the districts, commonwealths and territories as applicable. When Air National Guard units are used under the jurisdiction of the state governor they are fulfilling their militia role. However, if federalized by order of the President of the United States, ANG units become an active part of the United States Air Force. [ 3] They are jointly administered by the states and the National Guard Bureau, a joint bureau of the Army and Air Force that oversees the National Guard of the United States. Air National Guard units are organized and federally recognized federal military reserve forces in each of the fifty U. S. states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the territories of Guam and the U. S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia of the United States. Each state, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has a minimum of one ANG flying unit with either assigned aircraft or aircraft shared with a unit of the active duty Air Force or the Air Force Reserve under an \"\"Associate\"\" arrangement. The ANG of the territories of Guam and the Virgin Islands have no aircraft assigned and perform ground support functions. Air National Guard activities may be located on active duty air force bases, air reserve bases, naval air stations/joint reserve bases, or air national guard bases and stations which are either independent military facilities or collocated as tenants on civilian-controlled joint civil-military airports. ANG units typically operate under Title 32 USC."

In the more than two hundred years since the Cape Henry Lighthouse first shown out across the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, the Committees of the House of Representatives responsible for public works and infrastructure have changed names and grown in scope. What was once the Rivers and Harbors Committee is now the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. However, the mission remains essentially the same: provide a strong backbone upon which the nation’s people and commerce can flourish. The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee currently has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation: aviation, maritime and waterborne transportation, roads, bridges, mass transit, and railroads. But the Committee has jurisdiction over other aspects of our national infrastructure, such as clean water and waste water management, the transport of resources by pipeline, flood damage reduction, the economic development of depressed rural and urban areas, disaster preparedness and response, activities of the Army Corps of Engineers and the various missions of the Coast Guard. When combined, these areas of jurisdiction provide a comprehensive view of how communities across the United States are connected to one another, how infrastructure affects the growth and flow of commerce at home and abroad, and how an effective government can improve the lives of its citizens. The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, with 59 Members, is one of the largest committee in Congress. Its six subcommittees are: Aviation Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management Highways and Transit Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Water Resources and Environment Aviation Subcommittee The Subcommittee on Aviation has jurisdiction over all aspects of civil aviation, including safety, infrastructure, labor, and international issues. This jurisdiction includes all aspects of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) except for research activities, which are within the jurisdiction of the Science Committee."

Illegal immigrants who came up through Mexico being shipped quickly back to Mexico. National Guard troops arresting illegal immigrants across the West. After years of neglect, immigration enforcement is proving to be a fertile space for action — and for speculation, as draft reports leak out of Homeland Security, frightening immigrant rights groups and thrilling President Trump’s backers who have longed to see this sort of crackdown. The White House has shot down some of the reports, including a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press that envisioned 100,000 National Guard troops patrolling from Oregon to Louisiana, empowered to arrest illegal immigrants. “There is no effort at all to round up, to utilize the National Guard to round up illegal immigrants,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters last week, responding to the AP report. Still, Mr. Trump has gotten off the blocks quickly on immigration, issuing a series of executive orders that, if fully carried out, could fundamentally shift the risk calculus for Mexico and for the hundreds of thousands of Central American illegal immigrants who have streamed through that country en route to the U. S. in recent years. “We’ve taken historic action to secure the southern border. And I’ve ordered the construction of a great border wall, which will start very shortly."

"text": "What is an example of a sedimentary rock that is porous but not permeable?kgb answers » Science & Technology » What is an example of a sedimentary rock that is porous but not permeable? Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that can have high porosity, yet can be nearly impermeable due to the poorly interconnected voids. According to Geology.com, hydraulic properties are characteristics of a rock such as permeability and porosity that reflect its ability to hold and transmit fluids such as water, oil or natural gas. Shale has a very small particle size so the interstitial spaces are very small. In fact they are so small that oil, natural gas and water have difficulty moving through the rock. Shale can therefore serve as a cap rock for oil and natural gas traps and it also is an aquiclude that blocks or limits the flow of underground water. Although the interstitial spaces in a shale are very small, they can take up a significant volume of the rock. This allows the shale to hold significant amounts of water, gas or oil but not be able to effectively transmit them because of the low permeability. The oil and gas industry overcomes these limitations of shale by using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to create artificial porosity and permeability within the rock.

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

"text": "Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology Which of these rocks are impermeable? Which of these rock types are impermeable? Slate Volcanic rock - sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous Sandstone Limestone Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Permeability is a function of the amount of porespace in the rock and how interconnected the pore space is: granite and other intrusive igneous rocks have very interlocking grain structure and little pore space so low permeability. So do most metamorphic rocks which crystallise under high pressures so that any porespace is lost. In metamorphic rocks the alignment of the platy minerals serves to further destroy permeability. Of the sedimentary rocks, shale or slate is least permeable (and thus forms good seals to oil and gas reservoirs), and sandstones and limestones most permeable. Any rock with fractures in it is permeable. Volcanic rocks may be fragmental so may be quite permeable, but they also may have high porosity (lots of bubbles) but poor connectedness, so low permeablility.

Natural gas is often found dissolved in oil at the high pressures existing in a reservoir, and it can be present as a gas cap above the oil. In many instances it is the pressure of natural gas exerted upon the subterranean oil reservoir that provides the drive to force oil up to the surface. Such natural gas is known as associated gas; it is often considered to be the gaseous phase of the crude oil and usually contains some light liquids such as propane and butane. For this reason associated gas is sometimes called “wet gas.” There are also reservoirs that contain gas and no oil. This gas is termed nonassociated gas. Nonassociated gas, coming from reservoirs that are not connected with any known source of liquid petroleum, is “dry gas. ”The Troll A natural-gas production platform in the North Sea, 80 km (50 miles) northwest of Bergen, Norway."

It is famous for its colorful sedimentary rocks, which cover most of the region. These rocks, so dramatically exposed in the Grand Canyon and in other areas such as Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly, formed tens of millions of years ago when a vast ocean covered Arizona and much of the western United States. Sandstones, shales, and limestones formed along the periphery and underneath this ancient sea, accumulating to great thicknesses. Some of the more interesting rock units which were deposited during this invasion of the sea include the Coconino Sandstone, which formed from sand dunes giving it it's distinctive \"\"swirled\"\" look, and the Redwall Limestone, which forms many of the spectacular cliffs in the Grand Canyon. In many areas the great sedimentary beds of the Colorado Plateau have remained intact as flat-lying rock layers, undisturbed by faulting. However, in other places the horizontally-layered rocks have been warped and folded, often forming what are known as monoclines. These monoclines form great \"\"steps\"\" on the earth' surface. An excellent example is the East Kaibab Monocline, which bounds the high Kaibab Plateau on its east side. The lack of vegetative cover in many areas makes these great folds quite apparent."

It is formed by the consolidation of sediments that have been deposited and accumulated in layers. The sediments may correspond to material derived from various sites, generated by such processes as (a) the weathering or erosion of earlier rock formations, (b) the breakdown of biological materials (such as bones or shells), or (c) the precipitation of minerals from solution. This material is transported by the action of various agents, particularly water, glaciers, and wind.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Scientific Investigations Report 2008–5059Back to Table of Contents Estimated Depth to Ground Water and Configuration of the Water Table Estimates of depth-to-water and water-table elevation are affected by a number of variables, including the types, characteristics, timing, and errors associated with the data, as well as effects due to the interpolation method. Therefore, the maps of depth to water and water-table elevation are approximations; the values represent average conditions and have an associated uncertainty. Further, the actual water-table position will vary temporally as a result of short-term, seasonal, or long-term influences. Data files of depth to water, water-table elevation, and relative uncertainty of the water-table position are available for download as described in appendix B. Estimated Depth to Ground Water Depth to water ranges from 0 ft below the surface along major rivers and streams to a maximum estimated at more than 1,200 ft below land surface on the southern slopes of Larch Mountain ( pl. 1 ). The depth to water for nearly two-thirds of the study area analyzed was less than 100 ft. Areas where the depth to water exceeds 100 ft include the Tualatin Mountains, the Boring Hills, and the foothills of the Cascade Range. Depth to water also exceeds 100 ft in the terrace deposits throughout much of northern and eastern Portland area. Depth to water greater than 300 ft is limited to a few high elevation areas and include parts of the Tualatin Mountains, the slopes of Larch Mountain, the ridge extending southeast from Lake Oswego, and the summits of Rocky Butte, Mount Tabor, Mount Scott, and several other of the Boring Hills ( pl. 1 )."

"text": "\"Class Notes - Sedimentary Rocks Introduction Think of the following three S's when you think about sedimentary rocks. For every sedimentary rock there is a source area. The composition of the source area, the climate, and the geologic setting influence how the source material will respond as it is exposed to the Earth's reactive atmosphere. Processes (wind, water, ice) may serve to move the weathered debris (sediment) down slope until the sediment is deposited in some environment of accumulation or sink. By studying sedimentary rocks the geologist attempts to reconstruct the conditions under which the sediment was produced, transported and eventually deposited. Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks make up about 80% of the rocks exposed at the Earth's surface. The layer of sedimentary rocks is relatively thin (especially compared with the average thickness of the continental lithosphere) although there is good evidence that several tens of thousands of feet of sediment can accumulate in a basin. Sedimentary rocks are layered - stratified. If the individual units are greater than 1 cm thick they are called beds; units less than 1 cm are laminae. Each depositional unit represents the accumulation of material under conditions in which accumulation was greater than erosion."

The accumulation of fine clastic detritus generally requires a sedimentary environment of low mechanical energy (one in which wave and current actions are minimal), although some fine material…READ MOREShales are often found with layers of sandstone or limestone. They typically form in environments where muds, silts, and other sediments were deposited by gentle transporting currents and became compacted, as, for example, the deep-ocean floor, basins of shallow seas, river floodplains, and playas. Most shales occur in extensive sheets several metres thick, though some develop in lenticular formations. Shales characteristically consist of at least 30 percent clay minerals and substantial amounts of quartz. They also contain smaller quantities of carbonates, feldspars, iron oxides, fossils, and organic matter. Some organic-rich shales, called oil shales, contain kerogen (a chemically complex mixture of solid hydrocarbons derived from plant and animal matter) in large enough quantities to yield oil when subjected to intense heat. Shales typically have a laminated structure and are fissile; i.e., they exhibit a tendency to split into thin layers that are usually parallel to the bedding-plane surface."

Groundwater makes up about 1% of the water on Earth (most water is in oceans). But, groundwater makes up about 35 times the amount of water in lakes and streams. Groundwater occurs everywhere beneath the Earth's surface, but is usually restricted to depths less that about 750 meters. The volume of groundwater is a equivalent to a 55 meter thick layer spread out over the entire surface of the Earth. It is an important resource for potable water, irrigation, and industry. Because it is largely hidden from view, it is often forgotten and subject to contamination by careless humans.

Uranium: The source To understand the geology of radon - where it forms, how it forms, how it moves - we have to start with its ultimate source, uranium. All rocks contain some uranium, although most contain just a small amount - between 1 and 3 parts per million (ppm) of uranium. In general, the uranium content of a soil will be about the same as the uranium content of the rock from which the soil was derived. ( 157 kb) The bright-yellow mineral tyuyamunite is one of the most common uranium ore minerals.

Learning Objectives Determine the differences between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and describe how plants have developed ways to avoid self-pollination Key Takeaways Key Points Pollination, the transfer of pollen from flower-to-flower in angiosperms or cone -to-cone in gymnosperms, takes place through self-pollination or cross-pollination. Cross-pollination is the most advantageous of the two types of pollination since it provides species with greater genetic diversity. Maturation of pollen and ovaries at different times and heterostyly are methods plants have developed to avoid self-pollination. The placement of male and female flowers on separate plants or different parts of the plant are also barriers to self-pollination. Key Termspollination: the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma that is carried out by insects, birds, bats, and the windheterostyly: the condition of having unequal male (anther) and female (stigma) reproductive organscross-pollination: fertilization by the transfer of pollen from an anther of one plant to a stigma of anotherself-pollination: pollination of a flower by its own pollen in a flower that has both stamens and a pistil Pollination: An Introduction In angiosperms, pollination is defined as the placement or transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same or a different flower. In gymnosperms, pollination involves pollen transfer from the male cone to the female cone. Upon transfer, the pollen germinates to form the pollen tube and the sperm that fertilize the egg.

In gymnosperms, pollination involves pollen transfer from the male cone to the female cone. Upon transfer, the pollen germinates to form the pollen tube and the sperm for fertilizing the egg. Pollination has been well studied since the time of Gregor Mendel. Mendel successfully carried out self- as well as cross-pollination in garden peas while studying how characteristics were passed on from one generation to the next. Today’s crops are a result of plant breeding, which employs artificial selection to produce the present-day cultivars. A case in point is today’s corn, which is a result of years of breeding that started with its ancestor, teosinte. The teosinte that the ancient Mayans originally began cultivating had tiny seeds—vastly different from today’s relatively giant ears of corn. Interestingly, though these two plants appear to be entirely different, the genetic difference between them is miniscule. Pollination takes two forms: self-pollination and cross-pollination."

Gymnosperms are evergreen plants where the seeds are naked, as in without an ovary. In angiosperms the pollen from the anther or male part of the plant ir released and when it lands on the stigma it travels into the ovary to fertilize an ovule. The seeds will develop inside the ovary which in plants like tomatoes or apples will become the fruit surrounding the seeds. In gymnosperms cones can be male or female, when they develop fully the male cone release pollen that finds its way to a female cone and fertilizes the ovule. There is no ovary and no fruit, the seed will develop and be released. Was this helpful? Let the contributor know!Yes Just asked! See more How do you differentiatef ( x) = 2 x 4 ⋅ 6 3 x ...

John Runions Pollination in conifers DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1360-1385 (98)01337-5Summary Full Text Images References Comments Abstract Our understanding of pollination in conifers has advanced rapidly in recent years, but it still lags behind our knowledge of this process in angiosperms. In part this is because conifers are not considered to be high priority crops and, unlike many cultivated flowers, conifer seed cones are generally neither large nor colorful. The use of genetics to improve tree growth has primarily been through selection and asexual propagation rather than breeding, and because incompatibility is not thought to occur in conifer pollination systems, concern about pollination has primarily been with regard to seed production. Here we examine the ancestral wind-pollination mechanism in conifers and discuss how the process may have evolved to improve pollination success. Keywords:conifers, evolution, pollen, pollination, pollination drop, pollination mechanisms The seeds of gymnosperms are `naked', meaning that they are not completely enclosed within another structure, but are borne at the tip of a shoot, or on the surface of a bract or scale. The seeds often appear enclosed because in conifers (such as pine) they are contained in a seed cone. Unlike angiosperms, most of which are insect pollinated (entomophily), the majority of gymnosperms are wind pollinated (anemophily). Conifers are a small group of gymnosperms that dominate north temperate forests. All are wind pollinated, but an array of mechanisms have evolved to increase pollination success. For example, the integument tip of the ovule may be modified for pollen collection; pollination drops secreted from the ovule may aid in scavenging pollen; pollen may have `wings' (sacci); and seed cones at receptivity may have shapes and orientations that direct pollen to the receptive surfaces.1."

The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally “naked seeds”) are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity. Taxonomists recognize four distinct divisions of extant (nonextinct) gymnospermous plants— Coniferophyta, Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, and Gnetophyta —with 88 genera and more than 1,000 species distributed throughout the world.pinyon pine Pinecone and exposed seeds of the pinyon pine ( Pinus edulis ). Pinyon pines are gymnosperms and bear their edible seeds, known as pine nuts, in protective cones instead of fruit.

MPFGymnosperms were dominant in the Mesozoic Era (about 252.2 million to 66 million years ago), during which time some of the modern families originated ( Pinaceae, Araucariaceae, Cupressaceae ). Although since the Cretaceous Period (about 145 million to 66 million years ago) gymnosperms have been gradually displaced by the more recently evolved angiosperms, they are still successful in many parts of the world and occupy large areas of Earth ’s surface. Conifer forests, for example, cover vast regions of northern temperate lands, and gymnosperms frequently grow in more northerly latitudes than do angiosperms.

Flowers Flowers, the reproductive organs of flowering plants, are the most remarkable feature distinguishing them from other seed plants. Flowers, with their colour and their nectar, act to attract pollinators, which are mostly insects and birds. Whereas gymnosperms are almost entirely wind-pollinated, early flowers were probably all insect-pollinated. Some present-day flowering plants are wind-pollinated, but that is a secondary feature.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Botany Difference between angiosperms and gymnoperms? ? explain- include examples please! ! 1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: * in angiosperms seed is enclosed in sporophylls which form one or more carpels of the ovary * in gymnosperms seed is on the surface of the sporophyll Gymnosperms include plants whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovule, hence why they’re called “naked seeds” (Think of a pine cone). Gymnosperms normally have needles instead of broad leaves. These types of plants are sometimes referred to as “softwoods” and usually stay green throughout the entire year. Examples of those that stay green are spruce trees, firs and pines. It is important to remember that there are exceptions to this, but it is sometimes a good way to distinguish between those that are gymnosperms and those that aren’t. Gymnosperms are NOT flowering plants and commonly occur naturally here in the desert. Angiosperms include plants whose mature seeds are enclosed in an ovule (think of an apple). This group is sometimes referred to as “hardwood”."

"text": "Fruits Flowers and Seeds - Plant Biology Flowers, Fruits and Seeds Flowering plants grow in a wide variety of habitats and environments. They can go from germination of a seed to a mature plant producing new seeds in as little as a month or as long as 150 years. Plants that complete their life cycle in a single season are called annuals; while biennials take two years; and perennials may take several to many years to go from germinated seed to producing new seeds. There are two major classes of flowering plants, monocots and dicots—which have been mentioned previously in the leaves and stems tutorials. In order to keep these two classes separate in our minds, let’s take a moment and outline some of the differences between them. Differences between monocots and dicots Monocots: One seed leaf—cotyledon Flower components in threes or multiples of three Leaf veins are parallel No vascular or cork cambiums Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem One aperture (thin spot) in pollen grains Dicots: Two seed leaves—cotyledon Flower components in four or fives or multiples of fours or fives Leaf veins are branching and networked Vascular cambium present, usually cork cambium present Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring in the stem Three apertures in pollen grains Dicots account for slightly under three quarters of all flowering plants. Nearly all flowering trees and shrubs are dicots as well as many annual plants. Monocots include bulb producing plants, grasses, orchids and palms. They are primarily herbaceous, meaning no secondary woody growth. Structure of Flowers There are all sorts of flower shapes, sizes, colors and arrangements, however there are a few features that are central to all flowers regardless of their form."

Fleshy Simple Fruitsberry An indehiscent fruit derived from a superior ovary with a thin exocarp (skin) and fleshy mesocarp and endocarp, e.g., grape ( Vitis, Vitaceae), tomatoes & eggplant ( Solanum, Solanaceae), bell peppers & chili pepper ( Capsicum, Solanaceae), date ( Phoenix, Arecaceae), avocado ( Persea, Lauraceae), persimmon ( Diospyros, Ebenaceae), guava ( Psidium, Myrtaceae).false berry - berry-like fruits derived from an inferior ovary; the fruit is formed from the ovary plus the hypanthium of the floral tube that surrounds the ovary; also called an epigynous berry, e.g., blueberries & cranberries ( Vaccinium, Ericaceae), currants & gooseberries ( Ribes, Grossulariaceae), bananas ( Musa, Musaceae).pepo - a berry-like fruit with a thick, leathery or hard rind, derived from an interior ovary, e.g., cucumber ( Cucumis ), watermelon & other melons ( Citrullus ), pumpkin & squash ( Cucurbita) - all in the Cucurbitaceae.hesperidium - a septate berry with a thick skin; most of the edible fruit formed by glandular hairs, e.g., citrus fruits: orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit ( Citrus, Rutaceae).drupe A fleshy, 1-seeded fruit with a thin exocarp (skin), usually fleshy mesocarp, and a stony endocarp (the pit or stone), e.g., cherry, peach ( Prunus, Rosaceae).pyrene - a drupe-like fruit with several seeds, each surrounded by a stony endocarp, e.g., holly ( Ilex, Aquifoliaceae) and wild raisin ( Viburnum, Caprifoliaceae). Some texts define pyrene as the seed and stony endocarp of a drupe with 1 or more seeds, however, true drupes have just one seed.drupelet - a small drupe, one segment of an aggregate fruit, such as raspberries and blackberries ( Rubus, Rosaceae).1b. Dry Dehiscent Simple Fruitsfollicle A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from a 1-carpelled ovary that dehisces along one line (suture), e.g., milkweed ( Asclepias, Apocynaceae), peony ( Paeonia, Ranunculaceae).legume A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from a 1-carpelled ovary that dehisces along 2 lines, also called a pod; e.g., green bean ( Phaseolus ), peanuts ( Arachis ), peas ( Pisum ), black locust ( Robinia ), vetch ( Vicia) - all Fabaceae. Exception: an indehiscent pod is found in black medic ( Medicago, Fabaceae).loment A legume, derived form a 1-carpelled ovary, that is contracted between seeds and which separates transversely into 1-seeded segments (articles) at maturity, e.g., sweet vetch ( Hedysarum, Fabaceae), tick-clover ( Desmodium, Fabaceae).silique A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from 2 or more carpels that dehisce along 2 sutures, with the carpel walls (valves) separated by a translucent septum, which is rimmed by a placental replum. The carpel walls are dehiscent, leaving only the persistent septum and replum after seeds are shed; siliques are typically at least twice as long as broad. e.g., mustard ( Brassica ), rockcress ( Arabis) - both Brassicaceae. Siliques are characteristic of the Brassicaceae.silicle A short silique, about as broad as long (some sources say less than twice as long as broad), e.g., shepherd's purse ( Capsella ), peppergrass ( Lepidium) - both Brassicaceae.capsule A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from an ovary with 2 or > carpels (compound ovary). There are many different types of capsules, described according to how they dehisce.acrocidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces through longitudinal slits at the terminal end of the fruit, e.g. bladdernut ( Staphylea, Staphyleaceae).basicidial capsule - a capsule that dehisces through longitudinal slits at the base of the capsule, e.g. Dutchman's pipe ( Aristolochia, Aristolochiaceae).circumscissle capsule (or pyxis) - a capsule that dehisces along the circumference of the fruit, e.g., plantain ( Plantago, Plantaginaceae), Brazil nuts ( Bertholletia, Lecythidaceae).denticidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces apically, forming 5-10 teeth, e.g., chickweed ( Cerastium, Caryophyllaceae).loculicidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces longitudinally through the cavity of the locules, e.g., evening primrose ( Epilobium, Onagraceae), most orchids (Orchidaceae), horse chestnut ( Aesculus, Sapindaceae), crepe myrtle ( Lagerstroemia, Lythraceae).operculate capsule - a capsule that dehisces through pores that are covered by a flap or lid, called an operculum, e.g., poppy ( Papaver, Papaveraceae).poricidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces through open pores, e.g., Venus's looking-glass ( Triodanis, Campanulaceae).septicidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces longitudinally through the fused sides (septa) of the carpels, e.g., lily ( Lilium, Liliaceae), willow ( Salix, Salicaceae), cotton ( Gossypium, Malvaceae).valvular capsule - a capsule that dehisces into segments (valves) that separate from the side walls (septa) of the carpels; also called a septifragal capsule, e.g. morning glory ( Ipomaea, Convolvulaceae).1c."

Heterospory, highly reduced gametophytes, ovules, pollen, seeds Explain the difference between homospory and heterospory. Homospory characterizes plants that produce spores that are all the same size (as in bryophytes and most seedless vascular plants). Homospory can result in bisexual gametophytes (as in ferns, pg 611) or unisexual gametophytes (male or female) as in mosses - see pg 607 in the text. Heterospory characterizes plants that produce spores of different sizes: megaspores and microspores which give rise to separate female and male gametophytes, respectively. Contrast sperm delivery in seedless plants with sperm delivery in seed plants. Sperm delivery in seedless plants is dependent upon the presence of water. The sperm of these organisms have flagella and require a pool in which to swim in order to get to the egg, which is usually not too far away."

Understanding the Possible Causes of Seizures -- An Overview There can be number of reasons why someone has a seizure. In fact, anything that disturbs the normal pattern of nerve cell activity in the brain -- from illness to abnormal brain development -- can cause seizures. Some possible causes of seizures may include: Fever Chemical imbalance Medical conditions Trauma Developmental problems Poisoning. In about half of all seizure cases, the cause is not known.

It is important that these disorders are considered in the evaluation of paroxysmal events as misdiagnosis rates in epilepsy are high throughout the world. History remains the key to a correct diagnosis with video recordings very helpful. There are some conditions in which epileptic and non-epileptic events can co-exist. SYNCOPE AND ANOXIC SEIZURESSyncope (fainting) describes the transient loss of consciousness, which occurs when there is an abrupt reduction in blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. An anoxic seizure is the collapse, stiffening with or without convulsive movements that occurs as a result of the lack of cortical control of the brainstem. The movements are not due to epileptic discharges. Syncope is common, with the neurally mediated syncopes (vaso-vagal syncope, reflex anoxic seizures, breath holding attacks) having a lifetime prevalence of 40%. Vasovagal syncope Vasovagal syncope affects all ages from infancy to old age though younger children may present initially with reflex anoxic seizures. A detailed history will usually identify triggers including prolonged standing, dehydration, change in posture and emotional upset."

"text": "Gabapentin For Dogs: Potential Uses In Canines Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email57Gabapentin is a drug that was formally approved in 1993 for the treatment of epilepsy. It is still commonly used as an anticonvulsant drug, generally as an adjunct. Roughly a decade later, the drug was approved for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It is considered to function via modulation of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. The drug has a relatively vague mechanism of action that produces anticonvulsant, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Some have compared the drug to various benzodiazepines like Valium (Diazepam) in that it reduces physiological arousal. It is also frequently prescribed as an off-label treatment for restless leg syndrome, hot flashes, and refractory cases of anxiety. Due to the fact that many dogs (canines) can experience epilepsy and neuropathic pain, Gabapentin has been researched as a potential pharmaceutical treatment. It is believed to elicit similar effects in canines as humans, has a high bioavailability, and appears to be well-tolerated. Just because a drug is well-tolerated does not make it automatically effective."

"text": "\"Roles of the cation–chloride cotransporters in neurological disease Kristopher T Kahle*, Kevin J Staley, Brian V Nahed, Gerardo Gamba, Steven C Hebert, Richard P Lifton and David B Mount About the authors Correspondence *Department of Neurosurgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, 55 Fruit Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA Email [email protected] Summary In the nervous system, the intracellular chloride concentration ( [Cl -] i) determines the strength and polarity of -aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission. [ Cl -] i is determined, in part, by the activities of the SLC12 cation–chloride cotransporters (CCCs). These transporters include the Na–K–2Cl cotransporter NKCC1, which mediates chloride influx, and various K–Cl cotransporters—such as KCC2 and KCC3—that extrude chloride. A precise balance between NKCC1 and KCC2 activity is necessary for inhibitory GABAergic signaling in the adult CNS, and for excitatory GABAergic signaling in the developing CNS and the adult PNS. Altered chloride homeostasis, resulting from mutation or dysfunction of NKCC1 and/or KCC2, causes neuronal hypoexcitability or hyperexcitability; such derangements have been implicated in the pathogenesis of seizures and neuropathic pain. [ Cl -] i is also regulated to maintain normal cell volume. Dysfunction of NKCC1 or of swelling-activated K–Cl cotransporters has been implicated in the damaging secondary effects of cerebral edema after ischemic and traumatic brain injury, as well as in swelling-related neurodegeneration. CCCs represent attractive therapeutic targets in neurological disorders the pathogenesis of which involves deranged cellular chloride homoestasis. Review criteria Pub Med (using Entrez) and MEDLINE searches were undertaken to identify articles published up to February 2008. Searches used keywords including \"\"cation–chloride cotransporters\"\", \"\"NKCC1\"\", \"\"KCC1\"\", \"\"KCC2\"\", \"\"KCC3\"\", \"\"KCC4\"\", \"\"Na–K–2Cl cotransporter\"\", \"\"K–Cl cotransporter\"\", \"\"chloride transport\"\", \"\"cell volume homeostasis\"\", and \"\" -aminobutyric acid (GABA)\"\"."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Neurology Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Updated: Jun 15, 2017Author: Selim R Benbadis, MD; Chief Editor: Helmi L Lutsep, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Background Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), or pseudoseizures are paroxysmal episodes that resemble and are often misdiagnosed as epileptic seizures; however, PNES are psychological (i.e., emotional, stress-related) in origin. Paroxysmal nonepileptic episodes can be either organic or psychogenic. Syncope, migraine, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are examples of organic nonepileptic paroxysmal symptoms. This article covers only PNES. The terminology on the topic has been variable and, at times, confusing. Various terms are used, including pseudoseizures, nonepileptic seizures, nonepileptic events, and psychogenic seizures. PNES has been the preferred term in the literature, but in practice, the term \"\"seizures\"\" is confusing to patients and families, so that it is probably best to replace it with more general terms that so not imply epilepsy, such as \"\"attacks\"\" or \"\"events.\"\" [ 1]PNES are common at epilepsy centers, where they are seen in 20-30% of patients referred for refractory seizures. PNES are probably also common in the general population, with an estimated prevalence of 2-33 cases per 100,000 population, which makes PNES nearly as prevalent as multiple sclerosis or trigeminal neuralgia. Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-5)By definition, PNES is a psychiatric disorder; more specifically it is a conversion disorder, which falls under the diagnostic category of somatic symptom disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5 )."

"text": "Texas Evictionby Free Advice staff Texas landlords cannot evict tenants without following Texas law. This means that removing doors or windows in an effort to force tenants to move is not okay. Some of the steps in the legal process of evicting a tenant, however, can be modified by the lease, so tenants should always read leases carefully. To evict a tenant, a Texas landlord must first give the tenant notice. The landlord may then file suit for eviction. Texas Termination Notices Landlords in Texas interested in evicting a tenant must first give the tenant a notice to vacate. The landlord must have a reason to terminate the lease, such as for non-payment of rent or breach of the rental contract in another way. If you have a month-to-month agreement, either party (landlord or tenant) may end the tenancy with 30 days notice. If you have a lease agreement, and the landlord wishes to end a tenancy earlier, he or she may do so by serving the tenant with an appropriate notice. In Texas, the landlord must first give the tenant notice to vacate, and must allow the tenant three days (unless otherwise specified in the lease but never less than 24 hours) to vacate the premises."

"text": "Rare is the tenant who, having asserted her rights, has not been rewarded with a landlord payback—whether in the form of petty harassment, a rent hike, or an all-out termination and eviction. The good news for most of you is that landlord retaliation is illegal in most states—landlords who engage in it can be stopped and sued, sometimes for big bucks. The bad news is that asserting your rights can be a hassle, involving court fights and lots of time. As much as it’s possible, you’ll do far better to choose your landlord wisely in the first place.

Here's what you can do about it. State Laws Against Landlord Retaliation In almost all states, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against you for acting within your legal rights--for example, if you have:complained to a building inspector, fire department, health inspector, or other governmental agency about unsafe or illegal living conditions exercised your First Amendment rights to assemble and present your views collectively, as in joining or organizing a tenant union, or availed yourself of self-help strategies allowed by your state or local law, such as deducting money from the rent and using it to fix defects in the rental unit, or even withholding the rent entirely for an uninhabitable unit. It’s important to understand that the antiretaliation laws will shield you only for those activities that are mentioned in your state’s statute. Not all states protect tenants for all three types of actions mentioned above. To see what's covered, see your State Laws Prohibiting Landlord Retaliation."

A tenant has many defenses to fight an improper eviction. In San Francisco, if your rental unit is covered by the eviction protections in the San Francisco Rent Ordinance you may only be evicted from your home for one of fifteen (15) “just causes” under Ordinance Section 37.9 (a). However, if a tenant lives in the same rental unit as the landlord, the landlord may evict the tenant without a just cause. Similarly, if a “master tenant” follows very strict procedures prior to the commencement of a sub-tenancy, the master tenant may also be able to evict the sub-tenant without a just cause. The fifteen (15) just causes under the San Francisco Rent Ordinance are: Failure to pay rent;Breach of lease;Nuisance;Using the rental unit for an illegal purpose;Refusing to sign a new lease that is materially the same as previous lease;Refusing landlord access to the rental unit after reasonable notice;Unauthorized sub-letter retaining possession of the rental unit after expiration of the lawful tenancy;Owner Move-In;Condominium conversion;Landlord seeks to demolish unit;Temporary capital improvements eviction;Temporary substantial rehabilitation eviction;Landlord seeks to withdraw unit from rental market (Ellis Act);Temporary lead remediation eviction;Landlord seeks to create new city-approved affordable or mixed-use housing. Just Causes Nos. 1-7 are commonly known as “fault” evictions – the tenant is accused of acting inappropriately and therefore the tenant’s behavior forms a justification for eviction. In other words it’s the tenant’s own “fault” that he was evicted. Just Causes Nos."

Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment: The right of a tenant to possess and use real property in the manner that was originally intended at the time of the lease and to be free of nuisances that would interfere with those uses. Constructive Eviction: The legal term for a situation in which a landlord’s actions or inactions causes a tenant’s possession and use of leased premises to be so unpleasant or inconvenient that the tenant is forced to leave the premises. Implied Warranty of Habitability: An implied term in every residential lease that some jurisdictions attach so that a landlord must, under an implied term of every lease, assure that the leased premises are fit for living in. Delivery of Possession The landlord’s duty to deliver possession of the property to the tenant is, of course, the essence of any leasehold, because the leasehold itself is nothing more than possession of the property for a certain period of time. Therefore it is clear that, as a fundamental duty inherent in the leasehold, the landlord must give the tenant to legal right to possess the property. The question becomes whether the landlord has to give the tenant not only the right to possess the property but actual possession as well. In other words, does the landlord have to make sure that the tenant can actually physically take possession of the property or must he simply allow the tenant to legally take possession? For example: George leases his ranch in Texas to Colin. When Colin comes to take possession, however, he finds that Dick is occupying the land illegally."

Minnesota statutes set forth all the rules landlords and tenants must follow when renting a property, including when and how to evict a tenant. Unlike most states, Minnesota does not require a landlord to provide notice to a tenant before filing an eviction lawsuit with the court. As soon as the tenant commits an act that can lead to eviction, the landlord can file the eviction lawsuit. The most common reasons for eviction are failing to pay rent or violating the lease. Eviction for Nonpayment of Rent The most common reason for eviction in Minnesota is a tenant failing to pay rent. As soon as rent is late, the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit with the court."

This may involve changing the locks on the rental unit, shutting off utility services, removing the tenant’s personal belongings or even verbally threatening the tenant with physical harm if he or she does not immediately leave.

Nevada's Eviction Process The Nevada Revised Statutes govern the Nevada landlord-tenant relationship and the eviction process. Legal cites to the relevant sections of state statutes are noted below. A landlord may evict a tenant, through either a formal eviction process or a summary eviction process, for not paying rent or for violating part of the lease or rental agreement. The eviction notice requirements for lease violations are slightly different from the eviction notice requirements for nonpayment of rent. A landlord would use the formal eviction process when suing for both possession of the rental unit and money damages in the same lawsuit. The summary eviction process is used only for gaining possession of the rental unit. The landlord can still sue for money damages, just in a separate lawsuit."

In most situations, the eviction process begins with a notice. If the landlord attempts to have you removed from the unit without going through the legal process, or if you are served with an eviction lawsuit without first being served with a notice, you may contact our offices for legal advice. There are several types of notices your landlord can give (serve) you. For each notice, once the specified time expires (3-days, 30-days, 60-days or 90-days), if you have not complied with the notice then the landlord can sue you in Court with an eviction lawsuit, called an Unlawful Detainer . Different rules may apply if you are in subsidize housing (Section 8 Voucher) or live in a mobile home park. Here are some common examples:3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit Landlords use this notice when the tenant is behind on the rent. The notice must be in writing and include the following: The full name of the tenant (s), their address and date of the notice;A demand for no more than the amount of rent the tenant owes and it must be served after the stated amount becomes due;A clear statement that the tenant has 3 days to EITHER pay all the rent that is currently due or Quit (meaning get out of the rental unit); and The name, telephone number and address of the person to whom the rent payment shall be made. If payment will be made in person, the notice must also include the hours of availability that payment may be received.3-Day Notice to Perform Covenants or Quit Landlords use this notice when the tenant is breaking the lease/rental agreement and the problem can be fixed."

Renters and property owners have clearly assigned rights and responsibilities according to Kentucky landlord tenant law. This guide will teach you about some of your responsibilities under KY landlord tenant law and what you can do if your landlord or tenant fails to uphold his or her end of the lease agreement. Landlord Responsibilities All landlords are required by Kentucky landlord tenant law to provide a habitable dwelling for tenants. Habitability requirements according to KY landlord tenant law include safe, clean hot and cold drinking water, functional plumbing and sanitary systems, working electricity, and functional heating systems. All units must also be in good repair, with functional appliances, in order to meet Kentucky landlord tenant law habitability standards. Landlords must also allow their tenants “quiet enjoyment” of their property according to KY landlord tenant law. If a landlord wishes to enter a tenant's dwelling, they must provide reasonable notice first. Kentucky landlord tenant law only allows a landlord to enter a tenant's residence for inspections or to make needed repairs. If an emergency repair is needed and giving standard notice would result in additional damage to the property or danger to tenants, KY landlord tenant law does allow a landlord to make the emergency repair without notice."

Since rent regulation laws were passed during the Second World War, there’s never been a time when your tenancy rights have been more dangerously threatened with extinction. Housing Court’s enforcement of tenants’ rights is at a low ebb, whereas there are increasing instances of landlords manipulating their way around rent regulation laws, and further eroding tenant protections. Mc Adams Law has noticed a disturbing recent trend: tenants are victimized by landlords at an alarmingly accelerated rate. Powerful market forces in the form of skyrocketing rents and astounding property prices fuel landlord greed. The Housing Court system has always been stacked in favor of landlords in many ways.

Freelance writer No matter how careful a landlord you are in screening and choosing tenants, it is likely that at some point you will find yourself needing to know how to evict a tenant. Before you begin a legal proceeding, try talking with your tenant to resolve the problem. If that doesn’t work, you will need to move on to formal eviction proceedings. Before You Evict The first thing you need to know about evicting a tenant is that each state has a legal process you must follow to achieve tenant eviction. You cannot take matters into your own hands and simply lock a tenant out, remove their belongings, turn off the heat or water, or use other self-help measures. To be able to evict your tenant for cause, you need a good reason, such as a failure to pay rent, serious damage by the tenant to the property, use of the property for illegal reason by the tenant, or noise or health hazards caused by the tenant. Your landlord rights allow you to evict a tenant who does any of these things. You will need to be able to provide proof of whatever your reason is, so be sure to document everything. Starting the Process The legal process begins with an eviction notice or notice to quit."

It is surprising to find out that may landlords are unsure how to proceed if they have a problem tenant. Many landlords try to evict a tenant themselves and are frustrated by the legal process. Listed below are some of the questions most commonly asked by landlords. The following answers are an attempt to provide landlord or prospective landlords with the tools necessary to become a more effective manager. Question: My tenant is not paying his rent. Can I just change the locks and throw him out? Answer: No. A 1984 Court of Appeals decision establishes that a landlord may only remove a tenant from rental premises through a court proceeding. An eviction action (called a summary proceeding) is designed to provide the landlord with a quick method for regaining possession of the property while still protecting the rights of the tenant. “"

Eviction: It’s Just Business Being a great landlord doesn’t mean that you’re immune from having bad tenants. Yes, tenant screening is important, but even under the best of circumstances, it’s not unusual for a well-intentioned tenant to struggle to pay rent from time to time. So even if you have a “good” relationship with your tenant, sometimes they just won’t be able to pay you. When that’s the case, you simply can’t let them stay free of charge, especially when there are others who will have no trouble paying you consistently. Eviction seems harsh, but it’s the business of rental properties. If a tenant can’t pay, you have to remove them from your property. Sometimes, it’s as simple as asking them to leave. Other times, you will have to go through the formal eviction process. Regardless of the situation, before starting the eviction process, you need to know the proper rules and procedures."

"text": "\"SEP Contribution Limit And Maximum Benefit Depends on Taxable Income Warning: These pages are not intended as professional advice. They are presented \"\"as is\"\", reader beware!The whole point of official retirement savings plans is tax deferral. There's nothing magical about what happens to the money in Traditional IRAs (Individual Retirement Account) or SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) IRAs, there's no special retirement insurance (though the money may be protected in some bankruptcy cases), it's simply tax deferred. If you need the money before retirement, with a few narrow exceptions, you pay a 10% penalty on the money you take out, plus you pay regular income tax on that money in the year you take the early distribution. For self employed sole proprietors, the only retirement investment you can make that qualifies as a business tax deduction is to invest in building your business for the ongoing income or eventual sale. Otherwise, if you work for yourself, your retirement savings cannot be a business expense, they are only useful as a deduction against your Federal income tax. In the higher tax brackets, especially 25% or more, a tax deduction for your IRA or SEP contribution is far more meaningful than if you are in the lower tax brackets. For example, a self employed person in the 10% tax bracket who contributes $1,000 to a tax deferred retirement savings account saves all of $100 on his tax bill. A self employed person in the 25% bracket who contributes $1,000 to an IRA or SEP saves $250 on his tax bill, and an entrepreneur in the 35% tax bracket who contributes $1,000 to a retirement account saves $350 in taxes. Another way to look at it is, it costs the low earning self employed person $900 to put $1,000 aside for retirement, while it only costs the high income sole proprietor $650 to put $1,000 aside for retirement."

If you’re self-employed and are using a SEP, your deadline is determined by your company’s tax filing deadline (e.g. s-corp, partnership, or sole prop). So, if you were an s-corp or partnership in 2016, then your filing deadline was March 15th, 2017. II you are a sole prop, then the deadline is April 18th, 2017. If you extended your company return, that extension will also apply to your SEP IRA contributions. The table below breaks down the deadlines and extension options for Traditional, Roth and SEP IRAs.

"text": "Are you a self-employed business owner that is looking for a cost effective to lower your taxes and help you save for retirement? If that fits your profile then opening a SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) IRA might be a good retirement account to start for your business. When I was researching what would be the best retirement plan to set up for myself when I first became self-employed, I narrowed it down between the SEP IRA and the Solo 401k . Both allowed very favorable contribution limits, but the administrative costs and ease of setting up made the SEP IRA the easy answer. If you are considering opening a SEP IRA for your business, here's what you need to know about the SEP IRA rules and contribution limits and how easy it is to open one.

Share IRAs Answers Sort By: Most Helpful April 2017+ Follow Guettlein, Victor Arvada, COwww.wealthsource.com/advisors/victor-guettlein/82 % of people found this answer helpful A SEP is an excellent retirement saving plan for self-employed individuals and small companies that allows your business to contribute and deduct up to 25% of your (and qualifying employees) salary to an IRA account. The maximum contribution to a SEP IRA for 2017 is $54,000. Contributions are tax deductible, grow tax deferred, and are finally taxed as withdrawn from the account. A traditional IRA and a Roth IRA are retirement saving accounts that allow individuals to save $5,500 per year, or $6,500 per year over age 50. Contributions to a traditional IRA are tax deductible subject to income limitations. Please consult with your tax preparer for specifics. A Roth IRA is not tax deductible, but grows tax free, and withdrawals in retirement are tax free. A Roth IRA is an excellent saving choice for individuals that have a long time until retirement. Eligibility to contribute to a Roth IRA is also subject to income limitations."

The IRS allows you to contribute to the previous year up until the normal federal tax deadline. Typically, this falls on April 15th, and this is the case in both 2016 and 2017 for most types of IRA accounts. See the information below for each account type. This means that for your 2015 IRA contributions, you may contribute at anytime during 2015, and up until April 15th, 2016. If you make your contribution after January 1st but before the April 15th deadline, you need to designate the contribution year that you intend to target. For most tax filers, this can be calculated using the worksheets in either IRS Form 1040 or Form 1040a. For 2016 contributions, the federal deadline is set at April 15, 2017.

"text": "\"After many negotiations between the House and the Senate, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) was signed into law by President Bush on August 17, 2006. PPA brings about the most significant changes that have been made for pension plans since the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). While the most significant changes under PPA have been made to pension plans, this article will discuss some of the key provisions that apply to defined-contribution plans as well as individual retirement accounts (IRAs). EGTRRA Made Permanent: Effective Immediately When the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) was signed into law on June 7, 2001, it created some comprehensive changes to retirement plan rules, including increasing contribution limits for employer plans and IRAs, relaxing the portability rules for employer plans and IRAs and providing additional tax benefits for small business owners that adopt retirement plans for their businesses. However, under EGTRRA, these provisions were scheduled to sunset for tax years beginning 2011. PPA made these provisions permanent. The following describes some of these provisions: Increases contribution limits to IRAs: Prior to EGTRRA, contributions to IRAs were limited to $2,000 and had been so for many years. EGTRRA provided new IRA limits, which increase in incremental amounts from $3,000 in 2002 to $5,000 in 2008, with the potential for cost of living increases (COLAs) for 2009 and beyond. Permits individuals who are at least 50 years old to make catch-up contributions: Prior to EGTRRA, there were no opportunities to make catch-up contributions to defined-contribution plans and IRAs. Under EGTRRA, catch-up contributions were allowed, beginning at $500 in 2002 and increasing in $500 increments to $2,000 by 2006 for IRAs."

"text": "If you are self-employed or own a small business, you can lower your tax liability while putting money away for the future. When you open and fund an SEP-IRA, you can take a tax deduction for the amount you put in, lowering your taxable income and your tax liability. But since the amount you can put into an SEP is determined by your business or self-employment income, it is best to wait until all of the figures are in before finalizing your yearly contribution. You must make your SEP contribution by the tax filing deadline. Tax Deadline The rules governing the SEP-IRA are similar to the guidelines for other types of IRA accounts, including deductible IRAs and Roth IRAs. This means that you do not have to finalize your SEP-IRA contribution by the end of the calendar year. In fact, you might not have all the information necessary to calculate your maximum SEP-IRA, since the amount you can contribute depends on the amount of income you had for the year. You can wait until the April 15 tax filing deadline to make your SEP-IRA contribution for the prior year. Filing Extensions If your business needs to file an extension, that extension also gives you extra time to make your SEP-IRA contribution. If you file a six month extension by the April 15 deadline, you have until October 15 to make your annual SEP-IRA contribution."

They offer higher contribution limits than most retirement plans–and those maximums are even higher in 2013. If you are doing your taxes in 2013, take a look at SEP IRA limits for tax year 2012. SEP IRA Contribution Limits 2013You can contribute up to 25% of your total salary or 20% of your adjusted annual income to a SEP IRA, up to a limit of $51,000 in tax year 2013. This is almost twice the limit for 401 (k) investors. In 2013, you can put up to $17,500 into a 401 (k) or 403 (b). Put in an extra $5,500 if you are age 50 or older and qualify for a catch-up contribution. There are no catch-up contributions with a SEP IRA. Still the SEP offers a lot more retirement savings potential. But even if you don't need to put away that much, a SEP IRA could be a great plan for you."

The number of calories in sesame chicken depends on whether you're eating it at a restaurant, enjoying a frozen dinner or making your own. Knowing the ingredients and how it is prepared can help guide you in choosing a low-calorie version of sesame chicken. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load A Dinner Out A serving of the average sesame chicken at a sit-down Chinese restaurant contains about 790 calories, many of those from as much as 36 grams of fat. At an average fast-food Chinese restaurant, a small order of sesame chicken can contain about 890 calories, much of it from as much as 23 grams of fat. If you order your sesame chicken steamed instead of fried, you cut the calorie content from 890 to 780 and the grams of fat from 23 to 15 grams of fat. A Quick Frozen Meal The number of calories in a frozen sesame chicken meal tends to be less than a restaurant order because portion sizes are typically much smaller and not prepared in as much oil. The average sesame chicken frozen dinner contains between 330 and 340 calories. Because the serving sizes are smaller, they also contain less fat with between 5 and 9 grams per serving. Making Your Own Preparing your own sesame chicken meal at home allows you to decide what ingredients to include and how to prepare it, which can help you consume fewer calories and less fat."

You can obtain fat in your diet through several sources, but oils of plant origin are generally healthier than animal-source fats because of their decreased saturated-fat content. Sesame oil, which is extracted from sesame seeds, is a healthy source of fat, with a small amount of saturated fat and large amounts of heart-healthy fat.

One tablespoon contains 120 calories, or approximately 6 percent of the total calories needed daily for someone who consumes 2,000 calories. All other oils contain the same number of calories per tablespoon, as they are also composed only of fat. Use sesame oil in moderation to keep your intake under control.

When the body does not take in enough fiber, pouches or pockets form in the colon creating a very painful situation. Without the fiber intake, pressure builds in the colon wall and after a period of time, the weak points balloon up creating diverticuli. Diverticulitis results when the pockets become infected. What Foods Should You Avoid If You Have Diverticulitis?1. Nuts and Seeds If you have diverticulitis, there are certain foods you should not eat. Any foods that are hard to break down can bring on another attack of diverticulitis by aggravating the intestinal track. When it comes to diverticulitis, foods to avoid include corn, popcorn, nuts, sesame seeds, etc.2. Grain Products When it comes to grains, you may want to completely refrain. There are residues from the grain that could irritate the stomach."

These pouches are most common in the lower part of your colon, called the sigmoid colon. One pouch is called a diverticulum. Multiple pouches are called diverticula. Most people with diverticulosis do not have symptoms or problems. When diverticulosis does cause symptoms or problems, doctors call this diverticular disease. For some people, diverticulosis causes symptoms such as changes in bowel movement patterns or pain in the abdomen. Diverticulosis may also cause problems such as diverticular bleeding and diverticulitis. Diverticular bleeding Diverticular bleeding occurs when a small blood vessel within the wall of a pouch, or diverticulum, bursts. Diverticulitis Diverticulitis occurs when you have diverticulosis and one or a few of the pouches in the wall of your colon become inflamed."

Consuming low-fiber foods leads to the formation of small pouches (diverticula) in the innermost lining of your colon. Sometimes, these pouches get inflamed and infected, causing serious pain and bleeding – a condition known as diverticulitis. According to the American Gastroenterological Association, about 4% of people with diverticulosis are prone to develop diverticulitis, and about 15% of them can suffer from other complications such as fistula, abscess, perforation, etc. ( 1 ). Hence, doctors highly recommend eating fiber-rich foods for those suffering from diverticulitis. In this article, you will find out how to incorporate high-fiber foods into your daily diet without agitating your colon, foods to avoid, exercises, and much more. Read on!Diverticulitis And Fiber-Rich Foods – How It Helps Image: i Stock Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested by humans. Fiber is of two types, soluble and insoluble, depending on its ability to dissolve in liquids. Both soluble and insoluble fiber are of great importance as they help add bulk to the stool, slow down the transition time of digested foods in the colon, help in the absorption of nutrients, suppress appetite, and help good gut bacteria to flourish, which improves digestion ( 2) ( 3 )."

These small, oval, flat seeds come from the sesame plant, a flowering plant that belongs to the Pedaliaceae family. The sesame seed pods naturally burst open when they mature – a distinctive feature from which the famous phrase “open sesame” of Arabian Nights popularity comes from. Compared to other seeds, black sesame seeds (scientific name: Sesamun indicum) are known to have the most oil content. The oil is known to stay fresh longer; it does not easily turn rancid. The seeds have a subtle nutty flavor which becomes a little more pronounced when you roast the seeds. People like the seeds for their nutty taste, as well as for their delicate, almost imperceptible crunch. Sesame seeds come in several varieties – brown, yellow, black, and white. Black sesame seeds have a more intense flavor and aroma than the others. They are also the preferred variety for medicinal use."

Unrefined sesame oil, which is the least processed type, contains the purest form of sesame seed's phytochemicals that confer health benefits. The plant compounds' vulnerability to environmental factors that cause rancidity is relatively high. The removal of plant compounds from cooking oil is called refining. It improves the temperature tolerance of sesame oil and reduces the probability of rancidity, but it also removes nutrients. Factors That Influence Rancidity The storage of sesame oil protects its integrity more than other factors.

"text": "Causes of a Ruptured Colonby ADAM CLOE PH. D./M. D. Aug. 14, 2017Fecal Pressure According to the website Organized Wisdom, when fecal matter becomes caught in the colon (a condition known as fecal impaction), the backup that occurs exerts pressure on the walls of the organ. When this pressure becomes too great, it can stretch the colon and ultimately cause small tears or ruptures. Fecal impaction can be caused by extreme constipation or by certain conditions that can cause damage to the nerves around the colon. These diseases include Hirschprung's disease (which is a congenital problem that affects infants), Chagas disease (caused by the parasite trypansoma cruzi) and megacolon (which can be caused by infection from the bacteria C. dificile). Colon Cancer Another condition that can cause rupture of the colon is colon cancer. Colon cancer occurs when small growths (known as polyps) begin to divide more rapidly than normal. The tumors then can cause the rupture of the organ by causing swelling and pressure, which can also lead to fecal impaction. In addition, because colon tumors grow abnormally, they can weaken the its walls and cause detachment of the colon from some of the supportive tissue that helps strengthen its walls. Other Causes One cause of a ruptured colon is a condition known as diverticulosis."

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Diet When your diverticulitis flares up, you can help minimize the symptoms by eating a high-fiber diet, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse. High-fiber foods such as whole-wheat bread and pasta, oat bran, brown rice, split peas, lima beans, fruit with the skin and cooked vegetables including artichoke, peas, turnip greens, broccoli and sweet corn can help relieve symptoms of diverticulitis. These types of foods do not break down as low-fiber foods do, which means they can easily pass through your digestive tract, giving your colon a break while symptoms are at their peak.

The polyp is examined to find out if it is the kind that could become cancer. Initial treatment If adenomatous polyps are found during an exam with flexible sigmoidoscopy, a colonoscopy will be done to look for and remove any polyps in the rest of the colon. The bigger a colon polyp is, especially if it is larger than 1 cm (0.4 in. ), the more likely it is that the polyp will be adenomatous or contain cancer cells. If only hyperplastic polyps are found during your flexible sigmoidoscopy, you likely do not need to have a colonoscopy. These polyps do not become cancerous. In this case you can continue your regular screenings, unless you are at an increased risk for colon cancer because of a family history of colon cancer or an inherited polyp syndrome.

"text": "A pedunculated polyp is a skin growth that attaches to the body via an elongated stalk. This type of growth is most commonly found in the colon or uterus, but it can also occur elsewhere in the body. Pedunculated polyps contrast with sessile polyps, which are skin growths that lack the stem or stalk that qualifies a polyp as pedunculated. Most polyps are harmless, but some can become cancerous over time so they are usually removed once they are found. Many types of abnormal growths can occur in the human body, some of which are harmful and some that are not. A pedunculated polyp is usually not harmful, but can cause problems if it grows in an area where it causes irritation through contact with sensitive organs or tissues. Over time, an ignored or unidentified polyp may become cancerous, causing even more serious problems for the body. Benign polyps are those that are not cancerous, while malignant polyps are cancerous. Medical professionals are unable to determine whether any polyp is benign or malignant on sight. For this reason, they are generally removed soon after they are found in order to test the tissue for cancer."

Some types of polyps (the ones known as \"\"adenomas\"\") have the potential to turn into colon cancer while others (such as \"\"hyperplastic\"\" or \"\"inflammatory\"\" polyps) have virtually no chance to develop into a cancer. You should not worry if polyps are found on your examination since: Not all polyps will become cancers. It takes many years for a polyp to turn into a cancer. Polyps can be completely and safely removed. It is very important that you follow-up with your doctor, since the type, size, and location of the polyps and the way in which they were removed are relevant for determining the best course of action for you.

"text": "Tubular Adenoma Polyp A tubular adenoma polyp is a type of colon polyp that may turn cancerous, as it grows bigger in size. This article will provide you with a brief overview about this type of colon polyp. Tagged Under: Digestive Health Advertisement Polyps are abnormal overgrowth of tissues, that protrude from the mucous membrane. Such growths may develop anywhere in the body, where there is mucous membrane. These abnormal growths are usually found in the uterus, cervix, nose, sinuses, urinary bladder, stomach, and colon. In case of colon, polyps are mostly found in elderly people. As per statistics, more than 50% of the elderly population (those above the age of sixty) will have at least one colon polyp. Most of the colon polyps are harmless, till they are small. While it cannot be said that all colon polyps can become cancerous, some of them may turn malignant with time and so, are removed as soon as they are detected. The chances of malignancy is decided on the basis of various factors like the type of colon polyp and its size."

Colon polyps grow on the lining of the large intestine. There are several causes of this condition including heredity, disease, ulcerative colitis or abnormal cell growth. This condition can cause several symptoms like fatigue, abdominal pain/cramping and bloody stools. Polyps can be cancerous (malignant) or not cancerous (benign). Here are the types of colon polyps. Pedunculated Polyp This type of polyp is when it is attached to the mucous membrane and has a narrow stalk of tissue. This is one of the most common types of colon polyps. Sessile Polyp When there is no stalk of tissue present and the polyp grows right on the mucous membrane, it is called sessile."

Classification and external resources [ edit on Wikidata]In gastroenterology, a sessile serrated adenoma (abbreviated SSA ), also known as sessile serrated polyp (abbreviated SSP ), is a premalignant flat (or sessile) lesion of the colon, predominantly seen in the cecum and ascending colon. SSAs are thought to lead to colorectal cancer through the (alternate) serrated pathway. [ 1] [2] This differs from most colorectal cancer, which arises from mutations starting with inactivation of the APC gene. Multiple SSAs may be part of the serrated polyposis syndrome. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Symptoms2 Diagnosis3 Serrated polyposis syndrome4 Treatment5 Additional images6 See also7 References8 External links Symptoms [ edit]SSAs, generally, are asymptomatic. They are typically identified on a colonoscopy and excised for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis [ edit]SSAs are diagnosed by their microscopic appearance; histomorphologically, they are characterized by (1) basal dilation of the crypts, (2) basal crypt serration, (3) crypts that run horizontal to the basement membrane (horizontal crypts), and (4) crypt branching. The most common of these features is basal dilation of the crypts."

Itzkowitz, MD, FACP, FACG, AGAFProfessor of Medicine and Oncological Sciences; Director, GI Fellowship Program, The Dr. Henry D. Janowitz Division of Gastroenterology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYC, NYIdeally, a cancer screening test should be non-invasive, safe, easy to perform, operator-independent and inexpensive. And, it should be accurate enough to detect early stage cancers and important precancerous lesions. While we have come to accept colonoscopy as the most sensitive screening test for colorectal neoplasia, colonoscopy does not meet many of these criteria. Colonoscopy has an alleged 95 percent sensitivity for detecting CRC. But how does this reconcile with studies from the U. S., Canada and Germany showing a minimal impact of colonoscopy in reducing right-sided colon cancer incidence and mortality? And how does the interval of 10 years accommodate the variable natural history of CRC, such as interval CRCs? I am a staunch advocate of colonoscopy as a screening test — after all, I do it for a living! I’ve spent the last decade developing and implementing novel patient navigation approaches to get traditionally underserved patients to complete screening colonoscopy. I have been involved in the ongoing efforts of the New York Citywide Colon Cancer Control Coalition (C5), which helped transform screening colonoscopy rates of 42 percent in 2003 to 61 percent in 2007, while eliminating ethnic disparities."

Although benign, they are the direct precursors of adenocarcinomas and follow a predictable cancerous temporal course unless interrupted by treatment. They can be either pedunculated or sessile. Adenomas are divided into 3 subtypes based on histologic criteria, (1) tubular, (2) tubulovillous, and (3) villous. According to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, villous adenomas are composed of greater than 80% villous architecture. Tubular adenomas are encountered most frequently (80-86%). Tubulovillous adenomas are encountered less frequently (8-16%), and villous adenomas are encountered least frequently (5%). Villous adenomas are associated more often with larger adenomas and more severe degrees of dysplasia. These adenomas occur more frequently in the rectum and rectosigmoid, although they may occur anywhere in the colon. They generally are sessile structures that appear as velvety or cauliflowerlike projections."

"text": "Cancer Colon Cancer What to Know About Adenomas and Colon Cancer Before Your Colonoscopy Adenomas and Their Relationship to Colon Cancer By Suzanne Dixon, MPH, RDUpdated June 18, 2017Share Pin Email Print SEBASTIAN KAULITZKI / Getty Images An adenoma is benign, but sometimes pre-cancerous growth that may develop in the colon . Adenomas are a type of polyp that arises from or resembles the normal lining of the colon but have some distinctive features. Adenomas are the most common type of polyp, and also the most common cause of colon cancer, so finding and removing them through screening techniques is very important for preventing colon cancer. When an adenoma becomes cancerous, it is called an adenocarcinoma. Fortunately, adenomas typically are easy to find and to remove before they become cancerous. Adenomas and Colon Cancer Screenings Adenomas are often found during routine colon cancer screening tests, such as a colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. They are then removed and sent to a pathologist who will examine them at the microscopic level. The findings will be provided to your physician, usually including a sense of their composition, unique characteristics, and their risk of developing into cancer had they not been removed. Most adenomas develop sporadically in the population, meaning they are not caused by a genetic mutation. However, the risk of developing colon polyps larger than one centimeter or developing colon cancer is twice as great for people with a first-degree relative who has had an adenoma larger than one centimeter, so there is a well-recognized familial component."

Colonic polyps grow in the large intestine, or colon. Most polyps are not dangerous. However, some polyps may turn into cancer or already be cancer. To be safe, doctors remove polyps and test them. Polyps can be removed when a doctor examines the inside of the large intestine during a colonoscopy. Anyone can get polyps, but certain people are more likely than others.

"text": "\"Cancer Colon Cancer Identifying and Treating Colon Polyps Characteristics and structure help identify cancer risk By Suzanne Dixon, MPH, RDUpdated February 10, 2018Share Pin Email Print BSIP/UIG/Getty Images A polyp is a term used to describe a growth on the lining of a mucous membrane. The growth may develop on the lining of the digestive tract, mouth, uterus, bladder, nasal passages, or genital area. When a polyp develops in the colon, it is usually benign (non-cancerous) but, in some cases, can develop into a malignancy (cancer). Understanding Colon Polyps There are different types of colon polyps, each of which has its own characteristics and structure. These and other factors (including size and location) can help us determine if they have the potential to develop into colon cancer. Colon polyps themselves are quite common, occurring in around half of adults over 60. They are usually found during a visual examination of the colon. When discovered, the growths can be removed and the tissue sent to the lab for evaluation to assess if any abnormalities are suggestive of a malignancy. Currently, all adults 50 years and older are advised to have a colorectal screening using one of four techniques: Colonoscopy, which can visually examine the entire colon Sigmoidoscopy, which can only detect polyps in the last portion of your colon Barium enema used to highlight abnormalities on X-ray Fecal occult stool testing used to detect blood in stool (a sign of cancer)Shape When describing a polyp, a doctor will use words that we recognize (like flat or raised) and some that we don’t. In their entirety, these physical descriptions help the doctor determine how to deal with a polyp should it need to be removed."

And while being transgender is as old as the human race itself, for many people, the topic is new. How does someone transition from one gender to another? What are transgender people, and what do they look like? For the uninitiated, here’s your primer on being transgender and being a good transgender ally. What is gender identity?

"text": "\"The Social Construction of Gender By MARIA POWER on October 3, 2011 8:36 PM | 1 Comment | 0 Track Backs Gender is socially constructed and a result of sociocultural influences throughout an individual's development (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). Gender identity can be affected by, and is different from one society to another depending on the way the members of society evaluate the role of females and males. Our gender identity can be influenced from the ethnicity of the group, their historical and cultural background, family values and religion. Often people confuse or misuse the terms gender and sex. The term sex refers to the biological distinction of being male and female (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). To make the distinction clearer one could consider that we inherit the sex but we learn our gender (Boss, 2008). Gender is a structural feature of society and the sociological significance of gender is that it is a devise by which society controls its members (Henslin, 2006). Gender like social class and race can be used to socially categorize people and even lead to prejudice and discrimination. Prejudice is a set of attitudes, more likely unfavorable, towards members of a group ( Pennsylvania State University, 2011). Discrimination is overt negative behaviors towards a person based on his or her membership in a group ( Pennsylvania State University, 2011)."

Gender terminology Overview Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there's a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity. It's sometimes known as gender identity disorder (GID), gender incongruence or transgenderism. Biological sex is assigned at birth, depending on the appearance of the genitals. Gender identity is the gender that a person \"\"identifies\"\" with or feels themselves to be. While biological sex and gender identity are the same for most people, this isn't the case for everyone. For example, some people may have the anatomy of a man, but identify themselves as a woman, while others may not feel they're definitively either male or female. This mismatch between sex and gender identity can lead to distressing and uncomfortable feelings that are called gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is a recognised medical condition, for which treatment is sometimes appropriate."

"text": "\"This page is a resource explaining general sociological concepts of sex and gender. The examples I cover are focused on experiences of otherness. Sociology of Gender In sociology, we make a distinction between sex and gender. Sex are the biological traits that societies use to assign people into the category of either male or female, whether it be through a focus on chromosomes, genitalia or some other physical ascription. When people talk about the differences between men and women they are often drawing on sex – on rigid ideas of biology – rather than gender, which is an understanding of how society shapes our understanding of those biological categories. Gender is more fluid – it may or may not depend upon biological traits. More specifically, it is a concept that describes how societies determine and manage sex categories; the cultural meanings attached to men and women’s roles; and how individuals understand their identities including, but not limited to, being a man, woman, transgender, intersex, gender queer and other gender positions. Gender involves social norms, attitudes and activities that society deems more appropriate for one sex over another. Gender is also determined by what an individual feels and does. The sociology of gender examines how society influences our understandings and perception of differences between masculinity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a “man”) and femininity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a “woman”)."

"text": "\"Share |Recently, I've been talking about men and feminism a fair bit, and not just in what I write, but in other places online and in real life. This is pretty normal for me, but what's a bit interesting is that a lot of these conversations have been around the relationship of men to feminism and in particular, what role men can play in supporting feminism and women in general. A lot of this discussion has been about names; and in particular what you call a male identified person who supports and actively promotes feminism. ' Feminist' is the obvious answer, but this can be problematic because the word is SO strongly associated with women, and some feel that there personal, experiential aspects of feminism, along with male privilege (the numerous benefits and opportunities that biological men often enjoy solely on the basis of their sex - better average wages, less harassment, etc) think that is important for the term 'Feminist' to remain exclusive to female identifying people. Other people think that males SHOULD label themselves feminists, to better challenge the notion feminism is a concern only of women, and actively engage men in struggles for gender rights and equality. Just like UK comedian Bill Bailey is doing here. Some other terms that are used to describe men who identify with feminism are 'Allies,' a term which is used by people in many contexts (not just men) who advocate and support struggles around a particular issue, for example rights for sex workers, but, for whatever reason, do not identify with that community themselves. ' Male feminist' and 'pro-feminist' are also used, which include the term feminist, along with a caveat that creates a distinction with female feminists. This stuff with names and terms can seem kind of beside the point, but it all means quite a bit when it comes to how we think about gender, feminism, etc and this theory naturally informs personal politics and action in these areas. It's a personal choice though, and I don't think any of the above labels are more right or wrong than the others, it's about what you believe and what you feel comfortable with."

These two words are often used interchangeably, but there are distinct differences. Sex is commonly understood to be based on a person’s genitals and reproductive organs; these anatomical details are thought to define a person as male or female. Gender is often understood to refer to gender identity, meaning your internal sense of yourself as female, male, or other, regardless of biology. ( Some people born with external genitals and/or internal reproductive organs that are not exclusively male or female. For more information, see Disorders of Sexual Development . ) Gender also commonly refers to gender roles or expression, most often to behaviors and physical characteristics considered masculine or feminine in a particular culture. In American culture, gender is believed to follow directly from one’s biological sex, so a baby born with a vagina is considered female, called a girl, and expected to grow up to be a woman who acts, dresses and talks in a manner considered by the culture and her community to be feminine. A baby born with a penis is considered male, called a boy, and expected to grow up to be a man who acts, dresses and talks in a manner considered to be masculine."

"text": "Talking about gender 27At the London Feminist Network’s ‘Feminar’ in May 2010,Debbie Cameron and Joan Scanlon spoke about gender and what it means for radical feminism. What follows is an edited transcript of their remarks. Debbie Cameron: The purpose of today’s discussion is to try to cut through some of the theoretical and political confusion which now surrounds the concept of gender, and it’s probably useful to start by asking what’s causing that confusion. Conversations about ‘gender’ nowadays often run into problems because the people involved are using the same word, to mean somewhat the same thing, but on closer examination they aren’t talking about the same set of issues from the same point of view. For instance, when we launched the T&S Reader at the Edinburgh radical bookfair, some women students came up to us afterwards and said they were very pleased we’d produced the book, but surprised it didn’t have much in it about gender. Actually it’s all about gender in the radical feminist sense–power relations between women and men–so this comment did not make much sense to us. Joan was initially completely baffled by it; I realised what they must be getting at only because I’m still an academic, and in the academy you hear ‘gender’ used this way a lot. What’s going on here is that during the 1990s, queer theorists and queer activists developed a new way of talking about gender: it did have points of overlap with the older feminist way of talking, but the emphasis was different, the theory behind it was different (basically it was the postmodernist theory of identity associated with the philosopher Judith Butler, though I don’t think Butler herself would say that feminists had no critical analysis of gender), and the politics that came out of it were very different. For people whose ideas were formed either by encounter with academic feminist theory or by involvement in queer politics and activism, that became the meaning of ‘gender’. They believed what they’d been told, that feminists in the 70s and 80s didn’t have a critical analysis of gender, or that they had the wrong analysis because their ideas about gender were ‘essentialist’ rather than ‘social constructionist’."

This year, The National Women’s History Project is hosting Living the Legacy , a celebration of the 150 th anniversary of the American women’s rights movement. The mass media isn't ignoring it, as shown by the fine San Jose Mercury News coverage. However, it is saying few critical words about \"\"Dr\"\" Gray’s sexist bestseller and Mr. Mars&Venus is continuing to give women the same advice the \"\"experts\"\" gave our grandmothers. If most people really thought the Mars&Venus books were ridiculous, Harper Collins would have never published them. Many people who say they believe in women’s equality get defensive whenever Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (MMWV) is criticized.

In my own experience, straight certainly means “exclusively attracted to the opposite sex.” Thus, a “straight” woman is attracted only to men and never to women. It would therefore seem to me incorrect to describe a woman who has been involved with both men and women as “straight”. But couldn’t one rightly describe such a woman as heterosexual? Given the literal meaning of that word’s roots, I feel as though one ᴏᴜɢʜᴛ to be able to use heterosexual to mean someone “attracted to the opposite sex” without implications about lack of attraction to the same sex. The same thing goes for gay versus homosexual: one ᴏᴜɢʜᴛ to be able to use homosexual to mean someone “attracted to the same sex” without any implication about a lack of attraction to the opposite sex.

Lesbians were assigned black upside-down triangles. In the 1970’s, gay activists began using the pink triangle as a way of identifying themselves & at the same time calling attention to this long-forgotten chapter in gay history. In many instances, the triangle has been turned up (one tip pointing up) as a sign of reversing the fortunes of LGBTQA people. Rainbow Flag: The first Rainbow Flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco artist. Baker designed a flag with 8 stripes -- hot pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sun), green (nature), turquoise (art), indigo (harmony) and violet (spirit). Baker hand-dyed and sewed the material for the first flags himself, which flew at the 1978 San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. In November 1978, Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s first openly gay city council member, was assassinated. To demonstrate the community's strength and solidarity after this tragedy, the 1979 Pride Parade Committee decided to use Baker's flag. Due to mass production constraints, hot pink was dropped, and the indigo stripe eliminated so the colors could be evenly distributed along the parade route - three colors on each side of the street."

"text": "Shallots. Photo © Molly Watson Shallots are a member of the allium family, just like onions, leeks, and garlic. While often thought of as smaller, milder onions, shallots are their own species and aren't simply small onions. They have a slightly sweeter edge than most onions, especially when cooked. How to Choose Shallots Shallots have a burnished brown skin covering the faded purple crunchy layers inside. As with onions, choose shallots that feel heavy for their size and are firm. Avoid shallots with soft spots or that are sprouting (sprouting shallots have a green sprout growing from their stem end, while perfectly edible, they have a stronger, more bitter flavor than other shallots). When Is Shallot Season? In most climates, shallots are planted in the fall to harvest the following summer and fall. Since shallots keep well if kept in a cool, dark, dry place, fresh shallots are often available into early winter."

Bodnar - Fresh and Ethnic Vegetables Specialist/OMAFTable of Contents Introduction Taxonomy Propagation and Cultural Management Storage Varieties Pests and Diseases Related Links Introduction Shallots, Allium cepa, are closely related to multiplier onions, but smaller, and have unique culinary value. ( The term 'multiplier' means that the bulbs multiply freely producing several lateral bulbs). At maturity, shallot bulbs resemble small onions. Shallots have long been associated with fine French cuisine. They are eaten fresh or cooked, chopped or boiled. Shallots have a delicate onion flavour when cooked that adds to but does not overpower other flavours. Figure 1. Shallot plant made up of a multitude of small bulbs. Raw shallots have a strong pungency, stronger than most onions. Their true character comes when lightly sauteed in butter until they are translucent in colour or when used in gravies and creamy sauces."

I’ve never used them in the past, so I picked up a bunch of them on a recent shopping trip so that I could see for myself what they are all about. I have been growing onions in pots lately, so the size of these seemed like they might be something that would work out for me. They LOOK like onions (well almost) and they TASTE like onions (only milder) so what is the deal with these veggies? What is the Difference between an Onion and a Shallot? The obvious difference in the two bulb vegetables is their shape. Onions are commonly round in shape and shallots seem to take more after cloves of garlic. It appears to look something like an elongated onion, in my opinion. My big bag of shallots had several that had one rooted bottom and several clove shaped pieces. ("

Here’s how to start garlic, onions, and shallots early: Step One: Start garlic cloves and onion or shallot sets in compartmented seed starting trays or small pots. Plant cloves and sets indoors as early as 12 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost date. ( They can be transplanted into the garden as early as 5 to 4 weeks before the last expected frost.)

Photo by Molly In addition to thickening a sauce, reducing concentrates the flavors when water that would otherwise dilute the intense flavors deepens while the reduction occurs. We made a very simple teriyaki-style sauce to illustrate this method. We used 1 cup of light soy sauce, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 shallots, and a clove of garlic. Peel and roughly chop the shallots and garlic. Place these two ingredients in a pot. Cooking these ingredients over a high heat until they caramelized would be one way to reduce some of the liquid from the shallots. View the method for caramelizing onions to learn more about this. However, we chose not to caramelize the shallots and garlic in this particular method of reduction. Pour the sugar and the soy sauce into the pot."

They're also known to repel insects and pests in the garden and have attractive flowers. Members of the onion family, especially garlic, have long been used for their medicinal qualities. Garlic is said to have antibacterial and antiviral qualities, making it a favorite old-time remedy for coughs and colds. While members of the onion family have slightly different characteristics, they prefer similar growing conditions--light, sandy soil, even moisture and full sun. Onions Onions need a long growing season to mature from seed and most gardeners prefer to plant onion sets, which are dried, immature onions ready for planting. Long-storing, pungent onions include yellow, white or red onions. You can also grow pearl or pickling onions, or sweet onions, such as Bermuda or Spanish. In the north, gardeners usually grow storing onions, while southern climates favor sweet onions."

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone Updated 10/16/17Share Pin Email Lew Robertson, Brand X Pictures/Getty Images Shallots, although they look nothing like them, are often confused with scallions. They are both a type of onion, but whereas a scallion is long and thin with green leaves and a white tip, the shallot is bulb-shaped, with copper, reddish, or gray skin. It looks rather like a small, elongated onion, but has a milder flavor with a hint of garlic. It is not often that we have shallots and no onions in our kitchen, but if that were the case, could we swap one for the other? What about using onion in place of shallots? Before substituting ingredients it is important to understand exactly what a shallot is. Anatomy of a Shallot From the outside, a shallot looks a bit like a misshapen red onion, but once you peel it, you will see that instead of rings, it divides into cloves like garlic does. Small shallot bulbs will have two to three individual cloves and large shallots can have up to six cloves."

So today I give you a simple, healthy, no fuss, extremely tasty meal to make!Roasted cherry tomatoes along with garlic and shallots makes for a very moist and flavorful fish that’s also vibrant in color!Roast a bunch of asparagus on the side, it pairs nicely with the salmon, no heavy carbs required. I added dollops of fresh basil pesto to mine which heightened the flavors even more. It’s amazing what can be made in just one pan, this is great for a quick weekday meal or worthy enough for dinner guests!The original recipe calls for 3 lbs. of salmon but I used only 2 individual portions, changed up the amounts and added fresh basil and pesto. Here’s my version. Salmon with Roasted Tomatoes and Shallots Print Ingredientswild salmon, 2 individual portions1½ pints of cherry or grape tomatoes2 shallots, thinly sliced3 cloves garlic, shavedfresh basilolive oilsalt and pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400 F. Into a baking dish add the tomatoes,some fresh snipped basil, garlic and shallots, drizzle everything with olive oil, a little salt and pepper and roast uncovered for 15 minutes Place salmon, skin side down on tomato-shallot mixture. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper. Roast uncovered 15 to 18 minutes depending on how thick your fish is basting it once with all those juices during the cooking time."

"text": "\"Few ingredients are as broadly cherished in the world's cuisines as onions, garlic and their diverse kin. Though they all share broadly similar characteristics, the plants in this family -- collectively known as alliums -- generate a remarkably diverse set of flavors. They range from mild and sweet to eye-wateringly pungent, providing an ingredient for almost any culinary purpose. Two of the mildest and most versatile are scallions and shallots, each of which provides a pleasantly light onion note.credit: fpwing/i Stock/Getty Images A close-up of a sliced shallot on a cutting board with whole shallots. A Quick Flavor Primer The onion family's flavors are created by volatile, sulfur-based compounds, which -- ironically -- evolved as a chemical defense to keep the plants from being eaten. When a plant's cells are crushed or cut, those volatile compounds are released, reacting with each other and atmospheric oxygen to create the familiar and eye-watering onion bouquet. Scallions and shallots both contain these tear-inducing chemicals, though in general they're less pungent than other onion varieties. Let's Get Physical Both scallions and shallots are immediately recognizable, because they're physically distinct from other onions. Scallions are the familiar \"\"green onions\"\" sold in bunches at the supermarket, or chopped into green rings at the salad bar. They're ordinary onions, harvested while immature and still cylindrical, resembling pencil-thin leeks."

Seed that has been coated with a clay-based material to form a larger, round shape. This makes planting by hand or mechanical seeder easier and allows for more controlled sowing of small seeds such as carrots or lettuce."

"text": "\"The shamrock and Saint Patrick. Although the shamrock is closely associated with Saint Patrick, it is more likely that the shamrock was worn it as a symbol of the cross - the old Tua Cross, presumably and not the modern one - rather than of the Trinity. Shamrock itself is simply immature trefoil, or young clover, and the name is an anglicisation of seamair óg or \"\"young clover\"\". The myths themselves, though, are much more interesting. The shamrock, it is said, symbolises the Trinity, that is, the Christian idea that there is one God but three Persons in the one God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Before the Christian era it was a sacred plant of the druids of Ireland because it's leaves formed a triad. Famous stories tell of how St. Patrick used the shamrock in his teachings. Preaching in the open air about God and the Trinity, he illustrated the meaning of the Three in One by plucking a shamrock from the grass growing at his feet and showing it to his congregation. Just as the shamrock is one leaf with three parts, so God is one entity with three Persons. The legend of the shamrock is also associated with the banishment of the serpents from Ireland by a tradition that snakes are never seen on shamrock and that it is a remedy against the bites of snakes and scorpions."

There are some who ask how old is Ken Shamrock likely because of his long and glorious illustrious career. Ken Shamrock was born on the 11th of February, 1964, meaning that he will be 53 years old in a matter of days. He is an accomplished American mixed martial artist, a Hall of Fame inductee with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and superannuated professional wrestler. He was born, and spent four years of his early life at the Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. Richard Kilpatrick, his father was enlisted in the United States Air Force, while his mom Diane Kilpatrick was employed as a waitress and dancer. His family, which also had three brothers, lived in a mainly black area of Atlanta, Georgia. Owing to the fact that his family was dysfunctions, as his father had abandoned them, and his mother remarried when he was just five years old, he and his brother learnt to fend for themselves early in life-and it is remarkable how old Shamrock was when he started looking after himself! Without parental guidance, Shamrock and his brothers were always getting involved in fights and even started doing drugs, especially after his step-dad and mom relocated to California. There, also, Shamrock started playing in Little League baseball and Pop Warner football and excelled in both sports."

The Shamrock was a hotel constructed between 1946 and 1949 by wildcatter Glenn Mc Carthy southwest of downtown Houston, Texas next to the Texas Medical Center. It was the largest hotel built in the United States during the 1940s. [ 1] The grand opening of the Shamrock is still cited as one of the biggest social events ever held in Houston.

The hotel was located in a suburban area three miles (5 km) southwest of downtown Houston at the acute southwest corner of Main Street and Bellaire Boulevard (West Holcombe Boulevard after 1963). At the time, this was on the fringes of countryside and was meant to be the first phase of a much larger indoor shopping and entertainment complex called Mc Carthy Center, anchored alongside the planned Texas Medical Center."

For 2016, the minty-green delights will be available through the second half of March. Actual sale dates vary by market. How much does a Shamrock Shake cost? That also varies by region and location. A common promotional price seems to be $1.99 for the small (12 ounce) size. Medium and large Shamrock Shakes will cost more, of course. As you probably know, all Mc Donald’s shakes are now served “Mc Cafe style” in clear plastic cups instead of the paper cups used previously. All shakes are also now topped with whipped cream and a cherry, making them look more like a dessert."

( Read about the top ten St. Patrick's Day celebrations . )\"\" There was ice on the river right around the area where the dyeing takes place,\"\" said Kevin Sherlock, a parade organizer with the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local 130, which has run the event for 59 years. Temperatures have warmed enough to break up the ice-choked stretch of river through downtown, and members of the plumbers union will be out in their skiffs on Saturday, March 15, to help dye the river. In New York City, where the country's largest and oldest parade will be held on Monday, the streets will be snow free too, though temperatures are forecast to be in the mid-30s, so the advice is to dress warmly. Elsewhere along the East Coast, parades from Boston to Savannah, Georgia, may come with a nip in the air but a spring in the step of everyone from bagpipers to flag twirlers. \"\""

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Shamrock Organization)navigation search The shamrock leaf shape is a symbolic representation of an organization with three types of workforce, having a main body and connected lobes that together form a whole. The term was invented by Irish academic and management author/philosopher Charles Handy. [ 1] He believed that people were the most important resource within any organisation, unlike F. W. Taylor who believed in tall hierarchical structures where workers were closely supervised. Handy believed in meeting the needs of workers through job enrichment. He did not believe in jobs for life but contracts or short-term jobs were more appropriate. He suggested that non-essential work should be contracted to specialist people who could work more productively and efficiently. In his book The Age of Unreason he uses the shamrock design to demonstrate three types of people linked to the organisation with different expectations and managed and rewarded differently. This style is known as \"\"The Shamrock Flourish\"\". Shamrock organizations have an organizational structure with three distinct parts. The first part, or leaf, represents the core staff of the organization."

Aponte, CPAA practitioner should take special care in advising clients on shareholder loans to an S corporation. Repayment of the loans by the corporation has the potential to generate unexpected taxable income to the shareholder. First, a quick review of the mechanics of S corporation loans. An S corporation shareholder in a closely held corporation might make loans to the company to improve liquidity and to provide working capital. The face amount of the loan becomes the shareholder's initial basis in the loan. The S corporation might also pass through losses to its owners, which can be deducted by the shareholders to the extent of their adjusted stock and loan basis (Sec. 1366 (d)). If a passthrough loss exceeds a shareholder's stock basis, the excess loss then reduces the shareholder's loan basis, but not below zero (Regs. Sec. 1.1367- 2 (b) (1))."

However, the hunt for the elusive student loan forgiveness programs can lead borrowers down dangerous paths which they may not fully understand. Don’t misinterpret that as all student loan forgiveness is bad – in fact, there are many smart ways to get student loan forgiveness. However, there are terms and conditions with all student loan forgiveness programs that have to be followed or it could create real financial problems for borrowers. Here are the key dangers of student loan forgiveness borrowers need to be aware of. Dangers With Public Student Loan Forgiveness Programs The two main types of student loan forgiveness programs that qualify the most individuals are public student loan forgiveness and teacher student loan forgiveness. Both of these plans have very strict requirements that must be met, and as such, there are dangers involved with both. For public student loan forgiveness, you can qualify to have the remainder of your Federal student loans forgiven after you make payments on your loans for 10 years (120 payments)."

This is commonly known as COD (Cancellation of Debt) Income. According to the Internal Revenue Code, the discharge of indebtedness must be included in a taxpayer's gross income. [ 1] There are exceptions to this rule, however, so a careful examination of one's COD income is important to determine any potential tax consequences.

[ 4]Prior to this decision, the Court had already determined that the cancellation of debt was \"\"a freeing of assets.\"\" [ 5] Essentially, when debt is cancelled, money that would have been used to pay that debt is now free to be used on anything else the taxpayer wants.

"text": "The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has had 80 years of independence from the oversight, review, and budgetary control of a more traditional federal agency, as well as from the rigors of operating as a private shareholder-owned utility. Such a lack of effective oversight from either the government or the private sector has resulted in costly decisions, excessive expenses, electric rates that are higher than in all but one of the larger shareholder-owned utilities in the eight states contiguous to Tennessee, and growing liabilities for all U. S. taxpayers. The most effective way to restore efficiency to the TVA system is to sell its assets via a competitive auction and bring it under the rigors of market forces and public utility regulation. In a private-sector environment under strong executive leadership, the assets of the TVA could be worth much more than is implied by its debt-laden balance sheet and costly operations. A Brief History of the TVALegislation to establish the Tennessee Valley Authority was enacted in May 1933, with the U. S. unemployment rate at a record 25 percent, and millions of citizens jobless, homeless, and standing in bread lines for their daily nourishment. A key piece in President Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal” vision, the TVA was designed as a large, multipurpose, powerful, well-funded government organization to revive the economically devastated Tennessee River Valley. The TVA was established to provide navigation, flood control, power generation, reforestation, and economic development in a region encompassing nine states, but principally in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The TVA was to operate (and still does) through physical, economic, and social development and provide low-cost hydropower in the region to outcompete shareholder-owned electric utilities. The TVA was strongly opposed by entities such as the Alabama Power Company, which believed that competitive markets, private-sector businesses, and some federal dams would be a more effective way to deal with the Tennessee River watershed problems. There were a number of other legislative efforts to put in place TVA-like corporations around the United States, but none was enacted. ["

"text": "Shareholder Loans and Your Private Corporationby Dean Paley on February 11, 2012I f you own your private corporation and borrow money you should consider the income tax consequences. The Income Tax Act contains a series of rules that may have income tax consequences for the person receiving the loan from the company. In the context of this article, the term loan means any form of debt the shareholder or family member has to the corporation. The term shareholder should be taken to mean the shareholder of the corporation or members of the shareholders family. These rules exist to prevent shareholders of private companies from taking out a series of back-to-back loans and avoid personal income tax altogether. General Tax Rule For Shareholder Loans The general rule is that your shareholder loan must be repaid within one year from the end of the corporations’ tax year then the loan will not be taxed in your hands. You may be able to have the loan outstanding for longer that 12 months depending on when the loan was taken out and the corporation’s year end. However, caution must be taken as missing the repayment deadline can have some unwelcome tax consequences.3 Exceptions To The Shareholder Loan Rules There are three general exceptions to shareholder loan provisions under the income Tax Act.1. One Year Rule – As outlined above, if the loan is repaid by the shareholder within the year after the end of the corporations’ tax year, the loan is not included in income. However, the loan cannot be a series of loans and repayments."

"text": "Debt Restructuring November 14, 2017 by New Jersey Bankruptcy Leave a Comment Submitted by New Jersey Bankruptcy Lawyer, Lee M. Perlman. If you’re struggling under the weight of your debt, you may have heard of debt restructuring as a way to get some relief. You may have even heard that you can get some of your debt forgiven through the debt restructuring process, allowing you to get a fresh start. But what exactly is debt restructuring and how does it compare with other debt relief options? This article breaks it all down so you can decide whether restructuring your debt is a wise decision for you. What is debt restructuring? Debt restructuring can take several different forms, but at its core it is simply the process of changing the terms of an existing loan, typically in order to make it easier for the borrower to pay back some or all of the debt. A debt can be restructured to lower the interest rate, extend the repayment period (consequently lowering the monthly payment), forgive some of the balance owed or otherwise change the terms and conditions of the loan. Bankruptcy is one route to restructuring debt. Cathy Moran, a certified bankruptcy specialist who practices in the San Francisco Bay Area and runs the website bankruptcysoapbox.com, says that Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be an attractive option because you know going in which debts will be discharged and which won’t, it provides protection from creditors while you make payments, and in the end it can offer a lot of relief by wiping the slate clean."

"text": "Contractors can enjoy a long and lucrative contracting career without ever needing to take a director’s loan from their limited company, But for those that do, there are strict HMRC rules and legislation, and multiple pitfalls to navigate. “Borrowing money from your own company and never paying it back could be a great way to save on higher rate tax,” jokes James Abbott, owner and head of tax at contractor accountant Abbott Moore. “ However, not surprisingly the government realises this and has imposed strict rules on directors’ loan repayments and severe tax penalties if the loan is not repaid when due.” The relevant legislation is known as Section 455 tax (previously Section 419 tax).”The basic principle is that a director can take a loan, but if they do and don’t pay back quickly enough, HMRC is going to effectively charge the company the higher rate tax (25%) that would have been paid if the cash had been taken as a dividend. And when the contractor repays the loan, HMRC will give the company back the additional tax it paid. What is a director’s loan? Every limited company contractor has a director’s loan account, although most will never use it. The loan account is in credit if the company owes the contractor director money, and is in debit if the contractor has taken money out of their company that is not salary, expenses or declared as a dividend. “Contractors may find that in the early days of their contracting career their director’s loan account is in credit,” continues Abbott. “ This is typically because the contractor may have put their own money into the business when it started to buy a computer and pay for professional fees, such as incorporation and contract expenses."

"text": "Ag DM Whole Farm Legal and Taxes Current Issues, May 2007IRS issues proposed regulations concerning shareholder loans to S corporationsby Roger Mc Eowen, Leonard Dolezal Professor in Agricultural Law, and Director of the ISU Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation, (515) 294-4076, [email protected] When a “sub-chapter S” election is made, a corporation is treated taxwise as an individual. That means all of the corporate income, loss, deduction and other tax items flow through the corporation to the individual shareholder’s tax return. So, for example, if the corporation has a loss, that loss is deductible by the shareholders on their personal tax returns. But, the loss is limited by the shareholders’ tax basis in their stock. Stock basis is determined by the shareholder’s original investment in the corporation’s stock plus certain debt basis. Also, the manner in which the shareholder acquires the stock influences basis (e.g., whether it was received as a gift, a purchase, as compensation or through an estate). Basis is increased by the shareholder’s share of corporate taxable income and any capital contributions the shareholder makes. Basis is decreased by the shareholder’s share of corporate losses and any S corporation distributions to the shareholder. So, a deductible loss reduces the shareholder’s basis in the stock at the close of the year. Basis cannot be reduced below zero, and any loss that is not deductible due to the basis limitation is carried forward to the next tax year."

"text": "\"Related Terms: Incorporation; S Corporation When a small business incorporates, it is automatically a C corporation, also called a regular corporation. The most basic characteristic of the corporation is that it is legally viewed as an individual entity, separate from its owners, who are now shareholders. This means that when the corporation is sued, shareholders are only liable to the extent of their investments in the corporation. Their personal assets are not on the line, as they would be if the business was a partnership or sole proprietorship. Any debts that the corporation may acquire are also viewed as the corporation's responsibility. In other words, once the business is incorporated, shareholders are protected by the corporate veil, or limited liability. Because the corporation is a separate entity, it is viewed as an individual taxpayer by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result, corporations are subject to double taxation, which means that the profits are taxed once on the corporate level and a second time when they are distributed as dividends to the shareholders. If a business is eligible, it may elect S corporation status upon incorporating to avoid this negative characteristic of C corporations. ADVANTAGESLimited Liability Most small businesses that consider incorporating do so for the limited liability that corporate status affords."

Traditional areas of need may be for capital asset acquirement - new machinery or the construction of a new building or depot. The development of new products can be enormously costly and here again capital may be required. Normally, such developments are financed internally, whereas capital for the acquisition of machinery may come from external sources. In this day and age of tight liquidity, many organisations have to look for short term capital in the way of overdraft or loans in order to provide a cash flow cushion. Interest rates can vary from organisation to organisation and also according to purpose.

Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term \"\"shark\"\" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago. [ 1] Acanthodians are often referred to as \"\"spiny sharks\"\"; though they are not part of Chondrichthyes proper, they are a paraphyletic assemblage leading to cartilaginous fish as a whole. Since then, sharks have diversified into over 500 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark ( Etmopterus perryi ), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark ( Rhincodon typus ), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (40 ft) in length. Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive and be found in both seawater and freshwater. ["

There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates, far fewer than the 1 million insect species on Earth. Plant-eating dinosaurs, at 40,000 kg, were the heaviest animals to walk on land. The biggest animal that ever existed is the blue whale, at 100,000 kg. Humans and our closest relatives are vertebrates. This group includes other mammals, birds, lizards, snakes, turtles, amphibians, and the various classes of fishes. Concept 34.1 Chordates have a notochord and a dorsal, hollow nerve cord The vertebrates belong to one of the two major phyla in the Deuterostomia, the chordates. Chordates are bilaterian animals, belonging to the Deuterostomia. The phylum Chordata includes three subphyla, the vertebrates and two phyla of invertebrates—the urochordates and the cephalochordates. Four derived characters define the phylum Chordata."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology Describe the symbiotic relationship of lichens. ? 1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The symbiotic realtionship in lichens is that of a fungus and an algae or a fungus and a cyanobacteria. A lichen is a symbiosis. That means that it is two or more organisms living together such that both are more successful within the partnership than they would have been if they were living on their own. With lichens the basic components of this partnership are 1) a fungus called the 'mycobiont' and 2) one or more algae and/or a cyanobacteria called the 'photobiont'. The true nature of the symbiosis between this two partners is still being debated by scientists and some would maintain that the fungus is a parasite on the photobiont. However, in many cases, the algae in question cannot survive alone in the habitat occupied by the lichen any more than the unattached fungi can, so it is not realistic to use the term parasite. The fungal partners are mostly (over 95%) Ascomycetes. Most of the rest are Basidiomycetes. As far as science has been able to discover few if any of the fungi involved can survive and reproduce in the wild on their own."

The Greenland Shark Is The Longest Living Vertebrate Known To Science By Jeffrey Shao on August 24, 2016CCSS NAS-3Grades 3-8Word Search Favorite Photo Credit: NOAA OKEANOS Explorer Program, CC by 2.0)Scientists have long suspected that the elusive Greenland sharks lived for a long time. It turns out they were right! A new study has revealed that the world’s second largest carnivorous fish may have a lifespan of as long as 400 years. To put it in perspective, that is about twice that of the previously known longest-living vertebrate, the Bowhead whale, which is known to live for up to two centuries. The first clue that these deep sea dwellers live for a long time came in the 1930’s after a biologist in Greenland tagged 400 sharks and discovered that they grew only a centimeter a year. Given that Greenland sharks can grow to more than 20-feet in length, researchers realized that they must live for many years. However, nobody had investigated to see what that exact period was. Photo Credit: Julius Nielsen/Science John Steffensen, a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen, and graduate student Julius Nielsen were curious to find out and decided to study the sharks more carefully. According to the researchers, the task is easy when the shark species have calcified vertebrate or fin spines."

Chondrichthyans also lack ribs, so if they leave water, the larger species' own body weight would crush their internal organs long before they would suffocate.

Thankfully, since then things have improved somewhat for most of us – getting hit by a bus is probably the modern equivalent of being torn apart by wolves. However, there are still far flung places and environments beyond the control of man, where even today, man-eating animals roam wild, stalking human prey as a between meal snack…Whilst rare, there have been a number of high profile man eaters, many occurring within the last 100 years. Here, I’m going to list out the deadliest of all these man eaters and look at some of the most disturbing habitual individual killers.10. Man eating river fish: Now we all know that piranhas can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. And that anyone falling into the Amazon River is as good as dead when these vicious fish are around. Well, it turns out that most of the stories about piranhas are a little exaggerated. But, as with many myths there is a grain of truth and much of the legendary reputation of the piranha can be traced back to a single incident. During a visit to Brazil, and the Amazon, by the American president Theodore Roosevelt local fishermen set up a spectacle involving piranhas. The men had blocked off part of the river and starved the piranha for several days."

Let’s put it this way: dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which began about 245 million years ago. Sharks, on the other hand, were living on the planet 200 million years before dinosaurs! Is it starting to sink in now? Sharks are without a doubt one of the oldest creatures this planet has ever known. Fossil Records In order for scientists to determine information pertaining to the history of sharks in terms of age, appearance, and possible behaviors of ancient sharks, they study fossils. A fossil can be an impression of a prehistoric life form that has been preserved in a rock or mold. It can also be literal remains from the organism itself. Fascinatingly, shark fossils are extremely rare because sharks are mostly comprised of cartilage; cartilage tends to disintegrate too fast to become fossilized."

Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, from kingdoms to species, and individual organisms and molecules, such as DNA and proteins. The similarities between all present day organisms indicate the presence of a common ancestor from which all known species, living and extinct, have diverged through the process of evolution.

Coupled with our desire for order (some teenagers excluded! ), is an equally strong desire to name things we’ve sorted. The great Chinese thinker and philosopher K'ung Fu Tzu (better known by his Latin name: Confucius) is widely credited as being the source of the old Chinese proverb: “ The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right name. ” But, what’s the point of naming things? Why go to the hassle of trying to give every novel object its own name? We name objects because it makes our life easier. Let’s say you’re sitting on the sofa and you want your friend to pass the remote so you can see what else is on the TV – this process is rather difficult without names.

Sheep are exceptionally intelligent animals with unique personalities, and a whole host of adorable and endearing qualities. Unfortunately, most people never get to witness their incredible personalities and amazing natural behaviors because they are either confined to filthy and cramped factory farms, or no one bothers to take the time to get to know them. To get a glimpse of what sheep are truly like, take a trip to a farm sanctuary where you will have the chance to see them for who they really are.1. Sheep are very independent Sheep are flock animals, so people seem to be under the impression that this means they lack the ability to act independently of one another, but that’s a lie. At a sanctuary you’ll see sheep getting up to all sorts of different activities, and it’s usually whatever that individual feels like at the time.2. Sheep get jealous of each other Head butting, biting, hoof stomping, you name it, sheep will do all kinds of things to make sure they’re the only one in the picture!3. Sheep love cuddles Love This?

We needed talented actors who could help bring these animals to life.” Director Rich Moore agrees saying, “Everyone in this incredible cast is bringing something special, something unexpected to their characters, which really takes our story to a whole new level.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, so we’re not going to try. Let’s get right to the characters that originally debuted earlier today in USA Today. Chief Bogo Idris Elba (BBC’s Luther) provides the voice of Cheif Bogo, head of the Zootopia Police Department. A tough cape buffalo with 2,000 lbs of attitude, Bogo is reluctant to add Judy Hopps, Zootopia’s first bunny cop, to his squad of hardened rhinos, elephants and hippos. Mayor Lionheart J. K. Simmons ( Juno, Oscar winner for Whiplash) lends his voice to Mayor Leodore Lionheart, the noble leader of Zootopia, who coined the city’s mantra that Judy Hopps lives by: “In Zootopia, anyone can be anything."

"text": "The WHO wants to eliminate rabies in Asia by 2020. But how, when India accounts for more than one third of the world’s total rabies deaths? Mary-Rose Abraham reports. By Mary-Rose Abraham From Mosaic15 September 2015A pile of puppies cower under a parked car. The men grab one, but two escape down the street, forcing them to give chase. Five scrappy adult shorthairs – of an indiscriminate breed commonly known as an ‘Indian dog’ – appear from nowhere. Pointed ears pricked with curiosity, they howl as if sounding an alarm throughout the neighbourhood: the ‘catchers’ are here. The catchers’ van travels the tree-lined, mostly residential streets to the next area. On the way, a couple of dogs seem to recognise the vehicle, either by sight or by smell. They bark and take chase."

"text": "A Country Is Not Free Without Freedom of the Press By Yassine Imrani | May 2, 2012Freedom of expression is one of the most precious rights. Many developing nations struggling for democracy, and good governance, do not support freedom of the press and the media in these countries is often restricted or controlled by government censorship. World Press Freedom Day was established by the General Assembly of the United Nations, in December 1993, as an outgrowth of the Seminar on Promoting an Independent and Pluralistic African Press. This seminar took place in Namibia in 1991, and led to the adoption of the Windhoek Declaration on Promoting Independent and Pluralistic Media. World Press Freedom Day is observed annually on May 3, to remind the international community that freedom of the press and freedom of expression are fundamental human rights. The day gives the public the chance to honor media professionals who risked or lost their lives in the line of duty. In 2005 alone, more than 500 publishers and journalists were arrested and jailed, because they were seen as threats. Some may have reported on government corruption, the absence of political pluralism or human rights; others may have linked criminal activity to influential personalities. Media freedom also faces severe pressures across the world. Last year, UNESCO condemned the killing of 62 journalists who died as a result of their work."

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!— Donald J. Trump (@real Donald Trump) November 29, 2016The Supreme Court has twice affirmed the right to desecrate the American flag as a form of free speech -- a historically contentious issue -- in cases before the high court in 1989 and 1990. In the 1989 case \"\"Texas v. Johnson, \"\" the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that flag burning was a form of \"\"symbolic speech\"\" protected by the First Amendment. The ruling came after an appeal from Gregory Johnson, who had been convicted by a Texas court of violating a state law that prohibited the \"\"desecration of a venerated object\"\" such as the US flag. The following year, in \"\"United states v. Eichman, \"\" the top court again affirmed the right to burn the flag when it ruled 5-4 that the Flag Protection Act of 1989 -- passed by Congress in response to the Johnson decision -- was unconstitutional. It's not immediately clear what prompted Trump's tweet Tuesday morning, though the national discussion of respect for the flag has been restarted in part following a flag burning November 10 on the campus of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, as part of a post-election protest. The university then decided to stop flying the American flag at the campus, which also infuriated some members of the community."

"text": "Homepage History Magazine History UK History of Scotland The Brahan Seer – the Scottish Nostradamusby Ben Johnson The Brahan Seer, or Coinneach Odhar, was gifted with “the sight” – an ability to see visions that came unbidden day or night. His prophecies were so impressive that they are still quoted to this day. The Second Sight, more correctly called the Two Sights, is the ability to see both this world and another world at the same time. The Second Sight has never been regarded as witchcraft in Scotland, it is seen more as a curse. “ Ah, take patience with the lad for he has the Sight and it is a terrible affliction. ”According to folklore, The Brahan Seer, Kenneth the Sallow (Coinneach Odhar) was born Kenneth Mackenzie, at Baile-na-Cille, in the Parish of Uig and Island of Lewis, about the beginning of the 17th century. He lived at Loch Ussie near to Dingwall in Ross-shire and worked as a labourer on the Brahan estate, seat of the Seaforth chieftains, from somewhere around 1675. According to legend, it was through his mother that Kenneth the Sallow was given the sight. At a graveyard one night when ghosts were known to roam the earth, his mother encountered the ghost of a Danish princess on her way back to her grave. In order to allow her to pass back into the grave, Kenneth’s mother demanded that the princess should pay a tribute, and asked that her son should be given the second sight."

The year is 1890. Leon addresses the audience to explain his new job. He applied for and received the position by mail, so he is seeing the town for the first time. As he admires the town from its outskirts, he runs into Snetsky, the shepherd. Following introductions, Snetsky reveals that he has lost his sheep, which happens to him frequently. He also tells Leon that many, many schoolteachers have come before him, but none of them lasted even a day. He then tells Leon that everyone in Kulyenchikov is stupid, which makes Leon’s job nearly impossible. When Leon mentions that he has been hired by Dr. Zubritsky to tutor his daughter, Sophia, Snetsky informs him that she is especially dim-witted. The scene ends as Leon heads into town, somewhat nervously, to see if Snetsky’s description is accurate."

Sheep are a herd / flock animal. If one sheep bolts for no reason, the majority if not the entire flock is likely to do the same thing. The only thing with a more questionable intelligence than a sheep is the idiot that chooses to raise sheep. They are dumb. Really really dumb. They know how to eat, drink, reproduce… and that's about it. That being said: the sheep I am forced to bottle rear are MUCH more adept and adaptable than their field counterparts. There is likely an argument here for nature vs nurture, as they remember the person, the dogs and others with which they are raised, but often have a very hard time adjusting to “\"\"flock life” when and if returned to that lifestyle."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. A: The best way to answer this question is to reverse the two parts. First, your hair grows from follicles within the skin. The part of the hair inside the follicle (below the skin's surface) is known as the hair root, while the portion you see protruding from the head is the hair shaft. At the base of the hair root is the hair bulb where nutrients are received and new cells are formed. Also within the hair follicle are the dermal papilla (a cone shaped protrustion at the base of the follicle which feeds blood - and therefore nutrients - to the hair bulb), the sebaceous gland (or oil gland) which lubricates and keeps the hair healthy and shiny, as well as the arrector pili, a tiny muscle anchored to the follicle. The arrector pili respond to stimulus (fear or cold) causing them to contract and make the hair stand up straight. Taking nutrients from the dermal papilla, the hair bulb generates new hair cells."

The alpaca is a docile long-necked fur-bearing creature raised for its highly desirable and luxurious fleece. Sheared once a year like sheep, the alpacas produce fiber that is soft, lustrous and warm. Alpacas are relatively easy to care for, making them one of the best small-acreage livestock available. The alpaca is one of the oldest domesticated animals known to man. They are a herd animal, preferring to live together with other alpacas for their common defense and comfort. Often acting as a group, alpacas will feed together, play together, sleep together, and guard each other against predators. Alpacas are ruminants, chewing their cud as cows do, and making very efficient use of all the food they eat. Members of the camelid family, alpacas are biologically grouped with other South American camels, such as llamas, guanacos, and vicunas. As camelids, alpacas share similar skeletal construction, facial characteristics and unique two-toed padded feet with other camel types."

Leaves are alternate and are pinnately compound, with more than 10 leaflets per leaf. A pair of spines occurs at the base of each leaf. White flowers appear in loose drooping clusters in May or June and later form long flattened brown seedpods. Several toxic compounds are found in black locust sprouts, leaves, bark, flowers, and seed pods, including a glycoside (robitin) and phytotoxins (robin and phasin). Of grazing animals, horses are most susceptible to the effects of black locust. Poisoning and death have been reported for horses consuming bark, leaves, or sprouts."

"text": "\"What does it mean that the Lord is my Shepherd (Psalm 23)? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What does it mean that the Lord is my Shepherd (Psalm 23)?\"\" Answer: The clause “the Lord is my shepherd” comes from one of the most beloved of all passages of Scripture, the 23rd Psalm. In this passage and throughout the New Testament we learn that the Lord is our Shepherd in two ways. First, as the Good Shepherd, He laid down His life for His sheep and, second, His sheep know His voice and follow Him ( John 10:11, 14 ). In Psalm 23, God is using the analogy of sheep and their nature to describe us. Sheep have a natural tendency to wander off and get lost. As believers, we tend to do the same thing. It’s as Isaiah has said: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way” ( Isaiah 53:6 ). When sheep go astray, they are in danger of getting lost, being attacked, even killing themselves by drowning or falling off cliffs."

"text": "\"BACTERIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE OF POLLUTION\"\"Total Coliforms include species that may inhabit the intestines of warm-blooded animals or occur naturally in soil, vegetation, and water. They are usually found in fecally-polluted water and are often associated with disease outbreaks. Although they are not usually pathogenic themselves, their presence in drinking water indicates the possible presence of pathogens. E. coli, one species of the coliform group, is always found in feces and is, therefore, a more direct indicator of fecal contamination and the possible presence of enteric pathogens. In addition, some strains of E. coli are pathogenic.\"\" ( 1)\"\"One might assume that the objective in the routine analysis of water would be to search for pathogenic microorganisms. This is not true, however, for the following reasons:1. Pathogens are likely to gain entrance into water sporadically, and they do not survive for long periods of time; consequently, they could be missed in a sample submitted to the laboratory.2. If they are present in very small numbers, pathogens are likely to escape detection by laboratory procedures.3. It takes 24 h or longer to obtain results from a laboratory examination."

Cross-absorption studies individualize a large number of antigenic factors, 67 of which are used for serological identification. O factors labeled with the same number are closely related, although not always antigenically identical. Surface (Envelope) Antigen s Surface antigens, commonly observed in other genera of enteric bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli and Klebsiella), may be found in some Salmonella serovars. Surface antigens in Salmonella may mask O antigens, and the bacteria will not be agglutinated with O antisera. One specific surface antigen is well known: the Vi antigen. The Vi antigen occurs in only three Salmonella serovars (out of about 2,200): Typhi, Paratyphi C, and Dublin. Strains of these three serovars may or may not have the Vi antigen.

Opportunistic Infections Bacterial Diarrhea (Salmonellosis, Campylobacteriosis, and Shigellosis)Tweet Share Print Three of the most common bacterial causes of diarrhea in HIV-positive people are organisms belonging to the Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Shigella families. Salmonellosis is the name of the disease caused by Salmonella infection. Studies have demonstrated that HIV-positive people are at a higher risk for salmonellosis, between 20 to 100 times more so than HIV-negative people. Salmonella can enter the body by eating or drinking contaminated food or water or by contact with infected people or animals. The most common sources of Salmonella include contaminated raw poultry, eggs, and unpasteurized milk and cheese products. Other sources of exposure include contact with infected animals, especially turtles, iguanas, other reptiles, chickens, cattle and poultry. Campylobacteriosis is caused by the Campylobacter organism, most notably Campylobacter jejuni. It has been documented in cattle (beef), chickens, birds, and flies. It is sometimes present in non-chlorinated water sources, such as streams and ponds. Oral-anal sex is believed to be another route of Campylobacter transmission."

Bacteria Bacteria are the most important microorganisms to the food processor. Most are harmless, many are highly beneficial, some indicate the probable presence of filth, disease organisms, spoilage and a few cause disease. There are thousands of species of bacteria, but all are single-celled and fall into three basic shapes: spherical, straight rods, and spiral rods. To see them, you need a microscope that magnifies about 1000-fold. All bacteria reproduce by dividing into two cells. The two cells then divide to become 4, 4 become 8, and so forth. Under ideal conditions, this doubling may occur as frequently as every 15 minutes, so that within 5 hours there will be more than a million cells from the original single cell. If there are 1000 original cells instead of a single one, there will be over 1 billion cells in 5 hours. Some rod-shaped bacteria are capable of existing in two forms, dormant spores and active vegetative cells."

Anaerobes outnumber facultative anaerobes. The flora is sparse in the stomach and upper intestine, but luxuriant in the lower bowel. Bacteria occur both in the lumen and attached to the mucosa, but do not normally penetrate the bowel wall . Metabolic Activities Intestinal bacteria are a crucial component of the enterohepatic circulation in which metabolites that are conjugated in the liver and excreted in the bile are deconjugated in the intestine by bacterial enzymes, then absorbed across the mucosa and returned to the liver in the portal circulation. Many drugs and endogenous compounds undergo enterohepatic circulation. Antibiotics that suppress the flora can alter the fecal excretion and hence the blood levels of these compounds. The flora also plays a role in fiber digestion and synthesizes certain vitamins. The Intestinal Microflora The intestinal microflora may prevent infection by interfering with pathogens."

Direct counting methods are easy to perform and do not require highly specialized equipment, but are often slower than other methods. Key Termshemocytometer: A device that counts microscopic particles. The hemocytometer works by creating a volumetric grid divided into differently sized cubes for accurately counting the number of particles in a cube and calculating the concentration of the entire sample.streak plate: A petri dish with a growth medium. Direct Counting of Bacteria Numerous procedures in biology and medicine require that cells be counted. On almost all occasions, what gets counted is actually the concentration of the cells (for example: 5,000 cells per milliliter). By counting the cells in a known volume of a culture, the concentration can be assessed. In medicine, the concentration of various blood cells, such as red blood cells or white blood cells, can give crucial information regarding someone’s health."

"text": "Hektoen Enteric (or HE) Agar Hektoen Enteric Agar is a Selective & Differential Medium . The selective and differential aspects of this complex medium are due to presence of the dyes Acid Fuchsin and Bromthymol Blue, the sugars lactose, sucrose and salicin, and the compounds sodium thiosulfate and ferric ammonium citrate and bile salts. It is Selective because it encourages some bacteria to grow while inhibiting others. The bile salts and the dyes generally inhibit Gram positive bacteria from growing (a few will grow) and generally allowing Gram negative organisms to grow (some will not grow). If good growth, generally you have a Gram negative bacteria. If no growth or poor growth, you most likely have a Gram positive species. The medium is Differential because if any of the sugars is utilized, the acid products will reduce the p H, changing the growth and the media nearby to a yellow, orange, or pinkish color. Strong lactose and sucrose utilization will lower the p H further than weak utilization. If no sugar is metabolized, the p H will remain unchanged and the growth will appear blue-green from the dyes. If the organism does not utilize one of the sugars but does reduce sulfur to hydrogen sulfide, the hydrogen sulfide will react with the ferric ammonium citrate to produce a black precipitate."

In more severe cases, you may suffer complications like weight loss, dehydration and, rarely, death. Intestinal bacterial infections are most often caused by one of several possible bacteria. This type of illness is usually called gastrointestinal infection. Gastrointestinal infection is quite common and isn't usually serious. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramping, bloating, gas and sometimes vomiting. More serious symptoms include bloody diarrhea, fever and long-lasting diarrhea or vomiting. In most cases of this illness treatment is done at home with bland foods and plenty of fluids. When the bacteria infection is more severe or is affecting an individual with other health concerns an antibiotic may be prescribed."

Some strains of E. coli are capable of causingdisease under certain conditions when the immune system is compromised or disease mayresult from an environmental exposure. Description E. coli bacteria may give rise to infections in wounds, the urinary tract, biliary tract, andabdominal cavity ( peritonitis ). This organism may cause septicemia, neonatal meningitis, infantile gastroenteritis, tourist diarrhea, and hemorrhagic diarrhea. An E. coli infection mayalso arise due to environmental exposure. Infections with this type of bacteria pose a seriousthreat to public health with outbreaks arising from food and water that has been contaminatedwith human or animal feces or sewage. This type of bacteria has been used as a biologicalindicator for safety of drinking water since the 1890s. Exposure may also occur duringhospitalization, resulting in pneumonia in immunocompromised patients or those on a ventilator Causes and symptoms The symptoms of infection and resulting complications are dependent upon the strain of E. coliand the site of infection. These bacteria produce toxins that have a wide range of effects."

It is selective culture medium for gram-negative bacteria (selects against gram positive bacteria) and is commonly used for the isolation and differentiation of coliforms and fecal coliforms. EMB media assists in visual distinction Escherichia coli, other nonpathogenic lactose-fermenting enteric gram-negative rods, and the Salmonella and Shigella genera. Escherichia coli colonies in Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) Agar (Note: Greenish Metallic Sheen)Differentiation between these gram negative bacilli is based on the colony color. Colored colonies in Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) Agar: Lactose fermenter Colorless colonies in Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) Agar: Non lactose fermenter The combination of the two dyes eosin and methylene blue inhibits most Gram positive bacteria but allows many Gram negative organisms to grow. Gram negative bacteria that ferment the lactose produce acid which turns the colonies dark purple as the acid acts upon the dyes. In addition, certain lactose-fermenting bacteria produce flat, dark colonies with a green metallic sheen. Other lactose fermenters produce larger, mucoid colonies, often purple only in their center. In EMB agar, most of the strains of E.coli colonies have a characteristic green sheen. Rapid fermentation of lactose & production of strong acids, thus rapid reduction in the p H of the EMB agar the critical factor in the formation of the green metallic sheen observed with E.coli, rapid fermentation of lactose and formation of strong acids."

Shingles, also called herpes zoster or zoster, is a painful skin rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in the body. Usually the virus does not cause any further problems; however, the virus may re-emerge years later, causing shingles. Who gets shingles? Anyone who has recovered from chickenpox may develop shingles, including children. However, shingles most commonly occurs in people 50 years old or older. The risk of getting shingles increases as a person gets older. People who have medical conditions that keep the immune system from working properly, like cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, or people who receive drugs that weaken the immune system, such as steroids and drugs given after organ transplantation, are also at greater risk to get shingles.

This viral disease is very common in adults especially those who have weak immune systems because of having stress, injury and taking various medications. This skin disease is caused by Varicella-zoster virus or what we call the zoster virus, the same virus which is also the main cause of chickenpox. Usually, when a child heals from chickenpox, when he or she reaches adulthood, the virus might still remain in his or her body and lies inactive, and then, it will become active again and here comes the Shingles. Can Shingles be internal and have no rash? Yes, and this will be called as Internal shingles. It may also involve rashes inside the mouth or ear. Eyes, brain, muscle and nerve problems are the main organs involved in this."

Chickenpox can be serious, especially for infants and even for some children. So, it is not worth taking the chance of exposing them to chickenpox. The best way to protect infants and children against chickenpox is to get them vaccinated. Read more about the chickenpox vaccine. Pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, who are not protected against chickenpox and cannot be vaccinated, are more likely to get a serious case of chickenpox. They should stay away from people with chickenpox and should not go to chickenpox parties. Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The virus spreads easily from people with chickenpox to others who have never had the disease or been vaccinated. The virus spreads mainly by touching or breathing in the virus particles that come from chickenpox blisters, and possibly through tiny droplets from infected people that get into the air after they breathe or talk, for example."

Like other herpes-type viruses, it likes to hide from your immune system, retreating to your nervous system where it is safe from attack. And vericella can come back years or decades later as shingles. It follows your nerves, which is why the rash is limited to an area served by a nerve, almost always on one side. Now, here's what's interesting. If you have never had chickenpox or been vaccinated, and you are exposed to someone who has shingles, you can't get shingles from them. You can't get shingles from them because shingles is the virus crawling out of the nervous system."

Flag When is shingles no longer contagious? Answer by Laurel Harper Confidence votes 464The medical term for the condition \"\"shingles\"\" is herpes-zoster and it's caused by the varicella-zoster virus, or VZV. VZV is a member of the herpesvirus family and is responsible for both chicken pox (initial infection) and herpes zoster (reactivated infection). VZV is no longer contagious once the open blisters have crusted over and there's no more drainage. Understand that h. zoster isn't contagious. This is a condition that results when VZV is reactivated. If some one who has not previously been exposed to VZV should transmit this virus to his own respiratory tract, this person would contract chicken pox, not h. zoster. H. zoster cannot occur unless a person has first had chicken pox. The virus must already be in the system and because VZV belongs to the herpesvirus family, it will remain in the body for life.274 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Follow 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You are contagious! Stay home! There is no known way to prevent shingles. Anyone who has had chickenpox may get shingles later in life. However, you can avoid getting the virus that causes both chickenpox and later shingles by receiving the varicella vaccine currently recommended for preventing chickenpox. It is possible that the varicella vaccine may boost immunity to shingles in those who have had chickenpox as children or adults who have had shingles before. Studies of older adults and the prevention of shingles with this vaccine continue. 9 If you have never had chickenpox, avoid contact with people who have shingles or chickenpox. Fluid from shingles blisters is contagious, and exposure to it can cause chickenpox (but not shingles) in people who have never had chickenpox."

Unlike chickenpox, which is known to be very itchy and uncomfortable, shingles symptoms are usually more painful since shingles affects nerves in the skin and can cause various flu-like symptoms that last for weeks. Shingles is actually very common, especially among older adults, and you’re likely more susceptible than you might think. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost one out of three people in the U. S. will develop shingles at some point. ( 1)It’s estimated that more than 90 percent of adults in the U. S. carry VZV and are therefore at risk for the development of shingles. ( 2) As you get older, your risk goes up, since studies show that most people (over half) who develop shingles are over the age of 60. This is why adults 60 or older are often advised to get vaccinated against the shingles virus — although as you’ll learn, this isn’t always necessary and shingles natural treatment approaches (like using antiviral herbs) can also be effective for prevention. Although shingles (also sometimes called herpes zoster) is caused by carrying a virus, certain risk factors make people more susceptible to its effects. Having the virus alone doesn’t guarantee that shingles will develop, and even if it does, certain preventative measures can help keep it from returning once it’s cleared up. What are some of the most common risk factors for developing shingles symptoms?"

Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, it most often appears as a single stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles. While it isn't a life-threatening condition, shingles can be very painful. Vaccines can help reduce the risk of shingles, while early treatment can help shorten a shingles infection and lessen the chance of complications.

Spending time on the grill also gives ribs a smoky flavor. Choose either baby back or spare ribs, find your favorite spice rub and barbecue sauce and you're ready to cook up perfect, juicy ribs. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Use a sharp knife to cut loose one edge of the silver skin, the thin membrane found on the bone side of the ribs. Grab the edge with a paper towel and pull off the entire silver skin. Discard the skin. Step 2Massage your favorite spice rub into the ribs, rubbing the mixture all over every part of the ribs. Place the ribs in a large zip-top plastic bag and set the bag in the refrigerator for two hours. Step 3Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the bag of ribs from the refrigerator and let the ribs come to room temperature while the oven preheats."

Beef ribs can be both tough to eat and difficult to prepare. Cooked improperly they are too chewy to enjoy. Cooked properly they are tender and delicious. The secret with BBQ beef ribs, like all barbecue, is to cook them low and slow. By smoking your beef ribs, you are going to get the best-flavored ribs possible.

"text": "Meat cutting and utilization of meat cuts VARIATIONS IN THE SENSORIC QUALITY OF MEATLarge differences exist in the tenderness, juiciness and flavour of the various meat animal carcasses because of breeding, age, feeding and management. Within each animal carcasses and associated with the different muscles there are variations in tenderness that dictate how different cuts of meat should be prepared to yield the most palatable foods. Because of these differences in tenderness, juiciness and flavour, each meat cut should be merchandised according to its availability and palatability characteristics. Consequently, different prices should be charged for different cuts from the various meat animals so that consumers have choices. The tenderloin of beef is a relatively small cut and therefore of limited quantity but it is extremely tender and requires a minimum of cooking. Generally it is high-priced because of its high quality and consumer demand for a cut that is easy to prepare and serve. Roasts from the chuck or shoulder of beef are less tender than the tenderloin; however, when properly prepared by pot-roasting, they too will be tender, juicy, flavourful and will provide good nutritional value. Because there are more kilograms of chuck roast on any one beef carcass and because they require more time and effort to cook correctly, chuck roasts do not and should not demand the same high price per kilogram as tenderloin. Throughout the world, countries have varied natural resources and capabilities for producing livestock and different methods must be used to utilize all meat products correctly and completely whether they are cut from cattle, goats, sheep, swine, deer or other animals and whether they come from the tender or less tender parts of those animals. In order to get the maximum eating satisfaction and also the maximum nutritional value, each cut must be matched with the correct cooking procedure."

This brine-boiling method shaves time off cooking ribs and chicken legs – and with delicious results. Here’s how: Use up to 10 whole chicken legs, 3 racks of pork ribs (spare, St. Louis–style, or baby back, each rack cut in half), or 6 pounds of beef short ribs (English-cut, meaning the ribs are cut between the bones). See More: Quick, One-Pot Meal Ideas To Feed the Whole Family…Boil in Brine In a stockpot, bring 6 quarts water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup each sugar and coarse salt until dissolved. Add smashed unpeeled cloves from 1 head garlic and meat; boil until cooked through and tender at bone, 20 minutes for chicken, 30 minutes for pork ribs, and 40 minutes for beef ribs.…Drain and Dry Transfer meat to a wire rack and let stand to dry, 5 minutes. Heat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush meat with olive oil; generously season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper (or sprinkle with a dry rub, if desired).…Finish on the Grill Brush hot grates with oil and grill meat, turning a few times, until charred in spots, 5 to 10 minutes.

Score the top of each rib by cutting grooves (¼-inch deep) perpendicular to the rib bone every ½-inch. These cuts will provide more surface area for the flavorful rub. In a small bowl, mix the dry rub ingredients. Apply a generous coat of dry rub to all sides of each rib. Build a charcoal fire on one side of grill, such that the coals are situated on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. This will create an area for lower temperature, indirect cooking away from the coals. Place beef ribs on the grill (bone side down) away from the coals and cook with indirect heat (approximately 275˚F) for 1½ hours, or until internal temperature of beef reaches 160˚F. Remove ribs from grill and place them in the center of a doubled sheet of aluminum foil with meat side facing down. Pour stock mixture over ribs and wrap tight in foil, trapping juice inside. Return the foil pack to the grill for 1 hour, or until internal temperature of beef reaches 200˚F. Remove foil package from grill and let beef rest in the foil for 15 minutes before removing."

Of course, butchers have a tendency to call some of these cuts by several names, adding more confusion to the novice shopper. Unlike pork ribs, beef ribs have less fat than pork. While the fat in pork ribs act as a basting method, beef ribs will need more of your attention in order to keep them moist and tender. Keep one thing in mind when choosing beef ribs…the toughest cuts offer the best flavor. If you love the hearty flavor that beef offers, beef ribs are well worth the extra effort. Understanding the various types of beef ribs will help guarantee a perfect succulent beef rib. Basically, there are two types of beef ribs, back ribs and short ribs. A steer has 13 ribs on each side."

Stephen Jones • July 12, 2011 • 12 Comments Shedding Some Light on Barbecue Ask ten people in ten different cities what “barbecue” is, and you will likely get ten different answers. Some will say it’s just grilling. Others might talk about smoking or steaming. Some say barbecue means beef. Others will call foul and say that pork is the meat of choice when it comes to barbecue. Like many aspects of cooking, everyone has their own definition of what barbecue is and most often this comes from where they grew up and how their parents barbecued at home. In our family, we love barbecued ribs. I started doing a little research in preparation for making some the other day, and the more I read, the more confused I became. I went into it sure that I would be able to make some Kansas City style ribs for dinner, and came away with a lot of questions: Do I really have to have a smoker?

As long as there is a source of electricity, such as a generator, an electric roaster can do the work of those larger devices in about the same amount of time. Cooking beef ribs, which usually have a limited amount of meat on them, requires braising before roasting to make the ribs as fall-off-the-bone tender as possible. Step 1Remove the beef ribs from the packaging. On a cutting board, cut the beef ribs into two- or three-rib sections using a sharp knife, such as a boning knife. Trim away any excess fat as well. Rinse the ribs under cool running water to remove any bone fragments or excess blood. Pat dry with paper towel and let the ribs sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow for more even cooking. Step 2Lightly coat the cookwell of the roaster pan with spray vegetable oil. Place the roasting rack into the roaster and coat it with vegetable oil as well."

Actually, you can grill any time of the year. Once we lost power for three days during a snow storm. I had to cook stuff that was thawing in the freezer so I boiled pasta on the side burner and heated the sauce and meatballs on our electric grill. These ribs are oven baked so no need to fire up the grill. Beef short ribs are covered with onions and BBQ sauce and slow-cooked in the oven. They are seriously mouth watering but I hesitate to call them ribs. These ribs may not give you that gnawing on a bone rib eatin’ satisfaction but they are truly spectacular.

"text": "How to Bake Beef Ribs Beef ribs refer to the portions of chops that contain more bones and less meat. These are commonly used when preparing barbecue dishes. Aside from grilling, another way of cooking this meat cut is by baking. To be sure that you will retain the natural flavor of the chops, it is important to learn how to bake beef ribs perfectly. In addition, you should also know some baked beef ribs recipes. Recommended Baking Time and Temperature To retain the juices of the meat, it is beneficial to know the recommended baking time and temperature for the ribs. When baking the meat, make sure that the temperature ranges from 200 degrees Fahrenheit to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid the meat from being overcooked. As you increase the temperature, remember to shorten the baking time. For instance, if you plan to bake the meat in 200 degrees Fahrenheit, you can let it stay inside the oven for two hours to four hours. However, if you will cook the meat in an oven that was preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the recommended time is within 45 minutes to an hour."

I hope so—you should. After decades of playing backup to the omnipresent, uber-popular pork baby back and sparerib, the beef rib has finally achieved star status of its own. It’s about time.

Shutters will not flap in the breeze like curtains Shutters will never get caught in the doors like curtains Shutters block the light when needed Shutters do not swing and sway like vertical blinds Shutter will not need dry cleaning Shutters are permanent and almost maintenance free Rolling shutters are suspended overhead on an easy-glide aluminum track that is installed on the wall over the doors. The carriers are nylon wheels that do not jam or skip but allow perfectly smooth function of the shutters. With adequate wall space the shutters can roll off to either side of the door revealing the full view and maximum available light. The shutters do not bi-fold like closet doors but rather roll back on the track, parallel to the wall taking very little space in front of the doors. The diagram shows a detail of the track and how the shutters install on the glass sliding door, but do not hesitate to give us a call before measuring. We can walk through the steps for measuring and the installation by phone. Your shutters will be painted or stained the color you specify. They will arrive with all necessary hardware and a diagram for installation."

"text": "What You Need To Know About Impact Resistant Windows Before Buying Hurricane Windows For Your House If you live in a home where hurricanes occasionally roll through, you should take precautions to prepare your windows to take on the damaging winds and flying debris associated with hurricanes. Every time a hurricane is about to make landfall somewhere along the Gulf coast or Atlantic seaboard, we see stories on the news of homeowners nailing plywood over their windows to protect them. Sure, plywood is one way to protect your windows. But there are better methods and more technically advanced products that you can use to protect the windows of your home — if you live in a hurricane prone area. There are 2 great ways to protect your windows against hurricane-force winds (other than plywood): Install hurricane shutters on all the windows — there are a few different kinds.

A window is an opening in a wall, door, roof or vehicle that allows the passage of light, sound, and air.

Windows often have a latch or similar mechanism to lock the window shut or to hold it open by various amounts.

"text": "Posted by: oceanviewwindows | 2009/02/12The History of Impact Glass The History of Impact Glass General information Born in the 1930s, when a consortium of companies was asked to develop a clear, tough, adhesive material that could be manufactured efficiently into automobile windshields, laminated glass has become a necessity in the arsenal of building products. Not only does it provide the means for creating soaring winter gardens and light-filled concert halls, but it also offers a solution to many of today’s complex building demands. But it was not until relatively recently that authorities appreciated the fact that laminated glass plays a critical role as safeguard against natural hazards such as hurricanes. In 1992, after Hurricane Andrew ripped through South Florida, Miami-Dade County was the first to act on the need for building code requirements that address impact resistant glazing products. Since then, a number of states along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts have followed suit with the result that there are now hundreds of products on the market, and even more expected. Since laminated glass is a critical component of glazing systems designed to withstand hurricane-force wind and rain, an understanding and familiarity regarding its testing and wide-ranging benefits, is fast becoming essential. A Wake-Up Call The second most costly catastrophe in the U. S.— Hurricane Katrina is the first—Hurricane Andrew claimed 65 lives, destroyed or severely damaged 600,000 homes and businesses and caused more than $25 billion in property damage. Post-storm investigations by the Dade County Building Code Evaluation Task Force determined that the most significant hurricane damage was from the loss of integrity of the building envelope when the exterior of a structure was breached. And that the leading cause of the severe property destruction was window and door penetration caused by debris blown by the 145 mph winds. Subsequent reviews of damage documentation, insurance records, and computer simulations of building failures confirmed the decisive role of windborne debris in causing damage, reports Joseph E. Minor, P. E., F. ASCE in the Journal of Architectural Engineering, Vol."

"text": "Retrospect Quick History: Window Glass Anna Hoffman Jan 27, 2012Share Email Caspar David Friedrich, Woman At A Window (1822) There was a time not so long ago that glass was a precious material, so highly valued that only the wealthiest homes had glass in their windows. And for millennia, of course, people had no glass at all in their windows. So how did we get here from there? Glassmaking was remarkably advanced during the Roman era, and many ancient homes had glass-paned windows. The earliest windows were panes of glassy pebbles laid on a wooden frame — these would let some light through, but probably weren't that transparent. Clear glass panes were first invented in the late 3rd century CE, when glassmakers would blow a cylindrical bubble of glass and then slice it lengthwise and flatten out the results. During the so-called Dark Ages, this technology, like so many other technologies and comforts known before the Fall of Rome, somehow got lost. While cathedrals across Europe made use of stained glass for their windows, domestic windows were totally unglazed, with only wooden shutters to keep out the cold. Some people took thin animal hides (or parchment) and soaked them in oil to make them as translucent as possible. They also had to keep their windows (and doors) pretty small, to minimize the drafts, and whenever possible, curtains or mats further helped with insulation."

Use a tape measure or extendable slide rule to measure the width of the window opening at the base, middle, and top. Write down the smallest of these measurements as the width. Be sure to measure from the surface of the jambs or frame, not from the short extensions that hold the window in place. [ 1]A slide rule with extension may result in more accurate interior measurements. [ 2] If you are using a tape measure, make sure you account for the width of the tape measure itself, which is usually printed on its label.2 Account for the lining around the window if present. Your window may be surrounded by a plastic or aluminum jamb liner that slots around its vertical sides. This will be removed before the replacement window is installed, so measure its width and add it to the width of the window opening.

A new, fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference on your house and make it look like new!As far as not wanting to go from a lighter color to a darker, what you read wasn't just a biased opinion on decor, it's actually a bit more scientific. Painting vinyl shutters a shade that is darker than it's original color will cause it to absorb more heat than it's meant to, and this will lead to the vinyl rapidly expanding and contracting, and eventually buckling. Most vinyl shutters that you will see on homes are lighter colors, rarely will you see black. Light colors such as white reflect light much better than darker colors like black which absorb light, this is called the objects albedo (if you wish to really get scientific)."

"text": "Doors & Windows Open Up Your Closets with Bi-Fold Doors By Donna Boyle Schwartz Photo: Closet Maid Sliding closet doors are a common installation in American homes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best option. If you’re looking for a space-saving alternative, one that will enhance the look of your closets and provide easier access to their interior space, then consider installing bi-fold closet doors. Bi-fold closet doors are easy to install and offer myriad options, including basic flat-panel looks, traditional six-panel designs, louver- or shutter-style panels, and contemporary mirrored panels, not to mention doors with glass inserts. All bi-fold closet doors are similar in construction, consisting of two symmetrical door panels that pull outward from a center pivot hinge. Mounted on the sides of a closet opening, these doors allow access to the entire closet—not one half of the closet at a time, as is the case with sliding doors. Also, because bi-fold doors do not swing, they take up less floor space than a conventional hinged door, making them ideal for installation in tight spaces like a hallway. Photo: homeguides.sfgate.com Most large home improvement stores sell bi-fold closet doors in standard sizes to fit a typical opening; many also sell reasonably-priced kits that include the door panels, installation tracks, installation hardware, and door pulls or knobs. These kits come with diagrams that show how the hardware should be positioned on the door frame and on the door panels. Following the diagram will ensure that the pieces are correctly installed and that the doors work properly.

Door in Georgia The doors of The National Archives Building in Washington, D. C. A door is a moving mechanism used to block off and allow access to, an entrance to or within an enclosed space, such as a building, room or vehicle. Doors normally consist of one or two solid panels, with or without windows, that swing using hinges horizontally. These hinges are attached to the door's edge but there are also doors that slide, fold or spin. The main purpose of a door is to control physical access. Doors are significant in preventing the spread of fire and as a barrier to noise. Many doors are equipped with locking mechanisms to allow entrance to certain people and keep out others. When opened, doors can allow people, animals, ventilation or light to pass through."

"text": "A DNA sibling test compares the genetic material (DNA) of one person to that of another person to determine the likelihood that they are related biologically as siblings. In most cases, sibling tests are performed to determine paternity—whether or not the two individuals have the same biological father. This often happens in situations where the possible father is deceased, incarcerated, unwilling or otherwise unavailable to participate in a paternity test. In a legal setting, sibling DNA test results are often presented by mothers to obtain Social Security survivor benefits for their child. In such cases, the biological father of one child is undisputed and the mother needs to prove that the other child has the same father. Sibling DNA tests are also frequently performed to provide evidence of biological relationship for U. S. immigration applications. In rare cases, such as those where a child was given up for adoption, a sibling test may also be performed to address whether another individual (perhaps located many years later), has the same biological mother. Types of DNA Sibling Tests Two individuals who have the same biological parents are called full siblings, whereas two individuals who share only one biological parent in common are called half siblings. On average, full siblings share 50% of their genes due to common inheritance, whereas half siblings share 25%. There are 3 different types of DNA sibling tests, which are based on the particular parental relationship (s) in question: Full Siblings vs. Unrelated."

She studied law at Chicago-Kent College of Law, and was a past Student Fellow at the Institute for Science,Law and Technology. In 1987, Tommie Lee Andrews became the first American ever convicted in a case that utilized DNA evidence. On February 21, 1987, a stranger broke into a Florida woman's home in the middle of the night and burglarized and raped the woman at knife-point. DNA samples of semen retrieved from the crime scene matched blood drawn from Andrews, a serial rapist, who is now serving a twenty-two year prison sentence for rape, aggravated burglary and burglary. At that time, no state had a DNA databank. However, after witnessing the power of DNA evidence, state courts and state legislatures would soon grapple with the issue of whether DNA evidence should be admitted at trial as identity evidence and whether establishing state DNA databanks would be feasible and of value to law enforcement. A review of current law reveals that almost every state has embraced and institutionalized the utilization of DNA fingerprinting for crime fighting purposes. For example, just ten years after the Andrews case was decided, all fifty states had laws requiring DNA samples from at least convicted sex offenders. Also, the FBI reports that in the last decade, forensic DNA evidence has been relied upon in over 6800 cases. Virginia's Story In 1989, the Virginia Division of Forensic Sciences implemented DNA testing in its criminal investigations, becoming the first state crime lab to introduce such a policy."

As with a DNA paternity test, an analysis for a close relationship looks for matches between DNA profiles but with this important difference: not all locations will necessarily show a match. THE DNA RESULTS STATEMENTResults are reported with one of three possible statements. For example, if we tested John Doe, alleged uncle, and James Doe (child-nephew), our relationship report might say one of the following: The DNA data support the biological relationship. This means that John Doe is likely to be the uncle of James Doe, or that a brother of John Doe is likely to be the father of James Doe. The results conclusively support the biological relationship, in the absence of a direct paternity test. The DNA data are inconclusive and neither support or refute a biological relationship. This means that DNA profiles do not give enough information about the biological relationship to draw a conclusion. The DNA data do not support the biological relationship. This means that John Doe is most likely not the uncle of James Doe, or that a brother of John Doe is most likely not the father of James Doe."

The etiology (cause) of MS remains unknown, but it is increasingly recognized that genes, environment, and interactions thereof are all important. Thus, while it is clear that genes have roles in MS susceptibility and probably disease progression, understanding and dissecting the relative roles of genes and environment remain topics of intensive research.

DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a long, spiral-shaped molecule that carries our genetic information. Humans have approximately three billion base pairs of DNA. Just as letters of the alphabet are building blocks for words, DNA is the building block for genes ( http://www.genetics.com.au ).

It always adds up to 50:50, but if you have a gene where the father has the two versions A and a and the mother has the two versions B and b, you could have siblings that end up with AB, Ab, a B, or ab. Each sibling has one version of the gene from their mother and one from their father, but the combinations are different. The same's true for every gene, because how the chromosome sections separate out as the egg and sperm cells are formed is essentially random.

"text": "\"« Egypt vs. Indonesia in attitudes Your genome is mine! (?) » Why siblings differ differently By Razib Khan | February 3, 2011 1:54 pm The Pith: In this post I examine how looking at genomic data can clarify exactly how closely related siblings really are, instead of just assuming that they’re about 50% similar. I contrast this randomness among siblings to the hard & fast deterministic nature of of parent-child inheritance. Additionally, I detail how the idealized spare concepts of genetics from 100 years ago are modified by what we now know about how genes are physically organized, and, reorganized. Finally, I explain how this clarification allows us to potentially understand with greater precision the nature of inheritance of complex traits which vary within families, and across the whole population. Humans are diploid organisms. We have two copies of each gene, inherited from each parent (the exception here is for males, who have only one X chromosome inherited from the mother, and lack many compensatory genes on the Y chromosome inherited from the father). Our own parents have two copies of each gene, one inherited from each of their parents. Therefore, one can model a grandchild from two pairs of grandparents as a mosaic of the genes of the four ancestral grandparents. But, the relationship between grandparent and grandchild is not deterministic at any given locus."

As such, Sicilians are arguably ethnically distinct from Italians, despite the fact that Sicily is part of Italy and its people are nowadays Italian-speaking Catholics. Due to the heavier Greek ancestry and also the presence of Phoenician/Arab ancestry, Sicilians are known for being somewhat darker than most other Italians, and have more pronounced Mediterranean facial features (i.e. fuller lips, thicker eyebrows, larger noses, etc.). However, Sicilians may also have blond/red hair, light eyes, and fair skin courtesy of Norman, French, or northern Italian ancestors.

Although most Sicilians today speak standard Italian, the traditional Sicilian language was considered by linguists to be different enough from standard Italian to be its own Romance language, albeit with Greek, Arab, French, Spanish, and other influences due to the many conquerors/settlers that arrived in Sicily.1st guy: Al Pacino is probably the greatest Italian-American actor of all time.

The Staunton game set that many people use today was created in 1849 by Nathan Cook and made popular by famous chess player Howard Staunton.

"text": "\"Attack and Defense in the Dragon GM Bryan Smith Feb 23, 2012, 12:00 AM |65 | Middlegame There are different schools of thought on how a chess player should structure their opening repertoire. Many of the top players nowadays seem to play a huge variety of different openings, each picked to match a particular opponent or a particular competitive situation. I think part of the reason is that top players want to create a ‘moving target’ for their opponents’ preparation. This is understandable, since they may play each other ten or more times a year, and because of the advent of computer databases and the general increase in information it has become much easier to prepare for a specific opponent. While playing a different opening in every game has the advantage that it makes it harder for opponents to prepare against you, it has the obvious disadvantage that you will have less knowledge – and, more importantly, less of a ‘feel’ for the type of position than you would if you were more consistent. Personally, I think a player who is not at the very top level does best to have one or two defenses to each white opening that he sticks to, and thus learns to understand and know like they are his ‘home’. I have always felt that this is the best for me, and have spent some time trying to find ‘my’ openings. Although my opponents can and do prepare for me (especially in tournaments in Europe, where the pairings are announced the day before), their preparations are not as sophisticated as those of the world’s top players, and therefore the result of the game still comes down to who understands the position better, in addition – of course – to such things as nerves and competitive form. For a long time I played the French Defense as black against 1.e4. At some point I began playing the Sicilian too."

Jun 2, 2010 9:03:00 AM / by Mango Languages Tweet Lately, a few of us around the office have been bugging the product development team (jokingly) to come out with a Sicilian course. This begs the question, isn’t Sicilian just a dialect of Italian? It turns out there is actually a good deal of debate over this subject. Some linguists believe that Sicilian may have actually been the first Romance Language, arising from a vulgar form of Latin spoken by Roman military men and everyday people. It is placed in the Italiano meridionale-estremo group of languages along with the Greek influenced Calabrian dialects of southern Italy, and actually has at least eleven regional dialects of its own. The Sicilian language has been shaped by many years of foreign influence, occupation, and conquest. Unlike Italian, which is almost entirely Latin based, Sicilian has elements of Greek, Arabic, French, Catalan, and Spanish. This can be seen in many Sicilian words, like “azzizzari” (to embellish, adorn) from the Arabic “aziz” (beautiful), or “foddi” (angry), which can be traced to the Norman French “fol. ”Grammatically, Sicilian is also very different from Italian."

The ancestry of the modern domestic donkey lies in three African wild asses, the Nubian, Somali, and North African. Hybridization between the Nubian and Somali also resulted in today’s domestic donkey. There are three breeds of donkey recognized by North American registries; the Miniature, Standard, and Large Standard. Description The Sicilian donkey is a miniature breed of domestic donkey, standing only 28-38 inches tall at the withers. They usually weigh between 250 and 450 pounds. The most common color is gray, but they can range from black, brown, chestnut, white, or spotted. The Sicilian breed is noted for a cross-shaped marking along the back beginning at the base of the neck. Legend says that Jesus rode a Sicilian donkey and that is the reason for the cross-shaped marking. Natural History Domestic donkeys have retained a lot of the aggression of the wild ancestors."

Homer called the island Thrinakie, (Θρινακιη.). The island is the location of much Greek mythology although it is represented to us as having taken place in the various ancient cities of Greater Greece rather than in Sicily per se. The ancient city of Syracuse on its southeastern shore used the trinakria on its coinage. Virgil (70-19 B. C.) mentions Trinacria in his epic poem that we know as The Aeneid, the work commissioned by Caesar Augustus to commemorate his victory at the battle of Actium in 31 B. C. Meglio cercare le cime del trinacrio Pachino fuggendo, e lunga piegar tutt'intorno la rotta, che orrenda solo unna volta nell'antro terribile scorgere Scilla, e gli scogli assordati dai lividi Inoltre, se pur preveggenza Eleno vate possiede, se gli puoi credere, e l'animo gli riempie Apollo del vero, una cosa a te, figlio di Venere, avanti a tutte una sola proclamerò, rinnovando ancora e ancora il consiglio: della grande Giunone pregando il nume adora per primo, a Giunone di cuore fa' voti e la sovrana potente colma di supplici doni: cosi vittorioso alla fine potrai lasciar la Trinacria, salpar per l'Italia. Virgilio, Eneide, Einaudi Tascabil, Torino, 1989, 581 pp. --traduzione da Rosa Calzecchi,Onesti. Better to seek the summits of Trinacrian Pachynus avoiding the straits by taking the long way around, than to glimpse, even once, in the frightful cavern Scylla, and the rocks resounding to vicious canine growls. Moreover, if Helenus possesses foreknowledge, if you can believe him, and the mind of Apollo be filled with truth, first of all, one thing to thee, son of Venus, one only will I proclaim, repeating the advice again and again: begin your prayers to great god Juno, to Juno make your fervent prayers and the sovereign potentate fill with suppliant gifts: thereby successful in the end you can embark from Trinacria, and sail for Italy. --translated by Arthur Dieli A pie chart graphically shows the duration of potential linguistic influences on Sicilian language and culture, based on the number of years that a particular foreign language group dominated the island."

"text": "\"Home History of Sicily The history of Sicily has seen Sicily usually controlled by greater powers—Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, Islamic, Hohenstaufen, Catalan, Spanish—but also experiencing short periods of independence, as under the Greeks and later as the Emirate then Kingdom of Sicily. Although today part of the Republic of Italy, it has its own distinct culture. Sicily is both the largest region of the modern state of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its central location and natural resources ensured that it has been considered a crucial strategic location due in large part to its importance for Mediterranean trade routes. For example, the area was highly regarded as part of Magna Graecia, with Cicero describing Siracusa as the greatest and most beautiful city of all Ancient Greece. The economic history of rural Sicily has focused on its \"\"latifundia economy\"\" caused by the centrality of large, originally feudal, estates used for cereal cultivation and animal husbandry that developed in the 14th century and persisted until World War II. At times the island has been at the heart of great civilizations, at other times it has been nothing more than a colonial backwater. Its fortunes have often waxed and waned depending on events out of its control, in earlier times a magnet for immigrants, in later times a land of emigrants. Sicily is part of the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy, including Sicily and often Sardinia), a region historically characterized by a predominantly agrarian economy, quasi-feudal land tenure, sharp class differences, and the vendettas and criminal activities of the Camorra in Naples and the Mafia in Sicily. Topography of Sicily Sicily has roughly triangular shape, which earned it the name Trinacria."

It’s mainly known as the cradle of the Italian mafia, but just thinking of Sicily as ‘mafia-island’ would almost be considered a cultural cruelty. Sicily boasts five of the biggest archeological Unesco sites, has several excellent, Blue Flag-rated beaches and has 11 Michelin-starred restaurants, just to cite a few numerical details. What makes the island different from the rest of Italy is its multicultural society, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. As a result, Sicily is home of a stunning selection of architectural splendors, dating from ancient Greek and Roman times to impressive Baroque cathedrals and monasteries. Historic sights, such as the Val di Noto and Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica, attract visitors from throughout the world. During a visit to the island, you will be surprised by the many facets of Sicily’s enchanting landscapes, often wild and untouched, but always charming in their simplicity. A special mention goes out to Sicilian beaches due to its coasts which surpasses 620 miles (1,000 km) — or even 931 miles (1,500 km), if the smaller islands are included!This ‘top 10 places to visit in Sicily’ (also make sure to check out this Top 10 for Tuscany) starts in the Sicilian capital Palermo, and will take you across the island to Lampedusa, which is the southernmost part of Italy.1. Palermo — The historical markets (Vucciria, Ballarò, il Capo, Borgo Vecchio)If you want to have a taste of the authentic Sicilian life, take a trip to one of Palermo’s markets! Locals and tourists alike come to peruse and shop for fresh vegetables, fish and fruit, possibly tasting the food specialties as breads and cheeses, but definitely taking part in the ritual of strolling around the narrow medieval streets and buying something “slow food km 0”."

This high quality sign comes in aluminum and polystyrene, both of which will last for years, posted inside of outside a designated space. Most workplaces actually have areas which can be considered to be confined since the way they have been engineered and built causes them to be restrictive of the movement of employees. Indeed, OSHA defines one of these spaces as being one which hinders the activities of staff members who enter, exit and work in these areas. Thus, these areas are not meant for continual occupation. In order to find out if your business has a confined space, managers and business owners should look into the OSHA regulations which state that there are many kinds of areas that would be legally considered to be confined. Some examples include underground vaults, storage bins, pits, manholes, tanks, pipelines, process tubes and silos. If you business has any of these, you must post a sign designating it as a confined space. By doing your due diligence, you will protect your employees from injury and protect yourself from being fined upon inspection thanks to these signs for a confined space."

"text": "Confined Space Entry Training Online and On-Site What is Confined Space Entry Training? For many industries, confined space entry training is an important part of a comprehensive training program. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA) “Confined space” means a space that: Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Many employers have Confined Spaces on their work sites, and are not sure which safety standards apply to them, and what the requirements are for employee training. Understanding what OSHA expects from employers from a regulatory standpoint is the first step. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.146 states the scope and application of permit-required confined spaces. It requires specific training, procedures, and documentation for work in and around Confined Spaces. Training will give employers and employees this critical information. Information about Entry Permits, required written programs, and rescue planning are covered. Proper Confined Space Entry Training will show employers and employees what the principal hazards are in Confined Spaces, and how to protect themselves from them."

The OSHA.com Confined Space Entry Training course is based on the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 permit-required confined space standards for general industry. NEWLY UPDATED Confined Space Entry Training for Construction course updated for the new Subpart AA of 29 CFR 1926 which aims to prevent construction workers from being involved in accidents or injuries that are related to confined space hazards. Course Description Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. A confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to underground vaults, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, and pipelines. OSHA uses the term “permit-required confined space” (permit space) to describe a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrant; has walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate an entrant; or contains any other recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress."

"text": "OSHA Issues New Construction Confined Space Standard By Tressi L. Cordaro on May 5, 2015Effective August 3, 2015, the construction industry will have its own dedicated Confined Spaces Standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) similar to already well-established standards which cover general industry. The new standard covers all construction employers whose employees may be subject to confined space hazards, with the exception of specialized construction activities (excavations, underground construction, caissons, cofferdams, compressed air and diving) which are separately regulated. Previous to this standard, OSHA only had one training requirement for confined spaces applicable to the construction industry which it conceded was inadequate. It differs from the General Industry Standard in that it incorporates construction specific provisions, reflects advances in technology, and improved enforceability of the requirements. The new standard places emphasis on training, monitoring/evaluating, and communications requirements. A confined space constitutes a space which has the following three characteristics: it is large enough for a worker; it has limited entry and exit; it is not designed for continuous occupancy. The new confined space in construction standard in §1926.1201 (a) gives over 30 examples of confined spaces, although even that list is not exhaustive. Common examples include bins, boilers, manholes, tanks, storm drains and air conditioning ducts. Additionally, a confined space may also qualify as a permit required confined space (permit space) if it presents other potential dangers, such as a hazardous atmosphere, an engulfment hazard, or other serious hazard which might impede a worker exiting the space. Other provisions apply to a permit space, such as if employers require employees to enter permit spaces, they will first be required to have a written confined space program."

"text": "\"\"\"Pasture Raised\"\"The vast majority of animals raised for food in the U. S. are not raised on pasture. They are either continually confined indoors or in crowded feedlot for many months. A “pasture raised” claim suggests that the animals were raised on or with access to a pasture. However, government agencies that oversee food labeling do not have a common standard for a “pasture raised” claim and do not require third-party verification or on-farm inspection. When the “pasture raised” claim appears on a label, consumers should look for additional labels that provide assurance that the “pasture raised” claim is meaningful and verified (see below). What this claim means A “pasture raised” claim on meat, poultry, dairy, or egg labels means that the animals were raised for at least some portion of their lives on pasture or with access to a pasture, not continually confined indoors. Raising animals on pasture is not the industry standard; the vast majority of dairy cows and beef cattle are confined indoors or in outdoor feedlots for a portion of their lives and fed a high-grain feed ration, rather than being allowed to graze on pasture. The vast majority of chickens and pigs are raised inside with no access to the outdoors. However, government agencies have no common standard that producers have to meet to make a “pasture raised” claim on a food label, no definition for “pasture,” and no requirement for the claim to be verified through on-farm inspections. On beef and dairy products, a “pasture raised” claim on the label does not mean that the cows derived all their nutrition from grazing on pasture or that they were 100 percent grass fed."

"text": "\"How do I determine if I'm dealing with a \"\"Confined Space\"\"? In order for a work area to be defined as a confined space it must meet all three of the following criteria:1) Limited Openings for Entry and Exit. A confined space may be difficult to enter and perform repair work, or general maintenance. If something goes wrong while you are inside a confined space, escape/rescue may be difficult. Just because a work area has more than one way of escape, does not necessarily mean it is not a confined space. If the space has limited ways to get in and out, it could be a confined space. A open top tank would have limited openings for entry and exit.2) The Space is not Intended for Continuous Human Occupancy. This means that the space was designed to hold something other than people. Examples include tanks and manholes.3) The Space is Large Enough for You to Enter and Conduct Work. If you cannot fit your body into the space you cannot become trapped inside."

NUCA Competent Person Class Description Excavation is the most dangerous of all construction operations. More workers are killed or seriously injured in and around excavations than in other phases of construction work, and that’s why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a competent person to oversee all excavation and trenching jobsites. The competent person must have specific training in, and be knowledgeable about, soil analysis, the use of protective systems, and the requirements of OSHA Subpart P. NUCA’s Excavation Safety Competent Person Training program helps contractors train the competent person and workers. Although the responsibility for designating a competent person is the sole responsibility of the contractor, this program is designed to simplify the task by providing participants with the information and training needed to become a competent person. The program includes the scope and application of Subpart P—Excavation Standard; definitions; general requirements; requirements for protective systems; soil classification; and handling an OSHA inspection. Each participant receives a training manual that includes a complete copy of the Excavation Standard. Price $150 for NUCA members; $175 for non-members NUCA Confined Space Training Description Millions of employees who enter into confined spaces each year face a significant risk of injury or death.

The vapors, especially when trapped in an enclosed space, may exist in concentrations that can be hazardous to first responders and others. This page describes: The most common approaches and types of consumer products and chemicals used The signs to look for at the event scene and the hazards emergency responders may encounter Response considerations that first responders must be aware of New overview: Live webinar presented by International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) on March 31, 2016Recorded webinar Recognizing and Responding to Chemical-Assisted Suicides (Power Point - 5.36 MB) (International Association of Fire Chiefs, IAFC)top of page Common Approaches and Chemicals Chemical suicides, also called detergent suicides, involve self-inflicted exposure to toxic gases in a confined space (for example, cars, bathrooms, or closets), gases created by mixing consumer products or common household chemicals. This technique appears to have originated in Japan and has since become an increasingly popular method for suicide in the United States and elsewhere after instructions became available online. The two most common toxic gases produced are hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen Sulfide Hydrogen sulfide is the most common toxic gas used in chemical suicides, because it can be easily created using some readily available consumer products. Cleaning products that contain acids (such as muriatic or hydrochloric acid) can be mixed with compounds that contain sulfur (such as pesticides and insecticides) to generate hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide gas is an asphyxiant that suffocates victims at the cellular level, rendering cells in the body unable to use oxygen: At 100 parts per million (ppm), it is Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH). As little as 400 ppm can cause unconsciousness. At 1,000 ppm, victims immediately suffer cardiopulmonary arrest."

"text": "Safety Color Coding Labels and Tape Quick Tips #202The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that workplace hazards be marked to alert employees to dangers that exist at a facility or worksite. Depending on the specific situation, different regulations could apply. OSHA requirements are often non-prescriptive in regards to size, color and wording of markings. To help provide uniformity among organizations and industry, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) have developed and published the ANSI/NEMA Z535 series of standards for safety signs and colors (see Quick Tips #201: Safety Sign and Marking Requirements ). The color (s) of the labels and tape identify the type of hazard, which helps the employee identify the level of severity. The intent is to reduce the possibility of accidents and injuries. OSHA outlines the color code for marking physical hazards in 29 CFR 1910.144. In applications where there are no specific OSHA standards that apply, then the ANSI/NEMA Z535 standards, which are national consensus standards, are followed. The ANSI/NEMA Z535 series is composed of six documents and a color chart: ANSI/NEMA Z535 Color Chart ANSI/NEMA Z535.1 Safety Colors ANSI/NEMA Z535.2 Environmental Facility and Safety Signs ANSI/NEMA Z535.3 Criteria for Safety Symbols ANSI/NEMA Z535.4 Product Safety Signs and Labels ANSI/NEMA Z535.5 Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards)ANSI/NEMA Z535.6 Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions and Other Collateral Materials The following chart represents the color codes of both ANSI/NEMA Z535.1-2006 (R2011) and OSHA: COLOR MEANING APPLICATIONRed Danger Safety cans and signs.

Only when all hazard issues associated with the area and the work activity are mitigated can access to the area be authorized. This program does not address construction work regulated by 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P – Excavations, 1926 Subpart S – Underground Construction, C a is s ons, C o f f e r d a ms and Co m p re ssed A i r, or Constru c t i on wo r k re g ul a ted b y §1926 Sub p a rt Y — Divin g.1.0 Purpose At Jefferson Lab any area where work is assigned that is large enough to enter and perform work; has limited or restricted means of entry or egress; limited natural ventilation; and is not designed for continuous occupancy is considered to be a confined space. Working in confined spaces could potentially increase the risk of overexposure to atmospheric hazards and reduce a person’s ability to exit quickly due to physical hazards within the space. The purpose of this chapter is to provide awareness of the locations of known permit-required confined spaces (PRCS) at Jefferson Lab and establishes the minimum requirements necessary to prevent death or serious injury associated with entry in to a PRCS. Jefferson Lab has written agreements from the City of Newport News to provide emergency services through its 911 system. These include emergency medical response and transport, emergency technical rescue, and hazmat incident response. Letters confirming these services are on file with the Emergency Manager.2.0 Scope This Confined Space Program applies to all staff, affiliates, visitors, and others who perform work in PRCSs at Jefferson Lab.

It is not legal advice. It is not intended to replace the OHSA or the regulations. For further information please see full disclaimer. “confined space” means a fully or partially enclosed space, (a) that is not both designed and constructed for continuous human occupancy, and (b) in which atmospheric hazards may occur because of its construction, location or contents or because of work that is done in it. If you have a space that is fully or partially enclosed, the two conditions – (a) and (b) above – must both apply before the space can be considered a \"\"confined space\"\". Do I have a confined space in my workplace? To determine whether a \"\"space\"\" meets the definition of a confined space consider the following 3 questions: Is the space fully or partially enclosed? Is the space not both designed and constructed for continuous human occupancy?"

"text": "\"CSB Issues Final Report on Fatal Flash Fire in Xcel Plant Tunnel Aug 26, 2010An industrial incident that took the lives of five industrial painting contractors deep inside an Xcel Energy hydroelectric plant tunnel in Georgetown, Colo., was the result of several vital safety failures, the U. S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) determined in a final investigation report issued Aug. 25 in Denver. Nationally, the investigation identified 53 serious flammable atmosphere confined space accidents that occurred from 1993 to April 2010, causing 45 fatalities and 54 injuries, the majority since 2001. CSB also released a 15-minute safety video titled \"\"No Escape: Dangers of Confined Spaces,\"\" which includes a detailed animation depicting the tragedy that unfolded inside the mountain tunnel at Xcel's Cabin Creek plant on Oct. 2, 2007. The accident occurred in the water tunnel, or penstock, of the hydroelectric plant, located 45 miles west of Denver. The penstock carries water from an upper reservoir to a lower one, driving power turbines. The painting contractors, from RPI Coating Inc., were recoating a 1,530-foot steel portion of the 4,300-foot penstock when a flash fire suddenly erupted as the vapor from flammable solvent, used to clean the epoxy spraying wands, ignited, probably from a static spark in the vicinity of the spraying machine. The initial fire quickly grew, igniting additional buckets of the solvent, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and other combustible epoxy materials stored nearby. CSB concluded the causes of the accident included (1) a lack of planning and training for hazardous work by Xcel and its contractor, RPI Coating; (2) Xcel's selection of RPI despite its having the lowest possible safety rating (zero) among competing contractors; and (3) allowing volatile flammable liquids to be introduced into a permit-required confined space without necessary special precautions. The CSB report found that the permit-required confined space rule set by OSHA does not prohibit entry or work in confined spaces where the concentration of flammable vapor exceeds ten percent of the chemical's lower explosive limit, or LEL. ( The LEL is the concentration of vapor in air below which ignition will not occur. )"

"text": "\"Silkie (Bantam)In America, Silkies are considered bantams, whereas in Great Britain they are large fowl. Origins: The Silkie is originates from Asia, most believe China or Japan while others favor India. The exact location where they were found is not known, however, Marco Polo remarked in his journal a furry chicken on his travel through China in the 13th century. Characteristics: The Silkie is considerable different from other breeds with its fur like feathers and black skin. The black skin is the result of a melanotic gene (Fibromelanosis), an autosomal dominant gene. The feathering is the result of an autosomal recessive gene that developes a lack of hooklets in the pennaceous feathers. Afterfeathers can produce some hooklets in the wing feathers and shanks that is seen in other breeds of chickens, but in miniscule numbers. This is what give the Silkie fur-like feathering. This feature is also called Hookless. This trait is the cause of their flightlessness."

There are hundreds of chicken breeds to choose from, but you will likely come across one of the 60 different breeds recognized in the American Standard of Perfection, the official breed standard of the American Poultry Association. As a beginner, you want a chicken breed that meets the following characteristics: The chicken breed should be friendly, relatively docile and easy to tame The chicken breed should be relatively easy to care for The chicken breed should excel at laying eggs, if you’re raising chickens for eggs; gain weight quickly, if you’re raising chickens for meat; or both The chicken breed should be common enough that you can find it in most hatchery catalogs or at most local feed or farm supply stores In this online guide to raising chickens, you’ll discover the top five chicken breeds for beginners. Each backyard chicken breed possesses one or more of the above characteristics and is popular among both beginners and experts. The Barred Plymouth Rock has distinctive plumage. Barred Plymouth Rocks The Barred Plymouth Rock is a dual-purpose bird, meaning people raise them for both eggs and meat. It traces its lineage back to the 1800s. Egg-laying hens will typically lay approximately 200 brown eggs every year. If you’re raising chickens for meat, females reach a weight of approximately 7.5 lbs. while male Barred Plymouth Rocks can average up to 10 lbs."

You coop is fairly small, but if you already made it I guess you will have to stick wit what you have. Since Rhode Island Red's are skinny hens, you can have about 2 at the max. ~But if you were to have a Buff Orpington, it would be different. Buff Orpington's are the most common chickens eaten because of their size...which is fairly big. If you plan on getting Buff's, you need to only get one."

Silkie chickens are a highly prized breed of chicken that has beautiful silky white plumage, and startlingly black skin. They are frequently found in China, India, and Southeast Asia. They have a mild-mannered nature and make excellent pets, and you'll often see them at poultry shows. The chicken flesh itself is a dark bluish-gray or even black, and the bones are black as well. But the meat really doesn't taste different by nature; it's just chicken. The one difference, however, comes from the way the birds are raised."

"text": "Chicken Death or Dying Questions Chicken death often seems sudden; never a warning sign. Finding one of your favorite hens or roosters after it’s already too late can be a very sad thing. The reality is this: sure, a chicken can drop dead suddenly from heart failure or predator attack, but often, when finding a dead chicken, it has been sick or dealing with a problem for sometime. Chickens try to hide any signs of weakness from the rest of the flock and possible predators. They are hatched with this instinct. Likewise, flock members instinctively don’t want the weak around to attract predators to the whole group. However you look at it, chicken death should alert us, cause us to investigate and see if we can change something to help. Chickens are mean. Their instincts are to protect the group and drive the weak away in a natural free roaming state, as their ancestors have lived since prehistoric times and still live today in a few parts of the world. Living in coops and yards often makes this survival mechanism not function well, leading to bullying, starving, and even the killing and cannibalizing of the weak."

In chickens, a healthy comb is almost always red, although color can vary in other bird species, such as turkeys, and certain breeds, such as silkies, which have bluish black combs. While both genders of chickens have combs, the comb is usually much larger on roosters than hens, thus it's alternate name, \"\"cockscomb\"\". Although comb shape can vary greatly, especially with crossbreeding, the most common variation is the single comb. Contents [ show]Shapes Edit The main comb shapes are: Single comb Rose comb Pea comb V-comb Cushion comb Buttercup comb Strawberry comb Walnut comb There are different variations of the main shapes, usually caused by crossbreeding. An example of a very unusual horn v-comb on a La Fleche rooster. Purpose Edit Although the purpose of the comb isn't fully known, there are widely accepted theories on it's use. Seemingly, the biggest use of the comb is as a cooling system for the chicken. As blood flows to the comb, it cools off, as the vessels are closer to the skin, and not insulated by feathers."

How long after the cockerel is taken out will eggs be fertile. How many eggs does the cockerel fertilize at a time. Thank you Answer I like to have a cockerel with the hens 1 – 2 weeks before assuming eggs are fertile by him. You haven’t said how many hens this boy is expected to service and that could have some bearing on his effectiveness. Not knowing the ages and conditions of your flock, it would be impossible to give specifics as to what is going on inside their bodies. Ten days seems to be the length of time healthy sperm can stay alive in the hens. This would be good to know if you plan any selective breeding and own multiple roosters or plan to incubate eggs. Hens ovulate in response to lighted and dark hours, either natural or artificial, so how many “eggs” the rooster is able to fertilize at a time depends on how many are available and if he can produce enough sperm to keep up. The yolk is the fertilized segment of the egg."

"text": "\"The Chicken of Tomorrow needs to be the Chicken of Yesterday Posted on June 11, 2013 by Patty Lee By Janani Lee“The better the breeding, the better the eating,” Frank Perdue declares in an old commercial from Perdue chicken. He walks us through the breeds of chicken the Perdue company has raised throughout its history, listing the relative merits and drawbacks of the Barred Plymouth Rock through the Rhode Island Red, None of them, he claims, are up to his standards of “tender meat, plump breasts, [and] well turned legs.” So he had to develop his own. It is telling that a generation later, the breeds of these chickens are not nearly recognizable enough to be used in a television advertisement. In fact, the general pubic does not distinguish one breed of chicken from the next because they rarely encounter chicken that is not ready to cook or eat. The broiler industry came to rely on uniformity in size, growth rate, and behavior of its chickens in order to maintain a consistent supply for the consumer, and a bird was needed that could meet those specifications. Beginning in the late 1940’s, A&P Groceries sponsored the “Chicken of Tomorrow” contest for the “development of superior meat-type chickens.” The growing chicken industry sought ways to maintain and expand upon this boom by developing a chicken that would appeal to the consumer’s demands. The purpose of the contest was to find a “broader breasted bird with bigger drumsticks, plumper thighs, and layers of white meat,” which grew quickly with a high feed-to-weight conversion – a contrast to the slower growing, leaner hens that had been used mostly as laying hens in years past. The chicken to come out of the contest victorious was a Cornish and White Rock cross-breed, which has been further refined by the broiler industry over the past few decades for “ rapid growth, efficient feed conversion, broad- breastedness, limited feathering (for ease of plucking) and other traits considered desirable for rearing very large numbers of birds in confinement.”"

As the popularity of keeping backyard hens rises, the notion of keeping a few ducks as well is always considered. And this is for great reason! Chickens and ducks both make great pets for the small urban back yard. With each type of bird alone, or even living together, you can find a happy balance with keeping both ducks and chickens in the same space. There are some basic considerations however before you mix the two types of birds. One of those considerations revolves around personalities of the birds themselves. You can help guarantee better harmony if you choose the breeds that are most likely going to make good roommates together, and settling on breeds will help guarantee this harmony better than shooting in the dark. Here are our suggestions for chicken and duck breeds that live well together in small yards and small spaces. When choosing chicken and duck breeds that will cohabitate, it’s best to settle on breeds that tend to be easy going in general."

"text": "\"Unique in appearance, Silkie chickens look like balls of fluff with beaks. Further examination reveals dark skin, an extra toe, blue earlobes and feathered legs. While both sexes make calm-tempered pets that are compatible with kids, only the male chickens can actually crow. Females make a unique vocalization of their own. Silkie Roosters All Silkie roosters are capable of crowing at about 4 to 5 months old, but not all will. Silkies as young as 2 months old have been known to crow, while others have not begun crowing until nearly a year old. Unlike other breeds of chicken, Silkies are less likely to crow if you have other mature roosters on-site. Part of their shyness may be because most Silkies forgo the traditional \"\"cock-a-doodle-do\"\" for what sounds like a yodel or Tarzan call. Hens Laying hens will sometimes vocalize loudly in a rhythmic pattern interspersed with clucks shortly before egg-laying. The rhythmic pattern may be echoed by other hens who are not on the nest box."

She used to have her cell phone number on every carton of Provenance Farm eggs, and she’d get random calls from customers standing in the refrigerator section of Portland-area natural food stores, asking about her the lives of her chickens. Were they pastured? Were they fed a vegetarian diet? Were they happy?

I’ve actually been looking to add a little color to the eggs in my hen house lately. So I’ve been researching to figure out which chickens would be the best fit. Here is what I’ve found: The Process of Eggs Getting Colored The process of an egg being formed takes around 26 hours from start to finish. The actual eggshell being formed takes 20 hours. Then the egg being colored takes the remaining 5 or so hours. The egg will go through a dye process where a pigment is sprayed on the egg inside the hen. Remember, all eggs start as white eggs."

At the beginning of November 2009, Dr Mark Feinberg, the Vice President of Merck Vaccines stated the following: \"\" Based on input from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), professional societies, scientific leaders, and customers, Merck has decided not to resume production of ATTENUVAX (Measles Virus Vaccine Live), MUMPSVAX (Mumps Virus Vaccine Live), and MERUVAXII (Rubella Virus Vaccine Live). This science-based decision will support vaccination of the largest group of appropriate individuals. We will continue to focus necessary resources to ensure that we can help meet current and future global public health needs for our combination measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, M-M-RII (Measles, Mumps and Rubella Virus Vaccine Live). \"\" The combination vaccine M-M-RII is recommended by the ACIP, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and is preferred over the monovalent vaccines because it eliminates the need for 3 separate injections and reduces the chance of delays in helping protect against any of these potentially serious diseases. There is no medical reason to administer the measles, mumps, and rubella antigens separately, and ACIP guidelines do not support their use. \"\" Even though we have an uninterrupted supply of Measles and Rubella vaccines from our regular manufacturer, Merck has the exclusive rights to the Jeryl Lynn strain of the Mumps virus used both in the combined MMR and the single Mumps vaccinations. The Jeryl Lynn strain is the strain deemed the safest and most efficient for Mumps protection and no other monovalent (single) Mumps vaccine has been passed for use by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA)."

"text": "Introduction The number of rubella cases has fallen dramatically since the vaccine became available in 1969. Prior to this, extensive outbreaks of rubella occurred every 6-9 years. The last such outbreak started in Europe in 1962/1963 and spread to the USA and other countries, including New Zealand in 1964/1965, causing many cases of Congenital Rubella Syndrome. Rubella is now very rare in New Zealand due to high rates of immunisation in the community. How you get it Rubella is spread through the air from person to person by coughing and sneezing. The incubation period (time from infection to onset of symptoms) varies from 14 to 23 days. Infants born with Congenital Rubella Syndrome (infected when the mother was pregnant) are considered infectious until they are one year old. Symptoms and treatment It is common to have rubella without symptoms or very mild symptoms. When symptoms are present, they include a brief widespread, non-specific rash and swollen lymph glands. There is no specific treatment for infection."

In 2006, it was estimated that there were 242 000 measles deaths globally: this translates to about 663 deaths every day or 27 deaths every hour. The overwhelming majority (more than 95%) of measles deaths occur in countries with per capita Gross National Income of less than US$ 1000 and weak health infrastructure. Immunization prevents suffering, complications and death caused by measles. The measles vaccine is safe, effective and inexpensive. Vaccination has had a major impact on measles deaths. Overall, global measles mortality decreased by 68% between 2000 and 2006. The largest gains occurred in Africa where measles cases and deaths fell by 91%.

"text": "Who should have the MMR vaccine? MMR vaccination is routinely given to children as part of the NHS childhood immunisation programme. It can also be given on the NHS to older children and adults, and babies over 6 months of age, who need to be protected against measles, mumps and rubella, or in the event of a measles outbreak. Which children should have the MMR vaccine? The first dose of the MMR vaccine is offered to all babies at 1 year old. Children are given a second dose of MMR before they start school, usually at 3 years and 4 months, although the second dose can be given as quickly as 3 months after the first if there's an urgent need, such as in an outbreak. Some children who only have 1 dose of MMR may not be fully protected against measles, mumps and rubella. Up to 1 in 10 children are not fully immune after their first dose of MMR, but less than 1 in 100 children are still at risk after the second dose. Which children should not have the MMR vaccine? You should postpone your child's MMR jab if they're ill and have a high temperature (fever)."

IBD is a group of chronic inflammatory disorders of the small and large bowel, the commonest being ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The cause of IBD is not understood, but an immune mechanism as well as a genetic predisposition are likely. IBD is relatively rare, and usually occurs in people aged between 15 to 30 years, but can also occur in children. Common symptoms include diarrhoea, fever, stomach pain and weight loss. What is autism? Autism is a developmental disorder that is usually identified between 18 months and three years of age."

Vaccines to prevent these diseases are very effective, but underused. Some adults incorrectly assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. This is true for certain diseases, such as polio. However, some adults were never vaccinated as children. New vaccines such as the chickenpox vaccination were not available when many adults were children. And vaccinations for certain diseases must be repeated periodically to maintain immunity. In addition, certain vaccines are given to adults but not children. This is because with aging, we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections (such as flu or pneumonia ). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Department of Health and Human Services through the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the following recommendations about vaccines needed by all adults: Vaccines needed for all adults: Varicella ( chickenpox) vaccine Hepatitis B vaccines (adults at risk)Measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) vaccine Tetanus - diphtheria - pertussis (Td/Tdap) vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 50 years and older: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Vaccines needed for those aged 60 years and older: shingles vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 65 years and older: pneumococcal vaccine Vaccines needed for all health-care workers: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Annual updates are made each year by the CDC."

The GMC ruled that Wakefield acted unethically in researching a link between the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism. Luke Mac Gregor/Reuters Share Tech & Science Vaccines MMR Andrew Wakefield Autism Andrew Wakefield is both revered and reviled. To a small group of parents, he’s a hero who won’t back down from his assertion that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine can cause autism. To most, however, he’s the man who authored a fraudulent study that has been refuted many times and was retracted by the journal that published it, a man whose views carry dangerous consequences for all of us. They will tell you that the former doctor—stripped of his license in 2010 by the U. K.’s General Medical Council for ethical violations and failure to disclose potentially competing financial interests—has derailed public confidence in vaccination programs that were safely eradicating serious and highly contagious diseases. In the wake of the most recent measles outbreak in the U. S.—which began at the Disneyland theme park in Southern California in late December 2014 and has since spread to 17 states and infected more than 100 people—Wakefield defends his views about the measles vaccine. “ The responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of those that have been involved in vaccine policymaking, which is totally inadequate and bordering on dangerous,” he says. “ The government has only themselves to blame for this problem."

"text": "\"WHAT ARE SINUSES? Sinuses are air pockets that are located within the bones of the skull and face and are connected to your nasal passages by small tubes or channels, the osteomeatal complex. These channels permit air to flow from the nose into the sinuses and allow drainage of mucous from each sinus into the nose. Sinuses actually begin to develop during the early years of life from an initial small pocket or pouch within the bones of the face. This pocket, which is connected to either the right or left nasal passage by the above channels, slowly enlarges and expands within the bone filling with air during this process. The air within our sinuses exchanges constantly with air flowing through the nose. The growth of each sinus is variable, therefore, each of our sinuses are different in size and shape. This variation depends upon individual genes just as we all have different fingerprints. In fact, in each individual the right and left sinuses are generally different in size and shape. The osteomeatal channel, or the connection from the sinus to the nose, can also vary substantially in its length or width."

"text": "The opacified paranasal sinus: Approach and differential By Daniel F. Broderick, MD, FACRImage Gallery Sinonasal inflammatory disease with sinus ostial obstruction is a very common cause of an opacified paranasal sinus. However, there is a differential for an opacified paranasal sinus (Table 1). This article will present the typical appearances of these entities and demonstrate the benefit of a systematic approach in the evaluation of an opacified sinus (Table 2). Inflammation Sinonasal inflammatory disease with sinus ostial obstruction is a very common cause of an opacified paranasal sinus. An air-fluid level suggests acute sinusitis; in chronic sinus disease, one may see mucosal thickening and sclerosis of the bony sinus walls. 1 The sinus is normal in size. There are certain recurring patterns of inflammatory sinus disease that may be seen on sinus computed tomography (CT). 2 These include: the infundibular pattern, with inflammation of the maxillary sinus and opacification of the ipsilateral ostium and infundibulum; the ostiomeatal unit pattern, with inflammation of the ipsilateral maxillary, frontal and ethmoid sinuses and occlusion of the middle meatus (Figure 1); the sphenoethmoidal recess pattern, with obstruction of the sphenoethmoidal recess and inflammation of the ipsilateral posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses; the sinonasal polyposis pattern, which is characterized by the diffuse presence of polyps in the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity; and the sporadic pattern, also termed unclassifiable, which is diagnosed when there is random sinus disease not related to ostial obstruction or polyposis. The most commonly occurring patterns are the infundibular, ostiomeatal and sporadic. Knowledge and identification of these patterns may be helpful in surgical planning."

"text": "About Sinus and Nasal Cancers and Types Sinus cancer, nasal cancer and skull-base cancer usually originate in the maxillary sinus, the nasal cavity, and the ethmoid sinus, in that order. Cancers that originate at the top of your maxillary sinus, located between the eyes and the upper jaw, can invade your eyes and affect your vision. Those that invade through the back wall can access the nerves and vessels at the base of your skull and move directly into your brain. Those tumors represent extremely advanced disease. Tumors arising in the ethmoid sinus, between the eye sockets and the nose, and the nasal cavity can also spread to an eye or the optic nerve. They can also invade the thin bone at the base of your skull and spread within your brain. Types of sinus cancer, nasal cancer, and skull-base cancer Many different types of cancers can be found within the sinus cavities, nasal passageway and skull base. These cancers include: Squamous carcinoma, occurring in the maxillary sinus. Salivary gland cancers, occurring in the sinonasal cavity. These cancers include adenocarcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma."

Maxillary sinuses: These are the largest of the sinuses and are located behind the cheekbones near the maxillae, or upper jaws. Sphenoid sinuses: The sphenoid sinuses are located in the sphenoid bone near the optic nerve and the pituitary gland on the side of the skull. Ethmoid sinuses: The ethmoid sinuses are not single sacs. They are a collection of six to 12 small air cells that open independently into the nasal cavity. They are divided into front, middle, and rear groups. Like the nasal cavity, the sinuses are all lined with mucus. The mucus secretions produced in the sinuses are continually being swept into the nose by the hair-like structures on the surface of the respiratory membrane. This serves to moisten the air we breathe through our noses. The hollow sinuses also act to lighten the bones of the skull and serve as resonating chambers for speech."

"text": "\"- Horse Respiratory System -A horse's respiratory system is made up of the upper and lower airways. The upper airway contains the nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, and trachea. The lower airway has the lungs. The first line of defense against dust and other irritants is prior to the trachea, where large particles of dust and debris are trapped and exhaled. After that, everything else passes directly into the lower airway where the next line of defense is made up of tiny hair-like projections called cilia. The Cilia trap smaller particles and move them back up the airway, much like an escalator. The final defense barrier exists deep in the lungs; within the Alveoli where tiny cleaning cells called Macrophages perform a microscopic cleaning function, removing dust and bacteria. A horse in a dusty environment (the traditional stable being a good example) will therefore be more prone to infection than a horse in a cleaner environment. The equine lung evolved to deal with fresh air, therefore it is important to minimize pollutants (dust) in order to maintain healthy function. The Respiratory systems begins with the nostrils, which, during intense exercise, can expand a lot."

These four groups are: maxillary, frontal, sphenoid and ethmoids. All four are located in the bones of our skulls, but they are also attached to the nose. When one of them becomes infected it can affect more than just the nasal passages. It can cause pain and swelling in the eyes, face, or jaw. For example, the maxillary sinuses; which are located beneath the eyes and also in the facial cheekbones on the side of the nose, can cause jaw pain when they become infected. Sinus Definition If the nose is the air conditioner of the body, as stated by the Baylor College of Medicine in their article entitled, \"\"Review of Anatomy - Nose and Paranasal Sinuses\"\" (see Resources), than some might assume that sinuses serve as the nose's filters. If so, it might be assumed that these four filters--located in four different parts of the skull--would be responsible for removing dirt and germs from the air we breathe. Sinus Misconception and Infection However, there is no medically recognized function assigned for human sinuses, even the aforementioned filter possibility. And, in fact, speculation about the purposes of sinuses includes the possibility that they are actually needed for voice regulation or skull weight reduction."

Schwartz MD, FACS c d e Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.otot.2011.08.014 Get rights and content Endoscopic management of skull base pathology requires a interdisciplinary surgical approach. A comprehensive knowledge of the extracranial and intracranial anatomy is critical to achieve successful outcomes and decrease complications. Surgeons must familiarize themselves with anatomy of the ethmoid region, lateral nasal wall, sphenoid sinus, cavernous region, sellar/suprasellar region, clivus, and pterygopalatine/infratemporal fossa before embarking on these approaches. Previous article Next article Keywords Endoscopic skull base anatomy Minimally invasive skull base surgery Sellar/suprasellar anatomy Sphenoid sinus Pterygopalatine fossa Infratemporal fossa Vascular sellar anatomy Endoscopic skull base surgery represents a unique collaboration between the otolaryngologist and neurosurgeon. Although multidisciplinary approaches to the skull base have existed for decades, endoscopic surgery demands a far greater collaboration among the surgical team members. Surgeons are required to appreciate complex neurovascular and osseous anatomical relationships from a transnasal perspective as well as understand the nuances of each other’s field. For example, the neurosurgeon must understand the benefits of meticulous mucosal preservation in avoiding sinonasal complications, and the otolaryngologist must appreciate the catastrophic consequences of sacrificing a seemingly minor intracranial vessel. The goal of this work is to familiarize surgeons with the transnasal extracranial and intracranial skull base anatomy. Ethmoid bone/fovea ethmoidalis The medial portion of the ethmoid bone is a cruciate membranous bone composed of the crista galli, cribriform plate, and perpendicular ethmoidal plate. The crista is a thick piece of bone, shaped like a “cock's comb,” that projects intracranially and attaches to the falx cerebri."

There are four paired sinuses in the head. The most posterior (farthest toward the back of the head) of these is the sphenoid sinus. The sphenoid sinuses are located in the sphenoid bone near the optic nerve and the pituitary gland on the side of the skull. There are seven bones that form the orbit (eye socket), and the sphenoid is one of these bones. The pituitary gland, which produces many different hormones that control other glands, is housed in the sphenoid bone. It is also housed in the sella turcica. Like the nasal cavity, the sinuses are all lined with mucus. The mucus secretions produced in the sinuses are continually being swept into the nose by the hair-like structures on the surface of the respiratory membrane (lung lining tissues). This serves to moisten the air we breathe through our noses."

"text": "What was the Transcontinental Railroad? The transcontinental railroad was a series of railroads built from east of the Mississippi, across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. There were 5 main railroad lines built during the 1800s that are considered transcontinental railroads, but the major line was created by the Central and Union Pacific Railroad Companies and ran between Sacramento, California and Council Bluffs. This line is known as the First Continental Railroad. How did the transcontinental railroad affect the United States? The Transcontinental Railroad was instrumental in the development and westward expansion of the United States, both uniting and dividing the country. The transcontinental railroad greatly shaped the nation, from the Native Americans, to wealthy Americans, and poor immigrants. Why was the transcontinental railroad built? Not long after the invention of the steam engine in the late 1700s, the United States’ first steam locomotive carried its first passengers and goods Maryland in 1830. The Oregon Trail initiated the westward expansion movement beginning in 1841, demonstrating the need for faster, safer transportation methods."

S. Navy’s newest warship and is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric “anti-access” threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft. The LCS class consists of two variants, the Freedom variant and the Independence variant - designed and built by two industry teams. The Freedom variant team is led by Lockheed Martin (for the odd-numbered hulls, e.g. LCS 1). The Independence variant team is being led by General Dynamics, Bath Iron Works (LCS 2 and LCS 4) and Austal USA (for the subsequent even-numbered hulls). The LCS seaframes will be outfitted with reconfigurable payloads, called mission modules (made up of mission systems and support equipment), which can be changed out quickly. These modules combine with crew detachments and aviation assets to become complete mission packages, which will deploy manned and unmanned vehicles and sensors in support of mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, or surface warfare missions. Initiated in February 2002, the LCS program represents a significant reduction in time to acquire, design and build ships in comparison to any previous ship class. Constructed by Lockheed Martin in the Marinette Marine Corporation's shipyard in Marinette, Wis., USS Freedom (LCS 1) was delivered to the Navy on Sept. 18, 2008. USS Independence (LCS 2) was constructed by General Dynamics, Bath Iron Works in the Austal USA shipyard in Mobile, Ala. and delivered to the Navy on Dec. 18, 2009."

"text": "\"Hospitals run by the VA are graded on a 5-point system. Up until now, those grades have been kept private. USA TODAY's Donovan Slack shares what she learned while uncovering them. USA TODAY NETWORK (Photo: Donovan Slack, USA TODAY)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREWASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs has quietly released quality-of-care ratings for its medical centers across the country, despite years of refusing to share them with the public. The move follows a USA TODAY investigation that revealed ratings for 146 VA medical centers for the first time earlier this month. VA Secretary Bob Mc Donald complained at the time that their publication across the USA TODAY Network caused “unwarranted distress” to veterans and could dissuade them from getting care. But last week, according to an internal memo obtained by USA TODAY, the agency posted updated ratings on its website and also included indicators of whether hospitals were improving or declining, allowing members of the public to see for the first time how their local VA medical centers have been faring over time. The VA rates centers on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the best and one being the worst, and bases the ratings on dozens of factors, including death and infection rates and wait times. The newly posted ratings show VA hospitals in Albuquerque, Detroit and Los Angeles received one star as of June 30, 2016, down from two stars on Dec. 31, 2015. At the same time, the VA medical center in Fayetteville, Ark., jumped from three stars to five, and the VA in Orlando, Fla., went from two stars to four."

Their traditions say that a long time ago they came from the Southwest, perhaps from the borders of Mexico. Through hundreds of years they were slowly moving northward. When the first white men found them, over two hundred years ago, what is now the Nebraska country was their home. The Pawnee nation was divided into four tribes, each of which had an Indian name and a white man's name: Chau-i, Grand; Kitke-hahk-i, Republican; Pita-hau-erat, Noisy; Ski-di, Wolf. These tribes were divided into bands, each of which lived in a group of houses and kept together on the march and in the village. Pawnee Earth Lodge. ( From photograph by A. E. Sheldon. ) The Pawnees were the most advanced in culture of any of the Nebraska Indians. In farming, in handiwork, in medicine, in music and religion they had made remarkable progress and were imitated by the other Indians."

Highly skilled with the bow and arrow, they used every part of the animal they killed for food, clothing, and to create their homes and tools. To keep up with the herds, the Arapaho lived in teepees made of long poles and buffalo hides and used sleds, known as travois, to move their homes and belongings quickly. With westward expansion came conflict with white settlers. Rather than fight, the Arapaho entered into treaties with the U. S. government. These agreements were not always kept and the tribe lost their land. The Arapaho, along with the Cheyenne, were victims of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, in which U. S. troops murdered approximately 150 men, women, and children as they attempted to surrender. The Arapaho and Cheyenne, allied with the Sioux, fought General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. Cheyenne Occupying the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas, the Cheyenne followed the buffalo herds throughout the Great Plains. Living in teepees allowed the tribe to pack quickly and move from place to place using sleds, called travois , pulled by dogs or horses."

"text": "Math Geometry Lines Coplanar Lines Coplanar Lines Coplanar Lines are lines which lie on the same plane. Two parallel lines or two intersecting lines always lie in a plane. Thus, two line are coplanar, if and only if they are either parallel or intersecting. Lines in three dimensional space are coplanar, only if they are not skewed lines. Two lines which are neither parallel nor intersecting are called skewed lines. Two skew lines are always non coplanar. Three distinct points are always said to be coplanar. However, when a fourth point is added or more points are added in the space, they can exist in some other plane. Three vectors are coplanar, if one of them can be expressed as a linear combination of the other two. If , , are three non zero and non coplanar vectors and x, y, z are scalars then x + y + z = only if x = y = z = 0The following figure will explain you the co-planar points in a plane."

"text": "7. Assumptions of Statistical Tests Posted on 11 November 2011 by Allen Fleishman“All models are incorrect. Some are useful.” George Box***When you do a statistical test, you are, in essence, testing if the assumptions are valid. We are typically only interested in one, the null hypothesis. That is, the assumption that the difference is zero (actually it could test if the difference were any amount). We previously discussed the merits of the null hypothesis in previous blogs. But the null hypothesis is only one of many assumptions. Let me focus on the lowly t-test and also a simple two-way ANOVA (comparing two groups and time [repeated measurements]). A second assumption is that the data are normally distributed."

Vectors are quantities that have magnitude and direction, they can be denoted in three ways: in bold ( r ), underlined ( r) or. The position point of a vector is defined using Cartesian co-ordinates: it uses the coordinates of the OX, OY and OZ axes where O is the origin. We will be looking at vectors in 3 dimensional space in Cartesian coordinates. Similar ideas hold for vectors in n dimensional space (n-vectors). In the above diagram r is the position vector of a point A relative to the origin O. So. Try plotting your own vectors. Top Addition and Subtraction of vectors DEFINITION: We will look at two laws involving addition and subtraction; The commutative law and the Associative law. The commutative law: Addition and subtraction of vectors obeys the commutative law,This means that: In terms of the following components For addition: For subtraction: The Associative law: This uses different routes to get to the same final desination In terms of the following components: Top The length and unit vector of a vector The length of a vector : DEFINITION: For any vector like this one The length of a (which is denoted by | a |) is given by: The unit vector of a vector DEFINITION: A unit vector is a vector with unit length 1.

"text": "Education Math Statistics What a Boxplot Can Tell You about a Statistical Data Set What a Boxplot Can Tell You about a Statistical Data Set Related Book Statistics For Dummies, 2nd Edition By Deborah J. Rumsey A boxplot can give you information regarding the shape, variability, and center (or median) of a statistical data set. It is particularly useful for displaying skewed data. Statistical data also can be displayed with other charts and graphs. What the boxplot shape reveals about a statistical data set A boxplot can show whether a data set is symmetric (roughly the same on each side when cut down the middle) or skewed (lopsided). A symmetric data set shows the median roughly in the middle of the box. The median, part of the five-number summary, is shown by the line that cuts through the box in the boxplot. Skewed data show a lopsided boxplot, where the median cuts the box into two unequal pieces. If the longer part of the box is to the right (or above) the median, the data is said to be skewed right. If the longer part is to the left (or below) the median, the data is skewed left.n = 83 actresses).”/> Boxplot of Best Actress ages (1928–2009; n = 83 actresses).

The boxplot shows the shape, central tendency, and variability of the data. Interpretation Use a boxplot to examine the spread of the data and to identify any potential outliers. Boxplots are best when the sample size is greater than 20. Skewed data Examine the shape of your data to determine whether your data appear to be skewed. When data are skewed, the majority of the data are located on the high or low side of the graph. Often, skewness is easiest to detect with a histogram or boxplot. Right-skewed Left-skewed The boxplot with right-skewed data shows wait times. Most of the wait times are relatively short, and only a few wait times are long."

The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second. Angular velocity is usually represented by the symbol omega ( ω, sometimes Ω ). In three dimensions, the angular velocity of a particle can be represented as a vector, with its direction pointing perpendicular to both the position and velocity vectors, in a fashion specified (conventionally) by the right-hand rule.

The angular velocity describes the rate of change of the angular position, and the orientation of the instantaneous plane of angular displacement. If the particle is revolving about the origin, then the direction of the angular velocity pseudovector will be along the axis of rotation; in this case (counter-clockwise rotation) the vector points up. The angular velocity of a particle is measured relative to a point, called the origin. As shown in the diagram (with angles ɸ and θ in radians ), if a line is drawn from the origin ( O) to the particle ( P ), then the velocity ( v) of the particle has a component along the radius (radial component, v ‖) and a component perpendicular to the radius (cross-radial component, v ⊥ )."

The three destination points determine an affine transformation that maps the original rectangular image to a parallelogram. Example For example, suppose the original image is a rectangle with upper-left corner at (0, 0), upper-right corner at (100, 0), and lower-left corner at (0, 50). Now suppose you map those three points to destination points as follows. Original point Destination point Upper-left (0, 0) (200, 20)Upper-right (100, 0) (110, 100)Lower-left (0, 50) (250, 30)The following illustration shows the original image and the image mapped to the parallelogram. The original image has been skewed, reflected, rotated, and translated. The x-axis along the top edge of the original image is mapped to the line that runs through (200, 20) and (110, 100).

As a minimum, the test samples to be used are as homogeneous as possible, are drawn from the material from which the disparate test results were obtained, and are randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. Other fabrics with established test values may be used for this purpose. The test results from the two laboratories should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must be found and corrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias.5.2 Individual rolls are normally accepted or rejected on the basis of the maximum amount of bow or skew in a specific roll of fabric. The average bow or skew in a roll or lot or the range of bow or skew in a roll may be determined but are not normally used in the trade for acceptance or rejection.5.3 Bow or skew can be induced during fabric manufacturing, dyeing, tentering, finishing, or other operations where a potential exists for uneven distribution of tensions across the fabric width. Bow and skew are more visually displeasing in colored, patterned fabrics such as plaids and horizontal stripes rather than in solid colors because the contrast makes the distortion more prominent. These defects may cause sewing problems in such fabrics and draping problems in finished products. In some cases, a specified amount of skew is needed, for example, to prevent twisting of pant legs made of twill fabric. Matching plaids from distorted patterns may create serious problems for the garment manufacturer or home sewer."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Distribution fitting)navigation search Probability distribution fitting or simply distribution fitting is the fitting of a probability distribution to a series of data concerning the repeated measurement of a variable phenomenon. The aim of distribution fitting is to predict the probability or to forecast the frequency of occurrence of the magnitude of the phenomenon in a certain interval. There are many probability distributions (see list of probability distributions) of which some can be fitted more closely to the observed frequency of the data than others, depending on the characteristics of the phenomenon and of the distribution. The distribution giving a close fit is supposed to lead to good predictions. In distribution fitting, therefore, one needs to select a distribution that suits the data well. Contents [ hide ]1 Selection of distribution2 Techniques of fitting3 Generalization of distributions4 Inversion of skewness5 Shifting of distributions6 Uncertainty of prediction7 Goodness of fit8 Histogram and density function9 See also10 References Selection of distribution [ edit]Different shapes of the symmetrical normal distribution depending on mean μ and variance σ 2The selection of the appropriate distribution depends on the presence or absence of symmetry of the data set with respect to the mean value. Symmetrical distributions When the data are symmetrically distributed around the mean while the frequency of occurrence of data farther away from the mean diminishes, one may for example select the normal distribution, the logistic distribution, or the Student's t-distribution. The first two are very similar, while the last, with one degree of freedom, has \"\"heavier tails\"\" meaning that the values farther away from the mean occur relatively more often (i.e. the kurtosis is higher). The Cauchy distribution is also symmetric. Skew distributions to the right Skewness to left and right When the larger values tend to be farther away from the mean than the smaller values, one has a skew distribution to the right (i.e. there is positive skewness ), one may for example select the log-normal distribution (i.e. the log values of the data are normally distributed ), the log-logistic distribution (i.e. the log values of the data follow a logistic distribution ), the Gumbel distribution, the exponential distribution, the Pareto distribution, the Weibull distribution, or the Fréchet distribution."

As the name suggests, it is intended to develop and explain features of both data and probability distributions.

well-defined procedure so that others will understand exactly how the \"\"average\"\" value was obtained and can duplicate the processno single procedure produces a good representative value. therefore, researchers have developed three commonly used techniques for measuring central tendency: mean median modemean -arithmetic average -the amount that each individual would get if we took the total and divided it up equally among everyone in the sample -can be viewed as the balancing point in the distribution of scores (distances for the scores above and below the mean cancel out)the mean -most commonly used measure of central tendency -computation requires scores that are numerical values and measured on interval or ratio scalemean can be defined two ways 1. the mean is the amount that each individual receives when the total (EX) is divided equally among all N individuals 2. the mean is the balance point of the distribution because the sum of the distances below the mean is exactly equal to the sum of the distances above the meanchanging the mean because the calculation of the mean involves every score in the distribution, changing the value of any score will change the value of the meanmodifying a distribution by discarding scores or adding new scores will usually change the value of the meanto determine how the mean will be affected for any specific situation you must consider: 1. how the number of scores is affected 2. how the sum of the scores is affectedif a constant value is added to every score in a distribution then the same constant value is added to the mean. -also if every scores is multiplied by a constant value then the mean is also multiplied by the same constant valuethe problem with the mean potential problems with the mean occurs when there are extreme scores, as the mean gets pulled (up or down) in the direction of these scoreswhen the mean won't work -although it is the most commonly used measure of CT there are situations where the mean does not provide a good representative value and there are situations where a mean cannot be computed.-when a distribution contains a few extreme scores (or is very skewed) the mean will be pulled toward the extremes (displaced towards the tail) in this case the mean will not provide a \"\"central\"\" valuewith data from a nominal scale it is impossible to compute a mean and when data are measured on an ordinal scale (ranks) it is usually inappropriate to compute a mean -mean does not always work as measure of ct and it is necessary to have alternativesthe median -if scores in a

in the distribution have values that are equal to or less than the mediancomputation of the median requires scores that can be placed in rank order (smallest to largest) and are measured on an ordinal, interval, or ratio scalemedian can be found by simple counting procedure 1. with an odd number of scores, list the values in order, and the median is the middle score in the list 2. with an even number of scores, list the values in order, and the median is half-way between the middle two scoresif the scores are measurements of a continuous variable it is possible to find the median by first placing the scores in a frequency distribution histogram with each score represented by a box in the graph -then draw a vertical line through the distribution so that exactly half the boxes are on each side of the line, median is defined by the location of the linethe median (cont'd) -one advantage of the median is that it is relatively unaffected by extreme scores -medians tend to stay in the \"\"center\"\" of the distribution even when there are a few extreme scores or when the distribution is very skewed -in these situations, the median serves as a good alternative to the

is used as a supplemental measure of ct that is reported along with the mean or the medianbimodal distributions it is possible for a distribution to have more than one mode -distribution can only have one mean and only one medianbimodal distribution the term mode is often used to describe a peak in a distribution that is not really the highest point -thus a distribution may have a major mode at the

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In probability theory and statistics, kurtosis (from Greek: κυρτός, kyrtos or kurtos, meaning \"\"curved, arching\"\") is a measure of the \"\"tailedness\"\" of the probability distribution of a real -valued random variable. In a similar way to the concept of skewness, kurtosis is a descriptor of the shape of a probability distribution and, just as for skewness, there are different ways of quantifying it for a theoretical distribution and corresponding ways of estimating it from a sample from a population. Depending on the particular measure of kurtosis that is used, there are various interpretations of kurtosis, and of how particular measures should be interpreted. The standard measure of kurtosis, originating with Karl Pearson, is based on a scaled version of the fourth moment of the data or population. This number is related to the tails of the distribution, not its peak; [1] hence, the sometimes-seen characterization as \"\"peakedness\"\" is mistaken. For this measure, higher kurtosis is the result of infrequent extreme deviations (or outliers), as opposed to frequent modestly sized deviations. The kurtosis of any univariate normal distribution is 3. It is common to compare the kurtosis of a distribution to this value. Distributions with kurtosis less than 3 are said to be platykurtic, although this does not imply the distribution is \"\"flat-topped\"\" as sometimes reported. Rather, it means the distribution produces fewer and less extreme outliers than does the normal distribution."

These precancerous lesions are changes in skin that are not cancer but could become cancer over time. The NHS says skin cancer affects more than 100,000 people in the UK each year. Learn to spot the early warning signs. Skin cancer can be cured if it's found and treated early. Actinic keratosis (solar keratosis)The small, scaly patches caused by too much sun exposure commonly occur on the head, neck, or hands, but can be found elsewhere. They're the early beginnings of skin cancer. Actinic keratosis usually appears on people after the age of 40, but they can show up in much younger people. Fair-skinned, blonde or red-haired people with blue or green eyes are most at risk. They can develop into squamous cell skin cancer."

"text": "\"Alcohol linked to skin cancer risk By Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online29 January 2014Share STEVE PERCIVAL/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARYSunburn can lead to melanoma Scientists believe drinking too much alcohol could set off a chain of reactions in the body that makes the skin more vulnerable to cancer. Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde soon after ingestion and this compound may render the skin more sensitive to harmful UV light, they say. The authors of the work in the British Journal of Dermatology admit that other forces may also be to blame. Drinkers may lounge in the sun without enough protective clothing or suncream. Research has clearly shown that most cases of melanoma are caused by overexposure to UV rays - you can reduce the risk by avoiding sunburn Sarah Williams of Cancer Research UKAccording to their work, which looked at 16 different studies involving thousands of participants, consuming an alcoholic drink or more a day increases skin cancer risk by a fifth. Risk increased proportionately with alcohol intake - those who drank 50g of ethanol daily (the equivalent of a few strong beers) were up to 55% more likely to develop the deadliest form of skin cancer called melanoma compared with non or occasional drinkers. Dr Eva Negri, one of the study authors who is from the University of Milan, said: \"\"We know that in the presence of UV radiation, drinking alcohol can alter the body's immunocompetence, the ability to produce a normal immune response. \"\" This can lead to far greater cellular damage and subsequently cause skin cancers to form. This study aimed to quantify the extent to which the melanoma risk is increased with alcohol intake, and we hope that armed with this knowledge people can better protect themselves in the sun. \"\" Melanoma usually starts in the skin and sometimes within a mole Prof Chris Bunker, President of the British Association of Dermatologists, said: \"\"Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK and melanoma is its deadliest form."

Most people usually grow moles during childhood, whereas some develop moles later on in life. Research conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology shows that moles are caused by very high concentration of pigment cells in a person’s skin. They are usually small and flat and may assume a raised stance and grow eventually. If you are not keen, you may confuse moles with freckles, which are also dark spots on the skin that develop due to sun exposure. Table of Contents How do you get moles? How are moles formed?

To most of us who are not aware of the medical conditions and cases, we often ask, \"\"What is a precancerous mole? \"\" Precancerous moles are moles that are not yet classified as cancerous but may develop into being cancerous when not given medical attention at the early stage of skin condition. Precancerous lesion is actually a change in skin growth or appearance that is not cancerous. Moles that appear to have abnormal characteristics must be seen by a dermatologist to assure that the condition is not cancer. Cancerous moles, on the other hand, are considered malignant melanomas which have been developed from atypical moles. Melanoma is a dangerous form of skin cancer; it is common in people with fair skin and freckled skin, also in people with dark skin. Exposure to the harmful rays of sunlight and radiation of high technology equipments would increase the cancer formation in the skin. Melanoma that is detected early has a greater chance of being treated and cured."

"text": "Jill Onesti, MD on behalf of Mercy Health Surgical Oncology Melanoma is a cancer that begins in the skin. If caught at an early stage, removal of the melanoma can give you a high chance of a cure. As the melanoma grows deeper in the skin, however, it becomes more aggressive and may spread to other regions of your body. The first place of spread is usually the lymph nodes that drain that particular area. For example, if a melanoma is noticed in your arm, the lymph nodes that drain your arm are located in your axilla (underarm). If the melanoma spreads beyond the lymph nodes, it often becomes aggressive and can go to many other places in the body, including your brain, your lungs, your intestines and your liver.

"text": "Tests for Melanoma Skin Cancer Most melanomas are brought to a doctor’s attention because of signs or symptoms a person is having. If you have an abnormal area that might be skin cancer, your doctor will examine it and might do tests to find out if it is melanoma, another type of skin cancer, or some other skin condition. If melanoma is found, other tests may be done to find out if it has spread to other areas of the body. Medical history and physical exam Usually the first step your doctor takes is to ask about your symptoms, such as when the mark on the skin first appeared, if it has changed in size or appearance, and if it has been painful, itchy, or bleeding. You may also be asked about your possible risk factors for skin cancer, such as history of tanning and sunburns, and if you or anyone in your family has had skin cancer. During the physical exam, your doctor will note the size, shape, color, and texture of the area (s) in question, and whether it is bleeding, oozing, or crusting. The rest of your body may be checked for moles and other spots that could be related to skin cancer. The doctor may also feel the lymph nodes (small, bean-sized collections of immune cells) under the skin in the neck, underarm, or groin near the abnormal area. When melanoma spreads, it often goes to nearby lymph nodes first, making them larger. Enlarged lymph nodes might suggest that melanoma could have spread there."

Sun avoidance is the best defense against skin cancer. The principal cause of skin cancer is almost universally accepted by medical experts to be overexposure to sunlight, especially when it results in sunburn and blistering. Other less important factors would include: repeated medical and industrial x-ray exposure; scarring from diseases or burns; occupational exposure to such compounds as coal and arsenic, and family history. Prevention is a matter of guarding the skin against the known causes. Since the sun and its ultraviolet rays would seem to be the main culprit, the most effective preventive method is sun avoidance. Limit the exposure of the skin to harmful rays by covering up and using sunscreens with at least a 15 SPF rating. Early detection is the surest way to a cure.

The tanning industry has grown rapidly since the 1980s, 1 rising to an estimated 28 million users in the United States. 2 This rise has been accompanied by an increase in diagnoses of skin cancer. The reasons behind the rising skin cancer diagnoses remain open to debate. Some experts attribute the rise to more frequent skin cancer screening, whereas others blame environmental and behavioral risk factors, particularly changes in UV exposure. In this latter context, UV-emitting tanning beds—classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 3 —have come under growing scrutiny. People tan to look healthy, but looks can be deceiving; UV radiation causes all three types of skin cancer. Melanoma, a tumor of the cells that produce the skin pigment melanin, is the rarest but deadliest type, accounting for 75% of skin cancer deaths worldwide."

They produce a brownpigment known as melanin and are responsible for racial variation in skin color as well as thecolor of moles. Malignant degeneration of the melanocyte gives rise to the tumor known as melanoma, which has four subtypes.

"text": "10 Long-Term Effects of Hyperglycemia Hyperglycemia, though also seen in drug related and physiologically stressful situations, is a characteristic sign of diabetes mellitus. The long-term effects of hyperglycemia, especially in those with untreated diabetes or poor compliance with diabetic treatment, are a result of high blood sugar levels over a long period of time. However, though temporary hyperglycemia does have adverse affect on the body, the damage is not so severe as chronic hyperglycemia. Here are some of the long-term effects of hyperglycemia. Blood Vessel Injury The cells present in the walls of blood vessels absorb glucose directly from the blood without the need of insulin. So, when the blood sugar levels are high, they become overloaded with glucose, and when it happens over a long period of time, the blood vessels will be damaged. The cell walls become thick and weak, causing them to block the blood flow to the organs with small blood vessels, especially the nerves. Neuropathy Hyperglycemic effects over long-term also include nerve damage. As the nervous system, apart from the cells in blood vessel walls, also absorbs glucose directly from the blood, chronic hyperglycemia can affect its functioning and health severely. Another reason for diabetic neuropathy is the damage to blood vessels that supply blood to the nerves."

This happens because the body does not produce enough insulin, or the cells do not correctly respond to insulin to use glucose as energy. Insulin is a type of hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate how blood sugar becomes energy. An imbalance of insulin or resistance to insulin causes diabetes. Diabetes is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, vision loss, neurological conditions, and damage to blood vessels and organs. There is type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. They have different causes and risk factors, and different lines of treatment. This article will compare the similarities and differences of types 1 and 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes occurs in pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth."

"text": "Does Diabetes Cause Itchy Shins and How to Identify Its Causes? By A ROctober 11, 2011Itchy Shins The shin is the area located directly on the anterior portion of the lower leg, right below the knee. It is the leg quarter in front of the tibia, commonly known as the shinbone. This bone is where the area derives its name from. Itchiness in this area may take precedence or follow an irritation or inflammation of the skin. Itchy shins may display flaky, dry, scaly or inflamed skin. Irritation is characterized by redness, rashes, some pain and noticeable heat from the area. What are the Causes of Itchy Shins Itchy shin causes range from the mundane to more complex and threatening diseases. Usually a person can determine whether the cause of the itchiness is of a minor nature. When in doubt, if the itchiness continues for a sustained period of time or if the itchiness worsens, the best thing to do is to consult a physician."

Without lifestyle changes, people with prediabetes are very likely to progress to type 2 diabetes. If you have prediabetes, the long-term damage of diabetes — especially to your heart, blood vessels and kidneys — may already be starting. There's good news, however. Progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes isn't inevitable. Eating healthy foods, incorporating physical activity in your daily routine and maintaining a healthy weight can help bring your blood sugar level back to normal. Prediabetes affects adults and children. The same lifestyle changes that can help prevent progression to diabetes in adults might also help bring children's blood sugar levels back to normal. Symptoms Prediabetes generally has no signs or symptoms. One possible sign that you may be at risk of type 2 diabetes is darkened skin on certain parts of the body."

"text": "Description Type A insulin resistance syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by severe insulin resistance, a condition in which the body's tissues and organs do not respond properly to the hormone insulin. Insulin normally helps regulate blood sugar levels by controlling how much sugar (in the form of glucose) is passed from the bloodstream into cells to be used as energy. In people with type A insulin resistance syndrome, insulin resistance impairs blood sugar regulation and ultimately leads to a condition called diabetes mellitus, in which blood sugar levels can become dangerously high. Severe insulin resistance also underlies the other signs and symptoms of type A insulin resistance syndrome. In affected females, the major features of the condition become apparent in adolescence. Many affected females do not begin menstruation by age 16 (primary amenorrhea) or their periods may be light and irregular (oligomenorrhea). They develop cysts on the ovaries and excessive body hair growth (hirsutism). Most affected females also develop a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans, in which the skin in body folds and creases becomes thick, dark, and velvety. Unlike most people with insulin resistance, females with type A insulin resistance syndrome are usually not overweight. The features of type A insulin resistance syndrome are more subtle in affected males."

Although many women take it for granted that their ovaries play an important role in the female reproductive system, the majority of them do not understand how essential their ovaries are to the proper functioning of the female body. In fact, women who suffer through Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS) often do not realize the importance of their ovaries until they begin to research their condition. Every day, between five and ten percent of all women struggle with the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS ), fighting an uphill battle for normalcy and health.

As surprising as it may be, it is true that women do have male reproductive hormones naturally in their system (and men have female reproductive hormones). The proper balance of these hormones is what maintains a functioning reproductive system in both men and women. But when a woman begins to produce too many androgens (male hormones) she can quickly develop Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS) and start to experience some of the devastating symptoms this condition can produce. Some of these symptoms include: infertility, hair loss, polycystic ovaries, abdominal and pelvic pain, hirsutism, depression, anxiety, acne, dandruff, dry skin, skin tags, and fatigue.

Are you suffering from skin challenges like I did? I struggled for years, actually decades with acne and sore broken out skin.

Click here to see the full infographic with a complete analysis of how U-500 prices have spiked. Retired nurse Mary Smith was having trouble controlling her type 2 diabetes on her regular insulin regimen, so her doctor decided to put her on something stronger. Amber Taylor, MD, director of The Diabetes Center at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, wrote Smith a prescription for Humulin U-500 insulin, a much more concentrated form of the drug. It could deliver far more active ingredient at far less overall volume, which was important since Smith's insulin doses were getting high. But when Smith showed up at the pharmacy, she was told she'd have to shell out $900 for a vial. \"\" There was no way I could afford that,\"\" Smith told Med Page Today as she recalled the pharmacy visit, which happened about a year ago. And the price has gone up since then: Now a single bottle of highly concentrated Humulin U-500 insulin that lasts a diabetes patient about one month costs $1,200 wholesale -- more than five times the $220 it cost in 2007. Those increases have far surpassed those for the less concentrated Humulin U-100, which only rose three times during that period, at a rate comparable to the rest of the insulin market, a Med Page Today analysis found."

"text": "\"By Birdie Varnedore, M. D. , Spark People Blogger 9/27/2011Before I started medical school, I noticed something strange about the skin of some of my family members, the ones who were overweight or obese, like I was then. Various folds of skin--on the neck, arms, and legs, among other places--I noticed their skin was darker and thicker. It didn't look the same as the rest of their bodies. I wondered what it was, what caused it--and whether I would also get it. This dark, leathery skin is quite common, and you may even have this condition yourself. You might have brushed it off as a skin imperfection and thought that there was nothing that you could do about it. Would you believe that this condition can lead you to the diagnosis of medical disease? Before we talk about what it can help diagnose, let's talk about motivation, one of my favorite topics. In my opinion it doesn’t really matter where your initial motivation for weight loss comes from. Vanity, a desire to fit in, trying to find a partner, hoping to get a better job--all of these reasons are fine."

It can develop with no warning signs, and some symptoms are too subtle to notice. This silent epidemic is type 2 diabetes, and without diagnosis and treatment, it could progress with serious complications. Diabetes is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough of the hormone insulin, which regulates how the body metabolizes food. There are two types of diabetes: In type 1, high blood sugar (glucose) levels occur because insulin-producing cells in the pancreas have been destroyed. This form of diabetes (also called “juvenile diabetes” because it can emerge as early as childhood) is not related to a person’s diet and exercise habits. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body’s cells become resistant to insulin produced, and there is a corresponding decrease in the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas. Are you at risk for developing diabetes? Type 2 diabetes is usually hereditary; however, being overweight and having a sedentary lifestyle can increase the chance of developing diabetes at an earlier age. Type 2 diabetes used to only occur in adults, but today some children are developing type 2 diabetes earlier, corresponding to childhood obesity and inactivity."

Symptoms typical of PCOS are due to the underlying process of PCOS. The cause of PCOS is a condition called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is due to the body's production of high amounts of insulin in order to control blood sugar levels. Excessive insulin causes the ovaries to produce too much of the hormone testosterone and other male sex hormones. This results in symptoms, such as excessive hair growth on the face and body, acne, lack of ovulation, and irregular menstrual periods or no menstrual periods ( amenorrhea) and infertility. PCOS can cause serious complications to health."

Insulin Resistance Definition Insulin resistance is not a disease as such but rather a state or condition in which a person'sbody tissues have a lowered level of response to insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreasthat helps to regulate the level of glucose (sugar) in the body. As a result, the person's bodyproduces larger quantities of insulin to maintain normal levels of glucose in the blood. There is considerable individual variation in sensitivity to insulin within the general population, with themost insulin-sensitive persons being as much as six times as sensitive to the hormone as thoseidentified as most resistant. Some doctors use an arbitrary number, defining insulin resistance as a need for 200 or more units of insulin per day to control blood sugar levels. Variousresearchers have estimated that 3-16 percent of the general population in the United States and Canada is insulin-resistant; another figure that is sometimes given is 70-80 million Americans. Insulin resistance can be thought of as a set of metabolic dysfunctions associated with or contributing to a range of serious health problems. These disorders include type 2 diabetes (formerly called adult-onset or non-insulin-dependent diabetes), the metabolic syndrome (formerlyknown as syndrome X), obesity, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Some doctors prefer theterm \"\"insulin resistance syndrome\"\" to \"\"metabolic syndrome. \"\""

Eileen Bailey / @eileenmbailey, Health Writer Credit: i Stock We have occasionally received questions about skin tags and whether these are a form of skin cancer. The most recent question involved a skin tag located under the breast. While skin tags are not cancerous, it is important to be aware of any growths and monitor them to make sure you contact your doctor if there is a problem. If you do have skin tags, be sure to note the location and the appearance when doing a self-exam so you can monitor the growth. Skin tags (acrochordon), a soft growth that hangs or protrudes from the skin, are considered tumors; however, they are rarely malignant. They usually are not harmful. Skin tags usually occur where skin rubs against skin, such as on the eyelids, armpits, under the breasts, in the groin or on the upper chest and neck. Certain people are more at risk of developing skin tags: Individuals who are overweight People with diabetes Women who are pregnant Heredity may also play a role in whether someone is more susceptible to developing skin tags. The risk increases with age, with tags becoming more common after mid life."

"text": "Blood test reveals skin cancer spread Press release 4 November 2013 The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)A simple blood test could be used to identify patients whose melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer – has started to spread to other parts of the body, according to research presented at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) Cancer Conference in Liverpool. “This work could lead to quicker diagnosis and potentially new treatments, giving patients and doctors an even better chance of beating the disease” - Dr Harpal Kumar, NCRI chair Researchers from Dundee examined DNA shed from tumour cells into the bloodstream, looking at a single gene called TFP12. The gene usually helps to stop healthy skin cells growing out of control, which could potentially lead to cancer. But the researchers found that in melanoma patients it acquires chemical ‘tags’ – known as DNA methylation – that switch this gene off. They also found that levels of this ‘switch off’ correlated with whether or not the cancer had spread around the body. Early stage tumours had relatively low levels of DNA methylation, while advanced cancers had much higher levels, suggesting the gene was more tightly shut down. The results suggest that measuring the levels of methylated TFP12 in DNA in the blood could be a useful test to inform doctors whether a patient’s melanoma has started to spread and needs additional treatment. Dr Tim Crook, study author and a consultant medical oncologist based at the University of Dundee, said: “Once melanoma starts to spread it becomes far more difficult to treat. But actually detecting whether or not it has started to spread is also challenging. “By using a blood test, we have the basis of a simple and accurate way of discovering how advanced the disease is, as well as an early warning sign of whether it has started to spread."

These usually small growths of skin are generally harmless, and cause no noticeable symptoms. In most cases, the polyps will go completely unnoticed and will not affect a woman’s overall health or her ability to enjoy sex. While the majority of women never experience any problems, a small percentage do. In these cases, it might be necessary to treat* or remove* the vaginal polyps. Symptoms of Vaginal Polyps Vaginal polyps are normally small growths of skin inside a woman’s vagina. While most women will never display any symptoms associated with polyps, some may start to notice a white or yellowish vaginal discharge. While researchers are not sure why these skin tags can begin to form, other symptoms can include period vaginal bleeding between menstrual cycles and after sexual intercourse. Slight bleeding or spotting can also occur after douching."

Although it probably won't make you feel any better, skin tags are quite common and increase as one grows older; most people who live into their 80s develop at least one skin tag. Skin tags are one of many forms of noncancerous skin growths that are abnormal accumulations of different types of skin cells. This group also includes moles, lumps of fatty material called lipomas, and red or purple discolorations called angiomas. They may be present at birth or develop later. Skin tags are soft and usually small, but if left to grow for years they can become an inch or more long. They are usually flesh-colored or a little darker."

Related Topics: Skin Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Medicine Net5,093 Answers 311,554 Helpful Votes 212 Followers A. It is important to keep in mind that skin tags usually do not have to be treated. Deciding to have no treatment is always a reasonable option if the growths are not bothersome. If the tags are bothersome, multiple home and medical options are available: Tie off tag at narrow base with a piece of dental floss or string. Freeze tag with liquid nitrogen. Burn tag using electric cautery or Hyfrecator. Remove tag with scissors, with or without anesthetic. There are several effective medical ways to remove a skin tag, including removing with scissors, freezing (using liquid nitrogen), and burning (using medical electric cautery at the physician's office). Usually small tags may be removed easily without anesthesia while larger growths may require some local anesthesia (injected lidocaine) prior to removal. Application of a topical anesthesia cream (Betacaine cream or LMX 5% cream) prior to the procedure may be desirable in areas where there are a large number of tags."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Clinical Procedures Curettage and Electrodessication Updated: Dec 14, 2017Author: M David Stockton, MD, MPH; Chief Editor: Dirk M Elston, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Background Curettage and electrodessication (C&D, or ED&C) is a basic skin procedure in which the technique of curettage using a sharp curette is followed by electrodessication. The technique is often performed by dermatologists, family physicians, and general surgeons in their offices on a daily basis. C&D was once a mainstay of treatment for basal cell and squamous cell cancers long before the laser skin surgical techniques used today. For many indications, C&D has been replaced by curettage alone, as it yields similar cure rates and a better cosmetic outcome. Indications Curettage and electrodessication (C&D) may be used for small benign skin lesions and tumors, including warts, seborrheic keratosis, pyogenic granuloma, granulation tissue, and genital warts. [ 1] C&D may also be used to treat some skin cancers, including superficial basal or squamous cell carcinomas; however, primary excisional approaches are frequently required to achieve maximum cures and to obtain complete histopathologic diagnosis. [ 2, 3]Cosmetic results may be better with other procedures such as shave removal or simple curettage. Seborrheic keratosis and genital warts may be treated with cryotherapy with superior cosmetic results. Lesions such as skin tags that have a narrow stalk may be better treated with snip excision to avoid channeling of the electric current into the underlying tissue. C&D used to treat cancerous basal cell lesions less than 1 cm (< 0.4 in) in diameter yields an excellent cure rate, but similar results may be achieved with curettage alone."

Skin tags are invariably benign – non cancerous – tumors of the skin which cause no symptoms, unless it is repeatedly rubbed or scratched, as may happen with clothing, jewelry, or when shaving. Very large skin tags may burst under pressure. Skin tags are benign, asymptomatic skin tumors, often raised from the skin on fleshy peduncles. Skin tags are composed of a core of fibers and ducts, nerve cells, fat cells, and a covering or epidermis. Some people are more susceptible to tags, either because of their overweight, partly due to heredity, and often for unknown reasons. People with diabetes and pregnant women tend to be more prone to skin tags. Dermatologists say that skin tags affect males and females equally."

In fact, they may look virtually identical to the untrained eye, but there are some quick and easy ways to make this important distinction. One way is to seek the opinion of a doctor, but that can be embarrassing. It’s likely to be something that you want to avoid until you know what is wrong. Do not despair, though, as you can find out the difference between skin tags and genital warts. What does an accurate diagnosis mean regarding treatment? Well, getting rid of skin tags is simple with a proven over-the-counter (OTC) method. If you have genital warts, however, you should seek advice from a doctor. You could just have a wart, but it could also be something that needs medical attention, such as a sexually transmitted disease (STD)."

"text": "You can tell if a bump is a wart or skin tag based on its shape, color, size, and texture. Skin tags are usually narrow and hang off the skin's normal surface on a stalk, and they are also often quite similar in color to the surrounding skin. A skin tag can also often be less firm than a wart. Warts are generally raised circular bumps that are harder and have a rougher texture than skin tags. Different areas of the body can develop a wart or skin tag, depending on some of your individual health conditions. Recognizing warts can sometimes be more of a challenge because some of them can have rougher surfaces if they are on an area of the body that frequently rubs against clothing or other surfaces. Some of these warts can even develop scabs or dry skin patches on their tops, making them closer in appearance to other skin lesions, such as blisters. Plantar warts on the soles of the feet are especially prone to scabbing from friction against the inside of the shoe if you walk around with the wart for a long time before having it removed. Other warts that occur on the hands or other areas not prone to friction often have a bumpy surface without the rough texture, though some may have noticeable small dots of blood just under the wart surface. Identifying a wart or skin tag can be done without much of the guesswork based on some of your basic medical history."

An easy treatment is to soak your foot for half an hour, then put water proof tape on it (like medical tape or even duct tape). Leave it on until the next time you soak it. After a month the wart will come out. Something Smells Fishy · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment A highly-publicized study in October 2002 showed that duct tape can be very useful in ridding a person of planters warts. The study done at Madigan Army Medical Center near Tacoma, Washington compared duct tape to the more conventional planters wart treatment of liquid nitrogen (or cryotherapy) and discovered that the duct tape was the most successful of the planters wart treatments. Subjects in the study used duct tape to cover their planters warts and then left them for a period of six days. After the sixth day the subjects took off the duct tape and soaked their planters warts in lukewarm water before rubbing the affected area of skin with a pumice stone or emery board.

Skin tags are small, soft, skin-coloured growths that hang off the skin and look a bit like warts. They're very common, harmless, and can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm (about 2 inches) wide. Skin tags are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks. Why skin tags occur Skin tags are made of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Collagen is a type of protein found throughout the body. Both men and women can develop skin tags. They tend to occur in older people and people who are obese or have type 2 diabetes. Pregnant women may also be more likely to develop skin tags as a result of changes in their hormone levels."

When you are not sure which it is, it is imperative that you see your physician for consultation. Here are some facts about both skin growths. What are Genital Warts? Genital warts are flesh or gray colored growths in the genital area. Also known as condyloma acuminata, genital warts are transmitted from person to person through unprotected sexual contact. The disease is caused by several strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Both men and woman of any age can be infected with the virus. It is however, commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 17 to 33 years. This sexually transmitted disease is very contagious, making it possible to contract the disease even with a single sexual contact with an infected person."

Skin tags are harmless but can be annoying. Skin tags tend to occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts. A person may have anywhere from one to hundreds of skin tags. Almost everyone will develop a skin tag at some point in their lives. Middle-aged, obese adults are most prone to skin tags. Obesity is associated with skin tags.

Here’s why:“Are You Embarrassed By Your Moles, Warts or Skin Tags?”The first sight of an abnormal skin lesion located on visible parts of your skin can be traumatic. At first glance, when you look in the mirror, was your reaction similar to this...“My life is ruined!”“I can’t be seen in public looking like this!”“The first thing people will notice is this ugly mole, wart or skin tag!”“They will think I have some kind of disease!”“How will I get rid of this thing? !”“ No one in their right mind will date someone with such things coming out their skin!”“I just want to hide under a rock until this thing goes away!”And, all this is going through your mind at the first sight of the skin deformity. Just imagine what’ll happen after you’ve tried every Moles, Warts or Skin Tag removal product, cream, laser treatment or freezing method without any results! This is when the emotional trauma really sets in. Here’s what often happens: Depression & Inferiority Complex - As a result of feeling like you’ll endure a lifetime of humiliation and ridicule, you’re in deep depression and display signs of inferiority when comparing yourself to others. Expensive Treatments - Even though you can’t possibly afford expensive surgical procedures to permanently remove your moles, warts, or skin tags, you’ve thought about selling your most valuable, sentimental possessions in order to pay for the treatment. Physical Harm - You’ve accidently harmed yourself, physically, while undergoing desperate measures to get rid of your mole, wart or skin tag. Wrong Diagnosis - You’ve tried tons of drugs, potions, and “internet remedies” to even some that are toxic and poisonous."

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

The CPT code for cryotherapy will depend on the treatment that is to be conducted and the location of the wart. There are very few dermatology practices that makes use of cryotherapy as a treatment option for removal of warts. It requires that specific procedure is followed including an assessment of particular wart types and the area that is targeted. Different coding will require assessment and application in order to allow a practitioner to claim for the therapy from a medical insurance company. There are different codes that are available for the removal of wart in different bodily regions. The coding does not depend on overall simplicity of a particular procedure and more complex treatments that will have to be performed depending on conditions presented by patients. A review of different codes is recommended to make the best possible selection decision. It is up to the discretion of a physician to determine which of these codes proves most relevant for a specific treatment."

Home to more than 150 species of herpetofauna, Georgia ranks high among the states in total number of native species. One reason for the great herpetofaunal diversity in Georgia is that the state hosts many different terrestrial and aquatic habitats, including upland and bottomland mixed pine and hardwood forests, mountain coniferous forests, pine flatwoods, cypress–tupelo gum swamps, sandhills, streams, rivers, isolated wetlands, and caves, as well as salt marshes, coastal islands, and the ocean. The extensive habitat diversity, coupled with a moderate climate, is ideal for supporting a wide variety of reptile and amphibian species. Amphibians Georgia Bullfrog is home to approximately eighty species of amphibians, including at least fifty different kinds of salamanders. On the Coastal Plain are the giant salamanders, sirens and amphiumas, which can reach lengths of more than three feet, and the equally massive hellbender ( Cryptobranchus alleganiensis ), found in mountain trout streams. The numerous woodland salamanders of the southern Appalachian Mountains of Georgia and neighboring states give this region the highest salamander diversity in the world. The unusual Pigeon Mountain salamander ( Plethodon petraeus) is found nowhere else except in an area of northern Georgia. The limestone and cave-rich portion of southwest Georgia is home to the bizarre albino and eyeless Georgia blind salamander ( Haideotriton wallacei ). Thirty native species of frogs (as well as the greenhouse frog ( Eleutherodactylus planirostris ), native to the Caribbean) are found in the state, including several species of tree frogs, chorus frogs, and toads."

"text": "Embryonic development and parental care Once the eggs are fertilized, development begins, and the egg becomes an embryo as it divides into successively smaller cells. The time delay between fertilization and egg deposition (that is, egg laying) is poorly documented for the majority of reptile species. Whereas copulation and the delivery of sperm into the female’s reproductive tract can occur weeks or months before the eggs are ovulated, fertilization and egg deposition typically appear to occur within hours to days of ovulation. Apparently, many egg-laying (or oviparous) reptiles have a mechanism to retard or stop development in the oviduct once the early gastrula stage is attained. However, in most species, development continues as soon as the egg is deposited. During periods of high stress and other relatively unusual conditions (such as in captivity), females have been known to retain shelled eggs in their oviduct for weeks to months. In some situations where protracted egg retention results, eggs have eroded the oviductal wall and have fallen into the body cavity. Egg-laying and nest-building behaviours vary widely among reptiles. These behaviours range from the “casual” dropping of the eggs in a relatively suitable site to the preparation of an elaborate nest, and in a few groups parental care may also occur. Most turtles dig an egg chamber exclusively with their hind limbs, and attention is given to the selection of the nest site, the excavation of the egg chamber, and its closure."

"text": "\"Armadillos, Georgia’s only Shelled Mammal September 20, 2013 by Michael Mengak Source (s): Michael T. Mengak Armadillos in Georgia Scientists classify armadillos with anteaters and sloths. They have poorly developed teeth and limited mobility. In fact, armadillos have small, peg-like teeth that are useful for grinding their food but of little value for capturing prey. No other mammal in Georgia has bony skin plates or a “shell,” which makes the armadillo easy to identify. Just like a turtle, the shell is called a carapace. Armadillos are common in central and southern Georgia and are moving northward. Only one species of armadillo lives in Georgia and the southeastern United States, but 20 recognized species are found throughout Central and South America. These include the giant armadillo, which can weigh up to 130 pounds, and the pink fairy armadillo, which weighs less than 4 ounces. About two million years ago a relative of the armadillo as large as a rhinoceros lived in South America, and small cousins lived as far north as Canada. These disappeared in the ice ages long before humans inhabited North America."

"text": "Related Articles Kind of Paint to Use on a Wooden Fence DIY Cement Pond Rocks How to Protect Wooden Fence Posts From Rotting How to Landscape With Rocks Instead of Mulch Three main species of coastal lizards are the western fence, northern alligator and western skink lizards. While all require rocks and foliage in their habitats, the amount and kind needed vary by species. All use rocks for sunning and hiding, yet fence lizards also scramble up vertical surfaces, such as rocky outcroppings, tree trunks, walls, woodpiles and wooden fences to escape predators or soak up the sunshine. Fence Lizards When it comes to plants, the fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) is particularly fond of trees with rough bark for easy climbing. Although not picky about types of rock, this lizard loves piles of boulders for rapid vertical escapes from predators as well as warm places to hang out. Fence lizards, which encompass species such as the coast range fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis bocourtii), are among the most common and quickest moving reptiles in North America. About 8 inches long, they are usually tan, gray or brown but may also appear black in some places, such as on lava rocks. Males have blue throats and bellies. Sunny, open areas appeal to the western fence lizard, whether along waterways, in woodlands, among shrubby chaparral meadows or in suburban backyards. Aside from eating insects, fence lizards are useful because they contain a substance that renders ticks incapable of spreading Lyme disease after they bite the lizards."

"text": "Share Print In Depth › Nature Features › Environment and Nature The baby blue-tongues are coming At this time of year, out in the bush or even just lazing around your own backyard, you might catch sight of this season's crop of baby blue-tongues. Born in late January, they're just getting big enough to be easily seen. By Janet Parker Slideshow: Photo 1 of 2The northern blue-tongue lizard in the George Gill Ranges, Northern Territory (Source: Paul Horner, NT Museum)Blue-tongue lizards are found in just about every part of Australia: on the coastal plains; in the mountains; in rainforest; deserts and at least one species is found in every Australian capital city. So, whether you live in Kakadu or Melbourne, just about everyone should be able to see one in their neighbourhood. Blue-tongues are amazing survivors of urbanisation. A lizard may stay in the same backyard for years, conveniently consuming slugs and snails and sunning itself each morning by the backdoor, or out under the clothesline. They're large and slow moving with a reputation for stealing dogfood. Australian cities are the only major cities in the world that have resident lizards this size - adults grow up to 60 cms in length. Herpetologists, though, are now concerned that blue-tongue numbers, in some locations, may be in decline. When: January and February Where: Australia wide Other info: Blue-tongues make great pets."

"text": "Blue Tailed Skink Reptiles Hits: 4500The Blue-tailed Skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) is a skink native to Australia's Christmas Island and is not closely related to the Plestiodon skinks of North America, whose juveniles are known for their blue tails. Description It is relatively small with a black body with yellow stripes going to a bright blue tail. The blue-tailed skink is one of the most common lizards found in the United States. Also called the five-lined skink because of the five cream-colored lines along the top and sides of its body, this little guy grows to a maximum length of about 8.5 inches, including its 5-inch tail. Young skinks have a bright-blue tail, which distracts predators' attention away from its body and breaks off when the young lizard is attacked. Blue-tailed skinks are lively with a lot of personality and make a good pet if you know how to provide the proper environment and care. Characteristics When they become frightened they have the ability to pop their tail off and it will continue to wiggle and distract their predator while they run away. When young they have a dark black body with bright yellow stripes leading from the back of the neck down to the meeting of the bright blue tail. As the juvenile males age, they lose their yellowish stripes and their back starts to become a brownish black color, and they begin to grow a reddish color underneath the neck during the mating seasons. Females usually keep their blue tail for their whole life, though."

Private people may keep native reptiles as pets under a licensing and record keeping system that allows the DEC to monitor what species are being kept, bred and traded amongst enthusiasts. A person who wishes to keep native reptiles may do so only if a Reptile Keepers Licence (RKL) is held by that person. It is against both State and Commonwealth law to keep species that are not native to Australia. People who hold a licence may obtain reptiles from other people who legally hold them, but they are not allowed to be traded through pet shops and must not be taken from the wild. The following lists of reptiles are those species that are presently held in NSW collections. Applications to keep other species that may become available from sources outside NSW will be assessed individually by the DEC. The DEC strongly suggests that all reptile enthusiasts join a reptile keeper organisation such as those listed at the end of this document. This will put you in touch with other people who have similar interests and who may have animals that may be traded among licensees. Benefits will also be gained from the knowledge, experience and expertise of other reptile keepers and perhaps the opportunity to participate in field observation and research activities."

They also call it , though rarely, as Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink s or bush crocodile skink. The genus has eight documented sub-species. Crocodile skinks are the common sub-species of the genus that we can find in captivity. You can find these skinks in lush tropical forests and wooded, humid locations in the close vicinity of water. These shy creatures are at their energetic best during dawn and dusk since they are crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) in nature, The rest of the time, they spend in hiding under litters or debris. The orange or red rings that encircle their prominent black eyes give them a charisma of their own. Crocodile skinks look like small crocodiles rather than members of the skink species, for which reason people refer to them as red eyed crocodile skink or red-eyed bush crocodile skink. There are rough scales on the body with three rows of spiny projections, which run down their spine to their tail’s base. Anatomy These red-eyed crocodile skinks are at birth around 2.5 inches long."

Blue-tongued skinks are ideal for beginners, as they have loads of personality and great dispositions. Blue-tongued skinks are also an excellent choice for advanced hobbyists, as breeding them can be challenging and certain blue-tongue species and localities are extremely rare. Blue-Tongued Skink Availability Northern blue-tongued skinks are available seasonally, with most litters dropped June through August. Other species, including Indonesian blue-tongued skinks ( Tiliqua gigas gigas ), are more readily available and often imported, but Northern blue-tongued skinks are hardier and make better pets. Be sure to choose reptiles from a reputable source and look for active lizards with bright, open eyes. Check for open ear canals, clean toes with no sign of retained shed skin, and observe the overall appearance of the lizard for signs of health. Northern blue-tongued skinks range in price from $150 for babies to $250 for adults. High-colored or rarer forms may cost more. Rare blue-tongued skinks such as centralians and shinglebacks may cost between $1,500 and $5,000 each."

"text": "Australia has over 140 species of land snake - and 32 species of sea snakes have been recorded in its waters-. Of these 100 species are venomous, although only a dozen are considered venomous enough to be fatal to humans. However, though Australian snakes are currently viewed as the most venomous in the world, they are, by no means, the most dangerous. One reason for this is perhaps that having had very little time to adapt to the short human presence on their continent, Australian snakes are generally very shy and have not developed means to defend themselves against human predation, unlike, for example, the spitting cobras of Asia and Africa. Another reason is that Australia is big and not densely populated by humans. As a result, snake bites are anything but common in Australia. Besides, many of these bites occur when people - often under the influence of alcohol - try to handle or kill the snakes. A number of bites also happen when people inadvertently step on snakes (correct behavior and proper footwear could avoid these bites). Even then, many Australian snakes will first try to escape and, in case they do bite, they usually don't inject venom. It is thus estimated that only 2 to 6 fatal cases of unavoidable snake bites happened in Australia between 1980 and 2004 (a period of 24 years)."

Although not selective about the species of tree they choose to inhabit, they tend to seek out trees with crowns that are highly exposed to sunlight. This preference has been attributed to the sloths using sunlight to fulfill their thermoregulatory needs.

"text": "Best Places to See Monkeys & Sloths in Costa Rica It’s not as exotic as the end of a muddy trail through the remotest rain forest but the trees along the highways and roads are one of the easiest places to see sloth and monkeys especially if you’re riding with a guide or local driver. Of course national parks and wildlife refuges provide opportunities as well and we’ve described the best in each region of Costa Rica. Looking for monkeys and sloths in Costa Rica is a bit like searching for a needle in a needle stack – they’re everywhere. Jump To: The Best Places | Southern Caribbean | Northern Llanuras | Volcanoes | Southern Pacific | Central Pacific But There Couldn’t be a Sloth Here A couple of years ago we were traveling friends on their first visit – two other couples and their five pre-teens. We spent a few days at the Volcano where we saw mono congos every morning. In the pre-dawn light when the monkeys started calling from the trees bordering Arenal Springs Resort I’d round up the kids and we’d take a 100 meter expedition into the forest following the sound until someone spotted movement. It was nearly impossible to drag the kids away for breakfast so I had to rely on the monkeys’ tendency to move off in search of forage for their own morning meal. Young male mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata)No one really wanted to leave, but everyone did want to go to the beach so we loaded into a busetta, rounded the lake, crossed the continental divide and headed down the big hill from Tilarán to the hot, dry plains of Guanacaste – destination Playa Hermosa. Because Sue and I spend so much time surrounded by wildlife it’s hard to remember what our guests have seen and what they haven’t so I was a bit surprised when I heard one of the girls tell the driver, “the monkeys are fun but I really want to see a sloth. We haven’t seen a sloth."

Like all sloths it has long limbs and a small head for the size of its body. Sloths’ fur hangs ‘backwards’ compared to other mammals, lying from the stomach to their back. This enables the water to run off while it is in a tree. Sloths do not have visible toes but instead have long claws. In this species they have three claws on each foot, which enable them to hang from the branches of trees (2). The brown-throated Tree-toed Sloth can also be distinguished from other species by its brown fur and upturned mouth, giving the sloth a constant ‘smile’. Despite their name the Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth is often tinged with green due to the growth of blue green algae in its fur, especially in the rainy season. Adult males also have a yellow/orange patch of fur with a black stripe between their shoulders. Sloths have a low nutrient diet which leads to a slow metabolic rate."

"text": "The White Man’s Burden–Rudyard Kipling An essay I published at American Thinker provoked a response from a reader. This intrepid fellow suggested that I had misread Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden,” which I referenced in the essay. In refreshing myself on the poem to be sure that his assertion of misreading did not hold, I had a few thoughts I would like to share now. My reader suggested that Kipling’s poem “is a very serious, if sarcastic, discourse on the total absurdity of assuming “the white mans burden” and the attitude of liberal do-gooders.” Let’s look at the poem’s first three stanzas to test that suggestion. Take up the White Man’s burden– Send forth the best ye breed– Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives’ need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild– Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. Take up the White Man’s burden– In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another’s profit, And work another’s gain. Take up the White Man’s burden– The savage wars of peace– Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. Looking at the first stanza, we see Kipling expressing a decidedly non-politically correct (by our standards) view of the colonized population: “Half-devil and half-child.” In stanza 3, he refers to the problem of “heathen Folly.”"

"text": "\"Plants Animals Climate The Amazon rainforest, also known as Amazonia, is one of the world's greatest natural resources. Because its vegetation continuously recycles carbon dioxide into oxygen, it has been described as the \"\"Lungs of our Planet\"\". About 20% of earth's oxygen is produced by the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon rainforest gets its name from the Amazon River, the life force of the rainforest. The Amazon River begins in the Peruvian Andes, and winds its way east over the northern half of South America. It meets the Atlantic Ocean at Belem, Brazil. The main river is about 4,080 miles long. Its drainage basin covers 2,722,000 million square miles, and lies in the countries of Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and the three Guyanas. Sixteen percent of all the world's river water flows through the Amazon delta. Twenty eight billion gallons of water flow into the Atlantic every minute, diluting the salinity of the ocean for more than 100 miles offshore."

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

"text": "\"definition : Galapagos The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón, other Spanish name: Las Islas Galápagos, ), part of the Republic of Ecuador, are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, west of continental Ecuador. The islands are known for their vast number of endemic species and were studied by Charles Darwin during the second voyage of HMS Beagle, as his observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. The Galápagos Islands and their surrounding waters form the Galápagos Province of Ecuador, the Galápagos National Park, and the Galápagos Marine Reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of slightly over 25,000. The first recorded visit to the islands happened by chance in 1535, when Fray Tomás de Berlanga, the Bishop of Panamá, was surprised with this undiscovered land during a voyage to Peru to arbitrate in a dispute between Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. De Berlanga eventually returned to the Spanish Empire and described the conditions of the islands and the animals that inhabited them. The group of islands was shown and named in Abraham Ortelius's atlas published in 1570. The first crude map of the islands was made in 1684 by the buccaneer Ambrose Cowley, who named the individual islands after some of his fellow pirates or after British royalty and noblemen. These names were used in the authoritative navigation charts of the islands prepared during the Beagle survey under captain Robert Fitzroy, and in Darwin's popular book The Voyage of the Beagle."

The Amazon Rainforest The Amazon Rainforest is home to thousands of animals, insects, and plant species. This rainforest is so beautiful and rich with vegetation that it is known as the 'lungs of the Earth.' It got its nickname because of the abundance of vegetation it contains, which takes carbon dioxide out of the air and releases fresh oxygen for us to breath. The Amazon Rainforest actually produces 20 percent of the world's oxygen. Where Is the Amazon Rainforest Located?

Now there are only two with five species living in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. There are two species of two-toed sloth in South America – (Choloepus hoffmanni or Unau) found in the forested regions of northern South America from Ecuador to Costa Rica, and (Choloepus didattylus) in Brazil. There are three species of three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) in in coastal Ecuador, through Columbia and Venezuela (except for Llanos, and the Orinoco river delta), continuing through the forested areas of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, through-out Brazil and extending to the northern portion of Argentina and Central America,Read: Animals of the Galapagos The difference between the species, as named, is in the front toes, as both genera have three toes on their hind feet, but they are not related families. The world’s slowest moving mammal, sloths of South America are tree dwellers, safer from ground predators. They carry out most of their activities hanging upside down in trees. They eat, sleep, mate, give birth, and tend their young suspended over the ground. It takes them about two and half years to grow to full size, between one and a half and two and a half feet. ( Their ancestor, the extinct Giant Sloth, grew to the size of an elephant.)"

Tom Brakefield/ Getty Images Let's say you're driving around an unfamiliar city one day and you get lost. The odometer racks up more and more miles as you try to find a landmark to reorient yourself. Then, the gas light flickers on, and you start to panic because you have no idea where the nearest gas station is. What do you do to ensure that you don't become stranded? You would have to maximize the return on every drop of fuel burned. For instance, if it's a summer day, you'd turn off the air conditioning and roll up the windows. You'd probably drive at a steady clip and try not to gun the engine. Like pacing your car when it's low on gas, sloths move slowly to conserve energy as well."

These vary from monkeys in the Amazonian lowlands to the rare Andean spectacled bear in the highlands. The most diverse mammals are the bats, of which there are easily more than 100 species in Ecuador alone. For many, the most delightful mammals to spy upon are monkeys. Ecuador’s monkey species include the howler, spider, woolly, titi, capuchin, squirrel monkeys, tamarins and marmosets. The best places to see them in their natural habitat include Reserva Producción Faunística Cuyabeno and Parque Nacional Yasuní in the Amazonian lowlands, and the rarely visited lowlands sector of Reserva Ecológica Cotacachi-Cayapas near the coast. A group of marvelously mischievous capuchin monkeys have taken over the central plaza in the Oriente town of Misahuallí, where you’re guaranteed an up-close (and sometimes too personal) experience. In the Oriente, you may hear howler monkeys well before you see them; the males’ eerie roars carry great distances and can sound like anything from a baby crying to wind moaning spookily through the trees.

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Whimsy Is a Dog's Mouth Really Cleaner Than a Human's? Share Flipboard Email Print Moxie Productions/Getty Imagesby David Emery Updated September 06, 2017Believe it or not, the idea that a dog's mouth is sterile actually has its roots in medical literature. It has long been noted by physicians that human bites are more likely to become infected than those of other mammals, including dogs. Once statistics to that effect were published in journals and began to be repeated by medical professionals, folk wisdom took off from there. Bite Wounds vs. Closed-Fist Injuries Lately, however, the accuracy of those statistics has come under attack, with critics objecting that some of the human \"\"bites\"\" compared to animal bites in earlier studies weren't really bites at all. A 1988 review published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine found the following: Recent study of human bites has shown that the early literature depicting all human bites as having an extraordinarily high infection and complication rate was biased by its emphasis on human bites of the hand that presented late with infection already present. These bites, the so-called closed-fist injuries (CFI), do indeed have a poor prognosis, but it may be as much due to their location and initial neglect as to the source of the injury. Human bites elsewhere do not seem to have any higher risk than animal bites, which have an infection rate of about 10%. ( Source)And a 1995 review in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology concurred: Human bite wounds have long had a bad reputation for severe infection and frequent complication. However, recent data demonstrate that human bites occurring anywhere other than the hand present no more of a risk for infection than any other type of mammalian bite. ("

Lower: The commensal shrimp Periclimenes imperator on Chromodoris tinctoria, Koumac, New Caledonia, Oct, 1993. Photos: Bill Rudman. There are many examples in nature of two organisms living in close association with each other. The relationship can consist of two animals, two plants, a plant and an animal, or even a fungus and an algae (such as in lichens). Biologists have tried to give names to and define certain examples of 'living together' such as 'symbiosis' and 'mutualism' and 'parasitism' but it is often difficult to know where one type of association ends and another begins. It is probably better to think of these associations as part of a broad continuum ranging from free-living organisms that depend on others for food, to two organisms that will not survive unless they are always together such as the alga and fungus that combine to form each lichen 'species'. Here are definitions of a few of the most common words used by biologists to classify such inter-relationships. • Symbiosis: This comes from a Greek word simply meaning 'living together' and can be used to describe any association between two organisms. • Mutualism: This can be used to describe an association in which both organisms apparently benefit • Commensalism: In this association one organism [the commensal] benefits, and the other [the host] is apparently unaffected. •"

"text": "Slugs, Snails and Fresh Water Mollusksby DEANE in Critter Cuisine Gourmet apple snails found in the wild Are Slugs edible? What about Snails? There is only one rule you have to remember: When it comes to land snails, land slugs, and fresh water mollusks you must cook them thoroughly or they can kill you. Got that? Taste is a secondary consideration. Okay, why cook them? People do eat slugs raw on a dare, and the Indians used live slugs to numb gums, tongues and toothache. These common little creatures aren’t too bad unto themselves, but some of the land crawlers especially in warmer areas have parasites, one of which they can get from rat feces. That parasite, normally infecting a rat’s lung, goes from your stomach to your brain, crawling there over time — yes, crawling there — and causes your brain to swell. That big head folks have accused you of having will come to pass and kill you."

"text": "Home » Dog Conditions Poisoning Due to Ingesting Rat Poison in Dogs Strychnine Poisoning in Dogs Strychnine is a very dangerous and strong poison that is often used in baits used for killing rats, moles, gophers, and other rodents or unwanted predators. Having a very short duration of action, the clinical symptoms of strychnine poisoning typically appear within ten minutes to two hours after ingestion, resulting in sudden death. Patients often will die of strangulation due to spasming of the muscles involved in respiration. Dogs of all ages are equally susceptible to the adverse effects of strychnine. Symptoms and Types The following are some of the symptoms of strychnine poisoning: Limb rigidity Stiff muscles Severe spasms leading to arching of the head, neck and back in extreme hyperextension (opisthotonus)Uncontrolled violent seizures (sometimes in response to bright lights or noise)Breathing difficulties, inability to breathe Elevated heart rate High body temperature Vomiting Causes Malicious poisoning by lacing foods with strychnine Accidental exposure to baits (common in dogs)Ingestion of poisoned rodents and birds Diagnosis Treatment for strychnine poisoning needs to be given immediately. If you know or suspect that your dog was exposed to poison and you can gather a sample of vomit or feces to take to your veterinarian for immediate laboratory analysis, your doctor will be better able to treat your dog quickly and effectively. As much as possible, you will need to give your veterinarian a thorough history of your dog's health, onset of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have led to this condition. Blood samples will be taken for testing, as poison can cause a number of system failures and imbalances, and treatment will be based on the specific conditions, with the most serious being being given primary attention. Routine laboratory tests will include a complete blood count, biochemistry profile, and urinalysis. The biochemistry profile may indicate an abnormal rise in the levels of enzymes called creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, and the urinalysis may show high levels of the protein myglobin (myglobinuria)."

These ratings have been agreed upon by our team of vets and vet nurses and they tell you at-a-glance how serious the emergency situation may be, with red being the most severe.advice What is lungworm? Lungworm is a type of parasitic worm — called Angiostrongylus Vasorum — which can affect dogs, foxes and badgers. It lives in the heart and blood vessels that supply the lungs. It is described as an “emerging” disease, which simply means it’s gradually becoming more common. Traditionally, lungworm only appeared in certain “hot spots” in the south of England, but in recent years it has been identified in dogs in most of the UK. It’s unclear exactly what’s causing lungworm to spread — and that of other parasites such as ticks — but increased movement of pets around the country, as well as increasing contact between wildlife and the urban environment, is thought to have played a part. Lungworm can be serious, potentially even fatal, if left untreated. If you’re worried it may be causing your pet to be sick contact your vet as soon as possible or, out of hours, find your nearest Vets Now pet emergency clinic or Vets Now 24/7 hospital."

Photos Lamontagne/Photolibrary/Getty Images Hosta plants are herbaceous perennials. The most natural way to group the numerous varieties is by leaf color. The foliage can be blue, gold (yellow), or green. Or, sometimes, one will find a pleasing blend, as when there is just enough yellow and green to form chartreuse. In addition to all of this variety in color, these stars of the foliage world are often variegated . As if all of this were not enough, the leaves of hosta plants come in a number of sizes and shapes. Shapes can be elongated (sword-shaped, for instance) or something more rounded (such as those with heart-shaped leaves). In some cases, leaves are flat; in others, concave. Finally, leaf surfaces may be smooth or bubbled (the technical term for this bubbly look is \"\"seersuckered\"\")."

Well, that's not entirely true. When I was two years old, my family was camping in the Coast Range, which we did all the time. I was playing on a log near the campsite when I started screaming bloody murder and scared the heck out of my mom, who thought I had encountered a bear (black bears were still common around there), when really I had spotted a large banana slug sliming its way along the decaying wood. That was the only time I ever feared slugs. Love of slugs is often considered odd. Frankly, though, slugs are fascinating. The most common slug around here and where I go camping is the banana slug."

"text": "\"By Jenny Sigler, Spark People Contributor 4/7/2009Pests can invade, destroy, and annoy both the garden and the gardener. While bugs are an inevitable (yet sometimes rewarding) presence in your garden, you don’t need harmful chemicals to ward off these little visitors. Many tried and true organic solutions can zap away pests without the toxic residues of chemical pesticides, which can leak into the ground and contaminate the groundwater that eventually flows from our taps. Try these organic methods to keep common garden pests out of your garden safely and naturally. Aphids, also known as plant lice, are so common that almost every plant has one or more species that feed on it. They are small, soft-bodied insects that have needlelike mouths that suck the sap out of plants while simultaneously injecting the plant with their toxic saliva. This results in distortion and discoloration of the leaves and stem of a plant. Aphids can be brown, green, yellow, red, or black, depending on their species, but generally, you can counter all of them with the same methods. Aphids are particularly difficult to battle in that they are actually born pregnant, which means they multiply fast. To combat these crittersnaturally, first try to grow plants that attract predators of aphids, such as parasitic wasps (sweet alyssum, parsley, buckwheat, hairy vetch, yarrow, sunflowers and cosmos), ladybugs (dill, Queen Anne’s Lace yarrows, golden marguerite and fennel), hoverflies (tagetes), lacewings and praying mantids."

"text": "Snails and Slugs By Susan Jones Snails and slugs, ubiquitous orchid pests, can inflict a great deal of damage to virtually every part of an orchid. They wait for the cover of night to wreak their havoc. Snails and slugs, left unchecked, can infest a collection and kill your orchids fairly quickly. If you grow orchids outdoors or in a greenhouse, these pests are likely to be found in the vicinity of your growing area. Indoor growers may introduce them with a new plant, which can harbor snails, slugs or their eggs unseen in the growing medium. Snails and slugs eat mostly flowers, roots and tender new growths, although, if those are unavailable, they will consume any plant part. Because they do their damage primarily under the cover of darkness, they can be difficult to detect and eradicate. There are many different types of slugs and snails that will eat orchids; some of the more common are the orchid or bush snails (Zonitoides arboreus), the brown garden snail (Helix aspersa), the field slug (Deroceras reticulatum) and the marsh slug (Deroceras laeve). Early in the morning, you may be able to still find a snail that has been eating your flowers. Life Cycles These creatures are hermaphroditic, so every individual has both male and female organs and is capable of laying eggs."

And while over time, many methods have been developed to control these slimy pests, some methods work better than others. Our goal in creating this \"\"Definitive Guide\"\" was to show all the different ways how to kill snails and slugs, or simply control them, so you can choose which method, or combination of methods, will work best for you in your particular garden or situation. The snail and slug control methods listed below are not in any particular order, but all of these methods are organic, execept one, (and you'll see its drawbacks when you read it). The basic fact is that all these methods work to varying degrees, and after reading this guide, slug and snail control will be much easier for you, and you'll be able to implement something quickly and easily, and you won't have any further problems. Won't it be nice to have healthy, uneaten plants once again!Quick Identification First Before we get started, let's take a quick look at the difference between slugs and snails which is probably apparent to you, but let's take a quick look anyway. It is always easier to get rid of a pest when you understand it, its habits, and its lifecycle. Description Adults are soft-bodied, land-dwelling mollusks. Snails have coiled shells on their backs and are 1 to 1-1/2 inches (2.5 to 4 cm) long. Slugs are without shells."

The slug feeds mainly at night, preferring cool, moist hiding places during the day. Cool, wet spring conditions will result in large slug populations. A reader asks: Slugs travel across my very large back yard lawn and make their way each night to the back porch. By 8 PM there are at least 5-10 slugs at my back door. There is no food source there. I just wonder why the journey there and how can I stop it? Dear Reader: The slugs you are finding at your back door are seeking the moisture that gets trapped along the foundations of most structures. The east and north sides of structures usually provide the most shade and that is where most slugs will be found. Slugs are common pests during wet weather and can damage many types of plants in the garden."

But Binetti sprays a homemade half-and-half mixture of ammonia and water on the slugs. \"\" In order for the solution to work, you have to spray it directly on the slugs,\"\" she says.

A few common pests that frequently attack cucumber plants can be eradicated without significant damage to the plants, if they're caught in time. Viruses Many types of virus affect cucumber plants and their related species. Viruses, such as the cucumber mosaic virus, are spread by other pests. In the case of the cucumber mosaic virus, infected aphids pass the virus on to the cucumber plant in the process of feeding. To limit your plants' exposure to viruses, you must control and limit their exposure to insect pests. Insects Insects such as cucumber beetles and aphids can cause significant damage to young seedlings and will bore their way through various parts of the plant.

Given the proper environment, a family of slugs can devastate a vegetable crop in a matter of days. Understanding a few facts about slugs, like what do slugs eat, where do slugs live and what eats slugs can help you kill garden slugs in your garden. Facts about Slugs What do slugs eat – A better question than what do slugs eat would be what DON’T slugs eat. Slugs will eat any kind of vegetation but prefer tender leaves. This means that particularly tender-leaved plants or seedlings are very vulnerable to slug damage. Slugs will also eat vegetables and fruits, causing unsightly damage to crops. Where do slugs live – Slugs thrive in a high moisture environment. When considering where do slugs live in my garden, you should look for anywhere that moisture may be retained. Common places to find slugs will be under pots and containers, under mulch, under boards, under rocks and deep in overgrown vegetation."

Dear Earth Talk: What green-friendly lawn and garden pesticides are available today? I’m particularly interested in options that won’t harm my cats.-- Nancy Blanchard, via e-mail Pesticides have greatly boosted agricultural yields over the last half century, so it is no wonder, given the commercial availability of many of these synthetic chemicals, that American homeowners apply 100 million pounds of the stuff each year to make their own gardens grow bigger and faster, too. But the downside of using such chemicals is that they can poison people and pets as well as backyard wildlife: “Common insecticide ingredients such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), atrazine and dicamba have been shown to harm mouse embryos at times equivalent to the first week after conception in humans,” says Erica Glasener of The Green Guide. Due to such revelations, home gardeners are fast discovering the benefits of avoiding chemicals in favor of natural, less toxic alternatives. But before thinking about applying pesticides, gardeners can design (or re-design) their gardens to make the most of native plants that have evolved over eons to thrive in local conditions without synthetic aid or lots of water. Choosing native plants appropriate to your elevation, soil type, drainage and sun exposure will naturally repel many common pests and also reduce the propagation of invasive exotic species. Similarly, embedding your plants in healthy soil replete with beneficial insects and worms can also help reduce the need for pesticides. Laura Moran of Mainstreet.com suggests that home gardeners compost their vegetable food waste—which is chock full of nutrients that plants love—and mix it into existing soil to give the garden a healthy boost. “"

Best suited to mild, sunny places, canna lilies will die if left outdoors in freezing winter temperatures, but can be grown as annuals in warm locales. Though they're easy to grow, canna lilies are also susceptible to various pests and diseases that gardeners should be aware of. Leaf Rollers A type of caterpillar, the leaf roller is roughly three quarters of an inch long with an orange head. As they grow, leaf rollers turn yellow and finally, dark green before they finally turn into brown moths. Leaf rollers devour canna lily leaves and bind them together with silky strands, creating a place to hide and feed. The leaves of an infested plant are covered in black leaf-roller droppings. Snails and Slugs Hungry snails and slugs love to feed on canna lilies and will cover the plant's leaves with holes. To keep these pests away, remove any debris gathered around the base of the canna lilies, leaving them with nowhere to hide. Inspect the lilies at night when snails and slugs come out to feed, removing them from the plant and dropping them into a bucket of soapy or salted water."

In fact, they grow so fast and multiply so freely that, in a few years, you'll be splitting them apart and giving them away to friends. Hostas have become so ubiquitous in shaded suburban gardens that one species, Hosta lancifolia, is actually known as \"\"the Winnetka weed.\"\" But because they are so easy to grow and so adaptable to many situations, they tend to be taken for granted, even considered a little... boring. However, they are anything but, especially the more colorful, pest-resistant introductions. While many hostas have attractive flowers, it is their foliage that makes them indispensable for adding shape and substance to a shady garden. Native to Japan and China, the original species has been vastly improved on by plant breeders, with hostas now available in an incredible variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. There are hostas as large as 4 feet tall and 7 feet across, and others that are rock garden size, only 4 inches high."

Most brown leaves are caused by cultural problems, like watering, or normal seasonal changes In rare cases, pests or disease can be the culprit. Diagnosing the problem first is necessary before you decide what to do next. Drought Stress The most frequent cause of brown edges on hosta leaves is drought stress. Hostas grow best in soil that remains evenly moist. The leaves usually begin to droop or wilt before the problem becomes severe enough to cause browning. Increase watering so the plant receives at least 1 inch of water weekly, and cover the soil with a 2-inch mulch layer to help conserve moisture. Once the plant recovers, trim out any badly browned and damaged leaves to improve the appearance of the hosta. Petiole Rot The fungus Sclerotium rolfsii var."

The fern is native to tropical areas, but it also grows in Mediterranean climates and is hardy to U. S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 9 through 11. The fern produces two different types of leaves called fronds. The foliar and basal fronds grow tiny, star-shaped hairs that protect the staghorn fern from pests. Few insects attack the plant, although slugs, scales, spider mites and armored scale insects may cause some trouble. Spider Mites Spider mites commonly infest houseplants, causing leaf discoloration and injury as they feed from a plant's sap. If left untreated, a spider mite infestation may cause severe damage and plant death. Spider mites tend to infest staghorn ferns when the plants are kept too dry. Spraying an infested fern with water knocks spider mites off the plant. Staghorn ferns should be kept away from plants infested with spider mites, as the insects spread to other plants rapidly."

"text": "\"Slugs & Snails can be found most anywhere there's vegetation in Davis. In fact, since it was originally founded as an ag school, Davis should properly have a slug as its mascot rather than a horse that poops alot... I mean you see way more slugs in Davis than horses! Anyway, both slugs and snails belong to the mollusca phylum which includes the devilfish, octopi, squids, clams, and oysters; the huge snail/slug class is known as gastropoda. Gastropods are a soft-bodied type of mollusk that is basically a head with a flattened foot; most gastropods are aquatic animals, such as Northern California's wonderful red abalone or a common limpet, and both snails and slugs are the only terrestrial mollusk. The brown garden snail that we typically see in Davis is the European brown snail [Helix (Cyptoomphalus) aspersa Müller]. This plant feeder has been disseminated into many parts of the world intentionally as a food delicacy, accidentally by the movement of plants, and by hobbyists who collect snails. It was introduced to California in the 1850s as a source of escargot and has become very troublesome as a pest of crops and ornamentals. Though you can eat snails from your yard, be aware that even though you may not use snail/slug bait, poison laid out by your neighbor may infect seemingly healthy snails in your yard — ingesting poisoned snails can kill you! Be sure to read more about farming garden snails before consuming any slimy things off the ground. To be on the safe side, you could always buy some canned escargot at Cost Plus World Market instead. Essentially, the only difference between slugs and snails is that snails carry coiled shells on their backs while slugs don't."

"text": "\"Moss roses are hardy annual flowers for full sun that are sometimes eaten by common garden pests like slugs, snails, earwigs, aphids, mites, whiteflies, thrips, and other small insects. Pests that eat moss roses can be easily controlled by frequent weeding and the use of soap sprays and slug repellents. Video of the Day Features Moss roses are low-growing annuals with brightly colored quarter-sized flowers and spongy succulent leaves that look a little like cactus or jade leaves. Also known as portulaca, moss roses will leave the garden bed and grow wild in some warmer parts of the United States, and are especially well-suited to hot dry conditions. Prevention/Solution Moss roses can be bothered by small bugs like mites, aphids, thrips, and earwigs, and are also a good food for snails and slugs. All of these pests thrive in wet, crowded conditions. Planting moss roses in a dry, sunny place and weeding frequently is usually enough to prevent insect and slug damage. Treating Insect Problems Moss roses occasionally fall prey to little sucking bugs like aphids and thrips. Most bugs are easily kept off of moss roses by spraying the plants once or twice a week with plain soapy water. A little dish soap mixed with warm water in a spray bottle works well and won't harm the plants."

They are one of the most versatile plants you can add to your container gardens. I love them and am always looking for a new variety or color to try. I started out planting hostas in my shady garden beds, but all of the ones I have grown in containers have done really well and I like having them up close on the deck and patio as well as in the shady corners of my yard. Most hostas grow well in partial sun / partial shade conditions. I have tried them in full sun, but they got a little dry and brown along the edges of the leaves during the hottest part of the summer, even with regular watering Characteristics Hostas come in all sizes and in a lot of colors. Miniature types grow to only a few inches across, while large sizes may reach as wide as 6 to 8 feet. When selecting hostas for containers, just check their mature height and width. Most of the ones I’ve found in garden centers have been good sizes for pots or boxes. Hostas come in solid colors, or in variegated combinations."

"text": "An original Harvey Ball smiley face (image: The World Smiley Foundation)In the 1994 Robert Zemeckis film, Forrest Gump stumbles into the history books as he runs across the country. At one point, he meets a poor T-shirt salesman who, Gump recalls, “wanted to put my face on a T-shirt but he couldn’t draw that well and he didn’t have a camera.” As luck would have it, a truck drives by and splashes Gump’s face with mud. He wipes his face on a yellow T-shirt and hands it back to the down-on-his-luck entrepreneur, telling him to “have a nice day.” The imprint of Gump’s face left a perfect, abstract smiling face on the bright yellow t-shirt. And thus, an icon was born. As you probably expect, that was not how the iconic smiley face was created. There was no cross-country runner or struggling t-shirt salesman, there was no truck or mud puddle. There was, however, a graphic designer, some devious salesmen, and an ambitious newspaper man – all add up to a surprisingly complex history for such a simple graphic. It’s largely accepted that the original version of the familiar smiley face was first created 50 years ago in Worcester, Massachusetts by the late Harvey Ross Ball, an American graphic artist and ad man."

On the average bees and wasps cause twelve deaths a year while snakes cause about ten deaths a year. Now you shouldn't let you take spider bites lightly because spider bites can cause serious injury even if they don't kill you. Black Widow spiders have more potent venom than other spiders.

The success (both critical and commercial) of Warner Bros’ The LEGO Movie has changed the way that studios think about leveraging commercial brands within feature films, looking to increasingly unconventional properties as potential “outside the box” material for narrative films. Fox has had Play-Doh: The Movie in development for about a year, and esoteric fare like Viewmaster and Magic 8-Ball have been optioned elsewhere. Nevertheless, few upcoming projects were greeted with as many curious expressions as The Emoji Movie: a pitch Sony acquired the rights to after a fierce bidding war. Sony officially announced the orginal animated feature at the 2016 Cinema Con in Las Vegas, offering fans and journalists the first glimpse at exactly what kind of story the studio aims to tell with the project. Advertising [x]While the response to the project by many has been skepticism as to both why and how anyone would attempt to build a feature film out of the ubiquitous smiley-face graphics used to denote emotion in text messages and on social media, the studio’s presentation made it immediately clear that The Emoji Movie (which may get a different title in the future) is viewed by the studio as a major branding opportunity: The film will take place within the digital world of a smartphone, and the studio is angling for the makers of popular existing apps to join up as commercial partners on the project in order to see their products featured as part of the storyline. The film’s setup (the original pitch and screenplay came from the writing duo of Eric Siegel and animation veteran Anthony Leondis) appears similar to that of earlier “digital world” films like Tron and Wreck-It-Ralph, but relocated into the language of smartphones. Explained Sony Pictures Animation President Kristine Belson:“Inside your phone, there’s a secret world– and we enter through the text app where we discover Emoji Valley, where the industrious Emoji live and work. ”Advertising [x]The storyline will involve the main characters (presumably the Emoji themselves) leaving Emoji Valley for the broader world of their phone’s homescreen, where they discover that they can enter the other worlds that exist within each individual app. According to Belson, this will involve imaginative scenarios like the Emoji riding boats on an actual stream representing the world of the music-streaming app, and a report by The Wrap reveals that streaming giant Spotify has already closed a deal for their service to sponsor this segment of the film."

Contents [ show]Concept Edit The black costume originated in 1982 from an idea submitted by 22-year-old fan Randy Schueller, after Marvel ran a competition for aspiring writers and artists to elicit new ideas for the Marvel Universe. Schueller's idea was to slightly upgrade Spider-Man's abilities and appearance: he would don a new black, stealth-like suit designed by Reed Richards and The Wasp of the Avengers. Composed of the same unstable molecules found in the Fantastic Four's costumes, this new suit would be more durable and stealth-like than the handmade red and blue costume. The idea was purchased by Jim Shooter at Marvel for the sum of 220 US dollars (over 500 dollars today) and the opportunity to craft the story. Schueller submitted different versions of the story, but ultimately, Marvel took creative control. [ 1]It was not until 1984's Secret Wars that the black costume would debut. Having damaged his original costume in battle, Spider-Man discovers a machine thought to be a fabric replicator. The machine produces a black sphere, which then engulfs Peter in black goo, eventually forming his suit while augmenting his powers and abilities. The suit would later be revealed to be a symbiotic lifeform."

It can reside in the Midwest, to the southern states, as well as states as far north as Ohio. It can also live in Hawaii. They are generally less than 1 inch long; however, some may get larger if there is plenty of food nearby. Brown recluse spiders love to make their homes in closets and beds, sheds, and piles of rubbles. They do prefer the outdoors, since more food is available there. A brown recluse spider will have a violin shape on its back, and you can usually tell the difference between a brown recluse and other spider varieties.

[ 5]In Western countries, emoticons are usually written at a right angle to the direction of the text. Users from Japan popularized a kind of emoticon called kaomoji ( 顔文字; lit. 顔 (kao)=face, 文字 (moji)=character (s)) that can be understood without tilting one's head to the left. This style arose on ASCII NET of Japan in 1986. [ 6] [7]As SMS and the internet became widespread in the late 1990s, emoticons became increasingly popular and were commonly used on text messages, internet forums and e-mails."

Yes Somewhat No Answer by Mike Ruflin Confidence votes 191The Banana Spider is known to hide among bananas shipped to the US and is really called the Brazilian Wandering Spider. These spiders are aggressive and very venomous and not intimidated by size (can attack people when threatened). The odd part about the Banana Spider is that studies indicate only 33% of the spider bites actually contain any significant amount of venom, but those that are injected with venom could be in serious danger!!!!!! If you are bitten by a Brazilian Wandering spider (Phoneutria spp. ), you should seek immediate emergency treatment as the venom could possibly be life threatening."

Image via Wikipedia And that’s the one thing I dislike most about spring and summer – the bugs emerge, bigger and more resistant to pesticides every year. They get into the house who-knows-how and I swear they laugh as they terrorize me. Why on earth are spiders getting so darned BIG??! I heard last year that because summers here in the northeast are hotter and more humid than ever, bugs are growing bigger, more like tropical bugs. I need to move to Alaska. We’ve already gotten four stink bugs in the house, far more than typically come into the house in an entire spring/summer season. Stink bugs are the skunks of the insect world."

Well, the answer is not a straight forward one. Just as no organ can be singled out as the most important organ, we cannot single out a particular muscle as the strongest muscle in the human body. The human body is a unique and intelligently designed structure, with a complex network of muscles enveloping it. Muscles form about 40% of the total body weight. They are contractile tissues, that are formed from the mesodermal layer of the embryonic germ cells. The various movements we make with our bodies like walking, talking, lifting, smiling, shivering, etc. are all controlled by the different muscles of the body. Besides bringing about movement, the muscles are also responsible for heat generation and maintaining posture. The uniqueness about muscles is that they never stop working."

The vesicouterine pouch is the shallow pouch which is created where the peritoneum adjusts over the urinary bladder. An adjustment over the rectum forms a similar pouch known as the rectouterine pouch or the pouch of Douglas. This pouch is the lowest place within the uterus and is often used surgically as a point of entry.

Share Email Print Feedback Definition Uterine smooth muscle tumors are neoplasms composed of smooth muscle; they range from benign leiomyomas to low-grade and high-grade leiomyosarcomas. Several histologic subtypes exist, including usual (spindled), epithelioid, and myxoid tumors. Epidemiology Leiomyomas are the most common benign neoplasm in women; it has been estimated that these tumors occur in at least 25% of all women, which is probably an underestimation, because this figure is based on a select population (ie, women with symptoms or women who undergone hysterectomies or imaging for a variety of reasons). Leiomyomas are more frequent in black women. Leiomyosarcomas are rare, comprising fewer than 5% of all gynecologic malignancies and 30% of all uterine sarcomas. Other types of sarcomas include endometrial stromal sarcoma, sarcoma not otherwise specified (NOS), adenosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma; some reports include sarcomatoid carcinoma. [ 1]Leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas are believed to develop independently and are not progressive. This belief is based on population studies, as well as genetic and cytogenetic profiles of these tumors and the fact that they lack shared mutations and transformations. Etiology There is little known about predisposing factors for the development of leiomyosarcomas. Location The majority of uterine smooth muscle tumors occur in the corpus, but the cervix, vaginal canal, broad ligament, and ovaries may also be involved."

The perimetrium is characterized by an outer layer of thin, visceral peritoneum. A broad ligament then runs and continues on to the uterine wall’s lateral segment. When the peritoneum passes over the urinary bladder, a shallow pouch called the vesicouterine pouch is formed. When an adjustment is made over the rectum, the pouch that is formed is called the pouch of Douglas or the rectouterine pouch. This is the base of the uterus and this is where surgical entries are usually made. A rather thick layer, the myometrium is composed of three layers of smooth but thick muscle that form portions. These muscles lay in eiher a circular, longitudinal or spiral pattern. The myometrium’s thickest point is found in the fundus; it’s thinnest part is in the cervix. The muscles of this layer respond and contract to stimuli triggered during parturition."

Not only is the pregnant patient at risk for increased morbidity and mortality, but the fetus may also be adversely affected. In the prehospital setting, a patient complaint of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy heightens the suspicion that the uterus is the source of hemorrhage. This is alarming, since the pregnant uterus is very vascular and has a rich blood supply. Interestingly, it is possible for the pregnant patient to be experiencing severe uterine bleeding but present with little to no vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy can occur at any time and may be due to a variety of conditions. Bleeding that occurs prior to the 20th week of gestation commonly results from ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortion. Vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy is considered to occur during or after the 20th week of gestation. Approximately 4% of pregnant patients will experience bleeding after the 20th week of gestation. Late-pregnancy bleeding often arises from abnormal or premature separation of the placenta from the innermost uterine wall."

"text": "Five Functions of the Muscular Systemby PAULA QUINENE Aug. 14, 2017The human muscular system includes skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles attach to your bones, stabilizing the skeleton and enabling voluntary and reflexive movement. Smooth muscle tissue found in blood vessels and various body organs produces involuntary movement essential for normal function. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the wall of the heart, enabling its pumping action. In addition to structural and movement-related functions, the muscular system helps maintain normal body temperature. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Voluntary and Reflexive Movement Skeletal muscles normally account for at least 40 percent of your body weight and are categorized as appendicular or axial based on body location. The large muscles of your arms and legs are appendicular skeletal muscles. The axial skeletal muscles include those of your trunk, head and neck. Contraction of skeletal muscle produces voluntary gross and fine movements, a primary function of the muscular system. Gross movement refers to large coordinated movements such as walking, running, jumping, sitting down, standing up, lifting large objects, swimming, and swinging a bat or racket."

The cytoplasm is homogeneously eosinophilic and consists mainly of myofilaments. The nucleus is located in the center and takes a cigar-like shape during contraction. The cell membrane forms small pouch-like invaginations into the cytoplasm (caveolae) which are functionally equivalent to the T-tubules of the skeletal musculature. The smooth muscle cells are anchored to the surrounding connective tissue by a basal lamina. The smooth muscle fibers group in branching bundles. As opposed to skeletal muscle fibers these bundles do not run strictly parallel and ordered but consist in a complex system. Thus the cells can contract much stronger than striated musculature. The actin filaments are stretched between dense bodies in the cytoplasm and attachment plaques at the cell membrane. The myosin filaments lie between the actin filaments."

Leiomyomas usually occur during the third and fourth decades, and are often multiple, although a single tumor may occur. They are usually small but may grow quite large and occupy most of the uterine wall; after menopause, growth usually ceases. Symptoms vary according to thelocation and size of the tumors. As they grow they may cause pressure on neighboring organs,painful menstruation, profuse and irregular menstrual bleeding, vaginal discharge, or frequenturination, as well as enlargement of the uterus. In pregnancy, the tumors may interfere with natural enlargement of the uterus with the growingfetus."

Development of the Respiratory Tractthe respiratory tract develops from foregut endoderm and associated mesoderm A. Early developmentthe first sign of lung development is the appearance during the 4th week of gestation of the respiratory diverticulum, which is a ventral outgrowth of the foregut endoderm.outgrowth and proliferation of the respiratory diverticulum depends on factors from the surrounding mesoderm, including retinoic acid signaling, which induces expression of TBX4 in the endoderm essential for differentiation of the trachea and lungs. Disruption of the mesoderm, retinoic acid signaling, or TBX4 expression in the endoderm will interfere with this process and can cause defects in lung/trachea development.as the respiratory diverticulum grows, longitudinal mesodermal folds called the tracheo-esophageal ridges form that eventually pinch off to separate the trachea from the esophagus. Disruption of the formation of the tracheo-esophageal ridges can result in tracheo-esophageal fistulas. This is very often associated with a spectrum of mesodermal defects called the VATER association (Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Tracheoesophageal fistula, Esophageal atresia, and Renal atresia), or, if Cardiac defects and Limb defects are also present, VACTERL. Tracheoesophageal fistulas occur in about 1/3000 births and most are of the sort where the proximal esophagus ends blindly whereas the distal esophagus communicates with the trachea via a fistula. Complications arise both prenatally and postnatally: PRENATALLY: polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) due to an inability of the fetus to swallow the amniotic fluid (an important part of the recycling the fluid)POSTNATALLY: infants cough and choke IMMEDIATELY upon feeding due to an inability to swallow; connection of lower esophagus to the trachea can allow gastric contents to get into lungs causing irritation and possibly pneumonitis (inflammation of the lungs). An extreme example is tracheal atresia where the trachea fails to form entirely and the lungs bud directly from the esophagus. B. Development of the larynx The epithelial lining and glands of the larynx are derived from endoderm, which proliferates and temporarily occludes the lumen of the larynx . Growth and expansion of the wall of the larynx combined with apoptosis of some the epithelium leads to recanalization of the larynx by about 10 weeks. The cartilage and muscles of the larynx arise from mesenchyme from the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches."

How does a mother's body know when it is time to give birth? How does the labor process begin and end? Learn the answers to these questions in this lesson on the hormones involved in childbirth. Hormones of Labor Ever wonder how the body knows it's time to give birth? Does the baby tell the mother's body it's ready, or does the mother's body just know? What goes on in the body to initiate the birthing process? Well, as you may have guessed, the baby and body use signals to communicate. The baby communicates to the mother's uterus when it is ready to be born by sending out signals in the form of hormones, those chemical messengers the body uses to relay instructions from one area to another."

It is divided into two subgroups; the single-unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit cells, the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium.

A series of axon-like swelling, called varicosities or \"\"boutons\"\", from autonomic neurons form motor units through the smooth muscle. Most smooth muscle is of the single-unit variety, that is, either the whole muscle contracts or the whole muscle relaxes, but there is multiunit smooth muscle in the trachea, the large elastic arteries, and the iris of the eye. Single unit smooth muscle, however, is most common and lines blood vessels (except large elastic arteries), the urinary tract, and the digestive tract. However, the terms single- and multi-unit smooth muscle represents an oversimplification."

Snakehead fish got their name because of their long, cylindrical body plan and large scales on their head that give them a snake-like appearance. In the United States, there are four species of snakeheads: Channa argus (northern snakehead), Channa micropeltes (giant snakehead), Channa marulius (bullseye snakehead), and Channa maculate (blotched snakehead). The northern snakehead fish has succeeded in establishing breeding populations in the wild. This species is of concern because it is a top predator and disrupts the natural aquatic feeding structure in ecosystems. Northern snakehead fish. Photo: U. S. Geological Survey Archive, U. S. Geological Survey, Bugwood.org Origin The snakehead fish family is native to parts of Asia and Africa. The northern snakehead fish species is native to China and possibly Korea and Russia.

Thanks to their ability to grow rapidly, reproduce quickly, and adapt easily to a variety of habitat conditions, these invaders are thriving. Typically, they will out compete our natives for resources and by doing so they decrease the populations of those species. Invasive species are capable of dominating a landscape because their natural predators and control mechanisms are absent. Often, these species are not native to Indiana, but rather introduced from different countries and regions. How can you identify a species as invasive and non-native? Use the USDA National Invasive Species Information Center website as a starting point to read about specific threats to Indiana and access numerous informative links. Also take a glance at Purdue's CAPS program where you can select your pest, habitat, or county to learn more about a pest species that could be problematic. Are any of your plants harmed by those on the \"\"Most Unwanted\"\" invasive plant pest species list? DNR also lists invasive species that you may encounter in Indiana, with information on what to do if you think you spot an invasive plant or animal."

"text": "The Bowfin New York's Disrespected Living Fossil Article by Randy Jackson, Senior Research Associate, Cornell University One of New York's most unique fish, the bowfin is the sole living survivor of a group of fishes whose fossil representatives date back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The features of today's bowfin differ very little from their fossil ancestors dating back 65 million years, so they offer a true glimpse into New York's prehistoric past. Range Bowfin are widespread through the eastern United States. Their native range extends from the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers and Lake Champlain west through the Great lakes and south down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, west to the Texas border, east through the state of Florida and up the Atlantic coast. In New York, they can be found in the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlain drainages and have been introduced into a few waters in the southeastern part of the state. Biology The bowfin's appearance is as distinctive as its character. Their body is roughly torpedo shaped, with a bullet-shaped head. Their mouth contains rows of short, sharp teeth on both the upper and lower jaws. The fin along their back runs more than half the total length of the fish, and the tail fin is larger towards the top than the bottom. Bowfin are greenish in color, sometimes with brown or gray shading, and have a white or yellow underside."

"text": "\"The Invasive Northern Snakeheads (Channa argus): a Friend or Foe? Hace 230 semanas 4 días 8 horas Posted by Leo Sheng at 3:02 PMHello, Readers!After so many blue moons, I'm finally bringing you guys an entire post that covers the invasive Northern Snakehead Species in the USA ( Channa argus ), which has been anextremely exciting topic in the fishing community since 2002 (and upsetting for some). August 3rd, 2012 - Leo S. with a small Northern Snakehead (Channa argus) from Newton Lake, NJ. During these last 3 years that I've been active in the local fishing community, I've heard way too much about Northern Snakeheads: I've heard about it from fellow anglers, from the general public, from the media (TV and online articles), not to mention that I've seen multiple threads on Northern Snakeheads in different fishing forums (most of them end up in fights because of divided opinions and tons of headache because of biased information on the same). Summarizing all of that - the opinions in the fishing community are always divided in two sections: on one side, there's a part of the community that views this Species of fish as a danger to our aquatic ecosystems and \"\"native fishes\"\" (in quotes, because many anglers don't really understand the definition of a fish being native to a certain body of water); therefore, they kill every single one of them and they firmly support their eradication. On the other side, there's a part of the community that believes that Northern Snakeheads can no longer be eradicated, especially because they are already in open bodies of water (i.e. Delaware River, Schuylkill River, Potomac River); therefore, they are willing to accept this Invasive Species as a \"\"game fish\"\" (in quotes, because the term sport fish/game fish is really relative) and they support the no-harvest idea for Northern Snakeheads. Every time I post a photo of a Northern Snakehead on this fishing blog or my fishing page on Facebook, aggressive e-mails and responses start to come in (i.e. \"\"Kill them! They are destroying our ecosystems!\"\") Even nowadays, I still receive some e-mails from time to time concerning Northern Snakeheads: people ask me about my opinion on their impact; where do I fish for them around Philadelphia and South Jersey; which \"\"side\"\" do I stand with; etc. The e-mails are imminent; after all, it's quite obvious that many people, including members of the fishing community, still don't know enough about them."

Some fish thrive in cold water while others need tropical conditions for their survival. The article that follows will list the different types of fish. By Ashwini Ambekar | Thursday, January 01, 2009Fish are vertebrates which are animals with backbone and they survive in water with the help of gills that help them to breathe. Their body is streamlined to suit swimming in water. There are as many as 25000 different types of fish in the different water sources all around the world. These fascinating creatures are found in almost every water source and environment. E.g. : Even in Antarctic a fish type called icefish is found and this fish survives in the water that is below freezing point. These different types of fish can include jawless fish, body fish and cartilaginous fish. Bony and cartilaginous fish have jaws."

The northern snakehead is an aggressive freshwater fish that can grow to be about 4 feet long. It has been found in a variety of freshwater lakes, swamps, ponds, and streams of various temperatures, but cannot tolerate saltwater. The northern snakehead fish is native to parts of Asia and Africa. Is it here yet? No, although the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife recently confiscated a northern snakehead at the Canadian border. It has been seen in the wild in several locations on the East Coast. Why should I care? Northern snakehead fish are voracious eaters that prey on fish, crustaceans, frogs, insects, small reptiles, birds, and mammals, with significant impacts to food chains and ecosystems. Adults may attack humans who approach young."

"text": "What Ontario is Doing To prevent this unwanted invader from coming into the province, Ontario has regulated all 28 species of snakehead (including Northern Snakehead) as prohibited under the Invasive Species Act. For more information on the Invasive Species Act and Regulations visit www.ontario.ca/invasion ON. Background The northern snakehead is a predatory fish native to southern and eastern Asia that is now found in several American states. This fish was likely introduced to the United States by people who bought live snakehead from fish markets or pet shops and later released them into lakes, rivers or ponds. The northern snakehead is a voracious predator that lives in lakes, ponds, rivers and streams in water temperatures ranging from 0° to 30°C. It has been reported to travel on land for short distances by wiggling its body forward. A lung-like organ enables it to absorb oxygen by gulping air at the surface, allowing it to thrive in water that is low in oxygen and to survive out of water in moist conditions for up to four days. The snakehead has been dubbed a “frankenfish” because of its reptile-like behaviour, aggressive eating habits and mouthful of long, sharp teeth. Range Outside its native range, northern snakeheads have established breeding populations in the states of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York. Small numbers of fish have been found in several other states."

"text": "Snakehead Fish Recent reports from Maryland and Virginia on the presence of snakehead fish in their waters are cause for concern for West Virginia. Snakeheads have not been collected by our fisheries staff, or reported caught by anglers in West Virginia waters, but they have been found in a pet shop and in a home aquarium. We are concerned that these and other invasive aquatic species could become established in West Virginia and cause significant harm to our aquatic environments, particularly sport fish populations. Please do not release the fish if you think that it may be a snakehead. Snakeheads have been added to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's injurious wildlife list ( Current Injurious Wildlife Species List ). Under this regulation, the importation into the United States and transportation across state lines are illegal . Additionally, West Virginia state law regulates the release of fish and other aquatic organisms into waters of the state. Invasive aquatic species are an increasing threat to aquatic ecosystems across the country. Introductions of invasive zebra mussels and round gobies have had impacts on sport fishing in Lake Erie , and some species of Asian carp are threatening the Great Lakes as well. Recreational impacts and economic costs associated with invasive species can be substantial if invasive species do become a problem."

"text": "\"Northern Snakehead What are northern snakeheads? Northern snakeheads ( Channa argus) are predatory fish native to Asia. They were most likely introduced to New York through aquarium dumping and accidental, as well as intentional, releases from fish markets. It is crucial that we stop the spread of this invasive predator to protect the health of our waters, wildlife and fishing industry. Identification Northern snakeheads are long, thin fish with a single fin running the length of the back. They are generally brown with large, dark blotches along their sides and can grow up to three feet long. They have a somewhat flattened head and a large mouth with many teeth. Northern snakeheads are very similar to our native bowfin ( Amia calva ), which can most easily be distinguished from snakeheads by a shorter anal fin and a rounded tail fin. Where are they located? Northern snakehead has been found in Queens County Although this species prefers to live in stagnant shallow ponds or swamps, it can inhabit any of our canals, reservoirs, lakes, and rivers."

Invasive species, whether they are animals, fish or plants, are causing a huge problem around the world. An invasive species can cause huge disruptions to fragile, local ecosystems, as they often have no natural predators in their new habitat, take over territory and food sources required by indigenous animals for survival and sometimes even destroy terrain. The discovery of a new invasive species in an area for the first time is always a cause for concern. However, sometimes media reactions to such discoveries can throw people into a frenzy and panic by totally overhyping the possible dangers of their presence to the local population and environment. One such invasive species is the snakehead fish in the United States. They have been dubbed ‘Frankenfish’ or ‘fish from hell’ and there are already many urban myths circulating about these introduced fish."

"text": "Pets Fish Are fish herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are all 3 types. Carnivorous fish also fall under piscivores (fish eating animals). Those who keep planted tanks should obviously avoid herbivorous fish or those who eat live plants eg. headstanders, silver dollar, scat, distichodus, leporinus, goldfish, butterfly goodeid, pacu, prochilodus, silver shark, tinfoil barb, severum, some African cichlids, plecos. Some fish will eat any kind of plants, while others may prefer certain types like fine-leaved ones. Many of the fish mentioned above will grow to quite a large size. For carnivorous or predatory fish (eg. wolf fish, many larger catfish, arowanas, snakehead, bichir, piranha etc), some people feed them feeder fish but others give them worms & other live food or stuff like beef heart so as to not encourage them to snack on tankmates. But I think you really can't prevent natural behavior."

Common names include mudfish, mud pike, dogfish, griddle, grinnel, cypress trout and choupique. They are regarded as taxonomic relicts, being the sole surviving species of the order Amiiformes which dates from the Jurassic to the Eocene, persisting to the present. Although bowfin are highly evolved, they are often referred to as \"\" primitive fishes \"\" because they have retained some morphological characteristics of their early ancestors. Bowfin are demersal freshwater piscivores native to North America, and commonly found throughout much of the eastern United States, and in southern Ontario and Quebec. Fossil deposits indicate Amiiformes were once widespread in both freshwater and marine environments with a range that spanned across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Now their range is limited to much of the eastern United States and adjacent southern Canada, including the drainage basins of the Mississippi River, Great Lakes and various rivers exiting in the Eastern Seaboard or Gulf of Mexico. Their preferred habitat includes vegetated sloughs, lowland rivers and lakes, swamps and backwater areas; they are also occasionally found in brackish water. They are stalking, ambush predators known to move into the shallows at night to prey on fish and aquatic invertebrates such as crawfish, mollusks, and aquatic insects. Like gars, bowfin are bimodal breathers which means they have the capacity to breathe both water and air."

"text": "BY Dave Dickinson IN Science & Technology March 18, 2011 No comment 19Animal and plant species are uniquely adapted to their ecological niche. But where man goes, invasive species frequently follow, or at least hitch a ride. These invaders can cause millions of dollars in damage each year and may destroy native species and habitats. Ironically, some of these invasive species were introduced into the United States years ago to solve an environmental problem, before their destructive potential became apparent. Following are the 10 most troublesome invasive species wreaking havoc in the U. S., ranked according to several factors, including economic damage, the extent of their habitat and the potential for future damage to the economy and the environment.10. Rusty Crayfish The rusty crayfish is a native of the Ohio River basin, but has spread to the Northeast and Upper Midwest, as well as other regions, where it eats fish eggs and displaces other crayfish species. Although most rusty crayfish are spread by fisherman using them as bait, the species has arrived in other areas in unexpected ways. For example, rusty crayfish apparently reached some states via shipments from science teaching-supply companies.9. Africanized Bee A plot device for many bad Hollywood movies in the 1970s, Africanized (or “killer”) bees were introduced in South America in the 1950s as a means to increase honey production by interbreeding with native species. Africanized bees are now common in the Southern U. S. and will no doubt become more pervasive with climate change."

With all of these fish in our backyard, you don't need to travel hours to trout streams to fly fish, you can swing by the tidal Potomac on the way to or from work. So, I want to fish the Potomac, where should I go? There are a nearly infinite number of great fishing spots in the Capital area; with such a big river, you might not know where to go, where to park, which tide to fish, etc. We have made the job of finding spots easier by putting together a dynamic map of the hot fishing spots in our area, see it here. So, I'm ready to fish in the Potomac, do I need to buy a Fishing License? Yes, you wil need to have and display a fishing license to fish the Potomac. Within Washington DC, fishing from either side of the bank (that is Virginia or DC), you must posess a District of Columbia Sport Fishing License. This license is available online here."

Since lizards are only active when their body is at its ideal, warm temperature, the sunny, warm climate in the desert provides an environment where they can thrive. Body Temperature Each species of lizard has a range of optimal body temperatures. For example, the desert iguana's body temperature range is 100 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. In the active range of temperatures, lizards can hunt, eat, move quickly and reproduce. If the lizard's temperature drops below the ideal range, he will not be able to move quickly and metabolic processes will slow dramatically.

CBS News Share Tweet Reddit Flipboard Email Dinosaurs may not have been cold-blooded like modern reptiles or warm-blooded like mammals and birds -- instead, they may have dominated the planet for 135 million years with blood that ran neither hot nor cold, but was a kind of in-between that's rare nowadays, researchers say. Modern reptiles such as lizards, snakes and turtles are cold-blooded or ectothermic, meaning their body temperatures depend on their environments. Birds and mammals, on the other hand, are warm-blooded, meaning they control their own body temperatures, attempting to keep them at a safe constant -- in the case of humans, at about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). Dinosaurs are classified as reptiles, and so for many years scientists thought the beasts were cold-blooded, with slow metabolisms that forced them to lumber across the landscape. However, birds are modern-day dinosaurs and warm-blooded, with fast metabolic rates that give them active lifestyles, raising the question of whether or not their extinct dinosaur relatives were also warm-blooded. [ Avian Ancestors: Dinosaurs That Learned to Fly (Images)]Animal metabolism To help solve this decades-old mystery, researchers developed a new method for analyzing the metabolism of extinct animals. They found \"\"dinosaurs do not fit comfortably into either the cold-blooded or warm-blooded camp -- they genuinely explored a middle way,\"\" said lead study author John Grady, a theoretical ecologist at the University of New Mexico. Scientists often seek to deduce the metabolisms of extinct animals by looking at the rates at which their bones grow."

While the snake has a bad rap as a pest, snakes can often be quite helpful and even a fun pet. Size With so many different species, there are snakes of many different sizes. The world's smallest snake, according to National Geographic, is the thread snake, which grows to only about 3.9 inches (10 centimeters) long. It looks much like an earthworm. The largest snake, the reticulated python, can grow to a whopping 30 feet (9 meters). The largest snake fossil ever discovered is called the Titanoboa. This creature lived 60 million years ago and would have been 50 feet (15 meters) long.

A snake will sometimes bite in self-defence if disturbed or provoked. Most snake bites occur when someone accidentally steps on a snake while walking in the countryside. Some snakes are venomous and can inject venom containing toxins as they bite. A bite from a venomous snake is a medical emergency because it can be deadly if not treated quickly. In the UK, adders (pictured above) are the only venomous snakes found in the wild. People also keep foreign (exotic) venomous snakes, sometimes illegally. Exotic snakes have been known to bite while being handled carelessly, or when they escape from their cages. There's also a risk of being bitten while travelling abroad to tropical countries."

Thus, the temperature of a snake cage is an essential \"\"ingredient\"\" in proper snake care. Figuring out the proper temperature for your snake cage will require a bit of research. That's because every snake species has a different \"\"temperature zone\"\" in which that species will thrive. For example, the ideal temperatures for a ball python cage are too hot for a corn snake, and vice versa. The best way to determine the ideal cage temperature for the species of snake you are keeping is to buy a care manual on that species. You can also use the Internet to find a wealth of articles and advice on the subject of cage temperatures -- which is how you found this article in the first place. For example, if you are going to keep a California kingsnake, you could simply type the following search query into a major search engine like Google or Yahoo: \"\"California kingsnake cage temperature.\"\" In fact, I searched this phrase while writing this article just to experiment, and I found a lot of excellent articles on keeping California kingsnakes -- including advice on cage temperature.

What does it mean to be warm-blooded or cold-blooded? The temperature of an animal's blood is related to its body temperature. Warm-Blooded vs. Cold-Blooded Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature. These thermal infrared images of warm-blooded animals, show how birds and mammals maintain body temperatures well above the surrounding, cooler air temperature."

"text": "How Do Wild Snakes Keep Warm? By Jasey Kelly Snakes, being cold-blooded, do not shiver or put on more fat or fur to remain warm and alive during colder temperatures like warm-blooded creatures do. The sun's warmth plays a large part in keeping their bodies at the ideal temperature, as does their ability to slow down their metabolism and other body systems. Cold-Blooded Animals are either cold- or warm-blooded. Cold-blooded animals' bodies are the same temperature as the air around them; warm-blooded animals' bodies maintain a regular temperature despite the air temperature. Mammals and birds are warm-blooded; snakes, lizards, other reptiles, fish and insects are cold-blooded. Basking Basking is the process in which snakes and other cold-blooded animals soak up the sun's warmth by spreading out on a rock or other heat-absorbing surface. On a cool day, snakes will seek out a rock or other surface and spread their bodies out perpendicular to the sun. In many cases, the snake will also spread its rib cage to make its body wider and able to soak up more heat. Some snakes can also make their skin a little darker to absorb more of the sun."

They can survive for an entire week without water but, at the same time, they can drink 32 gallons of water at once. Their body temperature ranges from 93 °F to 107 °F, so they don’t need to sweat very often and can conserve water this way. The spongy bones in their noses absorb any excess moisture to keep every drop of water in, so the air they breathe out is dry air.

They do not have ears as most of us think of an ear. They do have a sensory ear bone, called the columella, which detects vibrations. Snakes use their tongues to detect smells to find food or stay away from enemies. Their eyes do not move inside their head, and they do not have common eyelids. Some types of snakes have a special pit located near their eyes that allows them to detect small changes in temperature. This allows them to be aware of the heat given off by the bodies of rodents or other animals they might want to eat. A snake's skin is made of a variety of sizes of scales. The scales near the head are small while the scales on the underside of their body are thick and protect their bodies from the ground. A snake continues to grow throughout its life."

Furthermore, many owls are ideal ambassador birds at aviaries, zoos and nature centers, so everyone can see them up close and get intimately familiar with their favorite owls. Types of Owls There are more than 225 owl species in the world, divided into two families. Barn owls with their distinct heart-shaped facial disks make up the Tytonidae family, while all other owl species are in the Strigidae family. It can seem like there are many more species, however, because many owls go by a number of different common names throughout their ranges. This makes it important to learn the scientific names of owls to be certain of proper identifications and not mistake one common name for an entirely different species. While only a handful of owl species are classified as endangered, nearly 50 species are vulnerable or threatened with drastic population declines. Several species have not been studied well enough to make a proper determination of their status, and so the numbers of owls that may be in danger of extinction could be even higher.

When the young snowy owl babies are born, the parents will take care of them for about 60 days, though they will find their own homes outside of their parent's nests after approximately 25 or 26 days."

PUEBLO, Colo. - Floating on the waters of Lake Pueblo is a snowy owl, though you might have to squint to see it. Luckily, Brandon Percival, a birder from Pueblo West, was out at the lake looking at seagulls when he first spotted the arctic visitor. \"\" Pueblo Reservoir gets lots of rare gulls, and I was looking for gulls and happened to see the snowy owl sitting on the tires,\"\" Percival said. Since he reported it on Monday, birders and passersby have been stopping to see the rare sight. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say the last time a snowy owl was at Lake Pueblo was in 1984. But lake manager Monique Mullis says if you do stop by to see it, be respectful. \"\" Don't ruin it for everybody else. You know, this is really an exciting thing and you've already talked to some people who find this very neat and there's a lot of people coming from all over to see it,\"\" Mullis said. She said while the owl is sitting where it is now, the South Marina is only open to slip renters. \"\" If there were a lot of people close by and especially boats getting very close by just to get a view, that could be very stressful and dangerous for the bird,\"\" Mullis said."

Harold Hanka, The Westerly Sun December 18, 2017 01:39AMBy Cynthia Drummond, Sun staff writer WESTERLY — Snowy owls are arriving in New England in large numbers this winter in an irregular phenomenon known as an “irruption. ”There are approximately 18 of the large, white owls currently in Rhode Island, and several of them have been seen along Westerly’s shoreline. Rachel Farrell, a member of the Rhode Island Avian Records Committee, said the birds, from Ungava in far northern Quebec, are concentrated this year in New England and around the Great Lakes. “This is the largest irruption since the irruption of 2013-2014,” she said. Paradoxically, the reason the owls leave the North is the consequence of too many lemmings — the owls’ primary food. Advertisement“Lemmings have a bust-and-boom life cycle,” Farrell said. “ This particular year, there was a boom. There was a very large population of lemmings. When the adult snowy owls see that there’s a large population of lemmings, they make more eggs."

"text": "Snowy Owl Scientific Name: Nyctea scandiaca Snowy owl in flight | Steve Greer Habitat: Snowy owls originate in the Arctic and most spend their lives there. However, sometimes they may migrate down to the great lakes region and mid-western states in the winter. This is occurring more frequently in recent years due to climate change and habitat loss. Unlike other owls, snowy owls depend on open grasslands, nest on the ground, and hunt for small mammals, fish or waterfowl during the day. Refuges where the Snowy Owl can be found: Snowy owl about to take flight | Dennis Connell Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Status: Snowy owls are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, however, Alaska law allows Alaska residents to shoot unlimited numbers of owls if they are used for food or clothing. Description: As their name suggests, snowy owls have beautiful white plumage. Male snowy owls are almost completely white while females are darker with spots. In the Arctic, their white coloring helps disguise them from predators and enables them to sneak up on their prey. Though they are normally found in the Arctic the snowy owl is extremely dependent on it’s main food source, the lemming, and will also travel to where lemming populations are greatest. For that reason and due to climate change these magnificent owls can sometimes be spotted in the upper mid west and Canada."

We have listed a few individual species - their names, origins, features, traits, diets and what makes these amazing creatures so amusing and intriguing to the public. Types of Monkeys There are two categorizations of monkeys – New World and Old World primates. They have quite a few differences; for example their eating habits, infant care, habitat, physical features, etc. They are, however, of mere significance compared to how much they all have in common and what makes them unanimously of the same family. We will look at a few of the different types of monkeys from both worlds and we will examine their traits, physical distinctions and origins. New World Monkeys New World monkeys originate in the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. They can be seen swinging from branches and treetops with their prehensile tails, something their Old World counterparts lack. Here is a look at different types of monkeys among the New World category.

From the lack of lots of vegetation, some herbivores in the Tundra have a hard time finding areas with a abundance of plants to eat during the Winter. But some animals like the caribou or musk oxen can eat the lichens and other plants. Also, nearly all the Tundra's vegetation have adapted in some way to help reinforce the survival of their species. Almost all the plants that are in the Tundra biome are in the Alpines region and there are none in the most Northern parts of the biome (in the North Pole and South Pole. ) Bearberry The bearberry plant is a very small evergreen that can only grow up to 10 inches off the ground. It's name actually matches its description because bears eat the 3/8\"\" diameter berries. Also, something interesting about the plant is that the whole plant can be used in some way. Like the berries, eaten, the leaves can be used as a tea to help with kidney/bladder problems,the roots can also be used for tea, but to help constant coughing, and the stem, used to help women recover faster after childbirth. It is also kept from the cold because of its small hairs on it and also because it lays low on the ground so it doesn't get hit as much from the cold winds."

It is the heaviest bird in North America, weighing from about 1.6 to 3 kg. Its body is about 2-71cm long, with a 125-150cm wingspan. They have large yellow eyes, curved black beak, and a white face (as shown in the anatomy diagram). Their white face and body are useful in their breeding habitats in the tundra; it helps them camouflage from predators and preys. Male snowy owls have a barred black and brown design on their wings, but tend to become paler as they age. Females however, tend to keep the black and brown markings throughout their entire life. The shape of their beak and talons make it easier for them to catch their prey, which are usually lemmings. Their yellow eyes help them see better at night, however just because they can see better in the dark doesn't mean they can't see just as well in the daytime. Snowy owls are both diurnal and nocturnal, so this feature in their eyes is very important."

"text": "Tax planning tips: Disability insurance The income you receive from disability income insurance may or may not be taxable. The taxability of disability income insurance benefits depends on what type of benefits you receive, whether the premiums were paid with pretax or after-tax dollars, and who paid the premiums (you or your employer). Individual disability income insurance The rules surrounding taxation of individual disability income insurance benefits are generally simple. Because you pay the premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits you receive are tax free. However, unlike health insurance premiums, you can't deduct premiums paid for individual disability income insurance as a medical expense. Sometimes, your employer pays for an individual disability insurance policy on you. This may be the case if you are considered to be a key employee of the business. If so, different rules may apply. If the employer gets the benefit, then the premium is not deductible to the company, and the benefit is not taxable when received by the company. Employer-sponsored group disability insurance If you are enrolled in a group disability insurance plan sponsored by your employer, the taxability of your benefits depends on who pays the premium."

Settlement Agreements are legally binding agreements between an employer and an employee, formerly known as a Compromise Agreement. Whether you are an employer letting staff go or an employee about to lose your job, Settlement Agreement advice from a solicitor is essential. It is usual for a Settlement Agreement to be entered into either shortly before or after termination of an employee’s employment. These agreements are sometimes used when redundancies are made, but they can be used in a number of situations. A Settlement Agreement allows for a clean break of the employment relationship where the employee agrees to waive their right to bring claims in return for an agreed sum, or compensation. Generally speaking, employers can pay the first £30,000 compensation for the Settlement Agreement tax free, but this will not apply to all payments. Tax on Settlement Agreement differs according to a range of considerations. How Settlement Agreement payments are treated for tax purposes will depend on the basis on which they are paid."

"text": "If you have children, you can often claim them as dependents on your annual tax return. However, when your children receive Social Security checks because of a disability, disabled parent or deceased parent, tax returns become a bit more complicated. Although you can still claim a child who earned income during the year as a dependent, the Internal Revenue Service may require a separate tax return filed under the child's name. Taxable Social Security Not all Social Security benefits are taxable. To determine whether your dependent child's benefits could be taxable, divide the child's annual benefits by 2 and add the result to the child's other taxable income for the year. If the total is more than $25,000, some of the child's benefits may be taxable, and he may need to file his own tax return. In most cases, the maximum taxable amount equals 50 percent of the child's total annual benefits. Filing Requirements If your dependent child receives more than $950 in taxable unearned income, including Social Security benefits, he must typically file an annual tax return to report the income to the IRS and pay any tax he owes. In most cases, dependent children must also file tax returns if their earned income exceeds $5,950 or if the total of their earned and unearned income exceeds $6,250.

Because tax planning throughout the year can add up to significant tax savings, here are some steps to take so when the annual April income tax deadline arrives, you are well-prepared. Taxes on Disability-Related Sources of Income You likely are familiar with how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) taxes work income or investment income, but people with disabilities also need to understand the taxation of disability-related sources of income. Monthly Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)Generally, the IRS can tax up to 50 percent of your Social Security disability benefits. To calculate this amount, add one-half of your SSDI benefits plus all of your other income sources. You will owe taxes on any amount above a base level. A worksheet to check taxability of SSDI benefits is available on the Allsup website. Lump-Sum SSDI Benefits It can take more than two years to receive Social Security disability benefits, resulting in a lump-sum amount of back payments. Paying taxes on this amount in one year is a mistake and could be financially devastating. The IRS allows you to spread out taxes on this lump-sum payment over previous tax years using the current-year tax return, with no need to file an amended return."

"text": "Will Workers Comp Offer Me A Settlement?by Steve Fields | April 21st, 2015Often, a workers’ compensation insurance company will offer to settle a case, in the hopes of avoiding a lengthy trial. Accepting the Workers Compensation settlement offer is an important decision for you that you need to make with the guidance of your Minnesota Workers Compensation Attorney. Generally, injured workers have several questions about the settlement process, such as how long workers comp settlements take, how the settlement process works, and when to expect your settlement check. Another common question is whether the injured worker can be fired after a workers compensation settlement. The bottom line is, it is against the law for employers to retaliate against an injured worker who has filed a work comp claim or is seeking work comp benefits. Once you and your attorney have discussed your case and weighed your arguments against the insurer’s defenses, it will be easier for you to make your decision. If you don’t already have a Minnesota workers’ compensation attorney, Fields Law Firm would be happy to review your case, answer any questions you may have about how to maximize your Workers Compensation benefits and help you understand the Workers’ Compensation settlement process. Workers Compensation Settlement Process Your workers compensation attorney will typically attempt to negotiate a settlement for you that’s in your best interest. Your attorney will draft a Settlement Demand to the insurance company that outlines all of the different components of exposure for the insurance company.

Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Jun 5, 2016 at 3:25PMMost Americans pay Social Security payroll taxes out of their paychecks in order to fund the benefits that go to those who currently collect Social Security. In their eyes, that means that they've paid into the Social Security system, and so any benefits they earn from it should be free and clear of further taxation. Yet in a couple of situations, benefits that Social Security pays are indeed taxable for federal income tax purposes. One of those situations involves Social Security disability, and although many people end up not owing income tax on their disability benefits, some do. Below, we'll look at disability benefits both from the SSDI and the Supplemental Security Income programs to determine what, if any, of their benefits you might have to include in your taxable income.

Most Social Security disability claimants wait several months -- and sometimes several years -- before they are approved for benefits.

In many -- but not all -- cases, this back pay is taxable. Taxable Benefits Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is needs based. If your income and resources are low enough to qualify for SSI, then you are exempt from income tax by definition."

"text": "\"Publication 525 - Main Content Employee Compensation In most cases, you must include in gross income everything you receive in payment for personal services. In addition to wages, salaries, commissions, fees, and tips, this includes other forms of compensation such as fringe benefits and stock options. You should receive a Form W-2 from your employer or former employer showing the pay you received for your services. Include all your pay on line 7 of Form 1040 or Form 1040A or on line 1 of Form 1040EZ, even if you don’t receive Form W-2, or you receive a Form W-2 that doesn’t include all pay that should be included on the Form W-2. If you performed services, other than as an independent contractor, and your employer didn’t withhold social security and Medicare taxes from your pay, you must file Form 8919, with your Form 1040. These wages must be included on line 7 of Form 1040. See Form 8919 for more information. Childcare providers.

"text": "Disability income is generally not nearly as much money as you would make by working without a disability. Therefore, it is not surprising you would be concerned about income taxes further eating away at this income source. How you report disability income to the Internal Revenue Service depends primarily on who pays for the disability insurance policy. Adjusted Gross Income Defined Adjusted gross income is your total taxable income minus certain deductions. Total income includes wages, interest, dividends, alimony, business income, capital gains, retirement distributions, unemployment compensation and Social Security payments. Once total income is calculated, certain deductions are subtracted to arrive at adjusted gross income. Common deductions include educator expenses, health savings account contributions, moving expenses, certain self-employment expenses, alimony payments, individual retirement account contributions, student loan interest and tuition. Public Disability Income Social Security Disability Insurance is a program of the Social Security Administration that employees and employers pay into through mandatory tax withholdings. SSDI income is taxable if your total income exceeds $25,000 if you are single or $32,000 if you are married and filing jointly. You will need to fill out the Social Security benefits worksheet included with the instructions for filing your federal taxes to determine how much of your benefits should be included in your adjusted gross income."

"text": "Deducting Medical Expenses for a Major Illness or Injury Updated for Tax Year 2017OVERVIEWTurbo Tax helps you understand medical expense deductions, HSA and MSA distributions, flexible spending accounts, IRA and 401 (k) payouts for medical expenses, and more. The article below is accurate for your 2017 taxes, the one that you file this year by the April 2018 deadline, including a few retroactive changes due to the passing of tax reform. Some tax information below will change next year for your 2018 taxes, but won’t impact you this year. Learn more about tax reform here. Medical expense deductions Most taxpayers know that medical expenses are deductible but few of us ever actually benefit from the deduction. The catch? This deduction has two high hurdles: You must itemize deductions to write off medical expenses, and only about one-third of taxpayers have itemized in the past. Medical costs are deductible only after they exceed 7.5 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in 2017 and 2018. So if your AGI is $50,000, the first $3,750 ($50,000 x 0.075) of unreimbursed medical expenses doesn't count. Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, all taxpayers may deduct only the amount of the total unreimbursed allowable medical care expenses for the year that exceeds 10% of your adjusted gross income."

"text": "Say Ahhh!Getting MAGI Right: When Does Social Security Income Count? February 4, 2015 Tricia Brooks Last week, we released a primer on the basics of MAGI – how rules for counting household size and income to determine eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP have been aligned with Marketplace subsidies. The move to MAGI has brought about a number of changes in Medicaid and CHIP, but to further complicate things, there are some differences that apply only to Medicaid and CHIP. Today, we’re going to drill down on one of the more confusing aspects of MAGI: when does Social Security income count. Social Security income includes retirement, survivor benefits, and disability payments. For the most part, only taxable sources of income count in determining household MAGI-based income. However, all Social Security income of tax filers is counted, regardless of whether it is taxable or not. On the other hand, Social Security income is ONLY counted for tax dependents – those individuals claimed as a tax exemption on someone else’s tax return – if they are required to file taxes. Social Security disability (SSDI) is often confused with another type of income – Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI is not counted under any circumstances toward a household’s MAGI."

"text": "Question I retired last year, and started receiving social security payments. Do I have to pay taxes on my social security benefits? Answer Social security benefits include monthly retirement, survivor and disability benefits. They don't include supplemental security income (SSI) payments, which aren't taxable. The net amount of social security benefits that you receive from the Social Security Administration is reported in Box 5 of Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, and you report that amount on your income tax return ( Form 1040, line 20a or Form 1040A, Line 14a). The taxable portion of the benefits that's included in your income and used to calculate your income tax liability depends on the total amount of your income and benefits for the taxable year. You report the taxable portion of your social security benefits on Form 1040, line 20b or Form 1040A, line 14b. To find out whether any of your benefits may be taxable, compare the base amount for your filing status with the total of: One-half of your benefits; plus All of your other income, including tax-exempt interest. The base amount for your filing status is:$25,000 if you're single, head of household, or qualifying widow (er),$25,000 if you're married filing separately and lived apart from your spouse for the entire year,$32,000 if you're married filing jointly,$0 if you're married filing separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year. If you're married and file a joint return, you and your spouse must combine your incomes and social security benefits when figuring the taxable portion of your benefits."
